When it was lunch time, Mrs. Zheng enthusiastically invited Gu Xinian to have lunch. Gu Xinian declined a few words and then stayed with him more respectfully than as ordered.
Ye Qingrou was reluctant to leave, but Mrs. Li sent her personal maid to call her, so she had no choice but to say goodbye aggrievedly.
There were no outsiders, so there was no need to pay attention to the cumbersome rules of men and women sitting at separate tables. Everyone just gathered around and sat down at one table.
Zheng asked casually: "Why didn't Sister Lan come here today?"
Ye Qingning coughed and replied: "Ten sister is not feeling well. She is resting in the Hefeng Courtyard. She probably won't come back. I'll ask Zhixia to go over and take a look."
Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed, and she nodded with a smile. She felt strange in her heart when Ye Qinglan didn't show up before. Now she didn't even show up for lunch, apparently deliberately avoiding Gu Xinian. Zhi Xia's trip must have been in vain.
And returned.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Zhixia hurried back and reported: "Miss Ten is feeling unwell and said she can't come over."
Gu Xinian's eyes were dark, but his face was calm. After finishing lunch, Gu Xinian suddenly smiled and said: "Aunt, I have something to say to Yu'er alone. Please allow Yu'er and I to leave temporarily.
moment."
Mrs. Zheng responded with a smile.
The brother and sister wanted to talk alone, so Ye Qingning couldn't follow them shamelessly, so he could only watch them go. He couldn't help but sigh, and when he turned around, he met Zheng's slightly displeased eyes. Ye Qingning felt a little guilty.
Opened my eyes.
Zheng scolded her gently: "Ning'er, you are already engaged, and you will get married next year at the most. You must be careful in your words and deeds."
Ye Qingning bit her lip and said nothing.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her stubborn look. Her heart softened suddenly, and her tone softened as well: "Okay, you should go back and rest first!"
Ye Qingning was so confused that he didn't say anything and left in silence.
Zheng looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Xiyu silently followed Gu Xinian. After walking for a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong and asked hesitantly: "Brother, don't you have something to tell me?" Why are you keeping going forward? Moreover, this direction seems to be heading
Hefengyuan......
Gu Xinian smiled casually and said casually: "We can decide it after we get to Hefeng Yuan."
Gu Xiyu paused in her steps and suddenly raised her voice: "Brother, are you going to He Feng Yuan?" However, Cousin Lan hid in He Feng Yuan because she didn't want to miss him!
Gu Xinian stopped, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Of course it's not right, it's still very wrong! The two of them get into a tense situation whenever they meet. What if they quarrel again? Gu Xiyu thought for a long time before she came up with a reason: "Cousin Lan is not feeling well.
She’s resting, let’s not disturb her!”
Gu Xinian twitched his lips and smiled: "Oh? Is Cousin Lan not feeling well? Then I'm going to 'visit'. Also, if you live here, you must trouble Cousin Lan to take care of her. Just in time.
Take this opportunity to thank her."
No matter how ignorant Gu Xiyu was about worldly affairs, she noticed that something was wrong. She wanted to say something else, but Gu Xinian had already walked away. Gu Xiyu had no choice but to follow him, secretly anxious in her heart. But the more anxious she became, the more nervous she became.
It's a blank, and I can't think of anything at all.
Seeing Hefeng Courtyard approaching, the door was clearly visible. Gu Xiyu said cruelly: "Brother, don't go in. Cousin Lan...she's not sick at all, she just doesn't want to see you." After saying that, Gu Xiyu
Yu lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at Gu Xinian anymore.
Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Gu Xinian smiled and sighed: "Yu'er, you finally told me the truth." If Gu Xiyu had remained silent, he, the eldest brother, would not be a person at all. It tastes good.
Uh, why did brother react like this?
Gu Xiyu raised her head in confusion. Of course, with her skills, she couldn't guess what was brewing in Gu Xinian's calm smile.
"Actually, I had already guessed that she was pretending to be ill." Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I will never quarrel with her again this time."
Gu Xiyu glanced at him suspiciously.
Gu Xinian couldn't laugh or cry: "What, you don't believe what I said?" Since Ye Qinglan appeared, Gu Xiyu's changes were slow but very significant. In the past, Gu Xiyu would never doubt what he said.
Gu Xiyu reluctantly responded: "Of course I believe you, brother." Having said that, the expression on her face was not what she was looking for.
Gu Xinian was both angry and funny, and reluctantly promised: "Brother, I promise you that if I argue with Cousin Lan again, you will ignore me from now on, that's fine!"
Gu Xiyu felt relieved and walked forward with Gu Xinian. The young man Quanfu rushed to knock on the door. The one who opened the door was the young maid Ying'er.
