While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and after a while, the cotton curtain of the house was lifted from the outside, and I saw Nie Changyuan walking in anxiously, and shouted into the house: "Mother, I heard that Sister Xiang'er has arrived at Xianglu, ...... you?"

He thought that he wanted to discuss with the Zhou family, and invited Gu Jiaoxiang to his mother's house through Zhou's mouth, and he also took a look at Xiang'er's sister, who he hadn't seen for several days, but before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Gu Jiaoxiang sitting next to his mother, and was stunned for a moment, and the words came to his mouth without saying anything, and the person also stood still, looking at Gu Jiaoxiang with surprise in surprise.

"Look at my stupid son, I always said that I wanted to find a chance to see Sister Xiang'er, but now that I see someone, I can't even speak." Zhou grabbed Gu Jiaoxiang's hand, teased his son, and looked at Gu Jiaoxiang meaningfully.

Gu Jiaoxiang lowered her head, raised the corners of her mouth and didn't take Zhou's words to heart, she knew what Aunt Zhou meant, that is, she wanted to talk about her son's good in her ear, and she already cared about her, so that she could feel something, and she was clearly intentionally matching the two of them.

But Gu Jiaoxiang didn't have such a mind at all, she saw Nie Changchang come back to her senses in Zhou's jokes, and saluted Zhou's here, she immediately got down from the couch and bent her knees to say hello to Nie Changyuan: "Brother Changchang!" ”

"Sister Xiang'er, you've already arrived, I thought you would be late, and I was thinking about whether to let my mother send someone to pick you up."

After Nie Changchang saw Gu Jiaoxiang in Zhou's house, when he thought of his frizzy appearance just now, he was suddenly embarrassed, and his face was burning for a while.

"Thank you for your long-term brother." Gu Jiaoxiang just gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, and replied with a lukewarm face, which made people unable to see joy and anger for a while, this shocked and calm look was very different from Nie Changchang's earnestness.

Gu Jiaoxiang looked at his embarrassment in her eyes, but she only felt a little guilty in her heart, she didn't want her long-term brother like her brother to put his feelings on her wishful thinking, the more obvious he was, the more guilty she felt.

She was afraid that sooner or later, he would have a grudge against herself because she couldn't respond to his feelings, so Gu Jiaoxiang secretly felt in her heart that she must dispel his thoughts as soon as possible.

Zhou looked at the two babies in front of her, and a trace of weirdness suddenly welled up in her heart, but after looking at it for a long time, she didn't see where this inexplicable weirdness was, seeing that the two of them were about to be relatively speechless and turned into stones, she quickly smiled and stretched out her hand to pull Gu Jiaoxiang to sit next to her.

The three of them talked for a while, basically listening to Zhou's general Nie Changyuan's troubles when he was a child, and Nie Changchang wanted to go away in embarrassment several times, but he looked up and saw Gu Jiaoxiang smiling and listening carefully to her mother's words, and suddenly felt a slight warmth in her heart, and she still didn't give up going out in the end.

Waiting until the evening of the day, Zhou was shocked to realize that he had been talking for a whole afternoon, it was rare that the two little ones were not half impatient, listening to her until now, he immediately stopped with some shame, and opened his mouth to keep Gu Jiaoxiang: "It's not early, I think Xiang'er might as well go back after dinner with me, anyway, there is nothing to do today, and I will go to class early in the morning, I am afraid that my aunt will want to talk to you at that time, and there will be no time." ”

Gu Jiaoxiang knew that the Zhou family had always loved her, so she just nodded, did not refuse, and stayed in the Zhou family's house and had dinner together.

After eating, it was already dark, Gu Jiaoxiang glanced at the sky outside, afraid that it would be too late for her to go back to the yard by herself, so she got up and said goodbye.

Zhou's original plan was to let Qingzhu send Gu Jiaoxiang back, but before she could get in the way, his baby son had already taken the lead in speaking: "It just so happens that I have to go to my father's study, together with Sister Xiang'er, why don't I give Sister Xiang'er a ride." ”

Zhou praised his son in his heart, and he was happy that his son had eyes, but he couldn't help but complain about his son, only her sister Xiang'er was in his eyes, but she was a mother who had to stand aside.

Thinking about it, in the end, I still wish that the two of them would have more contact, so I immediately waved my hand and let the two people leave.

