Kneel down and beg to return to the field

The two brothers and sisters of the Zeng family could pretend to be ignorant before He Zhi's words, and take advantage of this to gain favor, but He Zhi is not the kind of brazen person who would borrow flowers from the other's family to offer Buddha even for the uncle's birthday.

During this long trip, He Shangshu was afraid that his daughter would suffer hardships on the road, so he gave He Zhi a lot of money to take her with him, and Mrs. He even stuffed a lot of private houses for her in private.As for this jade pendant, He Zhi couldn't afford it, and she needed someone else to buy it as a gift. She raised her head and was about to evade Zeng Mohan's kindness and buy it herself, but found that Wei Lai's expression on the side was a bit wrong.

He Zhi is a keen person, and she discovered the crux of the problem in a blink of an eye—she and Wei Lai grew up in a very different environment. Wei Lai's family has a few acres of Susukida, which can guarantee food and clothing. But she grew up in rich clothes and fine food. 2000 taels is almost unimaginable to Wei Lai, but to her, it is just a number.

Yinhong's lips pursed slightly, and He Zhi put down the jade pendant in her hand with a calm expression. She smiled slightly and said, "It's just for looking at it, but I don't like it very much. Mo Han doesn't have to be so polite. You After all, I was a playmate for many years, so this kind of politeness can be regarded as an outsider."

Although these words sound nice, they are actually a bit repulsive.Zeng Mohan was not stupid, he immediately frowned in annoyance, he only blamed himself for being anxious and abrupt.

Seeing He Zhi's actions, Wei Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It has to be said that when Zeng Mohan said that he would buy the jade pendant and give it to He Zhi, she actually felt very uncomfortable.Because at that moment, she deeply felt the gap between herself and these people, and she and He Zhi were not as close as she imagined.

Fortunately, He Zhi chose to refuse, and chose to worry about Wei Lai's feelings and save Wei Lai's face.

"Since you don't like this jade pendant, Ah Zhi looks at these jade ornaments, but what else can catch your eye?" Zeng Mohan seemed to want to remedy something, and asked again.

He Zhi glanced at the few jade ornaments on the tray. They were not the best, but they should be considered pretty good in this small city of Yuzhou.It's just a pity, but she didn't plan to buy it, so she shook her head slightly immediately.

"In that case, let's go and have a look elsewhere." Zeng Mohan said simply.

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, he had a bitter face. It was so hard for such a group of "distinguished guests" to come, but they left without buying anything?He was obviously not reconciled, seeing that the person hadn't left yet, he hurriedly said: "Hey, miss, if you really like this jade pendant, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price, how about 500 taels?"

He Zhi shook her head lightly, with a faint smile on her face: "Thank you, shopkeeper, but it's unnecessary."

Wei Lai gritted his teeth secretly when he heard this, thinking that this shop is simply a black shop.Before he could negotiate the price, the shopkeeper reduced the price by 500 taels, which was double the price of the house she bought in the capital a few days ago.If they really spent so much money to buy the jade pendant just now, they would really be taken advantage of.

After leaving the store, Zeng Mohan, who Wei Lai had identified as being taken advantage of, dutifully led a few people around the street for a while.It's just that this time He Zhi's mind didn't seem to be here anymore, and she lacked interest all the way, but Zeng Yuwei had her eyes on a lot of things, and bought a lot of big and small bags.

Seeing that it was almost time, He Zhi said, "We have been out for some time, let's go back home now."

Zeng Yuwei was a little unhappy, she pouted and said: "It's not even noon, it's early, what is Sister He doing back home so early?"

He Zhi blinked her eyes when she heard the words, but said with a smile: "I'm a little tired. If Yuwei hasn't had her fill of fun yet, why not let Mo Han accompany you, and Wei Lai and I will go ahead."

This is said so simply that it is impossible to refute it.Zeng Yuwei and Zeng Mohan looked at each other, the siblings didn't say anything more, but they didn't stay and continue shopping as they said, and finally went back to the mansion with them.

Because He Zhi said that she was tired, after returning to the prefect's mansion, He Zhi went directly to the guest room.Wei Lai and the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family looked at each other, they didn't have much friendship with each other, so naturally they had nothing to say, and they broke up after a few polite words.

Wei Lai just went back to his room and drank a cup of tea, then ran to He Zhi's place again.

Knocking on the door, He Zhi didn't take a break, she didn't look surprised when she came, instead she smiled generously and said, "Come in and sit down."

Wei Lai nodded, entered He Zhi's guest room, and consciously did not close the door.When the two sat down at the table and He Zhi picked up the teapot and poured tea for her, she asked, "Jin Rui, didn't you say that you are going to prepare a congratulatory gift? Tomorrow is Mr. Zeng's birthday. If you don't prepare it again, I'm afraid It's a bit late."

When He Zhi heard this, she was not at all anxious, she poured tea for Wei Lai in a leisurely manner, put down the teapot before saying, "It's okay, I've asked Xi Qiu to get it."

Let Xi Qiu pick it up?What did you take?Is it the jade pendant that Miss He saw before?While Wei Lai was a little puzzled, he also felt a little delicate because he remembered the expensive jade pendant.

He Zhi obviously noticed the subtle changes in Wei Lai's expression, but she didn't explain anything, she just sat and waited for Xi Qiu to come back.

Sure enough, after a while, Xi Qiu came back.It's just that what she held in her hand was not the jade pendant that Wei Lai thought it was, but instead she was holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone in her arms.

The guest room in the prefect's mansion is not bad, there is a small study room separated, there are no books in it, but there is a desk.After Xi Qiu came back with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his arms, he went directly to the small study room, arranged everything neatly, and then said, "Miss, everything is ready."

Didn't you say that Xi Qiu went to pick up the gift? What is he doing?Wei Lai was confused for a while, but He Zhi seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "If Wei Lai is confused, why not come and take a look."

As long as the other party is not intentionally aggressive, Wei Lai feels that getting along with He Zhi is actually quite comfortable.At this moment, He Zhi's soft-spoken invitation, Wei Lai couldn't bear to refuse when he heard it, so he nodded his head immediately and answered "OK".

The two got up and entered the small study one after the other.Because it is a guest room, the small study is a bit crude, but for He Zhi, it only needs a table today.

But at this moment, Xiqiu had covered the table with white paper, the brushes, inkstones and so on were also in their respective places, and there were a few small butterflies filled with paints of various colors.When He Zhi and Wei Lai came in, Xi Qiu was grinding an ink stick in the inkstone, and after a while, the thick ink was ready.

Seeing such a posture, even if Wei Lai is illiterate, he should know what He Zhi is going to do... She couldn't help but glance at He Zhi, she had heard that Ms. Is this what you need to see?
