Chapter 208: Sorting Out

Ye Qinglan didn't need to look in the mirror, and she knew that her expression at the moment must be very confused. Gu Xinian's person is really getting weirder and more elusive......

Forget it, don't mention him.

Ye Qinglan was about to open the topic, when she heard Gu Xiyu say again: "I forgot to tell you, my eldest brother has started to become an official in the court." ”

Ye Qinglan couldn't hide the surprise in her heart anymore, and asked, "Is what you said true?" Did Cousin Gu really join the company? "How is this possible?!

Although she didn't know what happened to Gu Xinian in her previous life, one thing was obvious. Gu Xinian didn't want to get involved in the bloody storm of the crown prince and the third prince fighting for the throne again in this life. Therefore, he deliberately acted like a lazy idler, and even hid his closest family members. The third prince obviously wooed him several times behind his back, but he didn't agree. Empress Gu intended to find an official position for him, but he refused to ask for it.

How can such a Gu Xinian be willing to re-enter the court? What happened in between?

"The eldest brother has become a household servant," Gu Xiyu obviously didn't know how big this official was, so he humbly asked for advice: "What does a household servant do?" Is this official big? ”

……

When she was in school, she was the worst at history. In order to cope with the exam, I memorized a lot of things. But as soon as the exam is over, it will basically be returned to the teacher. How did she know what position this household servant was? However, when I hear this name, I think it seems to be very powerful.

In Gu Xiyu's heart, Ye Qinglan knew almost everything. Therefore, when she asked a question, she was very relieved to wait for Ye Qinglan to answer.

Ye Qinglan suddenly felt a little ashamed under her eyes full of trust and dependence. I was going to fool around a few words at will, but when it came to my mouth, it turned into the truth: "I don't know much about this." If you're curious, why don't you just ask Cousin Gu? ”

Gu Xiyu looked innocent: "Big brother only started to go to court yesterday. I didn't even have time to ask him before I came to you. ”

Ye Qinglan was dumbfounded. There are many doubts behind this matter, and it will naturally be clear in the future, and it is obviously not appropriate to discuss such advanced issues with a single-celled girl like Gu Xiyu.

"That's right. There's something I almost forgot to ask you. Ye Qinglan smiled and opened the topic: "That Shen Chang'an, did you go to the Dingguo Mansion later?" ”

At the mention of Shen Chang'an, Gu Xiyu's attention was really attracted: "Well, I've been." ”

"How many times have you been?" Ye Qinglan is genuinely curious this time.

Gu Xiyu thought seriously for a long time. He replied uncertainly: "Thirty-eight, or thirty-nine, I don't remember very clearly." ”

……

It has only been more than a month since she came back from the Dingguo Mansion. In this way, doesn't Shen Changan go to the Dingguo Mansion every day?

Ye Qinglan suddenly had the urge to laugh. He asked, "Have you seen him?" ”

Gu Xiyu shook his head: "No, he hasn't even entered the gate." ”

In other words, Shen Changan visited every day. They are turned away every day. Seemingly. Recently, there have been no major events in the DPRK and China, at least on the surface. A military general like Shen Changan is so idle! It is really convincing to insist on handing over the name post every day for more than a month.

No wonder Gu Xinian agreed to Gu Xiyu to come to Changyuan Bo's Mansion, he simply wanted Gu Xiyu to avoid Shen Chang'an!

Ye Qinglan's gossip heart was burning: "Uncle, do they all know about it?" ”

If ordinary people dared to come to the door to harass them every day, I was afraid that they would have been beaten and thrown out by the guards of the Dingguo Mansion a long time ago. But Shen Changan is an upright court official and the only son of the mighty general Shen Ming. If you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, you can't really beat him out with a stick!

Gu Xiyu said a rare long sentence: "I know." My father and mother seem to have had an argument with my grandfather and grandmother over this. ”

What exactly is the dispute. She didn't know much either. Mrs. Zheng was in front of her and never wanted to elaborate. only told her to stay in the boudoir with peace of mind, saying that they would handle Shen Changan's affairs properly.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyu was a little confused again: "I don't understand, why are they arguing for Shen Changan?" ”

Ye Qinglan stared at Gu Xiyu's amazing face, and decided to tell Gu Xiyu the truth: "Shen Changan likes you and wants to marry you." Your grandfather and grandmother probably agreed, but your aunt and uncle-in-law and Cousin Gu firmly disagreed. That's why they have an argument. Every time he comes to the door, the person he wants to see is not Cousin Gu, but you. ”

Because Gu Xiyu's temperament is different from ordinary people, the relatives around her spare no effort to protect her. This also made the thirteen-year-old Gu Xiyu ignorant of the world, and mentally speaking, he was still a child at all.

In fact, this practice is not a good thing for Gu Xiyu at all. Excessive protection will only hinder Gu Xiyu's growth. She can't live under the protection of her family for the rest of her life, and one day, she will have to get married and have children and live her own life. No matter how sorry her family is, it is impossible to protect her for the rest of her life. She had to learn to grow up.

