Just like Gu Xinian's resolute attitude towards Shen Chang'an, Gu Xiyu was also very guarded against Gu Xinian's attempts to get close to Ye Qinglan. She was almost inseparable from Ye Qinglan every day. In the following days, Gu Xinian never found a chance to be with Ye Qinglan. alone.
Duke Dingguo's Mansion sent people to urge him one after another. Although Gu Xinian was reluctant, he could only plan to return to his home.
No one in Changyuan Uncle Mansion came to urge Ye Qinglan to go back, but he lived in Zheng Guogong's Mansion for two months, and it would be unreasonable to live there any longer. Therefore, when Gu Xinian proposed to return to the manor, Ye Qinglan also said to Ye Qingning It's time to go back home.
Ye Qingning was naturally reluctant to let her go. He reluctantly held her hand and said, "Ten sister, why don't you stay for a few more days before leaving."
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "I have lived here for two months, and it would be outrageous to live here any longer. Even if others don't tell me, I feel embarrassed myself."
Seeing her persistence, Ye Qingning had no choice but to agree. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "My cousin, they are also planning to return home. How about I see you off tonight?"
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile.
Meng Zijun goes out early and comes back late every day, and today he came back before dark for the farewell party. He ignored Gu Xinian's cold eyes, walked directly to Ye Qinglan, and sighed in a low voice: "This time you go back, from now on It will be difficult to meet again."
If we were in modern times, socializing between men and women would be a no-brainer. But at this time and place, it is obviously impossible. Even cousins who are related by blood have to avoid suspicion at all times. What's more, the two of them are incompatible with each other. in-laws?
There was also a trace of reluctance in Ye Qinglan's eyes, and she said softly: "There will always be opportunities to meet in the future. Your job now is very hard. You must take care of yourself." The concern was beyond words.
Meng Zijun felt a warm feeling in his heart, but he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can handle it." His tone was full of confidence. It was quite a bit like the high-spirited Captain Meng back then.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled softly. Although she was in a strange world, Meng Zijun's self-confidence had not faded even a little. With Meng Zijun's ability, he would surely shine in the Ministry of Justice. She really didn't have to worry about him.
"By the way, are your family nice to you?" Meng Zijun asked in a low voice.
Ye Qinglan responded lightly: "Well, they are very good to me." It is better not to let Meng Zijun know the real situation, so as not to worry about him.
Naturally, Meng Zijun would not believe it so easily. There is a big difference between direct children and concubines in this era. Ye Qinglan happened to travel through time and became a concubine. How could life be easy? But he knew better that she was smart, independent and strong. Women will not be easily defeated by difficulties. Therefore, he did not say anything more, but just warned: "If you are unhappy staying in the mansion, just find another excuse to come back to Duke Zheng's mansion."
Ye Qinglan laughed: "What you said is easy. This is Sixth Sister's home. It's not mine. It's okay to come and live here once in a while. What do you mean by coming here often?"
Although the two of them did not mean it, their voices naturally lowered. Others could only see the two of them chatting and laughing in low voices, but could not hear clearly what they were saying.
Gu Xinian actually stood up and walked over: "Why are you two standing here chatting? Why don't you sit down and chat slowly while drinking tea."
It's okay that Meng Zijun didn't see him. As soon as he saw Gu Xinian, the unwillingness and anger in his heart came out. He replied with a smile: "Don't bother me, cousin, I have some whispers with cousin Lan." I mean, it’s just right to stand here.”
Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and he said with a half-smile: "Under the melon fields and plum blossoms, it's better for Cousin Meng to be careful, so as not to cause gossip and damage Cousin Lan's reputation."
Meng Zijun responded with a provocative smile: "Cousin Lan and I are open and honest. Only those narrow-minded villains who make trouble out of nothing will have misunderstandings." In fact, he is not a mean person by nature, but towards Gu Xinian, he unknowingly
He became bitter.
Gu Xinian was not someone to be trifled with. He responded lightly: "If you are really candid, why bother talking away from everyone?"
The smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger, attracting the attention of Zheng Junyan, Ye Qingning, and Gu Xiyu. Ye Qinglan was caught between them, let alone what it felt like.
She had already experienced Gu Xinian's petty nature, and she was not surprised at all that he had such a reaction. But Meng Zijun had always been a cheerful and cheerful man, so why did he become so careless and fond of verbal confrontations?
Also, anyone with a clear eye could see the faint confrontation between the two of them. This made Ye Qinglan suddenly have an unpleasant association. Could it be that Gu Xinian knew about Meng Zijun and her?
…
Zheng Junyan came over with a smile to smooth things over: "It's getting late, we should go to our mother's place, so as not to keep our parents waiting for a long time."
Gu Xinian and Meng Zijun each withdrew their gazes as if nothing had happened and responded with a smile.
