Chapter 81: Decision
There was a suffocating silence in the room.
Zheng and Ye Qingning's eyes were all looking at Ye Qinglan. It's just that the intentions of the two are diametrically opposed.
One hoped that she would take the initiative to refuse the matter, so as not to cause twists and turns after Gu Xiyu got better. One thought that she nodded quickly, and maybe she would have more opportunities to enter and leave the Dingguo Mansion in the future......
"Auntie," Ye Qinglan slowly opened her mouth: "My body is not well yet, I should recuperate, and it is not suitable to go out of the house at all......
Zheng's expression softened a little, but before the shallow smile unfolded, he heard Ye Qinglan's words change: "But my aunt is kind to her fist, and I am really embarrassed to refuse." I had to be cheeky and talk about it first. ”
Zheng's smile froze at the corner of his lips: "Have you really thought about it?" ”
Ye Qinglan raised her head and replied quietly: "Yes, I have already thought about it." ”
She knew that such a decision would definitely make Zheng unhappy. As long as Gu Xiyu maintains the status quo, Mrs. Xu will never start to say goodbye. Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan's family affair is logical, and there will be no more waves.
In terms of her personality, she should have pushed this matter down according to Zheng's wishes. Zheng is happy in his heart, and he will definitely treat her better in the future. She can also gain a better foothold in the house......
But as long as he thought of Gu Xiyu's timid eyes with longing, these trade-offs suddenly became less important.
As long as Gu Xiyu can be completely cured, even if it will annoy the Zheng family, he can't take care of it.
Zheng took a deep breath and pretended to be indifferent: "It's okay, since you have this heart, I will immediately send someone to the Dingguo Mansion to deliver a letter." You go back first and let someone pack your luggage, and the Dingguo Mansion will send someone to pick you up for a few days or at most. ”
Ye Qingning's lips moved, and she was about to say something, but Zheng glanced at her coldly, and Ye Qingning's words came to her mouth and swallowed them back raw.
Zheng didn't plan to let her go to the Dingguo Mansion with her......
Ye Qinglan stood aside honestly. No matter what Zheng said, he obediently responded. It's just that no matter how well-behaved and honest she is now, Zheng looks unpleasant. This girl has always been smart and clever, and it is impossible not to guess her mind, but she made such a decision. It's clear that there is a plan......
Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't know what he thought, so he glanced at Ye Qinglan meaningfully.
Ye Qinglan kept pondering Zheng's thoughts in her heart, but her face was silent.
Zheng coughed lightly and ordered casually: "I'm tired of the day today." You go back and rest first! ”
Ye Qinglan respectfully saluted and retired. Ye Qingning also retired without thinking. Zheng wanted to count the fallen leaves Qingning a few more words, but when he saw that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, he couldn't help but soften. Sighing and waving her hand, she was ready to go.
Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated with Ye Qinglan. As soon as he got out of Luomei Courtyard, Ye Qingning said in a low voice: "Tenth sister, I'll look for you at night." ”
Ye Qinglan snorted. It was inconvenient to speak on the way, and the two whispered a few words. And they dispersed.
After returning to Hefeng Courtyard, Ye Qinglan instructed Rui Xue and the others to pack their luggage.
Rui Xue asked, "Miss, how long will you stay in the Dingguo Mansion this time?" Do you want to bring more clothes with you? ”
Ye Qinglan smiled dumbly: "I'm just going to stay for a few days, and it's not like I'm staying there for a long time and not coming back." Just bring a few clothes. "She has serious things to do on this trip, who is going to show her dress?
Ye Qinglan rarely puts her master on the shelf, and Rui Xue is a lot more relaxed in front of her. boldly laughed and said: "In addition to Gu Gongzi in the Dingguo Mansion, there must be a young and promising Gongzi, doesn't Miss want to seize such a good opportunity?" ”
Ye Qinglan half-jokingly spat her: "What do you think of me?" Besides. My vision is very high. I don't like casual people. ”
Rui Xue smiled and said tentatively: "What about Gu Gongzi?" The slave maid looked at it, and Gu Gongzi seemed to look at the young lady differently! "The last time I was in the Dingguo Mansion, Gu Xinian paid special attention to Ye Qinglan, and everyone saw it.
Ye Qinglan raised her delicate eyebrows and smiled casually: "Do you think he might like me?" ”
Ruixue was stunned by the question.
Ye Qinglan tugged at the corners of her lips. There was no smile in his eyes: "Ruixue, you follow me every day." There are some things that you don't need to say, and you should know what to do. It's just a joke to say in front of me. But if someone else hears it, what will they think of me? ”
will definitely laugh at her, a concubine, who doesn't know the height of the sky, and gives birth to such delusions.
Rui Xue blushed with shame, and pleaded in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's the slave who has overstepped the ......" Ye Qinglan's tone was very gentle, but the meaning in her words was obvious, and she was clearly blaming her for talking too much.
Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "I know you said this out of kindness, but before you speak next time, think about it more." ”
Cold sweat broke out on Ruixue's forehead, but she resignedly agreed.
Ye Qinglan tapped a few words, and then didn't say more. After dinner, Ye Qinglan casually took an idle book to pass the time. Since Ye Qingning said that he would come to him, he should not miss the appointment.
After waiting for about half an hour, Ye Qingning really came.
Ye Qinglan hurriedly got up and greeted him. Ye Qingning was preoccupied, smiled casually, and sat down in silence.
The maids all retreated in good spirits. Only Rui Xue and Zhi Xia were left to serve. Zhixia glanced at Ruixue, and Ruixue understood. The two silently retreated and stood guard outside the door.
As a result, only Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan were left in the room. It's the perfect time to whisper something intimate.
Ye Qingning didn't know what he was thinking, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Tenth sister, you say, will Cousin Xiyu get better in the future?" A girl's mind is revealed in this sentence.
Ye Qinglan nodded affirmatively: "Cousin Xiyu will definitely get better." "She will definitely cure Gu Xiyu's autism.
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up. His eyes were full of hope: "If Cousin Xiyu gets better, will my aunt go to the Dingguo Mansion to propose marriage?" "When the time comes, she and Zheng Junyan will not be forced together......
Ye Qinglan didn't say anything, just looked at Ye Qingning quietly.
Ye Qingning was uncomfortable when he was watched: "Tenth sister, what's wrong?" Am I saying something wrong? ”
"Sixth sister," Ye Qinglan restrained her smile and asked seriously, "What do you think in your heart?" Are you really reluctant to marry Cousin Zheng at all? ”
A trace of confusion flashed in Ye Qingning's eyes, and she murmured: "I don't know ...... either" The girl's mind is like a gust of wind in spring, it can change at any time, and even she herself doesn't know what she wants to think.
What she likes is Gu Xinian, but even she knows very well that Gu Xinian is just an ordinary cousin and sister to her, and there is no love between men and women at all. Her girlish feelings, as Zheng said, are just wishful thinking. Zheng Junyan is the best choice.
But she obeyed her parents' orders to marry Zheng Junyan, but she felt unwilling in her heart......
Ye Qinglan quietly looked at Ye Qingning, whose face was uncertain, and suddenly a trace of sympathy suddenly appeared in her heart. The beautiful and proud girl in front of her is top-notch in appearance and family talent, but she also has so many troubles.
The so-called happiness is really not related to these external conditions in many cases.
"Sixth sister, if you really don't want to marry Cousin Zheng, you can talk to your aunt. She loves you so much, she will definitely cling to you. Ye Qinglan said slowly, carefully paying attention to Ye Qingning's reaction.
Ye Qingning smiled bitterly and sighed: "Impossible, my mother is determined to let me marry my cousin, and it is impossible to give up because I said a few words." ”
Since a long time ago, the Zheng family has had this plan, and they have never been afraid to let Ye Qingning know. Ye Qingning also had a good impression of his cousin Zheng Junyan, who grew up together, and did not really resist this matter. It wasn't until the past two years that Ye Qingning got older, and finally really understood the taste of love and finally understood who he really liked in his heart.
Ye Qinglan pondered for a moment before she said, "Sixth sister, if you like Cousin Gu so much, why don't you give it a try?" ”
Get your feet wet?
Ye Qingning's face was stunned, savoring these words. Later, a heart involuntarily thumped up. Can she really give it a try?
Ye Qinglan's voice sounded like a dream, ringing in her ears: "If you like someone, you should at least let him know." If he is willing to accept your affection, everyone will be happy. Even if he doesn't respond, at least, you've worked your feelings. No matter who marries in the future, there will be no regrets. ”
These words were both direct and bold, Ye Qingning was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Ye Qinglan was very calm, as if she was talking about whether the weather would be sunny or cloudy tomorrow: "I've tried, at least there is a glimmer of hope." If you don't even have the courage to give it a try, then you don't have a chance at all. It's up to you how you want to do it. ”
Ye Qingning looked at Ye Qinglan in a daze.
It's obviously still that familiar face, but the calmness and composure between the eyebrows are so unfamiliar......
Ye Qinglan knew that Ye Qingning must have been hit a lot at this moment. Don't look at Ye Qingning's reserved and arrogant, but in her bones she is a helpless girl who is tightly bound by feudal etiquette. It is strange not to be shocked when you hear such "rebellious" words.
However, she was by no means trying to instigate Ye Qingning to do anything. I just want Ye Qingning to take this opportunity to think about what he wants thoroughly.
Ye Qingning thought about it for a long, long time.
Ye Qinglan didn't speak again, just quietly accompanied Ye Qingning. Looking at Ye Qingning's distressed hesitation and frowning, watching Ye Qingning hesitate and be in a dilemma.
