"Let my sister wait for a long time, I will go to the Queen Mother to listen to the training in a while, so I have been preparing for a long time." Guanguan's second cup of tea was finished, and Wen Xiyue's voice was finally heard, although she was smiling and calling her sister, but her eyes were cold.

"Where, it's my sister who is late." Guan Guan smiled and saluted Wen Xiyue, "I've seen Wen Jieyu." Then he took the congratulatory gift held by Yin Qiu and handed it to Wen Xiyue. Wen Xiyue glanced at it, but did not reach out to take it, but glanced at the maid beside her, and the maid understood and stepped forward to take it.

Guan Guan didn't mind, and continued: "In addition to congratulating Jieyu, my sister has also made amends to Jieyu, so I have been delayed for a while, and I hope Jieyu will not blame." ”

"Oh? What is it that is holding my sister back? ”

Guan Guan had expected Wen Xiyue to ask carefully, but he didn't expect it to be so direct, without a polite word, and he was speechless for a while. If it is said that the Queen Mother deliberately left her as a reward, it is definitely not possible to tell the truth. Today is Wen Xiyue's canonization gift, she is the protagonist, the "sit-in" thing has accidentally stolen her limelight, if she says that she has received a reward, I am afraid that she will be unhappy.

Thinking so, Guan Guan smiled at Wen Xiyue and said, "Jieyu, don't laugh at me, you will know when you open the box." ”

Wen Xiyue glanced at Guanguan, and then at the box sent by Guanguan. There was a hint of doubt in his cold eyes. After thinking about it, he said to the maid: "Pei Rong, open it and see what ingenious congratulatory gifts the official beauty has prepared." ”

Although Wen Xiyue was talking to Pei Rong, her eyes kept looking at Guanguan. Guan Guan didn't care, still maintaining a faint smile.

Pei Rong opened the box and handed it to Wen Xiyue. I saw that inside was a light purple embroidered handkerchief, only the edges and corners were embroidered with delicate pale green vines, and the middle was all blank. This is undoubtedly a handkerchief that could not be simpler, and even a little too simple. But Wen Xiyue had to admit that she liked it very much. Fine and neat stitches, smooth lines, elegant color matching. Compared with the gorgeous and complicated palace pa, this is simple but more noble, exquisite workmanship, simple lines but it is not difficult to see the exquisite skills of the embroiderer.

And the most unique is a begonia in the middle of the embroidered handkerchief that is still stained with rain and dew. Wen Xiyue glanced at Guanguan and thought that Guanguan was referring to this begonia.

Sure enough, Guan Guan nodded and said with a smile: "My sister was worried at first that this embroidered handkerchief sent was too simple and Jieyu would not like it. It happened that I met the female official who sent the palace flowers on the road, and I saw that the begonia flowers were noble and elegant, which was very in line with Jieyu's temperament. So I inquired about the palace maid and specially picked this flower, which just made up for the lack of too monotonous embroidery, so it was too late. ”

"I hope Jieyu doesn't blame you, our master picked this most delicate flower for a long time, saying that only this one is worthy of your temperament. The flowers and trees in the palace are not allowed to be picked at will, and the slaves and maids persuaded them for a long time, and the master insisted that he would pick them and give them to you. Yin Qiu bowed his head and explained softly.

Wen Xiyue smiled: "It's very chic, I like it very much." But my sister won't do this tiring thing next time. In fact, this embroidered handkerchief is very good, and the begonia is just the icing on the cake, but it is dispensable. I don't know which embroiderer this embroidery handkerchief came from? ”

Guan Guan replied: "Jieyu smiled, it was embroidered by my sister herself." ”

"Oh? My sister's craftsmanship is so exquisite. Wen Xiyue was surprised. Ladies like them, who are from everyone's background, focus on cultivating piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, and specialize in one subject. Embroidery these female red will only learn a little, will not specialize. After all, this is more of a means for folk embroiderers to make a living.

Guan Guan laughed at himself: "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, my sister is not good at calligraphy and painting since she was a child." My mother had to let me learn embroidery, which was really helpless. ”

When Wen Xiyue heard that this was the case, she laughed lightly in her heart, but her face was still calm: "Well, I accepted my sister's congratulatory gift." I still have to go to the Queen Mother's place, so I won't send it. ”

Guanguan just wanted to go back immediately after leaving the Baohua Palace, and this morning was really too much trouble.

"Miss, it's so dangerous, it really scares me." Liu Liu's heart palpitated, "You changed the congratulatory gift temporarily, why did you tell Wen Jieyu about secretly picking flowers?" If she denounces you, it will be a minor offense, but she will be admonished. ”

Guan Guan explained: "If we go with everyone, we will give a jade bracelet, although it is ordinary but not ostentatious, it is naturally good to be like this." But let's go late, if you still send someone who doesn't show your heart, Wen Jieyu doesn't think we're slacking? Don't make enemies in the palace, especially Wen Jieyu's family background is so deep. Therefore, they can only take risks and do what they like. Fortunately, I have a new handkerchief on me today, simple and exquisite, and I think I can match her preferences. As for the flower, I can only tell her that it was because of this delay in time, or how could I cope with it. I think, according to her high-minded temperament, she disdains to beat me for this little report. ”

"How do you know that Miss will like this begonia flower?" Liu Liu said curiously.

"Who in Beijing doesn't know that the second lady of the Wen family likes begonias the most and prides herself on begonias?"

Liu Liu was used to the smart head of her own young lady, and she smiled and put her mind at ease. Yin Qiu looked at Guanguan, but it was the first time that he found the delicate and transparent nature of this master. smiled with satisfaction, and he would not be too sad in the future.

"However, Miss, it's clear that your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are no worse than those of the female red, why do you have to say it so quietly in front of her." Liu Liu couldn't help but complain.

"There are people outside the world, who can say how good they are. Besides, I'm not lying. I've been interested in everything since I was a child, I've learned everything, but I've never specialized in anything, I've never participated in the party's ladies' meetings, I've never competed with outsiders, and I don't even know what my level is. It's not just you little girl boasting every time. Guan Guan said and glanced at Liu Liu with a smile.

"But the lord and the lady and the eldest lady also said yes, I didn't say it alone." Liuliu Nunu mouth.

"In fact, no matter what, in front of Wen Jieyu today, I have to say this. In her eyes, it should be said that in the eyes of everyone, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are what everyone should be proficient in. No matter how good a female celebrity is, she can only fiddle in the boudoir and can't get on the stage. I told her this, Wen Jieyu, who has excellent piano skills, can't look down on my female celebrity, so she won't deal with me, she will only look down on me. Clever and arrogant people only want to defeat those who might threaten them, and as for some minions, they disdain to look at them. Guan Guan said flatly, "At least Wen Jieyu won't care about me for a while, one less person sees us, and the days ahead may be a little cleaner." ”
