Qiao Lan turned around and told Gem to fetch a jar of spicy sauce, and after Gem went out for a while, he took a small jar.

Feng Qixiang was puzzled, took the jar, and opened it, it was the spicy sauce he had eaten last night, and it was genuine. "Brother Qiao, I can't eat a jar for a long time, let's make a good deed for my brother in pairs. ”

"No, I just need another mask!" Qiao Lan said thoughtlessly, then turned around and asked the gem, "Can you talk to Ye Feitian?"

Jewel replied, "He'll be there in no time." ”

"Mask?!" Feng Qixiang was stunned for a moment, "Brother Qiao, what's the matter with the mask?"

Qiao Lan picked up the teacup and took a sip before replying, "A jar of spicy sauce for a mask." ”

"Change?!" Feng Qixiang was startled, his beautiful face was full of surprise, "My friendship with you, you actually said change?"

"Your mask wasn't given for free. Qiao Lan replied lightly.

"Have I ever taken your money!!" Feng Qixiang felt that Brother Qiao was simply a white-eyed wolf, and he made three masks for him so hard that he didn't admit it when he turned around.

"I didn't ask for silver, but you asked me to go to your village and work as an overseer for three days. I didn't ask you for any money for this spicy sauce, I just asked you to make another mask. ”

"......" Feng Qixiang was speechless, and he said this casually at that time, just wanting to take people away together, which made him feel like he was lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot. "Alright, alright! You win. I'll make you another one. ”

At the door, Ye Feitian's figure appeared. After Qiao Lan agreed, he came in, "Master!"

"Come here, measure Feng Gongzi's face. ”

Feng Qixiang was shocked again, "What?!Want me to make a mask for this rough man?"

Ye Feitian wore a half-pulled mask on the left side of his face, and judging from the exposed right side of his face, he was moved, but it was not because of Feng Qixiang's words, but because Qiao Lan was still thinking about making a mask for him.

Because of the words on his face, he had to wear a mask when he went out. It's not like Feng Qixiang or Qiao Lan is trying to cover his face. This half-pull mask of his. Although it cost forty taels of silver, in fact, the craftsmanship is average, the materials are average, and it will be uncomfortable to wear for a long time......

Qiao Lan looked at Feng Qixiang. Said lightly. "Brother Feng. Do you want to break your word and get fat?"

"I promised to make you a mask......"

"He's my man, and making a mask for him is the same as making it for me. Plus, because someone is poorly protected. Put me in danger. He was injured trying to save me, and I wanted to give him something to show me. I can't look down on anything else, but the mask you made, I think it's very good to wear, think about it, it's really suitable. ”

Qiao Lan said so many words to Feng Qixiang for the first time, not only reminded Feng Qixiang that this is what you deserve, but also praised him in the end.

"Brother Qiao, he's just a subordinate. Feng Qixiang looked at Qiao Lan and frowned. Here, Qiao Lan also raised her head to look at him, her eyes were as flat as a mirror lake, and she was not shocked. "He's my subordinate. She emphasized the word "mine".

I have long known that Qiao Lan is very good to his subordinates, but he personally verified that he is still just an outsider in Qiao Lan's mind, and he is not as good as his subordinates, at this moment, Feng Qixiang was a little injured.

Seeing his sad look, Qiao Lan was a little inexplicable, this person couldn't be jealous, right?!

Feng Qixiang no longer looked at Qiao Lan, turned around, glared at Ye Feitian fiercely a few times, picked up the small jar on the table and left.

Behind him, Qiao Lan's voice came, "As long as the mask is half pulled, the left half pulled, and also, use gold gray, don't draw flowers." Feng Qixiang paused, and then left with heavy steps.

Feng Yi, who was guarding at the door, silently followed.

Being so angry that Feng Qixiang was a little proud, Qiao Lan was a little proud, and when she stepped out of the small hall, she still had a smile on her face.

Walking to the small garden, the shallots came to him with a package in his hand.

"Master, there are your things, Xie Jinbao gave them. ”

"Xie Jinbao is back?!" Qiao Lan was taken aback, thinking: That kid has been gone for so many days, and there is no news coming, why did he come back. I guess I can't be a deserter. "What about others?"

"I didn't ...... Didn't come back! The people helped bring things. ”

"Oh!" she looked at the rag bag in Yang Onion's hand, a little disgusted, "Only such a rag bag? nothing else?"

"That's it...... That's it. ”

Qiao Lan asked Yang Cong to put the cloth bag on the stone table in the pavilion, and after he left, she slowly opened it with a stick, and when she saw the things inside, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: Xie Jinbao, there is really you!

Inside the rag bag was a small dagger with intricate rattan patterns on the scabbard and hilt, embellished with glittering rubies, five on one side and ten in a neat one.

Qiao Lan stretched out her hand, and was just about to pick up the dagger from the pile of rags, when the gem happened to come over and exclaimed, "Master, don't dirty your hands, let the slave and maid come!" After speaking, the person went to the table, picked out the dagger with a handkerchief, and carefully wiped it a few times before handing it to Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan took the dagger and pulled it out, the blade of the dagger had a little arc, it was very beautiful, but it didn't open the blade.

"What is the second girl doing now?"

"The second girl should be learning the rules from Mama Lin. ”

"You go to the inner courtyard and tell Baozhu that when the second girl is not busy, come to the backyard study, I have something to look for her." ”

"Yes!"

Qiao Lan went to the backyard study to practice big characters, and this practice was almost until noon, and Chen Yueya was late.

As soon as she entered the study, she rushed to the wolf and dog chasing on the ground, and quickly caught the wolf, hugged him in his arms and rubbed it. The little wolf was extremely reluctant and couldn't struggle, so he had to chase Qiao Lan aggrievedly and howl.

