Chapter 25: Selfishness
Forgetting is not forgetting.
Yan Qian has taken what he said to heart since she met Xie Chen that day.
Although it happened to be in time for the rainy weather, it was inconvenient for her to go out, but there were many people in the house, and for a few taels of silver, some people were scrambling to do things for her.
The silver ticket that Xie Chen brought that day, when he left, he didn't take it with him.
Yan Juan wanted to return it to her again, but the person she sent to return the silver ticket didn't even see Xie Chen's face at all, and Xie Chen also asked someone to call her back, there was no reason to recycle the things he sent, if Yan Juan really didn't want it, then it was okay to throw it to anyone, as long as it wasn't sent to him.
He has talked to this point, what else can Yan Wan do!
I had to accept it for the time being, and then it seems that I will have a chance to give it back in the future.
But now she spends Xie Chen's silver ticket, hires people from her own house, and goes back and forth between Yan Mansion and Xie Mansion every day, just to get Xie Chen's news at any time.
Even if the letter sent by Xie Chen every day only reads the word 'nothing', Yan Juan will feel much more relieved when she sees it.
However, when Yan Juan opened the letter of the past few days, she was always a little uneasy in her heart.
The pen and ink on the paper have long since dried up, and at first glance it is not newly written.
She knows Xie Chen.
Back then, in Ganlu Temple, the two had not yet known each other, and they had never seen Xie Chen perfunctory her, not to mention that they had known each other for nearly ten years now, and they had long regarded each other as family.
In this way, how could Xie Chen use the pen and ink he wrote before to perfunctory things for no reason.
"Where's today's reply?"
Yan Juan had lunch, and the sunlight outside the house pierced through the dark clouds, and the faintly revealed light made the whole world much brighter.
Days of rainy weather are finally coming to an end, and in a few days, it will be a long time of bright sunshine.
Yan Qian read Xie Chen's letter on the one hand, and read that the weather had improved, and she should also put the conversation with Cheng Huan on the agenda, otherwise she would not see her actions for a long time, and as a result, Chang Ruyi would have the upper hand first, which would really make people wonder what to do.
Yu Nong listened to Yan Juan's question, and her heart was also quite anxious.
The little guy who went to Xie Mansion this morning set off at the same time as a few days ago, and even a quarter or two hours earlier. If he had calculated according to his previous steps, he should have returned home with Xie Chen's letter a long time ago.
But I don't know how I came today, and the people arranged by Yunong at the gate of the mansion have never been able to see the figure of the little guy.
After waiting for a long time, no one returned.
Yu Nong said, "Girl, Young Master Xie's letter hasn't been delivered yet!" ”
"I thought that the notes of the past two days were enough to be perfunctory, but I didn't think that there could be anything more powerful."
Yan Juan stood up, not very happy in her heart.
When the words came to his lips, they turned into questions.
"Did you say something happened to Xie Chen, so he didn't even have time to write that kind of concise note?"
At this time, Yuqi stepped through the door.
said: "Girl, the carriage you ordered yesterday is ready now, should we go directly to the Cheng family's house to find Young Master Cheng now?" ”
There are many people in the city, and if you accidentally let someone see your girl running to Cheng's house, you don't know how to arrange the rumors outside!
Therefore, the girl had a carriage prepared in advance without any signs.
But wherever people can see the calendar, Yuqi has found someone to change things, and there is really no way to replace it, so find a way to cover it up with other things, and finally get the results today.
Going to Cheng's house, Yan Juan had already made plans early in the morning.
Finally, when the weather cleared, she should have put her earlier plans into practice sooner.
So now across her, there are two choices.
One is to put Cheng Huan, that is, things related to Chang Ruyi aside, and go to Xie Mansion first, no matter how you say it, you have to confirm that Xie Chen is safe and sound.
Another one!
is to go first and ignore Xie Chen, and always put those battles that are as usual in the first place.
The sun was falling, the cold wind was rising, and it was soon approaching dusk.
After coming out of the courtyard, they were already sitting in the carriage, and Yan Juan had not yet made a decision.
The coachman who was driving the car outside raised his horsewhip, and the void twitched, and he asked in a low voice, "Where are you going today, girl?" ”
The girl used to go out, going back and forth many times, and there was only one place to go to Ganlu Temple.
The coachman thought that his question today should be the same nonsense as before, and that the girl in the carriage would only tell him to go out of the city later.
But he heard Yan Juan say, "Go to Cheng...... Forget it, let's go straight to Xie Mansion! ”
Yan Juan waited at home for a long time, waited and waited, and did not wait for the little guy who went out of Yan Mansion, but waited for someone from Jinxiufang in the middle of the afternoon.
The person who came was the lady Wang she had seen in the Splendid Workshop.
The princess brought new clothes, and the fabrics were of excellent quality, and the gold and silver threads were not adulterated at all.
Jinxiufang is worthy of being rated as the first shop in Jinguancheng, and their embroidery skills are also excellent, not only all the details of Yan Juan's painting on the picture scroll are made, but also made extraordinarily good-looking.
Just looking at the clothes, she could already imagine how graceful Xie Chen would be after wearing them.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Wang came at the right time.
It just happened to give Yan Juan a reason to visit Xie Chen.
After making a decision, Yan Wan leaned lazily on the carriage.
Is it because there is no way for the dead to be compared with the living after all, so she decisively chose the second option between teaching Chang Ruyi and visiting Xie Chen?
She sneered, suddenly feeling extremely despicable.
Yu Nong looked at her own girl with ridicule written all over her face in confusion.
He whispered to her, "Girl, what did you think of?" ”
I always feel that the current girl looks a little weird!
"I just suddenly saw myself clearly," Yan Wan shook her head, "I used to think that I was different from Chang Ruyi, but now it seems that there is actually no difference." ”
"It's all the same selfishness, the only difference is probably that she is very obvious, and I hid it very well in the past, so that no one else can see it."
"Why would the girl think that?"
Yu Nong approached Yan Wan and began to suspect the maids in their yard.
Could it be that they chewed the root of their tongue in private, and they happened to be listened to by the girl, so that their girls got into the horns of the bull at this time.
Yan Juan: "I said more than a month ago that I would do something to Chang Ruyi, and I would never let her really get what she wanted, but you can see what I have really done in the past month or so." ”
"Obviously, I had the opportunity to find Cheng Huan today, but I finally decided to go to Xie Mansion, on the surface, I regarded the birthday gift as an extremely important matter, but you and I both know that it is just an excuse."
The excuse for this kind of thing is just to make them look better on the surface.
Even if there is no excuse, Yan Juan's final choice will be Xie Chen.
The accumulation of hatred day after day has long been a commonplace for her.
But there are very few people like Xie Chen who are good to her.
She has lost the best brother in the world, and for the rest of her life, she doesn't want to lose other important people or things.
