Chapter 628 A Heartthrob Is Provoking Envy

Gu Yun really made up his mind to ignore Tong Mingli, and accepted Bai Kou's suggestion to go to the stables for daily visits. The reason is that it is convenient to ride a horse, and the family will follow him. With such a big boy, he doesn't need to be like a child anymore. pins.

But Gu Yun's slight changes are only known to the eldest room, and the second room is not in charge, so the news is naturally not well-informed. Tong Mingli thought that Gu Yun went to and from school with a regular schedule every day, so she went out for a walk in the evening, hoping to have a chance encounter with Gu Yun .

Tong Mingli has no news, but Bai Kou is well-informed. As long as Miss Tong steps out of the second-bedroom compound, she knows every move. She doesn't need to inquire deliberately, and she doesn't need to arrange eyeliner. All kinds of gossip came into her ears actively.

Ever since he discovered that Tong Mingli would only come out to guard Gu Yun at a fixed time in the afternoon every day, Gu Yun steadfastly only went in and out of the stables, and when he was free, he would either stay at home or go to Xile Fang with Bai Kou to supervise his subordinates. The man abides by the rules and regulations of the factory. He has a lot of things to do every day, so he has no time to have a long love with Tong Mingli.

She was already busy, and because she intentionally avoided it, Tong Mingli never saw Gu Yun once. Even when the Prince of Mencheng and his wife invited friends to have a gathering at home, she never caught up with Gu Yun once in and out.

Tong Mingli had never told her aunt about these daughters' thoughts, and even Gu Chan, who was with her day and night, didn't notice it. After all, the sister-in-law Xu at home was about to give birth, and the whole family focused on the pregnant woman. Getting along with her in-laws was tiring enough, so it was natural for Tong Mingli. Some negligence, she didn't cause any trouble to her aunt's family, when she was bored, she went across the street to find Ning Peilan, and Ning Peilan happened to have a companion to talk with, so she was very welcome to go.

Tong Mingli also thought that Ning Peilan was an innocent girl before marriage, and would tell her privately whenever she wanted, and even asked Ning Peilan to help her think of an idea so that she could have more contact with Gu Yun.

"Lan Lan, you said I've been here for so many days, and I haven't even seen Gu Yun's face, is he that busy?"

"He has to study and do business. There are only twelve hours a day. It's no wonder he's not busy except for eating and sleeping."

"Isn't Bai Kou in charge of the business?"

"You're so confused, Gu Yun is the boss, and Bai Kou is at best a big shopkeeper. No matter how capable the shopkeeper is, he has to work within the frame drawn by the boss. If Bai Kou can really make decisions on her own, she is The owner is gone."

"Don't worry, I don't know how to do business, I'm not as proficient as you, so please speak carefully."

"Didn't I tell you this carefully? You can tell how busy Gu Yun is by looking at Bai Kou. You can't see Gu Yun in the mansion, but Bai Kou can always see it, right?"

"I haven't seen Bai Kou a few times. She has a lot of things to do in the mansion. I heard that sometimes she has to help the eldest lady."

"Mrs. Gu's own capable men are already very old, and Bai Kou happens to be young and capable, who else can I use without her. However, you have lived in Gu's residence for so many days, and this is all you have seen?"

"Otherwise? What else?"

"Ye Guogong's mansion is a first-class family, and Gu Yun is the eldest son and the future patriarch. Your family has a simple population, that is, you have to worry about receiving and sending things during the holidays. How much housework can the real family have? Bai Kou It's different, what she does every day is the housework that Gu Yun's young lady will do every day, and the young lady will do more than Bai Kou, because the young lady will take over the whole family, Bai Kou only needs to It is enough to take good care of Zhongmingyuan. You ask yourself, can you handle it?"

Tong Mingli shook her head with an ugly expression, "I can't handle it."

"So, you can know Gu Yun by looking at Bai Kou. This Gu Shizi is not the kind of dude who only knows how to carry cages and birds when he is full all day long. Don't complain that he is too busy to see anyone. Long hair is really worrying, but if he is that kind of person, it won't be worth the girls in the whole capital to be obsessed with him."

"I didn't expect him to stay at home every day. I just wanted to find opportunities to get close to him, but the only time he can really be at home is at night. How can I go to him at night when I'm a girl."

"Then there is really no other way, since the legs are on Gu Yun's body, who can stop him from letting him go?"

"You are close to Bai Kou, can you ask her for a day when Gu Yun will go to the factory, so I can meet him there?"

"How much do you like Gu Yun? You want to go to Xilefang?! It's a mess, there are many construction sites that are under construction, and the dust is heavy, can you take it with your body?"

"How do you know there's chaos there? Have you been there?"

