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

Gu Xiyu was unintentional, Gu Xinian must have meant it. She was alone, and it was useless to say more. In the eyes of others, it seems that he wants to cover up and be a thief. Anyway, Gu Xinian just deliberately teased her, and it was impossible for him to really have any good feelings for her. If you make too much trouble, it won't be you who will be in real trouble!

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

Mrs. Zheng nodded, took the initiative to take Ye Qinglan's hand, and said kindly: "You must have been frightened just now!" Later, you can eat more to replenish your body and suppress the shock. As he spoke, he pulled Ye Qinglan inside, not to mention how kind that attitude was.

Ye Qinglan secretly complained in her heart, and walked in under the strange gaze of everyone. Then, the account was calculated on Gu Xinian's head.

He'd better have some other trick to get caught by her, or else, hmph, she's not going to make him feel better......

As soon as I sat down, I heard a sound of footsteps outside. A slightly familiar voice rang out: "What a coincidence that I came, just in time for lunch." ”

A young man in Chinese clothes walked in with a swagger and sat down next to Gu Xinian very casually. smiled and greeted everyone one by one, and then, the presumptuous gaze fell on Ye Qinglan's pretty face wantonly: "Lan'er......" changed her words under Mrs. Zheng's gaze: "Cousin Lan!" ”

Ye Qinglan smiled lightly, said hello, and then lowered her eyelids. I really hate what to do, where did this Gu Yongnian come from.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and instructed the maids to set up another set of clean dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Yongnian, why are you free to come to me today?" "According to Gu Yongnian's temperament, he either calls friends to go out to eat, drink and have fun, and it is rare to stay in the house. was busy coaxing his grandmother Sun to be happy. There are very few people who come to Jingxin Garden.

Gu Yongnian grinned: "Isn't it welcome to me, auntie?" That's not going to work, anyway, I'm going to have a meal today. ”

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

It would be strange if Ye Qinglan had an appetite. Gu Xinian is better, even if the sense of threat and storage is stronger, after all, he is quite subtle, and at most he occasionally glances at himself. But Gu Yongnian was much more presumptuous, and his dripping eyes kept looking. It's almost a staring harassment.

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

Mrs. Zheng took in this qiē and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. There are a few hints in the heart. But in front of so many people, you have to save some face for Gu Yongnian! After thinking about it, I had to press it down.

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

Gu Yongnian suddenly came to his senses: "The weather is so good today, how boring it is to stay in the house." It's better to go to Bibo Lake, rent a painting boat to raft, listen to the music and drink more freely. "Don't wait for Gu Xinian's reaction. He smiled earnestly again: "Cousin and Cousin Lan should also go together!" ”

As soon as Gu Xiyu heard the words boating in the lake, her pretty face suddenly turned white.

Ye Qinglan sat beside her, and seeing that her face was wrong, she hurriedly reached out to hold her slightly cold hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, we just don't go." ”

Gu Yongnian said with great interest: "There are few people and it is not lively. I'll call a few more ......."

"It's okay," Gu Xinian said lightly, "However, Yu'er and Cousin Lan still don't go." ”

Gu Yongnian subconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan. Then he smiled: "If you don't want to see outsiders, then let's go." "Speaking of which, I just want Ye Qinglan to go with me.

Ye Qinglan squeezed out a smile and politely declined: "Thank you for your kindness, my body is weak." It is not advisable to go out. It's better to stay in the house with Cousin Xiyu. ”

Gu Yongnian's eyes rolled, and he immediately changed his words: "That's good." I'll stay with you too. ”

……

Ye Qinglan looked at Mrs. Zheng for help. In fact, she used a lot of sharp cold words to send Gu Yongnian away. But she is now the "gentle, dignified, gentle and lovely" tenth lady of Changyuan Bofu, so it is most reasonable to express Xiàn.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed and said, "Yongnian, you better find a friend to go boating in the lake together." In the afternoon, someone from the brocade weaving workshop came to measure Yu'er and Sister Lan'er's clothes, so I don't need you to accompany them. ”

Mrs. Zheng's words, Gu Yongnian finally stopped, and his mouth was scolded.

The roots of the ears are finally quiet!

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

Gu Yongnian was still a little in awe of this cousin, and 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 willful since childhood, if there is something wrong with what he says, don't take it to heart." ”

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "Aunt is strict." "Gu Yongnian is not only capricious, he is simply frivolous. How could there be such a big lama inviting a girl to go to the lake. If it gets out, her reputation will be gone.

