Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 10 Wow, whose gift is this?
The person she quietly pulled out from under the table was Gu Yan, the three-year-old daughter of the second branch of the Gu family in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Little Radish has a chubby feel and has dimples when she smiles, which is very cute. She is a clingy little girl who always likes to stick around.
Mu Qingli smiled and pinched her nose, his tone softening a little.
"Yan Yan, are you hiding here to scare me? You've been squatting here for how long, aren't you afraid of getting your clothes dirty?"
This little guy had scared her once in her previous life. He suddenly poked her waist when she wasn't paying attention, which scared her a lot.
Gu Yan didn't expect that she would be discovered. Her eyes suddenly widened and her head drooped.
"Sister Ali, are you well now? How did you know Yanyan was hiding here? I wanted to give you a surprise."
It's clearly a shock!
Mu Qingli nodded helplessly and brushed off the dust on her body. She looked around but didn't see the maid who usually followed her. Perhaps the banquet was too busy today and no one noticed that the child was missing.
"Why is Yanyan hiding here? She needs to change her clothes."
Cheng Qin turned her head and noticed that there was an extra child on her daughter's side. She came over and spoke to him with some surprise.
Mu Qingli also meant the same thing. After all, today was the Gu family's banquet, and it would not be good for the host family's child to get his clothes dirty in front of others.
She raised her hand and called to Qiu Jin, who was a few steps away. "Take Yanyan to find the people from the second house. If they see anyone with Yanyan, ask them to take them to change clothes."
Gu Yan shook her skirt and found it was dirty. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "Sister Ali, I'll go change my clothes and come back to play with you."
Mu Qingli agreed with a smile, and then saw several people slowly approaching the door.
The leader was a spirited old man with white hair and a youthful face who looked very kind. He was none other than the old master of the Gu family, Grand Tutor Gu, who had not been seen for a long time.
The old tutor of the Gu family was the teacher of the current emperor when he was the crown prince. The emperor respected him quite a bit, and the palace also sent him a gift of congratulations.
The old Grand Tutor has always been highly respected and well-informed. He has helped countless children from poor families on a daily basis. When he found talented people, he would do everything he could to recommend them to serve as officials in the court. He has an excellent reputation and his students are all over the world.
However, such a person angered the emperor because her father spoke out for injustice. The emperor was so angry that millions of people were killed. The Gu family was confiscated and the entire family was exiled. Even the old man died of illness during exile.
If Gu Luoheng had not supported the prince of the previous dynasty to ascend to the throne, the Gu family would have been wiped out.
But all of this originated from the emperor. If it weren't for his suspicion, how could his father and brother have died unjustly on the battlefield? And how could he have implicated the old Grand Tutor Gu and others?
When Mu Qingli thought of the things in her previous life, hatred surged in her heart. She let out a light breath and slowly calmed down.
There were still many people in the court who wanted to establish a good relationship with the old Grand Tutor Gu. The banquet was a great success for both the host and the guests. Gu Yan also stayed with Mu Qingli for a long time before leaving with the people from the second house.
Mu Qingli sat quietly waiting for the guests to leave one by one, occasionally glancing at a place with the corner of his eyes and then lowering his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes.
Looking at those people in the royal family, she was filled with resentment but had to suppress it forcibly. At present, she was still young and some things could not be revealed too early.
Fang Jiale was the eldest lady of the Gu family, so naturally she had to personally handle all the socializing and seeing off guests. She had to see off several waves of guests before she had time to come and see them.
Seeing his mother talking to Aunt Fang, Mu Qingli pulled his brother over to find Gu Luoheng, and when leaving the house, he secretly gave the birthday gift he had prepared to Gu Luoheng.
"I carved this myself as a birthday gift for you."
The jade used was finest blood jade, and she had drawn the pattern with her own hands. The carving skills she had learned in prison in her previous life also came in handy.
She thought he would like it.
Gu Luoheng subconsciously hid the box in his arms, and followed his mother excitedly to see Aunt Cheng and the others out of the house.
Before Cheng Qin left, she invited him to come to her house more often, and he nodded in agreement.
Only after seeing off the guests did he curiously take out the box from his arms and open it.
There was only a jade pendant in the exquisite jade box. The jade pendant, which was as big as a child's palm, was clearly carved with jade color to depict the unrestrained and unrestrained back of a man standing with a sword in the dusk. It was clearly what he would look like when he grew up.
Gu Luoheng widened his eyes in surprise and gently stroked the jade pendant. An uncontrollable smile appeared in his eyes, but his ears couldn't help but turn red.
As soon as Old Master Gu came over, he saw this scene. The old man stroked his white beard and smiled meaningfully, "Oh, whose gift is this? It's really thoughtful."
Gu Luoheng felt his ears burning, and he hurriedly hid the box and jade pendant behind him, then he opened his mouth and called out softly, "Grandfather."
Fang Jiale was very unkind. He smiled at his son's excitement and then exposed the truth.
"Who else but Ahri could make him like this?"
The old man had a kind face and smiled meaningfully, "Ah Heng will be growing up soon. I'm afraid that in a few years the betrothal gifts we have prepared long ago will be put to use."
Gu Luoheng's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but look away and shouted, "Grandfather!"
My grandfather has always been steady, so why did he learn to tease him like my mother?
Knowing that he looked cold but was actually very thin-skinned, the old man stopped teasing him and went back with a smile, stroking his beard.
But when he turned around, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he frowned slightly.
The little girl from the Mu family grew up under his care. She was apparently innocent and delicate, but today she seemed much quieter and even had a bit more hostility.
I hope he was mistaken...
After seeing his grandfather and the others leave, Gu Luoheng carefully tied the jade pendant around his waist. After taking two steps, he frowned again.
"Isn't this unsafe? What if you fall?"
He frowned and walked back and forth several times.
The servant who was cleaning the courtyard was sweeping the floor and would occasionally cast confused glances over.
What happened, young master? Did something fall?
The servant hesitated and stopped what he was doing. Should he go and help look for it himself? The young master was always generous, maybe he could even get some tips?
Just as the servant was about to come over to help, Gu Luoheng suddenly walked away.
This direction... is the warehouse?
The man peeked in and became even more confused, and followed curiously.
But he saw the young master took out the silk from the warehouse, braided it into a thin rope, strung the jade pendant in his hand together, and carefully tied a knot before hanging it around his neck.
Then he carefully hid it in his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
The servant who had been watching for a long time was confused as he watched his series of actions. After a while, an idea flashed through his mind.
Aren't these jade pendants usually worn on belts around the waist? Why is the young master wearing it around his neck? Is this the popular way to wear it now?
Those rich people really know how to have fun.
The servant shook his head and sighed as he walked away.
