Chapter Ninety-Three: Suspicion
Gu Xinian is very handsome, there is no doubt about it. Ye Qinglan had to admit that he was the best-looking man he had seen in his life, and there was no one.
There is always a faint smile on his face, and this seemingly easy-going smile is like a mask, hiding all his true feelings behind the smile. Just like at this moment, he was obviously smiling, but the smile in his eyes was unpredictable.
Are these words he said sincere or perfunctory?
Some men are ambitious and want to make a career, but there are also people who like to spend their lives lazily and leisurely. Will Gu Xinian be the latter?
Ye Qinglan observed for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion: This matter has nothing to do with herself, so don't waste brain cells thinking about this kind of head-wrenching problem. Whether Gu Xinian is depressed and negative, or disguised, it has nothing to do with her. She just needs to stand from a distance and watch the excitement.
However, as soon as she talked about the topic of starting a family, Ye Qinglan suddenly remembered that she still had something very important to do......
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xinian quietly, secretly wondering what suitable opportunity to open her mouth.
Gu Xinian seemed to notice Ye Qinglan's attention to him, and looked at him lightly. The eyes of the two met in the air.
Both of them are masters of hiding their true feelings, and their short eye contact makes it impossible to capture each other's true feelings and thoughts at all. Each snorted softly in his heart, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Xiyu was unaware of these hidden undercurrents, and said with a smile: "Big brother, are you free today?" Would you like to paint with me? ”
Gu Xinian is indeed very fond and accommodating to this sister, and nodded with a smile when he heard this: "Okay." By the way, did you go to my study yesterday? ”
Gu Xiyu nodded, and added: "Cousin Qinglan wants to see your paintings, so I will take her there." ”
Gu Xinian smiled and looked at Ye Qinglan. He said with a smile: "Oh? Does Cousin Lan also like calligraphy and painting? The look was not kind, and even showed a hint of unhappiness.
Sure enough, he is a man with a strong sense of territory, and he hates anyone entering his territory at will. If Gu Xiyu hadn't been used as a shield, I'm afraid that Gu Xinian would have killed him with cold eyes!
Ye Qinglan had no choice but to laugh and say: "I have long heard that Cousin Gu is good at calligraphy and painting, and I became curious for a while, so I begged Cousin Xiyu to bring it to open my eyes." Please also ask Cousin Gu not to blame me for being reckless. ”
A sweet smile and a soft tone are enough to soften anyone's heart.
However, it is clear that Gu Xinian is not one of them.
Gu Xinian responded tepidly: "It's my honor that Cousin Lan is interested in my paintings. But before the next time I go into the study and look through my paintings. Please let us know in advance. I also have time to clean up a little, so as not to make Cousin Lan laugh at some of the paintings that are not elegant. ”
At first glance, this sounds like nothing. can ponder carefully, but each sentence is sharper than the other.
The so-called graffiti painting that is not elegant should not refer to the one thrown in the corner! It was so wronged that she put it on the shelf without even looking at it...... Wait, is it because she picked up the scroll and put it on the shelf. Gu Xinian had a misunderstanding? Thought she had seen that painting?
Ye Qinglan explained innocently: "Cousin Gu misunderstood, I saw a painting scroll in the corner, so I picked it up and put it away, and I didn't open it and read ......it."
"Oh?" Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then thank you Cousin Lan." It was clear that he didn't believe Ye Qinglan's words at all.
Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and simply stopped her mouth. Don't look at his gentle and casual appearance, he looks very good at talking. Actually, that's not the case at all. He is essentially a man who is extremely wary and does not trust others lightly.
Forget it, whatever he wants.
Gu Xiyu finally sensed that something was wrong between the two this time. After thinking about it seriously, he said, "Big brother, are you angry?" "In the past, she always went in and out of her eldest brother's study at will, and the eldest brother never said anything. This time it seems a little different!
Gu Xinian was very gentle with Gu Xiyu: "Don't worry, Yu'er, the eldest brother is not angry." You can go whenever you like. It's just that it's best not to bring "idle people" when you go.
The "idle people" obviously understood what he meant. A hint of disapproval flashed in his eyes, and he pouted invisibly.
Gu Xinian took in her fleeting look. I sneered secretly in my heart.
This girl seems to be honest, but she is actually a ghost. Deliberately approaching my sister.,I don't know what the hell the hell is going on.。 If it weren't for the fact that his sister liked her and she hadn't shown anything unusual for the time being, he would never have let her go so lightly......
Mrs. Zheng's anger gradually subsided, and finally noticed that the atmosphere when Gu Xinian and Ye Qinglan were talking was a little delicate, she was stunned at first, she didn't know what she thought, and a smile suddenly flashed in her eyes. opened his mouth and said, "Xi Nian, aren't you going to accompany Yu'er to paint?" Then hurry up and don't waste time with me. ”
Gu Xiyu responded happily, and was the first to get up, with a relaxed and cheerful look on her face. The gloomy haze between the eyebrows is like rain passing through the sky, and no trace can be found.
