Shu Huan is not easy to bully, after clarifying his identity, he has no reason to let others ridicule him, so he withdrew his hand calmly, and said indifferently: "Cousin is joking, logically you call me cousin, this is a greeting It's up to me to send it."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and lightly touched the cloud-patterned beeswax bracelet on Zhang Hanfang's wrist, and said with a slight smile, "Coincidentally, I didn't bring anything else when I went out today, but I did bring the bracelet."
While speaking, she took out a bunch of carved bracelets from the purse on her waist, and lightly placed them in Zhang Hanfang's hands: "It's not a good thing, cousin, don't laugh at it, keep it for others."
Zhang Hanfang guessed that she wouldn't be able to bring out anything valuable, the smile on her face became even sweeter, she hurriedly lowered her head to look, wanting to see what kind of shabby thing it was, and then taunted her critically.
It's just that she didn't think about it, and she was the one who was stunned, and she swallowed the taunting words that were about to spit out to the tip of her tongue.
After all, she grew up in rich clothes and jade food. Even if her taste is not very high, she still has an eye for appreciation. She can tell at a glance that the hand string is exquisitely carved, and the material used is still high-grade horn, although it is not as good as Qinan's. They are as precious, but compared with the string of cloud-patterned beeswax bracelets in her hand, their value is almost as high as the sky, and the other is as valuable as the earth.
Just thinking about ridiculing others, he was hit back fiercely and calmly, and Zhang Hanfang's face suddenly became ugly.
Seeing her standing there silent, Mingluan was also curious, poked his head a little over to have a look, but she gave him a sideways glance, trembling in fright, wanted to say something to make a good deal, forced a smile and said: "This wooden bracelet is dark, maidservant... I can't see any good... I think it's better... than the box of sandalwood bracelets in the girl's room..."
She is not as flamboyant as Peiyu, and it is really embarrassing for her to say such words of praise and derogation, so she stammers a word without any confidence. It's also fortunate that she was not justified, and she still spoke with speculation, otherwise Zhang Hanfang's face would be even more embarrassing, but even so, Zhang Hanfang was so ashamed that she opened her mouth and reprimanded her: "You don't know anything, what nonsense?"
The flattery slapped the horse's foot, Ming Luan bowed his head aggrieved, with tears in his eyes, he dared not say any more.
Zhang Hanfang still felt embarrassed, his face turned pale for a while, he stuffed the agarwood bracelet back into Shu Huan's hand, and said with a forced smile: "Agarwood is just rare, and it's not as good as the world says, I didn't like it when I was young, express Sister-in-law should keep it for herself."
This is to save face for myself, as long as no one exposes it, it will be vague.
The student Zhang Hanfang had an older brother who didn't like her, so he insisted on coming over to dismantle her stage, and said with a smile, "You don't like it? A few days ago, the girl from the Lin family and Ji put out wine. After you went, you saw the big cousin. Didn’t the bunch of horn-heavy carved bracelets on sister-in-law’s wrist be talked about for days, and she sent her servants to look for them in shops all over the street? In the end, I found a bunch, but it’s not as good as this one, and the price is even higher, you I have been pestering my mother for a long time, but my mother refused to buy it for you, and now someone is giving it away for free, I don't think you can be coy, so just accept it generously."
The big cousin he was talking about was none other than Gu Xitian's wife, Fang Shi. Needless to say, the horn-heavy carved bracelet was the one that Shu Huan sent back as a gift last time, but neither he nor Zhang Hanfang knew about it.
Even if he didn't know, Zhang Hanfang was already ashamed by what he said, and he was beaten to ashes countless times in his heart, and he said angrily with a crying sound: "I don't like what you say nonsense, but I don't like any great good things. I don’t even bother to wear such a thing if I throw it in the incense burner and use it as firewood.”
This is a tone of sour grapes rather than grapes.
No one else answered, just looked at her quietly.
There is a feeling of being watched a monkey show...
Zhang Hanfang was extremely arrogant again, how could she bear it, she couldn't stand anymore, stomped her feet twice, turned around and ran away.
"Girl..." Ming Luan hesitated for a moment, and hurried to catch up.
Shu Huan originally fought back in self-defense, and left Zhang Hanfang angrily. He didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he didn't have to entangle with this unruly girl anymore. But when she looked down and saw the agarwood bracelet in her hand, she suddenly smiled, "It's good, it seems that meeting someone who wants to save face and suffer is sometimes good, at least this time it saved a bunch of aloes.
She put the Chenxiang bracelet on her wrist, and then looked at Zhang Zirong, she felt that this person was not as annoying as his sister, just now he was teasing him with Gu Xiran, he was not very angry, he couldn't help but feel good about him, smiled at him and said : "What happened just now, I'm sorry, it's all a joke, don't be angry."
Zhang Zirong shook his head and said, "I should say sorry, I didn't know before..."
He didn't go on, everything was silent.
Shu Huan lowered his head and sighed softly, but didn't say anything else.
Seeing the two of them talking like this, Gu Xiran was really a little bit pissed, and his face showed signs of turning dark.
Zhang Zirong thought it was funny, and said with a smile: "I'll go back and have a look, before my sister goes crazy and throws something again."
He left as soon as he said that, leaving only Shu Huan and Gu Xiran on the Quqiao.
A strong sense of loss and sadness returned.
Shu Huan didn't want to talk to the person beside him, he just leaned on the bridge railing to watch the fish playing with lotus leaves in the lake, completely pretending that he didn't exist.
After a while of silence, Gu Xiran slowly opened his mouth and said, "Do you want an explanation?"
The corner of Shu Huan's mouth twitched: "No need"
Gu Xiran lowered her eyes and said nothing more.
To explain this kind of thing, the other party must be willing to listen and believe, otherwise it will be an exaggeration. At this moment Shu Huan was in a fit of anger, and he knew that he didn't want to listen. His question was unnecessary.
Gu Xiran sighed softly, and stood beside her with his hands behind his back, watching the picturesque scenery in front of her with her, but there was an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.
Silence is a very strange state.
Sometimes it's embarrassing, sometimes it's depressing, and sometimes it's calming.
Shu Huan's mood changed several times a day, shock, ecstasy, anger, sadness, irritability...
The ups and downs of emotional changes made her very tired. Until now, listening to the birdsong in the distance, blowing the slightly warm and humid lake breeze, and taking two deep breaths, she felt that her emotions were truly real. It calmed down, it was as calm as the surface of a lake, occasionally there was a microwave, but I was a little grateful for Gu Xiran's sense of humor.
The person next to him would annoy her, embarrass her, make her speechless, and like today, make her sad, but there is no way to make her hate it...
Fortunately, this kind of person who makes her helpless, who she can't hate and can't get tired of, is destined not to belong to her, otherwise she will be eaten to death for the rest of her life, and she will not be allowed to live. You can let it go, but if you want to let it go completely, it still takes time—
It's the only thing she doesn't lack right now.
Shu Huan took a deep breath, raised his head, squinted at the distant sky, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Gu Xiran had a panoramic view of her expression, and suddenly felt an inexplicable panic, and involuntarily reached out and held her hand.
Shu Huan was taken aback for a moment, looked up at him, withdrew his hand calmly, turned around and said, "I'm tired, go back."
After all, she still has to go back to the Rose Hall, where else can she go now? However, the roads around her have been cut off, even if there are thorns everywhere outside, she is helpless, and one day she still has to go out to make a living.
Seeing her showing a gesture of rejection all over her body, she turned around decisively—
Gu Xiran's hands were empty, and her heart was also empty.
