If it were in the past, Ye Qingfu would have thought that Xue Yushu was peeking at Ye Qinglan, and then she would feel sour. But now her mentality has changed, and looking at Xue Yushu's actions, she just felt that Xue Yushu was peeking at her, and she felt sweet in her heart.
of.
Ye Qinglan saw all the changes in Ye Qingfu's expression and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
She had already guessed exactly what Ye Yuanzhou was planning, and quickly came up with a strategy to deal with it. As long as Xue Yushu and Ye Qingfu could be paired together, all the problems would be easily solved.
Young people's feelings are passionate and fickle. Even though Xue Yushu is thinking about her now, as long as Ye Qingfu's "offensive" is stronger, she will definitely be able to "win" him soon.
A man pursues a woman across the divider, and a woman pursues a man across the divider. This wise saying is applicable at all times.
Xue Yushu has a good temper and values love, and he and Ye Qingfu have grown up together since childhood. Even if there is no love between men and women in this relationship, at least he has some feelings for Ye Qingfu. So he is not cruel at all.
You can't turn away people even if you don't mean to say anything unpleasant. As long as you make good use of them, these are all advantages...
Ye Qinglan kept running through various thoughts in her mind, and deliberately whispered into Ye Qingfu's ear: "Second sister, cousin, please don't let me down. When we get to the bookstore later, you can stay with me more."
Stay with him."
Of course! Ye Qingfu glanced at Xue Yushu shyly, and then nodded.
Xue Yushu did not hear the whispers of the two girls clearly. He only vaguely heard the word cousin, and was secretly happy. Ye Yuanzhou's idea was indeed a good one. Going out of the house can be more coaxing than buying gifts.
Girls are happy...
Ye Yuanzhou's mood was very complicated.
It was indeed his idea to leave the house. He originally wanted to create an opportunity for Xue Yushu and Ye Qinglan to be alone. But no matter how generous he thought before, when he actually took action, he realized how painful it was...
Xue Yushu didn't know anything about his dark heart, so he came over enthusiastically and asked: "Cousin, how far is the bookshop you mentioned?"
Ye Yuanzhou composed himself, lifted the car curtain and took a look outside: "We should be there in two more streets."
The sounds outside the carriage gradually became noisy, and the speed became slower and slower.
Ye Qingfu quietly lifted the curtain and looked outside, and Ye Qinglan also took the opportunity to take a few glances. Unfortunately, the gap was small and far away, so basically nothing could be seen clearly. Fortunately, the book store arrived soon!
The carriage stopped steadily. Ye Yuanzhou and Xue Yushu got off the carriage first. Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingfu put on their curtain hats and got out of the carriage with the help of the maids.
As soon as she stood still, Ye Qingfu exclaimed: "It's so lively!"
Ye Yuanzhou smiled and said: "Of course, this is one of the busiest streets in the capital. There are not only the most famous bookstores, but also several famous restaurants and teahouses. I promised my father that I must go back before lunch. Today is
I can’t take you to see a restaurant. However, I can take you to a teahouse to sit for a while.”
Ye Qingfu nodded excitedly.
It was also the first time for Ye Qinglan to witness the bustling streets of ancient times, and her eyes were almost exhausted.
The spacious streets are very clean, and there are people of all ages and genders on the road. Exquisite sedans and luxurious carriages are not uncommon. Occasionally, a nobleman riding a horse passes by. On both sides of the street are various shops, restaurants and teahouses.
Sure enough, there are all there, including a cloth shop, an iron shop, a makeup shop, a dessert shop, etc. The waiter standing in front of the shop and shouting has a loud and enthusiastic voice.
The picture in my imagination appeared so vividly in front of my eyes. It was so fresh and vivid, and even the air was filled with a pleasant smell.
Through the curtain and hat, you can still see Ye Qinglan's shining eyes.
She really liked it... Ye Yuanzhou's mood suddenly improved, and he said with a gentle smile: "Let's go to the bookstore first, and then go to the teahouse later."
Ye Qinglan reluctantly withdrew her gaze and followed Ye Yuanzhou and others into the bookstore.
The bookstores at this time were very different from the bookstores of later generations. Most of the books sold were old books, not many new ones. They were placed on high shelves and no one was allowed to browse them casually.
"The most famous bookstore in the capital" as Ye Yuanzhou calls it. The scale is actually not too big. It is at most the size of an ordinary bookstore in later generations. Several rows of bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books. The most annoying thing is that there are no categories. I want to find it.
I can only read the books one by one slowly.
However, it is well worth the price to get a glimpse of the ancient bookshop.
The owner of the book store is a man in his fifties. He is not tall and has half-white hair. He is sitting at the door with his eyes squinted and concentrating on reading the books in his hands. He pays no attention to the four young men and women who entered the book store.
Q. Not to mention a warm greeting, I didn't even look at it. I said without raising my head: "Please don't browse casually. If you like it, you can buy it back and read it slowly."
Ye Qingfu couldn't help but muttered: "The boss of this bookstore is really very impressive."
Ye Yuanzhou didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "The books here are the most complete. I have been here several times with my classmates. However, if you want to find a book, you have to be patient. Second sister, what do you like?
