It's really straightforward and easy to understand! Even if Gu Xiyu is still young, she can definitely understand the meaning of this sentence.
Ye Qinglan held back her laughter and glanced at Gu Xiyu calmly.
Gu Xiyu was obviously shocked, and she raised her head blankly and looked at Shen Chang'an. Those beautiful dark eyes were like two bottomless pools of water, and seemed to have an invisible magic power that firmly attracted them. Live in Shen Changan's whole heart.
Shen Changan looked at Gu Xiyu blankly, and the words deep in his heart poured out: "I have liked you since the first time I saw you. I will never marry anyone but you in this life. I know that your family will not You like me, especially your eldest brother, but he despises me. But I really like you and want to be good to you."
These words were unadorned, very warm and direct, and they were indeed Shen Changan's style. Any girl would probably not remain indifferent after hearing such a sincere and earnest confession!
Gu Xiyu stared blankly at Shen Changan's eager eyes, but said nothing.
Shen Changan mustered up the courage and said what was on his mind: "I went to Dingguo Palace every day, but it was you who I wanted to see. I wanted to show sincerity to impress your family, but I didn't expect that it would have the opposite effect. , they wouldn’t even let me in. I had to beg my father to ask the Queen to be the matchmaker and grant me a marriage. The Queen clearly meant to grant me a marriage before, but for some reason, her attitude suddenly changed again. , saying that you are still young and will wait a few years before considering marriage. In two days, I will receive the task of going to Shandong to suppress bandits..."
When Ye Qinglan heard this, her heart moved quietly.
The sudden change in Empress Gu's attitude. Gu Xinian suddenly entered the court as an official... Looking at these two events together, it is not difficult to deduce the truth of the matter.
With the tacit consent of Queen Gu and Duke Dingguo and his wife, and Shen Changan's persistent persistence, Gu Xinian could not reverse his disadvantage by relying on his own strength alone, so he had to go to Queen Gu to "negotiate" in person: he could become an official in the court. , but Empress Gu could no longer play Gu Xiyu’s mind. After weighing it up, Empress Gu finally agreed to Gu Xinian’s conditions. So her attitude suddenly changed. When Shen Changan was sent to Shandong to suppress bandits, Empress Gu must also be behind it. ”.
I have to say that Gu Xinian really cares about his sister Gu Xiyu. However, Gu Xinian probably never thought that Gu Xiyu actually had a good impression of Shen Changan...
"The people in Shandong are fierce and there are many bandits. The largest group of bandits has hundreds of people, and they are hiding in the mountains and their whereabouts are unpredictable. The emperor ordered me to lead a thousand soldiers to Shandong to wipe out all the bandits. I will come back clean and tidy. Preliminary estimate is that it will take about a year. Maybe it will be longer." A trace of sadness flashed across Shen Changan's face, then he cheered up and said with a smile: "But don't worry. I will definitely come back as soon as possible. When I wipe out all the gangsters and return to the court with meritorious service, the emperor will definitely give me a reward. At that time, I don’t want anything, I just ask the emperor to grant me a marriage. I will definitely make your family happy. See my sincerity!"
The last sentence is full of confidence, striking and moving.
It seems that Shen Changan is not stupid. He already knows that his assignment to suppress bandits was Gu Xinian's manipulation. If he didn't want to go, he could have asked his father, Shen Ming, to intercede for him. But he didn't do that. Instead, he responded to the matter. The future brother-in-law's deliberate attempt to make things difficult was a test for him. As long as he passed this test, Gu Xinian's attitude should be softened!
Sure enough, Shen Changan still didn't understand Gu Xinian!
Even if he returns safely after performing meritorious service, Gu Xinian will never agree to Gu Xiyu's marriage. Moreover, having a year as a buffer is enough for Gu Xinian to do a lot of things. As long as he can gain a firm foothold in the court, he can do a lot of things. Gu Xinian's big heart was more than enough to deal with the outspoken and impulsive Shen Chang'an.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu still said nothing, but there were some subtle changes in her expression, and her eyes were no longer calm.
Shen Changan had been staring closely at Gu Xiyu, and naturally noticed Gu Xiyu's subtle reaction, and felt an uncontrollable excitement and joy in his heart. His eyes lingered on Gu Xiyu's pretty face: "I'm leaving tomorrow, you Is there anything you want to say to me?" His tone was full of expectation.
Gu Xiyu thought seriously for a moment, and finally said: "When you encounter a bad guy that you can't beat, remember to run quickly."
…
Ye Qinglan couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter. Shen Chang'an also didn't expect that Gu Xiyu would suddenly say such a thing, and was stunned on the spot. But when he smacked the words carefully, he became happy again.
She warned him like this, obviously worried about his safety.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safe and sound." Shen Changan was in high spirits and his handsome face lit up: "You don't have to worry about me every day, as long as you don't forget me."
