Chapter 377: Ice Release

This night is destined to be an unusual night, and there is more than one person who tosses and turns and can't sleep.

Shen Changan didn't open his eyes groggily until around the hour. I wanted to take advantage of the situation and not leave all night, but the little maid who was waiting on the side said politely: "The young master has already ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and he can send Shen Gongzi back to his house at any time." ”

Shen Changan said cheekily: "I have to talk to Brother Zheng Xian before leaving." "It would be better if I could see Gu Xiyu again.

The little guy smiled and said, "Now that the time has passed, the young master and the young grandmother are afraid that they have already gone to bed." ”

Shen Changan had to reluctantly leave.

At this time, Zheng Junyan was in Songtao Courtyard.

Since Meng Zijun arrived at the Zheng Guogong Mansion, the originally idle Songtao Courtyard has become his residence. This is a two-entry courtyard, and there are naturally a lot of rooms. In addition to the lower room, there are four main rooms. Mencius stayed in one of them, and the other three were empty.

Meng Zijun originally planned to let Gu Xinian live in the guest room of Danfeng Garden, but Gu Xinian smiled and said, "I won't bother you and Cousin Ning, I'll just live in Songtao Courtyard." Then, he looked at Meng Zijun politely: "Cousin Meng won't think I'm too disturbed!" ”

Meng Zijun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Welcome." ”

At this time, if he couldn't see that Gu Xinian was deliberately targeting himself, Meng Zijun would have lived in vain for so many years. But the reason for this is very interesting. No matter what Gu Xinian's intentions are, he insists on staying...... He's got it!

Gu Xinian pulled the corners of his lips with a smile, his eyes deep.

Both of them were willing, and Zheng Junyan had nothing to say. I had to accompany Gu Xinian to Songtao Courtyard. Fortunately, before Mencius came, all the rooms in this courtyard had been cleaned up. Occupancy is available at any time.

After settling down Gu Xinian, Zheng Junyan had no reason to stay. Somehow. But he refused to leave. Meng Zijun smiled and quipped: "Why hasn't my cousin gone back yet, don't let my cousin wait in a hurry." ”

Zheng Junyan smiled unnaturally: "I'll go back, and you guys should rest early." But he sighed secretly in his heart. On weekdays, he couldn't wait to go back to accompany his wife. But after a few days of awkward trouble, I quarreled again today, and my mood was really depressed. I don't even know how to go back to face Ye Qingning......

After Zheng Junyan left Songtao Temple, his pace slowed down. After a long time of grinding all the way, I returned to Danfeng Garden. Under the eaves of the porch hang two dim and hazy wind lamps, emitting a soft light. It's three quarters of the hour. Except for the mother-in-law who guarded the courtyard gate, everyone rested.

Zheng Junyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the house lightly. It's also a good thing for Ye Qingning to go to bed early, so as to save each other embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingning didn't sleep at all.

As soon as I walked to the door, before I could reach out and push it, the door opened. Ye Qing stood there quietly, his eyes complex and subtle. But he didn't say anything.

Zheng Junyan didn't know what to say for a while, so the two stood silently opposite each other. One in the door. One is outside the door, obviously only a few steps apart, but it is like being separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. The atmosphere was frozen and silent.

Ye Qingning took a deep breath and broke the silence: "What are you doing standing outside?" Are you going to sleep at the door tonight? ”

As soon as the impasse was broken, it was broken. It's not that embarrassing. Zheng Junyan squeezed out a smile: "If you don't get out of the way, how can I get in." ”

Ye Qingning was dumbfounded, and then he found that he had been blocking the door. Silently stepped out of the way. Seeing Zheng Junyan walking in a little stiff and unnatural, Ye Qingning suddenly had the urge to laugh inexplicably. The tone softened naturally: "Look at the smell of wine in your body." I've drunk too much tonight! ”

Zheng Junyan had already prepared Ye Qingning to ignore him, but he didn't expect Ye Qingning to react like this. In addition to the accident, he was secretly happy in his heart, and responded with a smile: "I didn't drink much, Cousin Gu and Cousin Meng drank too much at noon, and they didn't drink at night." I just had a few drinks with my father. The smell of alcohol on my body is so strong because I accidentally spilled a glass of wine. ”

Ye Qingning wrinkled his nose and muttered, "This smell of wine is really bad, take a shower and come back to sleep." ”

Zheng Junyan snorted.

The hot water in the wooden barrel in the clean room was ready-made, and Zheng Junyan quickly took off his clothes and entered the wooden barrel. As soon as he sat down, the door of the clean room was pushed open. Zheng Junyan didn't reply: "I'll just wash it myself, don't wait, step down!" ”

A familiar voice sounded behind him: "I'll serve you personally, don't you want it?" It was Ye Qingning who came in.