As soon as the two left, Zhou suddenly leaned on the soft couch and took a deep breath, and Qingzhu, who was waiting beside him, saw this, and immediately took the blanket at Zhou's feet and covered her.

Zhou suddenly sighed, looked at Qingzhu with a dying expression, and asked, "Did you say that I did it too obviously, how can this thing scare Xiang'er away?"

Qingzhu was stunned at first, after serving by Zhou's side for a long time, she immediately understood Zhou's words, she frowned and glanced at Zhou.

"Madam, forgive the slave maid for being blunt, the slave maid always feels that Miss Gu seems to have changed as if she has changed a person." Qingzhu changed the blanket for Zhou, and when she heard Zhou's question, she immediately frowned, and opened her mouth tentatively, seeing that Zhou's did not object, she still thought about the wording, and said cautiously: "Although the slave maid still saw Miss Gu a few years ago, and the interval was a little long, but after getting along with each other a few times, I always felt that there was no longer the original one who always liked to drag the corner of Mrs. Liu's clothes, and when he saw the living person, he was timid to look at Nuo Nuo, sometimes the slave and the maid looked at Miss Gu, and even a little scared, that feeling, It's as if you've met the owner. ”

Zhou raised her eyebrows, she knew how afraid Qingzhu was of Nie Feng, for no other reason, just because once before, she didn't listen to Qingzhu's persuasion, and after going out on a snowy day and coming back, she contracted the wind cold, and after being known by Nie Feng, she almost took Qingzhu's life, and Qingzhu after escaping death, every time she saw Nie Feng, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Now she said that she also had this frightening feeling when she looked at Xiang'er, and she was indeed a little incredulous.

In her eyes, Xiang'er has always been the soft and glutinous little girl at the beginning, because she only has a child like Brother Yuan, and she is a very naughty boy, so she naturally likes it very much in the face of a little girl like a marshmallow man.

This is also the reason why she always thinks about mentioning her son to marry Xiang'er.

Zhou sighed, and suddenly heard Qingzhu speak to her again: "Madam, don't be angry when the slave says something that shouldn't be said." ”

Qingzhu glanced at Zhou with a hesitant expression, and when she saw her nodding, she spoke earnestly: "The slave maid thinks that Miss Gu doesn't seem to have that kind of mind for the young master." ”

After Qingzhu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou carefully, and saw that she seemed to be in a trance, thinking that she was really angry because of her words, so she hung her head and hurriedly shouted: "Madam? ”

Zhou was not distracted, but after listening to Qingzhu's words, he suddenly had a feeling of being sudden, and immediately thought of the place he had always thought of weird.

When she watched her son talk face-to-face with Xiang'er just now, she felt that the picture was a little weird and embarrassing, her son clearly put Xiang'er's girl in his heart, and when facing her, he would inevitably blush, but on the other hand, Xiang'er's expression was indeed too calm, without the slightest feeling of excitement or even a trace of joy, and when he spoke to his son, it was too calm as usual.

Qingzhu's words suddenly reminded her thoughts here, Zhou thought about this, and suddenly frowned a little heartily, is it really as Qingzhu said, Xiang'er's girl doesn't have a little heartbeat for her son?

Zhou's thoughts were a little disturbed at the moment. She has always thought that these two little guys, from the bottom to the big, the two little ones have no guesses, should also have some extra affection for each other, as long as she works hard to match, it will naturally come to fruition, where would she think that there would be such an accident.

No way!

Zhou bit his lip, and suddenly made a decision in his heart, if he has the opportunity, he must ask Xiang'er clearly, is she interested in her son?

I can't always go on with my son like this, shaving his head and picking his head hot, and when the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses and delay each other.

After making up her mind, Zhou did not immediately invite Gu Jiaoxiang back, this kind of thing, if she asked it openly, she was afraid that it would scare the thin-faced little girl away for a while, and the problem had not been solved, so she would miss the opportunity first, so she must choose a suitable opportunity and explore clearly.

Gu Jiaoxiang didn't know that Zhou had already questioned her attitude towards Nie Changyuan, she followed Nie Changyuan to the door of the courtyard where she was staying, and then bent her knees to Nie Changyuan with a smile, and thanked her detachedly and politely: "Thank you Brother Changchang for sending me off, Brother Changchang must be very busy these days, Xiang'er will not delay Brother Changchang." ”

Nie Changchang is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, but he is afraid that he will have a lot of things to do if he stays in Xianglu in the next few days.

