too affectionate

Chapter 62

When Wanyan finally finished transcribing the case, Dawn had already torn a corner of the darkness, and faintly seeped in a little bit of light.

Heng Li took the letter paper, checked it carefully, and then put away the letter copied by Wanyan together with the letter he wrote last night, and disappeared into the morning dew before dawn.

Wanyan worked hard all night, she was already tired and unbearable, taking advantage of the absence of Heng Li, she plunged into the bed, ready to have a good night's sleep.

Unexpectedly, Wanyan was just about to fall asleep in a daze, when she heard the sound of getting up and washing from the next room.

Why do you want to go out so early?Wanyan was puzzled, so she got up and went to the next room, and saw that the aunt and Han'er were both up and busy packing the fabrics.After asking, I found out that my aunt was going to the cloth shop in the county to deliver fabrics today, and Han'er also clamored to go with her.

The aunt was cleaning up in a hurry, and she didn't forget to tell Wanyan: "Be careful at home, you two, don't go out and run around. The cakes and snacks are in the stove pot. You and Xiaobei will eat first at noon. Make some cushions, Madam will cook for you when she comes back tonight."

Wanyan also helped the aunt arrange the cloth, and said repeatedly: "I know, aunt, you can go and deliver the cloth at ease. Be careful on the road."

Only then did Auntie leave the house with peace of mind, and took Han'er and Aunt Liu from the same village to the county town.

As soon as Wanyan saw her off with her front feet, she got into the quilt with her back feet and got a good night's sleep.When he opened his eyes again, it was already broad daylight, Heng Li had already returned, and was sitting by the window reading a book.

After Wanyan had packed everything up and woke up, she was about to go to the next room to find something to eat when there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me, is Miss Yan'er there?"

A soft voice came from outside the door, and then a strange girl walked in.

"I am." Wanyan responded, and stepped forward to welcome the girl in, "Miss, what do you want?"

When the girl saw a stranger, especially a man, her blushing face instantly flushed, she was stiff and almost embarrassed, she grabbed the corner of her clothes and dared not look up.

"I... I'm Xu Chan'er. Miss Yan'er helped my grandfather... catch the cow back yesterday. Today... I'm here to thank you."

Wanyan saw that Chan'er was about seventeen or eighteen years old, so she called her sister and hurriedly gave her a seat and poured water.

"Sister Chan'er, you are too polite. It's just a matter of raising your hands, why do you need to come to the door to thank you in person?"

Seeing that Wanyan is lively, cheerful, and amiable, Chan'er was less restrained, and gradually raised her head: "It may be a piece of cake for the girl, but for us, grandpa and grandson, this cow is a big deal." Our lifeblood. Chan'er heard that the girl was injured while catching cattle, and she felt really sorry, so she came to see the girl's injury. This kindness is a thank you gift for the girl, although it is rough and can't catch the girl's eyes , but somehow express my heart."

While talking, Chan'er took out a pair of purses from her cuffs and put them in Wanyan's hands.

Wanyan has the nerve to accept it, so she hastily declined, but Chan'er looks weak, but has a stubborn personality, so she must give the purse to Wanyan.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Wanyan gratefully accepted the pair of purses, put them in her palms and examined them carefully.

These two purses are embroidered with a pattern of a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. The stitches are extremely fine and neat.

"Sister Chan'er really has a pair of skillful hands, this embroidery is really exquisite, this purse can be said to be the most exquisite purse I have ever seen!" Wanyan admired sincerely.

Wanyan's words are not exaggerated, although the fabric and thread materials of this purse are very common, but the embroidery is much better than all the embroiderers of official purses she has ever seen.

Hearing this straightforward and sincere praise, Chan'er couldn't help but blushed in shame, lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "Miss Yan'er is absurdly praised, I can't afford my skillful hands, it's just stitches and stitches." Just do it carefully. I embroidered these two purses until late at night every night, and it took a full year to embroider them."

Speaking of this, Chan'er's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of melancholy that was visible to the naked eye.

Unexpectedly, there are two mandarin ducks in the lotus bag, flying from the candle under the cool night.

When Wanyan heard this, she picked up the purse and wanted to return it to Chan'er: "Sister Chan'er made it with such painstaking efforts, it must have a special meaning, how can I accept it!"

"Hurry up and take it!" Chan'er pushed the purse back again, her voice getting more and more depressed, "This purse used to have some special meaning, but it is useless now. I am thinking of Miss Yan'er and Qin Se, son of Beize He Ming, raised eyebrows, this pair of mandarin duck purses can only be given to you, it will not waste my painstaking efforts."

Seeing that Chan'er insisted on doing this, Wanyan no longer shirks it.

Chan'er checked that Wanyan's injury was not serious before leaving.

Although Chan'er left, Wanyan couldn't let her go.Cicada looks juicy and gentle, and she is also gentle and kind. However, this upright and most beautiful girl has a look of sadness in her eyes that cannot be dispelled, and the whole person is shrouded in dark clouds, presumably because of troubles.

