No matter how innocent and innocent Gu Xiyu is, she can still see Ye Qinglan's embarrassment. After leaving everyone's sight, she laughed in a low voice: "I think Cui Yu is not bad, why don't you want to see him so much?"
Of course she has to be seen! She must stay away from him! Otherwise, she will wait to be packed up and taken to the Cui family as a wife!
It's not that Cui Yu is not good, it's just that she really can't accept such a half-year-old boy in her heart. What's more, she has just arrived, she still has a little understanding of this dynasty and everything around her, and she has not yet established a firm foothold in Changyuan Uncle's Mansion.
There are a lot of things to do at the moment, and it is not time to consider life-long events. Therefore, facing Cui Yu's obvious affection, she was not happy, she only felt a headache.
Ye Qinglan sighed unconsciously and replied listlessly: "Let's not mention him."
Gu Xiyu, however, had a rare moment of conversation, and still persisted in saying, "Do you really not like him at all?"
Ye Qinglan's heart moved, and she smiled and joked: "Cousin Xiyu, why are you so interested in this matter? Maybe you have fallen in love with that Cui Yu!"
Gu Xiyu blushed slightly and glared at Ye Qinglan. She wanted to say something back, but her mind went blank. After holding it in for a long time, she managed to squeeze out one sentence: "I hate you, I'll ignore you!"
Ye Qinglan was so amused that she giggled, and the previous depression was instantly swept away.
Forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, so don't think about it. We will talk about the future things later. Even if Cui Yu really goes to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion, as long as she doesn't want to see him, she can always find reasons to avoid him.
In the next few days, life was uneventful and uneventful.
Gu Xinian didn't show up for several days. He didn't know what he was busy with. Without Gu Xinian, Ye Qinglan suddenly felt that his life was a lot more relaxed and happy. He accompanied Gu Xiyu every day to read, practice calligraphy and painting, and went to the garden to enjoy flowers, not to mention
How pleasant.
The only fly in the ointment is that I occasionally meet Gu Yongnian.
But it was a bit strange. Gu Yongnian didn't wait for an opportunity to pester her. He would say a few words in a hurry and leave. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, Ye Qinglan was in a very comfortable mood.
In the afternoon of this day, Mrs. Zheng specially called Gu Xiyu to come over and talk: "...Yu'er, tomorrow is your uncle's birthday. Your father and I are going back to Zheng Guogong's mansion, can you go back with us?"
Gu Xiyu has become increasingly cheerful recently, and after hearing this, she is no longer as repulsive as before. After thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Zheng was in a very good mood and couldn't help but smile: "My Yu'er has finally grown up."
These few words revealed the bitterness and helplessness that Mrs. Zheng once had. Other noble women would take their daughters-in-law and daughters with them when they went out to socialize. But she had never enjoyed such treatment. Apart from her eldest son Gu Shengnian
Not to mention his wife Fan, she doesn’t even have a serious daughter-in-law, and her daughter Gu Xiyu refuses to go out to meet people. She goes out to socialize and socialize alone. This feeling is really uncomfortable...
Fortunately, Gu Xiyu is finally slowly changing. And all of this is thanks to Ye Qinglan.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng looked at Ye Qinglan with softer eyes: "Sister Lan, you can go with us tomorrow!"
Ye Qinglan pretended to decline a few words and then agreed.
Since I came back from Ciyun Temple last time, I haven't left the mansion for ten days. No matter how beautiful the scenery of Duke Dingguo's mansion is, I still feel a little tired of it. It's a great thing to have the opportunity to go out for some fresh air.
What's more, on such an occasion, Mrs. Zheng will definitely take Ye Qingning back together. At that time, it will be a good time to see how Ye Qingning is doing.
The next morning, after everything was ready, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu got into a luxurious carriage together. Gu Hong and Mrs. Zheng were also in the carriage. Naturally, Ye Qinglan was not in the mood to whisper to Gu Xiyu, and kept her nose and nose in mind along the way.
Sitting still is such a painful torture.
Gu Xinian, who has not been seen for several days, is also traveling with us today. He is still wearing a plain brocade robe, riding a tall white horse on the clouds, and his faint smile can kill all the girls in an instant.
Ye Qinglan didn't have a chance to look at the scenery outside the window during the whole journey. It wasn't until she got off the carriage that she took a glance.
The century-old family has an indescribable rich heritage. The door is obviously not particularly spacious and a bit old, but the awe-inspiring solemnity comes to the face.
Gu Xiyu, who was acting normal all the way, suddenly started to shrink back and sat on the carriage, refusing to get off.
Gu Hong frowned and wanted to reprimand him, but he thought that after every reprimand, Gu Xiyu would sob and cry for a long time, so he had no choice but to give up.
Mrs. Zheng was a little anxious, and coaxed in a low voice: "Yu'er, didn't we agree before? This is your maternal grandfather's house, and today is your uncle's birthday. There are not many guests here, and they are all familiar
Relatives and friends. Don’t be afraid, please come down, okay?”
