"The purse has not been embroidered yet!" Ye Qinglan coughed and laughed.
Gu Xiyu blinked in confusion: "But, didn't you just say it was done?" She clearly heard what Ye Qinglan said with her own ears, could it be that she heard it wrong?
"You heard me wrong." Ye Qinglan kept talking without changing her expression and her heart didn't beat. If it was only Gu Xiyu, that would be fine, but Gu Xinian was here too...she wouldn't take out her purse and embarrass herself!
Gu Xiyu said aggrievedly: "I heard you very clearly, you heard me right!" Then, she looked at Gu Xinian eagerly: "Brother, you heard it too, right?"
Gu Xinian raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, and said slowly: "I heard it, but since Cousin Lan said the embroidery was not done well, it must be that the embroidery was not done well."
Gu Xiyu was confused. What on earth was the elder brother saying? Why didn't she understand it at all?
Ye Qinglan was so angry at his teasing gaze that she gritted her teeth and took out the purse hidden behind her back: "It's done, but it doesn't look very good, so I don't have the nerve to show it to you."
Gu Xiyu took the purse enthusiastically and looked at it.
Gu Xinian glanced casually, with an unmistakable smile flashing in his eyes.
The purse is very simple, and it looks like it was made by an amateur at first glance. The elegant rosin-colored purse is embroidered with a long clump of orchids and a half-open orchid on it. Just looking at the composition and color scheme, it's not bad.
The key point is that the female red is really unbearable to see, the stitching is not fine at all, the orchid is in a mess, and the half-opened orchid looks like it has been ravaged by a storm, and it is dying and lifeless.
He can hold back a few comments without being venomous. He is so kind.
As everyone knows, the way he raised the corners of his lips and tried to hold back his laughter was more embarrassing and irritating than his sharp and vicious words.
Ye Qinglan's fair and pretty face was faintly red, but she pretended to be calm and said calmly: "I have just learned female beauties not long ago, and my skills are very poor, which made cousin Xiyu and cousin Gu laugh."
"I think it's very good!" Gu Xiyu said seriously without any sarcasm, "This peach blossom embroidery is very beautiful."
…
This is an orchid, thank you!
Ye Qinglan couldn't complain, so she forced out a smile: "I embroidered orchids. Doesn't it look like them at all?"
Uh, is it really an orchid?! Gu Xiyu was obviously stunned for a moment. Gu Xinian on the side couldn't help it anymore and laughed softly.
Ye Qinglan secretly gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Xinian, then squeezed out a smile and said to Gu Xiyu: "It's really not that good, you better stop looking at it!" With that, she was about to take her purse back.
Gu Xiyu immediately hid the purse behind her back. She said childishly: "This is the first purse you made, so give it to me. I will also learn to sew with you in the future, and I will give another to you when I make a purse."
you."
Ye Qinglan could only smile and nod. As long as you ignored Gu Xinian's unflattering smile, the atmosphere was actually quite harmonious and beautiful.
With this episode, the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed. Even if Ye Qinglan wanted to make a stern expression, it was impossible. Besides, although Gu Xinian did not apologize, since he was willing to come to Hefeng Courtyard in person, he could
It was nothing more than an apology. For such a proud man, such an action was considered very sincere. It would be too pretentious if she kept a straight face.
Thinking like this, Ye Qinglan's attitude changed subtly. Although she still didn't pay much attention to Gu Xinian, she finally stopped having tit-for-tat arguments with him.
Gu Xinian sat aside and listened to the two girls chatting about each other, but he didn't find it too boring.
Seeing this, Ruixue hurriedly asked Hongluan to bring tea and snacks.
Ye Qinglan worked hard to find a topic to chat with Gu Xiyu. It was strange to say that the two of them stayed together every day, and it was common for them not to talk. But there was no feeling of embarrassment or silence. But there was an extra Gu Xinian.
It was different. It was too strange for you to look at me and me to stare at you. Therefore, Ye Qinglan had to rack her brains to find a topic.
Gu Xiyu is much more lively and cheerful than before, and her speech is much fluent. However, there is obviously still a long way to go before she is articulate and eloquent. Most of the time, Ye Qinglan is talking, and she just nods, shakes her head or makes a hum.
.And with Gu Xinian's seemingly leisurely but actually deep and unclear gaze staring at him, Ye Qinglan almost didn't know what she was talking about.
How long will he stay?
Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth secretly in her heart and glared at him calmly. Unfortunately, Gu Xinian was also looking at her. Seeing her glaring at him, Gu Xinian was not angry at all, but instead raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Ye Qinglan felt irritated again, and when she noticed her reaction, she couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
What's wrong with me today? I'm really down from my usual level. It's just a small incident, why am I so restless all the time?
Calm down, be sure to calm down!
