Taming the villain little fox (wearing a book)

The outer study room of Xie's mansion is very large, the furnishings are restrained and simple, and the large bookshelves on the entire wall made of rosewood are full of thread-bound books.

There was an unclosed door on the east side of the study, and an embroidered curtain hung on the door to block Wei Yan's probing sight.

"Master, long time no see." Wei Yan calmed down and bowed.

I haven't seen him for several months, but Duanmu Chang'an has grown a lot taller, but his face is pale, and there is a slight bleak look between his eyebrows and eyes. It seems that he has not yet come out of the grief of losing his wife.

Duanmu Changan sat down at the first seat in the reception area, and pointed to the second seat.

Wei Yan thanked you for your seat.

After the servant served the tea, Duanmu Changan suddenly became fascinated looking at the cup in his hand, and did not speak for a long time.

The room was so quiet that there was only the sound of teacup lids clinking on teacups.

Wei Yan is very calm, if he doesn't say anything, she will be bored. As for whether it's embarrassing or not, that's not something she should consider.

After an unknown amount of time, Duanmu Chang'an finally let out a long sigh, and said, "You reminded my wife, but my wife didn't listen, which eventually turned into a regret... But I have to thank you anyway."

Wei Yan was speechless, but just chatted a few words in private, how did it fall into his ears?And, what is "but anyway"?What does it have to do with her?

"My lord's condolences." She said dryly, waiting for the next sentence.

Duanmu Chang'an did not answer.

It was time for another cup of tea, but he still had no intention of opening his mouth.

Wei Yan was a little strange, since he didn't want to say anything, what did he ask her for?

She frowned, could it be because of Li County?Perhaps, she shouldn't be too calm.

It is not too late to mend the situation.

"Is the reason why the Master called the Minnv over because the Minnen reminded the Concubine?" Wei Yan rubbed his feet uncomfortably, lowered his head, and said, "At that time...the Minnv couldn't be allowed to talk too much, and the Concubine would not be able to talk too much. Say……"

"Everyone has his own life, no wonder you. You have fulfilled your responsibilities, I just want to thank you for calling you here." Duanmu Changan interrupted Wei Yan, and put the teacup in his hand on the high table, "Your father I haven't congratulated you on becoming a scholar, how about it, will Uncle Wei pass the test this autumn?" After speaking, he looked at the young man waiting beside him.

The young man hurried forward and refilled the tea for Duanmu Chang'an and Wei Yan.

"Thank you for your inquiry, my father is going to try the depth." Wei Yan was indeed thirsty, picked up the small blue and white porcelain cup, tilted her neck, and drank another cup.

Her fingers were long and strong, and the fingertips were slightly rough, but there were obviously no traces of hard work or wielding knives and guns.

"Hmm." Duanmu Chang'an glanced at Wei Yan's hand twice, and said again, "Where are Qin Zai and Xu Fei?"

"They are still young, let's talk about it in two years."

"Hmm... I'll send Changning back to the academy tomorrow, and you inform them that we will meet in the evening."

"Okay, go to my house, I'll ask my mother to cook some dishes."

"Don't bother, I'll let someone set up a place." Duanmu Changan waved his hand, "I heard that Xu Fei's mother and sister were injured by soldiers from the Dazhen Kingdom. The injuries are not serious."

Wei Yan's heart skipped a beat, "Fortunately, thanks to Shi Ziye, if the army hadn't arrived in time, more people would have died."

"You don't need to thank me. You should thank that unknown hero. If it wasn't for her, the battle in Li County would not have ended so quickly. The imperial court has already decreed that not only should this person be rewarded, but also ten thousand taels of silver."

Duanmu Chang'an was playing with the teacup in his hand, but his peripheral vision was always on Wei Yan's face, as long as she was flustered or complacent, his guess would come true.

Ordinarily, when he said something on the head and on his feet, he was neither abrupt nor unexpected when he mentioned this matter. As long as Wei Yan was a little emotionally unstable, it would be seen by others——the man Sima Yan brought by his side Staff members are best at observing words and expressions.

But who is Wei Yan?

She is a person who has lived in the apocalypse for ten years, and the composure of "Mount Tai collapses in front of her without changing her face" is a basic quality for her.