The appearance of Shen Changan is actually a good opportunity. made Gu Xiyu have the consciousness of a girl, began to grow up in ignorance, and began to slowly have her own ideas and opinions. At such a time, what he has to do is to help Gu Xiyu clear his thoughts.

Gu Xiyu was really stunned when she heard this, and the handsome man's face suddenly flashed in her mind.

He likes her...... I still want to marry her...... He actually wanted to see her when he came to the Dingguo Mansion every day......

"Cousin Xiyu, think about it. If he were to marry you, would you marry him? Ye Qinglan's gentle and calm voice sounded in Gu Xiyu's ears.

Gu Xiyu's mind was confused and dazed, but she reflexively replied: "No, I don't want to get married." ”

Ye Qinglan asked, "Do you not want to marry, or do you not want to marry Shen Changan?" "There's a big difference between the two.

Gu Xiyu's eyes were blank: "I don't understand." ”

Ye Qinglan said patiently: "You don't want to marry because you are afraid of getting along with strangers, afraid of leaving home and leaving your relatives to live in a strange environment." If this person were Shen Changan, would you be willing? ”

"But I don't want to get married." Gu Xiyu still didn't understand, and repeated aggrievedly: "I don't want to marry anyone." ”

Well, to ask in a different way. Ye Qinglan thought for a while, and then said, "The first time Shen Changan saw you, he suddenly offended you. You were scared to tears. But later, when Shen Changan came to the Dingguo Mansion, why were you willing to see him? You hate seeing people the most, don't you? ”

Gu Xiyu's mind was in a mess, and strange and strange irritability surged in her heart. Suddenly I wanted Ye Qinglan to stop asking. But as soon as this idea came out, she was startled by herself. She has always liked to listen to Ye Qinglan the most, why is she so impetuous tonight?

Is it because Ye Qinglan keeps mentioning that name?

Ye Qinglan had been sitting beside Gu Xiyu, and naturally saw Gu Xiyu's irritability, confusion and panic in her eyes, and she only felt relieved in her heart.

Gu Xiyu was really growing up slowly, and began to be upset about hearing a man's name like an ordinary girl. Maybe she didn't realize it herself, but in fact, Shen Changan was very special to her.

Shen Changan is not the first person to love her, Zheng Junyan is the first man to confess to her. But at that time, Gu Xiyu didn't listen to Zheng Junyan's words at all, so she rejected him ignorantly. After knowing that Zheng Junyan and Ye Qingning were married, Gu Xiyu was no different.

But when it comes to Shen Chang'an, Gu Xiyu's general expression is not the same as usual. Regardless of whether those fluctuating feelings are liked or hated or something else, in short, being able to provoke Gu Xiyu's different feelings is enough to show that Shen Changan is special in her heart.

Gu Xiyu thought for a long, long time and didn't speak.

Ye Qinglan didn't say a word, just quietly accompanied Gu Xiyu all the time.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Xiyu finally came back to her senses, and there was some water in her dark eyes: "Cousin Lan, I actually like him a little bit." The voice is thin, but there is no doubt that it is an affirmative sentence, and it is by no means a question.

Ye Qinglan's spirits perked up, and a shallow smile appeared on her lips: "Cousin Xiyu, have you really figured it out?" ”

Gu Xiyu bit her lip and nodded slightly. has grown so big, except for her eldest brother, she has come into contact with very few men, and there is no way to compare. She still doesn't quite understand what it means to like.

If you don't feel annoying to think of a person, and you still have a little bit of a willingness to see him, you should just like it!

Somehow, Gu Xiyu didn't feel much joy, but sobbed in a low voice. The crystal tears slipped down one by one, and quickly dripped onto the placket of the clothes, smudging a small piece of wetness.

Ye Qinglan sighed lightly with pity, stretched out her hand to wrap her hand around Gu Xiyu's shoulder, and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, when a girl grows up, it's normal to have a good impression of a man." There is no need to be ashamed or afraid. ”

Gu Xiyu sobbed and cried: "But, but, I still don't want to marry......"

If it weren't for the fact that the situation and place were wrong, Ye Qinglan almost laughed, and continued to comfort you softly: "Shen Changan is infatuated with you, so he naturally wants to marry you." However, my aunt and uncle and cousin Gu did not agree to this family business. So, you don't have to worry about getting married for the time being. It is estimated that within a few years, you will not have the trouble of getting married. ”

Gu Xiyu snorted in a nasal voice.

Gu Xiyu was tired from crying, and naturally fell asleep. Ye Qinglan covered the futon for her, tucked the corners of the quilt, and then lay down beside Gu Xiyu. However, he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

What Gu Xiyu said just now actually revealed a lot of information.

Shen Changan goes to the Dingguo Mansion every day, and it is impossible for his father Shen Ming not to know. The people of the Dingguo Mansion know it even better, and maybe even Queen Gu in the palace knows it.
