He Linwan pretended not to know anything, pointed in one direction and said, "I remember that there is a pavilion over there, why don't we go there to rest, I just have something to say to Sister Zhao." ”

Zhao Qingqing looked at Yuan Xiang and saw that Yuan Xiang didn't have any opinions, so he nodded happily: "It's okay." ”

So the group went to the pavilion that He Lin said in the evening, and Yuan Xiang left a little maid to wait for Yuan Chun and He Ling in the same place.

There were a few women who were talking in the pavilion, but when they saw their group coming, they automatically got up and avoided without waiting for them to speak, and let the pavilion out, and Yuan Xiang's eldest maid chased after them and wanted to give them some money, but they didn't dare to take it.

They looked at the young ladies of the official family at a glance, and the ordinary people had a little awe in their hearts, and they didn't dare to offend lightly.

After the three of them sat down, Zhao Qingqing took the initiative to speak: "I heard Ah Xiang say that Sister Lin Wan wants to find a pendant?"

He Linwan took out the pendant and handed it to Zhao Qingqing: "Yes, Sister Zhao, it is a pendant similar to this." ”

Zhao Qingqing took it and looked at it carefully, and then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't have any impression, but I can take it to the shopkeeper in the store to take a look." ”

He Linwan smiled gratefully: "I think the carving of this pendant is very novel, if I can't find a similar pendant, can I ask Sister Zhao to help me find the person who was the original thing to inquire?" I want to ask the jade carver to carve a few ornaments for me." ”

Zhao Qingqing looked at the pendant and smiled at He Linwan: "When you say that, I really think that the carving of this pendant is a little different." ”

Naturally, it is different, because the pendant is not from the hand of a famous artist, it is carved by the cousin himself, and others cannot imitate it.

Although my cousin is also a scholar, he is very interested in the skill of jade carving, and because he was reprimanded by his elders for playing with playthings, he can only carve and play secretly. At the beginning, the Yang family was raided, and all valuable items were confiscated, but this pendant carved by the cousin himself was an object that would not reveal his identity, which was why He Linwan dared to blatantly ask Miss Zhao to help her check.

"Sister Lin Wan, don't worry, when I find out, I will immediately ask someone to tell you, how about putting this pendant here first?" Zhao Qingqing said with a smile.

Although He Linwan was a little reluctant in her heart, she didn't come out, but bowed her head and said, "Then thank you Sister Zhao." ”

Zhao Qingqing smiled, put the pendant into his purse, and thought for a while: "Since you call me sister, I can't take advantage of this in vain, I have to give you a meeting gift." ”

He Linwan was stunned for a moment, then saw Zhao Qingqing take a small box from his maid's hand and put it on the table and pushed it in front of He Linwan, blinking: "I didn't bring anything good when I came out, I only brought this gadget, you can see if you like it, if you don't like it, I'll give you a good one next time." ”

He Linwan opened the box under Zhao Qingqing's sincere gaze and found that inside was a jade carved bow only the size of a palm, and the bow was carved with a lifelike picture of Hou Yi shooting the sun, small and exquisite.

He Linwan took out the jade carved bow with interest, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and hooked the bowstring with his fingers: "This is a real bow?"

Zhao Qingqing smiled and pointed to the three jade arrows in the box: "I heard my brother say that it was made according to a real bow and arrow, why don't you try it and see if you can shoot it?"

He Linwan put the bow away and said with a smile: "How can I try it here? What should I do if it is broken?" Thank you, Sister Zhao, I like this gift very much, so I accepted it with a cheeky face. Saying that, He Linwan asked Chunxiao to help her put the box away, as if she was afraid that Zhao Qingqing would go back.

Yuan Xiang couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this, and Zhao Qingqing looked very happy.

While He Linwan was laughing with them, she thought that this Zhao girl met her by chance today, but she even prepared the gifts that "He Linwan" would like.

With He Linwan's previous temperament, she was naturally happier to give her a real good bow, but if she said this, she was afraid that it would make her mother and other elders feel inappropriate, and now she gave He Linwan a small bow carved in jade, taking care of the mood of He Linwan herself and the elders of the He family, and it was really well-intentioned.

He Linwan couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, looking at the relationship between Zhao Qingqing and Yuan Xiang, she should be very close to the Yuan family, if she just wants to find a backer in the capital, it is enough to have the relationship of the Yuan family, why bother to make friends with her, the unfavored daughter of the He family?

Or is this Zhao girl so all-round no matter who she is?

He Linwan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore. Regarding Zhao Qingqing's senses, although He Linwan can't say how much he likes it, he doesn't hate it either. has good looks, polite words and deeds, is neither humble nor arrogant in dealing with people, and even flattery comes out of her mouth, so people can't hear half of the flattery, I have to say that Zhao Qingqing is a girl who is easy to make people feel good.

They talked happily here, and no one else was idle.

The woman who sold the birds to them that He Linwan met on the way before her continued to look back while trotting, as if she was afraid that her whereabouts would be known, and after turning around in the Baoan Temple for most of the time, she finally dodged into an empty courtyard in the guest house.

The woman looked around under the courtyard wall for a while, and then learned to call a bird, and in a short time a girl dressed as a maid of thirteen or fourteen pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

When the lady saw the visitor, she smiled flatteringly: "Girl, the little one has already sold those to that one as you said." ”

The maid frowned and said, "Am you mistaken?

The woman hurriedly swore to the sky: "Good girl, you have taken the little one to recognize it in the dark several times, and even if the little one is blind, you can't be mistaken." The girl can rest assured that the small one will never spoil the nobleman's business. ”

The maid's face softened slightly, she took out a purse from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the woman, raised her chin and said, "Okay, leave quickly after receiving the money, don't let people be caught, and don't appear in the Baoan Temple recently." ”

The woman weighed the purse in her hand with her hand, and a big smile appeared on her face, and she said flatteringly: "Thank you, girl, the little one can save it, and let's go." ”

The maid watched the woman sneakily go out of the courtyard, and waited for a while before opening the courtyard door and going out.

He Ling stood under a Bodhi tree with a few maids, she raised her head slightly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, pinched the handkerchief to pounce on a small pale yellow butterfly, and saw that the butterfly circled between her fingers and flew away, so she bent her eyes and showed a sweet smile, looking innocent and cute.

When Yuan Chun came over as promised, he saw such a scene, and his footsteps couldn't help but pause.

He Ling looked up and saw Yuan Chun, her eyes lit up slightly, and she waved her hand gently: "Brother Yuan Chun, I'm here!"

Yuan Chun smiled back at her and walked over, his voice a little apologetic: "Sorry to keep you waiting." As he spoke, he looked around again, "Why are you the only one here, isn't Miss Yuanda going too?"

He Ling pouted and said aggrievedly: "Brother Yuanchun really only remembers the eldest sister. ”

Yuan Chun's face turned red when he heard this, and he was about to explain a few words, but He Ling lightly covered her lips and smiled, and glanced at Yuan Chun: "I'm laughing, Brother Yuan Chun is still serious? Big sister, she left first." ”

Yuan Chun was a little helpless: "Don't make this kind of joke well in the future, it's not good to be heard." ”

He Ling nodded, and said with a well-behaved smile: "I know Brother Yuanchun, it's me who is wrong." ”

"It's not too early, let's go to the release pool? I'm afraid there will be more people later." Yuan Chun's tone is warm and authentic.

He Ling naturally agreed.

I didn't want to go far, but a maid ran over with a panicked face: "Girl, girl, big girl, she ......"

He Ling frowned lightly and reproached softly: "What are you doing? Didn't you see Second Young Master Yuan here? It's too rude!"
