The steamed sea bass is so tender and delicious that it almost melts in your mouth.
Ye Qinglan took a bite and almost swallowed it with her tongue. It was delicious, really delicious!
There are no special seasonings, and no particularly sophisticated cooking techniques are required. The deliciousness of the seabass itself is enough to conquer her taste buds. Life in ancient times was not without its benefits. Pure green and pollution-free ingredients like this will only be lost in modern times.
I couldn't find it even if I tried to look for it.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Ye Qingning couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled, then picked up another piece and put it into her bowl. By coincidence, Cui Wan also picked up a piece of fish meat, and the two people's actions in unison made Ye Qinglan feel warm in her heart.
After dinner, everyone moved to the side hall to have a rest and chat.
Cui Wan asked with concern about Ye Qinglan's situation in Dingguo's palace. Ye Qinglan avoided the important and ignored the important and said with a smile: "I have opened my eyes this time. I followed cousin Xiyu into the palace a few days ago!"
Cui Wan is also a person with raised eyebrows and bright eyes. Seeing that Ye Qinglan was unwilling to mention it more, she didn't ask any more questions and cooperated to change the topic.
Ye Qinglan also looked at Cui Wan without any trace.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Cui Wan seemed to have lost some weight. Although he was chatting and laughing, the hint of loneliness in his eyes could not be hidden from Ye Qinglan. It seems that Cui Wan has not lived a good life after Cui Jing came to the house.
good.
Ye Qingning was always a little absent-minded and did not speak.
After coming out of Luomei Courtyard, Ye Qingning whispered: "Sixth sister, come to Huancui Pavilion and sit down and talk for a while!"
Ye Qinglan nodded and only took Ruixue with him. The other maids went back to Hefeng Courtyard first to settle down.
After entering Huancui Pavilion, Ye Qingning casually ordered: "Zhixia, Ruixue, you two go and wait outside the door. Don't let anyone come and disturb us." The two maids responded in unison.
Several candlesticks illuminated the room brightly, and Ye Qingning's complex eyes were clearly visible. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Thirteenth sister, did you really quarrel with Cousin Gu?"
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter. Sure enough, what Ye Qingning was paying attention to was not Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu at all. It wasn't why she came back early, but the quarrel between Gu Xinian and her.
"Well," Ye Qinglan admitted bluntly: "Not only did we quarrel, but it was quite loud. Cousin Gu hated Shen Chang'an very much, so when he saw me talking to him, he vented his anger on me and said a few unpleasant words.
.In anger, I started to quarrel with him."
Ye Qingning didn't say a word, but there was a look of envy and jealousy in his eyes, and he felt even more sour in his heart.
Cousin Gu has never lost his temper with other women...
Ye Qinglan saw her little thoughts clearly, and teased with a smile: "Sixth sister, you are not jealous of the quarrel between me and cousin Gu! If possible, I would like to take advantage of such a good thing
'Give it to you."
Ye Qingning was struck by what he said, and became a little angry. He rolled his eyes at her and said: "Who said I was envious? I just feel a little strange. My cousin is personable and polite, but I have never heard of anyone he had a relationship with.
Quarrel."
Ye Qinglan smiled and said nothing. What Ye Qingning saw was just the gentle man who pretended to be in front of others. Gu Xinian's true face was not that. However, these words could not be said to Ye Qingning. If she was not happy in her heart, she could only
I can let her go.
The room was quiet for a moment, and then Ye Qingning's voice sounded again: "By the way, what's going on with cousin Xiyu and that Shen Chang'an?"
Ye Qinglan cooperated very well and changed the subject. She told Ye Qingning about the chance encounter between Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu.
Ye Qingning was enjoying listening to it. He really didn't expect that Gu Xiyu would have such "love luck".
"Although I have never met this Shen Changan, I have heard of his name." Ye Qingning said with a smile: "I heard that there is a scar on his face that disfigures his appearance. Is it true?"
Ye Qinglan nodded.
Ye Qingning took a breath and blurted out: "Isn't that very hideous and terrifying?" The beautiful men in the fantasy of the delicate ladies raised in the boudoir are all handsome, gentle, talented, and elegant, and they cannot imagine being tall and strong. What would a martial artist with a scar on his face look like?
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter: "It's not that exaggerated. It's just a scar. It's not too long, but it's hideous and terrifying. If you ask me, I think he is much better-looking than those weak scholars."
Ye Qingning's eyes widened in disbelief: "Ten, ten sisters, your vision is so 'unique'!" She really couldn't imagine how such a man could be seen.
Ye Qinglan shrugged casually. Well, the aesthetics are different, there is nothing to argue with.
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan secretly, and asked worriedly: "You shouldn't... fall in love with Shen Changan!"
…
Ye Qinglan choked on her own saliva, and responded angrily and amusedly: "Sixth Sister, please stop joking. When did I say that I like him?"
