Chapter 257: Thoughts
What are you laughing at, is it nice to laugh? What to discharge!
Ye Qinglan glared back without a trace. I resolutely won't admit that he is really good-looking and smiling like this.
When Gu Xinian saw her glaring at herself, instead of being angry, she felt funny.
It's been a long time since I've seen each other. But the days in between did not cause a sense of alienation at all. On the contrary, there is a subtle feeling, slowly precipitating and fermenting. Just looking at her like this, he felt more pleasant than ever. Like a willow branch gently blown by a gust of spring breeze brushing his cheeks, my heart is a little itchy. It is like a dark orchid slowly blooming in front of your eyes, and you are reluctant to take your eyes off.
It's been a long, long time since he's been in the mood to admire a woman's smile like this......
Gu Xiyu didn't notice anything wrong, but Ye Qingning on the side was much more sensitive. I always felt that Gu Xinian looked at Ye Qinglan a little more, and the smile in her eyes made her feel a little surprised.
For Gu Xinian, Ye Qingning's girlish feelings have dissipated ten times, but there is always a trace of unwillingness and gloom that has never been obtained. She never refused to talk about this obscure mood, even in front of Ye Qinglan. Perhaps, she had already subconsciously noticed that Gu Xinian was special to Ye Qinglan, but she was unwilling to admit this fact to herself......
Ye Qingning pursed the corners of his lips, pressed down his complicated and indescribable mood, and said with a light smile: "Cousin, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”
"It doesn't hurt to wait." Gu Xinian smiled leisurely. Obviously, he was in a very good mood today, and the smile entered his eyes, which was completely different from the indifferent and polite smile in the past.
In addition to Gu Xiyu, Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning were all very quick to notice this.
"Yu'er, it's all settled!" Gu Xinian asked gently.
Gu Xiyu snorted.
"You live in the Huancui Pavilion, and in the future, you will go in and out with Cousin Lan and Cousin Ning. Be obedient and don't cause trouble to them......"
Ye Qinglan made up her mind to be silent to the end, simply lowered her eyelids, and resolutely did not look up at Gu Xinian. You can hide from your eyes, but you can't hide from your ears. Gu Xinian's low and pleasant voice annoyed into her ears, disturbing her uneasy.
Ye Qinglan was calm and silently chattered in her heart. I didn't hear anything, my mood was calm. After repeating it several times, it finally had some effect, and my mood calmed down a little.
Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan, who bowed his head and was silent. The smile in his eyes deepened a little, and he suddenly smiled leisurely: "Cousin Lan has always been able to speak well, why didn't she say a word today?" ”
The banter and ridicule in the discourse. Ye Qinglan could naturally hear it. Almost reflexively, he raised his head and counterattacked: "Cousin Gu is falsely praised, in front of you, where can I be able to speak well." ”
When I saw those smiling and cunning eyes, I realized that I had been fooled, and I was immediately a little annoyed. Aren't you determined to ignore him today? Why are you talking to him again......
Gu Xinian smiled slowly: "Cousin Lan doesn't have to be too humble. I do. Cousin Lan is the sharpest woman I've ever seen in my life. ”
It's obviously an ordinary compliment, why does it change its flavor when it comes to his mouth? Ye Qinglan replied with a smile: "Thank you Cousin Gu for complimenting, I'm really ashamed." ”
Before, she had refused to look at him directly. But at this time, the two looked at each other, but she could not avoid it, so she could only look back calmly.
Today's Gu Xinian is not wearing an official uniform. Still wearing a plain brocade robe, dressed as before. But somehow, it's subtly different from before. The original Gu Xinian. Trying his best to be low-key and restrained, although he is handsome and outstanding, he can't hide his brilliance, but it gives people a gentle and indifferent feeling.
And at this moment, there is a trace of sharpness in his bright eyes, and his demeanor is becoming more confident and calm. It's like a dusty sword wiping away the dust from all around it. Although it was not unsheathed, it unconsciously exuded a compelling cold and sharp aura. It's impossible to ignore. This kind of Gu Xinian has more fireworks than before. There is also more calmness in the top position.
In the past few months, he has changed a lot. It seems that officialdom is indeed a place to test people. Even if he has the intention to keep a low profile, it is not easy......
"Lunch is ready," Zheng walked in with a smile, breaking the delicate atmosphere in the hall: "Come here!" ”
Gu Xinian was the first to respond and stood up.
Ye Qinglan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, deliberately slowed down, and entered the dining room with Gu Xiyu.
There are not many people today, and Zheng uses the rosewood table that is commonly used on weekdays. This round table is not very large, just enough for five or six people to sit.
Zheng sat on the top, Ye Qingning sat on Zheng's left side, and Gu Xinian sat on Zheng's right side. Gu Xiyu naturally sat next to Gu Xinian, and in this way, Ye Qinglan happened to sit between Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu. There was a Gu Xiyu in the middle, and she avoided sitting face-to-face with Gu Xinian, and Ye Qinglan said that she was very satisfied.
