happy match

What are you laughing at? Is your smile pretty?What electricity!

Ye Qinglan stared back without a trace.I will never admit that he raised his eyebrows and smiled like this, it is really a mess of good-looking.

When Gu Xinian saw her staring at him, instead of being angry, he found it funny.

Obviously it's been a long time since I saw you.But the days between them didn't make them feel alienated at all.On the contrary, there is a subtle feeling that slowly precipitates and ferments.Just looking at her like this made him feel happier than ever.Like a willow branch gently blown by a gust of spring breeze brushing across my cheeks, I felt a little itchy in my heart.It is also like a orchid slowly blooming in front of the eyes, making people reluctant to take their eyes off.

It's been a long, long time since he was in the mood to appreciate a woman's frown and smile like this...

Gu Xiyu didn't notice anything wrong, but Ye Qingning beside her was much more sensitive.I always felt that Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan a little more, and the smile in his eyes made her even more apprehensive.

Towards Gu Xinian, Ye Qingning's girlish feelings that had just begun to fall in love have dissipated for more than ten years, but there is always a trace of unwillingness and sadness that she never got.She was never willing to express this obscure feeling, even to Ye Qinglan.Perhaps, subconsciously, she had already faintly noticed that Gu Xinian was special to Ye Qinglan, but she refused to admit this fact to herself...

Ye Qingning pursed her lips, suppressed her complex and unspeakable emotions, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I kept you waiting."

"It's okay to wait." Gu Xinian said with a leisurely smile.Obviously, he is in a good mood today.A smile came into his eyes, completely different from the indifferent and polite smile of the past.

Except for Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning quickly noticed this.

"Yu'er, everything is settled!" Gu Xinian asked gently.

Gu Xiyu hummed.

"You live in the Huancui Pavilion. From now on, you will go in and out with Cousin Lan and Cousin Ning. Be obedient and don't cause trouble for them..."

Ye Qinglan made up her mind to remain silent to the end, she simply lowered her eyelids, and resolutely refused to look up at Gu Xinian.Can hide from the eyes.But he couldn't hide from his ears.Gu Xinian's low and pleasant voice penetrated into her ears annoyingly, disturbing her uneasy.

Ye Qinglan collected herself and muttered silently in her heart.I didn't hear anything, and my mood was very peaceful.After repeating it several times, it finally had some effect, and I felt a little calmer.

Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan who bowed her head and said nothing.The smile in his eyes deepened, and he suddenly smiled leisurely: "Cousin Lan has always been eloquent, why didn't she say a word today?"

Ye Qinglan could naturally hear the banter and ridicule in the words.He raised his head almost reflexively and counterattacked: "Cousin Gu praised me a lot. In front of you, how can I be called eloquent?"

Look into those smiling and cunning eyes.It was only when I realized that I had been fooled that I felt a little annoyed.Aren't you determined not to talk to him today?Why are you talking to him again...

Gu Xinian said with a slow smile: "Cousin Lan, you don't have to be too self-effacing. I think so. Cousin Lan is the most eloquent girl I've ever seen in my life."

Why did a flattery that was so commonplace turn sour in his mouth?Ye Qinglan responded with a half-smile: "Thank you Cousin Gu for your praise, I'm really ashamed."

Before, she had been refusing to look him in the eye.But at this moment, the two looked at each other, but she couldn't avoid it, so she could only look back calmly.

Today's Gu Xinian did not wear official uniforms, but still wore plain brocade robes.Dress as usual.But for some reason, it was subtly different from before.The original Gu Xinian.Trying to be low-key and restrained, although the beauty is outstanding and the brilliance cannot be concealed, it gives people a gentle and indifferent feeling.

But at this moment, his bright eyes had a trace of vigor that he didn't have in the past, and his demeanor became more confident and calm.It was like a dusty sword wiping off the dust all over its body. Although it was not out of its sheath, it exuded a compelling coldness and sharpness unconsciously.It is impossible to ignore.This kind of Gu Xinian is more lively than before, and also more calm in the top position.

In the past few months, the changes in him are really not small.It seems that the officialdom is really a place to test people.Even if he wanted to keep a low profile and hide his clumsiness, it would not be easy...

"Lunch is ready," Mrs. Zheng walked in with a smile, breaking the delicate atmosphere in the hall: "Come here, all of you!"

Gu Xinian was the first to agree and stood up.

Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, deliberately slowed down, and entered the dining room with Gu Xiyu.

There were not many people today, and Mrs. Zheng used the rosewood dining table that she usually uses.This round dining table is not too big, just enough for five or six people to sit.

Mrs. Zheng sat at the top, Ye Qingning sat on Mrs. Zheng's left, and Mrs. Gu Xinian sat on Mrs. Zheng's right.Gu Xiyu naturally sat next to Gu Xinian, so Ye Qinglan sat right between Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu.There was Gu Xiyu in the middle, and she avoided sitting face to face with Gu Xinian, Ye Qinglan expressed her satisfaction.

