The day after Yan Juan came back, Yuqi, who had returned home to visit relatives, also returned.

Yuqi is the son of the Yan family, her father used to be the scholar of Master Yan, and was later released to be a steward, and now she and her mother take care of the shop under Yan Juan's name.

The shop used to be Mrs. Yan's dowry, so it was not in Jinguancheng, but in the capital.

When she came back, she also brought a letter to Yan Juan.

"The eldest young master said that he had received the letter from the young master, and said that he would come back in a few days, so the girl didn't have to worry."

Yuqi hadn't been back for a long time, and he didn't know about the rumors in the city.

But he also guessed that something must have happened in the city.

Otherwise, the eldest young master would not have written the letter, and he was still not at ease, and specially asked her to relay a paragraph.

Yan Juan took the letter, opened it and read it.

To her surprise, the eldest brother not only didn't think she should withdraw from the marriage in the letter, but also told her to stay away from Cheng Huan, just like Ah Zhao.

The eldest brother said that he admired Cheng Huan's talent and learning, and there was nothing wrong with him being a good friend. It's just that because of his personality, it's not suitable to turn people into his own family.

In short, after reading a letter, Yan Juan felt a little confused in the clouds.

Judging from the literal meaning alone, she seems to understand her eldest brother's words, just treat Cheng Huan as the son of a world friend, and get along with each other not far away, it is enough.

But if you look closely at his choice of words and sentences, I feel that something is not quite right.

At this time, Yan Juan didn't know that her father was preparing to take Cheng Huan as a righteous son, so she was very confused by the eldest brother's promise in the letter.

What do you mean that Cheng Huan will never be made to become their own family again?

Could it be that Cheng Huan, who took the initiative to ask for resignation, would go back on his word and bring up his marriage with her again?

Yan Juan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

But there is still a shallow shadow in her heart, maybe she can find someone to show Cheng Huan Xiangxiang, and when Cheng Huan sets up a marriage again and marries someone else, the eldest brother should no longer have such troubles!

The letter paper was stacked back together and placed neatly in the letterbox.

Yan Juan handed the letter box to Yu Qi beside him: "You put this back in its place, and then ask Yu Nong to bring the box I brought back from Ganlu Temple." ”

Soon, Yu Nong came over with Yu Qi, and brought a rosewood box.

The square wooden box has a natural texture and fine carving, which is already a rare boutique in itself.

Yu Nong and Yu Qi followed behind Yan Juan, and they had also seen a lot of good things, looking at the box at this time, they couldn't help but guess how precious the contents of the contents should be.

Soon, Yan Juan opened the wooden box and took out a string of Buddhist beads from it.

The peach wood beads are polished and smooth, and each bead is engraved with words, worn into a string, and all the words together are a scripture.

How others choose gifts, Yan Juan can't say well.

But these people she met, the gifts she gave her, every year are a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

For example, her father, since she said that she liked the green jade pony given by her father, so every time she brought her gifts were all kinds of green jade ponies, the Bogu shelf in her room could no longer be placed, and some of them were sent to the warehouse.

And the Buddha beads were given by Xie Chen.

Many years ago, Yan Juan had just come into contact with Buddhism, and when she learned that there was such a great work as the Sutra of the Past Lives, she wanted to be a little monk behind the great monk.

Not to mention whether the Yan family will agree, only the great monk himself will not agree.

But Yanwan was an extremely stubborn little girl when she was a child, and even if everyone else disagreed, it was impossible to change her mind.

The great monk was unwilling to shave her, so she secretly found a dagger, cut off her long hair, and asked Xie Chen for help, and the two shaved each other's heads.

I have to mention here that when Xie Chen was young, he was already very powerful.

He could shave Yan Juan's hair without hurting Yan Wan at all, and Yan Wan couldn't do this.

When the great monk led people to find Yan Juan and Xie Chen, who were hiding, Yan Juan became a small bald head, but the remaining Xie Chen still had half of his hair, and the other shaved side was scarred, which looked a little shocking.

However, even if both of them became little bald heads in the end, the big monk still adhered to his previous ideas and was indifferent to Yan Juan's efforts.

If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain.

Yan Juan found someone to make several sets of monk's clothes for herself, and the Buddhist beads for the little monk were nowhere to be found, so Xie Chen secretly planed the chair legs in the room and used a dagger to cut out a string of Buddhist beads for her, with no patterns or lettering, just an ordinary string of beads.

Although Yan Juan later gave up the idea of being a little monk, Xie Chen had already developed the habit of giving her a string of Buddhist beads every year.

From the ordinary beads in the early years to the engraved scriptures today, Xie Chen's carving skills are becoming more and more exquisite.

took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist and replaced them with the new one, Yan Wan shook his hand and asked the maid next to him: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Of course, no one would say it wasn't pretty.

The old string, along with the previous strings of Buddhist beads, were all put into the bedside cabinet by Yan Juan.

She has many things that are dear to her, and they are all placed here.

Yan Juan wrapped the Buddha beads around her wrist, and suddenly remembered that Xie Chen was in the capital when she was born this year, and because the mountains were high and the road was far away, and she didn't know where he lived in Beijing, she didn't have time to give it to him.

Now that someone else has returned, perhaps they can make up for the gift.

She looked at Yuqi: "The picture scroll of Li Guangchong that I got earlier, was it placed in the warehouse?" ”

Li Guangchong is one of Xie Chen's favorite poets, he is most famous for his poems, lyrics and songs, in fact, he can also be revered as a grandmaster in his paintings, but his paintings are not many in the world, and most of the ones that can be easily found are imitations.

And if the imitation can have one or two points of his style, it can be called a masterpiece.

The painting in Yan Juan's hand was also obtained by chance.

In fact, Yan Wan got an imitation at the beginning.

If it weren't for the fact that her father also liked Li Guangchong, and saw at a glance that the imitation was actually a mystery, he found someone to remove the imitation painting on the outside of the scroll, revealing the real product inside.

After all, where would the average person think that the real thing is actually hidden under the imitation!

Although the gift that Yan Juan prepared for Xie Chen earlier was not this, since she got this painting later, and Xie Chen happened to return to Jinguan City, it was okay to give it to him.

As for her daddy.

There are already several paintings of Li Guangchong's words in the study of the left and right fathers, and it doesn't matter if this one is missing.

Who called Xie Chen is not a pair!

She had already planned to go to the carpenter and order a beautiful wooden box to hold this priceless picture.

Who would have thought that the painting was no longer in her storeroom!

Yuqi reminded her in a low voice: "Girl, you forgot, last time the master came back drunk and sent someone to ask you for a painting, you didn't say a word at the time, so you asked the slave maid to go to the treasury and take the painting to the master." ”

"What the master wanted at that time is the painting you are talking about now."

It's a little annoying.

Yan Juan suddenly remembered that she hadn't heard Cheng Huan's name on the day she came to the door, but she had actually heard it earlier.

Now that I think about it, isn't it the time when her father was drunk!

Who did Master Yan get drunk with at that time, Yan Juan didn't know, but she knew how he took a painting from her after he got drunk, and then gave it to others with a blank eye.

At that time, Ah Zhao also went to her to complain about her grievances.

Even if Daddy is drunk, he is also reading someone else's child, and he doesn't praise him for being good.

Yan Juan frowned, the child of someone else's family in Ah Zhao's mouth was the person who gave the painting to his father, that is, Cheng Huan.
