Gu Xiyu was concentrating on playing with the wreaths, and for a moment she didn't notice anyone coming.
Ye Qinglan's hearing was very good, so she followed the sound and looked over. It didn't matter at this glance, Ye Qinglan was surprisingly stunned.
The boy leading the way was the concierge, followed closely by a young man. This young man was dressed in blue and brocade robes, his hair tied with a jade crown, his face was delicate, and his expression was shy. He turned out to be Cui Yu, the young man he met by chance in the market yesterday.
!
How did he get here?
Cui Yu followed the young man without squinting. Suddenly his heart moved and he looked up. He was met with a pair of bright eyes.
Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he stopped unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan calmed down and smiled politely as a greeting.
Cui Yu couldn't help but take a step forward. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to call him. He was in a dilemma but couldn't bear to leave like this. He just stood there stupidly.
Seeing his silly look, Ye Qinglan found it inexplicably funny and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Gu Xiyu finally realized that something was wrong, raised her head and looked up, also stunned: "Why is he here?"
Ye Qinglan quickly responded in a low voice: "I'm probably here to see Cousin Gu!" Gu Xinian saved him yesterday, and today he obviously came to thank him and pay back the two taels of silver.
Gu Xiyu thought about it and understood. She glanced at Cui Yu who was stunned, couldn't help but laugh, and said in a low voice: "He neither speaks nor leaves. What is he going to do?"
Ye Qinglan laughed: "I don't know either."
Cui Yu was some distance away. He couldn't hear what the two of them were saying at all, but the low-pitched smiles of the two girls were like orioles, indescribably clear and sweet. He knew that it was extremely rude of him to linger on like this.
But I can't move away...
The boy finally couldn't bear it anymore, coughed and said, "Master Cui, please come this way." You've been standing here for so long, it's time to go!
Cui Yu's face suddenly felt a little hot, he responded in a low voice, glanced at it reluctantly before leaving.
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu couldn't help but smile at each other.
Gu Xiyu asked curiously: "Who is he?"
Ye Qinglan said casually: "His name is Cui Yu, he is my cousin-in-law's younger brother."
Gu Xiyu's eyes suddenly became a little subtle. Ye Qinglan quickly declared: "I have never seen him before, I just heard my cousin and sixth sister mentioned it a few times. After hearing the name yesterday, I realized that he is Cui Yu."
As for the fact that both Mrs. He and Cui Wan fell in love with her... it's better not to talk about it. Although she has no dislike for such a young and shy handsome boy, she really can't have any special affection for her. Although there is one
She may have a loli appearance, but her soul is that of a mature woman. A young boy like Cui Yu is just a half-grown child in her eyes.
Although Ye Qinglan spoke very clearly and her tone was very indifferent, Gu Xiyu was sensitive to a subtle difference. Just when she was about to ask, Ye Qinglan changed the topic with a smile: "The begonias over there are blooming just right, let's go there together.
Would you like to take a look?"
So, Gu Xiyu was successfully diverted, and she followed Ye Qinglan to enjoy the flowers with a smile. The two walked around the garden for a long time, and at noon, they returned to Jingxinyuan with unfinished thoughts.
As soon as they approached the side hall, a burst of voices could be heard. Among them were the voices of Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian, as well as the voice of a slightly unfamiliar young man.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyu. Cui Yu hadn't left yet?!
At this time, it was too late to avoid it. Ye Qinglan sighed secretly, and walked in with Gu Xiyu.
As soon as the two figures appeared, Cui Yu's words suddenly stopped and he looked at Ye Qinglan blankly, forgetting even what he said.
Mrs. Zheng saw it in her eyes and couldn't help laughing.
There are very few young people in the world who are so simple and simple and can't hide their thoughts at all.
Gu Xinian also saw Cui Yu's gaffe in full view. The corners of his lips curled up and he looked at Ye Qinglan leisurely, as if he was watching a good show.
Ye Qinglan calmed down and followed Gu Xiyu in as if nothing had happened, and sat down next to Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Yu'er, Sister Lan, you two haven't met Mr. Cui yet."
Gu Xiyu rarely spoke in front of outsiders. She only nodded and said hello. Ye Qinglan didn't want to say anything, so she also imitated Gu Xiyu's nod and smile.
Cui Yu stood up with a serious look and bowed slightly: "I have met the two Miss Gu." In his eyes, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu were so close, so naturally they were both young ladies in the Gu family.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "Sister Lan is a young lady from Changyuan Bo's Mansion, and she is now a guest at our Duke Dingguo's Mansion."
Uncle Changyuan's Mansion? Cui Yu's expression changed, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes: "It turns out to be Sister Ye. I was rude just now." He changed his tune quickly.
Mrs. Zheng was startled at first, and then she remembered that the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Changyuan House was named Cui, which was a euphemism. Since the handsome young man in front of her was Cui Wan's biological brother, it was reasonable to call Ye Qinglan his sister.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to stand up with a smile: "I've met brother Cui." She was almost sour! The names of brother and sister sounded more disgusting than cousin, and goosebumps all over her body rushed out.
