happy match

After Mrs. Zheng left, Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Gu Xiyu with a smile, "Where are we going to paint?" The garden of Duke Dingguo's mansion is very large, and there are many places suitable for painting.

Gu Xiyu thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Shall we go to the pool?"

Ye Qinglan was rarely taken aback.If you heard me right, the pond Gu Xiyu mentioned was the pond where she fell into it!Because of falling into the water that time, Gu Xiyu lost her confidence and smile, and has been very afraid of water ever since.

"After I went to Baima Lake last time, I'm not afraid of water anymore." Gu Xiyu smiled shyly, "I've been to the pond a few times in secret!"

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but burst out laughing, feeling relieved.She led Gu Xiyu out of the lonely and introverted world step by step. This sense of accomplishment is really unparalleled.

It's a pity that the profession of a psychologist is really not suitable for shining in ancient times.Hypnotism must never let anyone know.So far, she has only used it on Gu Xiyu and Cui Wan.Only those who absolutely trust her will not reveal her secrets.

Gu Xiyu was in high spirits, and dragged Ye Qinglan to the garden.Mo Xiang and the other maidservants were busy preparing the painting table and pen and ink.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright, and it was also somewhat uncomfortably hot on the body.Fortunately, many trees were planted on both sides of the path, casting patches of shade.When the breeze blows, the leaves sway gently, and the sunlight shines on the path through the gaps in the leaves, which is mottled and indeterminate, but it is a bit more interesting.

The pool that Gu Xiyu was talking about was a pond that was built when Dingguo's mansion was opened.In the northwest corner of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, it covers an area of ​​about several mu square.Because it is the source of running water drawn from outside the mansion, the pond is clear and clean all year round.In summer, the pond is full of green lotus leaves and graceful lotus flowers, which is really a beautiful scenery.

In the year when Gu Xiyu fell into the water, Gu Hong and his wife wanted to order people to level the pond.But he was stopped by Dingguo Gong Gu Chuhe.The reason is that this pond is made of specially drawn running water, and I don't know how much manpower was spent back then.It's a shame it's so flat.Moreover, the location of this pond is related to the feng shui of Duke Dingguo's mansion, so it must not be filled up at will.

Gu Hong and his wife had no choice but to tell Gu Xiyu not to come to the pond at will.actually.Even if they didn't say it, Gu Xiyu would never come again.Over the years, this northwest corner has long been Gu Xiyu's forbidden area.

After returning from the White Horse Lake that time, Gu Xiyu's knots in her heart were completely untied, and she would occasionally take her maids to wander around the pond.It was a little frightening at first, but after a few times.Courage is getting stronger and stronger.

Ye Qinglan stood still by the pond, and couldn't help but praise: "The scenery here is really beautiful."

It was almost early summer at this time, and the lotus in the pond hadn't bloomed yet, only dots of lotus leaves floating quietly on the water.The water surface is as smooth as a mirror, and occasionally there is a breeze blowing, and the water surface will ripple layer by layer.Many tall trees were planted by the pond.Standing in the shade, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of you.What a joy.

Gu Xiyu also felt a little emotional: "This place is really beautiful." But not long ago, this place was the source of her nightmares.Every time she thinks about it, she feels cold all over, wishing she could never get closer.

I really didn't expect that there would be such a day when she stood here peacefully...

"Cousin Xiyu, where did you fall into the water?" Ye Qinglan carefully watched the changes in Gu Xiyu's complexion.

Mention the incident of falling into the water that year.Gu Xiyu's face was a little pale, but.His expression was very calm, and he pointed with his finger: "It's over there."

Ye Qinglan looked over.There is a square bluestone slab there. After years of wind and frost, the edges and corners of the slate are almost worn away, and some moss has grown there.

"I was six years old that year. I squatted on the stone slab by myself secretly, reaching out to pick a lotus." The incident of falling into the water left a deep shadow in Gu Xiyu's heart. Even after so many years, it is still very clear and vivid. Zaimu: "Just when I was about to reach it, there was a sound behind me. I was startled, slipped and fell into the pond."

In fact, the pond is not too deep.Just because Gu Xiyu was a six-year-old child and choked on water, she was unable to struggle at all.At that time, Shen Qiuyu, as long as she stretched out her hand to hold Gu Xiyu, Gu Xiyu would not almost drown.

It's a pity that Shen Qiuyu had a bad intention at a critical moment...

Ye Qinglan quietly squeezed Gu Xiyu's slightly cold hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "This is all in the past, don't think about it anymore. One day, Shen Qiuyu will pay the price for everything she has done."

If it wasn't for Shen Qiuyu, Gu Xinian in his previous life wouldn't have ended up with his family ruined.Gu Xinian must have had a revenge plan in his life when he lived again.In the past, she was just idly watching the fun, but if this situation continues, she will be sucked into this whirlpool sooner or later...

Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan's heart filled with complicated and subtle emotions and sighs.It's not scary that my boyfriend has an ex-girlfriend, but what's scary is that this ex-girlfriend is scheming and vicious, and she still has no more love for him.What's more frightening is that he also refused to let her go.Such grievances and entanglements are probably endless.If she really married Gu Xinian, it would be impossible for her to stay out of it.

From a passerby playing soy sauce, she has become the number one heroine of a bloody romance drama, and she must fight against the number one villain in the future.This complex and tangled mood is really hard to describe in words!

Gu Xiyu knew nothing about Ye Qinglan's subtle and complicated thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't want to pursue what happened back then now. I just hope that my elder brother can let go of Shen Qiuyu, marry a wife and have children. Don't think about her anymore. "

Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment, and then smiled sweetly: "Cousin Xiyu, believe me, this day won't be too long." Her words were full of confidence.

Gu Xiyu didn't think much, just smiled and nodded.

The maids arranged the picture table under a tree, and the leaves swayed in the cool breeze, making it cool and pleasant.

Gu Xiyu sat down in front of the painting table, carefully coloring the color.Ye Qinglan sat aside and asked with a smile, "What are you going to draw today?"

Gu Xiyu thought about it seriously, and then said with a smile: "I want to draw a pond."

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled.Sure enough, Gu Xiyu has completely expelled the shadow from her mind, and today's actions are enough to prove it: "Okay, you draw seriously, and I'll be here with you."

Gu Xiyu's painting speed is not fast, but she is very focused and careful.In the past, it took at least half a day to paint a portrait, and it would take two or three days to add coloring and repairs afterwards.It is also the habit to draw ponds now.Observe carefully for a long time before starting to write.First draw the outline of the pond with a few simple strokes, and then slowly draw the flowers and trees around the pond, as well as the lotus leaves in the pond and so on.

The maids stood not far away in twos and threes chatting in low voices, while Ye Qinglan sat beside Gu Xiyu, the atmosphere was very peaceful.The long afternoon slipped by so slowly.

Gu Xiyu was not used to talking when she was painting, so Ye Qinglan didn't bother her.Occasionally feel tired, just get up and walk around to have a look.

A burst of noisy footsteps suddenly came faintly.Mixed with presumptuous talking and laughing, the original tranquility was suddenly broken.Hearing that familiar unbridled voice, Gu Xiyu frowned, put down the brush, and whispered, "It's the Seventh Cousin who came, what a disappointment."

Ye Qinglan smiled and comforted her and said: "Let's wait and see, maybe he just walked around and went back. If he refuses to go, we'll pack up and go back, and we can draw again tomorrow."

Gu Xiyu nodded obediently.

The clever Mo Xiang rushed forward to greet her, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the seventh young master, I have seen the young master Xie."

The handsome young man in the dark green satin robe was Gu Yongnian, and the young man standing beside him was Xie Peng, the only son of Mr. Xie, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.Xie Peng was wearing an apricot-yellow robe, and his face was cleaner than a woman's.His eyes were flexible, yet somewhat frivolous.People are divided into groups by like clusters, this sentence is not true at all.Gu Yongnian also has a wide range of friends. Basically, all the well-known nobles and dudes in the capital are good friends with him.

……

Seeing Mo Xiang here, Gu Yongnian was quite surprised: "Why are you here?" Without waiting for Mo Xiang to answer, he mockingly said with a smile: "Could it be that my cousin is also by the pond!"

Gu Xiyu's fear of water was known to everyone in Dingguo's mansion.

Hearing Gu Yongnian's mocking tone, Mo Xiang felt very uncomfortable, but forced a smile on his face: "Miss is painting by the pond!"

Gu Yongnian raised his eyebrows and grinned: "Oh? This is quite new. Isn't she the most afraid of water? How dare you come to the pond?"

Mo Xiang accompanied her with a smiling face: "This servant doesn't know, but it's a good thing that Miss has such a taste." She said and glanced at Xie Peng.She specially stepped forward to stop Gu Yongnian, naturally she didn't want outsiders to see her young lady.Although she couldn't figure out which one of the seven young masters' friends... But, who can play with Gu Yongnian, who can be good?

Although Gu Yongnian acted wildly and frivolously, he still knew how to protect his cousin. Hearing this, he shrugged: "Since my cousin is here, let's change places."

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Peng suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Gu, we've already reached the pond. It's a pity to just leave like this. Why don't we go over now and say hello to Miss Gu by the way."

He has not come to Dingguo Mansion once or twice, but it is a pity that he has never seen this Miss Gu.It has long been heard that this Miss Gu is withdrawn by nature and is different from ordinary people, but she is also very beautiful.He had been itching to see him for a long time.Wouldn't it be a pity to miss out on such a good opportunity today.
