The Cui Mansion congratulated the Cui family's children on high school. Naturally, Cui Yuanbin and his wife wanted to go back to the house to congratulate them.
Cui Yanjin returned home with the brocade box in his arms, and happened to bump into Cui Yuanbin and Liu Yuying. He called out "Mom and Dad," and then thrust the brocade box in his hand to Liu Yuying, "Return it to you."
Liu Yu greeted him, "What?"
Cui Yanjin said: "Your best sword."
Liu Yuying was shocked, "Did you go to my private treasury again?"
"Um."
"What are you doing with my sword? Are you going to give it as a gift again?" Liu Yuying regretted giving her son a key to the private treasury. She didn't know if it was too late to take it back now.
"Yes, but I didn't give it away." Cui Yanjin said seriously: "Your sword was returned." He turned to Cui Yuanbin, "But I gave away a few of dad's things."
Liu Yuying didn't know whether she should be happy or not when she heard this and looked at Cui Yuanbin.
Cui Yuanbin suddenly stared: "You brat, what did you take from my private treasury?"
“Just a few of the most fun things.” Cui Yanjin said.
“To whom? To the concubine again?” Cui Yuanbin’s heart ached, “Didn’t you miss it last time?”
"No, I am making amends to my cousin." Cui Yanjin still disliked it, "Although they are all things to play with and lose one's ambition, my cousin is too busy and has too little free time, so I can still use them to pass the time occasionally."
Cui Yuanbin: “…”
He was shocked, "Did you give it to Zhou Gu? Why?"
Haven't his son and Zhou Gu disliked each other for a long time? This was another thing that happened that he didn't know about.
“Anyway, it’s just for my cousin. My cousin said he forgives me and I accept the gift.” After Cui Yanjin finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. He had to go back and change quickly before the banquet started.
Cui Yuanbin stood there and asked Liu Yuying in a daze, "Do you know what happened?"
Liu Yuying naturally didn't know, but she was very happy, "It turned out to be for Zhou Gu, so that's no problem. As long as the two brothers reconcile."
“The gift of love is not yours.” Cui Yuanbin was dissatisfied.
"It doesn't matter if you give me something." Liu Yuying held the brocade box and handed it to the butler beside her, and ordered, "Help me send this back to the warehouse. Next time the brat takes something, send someone to tell me immediately."
The steward responded quickly.
Cui Yuanbin was heartbroken, "Oh, he didn't explain clearly how many of my good things he gave."
The housekeeper knew very well. He looked at the fourth master and answered for him, "Master Xiao Cui has chosen seven."
Cui Yuanbin: “…”
Can he go to Zhou Gu and ask for his return? Those were all good things he had collected. Wouldn't they be wasted if they were given to Zhou Gu, a busy man?
“Let’s go, husband, I just gave it away, and I didn’t give it to anyone else.” Liu Yuying smiled and held Cui Yuanbin’s arm, “I smell the smell of drunken flowers.”
Cui Yuanbin was angry, "This stinky boy, I want to change the locks of my warehouse."
“Change, change.” Liu Yuying supported.
Su Rong returned to Fengdian and saw a bunch of things on the table. She was curious, "What are these?" She picked up one at random and said, "Things for fun? Or for wisdom? Eh? It's quite fun."
Su Rong blinked.
Zhou Gu only said this sentence, then stopped talking and continued to read the book in his hand. Obviously, these many things were not as attractive to him as the book in his hand. But Su Rong is different. She loves playing more than reading.
She sat down, played with this thing for a long time, and commented very interestingly, "It's so exquisite. This is the first time I've seen such a puppet show. It's really interesting that such a small object can set up a big stage." "
Zhou Gu looked up at her and said, "I've given them all to you."
"Ah?" Su Rong was surprised, "My little cousin gave me a bracelet and a fan, and you were jealous for several days. Why are you so generous now?"
“Is it something I’m jealous of? It’s because he’s being mean to you.”
Su Rongxiao looked at him, "Did you really give them all to me?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "You love to play, don't you?"
"Yes." Su Rong admitted, "Then I won't be polite."
She put down the thing in her hand, picked up another one, played with it for a while and asked curiously: "Why did he suddenly apologize to you? What did you do? Make your little cousin soften to you."
“I didn’t do anything.” Zhou Gu shook his head.
Su Rong didn’t believe it.
Zhou Gu explained simply, "Grandpa asked him not to be angry with me anymore."
Su Rong thought smartly that Cui Gong must have said more than just this sentence, but Cui Yanjin was so convinced that Cui Gong actually listened. She privately thought that this was a good thing, as it would save them from making trouble, and she had to reconcile it. After all, her little cousin was quite cute, and her fiancé still had to be protected and coaxed.
Zhou Gu read the book for a while, and Su Rong played by herself for a while. Zhou Gu put down the book and saw that she was having fun, and he couldn't help but smile, "Is it so fun?"
“Well, it’s fun.”
Zhou Gudao: "It's the fourth uncle's private collection. I didn't want to take it at first, but thinking that you like to play, I took it. Now I'm afraid he will feel pain in his body."
Su Rong said happily, "No wonder there are no such exquisite toys on the market."
Zhou Gu looked at her, "Have you gone to your father-in-law to reason with you?"
The word "reasoning" describes it really exquisitely.
Su Rong couldn't help but smile, "Well, I talked to him for a long time and made him speechless."
After she finished speaking, she gave him an angry look and said, "My father really likes you. It's probably because he and my mother didn't get a consummation, so he was afraid that you and I wouldn't be able to work hand in hand for the rest of our lives. , he felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy."
Zhou Gu propped up his chin and looked at her, "Father-in-law is indeed overly worried. How could he forget that you gave up even returning to the snow all night, but you still want me? Why are you afraid of Nangong Che?"
Su Rong was amused, put down the things in her hands, stood up, hugged him, and kissed him, "That's right for you to think so, but don't imitate him. I only have one for you, so don't think half-heartedly."
"Yeah." Zhou Gu's voice was smiling, he pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her.
His little girl, he understands better than anyone else what she has given up for him. If this is not enough for him to trust, then he doesn't know what else in the world he should trust.
What's more, for a good prince, it is right to love talents, it is even more right to cherish talents, and it is not wrong to treat virtuous officials.
The best way to subjugate people is to make them willing, trusting, respectful, and willing to do anything for them.
For a long time, Su Rong was so soft that she was in Zhou Gu's arms. With watery eyes, she hooked her arms around Zhou Gu's neck and whispered: "It's getting early today and there's nothing else to do. Let's take a rest early!"
The implication of these words is that even if you do something or mess around, you can still get up tomorrow because you went to bed early after all.
Zhou Gu glanced at the sky outside. It had just turned dark. He nodded, stretched out his hand to pull the curtains, picked her up around the waist, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will listen to you." (End of this chapter)
