Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 29 Treasure
But when the box was opened, he was stunned.

The huge box was divided into several compartments, all of which were padded with red velvet cloth, and in the middle was a model ship with red lacquer and gold trim. The most wonderful thing is that the circle of sapphires inlaid on the bottom of the boat is shining with dark light, as if the boat is swimming through a crystal blue river belt under the moonlight, it is amazingly beautiful!

In the smaller grids on the left and right are placed a slingshot inlaid with gold and jade, an exquisite suet white jade abacus, an exquisite gilt silver enamel filigree box, and a tube of jade pen and pen.

Du Yanyu also took a look with her head, couldn't help exclaiming, and hurriedly turned around to call Xiao Huaisu over.

The corners of Gu Qinghuai's lips curled into a somewhat smug smile, these things were carefully selected by the second brother, even if they were sent to the palace, it would not be too much, but for a girl who is only three years old ...Even he couldn't figure out the second brother's intentions.

Xiao Huaisu just glanced at these things and felt that these things were hot, so he hurriedly took Mrs. Du's sleeves and shook them gently, "Grandmother, these things are good, but they are too expensive..." This is to ask Mrs. Du to help her refuse up.

Gu Qinghuai is not a vegetarian either, so he cut off the conversation before Mrs. Du could speak, "Speaking of which, these things look dazzling, but they are actually not expensive at all, such as that sea boat, the sapphire on the bottom of the boat is just Some leftovers are not worth a lot of money, but the workmanship is a bit exquisite, and other things are used by my second brother in the past, but I didn’t play much when I was a child, and I happened to meet Xiao’s younger sister on the road, so I remembered it.” After a pause, he looked at Xiao Huaisu again, and said with deep meaning: "Actually, whether this thing is valuable or not is secondary, and the heart is the most important thing. The second brother values ​​Xiao's sister so much, even I feel a little kind when I see it. Like my own younger sister!" He laughed again, showing a bit of youthfulness.

Gu Qinghuai's words really blocked the mouths of Mrs. Du's grandchildren.

Now that we've talked about this, if you keep pushing back and forth, you will inevitably look a little petty.

Xiao Huaisu's cheeks puffed up, and he calmed down again, then he thanked Gu Qinghuai kindly, "Please thank the fifth son for me, the son, don't give such expensive things from now on, I really can't bear it! "

Gu Qinghuai waved his hand and didn't care what Xiao Huaisu said, since the things were sent out anyway, he could have an explanation when he returned home.

Du Yanyi was full of questions and wanted to ask Gu Qinghuai for clarification, so the two bid farewell to Mrs. Du and went out together.

Du Yanyu walked around the box for a few times, reaching out to touch the abacus, and knocking on the enamel box. It was obvious that she couldn't put it down, but it was a pity that none of these things were given to her. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but sighed again. .

But thinking that someone can be kind to Xiao Huaisu, which may be a comfort to her, Du Yanyu let go of her heart, and only took Xiao Huaisu's hand and said, "What's wrong with my son, I also give you a boat model and a slingshot." You, this looks like a boy's plaything, and I don't know what he thinks."

Xiao Huaisu smiled helplessly, and then whispered in Du Yanyu's ear: "Probably he thinks I'm wild. When we went back to Bianjing together, he still encouraged me to ride a horse. If it wasn't for..." the corner of his eyes swept Du Yanyu away. On the old lady's side, the voice lowered a bit, "If it wasn't for the grandmother and the eldest aunt watching, maybe I really want to try it!"

"what!"

Du Yanyu covered her lips in surprise, she had seen her father ride a horse before, she was afraid to look at such a tall horse, let alone ride it, Xiao Huaisu is really brave!

This also makes sense why Xiao Huaisu was treated differently by Gu Qingyang, as expected, people are incomparable, Du Yanyu felt relieved after thinking about it.

"Third Cousin can just take whatever she likes, I don't need these either."

Xiao Huaisu pointed to the things in the box generously. Although all of them were exquisite and looked good, they were rewarded for nothing. Even though she accepted them, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Du Yanyu hastily declined and said: "This is not good, Shizi explained clearly that I gave it to you, and asked Gu Wuge to deliver it personally, I can't take it, it would be so bad if people saw it in my place tomorrow! "

It is good for sisters to be harmonious and friendly. Mrs. Du nodded secretly when she saw it, and then waved to invite the two of them to come over, and said to Xiao Huaisu: "Anyway, they are small things, so you can take them away, and I will let them go later. When your eldest aunt returns the gift, she will give the son another copy, so you can feel at ease?"

"This..." Xiao Huaisu bit his lips in embarrassment, "This is not costing the family, I..."

Mrs. Du patted Xiao Huaisu's hand, "Okay, since others say it's not worth it, let's not feel precious, just treat it with a normal heart!"

"Yes, grandmother!"

With Mrs. Du's words, Xiao Huaisu let go of his heart and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Huai Su, it seems that the crown prince really values ​​you!"

Mrs. Du took a meaningful look at Xiao Huaisu, the little girl hadn't grown up yet, no matter how she looked she was a little girl, but Gu Qingyang was a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, no matter what, no one would think of that aspect, maybe she really voted Eyes!
This girl was originally born in a pitiful background, now that someone is kind to her and willing to please her, Mrs. Du is not so repulsive in her heart.

"Where did grandma go?" Thinking of all the things on the road, Xiao Huaisu couldn't help but pouted, "He just likes to bully me!"

Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing, she tapped Xiao Huaisu's forehead with one hand, and said dotingly: "This is not bullying, I am teasing you because I like it, this child is really competitive!" After speaking, she shook her head with a smile.

But Du Yanyu grabbed Mrs. Du's sleeve curiously, raised her head and asked, "Grandmother, how come you haven't heard of this eldest son of Duke Jing's family before?"

"How old are you?" Mrs. Du smiled and glanced at Du Yanyu, "He has been living in his uncle's house for the past few years, and he has only returned to Bianjing not long ago, so we met by chance when we returned to Beijing. "

"Oh."

Du Yanyu suddenly realized.

Mrs. Du ordered her mother-in-law to carry the box back to the Xiaokua courtyard where Xiao Huaisu lived, and the grandparents and grandchildren chatted about other interesting things, so I will not mention this matter for the time being.

Xiao Huaisu stayed in Mrs. Du's house for a day. When she was tired in the afternoon, she took a nap in the warm pavilion. After waking up, she followed her to recite sutras in the small Buddhist hall behind the old lady's house. The day passed like this.

Returning to her small yard after dinner, Qiu Ling asked Xiao Huaisu for advice, "Should the things sent by the son be placed in the house, or put away in the warehouse?"

Xiao Huaisu thought for a while before he said: "That boat was resting on Duobaoge, such a beautiful thing was put away and dusted, it never looks so bright now, and the jade tube wolf hair was put in the blue and white pen holder in the study , Put everything else away!"
