Seeing Li Yan looking at her with a little surprise, she knew that she was rude, so she wanted to explain, but she heard Li Yan say: "Aren't you afraid that I made tea with the water that brewed Junying grass?" ”

Cheng Xueyan was stunned, but she suddenly laughed, very hearty, it can be said that no one in the Cheng Mansion, including the most inferior people, dared to laugh so happily.

Bi Tong saw her teasing her master, she was already angry, and was about to reason out, but was silenced by her master.

Cheng Xueyan somewhat understood her incredibleness. Born in a Qinglou like her, although she married a lover, it was difficult to wash away the lowliness of her background, but that person died again, and she had to fend for herself. She is clever-minded, but where such a person is so high-minded, she is angry and hateful to those who are jealous of herself and despise herself and have a lot of suspicion, and the etiquette around her does not allow her to justify herself, so she will inevitably mock the hypocrisy of others with false self-contempt, she is not deliberately trying to make things difficult, but she just wants to hide a sensitive and sad heart, how much joy and how much resentment and how much pain will be hidden in the tears of laughter?

Bi Tong was very unaccustomed to this kind of arrogance, and the gratitude she originally gave birth to because she helped her master get through the difficulties was wiped out in this piercing laughter.

Li Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, finally calmed down her smile, and said loudly: "Are you looking for me today to give a thank you gift?" ”

Cheng Xueyan knew that they were heart-to-heart, so she didn't need to be polite, and directly took out the dark green brocade box.

Li Yan saw that she had the brocade box in her sleeve and did not hand it over to the maid to collect, knowing that she valued herself, she was a little moved in her heart, so she took the brocade box.

Open the lid of the box......

Bitong noticed her long eyelashes fluttering.

It's really shocking......

On the smoky purple lining lies a hairpin ornament that looks like water droplets.

Carefully lifted it, I saw that on each side was an inch-long silver comb, with three silver wires as thin as spider silk connected in the middle, unfolding about three inches long, but all of them were polished, not missing half of the starlight, in order to only fall on the broken crystals.

The broken crystals are the size of rice beads, the shape is like drops, the colors are different, with the light movement of the fingers, the light of various colors jumps beautifully, such as the moon sprinkles clear light, and the water waves float.

If the material is not a precious thing, the key is the ingenuity of the mind, if this jewelry is matched with the dress like a cloud, presumably Tingyinlou will capture more attention that night.

"The big girl really put a lot of thought into it, but I don't know what this jewelry is called?"

"It's just that I'm playing Mr. Li's ugly in my spare time, if Mr. looks like it, I'll give it a name......

Starlight danced lightly in the palm of Ruyu's palm.

"Moonlight Clearing......"

The light of the broken crystal splintered dots on Li Yan's smooth face, swimming gently.

The name was exactly what she wanted, and they really thought of it again.

"Mr. Lai's Yard ......"

"Just call me 'sister', I'm seven years older than you......"

Li Yan has put the moon point Qingbo obliquely on the bun. A little starlight flickered slightly, making people more noble.

"Sister......

Cheng Xueyan knew that a stubborn and upright person like Li Yan could say this, so she really regarded her as a sister, and she was so moved.

"Sister's courtyard is extraordinarily elegant, I wonder if the mansion outside the house is also so good......" She moved to the window and looked at the house.

"I've never liked decoration, and the courtyard outside is shabby."

"Even if it is simple, it is also my own side of the world......" Thinking of her situation, Cheng Xueyan couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"You just want to ...... It's always been like this? ”

Li Yan stood beside her, looking at her meaningfully.

Such......

No matter how different Li Yan is, she is always a woman of this era, and she always thinks that women must have a home. Whether in ancient times or in modern times, lifelong events have always been a constant topic among women. Li Yan is now a sister in her boudoir, but she still doesn't want to confide in others easily.

"You can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Guan Ju Pavilion now, but the flowers are not red for a hundred days, just like a woman, once it is twilight, no one will look at it. What if one day everyone sings your tune? ”

Cheng Xueyan has not thought about this, but according to her current situation, she can only take one step at a time.

"Ling Zun is often not in the house, everything is decided by Mrs. Zun, to say a word, you return home like this, although it is a moment of prosperity, I am afraid it is not a long-term solution, after all, it is necessary to promise you to others to complete their face."

Li Yan's words are undisguised and point to reality.

Cheng Xueyan naturally thought of Ling Su, but the last time she said goodbye, there was no word to pass on, I don't know what he was doing, but even if she contacted her, did she ask him to marry her?

"In this world, only money and a house will not betray you......"

Cheng Xueyan was stunned, why are these words so similar......

Anyone can betray you, only jewelry and clothes will not - from "Wulin Gaiden" Tong Xiangyu.

"If you don't marry, these things belong to your mother's family, and if you marry, these things are the ...... of your husband's family"

What exactly does Li Yan want to say?

"Just like me," Li Yan smiled miserably: "I thought I had something to rely on, but when I died, there was nothing, if I stayed there, who would let me?" Fortunately, I saved some money and bought a real estate, so I finally have a place to live. In this way, even if something happens to their family in the future, it will not fall on my head......"

