happy match

Mrs. Zheng greeted her hurriedly, complaining distressedly: "You drank too much last night, why are you going out to drink today? I know you drink well, but drinking too much can hurt your health. You have to be careful."

Gu Xinian explained with a smile: "I'm going to the banquet with His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness doesn't drink much, so I have to help block it." When he mentioned the Prince, his tone was still very calm.

Mrs. Zheng quietly looked at Gu Xinian's expression, and was a little relieved when she saw that his expression was as usual.

After becoming the Minister of the Household Department, Gu Xinian resumed contact with the crown prince.Mrs. Zheng always felt uneasy in her heart, and she was afraid that Gu Xinian would turn against the prince if he was in a hurry.Shen Qiuyu's marriage a few years ago was a huge blow to Gu Xinian.It's normal for him to have resentment towards the crown prince, but this nonchalant communication now makes her uneasy.He wanted to ask a few questions, but Gu Xinian was a master of all kinds of tricks, and he always dealt with it lightly.

After a few times, Mrs. Zheng stopped asking questions.As long as Gu Xinian can pass his test, there shouldn't be any unpleasant things happening again.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Gu Xinian.He drank several times in a row, no matter how good he was, he couldn't bear it.His brows were unconsciously furrowed slightly, but his eyes were calm and deep.

This person's mind is too deep, and no one can guess what he is planning.In her previous life, she hated the prince to the bone, so she forced the prince down from the horse.Now he is standing in the prince's camp again...

Madam Zheng was busy making sober tea, Gu Xinian naturally sat beside Ye Qinglan.

As they got closer, the strong smell of alcohol drifted over.Ye Qinglan murmured inwardly.With such a strong smell of alcohol, I don't know how much he drank.

A slightly magnetic voice rang in my ears: "The maid serving wine accidentally knocked over the wine bowl, and half of the bowl of wine spilled on my clothes, so the smell of wine was scary. Actually, I didn't drink much."

Is this an explanation?

Ye Qinglan felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, but she jokingly said, "It's so good, why did the servant girl overturn the wine bowl? Maybe Cousin Gu took another look at him!"

Gu Xinian smiled casually: "Cousin Lan misunderstood, she must have looked at me more." He didn't have the habit of molesting maids.It was the servant girl who peeked at him and lost his mind, and overturned the wine bowl.

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled.It's not very tasty.

Heart of beauty in everyone.Don't think that only men like to look at beautiful women. In fact, women also like to look at handsome men.Gu Xinian's disastrous appearance is always the focus of the crowd wherever he goes.If it tastes like this, she will have to soak in the vinegar vat in the future.

Gu Xinian saw that her expression was normal, she didn't look like she was enjoying herself.I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.Is this girl too magnanimous or is she too indifferent to him?

Gu Xiyu interjected: "Brother, cousin Lan is going back tomorrow."

Gu Xinian smiled, and then asked nonchalantly, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" She was afraid to avoid Ye Yuanzhou, why was she in such a hurry to go back home?Do you want to go back and visit Cui Yu...

Ye Qinglan didn't see anything wrong with him this time, and explained with a smile: "It's my birthday in a few days, so I have to hurry back."

Gu Xinian relaxed slightly.There was a smile in his eyes again: "I'm going to the government office tomorrow morning, and I just happened to take you back on the way."

Gu Xiyu and Mrs. Zheng looked over at the same time.strangeness.Wasn't he in conflict with Ye Qinglan before?Why did they suddenly become... harmonious?

Ye Qinglan didn't expect that he would personally send her back, so she immediately declined politely: "Don't bother Cousin Gu, just send a carriage to take me back."

Gu Xi responded young and casually: "Anyway, it's on the way, there's no trouble."

Speaking of this, it would seem too obvious to refuse again.Ye Qinglan could only thank her with a smile.Seeing the tiredness in Gu Xinian's brows, he felt a little distressed.Smiling to Mrs. Zheng: "Auntie, it's getting late. We should go back and rest."

She and Gu Xiyu were about to leave, and Gu Xinian got up naturally: "I'm tired too. It happens to be on the same road, let's go back together."

Mrs. Zheng replied with a smile, looking thoughtfully at the figures of the three leaving together.

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu walked side by side, and Gu Xinian followed at a leisurely pace, his gaze fell on her slender back.From time to time, her low-pitched smile could be heard in her ear, quietly penetrating into the bottom of her heart, causing an unspeakable commotion.

It's a pity that with Gu Xiyu around and a bunch of maids, it's really not easy to find an excuse to be alone...

Ye Qinglan looked back occasionally, and met Gu Xinian's deep eyes.His heart beat suddenly faster, and his cheeks felt a little hot.Fortunately, it was night at this time, and night was the best cover.No one noticed the flush on her face.

