This is reasonable, and it is indeed inconvenient for female relatives to come forward to greet male guests. But how could Ye Qingning have the courage to let Gu Xinian go to "greet" Shen Changan, coughed and laughed: "How can there be a reason for my cousin to greet guests for me, it is more appropriate to invite you to Danfeng Garden." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't have the courage to see what Gu Xinian's expression was, and immediately ordered the maid: "Go and invite Shen Gongzi to Danfeng Garden." ”

The maid hurriedly took the order.

Gu Xinian suppressed the anger in his heart and said quietly: "Cousin Ning is going to greet the guests, so we won't make trouble." Yu'er, your painting hasn't finished yet, so I'll accompany you to finish it. "Obviously, I have made up my mind not to let Gu Xiyu go to see Shen Changan!

Gu Xiyu wanted to say something, but she was defeated in Gu Xinian's cold gaze, and she responded obediently. Facts have proved that Gu Xiyu, who has lived under the care and majesty of her brother all the year round, has no courage to resist most of the time......

Gu Xinian was quite satisfied with her reaction, and his expression eased slightly. But after hearing Ye Qinglan's crisp and pleasant voice, he sank again: "Cousin Gu and Cousin Xiyu don't go to Danfeng Garden, so I'll accompany the sixth sister to go together." ”

Gu Xinian glared at Ye Qinglan, with undoubted anger in his eyes. Since he met Ye Qinglan, his proud self-control has a tendency to decline......

Ye Qinglan didn't look at him, took Ye Qingning's hand and left.

Gu Xiyu saw Gu Xinian's face was ugly, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, we can't paint yet?" ”

……

How could he still be in this mood! Ye Qinglan obviously knew that he hated Shen Changan, but she deliberately went with Ye Qingning, making it clear that she was forcing him to change his mind. also brought Gu Xiyu over......

Gu Xinian took a deep breath and said calmly: "We won't paint anymore." Let the maids clean up, and we will also go to Danfeng Garden! ”

I just said I wouldn't go. Why are you going to go again now? Gu Xiyu almost asked this sentence, and finally swallowed the words back in time. Regardless of why the eldest brother changed his mind, it was good news for her.

Compared with Gu Xiyu's joy, Gu Xinian's mood was very depressed. Not only because Shen Changan came to the door with a cheeky face, but more importantly, he changed his mind because of Ye Qinglan.

This is really a very dangerous signal for him who is determined. He had become more and more concerned about the cunning and clever girl......

Shen Qiuyu's ruthless betrayal is the biggest scar in his heart, and it is also a humiliation that he will never forget. He had sworn to himself that he would never fall in love with any woman again in his life. Never again lose your mind for a woman. After being born again, he kept this vow. There is even the idea of never marrying a wife and being alone from now on.

But who would have thought that in just a few years, he broke his oath and was fascinated by a yellow-haired girl who had not yet grown. There is even a tendency to fall deeper and deeper and unable to extricate themselves......

Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan took the first step and arrived at Danfeng Garden. Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Changan hadn't come yet, Ye Qingning couldn't help but nag a few words worriedly: "Tenth sister, don't blame me for being too talkative." My cousin seems to be easy-going, but he is actually the most arrogant and assertive. I don't like others to disobey him. You're always with him. What if he ignores you in a fit of rage? ”

Although Ye Qingning's temper is arrogant, she is still an ancient woman who has been deeply poisoned by feudal ideology in her bones. In her eyes, women always have to depend on men to survive, and it's okay to be coquettish in front of men. It's not good to screw it all the time.

Ye Qinglan is just the opposite. Don't look at her gentle and easy-going. In fact, he was the most assertive, and he responded lightly: "If you ignore me just because of this little thing, don't have such feelings." ”

It was the first time Ye Qingning had heard such an argument. was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Qinglan blankly. I couldn't speak for a long time.

The girl in front of her was familiar, but so strange. Her eyes were clear and determined. Apparently this is no joke. As always, there seems to be something more in the smile that I can't understand.

Ye Qingning suddenly felt that he had never really understood this good sister......

Ye Qinglan grinned again, and winked at Ye Qingning: "Are you scared by me?" ”

At this moment, the familiar Ye Qinglan returned. Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and glanced at Ye Qinglan with disgust: "You are playing tricks on me again." ”

Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "I'm just joking casually, who knew you would take it seriously." By the way, I'll make a bet with you, Cousin Gu will bring Cousin Xiyu to Danfeng Garden later, believe it or not? ”

Of course, Ye Qingning didn't believe it, and said without thinking: "Okay, bet on it!" The loser cooks for the day. ”

Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, you just wait to wash your hands and make soup." ”

Just as he was talking and laughing, Shen Changan came. Ye Qingning politely invited him to a seat, and ordered someone to serve tea. Shen Changan saw that there were only the two of them but no Gu Xiyu, not to mention how disappointed he was. couldn't help but ask, "Has Sister Gu returned home?" ”

…… It's really not subtle at all!

