happy match

Poetry?What is this, why does it sound so bad?

Ye Qinglan responded quickly: "I'm not in good health, I need to rest at ease, and it's not suitable for me to walk around casually. Please forgive me, Cousin Gu."

Gu Xinian smiled gracefully and calmly: "Cousin, don't worry, the poetry meeting is purely for making friends through poetry, not only men but also women will participate. Cousin don't have to worry."

He talked about his cousin one by one, Ye Qingning, the real cousin, felt sour in his heart, and couldn't help interjecting: "Cousin, why don't you invite me to participate in such a poetry meeting?"

Gu Xinian smiled slightly: "If my cousin wants to participate, she is naturally welcome."

Only then did Ye Qingning turn from anger to joy, and responded without thinking: "Okay, then I will go with my tenth sister."

……

Ye Qinglan looked at Ye Qingning silently, resisting the urge to look up to the sky and sigh.Everyone's expressions are also very subtle.Especially Mrs. Zheng, if she can't see Gu Xinian's special attention to Ye Qinglan until now, she will be a mother in vain.

What is the charm of this pale girl that makes Gu Xinian's brothers and sisters look at her differently?

Zheng also frowned slightly.Ye Qingning's admiration for Gu Xinian was clearly written on his face, who could not see it?No matter how good Gu Xinian is, he is definitely not a good match for Ye Qingning...

At this moment, a servant girl quickly came over and broke the delicate calm: "Ma'am, lunch has been prepared, Madam Huang ordered her servant to come and ask, is the dinner ready now?"

Madam Zheng smiled and nodded.

Thus, a group of people walked towards Jingxin Garden in a mighty manner.

Ye Qinglan held back her stomach and felt sullen.I deliberately walked slowly.It's a pity that this safe method didn't work this time.Ye Qingning was walking beside her, the unhappiness in her eyes was very obvious.

As for where her unhappiness came from, isn't it obvious?

It's rare to come to Dingguo's mansion, and it's rare to see your sweetheart.But the attention of the sweetheart has been not on himself, but on Ye Qinglan frequently.Could this not annoy her?

Ye Qinglan felt innocent, but she had to explain a bit: "Sixth Sister, don't be angry, I didn't intend to provoke Cousin Gu..." Her voice was extremely low.

Ye Qingning snorted lightly.Glancing at Ye Qinglan: "What you said sounds nice. If you didn't provoke my cousin, why did my cousin keep talking to you today?"

She doesn't know what's going on!Ye Qinglan laughed at herself: "Perhaps, Cousin Gu thinks I'm good-looking?"

The joke is not funny at all.

Ye Qingning didn't even bother to talk to her this time.There are a lot of noble ladies in the capital who admire Gu Xinian, among them there are not many who are dignified, beautiful and talented.Then there are those prostitutes and singers in brothels, what kind of beauties has Gu Xinian never seen?Even if Ye Qinglan looks good, she is just a green bud now.How could it attract Gu Xinian's attention.

Ye Qingning was sulking to herself, until she sat down in the flower hall of Jingxin Garden, her face looked a little better.

Ye Qinglan made a big splash just now, but now she has made up her mind to keep a low profile and sit beside Ye Qingning obediently, with her head bowed and not saying a word.

Gu Xiyu sat beside Madam Zheng.Instead, he took a few glances at Ye Qinglan.

Mrs. Zheng saw it in her eyes, but she didn't know what she was planning in her heart.On the surface, he chatted with Mrs. Zheng as if nothing had happened.

It stands to reason that men and women should sit at separate tables.Gu Xinian also rarely had the interest to eat and chat with the female relatives.But today for some reason, Gu Xinian took the initiative to sit at the table beside Gu Xiyu, and happened to sit face to face with Ye Qinglan.

Is it intentional or a coincidence, does this question still need to be asked?

Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes inwardly.If she had known that there would be such troubles, she should not have pretended to be sick today.

After a while.Exquisite delicacies were delivered one by one.Naturally, the masters don't need to do anything, and they have their own maids to help with the dishes.

Rui Xue just picked up a few chopsticks and put them into Ye Qinglan's bowl.Hearing Ye Qinglan gently order: "Okay, don't be busy."

Although she didn't raise her head, she could still feel two eyes staring at her.How could she still be in the mood to eat and drink, she wished she could finish soon and leave early.

Ruixue silently retreated behind Ye Qinglan.

Mrs. Zheng has been paying attention to the movement on the table, seeing Ye Qinglan put down her chopsticks after only two mouthfuls, she hurriedly asked with a concerned smile: "Sister Lan, is the food not to your liking?"

The eyes of everyone looked over in unison.

Ye Qinglan smiled apologetically: "The food is good, but I've been feeling unwell recently and I don't have much appetite. I'll be fine after a couple of days when I go back home and rest, so my aunt will worry about me." The words were very skillful.In the future, whenever Duke Dingguo invites her to be a guest, she can use this excuse to refuse.

Mrs. Zheng is so transparent, she immediately knew the elegant meaning when she heard the string song, and her smile paused slightly.