Gu Xiyu seemed not to hear it and refused to move.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Xinian also came over and said in a low voice: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Do you don't want to go in? If you don't want to go, my eldest brother will take you home now."
Gu Xiyu raised her head, her big eyes sparkling with water, looking aggrieved, but she refused to say a word.
Mrs. Zheng was also a little anxious and raised her voice unconsciously: "We are already here, there is no reason to go back. If your uncle finds out, he will definitely be angry..."
Gu Xiyu bit her lip hard, tears welling up in her eyes and threatening to fall down at any moment.
Ye Qinglan looked very distressed and hurriedly whispered: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm here to persuade cousin Xiyu."
Mrs. Zheng nodded helplessly.
Ye Qinglan got on the carriage again and closed the door. She and Gu Xiyu were the only two people left in the carriage. She softened her voice: "Cousin Xiyu, I know you really want to go, but you are a little scared, so you
You don’t dare to get off the carriage, right?”
The familiar voice soothed Gu Xiyu's uneasiness, and she nodded slightly unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan's eyes were full of encouragement: "Don't be afraid, as long as you hold your chest high and go out, no one will look at you strangely. Moreover, this is your maternal grandfather's home, and the people you will see later will be your relatives."
, there is nothing to be afraid of. Can I go down with you? Just like the last time at the British Government Palace, I walked bravely in front of everyone."
Gu Xiyu took a few deep breaths and finally nodded.
Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, took Gu Xiyu's hand, and got out of the carriage together.
When Mrs. Zheng and others saw that she had successfully persuaded Gu Xiyu to get off the carriage, they were all surprised and happy. Even Gu Hong couldn't help but look at Ye Qinglan a few more times, thinking to himself, I really can't see how this little girl has any
Such a good eloquence was able to persuade Yu'er in such a short period of time.
Ye Qinglan did not take the credit, and said with a smile: "Aunt, cousin Xiyu was just a little nervous just now, but she is fine now."
Mrs. Zheng smiled with relief, took Gu Xiyu's left hand, and entered the Duke Zheng's mansion together.
The mother in charge who came to greet her was an old man in the house. She was naturally familiar with Mrs. Zheng. She smiled and exchanged a few words before leading the group of people inside. But she was secretly wondering about this girl who was holding Gu Xiyu so affectionately.
Who is she? When did the Duke of Dingguo’s palace have such a young lady again? Could it be another distant relative from another branch?
Although Ye Qinglan knew that her appearance was too high-profile, there was nothing she could do about it. Gu Xiyu's palms were sweating all the time. If she hadn't been holding her hands tightly, she was afraid that Gu Xiyu would shrink back again.
After more than half a month of treatment, she has seen significant improvement. At this critical moment, she cannot be allowed to retract under any circumstances.
A heart disease needs heart medicine! Gu Xiyu has to learn to face the crowd. Therefore, she must not be soft-hearted at this time.
Zheng Yun and his wife got the news and rushed out to welcome them. Behind them were Zheng Junyan and his children, as well as a large number of maids and women. A large group of people came towards them.
Gu Xiyu's mind went blank, her breathing became a little rapid, and her hands trembled slightly unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan squeezed her cold hand hard and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."
Gu Xiyu barely came back to her senses, twitching the corners of her lips, and the panic in her eyes finally dissipated a little.
"Take a deep breath and stay calm." Ye Qinglan controlled the volume very skillfully. Apart from Gu Xiyu, only Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian could vaguely hear what she was saying.
Mrs. Zheng was too busy chatting with Zheng Yun and his wife that she couldn't care about it for the moment. Gu Xinian was paying attention to Ye Qinglan.
Under the bright sunshine, that delicate little face still had a comforting smile as usual, and her eyes were incredibly bright. Her voice was gentle and low, like a clear spring slowly flowing into people's hearts.
What kind of magic power makes Gu Xiyu so willing to listen to her?
Ye Qinglan had already noticed that Gu Xinian was looking at her with a critical eye again, but she just pretended not to know and still patiently comforted Gu Xiyu in a low voice. As long as she could survive today, Gu Xiyu's autism would be half cured.
At this moment, in this place, in this situation, it is not appropriate to compete with Gu Xinian. If he wants to watch it, let him watch it. Even if he watches it for a longer time and becomes more suspicious, what will happen?
After some pleasantries, everyone followed Gu Hong and his wife into the main hall and sat down.
Mrs. Zheng naturally let go of Gu Xiyu's hand. Gu Xiyu panicked and unconsciously held Ye Qinglan's hand tightly with her right hand.
I really can't believe that the delicate Gu Xiyu has such great strength.
Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. She still stood beside Gu Xiyu with a smile. The wide sleeves just covered the two people's clasped hands. No one paid attention to them for a while.
No, there was another person who had been staring closely at Gu Xiyu. His eyes were so intense that he could hardly bear to blink.
It’s Zheng Junyan!
Gu Xiyu lowered her head and didn't notice, but both Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian noticed Zheng Junyan's absence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is
