delicious little cook

Chapter 420
After Gu Yun arrived home, he entered the bedroom with his front feet, and Miao Er and the others offered him gifts like treasures, asking him to open them.

I heard that Gu Hui brought it back from the tea party, and Gu Yun didn't know who it would be from the tea party, and it was a condolence item. The only thing he deserves condolence these days is that he failed the exam, but this was expected. It's not worth giving a special gift of condolences at all.

After cleansing his face and changing his clothes, Gu Yun opened it on the outer couch with a gift in his arms. It turned out to be a box of high-quality ink ingots from somewhere in the south. It was 12 yuan in total, representing twelve months in a year. Each piece was engraved with There are the representative flowers of the month, and the words of the month are engraved on the back, and there is a faint smell of medicine. It is a rare medicinal ink, so exquisite that it can be treasured as a work of art.

After receiving such a set of expensive gifts, Gu Yun was really reluctant to use them as ordinary ink ingots. He just picked them up and played with them one by one. Only then did he see the envelope that was deliberately pressed under the ink ingots. He pulled out the paper and took a look. People are really unexpected.

Gifts and letters from the princess and Shi Tianmin, the eldest son of the stone son-in-law.

What was mentioned at the beginning of the letter was the eagle my younger sister Shi Tianqi got from Gu Yun last winter. The eagle has grown up very well under the care of the eagle breeder. Their brothers and sisters like it very much. I always wanted to thank you Gu Yun's separation, coupled with the recent news that he will fail the exam, he wanted to express his condolences, and also heard that at the tea party that my sister attended today, one of the invited guests was Gu Hui, so I asked her to see him off.

After hastily reading the letter, Gu Yun sighed, accepting such an expensive gift from someone, it is natural to return the gift, and this back and forth has caught up with Concubine Zhao Xian's circle.

"Where is Guanshi Bai now?" Gu Yun asked while putting away the letter and ink ingots as they were.

"At this time, she is preparing dinner in the small kitchen." Meihuan replied.

"Put this gift on the desk in my study, and tell Steward Bai to wait for me in the study after dinner."

"Yes, young master." Meihuan took the things, turned and went out.

After dinner, Bai Kou went to the study room first to wait for the eldest son to greet the elders back, and saw the exquisite carved box on the desk, because it had been opened, she opened it generously, took out the letter and read it, and figured it out. The origin of this gift.

This is the beginning of contact.

Bai Kou pursed her lips and chuckled, there was a play to watch this year.

When Gu Yun walked into the study, he saw Bai Kou holding the letter and playing with it in his hand, his eyes rolled around, and he smiled treacherously with bad water in his stomach.

Qing Lan, who was waiting in the study, saw the young master coming back, she bowed quietly and left. The young master suddenly received a valuable gift from someone else, and she really needed to have a good discussion with Bai Guanshi about it.

Gu Yun stepped forward on tiptoe, and before Bai Kou turned his head, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, first grasped Bai Kou's elbow, and then lowered his head to kiss her on the face to steal a mouthful of tender tofu.

"What bad idea are you thinking of?"

"No, I'm just waiting to see if you can make reliable new friends." Bai Kou rolled her eyes, her elbows were restrained, and she couldn't give this pervert a little color.

"Since you have read the letter, what kind of gift should I return?"

"Anything, antique calligraphy and painting is fine, if you want something elegant and not vulgar, it's like your box of medicinal ink, are you really willing to use it?"

"Reluctantly, I'm considering whether to offer it up as a display."

"You'd better go to Wenwan Street to see what is suitable for making gifts. Wait for the workshop to make it yourself. I don't know when it will be qualified."

"Okay, someday you will go to the street with me."

"Isn't it time to return the gift? How about some more days? Why don't you invite him to play polo and see his skills? No matter what the purpose of the other party's sudden contact with you is, at least the one who can play with you is a good partner." .”

"It makes sense. Invite him to play polo and sweat freely, and the chatterbox will be opened."

"We have no evidence to prove which princes have the intention to seize the throne. We only know that the prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be easily shaken. If you have the opportunity, show your loyalty to the princes and remind the prince to be cautious. As long as there is public opinion and the hearts of the people Even if he is framed and loses his sacred heart, it is not so easy to abandon. The saint himself is a son, and he definitely hopes that his sons and grandsons can inherit the great rule. This requires the joint efforts of all parties. By the way, remind the prince to be patient. He is too young, less than 30 years old, his current life experience and political experience are not enough to support him to be a wise king, he needs time to continue to grow."

"You are talking about the crown prince, so bold."

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Did that Shi Tianmin also study in the government?"

"Yes, he is the same age as me, and his current wife was also his father's teacher back then."

"So his condolence gift is not given to you directly, but passed on through the sisters. It's really interesting."

"I think so too. I don't understand what he means. How did Gu Hui let them know when he went out to attend a tea party for the first time?"

"Naturally, there are well-informed people in Miss Qianjin's circle. Besides, it's not a secret that Miss Hui goes out to socialize. This shows that she is recovering well and can go out. It's too late to be happy."

"However, this is also good. Get in touch with different people more and broaden your horizons, lest you only see the prince in your eyes. If your horizons are too narrow, you will easily fall into a trap."

"It's best if you understand everything."

"Okay, let's get in touch first and see what they want to do."

"Is there nothing else?"

"No, what's wrong with you?"

"A little personal matter."

"Or is it related to your eldest sister?"

"The servant girl wants to buy a house in your name for the eldest sister to settle down."

"Oh, you want to do things in my name again? It seems that the last time you paid off your sister's debt was also in my name. What did you say before, and you don't care about your sister's debt."

"The servant girl has softened her heart and changed her mind, can't she?"

"Okay, okay, she is your eldest sister, she can do all the things that should be done in one breath, and save you from long nights and dreams, isn't it just buying a house in my name, okay, okay, go do it, you should Just take it back and sign it for me."

"Thank you, son."

"However, how will your eldest sister settle down in my nominal house? Rent my house?"

"The people in Zhuangzhai Yahang said that long-term tenants can also settle down with the address of the rented house. Just sign a ten-year long-term contract. It happens that the eldest sister also needs a stable environment to raise her children. After ten years, the children will be almost ready. .”

"How much older is your sister than you?"

"Ten years old."

"Then she's only in her early twenties? Do you want her to remarry?"

Gu Yun immediately thought of himself. There was also a ten-year age difference between him and his eldest sister, Gu Xian. He had been taken care of by his elder sister since he was a child, and his younger brother, Brother Chen, was closer to his second sister, because his elder sister had already married when he could remember.

Like Bai Rui's current age, it is the people who are encouraged by the government to remarry. Widows and widows are lonely and old, and men are married, and women are married. Besides, she has finished keeping filial piety for her deceased husband. interfere with her future.
