When it was time for lunch, Zheng enthusiastically left Gu Xinian for lunch. Gu Xinian excused himself a little, and then respectfully stayed as obedient as he was served.

Ye Qingrou was reluctant to leave, but the Li family sent a personal maid to call her, so she had to leave aggrieved.

There are no outsiders, so there is no cumbersome rule for men and women to sit separately. The crowd sat down in a circle.

Zheng asked casually: "Why didn't Sister Lan come over today?" ”

Ye Qingning coughed and responded: "The tenth sister is not very well, she is resting in the Hefeng Courtyard, and she probably won't come over." I'll let Zhixia go over and take a look. ”

Zheng's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile. Ye Qinglan didn't appear before, and she secretly felt strange in her heart. Now he didn't even show up for lunch, obviously deliberately avoiding Gu Xinian. Zhixia's trip must have been in vain.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Zhixia hurriedly ran back to report: "Miss Ten is unwell, so she can't say it's here." ”

Gu Xinian's eyes were slightly dark, but his face was silent. After lunch, Gu Xinian smiled suddenly: "Auntie, I have something I want to say to Yu'er alone, please allow me and Yu'er to retire for a while." ”

Zheng responded with a smile.

When other brothers and sisters wanted to talk alone, Ye Qingning naturally didn't want to follow them cheekily, so he could only watch them go. couldn't help but sigh lightly, and when he turned around, he looked at the Zheng family with a slightly displeased look. Ye Qingning looked away with some weakness.

Zheng Shi said lightly: "Ning'er, you are already a married person, and you will get married next year at most." Be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

Ye Qingning bit her lip and didn't speak.

Zheng looked at her stubborn appearance, his heart suddenly softened, and his tone softened: "Okay, you can go back and rest first!" ”

Ye Qingning's mind was confused, he didn't say anything, and left in silence.

Zheng looked at her back. I couldn't help but sigh too.

Gu Xiyu silently followed behind Gu Xinian, walked for a while and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked hesitantly: "Big brother, don't you have something to say to me?" "How do you keep going? And. This direction seems to be towards Hefu-in......

Gu Xinian smiled casually, and said casually: "Let's talk about it when we get to Hefeng Courtyard." ”

Gu Xiyu's footsteps paused, and the volume suddenly raised: "Big brother is going to Hefeng Courtyard?" "However, Cousin Lan didn't want to hide in Hefeng Courtyard without seeing him!

Gu Xinian stopped. Raised eyebrows and chuckled: "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? ”

Of course it's not appropriate, it's still a big mistake! As soon as the two of them meet, they will be tense, what if they quarrel again? Gu Xiyu thought about it for a long time before she came up with a reason: "Cousin Lan is not feeling well and is resting." Let's not bother her! ”

Gu Xinian pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "Oh? Is Cousin Lan uncomfortable? Then I'm going to have to 'visit' it even more. Also, if you live here, you will definitely have to bother Cousin Lan to take care of it. I took this opportunity to thank her. ”

Gu Xiyu no longer understands the world. I also noticed that something was wrong. I want to say something more. Gu Xinian had already raised his feet and left. Gu Xiyu had no choice but to follow, secretly anxious in her heart. But the more anxious I was, the more my mind was blank, and I couldn't think of any way at all.

Seeing that the Hefeng Courtyard was close in front of him, the gate of the courtyard was already clearly visible. Gu Xiyu said fiercely: "Big brother, don't go in." Cousin Lan ...... her She's not sick at all, she just doesn't want to see you. "Finished. Gu Xiyu lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at Gu Xinian again.

Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Gu Xinian smiled and sighed: "Yu'er, you finally told me the truth." "If Gu Xiyu keeps silent, he, as a big brother, will not feel good at all.

Uh, why is this reaction from Big Brother?

Gu Xiyu raised her head a little dazedly. Of course, with her skills, she couldn't guess what was brewing in Gu Xinianyun's light smile.

"Actually, I guessed that she was faking her illness." Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I will never quarrel with her again this time." ”

Gu Xiyu glanced at him suspiciously.

Gu Xinian couldn't cry or laugh: "What, don't you believe what I said?" "Since Ye Qinglan appeared, the changes in Gu Xiyu's body have been slow but very significant. In the past, Gu Xiyu would never doubt what he said.

Gu Xiyu reluctantly responded: "Of course I believe in the eldest brother." That being said, the look on his face wasn't what it was.

Gu Xinian was angry and funny, and reluctantly promised: "Big brother assures you that if I quarrel with Cousin Lan again, you will ignore me in the future, this kind of work!" ”

Gu Xiyu was relieved at this time, and walked forward with Gu Xinian, and the little servant Quanfu hurriedly knocked on the door. It was the little maid Ying'er who came to open the door.

