Chapter 8
The Cai family hadn't fully recovered from the amazement that they spent a lot of money on a meal, but they were stumped by a new question, which was what gift to give Gu Xiucai.
Since ancient times, gift giving has always been a matter of great learning. If it is not given properly, it may backfire.
If it is a person who is in normal contact with, it will not be difficult for the Cai family. When we get along on a daily basis, we will have a general standard, and we know what to send and what to give. But now the person I want to send is different from the people I'm used to contacting, so it's a bit embarrassing.
However, this person is a savior, so he must not be sloppy at all. How to match what one likes has become a big problem. The ancestors of the Cai family were all rough people who could not read a few big characters. They had never dealt with scholars before, so they were really stumped at the moment.
After Gu Huaijin rescued Cai Xiaoman last time, she also fell seriously ill at home and drank soup and medicine for several days. The Cai family originally thought about paying the medical expenses. After all, it was due to their family Xiaoman, which is what they should be.
Unexpectedly, they not only confiscated, but also returned all the gifts they sent, so to speak, they also took a few worthless pastries. They even got a little angry later on, as if they were looking down on their orphans and widows by giving gifts. They couldn't understand what the widowed mother Xia said, which confused Gao and Qin who gave the gift. Why did the gift give a problem?
They couldn't figure it out, so they asked the old man in the alley. They say that scholars have a good reputation, and it is a righteous thing to sacrifice oneself to save others, but if you accept gifts, you will be inferior.
Until now they don't understand why this is so. It's not that they are asking for a favor, but they are grateful, so why can't they accept it?
"If you want me to say that this time is the same as last time, just throw the chicken and duck in!" Cai Dajiang said carelessly.
Gu Xiucai's mother and son refused to accept gifts at all, which made the Cai family very worried. At that time, Cai Xiaoman was unconscious again, and his heart was even more chaotic. I even felt that they didn't show anything to their benefactors. God thought that the Cai family was not kind, so Xiaoman couldn't wake up.
When people are in a panic, it is easy to think about something. There are also those who don't know the inside story or deliberately disgust them, saying that they don't know how to be grateful, and they don't show any signs of illness when others save you. What? If you don't accept the gift, it must be too light a gift! In order to save you, a silly girl, a scholar got sick and was dismissed at will. Isn't that insulting! Of course this gift cannot be accepted.
At that time, the Cai family was in a mess. Xiaoman couldn't wake up here, and the benefactor there was inexplicably cold to them, and it was rumored that they were not kind. It was difficult for the family at that time.
"How can this be done? We couldn't do anything before, but now that Xiaoman is well, we have to think about it." Qin gave him an annoyed look, feeling that his man was really missing a string.
The Gu family boy is a scholar at such a young age, and he will definitely be capable in the future. Now that I have the opportunity to get in touch with the other party, if I don't hurry up, I will pass this village, and there will be no such shop!
Qin's thought was far-reaching, Cai Xiaohu was about to be sent to school, wouldn't his children also have to be sent in the future? Of course, she hopes that her child will have a great future. What does it mean to have a great future? That must be studying and becoming an official.
But this road is not easy to walk, if no one leads it, it will be like climbing to the sky. They don't know a single word, so they can't lead their children into this way. But it would be different if she got on the line with Gu Xiucai. Although it was still far away and she was not pregnant yet, she would not panic when she was ready.
Anyway, if it¡¯s not for this, I have to deal with the mother and son, more plans would be better.
Cai Dajiang also knew it was inappropriate, and he had no choice before, so he did this, scratching his head and said: "But people don't accept it."
"So this is not a discussion, it must be because the gifts we gave are not satisfactory. Gu Xiu is a scholar, unlike us, so she will not accept these ordinary gifts." Qin said, scholars are also human beings, she I don't believe there are people in this world who don't accept gifts.
Those who are officials are not all scholars, and I have not seen them being soft-hearted. A while ago, there were corrupt officials who were beheaded at Caishikou, so they put away their etiquette more ruthlessly than anyone else.
Cai Laogen tapped his burnt pipe on the ground: "Now that Xiaoman is awake, I heard that Gu Xiucai is well. It would be more polite for her to thank her in person."
"But what kind of gift is it?" Gao asked worriedly, and brought the topic back.
Cai Xiaoman saw everyone's confused faces, and said: "The most common thing for scholars is pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Isn't elder brother making paper? Why don't you just send paper? It's what he likes, and it's made by elder brother himself. It¡¯s all about the heart.¡±
""What are you talking about, Gu Xiucai saved the life of our third girl! Even if the family goes bankrupt, that's what it should be. "
"What are you yelling at me, and I didn't say no." Gao Shi was also anxious when he heard this. Although he was really unhappy in his heart, it was even more unpleasant to be said so.
Cai Xiaoman and the two were about to quarrel, so he quickly said, "Father, we don't understand such things as brushes and inkstones, which are different from paper. Those scholars have their own preferences, and if they don't like them, they will feel uncomfortable. If we give them It¡¯s not beautiful if you don¡¯t like it. Paper feeding is because you do it yourself, it has a different meaning, and you don¡¯t pay much attention to it.¡±
Although it is a little ungrateful to think so, if the family is really struggling, you have to do what you can to be grateful. Furthermore, if you really have the heart, it is not like thanking you once and then forgetting about it. If you feel that you have not done enough now, there will be future.
"Isn't it? Gu Xiucai didn't accept all the gifts, and we can't give them away randomly. Wouldn't it be even worse if he didn't like it at the time, so he didn't accept them all." Gao borrowed the donkey from the slope.
Cai Laogen snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"Don't care what I think, that's the reason." Gao Shi was not to be outdone, she was just stingy, if she hadn't spent every penny in two and a half these years, she would have eaten and drank like yesterday, and the whole family would have a good morning. It's time for dinner.
"Then we will just deliver the paper?" Cai Xiaoxue, who had been silent all this time, saw that her father was about to get angry again, so she quickly brought back the topic.
Everyone was silent for a while, and it was the same as the beginning, not knowing what to do.
Cai Xiaoman thought for a while and said, "People like Gu Xiucai pay more attention to their intentions. He saved me. Wouldn't it be more beautiful if I personally do something and send it over? He didn't fall into the water before and catch a cold. He should be very weak now. , I¡¯ll make some big tonic soup and some snacks for him, what do you think?¡±
Now, the room is even quieter.
"Well, how do we usually give gifts? Let's just take one." Cai Laogen gave a fake cough, and looked away.
"I think it's done, just follow our usual rules. Before, it was because Xiaoman was unconscious, so it was difficult for them to accept gifts, but now it's different." Gao's expression was very serious.
Others echoed one after another, and directly skipped Cai Xiaoman's words.
Seeing that Jia didn't trust him at all, Cai Xiaoman became anxious immediately: "Father, mother, I"
Cai Laogen patted her on the shoulder, interrupted her, and said earnestly: "My child, we are here to give a thank you gift, not to make a vendetta." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
