Chapter Seventy-Four: Chaos
A familiar figure suddenly caught my eye.
Ye Qinglan was taken aback, why did she come with her?
Ye Qingning also followed her gaze, and was also stunned: "Why is Cousin Xiyu here?" "The beautiful girl who followed behind Mrs. Zheng with her head hanging her head is not Gu Xiyu, who else?
Gu Xiyu is cowardly by nature and has always been afraid of crowded places. Why are you willing to come to the cherry blossom viewing party this time?
Ye Qinglan's sharp eyes saw that Gu Xiyu's body was trembling slightly, and an indescribable anger rose in her heart. I also know that Gu Xiyu didn't come out voluntarily at all, she must have been forced by Mrs. Zheng to come.
Mrs. Zheng may also have her own considerations, but as everyone knows, the more she forces Gu Xiyu to get close to the crowd, the stronger Gu Xiyu's sense of rejection of the crowd will be. Autism will not be alleviated, but will worsen.
Mrs. Zheng obviously also noticed Gu Xiyu's abnormality, but she ignored it ruthlessly. used to be too used to her, so he would let her become more and more withdrawn. Seeing that she is getting older day by day, she has reached the age of talking about marriage, how can she be so afraid of a place where there are many people?
Xu Shi greeted him with a smile, greeted him politely, and his eyes naturally fell on Gu Xiyu.
This beautiful and withdrawn and introverted girl became the focus of everyone as soon as she came in. These inquisitive glances range from well-intentioned inquiry to malicious speculation. Who doesn't know that Miss Gu from the Dingguo Mansion never appears on such social occasions, and her sudden appearance today has caused a lot of sensation.
Gu Xiyu lowered her head, but she could still feel that a lot of eyes fell on her body, her pretty face was as pale as paper, her mind was blank, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She felt so uncomfortable that she felt like she was suffocating......
I don't know who accidentally touched her. This touch. Tearing the last string in her head hard. She screamed reflexively.
The scream was so loud and loud that everyone in the hall was startled.
The girl who inadvertently touched Gu Xiyu was Zheng Min, she didn't expect that her careless actions would provoke such a fierce reaction from the other party, and her face suddenly turned red. Tears rolled in his eyes, and he apologized incoherently: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm not a ...... of heart"
Gu Xiyu hid behind Mrs. Zheng and cried quietly.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect to cause such a mess, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister Min was careless for a while, I'm really sorry." ”
The most uncomfortable person at this time is none other than Mrs. Zheng. She has always been down-to-earth and generous, and her demeanor is elegant and composed. But at this time, he was also a little at a loss and flustered, and he couldn't care about Mrs. Xu's reaction for a while, and turned around and hugged Gu Xiyu in his arms. whispered and coaxed: "Yu'er, don't be afraid, my mother is here, don't be afraid of Yu'er......"
At this time, her regretful intestines were blue.
If she had known that Gu Xiyu reacted so violently, she would not have forced Gu Xiyu to come to the British Mansion with her. It's good now. In front of so many ladies in the capital, Gu Xiyu made such a big move, and her reputation was completely ruined. Who will dare to come to the door to propose marriage in the future?
Zheng Shi seemed to be concerned and stepped forward to appease a few words, but there was a trace of unnoticed joy in his heart. This trouble is really wonderful, Mrs. Xu saw Gu Xiyu's gaffe with her own eyes, how could she think about going to the Dingguo Mansion to propose marriage? Zheng Junyan, the fast son-in-law of the dragon. is destined to be her daughter Ye Qingning, and no one else can snatch it away......
Gu Xiyu shrunk and sobbed in Mrs. Zheng's arms, refusing to look up again.
Mrs. Zheng was anxious, annoyed, and regretful. There was a mess in my head. She has always been calm and rational, but she also lost her sense of proportion, and glared at Zheng Min: "What are you doing touching Yu'er?" ”
As a concubine, it was the first time for Zheng Min to go out on such a crowded and lively occasion, and she was already a little nervous, and she inadvertently got into trouble again. The tears were already on the verge of falling, and they were swept away by Mrs. Zheng's sharp eyes. Tears fell suddenly.
Mrs. Xu pressed down the annoyance and unhappiness in her heart, and reprimanded Zheng Min in a low voice. Zheng Min could still speak, just bowed his head and cried.
Xu's master was the most embarrassed, and he didn't know who to persuade first. Both girls were crying, and although their voices were not high, they had already attracted all their attention. This flower-viewing feast has not yet begun, but it is already in full swing.
"Cousin Xiyu," a sweet and soft voice sounded.
Everyone looked at it in unison. Ye Qinglan, who had been silent, quietly walked to Gu Xiyu's side at some point, and her voice was strangely calm and calm: "It's too noisy here, I'll accompany you out to breathe." ”
Familiar voices came through a cacophony of sounds.
Gu Xiyu's crying stopped.
Ye Qinglan quickly whispered, "Cousin Xiyu, can you look up at me?" I'm Ye Qinglan, you must remember me, right? ”
Ye Qinglan......
Gu Xiyu raised her misty teary eyes, and the two tears on her face were extremely obvious. The timid eyes make people feel pitiful.
