After hearing this, Gu Xiyu was extremely moved: "Brother, you are so kind to me."
Gu Xinian smiled calmly and said: "I'm just a sister like you. If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to?" After a pause, he told Gu Xiyu a few words: "Yu'er, there must be a lot of people watching the lanterns on the Lantern Festival. , if someone comes to chat with you shamelessly, you must ignore it!" For example, someone like Shen.
Gu Xiyu: "..."
A few days later, Gu Xinian's "illness" was indeed completely cured. The brother and sister were going to watch the lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Somehow Gu Yongnian found out about it, and said with a shy face: "Cousin, we also We plan to go see the lanterns, why not come together, it will be more lively if there are more people."
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and glanced thoughtfully at Gu Yongnian, who was smiling carefully: "It's okay if it's just you and your wife, but if someone else comes along who shouldn't be there..."
Gu Yongnian felt guilty and did not dare to look directly into Gu Xinian's sharp eyes: "No irrelevant people will show up to disturb our interest, cousin, just don't worry."
Gu Xinian hummed casually and finally said nothing more.
…
The Lantern Festival is the most anticipated festival in the New Year. On this day, the busiest streets in Beijing are filled with all kinds of lanterns. There are people who guess lantern riddles, people who sell lanterns, and some who sell all kinds of snacks. Yes, there are jugglers and performers, and of course there are young men and women who join in the fun.
This is also the only good day of the year when girls who have not left the boudoir are allowed to go out at will. For girls who stay bored in the boudoir all day long, it is naturally a rare and good opportunity.
On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Ye Qinglan made an appointment with Ye Qingning to go out on the street together. Ye Chengli agreed readily. Xue had no excuse to be embarrassed and reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Ye Qingfu loves to join in the fun, so of course she doesn't want to miss such a good day. She had prepared new clothes a few days ago, and she was full of confidence in preparing to make a wonderful appearance and outshine the rest. It's a pity that she has bad luck. , unfortunately, I had a bad stomach the day before, had diarrhea all day and night, and was almost pale. Even if she wanted to join in the fun, it was impossible. Ye Qingfu looked at her new clothes and shiny jewelry, and she was so depressed. Almost crying.
Ye Qinglan kindly suppressed her smile and comforted her with a few words: "Second sister, you are not feeling well and cannot leave the house. There is nothing you can do about it. Don't be sad. I will bring you a lantern when I come back, okay? OK? What kind of lanterns do you like?"
Ye Qingfu sniffed: "It doesn't cost too much, just bring me a lotus lantern. There are also delicious snacks sold on the street. Bring me a portion of each. And those fun gadgets , and don’t forget to bring it to me. And..." It doesn’t require much. If it were written on paper, it would only be two pages at most.
Ye Qinglan felt helpless and amused at the same time, and nodded perfunctorily.
Ye Qingfu said cruelly: "We are about the same figure, so I will lend you the new clothes and jewelry I prepared."
Ye Qinglan felt a little warm in her heart. Ye Qingfu was actually a spoiled child. Sometimes her words made people feel headache and angry, but she didn't have any bad intentions. In the past few months, she had also changed her opinion of Ye Qingfu. few……
Ye Qingfu also earnestly warned: "If someone compliments you on the beautiful dress and jewelry, you must remember to tell her that it was originally mine."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Take back what you just said! In fact, Ye Qingfu is heartless and has no eyes.
In the end, Ye Qinglan naturally didn't ask for Ye Qingfu's new clothes and jewelry. After appeasing Ye Qingfu with a lot of sweet words, Ye Qinglan went back to the house and tidied up carefully.
After the New Year, she grew taller and gained the gracefulness and charm of a girl. Her beautiful face became more and more soft, like a budding orchid slowly blooming, exuding the beauty of a girl.
Wearing a pink dress, her hair was pulled up loosely and pinned with a delicate gold hairpin. The remaining hair hung softly on her ears.
Finally, the girl in the mirror has unpainted eyebrows, red lips, and bright eyes like water. She doesn't have any particularly expensive jewelry, but she has a kind of elegance that can't be turned away.
Guiyuan excitedly held a bouquet of freshly picked flowers from the garden and inserted them into the vase. The room was suddenly filled with a refreshing floral fragrance.
Ye Qinglan saw a clivia among them and liked it very much. She picked the orchid and tied it in her hair.
Ruixue looked at it, then smiled and said: "Wearing flowers looks much more elegant than gold hairpins."
Ye Qinglan took a look at herself in the mirror, pursed her lips with satisfaction and smiled. A woman wants to please her appearance, so Gu Xiyu will go tonight, and Gu Xinian will definitely follow, so naturally she has to dress up well.
In the evening, Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan both came. But Meng Zijun was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Qinglan was relieved, but also felt a little inexplicably sad. What she said that day had completely hurt Meng Zijun's heart, so he must have avoided seeing her!
Ye Qingning seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and whispered: "I heard that the Criminal Department took on a big case. Just after the New Year, cousin Meng went to the Criminal Department as an errand. We haven't seen him in a few days."
Ye Qinglan hummed softly, not worrying much about Meng Zijun. In his previous life, he was a very outstanding criminal policeman. He was both bold and careful, and had good skills. Even if the time and space were different, he would still be able to do a good job.
