Chapter 172: The extravagant gift list

The carriage drove directly into the front yard, and Zhang Ze and Liu Zhuangtou unloaded the things on the carriage together.

Gu Zhang came out quickly and was stunned by the pile of things on the ground: “This – Master Su is too polite.”

Zhang Ze smiled: “My young master said that he was very grateful for the care of Second Master Gu’s family along the way. This little thing is just a small token of appreciation.”

Gu Zhang hurriedly said: “Brother Zhang, go into the house and have some tea.”

Zhang Ze waved his hand: “I won’t go in. Uncle Gu will say hello to Aunt Chen for me.”

“By the way, my young master said that there is no need to return the gift. After the New Year, when his leg injury is healed, he will come to visit Uncle Gu.”

Gu Zhang was anxious. How could he not return the gift?

“I wonder where Young Master Su’s house is?”

Zhang Ze smiled: “Master is living in his uncle’s house now, which is not very convenient.”

Before coming, his young master told him not to reveal his identity, so as not to make Uncle Gu’s family uncomfortable.

Gu Zhang didn’t ask for the place and dragged Zhang Ze into the house to drink tea.

He whispered to Gu Qing and asked him to find Gu Fei to see if he could find something to give back to Young Master Su so that Zhang Ze could take it back.

When Gu Qing found Gu Fei, Gu Fei got anxious, closed the door, and searched in the space for a long time.

Watermelon?

They exist in this era, but not in this season, and ordinary people can’t eat them. The Marquis’ Mansion only eats it once.

Apples were not okay either, there were none here, and she planned to keep apples to grow later.

She didn’t want to get into any trouble because of the things in the space anymore.

Finally, her eyes fell on a cardboard box in the space, with three big characters on the outside, Five Grain Liquor.

After opening the cardboard box, she took it out and saw that it was in a glass bottle, which was not okay.

Gu Fei searched for a while, then remembered that she had drunk plum wine for 18 yuan a bottle before. The bottle was made of porcelain. There were two bottles, one pink and one green, with a plum blossom painted on it. She thought it was fun, so she took it home.

After searching for a while, she finally found the two bottles.

Gu Fei took great pains to open the Five Grain Liquor and poured it into the two plum blossom bottles.

Zhang Ze was drinking tea in the main room. Suddenly, he smelled a scent of wine and couldn’t help sniffing: “What kind of wine is this? It smells so good.”

Gu Zhang thought his daughter was tinkering with something, so he didn’t say anything.

After a while, Gu Fei came out with two bottles and said with a smile: “Brother Zhang, this is some good wine that my father accidentally got in his early years. Please bring it to Young Master Su to taste.”

Zhang Ze took it after hesitating for a moment. The wine was too fragrant.

Besides, this wine was brought out by Miss Gu Fei herself, his young master will be very happy to receive it.

Zhang Ze smiled: “Then I thank the young lady on behalf of my young master.”

“I’ll take my leave and come back to bother Uncle Gu another day.”

Gu Zhang sent Zhang Ze out the door and watched the carriage go away before turning back.

It was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Erlang and Gu Sanlang haven’t gone out to pull the carriage these days. They were squatting in the yard, looking at the New Year gifts sent by Young Master Su.

Gu Sanlang looked through it for a while and shouted: “Here is the gift list.”

Gu Fei took it, and the rich families all have gift lists when giving gifts.

She looked at the piece of red paper sprinkled with gold, then read what was written: “1 deer, 1 roe deer, a pair of rabbits, a pair of suckling pigs, a pair of pheasants, a pair of swans, 8 cured chickens, 8 smoked ducks, 8 cured fish, 8 pieces of cured meat, 10 catties of green glutinous rice, 10 catties of purple rice, 20 catties of black rice, and 20 catties of fragrant rice.”
