Ye Qinglan was in a good mood and didn't mind Gu Xinian's indifference at all. She said with a smile: "As long as cousin Gu is willing to agree. I will arrange the rest."
Gu Xinian tightened his lips and resisted the urge to snort and walk away.
This feeling of being at a disadvantage and being manipulated by others is really terrible!
Ye Qinglan could naturally see that Fourth Young Master Gu was in a very bad mood at the moment, and would never be stupid enough to stroke the tiger's beard. She wisely changed the subject: "By the way, will Concubine Shen really go there tomorrow?"
Gu Xinian's eyes turned cold and he glared over.
…
Well, this topic was really not chosen very well! Ye Qinglan coughed and continued to change the topic: "Why hasn't cousin Xiyu come over yet? I was planning to go to the garden with her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiyu's footsteps sounded outside the door.
Great, it came at the right time! If she continues to have a stalemate with Gu Xinian like this, her little heart won't be able to bear it anymore.
Ye Qinglan stood up and opened the door with a smile. Gu Xiyu, who was neatly tidied, stood at the door. She glanced at Ye Qinglan first, then looked at Gu Xinian, who looked unhappy, and asked: "Brother, you didn't bully Cousin Lan, did you? "
Ye Qinglan almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gu Xinian had a dark look on his face. The little girl stood beside Gu Xiyu with a smile, her eyes and brows filled with pride and joy. How could she look like she was being bullied?
He really wanted to suppress her with words and momentum, but unfortunately, in this "competition", the person who had the upper hand was not him at all.
When Gu Xiyu saw Gu Xinian's sullen face and remained silent, she naturally thought that she was right. She suddenly straightened her face and said, "Brother is so bad!" How could a man bully a girl?
Gu Xinian glanced at Gu Xiyu dumbfounded, and saw that Gu Xiyu had an unhappy look on her face, pouting and refusing to pay attention to him. This was really something new that had never happened before in his life. His sister, who had always relied on and trusted him, actually did it for him. A mere outsider was angry with him. What the hell did that girl Ye Qinglan pour into Yu'er?
"Yu'er," Gu Xinian opened his mouth to explain helplessly: "I just had a few casual chats with cousin Lan. I didn't bully her. If you don't believe me, just ask her."
Ye Qinglan nodded cooperatively: "Cousin Xiyu, don't worry, cousin Gu definitely didn't bully me." After a pause, he happily added: "It's just that you always have a sullen face when talking to me."
…
Gu Xiyu glared at Gu Xinian angrily, and then pulled Ye Qinglan out: "Annoying brother, let's ignore him."
Ye Qinglan quickly glanced back. She happened to meet Gu Xinian's eyes, which contained annoyance and displeasure.
Ye Qinglan's mood instantly rose to the top, and she turned her head away with an innocent look. Today, she finally got back a small win, so happy!
Next, I have to think carefully about what will happen tomorrow...
In the early morning of the next day, both Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu got up early. Gu Xiyu was dressed in a light pink dress, charming and charming. Ye Qinglan was dressed in a light green dress, elegant and soft. The two stood side by side, like two flowers. It's like a budding flower that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Gu Xiyu was obviously looking forward to today's trip to Ciyun Temple, but when she thought of coming into contact with the crowd, she felt very uneasy. She unconsciously twisted the handkerchief into a twist.
Ye Qinglan encouraged with a smile: "Don't be afraid, just like last time at the British Government House. As long as you stand up and walk out, you will find that everyone actually likes you. I will always be by your side."
Gu Xiyu took a deep breath and nodded.
Seeing Gu Xiyu's brave appearance, Ye Qinglan felt extremely happy. The scene of meeting Gu Xiyu for the first time was still vivid in her mind. The autistic and timid girl was finally slowly stepping out of her own world.
Gu Hong had already gone to court. Mrs. Zheng had already packed up, looked at Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan with a smile, and praised with a smile: "Look at you two, you are as beautiful as two flowers. Compared with this, I
He’s really old.”
Ye Qinglan smiled and continued: "My aunt is in her prime, so she doesn't look old."
This is not entirely a compliment. At this time, women were getting married and having children at an early age. Although Mrs. Zheng had a son as old as Gu Xinian, he was only about forty years old at most. She was pampered and well-maintained. Although there were a few crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, she still had charm.
.A standard glamorous lady.
In comparison, although the eldest aunt Zheng is also decent and upright, she is a little less charming than her elder sister Mrs. Zheng. I heard that Mrs. Zheng also has a younger sister who entered the palace and became a noble concubine. She must also be a beauty.
Mrs. Zheng was used to hearing flattering words, and smiled slightly when she heard this. Ye Qinglan had been a guest in the house for several days, and she had been secretly paying attention to this girl's every move. But she didn't find out whether she was here or not.
She knows how to advance and retreat, never talks too much when she shouldn't talk, and doesn't talk too much when she can. She speaks and behaves in an elegant manner, without any pettiness. If her background is put aside, Ye Qinglan is definitely the smartest and smartest person she has ever seen in her life.
girl.
