Chapter 29: Making Friends
Jin Anhou looked at He Hailan, who was originally not interested in storytelling, and actually began to look at the storyteller below so seriously, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xiao Lan'er, do you have any ideas?" ”
He Hailan was stunned, she really didn't expect her cheap grandfather to be so sensitive, and he sensed her thoughts so quickly.
She smiled slightly, nodded, and casually picked up the tea: "These storytellers and writers should be rich people." "Drink tea.
"Hahaha!" Jin Anhou didn't expect his little granddaughter to be a money fan, he looked at He Hailan and smiled, "People are a big man, do you want to write a book, Xiaolan'er?" ”
"Ahem..."He Hailan spit out the tea that she drank into her mouth, she quickly took the handkerchief and wiped it clean, and looked at Jin Anhou in surprise, "Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Hailan can't even read a few words now, how can she write a story? ”
Jin Anhou glanced at He Hailan meaningfully, and nodded, "Well, let's call grandpa in the future, this title is kind." ”
Although Jin Anhou said this, He Hailan was still a little weak by Jin Anhou's eyes.
Just when He Hailan was thinking about whether he wanted to explain, a scolding voice came from outside the private room, "I said Lao He, you're not authentic, right?" said that when I went home to see my granddaughter, I actually ran here to listen to the book! Your old boy is actually looking for an excuse to run away because of his bad luck! ”
After the words fell, an old man who looked elegant opened the curtain and walked in, He Hailan quickly got up from the chair, and Jin Anhou, who was originally indifferent, instantly turned the color of pig liver, he stood up abruptly and shouted, "What nonsense!" Am I that kind of person? Didn't I just leave because I was worried about my granddaughter? ”
He Hailan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jin Anhou, Jin Anhou felt He Hailan's gaze, coughed weakly, pointed to the old man who came in and said, "Xiao Lan'er, this is your Grandpa Li." ”
He Hailan walked up to the old man and bowed, "He Hailan has seen Grandpa Li." ”
"Hey, what a sensible girl." Li Yan smiled and nodded, and praised again and again, "Look, one more girl, why didn't your grandfather take you out to play before?" ”
He Hailan raised his eyebrows, and Li Yan said again, "Your grandfather has been talking about you every day these days. ”
The little boy who was following Li Yan pulled Li Yan's sleeve, and then stepped forward to salute Jin An, "I've seen Grandpa He." ”
"No courtesy, no courtesy." Jin Anhou smiled and nodded.
Li Yan and Jin Anhou chatted for a while and began to listen to the book, while He Hailan and the little boy behind Li Yan were bored as foils.
In fact, He Hailan had already recognized the little boy beside Li Yan when the two of them came in as Li Yueji, the good friend of the Xici County Lord, but the two of them were only nodding friends, He Hailan naturally would not be shy to get close to people.
Li Yueji didn't recognize He Hailan at first, but because what He Hailan did in the eldest princess today was too shocking and even impressive, she still couldn't help but look at it twice when she heard He Hailan's name just now.
Aren't others saying that the fifth lady of the Marquis Mansion of Jin'an has been frail and sick since she was a child, and she is timid and afraid of things? Today has subverted her image in her heart.
And the lady of the ordinary family... Even if it were her, if something like this happened today, she would definitely not immediately pack up her mood and go out with her grandfather.
Thinking of this, Li Yueji couldn't help but look at He Hailan twice.
He Hailan felt Li Yueji's gaze, her brows raised slightly, and she probably knew what Li Yueji was thinking in her heart, she had an impeccable smile on her face, and looked back at Li Yueji and smiled slightly.
Li Yueji was stunned by her smile, and then quickly withdrew her gaze.
"Yueji, you and Xiao Hailan, the two little girls, are also bored to accompany our two old men here, why don't you two go to play next to you?" Li Yan, who was originally listening to the book, looked back at the two of them, "You go inside to play chess, drink tea, and be a female celebrity?"
"Forget it..."He Hailan and Li Yueji almost spoke in unison.
When the two arrived behind the screen, Li Yueji looked at He Hailan, "You don't like to be a female celebrity?" ”
Speaking of the female red, He Hailan shuddered almost immediately, "I think I'd rather not use the handkerchief I made myself in this life, than learn from the female red." ”
Li Yueji nodded very sympathetically, "There are countless needles and eyes in our hands every day, and we can't embroider anything, and the embroidery room is obviously sold, why do we have to be a female celebrity ourselves?" ”
He Hailan suddenly had a feeling of familiarity with this Li Yueji, and stretched out a hand towards Li Yueji, "Kind, shake hands and shake hands!" ”
Li Yueji looked at He Hailan's outstretched hand, her eyebrows raised slightly, hooked the corners of her mouth and stretched out a hand towards He Hailan, the two hands were released as soon as she held them, she smiled, "Your etiquette is quite fresh, fresher than those Westerners' etiquette." ”
He Hailan raised his eyebrows slightly, it seems that the current Westerners have not used the handshake salute.
She smiled, the two sat down on the chair, Li Yueji poured tea for He Hailan, He Hailan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Yueji... Eh, Li Gongzi, do you like to drink tea? ”
Li Yueji glanced at He Hailan, He Hailan smiled, "That's really a coincidence, my fourth sister also likes tea, and even likes tea culture." ”
Li Yueji nodded, "I've heard of this." ”
He Hailan drank a cup of tea, and the two chatted with each other, and suddenly Li Yueji looked at He Hailan, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”
He Hailan sighed in his heart!
Worst! This problem again!
She can blatantly reject her cheap grandfather, but if she rejects this Miss Li Yueji, will she be considered ignorant?
Moreover, if she said that she couldn't play chess, then when she went back, after her grandmother found out, would she feel that she had lost the face of the Hou Mansion?
Thinking that she had sworn not to embarrass the Hou Mansion before, He Hailan made up her mind at once, she glanced at Li Yueji and nodded, "I will be a little fur, and please Li... Childe, be merciful. ”
Li Yueji nodded without modesty, stood up and skillfully walked to a mahogany cabinet to open the cabinet, took out two chess pieces from it, put one box in front of He Hailan, and put the other on his side, and then put the chessboard on the low table, and made a gesture of invitation to He Hailan, He Hailan looked at Li Yueji's posture and knew that this must be a Go master! You're not welcome at the moment, picked up the sunspot in front of him and put one on the chessboard.
Li Yueji glanced at He Hailan and put one for herself.
The two of you have already put half of the chess pieces back and forth, Li Yueji's face was serious, she raised her eyes and glanced at He Hailan, twisted a chess piece and put it on the chessboard, "Your chess skills are good, at least you can rank in this capital." ”
He Hailan's heart trembled, and she shouted in her heart, did she expose her strength?
But his face was silent, "But it's not as good as Li Gongzi." ”
"Not necessarily." Li Yueji continued to bow her head and play chess, "However, when I saw it today, it subverted your image in my heart." ”
