Poetry Club? What is this, how can it sound like it doesn't sound good?

Ye Qinglan quickly responded: "My body is not very good, I have to rest and recuperate, and it is not suitable to go out and walk around at will." Please also forgive Cousin Gu. ”

Gu Xinian smiled elegantly and calmly: "Cousin, please rest assured, the poetry club is purely a poetry meeting, not only men but also women participate." Cousin doesn't have to worry. ”

He took a bite of his cousin, and Ye Qingning, a genuine cousin who listened to it, felt sour in his heart, and couldn't help but interject: "Cousin, there is such a poetry meeting, why don't you invite me to participate?" ”

Gu Xinian smiled slightly: "If my cousin wants to participate, she is naturally welcome." ”

Ye Qingning turned his anger into joy at this time, and he didn't even think about it, so he responded: "Okay, I'll go with the tenth sister when the time comes." ”

……

Ye Qinglan glanced at Ye Qingning silently, resisting the urge to look up to the sky and sigh. The expressions of the crowd were also very subtle. Especially Mrs. Zheng, if she still can't see Gu Xinian's special attention to Ye Qinglan, it would be in vain to be a mother.

What is the charm of this little girl with a pale face that makes Gu Xinian's brothers and sisters look at her differently?

Zheng also frowned slightly. Ye Qingning's admiration for Gu Xinian was clearly written on his face, who could not see it from the people present? No matter how good Gu Xinian is, he is by no means a good match for Ye Qingning......

At this moment, a maid quickly walked over and broke the delicate calm: "Madam, lunch has been prepared, Mother Huang ordered the slave maid to ask, is the banquet going now?" ”

Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile.

So, a group of people walked towards Jingxin Garden.

Ye Qinglan held back her sullen stomach and deliberately walked slower. It's a pity that this safe method didn't work this time. Ye Qingning walked beside her, and the unhappiness in her eyes was very obvious.

Isn't it obvious where her unhappiness comes from?

It's rare to come to Dingguo Mansion, and it's rare to see your sweetheart. But the attention of his sweetheart has not been on himself. On the contrary, he paid frequent attention to Ye Qinglan. Does that make her not annoyed?

Ye Qinglan felt innocent, but she had to explain a little: "Sixth sister, don't be angry, I didn't have the intention to provoke Cousin Gu......" The voice was extremely low.

Ye Qingning snorted lightly and glanced at Ye Qinglan: "What you said is good." If you hadn't provoked your cousin, why did your cousin keep talking to you today? ”

She didn't know what was going on! Ye Qinglan laughed self-deprecatingly: "Perhaps, is it because Cousin Gu thinks I'm good-looking?" ”

The joke wasn't funny at all.

Ye Qingning didn't even bother to pay attention to her this time. admires Gu Xinian's capital nobles a lot, among which there are many dignified, beautiful and talented. And then there are those Qinglou flower prostitutes and singers, what kind of beauty has Gu Xinian not seen? Even if Ye Qinglan grows well, it is now a green bud. How could it be possible to attract Gu Xinian's attention.

Ye Qingning sulked to himself, and sat down in the flower hall of Jingxin Garden, and his face looked a little better.

Ye Qinglan was in the limelight just now. Now I have made up my mind to be a low-key person, sitting beside Ye Qingning honestly, hanging my head and not saying a word.

Gu Xiyu sat beside Mrs. Zheng, but glanced at Ye Qinglan a few times.

Mrs. Zheng saw it in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking about in her heart. On his face, he chatted with Zheng casually.

It stands to reason that men and women should sit at separate tables. Gu Xinian was rarely interested in eating and chatting with his daughters. But today, for some reason, Gu Xinian took the initiative to enter the table, sat next to Gu Xiyu, and happened to sit face to face with Ye Qinglan.

Is it intentional or coincidental, does this question need to be asked?

Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes in her heart. I knew there would be such trouble. She should have pretended to be sick today.

After a while, the delicate delicacies were delivered one by one. Naturally, the masters don't have to do anything, and they have their own maids to help with the cloth.

Rui Xue just grabbed a few chopsticks and put them in Ye Qinglan's bowl. I listened to Ye Qinglan's gentle instructions: "Okay, don't be busy." ”

Even though she hadn't looked up, she could feel two eyes staring at her. She is still in the mood to eat and drink, and she wishes it would be better to end it soon and leave early.

Rui Xue silently retreated behind Ye Qinglan.

Mrs. Zheng kept an eye on the movement on the table, and saw that Ye Qinglan only ate two bites and put her chopsticks aside. Busy smiled with concern: "Sister Lan, is the food not to your taste?" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at it in unison.

Ye Qinglan smiled apologetically: "The meal is very good." It's just that I've been feeling unwell lately and don't have much appetite. I'll be fine when I go back and rest for two days, but my aunt will worry about me. That's a lot of skill. In the future, as long as the Dingguo Mansion invites her to be a guest, she can use this excuse to refuse.

Mrs. Zheng was so transparent, she suddenly heard the song and knew the elegance, and smiled slightly.

