There is no doubt that Gu Xinian is handsome. Ye Qinglan has to admit that he is the most handsome man he has ever seen in his life, bar none.
There is always a faint smile on his face. This seemingly easy-going smile is like a mask, hiding all his true emotions behind the smile. Just like at this moment, he is obviously smiling, but in his eyes
His smile is elusive.
Are the words he said sincere or perfunctory?
Some men are ambitious and want to make a career, but there are also those who like to live a lazy and leisurely life. Is Gu Xinian the latter?
Ye Qinglan observed for a long time and finally came to the conclusion: this matter has nothing to do with her, so she should not waste her brain cells thinking about such a troublesome problem. Whether Gu Xinian is depressed or passive, it has nothing to do with her.
It doesn't matter. She just needs to stand far away and watch the excitement.
However, when the topic of starting a family came up, Ye Qinglan suddenly remembered that she still had something very important to do...
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xinian calmly, secretly thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to speak.
Gu Xinian seemed to be aware of Ye Qinglan's attention on him, and looked over lightly. Their eyes met in the air.
Both of them are masters at hiding their true emotions. The brief exchange of eyes could not capture the other's true emotions and thoughts. They each hummed softly in their hearts, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Xiyu was completely unaware of these hidden undercurrents, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you free today? Can you accompany me to paint?"
Gu Xinian really loved and accommodated this younger sister. Hearing this, he smiled and nodded: "Okay. By the way, did you go to my study yesterday?"
Gu Xiyu nodded and added: "Cousin Qinglan wants to see your paintings, so I will take her there."
Gu Xinian smiled, looked at Ye Qinglan, and said with a half-smile, "Oh? Does Cousin Lan also like calligraphy and painting?" His eyes were not friendly, and even showed a trace of displeasure.
As expected, he is a man with a strong sense of territoriality and hates anyone entering his territory at will. If Gu Xiyu hadn't been a shield, I'm afraid Gu Xinian would have come over with his cold eyes!
Ye Qinglan could only laugh and said: "I have long heard that cousin Gu is good at calligraphy and painting. I became curious for a while, so I begged cousin Xiyu to open my eyes. Please also ask cousin Gu not to blame me for being reckless."
Her sweet smile and gentle tone are enough to make anyone's heart melt.
However, it is obvious that Gu Xinian is not one of them.
Gu Xinian responded tepidly: "It's an honor for me that Cousin Lan is interested in my paintings. However, before you go into the study to look at my paintings next time, please let me know in advance. I can also
I have time to tidy up a little, so as not to make Cousin Lan laugh with some indecent paintings."
These words may not sound like much at first, but when you think about them carefully, they become more and more sharp.
The so-called paintings with graffiti that are unrefined could not be referring to the one thrown in the corner! It was so unfair. She put it on the shelf without even looking at it... Wait, yes
It wasn't because she casually picked up the scroll and put it on the shelf. Gu Xinian had a misunderstanding? He thought she had seen the painting?
Ye Qinglan explained innocently: "Cousin Gu misunderstood. I saw a scroll in the corner, so I picked it up and put it away without opening it..."
"Oh?" Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Thank you very much, Cousin Lan." He made it clear that he didn't believe Ye Qinglan's words at all.
Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and simply stopped talking. Although he acted gentle and casual, and seemed to be easy to talk to, it was not the case at all. He was essentially a very guarded man who did not trust others easily.
Forget it, let him think whatever he wants.
Gu Xiyu finally noticed something was wrong between the two of them this time. She thought about it seriously and said, "Brother, are you angry?" In the past, she would enter and leave his study room at will, and he never said anything.
It seems a little different this time!
Gu Xinian was very gentle to Gu Xiyu: "Don't worry, Yu'er, I'm not angry. You can go whenever you like." However, it's best not to bring "anyone else" when you go.
That "idle person" obviously understood the implication of his words, a trace of disapproval flashed in his eyes, and he curled his lips invisibly.
Gu Xinian took in all her fleeting expressions and sneered secretly in his heart.
This girl seems to be honest, but in fact she is full of evil intentions. She deliberately approaches her sister, but she doesn’t know what the evil intention is. If it weren’t for the fact that her sister likes her and she hasn’t shown anything unusual yet, he would never do this.
Let her go easily...
Mrs. Zheng's anger gradually subsided, and she finally noticed that the atmosphere when Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan were talking was a bit subtle. She was stunned at first, not knowing what she thought of, and then a smile suddenly flashed in her eyes. She opened her mouth and said, "Xinian, don't you want to
Do you want to paint with Yu'er? Then go quickly and don't waste time here with me."
Gu Xiyu happily agreed and was the first to stand up, with a relaxed and cheerful expression on her face. The gloomy haze between her brows was like a clear sky after rain, and there was no trace left.
