Chapter 379: Feint
After breakfast, the group went to greet Mrs. Xu. Then he went to greet Duchess Zheng Guo.
When Duchess Zheng Guo saw Gu Xinian's brother and sister, she was naturally happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "It is rare for you two to come back once, but you can stay for a few more days and then go back." "Duchess Zheng Guo has one son and three daughters. The eldest daughter married into the Dingguo Mansion, the second daughter married into the Changyuan Mansion, and the third daughter entered the palace as a concubine. It's a remarkable one.
Gu Xinian replied with a smile: "Then Yu'er and I won't leave, and then my grandmother won't be annoyed with the two of us." โ
Duchess Zheng Guo was coaxed and laughed.
At this time on weekdays, Gu Xinian had already gone to the official office, but today he didn't leave for a long time. I chatted with Duchess Zheng Guo for a long time. Until Duchess Zheng Guo reminded with a smile: "Xi Nian, don't you have to go to the official office to run an errand today?" โ
Gu Xinian got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan intentionally or unintentionally. Ye Qinglan kept hanging her head and didn't look at him. Gu Xinian's eyes darkened, and he left as if nothing had happened.
Meng Zijun is going to report to the Criminal Department today, and Zheng Junyan is going to the Ministry of Officials. Soon, the men scattered completely, leaving Ye Qinglan, Ye Qingning, and Gu Xiyu.
Gu Xinian and Meng Zijun were not there, Ye Qinglan suddenly relaxed a lot, and accompanied Gu Xiyu and Ye Qingning to talk to relieve boredom. A day passed in a flash.
In the evening, Mencius was the first to return. Happily came to Danfeng Garden, proudly showing off the two new official uniforms. In fact, it is a bit inappropriate to say that the official uniform should be the work uniform. The errand of the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department is not even a grade. The two brand-new clothes were similar to the soap clothes of the officials in the yamen. It's not pretty.
Ye Qingning looked at it a few times. Cover your mouth and smile: "Cousin Meng, do you really plan to wear this clothes to the Criminal Department on an errand?" โ
Meng Zijun nodded as a matter of course. His eyes were full of excitement: "Of course." Does my cousin think this dress is very handsome? โ
โฆโฆ I really don't see it! Ye Qingning kindly chose to be silent.
Gu Xiyu glanced at it curiously, and then said very honestly: "I think this dress is so ugly." โ
Meng Zijun: "......"
Ye Qinglan smiled and played a round game: "This is worn when I was on an errand." The important thing is that it is dirty and wear-resistant, and whether it looks good or not is secondary. She still remembered how Meng Zijun looked when he wore a police uniform, tall and handsome, and majestic. I think it will look good in this outfit, too!
Meng Zijun obviously also recalled the past, and sighed a little sadly. Then he cheered up and smiled: "I'm going to go on an errand from tomorrow." You can take a break on the last day of the month. โ
The cases in the Criminal Department were piled up, and he didn't even have time to train and take up his post, so he directly ordered Meng Zijun to start his official errand from now on. Fortunately, Meng Zijun has many years of experience as a criminal policeman, and now he is back to his old job. It's confident.
After a while, Zheng Junyan also came back with a smile on his face.
As a new science and technology scholar, and the little son of Zheng Guogong's mansion, his career is much stronger than that of ordinary students. As soon as Zheng Junyan entered the Ministry of Officials, he became a member of the Ministry of Officials, and he was a serious official from the fifth grade.
When Meng Zijun heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations cousin, as soon as you enter the Ministry of Officials, you will become a member of the Ministry of Officials, and in a few years." The squire of the criminal department is not a matter of being caught. โ
Zheng Junyan smiled humbly: "How can there be such a good thing, when you first enter the career, there are still many places that need to be honed." โ
Meng Zijun grinned and said, "Such a happy event must be celebrated tonight." โ
Mention celebrity. Zheng Junyan thought of the scene when several people were drunk yesterday, and hurriedly said: "I can't drink so much wine tonight." I'll have to go to the ministry tomorrow morning, and I'll have to go early on the first day. so as not to make a bad impression. You're going to be on an official errand tomorrow, so you'll have to pay attention. โ
Meng Zijun thought for a moment. He nodded in agreement.
The sky was getting dark, in the dining room of Danfeng Garden. The hot meal was served. But Gu Xinian never came back.
Gu Xiyu was in a hurry, and ordered Moxiang to go to the gate of the courtyard to have a look.
Mo Xiang answered and hurried away. Then he came back soon after: "Cousin Qiyu, the young master hasn't come back yet." "In a short period of time, this is already the third time.
Gu Xiyu sighed with some disappointment: "It seems that the eldest brother will not come back for dinner." Let's not wait for him! He used to socialize a lot, and rarely went home for dinner. โ
Zheng Junyan and the others insisted on waiting for another cup of tea, but they couldn't see Gu Xinian's figure when they waited for the right, so they had to start eating dinner.
Ye Qinglan ate dinner a little absent-mindedly, occasionally looking up at the empty position opposite, and there was a faint sense of loss in her heart. Gu Xinian specially stayed here, wasn't it just to get together with her more? But on the first day, he disappeared all day...... Of course, she didn't think about him! It's just a little uncomfortable.
