Chapter 373: Drunk
There are a total of four rooms in Danfeng Garden, and the largest and most comfortable one has already been packed up by Ye Qingning for Ye Qinglan. The other three are almost never used on weekdays, but they are very popular today.
Three rooms, in turn, lay three drunk, unconscious men. In the first room is Shen Chang'an, in the second room is Meng Zijun, and Gu Xinian is in the third room. Zheng Junyan was very thoughtful, and specially arranged a small servant to serve in each room.
Gu Xiyu hurriedly pushed the door in, and then rushed to the side of the bed in a hurry: "Big brother, big brother!" After shouting twice, Gu Xinian, who was lying on the bed, did not react.
Gu Xiyu turned her head with tears in her eyes: "Cousin Lan......"
Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Cousin Gu is drunk, he can't hear what you are shouting now." Don't worry, just wait for him to sleep for two hours and drink some sobering soup. β
Gu Xiyu hummed sullenly and sat on the edge of the bed.
Ye Qinglan had to avoid suspicion, naturally she couldn't be as casual as Gu Xiyu, and deliberately stood about two meters away from the bed. It doesn't seem rude, but it can see Gu Xinian on the bed clearly.
It is common for drunk people to make a fool of themselves, but Gu Xinian's body does not show half a point. He lay there quietly, sleeping deeply. Although Jun's face was slightly red, and he exuded the smell of wine, his expression was very calm and soft. It's completely devoid of the deep sharpness of wakefulness, and it looks gentle and harmless.
If it has always been so good, Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, and couldn't help but take another step closer.
The little maid who was standing in the room and waiting secretly looked up, his eyes flashing with curiosity. Ye Qinglan suddenly woke up. Secretly blame yourself in your heart. It's really confused, how can you be so uncontrollable in front of your subordinates. It wouldn't be nice if there was any gossip.
Ye Qinglan looked at the little guy with a pleasant face: "Cousin Xiyu wants to stay here to take care of my cousin." Stand aside for now! β
The little guy replied respectfully and withdrew.
After the little guy retreats. Ye Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. Gently moved the stool and placed it on the side of the bed, and then sat down. Of course, such a behavior is actually quite intimate. However, Gu Xiyu had long been accustomed to Ye Qinglan being inseparable from herself, so she didn't feel anything wrong at all, and whispered, "You can also sit on the edge of the bed." β
β¦β¦ She actually wants to do it too! However, you have to be prepared for someone to push the door in at any time.
"No, I'll just sit here and the two of us will talk in a whisper. It won't disturb Cousin Gu either. Ye Qinglan lowered her voice.
Gu Xiyu snorted, and her voice became softer, but the content of her speech was a little heavy: "Cousin Lan, why does the eldest brother hate him so much?" This girl, who was as ignorant as a child and as white as paper, finally had a faint sorrow between her eyebrows.
β¦β¦
This question is really hard to answer. But Ye Qinglan didn't want to lie to her anymore, and said softly: "Because, Cousin Gu thinks he is not worthy of you." He is a military general, he has not read much, and he can only lead troops to fight. What's more. It is possible that he will leave the capital to guard the border in the future, and he will not come back for a few years. Cousin Gu is reluctant for you to wait for him all the time, so he is so opposed to the two of you being together. If you really want to be with him, then you have to convince your family. Especially Cousin Gu and aunt. In fact. They're also thinking about you. However, what exactly you want to do depends on your heart. Because it's your life. No one can make the choice for you. β
She can't, and neither can Gu Xinian!
Something. Gu Xiyu must learn to face and choose by herself. Of course, this is not just a simple multiple-choice question, but an important choice that will affect the fate of Gu Xiyu's life.
Gu Xiyu was silent for a long time. The eyes went from blank, to thoughtful, to gradually calm. Feelings are really the best catalyst, so that this weak and unassertive girl finally really grows up.
"When the eldest brother wakes up, I will talk to the eldest brother." Gu Xinian said slowly: "I like him, and I am willing to wait for him." β
The moment she heard this, Ye Qinglan breathed a long sigh of relief, and boundless joy surged in her heart. No one knows better than her how much courage it takes for Gu Xiyu to make such a choice. Gu Xiyu finally really grew up.
"Cousin Xiyu, you have to think clearly." Ye Qinglan reminded with a smile: "Cousin Gu is not so easy to be persuaded. and my aunt, she has always loved you the most, and she is definitely reluctant to let you suffer this. β
Gu Xiyu's eyes were clear and firm: "I have already thought clearly." I'll convince them. After a pause, he looked at Ye Qinglan with eyes full of dependence and trust: "I know you will help me." β
Ye Qinglan smiled and whispered softly: "Okay, I will definitely help you." β
In just a few words, Gu Xiyu immediately had great confidence, and suddenly smiled sweetly.