"I've never been there. Bai Kou said that the businessmen saw that Xilefang was making money, so they rushed there. It turned out that it was a lower workshop, but the land price was approaching Zhongfang. Now the court is waiting to collect taxes at the end of the year."

"This is Gu Yun's ability." Tong Mingli smiled happily, with a shy expression on her face.

Ning Peilan saw it in her eyes, and regretted repeatedly in her heart, the two were really not suitable, Gu Yun still wanted to marry a wife who could manage the house, at least he couldn't be exhausted to death after he got married.

"How about this? It's hard to meet Gu Yun by chance. You go talk to Bai Kou and ask her to find a chance to arrange for the two of you to meet. How about it?"

"I'm going to tell Bai Kou?! How embarrassing!"

"Hey, what on earth do you want? Is it enough to like you so quietly and secretly? If that's the case, what did you come here to tell me?"

"I, I don't know what to do, I just... I just..."

"Oh, you're so stupid. You're obviously good at cooking. Why don't you hold a platter banquet? Let everyone see that you're all right, you've come out, and you can discuss marriage again." Ning Peilan She smiled slightly, as if she had been waiting for Tong Mingli's words for a long time.

Tong Mingli's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, platter feast, thank you Lan Lan, I'll go back and tell my aunt that you will come when the date is fixed."

"If it's inconvenient for your aunt, you can come to me to get it. My place is quiet and the kitchen is ready-made, so I don't need to rob other people's big kitchen in the Duke Ye's mansion."

"Okay, thank you Lan Lan, I'll go back and discuss it."

Tong Mingli was full of energy, and immediately went back to the mansion to find her aunt. As soon as Mrs. Gu heard that Princess Cheng was willing to provide a venue, she asked her niece and daughter to hold a platter banquet there without saying a word. A group of young ladies were cooking in the mansion, and only the east kitchen was available. , that would affect a lot of people.

After hearing what her aunt said, Tong Mingli also felt that it was better not to cause Mrs. Gu any more trouble, so she went to discuss with Ning Peilan again and set a date to send out the invitation.

When friends saw that Tong Mingli was going to hold a platter banquet, they all thought she had really come out of the mental shock, so they came here one after another. In Duke Ye's mansion, Gu Yun and his brothers and sisters also joined in the show.

Gong Changji arranged a guest house for everyone to play. It was a place specially arranged by him to entertain friends for small gatherings and overnight stays. The platter banquet can also be used for mixed gatherings of men and women. The platter banquet is full of people. Yun even called the brothers and sisters Shi Tianmin, but also came with their uncle's cousin, sister Gong Lingyun.

As the host of the banquet, Tong Mingli naturally had to greet the guests. She keenly discovered Shi Tianqi and her cousins' intentions towards Gu Yun. There was no intention to hide their naked eyes and behavior, and Gu Yun had something to say to them. have a laugh.

This sudden discovery made Tong Mingli almost lose her composure on the spot. After finally calming down, she wandered around Gu Yun with all kinds of food in different ways. After walking a few times, the three sisters Shi Tianqi noticed that Tong Mingli was a bit too With an enthusiastic attitude, the sisters looked at each other a few times, and they all understood.

Shi Tianqi watched the expressions of the two cousins ​​with cold eyes, feeling bittersweet and bitter in her heart. The difference between her and Gu Yun was not in her family background, but in her seniority. Cousins, I didn't expect how many days have passed, and yet another rival in love has surfaced.

This Gu Yun is really a heartthrob, many times better than that Liang Zhongshan, such a man is a good man worth entrusting for life.

Tong Mingli went back and forth several times, and even Shi Tianqi and the sisters remembered every piece of jewelry on their bodies. The pendants on their ear beads were all exquisite. The craftsmanship of royal craftsmen perfectly reflected the identity and background of the clan girls. Tong Mingli She's just a daughter of a small Hanlin, nobleness is nobleness, but when standing with these serious noble girls, people's eyes are naturally on others.

Under the impact of such reality, Tong Mingli sadly realized that the family background of the clan girl matched Gu Yun.

Sister Gong Lingyun felt that Tong Mingli standing here was too an eyesore, and she had to retreat in the face of difficulties. A mere daughter of a small Hanlin family was worthy of competing with them for Gu Yun?Don't even think about the sisters' clothes, she only makes half a year's monthly routine.

The two sisters tacitly stood next to Gu Yun, sandwiched Gu Yun between them, and leaned against him affectionately, keeping only half an arm's distance apart. They were stunned by the behavior, and their personal girl didn't know whether to come over and pull them away or pretend to be invisible.

Seeing this scene, Ning Peilan and Gong Changji also silently turned their heads away and greeted the guests around them, regardless of Gu Yun's affairs.

