Chapter Twenty-Seven: Giving Gifts
As soon as she entered the house, Yan Juan was stuffed with a delicate and small hand warmer by Xie Chen, and the steaming tea was also brought to her.
In the corner was a newly lit brazier, and the scarlet charcoal fire was burning as hard as it could, adding a lot of warmth to the room.
The warmth on the face made people drowsy.
Xie Chen raised his sleeve to cover his face, yawned, and looked at Yan Qian again, with a slight glint in his eyes.
At first glance, if you don't have a good rest at night, you will look particularly sleepy during the day.
"It's not like you're joking, it's hard to come to the door, but what do you have to say?"
As for the previous magpie or something, let's ignore it.
Yan Wan beckoned behind him, and Yu Nong quickly stepped forward with his baggage.
The bag is naturally the clothes she made in the brocade workshop, and Yan Wan originally planned to find a good-looking wooden box to put her clothes, but such a whim did not come true in the end.
Who let her in her own private vault, how can she not find the right kind of wooden box.
I went to the carpenter temporarily, but it took too much time, so I had to pack it with baggage.
"Your birthday was spent in the capital this year, and I didn't know where you lived at that time, so I didn't give you a birthday gift, and I thought I would make up for it later."
Yan Wan smiled and said: "Although this dress is not made by me, the style of the clothes is drawn by me, and the fabric used to make the clothes is also selected by me, and rounding can be regarded as my own hand." ”
Hearing the last four-character idiom, Xie Chen raised his hand and patted the top of Yan Xuan's head, laughing at her: "You are really ...... narrow"
Others don't know why, but there are some allusions to 'rounding' in them.
Xie Chen has a cousin named Xie Mian, who is as his name suggests, and he is particularly diligent in his studies.
After Xie Mian was promoted in the examination, his family told him a family affair and married a girl from the world's friendship family.
The two of them are very affectionate, and Xie Mian also has a little problem of showing off his wife, but he will not show off to strangers, and there are not many people close to him who can listen to him show off, Xie Chen happens to be one of them.
Once, Xie Mian took his wife Li Yunsu to Ganlu Temple to offer incense, and happened to meet Xie Chen and Yan Juan.
Near noon, the few of them originally planned to ask the monks in the temple to bring some food, after all, the food in Ganlu Temple is famous far and wide, and it is even better than the food in many restaurants in the city.
But Xie Mian's way of showing off his wife is all-encompassing.
He told Xie Chen that his wife was good at cooking, and told him and Yan Juan to come and try his wife's craftsmanship without fasting today.
When Xie Mian took Xie Chen to Yan Juan and Li Yunsu and told him his plan, Yan Mian clearly saw that Li Yunsu's face was almost dark.
In fact, there are a few women like them who really know how to wash their hands and make soup, aren't they all standing in the kitchen, opening their mouths and pointing at the cook!
Yan Juan still remembered the way Li Yunsu pulled Xie Mian aside to speak, she and Xie Chen both knew this, and they didn't take it seriously.
It's just that Xie Mian specially found Xie Chen, saying that the tools used by the chef to cook are pots and pans, like when his wife cooks, he just treats people as tools, and rounding off should also be counted as cooking by himself, and his wife is a good girl, and it is not that he is talking nonsense.
Therefore, later, 'rounding' became a default allusion between Xie Chen and Yan Juan.
Xie Chen looked at the clothes sent to him, there were four of them, dark and light.
He took the garment and said, "The garment you 'made' is naturally excellent, I'll try one first, I'm sure I'll like it." ”
The person went to the direction of the inner room with his clothes, and there were only three Yan Wan masters and servants left in the hall.
Yan Wan turned her head to look at Yu Nong and asked, "Just now, did he have red eyes?" ”
Where can Yu Nong observe so carefully.
She thought for a while and replied, "I saw Young Master Xie yawning, maybe he didn't sleep well last night, and his eyes are red today?" ”
There is a feeling that the donkey's lips are not in the horse's mouth.
Her reply and Yan Juan's question are actually not so related.
Yan Wan shook her head, and was not ready to tell Yunong about whether Xie Chen was red-eyed, she slapped the table and said, "I suddenly remembered, before entering Xie Mansion just now, did you see auspiciousness?" ”
Jixiang is the little guy who goes back and forth between Yan Mansion and Xie Mansion every day, delivering messages for Yan Juan and Xie Chen.
He has only one child at home, but his father and mother are sick in bed, and he has to spend a lot of money just to take medicine every day, and the monthly money in Yanfu alone is not a big deal at all, so he often has to find ways to earn money when he is resting.
It just so happened that he and Yu Nong were still a little close, so Yan Juan gave him the errand of delivering the letter after knowing that there was such a person as him.
Yu Nong and Yu Qi looked at each other in pairs, they only remembered following the girl before, and they didn't notice that there were other people at the door of Xie Mansion.
Yan Qian sighed, knowing that the two of them didn't pay attention to that, so she was a little entangled: "Before I went out, I was worried that something might happen to Xie Chen, so I couldn't reply. But as you saw just now, he didn't look like he was in trouble, at least not because he couldn't pick up a pen and write, so now it's auspicious to worry about. ”
Because she was surrounded by her own people, Yan Juan also said it bluntly.
"If he neglects his duties, on the surface he is here to get the letter, but in fact he runs elsewhere, it is not a big deal, at most he will not be asked to do things next time, but if something else happens, then it will be ......"
The security of Jinguancheng has always been very good, but no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
Yu Nong clenched his fists in his sleeves, there are many people who want to do things for the girl, and Jixiang is only because of his relationship with her, so he can stand out among the crowd. Now that he is not doing things well, let alone the things that have been handed over to him, he can't even find a figure.
This made Yu Nong particularly angry.
That's right, there is no possibility of Jixiang having an accident in Yunong's heart, and she directly decided that Jixiang was dereliction of duty.
So the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
Not only couldn't raise her face in front of the girl, but also because she consciously lived up to the girl's expectations.
Then he said: "Don't worry, girl, I'll go out to find him, if he is guarding outside the door, it's fine, if not, I will turn Jinguancheng upside down, and I will find him out." ”
She ran out angrily, and the jade chess on the side couldn't pull her.
Yan Wan said to Yu Nong that the wind is the temper of the rain, and she was also very helpless.
"If something really happens to Jixiang's side, what use can she do if she breaks through alone?"
She looked at the road leading to the inner room, Xie Chen was still changing clothes, and she hadn't come out at this time, so she didn't want to go in to find him at this time.
He said to Yuqi: "You hurry up and catch up, if you see auspiciousness at the door, then everyone will naturally be happy." If you don't see it, you tell Yu Nong not to worry, tell the coachman about it, and ask him to go back to the house and bring all the people to find someone, but don't let Yu Nong run around alone, don't let her have an accident. ”
