Shen Changan's heart was in his throat when he heard this, and he looked at Mrs. Zheng eagerly.
Mrs. Zheng's hesitation was not long. If you used a stopwatch to measure the time, it would only last about ten seconds. But this short moment was the most difficult thing Shen Changan had ever endured in his life.
Mrs. Zheng finally smiled and said slowly: "Although there are no elders here, the proper etiquette is still indispensable."
Shen Changan only felt that his throat was dry, and even after moving his lips for a long time, he could not utter a single word.
Meng Zijun rolled his eyes secretly in his heart and could only open his mouth to help: "Please rest assured, aunt and uncle, Brother Shen will definitely handle this matter properly and will never wrong cousin Xiyu."
Shen Changan finally came to his senses, and Le Dianding responded: "Yes, yes, yes, I will go find the official media to propose marriage today when I go back."
Mrs. Zheng glanced at the overjoyed Shen Changan and sighed secretly in her heart. To be honest, she still disliked Shen Changan. But who can make her daughter like it? Anyway, at this point, she can no longer regret it. , just bite the bullet and recognize this future son-in-law...
What Gu Hong was thinking was no different, and he exchanged a knowing look with Mrs. Zheng.
Except for Gu Xinian, whose face was still not very good-looking, the others' faces looked much better, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare lunch. You two can stay and have lunch before leaving! Don't be dissatisfied with having tea and lunch."
Meng Zijun's mouth was sweet, and he immediately smiled and said: "As long as my aunt doesn't mind the noisy nature of the two of us, I can't wait to have dinner before leaving."
Mrs. Zheng was coaxed and pursed her lips and laughed: "You said this yourself. I will stay in the house for a good day and eat dinner before leaving." He then casually told Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan: "You two are here anyway. If you have nothing else to do, just spend more time with them today."
Gu Xinian looked unhappy and said nothing. Seeing that it was going to be embarrassing again, Ye Qinglan immediately took over the conversation with a smile: "My daughter-in-law knows."
Now that we have finished talking about the main things, we move to the dining room.
These few people naturally did not have the distinction of men and women sitting separately, so they just sat down around the round table. Logically speaking, Ye Qinglan should have sat next to Gu Xinian. But she did not want to talk to Gu Xinian in front of Meng Zijun. Showing affection, Xi Nian simply sat down next to Mrs. Zheng and said with a smile: "On weekdays, I don't have such a good opportunity to be attentive. Today, in front of two distinguished guests, my mother-in-law has to allow my daughter-in-law to show off."
Mrs. Zheng was amused and joked with a smile: "You said this yourself. Don't complain secretly in your heart when you feel tired and annoyed later."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law played tricks, and everyone laughed knowingly. Gu Xinian stared at Ye Qinglan, with unmistakable joy and pride in his eyes.
It was the first time for Meng Zijun to see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along, and he was a little moved.
Mrs. Zheng's gentleness and casualness are by no means fake, and the smile in Ye Qinglan's eyes is clear and bright. It can be seen that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really get along very well. It seems that Ye Qinglan's life in Dingguo Palace is indeed good. .....
After a meal, Meng Zijun confirmed his judgment.
Ye Qinglan did not deliberately flatter Mrs. Zheng, but the intimacy and respect in her expression were obvious. Mrs. Zheng was not particularly gentle towards Ye Qinglan, but was very casual. From this, it can be seen that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very harmoniously.
Sure enough, Ye Qinglan is still the same long-sleeved, dancing and smart Ye Qinglan, who can always easily win the love of others. Even her mother-in-law, who is supposed to be difficult to deal with, loves her very much!
Ye Qinglan occasionally raised her eyes and happened to meet Meng Zijun's gaze. His eyes were undoubtedly happy, a little complicated and a little sad, but Ye Qinglan seemed to know what he was thinking. She blinked playfully.
I will live a good life, so Captain Meng doesn’t have to worry about anything!
Meng Zijun burst into laughter. He put away all the chaotic thoughts and raised the wine glass to toast Gu Hong in a decent manner. When the men arrived at the dinner table, they would inevitably have a few drinks and talk about things in the court. The atmosphere
Gradually it became lively.
Ye Qinglan and Mrs. Zheng couldn't say anything for a while, so they simply concentrated on eating. They were full soon. They put down their chopsticks and started talking in a low voice.
"Sister Xiyu has been staying in Lengyue Pavilion today. I don't know if she has had lunch at this time." Ye Qinglan mentioned Gu Xiyu intentionally or unintentionally.
As expected, Mrs. Zheng was aroused to cherish her daughter: "When I have time later, I will go to Lengyue Pavilion to see her."
Ye Qinglan immediately smiled and said: "It's better for my daughter-in-law to come over. If sister Xiyu feels that staying in the yard is too boring, I will accompany her to the garden."
Mrs. Zheng was startled: "But don't you have to accompany the guests later..." After saying this, she already understood and gave Ye Qinglan an angry look: "You are really fooling around."
