Ye Qinglan was also startled, and subconsciously sat up straight and looked at Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "It was all Xinian's fault last time. He and Sister Lan had a few arguments over trivial matters, which made Sister Lan angry. I don't know if Sister Lan has calmed down, but I haven't."
This person invited Sister Lan to our house again. But Yu'er is thinking about Sister Lan every day. After much deliberation, she had no choice but to let Yu'er come to live in Uncle Changyuan's house for a while."
...
Ye Qinglan's mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't recover for a while.
Did she hear it right? Mrs. Zheng actually asked Gu Xiyu to live in Changyuan Bo Lai Mansion! Was this Mrs. Zheng's intention, or was it Gu Xiyu's own insistence?
Seeing Ye Qinglan's surprised look, Gu Xiyu felt a little proud. She said in a very low voice, "I'm the one who came."
Ye Qinglan composed herself and smiled at Gu Xiyu. Before she could say anything, she heard Mrs. Zheng say again: "I also know that this request is a bit abrupt. I have to trouble my sister to take care of Yu'er for a while."
Mrs. Zheng coughed and responded with a smile: "Look what you said, what's the trouble? Yu'er wants to be a guest, but it's a good thing that you can't ask for. You can stay as long as you want."
Although the words were beautiful and sweet, Ms. Zheng was secretly muttering in her heart. If it were any other girl, let alone staying in the house for a few days, even staying in the house for three or two years would be nothing. The house is such a big place.
, there are many empty rooms, so it really doesn’t matter if there is one more person. But Gu Xiyu’s temperament is different from ordinary people. If something unpleasant happens in Uncle Changyuan’s house, how will she explain to Mrs. Zheng?
It's just that you can just think about these concerns in your mind, but you can't say a word out loud. Otherwise, your sister's face will be completely hurt.
Mrs. Zheng is also a smart person with raised eyebrows and bright eyes. How could she not know Mrs. Zheng's inner concerns. If it were her, she would probably have a headache because of the sudden addition of such a lonely and eccentric guest in the house. However, for the sake of her daughter, she couldn't tell
I could only act shamelessly and pretend I didn't see the trace of reluctance in Zheng's eyes.
Ye Qingning interrupted and asked: "Mom, where does cousin Xiyu live?"
Mrs. Zheng thought for a while and said: "How about staying in Luomeiyuan! I will order people to clean the guest room and place the luggage right now..."
"I want to live with Cousin Lan." Gu Xiyu suddenly said something in a very firm tone.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "The environment of Hefengyuan is not bad, but it is a little far away. I am really worried about you two girls living there."
Gu Xiyu's eyes widened with an innocent expression: "Cousin Lan can live alone. Why can't she live with me?"
…
Even though Zheng was shrewd, tactful and good at dealing with things, she didn't know how to answer such a simple and straightforward question.
In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, and everyone here knows it well. Although Ye Qinglan is young, her temperament is calm and meticulous, and she has no problem living alone in Hefeng Courtyard. But Gu Xiyu... everyone
We all know it! How can we do it without adults to take care of us!!!
Mrs. Zheng coughed and said with a smile: "Yu'er, don't make trouble, just listen to your aunt's arrangements. You like to talk with Sister Lan. You have a lot of time during the day. Just rest in Luomei Courtyard at night..."
"I want to live with cousin Lan." Gu Xiyu became stubborn and no one could persuade her.
Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to look at Ms. Zheng apologetically: "Otherwise, let Yu'er live in Hefengyuan! I'll ask Mama Huang to stay and take care of her."
Zheng nodded helplessly.
Before Gu Xiyu had time to be happy, she heard Ye Qingning protest dissatisfiedly: "Ten sisters have been living in Huancui Pavilion a few days ago. Now that I am back to Hefeng Courtyard, I am so bored. I don't even have anyone to talk to."
…
Why does she feel like she has become a best-seller and is in short supply?
Ye Qinglan was silently embarrassed. Gu Xiyu is essentially a child and can only make a fuss. What is Ye Qingning trying to do? Isn't it disgusting to see Gu Xiyu being so close to her? It's really a headache...
Fortunately, her pretense skills are top-notch. She just blinks and pretends to be innocent. She doesn't want to get involved in this troublesome question of where to live.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zheng glared at her angrily: "How old are you, and you are still making nonsense!"
Ye Qingning showed a rare moment of childishness, and responded with a sullen face: "I am not fooling around, I am telling the truth." Why would Gu Xiyu snatch away the tenth sister when she comes? Then we have to look at her.
Are you happy or not!
Mrs. Zheng didn't expect that Ye Qingning would become stubborn at this moment. She couldn't laugh or cry, and simply said: "In that case, let Xiyu live in Huancui Pavilion. Anyway, Huancui Pavilion is very big, and it can accommodate the three of you."
It's more than enough. It happens to be closer to Luomei Courtyard, so it's convenient for me to take care of you three."
Okay! This arrangement is barely acceptable.
Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu were silent. But Ye Qinglan remembered another troublesome problem: at night, Gu Xiyu would definitely sleep with her. What if Ye Qingning asked for the same?