Zheng Junyan was stunned for a moment, and asked reflexively, "What's wrong with you today?" "It's just that I don't get angry with him, and I even took the initiative to serve him in the bath. Such an intimate thing, he begged her many times and she refused, why did he refuse today?

She wasn't going to murder her husband in the shower!

The astonishment in Zheng Junyan's eyes greatly dampened Ye Qingning's self-esteem, and his tone suddenly became impatient and cold: "Do you want me to serve you to wash, don't pull it down, I'll leave." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave with a cold face.

When Zheng Junyan heard this, he was relieved, and said with a smile: "Don't go, don't go, you are willing to do it yourself, you can't ask for it for your husband." ”

Ye Qingning turned his anger into joy at this time, stepped forward with a smile, dipped a towel in hot water, and carefully wiped Zheng Junyan's shoulders, arms and chest exposed outside the barrel.

was so close, Zheng Junyan could clearly see the dimples on her cheeks, as well as her long eyelashes, flashing and flashing, extremely delicate and moving. That serious and focused look made his heart swell with a strange warmth.

After knowing each other for so many years, how could he not understand Ye Qingning's temperament and temper. I can't say anything like an apology when I beat her to death, and today's act is her "apology".

Zheng Junyan suppressed his anger for an afternoon, suddenly dispersed most of it, and whispered softly: "Ning'er, it's me who is not good today." You shouldn't be. ”

As soon as this gentle whisper entered his ears, the movements in Ye Qingning's hands paused. My nose was sour, and I didn't know what I felt in my heart, and my eyes were faintly red.

Zheng Junyan sighed lightly, reached out and stroked Ye Qingning's cheek, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her: "I did like Cousin Xiyu before, but since the two of us got married, I have completely let go of her." After getting married, I never thought about her. This time, the matter between her and Shen Changan really shocked me too much, so I expressed my abnormality. I didn't expect you to have a misunderstanding. You're angry because you care about me, it's me who is bad, I should explain it to you......"

"It's me, it's wrong." Ye Qingning sniffed, said with red eyes: "I shouldn't lose my temper at you, let alone say so many hurtful things." You must be by me today. ”

Zheng Junyan's temper has always been gentle, and it is the first time that he has brushed his sleeves away like today. Apparently really.

Zheng Junyan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I was really too impulsive today." I pride myself on demeanor on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be angry and out of proportion by a few words from you. I left in a fit of rage and sulked for the whole afternoon. After a pause, he whispered, "Are you also having a bad afternoon?" ”

Ye Qingning nodded: "I've been very uncomfortable, and I didn't figure it out until the evening." It's all my fault for today's events, and if I had been more generous, I wouldn't have quarreled with you. ”

"It's my fault. If I let you do more, I won't quarrel......"

"No, it's my fault..."

"Blame me ......"

The two argued for a few words, and then looked at each other and smiled, and finally misunderstood and reconciled. After such a time, the relationship between the two has become deeper.

After taking a bath, the young couple went back to the house affectionately and affectionately, and then hugged each other and whispered.

"Ning'er, my cousin is very angry today." Zheng Junyan's observation is also very keen: "He doesn't like Shen Changan at all. ”

Ye Qingning lay in his arms and hummed in a low voice: "Actually, Shen Changan went to the Dingguo Mansion last year. Moreover, I went for a month. It's a pity that his cousin and aunt don't like him and don't let him enter the house at all. Later, his cousin sent him to Shandong to suppress bandits. Haven't come back until now. Speaking of which, he's quite pathetic. Obviously, he and Xiyu's cousin are in love, but everyone disagrees with the two of them. ”

After Zheng Junyan calmed down, his envy and jealousy of Shen Changan dispersed a lot, and his speech was a lot more objective: "I can't blame my cousin." If I am the brother of my cousin Xiyu, I am not happy to see her marry Shen Changan. ”

Ye Qingning glared at him with a little dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with him being a military general, isn't he just reading less books?" The two just like each other, and they don't have to live on poetry and articles. ”

Zheng Junyan smiled: "I didn't mean that. However, there is one thing you have not thought about. Now that there is nothing to do at the border, Shen Changan can stay in the capital. In case of war at the border, he will go with his father on the expedition. What will Cousin Xiyu do when the time comes? ”

Ye Qingning was stunned and fell silent.

She hadn't thought about it from that perspective......

Zheng Junyan analyzed: "Cousin Xiyu is weak and quiet, and she needs to be cared for and cherished. Shen Changan is rude and informal. The cousin refused to agree to the two of them being together, also because he felt sorry for his cousin and wanted his cousin to marry a man with a gentle temperament. It is best to live in the capital for a long time and take care of it more in the future. ”

Ye Qingning had to admit that Zheng Junyan's words were very reasonable.

"You have a point. However, this is not the case with feelings. Ye Qingning said lightly: "Perhaps, because their two temperaments are very different, it is easier to attract each other." What hasn't happened, no one can say. Perhaps, Shen Changan is the fate of Xiyu's cousin. ”――