"Is Cousin Lan not feeling well?" Gu Xinian's leisurely and slightly surprised voice sounded: "Then you need to take a good rest. I happen to know some famous doctors in the capital, and I will ask them to take your pulse some other day, and then prescribe a few more medicines for you." A recipe for good health."

Ye Qinglan's teeth itched with hatred in her heart, but she forced a smile to respond: "Thank you, Cousin Gu, for your concern, I don't need to be so troublesome. Before my mother left Beijing, she asked a doctor to see me and prescribed a prescription."

Ye Qingning took over the conversation very naturally: "Yes, Shimei is weak and needs to rest for a long time. What kind of medicine to use is the second priority."

No matter what reason Ye Qingning offered to help, Ye Qinglan expressed her deep gratitude at this moment.

Gu Xinian smiled faintly, then stopped talking.

After eating, the maids removed the remaining seats.Everyone went to the side hall again, drinking tea and chatting.Ye Qinglan made up her mind not to make a sound, sat upright on the chair, smiled and listened.

Gu Xinian sat leisurely across from Ye Qinglan, his eyes occasionally passed Ye Qinglan's concentrated face, and then moved away without a trace.

At this moment, a handsome servant came in quietly and whispered something in Gu Xinian's ear.

Gu Xinian frowned slightly, and then returned to normal. He stood up with a smile and said, "Auntie, cousins, I have to retire first, so I won't accompany you."

Mrs. Zheng laughed quickly and said, "Hurry up if you have serious business to do, you don't need to accompany us."

Gu Xinian smiled faintly, and before leaving, he quickly glanced at Ye Qinglan.Ye Qinglan didn't notice it, and kept her head down.Gu Xinian twitched the corners of his lips, and an intriguing smile flashed in his eyes.Then leave gracefully.

Finally left!Ye Qinglan let out a long breath of relief, and her whole body suddenly relaxed.

Ye Qingning looked at Gu Xinian's back with reluctance, until the tall and straight figure completely disappeared at the door, and then reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Mrs. Zheng had a panoramic view of Ye Qingning's expression, and felt unhappy for a while, but she didn't show it on her face.She asked Mrs. Zheng with concern: "Xinian is getting older, so he can't just go on like this forever!"

Mrs. Zheng smiled wryly: "I don't know how many times I've mentioned him, but he just doesn't nod. You saw it just now, as soon as he mentioned it, he immediately changed the subject..." As she spoke, she sighed deeply: "He It's also too stubborn. It's been a few years since that incident, but he still can't let it go."

that matter?what is it

Ye Qinglan immediately pricked up her ears, lest she miss a word.

Mrs. Zheng also knew the old incident very well, and sighed after hearing the words: "Xinian is also a long-term lover, and it is inevitable that he can't let it go. Maybe he will be fine in two years."

"I hope so!" Madam Zheng sighed again: "To be honest, as long as he is willing to nod, no matter who he wants to marry, I will accept it."

Ye Qingning bit her lip lightly, a strange light flashed in her big eyes.

Out of the corner of Ye Qinglan's eyes, she had already caught sight of Ye Qingning's strangeness, and she was secretly startled.She always thought that Ye Qingning's feelings for Gu Xinian were just girlish, just like a girl worshiping an idol, it was just a momentary infatuation.But now it seems that Ye Qingning's affection for Gu Xinian is much deeper than she imagined...

"Xinian refuses to get married, so there must be some people around who know the cold and the hot!" Zheng comforted her sister: "As long as they take care of Xi Nian's daily life, you don't have to worry about it."

At this time, it is common for noble men to have three wives and four concubines. Even if they are not married to their regular wives, they should always have a few Xieyu flowers around them.

Madam Zheng smiled wryly again: "Don't mention it."

Zheng Shi was taken aback: "Why, there is no maid in the room next to him?"

Mrs. Zheng sighed: "No, I gave him two a few months ago, but he sent them to the laundry room." The two flowery maids washed the clothes for half a month, and then He came to her crying and begging for mercy.She had no choice but to say a few words of comfort, and quietly sent her out of the house.

After this incident, she didn't dare to make her own opinion anymore, so she could only let his temper go.

These days, there are still such men who are not good at women.Mrs. Zheng didn't know what to say, so she said after a long while: "Maybe it's because his fate hasn't arrived yet. Maybe one day, he really likes a girl from some family and will come to ask for her in person."

These words are obviously words of comfort.

Mrs. Zheng smiled, and there was a trace of indescribable bitterness in her smile.

Her pair of sons and daughters are her pride, her son is unparalleled in beauty, young and talented, and her daughter is beautiful and well-behaved.Whoever mentioned it a few years ago was not envious and praised.But now...

Seeing that men of the same age had already married wives and had children, Gu Xinian was still alone.Daughter Gu Xiyu is getting more and more withdrawn, how can she get married and be the head of the house with such a temperament in the future?

Ye Qinglan was also pondering over what the Zheng sisters had just said.

Listening to the voices of the two of them, Gu Xinian has never been married, and there is no concubine around him.For a young man in his prime, this is really abnormal.Leaving aside Gu Xinian's proud family background, just relying on his face alone, any kind of woman he wants is within easy reach.

What kind of old incident was it that made Gu Xinian such a deep and unpredictable man? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
