Outside the Canglang Pavilion, Meng Muxin had been waiting in the carriage for a long time.
In the past three months, the contact between her and Gu Qingyin has been extremely frequent. After all, being under the same roof, coupled with the unexplainable transactions and cooperation between them, made the two feel a little sympathetic to each other.
Going straight into the carriage, Gu Qingyin frowned and said: "Why are you so unselfish, you are pregnant, why did you wait here in person for so long in a snowy day?"
Meng Mu tightened his grip on the clothes on his body, but his eyes still stayed on Gu Qingyin's red and swollen lips, and he smiled meaningfully: "Fortunately, I only waited for half a day, not too long, I thought I had to We'll have to wait until next year."
After noticing Meng Muxin's gaze, Gu Qingyin couldn't help but blushed. She licked her lips in embarrassment, turned her head away and coughed dryly: "Sorry, there are some private matters, so we will be delayed."
"It's okay, it's just waiting for you for a while, and it's not a big deal."
Knowing that Gu Qingyin was not as thin-skinned as Zhong Shujin, Meng Muxin didn't bother to tease her any more, and directly ordered the coachman to set off back to Qingyangmen, so she told Gu Qingyin: "I have to worship the ancestors before evening, but I can't find them in the morning." The old lady is already not very satisfied with your silhouette. If you don't go back, she will be angry. Today is New Year's Eve, and you just came home this year, so it's better not to provoke her on such a big day. After you go back, remember to find an excuse to prevaricate, but don't let her know that you are here to meet someone privately."
Cough cough, what is a private meeting with someone...
It was only a moment of embarrassment, and Gu Qingyin sneered and said: "Worshiping ancestors? But the He family's ancestral hall doesn't even have my parents' spiritual seats, so what else can I sacrifice?"
Although others don't know what happened to Gu Qingyin in the past three months, Meng Muxin knows it. Unlike the rumors that those people saw on the surface, Meng Muxin knew how hard Gu Qingyin had been through these days.
Although no one could bully Gu Qingyin, but in this huge Qingyangmen, those real relatives only regarded her as an outsider, and no one would be happy.
"Oh." Meng Muxin sighed slightly, and comforted her: "Perhaps, you can talk to the old lady in private, after all, she is your real grandmother. Although she is usually quite strong, it is not difficult to see that she is right She was always different when you were with me. But why did she treat your parents like this... "
"No need."
Before Meng Muxin could finish speaking, Gu Qingyin interrupted. She lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the red lanterns hanging in front of the houses along the road, and showed a cold and inappropriate smile.
"Anyway, all of this is coming to an end."
To bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, every household is hung with festive red, full of joy.
Qingyangmen was no exception, everyone had smiles on their faces.
It's a pity that Gu Qingyin's indifference seemed incompatible with the festivities around her.
Meng Mu had guessed well, the old lady was really dissatisfied with Gu Qingyin's behavior of not returning all night. However, because of the many people around her, she didn't say anything about Gu Qingyin in front of He Zhengde and those elders.
Today's ancestor worship, all members of the He clan were present, even He Zhengde, who was sick in bed, also came out. Apart from looking a little more haggard than usual, there is nothing unusual about it.
Gu Qingyin's return home is no longer a secret in this clan. The He clan is all headed by Qingyangmen, and Qingyangmen didn't keep Gu Qingyin out, so how dare these offshoots make more troubles
Perhaps Gu Qingyin was in a pretty good mood today, and she didn't cause any trouble for He Zhengde on this occasion. She followed the elders of the clan to complete the words and sacrifices to the ancestors, and she was truly included. He's family tree.
Such a matter was originally a major event in the clan, but Gu Qingyin did not pay too much attention to it.
After absent-mindedly finishing the New Year's Eve dinner with the big family, and rejecting He Ziqi's naive idea of inviting her to set off fireworks with her brothers and sisters, Gu Qingyin left the venue first and returned to her residence alone.
"gone?"
