happy match

After eating and drinking, Gu Xinian was also in the mood to flirt: "Someone wants to invite you, but I'm thinking about the noodles you made with your own hands, so I came back."

Knowing that he was joking, Ye Qinglan was still sweet in her heart, and hummed softly on purpose: "My little craftsmanship, how can it compare to the chefs in those restaurants. Besides, there are not only delicious food and wine, but also delicious food and wine. Sometimes, there are beautiful and charming singers and dancers to accompany, if it were me, I would not want to leave."

This is also the practice for people in officialdom to drink and socialize.After drinking for three rounds, it is inevitable to call in a few beautiful kabuki to add to the fun.Although she knew very well that Gu Xinian would not provoke these women who threw themselves into his arms, but thinking of such a scene, no matter how generous a woman is, she would inevitably feel sour.

Gu Xinian enjoyed her slightly sour tone very much, raised his eyebrows lazily and smiled: "What's so good about those vulgar fans, if I look at them, I might as well look in the mirror myself."

...This is true, not to mention men, even women, how many people can have such a perfect appearance as Gu Xinian?Think about Gu Xinian's picky nature, if ordinary singers and dancers can catch his eyes, how could he be alone for so many years?

Thinking about it this way, she really doesn't need to worry about Gu Xinian going out to drink and socialize.

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and laughed, and asked naturally: "Who are you with tonight? Why did you come back without eating? Did you have a bad time with someone?" This question made sense. .It was obviously past meal time, but he came back without eating.No matter how you think about it, it's a bit strange!

Gu Xinian hesitated for a moment.Then he opened his mouth to tell the truth: "Actually, I am with Shen Changan tonight."

This answer was beyond Ye Qinglan's expectation: "Didn't you always dislike him? How could you be with him!"

Gu Xi young snorted: "Even now, I don't think he's pleasing to my eyes. But this time, he has to pass the message from him." He could only restrain his temper and contact Shen a few times.

Ye Qinglan is so perceptive, she knew something strange when she heard it, and after a little thought, she guessed: "He must pass the letter from it, because he is the son of General Shen! In the name of sending family letters, it is possible to convey military information or Important news will indeed not arouse suspicion. As for your contact with him, you can’t let someone who is interested in you notice. So you must meet in private. The most unobtrusive place is of course a restaurant where people come and go .I guessed right!"

Gu Xinian couldn't help laughing, and sighed half jokingly and half sincerely: "Fortunately, you are a woman. If you were born a man, you would definitely be the sharpest and most powerful opponent I have ever seen in my life!"

To Ye Qinglan, this was nothing less than the greatest compliment.

Ye Qinglan raised her head pretending to be proud: "In the future, if there is anything you can't figure out, feel free to ask me for advice. I will definitely give you my advice."

Gu Xinian smiled absent-mindedly, hugged her into his arms, and teased unscrupulously: "What a small, eloquent mouth, let me taste it for myself..."

Next...it is not suitable for children, please avoid it quickly!

In the next month or so, Gu Xinian basically never had dinner at the mansion.Ye Qinglan gradually got used to waiting for the door every night.To pass the time, he simply found a lot of books in Gu Xinian's study to read.There are everything from historical biographies, miscellaneous notes and travel notes to popular novels.Looking at it this way, I can see the fun.I don't feel that time has passed, and I often watch it with gusto, unaware that Gu Xinian has returned.

Gu Xinian didn't say anything, but he felt a little smug in his heart.Ruthlessly turned down some social engagements, and tried to return home early to accompany Ye Qinglan.Ye Qinglan knew it well in her heart, and she didn't expose this layer in her mouth.I just secretly felt it was funny and heartwarming.

Gu Xinian's habit of cherishing words like gold has gradually changed a lot in front of Ye Qinglan.Sometimes he even took the initiative to mention major events in the DPRK and China.For example, the recent frequent defeats in border wars.

"...There will be reports from the mansion every three days at the border. Recently, we have lost several battles in a row. Fortunately, there are not many casualties. However, it is enough for the emperor to be unhappy. Today, he was reprimanded by the emperor. Let the prince know." Gu Xinian's eyes flickered slightly, and there was an inscrutable smile on his lips: "The third prince, contrary to his usual tit-for-tat, helped the prince to say something nice. But the emperor was angry, what the third prince said The more there are, the more annoyed the emperor will be. If this continues, perhaps the emperor will soon deprive the prince of the post-war coordinating task as the third prince wishes, and instead hand this matter over to the third prince."

Ye Qinglan pondered over the past few days, but she vaguely guessed the scheme he and General Shen had set up, and couldn't help but secretly startled, and couldn't help but said: "The scheme you and General Shen set up is too dangerous, if one is not careful, But it was really defeated like a mountain."

