At dawn, Ye Qinglan got up. Today's "task" was important and she had to make preparations as soon as possible. Ye Qingning had the same idea as her and got up early.
Unexpectedly, someone got up earlier than the two of them!
When Zhixia reported that the guests had arrived at Danfeng Garden, Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan could hardly believe their ears, and asked in unison: "The guest you are talking about is Shen Changan, right?"
Zhixia couldn't help laughing: "Yes, Master Biao is here too."
…
Ye Qinglan just wanted to touch her forehead and sigh. It's only a quarter of a century now, how can anyone come to someone else's house so early to be a guest? I really don't know what to say about this Shen Chang'an!
Ye Qingning also couldn't laugh or cry, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?" She still had to go to greet her parents-in-law and grandparents, but the guests came so early...
Ye Qinglan thought for a moment and said, "You and your brother-in-law go to say hello first, and I'll go greet the guests first."
That was all that could be done, Ye Qingning nodded in agreement, and then told Zhixia: "Go and invite the guests to sit in the side hall for a while." Zhixia respectfully accepted the order.
Meng Zijun and Shen Changan were led into the side hall and sat down. The maid served tea and snacks neatly. Shen Changan was not in the mood to drink tea, but Meng Zijun was just the opposite. He drank a cup of hot tea and ate a few sweet snacks. dessert.
Shen Changan smiled and teased: "So you like to eat these girls' favorite foods."
Meng Zijun glared at him rudely: "Who said I like to eat these? It's not all your fault. You came so early and I didn't even have time to eat breakfast."
Speaking of this, Shen Changan suddenly felt guilty and smiled coquettishly: "I didn't miss you, that's why I came here early."
Only a ghost can believe this! Meng Zijun glanced at Shen Chang'an, whose eyes were wandering, and the thought that he had tried to suppress came to mind again. He came to Zheng Guogong's mansion in the name of visiting him. Who is the person he really wants to see? Is it Ye Qinglan?
Shen Changan's ecstasy when he received the letter that day was definitely not an act. But if he decided that Shen Changan's sweetheart was Ye Qinglan because of this, it seemed a bit arbitrary...
Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, a slim figure appeared at the door. Meng Zijun naturally calmed down and looked over.
Wearing a light green dress, the girl is fresh, refined and beautiful. The slight smile on the corner of her lips is even more like a spring breeze. The most beautiful thing is her bright eyes. No matter what happens, she is always there. So calm and composed.
Back then, when I saw her for the first time, I was completely captured by those bright and beautiful eyes. From then on, I could no longer tolerate other women in my heart.
After they reunited, he also secretly compared her. In fact, she is very different now from before. In the past, Ye Qinglan was calm and wise, her words were gentle yet sharp, and she was the focus of the crowd wherever she went. But Now, she is much more restrained and reserved. She is very cautious in everything she says and does, without the sharpness and brilliance of before. She is no different from an ordinary noble lady.
Seeing Ye Qinglan like this, he actually felt very uncomfortable. But he also knew that this was her helpless disguise. After all, this is not a society where men and women are equal, and there are many restrictions and rules on women. If you want to live a stable life, She must change.
In comparison, I am much luckier. As a man, it is okay to behave a bit out of the ordinary. Moreover, the candidate for the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Punishment is a sure shot. Even in a different world, he can still engage in what he loves most. Career. But she is just the opposite. She must hide everything she is good at and loves. This must be a very painful thing for her!
But she never complained, quickly accepted these realities, and even adapted well to her current life. Such forbearance and wit are her most attractive qualities.
She is still the woman he deeply loves, the strong, brave, optimistic and confident Ye Qinglan.
Meng Zijun has never been so clear about his feelings. In the more than a year apart, a lot of things seemed to have happened. But no matter what, he wanted to get his lover back.
Looking into each other's eyes, Ye Qinglan couldn't resist Meng Zijun's hot and determined eyes, so she naturally moved her gaze to Shen Chang'an's face, and greeted with a smile: "I haven't seen you for almost a year. How are you doing, Mr. Shen?"
Shen Changan was naturally very polite to his sweetheart's good sister, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Ye Shi, for your concern. I have completed the task assigned by the Lord and returned to Beijing safely."
The short two-sentence conversation made Meng Zijun feel refreshed and secretly happy. The two of them were so unfamiliar and polite, and it was obvious that there was no personal relationship at all. His previous worries and worries were all in vain.
With the burden in his heart gone, Meng Zijun immediately returned to his humorous nature: "Cousin Lan, just don't worry, Brother Shen is superb in martial arts and good at arranging troops, and he is famous in Shandong. Those bandits later became so fearful that they had no choice but to flee. This time When I came back, I was promoted and received huge rewards, and it was very glorious."
