Chapter 561: New Year
The current situation was designed by him and General Shen, who was far away at the border, and of course he knew it well.
As for where the magic of this is done, it will be clear in the future.
Facing the shrewd and deep grandfather, Gu Xinian also had to deal with it carefully, and pretended to be surprised when he heard the words: "What does grandfather mean by that." I am busy in the household department every day for food, grass and military salaries, where do I still have the leisure to think about these things. As he spoke, he sighed again: "I also wish that the war would end as soon as possible." If it goes on like this, the household department won't last long. ”
Gu Yanhe knocked a few more words on the side, and Gu Xinian pretended to be stupid and perfunctory. Gu Yanhe couldn't ask anything, so he had to let him go back to Izumo Xuan.
Gu Xinian was worried about keeping vigil with his wife, and hurried back to the yard all the way. I never thought that as soon as I stepped into the house, I was greeted with a big "surprise"!
"The slave has seen the son!" The tall and beautiful maid saluted shyly. The familiar face was simply shocking under the candlelight.
Gu Xinian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Qinglan reflexively.
Ye Qinglan walked over with a slow smile: "Xianggong, this maid is called Begonia." It was the maid who was given to you by your grandmother. This kind of good intentions, as a junior, naturally cannot be shirked. So I took advantage of the fact that I got her back tonight. After a pause, he teased narrowly: "Looking at this face, is it particularly exciting?" ”
Sure enough, it was my grandmother's ghost!
Gu Xinian's handsome face immediately sank, and there was a hint of chill in his voice: "Is she idle all day and has nothing to do?" "Hell, where did you find such a maid. There are five points like Shen Qiuyu back then! At first glance, it would be strange if my heart could still be calm!
But. Such unrest, but without the slightest throbbing or joy. It's boredom and abhorrence
Ye Qinglan smiled pointedly: "There is also a maid named Peony, who has been comprehended by her younger siblings and listened to Yuxuan." Listen to grandmother. Both of these maids were sent by others. I don't know who is so hearted, and he deliberately found two maids who were so peugeot and sent them over. ”
Gu Xinian was so keen, he naturally heard something unusual, and his eyes darkened.
The husband and wife quickly exchanged a look, and both saw the anger in each other's eyes.
Who else would go to great lengths to do this kind of thing, but Shen Qiuyu? It's a shame that she can come up with such a trick, even if Gu Xinian refuses to accept this begonia, she has successfully responded to Ye Qinglan. If Ye Qinglan had a smaller amount of energy, maybe she would have quarreled with Gu Xinian by now!
Think about it. The anger in Gu Xinian's heart surged up, and he snorted coldly: "I didn't take the initiative to deal with her, but she refused to stop, and even made a move to deal with you." ”
Ye Qinglan didn't answer, and gave a faint order: "Ruixue, lead the Begonia girl to settle down!" Ruomei, you also step aside. ”
The two maids responded in unison and led the begonia to retreat. Haitang was also obedient, but she glanced at Gu Xinian reluctantly when she was leaving. Not to mention. That glance was quite a bit of Shen Qiuyu's demeanor.
Gu Xinian's face darkened a little more.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but laugh, and quipped: "People are kind enough to send a beautiful and amorous maid, if you don't appreciate it, it's just that, why do you still have a straight face." Those who don't know have seen it. I thought it was my wife's jealousy that made you angry! ”
Gu Xinian glanced at her angrily: "Okay, I'm on fire in my heart, don't add fuel to the fire." It's better to think about how to return this trick. ”
Ye Qinglan blinked. You smiled: "I don't care about this. Grandmother has spoken, and a wife must be virtuous. You can't stop your husband from sleeping with another woman. I don't want to be left behind. So, you can handle this matter however you want. I have no opinion. ”
It's really cheap, and you have to sell well! Gu Xinian glared at her with a smile and laughter, and was about to say something, when a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the corners of his lips slowly hooked.
Ye Qinglan asked curiously, "What idea did you come up with?" ”
"You'll find out in a few days." Gu Xinian had a plan in his heart, and he was in the mood to laugh again: "Don't worry, even if I really want to find another woman, I will never pick this kind of thing that makes you feel embarrassed at a glance." ”
Ye Qinglan was amused, and pretended to be a fierce tigress: "You dare!" I'll castrate you with a knife! ”
Gu Xinian: ""
Such a fierce joke, the man who grew up under the feudal etiquette is really unbearable.
Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xinian's speechless appearance and giggled happily. Gu Xinian was a little annoyed and rude, and pulled her into his arms, and blocked her lips without saying anything
The new year is quietly coming in a string of deafening firecrackers.
No matter what way to use, in short, Ye Qinglan also stayed up until the time passed, and then fell asleep with sweat and exhaustion to the sound of firecrackers. Before he could get enough sleep, he was awakened by a crackling sound.