Well, it's a bit of an instigation to hide like this. But she is in a chaotic mood now, and she doesn't know what kind of attitude to use to face Gu Xinian. So, it's better to hide.
Ye Qinglan lowered her head and ate a few bites indiscriminately, she couldn't understand the taste.
Gu Xinian sandwiched a lot of Gu Xiyu's favorite meals into the bowl in front of her, and Gu Xiyu protested in a low voice: "Big brother, don't clip it anymore, where can I finish eating." ”
Gu Xinian turned a deaf ear, and still brought the vegetables over, and after a while, the bowl was full.
Gu Xiyu suddenly had a bitter face. She had always had a habit of eating all the dishes that were in the bowl. This is also very clear to the eldest brother. On weekdays, I take care of her for lunch, and it's almost the same as a small half bowl at most. But what's wrong with the eldest brother today, is he going to kill her?
Gu Xinian didn't seem to see her bitter little face, and gently coaxed: "Yu'er, eat quickly." ”
Where can she finish eating? Gu Xiyu had a rare flash of inspiration, and with an idea, she picked up some of the tall dishes piled up in the bowl and sent them to Ye Qinglan's bowl: "Cousin Lan, don't patronize eating, eat more." ”
Ye Qinglan didn't notice it for a while, so she ate it quickly. After eating, I remembered something. This is a dish that Gu Xinian's chopsticks have sandwiched, and it was given to himself by Gu Xiyu. Isn't this equivalent to Gu Xinian eating vegetables for himself?
Well, it seems a bit self-inflicted to think so. But she couldn't help but beat her heart faster, and quickly glanced at Gu Xinian.
Gu Xinian didn't seem to notice that Ye Qinglan was secretly looking at him, and he was still eating unhurriedly, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
Gu Xiyu was overjoyed that she had thought of a good way, and simply divided half of the dishes in the bowl to Ye Qinglan. Bian whispered flatteringly: "I can't finish eating so much, you can help me eat some." ”
……
The dishes are all in her bowl, and she can't "help" if she doesn't want to!
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to smile and nod, and ate all the dishes in the bowl. As soon as I thought that these dishes had been touched by the chopsticks in Gu Xinian's hand, I felt a strange feeling in my heart. Like a pebble, thrown into the calm surface of the lake, it ripples in circles and lingers for a long time.
After lunch, Gu Xinian sat down for a while, and then politely retired: "...... Auntie, I have something to do, so I have to leave. Yu'er bothered her aunt to take care of her. ”
It's finally leaving! Ye Qinglan's spirit suddenly perked up.
I heard Zheng laugh and said, "I'm so polite to me." Xiyuken came to live for a few days, and it was too late for me to be happy as an aunt. With that, he got up and sent him off.
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Aunt doesn't have to send me, just have Yu'er to send me." I just have something to say to Yu'er in private. ”
Saying this, Zheng naturally didn't want to insist on sending it again, so he nodded with a smile.
Gu Xiyu got up to see Gu Xinian, and seeing that Ye Qinglan didn't stand up with her, she begged in a low voice: "Cousin Lan, I'm not familiar with the roads in the house, you can accompany me to send my eldest brother!" ”
Ye Qinglan was reluctant, so she had to squeeze out a smile in response.
Ye Qingning should have sent Gu Xinian with her, but Gu Xinian didn't look at her more, and Gu Xiyu didn't call her, what was the matter with her being so stubborn?
Ye Qingning watched Gu Xinian leave suddenly, and watched Ye Qinglan go out with Gu Xiyu to see him off, and he didn't know what it was like. Unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in his hand.
Was it her delusion? Why did she always feel that there was always something subtle wrong between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan in this meeting......
"Ning'er, why are you in a daze?" Zheng's voice sounded coldly in his ears.
Ye Qingning hurriedly squeezed a smile: "It's nothing, my pair of pillows haven't finished embroidering yet, I'll go back first." So saying, he got up and left.
Zheng looked at Ye Qingning's back and frowned slightly. Can't she forget Gu Xinian? Every time I see Gu Xinian, I always suffer from gains and losses, and it is not okay to go on like this. In a few months, she will be married. How can I pretend to be another man in my heart. No, we have to find a chance to explain her!
On this side, Ye Qinglan followed Gu Xiyu and sent Gu Xinian out of Luomei Courtyard.
The early spring is still a little cold, but fortunately, the sun is shining today, and it shines warmly on people's bodies. There are a few plum blossoms in the garden, and a faint fragrance floats in the air.
"Yu'er, that plum blossom is blooming just right." Gu Xinian stopped, and praised with a smile: "Break a branch, insert it into the bottle, and use it to practice pen copying." Now you go and pick a good branch, preferably one with branches. ”
Gu Xiyu obeyed Gu Xinian's words, and immediately responded with a smile, and trotted over with her skirt.
Only Ye Qinglan and Gu Xinian were left on the path.
