Chapter 358: The Old Man
Ye Qinglan could almost clearly hear her violent heartbeat, and hung her head without thinking. No matter how strong her self-control is, she can't maintain the illusion of indifference at this time.
How can they be so similar......
Standing beside Zheng Junyan was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
The young man did not wear the brocade robe that aristocratic sons were accustomed to, but wore a neat black military uniform. Tall, wheat-colored skin, handsome facial features, hearty smile, and an indescribable free and handsome all over his body. It is completely different from the popular beautiful boy, but it has a different charm.
Even the picky Ye Qingning had to admit that this Meng Zijun from Shandong was really a handsome young man who was rare to see. Compared with the gentle and handsome Zheng Junyan, he is not far behind.
Zheng Min couldn't help but take a second look, and then quickly lowered his head. She is already a married person, and it is very rude to stare at other men.
Mrs. Xu also felt that Huo Ran's eyes lit up, and praised with a smile: "You are Zijun!" Sure enough, a table of talents! ”
The black-clothed young man smiled loudly and bowed his hand: "Nephew Meng Zijun, I have seen my aunt." The voice was crisp and crisp, which made Mrs. Xu, who was accustomed to seeing the aristocratic sons and daughters of the crepe, feel very fresh. I suddenly had a little more affection for this nephew I had just met.
"Zijun, Junyan, you already know each other!" Mrs. Xu smiled: "Let me introduce you again, this is your cousin-in-law Ye, whose maiden name is Qingning." Just call your cousin. ”
Meng Zijun glanced at Ye Qingning, a trace of amazement and appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he praised with a smile: "Cousin is really blessed. married such a flower-like cousin-in-law. "It was a bit reckless to praise the woman's appearance when I first met, but his attitude was very natural and calm. It makes people feel that his temperament is very frank and direct.
Everyone loves to listen to good and obedient words, let alone from the mouth of such a heroic young man. Ye Qingning immediately had a good impression of this cousin who had just met. Laughed and shouted "cousin".
Mrs. Xu smiled again: "This is your cousin Min, who is the same age as you, and is only two months older than you. ”
"See allergy cousin." Meng Zijun smiled again. Zheng Min returned the salute in a little panic.
Seeing Zheng Min's helpless appearance, Mrs. Xu couldn't help frowning. A concubine is a concubine, and she is really a little family. It's hard to say anything because there are guests. I had to suppress the unhappiness in my heart.
Meng Zijun's gaze fell on the pink-clothed girl behind Ye Qingning, and he was secretly a little strange in his heart. Before he came, he inquired clearly, and his aunt had only given birth to a son, and a daughter. Who is this girl in pink?
Ye Qingning said with a smile: "Cousin." This is my mother's cousin, whose name is Qinglan. ”
Qinglan ...... Ye Qinglan......
Meng Zijun silently recited the name, his face suddenly became a little strange, and his heartbeat was inexplicably faster. But he smiled in his mouth: "I've seen Cousin Qinglan." ”
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to raise her head with a smile and salute: "I've seen Cousin Meng." ”
When Meng Zijun saw the face of the girl in pink clearly, his breath paused, his eyes widened suddenly, and his hands trembled slightly.
Ye Qinglan smiled and stared at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of her. I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I can't tell what it feels like for a while.
This face is clearly Mencius in his previous life.
If you compare it carefully, the Mencius in front of you is younger and immature. Without that sheath-like sharpness, there is also a lack of maturity. But those hearty and smiling eyes were exactly the same as she remembered.
The face she has now. It is similar to his own self in his previous life. Sometimes when she looks in the mirror, even she feels that this is her real self. As long as it's that Mencius. You'll be able to recognize her.
His unusual reaction had already told her the truth.
He's the same as her. also traveled to this dynasty. The moment they met, he recognized her too.
Both of them are calm and rational adults, and when they met in such a sudden situation, even though they set off a monstrous wave in their hearts, they did not lose their temper on their faces. They both knew that this was not the time to recognize each other, so they could only force themselves to suppress the excitement in their hearts. They looked away.
For onlookers, at most, they felt that Meng Zijun had looked at Ye Qinglan for a long time, but no one was suspicious. Young Fang Mu Shaoai is nature, and when he sees such a beautiful girl, it is normal to take a look or two.
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Zijun must be tired and hungry after a tiring journey. Lunch is ready, so let Junyan accompany you to the dining room. ”
Looking at this posture, Mrs. Xu obviously did not intend to sit at the same table with men and women. Probably because Zheng Min had already decided that it was not appropriate to get close to the man, and Ye Qinglan was a guest, so it was rude to sit at the same table with the man he had met for the first time. Therefore, Mrs. Xu arranged it this way.
Meng Zijun secretly choked his heart in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, he responded with a smile, and followed Zheng Junyan to the dining room. Only at the moment of leaving, he couldn't help but glance back at Ye Qinglan.
