Chapter 367: The Visitor (1)
As soon as the sky was bright, Ye Qinglan got up. Today's "task" is heavy, and we have to make some preparations as soon as possible. Ye Qingning had similar thoughts to her, and she also got up early.
Unexpectedly, someone got up earlier than the two of them!
When Zhixia reported that the guests had arrived at Danfeng Garden, Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan almost couldn't believe their ears, and asked in unison: "The guest you are talking about, could it be Shen Changan!" ”
Zhixia couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, the young master is also here." ”
……
Ye Qinglan almost wanted to touch her forehead and sigh. It's only a moment now, how can anyone come to someone else's house so early. I really don't know what to say about this Shen Changan!
Ye Qingning also couldn't cry or laugh, and asked in a low voice, "What should I do next?" She still had to go to her in-laws and grandparents to say goodbye, but the guests came so early......
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and said, "You and your brother-in-law will go to greet the guests first, and I will go to greet the guests first." ”
It can only be like this, Ye Qingning nodded in response, and then instructed Zhixia: "You go and invite the guests to sit in the side hall for a while." Zhixia respectfully took the order.
Meng Zijun and Shen Changan were ushered into the side hall and sat down, and the maid neatly served tea and snacks. Shen Changan was in the mood to drink tea, but Meng Zijun was the opposite, drank a cup of hot tea and ate a few sweet and greasy snacks.
Shen Changan smiled and teased: "It turns out that you like to eat these girls' favorite food." ”
Meng Zijun glared at him unceremoniously: "Who said I love to eat these?" It's not all your fault, I came so early, and I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Changan's heart suddenly became empty. smiled wryly: "I didn't miss you anymore, that's why I came early." ”
That's how the devil believes! Meng Zijun glanced at Shen Changan, whose eyes were drifting. The thought that had been suppressed in my heart came back to my mind. He came to Zheng Guogong's Mansion in the name of visiting himself, who did he really want to see? Could it be Ye Qinglan?
The ecstasy when Shen Changan received the letter that day was by no means pretended. But if you think about it, Shen Changan's sweetheart is Ye Qinglan. It seems a bit arbitrary......
Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, a slender figure appeared at the door. Meng Zijun naturally gathered his mind and looked over.
Dressed in a light green dress, the girl is fresh and beautiful. The shallow smile on the corner of his lips is even more like a spring breeze. The most beautiful thing is still those bright eyes. No matter what happens, he is always so calm.
When I saw her for the first time, I was completely captured by those bright and beautiful eyes. From now on. I can't tolerate other women in my heart.
After the reunion, he also secretly compared. In fact, she is different from before now. In the past, Ye Qinglan was calm and wise, with gentle and sharp words, and was the focus of the crowd wherever he went. But now she is much more restrained and reserved, she is very cautious and cautious in her words and deeds, and she lacks her previous sharpness and brilliance. It's no different from an ordinary aristocratic lady.
Seeing Ye Qinglan like this. He actually felt very bad in his heart. But she also knew that this was her helpless disguise. After all, this is not a society where men and women are equal, and there are many constraints and rules for women. If she wants to live safely, she has to change.
In comparison. I'm much luckier. As a man, it's okay to behave out of line. Moreover, the candidates for the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department can pass nine times out of ten. Even if it's a different world. He can do the same thing he likes best. On the contrary, she must hide everything she is good at and love. It's for her. It must be a painful thing!
But she never complained, and quickly accepted these realities. Even adapted well to the current life. This kind of forbearance and wit are the most attractive traits in her.
She is still the woman he loves deeply, the strong, brave, optimistic and confident Ye Qinglan.
Mencius had never been so clear about his mind for a moment. In the more than a year that has passed, a lot seems to have happened. But no matter what, he wants to recover his lover.
Looking at each other, Ye Qinglan couldn't parry Meng Zijun's burning and firm eyes, so she naturally moved her gaze to Shen Changan's face, and greeted with a smile: "I haven't seen you for almost a year, Shen Gongzi is okay?" ”
Shen Changan was naturally very polite to his sweetheart's good sister, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Thank you Miss Ye Shi for your concern, I have completed the task assigned by the saint and returned to Beijing safe and sound." ”
The short two sentences of dialogue made Meng Zijun feel refreshed and secretly happy in his heart. The two are so unfamiliar and polite, it is obvious that they have no personal relationship. His previous worries and entanglements were all in vain.
As soon as the burden in his heart was gone, Meng Zijun immediately regained his humorous nature: "Cousin Lan, just rest assured, Brother Shen is superb in martial arts and good at arranging troops, and he is famous in Shandong. Those bandits were terrified later, and they had no choice but to escape. When I came back this time, I was promoted and rewarded, and the scenery was very beautiful. ”
Shen Changan scolded with a smile: "you, hold me so high, it's strange if you don't fall to your death." The intimacy in the words shows that the relationship between the two is irreversible.
