Mrs. Zheng glanced at her son who was smiling brightly, and finally felt a little sour in her heart.
This brat had been kind to him with all his heart for so many years, but he didn't take it seriously. Now it's better, just because he is gentle and kind to his new daughter-in-law, he smiles so happily...
Ye Qinglan served tea to the second master Gu Bo again. Gu Bo and Gu Hong had similar faces, but completely different temperaments. Gu Hong was calm and steady, while Gu Bo talked and laughed happily. Although he was middle-aged, his appearance and figure were extremely well maintained.
Okay. He looks like he is thirty-two or thirteen years old.
When Gu Bo took the tea cup, he looked at Ye Qinglan and said with a smile: "Xinian has married a good wife." In Gu Bo's eyes, to marry a wife, you must marry a beautiful woman, family background, character, etc. are not the most important.
...Those who knew Gu Bo's temper laughed secretly. But Mrs. Sun glanced at Gu Bo slightly unhappily.
After serving tea to the elders, the next step is to meet the sisters-in-law and uncles one by one.
With the elders and younger ones in order, Ye Qinglan first met with Gu Shengnian and his wife. Gu Shengnian was a few years older than Gu Xinian, and his appearance was probably inherited from his biological mother, so he was not similar to Gu Xinian. He had straight and handsome features and a handsome face.
A kind smile.
The woman next to him is his wife Fan. This Fan is one year older than Gu Shengnian, and she is quite pretty. However, after all, she has given birth to three children, and her figure is not slim.
, the clothes were very bright. Seeing the smile on Ye Qinglan's face, she called her "younger brother and sister" one after another, very affectionately.
However, Ye Qinglan's impression of Mrs. Fan was not very good. It was the first time they met, and they had a subtle sister-in-law relationship. She acted so warm and polite, which always made people feel a little false. As for her true temperament
How that will happen remains to be seen slowly in the future.
In comparison, Zhang Yue behaved very decently. She and Ye Qinglan had met several times before they got married. They were not particularly familiar with each other, but they had always talked. When they met,
She smiled politely and called "cousin". She was neither rude nor deliberately showing her closeness. She fully demonstrated the reserve and politeness of a lady from a famous family.
Ye Qinglan responded with the same polite smile. But she secretly thought that she would be able to interact with Zhang Yue more in the future.
Gu Xiyu waited eagerly for a long time, and finally it was her turn. She happily stepped forward and shouted: "Sister-in-law!" The voice was crisp and loud, full of joy.
There was a smile in Ye Qinglan's eyes and she called "Sister Xiyu".
To be honest, Ye Qinglan feels a little awkward calling her Gu Xiyu like this. But now she is indeed Gu Xiyu's sister-in-law. You have to get used to this title if you are not used to it.
After such greetings and greetings, Ye Qinglan finally passed the first step of entering.
The men went to the study, while all the women stayed in the main hall to talk. There were quite a few chairs in the main hall. Unfortunately, Ye Qinglan didn't have a chance to sit down, so she could only stand behind her mother-in-law with a low eyebrow. Next to her was Fan.
Zhang Yue did not have a serious mother-in-law, so she stood behind Mrs. Sun.
Gu Xiyu was originally sitting, but when she saw Ye Qinglan standing, she also stood over. She stood close to Ye Qinglan and asked in a low voice: "Have you had breakfast?"
...I spent all my time in bed. I was in a hurry to serve tea, and there was no time for breakfast.
Ye Qinglan hadn't felt it before. When Gu Xiyu mentioned it, she suddenly felt hungry. She swallowed quietly before shaking her head at Gu Xiyu.
Gu Xiyu immediately said: "I happen to be hungry too, why not go back and eat some snacks to cushion my stomach."
Although Ye Qinglan was moved, she did not nod. Sun kept paying attention to her every move from the corner of his eye, waiting eagerly to catch her pigtails. At this time, it is better to be honest and calm! If you are hungry, you will be fine in a while...
Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Xiyu felt a little strange and was about to ask in a low voice. Sun's voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Ye, what are you muttering about when the elders are talking? You are indeed a concubine, and you have no manners at all."
Understand!"
...She was obviously the one talking, so why did her grandmother scold Ye Qinglan? Gu Xiyu was unhappy and was about to open her mouth to retort, but her sleeve was quickly pulled.
Gu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, then heard Ye Qinglan beside her respond meekly: "What grandma taught me is that my granddaughter-in-law knew she was wrong."
Ye Qinglan admitted her mistake so quickly, but Sun, who was ready to say something unpleasant, couldn't say anything anymore. She couldn't help but snorted, and her face was really not good-looking.
Mrs. Zheng coughed and smoothed things over with a smile: "Qinglan has always been on good terms with Yu'er. We haven't seen each other for a few months, so it's inevitable that she has some thoughtful things to say..."
"You used to just dote on Yu'er, but now that your daughter-in-law has come in, are you planning to doting on her?" Sun's unhappiness that had accumulated since early in the morning finally found a reason to show up, and she said lukewarmly:
"I have learned a lot today!"
Mrs. Zheng has been with Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, and has long been accustomed to Sun's acrimony. But in front of all the juniors, her face was burning when she was ridiculed and scolded by Sun.
