Princess and The General

Chapter 15: Only toys are accepted as gifts

Views:

The fact that Gu Shubai bought a few brocades in Jinling with a lot of money, somehow spread to the imperial capital.

It's not that he marveled at his splendid arrogance. The elder son of Guhou Mansion spent thousands of taels on shopping, which is not worth mentioning.

It is worth mentioning that it is said that he bought these brocades to add new clothes to his sister at home.

Since Lord Gu lost his wife sixteen years ago, he has not renewed the strings and has no concubine room. Where does this sister come from

Suddenly, the appearance of Yufu became a hot topic in the imperial capital.

Some half-knowledgeable people revealed a little bit of news, and some imaginative people added fuel and jealousy, and Yufu's identity has been "conclusively concluded"—

She was raised in the outer room of Master Gu Hou in the frontier, and is his illegitimate daughter!

Such rumors gave comfort to those who had been surprised by Gu Huaijiang's refusal to continue.

It turns out that Lord Gu Hou was not fond of his deceased wife, nor was he innocent and reluctant to accept concubines, but he had an outside room long ago!

I heard that the young lady who came out of the outer room was already twelve years old.

The well-informed courtiers had prepared their gifts long ago, and they were about to cross the threshold of the Hou Mansion, scrambling to make their gifts favored.

You know, Gu Houye is notorious for not accepting gifts and not forming parties for personal gain.

Under his military order like a mountain of education, the princes of the Guhou Mansion, like him, never accept gifts from courtiers.

It's one thing to receive it or not, and it's another thing to send it or not.

The courtiers squatting in front of the Guhou’s mansion were lucky: I heard that Gu was very doting on this young girl, maybe this time he took it as an exception

What they prepare is not any valuables, they are all clothes and jewelry that their daughter’s family likes...

In the door, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager stepped out, with a polite smile on his face.

"Masters, our Lord Hou ordered me to thank you for your kindness."

Upon hearing Qi Zhou's casual words, everyone felt that their ears were wearing out cocoons.

Every time they send gifts, Qi Zhou answers like this!

"Master Hou said that he would not accept any valuables. If there are any interesting things, he can send it to Miss Yufu."

Hearing the latter sentence, everyone's eyes lit up, and a flame of hope ignited in their hearts.

"Yes! Look at my exquisite white jade dice, the lady will definitely like it!"

"And me, my agate-tailed shuttlecock, it's what little girls like to play with!"

"I am also interesting..."

Yu Fuzheng sat under the back porch of the West Wing, eating the special snacks of the East Ling Country, while watching the spring water bubbling in the back.

She thought it was very interesting. Looking at it, her two lotus-root-like calves were dangling in mid-air.

The clear and fresh water of this spring always reminded her of the creek in the Immortal Valley. In summer, she often stomped on the water with her bare feet in summer.

She missed the master a bit.

"Miss, there are so many gifts from outside, do you want to go and see?"

Qi Ting walked out of the house, and since she was reprimanded by Gu Jiuge last time, she has been more disciplined.

Only occasionally when I see Yaolan and Yufu being too close, I still can't help but roll my eyes secretly.

It's just a Miss Ye who doesn't know where she is, she is not rare to be intimate!

As long as she can stay steadily in the West Wing, the princes in the palace will not be able to see her, and with her status in the palace, she will surely be able to marry one of the princes.

Yufu didn't seem to notice her concern, but turned his head to look at her.

"What gift? Did the general give it to me again?"

These days, Gu Huaijiang did not send things to the West Wing, some for food and clothing, and some for fun.

Gu Shubai and the others were not idle, scrambling to deliver things to the West Chamber, and almost all of the things that Yufu could use were delivered.

This makes Qi Ting very dissatisfied.

She's not her biological sister, and she doesn't know what the sons love her so much!

"No, it was sent by foreign ministers. Those ministers thought that the young lady was the illegitimate daughter of Lord Hou, so they changed their ways to send gifts to please!"

What she meant was that Yufu was a fox and a fake tiger in order to get the gifts from these courtiers.

As Qi Ting said, she quietly looked at Yufu's complexion, and saw nothing unusual.

She was relieved a lot.

Yufu was still young and could not understand the irony in her words.

"It turned out to be like this. Since it's here, I'll go and see it."

Although she was soft when receiving gifts recently, Yufu was a little girl and couldn't help but rejoice when she heard the gifts.

The person who gave those gifts was Qi Zhou. When he saw Yufu, he smiled and bowed, and then ordered someone to carry the gifts up.

After seeing the gifts, Yufu exclaimed.

Seven or eight young servants were holding gifts in their hands, full of gifts, making people worry that those gifts would fall to the ground at any time.

Her worry is unnecessary.

The servants of Guhou's Mansion were all well-trained, and they quickly arranged all the gifts neatly, and piled up a hill on the table.

"Uncle Qi, are these gifts for me?"

Qi Zhou was called the uncle by her, and she couldn't help but froze. After reacting, her heart seemed to melt away like honey, sweet to the heart.

His smile couldn't help but soften a lot.

"Yes, Miss Yufu. Leave whatever you like. If you don't like it, just ask Qi Ting to come back to me and I will come and clean them up."

When Qi Zhou said to clean up, it was like saying to clean up some garbage.

Yufu couldn't help giggling, thinking that the atmosphere of Guhou's Mansion was really clean, and even Qi Zhou had a bit of a breezy backbone as a manager.

His father Qi Anqi was the steward and was also a loyal old servant with excellent tutoring.

pity…

Yufu's dark eyes rolled, and his mouth was flat, but after all, he still didn't say what was in his heart.

It is a pity that Qi Ting did not inherit the loyalty and calmness of her grandfather and father.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Zhou respectfully said: "In fact, when I come today, one more thing is to bring Guanshi Li's daughter-in-law to see Miss Yufu."

Guan Shi's wife

Yufu tilted his head and looked behind Qi Zhou, and he saw an older woman.

She is of medium build, dressed in a neat womanish bun, and has a smile on her face.

Seeing Yufu looking at her, she stepped forward and gave a generous blessing.

"I have seen Miss Yufu."
