Guo Wan and these two cousins grew up together, they have a lot of friendship with each other, and their temperament is also familiar, and they don't feel abrupt when they hear the words, so they only smile and say softly: "It's not easy for me to go in and out with you now, but I haven't forgotten you." ”

At this point, she turned back and ordered, "Hongxiang, go and bring the things." ”

Hongxiang took the order and left, and after a while, she walked out with a small green lacquer luodian box, Guo Wan took it, lifted the lid of the box, and the red light in the box brightened her eyes.

It turned out that there were two identical red agate bracelets.

"Yo, this red agate is so clear." Han Yaoqing snorted lightly, and a look of surprise crossed Juanxiu's face.

Guo Wan smiled, handed over the box, and said: "This bracelet was brought by someone from the capital a few years ago, and at the beginning of spring this year, I handed them over to Master Huineng of Wan'an Temple, and asked the master to open the light. ”

Han Yaoqing took a closer look at the agate strings, and saw that the agate was all of the same size, as round as red beads, and she loved it very much, but she didn't dare to take it, raised her head, and looked at Han Yaoyi on the side, her eyes were full of pleading.

Han Yaoyi only glanced at the bracelet, then shook her head and declined: "Cousin, this is too valuable, we can't accept it." ”

Guo Wan has always had a good impression of this eldest cousin, and she respects her dignity very much, so she smiled when she heard the words: "The color of this thing is too bright, so I will leave it for nothing, so it is better to give it to you." ”

It is also said that she is a widow, and she must not wear red and green unless she dips it again.

It's just that the old lady of the Qiu family agreed to let Guo Wan go home, and the first condition was "not allowed to remarry", Han Duanli and Liu's granddaughter were heartfelt, so they gritted their teeth and responded. That is to say, Guo Wan returned to the Han family this time, and for the rest of her life, I am afraid that she can only die of old age in the Han family.

Thinking like this, Han Yaoyi felt extremely unbearable in her heart, and when she looked at Guo Wan's flowery face again, she couldn't help but feel even more hurt.

Today's red face is tomorrow's dry bones, this thought for a lifetime, the expression on her face darkened, and after a long time, Fang Qiang smiled: "Since my cousin said so, I will hurt my cousin's heart if I refuse." ”

Guo Wan smiled softly and said, "That's right, just take it." ”

Before Han Yaoyi could speak, Han Yaoqing had already cheered, picked a bracelet and put it on her wrist, and raised her hand to meet the light, but saw that the red agate lined the wrist as white as snow, and couldn't help but say: "This color is really beautiful." Then he turned to Guo Wan and smiled: "Thank you, cousin." ”

Han Yaoyi couldn't see her shallow-eyed appearance, sank her face, and said: "A bracelet will make you forget the rules, so you just go to the street to be arrogant, I still respect you for how much courage you have." ”

It was rare for her to say something serious, Han Yaoqing wilted all of a sudden, and because she was in front of Guo Wan, she felt even more embarrassed, and her face turned red.

Han Yaoyi didn't look at her either, but only apologized to Guo Wan and said, "Tell my cousin to laugh, it's because I didn't teach my little sister well." ”

Guo Wan knows Han Yaoqing's temperament very well, and knows that this little cousin has no bad intentions, but sometimes her words and deeds are a little flamboyant, and her eyelids are indeed a little shallow, but she is not unbearable, so she smiled and persuaded when she heard the words: "Sister Qing is still young." ”

"Where is she still young? It's already twelve. Han Yaoyi had a headache for this sister, and the expression on her face was quite helpless when she spoke.

This remark involves the family affairs of the Han Mansion, Guo Wan, the widowed granddaughter, is not easy to put her beak, so she diverted the topic and said: "I bought some snacks on the way back, and they are still hot, so let's try them together." He said to Han Yaoqing again: "The pattern you drew before is very elegant, and you will draw a few for me in a few days." ”

These words were euphemistically praising Han Yaoqing's excellent painting skills, and when Han Yaoqing heard it, her face turned around a little, but she didn't dare to speak like Fang Cai.

Guo Wan said something about the scenery of Wan'an Temple and the like, and the atmosphere in the room slowly became more lively, and when the dim sum came, the sisters ate dim sum and drank tea, until the two cousins said goodbye and left, Han Yaoqing's expression had returned to normal.

After sending them away, Guo Wan's face showed fatigue, and she exhaled a long breath, and was about to go back to the inner room to rest, but she didn't want Lu Yi to pick up the curtain and walked in, and said in a low voice: "The old lady sent Qingfeng to pass the word, please ask the wife to go." ”

Guo Wan hurriedly cheered up again, changed her clothes and went to the outer study.

Han Duanli's study is in the east corner of the mansion, the place is not big, and there are not a few books in it, but the most is still the account book, one in the east and one in the west, almost full of the big case of the black lacquer.

When Guo Wan entered the house with the little maid Qingfeng, Han Duanli was sitting in the middle of a pile of ledgers frowning and pondering, and when he saw her coming, there was a hint of a smile on his face, he raised his hand and pointed to the armchair next to him, and said in a kind voice: "Good boy, sit down." ”

Guo Wan had great respect for this grandfather in her heart, and when she heard this, she smiled and thanked her, and the breeze quietly withdrew, and the door was also closed.

Han Duanli stood up, paced a few steps in the room, and suddenly asked, "I heard that you went to Wan'an Temple today, just in time for a guest from Beijing to go to offer incense, is there anything wrong?" ”

Guo Wan was slightly shocked, but there was no difference on her face, and she said calmly: "Back to my grandfather, there is such a thing, I also met their cousin in the laurel forest, the one surnamed Chen. ”

Han Duanli nodded, raised his hand and stroked his beard, his face a little hesitant.

Seeing that he only asked about the visitors from the capital, but he didn't know about his meeting with Zhu's sister-in-law, Guo Wan felt a little at ease, and because he had always been close to Han Duanli, he didn't have those taboos when he spoke, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Why did my grandfather suddenly remember that the family was here?" Could it be that there is something wrong with our yard, they are uncomfortable to live in? ”

Han Duanli shook his head and waved his hand: "It's nothing, I'm just asking." ”

After speaking, he twisted his beard again and continued to ponder, but he didn't say anything else, as if he called Guo Wan over to ask her a question.

Guo Wan felt a little strange, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to ask more questions at this time, so she also fell silent.

After a long time, Han Duanli seemed to wake up suddenly, looked at Guo Wan, and asked her, "In your opinion, the girl of the Chen family ...... What do you think? ”

This question is even stranger than Fang Cai, but Guo Wan still has no different face, and after thinking about it, she replied: "Back to my grandfather, according to my granddaughter, that Miss Chen is a calm person, and her temperament is also generous, and she looks very good." ”

"So." Han Duanli nodded, followed by a moment of silence.

After a few more moments, he said, "You don't want to mention this matter again, even if your grandmother asks you, you only say that you don't know." ”

Guo Wan didn't ask much, only nodded and said, "Yes, grandfather, I wrote it down." ”