"Is Cousin Lan unwell?" Gu Xinian's slightly surprised voice sounded: "Then you have to recuperate." I happen to know a few famous doctors in Beijing, and I will ask them to give you a pulse another day, and then prescribe a few prescriptions for health and fitness. ”

Ye Qinglan's teeth itched with hatred in her heart, but she forced out a smile and responded: "Thank you Cousin Gu for your concern, don't be so troublesome." Before my mother left Beijing, she asked a doctor to see me and prescribed medicine. ”

Ye Qingning naturally took over the conversation: "Yes, the tenth sister is weak and needs to recuperate for a long time. What prescription to use is secondary. ”

No matter what reason Ye Qingning used to help, Ye Qinglan expressed her deep gratitude at this moment.

Gu Xinian smiled faintly and stopped.

After eating, the maids removed the remnants of the table. Everyone went to the side hall again, drinking tea and chatting. Ye Qinglan made up her mind not to make a sound, sat upright in her chair, and listened with a smile.

Gu Xinian sat leisurely opposite Ye Qinglan, his gaze occasionally swept over Ye Qinglan's attentive face, and then moved away without a trace.

At this moment, a young man with clear eyebrows quietly walked in and whispered a few words in Gu Xinian's ear.

Gu Xinian's brows furrowed slightly, and then he returned to normal, got up with a light smile and said, "Auntie, cousins, I have to retire first for some things, so I won't accompany you." ”

Zheng Shi hurriedly smiled: "You have something serious to do and hurry up, you don't need to accompany us." ”

Gu Xinian smiled faintly, and before leaving, he quickly glanced at Ye Qinglan. Ye Qinglan didn't notice it and kept hanging her head. Gu Xinian tugged at the corners of his lips, and an intriguing smile flashed in his eyes. Then he departed.

It's finally gone! Ye Qinglan breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.

Ye Qingning reluctantly looked at Gu Xinian's back, and it was not until the tall figure completely disappeared at the door that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Zheng took in Ye Qingning's expression, and felt unhappy for a while, but his face did not show it at all. asked Mrs. Zheng with concern: "Xi Nian is not too young, so he can't go on like this forever!" ”

Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly: "I don't know how many times I've talked about him, but he just doesn't nod." You also saw it just now, as soon as he mentioned it, he immediately changed the topic......" said, and sighed deeply: "He is also too stubborn." It's been a few years since that incident, and he still can't let it go. ”

That thing? What is it?

Ye Qinglan suddenly pricked up her ears, lest she miss a word.

Zheng also knew a lot about the old incident, and sighed when he heard it: "Xi Nian is also a long-term affection, and it is inevitable that he can't let it go." Maybe in another two years he'll be fine. ”

"I hope so!" Mrs. Zheng sighed again: "To tell you what I mean, as long as he is willing to nod, no matter who he wants to marry, I will admit it." ”

Ye Qingning bit his lip lightly, and a strange light flashed in his big eyes.

Ye Qinglan had already seen Ye Qingning's strange appearance in the corner of her eyes, and she was secretly shocked in her heart. She always thought that Ye Qingning was just a girlish feeling for Gu Xinian, just like a girl worshipping an idol, just a temporary infatuation. But now it seems that Ye Qingning's affection for Gu Xinian is much deeper than she imagined......

"Xi Nian refuses to marry, there should always be a few people around him who know the cold and the hot!" Zheng comforted his sister: "As long as they take care of Xi Nian's daily life, you don't have to worry about it." ”

At this time, it is common for aristocratic men to have three wives and four concubines, even if they don't marry a wife, there should always be a few interpretation flowers around them.

Mrs. Zheng smiled bitterly again: "Don't mention it." ”

Zheng was stunned: "Why, there is no maid in the connecting room around him?" ”

Mrs. Zheng sighed: "No, I gave him two a few months ago, but he sent them to the pulp washing room. The two flower-like maids washed their clothes for half a month, and then wept and cried in front of her to plead. She had to say a few words of comfort and quietly sent out of the house.

After this incident, she didn't dare to assert herself, so she had to rely on his temperament.

There are still such bad women in these days. Zheng didn't know what to say, and said after a while: "Maybe his fate hasn't arrived yet." Maybe one day, he really took a fancy to a girl from a certain family and personally came to the door to ask for marriage. ”

These words are clearly words of comfort.

Mrs. Zheng smiled, and there was an indescribable bitterness in her smile.

A pair of children is her pride, her son is handsome and talented, and her daughter is beautiful and well-behaved. Whoever mentioned it a few years ago was not envious and praised. Can ...... now

Seeing that men of the same age have married and had children, Gu Xinian is still alone. Daughter Gu Xiyu is becoming more and more withdrawn, how can such a character marry someone and be a housewife in the future?

Ye Qinglan was also pondering the conversation between the Zheng sisters just now.

Listening to the words of the two of them, Gu Xinian has never been married, and there are no concubines around him. For a young man in the prime of his life, this is really abnormal. Let's not talk about Gu Xinian's proud family background, just with his face, what kind of woman he wants is a matter of hand.

What kind of old thing is that makes Gu Xinian such a deep and unfathomable man?
