Us? Cui Wan's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively: "Does Qingning want to go, or do you want to go?"
Cui Wan is a smart person, and it is impossible to hide some things from her. Instead of being evasive and making people suspicious, it is better to tell the truth. Therefore, Ye Qinglan did not hide it: "It's cousin Xiyu who is going."
Cui Wan was stunned and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Although she still hadn't figured out what was going on, her intuition told her that what she was going to hear next would definitely surprise her.
As expected, after Ye Qinglan quickly explained the matter, Cui Wan's face could no longer be described as shocked: "You, you are not kidding me!"
A girl who has not left the court meets a man in private...Does Gu Xiyu know what she is going to do? Even if she is ignorant, Ye Qinglan should know the meaning behind it! If someone notices...
God, she couldn't even imagine it!
As soon as Ye Qinglan saw Cui Wan's face, he knew what she was thinking. He smiled and comforted her: "Don't panic. In fact, this matter is not as complicated and scary as you think. Because Shen Changan is about to leave the capital, so I want to Before I leave, I can only meet Cousin Xiyu for a few words at most. When the time comes, I will definitely accompany Cousin Xiyu to see him and will not let the two of them be alone together." She was worried. Let Shen Changan see Gu Xiyu alone!
When Cui Wan heard this, her face finally looked better.
Cui Wan is a typical ancient woman with a very conservative and reserved temperament. Such a private meeting is already considered a deviant act in her eyes. If she knew that she had helped Ye Qingning meet Gu Xinian in private, she would be frightened!
Ye Qinglan thought secretly in her heart and continued: "Shen Changan met cousin Xiyu once in the palace and fell in love with her at first sight. The queen also wanted to arrange a match for the two of them. However, aunt and cousin Gu refused. Agree to this marriage."
Although it was just a few words, it was enough for Cui Wan to understand the fate between Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu.
"Have you ever thought about it, it would be bad if others knew about this." Cui Wan frowned: "If Xiyu's reputation is damaged, there is no guarantee that the Dingguo Palace will not blame you for this. On the head..."
For Ye Qinglan, this is simply a thankless chore. To put it bluntly, it won't benefit her at all, and she has to take such risks. It's really not worth it.
Seeing Cui Wan thinking about herself, Ye Qinglan felt warm in her heart: "Sister-in-law, I have thought about these concerns. I also know that there are some risks in this matter. However, if cousin Xiyu can think clearly about her feelings for Shen Changan, risk The risks are worth it. Maybe a good relationship will come true."
After a pause, he added: "I know this has put my cousin-in-law in a difficult situation. But without her help, it would have been difficult for us to get out of the house. So, I had no choice but to shamelessly ask my cousin-in-law for help. "
Cui Wan was silent for a moment and finally made up her mind: "Okay, how can I help?"
Ye Qinglan felt happy when she saw that Cui Wan had been moved by her words. She quickly whispered a few words in her ear. Cui Wan listened attentively.
Ye Qinglan's plan is actually not complicated. All he needs to do is find an excuse to leave the house and go to Ciyun Temple. The most important point is not to make Mrs. Zheng suspicious and to take Gu Xiyu out of the house safely. Whether this can be done depends on it. Cui Wan's.
Cui Wan thought for a moment and already had an idea.
That night, Cui Wan begged softly in front of Ye Yuanwei: "My husband, I want to go to Ciyun Temple to burn incense and pray for Sister Qiao. If my husband is free, how about you go with me the day after tomorrow?"
Since the two reconciled, Ye Yuanwei has been very considerate and gentle towards Cui Wan. Hearing this, he immediately nodded in agreement: "I happen to be free the day after tomorrow, so I'll go with you. I just want to go out and relax."
Cui Wan pursed her lips and smiled. She said casually: "Why don't we ask Qingning and the others to go together? It will be more lively."
Ye Yuanwei did not doubt that he was there and nodded with a smile.
Ye Yuanwei mentioned this matter when he went to pay his respects to Mr. Zheng the next morning.
When Mrs. Zheng heard that she was praying for Sister Qiao, she naturally would not stop her and agreed with a smile. Then, she naturally remembered that Ye Qingning complained in front of her yesterday about how boring it was to stay in the house every day, and her heart moved slightly, and she said smoothly:
"Let Ning'er go with you! It's just a good time to go out and get some fresh air."
Cui Wan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so she responded with a smile. She exchanged a tacit look with Ye Qinglan.
When Ye Qingning saw that the plan was mostly successful, he was extremely happy. He smiled and walked forward to act coquettishly: "Mom is the best to me."
Mrs. Zheng scolded: "You are such a big person, but you still act like a child all day long, and you are not ashamed." Even though he said this, his face was full of smiles.
Ye Qingning immediately hit the snake and followed it with the stick: "It's not interesting for me to follow alone. Let's just let Shi Mei and cousin Xiyu go together. There are more people and it will be more lively."
When Gu Xiyu was mentioned, Mrs. Zheng was not so easy to talk to. She frowned and said, "You and Sister Lan can just go. Xiyu loves Jing, so it's better not to join in the fun." In case something happens at that time.
