Chapter 114

Mainly because her grandfather really didn't have much talent here.

It is said that in his early years, his grandfather was taught to practice calligraphy by his still young second uncle. He couldn't learn well. Instead, he had to lose his temper at the second uncle, tearing paper, folding pen and lifting the table——

Of course, the second uncle was not polite when he was young. His sentence "sprinkle a handful of rice in the snow, and the chicken pecks better than you write", has been hated by his grandfather until now.

Her father told her all this.

Thinking of these, Xu Mingyi had a smile at the bottom of his eyes.

Wu Chiu looked at the brocade box in ah Kui's hand again.

So, Miss Xu's inkstone is most likely bought for others?

If you give gifts to girls, you should not choose such objects.

So, only men?

Will you be an elder in your family?

The dishes were served quickly.

Wu Chiu, who had a good appetite when he came, was facing a table of delicious food. Because he couldn't get the answer, he had no desire to use chopsticks.

But this time, Miss Xu is the host, and he doesn't look too ungrateful.

I just forced myself to eat a few mouthfuls, but eating... My appetite seems to have come back.

The food in this restaurant is really good. No wonder Miss Xu is full of praise. Her mother secretly wants to eat it herself.

But he was still curious about who Miss Xu's inkstone was bought for——

Aware that his eyes fell on the brocade box again, Xu Mingyi, out of courtesy, asked, "childe Wu is interested in this inkstone? If childe Wu wants it, just take it back."

As for tomorrow's birthday gift, just buy something on the way.

Wu Tsung coughed softly.

Is he so obvious?

"Miss Xu misunderstood." the young man explained solemnly, "I was just thinking that Miss Xu is going to give this inkstone to others? It happens that there are several rare good inkstones in my family. If Miss Xu needs it, she can choose to see if there is a more suitable one."

Of course it's just nonsense.

Even with a hint of temptation that he didn't even notice.

But it's not a big talk. If Miss Xu needs it, he will send someone back to the town government.

Xu Mingyi smiled at the speech.

"No need."

Mr. Wu helped her a lot. It is said that she spent almost the same money for Mr. Wu. There is no reason to take advantage of him.

"It's really a gift, but it's just a birthday gift for my brother. He's still young. This purple gold inkstone is enough."

For my brother?

Wu Tsung was surprised for a moment, and his mood calmed down.

But——

Is this a birthday gift?

If he was right, Miss Xu happened to see a pen and ink shop in the street and temporarily decided to have a look

Then, taking advantage of the gap waiting for the dishes, he went downstairs and bought the inkstone back.

It takes at most a quarter of an hour from the decision to the purchase.

I have to say that this birthday gift is really perfunctory.

But it is also in line, so that people can't find fault.

Unlike him, in the face of such problems, he wants to be perfunctory, but he can't think of how to be perfunctory.

By the way, Miss Xu is also a woman——

Wu Chiu thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you could trouble Miss Xu to give me an idea?"

"Mr. Wu, but it doesn't hurt to say so."

Xu Mingyi will try his best to help if he can help.

"In a few days, it will be my mother's birthday. I still don't know how to prepare gifts -"

In the past, when he was in Ningyang, he had to write a letter to deal with it. Now, if he didn't say anything in Beijing, his mother would have to look at him with sad eyes of "what's the use of raising a son".

But when it comes to guessing the preferences of women's families, he really knows nothing.

If you ask the women and servant girls around your mother, you really can't open that mouth.

Xu Mingyi thought carefully for a moment.

"Why don't you send a cat."

Wu Tsung was stunned.

"Cat -?"

The answer was really beyond his expectation and even beyond his cognition.

Give an elder a cat?

Xu Mingyi nodded affirmatively.

"As for jewelry, the eldest son's wife certainly doesn't lack these. Wu Shisun should not be good at doing embroidery work that can express his heart?"

Wu Tsung looked strange.

It's not just about being good or not

"And Mr. Wu will go back to Ningyang after all. Send a living creature in front of the wife of the son of God, and you can accompany the wife of the son of God on behalf of Mr. Wu."

Xu Mingyi remembers that Mrs. Wang Shizi of Dingnan likes cats very much.

Although for the sake of dignity and modesty, they never show it on the surface, they will secretly go to rob the cats running in other hospitals.

If Wu Chiu sent it, for the sake of her son, the wife of the son would have a reason to "reluctantly" take it and keep it with her.

Wu Tsung was persuaded.

Although he has never seen his mother raise these things, he likes cats and dogs since he was a child. They say that his son is like a mother. I don't think his mother will hate it.

"Tomorrow I'll have someone look for a better one."

"I have a good friend. There are two excellent looking lions and cats at home. It happened that there was a litter of kittens last month. Why don't I ask for one and send it back to the teahouse?" Xu Mingyi suggested.

Wu Chiu did not refuse, nodded and said, "thank you, Miss Xu."

There is no better way to send the Buddha to the West.

They said something else for a while, drank half a cup of tea, and then said goodbye and left.

After returning to the town government, Xu Mingyi went to the front yard to find Mr. Yao.

Yao Jing was taking a nap. Hearing the message from his servant, he quickly got up to tidy up his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

Xu Mingyi sat at the stone table in the yard and waited.

"I'm sleepy. I've kept the girl waiting." Yao Jing smiled and bowed.

"I'm the one who bothered your husband's dream. It's just that there's really an urgent matter that needs to be consulted in person, sir."

"Oh, girl, please say -"

"Can you master the art of witchcraft?" Xu Mingyi asked.

Yao Jing shook his beard and looked around subconsciously.

Although the girl can do whatever she wants in the town government, how can she come up and say such life-threatening words!

These topics, where is to ask him whether he understands or not, are clearly asking him whether he wants to live or not——

"Girl, I'm joking... I'm a teacher of orthodoxy. How can these crooked and evil ways be tainted." Yao Jing lowered his voice and reminded the tunnel: "our town government can't have anything to do with such things..."

Xu Mingyi nodded clearly.

"I see."

Yao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the girl was persuaded.

"Since Mr. Yao doesn't understand, I'll ask outside the house."

Xu Mingyi said, making a gesture, he would turn around and order ah Kui.

Ah Kui hurried to listen.

Seeing that the master and servant were alive and ready to make a big deal, Yao Jing was shocked and his face changed greatly.

——The girl is such a "got it"!
