Mrs. Zheng hurriedly greeted her, complaining distressedly: "You drank too much last night, why did you go out to drink today?" I know you're a good drinker, but drinking too much alcohol hurts your body. You have to be careful. ”

Gu Xinian explained with a smile: "I accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the banquet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't drink much, so I had to help block it." At the mention of the crown prince, his tone was still very calm.

Mrs. Zheng quietly looked at Gu Xinian's face, and when she saw that his expression was as usual, she was a little relieved.

Since he became a household servant, Gu Xinian has been in contact with the crown prince. Mrs. Zheng always felt unsteady in her heart, lest Gu Xinian would turn her face with the prince if she was cold. Shen Qiuyu's marriage a few years ago was too big a blow to Gu Xinian. It was normal for him to have a grudge against the prince, and now such a casual interaction made her uneasy. I had the heart to ask a few words, but Gu Xinian was a master of four or two thousand catties, and he always dealt with the past lightly.

After a few times, Mrs. Zheng stopped asking. As long as Gu Xinian can pass his own level, there shouldn't be any more unpleasant things.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help but glance at Gu Xinian. After a few drinks in a row, no matter how good he was, he couldn't bear it. The brows were slightly furrowed unconsciously, but the eyes were calm and deep.

This man's mind is too deep, and no one can guess what he is thinking. In his previous life, he hated the prince to the bone, and he simply pulled the prince off the horse. Now he is in the camp of the prince again

Mrs. Zheng was busy with Zhang Luo's sobering tea, and Gu Xinian naturally sat next to Ye Qinglan.

As we got closer, the smell of wine wafted in. Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, with such a strong smell of wine, she didn't know how much wine he had drunk.

A slightly magnetic voice sounded in my ears: "The maid who poured the wine accidentally knocked over the wine bowl, and half a bowl of wine was sprinkled on my clothes, so the smell of wine is scary." Actually, I didn't drink much. ”

Is this an explanation?

Ye Qinglan felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. But he quipped: "It's so decent, why did the maid overturn the wine bowl?" Shouldn't Cousin Gu take a look at others! ”

Gu Xinian smiled casually: "Cousin Lan misunderstood, it was she who looked at me more." "He doesn't have a penchant for flirting with maids. It was the maid who peeked at him and lost his mind, and as a result, he knocked over the wine bowl.

Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled. I didn't taste much of it.

Everyone has a love for beauty. Don't think that only men love to look at beautiful women, in fact, women also like to look at handsome men. Gu Xinian's appearance of bringing disaster to the country and the people is the focus of the crowd everywhere. If so, it will taste good. She'll have to soak in the vinegar vat in the future.

Gu Xinian saw that her expression was as usual, and she didn't look like she was half eating, but she felt a little bad in her heart. Is this girl too generous or too careless about him?

Gu Xiyu interjected: "Big brother, Cousin Lan will go back tomorrow." ”

Gu Xinian smiled. Then he asked casually, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" She was afraid of Ye Yuanzhou, why was she in such a hurry to go home? Do you want to go back to visit Cui Yu......

Ye Qinglan didn't see anything wrong with him this time, and explained with a smile: "In a few days, it will be my birthday." So I had to rush back. ”

Gu Xinian's mood was delicately relaxed. There was a smile in his eyes again: "I'm going to the official office tomorrow morning, and I'll send you back by the way." ”

Gu Xiyu and Mrs. Zheng looked at each other in unison. It's strange, didn't he go toe-to-toe with Ye Qinglan before? How did it suddenly change...... Get aconciated?

Ye Qinglan didn't expect him to send him back in person, so she hurriedly declined: "Don't bother Cousin Gu so much, just send a carriage to send me back." ”

Gu Xi responded with an understatement: "Anyway, by the way, there's no trouble." ”

Speaking of this, it seems too much to shirk again. Ye Qinglan had to smile and thank you. Seeing Gu Xinian's eyebrows, there was tiredness. I feel a little distressed. smiled at Mrs. Zheng and said, "Auntie, it's not too early, we should go back and rest." ”

She and Gu Xiyu were leaving, and Gu Xinian naturally got up: "I'm tired too, just on the same road, let's go back together." ”

Mrs. Zheng responded with a smile, looking at the figure of the three of them leaving with thought.

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu walked side by side, Gu Xinian followed behind unhurriedly, and her eyes fell on her slender back. From time to time, her low laughter was heard in her ears, which quietly penetrated into her heart, causing an unspeakable commotion.

It's a pity that with Gu Xiyu and a bunch of maids, it's really not easy to find an excuse to be alone......

