happy match

Ye Qinglan didn't have the strength to explain any more, so she simply kept her mouth shut.

Gu Xiyu didn't mean it, but Gu Xinian must have meant it.She is alone and alone, and it is useless to say more.In the eyes of others, it seems like a guilty conscience.Anyway, Gu Xinian was just teasing her on purpose, and it is absolutely impossible for him to really have a good impression of her.If the trouble is too much, then the real trouble will not be me!

Sure enough, just when Madam Zheng was thinking about it, Gu Xi said in a young and fluttering voice: "Hurry up and eat, I'm already hungry."

Mrs. Zheng nodded, and took the initiative to hold Ye Qinglan's hand, and said kindly: "You must have been frightened just now! You must eat more later, so that you can calm down." She said while pulling Ye Qinglan walked in, her attitude was not to mention very kind.

Ye Qinglan groaned secretly in her heart, and walked inside bravely under the strange eyes of everyone.Then, the account was put on Gu Xinian's head.

He'd better not have a reason to be caught by her, otherwise, hehe, she will definitely not let him have a good time...

As soon as he sat down, he heard footsteps outside.A slightly familiar voice sounded: "It's a coincidence that I came here, just in time for lunch."

A young man in fancy clothes walked in swaggeringly, and sat down beside Gu Xinian casually.He smiled and greeted everyone one by one, and then, his presumptuous eyes fell on Ye Qinglan's pretty face: "Lan'er..." Under Mrs. Zheng's gaze, she changed her words again: "Cousin Lan!"

Ye Qinglan smiled lightly, as a greeting, and then lowered her eyelids.I really hate what comes.Where did this Gu Yongnian come from?

Mrs. Zheng smiled and ordered the maids to set another set of clean bowls and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Yongnian, why are you free to come to my place today?" Going out to eat, drink and have fun, it is rare to stay in the mansion, so I am busy making my grandmother Sun happy.There are very few people who come to Jingxin Garden.

Gu Yongnian grinned: "Auntie doesn't welcome me? That's not possible, anyway, my meal today is decided."

Mrs. Zheng knew that he had ulterior motives, but she was still amused.It's not easy to say anything more, just call everyone to eat more.

It would be strange if Ye Qinglan had an appetite.Gu Xinian was better.Even if the sense of threat and presence is stronger, it is still reserved after all, at most, he will look at himself occasionally.But Gu Yongnian was much more presumptuous, and kept looking over with his slick eyes.It can almost constitute eye harassment.

Ye Qinglan tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and focused on eating with her head down.

Mrs. Zheng had a panoramic view of all this, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.A few hints.But in front of so many people, you have to save some face for Gu Yongnian!After thinking about it, I had no choice but to hold back.

When Gu Yongnian stared at Ye Qinglan's pretty face for the tenth time, Gu Xinian suddenly said, "Seventh cousin, what are you going to do this afternoon?"

Gu Yongnian suddenly regained his spirits: "The weather is so good today, so it's boring to stay in the mansion. Why don't you go to Bibo Lake. Rent a painting boat and go boating, listen to music and drink. It's so relaxing." Waiting for Gu Xinian's reaction.He smiled courteously and said, "Cousin and Cousin Lan, let's go too!"

Gu Xiyu's pretty face immediately turned pale when she heard the words "swim on the lake and go boating".

Ye Qinglan sat beside her, saw that her expression was not right, quickly reached out to hold her slightly cold hand, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, we just don't go."

Gu Yongnian said enthusiastically, "It's too crowded, I'll call a few more..."

"Alright." Gu Xinian continued calmly, "However, Yu'er and Cousin Lan should not go."

Gu Yongnian subconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan.Then he said with a smile: "If you don't want to see outsiders, then let's go together." After all, I just want Ye Qinglan to go with me.

Ye Qinglan squeezed out a smile, and politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm too weak to go out. It's better to stay at the mansion with Cousin Xiyu."

Gu Yongnian rolled his eyes, and immediately changed his words: "Well, I'll stay with you too."

……

Ye Qinglan looked at Madam Zheng for help.In fact, she mostly dismissed Gu Yongnian with sharp sarcastic remarks.But now she is the "gentle, dignified, gentle and pleasant" tenth miss of Changyuan uncle's mansion, and this behavior is the most reasonable.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, coughed and said, "Yongnian, you'd better find a friend to go boating on the lake. In the afternoon, people from Brocade Workshop will come to measure clothes for Yu'er and Sister Lan, so I don't need you to accompany me." .”

After Mrs. Zheng spoke, Gu Yongnian finally calmed down, and shut up embarrassingly.

The ears are finally quiet!

After finally surviving until the end of lunch, Gu Yongnian still refused to leave and talked about it for a long time.Gu Xinian finally got a little impatient, and said lightly: "Aren't you going to swim in the lake? Let's go now!"

