363 I will not tell you my birthday
After the Emperor left Lu Zheng’s house, he went to the Yang’s house next door and took a look at master yang and fourth uncle Gu doing carpentry.
After looking at them for a while, he felt that the master and disciple’s craftsmans.h.i.+p was not bad. If they used good wood, the things they made would not be worse than the Carpenters under the Ministry of Works!
“Xinxin, sisi, let’s go! Don’t disturb your fourth uncle and old Yang from their work!” The Emperor held one in each hand, and they were all held by the back collar.
Gu Xin and Gu si felt that this feeling was very familiar, but they couldn’t recall it.
The girl explained the situation in the village to the Emperor as they walked. Of course, it was Gu Xin who was talking most of the time.
Gu si used to be invisible. Even though he had been spending a lot of time with the sisters of the second branch recently, he was not a talkative person. He only knew how to say a few unexpected words.
In the afternoon, the second branch set up two tables. The Emperor ate the salt and pepper small potatoes and jashed sea pepper potato chips. The little person in his heart had already decided that when Lu Zheng, that kid, presented the potatoes next year, he would have someone specially clean up a piece of land and plant it for himself to eat.
……
The 15th day of the month was Lu Zheng and Gu Xin’s birthday. One was 16, the other 11.
Lu Zheng gave Gu Xin a set of painted twelve Chinese zodiac signs. They were the size of a small potato and Gu Xin loved them a lot. Only grandma Xiao knew that Lu Zheng carved them himself. She could tell what her grandson was thinking, but Gu Xin was still young, so she didn’t say it out loud. She was worried that her poor grandson wouldn’t be able to understand it.
Although it seemed like Lu Zheng treated the four Gu sisters the same way, grandma Xiao knew that he treated Gu Xin differently. It was just that he did not show it.
Gu Nian made two large cakes for the two of them. There was even strawberry sauce on the cakes. She did not plan to tell anyone what they were as long as they were delicious. Even if the gluttonous Emperor asked, she would not tell him.
Gu shouxin gave Gu Xin a piece of calligraphy that he had written himself. It was a hairpin-style regular script that was suitable for young girls to copy.
Cai Xiaolian, on the other hand, made a set of clothes for Gu Xin. After a few months, she had gotten used to her needlework.
The old mansion didn’t give anything, only Grandpa and Grandma Gu gave Gu Xin a red envelope. It was the same in the past.
The Emperor gave the two children a jade pendant each and said with a smile, ” “keep it well! This is very useful.”
“Many thanks, uncle ye!” lu zheng accepted it without a second thought. xue qianyu’s eyes were wide open.’you know he’s the emperor, but you’re so happy accepting it!’
Gu Xin felt that the jade pendant was too expensive and was hesitating to reject it. In the end, seeing how Lu Zheng accepted it so readily, she reluctantly accepted it.
The Emperor,”you’re being despised?” [ when have I ever been rejected when I give something? ]
the emperor was unhappy and directly said, ” “Xinxin, uncle is a rich businessman, very rich. When you’re of marriageable age, uncle will give you even more beautiful and expensive things! You’re not allowed to hesitate in the future! You have to be as thick-skinned as your brother Yuan Yuan, understand?”
Uncle Gu laughed at the side. I say, brother ye. You’re lucky that you’re a rich businessman. Otherwise, your ancestors would definitely jump up and beat you up for your behavior of forcing people to give you gifts! He had seen people who didn’t want to give gifts, but he had never seen people who forced people to accept gifts. You’ll see everything after living for a long time, hehehe ~ I’ll definitely not tell you my birthday. I’m afraid you’ll force me to accept it! Brother ye, don’t ask me for my birthday! Second brother, don’t tell him!”
Everyone thought,”hey, uncle Gu, where’s your face?”
