happy match

Gu Xinian took a deep breath, and then forced a smile: "Yu'er, my mother and I are discussing about going to Ciyun Temple the day after tomorrow. Tell elder brother, do you want to go?"

Gu Xiyu's attention was indeed diverted, she thought for a moment before slowly nodding her head.

Madam Zheng's eyes lit up immediately.She had already decided to take Gu Xiyu to Ciyun Temple. According to Gu Xiyu's temperament, if she was asked, she would probably shake her head and refuse to go.So she made a decision without consulting Gu Xiyu at all.I really didn't expect Gu Xiyu to take the initiative to leave the house...

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng put aside the little unhappiness just now, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's fine if your elder brother doesn't want to go, we, mother and daughter, will go to Ciyun Temple together."

"Who said I won't go?" Gu Xinian's voice sounded faintly.

Mrs. Zheng was surprised, delighted and hesitant: "Xinian, are you really planning to go to Ciyun Temple with us?" She was angry at Gu Xinian's refusal before, but now that Gu Xinian took the initiative to nod, she began to feel distressed again Picked up his son.

Gu Xinian smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Mother, don't worry, since I promised to go, I will never go back on my word."

No matter how it sounds, this tone is a bit wrong.It didn't look like he was going to go out to relax, but it was a bit gloomy.

Mrs. Zheng was secretly worried, but she couldn't say anything more, so she nodded casually: "Alright, then it's settled. It's getting late, you all go back and have a good rest!"

Gu Xinian was the first to stand up, although he tried his best to control it.The body still swayed slightly.The servant Wanfu was very clever, and quietly moved to Gu Xinian's side.Just as he was about to stabilize Gu Xinian's body with his arms, he heard Gu Xinian say in a deep voice, "I don't need your help, I can walk back by myself."

Wanfu stepped back helplessly.

Gu Xiyu rarely saw Gu Xinian like this, and felt distressed and anxious: "Brother, are you okay?"

Gu Xinian looked at Gu Xiyu with very gentle eyes: "Don't worry, I'm not drunk." It's just that I drank a little more than usual.

Gu Xiyu didn't feel relieved, she insisted on going back with Gu Xinian.Fortunately, the two brothers and sisters lived in the same place, so they traveled the same way.Walking together is also a matter of course.

It was already dark at this time.Two servant girls were holding lanterns in the distance, and two others were holding lanterns in the back. Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu followed Gu Xinian out of Jingxin Garden.

Gu Xinian's mood was obviously not calm, and he kept silent.

Gu Xiyu comforted a little clumsily: "Brother, if we meet her, we will ignore her." These words were quite childish.

The light was dim, and Ye Qinglan couldn't see the expression on Gu Xinian's face clearly, only heard him laughing lowly.That laughter was completely different from the calm and coldness of the past, it was actually a bit desolate and desolate.

Ye Qinglan habitually began to speculate on what Gu Xinian was thinking at the moment.The name Shen Qiuyu was mentioned many times tonight, it must have brought back memories of the past hidden in Gu Xinian's heart.I don't know how sweet and bitter these memories are...

Walk to a ginkgo tree.Gu Xinian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Gu Xiyu asked nervously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xinian was silent for a moment.Said: "I want to stay here for a while and then go back."

Gu Xiyu said without thinking, "I'll accompany you."

"No need," Gu Xinian's voice became gentle again: "It's so late, the dew is so humid here, you still want to go back and rest! I'll go back after a while here."

Gu Xiyu was extremely persistent: "I won't go, I want to stay here with my brother."

If it were someone else, Gu Xinian would have turned his back on him long ago.But Gu Xinian has always cherished this younger sister who has been withdrawn since childhood.I can't bear to brush her mind off.Nodding slightly, he walked under the ginkgo tree with his hands behind his back.

His handsome face was obscured by the night.No one could clearly see his expression at the moment.But that slender figure was somehow heavy.

Gu Xiyu hurriedly followed, trying to comfort Gu Xinian with a few words, but she couldn't think of any, so she couldn't help but glanced at Ye Qinglan for help.

She has always been considerate and can speak well, so she will definitely think of something to comfort her elder brother.

Ye Qinglan didn't want to be nosy at first, but Gu Xiyu's big pitiful eyes begged her, and her heart softened immediately.After thinking about it, he also stepped forward, and said to Gu Xiyu in a low voice: "Cousin, can you take a few steps back?"

Gu Xiyu trusted Ye Qinglan almost 100%, she immediately nodded her head in agreement, and walked away a few steps.The maids and servants also wisely stood a little further away.

Under the ginkgo tree, only Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan were left.

Gu Xinian clearly knew that Ye Qinglan was standing behind him, but he didn't turn his head, he still stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes didn't know where to fall.

