After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 566 Awkward Chat

Qian Duoduo took a short rest in the afternoon and went to her small study to read a book, but she didn't expect Chunxia to come over and say that Yang Chuyi came to see her specifically, which surprised her.

"Xin'er, I just heard that you were back, so I wanted to come and see you, but I thought that you and your mother must have a lot to say, so I didn't come to disturb you. I wonder if coming here to disturb you now?" Yang Chuyi said in a sisterly manner.

"Thank you for your concern, cousin. Come in. Chunxia, ​​bring some cakes and tea."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Xin'er is reading. What kind of books does he like to read? If you don't have enough here, I have some over there. When you are free, you can ask your maid to go over and choose and see if there is any you like. If there is, bring it over and read it."

"Thank you, cousin. I have enough for now. My father and brothers helped me find a lot. Anyway, I am not going to take the imperial examination, so I am just looking around."

"That's right. Although we women don't rely on the imperial examination, it is still useful to read more books."

Qian Duoduo at least recognized Yang Chuyi on this point.

"Xin'er, come and take a look. This is a handkerchief that I embroidered stitch by stitch for you. I hope you don't dislike it."

Yang Chuyi smiled, her eyes full of love and care, and spoke gently like a loving older sister.

Qian Duoduo, who was sitting nearby, stared at the exquisite handkerchief in front of him with suspicion, thinking to himself:

Normally, I have little interaction with Yang Chuyi, so why did she suddenly send me a handkerchief today?

However, despite his doubts, he quickly stretched out his hands and took the handkerchief respectfully.

After taking the handkerchief, Qian Duoduo looked at it carefully.

The handkerchief is soft and smooth, with a gorgeous peony embroidered on it. The petals are layered and lifelike, as if they could bloom from the handkerchief at any time; the emerald green leaves are even more delicate and lifelike, with the veins clearly visible, which makes people sigh at the exquisite embroidery.

"Wow! This is so beautiful!" Qian Duoduo widened her eyes, her mouth opened as if an egg could be stuffed in. She looked at the handkerchief in front of her in disbelief and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Such exquisite embroidery is simply a work of god!" She marveled at it and couldn't help but gently stroke the delicate and exquisite needlework patterns on the handkerchief.

I saw a gorgeous peony embroidered on the handkerchief, with layered petals and bright colors, as if there was really a fragrance of flowers wafting from it.

Each petal is embroidered vividly, and even the strands of stamens are clearly visible. The green leaves dotted around it further highlight the elegance of the peony flowers, which are stretched or curled in different postures, just like living things.

Qian Duoduo carefully examined the handkerchief and secretly sighed:

The embroidery is so exquisite that I wonder how much effort and time it took to complete such a masterpiece.

Objectively speaking, this handkerchief is indeed embroidered very well, both the needlework and the composition are flawless.

It is not just an ordinary handkerchief, but more like a fine work of art that makes people love it.

Yang Chuyi was very disdainful of Qian Duoduo's expression, thinking that he was just from the country after all and had never seen good things.

But this handkerchief was indeed embroidered by the best embroiderer, so she would not waste time embroidering this.

"As long as you like it, it proves that I haven't wasted my time in vain." Yang Chuyi said with a smile.

"Cousin, how can this be a waste of time? Look, your skills are so good, of course you should embroider more, so that your skills will get better and better. In the future, embroidering a purse or something will be a piece of cake." Qian Duoduo also said jokingly.

"You! You just know how to make fun of me."

Yang Chuyi's cheeks were flushed, as beautiful and juicy as a ripe apple, and she actually said this shyly.

After saying this, her eyes as clear as autumn water drooped slightly, as if she didn't dare to look at the person in front of her.

Chun Xia, who was standing by, silently took a step aside. She was originally thinking about showing a disgusted expression, but a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: This is my young lady's cousin! It's not good to do this.

As a result, Chunxia's face, which had no expression to begin with, became even more expressionless.

At this time, Qian Duoduo looked at Yang Chuyi's series of reactions and felt completely confused.

She really didn't understand why Yang Chuyi suddenly became like this. Their relationship was really not that good. Could it be that she was possessed by evil spirits as people often said?

Qian Duoduo shook his head slightly.

She didn't think Yang Chuyi came to see her to show her goodwill or reminisce about the past. Then she heard Yang Chuyi say:

"Xin'er, how was your conversation with mother today?"

Qian Duoduo then realized that he was waiting for her here, either to gather information or to test her opinion.

She decided, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."

The relationship between the two of them was just so-so, and she didn't want to rush to care about her. It would be bad if she got into trouble.

"It's good. My mother thinks I've lost weight, but I've obviously gained weight. Maybe there is a kind of thinness called "my mother thinks you're thin."

You are right, cousin. Mother always says that my sister and I eat too little, like a kitten, and asks us to eat more. But I think I eat a lot, oh, it's really worrying. "

"Haha, mother still cares about us. She always thinks that girls who are a little fatter are blessed. By the way, next year you will marry the fourth prince. Are you ready?"

"I really don't know about this. I haven't had the chance to ask my mother yet. You've reminded me of this. I'll ask my mother when I have time."

The two of them chatted idly like this, and the atmosphere seemed a bit weird and dull.

No matter how skillfully Yang Chuyi guided the topic, trying to dig out Qian Duoduo's inner thoughts or obtain some useful information, Qian Duoduo always behaved like a careless and simple-minded person.

Faced with the questions raised by Yang Chuyi, Qian Duoduo would either answer them casually with a laugh and pass over the topic, or simply ask Yang Chuyi the question directly, kicking the ball back to her and letting her answer it herself.

After going back and forth like this, Yang Chuyi still couldn't get the answer she wanted from Qian Duoduo.

Time passed slowly in this somewhat awkward conversation, and even the maids standing by to serve them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Finally, after a series of futile attempts, Yang Chuyi realized that it would be a waste of effort to continue.

So she sighed softly, got up and said goodbye.

Qian Duoduo was still sitting there with a nonchalant smile on his face, seemingly unaware of how unsmooth the communication just now was.
