That night, the Xie family chariots and horses from Jiankang returned to the house at night, and although the mighty team had lowered the momentum to a low level, it still attracted the people to watch it, after all, everyone wanted to see the style of such a big family. In order not to disturb the people, Xie An, the head of the Xie family, could only give an order to come down, let the coachman whip and gallop into the house.

At that time, Wanzhang hadn't slept yet, firstly because it was too noisy outside, and secondly, because he knew that Xie Yan was back, and there seemed to be something in his heart all the time, and he always felt that the first thing he would do when he came back would be to find him.

As it turned out, she was always a prophet of indeed.

Wan Zhang was listening to the movement outside, and suddenly the servants were in a commotion, only to hear a voice in the courtyard excitedly:

"The second son is back!"

Wan Zhang trembled, not as excited as those minions in the courtyard, or even no less than, after all, he had such a deep friendship with Xie Yan for so many years, after all, Liu Yan had enlightened himself like that before.

So that now when she hears Xie Yan come back, in addition to the joy of reuniting with her old friends after a long absence, there is always a little bit of a little woman's fawn bumping around, she is happy for a while, and for a while she feels that it is not normal for her to be so happy. Under the mixture of various feelings, the whole person was restless, and he actually circled back and forth in the room, completely losing his maturity and stability as a prophet in front of everyone on weekdays.

On the contrary, the catkins on the side looked much calmer in comparison, and finally couldn't stand the appearance of Wanzhang with cold eyes, and turned upside down to comfort her: "Miss Wanzhang, calm down." ”

But Wan Zhang still didn't stop pacing, and asked very quickly while circling around, "How long has Xie Yan been walking?" ”

"Less than three months."

The footsteps suddenly stopped, worrying that Liu Zhang was not normal and the catkins who had been following her almost collided, and Wan Zhang turned his head and said to Liu Wu in surprise: "March? I thought it was over a year! How so?! ”

Is it because so much has happened in the past few months that it feels like a long time has passed?

While she was wondering, Liu Fu had already smiled at her smartly, and solved the mystery of Wanzhang with a delicate face:

"This is about what the "Book of Songs" says, 'as if you don't see it, like every three autumns'."

Damn, shit.

It turned out to be like this!

Wan Zhang slapped her head suddenly, and realized that the reason why she felt that time passed slowly was only because of her own state of mind.

However, when she realized that she was too late to do all this, she had become not like her former self, and in her anger, she could only blame the catkins who inspired her in the first place, damn little girl, blame her for being so talkative, otherwise how could she not be as good as she is today? I still remember that Master once said that once a person has a concern in his heart, he will change from being invincible to being able to destroy everything.

Alas, it seems that I am done with the fun.

Extremely annoyed, there was no love, there was a knock outside the door three times, and Xingmo, who went to Jiankang with Xie Yan that day, said respectfully at the door: "Miss Wanzhang, my son-in-law asks to see you." ”

Yunzhang replied weakly:

"Please come in ......"

A door opened, and a pair of moon white brocade boots stepped in, and the person who came was not stained with fine dust, and appeared in front of her with the moonlight, just like an immortal who fell into the mortal world, stepping into the red dust with a soaring fairy spirit.

Liu Wu obediently and silently retreated, probably playing with Xingmo, and when they left, the two did not forget to help the two people in the house close the door by the way, leaving only a quiet room, and the side room was so quiet for a moment that even the sound of the wind blowing and moving leaves could be heard clearly.

Xie Yan is still dressed in the court, wearing a small crown of pinched gold wire, wearing a wide shirt, the crown is a Rui beast bead, the shirt is secretly embroidered auspicious patterns, and the whole body is more complicated and delicate than what is usually worn at home, and it looks more and more extravagant and fairy.

No wonder the children of the Xie family are so famous among the people, and the most admired words are like immortals, now after three months have not seen, she looks at it with an objective eye, only to know that it is not the people's words are poor, but it is really the most appropriate to say so, Xie Yan, who is wearing court clothes, is simply noble and does not eat the fireworks of the world, as if he is outside the Sanqing realm, and is independent and left behind.

"Look at me like this, don't you know me?"

He said this, smiling.

Wan Zhang hurriedly came back to his senses, only to feel that he was really embarrassed, and hurriedly excused himself without convincing: "It's not ......"

The other party continued to laugh, smiling gracefully: "I don't seem very happy to hear your voice just now, what's wrong?" ”

Wanzhang is getting more and more here without three hundred taels of silver, and his lie is clumsy: "There is no displeasure." ”

"Oh, that's to blame me for being gone for too long?" Xie Yan ignored her pale explanation, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he continued to himself, "What if I said I brought you something good?" ”

As soon as he heard that there was something good, Wanzhang suddenly became overjoyed, forgot everything, doggedly pulled Xie Yan to the table to give up his seat, and asked with burning eyes: "What good things?" ”

Probably thinking that her questioning was very interesting, Xie Yan deliberately did not say it directly, but slowly took something out of his cuffs, causing Wanzhang to stare at him without blinking, for fear of missing it.

