"Miss Shi, Young General Jiang, please return this handkerchief to you." Senior Servant Li had used a handkerchief to wash herself clean last night before hurriedly drying herself. She took it off early in the morning, found Shi Yue and handed it over. "These embroidered mandarin ducks are indeed bright, but …" Li mama paused before she finally couldn't help but say, "Miss Shi, logically speaking, I shouldn't say anything about this, but I still have a bit of a relationship with your wet nurse. Before leaving, she repeatedly asked me to take care of you, so I had no choice but to say it. This pair of mandarin ducks could never be embroidered on ordinary items. Since the embroidery was finished, he naturally had to keep it. Yet, you simply lent it out randomly, and it was casually used by others to wrap a piece of cake before being greased and tossed to me. Last night after being washed like this, the mandarin duck embroidered on the handkerchief was also half crippled. This is not a good intention. "

When Shi Yue saw that Senior Servant Li, who was very close to her wet nurse, had arrived, she hurriedly pushed her to sit down and received the handkerchief. Just as she was about to pour some tea, she heard her words and was slightly startled. Ever since I was young, my mother followed my father and took over the post, so she didn't really teach me much. After that, he returned to the capital. In less than two years, he went back. These things were told to me by my nurse. Since Mammy and Mammy are good friends, it's natural for Mammy to tell me some truths. But I have to thank this mama! " After a pause, he continued, "Because the boat was stuffy a few days ago, and I saw that Sister Yuan's orioles, which were embroidered with rainbow threads, were really bright, I learned acupuncture from her. I needed to sew some to see the effect of the needlework, so I embroidered these two mandarin ducks on my handkerchief. When he entered the palace yesterday, he casually picked it up and put it on his body. As he was still young, I thought of him as a child, but I didn't think much of it, so I borrowed him. "Who knew that after he took a sesame seed cake and placed it in Jiang Hua's bag, I couldn't make a sound either."

Senior Servant Li saw that Shi Yue didn't put on Miss Shi's airs, but was talking to her from the bottom of her heart, so she loosened up a bit and tried to help her plan a little. If Shi Yue was able to find a good place to stay, then her wet nurse would naturally follow her and enjoy some good fortune. He had a close relationship with her wet nurse, so naturally, she would be able to help out her daughter and son-in-law if anything happened to them. Thinking of this, he said in a low voice, "Now that the handkerchief is in Jiang Huaian's hands, it's not appropriate to take it back like this. If you have a firm mind, then you should keep it well."

How could Shi Yue not understand what Li mama meant by that? Her face turned slightly red as she said in a low voice, "We've already taken it back, so how can we hand it over? Besides, what if he didn't? I'm afraid he's just embarrassed. " She was originally such a strong person, yet as she spoke, her heart was filled with desolation. His mother was gone. If he wanted to marry a good family, he would have to hand over a handkerchief? If Jiang Huashan really wanted it, he wouldn't return the handkerchief. Now that he had returned it, he would have to hand it over again. It was most likely just to slap his own face!

"From what I see, that Jiang Shaoyang is outstanding at everything. He is just a silly goose when it comes to men and women. Only a girl with sufficient courage and initiative would be able to take him down." Li mama had read too many people, and now she was teaching him. "Look at the General's Wife, wasn't she married into the General's Estate because she tried to stop horses in the streets?" Take a look at the vice general's wife. I heard that she met Vice General Jiang in the Residence of He's garden and said something boldly. Didn't he come up to the Residence of He to propose marriage? "In my opinion, as long as that General Jiang …" As he spoke, he bent his ear over to say a few words.

Hearing that, Shi Yue's face turned as red as blood. She bit her lips and said, "If I fail, I'm afraid I won't have any face left in the future. Let me think about it. "

"At this moment, everyone is staying in the inn. If we meet earlier, we might as well meet later. This is a good opportunity." If you think about it again, after this village, there will be no more shops. " Senior Servant Li looked at the hesitating Shi Yue, then leaned over and said, "When we return home after the embroidery event, when will you have the chance to speak to Young General Jiang in private? If I say so, you might as well test it out. "If you succeed, return to your hometown and wait to become the wife of a major general. If you fail, give up on those thoughts long ago and don't look at him again."

Shi Yue pinched the handkerchief with her fingers, then lowered her head and said, "Please do not tell anyone about this."

Of course, I'm not that kind of person." Senior Servant Li answered, "Besides Jiang, there are quite a few outstanding people in the entourage this time." If the matter of Young General Jiang didn't work, then you might as well pick one from the rest since you're not picky. I'll thread a needle with you and tie it to a thread without leaving a trace. "" No, no. "It would be better if your stepmother competed, but I don't know where!

