Chapter 179 Reward

The brocade box was opened, and inside were two one-foot long, sky-blue jade vases. The two bottles were the same size, without any flaws. The bottles were covered with fine ice cracks, with a warm luster, and the texture was almost comparable to the best jade.

Zhang Ze changed a wine bottle and came in. When he saw the bottle on the table, he was amazed, "My goodness, they really sent a Ru kiln bottle!"

"This bottle is so beautiful. This pair of bottles must cost thousands of taels of silver! The prince is really willing to spend."

Su Chen pursed his lips, "Put it in the warehouse."

The maid closed the brocade box, and the two carefully carried the brocade box away.

Seeing that the young master was in a bad mood, Zhang Ze quickly shut up and left, taking the wine bottle to report to the King of Qi.

After hearing Zhang Ze's reply, the King of Qi nodded repeatedly, "No wonder this wine tastes so unique, it was brewed with five kinds of grains, and the brewing technique must be extraordinary."

"What a pity, the winemaker is no longer here. I never thought there would be such a master among the people, and such good wine!"

Zhang Ze knelt on the ground, "The second master Gu refused to accept the money, so I didn't give out the banknote."

The King of Qi lowered his eyes and stared at him slightly, "Didn't ask for money?"

"Since the Gu family fled from famine, they must be poor and refused to accept money, but they have something to ask for. To the mansion?" Zhang Ze hurriedly said, "No, the Gu family is a kind family. The young master has been taken care of by them along the way. They don't know the young master's identity, let alone your identity." The King of Qi raised the corner of his lips slightly, "This is rare." "Go to the housekeeper and tell him that I ordered him to pack a few things and send them over, saying that it is a reward for them. I can't just ask for their good wine for nothing." The King of Qi paused, "You also go to the housekeeper to get 20 taels of silver as a reward." Zhang Ze is a guard of the Su family. Naturally, he should be rewarded for doing things for him. "Yes." Zhang Ze bowed his head and responded, then stood up and left. After receiving the reward, the housekeeper asked Zhang Ze to run another trip. Zhang Ze had no choice but to drive the carriage with a coachman to go out of the city after lunch. Gu Fei and Xiaocao were playing with deer in the front yard. This deer should be artificially raised and not afraid of people. Xiaocao was feeding it with a handful of dry corn stalks. Hearing someone knocking on the door, Gu Fei went to open the door, and was stunned when she saw Zhang Ze. Why did he come again?

He had already run three times this day.

Zhang Ze also smiled bitterly and bowed, "My uncle likes your wine very much, so he sent me to bring some gifts."

Gu Fei looked embarrassed, "Brother Zhang, I really can't accept it. Young Master Su has been giving gifts for so many years, and we are already unworthy of it. Please pull the car back quickly."

Xiao Cao saw someone coming, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to call her grandfather.

"Grandpa, the uncle who sent the deer is here again."

Gu Zhang quickly put down the book in his hand and walked out.

Zhang Ze was at a loss as to what to do. Seeing Gu Zhang coming out, he quickly bowed, "Second Uncle Gu, these things are rewards from my uncle. You have to accept them anyway. If you don't accept them, I'm afraid I will have to run again."

Gu Fei didn't say anything when he heard the word "reward".

Giving and rewarding are different.

Giving is equal communication, and rewarding is condescending.

It is estimated that Mr. Su's uncle is of a special status.

Gu Zhang also understood the meaning of the word "reward". You can refuse the gift, but you cannot refuse the reward.