Ye Qinglan occasionally looked back, facing Gu Xinian's deep eyes. My heart beat suddenly, and my cheeks were a little hot. Fortunately, it was night, and the night was the best cover. No one noticed the flush on her face.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way. Just silently walked forward one after the other, each with a faint sweetness in his heart.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Ye Qinglan led a few maids to bid farewell to Mrs. Zheng. Gu Xiyu wanted to send her to the door in person, but Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Don't be so reluctant, I'll pick up Cousin Lan to accompany you in a few days." ”

Gu Xiyu was naturally happy when she heard this, nodded again and again, and did not insist on sending Ye Qinglan again. So, Gu Xinian finally had the opportunity to be alone with Ye Qinglan.

It is said to be alone, but it is not appropriate. A few maids followed not far away, and there was no opportunity to speak privately.

"Your eldest brother is also here, you have to be careful when you go back." Gu Xinian lowered his voice and admonished.

Ye Qinglan responded in a low voice: "I know, I'll be careful." You don't have to worry about me all the time. ”

How is it possible not to worry? Only men know men best. When a man is deeply in love and can't extricate himself, there is no reason at all. What's more, Ye Yuanzhou did not do one or two out-of-the-ordinary things in his previous life. He can rest assured that there are ghosts.

If he could let go of his hands and feet to deal with Ye Yuanzhou, he wouldn't care about a few more. The key is that Ye Yuanzhou has taken advantage of the convenience of his identity, and he can approach Ye Qinglan in a righteous and bright way. What's more, the relationship between him and Ye Qinglan is not really clear, so it is inconvenient to come forward to protect her......

Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "The carriage has been prepared, and the 'maid' given to you is called Ruomei." ”

Ye Qinglan knew in her heart that this one named Ruomei was the female secret guard given to her by Gu Xinian. I can't help but be curious. If you can be a dark guard, you should always have two brushes. I don't know what strengths this Ruomei has, is it a martial art that can defend herself or something else?

Gu Xinian saw the doubts in her heart, but she didn't explain much, she only smiled faintly: "If you have any questions, just ask her." She would never dare to hide half a word from you. ”

Ye Qinglan snorted, and then sighed jokingly: "Cousin Gu's great kindness is really beyond repayment. ”

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows, and said with a pointful smile: "Don't worry, there are many opportunities to repay me in the future." ”

It's starting to be serious again! Ye Qinglan glanced at him without a trace. Gu Xinian glanced at him, and he was still in a good mood.

When I arrived at the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, I saw a young woman dressed as a maid standing respectfully beside the carriage from a distance. It seems that this is Ruomei.

"The slave has seen the young master and the young lady." Ruomei's salute is very standard.

Gu Xinian hummed casually: "From today onwards, you will serve by Cousin Lan's side." ”

Ruomei obviously knew about this for a long time, and respectfully agreed.

Ye Qinglan looked at Ruomei carefully. This Ruomei is about ten ** years old, her appearance is not outstanding, and she only has a pair of eyes that are particularly bright. There's really nothing special about the appearance. However, one pair of hands is larger than that of an ordinary woman, with thin calluses on the palms of the hands.

Rui Xue and the others followed, and when they saw that there was an extra maid next to the carriage, they didn't pay attention at first. When he saw her follow and get into the carriage, he showed a surprised look. Unconsciously looked at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan smiled and said, "Her name is Ruomei, and she is the maid given to me by Cousin Xiyu. From today onwards, you will be by my side. "It's an excuse that has been thought of before.

It is not uncommon for a maid who has signed a death contract to be given away. What's more, Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan are like sisters, and it is nothing to send a maid to Ye Qinglan.

Rui Xue was the first to react, and introduced herself with a smile: "My name is Rui Xue, and I am sixteen this year. "Since it's a maid sent by Gu Xiyu, you can't wait for it. In the future, I will inevitably receive a first-class maid, and it is best to build a good relationship first.

Ruomei smiled: "My name is Ruomei, two years older than you, and I will call you Sister Ruixue." ”

Hongluan and the others reacted at this time, and they were busy greeting Ruomei.

Ye Qinglan secretly paid attention to Ruomei's speech and demeanor. Seeing that she was downright and generous, she couldn't help but nod secretly. There are so few people available to her that one more is always good. Moreover, since it was sent by Gu Xinian, at least in terms of loyalty, there should be no problem. Looking at it like this, Ruomei should be a practitioner, and she doesn't have to be too jealous of Ye Yuanzhou in the future!

If you want to ask Ruomei's details, you don't have to be in a hurry. There will always be opportunities in the future.

The chattering of the maids annoyed them along the way. Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan didn't talk much, only occasionally made eye contact.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Changyuanbo's mansion.

Ye Qinglan put away all her delicate moods and said with a smile: "Thank you Cousin Gu for sending me back." "If we say goodbye today, we may not know how long it will be before we meet next time.

Gu Xinian stared at Ye Qinglan deeply, and then said with a faint smile: "Cousin Lan doesn't have to be polite, it's just a stopby." There were still a bunch of things to do for him, but he took an extra detour and took an hour to send her back. I think it's ridiculous when I think about it, but I'm willing to do it.