During this period, the two of them did not speak.Just walking forward silently one after the other, each with a faint sweetness in their hearts.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Ye Qinglan led several maids to bid farewell to Madam Zheng.Gu Xiyu wanted to personally see her to the door, but Gu Xinian said with a faint smile: "There's no need to be so hard to leave, I'll pick up Cousin Lan to accompany you in a few days."

Gu Xiyu was naturally happy when she heard this, she nodded repeatedly, and did not insist on sending Ye Qinglan away.Thus, Gu Xinian finally had the chance to be alone with Ye Qinglan.

It is not appropriate to say that it is alone.A few servant girls followed at a distance, and there was no chance to speak privately.

"Your elder brother is here too, be careful when you go back." Gu Xinian lowered his voice and urged.

Ye Qinglan responded in a low voice: "I know, I will be careful. You don't have to worry about me all the time."

How can you not worry?Only men know men best.When a man is deeply in love and cannot extricate himself, there is no sense at all.What's more, the extraordinary things that Ye Yuanzhou did in his previous life were not one or two.He can rest assured that there is a ghost.

If he could deal with Ye Yuanzhou freely, he wouldn't mind a few more.The key is that Ye Yuanzhou took advantage of his status, so he can approach Ye Qinglan openly.More importantly, the relationship between him and Ye Qinglan hasn't been clarified yet, so it's inconvenient to protect her...

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "The carriage is ready, and the 'servant' given to you is Ruomei."

Ye Qinglan understood in her heart that this person named Ruomei was the female secret guard that Gu Xinian gave her.I couldn't help but feel curious in my heart.Those who can be secret guards should have two brushes.I don't know what strengths this Ruomei has, is it martial arts for self-defense or something else?

Gu Xinian saw the doubts in her heart, but he didn't explain much, he just smiled lightly and said: "If you have any doubts, just ask her. She will never dare to hide a word from you."

Ye Qinglan hummed, and then sighed jokingly: "Brother Gu's kindness is truly beyond repayment."

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and smiled pointedly: "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities to repay me in the future."

Started to be unreasonable again!Ye Qinglan gave him a blank look.Gu Xinian rolled his eyes, but was still in a good mood.

Arriving at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion, he saw a young woman dressed as a maid standing respectfully beside the carriage from afar.It seems that this is Ruomei.

"This servant has met the young master and the young lady." Ruomei saluted very standardly.

Gu Xinian hummed casually: "From today on, you will serve by Cousin Lan's side."

Obviously, Ruomei already knew about this matter, so she agreed respectfully.

Ye Qinglan looked at Ruomei carefully.This Ruomei is about ten years old, her appearance is not outstanding, only a pair of eyes are particularly bright.From the outside, there's really nothing special about it.However, her hands are larger than ordinary women's, with thin calluses on the palms.

Ruixue and the others followed, seeing that there was an extra maid beside the carriage, they didn't pay attention at first.It was only when he saw that she followed into the carriage that he showed a surprised expression.Unconsciously looking at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Her name is Ruomei, she is a maid given to me by cousin Xiyu. From today on, she will serve me by my side." This was an excuse I had thought up before.

It is not uncommon for a maid who has signed a death contract to be given away.What's more, Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan are like sisters, so it's nothing to send a maid to Ye Qinglan.

Ruixue was the first to react, and introduced herself with a busy smile: "My name is Ruixue, and I am sixteen this year." Since it is a maid sent by Gu Xiyu, she must not wait too long.In the future, she will definitely be a first-class maid, so it's best to establish a good relationship first.

Ruomei smiled and said, "My name is Ruomei, I'm two years older than you, please call you Sister Ruixue."

Only then did Hongluan and the others come to their senses, and they were busy making friends with Ruomei.

Ye Qinglan secretly pays attention to Ruomei's speech and behavior.Seeing that she responded gracefully and gracefully, he couldn't help but secretly nodded.There are too few people around her, one more is always good.Moreover, since it was given by Gu Xinian, at least there should be no problem in terms of loyalty.Looking at it like this, Ruomei should be a practicing family, so there is no need to be too afraid of Ye Yuanzhou in the future!

If you want to ask Ruomei about her background, you don't have to rush it.There will always be opportunities in the future.

The maids chattered and chattered, which annoyed them along the way.On the contrary, Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan didn't talk much, only occasionally meeting their eyes.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Changyuanbo Mansion.

Ye Qinglan put away all the delicate feelings, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Cousin Gu, for sending me back." After today's farewell, the next time we meet may be how long it will be.

Gu Xinian took a deep look at Ye Qinglan, and then said with a faint smile, "Cousin Lan, you're welcome, but you're just on the way." There are still a lot of things for him to do at the Ministry of Household Affairs, but it took him an extra detour. Send her back in an hour.It's ridiculous when I think about it, but I'm happy with it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
