In the evening, Xie Peng finally sobered up a little. His face was pale and green, he had a headache that was about to split open, his throat hurt as if it was on fire, and he couldn't even stand. He was helped by someone to get on the carriage and go back.
Xie Mansion.
After that, Xie Peng didn't show up for several days. It was said that he slept for several days before he recovered, and it took half a month for his voice to grow before he could finally speak.
Gu Yongnian was not in the mood to sympathize with him. If Xie Peng hadn't been lustful and insisted on seeing Gu Xiyu, how could he have caused so many things. It made him feel a headache when he saw the birds. When the birds in the yard were finally cleared away,
After it was empty, he angrily disposed of the orioles and thrushes given by Xie Peng, and braised one in braise and the other in clear stew.
Gu Xiyu knew nothing about it. Although Ye Qinglan was aware of it, she didn't ask much. With Gu Xinian around, Xie Peng probably wouldn't dare to harass Gu Xiyu anymore.
Generally speaking, the days in Duke Dingguo's Mansion are quite leisurely. You don't have to deal with Mr.
Ye Qinglan will never admit that she is disappointed at all!
As Gu Xinian said, he is not a man who does nothing all day long and only cares about romance. On the contrary, he has a lot of official and court affairs to be busy with, as well as a group of colleagues and superiors to entertain. Occasionally, he takes time to come back for lunch.
Dinner is pretty good.
The days passed quickly, and the day when Brother Qi and Brother Lin were full moon was approaching. Ye Qinglan naturally had to rush back to Uncle Changyuan's Mansion. Although Gu Xiyu was reluctant to let go, it was not easy to persuade her to stay. She just kept telling her: "Wait for Qi."
Brother Lin, brother, come back after the full moon."
Come back... Ye Qinglan savored the word carefully and found it both funny and heartwarming. In fact, Changyuan Uncle's Mansion was her home. But in Gu Xiyu's heart, she was very dissatisfied with Xue and others, so she didn't want her to
Return to Changyuan Bofu again.
Maybe one day, she will really come to Dingguo Palace and stay forever...
This thought flashed through Ye Qinglan's mind, and there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.
Gu Xiyu originally wanted to send Ye Qinglan back to her home in person, but when Gu Xinian found out, she said calmly: "I'd rather send her back!" In Mrs. Zheng's slightly surprised look, she added: "I'm going to go just in time.
Official office, give her a ride on the way."
Gu Xiyu didn't have any special reaction and nodded obediently.
Gu Xiyu would inevitably burst into tears every time when seeing her off. Gu Xinian smiled and comforted her: "Cousin Lan will be back after staying for a few days."
... The two brothers and sister agreed on this point. They both felt that Ye Qinglan should always live in Dingguo Palace. But when these words came out of Gu Xinian's mouth, it was clearly a little more ambiguous.
Ye Qinglan only felt a faint warmth in her cheeks. She said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng calmly, and then got into the carriage. Gu Xinian got on the horse.
Along the way, Ye Qinglan was a little absent-minded. She unconsciously pricked her ears and listened to the faint sound of horse hooves outside the carriage. She felt sweet, but also indescribably sad and sour in her heart.
In fact, when they lived in Duke Dingguo's mansion, the two of them did not necessarily meet every day. Even if they did meet, there were very few opportunities to talk alone. But after all, living under the same roof, there was always a strange intimacy, even if it was in a hurry.
Just look at each other and that day will become very fulfilling.
Once you return to Changyuan Uncle's Mansion, it will be difficult to see you...
The carriage stopped, and Ye Qinglan suppressed the vague sadness in her heart. After getting off the carriage, she thanked Gu Xinian generously: "Thank you, cousin Gu, for sending me back home."
Gu Xinian looked deeply at Ye Qinglan and smiled lightly: "It's all a matter of effort. Cousin Lan doesn't have to be so polite."
They spoke insincere polite words, but their eyes seemed to be entangled by invisible threads. They were glued together for a second or two before they moved away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Xinian took a deep breath, got on his horse, resisted the urge to look back, and finally left.
Ye Qinglan withdrew her gaze, turned around and entered the house.
The first thing I did when I came back was to report to Mr. Xue. After not seeing each other for more than half a month, Ms. Xue was obviously in a much calmer mood than before. Although she didn't look good when she met Ye Qinglan, she didn't embarrass her at all.
He asked a few questions: "I've been a guest at Duke Dingguo's mansion these days. Didn't I cause any trouble?"
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully: "Reporting to my mother, my daughter has followed her mother's teachings and has always been honest and peaceful. She has not caused any trouble."
Mr. Xue inexplicably felt that there was a hint of sarcasm in these words, and her face sank slightly.
Ye Qinglan asked again with a smile: "Mom, has the marriage between the second sister and my cousin been decided?" She has not seen Xue Yushu since she came back. It is obvious that Xue Yushu has left long ago. In the past, she could stay as long as she wanted, but now
Once the marriage has been arranged, staying in Changyuan Uncle's Mansion will cause people to gossip.
