Chapter 544: The Past
And in the future?
Before Gu Xiyu's smile could unfold, it suddenly collapsed again.
Mrs. Zheng smiled dumbly, and then sighed secretly. Gu Xiyu's withdrawn and introverted nature has indeed improved greatly, and she will not lose her temper when she comes into contact with the crowd. But this simple temperament can't be changed. In this way, what should I do if I get married? Being a daughter-in-law is completely different from when you are not out of the cabinet
Ye Qinglan seemed to see Mrs. Zheng's thoughts, lowered her voice and smiled: "Mother-in-law is not at ease, wouldn't it be better for Sister Xiyu to marry a husband who loves her." ā
Of course, Mrs. Zheng knew who she was talking about, and couldn't help but sigh: "After all, he is a military general, and if the war breaks out, he will have to go to the battlefield." At that time, Yu'er will be alone in the empty room."
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly: "This problem is easy to solve. If he is not in the capital for a long time, it would be better to let Sister Xiyu live in her mother's house all the time. With us taking care of her, there's nothing to worry about. ā
These words were firmly said in Mrs. Zheng's heart, she stared at Ye Qinglan, and suddenly sighed softly: "Xi Nian married you, it is really his blessing." ā
The daughter who marries out of the house is the water that is spilled out of the door, and it is always inappropriate to go back to her parents' house to live for a long time. It's easy to provoke complaints and complaints from daughters-in-law. Therefore, even if Mrs. Zheng once thought of this layer, it was inconvenient to say it. Unexpectedly, Ye Qinglan didn't mind at all, and even took the initiative to say it
This kind of thing coming out of the mouth of the mother-in-law is, of course, extremely pleasant.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "Being able to marry Xianggong, it is my blessing to have a good mother-in-law like you." This sentence is also absolutely heartfelt and very sincere.
There is no need to elaborate on how Gu Xinian treats her. Mrs. Zheng's kind and amiable mother-in-law is even more difficult to find in the world.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and made a rare joke: "If you give birth to a white fat boy as soon as possible, it will be considered filial piety to me." ā
I came across this topic in the past. Ye Qinglan basically hid if she could, and this time she said it face-to-face. But he couldn't hide if he wanted to, so he had to smile and say: "You don't need to say this, my daughter-in-law is also looking forward to opening up branches and leaves for the Gu family as soon as possible!" ā
Mrs. Zheng's eyebrows and eyes immediately relaxed, and before she could say anything, Gu Xiyu interjected with great interest: "Sister-in-law, are you also pregnant with a little doll?" ā
Ye Qinglan coughed: "Not yet!" ā
Gu Xiyu was obviously a little disappointed, but she didn't forget to encourage Ye Qinglan: "Then you and your eldest brother must work harder and strive to conceive a little doll as soon as possible." ā
Ye Qinglan: ""
In the evening, Gu Xinian learned about this conversation. I couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Qinglan glared at him in annoyance: "It's all your fault, what you say is not good, if you don't work hard in front of her, she will remember it in her heart now." Just ask me about it! "It's so bad that she, who has always been thick-skinned, is also ashamed to have nowhere to go.
Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows evilly: "What's there to be ashamed of, it just so happens that I'm resting tomorrow, don't be in a hurry to get up early, let's work hard all night" As he spoke, he came over and put his hands up and down improperly.
Ye Qinglan blushed and pushed him away. Righteous statement: "You don't have to get up early tomorrow, I have to get up early." ā
Gu Xinian was a little dissatisfied: "It's rare for me to take a day off, so you can't accompany me more?" ā
"I've just started learning to be a housekeeper, and if I'm late. What will the stewards think of me? What would the mother-in-law think? Ye Qinglan's position was very firm: "In short, I want to arrive at Jingxinyuan at the beginning of the year." ā
Gu Xinian snorted a little stupidly, and his unhappiness was overflowing: "Look at you now." Open your mouth and shut up is the housekeeper director's mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I, a decent father-in-law, have no status in your heart. ā
Ye Qinglan is angry and funny. Rolled his eyes: "I've never seen a man who is jealous of his own sister!" ā
Gu Xinian absolutely refused to admit that he was a cautious man, and immediately retorted: "I'm not jealous of them." But. Shouldn't you put more time and energy into me? ā
Speaking of which, isn't pantothenic acid anymore?
Ye Qinglan also raised her eyebrows in his way, and looked back with a smile
Gu Xinian coughed and changed the topic: "Qiuyu is coming, your eldest brother will definitely end this year, with his talent and hard work, it shouldn't be difficult to move in the middle of the game." ā
Since Ye Yuanzhou forgot the past experience, Ye Qinglan's wariness of this brother has greatly decreased. Although the relationship between brother and sister is weak, after all, there is a layer of blood relationship, so we should care more about it.
"I also hope that he can pass the exam this year, and next year's spring festival will make persistent efforts, and it will be better if he wins the Jinshi." Ye Qinglan didn't know what to think, and suddenly sighed: "When that time comes, he won't have to stay in the country all day and never return home."