Ye Qinglan didn't get too close to her, just looked at her with gentle and encouraging eyes: "Let's go out together and come back." ”
There was an inexplicable light flashing in those gentle and calm eyes, which made people unconsciously calm down. Unconsciously, Gu Xiyu's crying stopped.
Seeing that Gu Xiyu stopped crying, Mrs. Zheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly echoed softly: "Yu'er, I will also accompany you." ”
Gu Xiyu finally nodded, and walked out, accompanied by Mrs. Zheng and Ye Qinglan.
As soon as Gu Xiyu left, Zheng Min, who was still crying, looked very eye-catching. Zhang Yue hurriedly smiled and leaned over, and coaxed in a low voice: "Sister Min, don't cry, go to the next room to rest for a while before coming over, okay?" As he spoke, he pulled Zheng Min out.
This is the end of a turmoil.
Xu Shi breathed a deep sigh of relief, and continued to greet the ladies of various provinces with a smiling face. Everyone was very transparent, and no one mentioned the farce that had just happened, and laughed casually. The hall suddenly regained its previous liveliness.
Zheng and Mrs. Xu sat down together, Mrs. Xu's face was as usual, but Zheng knew that her mood at the moment would definitely not be much better. Just now, Mrs. Zheng reprimanded Zheng Min in a hurry, which is a very rude move. Even though Zheng Min is just an insignificant concubine, Mrs. Zheng's doing this also made Mrs. Xu lose face.
"My sister is also distressed and cherishes jade, and I just said a word to Sister Min in a hurry." Zheng comforted: "Don't take it to heart. ”
Mrs. Xu smiled casually: "Don't worry, I haven't taken these little things to heart." ”
Zheng was secretly amused in his heart. The more Mrs. Xu expressed her calmness, the more it showed that she was really annoyed in her heart. Annoyed, annoyed, she wished Mrs. Xu would be angry again......
Mrs. Xu refused to continue the topic, and glanced at Ye Qingning with a smile: "Sister Ning, is she okay lately?" ”
Ye Qingning tugged at the corners of his lips: "Thank you aunt for your concern, I've been doing well lately." ”
Zheng thought that her attitude was not enthusiastic enough, and glanced at her without a trace. Although Ye Qingning was reluctant in his heart, he had to squeeze out a sweet smile: "By the way, aunt, I learned a new qin song a few days ago, and when the flower viewing banquet starts, I'll play it for you, okay?" ”
Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile and quickly made a decision in her heart.
Compared with Gu Xiyu, who cries endlessly and can't see outsiders, the generous and decent Ye Qingning is obviously more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of Zheng Guogong's mansion......
Thinking of Gu Xiyu, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but think of Ye Qinglan, and asked tentatively, "When will Sister Lan get along with Xiyu so well?" When everyone was at a loss, Ye Qinglan coaxed Gu Xiyu to stop crying and go out obediently with a few words, which is not something ordinary people can do.
Zheng said lightly: "Maybe it's the two of them who fell in love!" Speaking of which, I've only met twice. Quietly pulled the topic away again.
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Mrs. Xu didn't ask any questions, and changed the topic very cooperatively. That little accident just now didn't seem to have any effect. Only the Zheng family and Mrs. Xu know each other well, and there are some things that should be handled soon......
At this time, Gu Xiyu, accompanied by Ye Qinglan and Mrs. Zheng, walked out of the noisy main hall. The tears on her face were not dry, her expression was dazed, her mind was dizzy, she didn't know where to go, and she stopped at a loss. Pitiful and helpless like a wounded fawn.
When Mrs. Zheng saw her like this, she felt so sad that tears suddenly welled up.
Such a dignified and decent middle-aged lady has the most important etiquette and demeanor on weekdays, and never refuses to lose her temper in front of people. Now he actually cried in front of Ye Qinglan, an outsider......
Ye Qinglan's heart was also a little sour, and the slight bad feeling she had for Mrs. Zheng suddenly disappeared.
As a mother who loves her daughter, Mrs. Zheng's move is definitely well-intentioned. It's just that Gu Xiyu is different from ordinary girls, and such persecution will only backfire.
Gu Xiyu looked at her crying mother in a daze, her heart became more and more uncomfortable, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes. But her expression was still so dazed. It's like a catastrophe but you don't know how to end it.
The big girl on the side, Mo Xiangyu and others, were all panicked, and hurriedly gathered around to comfort and comfort.
Ye Qinglan's identity is quite embarrassing, and it seems inappropriate to do anything at this time. However, Ye Qinglan was born with the ability to turn embarrassment for granted, and stepped forward to persuade: "Auntie, it's inconvenient to talk here, let's find a secluded place to stay for a while!" It's not too late to come back when Cousin Xiyu's mood calms down. ”
The sweet girl's voice seemed to have a kind of magic that made people calm quickly.
Mrs. Zheng lowered her head, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and raised her head again, her expression was much calmer. After looking around, he led Gu Xiyu to the pavilion on the side.
This pavilion is surrounded by trees, and it is quite secluded. The well-trained maids each went outside the pavilion.
But Gu Xiyu was like opening a tear box, and the tears never stopped.
