In the next half month, Ye Qinglan would go to Songtao Courtyard to accompany Meng Zijun every day. In order to avoid any gossip, she would stay for at most half an hour before leaving. And every time she would be accompanied by Ye Qingning or Gu Xiyu, and there would always be
A maid or servant is present.
The two of them had no chance to speak alone. They only spoke polite and courteous words each time, but even so, it was enough to make Meng Zijun feel happy. In addition, the wound medicine sent by Gu Xinian was very effective, and the wound on his leg was actually
He got better quickly.
In the past half month, Gu Xinian's appearance has been very rare. Gu Xiyu complained several times in private: "I don't know what he has been busy with recently, why doesn't he come to see us..."
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled softly.
If in the past, she and Meng Zijun had so many opportunities to get along, Gu Xinian would definitely be worried. But after that heart-to-heart conversation, Gu Xinian kept his promise and never asked about the relationship between her and Meng Zijun.
Moreover, they also quietly reduced the number of visits to Zheng Guogong's residence, lest they get too close, which would make Meng Zijun feel gloomy and unhappy, which would affect his recovery.
Gu Xinian had never been a tolerant and generous person. In fact, he was petty and careless, and he was basically jealous. But he was like this, but he silently gave in so much for her.
…
Whenever she thinks about this, her heart feels soft and warm. Even though the two of them don't have many opportunities to meet and get along, their relationship becomes stronger and deeper.
She even began to secretly look forward to the days passing by quickly, and when she got her haircut, he would marry her...
Gu Xiyu talked for a long time and didn't get a single word of response. She was secretly feeling strange in her heart. When she looked up, she saw Ye Qinglan with a sweet smile and her eyes wandering, her emotions had long been distracted.
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, then stretched out her hand mischievously and waved it in front of her eyes a few times.
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just thought of something, so I was distracted for a moment."
Gu Xiyu asked seriously: "What did you think of just now?"
…
Ye Qinglan couldn't say anything, so she coughed and changed the subject: "There are so many people visiting Cousin Meng in the past few days. It seems that he is quite popular." Most of these people are from the Superintendent's Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Yes, Meng Zijun’s immediate boss also came here. It seems that Meng Zijun has been doing pretty well in the Criminal Department in the past six months.
Just as he was talking, Ye Qingning came over with a smile. He deliberately glanced at Gu Xiyu and then said with a smile: "Another guest has come to Songtao Courtyard. How about we go over and say hello to the guest?"
Gu Xiyu didn't react, but Ye Qinglan thought: "Is Shen Changan here?" Shen Changan and Meng Zijun have a very good relationship. When they heard that Meng Zijun was injured, they would definitely come to visit.
Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning exchanged knowing smiles, and accompanied Gu Xiyu to Songtao Courtyard. From far away, they heard Shen Changan's loud voice: "...your little injury is nothing. Think about me back then.
When I went to the battlefield, I was hit in the chest with a knife. The blood flew several meters away. I didn't bandage it at all. I took the knife and chopped the person who attacked me into two pieces..."
Gu Xiyu stopped unconsciously.
Shen Changan didn't notice that there were three more people behind him, and he boasted frothing at the mouth: "By the way, you remember that time when I was suppressing bandits in Shandong, I was slashed on the leg! I almost saw the bones.
, I still kept a straight face and chased after him on horseback. I solved the man three times, five times and two times, and then..."
"Then I almost fell off the horse because of the excessive blood loss." Meng Zijun interrupted his bragging unceremoniously and winked at him. The beauty has already arrived, so it's better not to talk about such bloody topics!
Unexpectedly, Shen Changan was so excited that he didn't notice Meng Zijun's subtle look at all: "I was too tired, so I swayed a little on the horse. I was suffering from excessive blood loss..."
Ye Qinglan coughed lightly.
Shen Changan was stunned for a moment, then turned around reflexively, and immediately saw Gu Xiyu standing by the door. However, there seemed to be something wrong with Gu Xiyu's expression today, her pretty face was pale and there was no color.
Could it be that he was frightened by what he said just now? Shen Changan thought with annoyance, stood up quickly and said with a smile: "When did you come, why didn't you say anything."
Ye Qinglan smiled and teased: "You are so focused and focused as you said, we really can't bear to disturb you." Not to mention the timid Gu Xiyu, even she felt hairy all over after hearing these bloody words.
Shen Changan explained nonchalantly: "Actually, what I just boasted was all nonsense, just to comfort Zijun."
Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows with a half-smile: "You'd better say these words to cousin Xiyu alone."
Shen Changan finally understood such an obvious hint, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The look he looked at Ye Qinglan was almost the same as looking at the Guanyin Bodhisattva who was rescuing people from suffering.