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he keenly caught the meaning of her words: "Isn't he and Cousin Min not very harmonious?" ā
Ye Qinglan sighed softly: "I haven't quarreled, it's just too cold." I often don't go home for two or three months. The sister-in-law is alone every day, which is quite pitiful. The voice unconsciously lowered: "On the day when the sixth sister's child washed the third, the sister-in-law also went." I listened to it in front of us, and it was really not a good feeling in my heart. ā
In the final analysis, their husband and wife are not on good terms and have something to do with her
Gu Xinian looked disapproving: "This is a matter between their husband and wife, and it has nothing to do with you." You have nothing to feel guilty about! "For him, as long as Ye Yuanzhou is far away from Ye Qinglan and doesn't move any thoughts that shouldn't be moved!
Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.
Gu Xinian saw that she was in a low mood, and she didn't feel a good feeling in her heart. After thinking about it, he said: "I can't help anything with the scientific examination, but as long as he passes the Jinshi examination." I could have found a good errand for him to be more leisurely. Let him have more time to go home and spend more time with his wife. ā
Ye Qinglan snorted, snuggled into his arms, and the two hugged each other silently and did not speak for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, Gu Xinian suddenly brought up another topic: "There is another war at the border pass, and the emperor announced an edict in the court today, asking General Shen to lead the army." The military department mobilized and dispatched soldiers, and the household department coordinated money and food, and the situation was urgent, and the army had to set off after five days. So, I'm probably going to be busy until late these days. Tomorrow's rest will have to be automatically canceled. What did Xiu Mu say before the relationship, but he deliberately teased her.
Ye Qinglan was about to say a few words, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered what he had said before, and was suddenly shocked: "You said before that General Shen was seriously injured by the enemy's plan, and then Shen Changan went to the battlefield instead of his father, didn't you say this time?" ā
Gu Xinian hummed lightly.
Ye Qinglan suddenly gasped, and it took a while to react: "Since you know what will happen, what are you going to do?" "Is it to let things go according to the trajectory of the previous life? Or do you want to turn the tide and change this qiÄ?
Gu Xinian was silent for a moment before he said: "I don't have any grudges with General Shen, leaving aside Shen Changan, I also admire General Shen's personality." I can't bear to watch him return to Beijing with a defeat and serious injury. However, it's not as simple as you think. Even if you want to help, you have to think long-term. ā
Ye Qinglan felt that something was wrong, and asked tentatively: "You mean, General Shen's defeat in the battle is not entirely due to him, but someone is making trouble from it?" ā
Gu Xinian nodded neatly: "Yes." ā
Ye Qinglan frowned, and subconsciously asked, "Who is that person?" ā
Gu Xinian replied lightly: "It's me!" ā
Ye Qinglan: ""
Gu Xinian was not used to explaining anything, but the moment he felt the stiffness of his delicate body in his arms, a string of words came out of his mouth naturally: "At this time in my previous life, I was close to the prince on the surface, but in fact, I had already formed an alliance with the third prince in secret. General Shen held military power and was extremely valued by the emperor, so the crown prince and the third prince wanted to win him over to their camp. The queen wanted Yu'er to marry Shen Chang'an, just to figure out the way to marry the Shen family. Because I refused to agree, it was very unpleasant. It happened that there was another war, and General Shen was going to the battlefield, and I saw that Shen Changan was not pleasing to the eye, and I wanted to get him to go to the border. So secretly delaying the grain and grass, I originally wanted General Shen to lose one or two battles, and then I could logically 'build yƬ' the imperial court to increase troops, and let Shen Changan lead the troops to reinforce."
The third prince was also very much in favor of this strategy, and he also secretly sent spies behind Gu Xinian's back to General Shen. Then secretly instructed this spy to quietly spread rumors at a critical time. As a result, the soldiers who lacked food and grass were in an unstable mood, which also indirectly affected General Shen's judgment of the military situation, and as a result, they fell into the opponent's treacherous plan by mistake and suffered a big defeat, being surrounded and pursued by the enemy, and were seriously injured.
Ye Qinglan's back broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she couldn't help frowning: "Why did the third prince hide this from you?" ā
Gu Xinian curled the corners of his lips, and a sarcastic sneer flashed in his eyes: "Because the person in charge of coordinating this war at that time was the crown prince." If he wins the battle, it will be tantamount to a great credit to the prince. He wished that he would lose this battle, and the emperor would inevitably be angry with the prince when he was angry. Moreover, even if the delay in food and grass is detected, it will only be blamed on my head. On the surface, I am a princeling, and I will blame the prince when the time comes. In fact, after the defeat, the prince was severely reprimanded and ordered to introspect in the prince's mansion. Later, the person who took over the matter was replaced by the third prince. ā
What a poison plan to kill two birds with one stone!
not only pit the prince, but also dig a pit for Gu Xinian. In the future, Gu Xinian will not be able to escape responsibility! (To be continued......)
