The two brothers and sisters of the Zeng family can pretend to be confused before He Zhi's words, so as to give a good impression, but He Zhi is not the kind of brazen person who even has to borrow flowers from the other party's family to offer Buddha for the birthday gift of the uncle.

On this trip, He Shangshu was afraid that his daughter would suffer on the road, so he gave a lot of entanglements for He Zhi to take, and Mrs. He even stuffed a lot of private rooms for her. If you want to say that this jade pendant, He Zhi naturally can't afford it, and she still needs others to buy it as a gift, she raised her head and wanted to shirk Zeng Mohan's kindness and then pay for it herself, but found that Wei Lai on the side looked a little wrong.

He Zhi is a keen person, and her beautiful eyes turned slightly and found the crunch - the growth environment between her and Wei Lai is too different, Wei Lai's family has a few acres of thin fields to ensure that food and clothing are excellent, but she grew up in fine clothes and jade food. Two thousand taels was almost unimaginable for Wei Lai, but for her, it was just a number.

Yin Hong's lips pursed slightly, He Zhi put down the jade pendant in her hand with a faint expression, and she smiled slightly: "It's just to see, but I don't like it much, and Mo Han doesn't have to be so polite." After all, you and I have been playmates for many years, and such politeness can be regarded as an outcome. ”

Although this is a nice statement, it is actually a bit rejective. Zeng Mohan was not stupid, he immediately frowned in annoyance, and only blamed himself for being anxious and abrupt.

Wei Lai saw He Zhi doing this, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I have to say that when Zeng Mohan said that she wanted to buy the jade pendant and give it to He Zhi, her heart was actually not very comfortable. Because at that moment, she deeply felt the gap between herself and these people, and she and He Zhi were not as close as she imagined.

Fortunately, He Zhi chose to refuse, and chose to worry about Wei Lai's feelings and save Wei Lai's face.

"Since you can't look down on this jade pendant, then Ah Zhi looks at these jade ornaments, but what else can catch your eyes?" Zeng Mohan seemed to want to remedy something, and spoke again.

He Zhi glanced at a few jade ornaments on the tray, the things were not good, but they should be considered good in this small city of Yuzhou. It's just a pity that she wasn't ready to buy it, so she shook her head lightly at the moment.

"In that case, let's go look elsewhere." Zeng Mohan was simply there.

The shopkeeper had a bitter face when he heard this, and finally came to such a group of "distinguished guests", but he left without buying anything? He was obviously a little unwilling, and seeing that the person hadn't left yet, he hurriedly said: "Eh, this young lady, if you really like this jade pendant, I can sell you cheaper, how about 1,500 taels?" ”

He Zhi shook his head lightly, with a faint smile on his face: "Thank you for the shopkeeper, but you don't have to." ”

When Wei Lai heard this, he secretly bared his teeth, thinking that this store was simply a black store. Before she could bargain properly, the shopkeeper reduced the price by 500 taels, which was twice as much as the house she bought in the capital a few days ago. If they really spent money to buy the jade pendant just now, they would really be wronged.

Out of the store, Zeng Mohan, who had already been identified by Wei Lai as the wronged leader, dutifully took a few people to walk around the street for a long time. It's just that this time He Zhi's mind doesn't seem to be here, and there is a lack of interest along the way, but Zeng Yuwei has taken a fancy to a lot of things, and bought a lot of big bags and small bags.

He Zhi saw that the time was almost up, so he said, "It's been a while since we came out, so let's go back to the house now." ”

Zeng Yuwei was a little unhappy, and pouted: "It's not even noon, it's early, what is Sister He doing when she goes back to the house so early." ”

He Zhi blinked when she heard this, but said with a smile: "I'm a little tired." If Yuwei is not yet happy, then it is better to let Mo Han accompany you, and Wei Lai and I will take the first step. ”

This is said simply, and it is impossible to refute it. Zeng Yuwei and Zeng Mohan glanced at each other, the brother and sister didn't say anything, but they didn't stay and continue shopping as He Zhi said, and finally went home with them.

Because He Zhi said that she was tired, He Zhi went directly back to the guest room after returning to the Taishou Mansion. Wei Lai and the Zeng brothers and sisters glanced at each other, they didn't have any friendship with each other, and naturally they didn't have anything to say, so they dispersed after a few polite words.

Wei Lai just went back to the room to drink a cup of tea, and then ran to He Zhi again.

Knocking on the door, He Zhi really didn't rest, and she didn't look surprised when she came, but smiled generously and said, "Come in and sit." ”

Wei Lai nodded, entered He Zhi's guest room, and consciously did not close the door. When the two of them sat down at the table and He Zhi lifted the teapot to pour tea for her, she asked, "Jin Rui, didn't you say that you were going to prepare a congratulatory gift?" Tomorrow is Zeng's birthday, and if you don't prepare, I'm afraid it'll be a little late. ”

When He Zhi heard this, she was not half anxious, she poured tea for Wei Lai unhurriedly, and only after putting down the teapot did she say, "It's okay, I have already asked Xi Qiu to fetch it." ”

Let Xi Qiu pick it up? What to take? Was the jade pendant that Miss He fell in love with before? Wei Lai was a little inexplicable at the same time, but also because he remembered the expensive jade pendant, his heart was a little delicate.

He Zhi obviously noticed the slight changes in Wei Lai's expression, she didn't explain anything, she just sat back and waited for Xi Qiu to come back.

Sure enough, after a while, Xi Qiu returned. It's just that what she is holding in her hand is not the jade pendant that Wei Lai thought, but she hugged the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the like.

The guest room of the Taishou Mansion is not bad, there is a small study room separated, there are no books in it, but there is a table case. After Xi Qiu came back with the ink, paper and inkstone, he went directly to the small study, and then arranged everything neatly with his hands and feet, and then said, "Miss, everything is ready." ”

Didn't you say that Xi Qiu went to pick up the congratulatory gift, what is this doing? Wei Lai was a little confused for a while, but He Zhi seemed to see through her thoughts, and smiled at the moment: "If Wei Lai is puzzled, you might as well take a look." ”

As long as it wasn't the other party's intentional aggressiveness, Wei Lai felt that he was actually quite comfortable getting along with He Zhi. At this moment, He Zhi whispered the invitation, and Wei Lai couldn't afford to refuse when he heard it, so he nodded immediately and responded with a "good".

The two got up and entered the small study one after the other. Because it is a guest room, the small study room is a little simple, but for He Zhi, today is just a table case.

At this moment, the table has been covered with white paper by Xi Qiu, and the pen and ink inkstones have also been put in their place, and a few Fluttershy have various colors of paint in them. When He Zhi and Wei Lai came in, Xi Qiu was grinding in the inkstone with an ink strip, and after a while, the thick ink was grinded.

Seeing such a posture, even if Wei Lai doesn't know Wenmo, he should know what He Zhi is going to do...... She couldn't help but glance sideways at He Zhi, she had heard that Miss He was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is this what she wants to see today?
