After the wedding banquet, Ye Qinglan quietly led Gu Xiyu to her room.
The noise outside was cut off by the thick door panel, and the room was quiet and peaceful. Gu Xiyu breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's finally quiet."
Ye Qinglan laughed and joked: "Why, you still don't like crowded places?"
Gu Xiyu nodded honestly: "I don't like it at all."
Ever since Mrs. Zheng noticed that her withdrawn temper had improved, she would take her out as a guest from time to time. In fact, she didn't like staying with those aristocratic women at all.
"...I would rather stay in Lengyue Pavilion every day." Gu Xiyu said with a depressed look on her face: "But my mother always forces me to go out with her as a guest. I don't want to go out at all, and I don't want to chat with those unfamiliar people.
say."
In fact, Mrs. Zheng originally planned to take her to Duke Zheng's Mansion today to congratulate her. But Gu Xiyu wanted to come to Uncle Changyuan's Mansion more, so she begged Gu Xinian to take her there.
Ye Qinglan smiled and reassured: "Cousin Xiyu, my aunt is doing this for your own good. In the past, you didn't like to go out, and your reputation was always not very good. Now that my aunt is taking you out as a guest, she also hopes that those rumors will be put to rest."
Gu Xiyu muttered softly: "I don't care what others say."
"You don't care now, because you stay in the boudoir every day and don't need to pay attention to other people's eyes." Ye Qinglan said gently: "But you will always get married in the future. After you get married, you have to be a good daughter-in-law and a good wife.
You have to learn to manage the inner house and take care of trivial matters, and you have to learn to socialize with people. Auntie is doing this now because she is planning for your future..."
When Gu Xiyu heard this, her face dropped even more, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
Ye Qinglan was sensitive to her depression and asked softly: "What's wrong? Do you not like these things?"
Gu Xiyu hummed. It is true that she likes Shen Changan and is willing to marry him in the future. But this does not mean that she will also like all the trivial matters that she will face after getting married!
"It would be nice if I didn't have to get married." Gu Xiyu murmured to herself: "From now on, I will live in Lengyue Pavilion and can stay with my father, mother and eldest brother. However, my mother said that women always have to get married when they grow up.
If you stay in the house all the time, you will be laughed at. Your future sister-in-law will also find it difficult to get along with an unmarried sister-in-law..." At this point, Gu Xiyu looked at Ye Qinglan expectantly: "You will
If you become my sister-in-law, will you not like me as your sister-in-law?"
Looking at those watery eyes like this, Ye Qinglan's heart was already softened, and she responded with a smile: "Of course not. You are gentle, kind and cute, it's not too late for me to love you! How could I not like you.
If you don't want to get married early, then just wait another two years."
Gu Xiyu was coaxed and beamed: "Then I will tell my mother when I get back. When you marry my eldest brother, why not live with me in the Lengyue Pavilion. We will live and eat together day and night as before."
Ye Qinglan: "..."
Seeing that she didn't agree, Gu Xiyu's face fell again: "I knew you were coaxing me just now. You became my sister-in-law, but you only like your eldest brother and don't like me."
Ye Qinglan couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how to explain this troublesome problem.
Gu Xiyu has just begun to understand love affairs between men and women, and is still stuck in childish love. She doesn’t understand what love between a man and a woman is...
Ye Qinglan could only say: "This is absolutely impossible! I like Cousin Gu. I also like you. These two kinds of likes are completely different. Just like you like Shen Chang'an and you like me. These two feelings must be completely different. They are different, and they won’t affect each other. You won’t dislike me because of him, and you won’t dislike him because of me!”
With this explanation, Gu Xiyu finally understood it, and then she diligently pursued the root cause: "If that's the case, then why can't you live with me in the Lengyue Pavilion from now on?"
Ye Qinglan explained patiently: "When I get married, I will become husband and wife with my cousin Gu. Since we are husband and wife, we should live together and be together day and night. Only in this way can we live in love and harmony. If I go to Lengyue Pavilion to live with you, others will They would think that Cousin Gu and I are not on good terms."
Gu Xiyu's ability to understand is much better than before, and she seems to have some enlightenment after hearing these words: "Then when you marry the eldest brother, you will have to be with him every day, right?"
Ye Qinglan stared at Gu Xiyu tenderly: "Not just me, if you marry Shen Changan in two years, you will also be with him day and night."
Gu Xiyu looked confused, but still nodded.
Ye Qinglan originally wanted to further popularize "community knowledge about husband and wife" for her, but then she thought, some things were said too early, and it would not be beautiful if she scared Gu Xiyu. It would be better to wait until Gu Xiyu gets married in the future and then tell her in detail. Listen up!
It was a rare time for the two to get together, and they had endless things to say. Unknowingly, time slipped away quietly. It was not until the deafening sound of firecrackers came that Ye Qinglan suddenly realized that the wedding team had returned!
"Would you like to go see the newlyweds' worship hall?" Ye Qinglan asked with a smile.
