At this point, Ye Qinglan settled in Zheng Guogong's mansion.
When she was a guest at Duke Dingguo's residence, Mrs. Zheng was kind and gentle to others, and Gu Xiyu treated her like a biological sister. With Gu Xinian's secret protection, she didn't care about worldly affairs every day, and just stayed with Gu Xiyu leisurely. But here.
The Duke of Zheng's Mansion is completely different.
Ye Qingning naturally treats her wholeheartedly, but Ye Qingning is the daughter-in-law after all, so she cannot be as casual as she was before she left the cabinet. Daily morning and evening routines are indispensable. She has to take care of Zheng Junyan's daily life, and she also has to serve her parents-in-law.
A servant who was in charge of a courtyard couldn't stay with her all the time. Especially at night, Ye Qinglan was even more sensible and would leave as soon as Zheng Junyan came back.
If compared, life now is like being a real guest. You have to be careful in everything you say and do, lest you cause trouble to the host. The biggest gain is that you have gradually become familiar with Zheng Min.
Zheng Min was honest and honest by nature, and she was not defensive about Ye Qinglan. She basically said whatever she asked. Ye Qinglan soon understood Zheng Min's temperament clearly.
In general, Zheng Min is a typical aristocratic concubine. After she was born, she was taken to Mrs. Xu to raise her. Because Mrs. Xu only gave birth to a son and no daughter, she treated Zheng Min fairly well. She was provided with food, clothing, food, housing and transportation.
He has never been treated badly. From this point of view, Zheng Min's luck is pretty good.
However, a concubine is a concubine, and although Mrs. Xu treats her generously, she is not overly considerate. A truly noble lady should be like Ye Qingning and Zhang Yue, who are well-read and talented in poetry. Zheng Min is obviously much inferior and has no knowledge of poetry.
She knows nothing about it and is not interested in playing the piano or sheng, but the female celebrity is very good at it.
No wonder the arrogant Ye Qingning looks down on Zheng Min. Such a shy, introverted, dull, honest and inarticulate girl can basically be called boring.
However, Ye Qinglan was very accommodating to Zheng Min. She often accompanied her as a female celebrity. When Zheng Min was interested, she would talk to her. When Zheng Min was dull and silent, Ye Qinglan would silently accompany her. After a few days, Ye Qinglan and Zheng Min
Min's feelings quickly heated up.
Seeing this, Ye Qingning felt a little uncomfortable and complained dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I asked you to accompany me, why do you go to accompany that piece of wood every day?"
Mu is the nickname Ye Qingning gave Zheng Min in private. When talking in private, he often calls Zheng Min this nickname.
Ye Qinglan naturally refused to tell the truth and responded with a smile: "You are busy serving your parents-in-law and taking care of your brother-in-law every day. When I have nothing to do, of course I want to get close to my future sister-in-law." The real fact is that Ye Qinglan knew full well that Zheng Min was married.
The future life will never be happy. In the final analysis, it is all because of Ye Yuanzhou's strange thoughts towards her. Although she is also innocent, the one who is even more innocent is this ignorant girl.
Ye Qinglan has always been very accommodating to Zheng Min out of some subtle apologies that cannot be expressed in words.
Of course, Ye Qingning didn't understand Ye Qinglan's complex and subtle thoughts, but he easily accepted this explanation, and even teased her: "You are smart, start making friends with your future sister-in-law now. I will wait until you get married in the future.
.She is your mother-in-law, how can she treat you badly?"
Ye Qinglan didn't defend herself. She let Ye Qingning make fun of her and just kept laughing.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qingning felt bored, so he dropped the topic and talked about another thing: "My mother-in-law has been busy cleaning the guest room these past two days!" Cleaning the guest room means that the house has to do something again.
A visitor is coming.
Ye Qinglan hummed indifferently, not caring about this upcoming guest.
Ye Qingning usually had to act like a young man in front of his servants. In front of Ye Qinglan, he naturally had no scruples and gossiped enthusiastically: "You don't know who the guest is! He is the son of my aunt and eldest sister.
He is my aunt's nephew. I heard that my aunt's eldest sister married in Shandong and has not been back to the capital for so many years. However, my aunt has kept up correspondence. A few days ago, my aunt received a letter from Shandong and started to let her know.
Someone is cleaning up the guest room. Looking at the situation, this guest will probably stay for a long time."
Hearing the word Shandong, Ye Qinglan's heart moved slightly. She suddenly became interested: "You have been living well in Shandong, why are you suddenly coming to the capital again?"
Ye Qingning shrugged: "I don't know about this. I probably admire the prosperity of the capital and want to come and see it." The capital is at the feet of the emperor, so it goes without saying that it is prosperous and wealthy. Shandong, with its sturdy folk customs, is naturally far behind. The young man wants to come to the capital.
It is also a matter of course.