Gu Xinian stared at Gu Xiyu's face, and layers of doubts floated in his heart.
Of course, it's a good thing that Gu Xiyu has become cheerful and lively. But Ye Qinglan has only been here for a short day, how could Gu Xiyu have changed so much?
What did Ye Qinglan do?
When the group arrived at the Cold Moon Pavilion, the maids were busy preparing rice paper and various paints. Gu Xiyu stood by Gu Xinian's side affectionately, raised her head and said, "I want to learn to draw characters." ”
She has long been familiar with the drawing of flowers, birds, insects and fish, but the characters are always not very good.
Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "People are the most difficult to draw. If you want to paint vividly, you must not only grasp the most obvious physiognomy characteristics, but also clearly draw a person's temperament and demeanor. Likeness is more important than likeness. ”
Gu Xiyu is very talented in painting, and when she heard these words, she suddenly understood, and nodded slowly.
Gu Xinian asked casually, "Have you figured out who you want to paint?" ”
Gu Xiyu thought about it, smiled suddenly, and pointed with her slender fingers: "It's okay to draw Cousin Lan." ”
……
Ye Qinglan, who was wandering in space, suddenly came to her senses, shook her head and waved her hand again: "Don't don't, don't draw me." "Being a model is nothing, but Gu Xinian is watching from the sidelines, which feels completely different.
As soon as he thought that he was going to stand or sit there honestly for a long time without moving, and then was stared straight at by Gu Xinian with a deep and sharp gaze, his scalp suddenly became faintly numb.
Gu Xiyu insisted very much: "I just want to draw you." Then, blinking his big watery eyes, he looked at Ye Qinglan pitifully, and begged in a low voice: "Okay?" ”
Ye Qinglan suddenly had no strength to parry, so she had to raise her hand and surrender: "Okay, if you want to paint, you can draw it." However, I must first state that I can't sit still for half a day, and I have to take a break halfway through. ”
Gu Xiyu's goal was achieved, and he smiled with satisfaction.
Although the smile is not so bright and bright, it already has the youthful demeanor of a girl.
Ye Qinglan looked at it and was so relieved and happy. As long as you can coax Gu Xiyu to be happy, you can sacrifice it today: "What do you need me to do, just give me orders!" ”
Gu Xiyu thought about it and pulled Ye Qinglan out of the study. Then he walked to the swing frame under the tree and motioned for Ye Qinglan to sit down. Ye Qinglan had no choice but to sit down as she said.
The warm and bright sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, the wide swing frame is very comfortable to sit on, the vines in your hands are also interesting, and you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers on the tip of your nose. If you ignore the slender figure not far away, it is really comfortable and comfortable.
Gu Xiyu looked left and right, and seemed to feel that something was missing.
"Since you're sitting on a swing rack, of course someone has to push it." Gu Xinian smiled idly: "Otherwise, there will be less charm." ”
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.
Ruixue and Hongluan hurriedly leaned over and gently forced. The swing frame slowly swayed.
The breeze blows, the corners of the girl's skirt on the swing frame fly, the hair is fluttering, and the eyes are as bright as the stars. The gentle and quiet of the usual days quietly disappeared, replaced by a joyful look, with a smile on the lips, a pretty face like jade, and the beauty was incredible!
Gu Xiyu suddenly had an inspiration, took a few careful looks, and secretly started a draft in his heart.
Mo Xiang had already commanded the maids to carry out the painting. Gu Xiyu walked to the painting case, thought for a moment, and then began to start writing.
Gu Xinian came to Gu Xiyu's side and pointed in a low voice.
From a distance, Ye Qinglan couldn't hear what the two were saying, and only vaguely listened to a few words. She listened with her ears pricked up, trying to hear what the two of them were talking about. Later, I didn't bother to listen, so I simply closed my eyes and focused on the feeling of flying in the air.
It was a feeling of freedom.
At this moment, all the rules and constraints are left behind, you don't have to think about what to say or do, you don't have to worry about being seen as flawed, you don't have to think about anything. Just fly with the swing......
Before you know it, the swing is flying higher and higher.
Ye Qinglan only felt that her body was flying with the wind, as if she was going to break free from all the shackles at any time and fly to another world. In that world, there are friends she knows and a career she loves......
Her eyes moistened suddenly.
I can't go back......
She is now Ye Qinglan, the tenth lady of Changyuan Bofu in the Western Song Dynasty, a qiē in the past, obviously so familiar, but so strange. She couldn't go back......
"Big brother, you slow down, the swing is flying too high." It was Gu Xiyu's voice.
"Aren't you happy to see Cousin Lan fly?" Gu Xinian's lazy voice sounded faintly.
Why is this sound so close? Ye Qinglan's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes anxiously. But he was facing a pair of light and breezy eyes.