We are about to discuss marriage, so there is no reason to meet casually.
Although Mrs. Zheng's tone was a little unhappy, she was not very firm.
After being together for so long, Ye Qinglan already knows Mrs. Zheng's temperament very well. Mrs. Zheng has always been soft-hearted and dotes on her children. When Gu Xinian wants to marry herself, who is a concubine, Mrs. Zheng doesn't object at all.
.Not to mention how accommodating to Gu Xiyu! Take today's matter as an example, if it were another famous lady, she would never take the initiative to hint that the man came to propose marriage. But Mrs. Zheng is like this
I did it! After all, isn’t it because you love your daughter?
Therefore, Ye Qinglan is almost 80% sure that in the end, Mrs. Zheng will definitely nod and agree to let Gu Xiyu and Shen Changan meet!
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and sat quietly next to Mrs. Zheng without much persuasion.
After a moment, Mrs. Zheng softened her tone and asked in a low voice: "Does Yu'er really want to see him?"
Ye Qinglan nodded lightly, lowered her voice and said, "Sister Xiyu knew he was coming and has been very happy these past two days. If we can meet him, she will definitely be very happy."
Mrs. Zheng was a little hesitant. It was indeed inappropriate for a man and a woman who were about to get engaged to meet in private... But when she thought about it again, what could be more important than her daughter's happiness?
"You are already full, why not go to Lengyue Pavilion to see her now." Mrs. Zheng hinted very implicitly.
Ye Qinglan suppressed her laughter and responded respectfully. Then she excused herself and walked out of the dining room. She hurried all the way to Lengyue Pavilion.
At this time, Gu Xiyu was sitting blankly in front of the window. She didn't know what she was thinking about, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
A familiar footsteps came from behind: "Why are you sitting here alone in a daze? Where is the Moxiang Jade Man, isn't he here to accompany you?"
Gu Xiyu came back to her senses and smiled absently: "The two of them were originally here to accompany me. Later, I thought they were too noisy, so I asked them to retreat and rest first."
Too noisy? Ye Qinglan couldn't stop laughing: "Jade is quite talkative, but I remember that Mo Xiang is quiet. Why do you think she is noisy? I think it's true that you are upset."
Gu Xiyu's thoughts in front of Ye Qinglan were almost like the clear water surface, and she could see the bottom with just one glance. Her eyes were bright and her cheeks were red, she was clearly thinking about her sweetheart.
Gu Xiyu was impressed, so she was not too shy. Instead, she sighed: "I haven't seen him for almost half a year. To be honest, I really miss him! He came to the house today, but I didn't
It’s really frustrating to think about it when I have the opportunity to meet him.”
Ye Qinglan cherished this innocent girl the most. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "It's not difficult to see him."
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up: "Sister-in-law, are you going to take me to see him?"
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "Of course, as long as you want to see him, I will make arrangements for you later."
Gu Xiyu nodded repeatedly. She had no reserve or shyness of a girl to be married. Although she was sixteen years old and had her first love affair, Gu Xiyu's innocent and simple temperament had never changed. This was what Ye Qinglan liked the most.
"Then you go and eat obediently." Ye Qinglan deliberately teased her: "If you don't eat, I won't take you anywhere."
Gu Xiyu's eyes widened unconsciously: "Sister-in-law, how do you know I haven't had lunch!" In those black and white eyes, there was great wonder and confusion, as well as unabashed admiration and adoration.
Ye Qinglan scraped her nose affectionately: "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's a guess." Whenever Gu Xiyu is worried, she always refuses to eat. This is also Gu Xiyu's old problem, she is almost intimate.
Everyone knows.
Just as he was talking, Mo Xiang came in with hot food.
With such good news, Gu Xiyu's mood suddenly improved. She sat down at the table obediently and ate two bowls of rice before putting down her chopsticks.
Guessing that the time was almost up, Ye Qinglan called Ruomei in and whispered a warning. Ruomei understood and took the order.
Gu Xiyu didn't care about anything, she just looked at Ye Qinglan with her shiny eyes: "Sister-in-law, should we leave now?"
Ye Qinglan smiled and reassured: "Don't be impatient. I just told Ruomei to go to Jingxinyuan and ask where they will go later. We will just go there and have a chance encounter."
Gu Xiyu hummed obediently.
After waiting for a while, Ruomei hurried back and whispered something in Ye Qinglan's ear.
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded, took Gu Xiyu's hand and walked out. Gu Xiyu didn't ask any questions and just followed Ye Qinglan out of Lengyue Pavilion.
The garden of Duke Dingguo's Mansion is very large. If you don't know the general route, you may not encounter it even if you walk for a long time. Ye Qinglan led Gu Xiyu to stroll around slowly for a while, and then sat down in a pavilion next to the rockery.
Gu Xiyu finally couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, where are the others?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of footsteps came over.
Gu Xiyu's heart moved, she turned around and looked over, and happened to meet those shocked and ecstatic eyes.
