Chapter 179 Reward

The brocade box was opened, and inside were two azure jade vases that had been raining for a foot long. The two bottles were the same size and had no flaws at all. The bottles were covered with fine ice cracks and had a warm luster. The texture was almost Comparable to fine jade.

Zhang Ze came in with a different wine bottle. When he saw the bottle on the table, he was speechless and said, "My dear, I really sent you a Ru kiln bottle!"

"This bottle is so beautiful. I'm afraid this pair of bottles costs thousands of taels of silver! The prince is really willing to give it up."

Su Chen pursed his lips and said, "Take it to the warehouse."

The maid closed the brocade box, and the two of them carefully carried it away.

Zhang Ze saw that the young master was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly shut up and retreated. He took the bottle of wine and went to the King of Qi to return to his life.

After hearing Zhang Ze's reply, King Qi nodded repeatedly, "No wonder the taste of this wine is so unique. Five kinds of grains are used to brew it. The brewing technique must be extraordinary as well."

“It’s a pity, it’s a pity that the winemaker is no longer there. I never thought that there could be such an expert among the people and such a good wine!”

Zhang Ze knelt on the ground, "The second master Gu refused to accept the money and didn't give out the small banknotes."

  King Qi lowered his eyes and stared at him slightly, "Don't you want any money?"

"Since the Gu family came from famine, they must be poor and unwilling to accept money, but if they have something to do, they need to come to the government?"

Zhang Ze hurriedly said: "No, the Gu family are all kind-hearted people. They take care of many young masters along the way. They don't know the young master's identity, let alone your identity."

 King Qi raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's rare to see this happen."

“Go to the steward and tell him what I ordered him to pack and send a few things over, and say it’s for them as a reward. I can’t ask for someone’s good wine in vain.”

 King Qi paused, "You also go to the steward to receive twenty taels of silver."

Zhang Ze is the bodyguard of the Su family, so he will naturally be rewarded for doing things for him.

"Yes." Zhang Ze bowed his head in response, then stood up and left.

 After receiving the silver reward, the housekeeper asked Zhang Ze to make another trip.

Zhang Ze had no choice but to drive the carriage out of the city with a coachman after lunch.

 Gu Fei and Xiaocao were playing with deer in the front yard.

This deer must have been artificially raised and is not afraid of people. Xiaocao was feeding it with a handful of dry corn stalks in his hand.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Gu Fei went over and opened the door. When he saw Zhang Ze, he was stunned for a moment. Why did he come again?

 I made three trips this day.

Zhang Ze also smiled bitterly and bowed his hands, "My uncle likes your wine very much, so he sent me to bring you some gifts."

Gu Fei looked embarrassed, "Brother Zhang, I really can't take it. Mr. Su has given us gifts for so many years, and we deserve it. Please pull the car back quickly."

When Xiaocao saw someone coming, she hurriedly ran to the backyard to call her grandpa.

“Grandpa, the uncle who gave you the deer is here again.”

Gu Zhang quickly put down the book in his hand and walked out.

Zhang Zezheng didn't know what to do. Seeing Gu Zhang come out, he quickly bowed and said, "Second Uncle Gu, these things were given by my uncle. You have to accept them anyway. If you don't accept them, I'm afraid I'll have to make another trip." ”

Gu Fei stopped talking when he heard the word "reward".

 There is a difference between giving something as a gift and rewarding it.

 Sending means communicating on an equal footing, while rewarding means condescending.

 It is estimated that Mr. Su’s uncle’s status is not ordinary.

Gu Zhang also figured out the meaning of the word "reward". You don't have to accept the gift, but you don't have to accept the reward.
