235 lonely men and widows
According to his nature, it would be difficult to be honest and sleepy somewhere for a day, but now...... He can go out and wander around, but she's not around, and it's boring to go anywhere. Besides, stay here, at least it's still closer to her, maybe you can sneak to Yanran Pavilion quietly at night......
The corners of his lips were unconsciously curled, so he stared at the slanting sun excitedly, wondering why it fell so slowly?
There was a rustling sound behind him, and he turned his head......
"Xue Yan......" jumped up in surprise and grabbed the wrist of the visitor: "Why are you here?" ”
Wrong...... Although this wrist is also thin and soft, it is ......
He hurriedly let go and took a step back.
The red, red, green, and green lights and shadows flickered and finally faded away.
There was a person standing in front of him, with a light goose yellow dress, with a graceful body, who was holding a white silk fan to cover half of his face and smiling at him, his eyebrows and eyes were ......
He remembered that she was the woman at the banquet table who was very similar to Xue Yan's eyebrows.
"Brother-in-law really only thinks about his sister in his heart......" The woman took down the fan and gave a salute in a curling manner: "The little woman Qin Gulan is Mr. Qin Yi of Guan Ju Pavilion......"
Qin Gulan......
Gu Haoxuan hadn't heard of this person, but seeing that she was able to appear at the family banquet in Cheng Mansion, it was expected that she would have a background, and she was so similar to Xue Yan......
But this kind of thing is not unusual, for example......
So he smiled and said, "Good name......" and prepared to leave.
"Why didn't my brother-in-law ask Gu Lan why she wanted to marry such a name?" Qin Gulan smiled, slightly sad: "Gu Lan always thought that she was from a scholarly family, but when I was six years old, my father suddenly told me that I was not their biological child, and said that someone would take me home when I was eleven years old." When I was eleven years old, I met Cheng Shangshu and followed him to Cheng's mansion. Cheng Shangshu asked the best violinist in Dijing to teach me how to play the piano, and when I was fourteen years old, I became the piano master of Guan Juguan......"
Gu Haoxuan didn't understand why she was saying this to herself, Gu had no one left and right, she looked sad again, so she had to stand in place, but she saw that only half of her face was left on the pink wall.
"I don't know if Cheng Shangshu is the person who came to pick me up as his adoptive father said, and my adoptive father said that the person would 'take me home', but Cheng Fu ...... Is it my home? The voice choked up: "Give me food and clothing, let me be the gentleman of Guan Juguan, I am indeed better than the girls here, but...... Seeing that my sister and sister have a home, and I ......"
Gu Haoxuan smiled, it turned out that this was the case.
"Don't worry, girl, Cheng Shangshu must know in his heart, maybe he is choosing the right person for the girl......"
The corners of Qin Gulan's lips tugged: "What choice does a person like me have, at most it will be chosen......
"The girl is too pessimistic, with the girl's appearance, she will definitely find a good husband in the future......"
"Really?"
Qin Gulan looked at him with teary eyes, half happy, half sad, and the afterglow of the sunset was rubbled on his cheeks, which was extremely moving.
After looking at it like this for a long time, I don't feel very much like Xue Yan, especially her eyes, which always seem to be ......
"Nature." Gu Haoxuan avoided her gaze and pretended to look at the sky: "It's not early, the girl needs to go back quickly......"
Qin Gulan nodded: "My brother-in-law really misses my sister, which is enviable." In that case, my sister won't delay my brother-in-law......"
The two saluted each other and said goodbye.
Gu Haoxuan had just walked a few steps when he heard an exclamation from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Gulan sitting on the ground, covering his ankles with his hands, and inhaling the cold air with his mouth crooked.
He rushed over: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's all it!" Qin Gulan angrily hit the stone that caused trouble, but he was slammed and let out a cry of pain.
Gu Haoxuan couldn't help but laugh: "Let's see if you can still walk?" ”
Qin Gulan gritted her teeth and supported Taihu Stone and slowly stood up, but her body leaned with an "oops".
Gu Haoxuan unconsciously caught her, quickly let go, and looked around: "You sit here first, I'll find someone to ......"
"Brother-in-law......"
Qin Gulan's soft call came from behind her, and she looked at herself with tears in her eyes: "It's getting dark, I'm here alone...... I'm afraid ......"
The sky is indeed dark, the garden is surrounded by bamboo trees, lush and lush, the day looks pleasing to the eye, but now it is very eerie, she is a woman......
"Where do you live?"
He seemed to see Qin Gulan's eyes light up, but maybe it was an illusion caused by tears.

Qitong knew that Cheng Xueyan was back today, and she prepared mung bean cake early.
This is not an ordinary mung bean cake, it was newly learned by her and Mama Tang, not only to relieve the heat and cool down, but also sweet and delicious, and not like ordinary bean cake choking on the throat. When the eldest girl returned to the door, she had nothing to give, only this thought, and she knew that the eldest girl would not blame.
Now that he was free, he took a small porcelain plate and put a few pieces on it and came to Yanran Pavilion.
