Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House
Chapter 382: Man's intuition
The gift was packed in a golden nanmu box, which was never opened.
Regardless of what kind of gift is in the box, the golden nanmu box alone is worth a thousand gold.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, and first opened the gift list.
There is a large blank space on the gift list, only the two words "Zhou Jin" written by dragons and phoenixes.
What do you mean?
Do you show your presence in a unique way?
Gu Jiu asked Ma Xiaoliu, "Who is the gift giving person?"
"It's a manager."
"What did you say?"
"It is said that this gift was specially ordered by the son of their family, and it was sent from the south from thousands of miles. To congratulate his wife on the new year."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Did you say anything else?"
"The steward said that their son-in-law is very busy recently and can't come to the capital. When the spring next year, he may have the opportunity to live in the capital for a period of time. He also said that his son-in-law is happy to cooperate with his wife and hopes that the cooperation between the two can be maintained for a long time. Go down."
Gu Jiu was not smiling.
She sent people to Jiangnan just to do sea trade.
But Haimao is not so easy to do.
For the time being, her people have not had a chance to go to sea.
But the cooperation with Zhou Jin has already begun.
Zhou Jin's ability in the south is not small. No matter what goods Gu Jiu wants, he can supply them at fair prices.
Zhenbaozhai’s jewellery is obviously on a high level, thanks to Zhou Jin’s blessing.
Zhou Jin held a large amount of jewellery in his hands, all of which were brought back from overseas by the sea trade all the year round.
Jewelry is a thing that has to be sold and never sold. Selling is worthless.
After years of reluctance to sell, Zhou Jin has a large inventory of jewelry with high quality.
With these jewels, Gu Jiu couldn't refuse to cooperate with Zhou Jin.
Just what does the present in front of me mean?
Qiaomei asked, "Won't Mrs. open it?"
Gu Jiu said, and opened the golden nanmu box. A jade sculpture one foot high and half a foot wide, worth ten thousand gold, appeared in front of Gu Jiu.
Purple jade grape, topaz corn pumpkin, emerald branches and leaves, red jade fruit...
Crystal clear, the water color is absolutely superb.
What is more precious is that it is a miracle that the jade of several colors grows together perfectly.
Only nature can create such amazing natural jade.
Gu Jiu obviously heard the subordinate's exclamation.
Even though he was in the royal family and well-informed, the jade sculpture in front of him still refreshed everyone's cognition.
"It turned out to be a whole, it's amazing."
Who would have thought that high-quality jade in several colors would grow together. Moreover, it was mined and carved into its current appearance according to its shape and color.
Gu Jiu had to admit that this jade carving was too precious. I'm afraid it is rare in a century.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this jade carving is a rare treasure in the world.
Because it is rare, it is precious.
Gu Jiu breathed heavily without the slightest joy.
What does Zhou Jin mean by giving her such an expensive gift for no reason?
Gu Jiu put the jade carving into the box and asked Ma Xiaoliu, "Is the steward still there? Call him, and my lady has something to ask him."
Ma Xiaoliu took the order and left.
Soon after, a sturdy middle-aged man with a goatee, dark complexion, and body was led into the side hall.
Gu Jiu looked at the other party from head to toe, and asked, "Are you in charge of Zhou Jin?"
"Madam Hui, Cao Min Juan, Young Master Zhou is the master of the villain."
Gu Jiu nodded, "It turned out to be Mr. Hu. Do you know, what is your gift?"
Juan shook his head, "The little one doesn't know. The little one was only ordered to give his wife a gift."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Didn't Zhou Jin explain anything to you besides asking you to give gifts?"
Juan shook his head again, "The son is not in the capital at the moment, so there is no way to explain it."
"Where is your son now?"
"Small is not clear, it may be in the south, it may be in the west, or it may be in the north."
Dare to love is running around the world.
Gu Jiu nodded to the green plum, and green plum opened the box of golden nanmu, "Hu Guanshi, look at it, this is the gift you sent."
Juan glanced into the box and was also taken aback.
Gu Jiu said: "You don't need to tell me how valuable a gift is. You know it too. I can't ask for such a valuable gift. You can bring it home."
thump!
Juan knelt directly on the ground, "Please be sure to accept the gift, Madam. If the son knows that the villain has not completed the task, the villain must not die."
Gu Jiu frowned, "If my lady doesn't accept gifts, you will have to die? Could Zhou Jin kill you because of a trivial matter?"
What is killing? If it's just killing, he is not afraid.
The way his son cleans up people is enough to stop the child from crying at night.
Juan shivered subconsciously when he remembered how the old man fell into the hands of the son.
He simply bowed his head to Gu Jiu, "I beg the lady to take her life back, the villain is grateful."
Gu Jiu was dissatisfied, "Zhou Jin has such a big temper. If this lady refuses to accept gifts, he will kill you."
"It's because the villain didn't do well the errands the son gave, it's not about the son."
Gu Jiu observed the other person, she found that Juan was really scared, not acting.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jin looks mild and harmless, like a family prince, but treats his subordinates so cruelly.
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, and said, "I will accept the gift for now. When Zhou Jin arrives in the capital, I will send someone to notify him. This precious gift will be returned to him by my wife."