It's a pity that I have a lower background...
A series of thoughts flashed through Mrs. Zheng's mind, but she didn't show any of them on her face. She only casually chatted with the two of them for a few words. When Gu Xinian arrived, she said with a smile: "It's getting late, we should
Went to Shunyitang."
Gu Xinian responded casually. He did not tidy up deliberately. He only wore a plain brocade robe with excellent quality and a jade belt around his waist. His eyebrows were clear and his face was handsome. He just stood there casually, as if he was shining brightly.
The body is ordinary and attracts everyone's attention.
Although Ye Qinglan didn't like him very much, it didn't hinder her appreciation of the handsome man.
Ye Qingning had very little contact with Gu Xinian, and probably didn't even talk face to face a few times. His heart was firmly fixed on Gu Xinian. He must have been attracted by Gu Xinian's outstanding appearance and temperament.
In fact, this kind of relationship cannot be called love at all.
In a girl's fantasy, her sweetheart is naturally perfect. Unfortunately, Gu Xinian is not at all the gentle, approachable and infatuated man that Ye Qingning imagined. This man is basically a dark, deep and powerful character.
.Not suitable for Ye Qingning at all.
Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity to settle Ye Qingning's worries as soon as possible! Once this matter is over, Ye Qingning can wait to marry Zheng Junyan with peace of mind.
Thinking of Zheng Junyan, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but think of another very important thing.
Zheng Junyan has always liked Gu Xiyu, but I wonder what Gu Xiyu thinks of Zheng Junyan... If Gu Xiyu also likes Zheng Junyan, what will we do then? The triangle problem is the most troublesome...
Ye Qinglan was thinking randomly and had arrived at Shunyi Hall unknowingly.
Ms. Sun was sitting in the main hall, and Gu Yongnian, who was dressed in bright clothes, said something with a smile, which made Ms. Sun laugh.
After Mrs. Zheng and her party came in, Gu Yongnian smiled and said hello, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglan one more time.
Before Ye Qinglan said anything, Gu Xiyu opened her mouth unhappily: "Cousin, you bullied Cousin Lan yesterday, what are you going to do today?"
…
Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, all looking at Gu Yongnian, and then at Ye Qinglan. Although Gu Yongnian was thick-skinned, he couldn't bear the strange looks from everyone, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, cousin, I'm just
I just want to say hello to cousin Lan."
Gu Xiyu snorted lightly and ignored him.
Ye Qinglan felt angry, funny and a little touched at the same time. Gu Xiyu was indeed still a child, and she didn't understand what kind of trouble that sentence just now would bring to her... Forget it, no matter what, Gu Xiyu did it because she wanted to
I only said this to protect her.
Ye Qinglan lowered her eyelids, appropriately expressing the helplessness and grievance of a girl who was molested.
Mrs. Zheng heard about this for the first time. She couldn't help but frowned and said in a deep voice: "Yongnian, is what Yu'er said true? Did you really bully Sister Lan yesterday?"
Gu Yongnian quickly defended: "Nothing, my cousin misunderstood. I went to Lengyue Pavilion yesterday just to invite cousin Lan to wander around the garden as she pleased. I had no other intentions."
Mrs. Zheng was unhappy, but she couldn't say anything in front of Mr. Sun.
Mrs. Sun was well aware of Gu Yongnian's promiscuous nature, but she didn't tell him in front of everyone, and scolded him lightly: "Men and women are not close to each other, how can you be so arrogant? Never do this again in the future.
, did you hear that?”
Gu Yongnian seemed to respond honestly.
Ye Qinglan watched the pretentious acting of her grandfather and grandson with cold eyes, and sneered in her heart.
Although Gu Yongnian is hateful and irritating, the Sun family who covers up her grandson's evil deeds without asking any questions is even more hateful. In the final analysis, she just thinks that she is an insignificant concubine who has no one to support her even if she is wronged. That's why she is so contemptuous. If
If Ye Qingning is here today, and Zheng is here to protect his shortcomings, will Sun still handle this matter so lightly?
Mrs. Zheng obviously did not agree with Sun's behavior, but she only frowned slightly and did not say anything. After all, Sun was the mother-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, she could not embarrass Sun in front of everyone.
Forget it, I will reprimand Gu Yongnian behind his back from now on, so that I can vent my anger for Sister Lan.
A mother in charge came in and reported in a low voice: "Old madam, the sedan chair is ready."
Mrs. Sun hummed, stood up and walked out, followed closely by everyone.
Ye Qinglan naturally walked with Gu Xiyu and whispered: "Cousin Xiyu, thank you for speaking out for me just now."
Gu Xiyu had no idea of the trouble her actions caused to Ye Qinglan, and smiled sweetly when she heard this.
Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng each sat in a four-person sedan, while Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu shared a sedan. The maids, wives, servants, and accompanying servants stood on both sides of the sedan.
Could it be that Gu Xinian was also riding in the sedan chair?
Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, quietly raised the sedan curtain and looked out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