On the boat, Shi Yue had tried to pry into Jiang Hua An's thoughts, but Jiang Hua An's expression had always been cold. In the end, he wasn't completely confident. Hearing what Li mama said emboldened him. That's right, if it really didn't work out, then he would just stop thinking about Jiang Hua An and only look at the others. He would definitely be more satisfied with them than his stepmother. Previously, when his stepmother's nephew came to the manor, his eyes were filled with disgust. If his stepmother were to consult with his father and not ask him about it, they would agree to marry the nephew. At that time, crying would be useless. He didn't want to take advantage of this time to scheme for himself. With this thought, he calmed himself and said, "Today, thank you for your advice. In the future, I will definitely repay you."

"It's not that I want to repay you, it's just because your mother and I are like sisters that we dare to talk about this." When Senior Servant Li saw that no one was around, she spoke a few more words before flicking her skirt and walking away.

On the other hand, Jiang Huanan had just woken up early in the morning and had just finished his breakfast. However, an official from Beicheng came to discuss the matter of arranging for embroidery ladies to go out for the next five days. After sending off the official, he went back to his room and sat on his chair to look at the schedule. When he heard someone knocking on his door, he thought it was a congratulatory speech. She heard the other side calling out to Elder Brother An, and when she looked up to see Shi Yue, she said lightly, "Miss Shi, is there anything you need?"

"Brother An, I have several handkerchief. Since you've used this before, why don't I leave it for you to use!" Shi Yue had spent the morning dressed up brightly, but she still didn't quite look straight into Jiang Hua An's eyes. She was a little afraid, but Li mama's words were still ringing in her ears. She mustered up the courage to hand over the handkerchief with the mandarin duck embroidered on it and said, "Although this embroidery isn't very good, it's still quite good for coarse use." "If Brother An doesn't mind, then I'll send some to you later."

Jiang looked up and saw that the handkerchief in Shi Yue's hand was the one she had used to wrap the sesame seed cake with yesterday. He recalled He Yuan's expression and immediately understood that Shi Yue's gift of the handkerchief in front of her was very different from the one she had borrowed the sesame seed cake from. He lowered his eyes and said, "I don't usually use this. You can keep it for yourself!"

He was already at this point, but Jiang Huanan still maintained a cold expression. He allowed the handkerchief in his hand to be held in front of him, ignoring him. Shi Yue's courage that she had gathered up for a long time completely dissipated. She rushed out of the door with a flushed face. She rushed out into the yard, crossed the hall, and accidentally ran into someone. She dodged to the side, slipped, and fell to the ground. She didn't even have time to look at them, but covered her face with the handkerchief in her hand, tears streaming down her face.

"Miss, where did you fall?" The person who came was He Cheng's wife's uncle, Yan Meng. This time, he was here for a tour of the country, and when he heard that Shen Wishui and Jiang Hua An were staying at the inn, he rushed over to meet them. As soon as he entered the yard, a pretty girl hit him on the head, falling to the ground and covering her face with a handkerchief. He could not help but be shocked and asked, "Where is the injury? Then we will have someone invite the doctor to come and have a look! " Since the guard had gone in to inform Jiang Hua An that there was no one else in the hall, he panicked. He rubbed his hands together, unsure if he should help Shi Yue up.

"I'm fine!" Shi Yue wiped her tears away with the handkerchief in her hand and stood up with her palms supporting on the ground. When she raised her eyes, she was startled and shouted, "Brother Yan!"

Yan Meng answered with a sound of "Ya": "You are Shi Yue! It's only been a few years, but I've grown up! "

He City's mother-in-law, Shi Ting, was born from a family in the Shi Family. After Shi Ting married into her husband's family, her husband went all the way up to become rich. There was only one thing that was lacking for Shi Ting, and that was that she didn't have a son. She had no choice but to put a son of a concubine under her name, and that son was Yan Meng. Although Yan Meng was born into a concubine and was raised under his mother's name, he studied diligently and had a thin literary name. He had grown up to the age of sixteen but still had not gotten married yet. Because when he was young, he often went to Shi Manor with Shi Ting, so he was very familiar with her. However, ever since Shi Yue's father welcomed her to the room, the room had nothing to say to Shi Ting. In the past few years, Shi Ting had only met with her other sister-in-law, but she was too lazy to meet Shi Yue.

When Yan Meng saw Shi Yue, he couldn't help but smile and pat his head. "Earlier, I heard that there were ten embroidery ladies this time, and one of them was little sister Shi. I just didn't expect that you would run into her." Because Shi Yue's eyes were completely red, she asked again: "Did it really hurt that much just now? Look at you crying! "

Shi Yue answered with a stutter. Hearing that Yan Meng had come to see Jiang Hua An, she turned around and left after saying a few more words. After taking a few steps, he threw the handkerchief in his hand onto the ground and stomped on it a few times. Then, with a flick of his toes, he stepped into a corner and passed through the hall without looking back.

