happy match

Mrs. Zheng spoke in great detail, and there were a few women in charge who came to report the matter, so she dealt with it in front of Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan.Originally, she hoped that Gu Xiyu would learn something, but after she finished speaking, she turned her head and smiled bitterly.

Although Gu Xiyu didn't say anything, her eyes were full of impatience, and she knew she didn't listen to a few words.Ye Qinglan seemed to have realized something, and the intelligent and confident smile in her eyes made people feel very comfortable.

Mrs. Zheng smiled tentatively: "Sister Lan, did you understand everything just now?" Gu Xiyu didn't need to ask, she definitely didn't understand anything.

Ye Qinglan is very humble and low-key: "I only understand a little bit. If my aunt doesn't dislike it, I will have the audacity to come and learn with my cousin Xiyu in the future." It is rare to have such a good opportunity to learn the skills of a housekeeper, of course I can't let it go.With the human nature of my aunt Xue, it is strange that she is willing to teach her these things.

Mrs. Zheng admired her intelligence and low-key, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

For the next few days, Ye Qinglan followed Gu Xiyu by Mrs. Zheng's side.Although Mrs. Zheng didn't deliberately teach anything, she secretly learned a lot from watching Mrs. Zheng take care of the household chores every day.

More than half of Gu Xiyu's heart disease has gone, and with Ye Qinglan's deliberate counseling and relief, her temperament is obviously much brighter.Not only Gu Hong noticed, but Sun and the others also noticed Gu Xiyu's change.All are secretly happy.

Ye Qinglan's status as a close friend also quietly improved a lot.Everyone in the Lengyue Pavilion of Jingxin Garden saw her and called her Miss Biao respectfully. Everything was fine, which made Ye Qinglan sigh inwardly.In the past few days, I have been a guest at Dingguo Mansion.It's even better than living in Changyuanbo Mansion.

The only fly in the ointment was that he never found a chance to talk to Gu Xinian alone.

She was always thinking about the things Ye Qingning entrusted to her, but she couldn't find a chance to open her mouth. She was secretly anxious, but she didn't show it on her face.

Through these few days of careful observation, she realized how leisurely Gu Xinian's life was.At most, he shows up at lunch and dinner every day, and basically disappears at other times.It is said that it is either reciting poems and painting with a group of like-minded scholars, or drinking with a group of nobles and brothers.

If you don't take the initiative to look for opportunities, let alone live in Duke Ding's mansion for a month.Even if he lived for a year, he would not have the chance to talk to Gu Xinian alone.

But this opportunity is really too hard to find.At this time, the defense between men and women is extremely serious. Let alone meeting and talking in private, even looking at them a few times is considered frivolous and rude.It is really not easy to avoid Mrs. Zheng, Gu Xiyu and other maids.

Just when Ye Qinglan was secretly anxious, the opportunity came soon.

Sun's heart of Buddhism is pious.Every May, we have to fast for half a month.Then go to Ciyun Temple to offer incense.In two days' time, it will happen to be the fifteenth day of May. According to the practice in previous years, Mrs. Sun will lead the female family members of the mansion to Ciyun Temple on the fifteenth day.

Mrs. Zheng first sent Mama Huang to Ciyun Temple to make some arrangements, while the mansion was busy preparing for the trip.

Gu Hong and his son were busy with court affairs and had no time to go with them.Mrs. Zheng planned to take Gu Xinian's siblings and Gu Yongnian, the second roommate, along with her.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help being a little embarrassed in it, if she really talked about it.She, the so-called Miss Cousin, has nothing to do with Dingguo's mansion at all, so she followed suit with such a big appearance.It's really embarrassing.But if she didn't go with her, it would be too boring for her to stay in the mansion alone.

Besides, she has traveled here for a while, but going back and forth is just going around in the courtyard, at most it is from this mansion to that mansion.I have never really seen what it looks like outside, how can I miss such a rare opportunity?

Mrs. Zheng seemed to see Ye Qinglan's concerns, and she smiled understandingly: "Xiyu is not used to sitting in soft sedan chairs. You should sit with her."

Ye Qinglan responded with a smile, but her heart began to ponder.Every trip is by horse-drawn carriage.Why are you sitting in a soft sedan chair again this time?This Ciyun Temple sounds magnificent, it must be a very famous temple...

Just as he was thinking, Gu Xilai is here.

Today's Gu Xinian seems to be slightly different from the past.When walking, the gait is fairly steady, but the pupils are extremely bright.

He drank!

Ye Qinglan definitely thought, and must have drunk a lot.Not drunk yet, but not far behind.Generally speaking, men who have drunk will talk more than usual.I don't know if Gu Xinian is this kind of man.

Thinking of Gu Xinian's chattering appearance, Ye Qinglan was secretly amused.

Gu Xinian looked over without any coincidence, just in time to catch the narrow smile in her eyes, and immediately narrowed her eyes slightly.

Ye Qinglan hurriedly sat upright and looked away.

Mrs. Zheng first greeted her with a smile, but when she smelled the heavy alcohol smell on Gu Xinian's body, she frowned immediately: "How much wine have you drunk?"