Ye Qingning was about to answer, but his sharp eyes saw the Gu Xinian brothers and sisters who came suddenly, and his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. No way! It was really said by Ye Qinglan!

Gu Xinian hated Shen Changan so much, and insisted on not letting Gu Xiyu show up before, why did he bring Gu Xiyu in person in a blink of an eye?

Ye Qinglan was actually not completely sure, and at this moment, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood became inexplicably happy. Of course, she knew very well how much of a concession such a move was for Gu Xinian. In the consistent confrontation between the two, this is the first time that Gu Xinian has given in......

Does this mean that he is actually more and more concerned about himself?

Gu Xinian's gaze drifted over faintly, and met Ye Qinglan's happy eyes. Gu Xinian was a little seen through the wolf, and he was also slightly annoyed and unhappy, so he simply looked away.

Ye Qingning had already adjusted in a short moment, and said with a smile: "My cousin came just in time, I really want someone to invite you over!" Such a scene naturally made Gu Xinian step down.

Gu Xinian quickly regained his demeanor as a noble son and sat down elegantly. Gu Xiyu sat down beside him.

Shen Changan suppressed his excitement and said hello with a smile.

As the saying goes, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, he has already expressed such enthusiasm, Gu Xinian will not bother his face again!

It's a pity that Gu Xinian is the exception, and he snorted lukewarmly: "Cousin Meng and Cousin Zheng each went to the official office on an errand, I don't know who Shen Gongzi is visiting when he comes to the mansion today?" ”

……

Shen Changan smiled a little embarrassed, quickly glanced at Gu Xiyu, and then explained: "I wanted to visit Zijun, but I didn't expect him to officially go to the Criminal Department on an errand." What a coincidence! The fact is that he really wants to take care of Xiyu too much, so he came to visit with a thick face. Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyu saw it, and by the way, he also sent an uncle with a colder face and a colder heart......

Gu Xinian pulled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "It's really not a coincidence." If you really want to see Cousin Meng, then I will definitely tell him on my behalf and ask him to visit the Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion another day. Shen Gongzi of the province also ran for nothing! ”

…… It's really a shame that Shen Changan is old and thick-skinned, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to survive.

Although Ye Qingning was very sympathetic to Shen Changan, he didn't dare to help lightly. Not to mention Gu Xiyu, she has always been silent and silent. In such occasions, it is common to say nothing.

Only Ye Qinglan has the courage, guts and strength to save the scene!

"Shen Gongzi is in the Ministry of War, so he should be very busy!" Ye Qinglan opened the topic with a smile.

Shen Changan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a busy smile: "It's really busy." So I haven't been able to come here these days. Today, when things are done, I took some time to visit Zijun. By the way, Zijun has already started working as an errand in the Criminal Department, so he should be very busy! ”

"Yes, I go out early and return late every day, and I haven't seen anyone else for several days." Ye Qinglan's tone accidentally revealed a trace of amazement and embarrassment.

Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to make Gu Xinian's face gloomy.

Shen Changan didn't notice it, and still talked to Ye Qinglan about various topics about Meng Zijun: "...... I told this kid before that if he came to the military headquarters, I would take care of him more. But he wanted to go to the Criminal Department, and he also went to the most bitter and tiring Supervision and Arrest Division, and this errand never stopped from morning to night. Sometimes it offends the powerful, but in short, it is not a good errand. But he just wants to go, and he can't persuade him......"

Shen Changan complained a lot out of brotherly righteousness.

Ye Qinglan listened with a smile, and after Shen Changan finished speaking, she said lightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, as long as he likes it." ”

Shen Changan thought about it and smiled: "What you said is also right. As long as he doesn't feel bitter. ”

The two chatted happily, but the more Gu Xinian listened, the more uncomfortable he became. When Ye Qinglan mentioned Meng Zijun, there was always a strange familiarity and unconscious intimacy. It's weird that he can listen to it......

Gu Xinian said coldly: "It's already noon, is Shen Gongzi planning to stay for lunch?" ”

…… Originally, there was indeed a plan for this. But the good-tempered Zheng Junyan and his good brother Meng Zijun are not there, and he really doesn't have the courage to face Gu Xinian's poisonous tongue alone.

Anyway, he is already mentally prepared for a long-term battle, so he doesn't have to rush forward, it's not cost-effective to anger his eldest brother!

Shen Chang'an's mind was racing, so he got up and said goodbye.

Ye Qingning politely said a few words, and then sent the guests off the boat. Shen Changan glanced at Gu Xiyu reluctantly, and finally left.

Although he didn't have a chance to speak, he might see Gu Xiyu's side, and it would be in vain. (To be continued......)
