Ye Qinglan was secretly wondering. All the scrolls in this room were placed neatly, and they were obviously sorted out every day. Why was this one thrown in the corner?
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but walked over and picked up the scroll from the ground. Just as she was about to open it, Gu Xiyu suddenly said: "Don't look at it."
Ye Qinglan was startled and stopped what he was doing.
From the time she came in until now, no matter which painting it was, Gu Xiyu opened it for her to see without hesitation. What is going on now?
Gu Xiyu's eyes flashed with obvious disgust and rejection: "I don't like her."
She? Which she?
Ye Qinglan was confused after hearing this, and then she suddenly understood. The painting in her hand must be of Shen Qiuyu. Gu Xiyu didn't like Shen Qiuyu, so she stopped her from looking at the painting!
"The picture above is Concubine Shen, right?" Ye Qinglan asked tentatively.
Gu Xiyu nodded and her words were extremely concise: "Yes."
With Gu Xiyu's character of cherishing words like gold, she actually said three sentences in a row, which is really rare. It seems that she really doesn't hate this Shen Qiuyu at all. What has Shen Qiuyu done to offend him? Is Gu Xiyu so disgusted?
Ye Qinglan's thoughts were racing, but she said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't like her, I won't like her in the future either. I won't look at this painting." As he said that, he gently put the scroll on the shelf.
This move obviously pleased Gu Xiyu. She laughed, as childish and cute as a child.
Ye Qinglan also smiled, but secretly felt regretful in her heart.
To be honest, she was extremely curious about this painting. She really wanted to see what Shen Qiuyu looked like in Gu Xinian's painting. However, in order to make Gu Xiyu happy, she had to reluctantly give up this impulse.
After leaving Izuyunxuan, Gu Xiyu was also a little tired.
Ye Qinglan smiled empathetically and said: "I feel tired too, can you go back and rest for a while?"
Gu Xiyu smiled and nodded, but she held Ye Qinglan's hand tightly. Ever since she was a child, she had lived alone in her own little world and had never really gotten along with girls of the same age. Now suddenly They have friends, and they fall in love with Ye Qinglan just like a chick clings to its mother when it hatches from its shell.
Ye Qinglan simply couldn't resist such a look of attachment and trust. She held Gu Xiyu's hand with her backhand and said, "I'll go back with you to rest."
Gu Xiyu was indeed very happy, her eyes lit up and she smiled sweetly.
She was extremely beautiful, and her sweet smile was as bright as the spring flowers blooming all over the mountain. Even though Ye Qinglan was of the same sex, she was powerless to resist.
God really loves these brothers and sisters, and they both have such outstanding looks. If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xiyu suffered from autism and refused to be close to people, I am afraid that the limelight would have been overshadowed by Ye Qingning, Luo Miaoke and other noble ladies in the capital.
After arriving at Lengyue Pavilion, Gu Xiyu went back to the bedroom to rest. Ye Qinglan did not follow him into the bedroom and only rested in the guest room for a while.
At the moment of the hour, Mrs. Huang came and said with a smile: "Madam, I ordered my old slave to tell you that I will invite you and your cousin to the Jingxin Hall later. The old lady wants to see your cousin!"
Ye Qinglan responded with a smile. Listening to Huang's mother's tone, this old lady must be Mrs. Sun of Dingguo Gong.
The maids were busy redressing Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu already had a good appearance. She only changed into a brighter dress and her whole body looked brighter.
Ye Qinglan smiled and praised a few words. Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly said: "You should also change clothes."
Ye Qinglan laughed dumbly: "I don't need to change." Not to mention that she didn't bring many new clothes at all, and the clothes were all placed in Jing Xinyuan's guest room, so she wouldn't let the maids make a fuss about changing into new clothes.
Go get it! That would be too public.
If you want to be a competent "green leaf", it's better to keep a low profile.
Gu Xiyu was very persistent and still looked at Ye Qinglan without saying anything.
Ye Qinglan could only say perfunctorily: "The clothes I brought are all stored in Jingxinyuan. I don't have to change them if I want to."
Gu Xiyu glanced at Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang had served Gu Xiyu for several years and almost immediately understood what Gu Xiyu meant. She was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Miss Cousin, I made a lot of new clothes a few days ago.
Just pick whatever you want and put it on."
How is this possible!
Ye Qinglan hurriedly declined: "No, how can I wear my cousin's new clothes..."
The two have almost the same figure, but if she really wears Gu Xiyu's clothes to Jingxin Hall, what will Mrs. Zheng think? What will Mrs. Sun think? I'm afraid that from now on she will have a reputation of being greedy.
.
Gu Xiyu became stubborn and looked at Ye Qinglan insistently.
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to smile bitterly and surrender: "Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you." How could Gu Xiyu think so much? She just wanted to be good to herself.
Such a pure friendship in front of her even made her feel guilty and ashamed. She just did what a psychiatrist should do, but Gu Xiyu completely opened her world to welcome her.
Gu Xiyu raised the corners of her lips slightly when she saw Ye Qinglan finally compromised.