The storm was finally eliminated. Zheng Junyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Qinglan also planned to return home, otherwise if this continues, it would never stop for a day...
After dinner, Ye Qinglan formally resigned to Mrs. Xu: "...I plan to take the maids back to the mansion tomorrow. Living in the mansion these days has been a lot of trouble."
Madam Xu kept a few words out of politeness, but Ye Qinglan was determined to leave, so Madam Xu said no more. When it was Gu Xiyu's turn to say goodbye, Madam Xu became more enthusiastic and said with a smile: "You and
It’s rare to come back in Xinian, why don’t you stay a little longer before going back.”
Gu Xiyu responded fluently: "Thank you, aunt, but in a few days, my cousin will get married. That's why my mother keeps urging me and my eldest brother to go back."
Mrs. Xu then remembered that the marriage between Gu Yongnian and the second Miss Luo Mansion was coming soon. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Look at my memory, how could I forget this happy event? Then I won't keep you, wait."
Now that the happy event has passed, you can come over whenever you want, but don't be polite to your aunt."
Gu Xiyu smiled and said nothing again. She was the kind of person who could keep silent as much as possible without speaking. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu was familiar with her temperament and didn't take it seriously.
That night, Ye Qinglan had a good sleep. The next morning, she got up early to freshen up. After having a simple breakfast, the maids were busy moving the parcels and luggage to the carriage.
Zheng Junyan and Meng Zijun both rushed to Dianmao and could not come to see them off, so Ye Qingning saw them all the way to the door.
Gu Xiyu got on one carriage, and Ye Qinglan got on another. Such separations were already commonplace for Ye Qinglan, but she always felt a little sad in her heart.
We say goodbye today, I don’t know when we will see each other again...
"Cousin Lan," Gu Xiyu waved to Ye Qinglan through the car window: "When your cousin gets married, don't forget to come for the wedding banquet."
Ye Qinglan cheered up and agreed with a smile. She silently calculated in her heart that Gu Yongnian's big day was scheduled for September 20th. In other words, in more than 20 days, Gu Xiyu and Gu Xinian would be able to see each other again.
It was only a little over twenty days, not too long, and it passed quickly.
Ye Qinglan comforted herself in her heart, and finally couldn't help but glance at Gu Xinian quietly.
Gu Xinian was riding on a horse, seemingly carelessly not paying special attention to her, but when she looked over, she happened to look over too. Their eyes met for less than a second, and they both looked away. In their hearts,
That empty place was filled inexplicably.
The two carriages left the alley one after the other, and then parted ways at a fork in the road.
Ye Qinglan put down the car curtain, feeling a sense of sadness and sadness that lingered in her heart for a long time.
Every time she met Gu Xinian, there was always a dispute. When she was angry, she would rather he stay far away and just out of sight. But when they were separated, she began to miss him in a hopeless way.
Come……
Seeing that her mood was waning, the maids also stopped talking. There was silence in the carriage. Only the occasional sound coming from outside the carriage was heard.
Ruomei's ears suddenly stood up, and her expression changed: "Miss, it seems that a horse is chasing our carriage." She has martial arts skills, and her ear power is far better than ordinary people.
Ye Qinglan was startled and subconsciously raised the car curtain.
The divine white horse is so familiar. The man on the horse has a calm expression, but his eyes are shining with a fascinating light. The smile on his lips is like an intoxicating spring breeze, which makes people unable to extricate themselves.
It turned out to be Gu Xinian!
After Gu Xinian caught up with the carriage, he finally slowed down and rode slowly, maintaining the same speed as the carriage.
This accident made Ye Qinglan, who had always been calm and composed, finally lose his composure. She was obviously surprised and happy, but she still pretended to be reserved and asked: "Cousin Gu, didn't you accompany cousin Xiyu back home? Why are you here again?
Coming?"
Yes, he didn't know what he was crazy about. He actually lied to Gu Xiyu that he had official matters to deal with, so he hurriedly turned around and chased after her. Just to see her again and give her a ride...
Such frivolous and willful behavior was what he once despised. But now he was happy to do it. Just for the surprise and joy that flashed in her eyes, it was all worth it!
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed with a heart-stopping hot light, but his voice was still very calm and indifferent: "I suddenly remembered that there were urgent matters to be dealt with at the government office, so I told Yu'er and turned the horse around."
... Ruomei suppressed her laughter and quickly lowered her head. Not only her, but also Ruixue and Guiyuan also turned their heads to the other side in a wise manner.
As time passed, even the most honest and honest Guiyuan noticed the ambiguity between her young lady and Mr. Gu. However, no one revealed it, so they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb as if they didn't know anything.
Ye Qinglan's heart was filled with sweetness, and the pear dimples loomed on her cheeks. She looked extraordinarily charming.
Gu Xinian suppressed the turmoil in his heart and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of galloping horse hooves. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is