Ye Qinglan asked casually: "By the way, what is the name of this guest? What should I call him when we meet him?"
Ye Qingning smiled and said: "I didn't ask in detail. I will know when he comes. Then just call me cousin."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded, quickly forgetting this trivial matter. At this time, she had no idea what kind of waves this person's arrival would cause in her life.
Of course Mrs. Xu has no feelings for this nephew she has never met. But no matter what, he is also her sister's biological son. The eldest sister also wrote a letter in person, begging her to take more care of her. As an aunt, it is natural for her to do so.
, immediately ordered people to clean up a yard, and moved some expensive and exquisite furniture from the warehouse. When everything was packed properly, this charming guest happened to arrive in the capital.
Mrs. Xu ordered people to greet him at the city gate, and specially asked Zheng Junyan to come over. Ye Qingning also came. Ye Qinglan didn't want to join in the fun, but Ye Qingning smiled and said: "It's okay anyway, why not go meet Shandong people?"
What does it look like?"
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter. For Ye Qingning, who had been pampered and had lived in the capital for a long time, the world outside the capital was all new. Forget it, there was nothing wrong anyway, so he just followed along and joined in the fun.
As soon as we left the yard, we met Zheng Min.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said hello: "Cousin Min, are you also going to have guests?"
"Yes, my mother sent someone to ask me to meet this cousin." Zheng Min was obviously reluctant to meet a strange young man. But this guest from afar was Mrs. Xu's nephew.
But I don't think it would be too rude.
So, everyone went to Mrs. Xu's yard. Mrs. Xu was a little surprised when she saw Ye Qinglan coming too. But she didn't show anything on her face and greeted with a smile: "The guests haven't arrived yet, please sit down and wait for a while.
!”
Ye Qinglan always kept the identity of her guest in mind and did not say much after sitting down.
Zheng Junyan has been busy preparing for the official candidate examination recently. He was called to see a cousin he had never met before. In fact, he was not very willing. He didn't show anything on his face and asked with a smile: "Mother, my cousin's name is
What name?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "He is one year younger than you. He is fifteen this year. His full name is Meng Zijun..."
As soon as the name hit her ears, Ye Qinglan's smile condensed on the corners of her lips, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Ye Qingning felt very strange when he saw her expression was different, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qinglan composed herself and said with a nonchalant smile: "I probably ate too much in the morning and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. It's much better now. You don't have to worry."
Ye Qingning did not doubt that he was there, and smiled and warned: "When the guests arrive, you should eat less at noon so as not to make it more uncomfortable if you have too much food."
Ye Qinglan obediently agreed, and when Ye Qingning looked away, she lowered her eyelids.
Meng Zijun... this name is very familiar to her.
At that time, she was the most famous psychiatrist in the industry and had cooperated with the police several times. She successfully met the young and handsome criminal police captain. The criminal police captain had always been very fond of her and had no time to pursue her due to official duties.
It wasn’t until the end of the mission that he plucked up the courage to confess to her with the encouragement of everyone. When a handsome man kneels down to woo her with a large bouquet of roses, there are probably few women who can refuse. What’s more, at that time,
She also had a good impression of the detective captain. So under the clamor of everyone, she accepted the bouquet of roses half-heartedly.
But the next second, she was greeted by a bullet. She was hit between the eyebrows, and then she fell limply into the arms of her boyfriend who had just taken office less than a second ago. She died without even saying her last words.
.
Then, the moment she woke up and opened her eyes, she inexplicably became Ye Qinglan.
Over the past year or so, she has adapted very well. Under deliberate forgetfulness, the memory of being Ye Qinglan gradually blurred. Many times, she even had the illusion that she was Ye Qinglan.
But at this moment, this familiar name was like a key, opening the gap in her heart. Memories of the past kept coming back. She could hardly hear a word of what the people around her were saying, she could only be immersed in it.
in one's own thoughts.
Fortunately, she kept her head down, so no one noticed her changing expression.
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and suddenly felt funny about her absence.
It's just a person with the same name. What is she thinking about here? Everything in her previous life has long become a distant past, and she can't go back no matter how much she thinks about it. Why bother asking for trouble?
Ye Qinglan soon returned to normal and continued to listen to everyone with a smile.
Near noon, the carriage that went to pick up the guests finally arrived at Zheng Guogong's mansion.
After Mrs. Xu got the news, she was naturally happy and wanted to go out to greet him in person. However, Zheng Junyan rushed to his feet and said, "Mother, I will go to the gate to greet cousin Meng."
Mrs. Xu responded with a smile.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Zheng Junyan finally led the guests into the courtyard. Mrs. Xu stood up to greet her, and Ye Qingning and Zheng Min also stood up. Under such circumstances, Ye Qinglan naturally couldn't sit alone, so she followed suit
stood up.
Ye Qinglan followed everyone's gaze and looked over. Then, her eyes widened in disbelief.
