In the morning, when Gu Zhao went to pay his respects to Old Madam Gu, he saw Gu Zhu sitting in the room with a rosy face and a smile on her face.

"Meet Grandmother, Madam."

Seeing Gu Zhao saluting, Gu Zhu called out with a smile.

"Zhao'er, get up quickly. Your father came back late yesterday and didn't say much to you. He specially asked me, your mother, to bring you a gift..."

Gu Zhao looked at the things held in the hands of the maids not far away.

There were silver hairpins, silver hairpins, silver earrings, some head flowers, some other things made of wood, a few pieces of cloth, and some jade jewelry of average quality.

Are these things what Gu's father brought back from Jiangnan?

Aren’t these the things in Gu Zhu’s warehouse?

These things have been kept for probably ten or eight years. As for the head flowers and velvet flowers, they were probably bought on the roadside in Beijing for about ten or twenty coins each.

Many maids in the mansion wear this thing on their heads.

Seeing that Gu Zhao didn't say anything, Gu Zhu smiled and said.

"Mother, I haven't let Rong'er and Qing'er choose these things yet. Zhao'er is the eldest sister, so let her choose first."

Old Madam Gu looked at the pile of junk, holding the Buddhist beads in her hand, with an angry look on her face.

This Zhu is really not up to par at all. As expected, the children of the second wife are not as good as the children of the original wife.

But she didn't say this out loud.

"Madam, you can give these things to your sister and brother. I have the things that my grandmother and second aunt gave me."

Hearing Gu Zhao's refusal, Gu Zhu looked disapproving.

"Zhao'er, this is a token of your father's love."

Gu Zhu brought these things on purpose. If Gu Zhao accepted them, she would be humiliating him. If Gu Zhao did not accept them, he would be unfilial.

Yesterday, the master agreed to let Gu Zhao change the marriage. And he also said that it was Gu Zhao's own fault. The master was most afraid that Gu Zhao would affect his career. Thinking of this, Gu Zhu was very happy.

"Since Zhao'er is so modest, you should take the things back, Zhu." Old Madam Gu felt that her eldest son was too much towards her granddaughter. She had to have a good talk with her eldest son. Otherwise, the relationship between father and daughter would be even worse in the future.

Hearing that Gu Zhao refused to accept them, her mother-in-law asked her to take the things back. Gu Zhu happily agreed. Now, she could tell the master that Gu Zhao was unwilling to accept these things.

After paying his respects, Gu Zhao returned to his own courtyard.

She went to the kitchen, which was filled with all kinds of fresh vegetables, as well as grains, oils, rice and noodles.

"Miss, what would you like to eat for lunch today?"

Hearing the cook's words, Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"Cook your specialty." This cook was sent from my grandmother's hospital and was also my grandmother's confidant.

Gu Zhao is now waiting for someone to come from his grandfather's side.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

"Miss, thank you for coming."

After hearing Cuihua's report, Gu Zhao immediately asked her to bring the person in.

"My humble servant has met my cousin."

After Xie Da entered the room, he knelt down on the ground.

"Uncle Xie, please stand up quickly."

Xie Da is the manager of the Xie family in the capital, and is usually responsible for some of the Xie family's affairs in the capital.

"Miss cousin, you have suffered, I am wrong..."

Xie Da knelt on the ground, his face full of self-blame.

He was usually in charge of the Xie family's bookstore and several other shops in the capital. He had sent messages to the Gu Mansion several times before, wanting to go into the mansion to meet his cousin, but the Gu Mansion always said that the eldest lady didn't want to see him.