When Ying'er saw the visitor, she was busy greeting with a smile and greetings, but she was secretly strange in her heart. Why did Gu Xinian come to Hefeng Courtyard? Just as he was thinking about making a report, Gu Xinian had already entered the courtyard slowly.

At this time, most of the courtyards were four-way courtyards, and the structure was similar. Although it was the first time for Gu Xinian to come to Hefeng Courtyard, his eyes swept and he naturally walked towards the main hall. The main hall is generally used for entertaining guests, and around the main hall, there is a slightly smaller side hall, which is the daily living place.

As soon as I walked to the door, before I stepped into the side hall, a familiar girl's voice came out: "I hate it, why ......is it crooked again?" There was a rare trace of shame in the voice.

Gu Xinian subconsciously hooked the corners of his lips, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Gu Xiyu was about to speak, when she saw Gu Xinian quickly give her a look. Gu Xiyu reflexively stopped her mouth, subconsciously lightened her steps, and entered the side hall with Gu Xinian.

After completing this series of actions, Gu Xiyu remembered a question in hindsight. Strange, why did they sneak in like thieves?

Ruixue, who was waiting on the side, was startled by the two brothers and sisters who suddenly walked in, and was about to open her mouth. Gu Xinian looked at it, his dark eyes smiled, as if he could speak.

Rui Xue was instantly dazzled by the beautiful man's slight smile, and her heart was pounding, so she naturally forgot to remind her master.

At this time, Ye Qinglan was bowing her head and fighting with her purse. Embroidery requires full attention, Ye Qinglan lowered her head seriously, and the slightly clumsy flying needle thread was not noticed by the slight footsteps behind her.

I didn't understand it when I didn't learn, but now I know how much effort it takes to embroider a purse. The inconspicuous purse in his hand has been working on it for several days, and it is finally about to be completed. There are only a few last stitches left, come on!

Ye Qinglan concentrated on the last stitch, and finally finished embroidering the half-opened orchid. Although the pattern of the needlework is a little strange, it is finally the first purse she has made!

Ye Qinglan raised her head happily and proudly announced to Rui Xue: "Rui Xue, come over and take a look, my purse is ready!" ”

Hey? Why is Ruixue's expression a little weird? Also, what's going on with the muffled laughter behind him?

Ye Qinglan turned her head suspiciously, then gasped and stood up reflexively: "You, why are you here?!" ”

Who can sue her for the sudden appearance of this person here!!

Gu Xinian smiled and said politely: "I heard that Cousin Lan is not in good health, so I came to visit. After a pause, he smiled slowly: "However, since Cousin Lan has the strength to embroider purses, I think my body is almost fine!" ”

Obviously, his tone was so gentle and polite, but his eyes were full of teasing smiles.

Ye Qinglan pressed down the flame that was rising in her heart, and responded with a smile: "Thank you Cousin Gu for your 'concern', my body is indeed much better." "If you can make the fun disappear from my eyes immediately, I'll be better sooner!

Gu Xinian looked at the small flame shining in her eyes, and somehow, she didn't feel the slightest displeasure in her heart, but was a little relieved.

Finally see her again!

A lot has happened in the past month or so, and he is actually very busy, and he doesn't know how much he has to do. However, this pretty face appeared in his mind from time to time. The scene of the fierce quarrel between the two before seemed to be fixed in his mind, and he always remembered it inadvertently. Then, as if I was touched by something, there was a faint tingling.

Now, the two are finally meeting again. His mood was actually a little pleasant, so there was a smile in his eyes and lips.

It's just that in Ye Qinglan's eyes, this smile is simply mockery and provocation.

Ye Qinglan tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart, quickly looked away, and said to Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu, when did you come?" Why don't you say anything, don't be scared just now! ”

Gu Xiyu said a little apologetically: "It's the eldest brother who didn't let me make a sound, I didn't expect it to scare you." ”

Just know it's him!

Ye Qinglan thought angrily in her heart, but squeezed out a gentle and kind smile on her face: "It's okay, you don't have to take this little thing to heart." I'm not the kind of person who can't even tolerate trivial things with small belly chicken intestines, and I won't be angry. ”

The kind of person who can't even tolerate trivial things with small belly chicken intestines...... Who are you talking about?

Gu Xinian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared mostly.

Ye Qinglan looked at it at the right time, and pretended to smile in surprise: "Cousin Gu, why is your face so ugly." I just said it casually, not yours. Aren't you angry? ”

Gu Xinian pulled the corners of his lips with a smile: "Of course I'm not angry." ”

When Ye Qinglan saw his expression, her heart suddenly felt very comfortable.

Gu Xiyu's sharp eyes looked at the purse she was holding in her hand, and said with a smile: "Cousin Lan, is your purse embroidered?" Show me. ”

Ye Qinglan smiled and reflexively hid her purse behind her.