After waiting for less than ten minutes for a cup of tea, Gu Xinian's brother and sister also arrived. Logically speaking, men and women who have already made an engagement should not meet. However, since Ye Chengli and Mr. Xue did not say anything, naturally Mr. Zheng would not
He was so talkative. He smiled and said hello to the two siblings.
Accompanying their siblings were Gu Yongnian and his wife, who were newly married. Zhang Yue and Ye Qingning were cousins and had always had a good relationship. When the two met, they naturally had some cordial greetings.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Gu Xinian, feeling secretly strange. How could a person who had just recovered from a serious illness have such a rosy complexion?
No matter who it is, if they drink the tonic for several days in a row, their complexion will not be any worse!
Gu Xinian had already noticed from the corner of his eye that Ye Qinglan was secretly looking at him. Not to mention the comfort and joy in his heart, but he didn't even show it on his face. He dealt with Mrs. Zheng calmly and politely.
As soon as Gu Xiyu saw Ye Qinglan, she walked over happily and laughed softly: "Should I call you sister-in-law now?"
…
Ye Qinglan responded without changing her expression: "Just call me Cousin Lan!"
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, it won't be too late to change my tune after you get married."
...Simple and lovely Sister Gu, when did you become so narrow-minded?
While they were chatting and laughing, Ye Yuanwei and Cui Wan also walked in. Seeing how lively the Luomei Courtyard was, Ye Yuanwei immediately laughed and said: "It just so happened that Wan Niang and I were planning to go outside to join in the fun. I didn't expect there were so many people. It would be lively tonight.
Already."
The Lantern Festival is the favorite festival of young men and women. On this day, the only one who can bear not to go out and play is Ye Qingfu, who has diarrhea and loses strength.
Zheng said with a smile: "It's getting late. If you want to join the fun, you'd better set off quickly. If you wait until dark, it will be inconvenient to travel."
As for dinner, of course we went to a restaurant outside.
Among the group of people, Ye Yuanwei is the oldest and has a calm temperament, so he naturally takes on the responsibility of making arrangements. During the Lantern Festival, there are so many people and the roads are so crowded that it would be difficult to move by horse-drawn carriage. Soft sedans are the best option. All women ride on them.
All men will ride on soft sedan chairs. Once they are given the order, everything will be ready in no time.
Just as they were preparing to set off, another servant came to report: "The second young master and his wife of Cui Mansion are here."
Cui Yu and his wife are here too? Is today a big gathering?
Ye Qingning smiled and glanced at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan didn't have any special reaction at all. He was talking and laughing with Gu Xiyu in a low voice. Looking at Gu Xinian again, his expression became more natural. The intention of getting married has been made, and Ye Qinglan will be there sooner or later.
His person. How can he still be in the mood to care about the past things with Cui Yu, who is already married?
When Cui Yu came in with his newlywed wife, he didn't expect so many people to be there. Fortunately, they were all familiar faces and there were no strangers. Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted everyone one by one.
When he saw Ye Qinglan, Cui Yu's eyes were a little complicated, but after all, he was no longer the young and ignorant boy who didn't understand the world. He soon returned to normal and called "Ten Sister" with a smile.
Ye Qinglan returned the favor with a smile.
Luo Miaoke on the side had a smile on her lips, but her eyes when looking at Ye Qinglan were a little subtle.
Everyone's thoughts were different, so I won't describe them one by one for now. There is not much time, so let's stop talking. The women got on the soft sedan chair, and the men each rode their horses. The group was talking and laughing, and the momentum was really big.
However, on the Lantern Festival, such a situation is very common. There are many people traveling with friends, so it does not attract too much attention.
There are many streets with lanterns, but the largest and most lively one is the East Street closest to the Imperial City. Almost the best craftsmen in lantern making in the capital gather on this street.
The East Street is spacious and flat. It is about a few miles from the street to the end of the street. It is getting late at this time, and the lanterns in the East Street are hung high. From a distance, there are already a lot of flowers and bright lights.
On this night, the delicate daughters of the major palaces in the capital can be seen everywhere, and naturally the young men who say they are looking at the lanterns are actually looking at the beauties. That rare free and unrestrained romantic atmosphere can still be clearly conveyed even though they are far away.
come over.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but lift up the sedan curtain and look out. Only then did she realize that Ye Qingning in front of her had already stuck her head out and was impatiently urging the sedan bearer to go faster.
Ye Qinglan burst into laughter, and her mood also soared. As if there was a telepathy in her heart, the young man riding the horse suddenly turned his head and took a deep look at Ye Qinglan.
------------------
After a day of playing in Changzhou, I planned to go to the zoo the next day, but something unexpected happened. I suddenly had a pain in the right side of my abdomen, which lasted for three hours, and I kept breaking out in cold sweats. My husband drove all the way back and took me to the hospital.
After examination, it turned out that it was a right kidney stone. Although this disease is serious, it is very troublesome to treat. I have to drink water and exercise more every day. I probably got this disease because I sat and typed for a long time. So, in the future,
I will try my best to exercise as much as possible. If my body really breaks down, I will have to say goodbye to my favorite coding career~~~~~(_