Zhang Yue and Fan lowered their heads in unison. They could neither intervene in the verbal disputes between the elders nor show an attitude of watching the fun. Keeping their heads down and saying nothing was the most correct choice for Ming Zhe to protect themselves.
Gu Xiyu was not good at words. Although she was very angry when she heard this, she couldn't think of anything to say in response.
The anger in Ye Qinglan's heart surged up. It was clear that Mr. Sun was deliberately looking for trouble, so he just came after her. Why should he vent his anger on Mrs. Zheng?
Ye Qinglan took a deep breath, took a step forward, and apologized respectfully: "It's all because of my granddaughter-in-law's fault, which made my grandma unhappy. Please punish me grandma, but my granddaughter-in-law will not complain at all!" Didn't Mrs. Sun just want to give her a favor?
Do you want to show off your power? She must cooperate well!
Mrs. Sun looked over and responded with a smile: "Since you know your mistake and accept the punishment, I want to ask you where you went wrong? In case I really punish you and you are not convinced. Then.
Crying and complaining behind my back!"
...As expected, he is a master who goes beyond the limits!
Ye Qinglan sneered in her heart, but the expression on her face became more and more respectful: "Grandma said this, which really makes grandson daughter-in-law ashamed. Grandma daughter-in-law just came in yesterday, and she has only met all the elders today. Please forgive grandson daughter-in-law for being stupid,
For the moment I can’t figure out what I did wrong to make my grandmother unhappy. I hope my grandma can teach my granddaughter-in-law more so that she doesn’t make the same mistake again and again.”
…
These words seemed to be gentle, but in fact they were thorny. They were secretly mocking Mr. Sun for deliberately seeking trouble. Mr. Sun couldn't help hearing it, and his face suddenly turned half black.
The looks Zhang Yue and Fan gave were complicated and subtle, but Mrs. Zheng listened very happily.
Mrs. Sun has a short temper and loves to get angry. Except for Gu Youhe, the Duke of Dingguo, everyone in the mansion obeys her, and no one dares to say a word "no" in front of her. As a daughter-in-law, I don't know how much she has suffered.
He has a leisurely attitude. He just has a soft temper and is used to being patient. Unexpectedly, Ye Qinglan only used a few light words to silence Mr. Sun.
Well, my son has indeed married a good daughter-in-law!
Sun's anger was brewing in her eyes, and just when it was about to explode, Gu Xinian suddenly came in.
He seemed not to notice the awkward and stagnant atmosphere in the hall, with a relaxed look on his face: "Grandma, Qinglan and I got up today and came over before we had time to have breakfast. There is still an hour before lunch, so she and I will go first
Go back to Yunxuan and come back later."
...It’s clear that the rescue has come!
Mrs. Sun couldn't take a breath and couldn't swallow it, and her face looked ugly: "Okay, okay, take your wife away quickly!" Not to mention, Mrs. Sun didn't even feel embarrassed towards her son and daughter-in-law.
But when it comes to Gu Xinian, he loses a third of his confidence.
Gu Xinian pretended not to see Mrs. Sun's ugly face and responded with a smile. He winked quickly at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan immediately understood and resigned together with Gu Xinian.
After leaving Shunyitang, Ye Qinglan let out a long sigh of relief. If Gu Xinian hadn't arrived in time, I really don't know how it would have ended next!
"Aren't you talking with my grandfather and the others in the study? Why did you come here suddenly?" Ye Qinglan asked curiously.
Gu Xinian suppressed his smile a little and looked slightly cold: "When you were serving tea, my grandmother deliberately made things difficult for you. If I were not here, it would be strange for her to make things worse. I was worried, so I came here to take a look. I didn't expect it was just right.
We met!" As soon as Ye Qinglan passed the door, Sun deliberately scolded her in front of everyone, which was obviously intentional.
Ye Qinglan didn't take it to heart, and even said with a playful smile: "Don't worry, it's good if I don't make others angry. It's not easy for anyone to want my leisure time to go in vain!" The person who was shaking with anger just now was not him.
!
The anger slowly rising in Gu Xinian's heart immediately dissipated after hearing these words.
Yes, this girl is very sharp-tongued and has never been a loser. If Sun hadn't taken advantage of her status, she wouldn't be her match with her little skills.
"In addition to saying hello from now on, try to stay away from grandma as much as possible." Gu Xinian thought for a while and warned: "No matter how articulate you are, after all, there are differences between elders and younger ones. If you face each other head-on, you will inevitably suffer." There is a hidden meaning in his light words.
Deep concern.
Ye Qinglan felt so sweet in her heart that she rarely refuted, but agreed obediently.
That well-behaved and obedient look made Gu Xinian feel itchy in his heart. He leaned close to her, and using the cover of his wide sleeves and robe, he quietly held her hand.
Ye Qinglan struggled briefly and then let him go. They were husband and wife now, and no one would care about them even if they held hands all day long.
His hands were slender and strong, and very warm. It seemed like waves of electricity were transmitted from his palms to hers, and then spread to her heart. The two of them had known each other for so long, and they had done more intimate things. But this was so simple.
Holding hands is particularly thrilling.
At this moment, the dizzy and unreal feeling from yesterday to now has truly faded away.
The two of them are really a couple. They hold hands and grow old together! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