Well, it's a bit cowardly to hide like this.But now her mood is in a mess like a mess, she doesn't know what attitude to use to face Gu Xinian.So, it's better to hide.

Ye Qinglan lowered her head and ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, she couldn't taste it.

Gu Xinian picked up a lot of Gu Xiyu's favorite meals and put them into the bowl in front of her, Gu Xiyu protested softly: "Brother, don't pick up any more, I can't finish eating."

However, Gu Xinian turned a deaf ear to it, and brought over vegetables as usual, filling the bowl to the brim in a short while.

Gu Xiyu immediately made a bitter face.She has always had a habit of eating all the dishes in the bowl.Brother is also very clear about this point.Taking care of her for lunch on weekdays, at most half a bowl is enough.But what happened to big brother today, is he trying to kill her?

As if he didn't see her bitter face, Gu Xinian gently coaxed: "Yu'er, be good, eat quickly."

How can she finish eating!Gu Xiyu had a rare flash of inspiration, and had an idea, picked up some of the dishes piled high in the bowl and sent them to Ye Qinglan's bowl: "Cousin Lan, don't worry about eating, eat more dishes."

Ye Qinglan didn't notice it for a while, and quickly ate it.After eating, I remembered one thing.This is a dish that Gu Xinian's chopsticks picked up, and Gu Xiyu picked it up for herself.Isn't this equivalent to Gu Xinian picking up vegetables for himself?

Well, it seems a little pretentious to think so.But she couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and she quickly glanced at Gu Xinian.

Gu Xinian didn't seem to notice that Ye Qinglan was watching him secretly, and he still ate at a leisurely pace, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Gu Xiyu was very happy that she thought of a good way, and simply divided half of the dishes in the bowl to Ye Qinglan.He whispered flatteringly, "I can't finish eating so much, please help me eat some."

……

All the dishes are in her bowl, so I can't do without "helping"!

Ye Qinglan could only smile and nod her head, and ate all the dishes in the bowl.When he thought that these dishes had been touched by the chopsticks in Gu Xinian's hand, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, ripples rippled for a long time.

After eating lunch, Gu Xinian sat down for a while, then politely said goodbye: "...Auntie, I have something to do, so I have to leave. Yu'er will ask Auntie to take care of her."

Finally going!Ye Qinglan's spirit suddenly lifted.

I heard Mrs. Zheng laughing and said: "You are still so polite with me. Xiyu is willing to come and stay for a while, and I am too happy to be an aunt." After speaking, she got up and saw her off.

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't have to send me off, as long as Yu'er can send me off. I happen to have something to say to Yu'er in private."

Having said that, Zheng naturally couldn't insist on giving it away, so he nodded with a smile.

Gu Xiyu got up to see Gu Xinian off, seeing that Ye Qinglan didn't stand up with her, she begged in a low voice: "Cousin Lan, I'm not familiar with the road in the mansion, you can accompany me to see off elder brother!"

No matter how reluctant Ye Qinglan was, she could only force a smile in response.

Ye Qingning was supposed to send Gu Xinian off with her, but Gu Xinian didn't take a second look at her, and Gu Xiyu didn't call her. What's the matter with her following the past like this?

Ye Qingning watched Gu Xinian leave lightly, watched Ye Qinglan go out with Gu Xiyu to see them off, and she didn't know what it was like.Unconsciously, he tightened the veil in his hand.

Is it her illusion?Why does she always feel that there is always something subtle and wrong between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan during this meeting...

"Ning'er, why are you in a daze?" Zheng's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Ye Qingning squeezed a smile hastily: "It's nothing, I haven't finished embroidering my pair of pillow covers, so I'll go back first." After saying that, she got up and left.

Looking at Ye Qingning's back, Mrs. Zheng frowned slightly.Can she still not forget Gu Xinian?Every time I see Gu Xinian, I always worry about gains and losses, and it won't work if I continue like this.In a few months, she will be married.How can I pretend to be another man in my heart.No, I have to find a chance to explain her properly!

On this side, Ye Qinglan accompanied Gu Xiyu to send Gu Xinian out of Luomeiyuan.

The early spring is still a bit chilly, but fortunately, the sun is shining brightly today, and it is warm and warm on people's bodies.There are several plum blossoms in the garden, and there is a faint fragrance in the air.

"Yu'er, that plum blossom is just in bloom." Gu Xinian stopped in his tracks, and praised with a smile, "Put a branch off and put it in a bottle. It's perfect for practicing pens and copying. Now go pick a branch and open it." Yes, preferably with branches."

Gu Xiyu obeyed Gu Xinian's words, and immediately responded with a smile, and trotted over with her skirt in her hands.

Only Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian were left on the path.
