"I chose it myself, and I willingly." Guo Wan's smile was light and light, like ripples in the water: "There are some things I have to do, and I can only do them." However, my strength is limited, and I will never be able to do it on my own, even if I pull the Han family up, it is far from enough. ”

At this point, she looked at Chen Ying, her smile instantly brightened, her starry eyes were bright, and she made the room full of spring light: "Miss Chen San is my friend of Guo Wan, no matter where she goes, what kind of encounter she encounters, this will never change." ”

Chen Ying also looked back at her, and after a long time, she opened her lips and said, "Me too." ”

The flower hall is quiet, the wind beats the thin curtain, and every time it rolls, it will bring in a little breath of distant mountains.

After a few breaths, Guo Wan finally cheered up and said with a smile: "That's it, it's really boring to say that these shadowless things are boring, and they don't hurt the mood." I'm here to deliver something today, and goodbye is secondary. ”

As she spoke, she pulled something out of her sleeve, not wanting to be in a hurry, and with a "click", an object fell out.

After the thing hit the ground, it rolled a few times, and it was at Chen Ying's skirt, she leaned over to pick it up, and suddenly moved, and her eyes widened suddenly.

This object is very familiar.

It's a small wooden horse.

Even though the paint was peeling off, the luster of the tung oil was darkened, and the carving was lackluster, Chen Ying still recognized at a glance that this pony was similar to something she had seen before.

She quickly picked up the pony and looked up at Guo Wan.

"Yo, how did you get it out?" Guo Wan didn't notice Chen Ying's short-term strangeness at all, and smiled and stretched out her hand to beg: "Give it back to me." ”

Chen Ying hesitated for a moment, then handed the Trojan horse back, and said casually: "This little pig is really cute." ”

Guo Wan laughed with a "poof", shook the pony in front of her eyes, and said, "I said Miss Chen, Principal Chen, you can see clearly, where is the little pig, it is clearly a horse." ”

Chen Ying raised her eyebrows, looked at her hand twice, and said, "I see, I remember, you seem to belong to Malaysia." ”

"Finally you get it." Guo Wan stuffed the pony into the sleeve cage, pushed an envelope over, and said softly: "Here are three thousand taels of silver tickets." ”

Chen Ying was a little distracted, staring at the envelope on the case, silent for a while, but her brain was running rapidly.

She was quickly sorting out all kinds of information she had obtained from Guo Wan and the servants of the Han family during this time.

Soon, she came to a conclusion:

In the past five years, Guo Wan should not have been to Shengjing.

According to various sources, at the end of the spring of the eleventh year of Yuanjia, Guo Wan married Qiu Shilang as his wife. That Qiu Shilang was sick and weak, and fell ill in bed before the cave room, followed by more than half a year of undressing service, Yuan Jia 12 years, Qiu Shilang died of illness, Guo Wan stayed in the Qiu family for two years as a widow, until the 14th year of Yuan Jia did not return to the Han family and began to take over the Han family's business.

That is, from the fourteenth year of Yuanjia, Guo Wan occasionally left Penglai and went to various shops to check the accounts, and most of these shops were in Dengzhou Prefecture, and the Han family's property in Shengjing was sold more than ten years ago.

After coming to this conclusion, Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

That's it.

For a moment, she was afraid to come to the opposite conclusion. Now it seems that she is overthinking.

At this time, Guo Wan was talking, talking about the silver ticket:

“…… This is my own private money, not in the profit of the essential oil of flowers and plants, Miss Chen San, please take it, don't count it with the final payment. I know girls don't like redundancy, and I don't like either. Let's return one yard to one yard, and please don't shirk the girl. ”

Her complexion changed in an instant, and her voice also fluctuated significantly: "I know that my identity is inconvenient, and this money Chen San girl doesn't have to use it in the girls' school, just give it to the shelter." ”

She slowly raised her head and looked at Chen Ying, the smile on her lips was a little far-fetched:

"Miss Chen San should also know that the difference between me and those women in the shelter is just a bit of luck. If it weren't for my good life, I would have been married to my grandfather's family who loved me, but I was afraid that there should be a place for me in that shelter. ”

This was extremely mournful, Chen Ying couldn't help but be a little moved, and persuaded softly: "Why did Grandma Qiu say this? That's too much. ”

"Since you know that your words are serious, then please don't excuse Miss Chen San." Guo Wan's voice was very soft, but her attitude was very resolute, as if she was afraid that Chen Ying would refuse.

Seeing her like this, Chen Ying couldn't push it anymore, so she had to accept the envelope, and Guo Wan reappeared with joy, as if she had completed the task, and the breath on her body became brisk.

After two sips of tea, she picked up a piece of snack from the fruit plate and ate it, and said, "I'm busy this morning, I'm a little hungry this time." Laughing again: "Miss Chen San, don't laugh at me, it's just here with you, so I can have a little leisure." ”

Chen Yingwei answered, only looked at her in a trance, and after a while, she gathered her mind and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind:

"That little Trojan horse...... Where did it come from? Please also ask Grandma Qiu Si to give me advice. ”

This question was not related to the previous conversation, Guo Wan was stunned, and then her face was surprised, and she asked, "What happened to the pony?" ”

Chen Ying's question was really strange, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

Chen Ying groaned slightly and gave an ambiguous answer: "I seem to have seen similar wood carvings before. ”

This is not a lie, she does have a very similar wood carving on hand.

It was the thing that the nameless female corpse was holding.

Because she often took it out for observation, she was very familiar with the knife technique of the wood carving, and it was almost exactly the same as the small wooden horse that Guo Wan had just dropped.

Chen Ying believes that she will never look away.

She stared at Guo Wan and subconsciously observed her expression.

And Guo Wan's reaction was also very strange.

After listening to Chen Ying's vague answer, the surprise on her face disappeared immediately.

Slightly lowering her eyes and looking at the table, as if she was picking out snacks that suited her taste, Guo Wan said indifferently: "I'll just say, why did Miss Chen San ask about this, it turned out that she had seen it before, and I understood it." ”

Picking out a green fruit from the fruit plate, Guo Wanfang raised her head with a light smile: "That pony was carved for me by my father when I was young, and it has been many years now, because I have been carrying this thing since I was a child, and I am used to it, but now I accidentally fell it down, which caused the girl to laugh." ”

Her expression changed a little, but her smile was still there, and she continued: "Because Xianci died early, my father and his old man found a noble man to be a bride many years ago, and the bride gave birth to a noble daughter for her, I'm afraid that people have long forgotten me." ”
