Gu Yongnian naturally knew what this fox friend was thinking, so he laughed and scolded: "Get out of here. My cousin has been timid since she was a child and is afraid of strangers. If she is scared by you, my uncle and aunt will not scold me."
A meal is a strange thing."
What he didn't say was that his cousin Gu Xinian was ten times more terrifying than his uncle and aunt combined. He didn't want to make Gu Xinian unhappy.
Xie Peng said with a smile: "I'll just say hello from a distance and promise not to scare your delicate cousin. That's all right!"
When Gu Yongnian was hesitating, Xie Peng came over and whispered: "Brother Gu, as long as you take me to see Miss Gu, how about I give you the oriole I raised?"
Gu Yongnian's eyes lit up: "Really?" The oriole raised by Xie Peng was a very rare species, and its cries were very melodious. He had been coveting it for a long time.
Xie Peng laughed softly and said: "Of course it's true. Once a word is spoken, it's hard to follow it!"
Gu Yongnian was immediately moved and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to say, my cousin is withdrawn by nature and never wants to see outsiders. You can only take a look at her from a distance later. Don't get close to her. If you are scared,
If she kills her, I will definitely be miserable."
Xie Peng felt happy and hurriedly patted his chest to confirm: "Don't worry, I promise I won't scare her."
When Mo Xiang heard these words of conversation, she was immediately angry and annoyed. Without thinking, she stopped the two people and said in a slightly harsh tone: "Master, you know the temper of the young lady. If there are outsiders, she will definitely be frightened.
…”
"Does this young master need you to teach me how to do things?" Gu Yongnian suddenly darkened his face and glared at Mo Xiang: "Get out of my way."
Mo Xiang has served Gu Xiyu for many years. She is a respectable maid in the house, and she is somewhat decent in front of her master. Being scolded by Gu Yongnian like this is not to mention aggrieved. But no matter how wronged or uncomfortable, she cannot back down at this time. Mo Xiang
Gritting his teeth, instead of retreating, he knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die. Please punish me, Master."
Although his words were tactful and his actions were humble, he actually stopped Gu Yongnian and Xie Peng from letting them pass.
Xie Peng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, the maids in your house are really clever and brave! How dare you stop the master from passing by? If it were in my house, such a maid would have been dragged out to get the board.
"
Gu Yongnian was the most face-saving person. Being squeezed like this, he became even more angry. He glared at Mo Xiang and said, "Get out of the way. If you dare to stop me, you will be punished for thirty times!"
Mo Xiang's tears were welling up in her eyes, but she still refused to let go. Even if they were beaten hard today, they would not let the two of them disturb the young lady. Especially the man named Xie, who was smooth-tongued and could tell nothing at first glance.
Good thing. Never let such a person scare the lady...
Gu Yongnian said he was mean, but he couldn't do anything truly evil. Mo Xiang was Gu Xiyu's personal maid, and if he didn't do anything wrong, her aunt would not let him go.
And cousin...
When he thought of Gu Xinian, Gu Yongnian couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly began to regret today's reckless move. It's really not worth taking this risk for an oriole! But now it's hard to ride a tiger, Xie Peng has made it clear what is right and what is wrong.
He had to take a look at Gu Xiyu. He also promised Xie Peng first. If he couldn't do this today, how could he hold his head high in front of friends... no, in front of a bunch of good friends?
At the height of the stalemate, a girl's voice suddenly sounded: "Mo Xiang, what happened?" This voice was sweet and sweet, and very calm and gentle, like a gurgling stream, which was indescribable to the ears.
Comfortable.
Gu Yongnian and Xie Peng were both moved in their hearts, and they both raised their heads and looked over.
Not far away, two girls walked side by side. The two girls were about the same height, and both were slim and graceful. One of them was dressed in white, with a complexion as fair and flawless as jade, and her eyes were like paint, and they were as deep as a pool.
The quiet spring water is extremely clear, but bottomless. It is so delicate and beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Another girl in pink clothes has beautiful facial features, a leisurely expression, and two shallow pear dimples on her cheeks. As her eyes move, she exudes a comforting gentleness and calmness. Although she is not as stunningly beautiful as the girl in white clothes, she has
A unique charm and temperament. It was this girl in pink who spoke just now.
The two girls came slowly and unhurriedly, like a still painting. They were so beautiful that people didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing the people in the painting.
Gu Yongnian was better. After all, he often saw Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan a few times, so he wasn't too rude. Xie Peng couldn't do it. He stared at the two girls without blinking. The boss opened his mouth so much that he felt uncomfortable.
Know.
Of these two girls, who is Gu Xiyu?
Seeing Mo Xiang kneeling on the ground, Gu Xiyu felt very unhappy and said, "Mo Xiang, what are you doing kneeling down? Get up quickly."
Mo Xiang didn't expect Gu Xiyu to come out on her own initiative. It was impossible to stop her now, so she had no choice but to respond, quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves, and stood aside.