Yan Meng took a few steps forward and turned around to look at Shi Yue. He saw her shadow flash past the hall, and as the wind blew, something floated out from the hall. He narrowed his eyes to look, and it seemed to be Shi Yue's handkerchief. Stunned, he turned around and walked a few steps to pick up the handkerchief. Seeing that the handkerchief was dirty, he only saw that the embroidered pair of mandarin ducks were still bright, so he stuffed it into his pocket after thinking for a while. Yes, I'll look for Sis later and return the handkerchief to her.

Seeing that Yan Meng had arrived, Jiang Hua An welcomed him out of the room and served him some tea. The two of them exchanged a few words. Hearing Yan Meng talk about Shi Yue, Jiang Huanan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Shi is your cousin. They're all missing each other a little, so do you want to meet her?"

Yan Meng said with a smile, "I met her in the hall, but I didn't say anything. A mama is now going to inform you that I'll be going over to see her! "

There was a nanny who came to lead Yan Meng to see Shiyue. Jiang Hua An had been busy all morning before he finally calmed down. He suddenly remembered that He Yuan had misunderstood the matter regarding the handkerchief, so he asked another nanny to invite He Yuan over.

He Yuan was in a daze, and when he heard Jiang Hua An call her over, he recalled the handkerchief he saw yesterday. Although he wasn't too happy about it, he still packed it up and went over.

"Brother An, what's the matter?" When He Yuan arrived at Jiang Huanan's room, he couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw him wave his hand at the nanny to get her to leave. It suddenly occurred to him: Could Jiang Huanan have let a little kid like me deliver the keepsake to him and Shiyue? The scenes often played out this way, letting the young maid or younger brother, younger sister, and the like help the couple deliver the love gifts. Out of the ten embroidery ladies, she was the youngest. Yes, she was quite quick-witted. She was a suitable candidate to hand over the keepsake. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed to be true.

Jiang Huanan poured a cup of tea and passed it to He Yuan. Seeing her stiff and delicate face, her head lowered as she took the cup and placed it in front of the tea table, not even glancing at him, he couldn't help but find it funny. Could it be that he really misunderstood the matter regarding the handkerchief and got angry?

The young maid, the younger brother, and the younger sister, oh, these people were all small characters. They were all small characters. He absolutely could not be these little cannon fodder. He Yuan looked at his nose, looked at his heart, and had a resolute expression.

"Sister Yuan!" Jiang Huashan let out a soft cry as he tried to figure out how he was supposed to explain the matter regarding the handkerchief.

It's here, it's here! Let the child be the messenger. I've said the main content of the message! He Yuan remained calm and collected. He decided that if Jiang Hua An were to raise this request, he would definitely reject him. However, he heard Jiang Huai An say, "Can you give me a handkerchief?"

"No way!" When He Yuan heard Jiang Hua An's words, he immediately rejected him without a second thought. Hmph! You want me to deliver the keepsake to you? Absolutely not! When he finished speaking, he finally realized that Jiang Huanan was asking him to give him a handkerchief, not to help him deliver the keepsake. She opened her eyes wide and asked in astonishment, "What did you just say?"

"I say, can you give me a handkerchief?" Jiang Hua An's tone was extremely gentle as he looked at He Yuan helplessly. He had actually rejected the offer just now, and had asked for another one. If he were to refuse again, ahem, then forget it.

"What handkerchief?" He Yuan suddenly thought of the mandarin duck handkerchief from yesterday. He raised his head and said without thinking, "Didn't Shi Yue give you one?"

"I gave it back to her!"

"Why did you casually take his handkerchief and return it to him?"

"Yesterday, bro borrowed a handkerchief from Shi Yue to wrap a sesame seed cake. After you eat the sesame seed cake, you'll return the handkerchief to her." As Jiang Hua An spoke, he saw He Yuan's face relax and the corners of his lips rise. He hurriedly said, "Give me a handkerchief. From now on, you don't need to borrow anything wrapped up!"

"Then why don't you just buy a towel and put it on your body. It doesn't matter how many things you pack!" He Yuan couldn't help but giggle when he heard Jiang Hua An's words. He wanted me to give him a handkerchief, so why the heck would I need to wrap things up?

"If you don't want to give it to me, then forget it!" Jiang Hua An was a little depressed, but his expression remained calm. He whispered, "I'll go out and buy a ready-made handkerchief tomorrow."

"How would I say no?" He Yuan hurriedly tried to defend himself. When he saw a slight smile on Jiang Huanan's face and his bright eyes, he was greatly embarrassed. He stood up and said, "I'm leaving!"

"I'll wait for your handkerchief!" "Just a pair of wild ducks will do!" Jiang Huarian shouted from behind.

Are you afraid that no one will hear you, or what? He Yuan's face turned completely red again. He ran off without a trace.
