Because the news of He Hailan winning the double laurels in the poetry and chess meeting spread, the capital soon had the saying that the Marquis of Jin'an Mansion had cultivated the double laurels, which made Mrs. He quite happy after hearing it, and with a wave of her hand, the people in the treasury sent a lot of good things to He Hailan.
He Hailan saw the dazzling array of jewelry in the room, her eyebrows raised slightly, and after thanking her, she asked Bi'er and Bihe to carry them to the warehouse to lock them.
"Miss, don't you want to pick some to wear?" Bi'er looked at her young lady puzzled, doesn't the young lady like jewelry very much? Why doesn't she keep some of these beautiful hair accessories to wear outside?
He Hailan looked at those bead flowers, Bu Shao and Jin Hai, and pursed her lips, "Leave two bead flowers outside, and the others will be taken to the warehouse to be locked." β
Although she loves gold and silver jewelry, she really doesn't like to wear those things in her hair, which is really cumbersome.
Especially... In ancient times, there was no saying about cutting hair, so this hair was already very pressing, and if she wore so many jewels on her head, if she compressed her neck in the future, then her swan neck would be gone.
In the past half a month, He Hailan often received things from others, for example, that day, her eldest uncle knew that she had won the double laurels, and felt that she was talented, and sent her a lot of poems and books, and her cheap father also sent her a lot of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Thinking of this, He Hailan was a little melancholy, she really had a lot of gains in terms of material, but there was no gain at all in spiritual things, such as... She wanted to dream again to see why the original owner pushed the Yao family into the lake, but she never dreamed of it once, and she also asked Bi'er and them to inquire secretly, but there was no news at all.
Because the people who knew the original owner best before were Yao and Bi'er, these two people didn't know the reason, so I'm afraid only the original owner himself knew.
Therefore, she still doesn't know whether she should continue to investigate.
"Miss!" He Hailan was distracted, and Bihe hurriedly walked in from outside, "The county lord of Xici and Miss Li are here." β
He Hailan stood up and straightened her dress, and combed her hair again, "Please let them in." β
After a while, the county lord of Xici and Li Yueji walked in hand in hand, He Hailan greeted him and said with a smile, "What kind of wind blew the two of you here?" β
"It's not all because of you!" The county lord of Xici glared at He Hailan and snorted, "Then the Monkey King made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and attracted the Buddha, what happened after that?" β
He Hailan smiled, carrying the fruit tea brought by Bihe to pour tea for the two of them, "You guys are here to listen to my story?" β
"Not really." The county lord of Xici glanced at Li Yueji, "You are talking!" β
"Don't you have to go to the story meeting today?" Li Yueji took He Hailan's fruit tea and raised her eyebrows, "So I thought the three of us could go to the City God Temple outside the city to offer incense together, and take a break by the way." β
"Distracted?" He Hailan pushed the tea in front of the county lord of Xici, and looked at Li Yueji puzzled, "Are you in a bad mood?" β
"Where are we in a bad mood!" The county lord of Xici stared at He Hailan and said uncomfortably, "Obviously, you have been worried about it for half a month, and you have a deep face when you chat with us. β
He Hailan was stunned, so they said that they went to the City God Temple to let her relax?
He Hailan felt a slight warmth in her heart, and she got up, "You wait for me, I'll go and tell my grandmother." β
"No need." The county lord of Xici stood up, "I have already asked your grandmother before I came over, so you can go directly to the City God Temple with us, and you can just clean it up." β
"Then you don't have to clean it up." This is the first time she went out of the city to play after coming to the Ming and Yuan Dynasty, and the city god temple is the first time she has gone since she was a child.
"We'll be back tomorrow." The county lord of Xici pulled He Hailan, who was already excited to go out immediately, "I want to bring some clothes." β
He Hailan shouted, "Bi'er, clean up for me!" β
He Hailan, the county lord of Xici and Li Yueji were in a carriage, and the other carriage was the maid of the three.
He Hailan was excited all the way, and even lifted the curtain from time to time to see if he was out of the city.
Li Yueji, who was sitting in front of the chessboard studying Go, looked at He Hailan with a smile and said, "There is still a period of time before leaving the city, and there are at least two hours to go to the City God Temple, so don't keep watching, come and play a game of chess with me." β
He Hailan lowered the car curtain, glanced at Li Yueji, and raised her eyebrows, "Or drink?" β
Li Yueji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that He Hailan said to herself that day that day, we could eat, drink and have fun together in the future, but definitely don't be angry, she sneered and laughed, "Is it that serious?" β
He Hailan shrugged her shoulders, "Although we are women, we have to say that it is difficult to chase the horse." β
"What kind of chess to play, it's so boring." The county lord of Xici, who had been sitting next to him and dozing off, yawned and opened his eyes, "He Wu, you tell us a story!" β
He Hailan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I want to give money for telling stories, it's free, refuse!" β
The county lord of Xici choked, took out a jade pendant from his hand and handed it to He Hailan, "It's okay, right?" β
He Hailan glanced at the jade pendant of the county lord of Xici, raised her eyebrows slightly, took down the jade pendant on her waist, raised her eyebrows and said, "At a glance, you can know that my jade pendant is worth more than yours, one piece of jade pendant is enough, more is a burden, besides, this jade is safe, how can I ask for the only piece of jade on your body, you keep it yourself, take the silver." β
The county lord of Xici snatched back his jade, and took out the money bag to find the silver, "Are you disgusted that my jade is not valuable or do you want me to keep the jade for safety?" "A mina of silver was placed on the table.
"It's all there." He Hailan took the silver and put it in his pocket and looked at Li Yueji, "Don't you listen?" β
Li Yueji scolded the money fan with a smile, and took out a silver ingot to He Hailan, "It's okay, right?" β
He Hailan nodded and took back her jade pendant, but was grabbed by the county lord of Xici, He Hailan looked at her, "What's wrong?" β
The county lord of Xici let go of He Hailan's hand and shook his head, "It's okay, I just think this jade pendant is very familiar, you can tell a story." β
He Hailan raised her eyebrows, tied the jade pendant around her waist, and then said, "Today I will tell you a story about Westerners, which happened in a religious temple in Franks. β
The county lord of Xici asked, "Where is Frank?" β
"The other side of the sea."