Gu Xiyu actually didn't like to go to crowded places, but she was very interested in newcomers visiting the church. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded.
The wedding hall was located in the main hall of Hefeng Courtyard. Ye Sheng and Mr. Jiang sat at the top with smiles on their faces, followed closely by Mr. and Mrs. Ye Chengli. A group of relatives and friends crowded into the wedding hall, chattering and laughing.
Standing in the middle are today's groom and bride.
Ye Yuanzhou has a slender figure and a handsome face, and his bright red wedding dress makes him look full of energy. Although the bride standing next to him is wearing a hijab and cannot see her face clearly, she has a graceful figure and looks very good with Ye Yuanzhou standing next to her.
Xi Niang's face was filled with joy and she raised her voice and said: "The auspicious time has come. The newlyweds will bow to the heaven and the earth, the second bow to the high hall, and the husband and wife to each other..."
Ye Yuanzhou had been taught and warned before, and now he did everything without any confusion. At such a noisy and festive moment, Ye Yuanzhou's heart was undoubtedly happy. But for some reason, there was an indescribable feeling deep in his heart. emptiness……
Ye Yuanzhou took a deep breath and shook off the slightest emotion in his mind.
Under Xi Niang's command, the newlyweds quickly got married and entered the new house. There were many people who entered the new house to join in the fun, mostly young men and women, and some who were curious about the bride's appearance. They all poured in. In the new house.
Gu Xinian originally wanted to go to the new house together to watch the excitement. The bride Zheng Min is his cousin, and it is nothing unusual to see him since he was a child. However, it would be wonderful if he could get close to Ye Qinglan and say a few words while there are many people. But...
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was destined to fail.
The future father-in-law Ye Chengli specially called him over and politely asked him to chat with several distinguished guests. These distinguished guests were all important officials in the Ministry of Personnel. In addition to Xie Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, there were two other officials Minister of the Ministry, everyone came to congratulate me today, of course, not only for Ye Chengli’s face.
Ye Chengli knew this very well, so he simply directed his prospective son-in-law Gu Xinian to help greet the guests.
At such a critical moment, Gu Xinian naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly cheered up and had a good time. He also wanted to marry his daughter home as soon as possible, and of course he would spare no effort to "unify" his future father-in-law.
Xie Shangshu is now a member of the Prince's faction, and has many opportunities to interact with Gu Xinian. Naturally, he does not dare to underestimate Gu Shilang, who looks gentle but is actually shrewd and capable. Even though he is already a second-rank official, he is
In front of Gu Xinian, he didn't dare to show off at all, but instead he was extremely warm and friendly.
The two ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were also people with high aspirations. However, they had all experienced Gu Xinian's power in the court. Seeing that Xie Shangshu was so polite, they dared to put on any airs, calling each other "Gu Shilang"
Not to mention being affectionate too much. Even Ye Chengli was easy-going and affectionate a lot.
Everyone knows how Ye Chengli, the official doctor, came to be. However, this is how it is in the officialdom. It is very common to take advantage of the situation to rise to the top. Not only will it not cause criticism, but many people will secretly be jealous of him behind his back.
Who allowed Ye Chengli to give birth to a good daughter, and then she got into such a good marriage in the Duke of Dingguo? With the Gu family in the court, it was only a matter of time that Ye Chengli's career would be stable and prosperous!
…
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu arrived at the new house. Because there were so many people in the new house and it was crowded, they couldn't squeeze in. They simply stood on tiptoe at the door.
Under the clamor of the crowd, Ye Yuanzhou used the wedding pole to lift the bride's hijab.
The bride's face was flushed, she shyly raised her eyes to look at Ye Yuanzhou, and then quickly lowered her eyelids.
There was constant playfulness in my ears: "The bride is as beautiful as a flower, but our brother Yuanzhou is a perfect match."
"Yes, yes, they are a match made in heaven."
…
Ye Yuanzhou smiled naturally after listening to these compliments and teasings. The bride's appearance was what he expected. She was not particularly beautiful, but she was also dignified and beautiful. After all, she was born as a concubine and did not have that kind of attractive temperament.
.However, it looks very docile and gentle.
He should be content with having such a wife. Her background, background and appearance are enough to match him!
But somehow, the feeling of emptiness deep in my heart not only did not disappear, but gradually dispersed...
Ye Yuanzhou listened to the people around him talking and laughing a little absent-mindedly, his eyes drifting away unconsciously. Whose face he was looking for, even he couldn't tell clearly.
…
Separated by so many people, Ye Qinglan's figure was almost negligible. But surprisingly, Ye Yuanzhou quickly caught the beautiful face and the smile at the corners of his lips and eyes through the crowd of people.
A trace of confusion flashed in Ye Yuanzhou's eyes.
Ye Qinglan was secretly frightened. She lowered her head almost without thinking and said to Gu Xiyu: "It's too noisy here. Let's go! Find a quiet place to talk."