After teasing for a long time, Xie Yan also relented, and took out this good thing that made Wanzhang look forward to it from his sleeve, and it turned out to be a gold-inlaid jade step with meticulous workmanship.

The main body is a whole piece of Hetian jade, carved into the shape of camellia by the hands of skilled craftsmen, and then inlaid with the leaves of gold silk tiredness on the outside, it is the cinnamon branch Xiangmiao, and there are five strings of pearls stringed into tassels under it, cumbersome and complex, gorgeous and exquisite.

Even Wan Zhang, who has always been inattentive to these jewelry, was shocked by the beauty of this step, and was so surprised that he almost drooled.

Xie Yan saw that she liked it, so he handed her the step shake, and said: "This thing is in vogue in Beijing now, and the young girls almost all have a cinnamon branch step shake. ”

But Xie Yan said this, Wanzhang originally saw that it was interesting, and his mood of liking it suddenly faded, and when he heard a piece of people's hands, he threw this step on the table, almost breaking the jade, although his heart trembled, he still put on a proud look, raised his head and said proudly: "Everyone has it?" Then I don't want it. ”

The little girl is proud by nature, and Xie Yan can be regarded as watching her grow up, so she understands it very well. Seeing that her kindness was treated in such a cold spot, she didn't look angry, but kindly helped her pick up the step shake from the table, and blamed herself for not making it clear, and explained in a good voice:

"This one for you is naturally different from the one on the market, this is specially customized by the best craftsmen I found, and this is the only one in the world." He smiled and said indifferently, "If you really don't like it, just throw it away, but you won't find anything exactly the same in this world." ”

Wan Zhang was stunned for a moment, it seems that he is too careful, Xie Yan has always been very attentive to himself, and he will not make any careless moves, but he ...... When did you become so small-bellied and stingy?

Don't think about it for the time being, just say that at the moment, it seems a little difficult to get her to take back what she said and slap herself in the face.

Fortunately, Xie Yan was always very caring, and quickly found her a step down:

"This step shakes jade more than gold, because I know that you love Yayu more than vulgar gold, and the carving is much more elegant and delicate than the ordinary sale, it is very suitable for you, can you wear it?"

Wan Zhang saw him holding a step shake and looking at himself with a smile, Ruifeng was affectionate, elegant and moving, he couldn't answer for a while, just now when he saw this step shake, he only felt happy, but he didn't expect it to contain so much of his thoughts, it is by no means a vulgar thing, it is inevitable to be moved, and he understands in his heart that this is Xie Yan's gentleness, he will not force people too much, knowing his child's temperament, he will always give himself a step down when it is suitable, in addition to being moved, there is a little tremor in his heart, nodding, it is considered a tacit approval.

So Xie Ergongzi got up, walked behind her, and even lifted his wide sleeves with great grace, and then slowly put on a jade step for her in front of the bronze mirror next to the mirror, with clear jade fingers and meticulous techniques.

Then facing Wanzhang in the mirror, the eyes of the two looked at each other in the extremely complicated bronze mirror of Jinhuabao, his voice was like the moon, and asked her:

"After receiving my gift, can you smile?"

Cast it with Qiong Yao, repay it with the smile of a beauty, and repay the bandits.

Always think it's good.

Wanzhang doesn't seem to understand Xie Yan's thoughts, and he doesn't seem to understand his own thoughts, obviously he can see other people's thoughts so thoroughly, but he doesn't know anything about himself.

But what if he accepted other people's things and smiled at him, so he smiled generously in the mirror, and he smiled too.

Then, Xie Yan said casually:

"When I was in Jiankang, my brothers said a lot, so that your name was known to my father, so when I returned home, my father also returned. Three days later, at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, my father asked to see you by name. ”

A smile froze on his face, and he felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and he couldn't move.

I see, I can be regarded as understanding, the reason why Xie Yan came back this time was so good to himself, and he gave himself gifts, it turned out that he was just playing a trick on himself, he was waiting for himself here, he didn't care about himself at all, in order to deceive himself in front of Xie An!

However, he has no self-control when he is soft on others, he knows himself too well, and he will give things out first as soon as he comes, so that he has no chance of refusing, which is really treacherous.

A black-bellied and intelligent young man, this link after link, interlocking, is really a good strategy.

Wan Zhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally could only die silently without any strength:

"Can I give you back?"

The result was naturally obvious, Xie Yan smiled like a flower, and Ruifeng's eyes raised: "No." ”

The light in her eyes was still affectionate, but it revealed cunning, and inside was the light of advanced wisdom that she couldn't fight to death.