"Hello." Heng Li, who had been sitting quietly by the window, looked at Wanyan's sitting back, and suddenly said, "Don't I still have this purse?"

"Huh?" Wanyan immediately turned around and walked to Heng Li, and handed both purses to Heng Li, "If your lord likes them, you can take them. I still have the purses made by my sister and Lan Yu."

Heng Li stared at the purse helplessly for a while, and then pulled out only one purse from Wanyan's hand: "Thank you, Minister Xuan, for your kindness, I can take one."

What am I doing with a pair of mandarin duck purses alone?Do you always remind yourself to respect yourself?There is really no one who is so incomprehensible...

Seeing that Heng Li's tone was suddenly cold, Wanyan scratched the back of his head in confusion, put the other purse in his arms, and went to the next room to find something to eat.

As soon as Wanyan entered the room, she immediately raised her nose vigilantly, and rushed straight to the stove with her feet leading her body.

"Roasted chicken!! And there are two!" Wanyan screamed as soon as she lifted the lid of the stove, she was at a loss for surprise, and when she looked up, she saw Heng Li who had just entered the room, and asked: "My lord, what is this?" Did you buy it?"

Under Wanyan's scorching gaze, Heng Li shrugged her shoulders calmly, and said lightly: "I happened to pass by the market when I came back from delivering a letter early in the morning. I happened to see a roast chicken just out of the oven, so I brought one back by the way."

"Thank you sir!" Wanyan didn't care how she bought the hat, as long as there was something to eat, she opened the lotus leaf wrapping the roast chicken twice, tore off a big chicken leg and handed it to the hat, revealing the original image of a dog leg, "Try it first!"

Heng Li didn't refuse, took the chicken leg and ate it slowly.By the time he finished eating the chicken leg, Wanyan had already eaten half of the chicken, and the bones had piled up into a small hill.

After eating a full meal, Wanyan patted her stomach contentedly, and went out with a big swagger.

Although Heng Li was curious, she didn't ask any questions, and Ren Wanyan went straight out of the yard.

Wanyan has been thinking about Chan'er since she left, both worried and curious about what happened to Chan'er.Thinking that there is a Heng Li here, Chan'er must be too embarrassed to talk in detail, so she went to Uncle Xu's house at the outermost edge of the village to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Uncle Xu's thatched hut was in a forest, Wanyan walked in the forest, and saw two people standing vaguely in the forest from afar.

Wanyan came closer, only to be surprised to find that one of these two people is Chan'er, and the other is a man in common clothes.The two are holding hands and complaining to each other.

The man held Chan'er's hand, as if he was trying to persuade her, he was very emotional.Cicada lowered her head and cried with tears, and kept shaking her head.Seeing this, the man pulled Chan'er into his arms. After struggling twice, Chan'er fell into the man's arms, her shoulders twitching.

This affectionate scene instantly ignited Wanyan's little face. She was embarrassed to go forward to disturb them, but also felt that peeking was really immoral, so she thought of coming to Chan'er later, turned around and wanted to slip.

As soon as Chan'er looked up, she saw Wanyan's fleeing back, she quickly broke free from the man's embrace, and called to Wanyan, "Miss Yan'er?"

Wanyan couldn't pretend she couldn't hear, so she had to bite the bullet and turn around, her eyes glanced at the toes of her shoes, she was embarrassed to look up at them.

Chan'er's face was also flushed with embarrassment, she pushed the man, and said anxiously and helplessly: "Hurry up, there is nothing we can do about this matter, you and I can only accept our fate. Live your life well, don't come again I'm here."

The man wanted to say more after hearing the words, but Chan'er had already dragged Wanyan into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, Chan'er first poured Wanyan a bowl of water, and said embarrassingly, "I'm really sorry to make Miss Yan'er laugh."

Wanyan took the water bowl, her face was still flushed, but she shook her head again and again: "No, no, where is this?"

Chan'er sat down next to Wanyan without saying a word, she hadn't recovered from her embarrassment yet.

Wanyan took a sip of water, put down the water bowl, and asked cautiously: "But, who is the talented person?"

Cicada's face burned again, and the sadness in her eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of mist.

"To tell you the truth, Miss Yan'er, he is...he is my...my lover."

Although Wanyan was shy, she still waved her hand carelessly: "What's so ridiculous about this? Miss Chan'er has also reached her wedding year, wouldn't it be a blessing to have someone she likes?"

Chan'er twisted the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes turned red again: "But I...but I've already made a marriage, and we're going to get married in seven days..."

"Ah? This..." Wanyan didn't expect this to happen, and hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.

When Chan'er talked about sad things, the chatterbox opened up, and she clenched her fists angrily: "I don't hate my fate, I just hate that the dog officials are in power now, and the oppressed people can't survive!"

"Dog officer?" Wanyan blinked her head in confusion, becoming more and more incomprehensible.
