Chapter 26: Congratulatory Gifts

Ah Gui followed him and whispered, "Master, where is Mrs. Houfu?" ”

He's not blind, of course he does.

An Qien was about to say something to Bai Lu, when he turned his head and saw Lu Bochu not far away.

The eyes of the two collided, and An Qien walked over to the blessed body: "Brother Bochu." ”

The smell of wine on Lu Bochu's body filled the air, and his cold white face flushed.

"Where's the goldfish?"

He smelled of alcohol, but his voice was the same.

"Yes." She replied shallowly.

Lu Bochu came over and looked at the goldfish in the turquoise pond with her.

He suddenly said meaningfully: "If this fish is not confined by the pond, it will be more free, but it will also quickly become difficult to survive, and it is not full of water." ”

An Qien said lightly: "What Brother Bochu said is reasonable. ”

Lu Bochu's eyebrows frowned imperceptibly, and he glanced at An Qien, thinking that she really had a big idea.

He added, "You say this fish is out of water, where else can it go?" ”

An Qien didn't know what he meant, and replied softly: "Water can carry a boat and can overturn a boat, the world thinks that the fish are in the water, but only the fish themselves know whether they are in the water or the toilet." Where can it go, isn't it all its own creation? ”

Lu Bochu frowned slightly, looking at the goldfish swimming happily in the pond, he pointed to one of the goldfish and said: "You see that goldfish is the smartest, it doesn't like this environment, it is not one with them, and quietly found the living space behind Jiashan, and the fish all know that the law of survival is to be prepared for everything." ”

An Qien heard the meaning of his words, and he didn't mean to make her a little clear, but he didn't understand what he said.

Presumably, it was Qiao Jianghong who said something that attracted Lu Bochu's attention.

She thought that he might be kind enough to persuade her to learn the way of student survival and gain the favor of her husband.

"Brother Bochu, you can see it thoroughly."

"Take your time, I'll get through the wine."

After the words fell, Lu Bochu walked to the side of the small bamboo forest.

An Qi Enfu looked behind him, and the goldfish also left.

When he returned home in the afternoon, Qiao Jianghong was still drunk, and it was two subordinates who helped him into the carriage.

An Qien didn't follow him in a carriage, and the two carriages returned to the Hou Mansion one after the other.

Mother Wu went to Qiushuiju to invite An Qien to Anhetang.

When An Qien came to An Hetang, the Liu family was also there.

She was blessed: "Grandmother, mother. ”

Mrs. Qiao gave a seat, and after An Qien sat down, the maid made tea with a good eye.

After the old lady asked some about her daily life in Anfu, she began to ask about the matter: "In a few days, your mother's family will hold a banquet for Jinshi, how do you plan to prepare the congratulatory gift." ”

An Qien replied: "If there are too many congratulatory gifts, there will be little left in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, and the few gifts will lose the face of the Hou Mansion, and Qi En doesn't know what to do." ”

Old Madam Qiao pondered deeply: "You can't lose the face of the Hou Mansion in front of all the guests, your brother is in high school, and the Hou Mansion is also slightly stained, and it is inevitable that he will need his support in the future, and the matter of sending congratulatory gifts should not be stingy." ”

Liu frowned and was also embarrassed: "But our family, if it is too good, how can we live for a long time in the future?" ”

She suddenly thought of something and said: "In a few days, my distant relatives will come, and if this is stingy, my mother's side will not be able to raise their heads." ”

Old Madam Qiao frowned, pinched the Buddha beads in her hand, and felt very depressed in her heart, according to the state of affairs, the Hou Mansion is not as good as day by day.

In desperation, she said: "Congratulatory gift, my old woman is here to prepare, Qien, you urge your husband to move around with your brother more." ”

"Yes, grandmother."

An Qien was very proud in her heart, and the old lady was finally willing to take out the things in her hand.

She has a lot of things in her hands, gold, silver, jewelry, rare curios, fields and villages, and a lot of dowry.

Over the years, Mrs. Qiao has held these things to the death and never took them out.

At the moment, the Hou Mansion Treasury has nothing to take, and she can't let the Hou Mansion lose face and can only take things out of her small treasury.

An Qien remembered that in the previous life, most of the old lady's things were in Shen Shuli's hands.

In this life, she wants to let Shen Shu not see it.

After discussing this matter, Mrs. Qiao asked the Liu family: "What are your distant relatives who can't beat the eight poles doing?" ”

"The concubine's distant niece, when she reaches marriageable age, wants to come to the city to find a good family, doesn't she ask me for help."

"It's still less contacting, this time I opened my mouth, and those poor relatives didn't all come in a swarm."

Old Madam Qiao didn't like poor relatives to come to the door.

Liu lowered his head and responded, "Yes, mother." ”

......

Shen Shuli has already passed the grounding day, and when she heard that the mansion has prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts for Anfu, Shen Shuli's heart is sour again.

These good things, why should they be given to An Qien's mother's family, these good things should be left to her son.

She felt uncomfortable, and Qiao Jianghong couldn't see the figure: "Xiang Zhu, where is the son!" ”

Xiang Zhu replied respectfully: "The prince is at Mrs., preparing a congratulatory gift." ”

Shen Shuli's opinion was even greater: "The old lady didn't prepare it for her, why should the prince still prepare!" ”

"There are some cumbersome things in this, which need to be discussed by the prince and his wife."

Shen Shuli had an opinion, she looked at the window, and unintentionally saw that Qingcui was about to go out with the maid.

She also took Xiang Zhu out neatly, and when she met Verdant, as a cheap concubine, she should greet the concubine first.

But Shen Shuli relied on Qiao Jianghong's favor and looked at the verdant condescendingly.

Shen Shuli has no concubines in her heart, she has all the favor of Qiao Jianghong, which is confidence for her!

Xiaozhi reminded Shen Shuli: "Auntie, when you meet my master, you have to say hello and shout sister." ”

"Smack!"

Shen Shuli directly slapped Xiaozhi's face with a crisp slap, her eyes were cold, and the fiercely frightened Xiaozhi covered her face and blushed.

"You're a thing, and you're worthy of teaching me how to do things!"

Qingcui's face is ugly, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Shen Shuli is not a maid who slaps her!

Qingcui couldn't swallow this breath, so she raised her hand and slapped Xiang Zhu.

Xiang Zhu covered his face aggrievedly and asked with a crying voice: "Auntie, what did the slave do wrong?" Please give me advice. ”

Qingcui stared at Shen Shuli with a cold face and said word by word: "Your master is not sensible, and you are not sensible?" Don't know how to teach her to follow the rules? She is a cheap concubine, so she has to abide by the rules of a cheap concubine! ”

Shen Shuli sneered, gave Qingcui a contemptuous look, and walked away haughtily.

The verdant hands were clenched into fists, and a fire was bubbling in his heart.

The two of them came to Qiushuiju one after the other.

Seeing An Qien, the two of them were very well-behaved and blessed to say hello.

An Qien and Qiao Jianghong sat on the couch and had just finished discussing the congratulatory gift.