…
Ye Qinglan and others watched as Shen Changan carefully followed Gu Xiyu to the eaves of the house outside, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Everything comes down, and this sentence is absolutely true! Shen Changan, who is informal and bold, As soon as she met Gu Xiyu, she became a charming person.
Ye Qinglan turned around and asked with a smile: "Cousin Meng, have you changed your medicine today?"
Meng Zijun smiled and hummed, and then said after a slight hesitation: "If I see Cousin Gu next time, thank him for me. If it weren't for the medicine he sent me, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
When I mention that name, I still have a grudge in my heart, but the vague pain in my heart is much lighter than before.
Although he was unwilling to do so, he finally had to accept this fact. Ye Qinglan was already Gu Xinian's fiancée, and perhaps the two of them would get married in the near future...
Ye Qinglan did not miss the flash of sourness in his eyes. She sighed quietly in her heart, but did not show it on her face. She only smiled and said: "Okay, when I see him in the future, I will definitely convey your gratitude to him."
Ye Qingning looked at Meng Zijun who was smiling forcefully, and felt a trace of sympathy in his heart.
"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you." Ye Qinglan cheered up and smiled: "It's been nearly a month since I came. I plan to pack up and go back home tomorrow."
Meng Zijun was stunned: "Going back so soon? Can't you stay a little longer?"
Ye Qinglan smiled apologetically: "I've sent a letter from the government. In a few days, my eighth cousin will get married. For such a happy event, I can't help but go back."
Meng Zijun silently calculated that his leg injury would be almost healed by then, and he might be able to have a wedding banquet with Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning...
Under the eaves of the corridor, Gu Xiyu lowered her eyelids and looked a little gloomy. When Shen Changan saw this, he felt even more regretful and said softly: "Sister Gu, what I just said was a joke. Don't take it to heart." …”
"Are you often injured?" Gu Xiyu raised her eyes and asked softly.
Shen Changan still dared to tell the truth, and immediately smiled and said: "It's nothing. When I went to the battlefield, I occasionally received a few minor injuries. In the past year in Shandong, I also received a minor injury. However, since I returned to the capital, After that, I worked as an errand conscientiously and peacefully every day, and I never got hurt again.” I really wish I could take back everything I said before!
Gu Xiyu's eyes were filled with light and she whispered: "Can you take care of yourself more in the future and don't get hurt? I just felt so uncomfortable when I heard you talk about the past."
...So, she was not frightened, but felt sorry for herself?
Shen Changxin was in full bloom and promised repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will never let myself get hurt in the future."
After hearing this, Gu Xiyu finally had a faint smile on her face. She was naturally beautiful and delicate. When she frowned, she was pitiful, but when she smiled, she felt like a spring breeze. Even the hardest-hearted person in the world could not help but feel sad. You will feel sorry for it.
Under this smile, Shen Changan had already softened into a pool of spring water. At this time, even if Gu Xiyu asked him to run into mountains of swords and seas of fire, he would nod without hesitation.
Gu Xiyu was not a talkative person, but Shen Changan was filled with sweetness and joy, and was no longer in the mood to talk. The two of them just looked at each other quietly, with sweetness in their hearts.
After a long while, Gu Xiyu said softly: "My mother asked me if I would only marry you."
Shen Changan suddenly became nervous: "Then what did you say?"
Gu Xiyu's temperament is still as simple and straightforward as a child, and she is not shy: "I said yes, and my mother said that after my eldest brother gets married, she will arrange the marriage between the two of us."
Shen Chang'an was shocked by the sudden good news. He didn't speak for a long time and could only laugh stupidly. Gu Xiyu was also amused by his silly look, biting her lips and laughing.
I don't know how long it took before Shen Changan came to his senses and asked anxiously: "When will your eldest brother get married?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head: "I don't know this."
...Brother-in-law, you might as well get married this year! Then it will be my and Sister Gu’s turn next year! Shen Changan muttered to himself. Before he could finish thinking, a familiar figure appeared at the door of Songtao Courtyard. .
Shen Changan almost formed a conditioned reflex. When he saw that indifferent face, his scalp went numb. He stopped smiling without thinking.
Gu Xiyu also noticed that there was something different in the atmosphere. She turned around and immediately shouted happily: "Brother, why are you free to come today?" The person who came was naturally Gu Xinian, who had not shown up in the past few days.
"I've finished my business at the official office today, so I just stopped by to take a look." Gu Xinian walked in with a smile, glanced at Shen Chang'an lightly, and exchanged lukewarm greetings: "Why is Mr. Shen here today?"
Shen Changan immediately apologized enthusiastically: "I heard that Zijun was injured, so I came here to visit." If he had known that Gu Xiyu was also in Zheng Guogong's mansion, he would have come a few days earlier! (To be continued.