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath and repeated it in her heart. There was nothing to argue with such a moody man. He insisted on not leaving, didn't he just want to make her upset and unstable? She wanted to be calm.
Come down, let's see how long he can be shameless!
Then, Ye Qinglan also stopped talking, a polite smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Gu Xinian.
Gu Xinian was sensitively aware of Ye Qinglan's emotional changes. A trace of interest quickly flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Cousin Lan, Yu'er will probably live here for a long time. I need to trouble you to take care of her more."
Ye Qinglan responded with a faint smile: "Cousin Gu, there is no need to be so polite. I will definitely take good care of cousin Xiyu." Gu Xinian, who has always loved his sister, actually asked Gu Xiyu to stay longer. What do you think about this?
It's all a little weird. Could it be that Gu Xinian wanted to take the opportunity to let Gu Xiyu avoid hearing about Shen Changan?
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyu.
Gu Xiyu put her hands flat on her knees and sat quietly. Her delicate face was gentle and calm, as beautiful as a painting. Let alone a man, even a woman could not help but feel affection for her.
No wonder Shen Changan fell in love with Gu Xiyu at first sight.
Gu Xinian was so perceptive that he guessed what Ye Qinglan was thinking just by relying on Ye Qinglan's subtle movements, and said calmly: "Don't worry, Shen Changan is no longer a problem."
Ye Qinglan was secretly shocked. What did Gu Xinian mean by saying that?
When Gu Xiyu heard Shen Changan's name, her expression moved slightly, and she actually asked: "Brother, does Shen Changan still go to our house every day to deliver name cards?"
Gu Xinian's smile did not diminish, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "There is nothing going on at the border. However, there has been a group of bandits making trouble in Shandong recently. Shen Shen will be sent to suppress the bandits there. If everything goes well, it will take about a month.
I can come back in a year.”
…
Ye Qinglan was secretly stunned in her heart. Gu Xinian's methods were really ruthless, and he actually got Shen Changan to go so far away. He had just entered the court as an official, and he didn't know what method he used to achieve this. Moreover, he had just entered the court as an official. He actually persuaded Queen Gu and the others to give up their plan to marry...
When Gu Xiyu heard these words, she didn't think as much as Ye Qinglan thought. However, she also knew the fact that Shen Changan would not appear in front of her again within a year. A strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
She didn't know how to describe this feeling. She was a little lost, but also a little lucky, and she felt relieved, but also a little reluctant. These complex feelings were intertwined and messy, and she couldn't understand them.
Gu Xiyu lowered her head unconsciously.
Gu Xinian, who was always sharp and shrewd, did not notice the fluctuations in Gu Xiyu's mood this time, and said calmly: "In short, just leave Shen Changan's affairs to me. Yu'er doesn't have to worry, he will never happen again. I have the opportunity to harass you."
Gu Xiyu hummed in a low voice.
Ye Qinglan frowned unconsciously and wanted to say something, but felt that it was inappropriate to say anything.
Gu Xiyu's girlish thoughts are still in their infancy. It's certain that she has some affection for Shen Chang'an, but she can't talk about how much she likes her. This moment is definitely not a good time to reveal it. What's more, Gu Xiyu has a crush on Shen Changan. Xinian made it clear that he didn't like Shen Changan at all, so he spared no effort to get Shen Changan away. If he knew Gu Xiyu's thoughts, it would be strange not to get angry. When the time comes, he would inevitably vent his anger on others and vent his anger on her. Come up on the head.
Forget it, it's better to remain silent for now.
Anyway, Gu Xiyu is still young. If the two of them are really destined to be together, they will naturally have the opportunity to be together in the future. If there is no such fate, even if they are in the capital together, it will not help. One year, whether it is long or short, just treat it as A good test.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Gu Xinian felt a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Ye Qinglan and said, "Cousin Lan, what do you think of this matter?"
This question is so strange.
Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "It's really strange for cousin Gu to say that. Whether Shen Changan leaves or stays has nothing to do with me at all. Why should I have an opinion?"
His words were cold and sharp, not polite at all.
Gu Xinian was not angry, but quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Shen Changan was leaving, Ye Qinglan didn't mind at all, and was even very cold. Obviously, Ye Qinglan didn't really like Shen Changan...
It's strange. Ye Qinglan has nothing to do with how Shen Changan has anything to do with him. Why does he always struggle with this issue?
Gu Xinian frowned slightly, quickly put away these chaotic thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I should go." After saying that, he stood up.
Great, I finally have to leave.
Ye Qinglan's eyes lit up, she stood up and said goodbye with a smile, and said a polite word by the way: "If Cousin Gu is free, you might as well come and see Cousin Xiyu often in the future." He is now the Minister of Household Affairs, and he must be busy with official duties, so where can he go? Come to Changyuan Bofu when you have time!
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, looked at Ye Qinglan's bright smile, and responded slowly: "That's natural."
