Chapter 309 Return the Gift
"To be polite, it's okay for you to call me Uncle Sun, speaking of which, I am Mrs. Li's brother, and your mother is also a cousin." As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji heard Qin Shou say this, he immediately preemptively said, his sister and brother-in-law haven't heard their son shout Daddy, but he, the uncle, can hear his nephew call his uncle first.
"I don't want to call Mr. Fang so polite here, you can call me Uncle Fang." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"Uncle Sun is good, Uncle Fang is good." Qin Shou shouted again.
"Hey, okay, good." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly agreed, smiling amiably, and secretly flattering with two points.
Fang Xuanling felt very disdainful of this, how could this eldest grandson Wuji be like this, he usually looks like a stiff person, holding the shelf of his uncle, he is like an elder to Li Chengqian, and now he is licking it, shameful, of course he can't be like him, he is the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, so, Fang Xuanling said: "Big nephew, come, this is for you, uncle didn't bring you anything valuable when he went out, don't dislike this, take it." ”
After that, Fang Xuanling gritted his teeth and gave the ancestral jade pendant of the Fang family that he was carrying to His Royal Highness the Great Prince in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
also bit the word "worthless" very hard, that is, it was specially said to the eldest grandson Empress and Li Shimin to know, Your Majesty, Queen, I am kind enough to my eldest nephew, I even took out the family heirloom.
Of course, Empress Eldest Sun and Li Shimin knew about the heirloom jade pendant of Fang Xuanling's family, but they didn't hear it at all, and both of them invariably ignored it and ignored it completely.
Now what do Li Shimin and Empress Changsun think when they look at this lost and recovered son, the more they look at it, the more they like it, and they can't wait to immediately compensate for all the debts they have owed him over the years, what is Fang Xuanling's small heirloom jade pendant/
The heirloom jade pendant of our Li family's royal family is still in the hands of my son.
Qin Shou hurriedly excused himself and said, "No, no, no, I can't ask for your things, this is the first time I have come to the door, how embarrassing." "Qin Shou is indeed thin-skinned, really thin-skinned, and he doesn't dare to ask for things from people who meet for the first time.
"It's okay, it's okay, take it, it's really worthless, it's just a trivial matter." Li Shimin also said, hey, this kid, it's just a jade pendant, what's so embarrassing, the entire Datang belongs to our family.
"That's right, their family is in the jade business, it's nothing, they still have a lot of good jade, ask him to show it to you another day." Empress Eldest Sun also said on the side, and hinted at Sun Mingyue with a strong look, asking Shou'er to accept it quickly.
Fang Xuanling is about to vomit blood on the side, don't take the two of you to be so tricky, you two are really ruthless, you don't spit out bones when you kill people, I have such a beautiful jade in my family, you still have a lot.
Queen, how about your generosity?
Sun Mingyue also said after receiving the hint from Empress Eldest Sun's dark rubbing eyes: "Shou'er, it's okay, you can take it, their family's business is very big, it's not bad." ”
"Okay, then I'll take it, thank you Uncle Fang." Qin Shou said with a smile, in fact, he didn't lack any of these things, and he was secretly thinking about what kind of gift to give back to others as a return gift?
"Alright, come, let's eat first." Sun Mingyue said, "Today there is your favorite braised pork, and it just so happens that our family and your aunt are reunited again, which is also a happy event." ”
"Okay." Qin Shou sat down, Empress Changsun and Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling also sat down, at this time, Empress Li Shimin and they have no distinction between monarchs and ministers, usually everyone eats at the same table like this in private, if it is not a big court, or what kind of banquet ministers, there is no need to divide so much.
Moreover, Li Shimin and these two old ministers also came out of the wind and rain.
I definitely didn't say anything about this feeling.
"Hey, did they wash their hands?" Qin Shou said as if he had thought of something when he saw them doing it.
"Wash your hands?" Empress Changsun and the others were all puzzled, their hands were not dirty, why should they wash their hands?
"My brother said that you must wash your hands before every meal, otherwise you won't be able to eat." Li Dashan opened his mouth and said, and said proudly, usually others tell him some things he doesn't understand, and today he finally has the opportunity to talk to others about this, show off, or relatives from the city, relatives from Chang'an.
"Why do you have to do that?" Li Shimin asked puzzled, he has lived for decades, and he has seen the world well-informed, and he has never heard of such a request, why should he wash his hands when he eats decently?
"This is the rule of our Leisure Villa, saying that if you don't wash your hands, you will have diarrhea when you eat, so you must not eat without washing your hands. And we farmers wash their hands every time they eat, and no one really has diarrhea. Li Dashan said proudly.
As soon as they heard Li Dashan say this, Li Shimin and the others just laughed and went to wash their hands.
When they returned, the food had already been served.
"It's so fragrant, my Lao Li has been well-informed for so many years, I've seen the world, and I've never seen such a fragrant thing."
"Yes, my grandson has also eaten a lot of delicious food, so fragrant, or the first time I smell it, what kind of meat is this?
"It's so fragrant, my old house is going to be hungry."
After Li Shimin and the others came back after washing their hands, they saw a large table full of these meals, and they all exuded bursts of vegetable fragrance.
"Come, you come to the door today, my mother specially brought out all the good dishes, this is braised pork, this is pork ribs and lotus root soup, and this braised fish, the big crab that my brother caught." Qin Shou had already sat on the table, looking at the big table full of dishes at home, looking at his mother, who had been busy for so long today to make such a table of dishes, this relative must be unusual.
After Li Shimin and the others sat down with full anticipation, they couldn't help frowning when they looked at the fat meat, and thought: This ..... That's it? What do you mean?
Such fatty meat will definitely not be beef or mutton.
It can't be such a large piece of chicken, duck and fish.
It can only be said that it is pork.
Although this tastes very fragrant, but pork, this is the first time we have come to the door, you don't tell us to give us fine clothes and food, but you don't greet us with this, right?
That's not big, is it?
Especially Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji were about to vomit blood, they had just given up two pieces of high-quality jade, and they had been hungry for a day, so they were waiting for a good meal and a good meal.
As a result, the family got themselves tons of pork.
This cannot be said that Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji want to use the standards of court officials to ask for people.
