Chapter 217 4 Sea Bamboo
However, Fang Fu's worries were obviously unnecessary, as the journey was very safe.
Pei Mingqiu even bought Meng Yu a small gift and some snacks, filling her little hands.
After sending Meng Yu back, they had dinner at the Jixiang Restaurant and then returned to the inn.
After returning to the room and looking at the bags on the table, Pei Mingqiu suddenly remembered that there was a small box, but he didn't know what was inside.
He took the small box out from the pile of gifts. The box was very ordinary and looked inconspicuous. It was just a simple wooden box.
Therefore, Pei Mingqiu did not take it too seriously. As long as the banknotes were not too much, he could accept them and then ask Fang Fu to return a gift of equal value.
But when he carelessly opened it and saw what was inside, his hands shook and he almost dropped the box on the ground.
Then he hugged the box and pressed it against his chest to suppress his pounding heartbeat. This reaction was even more exaggerated than Zhao Susu's at the beginning.
Shocked and unbelievable, his emotions gradually calmed down. He must have seen it wrong. He must have seen it wrong.
How could such a thing appear in a small county town?
He calmed himself down and opened the box again.
The color is shiny black and crystal clear. Each section of the black amber is distinct, the dense bamboo joints have fine and exquisite texture, and a rich medicinal fragrance emanates.
He was stunned, his brows furrowed.
The four-sea bamboo has nine sections and is not only precious.
He also thought that if it was a banknote, he would give a gift of equal value in return.
But it was so precious, how could he return the gift?
He called out in a deep voice: "Fang Fu!"
Fang Fu came over in response.
Seeing what Pei Mingqiu was holding, he was also startled for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Master, isn't this the Four Seas Bamboo you have been looking for? Where did it come from?"
Pei Mingqiu said slowly: "This was sent by the mother and daughter!"
Fang Fu was surprised. He really didn't expect that the mother and daughter were actually invisible wealthy people?
You know, the price of this small section of Four Seas Bamboo is enough to buy a mansion in the capital.
He only knew that the businessman was rich, but he didn't expect that the mother and daughter would be so rich!
Fang Fu couldn't help but say, "Even if the Duke Ding's Mansion has businesses all over the world, they may not be able to produce this thing, right? Except for the palace..."
At this point he shut up again. This is the Ninth Section, which may not even be found in the palace!
When the master fell off the cliff, there has been blood clots in his brain. If the blood clots are not removed, it will always be a hidden danger.
Pei Mingqiu narrowed his eyes: "This gift is too valuable, I have to return it!"
"Don't," Fang Fu hurriedly stopped him, "Master, the Ghost Island Lord said that if you want to cure your old injury, you must use the Four Seas Bamboo. You have searched so many places but couldn't find it. Now that you have it, how can you push it away?"
Since it concerns his master's life, he is more anxious than Pei Mingqiu.
Seeing Pei Mingqiu didn't say anything, Fang Fu hurriedly said, "The island master said that you can't delay this. It will only get worse if you delay. If it gets bigger, it will press on something in your brain and your life will be in danger. At worst, we will return it tenfold in the future! Master, think about it, although this thing is valuable, it can only be of great use in the hands of those who need it. The mother and daughter don't need it, so it will just be idle in their hands. But you just need it, this may be God's will!"
Pei Mingqiu paused: "Repay tenfold? What can we use to repay?"
"Why can't we return it? Necessity and practicality are more valuable than expensive things. In the future, we will give them what they need. Also, her family is in business. It's not easy for a woman to run a business alone. It's inevitable that she will encounter some difficulties. In the future, the master... just take good care of her!"
Pei Mingqiu clenched the wooden box in his hand.
He was in great need, he couldn't die, he had a lot of things to do.
"Fang Fu, go to the bank and get some silver notes and give them to her. I'll think of it as buying it!"
Fang Fu was very happy.
It would be fine as long as the master is willing to use silver notes, even if it's one thousand taels or more.
But in front of the Nine-Section Four-Seas Bamboo, it’s not much at all!
Compared with the master's life, it is insignificant.
He answered loudly, "Yes!"
After stroking the wooden box, Pei Mingqiu's eyes became more thoughtful. Was he seeing things clearly? Was this mother and daughter actually not simple?
How could a simple person come up with such a heaven-defying thing?
Don’t they know the value of this thing? Why do they take it out so openly?
If they are seen by someone with ulterior motives, they will be in danger!
I have to remind you.
The next morning, when Zhao Susu learned that Pei Mingqiu came to return the gift, she was very surprised.
But she did not neglect her savior at all.
She appeared in front of Pei Mingqiu with Luo Liu.
Pei Mingqiu turned around and gestured, and Fang Fu immediately handed over a small box with both hands. This small box was much wider and longer than the small wooden box she had yesterday.
"Thank you for your gift yesterday, young lady. However, it is too valuable and I feel ashamed to accept it. I have also prepared some small gifts as a return gift. I hope you will accept them!"
Zhao Susu smiled: "Sir, you are too polite. You saved my life. No matter what you give me, it will not be enough!"
She felt a little strange.
When she delivered the gift yesterday, she also saw this attendant, but he had a blank expression on his face, with a look of alertness, fearing that they were bad people who would harm his master. Why did he look so grateful to her today?
Looking at the bright smile of the woman in front of him, Pei Mingqiu looked away and said seriously, "That... bamboo is very valuable, very valuable. I just happen to need it, but I can't use it for nothing. What happened yesterday was just a piece of cake for me, so consider it as something I bought!"
Zhao Susu understood that the wooden box contained banknotes. She did not take it and said seriously, "This thing is useless to me. It would be great if you can use it. So you don't need to think too much about it, and you don't need to spend money to buy it!"
Pei Mingqiu shook his head: "If you don't accept it, I won't dare to use it. Besides, these are just tokens of gratitude, and are not enough to match the true value of the bamboo!"
Zhao Susu was somewhat helpless, she was repaying the life-saving grace. Besides, this was given by Ayu, who not only saved herself, but also Ayu, she was very grateful in her heart, and was willing to give up any more.
"Mom, please accept it!" A soft and cute voice came from the door.
Pei Mingqiu looked over and saw the little girl standing there rubbing her eyes, as if she had just woken up. There was still some haziness in her ignorant eyes, which made people feel even softer in their hearts.
He couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Mengyu is right! You should take it!"
Zhao Susu had no choice but to accept the wooden box. She didn't quite understand why A Yu asked her to accept it.
Meng Yu walked closer and said to Pei Mingqiu, "Uncle, if you are sick, you should get treatment as soon as possible. Do you need any medicinal herbs? My master has some!"
Pei Mingqiu was stunned.