Mencius Jun is decisive by nature, so he will naturally appreciate the rough and uninhibited Shen Chang'an. And Shen Changan is also willing to get close to the humorous and unpretentious Mencius. It's no surprise that the two got together and became friends.
Ye Qinglan smiled and sat down.
Shen Chang'an was scratching like a cat's paw in his heart, and kept looking at the door. Secretly muttering in her heart, Ye Qinglan said in the letter that he could see Gu Xiyu as he wished, but why didn't he see Gu Xiyu's figure until now?
Ye Qinglan couldn't see Shen Changan's thoughts, and hinted with a smile: "Shen Gongzi don't be impatient, it's only the time of the hour." Another guest will not arrive until at least an hour later. "In fact, there is really no one like him who has come to someone's house so early to be a guest.
Shen Changan was unashamed and grinned: "I know that she will definitely not come so early, so I specially want to come and wait for her earlier." ”
…… Typical Shen Chang'an style! Ye Qinglan smiled dumbly, but she could understand a little. After not seeing each other for so long, Shen Changan's longing and thirst are understandable.
Mencius pricked up his ears, savored these few words, and deduced the truth of the matter in just a few moments.
He did misunderstand before, Shen Changan's sweetheart was someone else. And Ye Qinglan is probably good friends with that woman, so she will help pass the message.
Seriously, he was really curious, what would the woman Shen Changan like look like?
"Cousin Lan, you and Brother Shen don't play dumb riddles. Who is the other guest? Meng Zijun asked curiously.
Ye Qinglan glanced at Shen Changan with a smile: "For this question, let Shen Gongzi sue you." ”
Meng Zijun immediately looked at Shen Changan and asked, "Brother Shen, the sweetheart you used to talk about when you were drunk, is this the guest who is about to come?" ”
By this time, there is nothing to hide. Shen Changan smiled and nodded, and a rare flush appeared on his dark face. This expression is almost the same as that of a teenage girl with a spring girl, a man who is more than one meter eight shows such an expression...... The effect can only be described in two words: thriller!
Meng Zijun made fun of it unceremoniously: "Okay, don't pretend to be innocent here." I get goosebumps when I see it! ”
Shen Changan's love for finally getting together was broken up by this sentence, and he glared at him in annoyance, and unceremoniously raised his foot and kicked people by the way. Meng Zijun was very agile, and immediately retracted his legs and dodged.
After such a trouble, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious and relaxed.
Meng Zijun looked at Ye Qinglan with a smile: "Cousin Lan, Brother Shen refuses to say, you should sue me!" What kind of woman can make Brother Shen so unforgettable? Probably because Ye Qingning was not there, his gaze was far hotter than usual, and even his tone was much more intimate.
"This guest's surname is Gu, and his maiden name is Xiyu. She is the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion and the cousin of Cousin Zheng's cousin. Ye Qinglan cooperated with Meng Zijun to tease Shen Changan: "Fang Ling is fourteen, gentle and quiet, and beautiful and unparalleled. A certain son was shocked at the first sight, and from then on, he could no longer tolerate other women in his eyes......"
No matter how thick-skinned Shen Changan was, he couldn't help such ridicule, his face became redder and redder, and he had no confidence to speak: "Hey, you two just talk about it in front of me." Later, Sister Gu will come, don't talk nonsense in front of her. She's thin-skinned and timid......"
How could Meng Zijun let go of such a good opportunity, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen really pities the jade!" ”
Of course! Shen Changan nodded unceremoniously. Of course, the sweetheart must be held in the palm of his hand.
Meng Zijun and Ye Qinglan couldn't help but laugh and smile at each other. Between the four eyes, the last trace of estrangement was also dispersed. From this moment on, the two finally really found the tacit understanding they had when they worked together.
After a while, Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan also came.
Ye Qingning was okay, and he generously exchanged a few words with Shen Changan. But Zheng Junyan was obviously absent-minded, his eyes flickered, and fell on Shen Changan's face intentionally or unintentionally. I was depressed and annoyed, and there was a nameless anger and jealousy.
How could the delicate cousin of Xiyu like such a ...... Rude Takeo?
Shen Changan was careless and didn't notice it at all. Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan both knew Zheng Junyan's knot, lest he say something that shouldn't be said and embarrass everyone.
Fortunately, Zheng Junyan is not an impulsive person, even if he is not happy in his heart, he doesn't say anything. But he was holding his breath in his heart, and when Gu Xiyu came later, he must take a good look at what was going on with the two of them...... (To be continued......)