When Ying'er saw the visitor, she hurriedly smiled and saluted him, but she was secretly wondering. Why did Gu Xinian come to the Hefeng Courtyard? Just as she was thinking of informing him, Gu Xinian had already entered the courtyard slowly.
Most of the courtyards at this time were courtyards with four entrances, with similar structures. Although it was the first time for Gu Xinian to come to Hefeng Courtyard, he glanced at it and naturally walked towards the main hall. The main hall is usually used for entertaining guests. , bypassing the main hall, there is a slightly smaller side hall, which is the place for daily living.
As soon as I walked to the door and before I stepped into the side hall, a familiar girl's voice came out: "I hate it, why are the embroidery crooked again..." There was a rare hint of shame in that voice.
Gu Xinian subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, and a smile quickly flashed in his eyes.
Just as Gu Xiyu was about to speak, she saw Gu Xinian wink at her quickly. Gu Xiyu reflexively stopped talking, subconsciously slowed down her steps, and entered the side hall with Gu Xinian.
After completing this series of actions, Gu Xiyu suddenly thought of a question. It was strange, why did they sneak in like thieves?
Ruixue, who was waiting on the side, was startled by the two brothers and sisters who suddenly walked in, and was about to open her mouth. Gu Xinian looked over, with a smile in his black eyes, as if he could talk.
Ruixue was instantly dazzled by the beautiful man's smile, her heart was beating wildly, and she naturally forgot to remind her master.
At this time, Ye Qinglan was lowering her head and working hard with her purse. Embroidery requires full concentration. Ye Qinglan lowered her head seriously and was slightly clumsy in flying needles, but she did not notice the slight footsteps behind her.
I didn’t understand it when I was not learning, but now I know how much effort it takes to embroider a purse. I have been working on this humble purse in my hand for several days, and it is finally finished. Only the last few stitches are left, come on!
Ye Qinglan concentrated on finishing the last stitch, and finally finished embroidering the half-opened orchid. Although the needlework was crooked and the pattern was a bit strange, it was still the first purse she had made!
Ye Qinglan raised her head happily and proudly announced to Ruixue: "Ruixue, come quickly and take a look, my purse is ready!"
Huh? Why is Ruixue's expression so weird? Also, what's going on with the uncontrollable laughter behind her?
Ye Qinglan turned back suspiciously, then gasped and stood up reflexively: "You, why are you here?!"
Who can tell her why this person suddenly appeared here!!!
Gu Xinian smiled leisurely and said politely: "I heard that Cousin Lan is in poor health, so I came here to visit." After a pause, he smiled slowly and said: "However, since Cousin Lan has the strength to embroider purses,
I think I’m almost in good health now!”
His tone was so gentle and polite, but his eyes were full of teasing smiles.
Ye Qinglan suppressed the fire that was rising in her heart, and responded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, cousin Gu, my health is indeed much better." If you can see the point and disappear from my eyes immediately, I will
It will get better faster!
Gu Xinian looked at the little flames shining in her eyes. Somehow, he didn't feel unhappy at all, but felt strangely relieved.
Finally saw her again!
A lot of things have happened in the past month or so. He is actually very busy and has so many things to do. However, this pretty face appears in his mind from time to time. The scene where the two had a heated argument before was like
It was like it was fixed in his mind, and he always thought of it inadvertently. Then, his heart seemed to be affected by something, and it felt faintly tingling.
Now, the two finally met again. He was in a happy mood, so there was a smile in his eyes and on his lips.
However, in Ye Qinglan's eyes, this smile was simply mockery and provocation.
Ye Qinglan tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, quickly looked away, and said to Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu, when did you come? Why didn't you say anything? I didn't want to be shocked just now!"
Gu Xiyu said a little apologetically: "Big brother didn't let me say anything. I didn't expect it would scare you."
I knew it was him!
Ye Qinglan thought angrily in her heart, but a gentle and friendly smile appeared on her face: "It doesn't matter, don't take this little thing to heart. I'm not the kind of person who can't even tolerate trivial things. I won't
Angry."
The kind of person who can't even tolerate trivial matters...who are you talking about?
Gu Xinian's eyes narrowed slightly, and most of the smile on his lips disappeared.
Ye Qinglan looked over at the right time, pretending to be surprised and smiling: "Cousin Gu, why do you look so ugly? I was just talking casually, not about you. You must be angry, right?"
Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips with a half-smile: "Of course I'm not angry."
When Ye Qinglan saw his expression, she felt extremely comfortable.
Gu Xiyu glanced at the purse in her hand and said with a smile: "Cousin Lan, have you finished embroidering your purse? Let me see."
Ye Qinglan smiled and reflexively hid her purse behind her back. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