Gu Xinian stared at Gu Xiyu's face, doubts rising in his heart.
Of course it is a good thing that Gu Xiyu has become cheerful and lively. But Ye Qinglan has only been here for a short day, how could Gu Xiyu change so much?
What exactly did Ye Qinglan do?
The group arrived at Lengyue Pavilion, and the maids were busy preparing rice paper and various paints. Gu Xiyu stood beside Gu Xinian intimately, raised her head and said, "I want to learn to draw figures."
She was already very familiar with drawing flowers, birds, insects and fish, but she could never grasp the characters very well.
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Human beings are the most difficult to draw. If you want to draw them vividly, you must not only grasp the most obvious facial features, but the most important thing is to clearly draw a person's temperament and expression. Similarity in spirit is more important than physical similarity."
Gu Xiyu was extremely talented in painting. After hearing these words, she immediately understood and nodded slowly.
Gu Xinian asked casually: "Have you decided who you want to draw?"
Gu Xiyu thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, pointing her slender fingers: "Just call me cousin Hua Lan."
…
Ye Qinglan, who was wandering in space, suddenly woke up, shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no, no, it's better not to draw me." Being a model is nothing, but Gu Xinian is watching eagerly from the side, this feeling is completely
It’s different.
When I thought about standing or sitting there without moving for a long time, and then being stared at by Gu Xinian with deep and sharp eyes, my scalp suddenly became numb.
But Gu Xiyu insisted: "I just want to draw you." Then, blinking her big watery eyes, she looked at Ye Qinglan pitifully and begged in a low voice: "Okay?"
Ye Qinglan suddenly lost the power to resist and had to raise his hands in surrender: "Okay, you can paint if you want. However, I have to declare first that I can't sit still for a long time and I have to take a break in the middle.
."
Gu Xiyu achieved her goal and smiled with satisfaction.
Although that smile cannot be said to be bright and bright, it already has the youthful charm of a girl.
Ye Qinglan looked extremely pleased and happy. As long as she could make Gu Xiyu happy, she would just sacrifice it today: "Whatever you need me to do, just ask me!"
Gu Xiyu thought for a moment and pulled Ye Qinglan out of the study. Then she walked to the swing under the tree and motioned for Ye Qinglan to sit down. Ye Qinglan had no choice but to sit down.
The warm and bright sunshine is shining through the gaps in the leaves. It is very comfortable to sit on the wide swing frame. The tree vines held in the hands are also very interesting. You can also smell the faint fragrance of flowers on the tip of your nose. If you ignore the slender figure not far away
It's really comfortable and comfortable.
Gu Xiyu looked left and right, and seemed to feel that something was missing.
"Since you are sitting on the swing, of course someone has to push the swing." Gu Xinian said with a leisurely smile: "Otherwise, the charm will be missing."
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.
Ruixue and Hongluan hurriedly came over and gently exerted force. The swing frame slowly swayed.
The breeze blew, and the skirt of the girl on the swing was flying, her hair was fluttering, and her eyes were shining like stars. The usual gentleness and calmness quietly disappeared, replaced by a cheerful look, a smile on her lips, and a pretty face like jade.
, incredibly beautiful!
Gu Xiyu suddenly had an idea, took a closer look, and secretly made a draft in her heart.
Mo Xiang had already directed the maids to bring out the painting case. Gu Xiyu walked to the painting case, thought for a moment, and then started to write.
Gu Xinian came close to Gu Xiyu and gave instructions in a low voice.
Separated from a distance, Ye Qinglan couldn't hear clearly what the two people were talking about, and could only vaguely hear some fragments of words. She listened with her ears straight at first, wanting to hear what the two people were talking about. Later, she was too lazy to
After hearing this, I simply closed my eyes and concentrated on experiencing the feeling of flying in the air.
That's a feeling of freedom.
At this moment, all the rules and restraints are left behind. There is no need to think about what to say or do, no need to worry about being seen, no need to think about anything. Just fly on the swing...
Unconsciously, the swing flew higher and higher.
Ye Qinglan only felt that her body was flying with the wind, as if she was about to break away from all the constraints at any time and fly to another world. In that world, there were her familiar friends and her beloved career...
Her eyes suddenly became a little moist.
Nothing can go back...
She is now Ye Qinglan, the tenth lady of Changyuan Bofu in the Western Song Dynasty. Everything in the past is so familiar, yet so strange. She can never go back...
"Brother, please slow down, the swing is flying too high." It was Gu Xiyu's voice.
"Don't you see Cousin Lan flying happily?" Gu Xinian's lazy voice sounded faintly.
Why is this voice so close? Ye Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes hurriedly. But she met a pair of light and gentle eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it.
