After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 6 Rewards
Ye Chonghua glanced at the fiery bubbles at the corner of Gu Xian's mouth, and he was in a good mood. If it wasn't for that old fellow Li Changhai who whispered something in his ear, he would have forgotten about it. It is said that during Gu Xian's tenure in the Northwest, his When he moved to the capital, his things were only loaded into two carriages, and there were still a few boxes of books in his collection. He suddenly pointed out such a good marriage to his daughter, where would he go to prepare the dowry?

Don't you have to rush out of the fire?
Ye Chonghua smiled and said: "Shops in good parts of the capital are not so easy to buy, and the surrounding lands are all owned, even if there are a few for sale, it is not easy to find them.

It's also my fault, I didn't think carefully, I didn't give you a reward for your meritorious service that day, so let's give it together today. "

……

So when Gu Xian returned home, a group of little eunuchs carrying things followed behind him.

Mrs. Gu was dragged by her husband to kneel down to accept the reward. Gu Wanning and her brother knelt behind, and the little eunuch sang the newspaper there, "The emperor rewards the daughter of the Gu family: a village in the suburbs of Beijing, a shop in the capital, huanghuali chicken wing wood furniture One set each, forty pieces of fine cloth, four sets of jade accessories, four sets of white jade accessories, a pair of jade ruyis, a pair of gold ruyis, bracelets, fingers, tin, hairpins, emerald flowers, bracelets, earrings, rings, Two rings and two nail covers..."

In short, the clothing, clothing, property, and shop were all rewarded once. Gu Wanning calculated, don't pretend too much, these can definitely make up a dowry of thirty liters.

After the little eunuch sang the report, Gu Xian led his family to thank the emperor for his kindness, then got up quickly and handed a purse to the leading little eunuch. It is said that the little eunuch Li in front of him is the apprentice of Li Changhai and Eunuch Li. neglect.

Unexpectedly, eunuch Xiao Li didn't accept it at all, "My lord Gu, if you really love this slave, you can give him some tea!"

Gu Xian was taken aback, this guy had something to say, he quickly pulled Eunuch Li to sit on the seat, and served tea.

Little Eunuch Li drank three cups in a row before he put down his teacup and said, "Master Gu, you don't have to thank me. The reason why the emperor knows you are in a hurry to buy a shop and land today is all thanks to the slave master. As for the furniture It was Master Slave who made a special mention, Mr. Gu has no time to prepare furniture for his daughter when he just came to the capital, Master, he remembers your kindness!"

These words were straightforward, without turning a corner at all, as if he was afraid that Gu Xian would not understand.

Little Eunuch Li was referring to the matter that Gu Xian helped him that day. If Gu Xian hadn't been clever enough to really fall over the emperor, none of them who served in front of the imperial court would have gotten a good result.

Gu Xian hurriedly said: "Don't dare to take it, don't dare to do it, Mr. Li's love is in mind, and he will repay it every day."

Little Eunuch Li said a few more words and was about to get up and leave. Gu Xian hurriedly stuffed a purse into Little Eunuch Li's hands. This time he didn't refuse again, and led the people away cheerfully.

After the people left, Gu Wanning reminded: "Father will also wear more ornaments and banknotes in the future. The most unofficial people in the palace are these eunuchs walking in front of the Holy One."

How could Gu Xian not know?That young eunuch Li clearly wanted to say those words on purpose, just like the last time the eunuch who passed the decree specifically said why he pointed Wanning to the sixth prince, it was all written by Li Changhai.

Mrs. Gu said: "Sir, should we prepare a gift for Eunuch Li?"

Gu Xian didn't speak, but looked at his daughter instead.

Gu Wanning knew what her father was looking at, so she said, "It's best if father doesn't do anything.

Being able to be favored by the emperor for more than 30 years, the relationship between Eunuch Li and the Holy One is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

He will not offend the emperor for anyone, if the father gives him a gift, the daughter can be sure that the emperor will know after he receives the gift, which will arouse the emperor's disgust. "

In the position of the emperor, he must think: what do you, a courtier, want to win over my close minister?There must be a picture!

"Then why don't we do anything?" Mrs. Gu said.

Gu Wanning: "Do nothing, so that Eunuch Li can speak freely in front of the emperor."

Gu Xian nodded immediately, that's the reason!

Just like your own housekeeper, when someone comes to the house and stuffs a purse into the housekeeper, the housekeeper will turn around and tell himself that it doesn't matter what the other party's purpose is, the important thing is that next time there is something related to the other party, he will I will try my best to guess and guess, so as not to fall into the other party's trap.

On the contrary, those who usually keep a distance, when something happens, he will help as soon as he can.

If you ask for something, you will be courteous, if you don't ask for it, you won't fawn on it!
"Then we rewarded the eunuch Xiao Li today, will it have any impact?" Mrs. Gu asked worriedly.

She has been living in the Northwest for these years, with a pure mind. Moreover, she was born in a bad family, and her father is a scholar. He has never dealt with the emperor. It is normal for her to be confused about those twists and turns.

However, Gu Xian felt that Madam was never a fool, if you teach her slowly, she will get used to it soon.

Gu Xian laughed and said, "Haven't you heard that the King of Hades loves to deal with little ghosts? Someone like Little Eunuch Li, who has only been around for two years, and is ... lost in his thoughts, all he thinks about is money." , We gave him money, and he was satisfied, and he would say a few good words in front of his master when he went back.

And he ran this trip to get some rewards, even if he said that the big sky is right, we are respectful to little Eunuch Li, that is to respect Li Changhai, the attitude is here, Eunuch Li is a sensible person, he will not to blame. "

The Gu Jianning brothers and sisters have been sitting on the sidelines without speaking, drinking tea while watching how their father teaches their mother, the atmosphere of the family is quite harmonious.

Little Eunuch Li opened the purse on the carriage back to the palace, and inside was a 50 tael silver ticket.

This amount is not the highest, and it is not uncommon for those big eunuchs in the palace to get a reward of 200 taels.

But it's definitely not a lot, five or ten taels is the norm, and the Gu family's wealth is really not rich, so it's pretty good to be willing to give out 50 taels as a reward.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Lizi told his master about the matter, and Li Changhai went into the palace to report to the emperor, the emperor nodded to show that he understood, and then asked about what happened just now, "What did the imperial concubine say just now? "

Li Changhai hurriedly put a purse in front of the emperor's case, "The imperial concubine stuffed a purse with the slave, but the slave hasn't looked at it yet, she made a pot of soup for the emperor, and the slave took it to the small kitchen to warm it up."

The emperor picked up the purse and looked inside. It was a jade pendant of good quality. Of course, the things that the imperial concubine empress gave to the head of the imperial court must be the same. The emperor threw the jade pendant at Li Changhai, "You can take it for reward, Tang I reward you too."

In the summer, who wants to drink those so-called hot soups stewed by themselves.

Concubine, your heart has been raised!
"Go to pass the decree, and have dinner in the imperial concubine's palace tonight."

Li Changhai took the order to deliver the decree.