Gu Xinian responded casually: "Don't worry, I didn't drink much."

"I didn't drink much, how could there be such a heavy alcohol smell." Mrs. Zheng scolded angrily, and ordered someone to make sober soup.

Gu Xiyu also frowned delicately, and whispered, "Brother, you smell so bad."

Gu Xinian smiled casually, and sat down casually.This time, he finally didn't sit opposite Ye Qinglan, but he sat next to Ye Qinglan.

……

Ye Qinglan looked at her nose, nose, and heart, and sat there upright, like a very quiet and dignified daughter of a famous family.

Gu Xinian glanced at her, and the corners of his lips curled up slowly.There is no doubt that there must be a hint of teasing in this smile.

Ye Qinglan really wanted to grab him by the collar and yell: Dude, did this girl provoke you or provoke you? You just don't want to see her everywhere, and you always look at me with this kind of mocking eyes that know everything!What on earth are you thinking!

Madam Zheng's voice came to mind at the right time, interrupting Ye Qinglan's wild thoughts: "Xinian, the day after tomorrow is May [-]th, your grandmother is going to burn incense in the Ciyun Temple to pay off her vows, you should go with me when the time comes!"

Gu Xinian unexpectedly refused: "I won't go!"

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but look sideways.What's the matter?It was just to accompany her to burn incense, why did Gu Xinian refuse so resolutely?

What's even more strange, Madam Zheng was not angry at his reaction at all, instead she patiently comforted him: "We'll go in the morning and come back in the afternoon. Excluding the time spent on the road, it's only half a day. Your grandfather and your father didn't bother Go with me, I can't even go with you..." There are always many inconveniences for a group of female relatives to go out, and it is much safer to have a man take care of them.

"Isn't there still Yongnian?" Gu Xinian said flatly, "Just let Yongnian go with you."

Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes at him reproachfully: "It's not that you don't know Yongnian's temperament, it's not bad if you don't cause trouble. What can you expect from him?"

"Needless to say, I don't want to go." After all, Gu Xinian drank a lot of alcohol and was far less self-controlled than usual, showing a bit of impatience on his face.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glanced at him.

Mrs. Zheng usually followed his wishes, but she was a little annoyed by his repeated rejection tonight, and her face sank: "How long are you going to make trouble! Even if Shen Qiuyu will go that day, the two of you may not We will meet."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xinian's expression suddenly changed.

Ye Qinglan has been paying attention to the changes in his expression, and naturally she couldn't miss it at this time, she quietly raised her eyes and looked over.Gu Xinian has always been extremely self-controlled, obviously showing his emotions sometimes.But at this moment, there was no smile on his handsome face, and an inexplicable chill flashed in his eyes.

The name Shen Qiuyu was indeed the biggest thorn in Gu Xinian's heart, and he couldn't even touch it!

Mrs. Zheng was usually full of sulking, but she never mentioned this name lightly out of consideration for his mood.But now, he was so angry that he didn't care about so much anymore, and said with a cold face: "She has been married to the prince for four full years, when will you still be thinking about her? Are you going to hide and never see her for the rest of your life?" she?"

Gu Xinian clenched his right hand into a fist, but the coldness in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Ye Qinglan is best at observing a person's subtle facial expressions, and then guessing the other person's psychological state.But seeing Gu Xinian's reaction, she was also a little confused.

This doesn't look like the expression when mentioning the unforgettable lover, but it seems that there is a great hatred with the other party...

Mrs. Zheng regretted her words as soon as she uttered them, and she was even more annoyed when she saw Gu Xinian's such a violent reaction.Well done, mention what Shen Qiuyu is doing.

After Shen Qiuyu got married four years ago, Gu Xinian was depressed, fell ill, and was bedridden for over a month.Later, my body recovered, but my whole person changed a lot.Outsiders still looked at the charming and personable Young Master Gu, but only the closest family members knew that Gu Xinian's thoughts had become extremely deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.Even the usual smile on his face always seemed casual.

In the past four years, Gu Xinian deliberately avoided all occasions where he would meet Shen Qiuyu.Mrs. Zheng knew this well, and felt distressed and helpless.Therefore, he has been careful not to mention this name, and not to touch the wound in Gu Xinian's heart.

But in a fit of anger just now, Shen Qiuyu was mentioned again...

Gu Xiyu was frightened by the confrontation between Gu Xinian and Mrs. Zheng, she flinched slightly, panic and fear appeared in her eyes, and she quietly grabbed Ye Qinglan's sleeve with her fingers.

Ye Qinglan looked very distressed, gently took Gu Xiyu's hand, and whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, Auntie and Cousin Gu are talking and joking, they are not arguing."

"Really?" Gu Xiyu bit her lip, with a soft helplessness in her eyes.

Although the voices of the two were extremely small, they broke the originally condensed atmosphere.

Mrs. Zheng blamed herself secretly, and coaxed with a quick smile: "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, Xinian and I are doing well, we haven't quarreled." She winked at Gu Xinian as she spoke. (To be continued.