"Wanliang!" Wei Yan sighed enviously, and said regretfully: "What a pity, what a pity. I heard people say that it was the Lord of the Earth who appeared! Master, do you think Mr. Zhou will rebuild the small temple? son?"

"It's not the Lord of the Land. That man was seen when he went down the city wall." Duanmu Chang'an looked directly into Wei Yan's eyes.

"Oh?" Wei Yan was even more surprised, "Then he got rich? Did you find that person?"

Her eyes are bright and glowing, like a little civet cat that smells fishy, ​​she has a bit of wildness, but it makes people feel cute and interesting.

"The portrait has been painted, it should be soon." Duanmu Changan said.

Wei Yan sighed, "It's really not the land lord. My father is right, the legends are indeed deceiving."

Duanmu Chang'an couldn't see any clues from Wei Yan's speech and behavior, so he stood up, took two boxes of brushes from the writing desk, and said, "Xuancheng Zihao is for Miss Wei and Naidi."

This is what it means to end the temptation.

Wei Yan accepted the gift in return, took her leave and left.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, Sima Yan came out of the inner room with his hands behind his back, chose a chair at random and sat down, raised his legs, and said, "This little girl is innocent and natural, without flaws."

Duanmu Chang'an sat down beside him and said, "This woman must not be simple."

"Why? There is no evidence, just three coincidences?" Sima Yan spread his hands to express his incomprehension.

The first coincidence is that Wei Yan happened to save Duanmu Chang'an, and Wei's family climbed up to the North Hou Mansion of Zhenbei; It was the land master's apparition in Li County, Wei Yan happened to return to his hometown, and went to Lijiabao that night.

One of the three things is more difficult than the other. Sima Yan really can't imagine how a country girl can be so capable, so it must and can only be attributed to a coincidence.

"Tomorrow, I will try to prove it." Duanmu Changan said.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Sima Yan was very interested.

Duanmu Chang'an said something like this.

Sima Yan laughed loudly, and clapped his green fingertips on the armrest of the chair, "Okay, this is a good idea, and it should have some effect. Unexpectedly, people who like Yangmou will be terrible once they start plotting."

Duanmu Changan accepted the praise with no expression and guilt.He is a famous general, and he likes magic weapons the most. Improving the overall strength of the army is his lifelong pursuit.

Sima Yan said again: "I think this little girl is pretty good, she is more refreshing than the girls in the boudoir, and she is just right to stay with you in Liaoxi Mansion. She must be thirteen, how about trying to bring her here in two years? ?”

"Although that girl is ruthless, she is not a bad person. If you turn outsiders into your own, don't you let those secrets be taken away by you?"

Duanmu Chang'an shook his head, said: "Wei San has already engaged in a verbal marriage, a gentleman does not take what others like."

"Hey, you kid really thought about it, when did you get so excited, tell me quickly?" Sima Yan joked.

Duanmu Changan closed his mouth tightly.

"When you talk about women, you are cowardly." Sima Yan slapped the table with hatred, "I think you will reveal your meaning tomorrow, and let her father find a way to get rid of that kid, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Don't be like me, even cooked ducks can fly." Sima Yan felt a little regretful when he mentioned Wei Lan, "But..."

"What?" Seeing Sima Yan looking at him with a strange expression, Duanmu Changan couldn't help asking.

Sima Yan frowned, finally made up his mind, and said, "Why don't you marry Wei Lan?"

"You want to win over Duke Wei?" Duanmu Chang'an asked.

"Forget it, that girl's background is not good, pretend I didn't say it." Sima Yan said hastily, his father has already gained the upper hand, and the form is very good, there is no need to sacrifice his brother's marriage.

"With her status, the position of side concubine is also a great fortune for her." Duanmu Changan said.

Sima Yan shook his head, "Forget it, the Duke of Wei is loyal to the emperor, and his direct ministers will definitely obstruct him in every possible way. There is no need to go to war with him just because of a girl."

The corners of Duanmu Chang'an's tight lips loosened, and he said, "I promised the Song family for three years, let's talk about it after three years."

After Song's death, he took his son and ruined his body. He should take the initiative to guard Song for three years.

Sima Yan patted Duanmu Changan's arm heavily, "You are too affectionate, either good or bad."

