That night, Ye Qinglan had ups and downs in her thoughts and couldn't sleep all night.
The surprise and ecstasy of meeting an old friend made it impossible for Ye Qinglan, who had always been calm and self-possessed, to calm down her excitement for a long time.
For more than a year, she has lived alone in this strange place carefully, fearing that others would notice something strange. She is extremely adaptable and adapted to her new identity and life as quickly as possible, making friends with Gu Xiyu, Ye Qingning and Cui
Wan, on the surface, is quite beautiful. Moreover, she also met Gu Xinian, and the two fell in love after stumbling over each other. There seemed to be no regrets in such a life.
But she is the only one who knows very well in her heart that she will never be the same as the people around her. Her true origin can only be buried deep in her heart and cannot be known to anyone. Although Gu Xinian has already seen through part of it,
, and that’s all.
She never thought that one day, she would meet Meng Zijun. Meng Zijun comes from the same world as her...
In the dark night with no one around, Ye Qinglan no longer had to hide her true emotions, tears welled up in her eyes unbridled. It was like struggling and trudging on a long road, and suddenly met a relative. She was no longer alone...
In the Songtao Courtyard next to Danfeng Garden, Meng Zijun also stayed up all night. All he could think about was how to meet Ye Qinglan. When he got up the next morning, he saw his eyes were red but his face was red in the mirror.
The excited face was startled. I hurriedly applied cold water to my face and washed my face. After I had tidied up enough to see people, I happily went to Danfeng Garden.
The newlyweds Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan were already dressed, and Ye Qinglan had already gotten up.
The moment Meng Zijun entered the room, Ye Qinglan's heart trembled uncontrollably. But she forced herself to take a deep breath to calm down. Even if she wanted to recognize each other, she had to choose a suitable opportunity. She must not show any strangeness at this moment.
So as not to arouse people's suspicion.
Meng Zijun looked over eagerly, and when he met Ye Qinglan's calm eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized. In the eyes of others, the two of them were just in-laws who had just met, and they seemed too warm and familiar.
inappropriate.
Meng Zijun quickly calmed down his emotions and first greeted Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning with a smile. Then he looked at Ye Qinglan: "Good morning, cousin Qinglan."
Ye Qinglan returned the greeting with a smile: "Good morning, Cousin Meng!"
That's it, don't be impatient, you have to get familiar with it step by step, and slowly look for opportunities to meet in private.
Meng Zijun became the captain of the criminal police at the age of less than 30, and he certainly lived up to his reputation. He has a keen observation, a delicate mind, and a first-rate response. In the short moment when their eyes met, he already understood Ye Qinglan's thoughts.
Sure enough, he looked away as if nothing had happened and started chatting with Zheng Junyan.
"You don't look very good. Did you not sleep well last night?" Zheng Junyan joked with a smile: "You are such an old man, you should still recognize your bed!"
Meng Zijun grinned: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. It's my first time to come to the capital after growing up. I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep last night."
He didn't lie. He was indeed so excited that he didn't sleep all night, but of course it wasn't because he had just arrived in the capital!
Zheng Junyan did not doubt that he was there, and smiled and patted Meng Zijun on the shoulder: "It's hard to get used to it when you first come here. It will get better after some time. I happen to be free today, so I will take you around the house first.
.I will take you out of the house to see you in the afternoon."
Meng Zijun readily agreed.
Zheng Junyan had a good impression of this straightforward cousin, and they talked and laughed along the way. Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan followed them leisurely.
Ye Qinglan occasionally looked up, and Meng Zijun's slender and tall figure came into view. Under the bright and dazzling sunlight, that figure also exuded a shining light. It gave her an unreal feeling as if she was in a dream...
Ye Qingning was talking about something. Seeing that Ye Qinglan had not responded, he looked over in surprise. He happened to catch the look in Ye Qinglan's eyes looking at Meng Zijun. Suddenly he felt strange in his heart. He couldn't help lowering his voice and asked: "Ten sisters, Why do you keep looking at Cousin Meng?"
If it were any other girl, Ye Qingning would naturally feel that she was attracted to the handsome and cheerful Meng Zijun. But Ye Qinglan... already had Gu Xinian, so it was impossible for her to have a crush on another man!
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and secretly blamed herself for being too careless. Ye Qingning is so sharp and smart. It would be terrible if she noticed something was wrong! She had to find a suitable reason to fool him...
"Cousin Meng is from Shandong. I was wondering if he might know some news about Shen Chang'an." Ye Qinglan quickly found an excuse.
Ye Qingning did not doubt it, and said with a low smile: "This matter should be asked in private."
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded. With this excuse, she could meet Meng Zijun privately in the future and be able to explain herself in front of Ye Qingning.
After greeting Mrs. Xu and Zheng Yun and his wife, the men and women still had breakfast quietly, and then went to greet Zheng Guogong and his wife.