Ye Qinglan opened her eyes, only to find that the morning light was faint, the sky was bright, and it was probably not yet time.
Gu Xinian also woke up, looked at his sleepy-eyed lazy and charming little wife, and couldn't help but bow his head and ask for a good morning kiss. I wanted to do some morning exercise or something, but Ye Qinglan resolutely stopped me: "Today is the first day of the new year, if you get up late, it's strange not to be teased." ”
Gu Xinian had to reluctantly let go of her.
After getting dressed, the husband and wife went to Jingxin Garden first. Gu Xiyu has also arrived, and Gu Shengnian's husband and wife are also there with their three children. After all, it's the New Year, and having children always seems to be very lively. Mrs. Zheng also lost her previous coldness, and called the three children to her side with a smile, and each of them was rewarded with a delicate gold collar.
Gu Xiyu spontaneously leaned over and looked at Mrs. Zheng with blank eyes.
Mrs. Zheng obviously prepared a New Year's gift, but she deliberately smiled: "You are seventeen years old after the New Year, you are already a big girl, you shouldn't ask for New Year's gifts!" ”
Gu Xiyu replied with words: "But I haven't married yet, my sister-in-law said that as long as girls are not married, they are still children, not adults." Of course, gifts are indispensable! ”
Mrs. Zheng was amused, and stuffed the prepared small purse into Gu Xiyu's hand: "Yes, yes, what you said is reasonable, I will reward you with a small purse." "The purse is small but delicate, the embroidery is excellent, and the point is that there is a large and round night pearl inside. Even in the daytime, it still shines brightly.
Ye Qinglan secretly exclaimed, just this night pearl, I don't know how much it is worth. Mrs. Zheng took it out lightly and gave it to Gu Xiyu
Gu Xiyu really liked it very much, and put it in the palm of her hand with great interest.
Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "Such a good night pearl, it must look good when inlaid on the hairpin." ”
Gu Xiyu responded with a smile: "My golden hairpin is enough, there is no need to waste such good beads." It's still in the box, just five of them, and I can play with marbles when I'm fine. ”
It's too luxurious to play with the night pearl as a glass bead!!
Before Ye Qinglan could sigh, Mrs. Zheng was already smiling and beckoning to her. Ye Qinglan hurriedly gathered her mind, walked a few steps forward with a smile, and saluted her in-laws.
Compared with the deep and shrewd father and the shrewd son, Gu Hong's temperament is much gentler, and he said with a smile: "When the family is together, there is no need for so many courtesies. ”
Mrs. Zheng was also very kind: "This year is the first year that you have passed the door, and I, as a mother-in-law, have also prepared a small New Year's gift for you." Whether it suits your heart or not, just want to have a lively and festive time. As he spoke, he took out a delicate and small purse.
There's still her share! Ye Qinglan was a little flattered, and took the purse with respectful hands: "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”
This purse is the same as Gu Xiyu's, but what is placed in it is not a night pearl, but a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg. It is a ruby that has not been carefully polished, but it has a dazzling color. If it is polished and made into jewelry, I don't know what kind of brilliance it will be.
But no woman can resist such a beautiful ruby. Ye Qinglan didn't have to pretend to be happy.
Fan Shi looked at the hot eyes, and couldn't help but say: "In the end, it is still the younger brother and sister who are likable, and my mother-in-law even gave you such a good ruby." I've been there for so many years, and I've never had such a good New Year's gift. Although he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, the sourness in his words filled the room.
Ye Qinglan smiled but said nothing.
Mrs. Zheng's smile faded, and for the sake of the New Year, she didn't bother to worry about Fan. got up and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go to Shunyi Hall to say goodbye!" ”
Gu Shengnian glanced at Fan Shi with some unhappiness. Although he didn't say a word, his eyes showed his mood at this time.
Fan's invisibly bored and a little ridiculous. After that, he obediently followed behind Mrs. Zheng and didn't dare to talk anymore.
The New Year is going to be lively and festive, and even Sun's face is rare today. Of course, this may also be because Ye Qinglan obediently accepted the begonia, and Sun consciously pulled back a game, which was quite a bit of a feeling of raising his eyebrows. Looking at Ye Qinglan is not as unpleasant as it used to be.
In the days that followed, there were waves of friends and relatives who came and went every day, hardly stopping.
Mrs. Zheng was busy ushering in the send-off, arranging banquets and other trivial matters, and she was almost too busy to touch the ground. As a daughter-in-law, Ye Qinglan naturally has the unshirkable responsibility to follow Mrs. Zheng, and she really experienced the busy and hard work of being a housewife. Not to mention anything else, just walking around every day, at night my legs are sore and limp, and I can barely stand up.
On the sixth day of the new year, unexpected guests arrived.
The crown prince led Shen Qiuyu to the Dingguo Mansion. (To be continued......)
