A knock on the door suddenly sounded: "Cousin, tenth sister, you two have said almost the same!" ”

Ye Qinglan was startled, and pushed Gu Xinian away without thinking. Gu Xinian was caught off guard, and was pushed by her to stumble a step, a little wolf bèi stood firm, and then glared at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan was not weak at all, and glared back at him with confidence. Then he quickly straightened his clothes, and when he was sure that he didn't look out of place, he went to open the door.

Ye Qingning walked in with a smile, and he didn't see the slightest abnormality: "Cousin, thank you for evaluating the paintings for me, it's not too early, I won't keep you more." ”

Gu Xinian calmed down and glanced at Ye Qingning deeply: "Thank you Cousin Ning today." ”

It was probably the most serious he'd ever looked at her. Ye Qingning pressed down the sourness in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's really obvious that my cousin said this. My sister and I will send you out. ”

Gu Xinian hummed casually, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Qinglan's unusually calm smile, and he didn't know whether to laugh or be annoyed. This girl really has a set of pretending. Even when he looked at it, he felt that he was innocent with her, and he hadn't done anything just now......

Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning sent Gu Xinian out of Huancui Pavilion together, and along the way, Ye Qinglan kept a distance from Gu Xinian, intentionally or unintentionally, and did not say a word.

Ye Qingning knew that it was one thing, but in front of her, she had to be more restrained and not too intimate. Otherwise, it would be a poke at Ye Qingning's heart.

I don't know if Ye Qingning noticed Ye Qinglan's thoughtfulness and carefulness, in short, Gu Xinian noticed it. Although Jun had a smile on his face, he was a little inexplicably unhappy in his heart.

After sending Gu Xinian away, Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning each secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other and smiled, but they were both a little slightly uncomfortable.

After returning to Huancui Pavilion. Ye Qinglan said in a low voice: "Sixth sister, thank you." ”

Between sisters, there are many things that need not be said, and they know each other.

Ye Qingning was silent for a moment. Cai smiled: "It's just a gesture, what is there to thank for." After a pause, he said, "By the way, what is my cousin's plan?" It's not a way to go back and forth in private like this, so it's better to settle down to be more at ease. ”

Although the Changyuan Bofu is not low. It's a little worse than the Dingguo Mansion. Even if the concubine marries Gu Xinian, it is Gao Pan, not to mention that Ye Qinglan is only a third-room concubine. Naturally, this level is not easy to pass.

Ye Qinglan didn't hide it from her: "I also asked him, and he told me not to worry, just wait." ”

Ye Qingning frowned: "Didn't my cousin make his plans clear to you?" ”

Bring this up. Ye Qinglan also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "No." "Gu Xinian is suspicious by nature, and he never reveals what he thinks lightly. Even if the relationship between the two is different from the past, this is not something that can be changed lightly.

Ye Qingning didn't ask any further. casually opened the topic: "That's right." So what is Cui Yu going to do? ”

…… Why does she have a weird feeling that she is a negative woman?

Ye Qinglan was silently embarrassed for a moment, and then smiled casually: "Although I have met him a few times, he is just an ordinary friend." ”

Ye Qingning said teasingly: "If you think so, people may not think the same way." Cui Yu's thoughts about you can probably be seen by anyone with long eyes. ”

…… Well, there is no need to hide it in front of Ye Qingning.

"Actually, I've been shaken before." Ye Qinglan rarely told the truth: "He is simple and cute. It's easy to get along with, and if you marry him, life should be peaceful and happy. However, I only have a crush on him, but I don't have a love between a man and a woman. I don't want to marry someone I don't love for a peaceful life. Moreover, his mother, Ho, was shrewd and powerful, and I really didn't like her very much. Therefore, I probably won't see Cui Yu alone again in the future. ”

Ye Qingning sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that such a good family affair." Then he smiled again: "Although Cui Yu is good, he is far worse than his cousin." No matter who it is, it will be like you. ”

Ye Qinglan smiled slightly.

There is no such thing as a good or bad thing between men and women. In fact, the simple and lovely Cui Yu is the best choice. Even if there is a shrewd and powerful He Shi here, with her intelligence and sleekness, it is not difficult to deal with it. On the other hand, Gu Xinian has so many deep secrets hidden in his heart, shoulders the blood and hatred of his previous life, and has an entangled old lover, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good match. However, she has feelings for him!

She didn't choose anyone, she just stayed true to her feelings.

Perhaps, one day in the future, the relationship between her and Gu Xinian ended in failure and did not come to fruition. Perhaps, at that time, she will regret that she once missed such a good man as Cui Yu.

However, at this time, she did not regret her decision.

There are not many times when people live a lifetime and can indulge in it. She has lived for so many years in her last life, but she has not been able to find her own love. After crossing, I met a man who made my heart move, no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, I had to give it a try to be willing.

