The two people who were chatting and laughing in low voices were startled by the sudden sound. They stopped talking in unison and looked up.
But it was Zheng Junyan who walked in. He had obviously just come back from the official office, and he was still wearing a black official uniform. After spending several months in the official department, his bookishness faded a little, and he became a little more calm and calm.
His demeanor. He obviously only heard the last sentence, and his face was full of curiosity.
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning looked at each other and denied in unison: "It's nothing. You must have heard wrong just now!"
Did you hear that wrong? Zheng Junyan was startled: "But, I clearly heard you two say that just now..."
"Me and Tenth Sister are joking!" Ye Qingning lied without blinking: "She hasn't come to see me for so long, and this time she is finally willing to come and stay for a while. I must take this opportunity to get closer to her.
Close."
Zheng Junyan smiled and did not expose this obvious lie. Instead, he changed the topic: "Yes, it is a rare time for the tenth sister to come here. This time I have to stay longer before going back."
To be honest, he was also a little surprised by Ye Qinglan's sudden arrival. It was a bit strange no matter how you thought about it, that a young girl who was engaged to be engaged went out of the house to be a guest in such a high-profile manner...
Zheng Junyan soon knew the reason for this!
In the afternoon, the carriage from Duke Dingguo's mansion arrived. Accompanying Gu Xiyu was Gu Xinian!
When Zheng Junyan saw Gu Xinian, he didn't understand anything. He smiled and joked: "It's a coincidence that my cousin is here. My tenth sister is also a guest today." He deliberately dragged out the word "Qiao".
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and said with a leisurely smile, "Oh? That's such a coincidence. I didn't expect her to come too."
...Compared to pretending, Zheng Junyan was no match for Gu Xinian. He was quickly defeated.
Ye Qingning continued to fight with a smile: "Cousin, cousin Xiyu came at the right time, and she happened to be with the tenth sister. However, I'm afraid it wouldn't be suitable for you to live there too. After all, you and the tenth sister are engaged, and we get along day and night.
It will inevitably cause gossip." It was a rare opportunity to tease Gu Xinian, and I would be sorry for myself if I didn't take advantage of it.
"This makes sense." Gu Xinian unexpectedly agreed: "It's really not suitable for me to live here. I just have to take the time to come over and take a look every day."
...Ye Qingning also quickly retreated. His face was not on the same level as others, and it was a difficult challenge like bickering. Let’s forget it!
Gu Xiyu looked around but didn't see Ye Qinglan, and was a little disappointed: "Why didn't Cousin Lan come to greet us?"
Ye Qingning coughed and laughed: "A woman who is engaged should not be exposed to the public. So, I asked her to wait in the Danfeng Garden!" She would not admit that she was being narrow-minded on purpose and wanted to see Gu Xinian's disappointed expression!
It's a pity that she underestimated Gu Xinian's ability to conceal his emotions. He was always calm and indifferent. Even his steps were slow and slow, showing no signs of urgency at all.
No one could see how impatient Gu Xinian was underneath his calm and indifferent appearance.
After enduring it for several months, he finally had a chance to meet that girl! He had put so much effort into finding a satisfying official position for his future father-in-law, and it was indeed the right decision. Otherwise, how would he have done it at this time?
Such a good situation...
With Danfeng Garden in front of him, Gu Xinian finally became less calm. His pace began to speed up gradually.
Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan exchanged a smile that couldn't help but slow down their pace in unison. Gu Xiyu was so anxious to see Ye Qinglan that she didn't think much about it and kept walking forward. She held her hand calmly.
off her sleeves.
Gu Xiyu was startled and looked back at Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning winked at her and glanced at Gu Xinian's back.
Gu Xiyu followed her gaze and saw that her brother, who always paid attention to his grace, was walking much faster than usual. He didn't even pay attention to the three people behind him...
Gu Xiyu suddenly understood and slowed down her steps.
Gu Xinian didn't notice the actions of the three of them at all. Perhaps he realized that he didn't care at all. He quickly entered the Danfeng Garden.
A pretty girl wearing a pink dress stood in the yard with a smile. Her eyes were as bright as the lake water in spring, and the moment she saw him, she glowed with joy.
Gu Xinian's heart beat uncontrollably a few times, and he couldn't help walking quickly in front of her, locking his eyes tightly on her pretty face: "Cousin Lan, it's been a long time, see you. How are you?"
His voice was low and melodious, and his extremely beautiful eyebrows were flashing with a smile, and he was clearly in love.
Ye Qinglan glared at him quietly, suggesting that he should be more restrained, and then responded with a normal smile: "I'm fine. I wonder how my cousin is doing lately?"
On a warm spring afternoon, the warm sunshine shines on the body, making people happy physically and mentally. The happy and angry smile in front of him is more dazzling and warm than the sunshine. His heart is peaceful and happy, but extremely fulfilling.
