Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

The gift was packed in a golden nanmu wood box, which was never opened.

No matter what kind of gift is in the box, the golden silk nanmu wood box alone is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Gu Jiu frowned slightly, and first opened the gift list.

There is a large blank on the gift list, only the two characters Zhou Jin in the dragon and phoenix dance.

What's the meaning?

Do you show your sense of existence in a unique way?

Gu Jiu asked Ma Xiaoliu, Who gave the gift?

It's a steward.

What did you say?

It is said that this gift was specially ordered by their son, and it was sent from the south. To congratulate Madam on a prosperous Chinese New Year.

Gu Jiu smiled, Did you say anything else?

The steward said that their son-in-law is very busy recently, and he can't come to the capital. When the spring of 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 very happy to cooperate with his wife, and hopes that the cooperation between the two can be maintained for a long time. down.

Gu Jiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

She sent people to Jiangnan just to be a sea trader.

But the sea trade is not so easy to do.

For the time being, her people haven't had a chance to go to sea yet.

But the cooperation with Zhou Jin has already begun.

Zhou Jin's ability in the south is not small. No matter what Gu Jiu wanted, he could supply it at a fair price.

Zhenbaozhai's jewelry has obviously improved to a higher level, which is due to Zhou Jin's blessing.

Zhou Jin held a large amount of jewelry in his hands, which were brought back from overseas by sea trade all the year round.

Jewelry is something that must be sold with reluctance, and must not be sold. Selling is worthless.

After many years of reluctance to sell, Zhou Jin has a large inventory of jewelry with high quality.

For these jewels, Gu Jiu couldn't refuse to cooperate with Zhou Jin.

It's just the gift in front of me, what does it mean?

Qingmei asked, Don't Madam open it and take a look?

Gu Jiu hummed,

When he opened the golden nanmu box, a one-foot-high, half-foot-wide jade carving appeared in front of Gu Jiu.

Purple Jade Grape, Topaz Corn Pumpkin, Emerald Branches and Leaves, Ruby Fruit...

Crystal clear, the water color is absolutely superior.

What's more precious is that the jade of several colors grows together perfectly, which is simply a miracle.

Only nature can create such amazing natural jade.

Gu Jiu clearly heard the exclamations of the servants.

Even though he is in the royal family and has a lot of knowledge, this jade carving in front of him still refreshes everyone's cognition.

It turned out to be a whole, it's amazing.

Who would have thought that several colors of high-quality jade would grow together. And it was mined and carved into the present shape according to the shape and color.

This jade carving, Gu Jiu had to admit, was too precious. I'm afraid it's a rare occurrence in a century.

It is no exaggeration to say that this jade carving is a rare treasure in the world.

It is precious because it is rare.

Gu Jiu's breathing was heavy, without the slightest joy.

Zhou Jin gave her such an expensive gift for no reason. What does it mean?

Gu Jiu put the jade carving into the box and asked Ma Xiaoliu, Is the steward still there? Call him, and Mrs. Ben has something to ask him.

Ma Xiaoliu led the way.

Not long after, a sturdy middle-aged man with a goatee, dark complexion, and body was ushered into the side hall.

Gu Jiu looked at the other party from head to toe and asked, Are you the steward under Zhou Jin?

Reporting to Madam, Huan, the grassman, Zhou Gongzi is the master of the villain.

Gu Jiu nodded, It turned out to be Steward Hu. Do you know what the gift you brought?

Juan shook his head, Little I don't know. Little was just ordered to give gifts to Mrs.

Gu Jiu smiled, Besides asking you to give gifts, didn't Zhou Jin explain anything else?

Juan shook his head again, My son is not in the capital at the moment, so I can't explain it.

Where is your son now?

I don't know if it is small, it may be in the south, it may be in the west, or it may be in the north.

Dare to love is to run around the world.

Gu Jiu nodded to Qingmei, who opened the golden nanmu box, Take a look at Mr. Hu, this is your gift.

Hu An glanced into the box and was surprised.

Gu Jiu said, You don't need to tell Mrs. Ben how precious the gift is. You can't ask for such a precious gift, so you can take it back.

thump!

Juan knelt directly on the ground, Please make sure to accept the gift. If the son knows that the villain has not completed the task, the villain must not die.

Gu Jiu frowned, If this lady doesn't accept the gift, you will have to die? Could Zhou Jin still kill you for a trivial matter?

What is killing? If it is just killing, he is not afraid at all.

The way his son cleans up is enough to stop Xiaoer from crying at night.

Thinking of the fate of the old man who fell into the hands of the young master, Juan shivered subconsciously.

He simply kowtowed to Gu Jiu, I beg Madam to take it back, the villain is grateful.

Gu Jiu was dissatisfied, Zhou Jin has such a big temper. If Mrs. Ben doesn't accept the gift, he will kill you.

It's the villain who didn't do the errand that the son explained, it's none of the son's business.