Gu Yongnian was somewhat in awe of this cousin, so he reluctantly followed.

As soon as the two left, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

Mrs. Zheng said to Ye Qinglan with a little apology: "Yongnian has been self-willed since he was a child. If there is something wrong with what you say, don't take it to heart."

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Auntie is serious." Gu Yongnian was more than capricious, he was frivolous at all.How can there be such a big lala who invites girls to swim in the lake.If it gets out, don't want her reputation.

Mrs. Zheng said a few words to comfort her, but suddenly she changed the subject: "By the way, I didn't have time to ask in detail before, so you might as well tell me in detail if you have time. fell off?"

Of course, what Mrs. Zheng wanted to hear was not this, but why Gu Xinian pushed the swing for her.

I have to ask Gu Xinian about it, how could she guess what he was thinking.If she could have expected him to act like this, she wouldn't be so frightened.

Ye Qinglan smiled calmly and said, "Cousin Xiyu asked me to sit on the swing and then paint. Cousin Gu probably felt that the maids were too weak to push the swing, so he helped push a few. It's a pity that I I was very timid, and the swing flew too high, so I was a little scared. I fell down somehow. Fortunately, Cousin Gu was close and saved me in time. Otherwise, I must have fallen hard today!"

She said it lightly, with a very calm attitude, without any shyness or joy.

Mrs. Zheng is so sophisticated and shrewd. Looking closely at her expression, one can naturally sense that she has no special thoughts about Gu Xinian at all.Thinking about Gu Xinian's temper, it seems unlikely that he would be interested in a young yellow-haired girl...

Mrs. Zheng couldn't tell whether she was more approving or disappointed in her heart, so she sighed secretly and changed the subject.

After a while, people from Jinzhifang came.It was still the big shopkeeper, leading a few smart guys, and brought a lot of brand new clothing materials and clothing style samples.

But there is no girl who does not love beauty.When Gu Xiyu saw a pile of clothing materials of various colors and textures, she immediately regained her spirits and dragged Ye Qinglan to look through them together.The two of them had a lot of fun discussing in a low voice what kind of fabric was better looking and more suitable for making dresses while comparing.

The shopkeeper graciously opened the sample clothes, and said with a smile: "These are new styles, please take a look, Madam, which style you like, just let me know."

Mrs. Zheng hummed, flipped through a few pages casually, and said with a casual smile: "According to these new styles, we will customize ten new clothes for each of them."

Ten pieces per person, twenty pieces for two people.The above styles are all the latest, using the best materials, coupled with exquisite handwork, each piece is no less than 30 taels.

The shopkeeper received a large amount of business, so he was naturally happy, and his attitude became more respectful.

Ye Qinglan was surprised, and hurriedly declined: "Auntie, it's okay for Cousin Xiyu to make a few more new clothes, but I don't need so many. Just make two..."

Mrs. Zheng smiled: "Okay, you don't have to save me. It's just a few new clothes, and it won't cost much money. Let's make it so!" Tolerate rejection.It was decided at that time.

Ye Qinglan was disrespectful, so she had no choice but to accept Mrs. Zheng's kindness.Speaking of which, Mrs. Zheng was really nice to her.Although it has been less than two days since she came here, eating, drinking and clothing are all more important than taking care of Xiyu, even the maids and women are respectful to her, no one dares to show the slightest contempt.

Of course, there is a reason why Mrs. Zheng treats her so well.

If it wasn't for the fact that she and Gu Xiyu were so close, if it wasn't for the fact that Gu Xiyu liked to be close to her, I'm afraid she wouldn't be qualified to enter Dingguo's mansion.

After the people from Brocade Weaving Workshop left, Mrs. Zheng taught the two of them to read the ledger.

Gu Xiyu wasn't interested in the ledger at all, and after listening to a few words reluctantly, she wandered off.Ye Qinglan listened with great interest.

If you want to live better here, you have to adapt to the way of life here.Although aristocratic women don't need to go out to work to earn money, they are busy enough to manage a lot of maids and women.As the head of the house, you don't need to do everything yourself.But you need to know everything.Checking accounts is one of the most important items.

The ledger in Mrs. Zheng's hand is the daily expenditure account of the mansion.This is the so-called public ledger.As for the ledgers in various yards or personal private accounts, naturally they will not be taken out casually.

Ye Qinglan was good at mathematics in her previous life and had a good memory. After listening to Mrs. Zheng for a while, she learned how to read the ledger.Then carefully pay attention to the amount of expenses recorded in the ledger, and I can't help but secretly stunned.

To maintain a day's basic daily expenses, it costs more than a hundred taels.This does not include the cost of favors and gifts and the monthly expenses of the servants.After this month, how much money will it cost!

Looking at this issue in another way, Dingguo Mansion's assets must also be very rich in order to support such a big ostentation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
