Chapter 306 Gift


Chapter 306 Congratulatory Gift

Gu Xu’s first kiss just ended like this.

In the next period of time, he walked with Shi Xiaohan by the river for a while, bought some desserts and snacks that she liked, and listened to her eloquently talking about what she had seen in Longmen Academy recently. She heard that Hu Jiaoxi, the so-called "Invincible Sword God", had tortured her too much.

He smiled, listened silently, and chimed in from time to time.

Then, he boarded the carriage again and sent Shi Xiaohan back to the academy. He returned home, closed the door, took the elixir, and continued to concentrate on practicing.

The date for the "Luoshui Conference" is approaching day by day.

Gu Xu must seize the time and practice every second.

Only by winning the top spot can you get the "Astrolabe".

Although he currently doesn’t know what the “astrolabe” looks like or what its function is, there seems to be a voice in the depths of his mind that is constantly telling him——

“You have to get it.”

"It belongs to you."

At the same time, since Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan got engaged, people have been visiting him one after another to send him congratulatory gifts.

Luochuan, the head of the exorcism department, is a well-known tea drinker. He sent someone to bring a set of expensive tea sets to Gu Xu, as well as many precious tea leaves that have been collected for a long time. They have the ability to help people meditate, practice, and comprehend. The effect of Taoism.

Chu Fengge was extremely envious of this.

He has been coveting Master Sishou's tea for a long time, but he rarely has the opportunity to taste it.

Unexpectedly, that boy Gu Xu could not only taste the tea poured by the Master himself.

And if he gets engaged, he can get several boxes, which he needs to use a space magic weapon to specially deliver to his door.

So, after seeing this scene, in order to keep his Taoist heart pure, Chu Fengge had to lock himself into the retreat room of the Exorcist Department again and work hard to practice "The Sea of ​​Clouds and Galaxy Sword".

On behalf of the royal family, Princess Zhaoning, who was in charge of secular affairs, sent someone to deliver a box of ancient books to Gu Xu and precious jewelry to Shi Xiaohan in accordance with the usual custom of the Daqi Dynasty.

Gu Xu was originally happy when he saw the ancient books in the box, thinking that he had a chance to see some little-known spiritual knowledge or some hidden historical information.

But when he opened the book, he was disappointed to find that the things written in it seemed to be things he had read before and had already been stored in his mind.

This made him sigh silently: one should not have unrealistic hopes for things of an official nature from the royal family.

Chen Jisheng, who was far away in Yishui County, also sent Gu Xu a comb and a ruler as gifts.

The gift is not expensive, but it has a beautiful meaning.

The comb means knotting hair, symbolizing the couple growing old together; the ruler, as a measuring tool, represents measuring happiness and having hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren staying together for a long time.

The items were a bit old, and there were even tiny cracks on the ivory comb, but Gu Xu carefully collected them and stored them in "Xianyun Residence".

In addition, colleagues from the Exorcism Department, customers and employees of "Shuchangfang", nobles from Luojing City, and many monks who admire Gu Xu's reputation all sent him congratulatory gifts. .

For a time, Gu Xu’s mansion was bustling with people.

Gu Xu found it troublesome and did not want his practice to be disturbed again and again, so he spent a day using the "puppet manipulation" technique of Kongxuan Sanren to once again conduct a test on the servants on the mural. Improve it and let them entertain guests on your behalf.

When the guests first arrived, they all sighed that Mr. Gu knew how to enjoy life at such a young age. He actually hired so many servants in the mansion where he lived alone - janitors and cooks. , those who make tea, those who sweep the floor, those who repair plants and trees... everything is available.

And each one is trained to be obedient, neat and capable, as if they are acting under the command of the same brain.

When the guests were about to leave, they saw these servants returning to the murals one after another, and the mansion became silent again. The thoughts in their minds immediately changed one hundred and eighty times. The change in degree - "Master Gu is indeed a master of Talisman Tao recognized by the National Master," they all praised in their hearts, "these attainments in Talisman Tao, which are fake and real, are really proficient."

With the help of the "servants", Gu Xu can stay in the house with peace of mind and concentrate on practicing.

Until one day, when a familiar guest came to visit and gave him a gift, Gu Xu had to come out of the house and receive him personally.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, don't you welcome me here?" A woman's chuckle came from outside the door, and accompanied by the soft spring breeze, gently floated into the house.

"No." Gu Xu temporarily stopped practicing and walked towards the door.

"Then why don't you want to meet me in person, but send these puppets to send me away?"

"Sorry, fellow Taoist Shangguan," Gu Xu smiled and said politely, " I was so busy practicing that I forgot to entertain this distinguished guest of yours. I’m really sorry.”

The visitor is none other than Shangguan Jin, the exorcist doctor.

She was wearing a light green dress, with dark green silk combed into a snake bun, and an emerald hairpin on her head. She was holding a gift box, smiling gracefully, and standing tall.

The refreshing fragrance from the sachet on her waist was blown to Gu Xu by the spring breeze, lingering around him.

“Stop saying these polite words,” she smiled, with the corners of her eyes raised like willow leaves, “This is my engagement gift to you, accept it quickly.”

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Shangguan!" Gu Xu took the gift box from her hand.

In the Daqi Dynasty, it was very impolite to open a gift in person, so Gu Xu thought about it and put the box into "Xianyunju".

Shangguan Jin stared at his face quietly and said nothing for a long time.

There was no emotion at all on her beautiful face.

After a while, she sighed softly and said: "Gu Xu, actually I have something in my heart that I have wanted to tell you for a long time..."

This is Shangguan Jin called Gu Xu's name for the first time in front of him.

Gu Xu raised his head and looked at her seriously.

Their eyes collided, and then Shangguan Jin turned her head away from his eyes.

"Xiaohan is a good girl," after a pause, Shangguan Jin smiled faintly and continued, "You must treat her well in the future and don't do anything that can't be done to her. If you bully her in the future, , I'm here to fight for her."

"How could I bully her?" Gu Xu said with a smile.

What made him feel a little strange was that Shangguan Jin hesitated for so long and what he said "from the bottom of his heart" turned out to be such a joke.

Is there something she hasn’t said yet?

But Gu Xu didn't ask any more questions.

This woman is too unfathomable. He could never understand her thoughts.

"Well, in that case, I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together!" Shangguan Jin gracefully threw out a blessing, then turned and left, and quickly used his skills to disappear at the end of the street.

It disappears like clouds and smoke, leaving no trace behind.

Gu Xu stood on the steps outside the door, watching her leaving back, wondering why she ran so fast, and whether there was something urgent in the exorcism department's office.