Obviously, in his heart, the affairs of the court and his deep hatred are much more important than her......
Meng Zijun glanced at Ye Qinglan from time to time, and couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that she couldn't lift her spirits. Obviously it was fine before, why are you so absent-minded in a blink of an eye?
Meng Zijun didn't want to think deeply, so he forced himself to turn his thoughts away, and chatted with Zheng Junyan with a smile. The topic has been revolving around the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. It quickly attracted everyone's attention.
After dinner, everyone moved to the side hall and continued to drink tea and chat.
waited until the time of the child, and Gu Xinian came back. His gait was quite steady, but he was covered in the smell of wine, frowning slightly, and his face was not very good-looking.
Gu Xiyu's heart suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly greeted her, and asked worriedly, "Big brother, why did you come back so late?" Is it that you drank too much and your face is so ugly. โ
Zheng Junyan also disagreed: "Cousin, you were drunk yesterday, how can you drink again today, this is too hurtful." โ
"Today, I have to go to the banquet of Qian Shilang." Gu Xinian was probably really uncomfortable, and he lost his previous elegance and calmness, and sighed with a wry smile: "I drank hard one by one, and I couldn't hide." โ
Gu Xiyu looked very distressed, and immediately said, "Big brother, you go back and rest quickly." As he spoke, he naturally held Gu Xinian's arm.
Gu Xinian snorted, but didn't move, and glanced at Ye Qinglan as if he didn't have anything.
Ye Qinglan didn't want to deal with him, but seeing his rare weak appearance, she finally relented. got up ruthlessly and walked to Gu Xiyu's side: "Cousin Xiyu, I will also accompany you to Songtao Courtyard." โ
Gu Xiyu responded with a smile.
The corners of Gu Xinian's lips raised slightly, and a smile quickly flashed in his eyes. Immediately disappeared in the bottom of his eyes, still frowning. It's weak and uncomfortable to look at.
Zheng Junyan looked at this scene, secretly surprised in his heart, and was about to say something to remind, but Ye Qingning quickly pulled his sleeve. Zheng Junyan swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
And Meng Zijun was the most shocked of all. He even forgot to hide it, and just looked at Ye Qinglan directly. My heart felt like I was blocked by a stone, and I couldn't breathe heavily.
Ye Qinglan...... Why do you want to be together with Shoto-in? It's obviously not because of yourself......
Ye Qinglan didn't look at Meng Zijun, but she could feel how much shock was in those eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With Meng Zijun's acumen, he could naturally quickly guess the truth of the matter. It is impossible for her and Gu Xinian's affairs to be hidden from Meng Zijun all the time. Perhaps, it would be best for him to let him know earlier. I hope he can die to himself as soon as possible and find the feelings that really belong to him in the future......
Meng Zijun watched Ye Qinglan walk out with the Gu Xiyu brothers and sisters, his heart sank straight down, and he clenched his fists unconsciously, suddenly feeling that it was a little difficult to breathe.
Zheng Junyan couldn't help but be startled when he saw that his face was different, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you, why did your face suddenly become so ugly?" โ
Meng Zijun forced himself to squeeze a smile, but he lost his previous heartiness, and even a little bitter: "I've been running around all day today, probably too tired." A night's rest will be fine, you don't have to worry. I'll go back. With that, he also walked out.
Zheng Junyan looked at Meng Zijun's figure, and his brows furrowed.
These ones are weird. Especially Ye Qinglan, Gu Xiyu went to Songtao Courtyard to take care of her brother, what kind of excitement did she follow? Thinking of Meng Zijun's strange appearance just now, a shocking conjecture suddenly came to mind.
"Ning'er," Zheng Junyan suddenly felt a little inexplicably nervous: "You say, is my cousin ...... with the tenth sister" a little abnormal?
Ye Qingning didn't hide it again this time, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
The ambiguity between Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan can no longer be concealed from the clear-eyed. Zheng Junyan has long been suspicious these days, so he simply sued him, so that he could be mentally prepared, and by the way, he could also help cover up or something.
Zheng Junyan was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.
Ye Qingning said in a low voice: "Don't tell anyone about this." If it spreads, it will not be good for the tenth sister's reputation. โ
Zheng Junyan froze, and then sighed: "I really didn't expect the two of them to become a couple." "No wonder Gu Xinian suddenly wanted to stay as a guest, no wonder Ye Qinglan would take the initiative to approach Gu Xinian, his previous instinct was really right......
The more Zheng Junyan thought about it, the more incredible he felt, and couldn't help asking, "It's really strange, how did my cousin get along with my tenth sister?" "It's obviously two people who can't beat eight poles.
"It's a long story, I'll talk to you later." Ye Qingning told again: "You just have a good idea in your heart, but don't expose this layer of window paper, so as not to embarrass my cousin and tenth sister." โ
Zheng Junyan nodded in response, but he was secretly sighing in his heart. Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan have already become a couple, and it seems that Meng Zijun's heart is destined to be put into flowing water......-