Lai Yan means......

"Although you are everyone's daughter, outsiders think you are at ease, but how do they know about this? According to me, you have to plan ahead to ......."

"I'm a weak woman, and I'm not familiar with life, what should I do?" She was telling the truth.

"Remember what I just said?" Li Yan smiled, there was firmness in that smile, and there was also sadness: "It is better to rely on the sky and the earth, it is better to rely on yourself ......"

Cheng Xueyan's heart is alive, why doesn't she secretly buy a property outside? It doesn't matter how big or small, the key is to have a place to settle down, and you don't have to look at other people's faces all the time. She now receives 22 taels a month, as well as 20 taels of dividends from the gold shopkeeper, what is the house price outside? Isn't it scary? Can I pay in installments? How much is the down payment......

She couldn't help but turn back to look for Bitong, but saw Bitong staring at them with a stupid gaze.

She only said that Bitong followed the rules, and she couldn't listen to these free thoughts, so she didn't expect Bitong to be in a dilemma. On the one hand, she thinks that if a woman leaves home and sets up a single door, it is not only unruly, but also risky, on the other hand, she feels that it is very comfortable for Li Yan to be able to have her own house, move without being seen by others, and make her own decisions, otherwise she is like a girl born in the house, and she may die if she makes a mistake, and then inexplicably ponders which lot has a house for sale, what is the price, and the next time she goes to the gold shopkeeper, she should inquire more and pay attention to it......

Li Yan didn't send them out.

It was almost dusk, and the golden sunlight added a bit of luxury to the Yuling Tower, and also reflected the strings of red fruits like red lanterns, which lit up the eyes.

Lily of the valley is known for its purity and happiness, and I hope that the owner of this courtyard, this stubborn and strong woman, can finally find her own happiness.

——————————————————————————————————————

When they arrived at Manxue Pavilion, it was dinner time, and it was not suitable to visit at this time, and the two were about to go back, but they happened to be seen by the little girl who came back with a vermilion lacquer food box, so they provoked a little girl and Miaotong to come out to greet her, and she had to stay here to eat.

I couldn't push it, so I had to clean my hands, wipe it with a handkerchief, and take the chopsticks.

There are no rules on the side of Manxue Pavilion, the girls sit at another table to eat after serving, and today there are more Bitong, and Miaotong is very able to talk, so that table is a lot more lively.

Because he has a lot of dealings with Cheng Xueman, now he is really like a sister, so he didn't have too much politeness, and took out the brocade box directly.

Cheng Xueman knew that this sister was going to come up with some new tricks in three days now, so she didn't ask much, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, took the brocade box, and opened it......

His eyes widened suddenly, and he burst out with surprise: "Sister, this is for me?" ”

In fact, there is not much difference between this ornament and the one given to Li Yan except for the length and the change of the shape of the broken crystal to the shape of the bead and the unification of the color into deep purple, but it is worn on the forehead.

Cheng Xueman's face is slightly longer, her hairline is high, her forehead hair is thin, and she does not add bangs, so hanging this ornament in front of her forehead can effectively cover up her flaws and make her face shine.

Cheng Xueman couldn't wait to put it on, and then called Miaotong to bring the Linghua over.

The house is already a palm lamp, and the broken light in the dim light shines against the delicate face, which has a unique flavor.

Everyone praised them again and again, and Cheng Xueyan was also quite proud. She admired her masterpiece for a while, and suddenly her heart moved, look at Bitong, and then look at Miaotong...... The two little girls turned out to be smooth foreheads, Bitong's forehead hair was broken, and they had to be smoothed with osmanthus oil every morning. And the little girl behind Miaotong had a lot of hair, so she knotted her broken hair into two small braids and hung them on both sides.

Think back to Du Mizhen, Tang Fanrou, Qin Gulan...... and the big and small women in the house, there is no one who combs bangs, of course, if Cheng Xueyao's fetal hair hanging down in the middle of her forehead is called bangs, it is a different matter, but that day I seem to have heard someone say that she will be in time for a while, and she will comb all her hair......

No bangs, no bangs...... Here comes the business!

Immediately, I couldn't sit still.

Cheng Xueman was also very excited, looking left and right in the mirror, only to feel that today was particularly good-looking. Then I didn't know what I thought, my cheeks flushed, and I snapped the mirror down.

Cheng Xueyan was excited, she didn't notice anything unusual, she just shirked her fullness, and said a few polite words, and left Manxue Pavilion.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, a string of piano sounds flew out behind him, and the initial one was "Lilac Snow".

She was stunned, and immediately remembered a spring night, the flute was flying, and the piano was singing......

After a while, the sound of the piano suddenly took a sharp turn and moved to another tune.

Did you hear it wrong?

Perhaps, because "Lilac Snow" just now is extremely expensive, and it has completely lost its original poignant loneliness.

Fortunately, it was an illusion, and the heart suddenly relaxed, and it was stagnant for a moment......

Why do you say "lucky"?