“…… By the way, have you noticed the third aunt's face? Ye Qingning was overjoyed when she recalled it: "She doesn't know what her anger looks like in her heart, and she has to pretend to thank her on her face, don't mention how happy she is in my heart." ”

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled: "You and your sister-in-law both came to support me, I am very happy." However, the gifts are too valuable......"

"There's nothing more valuable than a gift from my cousin." Ye Qingning blinked narrowly: "I know that you love calligraphy and painting, and even Wu Daozi's paintings are willing to send them." When such calligraphy and painting are on the market, they are worth at least a few thousand taels of silver. In the future, as a dowry, there will also be face. ”

Ye Qinglan blushed slightly when she was teased, but she was thinking in her heart. Gu Xinian also set up a dark layer in the wooden box containing the painting scroll, and it is said that some "scattered" silver tickets were placed in it for her pocket use.

With her understanding of Gu Xinian, these so-called scattered silver tickets will never be missing.

On the day of my birthday, I received so many congratulatory gifts. The maids were even more excited than Ye Qinglan. In the evening, Rui Xue specially took out all the congratulatory gifts. The round pearls sparkle brightly, and the jadeite and ruby heads are neatly arranged in the box, and the workmanship is amazing. There are also red gold bracelets rewarded by the Jiang family, earrings given by Ye Qingrou, and a gold collar rewarded by the Xue family.

Gui Yuan had never seen so many expensive jewelry, and he was simply dazzled.

Rui Xue glanced at the gold collar with disgust, and muttered: "This ring is a bit bulky, and children of a few years old can wear it." Miss is already so old, it won't look good to wear this again. ”

Ye Qinglan didn't mind at all, and smiled casually: "It's better than nothing, put it away!" In the future, when there is a shortage of silver to spend, he will take it out and exchange it for silver. ”

That's just as well. Rui Xue happily responded, and carefully put all the jewelry into the box and locked it.

Ye Qinglan couldn't wait to unfold the painting scroll and appreciate it carefully. The more I look at it, the more I like it. When she saw these two paintings hanging on the wall in Gu Xinian's study that day, she once fantasized that she would have no regrets in her life if she could have one of them. Unexpectedly, now both belong to her!

So blissful! I'm probably going to laugh when I sleep tonight!

Ye Qinglan smiled crookedly, and the light on her pretty face was more dazzling than a pearl.

Ruomei coughed lightly: "Miss, these two paintings are very precious, and they are too eye-catching to hang in the house." It's better to put it away in a wooden box. Intentionally or unintentionally, the words wooden box were aggravated.

Ye Qinglan naturally heard her hint, and responded with a smile: "It's okay, you bring the wooden box." He casually instructed, "I want to bathe, Ruixue, you take a few of them to the kitchen to bring some hot water." ”

Rui Xue didn't doubt him, responded with a smile, and led Gui Yuan and a few people to retreat.

Ruomei was free, and immediately opened the dark layer of the wooden box, and in the dark layer of the two wooden boxes, silver tickets were placed. It doesn't add up to too much, only fifty or sixty sheets.

Ruomei glanced at it, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she gasped.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qinglan asked casually.

Ruomei settled down and handed over the silver tickets: "Miss, these silver tickets are the most famous tickets in the capital, and they can be exchanged for huàn cash at any time." Each denomination is not too large, only one hundred taels. ”

A hundred taels? It's really not big.

Ye Qinglan thought casually, and only after receiving the thick stack of silver tickets did she think of an important question. Each silver ticket is a hundred taels, fifty or sixty tickets, isn't it...... Five or six thousand taels?

Ye Qinglan looked at the silver ticket in her hand in a daze, and finally understood why Ruomei had that expression. Ordinary families buy dowries for their daughters, and one or two hundred taels is enough. The aristocratic ladies are different, and the dowry of dozens of units will cost at least about one or two thousand taels. For someone like Ye Qingning, who is tall and has his parents privately subsidizing, the dowry is naturally far more than that. The Grange shop can add silver, and it can reach about 10,000 taels of silver.

With her status as an unfavored concubine, when she marries in the future, it will be good for the Xue family to spend a thousand taels of silver. Gu Xinian sent some pocket money, which turned out to be five or six thousand taels of silver......

Is it too late to go back now?

Ye Qinglan looked at Ruomei expectantly: "Ruomei, you said that you can send a message and send a letter out at any time, right?" Can you send these silver tickets back as well? ”

Ruomei answered honestly: "I'm afraid this won't work." Since the prince has sent it, he will definitely not allow the slave to send it back. Miss, don't be embarrassed. ”

Ye Qinglan had to smile bitterly, only to feel that the stack of fluttering silver tickets in her hand was very hot.

All of a sudden, he went from being a poor man to a rich man...... It's not an awkward feeling!
