This kind of problem is really complicated for her. It requires a lot of words to explain clearly. She understands it very well, but she can't express it.
Growing up, she has never lacked girls of the same age around her. Most of them are very enthusiastic, and there are many who deliberately flatter and please her. When her brother Gu Xinian is around, they are especially enthusiastic towards her. But when no one else is present
, they would look at her as if she were a different person, with a look of pity and contempt.
It's like looking at a monster.
She doesn't like them, so she has no friends.
But Ye Qinglan was different. When Ye Qinglan looked at her, there were no complex calculations in her eyes, only friendliness and gentleness. Her smile was warm and bright, making people feel at ease and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
She likes Ye Qinglan.
Gu Xiyu thought seriously for a long time, but Gu Xinian was not in a hurry and just waited patiently. After a long time, Gu Xiyu opened her mouth and said, "Brother, can I be friends with her?"
Gu Xinian's eyes quickly flashed with light, but the smile on his face became gentler: "Of course. As long as Yu'er likes it."
Gu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and a small smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Although the smile was not obvious, it was a rare joy for her.
Gu Xinian looked at his only sister with pity, and a series of complicated emotions flashed through his eyes. However, this loss of temper was only momentary, and he soon returned to his former gentleness and calmness.
Of course, Ye Qinglan didn't know all this.
At this moment, she, together with Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan, were leaving Luomei Courtyard and walking towards Changhe Hall.
I don't know what the two of them were thinking about. In short, they didn't speak during the whole journey. They were both preoccupied. Occasionally they looked at each other, but they quickly looked away in unison.
The atmosphere was so awkward, so Ye Qinglan naturally understood the situation and deliberately walked slowly, falling far behind.
If the two of them want to say something, this is a great opportunity. At this time, the barriers between men and women are very important, and opportunities like this to be alone together do not come often.
Changhe Hall was getting closer and closer, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard faintly. It was obvious that the opera troupe had already started singing.
Zheng Junyan finally made up his mind and stopped: "Cousin Qingning, I have something to tell you."
Ye Qingning's face was not very pretty, but he stopped and looked straight at Zheng Junyan: "If my cousin has anything to say, you might as well say it directly. There is no need to be so hesitant."
The maids were all smart and interesting, and had already retreated. Zhixia even went to the intersection and stood there to prevent anyone passing by and overhearing what her master was saying.
Ye Qinglan was naturally more sensible. She had already turned sideways, pretending to appreciate the flowers and plants on the roadside. However, her ears had always been very sensitive, and the words of the boy and girl who were in a stalemate over there penetrated her word for word.
in the ears.
Zheng Junyan spoke out his heart in one breath: "Cousin, we grew up together since childhood, and we share the same love as brother and sister. I don't have to hide it in front of you, I just say it directly. In fact, what I have always liked in my heart is Xi.
Cousin Jade..."
"Cousin, you've got the wrong person! You should talk to cousin Xiyu about these things, why are you talking to me?" Ye Qingning responded coldly, with a very ugly look on his face.
Ye Qingning was naturally in a terrible mood at the moment.
She had always been secretly in love with Gu Xinian, but she knew very well in her heart that the possibility of her marrying into Duke Dingguo's palace was extremely slim. The next best thing was to marry her childhood sweetheart, her cousin Zheng Junyan.
I never expected that Zheng Junyan would have a sweetheart...
He chose this moment to say this, and obviously there is more to it.
Sure enough, I heard Zheng Junyan say in embarrassment and apology: "Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else. It's just that my father and mother seem to be interested in discussing our marriage with my aunt, so I think... I think..."
Ye Qingning took a deep breath, straightened her waist, and said expressionlessly: "What do you want?"
The next words were really hard to say. Zheng Junyan hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "I want to find a suitable opportunity to express my feelings to my parents. I hope my cousin won't be offended!"
Ye Qingning tried his best to suppress his anger and responded with a stiff expression: "This is your business. You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me."
It is simply a huge humiliation to encounter something like this before we are even engaged.
Ye Qingning has always been a very proud girl, with a high self-esteem. She never expected that she would encounter such a shame and humiliation today. She was already angry with her, but she still wanted to maintain her pride on her face. She would never do it in front of Zheng Junyan.
Show weakness for half a point.
Zheng Junyan didn't know her temper. Seeing that her pretty face was unusually pale, he felt a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. In fact, you are a very good girl, and you will definitely meet more in the future."
Good boy..."
"Of course." Ye Qingning said without hesitation: "I will definitely marry someone ten times better than you in the future."
Zheng Junyan didn't know what to say and stood there awkwardly and at a loss.
But Ye Qingning didn't even want to look at him again, and shouted loudly: "Ten sisters, the troupe has started singing, let's go over quickly and join in the fun."
Ye Qinglan just finished admiring the flowers, responded with a smile, and walked over as if nothing had happened. She just pretended not to notice the strange and condensed atmosphere between Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan, and said with a smile: "Cousin Zheng, do you want to go too?
"
"No need." Ye Qingning said coldly: "He has important things to do, so he is not in the mood to watch a show. Let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly followed her. She wanted to offer some words of comfort, but when she saw Ye Qingning's ugly face, she decisively chose to remain silent.
At this moment, Ye Qingning probably couldn't listen to anything. It's better not to touch this nail.
The stage is located in the garden outside the flower hall, and the female family members sit together in twos and threes. The singing and singing can be heard endlessly on the stage, but there are not many people listening carefully in the audience. Most of them are whispering to people they know well.
say.
Many girls who were familiar with Ye Qingning nodded to her. Ye Qingning was in a very bad mood, but she had to squeeze out a smile to respond. The smile was naturally a little stiff. Fortunately, everyone was used to Ye Qingning's arrogant temper, and no one could
Didn't notice anything strange.
Ye Qinglan glanced around and saw Mrs. Zheng.
Mrs. Zheng and her sister-in-law Mrs. Xu were sitting in the front row, with Mrs. Zheng next to them. The three of them didn't know what they were talking about, but they all had smiles on their faces. Mrs. Xu caught sight of Ye Qingning from the corner of her eye, and immediately smiled and waved to Ye Qingning to come over.
Ye Qingning hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth.
Ye Qinglan followed quickly in the mood of watching a good show.
