The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

The brocade bag that Li Peiyan sent contained a wooden carved little rabbit.

The little rabbit sculpture is so lifelike that even the hair on its ears are clearly visible and lifelike. You can tell at first glance that a lot of thought was put into it.

Zhao Mianmian lay beside the table and watched He Xulan open the brocade bag.

The moment the wooden carved rabbit was taken out, both of their eyes lit up.

Zhao Mianmian was thinking that Li Peiyan’s skills were quite good, but she didn’t know how many gold coins a hand-carved wooden rabbit could be exchanged for.

Maybe I could find an opportunity to ask him to carve one for me someday, so that I can contribute to my plan of saving money.

He Xulan, on the contrary, was thinking about the romantic thoughts of a young girl.

"Is this...really for me?"

He Xulan accepted Li Peiyan's gift and was very happy.

But her upbringing as a lady made her cover her mouth and pretend to be calm as she asked Qi Qiu.

"That's what the guards accompanying the carriage said. They said it was a birthday gift for my sister."

"I thought that Mr. Li was Sister Lan's classmate, and it was understandable that he gave Sister Lan a gift when she reached the age of marriage, so I accepted it."

Qi Qiu knew that Old Madam He disliked Li Peiyan, and he also knew that the He family and the Li family belonged to different camps, so there was no possibility of marriage between them.

After repeating the guard's original words, he reminded He Xulan hesitantly:

"Sister Lan, I have delivered the things to you. But if the old lady asks, please don't tell me that it came from my hands."

"You also know that Mr. Li has a special status. If the old lady knew that I delivered things for him in private, I'm afraid she would sell me out!"

Qi Qiu's words were vague, but He Xulan knew in her heart that it was just a birthday gift, not a personal item that could be given privately.

Even if her grandmother found out, she would never sell off her personal maid whom she had employed for more than ten years.

The reason why Qi Qiu said this is to remind himself in a different way! !

So her face darkened, and the little bit of joy that had risen in her heart disappeared, leaving only fear and anxiety.

"It's just a birthday gift, why are you taking it so seriously?"

He Xulan put the rabbit into a brocade bag and asked Zhiyu to put the things into the box in the corner.

On the surface, the matter was covered.

**

He Xulan's birthday is on the eighth day of May.

The He family sent invitations to relatives and friends early on, inviting everyone to come over for a gathering.

Since He Xulan had previously studied at Xunshan Academy, she got to know a lot of people there.

For some adults who had no contact with each other but the younger generations were familiar with each other, He Xulan would personally take the invitations and deliver them.

The age requirement for girls to study at Xunshan Academy is fifteen. Several girls of the same age as He Xulan have all reached marriageable age and are no longer in the academy. Only a few girls younger than her are still there.

So the invitations for He Xulan’s birthday party were all sent out in a short while.

After sending the post, He Xulan thought of He Shiyi and Zhao Mianmian, and went to Chengming Courtyard to see how her younger brothers and sisters were doing with their homework.

As a result, as soon as I stepped into the gate of Chengming Courtyard, I saw Li Peiyan and Zhao Mianmian standing under the locust tree in the corner, talking.

"I heard that you went to Quzhou with your family? Is Quzhou fun?"

Zhao Mianmian didn't know why Li Peiyan suddenly came to her to talk about Quzhou.

She thought of the iron lock worth one gold coin, the invisible small dark room, the bottomless earth pit, and her hair that was burned by the fire. She curled her lips and complained unhappily:

"It's not fun. I wouldn't have gone if I had known."

Seeing Zhao Mianmian pouting with a look of being deceived, Li Peiyan couldn't help but smile.

He smiled, reached out and poked the two little dots on Zhao Mianmian's head, and suddenly changed the subject and talked about the things he had sent to the He family.

"By the way, I heard that you're going to have your birthday next month. Did you receive the gift I sent you?"

Zhao Mianmian's birthday is May 21st, which is ten days later than He Xulan's.

In ordinary wealthy families, no matter whether the birthday is celebrated or not, they have to express their gratitude.

However, right now everyone in the He family is focusing on He Xulan's coming-of-age ceremony. Apart from Dong Zhu, Li Peiyan is the first person to think of Zhao Mianmian's fourth birthday.

Zhao Mianmian couldn't help but widen her eyes, with a look of disbelief:

"How do you know when my birthday is?"

Li Peiyan was amused by Zhao Mianmian's noisy appearance and grinned:

"Don't worry about how I know this. How about that rabbit? It looks great, doesn't it? I spent a whole month carving it!"

Forehead?

Zhao Mianmian blinked and thought to herself:

rabbit??

What rabbit??

Hmm? Rabbit… rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit???

[What the hell? What the hell!!!]

【? ? ? 】

[Rabbit? Is he talking about the wooden carved rabbit that Sister He got a few days ago? ]

[Ah? Wasn't that rabbit a gift for He Xulan? Why did Li Peiyan say that it was a gift for our anchor? ? ? ]

【Oh wow~~~】

[Ah! It’s over, it’s over, anchor, you’re done!

The last time I saw He Xulan accepting Li Peiyan’s gift with a shy look on her face, I knew something was going to happen. Sure enough, she was waiting for the host here.

Host, if your third sister knew that this rabbit was given to you by Li Peiyan and not hers, do you think she would be rude to you at home? ! 】

[No way, it's just a wooden sculpture, it doesn't look like it costs much, she's the eldest daughter of the He family, she can't be that stingy.]

[Money? Is this about money? Do you think everyone is our anchor? ! !

He Xulan is at the age when she is just beginning to fall in love, and what she wants is love and affection.

What's more, the rabbit was carved by Li Peiyan himself. Even if the two of them are not destined to be together in the future, taking it out would be enough to instantly kill all those beautiful girls in Beijing.

In the end, I found out that I had misunderstood and made a big mistake. Would you be angry if this happened to you? ! 】

"Good, good... looks good, looks good... very good."

Zhao Mianmian twitched the corners of her mouth, not knowing how to answer Li Peiyan.

She had just said something in response to what the other person said, and when she looked up, she saw He Xulan standing not far away, staring at the two of them with a sullen face, as if she wanted to eat them alive.

Zhao Mianmian's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

Only the audience in the live broadcast room laughed at her misfortune unscrupulously with the screen full of "Hahahaha".

[Hahahaha, the system is still good at playing! ]

[Tsk tsk tsk, what you fear is bound to happen. Whoever hears it is bad, but He Xulan actually heard it! ]

[Oh no~ I blindly guessed that the host will be in trouble when he goes home.

As the saying goes, a biting dog never barks. Don’t be fooled by the He family sister’s quiet temperament. When it comes to tricks, she may be more powerful than He Shiyi and He Shiyun.

I guess the anchor is going to have a hard time during this period. 】

[Host, don't worry about Li Peiyan anymore. Just think about how to appease your third sister when you get home later.]

Zhao Mianmian:

【QAQ】

【I feel uncomfortable and want to cry.】

When He Xulan heard what Li Peiyan and Zhao Mianmian said, she gritted her teeth and turned away without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Mianmian was so frightened that she immediately left Li Peiyan behind and chased after him.

"Third sister, third sister, third sister, wait, wait for me~~~"

Li Peiyan didn't know what the two sisters were talking about. He frowned slightly, took a step forward, and walked out of Chengming Courtyard.

The three people present did not know that in the attic of the next yard, someone was leaning against the window, taking in everything that was happening in that corner of the academy as if it were a joke.
