Gu Jiangli had rarely seen such elaborate dishes in all the years he had been in the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord and his men went to great lengths to please Master Song.
During the meal, the city lord's wife couldn't stop talking. She inquired about Master Song's usual preferences, asked about the situation in the capital, and always added a compliment to Wuyou at the end of her sentences.
Master Song was indeed a magnanimous and well-mannered man. Faced with the city lord's wife's interruption, he showed no impatience and always answered her questions slowly and methodically.
After the meal, the city lord's wife finally got down to business.
"Master Song, this is your first time visiting Qingfeng City. As the hosts of Qingfeng City, we have prepared some gifts for you. They are all our heartfelt wishes, and you must accept them."
Master Song's expression changed.
These words sounded like a bribe, so he immediately waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, Lady City Lord, I appreciate your kind intentions, but please refrain from giving a gift."
"No, please accept this. We spent a lot of money to find it, and it's a special gift for you. Please take it."
As the two were talking, Gu Jiangli paid special attention to Wuyou's expression.

Upon hearing Jiang Huaizhi's words, the refusal on Master Song's face vanished.
One person said the item was "not valuable," while another said it was "obtained by chance." If this is true, then the item was indeed not bought at a high price and given to him as a special gift.
If it's a token of his goodwill, then as Nan Yu's teacher, it wouldn't hurt for him to accept the little trinkets from Nan Yu's parents.
"Young Master, you're very thoughtful. What is it?"
Seeing that Master Song's attitude softened, Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi both breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other and then nodded slightly at the same time.
Jiang Huaizhi said to the person outside, "Huaiyu, bring the things in."