"Okay, don't toss the wolf. Be careful that it is not refreshing and bites you back. Huh?" Qiao Lan suddenly saw Chen Yueya's hand, ten fingers, eight bandages, and the tail finger was spared, "What's wrong with your hand?"

"Huh?" Chen Yueya stiffened, put Xiao Wolf down, and then put his hands behind his back and didn't show it, "Nothing, nothing." "Obviously, there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

"Honest hospitality. Qiao Lan reached out to pinch her face as a slight punishment. But after thinking about it, he turned to the gem standing next to him with low eyebrows, "Gem, do you know?"

"Don't talk about gems. Chen Yueya was anxious, and hurriedly spoke, and saw Qiao Lan squinting her eyes slightly, so she didn't seep into people, her tongue swirled, "I said it myself." It's all the disobedient needles who make trouble, they only listen to Aunt Li and Zhang Niangzi. Let me do what I want. Let me wear what I wear, but when it comes to my hand, I don't tie the cloth head, only the fingers. ”

Chen Yueya complained. Qiao Lan almost burst out laughing. Thankfully, I held back. Otherwise, this girl may not be ashamed of herself. "Ahem!" she corrected her voice, "have you ever been drugged?"

"Up. Chen Yueya's cheeks were slightly red, and she was in a hurry just now. He said such a scoundrel.

"If you can't really learn, you don't need to force it. Qiao Lan felt that if she didn't do anything, she would catch up with the parents who forced their children to attend various interest classes in later generations, "People's energy is limited, and they can't be evenly touched by everything." It takes three and five years to learn to embroider a flower, so you might as well use it elsewhere. ”

"Sister, I can do it. Chen Yueya thought that Qiao Lan was going to be disappointed in herself, so she hurriedly stepped forward to grab her.

Qiao Lan didn't understand her thoughts. Qiao Lan couldn't be clearer about Chen Yueya's eagerness to become a real lady and help her sister build momentum, but she understands even more that a twisted melon is not sweet, and everything must be taught according to her aptitude.

"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Mama Lin, she said she must learn, she said if she doesn't learn, we won't learn, okay. ”

"Okay!" Chen Yueya's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, she replied with a wilt, Mama Lin has always been strict, and she must continue to learn by herself, but in fact, she feels that she is really not the material to learn that delicate work: Hey, my sister should stand firm and persuade me again.

Qiao Lan didn't see the disappointment on Chen Yueya's face, "Come, I have something here." ”

When Chen Yueya saw the dagger in Qiao Lan's hand, she liked it immediately, and immediately smiled, "Wow! She looked at the dagger over and over again, and she really liked it in her heart, "Thank you, third brother!"

Qiao Lan couldn't help laughing and said strangely, "Huh?!Thank me for what?"

"It's not to send me ......" Chen Yueya was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it, she said coquettishly, "Don't tease me." ”

"I was not familiar with the man who gave me the dagger, and he asked someone to bring it to me, which was a surprise. I liked it so much that I asked you to come and enjoy it. Qiao Lan said pretendly.

Chen Yueya was slightly embarrassed: It really wasn't for me. "But third brother, you are a man, how could someone give you such a dagger, is it possible that the person recognized you as ......"

"But no, obviously I'm a man, and I gave me such a delicate dagger, but I still haven't opened it, so I'm not confused. Qiao Lan pretended to be puzzled.

Chen Yueya said indignantly, "It's difficult, that person wants to humiliate the third brother......"

When Qiao Lan heard this, she suddenly realized, "That bastard boy, Baobao, pass on my words, in the future, Xie Jinbao will come to the door and will never accept it." ”

"Yes!" Gem didn't know that Qiao Lan wanted to tease Chen Yueya, so she walked out in response, but her pace was not usual and had to slow down a little.

Chen Yueya heard Xie Jinbao's name coldly, and she didn't react for a while, but when she came back to her senses, the gem had already walked to the door, and hurriedly ran over to stop the person, "Gem wait!"

Qiao Lan teased Chen Yueya for having a criminal record, Chen Yueya also understood after thinking about it, and suddenly felt ashamed and annoyed, ashamed of the dagger, and annoyed by Qiao Lan. She blushed, sat down on the chair on the edge of the chair angrily, looked to the side, and no longer paid attention to Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan took the dagger and looked at it carefully, "Why don't you let it go back, and change it to a knife or sword, that will be in line with my identity." ”

Chen Yueya was angry, "Third brother, stop playing!"

"Hmm?!" Qiao Lan looked over and said seriously, "Sister Ya'er wants it, hey, if you want to say that Xie Jinbao is really ignorant, why don't you give more." ”

Chen Yueya got up and pouted, she was going to be angry with Qiao Lan, but the red on her face couldn't go down, so she had to stomp her feet, "Ignore you!"

The little girl ran out after saying that.

"Haha......" Qiao Lan smiled, and only after laughing did she hand the dagger to the gem, "Send it to the second girl, just say that it was given by her sister Qiao Lan." "Lest it be known in the future, and say what you say to give and receive privately.

In the afternoon, Qiao Lan called Mama Lin to the study again, from "adapting measures to local conditions, teaching students according to their aptitude" to "everyone has talent, no one has all-round talent, develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, they can all become talents", and they all talked about it, Rao is old-fashioned, such as Mama Lin is also willing to bow down, and agreed to dismiss Chen Yueya's needlework and threading......

In the evening, Chen Yueya, who received the news, was so happy that she walked around the house like a happy finch. The dagger sent by the gem was solemnly placed by her in the pearl box that Qiao Lan gave her, as long as she opened the pearl box, she could see it. (To be continued......)