"I'm not very well." Gu Xinian said seriously: "I haven't thought about food or food recently. I tossed and turned at night and couldn't sleep peacefully. I obviously have a lot of things to be busy with, but I just can't concentrate on my work. I always think about someone and want to see her.
On the one hand, even if you don’t speak, it’s okay. Cousin Lan, do you know what disease I am suffering from?"
...Who said the ancients were reserved? These words of love are clearly both hot and bold.
Ye Qinglan only felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and she knew that she must be blushing without looking in the mirror. When she was pursued by others in the past, she had heard many more passionate words of love, but her face never changed and her heart did not beat. But this time
I came back, but I couldn’t calm down...
Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan, whose cheeks were as red as clouds, and felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart. The place that had been empty in his heart for several months was suddenly filled to the point of overflowing.
"Don't do stupid things impulsively in the future." Ye Qinglan whispered: "Yesterday, my father specially called me to come to the study to talk, and then asked me to come to Zheng Guogong's mansion. This kind of thing only happens once." Another one.
It would be strange for Ye Chengli not to get angry the second time.
Gu Xinian hummed, and a rare hint of annoyance appeared on his handsome face: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."
"Fortunately, it was my father at the time." Ye Qinglan glanced at him angrily: "If it had been someone else, let's see how you end up!"
Gu Xinian was speechless. He had also thought about this question, and concluded that if it were Xue or someone else discovered him, he would definitely become the "most popular" topic in the capital...
The footsteps behind me are getting closer and closer.
The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then adjusted their moods and expressions. When Ye Qingning and others came forward, the two of them had returned to normal. However, there seemed to be a lingering ambiguity in the air that lingered.
Ye Qingning winked at Ye Qinglan, but Ye Qinglan had to turn a blind eye and looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu, we haven't seen each other for a while. I miss you every day!"
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, then joked: "Do you miss me every day, or do you miss my big brother every day?"
Ye Qinglan: "..."
The most innocent, pure and lovely Sister Gu, why have you learned so badly?
Gu Xinian admired Ye Qinglan's rare shyness and had no intention of helping him. Instead, he stood lazily aside with a smug smile on his lips.
Ye Qingning finally relieved Ye Qinglan with a smile: "If you have anything to say, go in and talk about it."
Everyone entered the main hall of Danfeng Garden and took their seats one by one. The maids served tea, snacks, etc., and then retreated to the side. Gu Xinian and Zheng Junyan casually chatted about matters in the court. Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning looked at Xi Xi.
Jade also started whispering.
Gu Xiyu took the lead and said: "Cousin Lan, I heard from my eldest brother this morning that you were staying at Zheng Guogong's residence for a short stay. I was really surprised and happy at the time. So I rushed to see you in the afternoon." After a pause, I was curious again.
asked: "It is said that after the engagement, you cannot leave the house to be a guest at will. How could your father and mother allow you to leave the house?"
…
Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qinglan with a malicious smile. Today we want to see how Ye Qinglan answers this question.
Facts have proved that Ye Qinglan's ability to deceive people has not diminished at all: "Actually, it is because Sixth Sister missed me so much that she frequently sent people back to the house to intercede. Only then did my father and mother allow me to come to Zheng Guogong's house as a guest."
Ye Qingning: "..."
Gu Xiyu did not doubt that he was there, but believed him, and sighed with some regret: "If it had been in the past, it would have been no problem for me to send someone to pick you up to live in Dingguo Duke's Mansion. It's a pity that you are engaged to your eldest brother now.
, even if I had this idea, my mother would not agree."
"It's not a pity." Ye Qingning came back to his senses and joked with a smile: "Anyway, the tenth sister will marry to the Dingguo Duke's mansion in the future, and then she will live in the Dingguo Duke's mansion every day. When do you want to meet me?
See her whenever she wants."
Gu Xiyu blurted out: "Is it okay at night? I want to sleep with cousin Lan."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Ye Qingning suppressed his laughter and responded seriously: "You have to discuss this matter with Cousin Gu. If he is willing to agree, Tenth Sister should not object."
Gu Xiyu actually thought about this issue seriously.
…
Ye Qinglan tried her best to wave away the shame on her face and whispered: "Cousin Xiyu, Sixth Sister was joking just now. Don't take it seriously." If Gu Xiyu really asked Gu Xinian about such a matter, Gu
If Xinian accidentally says something that he shouldn't say again, that would be really embarrassing!
Gu Xiyu was still in the early stages of understanding the relationship between men and women, so she didn't hear anything wrong with these words. She just subconsciously listened to Ye Qinglan's instructions and nodded in agreement.
Gu Xinian kept paying attention to Ye Qinglan's every move out of the corner of his eye, and seemed a little absent-minded when he spoke.
Zheng Junyan secretly laughed in his heart and invited with a smile: "It's rare for my cousin to come here, why not just have dinner at the house in the evening before leaving!"
Gu Xinian unexpectedly did not agree, but hesitated. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
