Chapter Twenty-Eight: Receiving Gifts
"Thank you, third sister. Summer solstice, take the little girls down to rest, and come back to serve later. Jiu Ge instructed, Xia Solstice and others heard the words, and they all went out.
"If my sister has anything to say, just say it. Jiu Ge put down the box, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
When Zhang Mengfan heard this, he got up and went to Jiu Ge, and knelt down with a flutter.
"My sister begged my sister to show me the way. Then he fell to the ground with his hands and bowed his head.
Jiu Ge was taken aback by this gift, this is going to be a long life. immediately got up and helped Zhang Mengfan up, and led him to the side and sat down.
"My sister is smart, why do you need my sister to guide you, you just need to understand the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost. ”
"I beg my sister to make it clear. ”
"Anyway, we are all in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you get more fatherly love, so in the past, my father would not ask you to do anything for the Prime Minister's Mansion. But the Prime Minister's Mansion never raises idlers, and all you can think about now is to think about what you can do for the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Thank you, sister. Zhang Mengfan is ignorant, these things need to be understood slowly, and she will understand sooner or later.
"My sister said goodbye, and I hope that the second sister will be successful in everything and be united forever. Zhang Mengfan curtsied, which was a farewell.
"Thank you, sister, go slowly. Jiu Ge got up to return the salute, and watched Zhang Mengfan leave, and a kind of compassion rose in his heart, pity for himself and others.
After that, several waves of people came, and the eldest sister and Yang Xiuyuan went to the Chenwang Mansion tomorrow as guests, and they also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion today. Zhang Mengke came to Shuyue Pavilion early, Zhang Hongyi and Zhang Hongli also came together, and there were a bunch of people surrounding Shuyue Pavilion.
Jiu Ge asked Xia Zhi to prepare candy and snacks for reception, and the three of them did not leave until dinner. Jiu Ge is also too lazy to cook, so he asked Yuan Jiu Ge to cook and often followed the spring and autumn equinox next to him and served it up, although the taste is a little different from Jiu Ge's familiar hands, but it is also eight or nine and ten.
Zhang Mengke finally ate such a meal again, and was so happy that he disregarded his image and ate it with his belly open, so Jiu Ge had to ask Cuiguo to prepare hawthorn soup and give her to drink after the meal.
The two brothers of the Zhang family ate these dishes for the first time, and they couldn't put it down for the braised pork, which was simply delicious in the world.
Zhang Hongli puffed out his cheeks, and said regardless of the image of etiquette:
"Second sister, where did you find the cooks in your yard? Find me one too, I'll take it back to the old mountain, the food there is already unpalatable, and now that I have eaten you, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it anymore." ”
Gu Yu smiled: "There are exactly two, let me take you and take one away, anyway, I won't take it with me when I leave the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow." ”
The two of them in the Spring and Autumn Period, who were waiting behind, heard Jiu Ge say that they would not take them, and they were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and pleaded.
"Please take Miss with me, I swear to follow Miss to the death. ”
After the autumn equinox saw the spring equinox, he immediately nodded his head like pounding garlic, "Me too, please take me with you." ”
Jiu Ge still couldn't stand this kind of kneeling and bowing, and glanced at Xia Zhi, who immediately stepped forward to help the two up.
Zhang Hongli looked embarrassed and said:
"It turned out to be two girls, and the old mountain didn't allow the girls to go up the mountain, so forget it. ”
Jiu Ge was also embarrassed, so he had to say: "The third brother can come back to the Dust King Mansion to find me, and my sister will do it for you." This is also a polite sentence, Jiu Ge is sure that he will not go. Of course, it's hard to say what will happen in the future, and there is really a person who often rubs rice later.
Seeing that the two girls were begging earnestly, Jiu Ge turned to the two of them and said, "Now, the third young master refuses to ask you, so he can only follow me." ”
Seeing that Jiu Ge agreed, the two girls relaxed and stood aside.
After eating, Jiu Ge still served lemon tea, and half a pot of hawthorn water relieved their greasy.
"This is to add makeup to the second sister, I see that the second sister has not yet worn a sword, just a few days ago I got a handful of wild hunting, so I will give it to you. Zhang Hongyi took out a long sword from the storage bag, the hilt was a warm and flamboyant fiery red, the scabbard was also red, it was inlaid with blue gems, and the word "Hongling" was engraved on the sword body.
"Wow, Hongling Sword, which ranks sixth in the sword spectrum, is usually reluctant to show me. Zhang Hongli looked envious.
"Such a valuable gift......
"Second sister can't refuse, I don't have any other gifts. Zhang Hongyi interrupted Jiu Ge's words and stuffed his sword into Jiu Ge.
"In this way, I thanked my eldest brother when I returned to the dream. "Jiu Ge is very empty-hearted, this sword depends on fate, not if you want to have it, you can meet it if you want to. However, it's not polite to push, and if you send it, you will accept it.
"Now, mine is not as valuable as my eldest brother. Zhang Hongli said, took out a small milk dog from the storage bag, and handed it to Jiu Ge.
The little milk dog is the size of a palm, covered in gray hair, with ears erected, small eyes dripping around, wagging his tail vigorously at Jiuge, very clever.
"Wow, I like it, I like it, so cute. Jiu Ge couldn't help it when he saw the little milk dog, after all, he liked kittens and puppies very much in his previous life, but he didn't expect to receive a little milk dog, or a civet dog. There are quite a lot of dogs, but greyhounds are a rare breed, and it is modest to say that they are not valuable.
"If you like it, you name it. Zhang Hongli saw Jiuge's happy appearance, and his heart was full of happiness.
"What's it called? Ah, let's call it stupid, summer solstice, take stupid down, find a cage to hold it first, and find a dowry to hold it tomorrow." Oh, and don't forget to tie it a red string. ”
The remaining three couldn't help but roll their eyes, what is this name?
Jiu Ge happily commanded again, turned around and saw the sword, called the spring equinox over again, and arranged: "Spring equinox, you go to the housekeeper's mother to ask for a box, put Hongling in it, and find someone to hold it tomorrow." Oh, the red rope has to be tied. ”
Zhang Mengke saw Jiu Ge's happy appearance, and also covered his lips and smiled, took out a gift box and handed it to Jiu Ge.
"Well, this is my sister's, open it and take a look. ”
Jiu Ge took the gift box and opened it to see that it was twelve jade bone fans, the fan handle was made of white jade, the fan surface was brocade, and the December flowers were embroidered with Su embroidery.
"Wow, this is also a rarity, hey, it feels good to receive a soft gift, thank you, sister. ”
"This one has to be tied with a red rope, so let's find a special one to hold it tomorrow, right?" Zhang Hongli said with a smile.
"Yes, the autumnal equinox, take it down and do it. ”
"Hey, you all gave me such a valuable gift, and my sister is a poor person, so I don't have anything to give in return, so I'm sad. Jiu Ge sat down, leaning on the table and resting his cheeks in a sad expression.
"My sister deserves the best. Zhang Hongyi, who was silent for a while, said loudly.
"Hahaha, okay. ”
"It's not early at that time, I still have to go back to Yang's Mansion, so I won't stay long, sister, I will be happy in the future." Zhang Mengke got up, took Jiu Ge's hand and said seriously.
"Sister, stay safe on the road. ”
As soon as Zhang Mengke left, the two brothers did not stop, and went back to their respective yards.