The two of them chatted casually without a match, and their voices were deliberately low, both soft and soft. did not make noise to the sleeping Gu Xinian. In fact, with Gu Xinian's drunken Cheng DΓΉ, even if the two of them shouted at the top of their voices, it might not wake him up.
Time slipped by little by little, and in the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
Gu Xinian finally began to react, first turned over, and his brows gradually wrinkled. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and let out a low moan.
No matter how good the amount of alcohol is, the sequelae of drunkenness will not be less.
"Big brother, you're finally awake." Gu Xiyu was very happy: "I'll help you make it and feed you some sobering soup." As he spoke, he leaned over to help Gu Xinian up. It's a pity that she has never served anyone, not to mention her clumsy movements, and she doesn't have much strength. fiddled for a long time, but failed to help Gu Xinian up.
Gu Xinian already had a splitting headache, and after being tossed like this again, he only felt that his head hurt even more, and his handsome face was faintly white.
This man has always been gentle, calm, shrewd and deep, but this weak and pitiful appearance is rare to see. Ye Qinglan was secretly happy in her heart, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
Gu Xinian's gaze came, obviously very dissatisfied with her appearance. He was so uncomfortable, she was idly idle! What's even more excessive is that there is a little bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.
β¦β¦ Well, she does have a little bit of excess. Ye Qinglan cleared her throat and said politely, "Cousin Gu, please forgive me for being rude." With that, he also leaned over to the bed and grabbed his arm.
In this way, the two are naturally very close. She could even clearly see his furrowed brow and pursed lips. However, she didn't feel pity in her heart, but wanted to laugh a little.
He is the best at calculating others, and today he can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice, and he has calculated himself!
With the joint efforts of her and Gu Xiyu, she finally succeeded in helping Gu Xinian up and sitting on the edge of the bed. Gu Xiyu brought the decanting soup from the table again, scooped up a spoonful and sent it to Gu Xinian's mouth, and said, "The decanting soup was sent a long time ago, and it is probably a little cold. β
Gu Xinian snorted and opened his mouth to drink the sobering soup. After drinking a bowl of sobering soup, my headache was relieved a little, and my brain gradually became clearer. However, his voice was a little hoarse and low: "Yu'er, I have something to ask you." β
It's time to settle the scores!
Although Gu Xiyu had already made up her mind, a pair of eyes of her brother that seemed calm but were actually brewing a storm began to beat a small drum in her heart. subconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly, her eyes full of encouragement.
Gu Xiyu took a deep breath, only to feel much calmer: "Big brother, what do you want to ask?" β
Gu Xiyu's calm reaction was obviously unexpected by Gu Xinian. He frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Before you leave the mansion today, do you know that Shen Changan will also come." β
Gu Xiyu shook her head, and without waiting for Gu Xinian to breathe a sigh of relief, she added: "I was pleasantly surprised to see him." β
β¦β¦ In just a few words, it set off a storm in Gu Xinian's heart. He was from the past, so he naturally knew very well what the joy that flashed in Gu Xiyu's eyes represented. But it was precisely because of this that he felt more and more depressed in his heart.
He tried his best to get Shen Changan out of the capital, and quietly cut them off and had no news. Why didn't Gu Xiyu completely forget about Shen Changan, but was so happy when he mentioned him? True...... Fucking pissed off!
Gu Xinian cursed in his heart, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Yu'er, I have already told you very clearly, I will never agree to you being with him......"
"But I like him." Gu Xiyu's words were amazing: "If I want to marry someone in the future, I am only willing to marry him." β
Every sentence was like a bombshell, and Gu Xinian's head was dizzy, and he almost couldn't believe his ears: "Yu'er, what did you just say, say it again!" β
β¦β¦ Big brother's face is so terrible!
Gu Xiyu swallowed her saliva and plucked up all her courage to say, "I just said that I like him and am willing to marry him." Even if he may have to leave the capital to guard the border in the future, I am willing to wait for him to come back. Big brother, don't stop us, okay? β
Gu Xinian took a deep breath, and then exhaled vigorously. This was repeated several times, but to no avail, not only did not calm me down, but became more and more annoyed.
The anger burned in my heart, and I desperately wanted to explode. But he knew very well that he would definitely scare Gu Xiyu like this, so he could only press it for a long time. It wasn't until he calmed down a little that he opened his mouth and said, "You haven't seen him for so long, how can you know your mind so well." You must be too impulsive, calm down for a few days and you'll be fine. β
Gu Xiyu hurriedly defended: "I'm not impulsive, I've already thought very clearly." Big brother, listen to me......"
Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan coldly as if he hadn't heard it: "Today's matter was arranged by you!" (To be continued......)
