Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

There is a piece of clothing inside.

It looked ordinary on the outside, but when Gu Yue picked it up, he felt it was slightly hard and there seemed to be an unusual lining inside.

There were also letters inside.

Su Yingjian said: "This is the soft armor given to Boss Gu, not for Gu Xu, so don't let him wear it."

Gu Yue thought why?

"This soft armor is said to be woven with a special kind of metal thread. It comes in a set of two pieces, and this is one of them. I saw with my own eyes that Luo Dao used a fifty-stone bow to shoot it, and it was not torn at all!"

"The situation in Luoyang is complicated, and your situation seems to be very dangerous. And Xiao Xu seems to be very concerned about you... In order to make him feel at ease, this soft armor is given to you alone. But don't tell anyone else that I secretly took it to give to you. If my parents knew that I gave it to someone, they would beat me to death."

There was another line of red pen markings: Don’t let Gu Xu wear it! Wear it yourself!

"Why can't I let you wear it?" Gu Yue couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xu commented: "This is a very good gift."

"Or..." Su Yingjian emphasized this, and Gu Yue really thought about giving the soft armor to Gu Xu.

"It's nothing, just wear it yourself." Gu Xu said.

"Okay." Gu Yue said.

He thought that he was indeed more likely to die, being cannon fodder and a loser, so he might as well put it on.

But why do we emphasize that this soft armor cannot be worn by Gu Xu?

The next box was a gift from Yu Weishuang. This box was lighter, but very large. When I opened it, I found that there was no letter from Yu Weishuang inside.

The box is very flat, and on the top is a pair of white jade pendants, which are soft to the touch, fine and flawless, and have delicate dragon reliefs carved on them. The two jade pendants are symmetrical in shape, and seem to be able to form a pair of double-ring concentric knots...

"What does a heart knot mean?" Gu Yue felt so upset that his heart was bubbling.

Not to mention friends...

Gu Xu glanced at him and sighed.

"Let's take a look at the next floor," he said.

Gu Yue took out the pair of valuable jade pendants. The next layer was...

"What is this? A pillowcase?" Gu Yue shook open the two finely sewn red cloth bags.

"Yeah." Gu Xu said.

The embroidery on it is also particularly smooth and delicate, and the pattern is as lifelike as a three-dimensional photo.

"It's actually Suzhou embroidery. What kind of bird is this embroidered on?" Gu Yue looked at a pair of birds spreading their wings as if ready to fly.

"Wild geese." Gu Xu said. The corners of his lips slightly raised, and his expression was very satisfied. Yu Weishuang took the trouble.

Gu Yue felt even more sour.

Of course, he knew that in ancient times, there was a custom of sending a pair of wild geese as a gift at weddings, which represented that the couple would stay together until old age and never separate. Yu Weishuang sent this... and even embroidered it on a bright red pillowcase...

People didn't know about his relationship with Gu Xu, and Gu Xu had helped her so much, so it was normal for her to be moved. A gentleman is a good match for a lady...

Just make it clear, right? It is a great sin to make a girl like a gay without knowing the reason.

Gu Xu looked at him for a while, and saw that Gu Yue gradually put down the pillowcase with no joy on his face, so he sighed again.

He said, "These are two male geese."

"What? How did you know?" Gu Yue raised it again.

"A long neck, a pointed tail, and a bulging forehead. It's a male goose." Gu Xu pointed to the small bump on the grey goose's head and the pointed tail feathers.

Gu Yue took a closer look and found that the two geese looked exactly the same.

"Could it be that I embroidered it wrong?" he muttered to himself.

Gu Xu... raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

Fortunately, after frowning and thinking for a while, Gu Yue looked at the pair of jade pendants with dragon carvings and finally realized it, and his face turned red.

"You told her?!" he asked in a low voice, horrified.

"She is very smart, no need for me to tell her." Gu Xu said.

I rely on!

Gu Yue felt that he could not face Yu Weishuang anymore.

Fortunately, they don’t have to meet each other, and they won’t be the father-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in the future!

"What's wrong? Why is Boss Gu's face so red?" Wu Feng came in from outside, covered in snow and feeling the cold.

"What's the matter?" Gu Xu changed the subject. He had no manners!

"Oh! All the gifts have been given." Wu Feng said, "Nothing unexpected happened."

Gu Yue felt a little guilty when he heard this. He really didn't know much about the local conditions of Northern Qin. In comparison, the gifts he carefully prepared for his friends might be a little ordinary. He himself had no ability at all!

A stack of 100 past life gossip memories for Zhen Suhang, a Western recipe for Qin Zhaole, a brief discussion on the Haixlao business model for Yu Weishuang...

But they are either rich or noble, and seem to have no lack of anything.

……

The New Year's gift ceremony ended happily.

On New Year's Eve, the palace began holding various activities to worship ancestors and heaven and earth in the morning. At noon, a banquet was held for all the ministers, and Gu Yue and the others also went to have a free meal - according to the rules, they had to go.

Gu Yue took the opportunity to propose at the banquet that he would return to Liuli Town after the New Year to sweep the graves and pay homage to his ancestors.

This was a benevolent and filial act. The emperor had no reason to refuse and had to praise him.

Gu Yue intended to have Gu Xu return to Yunxi to worship his parents, but considering that the Shen Wang and his wife were suspected of no crime, it would be a slap in the face of the emperor to say that they wanted to go back to worship their ancestors, so he gave up. Gu Xu was not in a hurry, and he put the overall situation first.

……

During the lunch break, the snow outside continued to snow. This year's top scholar and civil officials all wrote poems, most of which praised the beautiful scenery and prayed for a good harvest next year. Gu Yue couldn't understand what they were saying.

By the time the banquet was over, the snow outside had accumulated very thickly, and the boots made a crunching sound when they stepped on it.

When I got back to the mansion by carriage, it was already dark. Someone outside Luoyang City had set off firecrackers, and I could hear the crackling sound from afar. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets, and only the big red lanterns were flickering.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu walked in.

A snow path had been cleared in the yard, and two snowmen were piled against the wall, with arms made of branches and ink-spotted eyes.

"I'm freezing to death!" Gu Yue rushed into the hall of Jishiyuan. There was even a heating system dug under the house, which was burning hot. The little snowflakes on the head quickly melted into water droplets.

There were already many dishes on the two large round tables in the middle of the hall. Three of them were modern dishes that Gu Yue had researched, and the rest were ordered from restaurants outside. There were also many plates of hot dumplings, and the aroma and heat made Gu Yue's eyes sore.

"Are you all done?" Gu Xu took off his cloak and handed it to Wu Yan together with Gu Yue's.

"Everything is fine. Everything is OK." Wu Yan said.

"Leave some people behind at the gate." He said, "This is a special season, we can't let everyone go to celebrate the New Year, tell them."

"Yes." Wu Yan said, "Master, don't worry."

The hall of Jishiyuan was not small, and two tables could fit in. But there were too many of them, and one table could not accommodate them all.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was almost ready, and people started to gather in the house one after another.

Gu Yue said, "You all have been with Xiao Xu and I all the way. On paper, we are master and servant, but in reality, I have long regarded you as friends. It's still the same as before. There is no need to talk about what everyone's status is now. It's better for us to get together as a family and have a happy meal together."

He looked around at everyone and added, "May we live long and happily together."