When the marriage between Xue Yushu and Ye Qingfu was mentioned, Mr. Xue's originally calm mood began to become disturbed again, and she said a little impatiently: "You don't need to worry about this matter. You go back to the house and rest first."
Yes, please don’t bother your second sister."
Emotions Ye Qingfu's grounding order has not been lifted yet! It seems that Mrs. Xue was really angry this time. She cruelly locked up Ye Qingfu for so many days... This also fully shows that Xue Yushu and
Ye Qingfu's marriage is a definite matter and cannot be changed.
Ye Qinglan retired happily. In the afternoon, while Mr. Xue was going to Changhe Hall, she quietly slipped into Ye Qingfu's room.
Ye Qingfu was locked in the room every day, not to mention how bored she was. Suddenly seeing Ye Qinglan, she felt a rare sense of intimacy. She was extremely enthusiastic and took Ye Qinglan's hand: "Third sister, you
But I’m finally back.”
Ye Qinglan was not very used to such enthusiasm, but she was not in a hurry to withdraw her hand and responded with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu would like to keep me here for a little longer, but Brother Qi and Brother Lin will be full moon soon.
Here we are, as my aunt, I have to rush back." As he said this, he looked at Ye Qingfu.
Although she had been imprisoned for so many days, Ye Qingfu's face was extremely rosy and good-looking. She didn't show any signs of being grounded. It was obvious that Ye Qingfu was in a good mood after her wish came true.
Ye Qinglan smiled and joked: "Second sister must be eating well and sleeping well these days. She seems to be more energetic than before. Needless to say, this must be all due to cousin Xue."
Mentioning Xue Yushu, Ye Qingfu immediately blushed and said a little shyly: "A few days after you left, my cousin also went back."
Ye Qinglan smiled and asked: "Did uncle and aunt come to propose marriage?"
Ye Qingfu nodded shyly: "The marriage proposal that I came to propose five days ago has already been exchanged for the Geng tie." After the Geng tie is passed, the marriage is officially confirmed.
"Congratulations, second sister, you can finally be with your cousin." This congratulation is absolutely heartfelt and extremely sincere.
Ye Qingfu was also a little moved, and her eyes were a little moist: "Third sister, I used to be willful and always targeted you. At that time, I always felt that my cousin liked you, so I felt unhappy, so I always had trouble with you. In the past
It's my fault, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Before Ye Qinglan had time to express her feelings, Ye Qingfu looked at her with sympathy like a winner pitying the loser: "I know you also like my cousin, but I only have my heart in my cousin's heart. You will forget about it from now on."
Kill him!"
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Seeing her strange expression, Ye Qingfu immediately became wary again: "My cousin and I are already engaged. You should give up as soon as possible. He will never look at you again."
…
Ye Qinglan helplessly cooperated with the performance, showing an expression of envy, jealousy and a little bit of unwillingness: "Second sister, don't worry, I know my cousin only has you in his heart. I will never pester my cousin in the future.
.”
As expected, Ye Qingfu smiled proudly and responded without any magnanimity: "That's the best thing you can think of."
…
Ye Qinglan suppressed her laughter and responded seriously. To be honest, although Ye Qingfu has many shortcomings such as being impulsive and irritable, she still has her temperament. As long as she doesn't steal her cousin Xue, she is still easy to coax and get along with.
With Ye Qinglan's skills, it would be easy to deal with Ye Qingfu.
After a long conversation, Ye Qingfu regarded her as a lifelong confidant, and rambled on about what Xue Yushu had said to her before leaving: "My mother didn't let me meet and talk to my cousin.
He would secretly visit me when my mother was not in the yard. The door was locked for those days, so the two of us would talk through the door. My cousin said that he had always liked me, but he just didn’t have the courage to say it.
Exit. My cousin also said that when we two get married in the future, he will definitely be kind to me..."
Speaking of this, Ye Qingfu's eyes were filled with a happy and sweet smile.
Ye Qinglan seemed to be listening attentively, but she was secretly pleased with herself. She had indeed read Xue Yushu correctly. Ye Qingfu's feelings were strong and sincere. How could a young man who had never been in love refuse such feelings? As long as Xue Yushu put his thoughts into it.
If you use it on Ye Qingfu, you will naturally forget about her as time goes by...
"Third sister, I have to thank you for your good idea." Ye Qingfu said happily: "If you hadn't given me such a good idea, my father and mother would not have agreed to my marriage with my cousin."
Ye Qinglan coughed and reminded in a low voice: "Second sister, just keep this matter in your heart and don't mention it all the time." If someone accidentally leaks something in front of Mr. Xue, it will inevitably cause trouble again. Although it was
It’s not a big deal if you know it, but the less trouble the better!
Ye Qingfu immediately patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, only you and I know about this, and we will never let others know."
At this moment, Xue's voice sounded outside the door: "Ruixue, why are you here?"
Ruixue hurriedly responded: "The young lady is in the room, talking to the second young lady..."
