Chapter 259: Parting
That night, the guests had dispersed, and the Dingguo Mansion gradually fell into tranquility, Gu Yanling sat quietly under the window, still bowing her head and embroidering the last embroidery of this marriage, under the warm and bright light, the girl's face was quiet and peaceful, and suddenly, it seemed to be different from before.
The always cold temperament was gradually replaced by an indescribable gentleness, and the calm and waveless eyes gradually became like a spring pool, with a little more rippling light.
Libi and Jiang Zhu quietly accompanied the side, happily watching this scene, the corners of their lips couldn't help but purse slightly, as long as the girl is good, it is really good.
The girl was thirsty, so she inserted the silver needle in her hand into the embroidery, raised her hand to explore the teacup in her hand, and at this moment, she looked up and saw Xie Yun standing at the door, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said with a smile on her eyebrows: "Why don't you come in and sit when your cousin comes." β
Looking at the girl's gentle eyes, Xie Yun smiled kindly, and then walked in, looking down and seeing the red embroidery in the girl's hand, he didn't know how to face it calmly.
"I didn't know that you were so good at embroidery. β
Hearing this, Gu Yanling followed Xie Yun's gaze and looked at the embroidery in his arms, and then invited Xie Yun to take a seat, but his eyes glanced at one place and quipped: "Otherwise, cousin thinks that your embroidery bag is made by them?"
Xie Yun followed the girl's gaze and saw the embroidered bag tied around his waist, and couldn't help but raise his hand to attach it, feeling the delicate embroidery under his hand, and the corners of his lips hooked.
"Cousin, do you have something to say?"
Gu Yanling put the embroidery in his hand into the embroidery basket beside him, quietly picked up a cup of tea and looked at Xie Yun, Xie Yun didn't wait much when he saw this, smiled and called Bailu to hand over a box of rosewood treasures inlaid with flowers and birds, and then took it and pushed it in front of Gu Yanling.
With the sound of the box rubbing a few cases, Gu Yanling looked at Xie Yun, but the opposite side was smiling and signaling her to open, Gu Yanling didn't wait for him to sell it, and reached out to uncover it, and suddenly a burst of pear blossom fragrance hit the face, only to see a pile of light blue letterheads lying quietly in it, and there was a whole unfolded pear blossom in the upper right corner of each letterhead.
"Today you have all the things that are beside you, so I will send you these letters. β
The girl's eyes flashed with joy, and she couldn't help but take out one, rubbed the delicate paper, stroked the dried pear blossoms, smelled the faint fragrance, the corners of her lips couldn't help but hook, and looked at the person opposite: "This is what you did?"
Xie Yun smiled indifferently, and then said: "I tried it according to the ancient book, and it is not a waste of anything." β
Gu Yanling put the paper back with a smile, and ordered Libi to put the things away, and then said: "In the past, there was Xie Gong's note, Xue Tao's note, and now there is Xie Yun's note again, maybe the value of your note in the future will be as expensive as the Luoyang paper in the past." β
Xie Yun smiled and took a sip of tea, and then pretended to think: "Xie Yun's note is not good, it's better to order the pear blossom note." β
Gu Yanling said with a smile when he heard this: "Okay, what you do, naturally you are in charge." β
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhu happened to bring the small snacks she had made, and the girl reached out to arrange the plates, but heard Xie Yun's calm and natural voice from the other side.
"The new house has been completed, and I will ask for my resignation tomorrow, and I will be ready to move out the day after tomorrow. β
The girl paused slightly when she heard this, and then turned her head, but when she saw Xie Yun's extraordinarily calm eyes, the girl groaned for a long time, and seemed to react, and then silently pushed Xie Yun's favorite dot over and said, "So fast?"
Xie Yun followed the girl's wishes, twisted up the small dot, then nodded, and said quite steadily and naturally: "After all, I have entered the court as an official, and I used to be disturbed because the mansion was not completed, but now that it is good, I am afraid that I will be gossiped if I stay." β
Gu Yanling paused, in fact, what Xie Yun said was true, if it was in her heart, she naturally wanted to stay, but she also knew that with her position and identity, she really shouldn't decide whether Xie Yun would stay or not.
Now that Xie Yun has entered the Hanlin Academy, he has already started a new family, and his words and deeds also represent the Xie family, the officialdom is treacherous, even if it is some gossip, it can be fatal, even if she hopes that all her relatives can stay by her side, but this is not realistic.
"Okay, it's justβ"
Hearing the pause in the girl's words, Xie Yun looked up, only to see the girl's serious invitation: "The day I leave here, my cousin may come to see me off?"
The dim sum in his hand is still slightly hot, Xie Yun's heart is also slightly warm, the girl in front of her is sincere and full of expectations, I don't know how long she has been silent, how long she has been silent, the corners of Xie Yun's mouth finally raised a smile, and a word overflowed warmly.
"Good. β
It is enough to see her get married in this life, wearing the most beautiful wedding dress and walking towards her another happy life.
Looking at Xie Yun's gentle smile and hearing that simple good word, Gu Yanling's heart gradually overflowed with a warm current of emotion, the wedding in her previous life was cold, she was just for the family, like a puppet to complete an emotionless ceremony, at that time, she had no happiness at all.
But in this life, there is no doubt that she is happy.
Mother is still there, Brother Yu is still there, her father is not depressed, all her relatives are with her, and she will also enter another door and join hands with the people she truly loves to complete this road.
In the past, these were luxuries that she could not even think of.
And now, she's got it all.
Looking at Xie Yun in front of her, she was trying to suppress the tears in her eyes.
In Gu Yanling's heart, whether it was Xie Yun in her previous life or Xie Yun in front of her, she was not only her dearest relative, but also her best friend and confidant.
Like all her closest relatives, she hopes that her happiness can be witnessed by Xie Yun, and she hopes that she can witness Xie Yun's happiness in the future.
Only in this way can this life be considered complete.
β¦β¦
When Xie Yun left, the tea at hand was still warm, seeing Jiang Zhu tidying up the table, Gu Yanling was sitting there quietly in a daze, at that moment she remembered a lot, remembered the court, only Xie Yun best understood her planning and layout as the queen mother, thinking of the court, only Xie Yun would get up early and be greedy for darkness, conscientious, and eager to live in the duty room in Xiyuan, not for power, not for profit, only for the people.
So far, what she regrets the most and feels the most guilty is to see Xie Yun abandon her family affairs for the sake of state affairs, so that she finally died in the court, but she didn't even have a wife and concubine, and even the slightest bit of the Xie family's blood could not be passed on.
In this life, she can't watch all this happen, whether it's for Xie Yun or Xie Jiafang, she can't let things go on as before, Xie Yun should be a peerless person who is good enough to know each other and love each other.
In any case, as long as it is someone Xie Yun likes and cherishes, even if it is her life, she is willing to protect it and promote it, and she can't let them have no regrets in this life.
Because Xie Yun in the past, in order to protect her, he left his life.