Then, Zheng Junyan kept his promise and led Meng Zijun around the mansion all morning. In the afternoon, he accompanied Meng Zijun out of the mansion and went to the most prosperous streets in the capital. Of course, Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan would never leave the mansion together. .
After wandering around for a day, Meng Zijun was still a little tired no matter how strong his body was. At night, he fell asleep soundly.
In the next few days, Ye Qinglan and Meng Zijun met several times. But every time they met, there were always a lot of people present. There was no chance to say anything.
Meng Zijun went to Danfeng Garden several times openly under the pretext of looking for Zheng Junyan. Unfortunately, Zheng Junyan always dragged him to the study to talk, or took him to wander around the garden. Speaking of which, It's also strange that I haven't met Ye Qinglan once.
Meng Zijun couldn't help but feel anxious, secretly cursing this old-fashioned feudal social system. What kind of bullshit does it mean that men and women cannot be intimate with each other! After finally meeting her again, he couldn't even find a chance to talk alone!
Ye Qinglan was also secretly anxious. She had been living in Zheng Guogong's mansion for more than half a month, and she might return home at any time. By then, it would be even harder to find a chance to meet alone. If she wanted to meet and talk to Meng Zijun alone , we must have Ye Qingning’s help...
Ye Qingning still maintained the habit of practicing the piano every day. He stopped playing for an hour before he stopped. He looked up and couldn't help teasing: "Thirteenth sister, what's wrong with you these days? You're always absentminded. Are you thinking? Take care of your cousin!" There were only two of them in the piano room, so there were no taboos in talking.
...How can I think about Gu Xinian these days! Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "You guessed wrong this time, I was thinking about cousin Xiyu!"
Ye Qingning raised his eyebrows: "It's so good, why do you think of her?"
Just waiting for Ye Qinglan's words! Ye Qinglan's eyes flashed and he sighed deliberately: "There is something I haven't told you. A few days ago, I met a man named Xie Peng at the Dingguo Palace..." What happened was told again.
Ye Qingning listened with great interest, especially when he heard the part where Gu Xiyu dismissed Xie Peng with just a few words, and he even cheered: "That's great, cousin Xiyu is much more powerful than before!"
In the past, Gu Xiyu would only avoid crying when encountering such a thing, but how could she have the courage to send someone.
"Yes, Cousin Xiyu has indeed changed a lot." Ye Qinglan said pointedly: "Sixth sister, do you know why she has changed like this?" Without waiting for Ye Qingning to answer, she revealed the answer: "Because she I have someone I like in my heart, so I don’t show any pretense to other men.”
Ye Qingning also knew a lot about the affairs between Shen Changan and Gu Xiyu. Hearing this, he sighed: "I didn't expect that cousin Xiyu would still miss him after Shen Changan left for so long."
If it was just a girl's impulsiveness, Gu Xiyu should have put Shen Chang'an behind her after nearly a year. But now Gu Xiyu is still thinking about him. This can only mean one thing, Gu Xiyu really likes him he.
Ye Qinglan followed Ye Qingning's words and sighed softly: "It's a pity that Shen Changan has been gone for so long and there is no news. Cousin Xiyu didn't say it, but she was always thinking about it in her heart. It would be great if she could know his current situation. Cousin Xiyu can also be in a better mood." In fact, although Gu Xiyu likes Shen Changan, she doesn't think about him every day. She has never even mentioned him on her own initiative. Ye Qinglan said this just to lead Ye Qingning to say the next thing. Just words.
"By the way, isn't Cousin Meng from Shandong?" Ye Qingning's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of Meng Zijun: "His father is the governor of Shandong. When Shen Changan goes to Shandong to suppress bandits, he must deal with the government. Cousin Meng is sure He will know some news. Why don't we ask him."
Dear Sixth Sister, this idea you proposed is really to my liking!
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile: "Sixth Sister, this is a good idea. However, you have to avoid your cousin. The fewer people who know about Cousin Xiyu and Shen Changan, the better."
Ye Qingning smiled and rolled his eyes at her: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Of course I know this. He has something to do this afternoon, so I just want to take advantage of this time to ask Cousin Meng to come over and talk to me. "
Ye Qinglan achieved her goal and was very satisfied.
Ye Qingning was impatient and did what she thought of. After Zheng Junyan left, she immediately asked Zhixia to go to Songtao Courtyard to invite Meng Zijun. She was worried that Meng Zijun would not come, so she emphasized: "Just say that I have something to ask him. Please ask him to come over."
Although Zhixia secretly felt strange, she didn't ask any questions. She responded respectfully and took the order to Shotoyuan.
"Seeing as he is quite easy to talk to on weekdays, he probably won't stop coming!" Ye Qingning murmured to himself.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her eyelids. How could he not come? How happy would he be before receiving this invitation... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, you Your support is my greatest motivation.)