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with a sparkling light.
Meng Zijun's heart immediately felt like being blown by a spring breeze, and his mood suddenly improved.
Zheng Junyan was not familiar with him yet, seeing him so cheerful and happy, he only thought that he was because he came to the capital, and said with a smile: "When you settle down, I will take you to the most prosperous streets in the capital." ”
Meng Zijun grinned and said, "Then thank you cousin." ”
Most of the teenagers Zheng Junyan comes into contact with on weekdays are polite scholars, or calm and elegant aristocratic sons. is as hearty, bright and humorous as Meng Zijun, but it is very rare. Under Mencius's intentional friendship, the two quickly became acquainted after a meal.
"My cousin is amazing." Meng Zijun admired his face: "It is really impressive to be admitted to the Jinshi at such a young age." ”
Zheng Junyan was used to hearing such words, so he didn't flutter, but responded humbly: "Compared to Cousin Gu, I'm far behind." ”
Who is Cousin Gu? A question mark flashed in Meng Zijun's eyes. Fortunately, Zheng Junyan quickly solved this question: "Cousin Gu is the son of his eldest aunt, and his full name is Gu Xinian. At that time, Lianzhong Sanyuan was a famous talent in the capital. Now it's a Tobe squire. ”
Speaking of Gu Xinian, Zheng Junyan's eyes were full of admiration. Although he has a high self-esteem, he still has this self-knowledge. Compared with Gu Xinian, he is not half a star worse.
Meng Zijun listened absentmindedly, not very interested in this Gu someone. quickly brought the topic to Ye Qinglan: "...... By the way, cousin, is Cousin Qinglan her cousin's cousin? ”
Zheng Junyan smiled and nodded: "Well, she is the young lady of the third room of Changyuan Bofu, and she is Qingning's cousin." Qingning has always been friendly with her, like a sister. This time, I specially invited her to be a guest, and I have been living for more than half a month. ”
Meng Zijun was about to ask a few more words, when he saw Zheng Junyan looking over with a smile: "Do you think Cousin Qinglan is very beautiful?" When we met just now, Meng Zijun stared at Ye Qinglan for a long time, and he was reluctant to blink.
Just as girls always talk about teenagers when they get together, men inevitably talk about women when they get together. Such a topic can definitely quickly close the distance.
Meng Zijun smiled, and there was some strange tenderness in his voice: "Well, she is indeed very beautiful. ”
Zheng Junyan was originally making fun of him, but he didn't expect him to admit it so neatly, but he didn't know what to say for a while. He was stunned for a moment before he advised: "It's okay to say this in front of me, don't talk nonsense in front of Cousin Lan." Girls are thin-skinned, and if you say that, I'm afraid that it will scare Cousin Lan. What's more, others will definitely think he's frivolous.
As if he didn't know Zheng Junyan's worries, Meng Zijun smiled casually and nodded.
Zheng Junyan was even more uneasy when he saw him like this, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Also, if you want to go to me in the future, go directly to my study." She lives in the guest room of Danfeng Garden, and it is best to avoid her when you see her. If you can't avoid it, you can't talk alone. It's best to have someone with you. ”
If it were someone else, he wouldn't have said so much. But Ye Qinglan is Ye Qingning's best sister, if she is really abrupt by this reckless cousin Meng, it is strange that Ye Qingning is not angry. To avoid future troubles, it's best to take precautions.
Meng Zijun nodded casually, but his eyes sparkled.
On this side, Ye Qinglan was also full of emotions in the same turmoil, in such a mood, no matter how exquisite the meal was, it would have no taste in her mouth.
I really didn't expect to meet unexpected people in unexpected places......
No matter how calm she is, she can't suppress the frenzy surging in her heart at this moment.
What the hell is going on, and why is he here? When did he cross over? Also, why did he suddenly come to the capital? A series of questions rushed to my mind......
"Tenth sister, do you still feel sick to your stomach?" Ye Qingning asked with concern.
Ye Qinglan was calm, and then she found that she was unconsciously fiddling with rice grains with chopsticks, and she didn't eat a bite for a long time. I had to follow Ye Qingning's voice and said, "Well, it's really a little uncomfortable. "I put my chopsticks aside. In such a mood, I really can't eat anything.
Ye Qingning hurriedly said: "I'll ask someone to invite a doctor later......"
"No need." Ye Qinglan quickly took over the conversation: "I probably ate too much in the morning, so I can't eat it now." It will be fine in the evening. "To put it mildly, I finally dispelled Ye Qingning's thoughts.
After eating, Meng Zijun followed Zheng Junyan to rest and settle down. Ye Qinglan followed Ye Qingning back to the courtyard.
Obviously under the same roof, it is not easy to find a chance to speak alone. (To be continued......)
