"By the way, I also brought a few masters back from the capital this time, one of them is very good at embroidery, if you are interested, you can go to my house to discuss it with her one day." Xu Qingyan said.

"Really." Li Xiaohan's eyes lit up: "I must go, except for my mother, I haven't seen anyone else who can embroider." ”

Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "In addition, several other masters also have their own skills, they all came out of the palace, if you can learn these skills, you can definitely use them for a lifetime." “

This proposal, Xu Qingyan is completely sincere, Li Xiaohan is her only friend at the beginning of the crossing, for which she cherishes it, and hopes that she can be happy for the rest of her life, and it is inconvenient to tell her about the art of cultivation, but if she can learn it, the things that are highly respected in this world will be a smooth road in the future.

"In the palace, is it the palace?" Li Xiaohan was attracted by these two words, and his eyes widened.

"Hmm," Xu Qingyan nodded.

"Ah, it's really the palace, Ayan, you have entered the palace, is the palace fun, what does the emperor look like, does it look particularly majestic?" Li Xiaohan was full of excitement.

For these peasant children, the emperor is no different from the immortals in the world.

"The palace" Xu Qingyan tilted her head and thought for a while: "There are many palaces in the palace, as well as pavilions and pavilions, rockery verandahs" Xu Qingyan picked up what she could say and described it to Li Xiaohan to satisfy her curiosity.

Li Xiaohan listened carefully with bright eyes.

After briefly telling what she had seen and heard in the palace, Xu Qingyan took out a small item from her satchel and said, "Oh, this is a gift I brought to you from the capital, you can open it and see if you like it."

"I like it, you're still thinking about bringing me something from so far away, Ayan, you're so nice." Li Xiaohan's eyes were red with emotion.

Xu Qingyan embarrassed her: "Fool, don't you always think about making clothes for me, and you fit and fit every time, you will definitely not succeed without a lot of effort, so let's not thank you, guess what this is for?" “

Li Xiaohan took it and looked at it carefully, a brown and black wooden box of about five inches, the wooden box was engraved with a delicate begonia flower pattern around it, and there were three small drawers below, Li Xiaohan smiled: "This should be used for jewelry." “

"That's right." Xu Qingyan said with a smile: "This is called a trick box and a makeup box, which is used to store earrings, bracelets and other things, and I also kept one myself, but the pattern is different, mine is a peach blossom picture." ”

In fact, as long as it is the daughter of the Xu family, she gave one by hand, but the pattern has its own merits, with the improvement of living standards, everyone in the family has one or two pieces of jewelry, so this gift is very popular.

"That's a good dare, I was worried about the silver cloves my mother bought for me a few days ago, and it was easy to lose them when wrapped in a handkerchief, so you sent timely rain." As he spoke, he looked up and down the box and said, "This thing looks very delicate, but it doesn't seem to be difficult to make, let my dad see it another day, maybe he can make it." ”

"Uncle Li's craftsmanship is good, it should be no problem, by the way, I came to find your father today, since he is not here, then you will help me transfer this piece of paper to him later, and let him make a hundred pieces according to the drawings first, the sooner the better."

"Okay, no problem." Li Xiaohan took it with a smile.

When she returned home, Xu Qingyan went back to her room, and just picked up the grass ball she brought in the afternoon, and was about to open it, when she heard Yahuan report that Miss Cousin was coming, so she had to put down the grass ball in her hand and go to see Hu Wenzhen.

As soon as the door opened, she saw Hu Wenzhen sitting under the grape trellis, and when she heard the sound of the door, she turned her head and called in a low voice: "Ayan." There was a bit of sentimentality in his tone.

Xu Qingyan was stunned, walked down the steps and said, "Cousin, what's wrong, what's going on" Obviously she was very happy yesterday, but how can she do it today

"He's engaged." Hu Wenzhen looked at the grape trellis and lost her mind.

"Who?" Xu Qingyan was stunned until she saw the wetness in Hu Wenzhen's eyes and reacted: "You mean Zhou Cong?" ”

The person who grew up with his cousin's childhood sweetheart and only came to the door to propose marriage after waiting for the marriage was really given up because of the separation of the family?

No way!

It stands to reason that it shouldn't, Xu Qingyan really can't figure it out, as the saying goes, a person gets the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, according to her current status, there should be many people who want to marry the Xu family, Zhongran's cousin is not surnamed Xu, but she is also the granddaughter of the Xu family.

"Where did you hear this, could you be mistaken?" Xu Qingyan said.

"No, when I went to the county with my father to sell tofu, Hu Wenli said it herself."

"You also believe what she said, did she still say that Zhou Cong was engaged to her."

"No, it's a different one."

This, it is really possible that Hu Wenli is not lying, because of her thoughts about Zhou Cong, it is really possible that Zhou Cong is engaged, she is stimulated, so she has to stimulate her cousin.

"And what's next for you?"

"What can I do" Hu Wenzhen smiled bitterly: Since he is engaged, there is no possibility between us, besides, I have been prepared for this matter for a long time, and now it is time to let go. ”

Now that I've put it down, I'm still coming to her

As if to see through Xu Qingyan's thoughts, Hu Wenzhen said, "I have something else to do with you?" ”

"What's the matter?"

As soon as these words were asked, she saw a person coming in at the courtyard gate, Xu Qingyan saw this, and hurriedly got up and called: "Third aunt." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xiulan responded, but her smile was a little reluctant.

"Mother, why are you here?" Hu Wenzhen asked.

"Your second uncle and they are here, and even your grandmother has brought them this time."

"What" Hu Wenzhen Huo Ran got up and said urgently: "Dad agreed." “

Xu Xiulan smiled bitterly: "I didn't come yet, but I guess your father won't be able to stop it for long, your second uncle said that if your father doesn't support your grandmother, he will go to the yamen to report it." “

"Just sue, I'm afraid he won't succeed." Hu Wenzhen said angrily: "At the beginning, it was clearly written on the separation documents, our big house was clean, and after the separation, the second elder followed the second room, and now it is a trouble." It's not like we're going to toss it if our family is better now. ”

Xu Xiulan sighed and said: "You don't understand when you are a mother, but the clerk is a clerk, your grandmother gave birth to your father after all, how can this blood relationship be broken by a piece of paper, and now your second uncle comes to cry poor, only saying that the second elder can't eat enough with them, if your father doesn't care, he will have to be poked in the backbone and scolded for not being filial, our family finally settled down here, if you are instructed by the villagers again, what can you do about the marriage of your brother and sister, and it is murderous, even with your grandmother and uncles have to be guided." ”

Xu Qingyan listened to it for so long, and she also understood the reason for the matter, and immediately said out: "Third aunt, people have a mouth, but it's not up to them to say anything, we can also refute it, let's go, I'll go with you to take a look, you can't let Hu Feng and them pour dirty water on you like this." “