Duanmu Chang'an said in a deep voice: "Third Master, that is my cousin who grew up with me."

Sima Yan nodded, expressing his understanding, and consciously changed the topic.

But Duanmu Chang'an fell into thinking, he thought, with Wei Yan's personality, he couldn't be a concubine, but with Wei Lan's current status, he could be a stepmother.

When he thought of Wei Lan crying and rushing into the delivery room, saying that the baby was still alive, and helping him separate the baby from the mother and slapping the baby's buttocks, he was filled with gratitude.

He appreciates the strong Wei Yan, but the type he likes is Wei Lan, a good girl who is soft but strong.

If he had to marry one, he would prefer Wei Lan.

He could tell that Wei Lan also liked him, and it started as early as in Lijia Village, and Wei Yan had only Qin in his eyes from the beginning to the end.

……

Wei Yan left Xie's mansion, talked with two big carpenters, and decided on the decoration, seeing that there was still time to go, so she went to Yinlou Street, Yuhua Street.

The jade bracelet worn by the second aunt Li was really beautiful, and Xu praised it enviously several times.

Since she refused to take the mutton fat jade bracelet, she had to buy a new one.

Wei Yan was impatient to compare back and forth. Hearing that Yuhua Silver House is the largest, best and most comprehensive one in the provincial capital, she wanted to go and have a look and buy if she found something suitable.

"Xiaoyan?" She was just about to find a suitable parking space when she heard someone call.

Wei Yan looked at the source of the sound, and saw Daya and Wei Lan coming out of the Yuhua Silver Building.The two were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there were two beautiful maids behind them. They really looked like the cousins ​​of the Duke's Mansion.

She stopped the car and said with a smile, "Do you want to buy jewelry?"

The big girl proudly touched Bu Yao, who was inlaid with gold and jade on her head, "Yeah, I bought a few sets of jewelry, and I'm going back now, and my third... younger sister also came to visit?"

"Well, buy something." Wei Yan said.

"Ah, the things on this street are not cheap." Da Ya knew that Wei Yan could make money, but she didn't think Wei Yan could make enough money to buy jewelry on this street.

"Sister, our Wei Yan is a little rich woman." Wei Lan patted the eldest girl to signal her not to talk nonsense, then took out a small wooden box from the small bag that the maid was holding, and said with a smile: "Third sister, The second sister also picked out a few things for you just now, a hairpin, two pairs of earrings, and three pearl flowers, if you like it, you don't need to go shopping."

"This..." Wei Yan was embarrassed to take it.

"It's all my sisters, take it, you deserve it." Wei Lan took Wei Yan's hand and stuffed the box into her hand.

Wei Yan smiled, you plot against me, I plot against you, you are not even considered friends, you really don't deserve it.

Forget it, it's time to return the gift.

After sending the two sisters away, Wei Yan found a place to park the mule cart and entered Yuhua.

The Yuhua Silver Building is indeed very big, and the jewelry is high-end and elegant. The style and quality are not inferior to the jewelry sold in her group. She took a general look, then went to the earrings counter, and picked out a pair of gold gourd earrings with a unique design. .

The store clerk packed the earrings in a small black lacquered lacquer box smaller than an apple, and handed them to Wei Yan respectfully.

Wei Yan took it over and took a look, she was a little dazed for a moment, she finally understood why the items in this shop were so expensive.

——The packaging is too beautiful and exquisite.

"The box on your left is from Cuihua Pavilion across the street. They are usually used to hold old-fashioned discounted jewelry. Our shop only uses this kind of lacquer box." Seeing that Wei Yan compared the two boxes in his hand, the clerk hurriedly explained. One sentence.

Wei Yan laughed "puchi", and said to himself: "Okay, since that's the case, let's forget about returning the gift."

She looked at the lacquer box again, entered the group interface intently, rummaged through several lacquerware shops, and finally came to a conclusion: the one in her hands is the best, with materials, carvings, The colors and patterns are top-notch.

This business should be possible, just to make up for the depression in the off-season of seafood.

"Brother, where is Fu Hengtai?" she asked.

"The capital city is the most famous lacquerware shop in our Dashun Dynasty." The guy said with a smile.
