Chapter 9: A Stone
But what good is it for him to do so?
Li Yanran shook her head incomprehensibly, forget it I still don't guess, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, anyway, her reputation is not very good, and she is not afraid of another one.
When Li Yanran came to the front hall, everyone had already arrived, she paced two steps quickly, and then sat down at the table.
From the moment she came in, she quietly took care of the dishes by herself, listening to them talk about each other, and rarely participated in it.
"Sister, why is it so quiet today?"
"It seems that today's meal is very appetizing, come, eat more."
Li Anran sandwiched the dish into Li Yanran's bowl.
Although Li Anran hates her very much, she is always an actor in front of outsiders, playing the role of a good sister.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yanran is an ignorant and unreasonable troublemaker.
Li Yanran had seen all this clearly, but she was too lazy to debunk it.
Li Yanran was still eating the rice in the bowl, without even raising her head, let alone looking at her.
"Well, today's meal is so delicious, I couldn't eat it in the past, it seems that I really borrowed the light of this Ji Gongzi."
Li Yanran said as she naturally put the dishes that Li Anran had put into her bowl on the plate next to her.
But everyone saw it.
Li Anran was a little embarrassed, his angry lips were trembling, and then he tried to squeeze out a smile, looked at Ji Wenjun and said, "I heard that Ji Gongzi specially called our sisters here, I don't know what the so-called matter?" ”
It turned out that it wasn't specifically called her, but the two of them together!
Li Yanran's chewing action paused, glanced at Ji Wenjun, then retracted her gaze, and continued to pick up the rice in the bowl.
Ji Wenjun changed into a dark green robe tonight, her hair was half pulled up, and she was fixed with a jade crown. Xu has an expression on his face tonight, which makes people look much softer.
"I was able to get my mother's relics back today, thanks to the eldest lady, who was willing to return the pearl hairpin."
"Gu Qing, bring me the gifts I prepared for the two young ladies!"
Gu Qing immediately presented two boxes.
Li Anran opened the box, and inside was a wind-bird flower-patterned hairpin composed of two hairpins. The bottom is slender and gilded, and the whole part of the hairpin is composed of blue flowers and bird shapes, and it is also delicately inlaid with several rubies.
This is much more valuable than the one she gave to Ji Wenjun, and Li Anran couldn't hide her joy on her face.
"Second Miss, you might as well open the box and take a look, do you like it or not?" Ji Wenjun's dark eyes looked at Li Yanran.
Li Anran also stared at her box curiously.
Since she didn't demolish her, she also gave a gift, Li Yanran was very gracious.
After opening the box, Li Yanran was dumbfounded: "What the hell, it turned out to be ......
Is it a mockery to give her a stone, to have no shape, to have no color? ”
Li Yanran angrily closed the box and pushed it aside.
Li Anran, who was on the side, saw it and laughed out loud.
"Ji Gongzi, what does this mean?"
"Second Miss, don't think that this is an ordinary stone, in fact, there is a mystery in it, in the next piece of mind, please collect it well!" Ji Wenjun explained.
She really didn't help him in recovering his mother's relics, and the gift could not be given, but why did he send a stone, he wanted to humiliate her on the spot? Li Yanran really didn't understand his intentions.
"Well, since Ji Gongzi has a heart, I must collect it well!" Li Yanran officially smirked.
"Oh, by the way, tomorrow is the Flower Dynasty Festival, I heard that Ji Gongzi is really good at poetry, wine and tea, I wonder if Ji Gongzi has time, and he will go to the suburbs with us tomorrow?"
Li Anran looked at Ji Wenjun, his eyes were full of expectation.
"Okay, let's go together." Ji Wenjun agreed, then looked at Li Yanran and asked, "Second Miss will also go, right?" ”
"That's nature." Without waiting for Li Yanran to reply, Li Anran hurriedly mentioned that she agreed.
After dinner, Li Yanran ate a little bit and began to wander around the courtyard.
It had just rained, and the scent of flowers in the courtyard was accompanied by a fresh, earthy smell.
Unconsciously, Li Yanran walked to a corner of the garden, and what caught her eye was a swing made of a simple wooden board that was tied with iron chains on both sides and connected in the middle.
It was when she was thirteen years old, Ling Xuan came to the house to do it for her, and then whenever she had something to worry about or was sad, she would bring Ping'er here, and many years had passed, and she hadn't been here for a long time.
At night, the weather was a little cold, coupled with the light was very dim, the swing under the moonlight was slightly swayed by the wind a few times, and she stood there alone, slightly lonely.
"Miss......" I saw Ping'er holding a coat in her hand and running towards this side from the door of the annex.
Hearing Ping'er's voice, Li Yanran shook her head.
Ping'er put her coat on her and pouted: "Miss, it's so late, why did you come here, Ping'er is looking for you everywhere." ”
Then he said, "It's cold, and you don't know how to add more clothes."
"Oops, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me!"
"Let's go, tomorrow's flower festival, go back and prepare, and tomorrow I will take you to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers."
Ping'er grinned happily when she heard it.
She naturally won't be interested in the Flower Dynasty Festival, in previous years, she refused directly, and this time it's the same, as long as she doesn't want to go, no one can force her.
It's just that I'm bitter, I've been standing at the door with my eyes all these years, watching others talk and laugh when they come back from the festival, but I only have envy.
So, that's why she didn't refuse at the dinner table just now.
In the other room, Gu Qing frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why did Childe give that meteorite to the second lady today?" ”
Seeing that Ji Wenjun didn't reply, she paused and said worriedly: "In case that meteorite falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives......
Without waiting for him to finish, Ji Wenjun replied calmly: "I have my own arrangements!" ”
Gu Qing shook his head helplessly, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Ji Wenjun sat at the table, stroking the edge of the teacup back and forth with one hand, thinking of tomorrow's flower festival, she couldn't help but hook her lips and smile.