Accompanying Gu Xiyu, Ye Qingning will feel bad. Accompanying Ye Qingning, that's even worse. Gu Xiyu goes to a strange place, and it's weird not to be afraid. She has to accompany Gu Xiyu. Three people sleeping together? Not even possible. Ye Qingning is a little bit
Gu Xiyu is a mysophobic and is not used to having physical contact with others.
After much thought, Ye Qinglan couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem. She couldn't help but secretly lamented why she didn't practice the art of body splitting...
Mrs. Zheng ordered Dong Yan to lead the maid to clean the guest room in Huancui Pavilion. Ye Qingning winked at Zhixia, and Zhixia hurriedly followed.
Gu Xiyu was obviously well prepared when she came this time. The personal maids Mo Xiang and Jade came with her, as well as four second-class maids, plus two mothers in charge, and a lot of luggage, which is quite impressive. Okay.
The place in Huancui Pavilion is big enough, otherwise it would be difficult to place it.
It was busy until evening before everyone settled down.
Mrs. Zheng tried to persuade her to stay, but Mrs. Zheng insisted on going back. Before taking her away, she took Gu Xiyu's hand and warned her for a long time: "Yu'er, you must listen to your aunt and don't cause trouble to your aunt, do you understand? Also,
I have people deliver letters back every day..."
It's really not much, just a cup of tea.
Gu Xiyu nodded casually, not knowing how much he heard.
Gu Xiyu has grown up, and this is the first time she has left Mrs. Zheng. It is inevitable that Mrs. Zheng is worried, so she took Mrs. Zheng's hand and explained: "Sister, I really want to trouble you this time. Yu
You also know that my son is withdrawn, so I ask you to take good care of me. If anything goes wrong, please immediately send a letter to Duke Dingguo's mansion, and I will come to take Yu'er back..."
It’s not too long, just two cups of tea.
Mrs. Zheng was very considerate of Mrs. Zheng's mood, soothed her with a smile, and finally sent the worried Mrs. Zheng away.
As soon as Mrs. Zheng left, the three girls breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qingning glanced at Gu Xiyu and couldn't help joking: "Cousin Xiyu, I think my aunt really wants to hold you in her hands!" It is inevitable for mothers to love their daughters, but it is indeed rare to be like Mrs. Zheng.
Gu Xiyu said nothing and didn't have much expression on her face.
In fact, if you have been with Gu Xiyu for a long time, you will know that Gu Xiyu's reaction is not deliberately embarrassing. It's just that she doesn't like to talk, her reactions are slow, and she is not good at communicating with others.
Such conversations will most likely be met with silence.
Ye Qingning also knew a thing or two about her temperament, but he didn't take it to heart. However, when he saw Gu Xiyu's reaction when Ye Qinglan spoke, Ye Qingning felt less happy.
"Cousin Xiyu, how are you doing these days?" Ye Qinglan asked with concern.
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips in grievance: "No, no one talks to me, and no one paints with me. I'm so bored."
Ye Qinglan felt guilty and self-blame for provoking her, so she hurriedly coaxed her: "It's all my fault. From now on, I will talk to you every day. If you want to paint, I will just sit there and not move for the whole day, okay?"
?”
Gu Xiyu smiled, thought for a while and then said: "You will be too tired after a whole day, just half a day will be enough."
…
Doesn’t she have rich expressions? Doesn’t she talk a lot? Why was she acting like a wooden doll when I was talking to her just now?
Miss Ye Liu began to feel troubled and upset again. She couldn't tell what she was angry about for a while. Anyway, seeing Ye Qinglan patiently talking to Gu Xiyu, she felt uncomfortable in all kinds of ways!
Naturally, dinner was eaten in Luomei Courtyard. Ye Chengren did not come back from socializing outside, so Zheng sent someone to call Ye Yuanwei and his wife, and Sister Qiao naturally followed. Ye Qingning, Ye Qinglan, and Gu Xiyu happened to be sitting around the table.
The table was full.
Cui Wan happened to be sitting across from her. Ye Qinglan looked at her calmly. Seeing that her face was rosy and her complexion was very good, she felt very comforted. Women are like flowers. Without the care and consideration of their husbands, they are like flowers that have lost their moisture.
Generally, the brightest flowers will wither quickly. Now that Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan's relationship has recovered, they are even more harmonious than before, which is naturally a good thing.
Cui Wan noticed Ye Qinglan's concerned gaze and smiled slightly. Don't worry, I have completely figured it out now and won't be stupid again.
Ye Qinglan smiled knowingly. She no longer had to worry about Cui Wan.
They ate and slept in silence. Although there were so many people at the dinner table, no one spoke. Only the slight sound of bowls, chopsticks, cups and plates could be heard. After finishing the meal, they moved to the side hall, and everyone began to talk casually and freely.
Mrs. Zheng originally wanted to give Cui Wan a few words, but then she thought about it. There are still a few girls here who have not left the court, and some words seem to be inconvenient to say. It is better to wait until there is time in the future to talk about it.
Thinking of this, Ms. Zheng let Cui Wan go and looked at Gu Xiyu kindly: "Xiyu, are you still used to the food?"
Gu Xiyu responded honestly: "I'm used to eating, but I don't have my favorite steamed lotus leaf rice."
