Wang Yun came to visit, and Guan Yan greeted him out of the door.

"Oh, Wang Situ came to the cold house today, and Yan Cheng is scared!" As soon as Guan Yan went out, he gave up his hand and said hello.

Wang Yun was dressed in a gray Confucian robe, looking very low-key.

"General Zuo, I didn't tell you first, and I came to disturb you, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, please!" Guan Yan turned to one side and welcomed Wang Yun into the mansion.

The two sat down separately, and Guan Yan ordered his subordinates to serve freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"What is the important reason why Lord Situ is here today?"

Wang Yun picked up the teacup, gently blew away the floating tea leaves, took a sip of fragrant tea, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Good tea!" ”

Then Wang Yun slowly put down the teacup, took out a small cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table: "Yesterday, Yun found a piece of jade, and I came to ask General Zuo to appreciate it!" ”

Connoisseur of jade? Guan Yan was a little puzzled, this Wang Yun suddenly brought jade to me to appreciate! It's not that close, is it? What's more, I don't know anything about jade, and I appreciate it!

Before Guan Yan could speak, Wang Yun slowly unfolded the palm-sized cloth bag from left to right.

When the last layer of silk cloth was unfurled, an emerald green jade bracelet appeared in front of me.

Wang Yun carefully held the jade bracelet and handed it to Guan Yan. Looking at Wang Yun's cautious appearance, Guan Yan was also infected, and took it with both hands cautiously.

Guan Yan raised the jade bracelet slightly, his eyes widened, and he looked at it carefully.

Wang Yun stroked his beard with a smile on his face, and after a while, he asked, "General Zuo, how is it?" ”

Guan Yan put down the jade bracelet with a confused expression, and smiled awkwardly at Wang Yun: "Lord Situ, Yan is really not familiar with this, and he doesn't see anything famous!" ”

When Wang Yun heard this, he was shocked, and his right hand unconsciously exerted force, almost pulling his beard off.

"This ...... General Zuo, hehe...... "Wang Yun didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh a few times, trying to think of a way to resolve the embarrassment.

Guan Yan also felt very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Lord Situ, the name of one of Yan's subordinates is called Xi Zhicai, this person is well-versed in the past and the present, and he is very knowledgeable, he must understand the way of this golden stone!" Why don't you let them come and appreciate it? ”

Wang Yun came over today to do what he wanted to do, and he was about to use this jade bracelet to make a fuss, but he didn't expect Guan Yan to know anything. As soon as he heard Guan Yan's proposal, Wang Yun hurriedly nodded and agreed.

After a while, Xi Zhicai hurriedly came, and when he saw Wang Yun sitting on the side, Xi Zhicai first saluted Guan Yan and said, "What did the lord call me?" ”

Guan Yan didn't answer, but pointed at Wang Yun and said, "Come on, come on, this is Wang Situ, Mr. Xi will see it quickly!" ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he saluted Wang Yun and said, "Meet Wang Situ!" ”

Wang Yun picked up Xi Zhicai: "Sir, don't be polite!" ”

After Xi Zhicai got up, Guan Yan pulled Xi Zhicai to the table and said, "Zhicai can understand the way of gold and stone?" ”

"A little bit of it!"

"Good!" Guan Yan handed the jade bracelet to Xi Zhicai and said, "Come, you come to see this bracelet!" ”

Xi Zhicai picked up the jade bracelet, and looked at it carefully through the sunlight cast by the sky.

After a while, Xi Zhicai twisted the jade bracelet with two fingers, gently knocked on the tabletop, and listened attentively for a moment. Then he sprinkled some of Guan Yan's tea and dripped it on the jade bracelet.

This series of actions made Guan Yan look in a fog, and he didn't know what it meant! But Wang Yun was surprised in his eyes.

Finally, Xi Zhicai put the jade bracelet back on the silk cloth, nodded and said: "This bracelet has a translucent jade body, luster and oil." Listening to the sound of jade is crisp and pleasant, touching the jade body is cold and lubricated, the water gathers and dew, and condenses on it, and does not disperse for a long time, it is really a good jade, a good bracelet! ”

Wang Yun nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Xi really knows the way of gold and stone!" ”

What should be praised is also praised, Guan Yan hurriedly held this treasure in front of Wang Yun with both hands and asked him to take it back, but Wang Yun stretched out his hand to push, shook his head and said: "General Zuo, Yun Zheng wants to dedicate this bracelet to the general." ”

Xi Zhicai frowned, stared at Wang Yun with burning eyes and smiled: "Situ this bracelet is worth 10,000 gold, such a heavy gift, my lord is afraid that it is not appropriate to receive it!" ”

Saying that, Xi Zhicai secretly gave Guan Yan a look, Guan Yan understood, and waved his hand and said: "Situ is too polite, no merit is not punished, how dare Yan accept such a heavy gift from Situ?" ”

Wang Yun said indifferently: "When General Zuo got married, Yun never congratulated him in person because of important matters, so he often felt guilty!" Since he got this bracelet, Yun thought about sending it to the general day and night, so as to confess his sin! What's more, the old man and Cai Weng are ministers in the same court, and his daughter is married, and before he has given a congratulatory gift, this bracelet will be given to Zhao Ji, what does General Zuo think? ”

For Cai Yan? Guan Yan was a little moved, but is this considered a bribe to the family? Does Old Man Wang have something to ask for?

Looking at Guan Yan's hesitant appearance, Wang Yun seemed to see through Guan Yan's heart, and said with a slight smile: "General Zuo, this bracelet is given to Zhao Ji, it is a gift from the elders to the younger generations, and there is no other thought!" Rest assured, General! ”

After saying this, Xi Zhicai nodded slightly at Guan Yan, and Guan Yan said: "In this case, I will call Zhao Ji out first, if she likes it, then I will be cheeky to put this bracelet under my hands!" ”

Wang Yun nodded again and again: "That's very good!" ”

Guan Yan commanded the servant, "Please come out, Madame!" ”

After a while, Cai Yan, dressed in goose yellow silk clothes, came out of the back hall.

Although Guan Yan and Cai Yan are frolicking in private, they are completely an intimate couple. But in front of people, Cai Yan must pretend to be a wife who abides by women's morals.

Women's morality is based on the principles of "distinction between inside and outside" and "male superiority and inferiority of women", and the Confucian etiquette and religion regulate women's moral, behavior, and cultivation throughout their lives.

One of the most important and well-known is the "three obedience and four virtues".

The three virtues are unmarried from the father, married from the husband, and the husband from the son, and the four virtues are women's morality, women's words, women's appearance, and women's merit.

Since she is married to her husband, Cai Yan must show enough obedience to Guan Yan in front of others, so that she will not be accused by others!

Cai Yan walked into the hall, and the first thing he saluted was Guan Yan: "Husband! ”

Cai Yan was a wife for the first time, and Guan Yan was still in the "honeymoon" period, usually greasy and crooked, why was it so formal?

Guan Yan smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Cai Yan, grabbed his soft and boneless hand and said, "This is Wang Yun Wang Situ, who is familiar with his father-in-law!" ”

Wang Yun's name Cai Yan once heard Cai Yong say, Cai Yong once commented on Wang Yun, "If you are stubborn and self-serving, you will not die well!" ”

Therefore, when Guan Yan mentioned that the person in front of him was Wang Yun, Cai Yan was stunned, but immediately returned to normal, and said, "Lord Situ!" ”

Wang Yun hurriedly said, "Madam, please get up!" ”

After seeing the ceremony, Guan Yan picked up the jade table on the table and put it in Cai Yan's hand: "Zhao Ji, try whether you like this bracelet or not!" ”
