The champion is my son

Chapter 404 What gift to give for birthday?

Gu Xiangwan's pupils shrank slightly.

Is she keeping a distance on purpose?But these are not important now, the important thing is that Li Qing is doing well now, so he is relieved.

"Hehe, we don't need to talk about things in such a serious tone. I don't know why Doctor Gu came here this time?" Li Qing tried to break the embarrassing situation and avoid having nothing to say.

When Gu Xiangwan saw that Li Qing was back to normal, he also smiled and said: "There is really something. Two months later, it will be the [-]th birthday of the high official family. In the sixtieth year, it will be celebrated with great fanfare. As a subject, birthday gifts must be prepared. , I'm stuck on this birthday ceremony, Lady Li has always had a lot of tricks, so come here to ask for advice!"

"Oh?" Li Qing recalled carefully, as if it really happened.Men who have passed their tenth birthday are imaginary years old. Qi Guan is 59 years old this year, but his birthday is [-] years old.

Tianqi stipulates that regardless of gender, a birthday party can only be held at the age of sixty.According to this law, after three years, Mrs. Jiang will be at [-], and she will hold a show for Mrs. Jiang at that time.

"Since the gift is for His Majesty, it should be considered auspicious. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are too common, and calligraphy and painting by famous artists are fine, or you can choose what you like."

"Calligraphy and paintings by famous artists? There are a lot of gifts, but it's the preference of high-ranking officials. This...he likes porcelain with cracked ice flakes, but I can guarantee that there must be many gifts for him."

Li Qingqing propped his chin with his hands and frowned while thinking.

Not only for Gu Xiangwan's consideration, she also had to think about what to give.After all, they are the parents of food and clothing. Although Qi Guan as the emperor sent by their family may not be able to read it, she can't be sloppy.

"Does the imperial physician have any insight?" While thinking, Li Qing also wanted to hear Gu Xiangwan's thoughts.

"I... I haven't been able to figure it out for the time being." Gu Xiangwan rubbed the back of his head helplessly, he had thought of everything Li Qing had just thought of, but was rejected.

Li Qing nodded, after much deliberation, she felt that there was only one possible solution.The so-called specialization in surgery, Gu Xiangwan is a doctor with superb medical skills after all, so it is not difficult to use his specialty to give gifts.

"Last time I heard that you only see your majesty, and you can give gifts alone, using what you are good at." After Li Qing finished speaking, Gu Xiangwan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "I understand."

Gu Xiangwan got up and saluted Li Qing, then said, "Thank you, Mrs. Li!"

Li Qing smiled back: "Physician Gu doesn't need to send a post if you come to visit in the future, just send someone to report."

"Okay." Gu Xiangwan seemed to have a warm current in his heart, and when he turned around, he put one hand on his chest, where it was beating thumping, a little fast.Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Gu Xiangwan said goodbye to Li Qing and left.

Jiang shi came out from the back door and walked to Li Qing.

"Ah Qing, what is this Imperial Physician doing in our house?" Jiang is very grateful to Gu Xiangwan, not only because Gu Xiangwan and his Imperial Physician team eliminated the plague in Jinzhou, but also because Shang The first time he was on the racetrack he was willing to risk his life to save someone.

It was her grandson who was saved.

"Come here for the emperor's birthday in two months, mother, we should also get ready, what do you think is a good gift?" Li Qing inadvertently diverted Jiang's attention.

What?The emperor's birthday?
Jiang couldn't help recalling the first time she saw the emperor that day, such a majesty of the emperor, in this majesty concealed two parts of kindness, and the rest was all piled up of cruelty, giving people a kind of aura that can only be seen from a distance but not blasphemy. The feeling of playing.

It was the first time for her to see this battle. She chatted with a few old guys before and managed to dispel the little fear in her heart. Finally, she saw the legendary queen again, and she was suddenly very nervous.Fortunately, my own Ah Qing has been comforting her, otherwise she would really be scared to pee.

In the end something happened to Yunji, she didn't pee out of fright, but she almost lost her soul.If it weren't for being the head of the family, she had to hold on, and she would have passed out long ago.

Years of hard life had made her develop patience for suffering, and she insisted on saving Li Qing and Gu Xiangwan.Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, but who would have thought that the emperor came, and she also witnessed the assassination of the emperor by the assassin.

Regarding this, she could only say that it was too dangerous. She wanted to take Yunji back to the countryside. It was better to face a gossip woman than to die at any time.It was a thrilling and exciting day.

In the next few days, many people sent invitations or invitations, but she and Ah Qing rejected them on the grounds that they were frightened.

Over time, the number of invitations decreased.

Also ended up clean.

"Mother? What are you thinking?" Li Qing reminded Jiang shi when she saw Jiang shi standing there in a daze.

Jiang Shi was awakened suddenly, her thoughts were still on seeing Tianqi's emperor and empress, and she was at a loss for what to do.

"Uh~ It's nothing, it's just some things." Jiang Shi laughed.

Li Qing raised his forehead, wondering if he could use expressions such as nervousness, shock, and fear?I'm a bitch, let's take care of my facial expressions.Li Qing concluded that Jiang was thinking wildly again.

"It's still two months away, and our small family also gives gifts to the emperor, so how much will he collect a day, and get rich! My old lady wants to do it too." Jiang said in a low voice.

"..."

"When Auntie is on her [-]th birthday, I will definitely let you accept the gift with mercy." Li Qing said with a mischievous smile.

You always have to pay back when you come out to hang out.Like the emperor's house, every item received must be registered and recorded like them, and when the courtier's family has something to do, they have to return the gift to show the emperor's favor to the courtier.

Generally speaking, only high-ranking and powerful people have this honor. Ordinary officials, forget it!
This is the so-called power technique of the emperor.

Li Qing was different, she had to respond to all those who came to the Jiang family's house to give gifts, which was the so-called "reciprocity".

So, this is really a hassle.

It is not unreasonable for Tianqi to stipulate that birthdays can only be celebrated when they are sixty years old. At least for the first 60 years, it will save a lot of trouble, right?

"Hey, let's not do those nonsense, the official birthday gift, you can send it over if you see something good at our house, I hope he won't dislike it." Jiang shook his hand, glanced at the exquisite surroundings, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. I feel that I have nothing to get out of my house.

Big families don’t like to give bacon on their birthdays. In the past, on the [-]th or even [-]th birthdays of the elders in the village, they brought a piece of pork or a pair of pigs into the water as a gift.Now the place and status are different, and the big family doesn't like money, let alone the big family is still the emperor.

Jiang didn't have a good idea for a while.

"I have a way, mother, don't worry about this matter." Li Qing half-closed his eyes to meet the sunlight, Jiang looked at Li Qing along the light, and vaguely felt that there was a little silver light on her body. nice.

"Since you have your own ideas, you don't need to consult too much as a mother." Jiang Shi echoed.