Ye Qinglan coughed: "Cousin Gu, can I say a few words?"

"Aren't you already talking?" The sarcasm in Gu Xinian's words was clearly visible.She wasn't a friendly personality in the first place, but tonight she was unexpectedly indifferent and difficult.

Ye Qinglan touched a soft nail, but she was not very angry.She was touched by the sad past, and her mood was in turmoil. It would be strange if she had the patience to deal with her.

"If you want to comfort me, you don't need to say it." Gu Xinian said coldly, "I just want to be quiet for a while."

"Cousin Gu misunderstood," Ye Qinglan replied calmly, "I didn't intend to comfort you. I just couldn't bear to see Cousin Xiyu being sad with you, so I coaxed her to stand a little further away."

This unexpected answer made Gu Xinian stunned, and couldn't help but turn around.

The night was hazy, with only a few lanterns emitting a dim yellow and soft light.Ye Qinglan stood under the tree in a lively manner, her delicate face exuded an astonishing beauty under the flickering light.With the cover of the night, she no longer pretended to be docile and obedient, her eyes as bright as autumn water shone with calm and wise light, obviously thinking about something.

She must not know that he has excellent eyesight, even in such a situation, he can see her expression clearly.

Gu Xinian stared fixedly at that unusually beautiful face, and said after a while, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Of course, otherwise, she wouldn't stick her hot face against someone's cold ass!

"Cousin Gu is really amazing! Before I opened my mouth, I knew I had something to ask for." Ye Qinglan flattered a few words in a flattering manner, and quickly got to the point without talking nonsense: "The morning after tomorrow, Sixth Sister will also go. Ciyun Temple. Could Cousin Gu please spare a little time to have a private conversation with Sixth Sister?"

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and didn't mind the sarcasm in his words being clearly heard by Ye Qinglan: "Why should I promise you?"

Ye Qinglan had been prepared for a long time, and responded calmly: "For you, it's just to listen to a girl's heart, and you can dispel her thoughts with a few words. But for that girl, it's about lifelong love." A happy event."

Lifelong happiness?

Gu Xinian didn't know what to think of, and said indifferently: "Jun Yan is her lifelong happiness."

Why did he say that with such certainty?A strange feeling flashed in Ye Qinglan's heart, but she had no time to think about it, and quickly responded: "I think so too. But Sixth Sister has always been unable to let go of Cousin Gu in her heart. She always wants to be with Cousin Gu before getting engaged. Let's meet alone. For Cousin Gu, it doesn't take much effort at all. But it can fulfill Sixth Sister's wish..."

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if someone found out that I met her alone?" Gu Xinian was unmoved at all: "How important a woman's boudoir reputation is, once it spreads, it will affect her reputation." Do you know how much it will hurt?"

At that time, Ye Qingning's boudoir reputation will be gone.There was no other choice but to marry him.And he would never marry Ye Qingning.At that time, what should Ye Qingning do?

Ye Qinglan is so smart, she naturally understood the meaning hidden in Gu Xinian's words.He asked without thinking: "Are you worried about Sixth Sister's reputation, or are you worried that after the private meeting is revealed, you will be forced to marry her?"

Of course there are!Gu Xinian was too lazy to answer such questions, so he responded coldly: "I won't promise you, you don't need to say any more." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and wanted to leave.

Ye Qinglan panicked, and blurted out immediately: "You know the pain of not getting what you want, why don't you grant a girl's wish? Even if you don't have feelings for her, she is your cousin after all, you don't even care about such a small thing. Don't you want to do anything for her? If Sixth Sister married Cousin Zheng like this, she would have regrets in her life. Just like you back then, you watched Shen Qiuyu get married, and there was no chance of redemption... "

Gu Xinian paused, then suddenly turned around and looked over.I drank a lot of wine tonight, and my mood fluctuated violently. The gentle mask finally broke under the cover of night.

His eyes were no longer calm, a flame called anger was burning in his eyes, like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath, shining coldly, his voice was low and cold: "What did you say?"

Ye Qinglan was not frightened by his anger, and calmly replied: "Since you want to hear it, I'll just say it straight. The past has passed, and it's useless even if you can't forget it. It's impossible to repeat everything. .People live in the present and cannot always think about the past, what is more important is the present and the future.”

Everything can't be repeated...

Gu Xinian felt a sharp pain in his heart, sneered, and stared straight into Ye Qinglan's eyes: "Of course you said it lightly, you have never experienced this at all, how can you understand this kind of feeling!"

Being looked at by those slightly contemptuous and cold eyes, Ye Qinglan's calm and self-possession finally disappeared, and she responded tit for tat: "You are not me, how do you know that I don't understand this feeling?"