Shen Changan laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, you hold me up so high, it would be weird if I fell down and died." The close familiarity in his words showed that the two had a close relationship.
Meng Zijun is decisive and bright by nature, so he naturally admires the rough and unruly Shen Changan. And Shen Changan is also willing to get close to the humorous and unpretentious Meng Zijun. It is not surprising that these two people got together and became good friends.
Ye Qinglan smiled and sat down happily.
Shen Changan felt as if a cat was scratching its paws and kept looking at the door. He was muttering secretly in his heart. Ye Qinglan said in the letter that he could see Gu Xiyu as he wished, but how come he still hasn't seen Gu Xiyu?
How could Ye Qinglan fail to see Shen Changan's thoughts, and hinted with a smile: "Master Shen, please be patient, it is the hour now. The other guest will not arrive until at least an hour later." In fact, like It's really unique for him to come to someone's house so early as a guest.
Shen Changan felt no shame and said with a grin: "I knew she would not come so early, so I specially wanted to come early and wait for her."
...Typical Shen Changan's style! Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly, which can be understood a little. After not seeing each other for so long, it is understandable that Shen Changan misses him so much.
Meng Zijun pricked up his ears, savored these words carefully, and deduced the truth of the matter in just a short moment.
He had indeed misunderstood before. Shen Changan's sweetheart was someone else. Ye Qinglan was probably a good friend of that woman, so she helped deliver the message.
To be honest, he was really curious about what the woman Shen Changan liked would look like?
"Cousin Lan, please stop playing riddles with Brother Shen. Who is the other guest?" Meng Zijun asked curiously.
Ye Qinglan smiled and glanced at Shen Changan: "It's better to let Mr. Shen tell you this question."
Meng Zijun immediately looked at Shen Changan and asked: "Brother Shen, is the sweetheart you used to talk about when you were drunk, this is the guest who is about to come?"
At this time, there was nothing to hide. Shen Changan smiled and nodded, with a rare blush on his dark face. If this expression were that of a teenage girl, she would be about the same. She is one meter tall. The man in his eighties showed such an expression... The effect can only be described as terrifying!
Meng Zijun made fun of him unceremoniously: "Okay, stop pretending to be innocent here. It makes my skin crawl!"
Shen Changan's finally gathered emotions were dispersed by these words. He glared at him angrily and kicked him rudely. Meng Zijun was very agile and immediately retracted his legs and got out of the way.
After such a fuss, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious and relaxed.
Meng Zijun looked at Ye Qinglan with a smile: "Cousin Lan, Brother Shen refuses to tell, you should tell me anyway! What kind of woman can make Brother Shen miss her so much?" Probably because Ye Qingning was not present, his His eyes were far hotter than usual, and even his tone was much more intimate.
"This guest's surname is Gu, and her maiden name is Xiyu. She is a young lady from the Dingguo Palace and cousin Zheng's direct cousin." Ye Qinglan cooperated with Meng Zijun in teasing Shen Chang'an: "She is fourteen years old, has a gentle and quiet temperament, and has a good temperament. His beauty is unparalleled. A certain young man was so frightened that he was a heavenly being upon first meeting him. From then on, he could no longer tolerate any other woman in his eyes..."
No matter how thick-skinned Shen Changan is, he can't help but tease like this. His face becomes redder and redder, and he loses the confidence to speak: "Hey, it's okay for you two to talk in front of me. Sister Gu will come later, you two can't do anything. Don't talk nonsense in front of her. She is thin-skinned and timid..."
How could Meng Zijun let go of such a good opportunity? He winked and said with a smile: "Brother Shen is so compassionate!"
Of course! Shen Changan nodded unceremoniously. Of course, his sweetheart should hold it in his hand and it will hurt.
Meng Zijun and Ye Qinglan both couldn't help laughing and smiled at each other. As their eyes met, the last trace of estrangement disappeared. From this moment on, the two finally found the tacit understanding they had when they worked together.
After a while, Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan also came.
Ye Qingning was okay, and he exchanged a few words with Shen Changan graciously. But Zheng Junyan was obviously absent-minded, his eyes flickered, and fell on Shen Changan's face intentionally or unintentionally. He felt depressed and annoyed, and there was an unknown feeling in his heart. of anger and jealousy.
How could the delicate cousin Xiyu like such a... rude martial artist?
Shen Changan was so careless that he didn't notice it at all. But Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan both knew Zheng Junyan's feelings, and were afraid that he would say something he shouldn't and embarrass everyone.
Fortunately, Zheng Junyan was not an impulsive person. Even though he was unhappy, he didn't say anything. But he was holding back his breath. When Gu Xiyu came later, he had to take a good look at what was going on between the two of them... …(To be continued.