Morale is something invisible and intangible, but it is very important in war.Even if it was a pre-designed feint, for those ordinary soldiers who didn't know it, it would be a series of defeats.After a long time, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably be low. Even if they want to win the battle, it may not be easy...

Regarding her concerns, Gu Xinian just smiled lightly: "It is impossible to do anything without risk. I am not proficient in things on the battlefield, but I believe that General Shen will be able to turn danger into victory at a critical moment." . ” In the case of mental arithmetic and heart, whoever can have the last laugh really needs a bit of luck.Gu Xinian believes that good luck must be on his side!

Ye Qinglan saw that his Zhizhu was full of confidence, so she didn't say anything more, but in the days that followed, she paid more and more attention to every move in the court.

With the defeat at the border, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy, and the pressure on the prince was also increasing.On the other hand, the third prince's group of people scrambled to be active.General Shen was impeached one after another, and even the crown prince who was in charge of the war planning also suffered.Disgraced by impeachment every day.The third prince is eager to try, and he has the intention of taking over and flexing his muscles.It's just that God's will is unpredictable, if the emperor doesn't open his mouth for a day, even if the third prince jumps up and down, it won't help.

The situation in the court was not calm at all, but when it was not calm, there was an even more disturbing atmosphere.Just like the low air pressure that is about to come, everyone is unconsciously worried.

The prince is busy and depressed.Under such circumstances, of course Gu Xinian couldn't afford to be idle.After finishing the affairs of the household department every day, I have to go to the Prince's Mansion and a group of colleagues to make suggestions for the Prince to appease the hearts of the people, and I am very busy.

Those who care about the border war are not only men, but even the women in the inner house have heard about it.On this day, after checking the account book, Mrs. Zheng sighed suddenly: "I don't know how long this battle will last."

Ye Qinglan comforted: "Anyway, it's thousands of miles away, even if we lose the battle, it won't affect the capital."

Mrs. Zheng's vision is much higher than Ye Qinglan imagined: "That's not what I said. Only when the border is stable can people's hearts be stable. Otherwise, people's hearts will be scattered, and the capital, as the center of the dynasty, how can it be safe?" nothing?"

Ye Qinglan didn't have to pretend to be admiring: "The mother-in-law is so far-sighted, she really makes my daughter-in-law ashamed."

Mrs. Zheng smiled: "I've lived a few more years, I've seen more than others, and I've inevitably thought more, so it's nothing to be surprised about. I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm afraid that the crown prince will fall, and Xi Nian will be implicated too. ..." All worries were revealed in the last light sigh.

At this moment, Ye Qinglan had an impulse to comfort Mrs. Zheng.Gu Xinian will not be implicated, and the one who will really suffer the misfortune should be the third prince...

When these words came out, they were finally changed to: "My lord is responsible for the preparation of food and grass. As long as the food and grass supply is sufficient and there are no mistakes, even if the army loses the battle, it can't be blamed on him. Just rest assured, mother-in-law."

It makes sense to think so.Mrs. Zheng thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing at herself: "Look at me, I've been thinking and worrying all day long. Even if we female relatives know about these things in the court, we can't do anything about them. It's better not to know anything, but Take it easy."

After a pause, he sighed again: "Actually, I'm not just worried about Xi Nian. This time the leader is General Shen. I'm just worried that if he loses again and again, maybe Shen Chang'an will also lead the army. Reinforcement at the border. It’s hard to say how long the war will be. If it’s a few months or a year or so, Yuer and so on will be fine. If it’s delayed for a long time, there will be no news for three or two years What should Yu'er do then?"

Although she still didn't like to see Shen Chang'an very much, but judging from Gu Xiyu's posture, it was likely that Shen Chang'an would not marry.If Shen Changan really led the army to the border and did not come back for several years, wouldn't it be a waste of time to delay the marriage?

Ye Qinglan took the opportunity to intercede for the two of them: "Your concerns are justified. Since that's the case, it's better to let the two of them make a marriage first. There is no need to worry about when they get married. In short, with the status of fiancée, there is no fear of delay." gone."

This makes sense.

Mrs. Zheng was obviously moved, she pondered for a long while without saying a word.

Ye Qinglan was well aware of the truth that too much is too late, so she didn't try to persuade her any more.I don't know what Mrs. Zheng discussed with Gu Hong that night. In short, when Gu Xinian paid his respects early the next morning, she deliberately left him to discuss this matter: "...Yu'er The boss is not young anymore, and in two months after the new year, he will be seventeen, so should we rush to make an appointment at the end of the year?"

Although he said it very implicitly, he didn't mention the man's name at all.How could Gu Xinian not know Madam Zheng's thoughts?

In the end, I was still worried that there would be twists and turns in the border war, and the possibility of Shen Changan going to the battlefield would be greatly increased, just for fear of delaying the marriage.