Gu Yun is not stupid, he felt unspeakably embarrassing when he found that he seemed to be in some kind of predicament, and he hoped that Bai Kou would come out to save the situation, but she was working for the eldest lady in the mansion, and he didn't know when she would be free.

In the end, it was Ning Peilan who rescued Gu Yun. She called Tong Mingli away first, and then invited the girls to the kitchen to cook. The palace chief stayed alone in the guest courtyard to greet the male guests. At this time, everyone surrounded Gu Yun. Joking about his good luck.

"Okay, you, Mingzhi, how does it feel to be surrounded by girls?" Shi Tianmin laughed and raised his hand to pat Gu Yun's shoulder.

"Okay, don't make fun of me. If you are envious, you can try it yourself later. You don't know where to put your hands, for fear that you will bump into someone if you make a small move." Gu Yun looked aggrieved.

"Hey, brothers, take a look, here is a good-looking guy who got cheap, we have so many living people sitting, why don't we see girls talking around us?"

The teenagers laughed loudly, Gu Yun's brothers didn't give him any face, they laughed very loudly.

When the banquet started, the girls' handicrafts were presented on the table one by one, and everyone ate happily. After all, the girls who dared to participate in the platter banquet were fully confident in their cooking skills.

This time, Gu Yun was still the focus of the girls, and apart from his own sisters, the other girls surrounded him, scrambling to introduce their own dishes to him. Talking, pretending not to care about what the girls are doing, but in fact they are full of envy and jealousy in their hearts, and they have agreed to put a sack on Gu Yun and beat him up one day.

Just at this time, Bai Kou came to visit after lunch, and the servants of the palace led her into the courtyard. She quietly looked around and saw that her young master was surrounded by the girls, and she laughed secretly. With a grimace, he slipped to Ning Peilan's side and brought her a toothpick beef made at noon.

Ning Peilan gave Bai Kou a wine glass, and shared half of the beef with her husband, and then the two of them drank and ate meat together, watching Gu Yun's jokes.

After the beef was divided, everyone finally found Bai Kou coming, and the young ladies who surrounded Gu Yun seemed to have realized that there were outsiders at the scene, and immediately returned to their seats shyly, bowed their heads to eat, and kept silent.

Bai Kou looked innocent and bewildered, she didn't seem to understand why she came, and the daughters who surrounded her young master dispersed, her expression made many people chuckle.

Across the aisle between the men and women's tables, Gu Yun glared at Bai Kou. At this moment, he felt that something was wrong, as if Bai Kou had swayed him again.

Today's platter banquet is destined to become a topic of conversation in the circle. After everyone shared the toothpick beef brought by Bai Kou, the banquet finally ended.

Gu Yun was not in a hurry to leave, anyway, the two families are now neighbors, so it doesn't matter if he stays here until dark, the two of them will sit in the four-cornered pavilion in the courtyard, and Bai Kou will serve them to drink tea To relieve Sa, Ning Peilan directed the maids to clean up the whole yard bit by bit.

Tong Mingli is the convener of this platter feast, so she stayed at the end to help clean up. After a busy lap, she suddenly found that Gu Yun was still sitting in this courtyard, her heart suddenly slammed like a deer, and her face flushed. Xia, watching Gu Yun couldn't move his eyes and couldn't move.

Gong Changji couldn't hold back anymore, he picked up the teacup and hid his face behind his back, laughing non-stop, his hands were shaking so much that the tea spilled out, and Bai Kou had to clean it up.

"My lord, don't be so stern. Ms. Tong is our second wife's nephew after all. Smile at her." Bai Kou reminded while lowering her head to wipe the water stains on the table with a tea towel.

"That's right, that's right, Tong Mingli doesn't owe you a million pennies, just laugh, laugh." Gong Zhangji immediately booed.

"The face is cramped, and I can't laugh." Gu Yun had a straight face, but he had a teacup in his hand, and his expression seemed to be soft, not so murderous.

"Just smile and leave a good memory for others. When I think of you in the future, I won't feel resentful. I can only blame my unworthy family background." Bai Kou wiped off the water on the table, folded the tea towel, and always had a smile on his face.

"What if I smiled and she thought I was interested in her because she was affectionate?"

"How do you know Miss Tong's reaction if you don't smile? Just smile."

"That's right, that's right, what Bai Kou said makes sense." Gong Changji nodded in support.

"Makes sense, bastard!"

Gu Yun used the cover of the teacup to roll his eyes at Gong Changji and Bai Kou, then turned his head, as if he saw Tong Mingli standing in the courtyard, raised the teacup in his hand, and gave her a warm, spring breeze. smile.