I'll take you to read the book." As he said this, he winked at Xue Yushu.
Xue Yushu immediately understood the spirit and looked at Ye Qinglan attentively. Unfortunately, before he opened his mouth to speak, Ye Qinglan took Ye Qingfu's hand with a smile: "Second sister, let's go over there and take a look.
.”
Strangely enough, Ye Qingfu, who had always been at odds with Ye Qinglan, was surprisingly good-tempered today and actually nodded in agreement.
Ye Yuanzhou and Xue Yushu watched helplessly as the two girls walked to a bookshelf while talking and laughing.
Xue Yushu couldn't help scratching his head and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, haven't cousin Fu and cousin Lan always been at odds?" Why are you so uncharacteristically close today?
Ye Yuanzhou didn't understand the reason for a while, and responded in a low voice: "It's a rare occasion, so let's pick out the books first. After buying the books later, we will go to the teahouse. It will be much easier to talk then."
Xue Yushu nodded.
Ye Qingfu was not very interested in the book, and she and Ye Qinglan read it casually for a while, and then got tired of it. But Ye Qinglan read it with gusto.
There are many ancient books, the covers are old and yellowed, and they are about to fall apart. No wonder the bookstore owner does not allow you to browse them casually.
"Which book do you like? Let me pay the bill together." Ye Qingfu said a little impatiently: "My legs are sore just standing here." Go shopping for makeup shops, jewelry shops, cloth shops and the like.
It's pretty much the same. This bookstore is really not interesting.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "I don't know what books my eldest brother and cousin have chosen. It's better for my second sister to go to their place and have a look."
Sure enough, Ye Qingfu agreed immediately. After she left, Ye Qinglan's ears became much clearer, and she focused on picking up the book. It was a rare occasion. Someone was taking advantage of her again, and if you don't buy it, you won't buy it.
After choosing four books, Ye Qinglan was still not satisfied. She changed the bookshelf and picked two books such as miscellaneous travel notes. As she was concentrating on picking books, Ye Yuanzhou's voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Sanmei, your book
Have you chosen?"
At some point, Ye Yuanzhou came behind her and leaned slightly to talk to her. This distance was a bit close, but even Ruomei didn't think there was anything wrong. It's normal for siblings to be close to each other.
Ye Qinglan frowned and took two steps back calmly. He distanced himself and said, "I've already picked it up. Please pay the bill, brother."
Ye Yuanzhou's eyes were full of gentle smiles: "It's a rare occasion. Why don't you choose more?"
Ye Qinglan smiled lightly and said: "I have picked six books, which is enough." He casually gave all the books in his hand to Ruomei, and then walked to Ye Qingfu and Xue Yushu as if nothing had happened.
Ye Yuanzhou's eyes darkened for a moment, then he smiled nonchalantly and went to pay the bill.
Everyone selected a dozen books in total and paid a total of more than thirty taels of silver. The price was indeed quite high. Ye Yuanzhou obviously came well prepared and had enough silver taels with him.
After paying the bill, a servant moved all the books to the carriage and put them away.
It was still early, so the next stop was of course the teahouse.
"There is a very famous teahouse nearby. The refreshments are well made, and the tea is also very fragrant." Ye Yuanzhou smiled and said: "It only takes a few steps. If you think it's too long to walk, we will take a carriage there..."
"No, let's just walk over there! We can also visit the rouge shop or the cloth shop." Then, he glanced at Xue Yushu shyly: "Cousin, don't you want to buy a gift for me?"
Xue Yushu: "..."
Ye Yuanzhou: "..."
Ye Qinglan reacted the fastest. She immediately pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I just want to have a casual stroll, let's go there together." As he said this, he pulled Ye Qingfu out.
Xue Yushu's stiff expression finally relaxed a little, and he glanced at Ye Yuanzhou sadly. If he had known this, he really shouldn't have brought Ye Qingfu out with him today.
Ye Yuanzhou couldn't help but sigh and said in a low voice: "If I don't bring my second sister with me, I'm afraid my father won't be able to justify it." Then he patted Xue Yushu on the shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay to go shopping and buy two gifts.
, since the second sister has accepted it, the third sister will naturally accept it as well."
Xue Yushu had no choice but to smile and nodded. He bit the bullet and followed with Ye Yuanzhou.
Ye Qingfu and Ye Qinglan walked in front, whispering in a low voice: "Third sister, did I say something wrong just now? Why does my cousin look so strange?"
Ye Qinglan suppressed laughter and said seriously: "He was too surprised and didn't react for a moment. In fact, he must be very happy in his heart. If you don't believe it, you will know if you try it later."
"How to try?" Ye Qingfu humbly asked for advice.
Ye Qinglan curled her lips and whispered: "It's very simple. If you like something, just ask your cousin to buy it for you. If he is willing, it naturally means that he likes you wholeheartedly."

By the way, I recommend Duanmu Jingchen's new book "The Spring Boudoir" by my friend 15. Gu Jinzhi was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, married into a wealthy family, and finished her life with endless glory and exhaustion. When she found out that she was not dead, but
When she became an ancient noble lady, boredom came to her mind. When she saw a man who looked exactly like her previous husband again, she curled her lips. Only then did ripples appear in the calm lake of life...