Gu Jiu observed each other and found that Hu An was really scared, not acting.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jin looks gentle and harmless, like a son of an aristocratic family, but he treats his subordinates so ruthlessly.

Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, and said, I will accept the gift for now. When Zhou Jin arrives in the capital, he will send someone to inform him. Mrs. Ben will return such a precious gift to him in person.

Juan was stunned for a moment, Are you really not going to accept the gift, Madam?

Gu Jiu said with a blank face: This is such a precious gift, and this wife and Zhou Jin have no relatives and no reason to accept it. What is the reason for accepting it? Even if it is relatives, it is impossible to send precious gifts to each other. , and the desire is great.”

Hu An lowered his head, thinking in his heart: Madam is keen, my son really wants a lot. What he is asking for is not wealth or fame, but you are what he is asking for.

However, it is impossible for him to say these words to death.

He kowtowed and thanked him, Thank you, Madam, for your understanding. When the next spring begins, when my son arrives in the capital, the villain will report as soon as possible.

Gu Jiu hummed.

Little man retire.

Gu Jiu stared at the golden nanmu box, frowning.

What should she do with such a precious gift?

Ma'am, do you want to put things away?

Put it away and put it in the warehouse.

What's in the storeroom?

Liu Zhao came back early today.

With the chill of wind and snow, he walked into the side hall, and at a glance he saw the golden silk nanmu box on the table.

In the royal family, I dare not say how powerful other skills are, and I still have the eyesight to identify and appreciate treasures.

Golden nanmu?

Still such a big box.

I don't remember such a box in the house.

Gu Jiu sighed secretly, It was sent by someone else.

Liu Zhao stepped forward, and when he saw the jade carvings in the box, his brows instantly wrinkled.

Who brought it? But someone asked to do something?

Immediately afterwards, he saw the gift list on the table again, and he picked it up and opened it.

A very personal gift list, because only one name is left.

Zhou Jin!

The name spit out from Liu Zhao's mouth, making people feel a chill inexplicably.

Who is this? Why are you giving gifts?

His self-consciousness told him that this Zhou Jin was not a good person.

No one gave such a precious gift for no reason.

Please do things, it shouldn't be like this.

A gift list with only one name is not the attitude you should have when asking for help.

Gu Jiu said lightly, A maritime businessman, born in the Zhou family in Huaian, is a relative from the Zhou family in Chuzhou. I have met him twice before, and we have some business dealings. This time he sent his steward 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 the manager 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 frowned, his heart was full of fire. He didn't know how the anger came from.

Anyway, a strange man gave such a precious gift to his own wife, he was just upset.

He asked straight to the point, How old is this Zhou Jin?

Gu Jiu thought for a while, and said casually, I'm about the same age as you in my early twenties.

so young?

Liu Zhao gritted his back molars, even more unhappy.

How does it look?

Not as good as you.

After speaking, Gu Jiu gave Liu Zhao a blank look, What are you thinking about again?

Liu Zhao snorted, A businessman, who gave you such an expensive gift, shouldn't you think about it too much?

Hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed, Looking at you, people who don't know you think you're jealous.

Liu Zhao wanted to say that he was so jealous that he was about to die of acid.

Thinking of his grandson, he never gave Xiaojiu such an expensive gift.

A businessman, still a good-looking young businessman, dared to give Xiaojiu such an expensive gift, how could he not think about it?

snort!

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 snorted twice, Don't worry, this young master will not kill him.

How dare a businessman give such a precious gift to his own wife?

Gift giving is also very particular.

Not all gifts have to be precious.

Liu Zhao doesn't believe in the sense of proportions here. A businessman who travels from south to north will not understand.

Since you know how to measure, why do you have to do things without measure?

Liu Zhao was worried about Gu Jiu's safety.

I was worried that this person named Zhou Jin would have other plans that would be detrimental to Gu Jiu.

Therefore, when Zhou Jin arrives in the capital, he must personally examine it.

Gu Jiu ordered the gift box to be placed in the warehouse and locked.

As soon as the next person left, Liu Zhao pestered her, In the future, the business affairs will be handed over to the people below. You don't have to show your face.

Gu Jiu laughed, Are you afraid I'll run away? Don't worry, I rarely show up. They all told Bai Zhong, Lao Deng and the others to do it.

Liu Zhao hugged her tightly, When you go out, remember to cover your face.

Gu Jiu glanced at him with disgust, As for what?

As for.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, When I go out, I always call back and forth. Who do you think can approach me without permission? You are just thinking wildly and thinking too much.

Liu Zhao refused to admit that he thought too much.

Men are also conscious, okay?

He realized that this person named Zhou Jin was not a good thing, and his intentions were wrong.

Of course, he wouldn't just talk nonsense without evidence.

In the past, he tried not to interfere with Gu Jiu's business, allowing Gu Jiu to develop freely and grow wildly.