"I'm just asking casually." Ye Qingning's smile was a little sarcastic: "However, you can't blame me for misunderstanding you. I have never heard you praise any man!"
Ye Qinglan smiled. She just complimented Shen Changan casually, but Ye Qingning actually had such an idea. Then wouldn't it be easier for her and Shen Changan to misunderstand each other when they talked together?
She had been in a rare rage before, so she didn't think about it in detail. But now that she has calmed down and thought about the situation at that time, she can't blame Gu Xinian for misunderstanding. Whoever sees a young girl If you are talking and laughing with a man, you will probably feel something is wrong.
However, even if she really has a crush on Shen Chang'an, what kind of anger is Gu Xinian having? It can't be because of a taste...
Ye Qinglan was horrified by the thought that flashed through her mind. She quickly waved away this ridiculous thought. No matter what the reason was, it could never be this one!
Of course she was very wary of Gu Xinian, and Gu Xinian had never shown any affection for her. How could she be interested in her just because she said a few words to Shen Chang'an? He must be worried that he would instigate Shen Chang'an and Gu Xiyu Coming and going. That must be the case!!!
"What are you thinking about? Why haven't you spoken?" Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan curiously. Her expression seemed a little strange.
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and said with a vague smile: "Nothing, I was just wondering what will happen to cousin Xiyu and Shen Changan in the future."
Ye Qingning responded disapprovingly: "What else can we do? Since my aunt, uncle, and cousin don't agree, it definitely won't happen."
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Qinglan analyzed methodically: "In my opinion, Duke Dingguo and his wife are in favor of it. And with the Queen and the Queen behind to add fuel to the flames, there's no telling what the outcome of this matter will be."
More importantly, Gu Xiyu has developed a slight affection for Shen Changan. This kind of affection may make Mrs. Zheng and Gu Xinian change their minds at a critical moment.
In short, everything is possible!
Ye Qingning couldn't help but muttered: "I really can't figure out how cousin Xiyu, who is so weak and quiet, could fall in love with a martial artist."
As the saying goes, the only way to be inferior is to read well. Students from poor families certainly regard scientific examinations as the best way out. Even officials from noble families and famous families have very strict requirements for their children. They will be enlightened and literate at the age of five or six at most. Even if a warrior becomes a general, in the eyes of ladies from noble families, he is still vulgar and uncivilized and is looked down upon.
"What's wrong with the martial artist?" Ye Qinglan retorted indifferently: "If you are strong and strong in martial arts, you can better protect your family, wife and children. Besides, most of the people who practice martial arts are upright and don't talk in a roundabout way. It’s easier to get along with. I don’t see anything wrong with Takefu.”
Ye Qingning was choked and retorted unconvinced: "If cousin Xiyu marries such a person, wouldn't there be no common topics in the future?"
"Life is not all about romance. How can we survive without talking about poetry?" Ye Qinglan blocked Ye Qingning's words with a light sentence.
Ye Qingning couldn't defeat her, but he was unwilling to give in. He muttered unhappily: "Just wait and see. I bet you that my aunt and the others will never agree to cousin Xiyu marrying Shen Changan."
Seeing that she was a little annoyed, Ye Qinglan smiled and stopped, and did not continue to argue with her.
This topic hurts my temper, so I'd better change it to another one.
Ye Qinglan smiled and asked casually: "Have you ever been out of the house these days?"
At the mention of this, Ye Qingning's face suddenly dropped, and he replied listlessly: "Don't mention it. My mother said that I am an engaged person, so I should stay in my boudoir and wait for my marriage. I cannot go out and have fun at other houses. You are a guest and you will never take me with you again."
She was too lazy to deal with Ye Qingrou, and the speculative Ye Qinglan was not in the house, so her days were extremely depressing.
Ye Qinglan smiled and reassured: "Am I back now? I won't go to anyone who invites me to be a guest in the future. I will stay in the house with you every day."
Ye Qingning was amused.
The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the time passed unknowingly when they started chatting. Zhixia and Ruixue wanted to urge them, but they were annoyed by Ye Qingning's bad temper. They had no choice but to continue waiting outside the door.
The sound of the watchman hitting the clock reached my ears in the distance.
Before I knew it, it was already midnight.
Ye Qinglan was about to stand up and leave, but Ye Qingning smiled and said: "It's so late, why don't you go back, just sleep here for one night, and we can chat as long as you want."
Ye Qinglan was startled, then smiled and nodded.
Ye Qingning's temperament is completely different from Gu Xiyu's. To put it in a layman's terms, Ye Qingning is a bit of a germaphobe and even refuses to let anyone enter the boudoir. He never expected that he would take the initiative to ask her to stay today.
Of course I cannot refuse such a rare opportunity to increase my relationship. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