"It's okay, Xiang'er doesn't have to be polite." Nie Changyuan scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, but he felt that if he didn't speak, Sister Xiang'er would turn around and enter the courtyard as soon as possible, and he would have even fewer opportunities to talk to Sister Xiang'er again.

But he didn't know what he should say, looking at Gu Jiaoxiang standing in front of him, looking at himself with a smile, he felt a slight sigh in his heart, and always felt that during this time, after seeing Xiang'er's sister, he was becoming more and more angry.

Gu Jiaoxiang originally wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Nie Changyuan and tell him her thoughts, but suddenly there was a dark shadow in the corner of her eye, she immediately stopped talking and looked at the black shadow.

Because it was dark, it was a little far away to get the black shadow, and I couldn't see the face clearly, but it was indeed obvious that she was coming this way, Gu Jiaoxiang frowned, and said, "Someone is coming?" ”

When Nie Changyuan heard this, he followed her gaze, and sure enough, he saw someone walking this way, and immediately squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, but fortunately, the person was getting closer and closer, and gradually made people see his face clearly.

Gu Jiaoxiang looked at the person who came, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, a little surprised,

That person was none other than Ye Xinlan, who she had seen here today.

Ye Xinlan came with light steps, and after walking to the side of the two, she nodded at the two of them before she smiled at Nie Changchang and said, "Nie Gongzi is also here?" ”

"Miss Ye!" Nie Changyuan clasped his fists and saluted Ye Xinlan.

He knew this Miss Ye Xinlan, aside from the Xianglu, she was a distinguished guest who came with the Lord of Mu Ge, that is, in the capital, saying that this Miss Ye is also known to everyone.

After all, as the concubine of Ye Xiangye of Dingxi Kingdom, she put aside her identity as a noble daughter and stooped into the Yipin Xiangge to learn incense, because of her excellent grades, in less than a year, she jumped from a small incense apprentice to the status of a big incense envoy, and I heard that it seems to be trusted by the lord of Mu Ge.

No, it is clear that the Lord of the Mu Pavilion came with his whereabouts hidden, but he will take this Miss Xiangfu who has not left the cabinet, which shows how closely connected the relationship between the two is.

Nie Chang is practicing incense in Yipin Xiang Pavilion, and he doesn't close his eyes and listen, and he knows a little about the rumors outside, whether good or bad.

And the one that spread very loudly is that this Miss Ye, the daughter of Tang Tang's prime minister's mansion, just wants to go to the incense house to learn this kind of perfume for business and profit, it is clear that she is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and she came for the young and promising Mu Pavilion master, and served people with beauty, so that in less than a year, she became the youngest incense envoy in the Xiang Pavilion.

Although Nie Changyuan didn't believe much in such rumors, after all, Ye Xinlan's achievements were obvious to all, but the so-called groundless, if nothing had happened, how could everyone dare to talk about it in private.

Seeing that Ye Xinlan, who almost didn't act separately from the Mu Pavilion Lord, actually came here at this hour, which surprised him.

Gu Jiaoxiang was also a little surprised at first, but when she heard Ye Xinlan speak, she knew her purpose.

Ye Xinlan nodded at Nie Yuanyuan, and then said to him with a smile: "I don't know if Nie Gongzi has other things, I want to find Miss Gu to say a few words, can it be convenient?" ”

What she said was very polite, but she didn't like it, which clearly meant to open her mouth to drive people away.

Nie Changyuan didn't like Ye Xinlan's words, but in the end, it was a distinguished guest in their incense house, and it was not easy to offend, so he had to look at Gu Jiaoxiang, and when he saw her nodding at him, he left with some anxiety.

"Miss Gu." When Nie Changchang left step by step, Ye Xinlan forgot to glance at the direction of Nie Changyuan's departure, and smiled innocently: "The relationship between Miss Gu and Nie Gongzi is still very good." ”

"I don't know what Miss Ye is looking for me?" Gu Jiaoxiang stared at Ye Xinlan, her face was a little indifferent, and she asked in a flat tone.

Ye Xinlan put away her joke awkwardly and said to Miss Gu: "It's nothing, but I heard that Miss Gu has a good ability to mix fragrances. ”

It's the end of the year, and I've been really busy lately, and my brain is a little insufficient. (To be continued.) )
