Ye Qinglan was very curious about what this Dingguo Mansion looked like, so she hurriedly came to Ye Qingning's side and looked out through the gap in the car window.

As far as the eye can see, there is a wide and long bluestone alley. The Dingguo Mansion is located at the end of the alley. From a distance, it is not clear to see, but the imposing gate is unobstructed.

When you look closer, it's even more staggering.

I saw a heavy plaque hanging above the gate, on which were written the four big characters of "Dingguo Gongfu". I don't know how many years the plaque has gone through, but it is simple and vigorous. There were two majestic stone lions squatting next to the gate, and the road in front of the gate was wide enough for four carriages to run side by side.

At the foot of the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, it is natural that such a magnificent mansion is by no means an ordinary official house.

Ye Qinglan exclaimed: "So majestic and magnificent!" ”

"Of course." Ye Qingning's casual smile clearly revealed a bit of arrogance and self-satisfaction.

Ye Qingrou's heart itched when she heard this, and she wanted to come over and talk together, but she couldn't pull off this face. Ye Qinglan smiled at the right time: "Eighth sister, you can also come over and have a look!" ”

Ye Qingrou stepped down from the stage and came over.

Ye Qingning glanced at Ye Qingrou and wanted to snort, but finally held back again. Forget it, it's hard to get out of the house today, so don't spoil the mood.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Dingguo Mansion.

The porter rushed to report it, and after a while, Mrs. Zheng led a bunch of maids and ladies to greet her.

When everyone meets, there is a lively greeting. Mrs. Zheng greeted the Zheng family, and then greeted the three Ye Qinglan sisters one by one. I don't know if it's an illusion, Ye Qinglan always felt that Mrs. Zheng's gaze fell on her body a little longer.

Ye Qingning glanced behind Mrs. Zheng, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. There is no figure of Gu Xinian at all......

Everyone walked to the house with Mrs. Zheng.

Ye Qinglan casually looked at the surrounding scenery and secretly compared it with Changyuan Bofu. Changyuan Bofu is full of luxury and exquisiteness, and there are countless strange flowers and plants in the garden. On the contrary, the Dingguo Mansion is much more low-key, and there are not many particularly exquisite and special furnishings. Even the pavilion in the garden shows the traces of time.

However, the profound heritage of the century-old princely family is also fully revealed.

Ye Qingrou muttered in a low voice: "It's better for us to live in Changyuan Bofu!" This sentence was very quiet, and only Ye Qingning and Ye Qinglan heard it.

It's really eyeless! Only those who are newly rich and have no foundation will be anxious to show their style with exquisite carved beams and paintings. A truly well-established aristocratic family doesn't need to be like this at all.

Ye Qingning raised his eyebrows and sneered, although he didn't say anything, the look of disdain was revealed in his eyes.

Ye Qingrou was secretly angry and gritted her teeth.

Ye Qinglan was afraid that the two would quarrel in front of everyone, so she coughed lightly. Ye Qingning and Ye Qingrou understood her hint, each glanced at each other, and then turned their heads.

What an uneasy pair. It's just a matter of making noise at home, but you can come to someone's house as a guest. It's time to converge! Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, and walked quietly between the two.

Separated by one person, the two of them should always stop a little.

Really. Then both of them were more settled. They were concentrating on the scenery beside the trail, ignoring each other. Ye Qinglan's ears are finally much cleaner.

Soon arrived at Mrs. Zheng's yard.

Jingxin Garden!

Ye Qinglan silently recited in her heart, this name is really chic and elegant. It's much stronger than the Lotus Wind Courtyard or something.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and led everyone to the main hall of Jingxin Garden, and each of them sat down with the guests and hosts. The maids came up with all kinds of snacks and hot tea.

Zheng and Mrs. Zheng chatted about family life. The three Ye Qinglan sisters didn't have a chance to intervene for the time being, so they each took hot tea and sipped it.

Ye Qingning glanced at the door from time to time. This subtle little movement naturally couldn't hide from Ye Qinglan's eyes. I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart, and lowered my voice and said, "Sixth sister, why haven't you seen Cousin Xiyu until now?" ”

When it came to Gu Xiyu, Ye Qingning's expression was a little subtle: "She doesn't like to see the living." Probably not today. ”

When I think of Gu Xiyu, I can't help but think of Zheng Junyan, and then think of Zheng's unwavering attitude. Ye Qingning's heart began to become irritable.

Ye Qinglan is the best at observing words and feelings, and seeing that she didn't want to mention Gu Xiyu, she stopped her mouth with interest.

Although I have only met once. But Gu Xiyu left a deep impression on her. Speaking of conscience, she came to the Dingguo Mansion with her as a guest today, and half of them came to Gu Xiyu......

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zheng ask, "By the way, what about the jade people?" ”

Mrs. Zheng replied with a smile: "I have already asked someone to call her over." Probably in a minute. After a pause, he smiled again: "I specially asked you to bring Sister Lan over this time." just wants her to be closer to Sister Lan. ”

Ye Qinglan was unexpectedly named, and couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately came to her senses, no wonder Zheng insisted on bringing her over, it turned out that Mrs. Zheng specifically mentioned her in the invitation.