If something went wrong, she couldn't explain it to her sister.
Ye Qingning said hurriedly: "We have all left. It will be boring for cousin Xiyu to stay alone in the house. Let her go with us! I will definitely take good care of her."
Ye Qinglan also smiled and echoed: "Yes, Sixth Sister and I will definitely take good care of Cousin Xiyu. Just don't worry, eldest aunt." After a pause, she added: "Even if eldest aunt is not worried about us, how can we still do it?"
Are you worried about your cousins?"
Cui Wan immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I will take good care of them."
Even her daughter-in-law, who had always been calm and attentive, spoke up, and Mrs. Zheng was relieved. She couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyu: "Xiyu, do you want to follow?"
Gu Xiyu nodded, her eyes flashing with anticipation and joy.
Before coming this morning, Ye Qinglan specially told her not to talk nonsense when meeting Mrs. Zheng. They were responsible for everything, and she just had to keep silent. Even this expression was specially practiced in front of the mirror.
Zheng was really moved and finally nodded in agreement.
Gu Xiyu smiled, and Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning quickly exchanged knowing glances, feeling excited in their hearts. Great, the first step was finally successful!
It is indeed a complicated matter for women to travel. Incense and candles must be prepared in advance, and someone must be sent to Ciyun Temple to say hello first. Cui Wan has to worry about these trivial matters. The girls have nothing important to worry about.
As long as you dress up nicely and get ready to go, that's fine.
As for what to do when we arrive at Ciyun Temple tomorrow, we don't need to consider this issue for the time being. Since Shen Changan has sent a letter, he will naturally wait in Ciyun Temple and act according to the opportunity.
In the afternoon, small branches appeared again.
In the side hall of Qinfang Garden, Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan were doing needlework with their heads down. Gu Xiyu was sitting aside, bored, so she also started learning. Beginners would inevitably have the embarrassment of pricking their fingers with the embroidery needle, but Gu Xiyu was very patient.
He is neither impatient nor impatient, and he quickly learned simple acupuncture techniques.
Ye Qinglan was hit hard. Ye Qingning had some foundation in female celebrities, so it was just that he learned it faster than himself. It was obviously the first time for Gu Xiyu to pick up needlework, so why did she learn it so quickly?
However, Gu Xiyu looked over with innocent and pure eyes, begging for praise.
Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to vomit blood and praised Gu Xiyu with a smile. Gu Xiyu smiled happily, but Ye Qinglan was extremely depressed, lowered her head and continued to fight.
Cui Jing obviously already knew that everyone was going to Ciyun Temple tomorrow. She looked at Cui Wan repeatedly and hesitated to speak.
Cui Wan quickly noticed Cui Jing's gaze and smiled gently: "Mother Jing, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Cui Jing hesitated for a moment, then murmured: "I heard that the young mistress and young master are going to Ciyun Temple tomorrow to burn incense and pray for Sister Qiao. I want to go with you to ask for a peace charm for the child in my belly..."
Cui Wan smiled. Normally, she would not refuse such a request. However, this trip had another purpose. The fewer people waiting around, the better.
Ye Qinglan was also startled and raised her eyes to look at Cui Wan. Cui Jing usually looked honest, but if she noticed something and had other thoughts, it would be bad...
The two looked at each other and soon understood what each other was thinking.
Cui Wan thought for a while and then said to Cui Jing: "Mother Jing, you are pregnant and it is not suitable to ride in a sedan chair. Moreover, there are many people in Ciyun Temple, so it will be bad if you are frightened. You'd better not go.
Come on!"
The light in Cui Jing's eyes suddenly dimmed, she forced a smile and nodded dryly.
Cui Wan sighed secretly in her heart, but her expression was very gentle: "I'll go tomorrow and ask for the Peace Talisman to come back for you, okay?"
Speaking of this, Cui Jing naturally understood that Cui Wan would not take her out of the house anyway, so she had no choice but to respond with a smile. A trace of sadness and loss flashed through her heart.
Cui Wan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Cui Jing's appearance. Cui Jing had been here for several months and had never had a chance to leave the house. If she missed this time, she would become bulky and give birth again in the future, and she would not have the chance to go out.
No wonder Cui Jing would take the initiative to beg.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Cui Jing asked for something, but was rejected so directly. She had difficulties, but Cui Jing didn't know. I don't know if Cui Jing had any complaints in her heart...
No matter what Cui Jing thinks, in short, it is impossible for her to go with him on this trip.
Early the next morning, Qinfang Garden became lively. Ye Qingning, Ye Qinglan, Gu Xiyu came here early, plus Ye Yuanwei, Cui Wan and his wife, and Sister Qiao, there were six masters alone. In addition, each brought their own children
There are quite a lot of maids, women, and servants.
Ye Yuanwei rode on horseback, while Cui Wan and others took their own sedans. The maids and women stood on both sides of the sedan, and the servants followed closely behind. The group set out for Ciyun Temple at Chenshi. (To be continued. If you like this work
