"What are red beans?"

Yuan Ying frowned slightly and said, "Hongdou, the name sounds like it's a bean plant, but naming my horse after a bean is a bit tacky."

Sister Yuan Ying had never heard of such a thing, and they didn't know why Cao Ang suddenly thought of this name.

At this time, Cao Ang cleared his throat, composed himself, and then said: "Red bean is a plant in the south, also called acacia, which does not exist in the Central Plains. It is called acacia because it has an extremely beautiful and sad legend.

.”

After hearing this, Yuan Ying and her brother looked at Cao Ang together.

"It is said that the red beans were actually white at first. During the Han Dynasty, in the Minyue Kingdom, which is south of Kuaiji County, a man was forcibly recruited to guard the border. His wife looked forward to returning all day long. In the second year, everyone who went with her husband returned.

, but her husband did not return. The wife missed her even more. She stood under the tree at the entrance of the village all day long, looking forward to the evening, crying her heart out, and finally she died of tears, and her blood dripped into the soil and seeped into the tree.

Later, a pod suddenly appeared on the tree. The fruit was as bright as blood, as hard as a diamond, and shaped like a heart. It was neither mothed nor rotted, and its color was crystal clear and never faded. The local people had never seen it before.

The local people believe that the fruit is made from the blood and tears of this woman's lovesickness. In order to commemorate this woman, they call the red beans 'lovesickness seed'."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi quickly said: "Sister, that woman is so pitiful!"

After hearing this, Yuan Ying said: "I don't believe that people's blood and tears can turn into beads. I'm afraid future generations will find out about such deeds!"

Yuan Ying's words made Cao Ang speechless for a moment.

Isn’t it said that the most irresistible thing for women is a poignant love story? Why is it useless when it comes to Yuan Ying? Sister, shouldn’t you be so moved?

"Love? In the most touching stories, it can often transcend the separation of life and death."

"love?"

The little girl really didn't understand this thing. Then she suddenly raised her head, looked at Cao Ang and said, "Even if that's true, then why did you give my horse this name? Do you want to commemorate the great love you said?

"

Cao Ang was suddenly speechless by Yuan Ying's sudden question.

Sister, I really don’t have any bad intentions. I am just Yuan Shao’s son-in-law. Do you want to be so sharp? Although I also want you to be my wife, as long as she is Yuan Shao’s legitimate daughter, anyone else can do it.

Fortunately, Cao Ang was prepared, otherwise he would have been really embarrassed.

So Cao Ang said: "Actually, I also suddenly thought of it. Red beans grow in the south. When spring comes, there will be a few branches. I hope you will pick more. This thing is the most loved."

After Cao Ang finished speaking, he took out a string of beads from his arms and said, "Look, these are red beans made from the blood and tears of lovesickness. Their shape and texture are all in the shape of "heart". It is really a big heart with a small heart, and the heart is in harmony.

This was given to me by a friend in the south, and I put it on as a bracelet and gave it to sister Wei Rui."

Yuan Ying took the red bean bracelet. The red color was indeed as bright as blood. When she held it in her hand, she felt a touch of warmth.

Cao Ang saw Yuan Ying looking at the bracelet very carefully and thought she would accept it if she liked it. When he was happy, suddenly Yuan Ying put down the bracelet and looked at Cao Ang.

"Why do you know my name?"

The little girl was obviously unhappy, her eyes were cold and her tone was angry.

Yuan Ying's turn of events clearly caught Cao Ang by surprise. Aren't we talking about bracelets?

"Sister Wei Rui..."

"Don't call my name!"

Cao Ang was a little embarrassed and could only say: "Maybe I don't know who revealed it and I overheard it by chance. But our two families are family friends. My father and your father are good friends. I call your father Uncle Yuan and you my sister."

That’s what it should be.”

Cao Ang can give himself gold at any time.

At this time, Yuan Ying suddenly reached out and twisted Yuan Xi's ears.

"Erlang, is that what you said?"

Yuan Xi quickly begged for mercy.

Yuan Ying didn't let him go until Yuan Xi promised not to talk nonsense again. At this time, Yuan Ying handed the bracelet to Yuan Xi and asked Yuan Xi to return it to Cao Ang, and then said: "The husband of the Cao family is kind to me, and I appreciate it. That's all."

I really don’t dare to accept valuable things. Please ask Mr. Cao family to take the pony and bracelet away!”

Cao Ang was also stunned. Now he really stepped on the horse's hoof. Yuan Ying didn't even want the horse.

In just two meetings, Cao Ang had already felt the pride of this little girl. She was not a person who would compromise. If he forced himself to give something to her, he would probably be even more annoyed.

Cao Ang took the red bean bracelet over and did not take it back. Instead, he turned around and walked to the horse and tied the bracelet around the horse's neck.

"The red bean tree in the south of the Yangtze River has a yearning for each leaf.

The red beans can still be used up, but I miss you forever."

Cao Ang looked back and smiled bitterly: "Since Lady Yuan doesn't like it, then... then leave it to Nanfeng!"

At this time, Yuan Xi whispered to Yuan Ying: "Sister, you shouldn't treat your brother Cao like this. He kindly gave you gifts to please you. How could you compromise his kindness?"

Yuan Ying originally wanted to say something, but when Yuan Xi said this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Do I have to take it away if others want to give it away?"

After saying that, he entered the hall alone.

Cao Ang looked at Yuan Ying's beautiful figure and felt helpless.

And Yuan Xi advised: "Brother of the Cao family, my sister is like this, don't take it to heart."

Cao Ang had no choice but to say: "I will leave this pony with you. You must let your sister take it."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi retreated and said, "Brother Cao family, you don't know how powerful my sister is. I dare not not listen to what she says."

Cao Ang acted rogue.

"Anyway, this is your sister's horse. You have to take good care of it. If she changes her mind that day and you don't take good care of the horse, what do you think your sister will do?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi suddenly thought of the horrible life of being bullied by Yuan Ying, and could only say with a sad face: "I only promise to raise a good horse for you. I really can't guarantee whether my sister will keep it."

"good!"

At this time, Yuan Ying came out of the hall, saluted Cao Ang and said, "The husband of the Cao family will stay here with Xizi. I will go back to the hospital first."

When Cao Ang saw that Yuan Ying was going back, he couldn't stop him, so he had to say: "Just follow the lady's wishes."

At this time, Yuan Ying hesitated a little, and finally asked: "Did the two Hongdou poems be written by the husband of the Cao family?"

"A humble work, handwritten, not worth mentioning."

Yuan Ying glanced at Cao Ang and left without saying anything.

At this time, Cao Ang suddenly said loudly: "Since Lady Yuan will not accept the horse, then I will foster it with Xizi. If Lady Yuan wants to ride it, you can come and get it at any time."

Yuan Ying paused after hearing the footsteps, and then continued walking without looking back.

Cao Ang stared at Yuan Ying's figure closely until the red silhouette disappeared into the snow.

Although Yuan Ying ruthlessly rejected Cao Ang, her free and easy attitude really touched people's hearts.

A handful of red beans brings with it a lot of lovesickness and sadness.