When Mo Xiang saw Gu Xiyu being so happy, she immediately put away her unhappiness. As long as the lady is happy, a new dress is nothing.
"Ms. Cousin, here are the young lady's new clothes. You can pick them out at will." Mo Xiang and Jade each carried out a thick pile of new clothes.
Ye Qinglan was used to seeing Ye Qingning wearing new clothes every day, so she wasn't too surprised. She took a brief look at it, then pointed to the top dress with a smile: "That's it."
The colors of Gu Xiyu's dresses are very elegant, mainly pink, green and light yellow. Ye Qinglan chose a moon-white short skirt paired with a light green long skirt. They are all embroidered with dark patterns with silk threads of the same color, which can't be seen at first glance.
It's eye-catching, but it's very delicate when you look closely. I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but it is particularly soft and comfortable.
Ye Qinglan came out wearing new clothes, and everyone felt their eyes lit up.
Mo Xiang couldn't help but praise: "This dress seems to be tailor-made for my cousin, it fits so well!" Unlike Gu Xiyu's eye-catching beauty, Ye Qinglan stands as graceful as a refined and fresh orchid.
Gu Xiyu was not jealous at all, but happily took Ye Qinglan's hand.
This kind of physical intimacy that was extremely disgusting in the past is now very natural for Gu Xiyu. Of course, this does not mean that Gu Xiyu's autism has improved, it just means that Gu Xiyu has truly accepted Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu went to Jingxinyuan together first.
Mrs. Zheng had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the two people coming, she stood up with a smile. Then her eyes turned to Ye Qinglan's dress and she said with a smile: "You two are really destined to have similar bodies."
The tone was relaxed and natural, and she was obviously not annoyed because Ye Qinglan was wearing Gu Xiyu's new clothes - of course, even if she was a little unhappy in her heart, Mrs. Zheng's power would never show it on her face.
Ye Qinglan smiled and said: "Yeah, I really didn't expect it to fit so well! When my cousin lent me new clothes, I was worried that I would step on the corners of the skirt and fall if I wore them!"
What he said was so funny that all the maids and women in the room turned their heads and snickered.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but laugh, and said casually: "I didn't think carefully enough. Mother Huang, let the steward of Jinzhi Workshop come over tomorrow to measure Miss Cousin's size and make some new clothes."
Ye Qinglan was shocked and declined hastily: "No, I brought a lot of changes of clothes..."
Mrs. Zheng smiled kindly and said: "You only plan to stay here for a few days, and you don't bring much clothes at all. Since you are going to stay for more than a month, the clothes will not be enough. You won't go back to Changyuan Bo just for a few clothes."
I'll go to the house to get it. Then your aunt will make fun of me for being a stingy aunt." After a pause, he smiled and said, "Just don't worry, I won't be unable to afford food just because of this little money."
She deliberately made fun of her, and the maids and women all laughed.
Ye Qinglan couldn't refuse anymore, so she could only accept Mrs. Zheng's kindness with a smile. But she secretly sighed in her heart that Mrs. Zheng was so kind to her, an insignificant concubine, because of course she cared about Xiyu.
Poor parents in the world!
In fact, even if Mrs. Zheng doesn't deliberately treat her well, she will do her best to accompany Gu Xiyu.
After a while, Gu Hong came back. It was the first time for Ye Qinglan to see this uncle in name only, and she stood up to salute and say hello.
Being able to give birth to children like Gu Xinian and Gu Xiyu, Gu Hong, as a father, is naturally not too bad. Although he is over forty, he is well maintained and looks like he is only in his thirties. His appearance is very handsome.
, every gesture exudes the charm of a mature man.
Gu Xinian's appearance resembled Gu Hong's, but he was even more handsome.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but secretly compare Gu Hong with her cheap father Ye Chengli. In terms of appearance, the two were almost the same. In terms of family background and status, Gu Hong was better. In terms of demeanor and temperament, Gu Hong left Ye Chengli far behind.
Far.
The conclusion is that innate appearance is important, but the environment in which a person grows up is more important. The eldest son of Duke Dingguo who has been cultivated by everyone is naturally much better than the bastard son of Uncle Changyuan.
Gu Hong seemed to be worried, his face was heavy, and he didn't pay too much attention to Ye Qinglan. He just nodded and asked Mrs. Zheng: "Where is the Xinian man?"
Mrs. Zheng responded: "He left the house at noon. I don't know where he went. He hasn't come back yet."
Gu Hong's face darkened and he snorted: "You've been pampering him all day long and letting him live his life in such a lazy way. A loving mother often loses her son, and this statement is absolutely true!"
Being scolded by Gu Hong in front of so many people, especially Ye Qinglan, an outsider, Mrs. Zheng's smile froze and she tried her best to be calm: "If the master has anything to say, you might as well wait until Xinian comes back and tell him in person.
.”
The responsibility for Gu Xinian becoming like this does not lie with her. If you have the ability, you can teach your son a lesson yourself. What's the point of venting your anger on her?
Gu Hong naturally heard the implication of Mrs. Zheng's words, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