Cui Yu felt very comfortable after hearing this. His face was slightly red and his eyes were much brighter than usual: "Sister Ye, there is no need to be so polite. By the way, I have been to Uncle Changyuan's Mansion in the past. How come I have never seen Sister Ye?"
Ye Qinglan smiled and replied: "I have been working with my father in Tongzhou, and I just returned to the capital two months ago."
In other words, he will be able to see her when he goes to Uncle Changyuan's Mansion in the future?
Cui Yu's heart pounded wildly, and he finally restrained the urge to continue staring at Ye Qinglan.
Mrs. Zheng was so sophisticated that she couldn't see Cui Yu's little thoughts and couldn't help but laugh. A young man of this age is the age when love begins. Ye Qinglan has an excellent appearance and a gentle and pleasant temperament. It's no wonder that
Cui Yu fell in love at first sight.
Gu Xinian had been watching with cold eyes, and then he suddenly said lightly: "If Mr. Cui doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving?"
These words were exactly what Cui Yu wanted. Cui Yu immediately became energetic and responded with a smile.
Next, Ye Qinglan didn't speak, nor did she raise her head to look at Cui Yu. Together with Gu Xiyu, she lowered her head slightly, pretending to be a gentle and quiet lady. But even so, she could still feel Cui Yu's frequent wanderings.
The look in his eyes, and the look in Gu Xinian's eyes leisurely watching the excitement, made his teeth itch with hatred.
Damn Gu Xinian! He is so ungraceful! Wasn't he coerced and coerced by her into meeting Ye Qingning? As for being so vindictive? He deliberately left Cui Yu for lunch before leaving because he just wanted to see a joke.
Fortunately, it was lunch time soon. Mrs. Zheng specially arranged for Gu Xinian and Cui Yu to be in the small dining room next door. Ye Qinglan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiyu had been silent all this time, but then she suddenly laughed softly and said: "Cousin Lan, that Cui Yu seems to like you!"
Ye Qinglan hurriedly denied: "It's okay, he is my cousin-in-law's brother, and he is considered an in-law. Probably because of this relationship, he talked to me a few more words."
Gu Xiyu looked at Ye Qinglan doubtfully: "Is it true?"
Ye Qinglan nodded with a serious face. Her expression couldn't be more serious. Gu Xiyu was indeed fooled and stopped questioning.
But Mrs. Zheng was not so easy to fool. She smiled and said casually: "This Cui Yu is quite polite. Xinian saved him yesterday, and today he came to express his gratitude. He really deserves to be from a scholarly family.
"
Ye Qinglan smiled and agreed casually: "That's what my aunt said! I also heard my cousin talk about him. I heard that he studied in the Imperial College and is quite knowledgeable."
Mrs. Zheng smiled calmly: "Oh? That's really good." After a pause, she added: "Although Cui Yu is a concubine, he is the only son of Cui's eldest son. He will inherit Cui in the future.
He comes from a family that owns a family. Looking at his words and actions today, he is also a very sensible boy. I wonder which girl in the future will be so lucky and be able to find such a good marriage."
Both inside and outside the words, almost every word was directed at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan was speechless for a moment and simply continued to smile.
Seeing that she refused to answer the question, Mrs. Zheng couldn't figure out Ye Qinglan's thoughts for a moment, so she smiled and changed the topic: "The food is here, use your chopsticks quickly, otherwise it will get cold."
After lunch, he went to the main hall of Jingxinyuan and sat for a while. Cui Yu finally stood up and said goodbye reluctantly.
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Cousin Lan, why don't you send Mr. Cui off together?"
Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth secretly, but a gentle and calm smile appeared on her face: "As long as Cousin Gu sends it to you, I am not feeling well today and want to go back and rest early." If you want to see her jokes, there is no way!
A hint of joking flashed in Gu Xinian's eyes, and he was about to say something when he suddenly heard Cui Yu interrupt nervously: "Is Sister Ye not feeling well? Have you asked the doctor to come and take a look?"
…
Ye Qinglan braced herself and responded under Gu Xinian's raised eyebrows and smiling eyes: "There's no need to call a doctor for this little problem. I've been like this since I returned to the capital. I just need more rest."
Cui Yu said hurriedly: "Then sister Ye, don't send me off. Go back and rest quickly. It's important to take care of yourself. I...I will definitely go to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion to see you in the future."
…
It was the first time in Ye Qinglan's life that she encountered such an embarrassing battle. She didn't know how to react for a moment. Nodding in agreement? Of course not. This was simply encouraging Cui Yu to approach her in disguise. But if he didn't agree, Cui Yu used that kind of behavior again.
Looking at myself eagerly...
Mrs. Zheng suppressed her laughter and smiled to help Ye Qinglan: "Sister Lan, if you are not feeling well, just go back to Lengyue Pavilion with Yu'er first. Xinian and I will see Mr. Cui off together."
As expected, Mrs. Zheng is better!
Ye Qinglan nodded quickly, pulled Gu Xiyu and turned around to leave, almost running away in despair.
