Chapter 246: repay with a lifetime
Chapter 246 Repay with a lifetime
Chu Nanzhi watched him go out and re-entered not long after, this time holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand.
The box is indeed exquisite and beautiful, even more beautiful than the gold and silver box in the Shen family last time.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help asking curiously: "What's in it?"
"You will know it when you see it."
Lin Jinxiao put down his crutches, sat down, and pushed the wooden box in front of her.
I don’t know what is inlaid on the surface of this wooden box. Before it is opened, under the dim light, the surroundings of the box are already shining.
Sibao first stretched out his hand to gently stroke the box, raised his head slightly to look at Chu Nanzhi, and praised in a crisp voice: "Mother, this box is so beautiful."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi nodded, lowered her eyebrows and glanced lightly at Lin Jinxiao in front of her, and tried to open the box. Immediately, a pair of emerald green cups came into view, emitting a dazzling green light. The patterns of rabbits and plants carved on the cups were crystal clear. Clear and clearly visible.
It is really beautiful and tight.
Lin Jinxiao explained unhurriedly: "The pair of glazed long cups are spoils of war seized from Dongsang people. They are special long cups used by the Dongsang royal family for banquets. They were originally intended to be dedicated to Kang Mingyuan. I think they are quite unique. , bring it back for you to drink."
"This is probably priceless."
Hearing that it was exclusively for the royal family, Chu Nanzhi looked terrified: "Lin Dalang, why did you give me such a valuable thing?"
And still the cup.
This little boy will do what he likes. Knowing that he doesn't like rouge jewelry, he only picks what he needs.
Lin Jinxiao slowly pursed the corners of his lips, and replied with a half-smile, "Just take it as your thank you for taking care of me for so long."
"Cough, we are husband and wife, shouldn't it be our duty to take care of you, why are you so polite."
Chu Nanzhi uttered this sentence with some embarrassment.
After all, he can’t tell him that he is a lonely ghost floating from another world. It doesn’t matter whether he believes it or not, the key will scare the child.
Lin Jinxiao was very happy when he heard that, staring at the pair of glass cups, he said comfortingly: "Well, yes, we are husband and wife, and we will always be husband and wife in this life."
I really didn't expect that she could muster up the courage to speak her mind.
It was hard for her, and after half a month of coercion, she finally spoke her mind.
Now that she has talked to this point, I can't let her down anymore.
The matter about He Li was just an angry remark at the beginning. It is not easy for her to take back what she said as a woman. After thinking about it, she is the only one who bears everything.
He turned around, tightly grasped Chu Nanzhi's hand, and said sincerely: "My lady, you have served me wholeheartedly for more than a month, and then let me spend my whole life to repay you well."
Listening to this inexplicable words, and looking at the grotesque eyes of the little white face, Chu Nanzhi subconsciously withdrew her hand:
Didn’t this guy start to attack himself again?
I also blame myself for being confused, just find a reason to prevaricate, and let him break up the relationship between husband and wife if there is nothing to do.
Staring at the little Sibao next to her, she couldn't say it clearly, so she had to hint vaguely: "Lin Dalang, are your legs getting better soon?"
"Oh, it should."
Lin Jinxiao was about to say something quickly, but he changed his words immediately: "It should be early, I touched my muscles and bones when I got off the horse yesterday, and I have a dull pain several times today, and I'm afraid it will take another two or three months to recover .”
Sibao's face turned black with fright, put down the glass cup he just took out, and hurriedly begged Chu Nanzhi: "Mother, can you help Father take a look?"
Chu Nanzhi leaned over suspiciously, and lifted his injured leg. Although the knife wound had stuttered, after yesterday's cramping pain, the surrounding area was still slightly red and swollen.
I'm afraid that the trauma of the inner muscles and bones will take some time to recuperate.
Although it is not as exaggerated as he said to recover, it is still within my previous expectation that it will take about a month.
She went to get some licorice water and ointment, and after cleaning the wounds on both legs, she put on the ointment again, and patiently advised: "In the future, try to use crutches as much as possible, and don't be in a hurry when you return to Luyan Port and take office. When dealing with government affairs, the most important thing at the moment is to heal the wounded."
"Well, I listen to the lady."
Lin Jinxiao replied obediently.
Looking at this warm scene, Little Sibao's gloomy little face immediately became cheerful again. He raised his eyes to look at Lin Jinxiao, and said cheerfully, "Father, do your legs still hurt now?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Lin Jinxiao touched Sibao's cheek, and felt that the little guy was much rounder than before, and looked radiant, all of which could not be separated from Chu Nanzhi's contribution.
He looked gratefully at Chu Nanzhi who was packing up the medicine, and said kindly: "Little treasures are much more well-behaved now than before."
"Well, when I got back to Luyan Port, I found a shop earlier and decorated the room so that a few little treasures could follow the elders to class."
Chu Nanzhi said, put the ointment into the package, and came to clean up the glass cups on the table.
Looking at the crystal clear and precious cup in front of me, I don’t know if my hands will shake when I drink it.
First it was a salt shaker made by a famous master, and now it is a glazed long cup of the Dongsang royal family. If this continues, I will become an antique collector.
Seeing that she was holding the wooden box and cherishing it so much, Lin Jinxiao felt more and more happy. He never thought that she would cherish the gift he gave her so much.
It is true that she is a bit strange now. She doesn't like rouge jewelry, but prefers these utensils. She is really different from ordinary people.
Thinking about the quadruplets studying again, he couldn't help but said: "The two elders don't like to deal with the clansmen, it would definitely be inappropriate to let them go to the old house to teach the little treasures, it's better to go to the backyard of the county government. "
"talk later."
Chu Nanzhi said briefly.
Even she herself hadn't decided whether to follow Lin Jinxiao to live in the county government office, so naturally she couldn't arrange for the elders, after all, she had promised the elders to cook for them.
After putting away the wooden box, she walked back to the father and daughter, and ordered in a soft voice: "When I came back from Sunjia Village, I took a few fish. You take the four treasures to rest in the house, and I will go to the kitchen of the post house." Let me make some fish soup for you."
It's really intentional, and he has to bring fish back for his husband to make fish soup himself after traveling so far, Lin Jinxiao nodded movedly: "Go."
Chu Nanzhi went out to take the fish basket and was going to the back kitchen of the post house, but the little Sibao followed out loudly, and said happily, "Aniang, I will go with you."
"okay."
Chu Nanzhi took the little guy to the kitchen.
In the small bamboo basket, there are two carp, two totoaba, and five crucian carp.
She killed all the crucian carp, and the rest of the kitchen servants asked for a big wooden basin to raise them. Thinking about leaving tomorrow, she planned to call Hu Maoxi, Peng Pai and others to come over at night, and personally cook a few dishes for everyone to celebrate Congratulations, this trip to Haikang County has been completed.