Originally, the back kitchen didn't need to go through Xinyuan to Yanran Pavilion, but when I heard that the eldest girl was found by the eldest * grandmother to talk, and she couldn't leave the back kitchen for too long, she came to this must-go place to wait for Cheng Xueyan to return to Yanran Pavilion from Moyi Residence.
As soon as she entered the garden, she saw two people talking on the shore of the Taihu Lake in front of her, one of them was Miss Qin, and the other voice was very unfamiliar, but it was a man. Miss Qin called him "brother-in-law...... She thought about it, could it be that this is the new aunt? But how could the new aunt be with Miss Qin?
She paid attention and prepared to hide behind a tree and eavesdrop, but she noticed that there was no movement, and she showed up...... Did the new aunt leave "on his back" Miss Qin?
The heart sank, this thing ...... Do you want to talk to the big girl?
She was hesitating, and she was slapped on the shoulder.
She exclaimed "ah", and looked back to see Bitong.
"What, are you overjoyed to see me?" Bi Tong squeezed her eyebrows mischievously.
Qitong stroked his chest in shock: "Scared me to death, I thought it was ......"
Qitong swallowed Fu Yuanshan's name, raised her eyes and saw Cheng Xueyan looking at her with a smile, busy about to give a salute, but was still stopped, and then found that the mung bean cake she had worked so hard to make had rolled on the ground and turned into potato cake due to the fright just now, and she was immediately angry: "Look at the good things you did!" Big girl, or I'll ......."
"No need," Cheng Xueyan stopped her: "It's the same tomorrow, anyway, I'm going to stay for a month, and I have time ......."
Qitong suddenly remembered what she had just seen, but was interrupted by her: "Come and sit in Yanran Pavilion, I still have something to discuss with you......"
————————————————————
"Ah, big girl, I ......"
"You are thin, and the work in the kitchen is tiring, so you don't have to go back to the house with me. Your needlework is the best, if you are around, Bitong can also be lazy, right? ”
"Girl, is this disgusting me?" Bi Tong deliberately pretended not to be happy.
Qitong looked at the master and servant with tears in her eyes, and suddenly knelt down: "The girl's great kindness, Qitong will never forget!" ”
Cheng Xueyan still couldn't stand this kind of gift, and hurriedly helped her up.
"What great kindness? You're doing me a favor......"
"Qitong understands, Qitong understands everything in her heart......" Qitong wiped her tears and raised her eyes: "But Qitong...... I don't want to go with the big girl......"
"Qitong, you can't be talking stupidly, are you? Follow the big girl, you are still a first-class girl, not only do you not have to be bullied by those mothers-in-law with them, but the monthly rate can also be doubled several times......"
"Do you have any concerns? Actually, I wanted to take you away long ago, and if you agree, I'll transfer you here first, and then ......."
Qitong shook her head desperately, and Bitong was anxious, but she couldn't ask why.
Cheng Xueyan understood a little, but it was because of one person...... Although he knew that he was no longer possible with that person, he still kept it obsessively, as if only in this way could he feel his existence more truly, as if this became the whole meaning of life, even if there was no day to meet, as long as he knew that he was by his side, it was enough. In the end, she is no longer guarding a person, but her own heart.
She sighed and motioned for Bi Tong to stop asking.
Qitong glanced at her with teary eyes, and suddenly realized that there was only one eldest girl who understood her best, and she was immediately moved, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Qitong has a word, I don't know if to say it or not?" ”
"What other bad words are there between you and me? Get up and talk......"
"Qitong just saw ...... Uncle and Miss Qin in the garden......"
The master and servant were both stunned, Bi Tong hurriedly looked at Cheng Xueyan, but saw that her face was slightly pale and her red lips were pursed.
"But Qitong didn't see it clearly, it was so dark, and the distance was far away......"
Seeing this, Qitong hurriedly stopped, but she forgot, there is a saying called "the more you describe, the darker it becomes", but she felt that she was not very impulsive, if she told the eldest girl that the new aunt was carrying Miss Qin on her back, then ......
"Oh, Xu is really wrong, the new aunt went to rest after the banquet......" Cheng Xueyan said with a smile, but her tone was dry.
The next conversation was also absent-minded, Qitong naturally felt it, and only hated herself for talking too much, so she left after a while.
The room was quiet, as if you could hear the candlelight flickering.
Cheng Xueyan stared at the swaying light and shadow for a long time, and said quietly: "I've been busy all afternoon, and I don't know where he stays......
Bi Tong is a shrewd person, and immediately continued: "I'll go and take a look, and ask the master if there is anything else he needs." ”
He didn't have to wait for his master's answer, and he hurried out.
Cheng Xueyan continued to stare at the candle shadow......
Gu Haoxuan and Qin Gulan......
She couldn't figure out how they had come across one place. Xinyuan ...... What a great place!
A sneer woke her up, and she even wondered if it was her own.
In fact, what does it matter if you encounter it or not? It's just talking, the world is so big, how can there be no chance encounters? It was nothing more than the tone in which Qitong mentioned this...... Or maybe it's because she just mentioned it, but maybe she really read it wrong.
comforted himself like this, and let out a sigh, but there was no ease in his heart.
