"Auntie, do you like this gift?”
As he spoke, Cheng Chumo opened the brocade box in front of Li Chun.
"This…"
When she saw the contents of the box, Lady Cui was shocked and quickly waved her hand.
"This…this gift is too expensive. I…I can't accept it.”
Inside the brocade box, there was an exquisitely carved jade hairpin lying quietly inside. Moreover, from its color and shape, one could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
Although this Cui family was just a country bumpkin, she could still see the value of this gift at a glance. Moreover, this was the first time she had met Cheng Chumo, so she naturally didn't dare to accept such an expensive gift.
Not only the Cui family, even Li Chun was stunned when he saw the jade hairpin. Obviously, he did not expect Cheng Chumo to be so generous. It should be known that such a jade would be worth at least a thousand taels if it was exchanged for money. Moreover, it had been meticulously carved, so its value was even more immeasurable.
"Auntie, don't stand on ceremony.”
Seeing Madam Cui's expression, Cheng Chumo stuffed the brocade box into her hands.
"This jade hairpin was specially made for you. If you don't accept it, wouldn't it be a waste of my good intentions? Cheng Chumo put his arm around Li Chun's shoulder and said,"Xiaochun and I are brothers now. Take this gift as a token of respect."”
"This…this…"
After listening to Cheng Chumo's words and looking at the brocade box in her hand, Madam Cui didn't know how to deal with it.
"Mother, just accept it."
Seeing his mother's dilemma, Li Chun smiled and said," This is also his kind intention. If I don't accept it, wouldn't I be letting it down? Besides, his family has plenty of money anyway. This thing is nothing to him."”
Obviously, when he said this, Li Chun also regarded Cheng Chumo as a true friend. Otherwise, no matter how expensive the gift was, Li Chun would not accept it easily.
"Yes, yes, auntie, please accept it. This is my kind intention. You can't let it down.”
As soon as Li Chun finished speaking, Cheng Chumo struck the iron while it was hot and tried to persuade the Cui Corporation again. He looked as if he was really afraid that the Cui Corporation would reject him.
"Then…Alright then."
After listening to Li Chun's words, the Cui family finally agreed.
"Thank you."
Then, he thanked Cheng Chumo.
"Hehe, no need, no need."
Cheng Chumo was delighted to see the gift accepted.
" Um, auntie..." She turned to Mrs. Chui and said," It's my father's birthday in a few days. I'd like to invite Xiaochun to my house for a few days. Is that... okay?"”
"You can ask Xiaochun about that." Lady Cui smiled and said,"If Xiaochun is willing, I won't stop you.”
Cheng Chumo looked at Li Chun with a smile on his face. His eyes were full of pride.
"So this is what this guy is planning.”
Seeing Cheng Chumo's expression, Li Chun suddenly understood.
However, Li Chun was not disgusted by this. Instead, he was looking forward to it. After all, he had been staying in Black Water Village since he transmigrated to the Tang Empire and had never been to Chang 'an. Now, he could take this opportunity to take a look.
"Alright, then I'll go with you."
Thinking of this, Li Chun agreed.
Hearing Li Chun's words, Cheng Chumo's face lit up. This meant that he had completed the task his father had given him.
"There's no time like the present. Let's…"
" Young Master…Young Master…"
Before Cheng Chumo could finish his sentence, a call came from outside the door.
"What is it?"
Pushing open the door, he saw Zhao Gang standing outside.
"Young Master, the village chief here said that in order to thank us, he will hold a banquet for us at noon. What do you think…"
"Banquet?"
Cheng Chumo was slightly stunned and then said," Go and tell the village chief that we still have to hurry. There's no need."”
At this moment, Cheng Chumo only wanted to bring Li Chun home, so how could he be in the mood to eat?
"Yes, Young Master."
Hearing Cheng Chumo's order, Zhao Gang responded and turned to leave.
"Wait…"
However, at this moment, Li Chun suddenly stopped him.
"This is also the villagers 'intention." He turned to look at Cheng Chumo and said," Besides, you probably haven't eaten today. Why don't you go?"”
"Alright, let's go then."
Cheng Chumo immediately agreed.
"Come, let's go together."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Li Chun's shoulder and prepared to head to the banquet venue.
"You go first." Seeing Cheng Chumo's actions, Li Chun smiled and said," I still have some things to deal with. I'll go over after I'm done."”
"Alright then."
"I'll go over first."
Hearing this, Cheng Chumo didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement. Then, under Zhao Gang's lead, he walked towards a certain part of the village.
"Xiaochun, who is he?"
After Cheng Chumo left, Cui Shi asked Li Chun.
Obviously, he still didn't know Cheng Chumo's identity.
"Him?" Li Chun smiled and said," He is the Duke of Lu's estate.”
"Little…Little Duke…"
Hearing this, the Cui Clan was shocked!
Although she hadn't seen much of the world in this village, she had seen pigs run before. Moreover, the "country dukes" were basically the founding fathers of the country. How could she not know?
"Then…then why did he…"
"Mother, don't worry." Seeing the state the Chui family was in, Li Chun comforted them," He doesn't have any ill intentions. They came here to thank me for saving them. Don't worry."”
Li Chun naturally knew what the Cui family was thinking. They were just worried that a Duke would call him brother.
However, Li Chun didn't tell them the truth, lest the Cui family became suspicious. After all, he had changed too much in the past year…
"That's good, that's good."
Hearing Li Chun's words, the Cui family was slightly relieved.
"Alright, Mother, I still have some things to do, so I'll go in first.”
As he spoke, Li Chun immediately walked into his room.
" I guess this mission is completed…"
After entering the room, Li Chun muttered to himself. With a thought, he opened the attribute list to take a look.
"Ding dong…"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the gratitude mission!”
“……”
At this moment, the system seemed to know what Li Chun was thinking, and a series of notifications echoed in his mind...