Gu Xiyu answered honestly: "My memory is not very good, I may forget you soon."
...Shen Changan's smile was a little stiff, and upon closer inspection, it was a little distorted: "Then you'd better think about me more every day."
…
Ye Qinglan couldn't help it anymore and kept laughing. The conversation between these two people was so funny!
When she smiled like this, Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu could no longer continue their strange conversation. They looked at each other and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so they both looked away.
Ye Qinglan took in all this scene, and the corners of her lips could not help but curl up slightly. It seemed that accompanying Gu Xiyu to see Shen Changan today was the right decision. The seed of love in Gu Xiyu's heart was slowly awakening and sprouting. Photo If this continues, Gu Xiyu will grow up one day and, like all girls, fall in love with a man.
At that time, even if Gu Xinian doesn't like Shen Changan anymore, he will give in for his only sister...
"Cousin Xiyu, we have been out for a long time, it's time to go back." Ye Qinglan stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.
Gu Xiyu hummed, raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Changan: "I'm leaving."
Shen Changan's eyes were full of reluctance, and his voice became softer unconsciously: "You must take good care of yourself. If I am free in the future, I will send someone to deliver a letter to you..."
Ye Qinglan coughed and interrupted Shen Changan's wishful thinking: "Mr. Shen, there is no need to deliver the letter! Even if you deliver the letter to Dingguo Duke's Mansion, cousin Xiyu probably won't be able to see it." With Gu Xinian and Mrs. Zheng here, the letter It is impossible for it to fall into Gu Xiyu's hands.
Shen Changan smiled bitterly, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he came up with a brilliant idea: "Then I will have someone deliver the letter to Uncle Changyuan's Mansion, and then I will ask you to deliver it to Sister Gu for me."
Compared with Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the guards at Changyuan Bo's Mansion are much looser. Besides, with Ye Qinglan passing the message through, it won't attract Gu Xinian's attention. The more Shen Changan thought about it, the more he thought this method was good. With a smile on his face he said: "There is Miss Lao Ye Shi."
Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said angrily: "It's not that I don't want to help, but I really can't help with this. I am also a young girl who has not left the court. I always receive letters from men. Can others not be suspicious?"
Shen Changan immediately said: "I have several guards with excellent martial arts, and they are best at climbing over walls. Then I will quietly put the letter in Hefeng Courtyard at night..."
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glare at him: "Please wake up and don't get carried away! It's okay to send letters once or twice, but if you do it more often, it's inevitable that you won't be carried away. People find out. If it is really discovered by then, I will lose my reputation as a best friend. By then, you can stop thinking about marrying cousin Xiyu and just wait until you marry me home."
Shen Changan's expression changed and he blurted out: "How can that be done? I will never marry unless I care about my sister in my life. Don't have any thoughts, I will not marry you."
…
The corners of Ye Qinglan's lips twitched a few times, and she responded with a smile: "I was just making a metaphor, don't get me wrong."
Shen Changan breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice: "It's okay if you don't have such thoughts."
Why is this topic getting further and further away?! Ye Qinglan didn't have the intention to say any more, and quickly said: "In short, don't worry about delivering the letter. You should concentrate on suppressing the bandits!" His little thoughts It showed on his face. Wasn't he just worried that Gu Xiyu would forget him, so he wanted to send the letter back? Men who fall in love have really low IQs - of course, Shen Changan's original IQ wasn't that high either. .
Shen Changan reluctantly agreed.
Ye Qinglan took Gu Xiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go!" Gu Xiyu hummed, couldn't help but glance at Shen Changan, and then quickly lowered her eyelids. Her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and her face also Somewhat feverish.
The moment the two of them turned around, there was a knock on the door.
The expressions of the three people in the room all changed. Especially Gu Xiyu, whose pretty face turned pale suddenly, and glanced at Ye Qinglan in confusion. What should I do? What if someone else finds out?
Ye Qinglan was still calm. She held Gu Xiyu's hand tightly and gave Gu Xiyu a comforting look. But she didn't say anything. The door panel was not too thick. If she pressed it against the door and heard a woman's voice inside, wouldn't it be even worse? Making you suspicious?
Shen Changan reacted quickly and immediately rushed to the door, blocking the door of the meditation room with his hand: "Who is it?" His tone was cold and filled with murderous intent.
The person who knocked on the door was also startled. He stammered and said: "The abbot asked the young monk to come and ask if Mr. Shen stayed for lunch and had a vegetarian meal before leaving." It turned out to be a young novice monk.
Shen Changan responded in a deep voice: "No need, I will stay in the meditation room for a while and then leave on my own. Please step back first." His tone was crisp and decisive, with a bit of majesty. The little novice monk was immediately shocked. Not daring to say anything more, he responded obediently and left.
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