Mrs. Zheng calmed down a few words, and suddenly changed her words: "By the way, I didn't have time to ask in detail before, now that I have time, you might as well tell me in detail, what happened in the morning, how did you fall off the swing frame?" ”

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

I have to ask Gu Xinian, where can she guess his thoughts. If she had expected him to behave like this, she wouldn't have been scared like that.

Ye Qinglan smiled freely: "Cousin Xiyu asked me to sit on the swing and then paint." Cousin Gu probably felt that the maids' strength was too small to push the swing, so he helped push a few handfuls. It's a pity that I'm very timid, and the swing flies too high, so I'm a little scared. Somehow he fell. Fortunately, Cousin Gu was close and saved me in time. Otherwise, I would have fallen hard! ”

She said it lightly, her attitude was very calm, and she was not shy or happy.

Mrs. Zheng is so sophisticated and shrewd, and if she looks at her carefully, she can naturally detect that she doesn't have any special thoughts about Gu Xinian at all. Thinking about Gu Xinian's temperament again, it seems unlikely that he will be interested in a young yellow-haired girl......

Mrs. Zheng couldn't tell whether she was more disappointed or approving, so she sighed secretly and pulled the topic away.

After a while, the people from the brocade weaving workshop came. It's still the big shopkeeper, leading a few clever guys, and bringing a lot of brand-new clothes and clothing style models.

But there is no girl who does not love beauty. Gu Xiyu saw a bunch of clothes of different colors and textures, and immediately came to her senses, and pulled Ye Qinglan over to look through them together. The two of them were comparing and whispering about what kind of clothes looked better and were more suitable for dresses, and they were also happy.

The shopkeeper diligently opened the model of the clothes style, and said with a smile: "These are all new styles, and please take a look at the lady to see which style you like, just tell sù a small sound." ”

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

Ten pieces per person, twenty pieces for two people. The styles on this are all up-to-date, using the best materials, plus exquisite handwork, each piece is no less than thirty taels.

The shopkeeper took over a large amount of business, and his heart was naturally happy, and his attitude became more and more respectful.

Ye Qinglan was taken aback, and hurriedly excused herself: "Auntie, it's okay for Cousin Xiyu to make a few more new clothes, but I don't need so much." Just make two pieces......"

Mrs. Zheng smiled: "Okay, you don't have to save me." It's just a few new clothes, and it doesn't cost much silver. That's it! "People who are used to being housemothers do not tolerate rejection at all. At that time, it was decided.

Ye Qinglan was disrespectful, so she had to accept Mrs. Zheng's kindness. Speaking of which, Mrs. Zheng is really good to her. Although it has been less than two days since she came, eating, drinking, and wearing clothes are all better than taking care of cherished jade, and even the maids and maids are respectful to her, and none of them dare to show the slightest contempt.

Of course, there is a reason why Mrs. Zheng is so good to her.

If it weren't for the fact that she and Gu Xiyu fell in love so much, if it weren't for Gu Xiyu's special love of being close to her, I was afraid that she would not be qualified to enter the gate of the Dingguo Mansion.

After the people from the brocade weaving workshop left, Mrs. Zheng personally taught the two of them to read the account books.

Gu Xiyu was not interested in the account book at all, and reluctantly listened to a few words, and then wandered out of the world. Ye Qinglan listened with great interest.

If you want to live here, you have to adapt to the way of life here. Although the aristocratic women do not need to go out to work to earn money, they can manage a large number of maids and women and subordinates are busy enough. As a housewife, you don't need to do everything yourself. But you have to know a little bit about everything. Checking accounts is one of the most important.

The account book in Mrs. Zheng's hand is the daily expenditure account of the house. This is also known as the public ledger. As for the account books or personal private accounts in each courtyard, they naturally won't be taken out casually.

Ye Qinglan had a good math in her previous life, and she had a good memory, and she learned how to read the account book after listening to Mrs. Zheng for a while. If you pay close attention to the amount of expenses recorded in the account book, you can't help but be secretly staggered.

To maintain the daily basic expenses for a day, it is as much as 100 taels. This does not include the cost of favors and gifts, as well as people's monthly expenses. How much money will it cost in this month!

Looking at this problem in another way, the assets of the Dingguo Mansion must be very rich to support such a big pomp.