Juan was stunned, "Is the madam really not going to accept the gift?"
Gu Jiu said with a blank face: "This kind of precious gift, this lady has no relatives and no reason, what reason is there to accept? Even if it is relatives, it is impossible to send precious gifts to each other. Unless your son asks for it. , And the request is huge."
Juan lowered his head, thinking in his heart: Madam is keen, my son really wanted a lot. What he asks is not wealth or fame, but you are what he asks.
However, it would be impossible for him to say this if he was killed.
He kowtowed his head and thanked him, "Thank you Madam for your understanding. When the spring of the coming year begins, the villain will report to you as soon as my son arrives in the capital."
Gu Jiu said.
"The villain retires."
Gu Jiu stared at the golden nanmu box without frowning.
What would she do with such an expensive gift?
"Madam, do you want to put things away?"
"Take it away and put it in the warehouse."
"What's in the warehouse?"
Liu Zhao came back early today.
He walked into the side hall with a wind and snow chill, and saw the golden nanmu box on the table at a glance.
Being in the royal family, I dare not say how powerful other things are, and I still have the insight to distinguish and appreciate treasures.
"Golden nanmu?"
It's still such a big box.
"I don't remember that there is such a box in the mansion."
Gu Jiu sighed secretly, "Someone else sent it."
Liu Zhao stepped forward and frowned when he saw the jade carving inside the box.
"Who sent it? But someone asked to do something?"
Immediately afterwards, he saw the gift list on the table and directly picked it up and opened it.
Very personalized gift list, because only one name is left.
"Zhou Jin!"
The name was spit out from Liu Zhao's mouth, making people feel chill inexplicably.
"Who is this? Why give gifts?"
His consciousness told him that Zhou Jin was not a good person.
How can anyone give such an expensive gift for no reason?
Please ask, it shouldn't be like this.
A gift list with only one name is not the attitude you should have when you ask to do things.
Gu Jiu said lightly; "A sea merchant, born in Huaian Zhou's family, is a relative of Wufu's family from Chuzhou Zhou's family. I have met him before and have some business dealings. This time he sent his subordinates to give gifts. Said to congratulate the New Year.
I think this gift is too expensive, so I plan to return it to him. But he was timid and afraid to take it back. So when Zhou Jin arrives in the capital next year, he will return it to him. "
Liu Zhao's brows were frowning, and his heart was fiery. He also didn't know how the anger came from.
Anyway, a strange man gave such a precious gift to his relatives, he was unhappy.
He asked straightforwardly: "How old is Zhou Jin this time?"
Gu Jiu thought for a while, and said casually: "You are about the same age as you in your early twenties."
So young?
Liu Zhao bit his posterior molar, even more upset.
"How do you look?"
"Not as good as you."
After that, Gu Jiu gave Liu Zhao a white look, "What are you thinking about again."
Liu Zhao snorted, "A businessman, giving you such an expensive gift, why don't you think about it?"
Gu Jiu laughed when he heard the words, "Look at what you look like, people who don't know think you are jealous."
Liu Zhao wanted to say that he was jealous, and he was almost to death.
Think of his grandson, never gave Xiao Jiu such a valuable gift.
A businessman, still a good-looking young businessman, should dare to give Xiao Jiu such an expensive gift, can he not think much about it?
Humph!
"When this person named Zhou Jin arrives in the capital, remember to tell me."
Gu Jiu asked casually: "What are you going to do?"
Liu Zhao hummed twice, "Don't worry, this son will not kill him."
A businessman, how can he have the courage to give such an expensive gift to his own wife?
Gift giving is also very particular.
Not all gifts must be expensive.
Liu Zhao didn't believe it, and a businessman who traveled north and south would not understand it.
Now that you know how to measure, why do you have to do something that is not measured?
Liu Zhao worried about Gu Jiu's safety.
I was worried that this person named Zhou Jin had other attempts that would be detrimental to Gu Jiu.
Therefore, after Zhou Jin arrives in the capital, he must personally review.
Gu Jiu ordered someone to put the gift box in the storeroom and lock it.
As soon as the next person left, Liu Zhao pestered her, "In the future, let the people below handle business matters. You don't need to show up."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Are you afraid of me running away? Don't worry, I rarely show up. They all told Bai Zhong and Lao Deng to do it."
Liu Zhao hugged her tightly, "When you go out, remember to cover your face."
Gu Jiu glanced at him disgustingly, "As for?"
"As for."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "When I go out, I always hug and hug me. Who do you think can approach me without permission? You are just thinking and thinking too much."
Liu Zhao did not admit that he thought too much.
Men are also conscious, okay?
He felt that this person named Zhou Jin was not a good thing and had bad intentions.
Of course, he wouldn't talk nonsense without evidence.
In the past, he tried not to interfere with Gu Jiu's business and allowed Gu Jiu to develop freely and grow wildly.
But now, he has made a decision that he needs to shut down the people in the business field for Gu Jiu.
Qian Fu has to be told to do this.
The gift from Zhou Jin didn't cause much disturbance.
It was quickly left behind.
...