But now, he has made a decision, he needs to take care of the people in the business field for Gu Jiu.

I have to ask Qian Fu to do this.

Zhou Jin's gift did not make much waves.

It was quickly forgotten.

...

As soon as the wind and snow stopped, and the sun continued for a few days, the weather was finally not that cold.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Gu Mei invited the sisters to the Daihou Mansion to enjoy flowers and drink.

In the back garden of Daihou Mansion, a plum blossom was planted.

Plum blossoms are in full bloom, which is a good time to enjoy flowers.

The venue for the banquet was set in the flower hall beside the plum blossoms.

The flower hall is inlaid with glazed windows, so you can enjoy the flowers without worrying about freezing.

Gu Jiu came to Daihou Mansion with a gift.

The carriage came to a stop at the second gate.

Gu Jiu got off the carriage.

Gu Mei greeted her in person, Sister Xiaojiu, you are a rare visitor.

Sister Mei is making fun of me again. How is Sister Mei?

Gu Mei is pregnant again, and it has been three months since it was announced to the public some time ago.

Gu Mei took her hand, Sister Xiaojiu, take a look for me.

Gu Jiu readily agreed and reached out to check the pulse.

The pulse is steady and powerful.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Sister Mei is in good health.

Gu Mei laughed, I'm relieved to hear about Sister Xiaojiu.

She glanced at Gu Jiu's abdomen and asked in a low voice, Are you still 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 your son have been married for two years, so you should be anxious. You haven't moved, and the princess didn't say anything?

Gu Jiu whispered to her, Some time ago, it was because of this that my fourth siblings finally gave birth to the child. Now the princess is very quiet.

Gu Mei snorted, I heard about this too, but I didn't know that Xiao Qin'er had a miscarriage. No wonder the Young Master Council was beaten by the Xiao family with a sap.

Hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed, Sister Mei also knows that the Xiao family hit Liu Yi with a sap?

Several times throughout the capital, except for the Xiao family, who would dare to slap the grandson's sap. There are discussions outside. The two families have made such a fuss over 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 would not take a concubine within a year.

Really? Gu Mei was astonished as if she heard the big gossip.

Gu Jiu nodded, This is absolutely true.

Gu Mei said, The Xiao family is capable.

It's not that the Xiao family is capable, but Concubine Xiao Shu is dissatisfied with Liu Yi, and my concubine has to give in.

Otherwise, with Pei's temper, how could he sit down and negotiate with Mrs. Xiao patiently.

Concubine Xiao Shu's face, Pei's would give it no matter what.

Xiao Qiner had a miscarriage, so she had to give an explanation anyway.

Within a year, Liu Yi will not be allowed to take a concubine. This is an explanation to Concubine Xiao Shu and an explanation to Xiao Qin'er.

Even though Xiao Qin'er was full of grievances and dissatisfaction, she could only knock down her teeth and swallow blood.

The reality is so cold.

Gu Mei said: I thought our house was messy enough. In the end, compared with your palace, it's nothing.

Gu Jiu asked, But Aunt Qu embarrassed you?

Gu Mei gritted her teeth and said, Ever since I became pregnant, my old lady has been thinking about taking a concubine for the prince, a good concubine.

There is a big difference between a concubine and a concubine.

A good concubine is equivalent to a side room, a partial room. Although the children born are also concubines, their status is much higher than the children born by concubines.

And once the principal dies, the concubine will have the opportunity to help him.

Such as Xie Shi.

Back then, Mrs. Xie married Mr. Gu as a concubine.

When Gu Jiu's biological mother Su Shi died, Xie Mao won the favor of Prince Renxuan again, and Master Gu took the opportunity to straighten Xie Shi.

If Mrs. Xie was a concubine or a lowly concubine, she was absolutely not qualified to be righteous.

Gu Jiu looked at Gu Mei worriedly, Sister Mei, what are you going to do?

Gu Mei smiled and said, Don't worry about me. They want to take a concubine for the prince on the grounds that I am pregnant. I can also stop taking a concubine on the grounds that I am pregnant.

After a pause, she said again, The prince can have a concubine, but he must never have a concubine.

This is Gu Mei's bottom line.

The child born by a concubine has the opportunity to compete with the eldest son.

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 did not expect that Gu Mei would accept that Han Shizi had a auntie.

Gu Mei smiled, her face calm.

She said to Gu Jiu: Sister Xiao Jiu, when you have children, you will find that men are the same thing. As long as you have children around, you will always see children in your heart, and men will become superfluous. Things, at most, I use it when I 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. Man, that's the same thing, what to do is to take care of your heart, you have to live or die, and you feel wronged.

Once she thought about it, Gu Mei felt that the world was so wide, and even the air seemed to be scented.

Gu Jiu felt sad.

Back then, Gu Mei and Han Shizi were also in love with each other.

In just a few years, the feelings have been wiped out.

Life is a fucking shit.