Xie Peng's eyes immediately fell on Gu Xiyu. Hearing about it is better than seeing it. Miss Gu is indeed very beautiful... It's strange. He is usually very articulate, and he often makes fun of beautiful girls when he sees them.
But for some reason, facing Gu Xiyu, I couldn't show even 10% of my usual intelligence today. I could only stare at her blankly, my heart beating wildly...
Gu Xiyu glanced at the lost Xie Peng with some disgust. Then she looked away and looked at Gu Yongnian: "Seventh cousin, what did Mo Xiang do wrong just now? Why did you punish her to kneel?"
Gu Yongnian coughed and smiled slightly awkwardly: "It's nothing, she just stopped me and Brother Xie, so I said a few words to her. In the end, she knelt down to apologize. It was all a misunderstanding!"
Gu Xiyu was simple by nature, but very protective of her shortcomings. She was very unhappy after hearing this, and said with a sullen face: "If Mo Xiang makes a mistake, my cousin will tell me and I will deal with her."
Gu Yongnian immediately laughed: "What my cousin said is that it was my fault this time, and I will never do it again in the future."
Xie Peng finally came to his senses, quietly pulled Gu Yongnian's sleeve from behind, and winked at him again. Why don't you introduce me to Miss Gu quickly?
Gu Yongnian composed himself and said with a smile: "Cousin, the man next to me is named Xie Peng. He is the son of Mr. Xie, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He and I are good friends."
Xie Peng hurriedly put on the gentlest and kindest smile in his life: "I have met Sister Gu. If Sister Gu doesn't dislike it, just call me Brother Xie."
...The sound of "Sister Gu" made Ye Qinglan couldn't help but feel happy again. When Shen Changan first met Gu Xiyu, he recklessly called her "Sister Gu". Gu Xiyu was frightened at the time and hid behind her.
Dare to look up.
But now, Gu Xiyu showed no reaction and didn't even raise her head.
Xie Peng looked at that stunningly beautiful face, feeling as if there were a hundred claws scratching her heart. He didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I heard that Sister Gu was painting just now. I wonder if I am lucky enough to appreciate it." Are you going to take care of your sister’s paintings?”
Gu Xiyu said to Mo Xiang: "Go and clean up the painting desk, I don't want to stay here anymore."
Xie Peng: "..."
Ye Qinglan almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. Gu Xiyu is indeed different from what she used to be. When she met Shen Chang'an that day, she was teased a few times and was so frightened that she cried and ran away. But now, look at Xie Peng's behavior... You can tell the effect by the look on his face.
Seeing Xie Peng being so embarrassed, Gu Yongnian couldn't bear it. He coughed and tried to smooth things over: "My cousin, haven't you finished painting yet? Why are you packing up your painting desk so early? You continue to paint. Brother Xie and I will stay nearby for a while." Won’t bother you.”
Xie Peng glanced at Gu Yongnian with tears in his eyes. He was indeed a good brother! Not to mention an oriole, he was willing to give away his most cherished thrush.
"Cousin, do you plan to come to enjoy the scenery of the pond?" Gu Xiyu's voice was completely different from Ye Qinglan's. Ye Qinglan's voice was sweet and sweet, like the spring breeze blowing through one's ears. Gu Xiyu's voice was a little deep, not clear at all. , but it doesn’t have an attractive magic power.
A hundred times better than the voices of oriole and thrush combined! Xie Peng thought blankly.
Gu Yongnian smiled and said: "Yes, I originally planned to come with Brother Xie to enjoy the scenery of the pond, but I didn't expect to meet you and Cousin Lan here by such a coincidence. You don't have to leave in a hurry, we two won't disturb you."
Xie Peng finally found a chance to speak and nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, I promise not to say a word more, and I will never disturb Sister Gu's enjoyment of painting."
Gu Xiyu finally raised her head and glanced at Xie Peng.
Those deep and beautiful eyes made people have the urge to drown in them and never wake up. Xie Peng's whole body was so light that he could hardly find the east, west, east, and west. Just when he was about to open his mouth to say something else, he heard Gu Xiyu spit out a few words coldly. One word: "While you are standing there, I have no interest in painting anymore."
Xie Peng: "..."
Gu Xiyu never looked at him again and whispered to Ye Qinglan: "Let's go back to Lengyue Pavilion."
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile, feeling indescribably happy in her heart. If it had been in the past, Gu Xiyu would have been so frightened that she would have cowered and hid behind her. Just like when she met Shen Changan before. But today, she didn't say much from beginning to end. After saying half a word, Gu Xiyu managed to deal with it alone.
It seems that from now on, she no longer has to worry about Gu Xiyu.
Ye Qinglan was in a very good mood, and Xiao Yingying and Gu Xiyu left together.
Mo Xiang directed the other maids to clean up the painting desks, and then bowed respectfully: "Two young masters, please enjoy the scenery here slowly, and the slaves will not disturb you."
Gu Yongnian: "..."
Xie Peng stood there blankly, watching Gu Xiyu go away in a daze. Until her figure turned a corner and completely disappeared from sight.