As soon as the wind and snow stopped and the sun was fine for several days, the weather finally wasn't so cold.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Gu Mei invited the sisters to visit Daihou Mansion to enjoy flowers and drinks.
A plum blossom was planted in the back garden of Daihou Mansion.
Plum blossoms are a good time to enjoy the flowers.
The place of the banquet will be set in the flower hall beside the plum blossom.
The flower hall is inlaid with glazed windows, which can enjoy the flowers without worrying about freezing.
Gu Jiu came to Daihou Mansion with a gift.
The carriage stopped at the second gate.
Gu Jiu got out of the carriage.
Gu Mei greeted him personally, "Sister Xiao Jiu, you are a rare visitor."
"Sister Mei teased me again. Sister Mei is in good health?"
Gu Mei is pregnant again. It has been three months, and it was only announced some time ago.
Gu Mei took her hand, "Sister Xiao Jiu, please take a look for me."
Gu Jiu readily agreed and stretched out his hand to check his pulse.
The pulse is stable and strong.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Sister Mei is in good health."
Gu Mei laughed, "I'm relieved with the words of Sister Xiao Jiu."
She glanced at Gu Jiu's abdomen and asked in a low voice, "Are you still not moving?"
Gu Jiu laughed. She knew that Gu Mei cared about her.
She smiled and said, "Sister Mei, don't worry about me, I'm not in a hurry."
"You and Gongzizhao have been married for two years, so you should be anxious. You haven't moved, so the princess didn't say anything?"
Gu Jiu whispered to her, "Some time ago, just because of this, my four younger siblings finally lost the child she was pregnant with. Now the princess is very quiet."
Gu Mei said, "I've heard about this too, but I didn't know that Xiao Qin'er actually had a miscarriage. No wonder the Young Master Council was sapped by the Xiao family."
Gu Jiu laughed when he heard the words, "Sister Mei also knows that it was the Xiao family knocking Liu Yi sap?"
"Several times in the whole city, except for the Xiao family, who would dare to knock the grandson's sap. There are discussions outside, and the two families are making so much trouble for a few concubines, can they still be in-laws in the future?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My family will continue to do it. My princess also promised the Xiao family that Liu Yi will not accept concubines within one year."
"Really?" Gu Mei was surprised as if she heard the gossip of the sky.
Gu Jiu nodded, "This is absolutely true."
Gu Mei said, "The Xiao family is capable."
"It's not that the Xiao family has the ability, but that Concubine Xiao Shu was dissatisfied with Liu Yi, and my princess had to give in."
Otherwise, with Pei's temper, how would he sit down and patiently bargain with Madam Xiao.
The face of Concubine Xiao Shu, Pei must give it anyway.
Xiao Qin'er had a miscarriage, so he had to give an explanation anyway.
Within one year, Liu Yi was not allowed to accept a concubine. This was an explanation to Concubine Xiao Shu, and it was also an explanation to Xiao Qin'er.
Even though Xiao Qin'er was full of grievances and dissatisfaction, the matter was over, she could only knock down her teeth and swallow blood.
The reality is so cold.
Gu Mei said: "I thought that our mansion was messy enough. The result is nothing compared to your palace."
Gu Jiu asked, "But Aunt Qu embarrassed you?"
Gu Mei gritted her teeth, and then said: "Since I was pregnant, my old lady has been thinking about giving the son a concubine, Naliang."
There is a big difference between a concubine and a concubine.
A good concubine is a side room, a side room. Although the child born is also a concubine, the status is much higher than that of the child born to the concubine.
And once the main house dies, the concubine has a chance to get right.
For example, Xie's.
Xie was married to Master Gu as a good concubine.
When Gu Jiu's biological mother Su died, Xie Mao won the favor of Prince Ren Xuan again, and Master Gu took the opportunity to straighten the Xie family.
If Xie was a concubine, or a lowly concubine, that would be absolutely ineligible.
Gu Jiu looked at Gu Mei worriedly, "Sister Mei, what do you do then?"
Gu Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. They want to take a concubine for my son because I am pregnant. I can also stop taking a concubine because I am pregnant."
After a pause, she said again: "The elder son can have a concubine, but she must never have a concubine."
This is Gu Mei's bottom line.
A child born to a concubine has a chance to compete with his concubine.
Gu Mei could not care who Han Shizi slept with, but she would never allow anyone to threaten the child's status.
Gu Jiu was surprised. She didn't expect that Gu Mei would accept Han Shizi's auntie.
Gu Mei smiled, her face calm.
She said to Gu Jiu: "Sister Xiao Jiu, after you have children, you will find that men are the same. As long as you have children by your side, you will have children in your heart, and men have become superfluous. Things are at best used when you want to get pregnant."
Gu Mei is very free and easy, because she doesn't care anymore.
It is enough for her to have children. Men, that's the same thing, why do you care about your heart, die or live, and wrong yourself.
Once she thought it through, Gu Mei felt that the world was wide, and even the air seemed to be scented.
Gu Jiu felt sad.
At the beginning, Gu Mei and Han Shizi were also happy.
In just a few years, the feelings have been wiped out.
Life is such a **** thing.