Strange, how could Mrs. Zheng suddenly have such an idea?

"Don't mention this, I was just about to ask you!" Zheng Shi was also curious: "Why did you suddenly think of this idea." ”

Ye Qingning and Ye Qingrou also unconsciously erected their ears.

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "After returning from Changyuan Bofu a few days ago, Xi Nian said it in front of me, saying that Xiyu and Sister Lan had a special relationship. I asked Xiyu, and she also said that she was willing to be friends with Sister Lan. ”

When she heard this, she was really surprised and delighted.

This is the first time that Gu Xiyu has clearly expressed her affection for a girl of the same age! Because of this, she invited Zheng and others to be guests in the name of flower appreciation. In fact, the real purpose is to see what kind of temperament Ye Qinglan is.

When I looked at it today, it didn't disappoint. Ye Qinglan's appearance is beautiful and graceful, her demeanor is even more down-to-earth and generous, and the shallow smile on her lips makes people feel close from the bottom of her heart.

Although she is only a third-room concubine in Changyuan Bofu, her identity is far worse than Gu Xiyu. But as long as Gu Xiyu likes it, what's the harm if her status is low?

Everyone's eyes looked at it. Although Ye Qinglan was thick-skinned enough, she had to make a flattered look at this time: "Madam, did Cousin Xiyu really say that?" ”

Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile, not to mention how gentle and kind her attitude was: "She didn't say it, but when I asked, she nodded." Later, I said that I invited you to be a guest, and she was very happy. Don't see outsiders like this in the future, just call me aunt like Ning'er. ”

Ye Qinglan deliberately hesitated for a moment and glanced at the Zheng family, obviously seeking the Zheng family's consent. Seeing that she was so well-behaved and sensible, Zheng was also satisfied, and nodded with a smile.

Ye Qinglan got up and said with a smile: "Then I will have the courage to call my aunt." ”

Mrs. Zheng responded with a pleasant face: "Okay, don't always stand and talk back, sit down quickly." There will be many opportunities to meet in the future! ”

Zheng deliberately quipped: "Yo, I have the opportunity to enjoy the flowers today because of Sister Lan'er's light." ”

Seeing that the relationship between the two sisters was not bad, I saw Mrs. Zheng respond with a smile: "If you don't want to, next time I will only invite Sister Lan to come over, and I won't disturb you." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing Ye Qinglan in the limelight, Ye Qingning and Ye Qingrou couldn't help but feel a little sour in their hearts.

Just then, a young girl walked in.

The girl was dressed in a light green dress, and her long black hair was tied in a bun at random, and most of her hair was draped over her shoulders. The fair-skinned pretty face had a pair of big dark and timid eyes, her eyes were evasive, and she only glanced at Mrs. Zheng and lowered her head.

It's Gu Xiyu here!

Mrs. Zheng gently called Gu Xiyu to her side, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, hurry up and say hello to your aunt." ”

Gu Xiyu said in a low voice: "Yu'er has seen her aunt. But he did not curtsy.

Zheng knew her temper, so he naturally didn't care about her rudeness, and responded with a smile.

Ye Qingning looked at Gu Xiyu, his eyes flickering. Although he knew that Gu Xiyu would never take the initiative to make friends with Zheng Junyan, he was always a little awkward in his heart......

Zheng glanced at Ye Qingning, coughed and said, "Ning'er, you are really becoming more and more impolite. I didn't say anything when I saw my cousin. Probably only Ye Qingning could hear the warning in it.

Ye Qingning had no choice but to get up and say hello to Gu Xiyu with a smile.

Gu Xiyu didn't speak, but pulled the corners of her lips and squeezed out a smile, which can be regarded as saying hello to Ye Qingning.

Ye Qingrou had also heard a little about the various withdrawn habits of this Gu family's daughter, but when she saw it at first glance, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and her expression was not so natural. Unconsciously glanced at Gu Xiyu a few more times.

Gu Xiyu was obviously not used to staring at herself all the time, and unconsciously shrank for a moment.

Ye Qinglan has been quietly observing Gu Xiyu's every move. Judging from Gu Xiyu's appearance, it was obviously much better than that day. This is also the expression that most people with autism will have. I like to stay in familiar places, and once I am in an unfamiliar environment, I will feel more anxious than usual.

Gu Xiyu's wandering gaze and Ye Qinglan's gaze met in the air. Ye Qinglan adjusted herself to the most affinity state, and smiled at Gu Xiyu.

Gu Xiyu obviously remembered her, and smiled back timidly. Although he still didn't speak, his expression was much more relaxed.

Mrs. Zheng paid all her attention to Gu Xiyu, and naturally she could detect this subtle change, and her eyes gradually lit up.

It turns out that what Xi Nian said is true, and Yu'er really likes this Sister Lan.

Mrs. Zheng had an idea, and said with a smile: "There are a few pots of orchids in the garden that are blooming just right, how about going and seeing together?" ”

Zheng responded with a smile.

Mrs. Zheng smiled again and ordered: "It's windy outside, don't go to Yu'er." When he said this, he glanced at Ye Qinglan intentionally or unintentionally-