Listening to the servant's report, the old lady couldn't help but frowned.
She squeezed the specially prepared red paper bag in her hand, remained silent for a long time, and hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to put down the gift that had been prepared for a long time, glanced at the noisy lobby, and sighed: "Forget it, we Go back too."
On New Year's Eve, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers can be heard all over the city.
Gu Qingyin was the only one in the huge bathing pool.
The smog was lingering, and the hot air lingering around Gu Qingyin had shielded her from the severe cold outside. The petals luxuriously covered the entire pool. Although Gu Qingyin's expression was the same as usual while soaking in the water, her thoughts But I don't know where it went.
It wasn't until the knock on the door that she turned her stiff neck and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"
"Miss, the Young Madam has brought you a late-night snack, and has been waiting in your room for a long time. I haven't seen you coming back for a long time, so I sent my slaves to ask."
Gu Qingyin raised her arm, smelled the fairly satisfying fragrance on her body, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and said, "Got it, this is it."
Unexpectedly, it was just a simple bath, and she could toss it for more than an hour.
After putting on her pajamas, she casually put on a coat, and covered her head with the fox fur that Zhong Shujin gave her today, before she opened the door and went back to her room.
The place where she lives now is no longer the guest residence that was randomly arranged at the beginning. It is said that this is where her parents lived at the beginning, and I don't know what those people are thinking to arrange her to live here.
When they returned to the room, the ground dragon was burning in the room, but Meng Muxin was just sitting quietly at the table drinking tea, except for the personal maid Ke'er standing beside her, there were only two maids serving in the courtyard Standing behind and waiting.
She didn't know why Meng Muxin came here to give her supper on a whim in the middle of the night, so she took the lead and asked, "Why didn't you go with them to set off the fireworks, instead came here to give me supper?" ?”
"Seeing that you're absent-minded tonight and haven't eaten much, I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I've come here to bring you a late-night snack."
"Thank you very much."
While speaking, Gu Qingyin had already taken off the fox fur on her body, folded it neatly and carefully, and then walked in the direction of Meng Muxin.
"But I'm not very hungry. It's so late, why don't you go back and rest?"
Drive people away so quickly? Is there such an unkind person
Seeing her like this, Ke'er, who was standing beside Meng Muxin, actually lowered her head, pursed her lips and suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth.
Meng Muxin smiled helplessly, waved away the two maids behind her, pointed to the longan and red date soup on the table, and said with a light smile: "It's just a cup of soup, drink some tonic, lest you tonight will be hungry."
Although I don't know why Meng Muxin became so persistent all of a sudden, but this kindness is hard to shake, Gu Qingyin just raised her eyebrows, then sat down on her seat, picked up the soup that had been warm for a long time, lifted the lid and blew. .
During this process, Meng Muxin followed the eyes of the person behind him to look at Gu Qingyin's exquisite face, messy hair, smooth neck, and the faintly exposed collarbone with great interest.
Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that I didn't see the picture of a beauty coming out of the bath just now, this faint style is indeed very attractive.
No wonder the man behind him stared straight at him.
After feeling the coolness suddenly rising from behind, Meng Muxin shyly closed her eyes and glanced back quietly.
Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw the movement of the person behind her, and she saw that the person was stretching out her two fingers, the index finger and middle finger poked at one of her eyes, and bared viciously. Baring his teeth, he gave her a vicious look, using this gesture to hint at a warning.
According to Meng Muxin's understanding of her over the years, she already understood what this person wanted to say.
"Look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs if you look again!"
If he could speak, this must be what the child wanted to say.
Knowing that she dared not speak now, Meng Muxin was not afraid, she turned her head back holding back a smile, and continued to watch Gu Qingyin's movements.
Fortunately, Gu Qingyin had been concentrating on blowing the soup just now, so she didn't notice the small movements between them.
After the soup cooled down a bit, Gu Qingyin put it to her mouth and took a sip.
After just one bite, her brows were deeply wrinkled.
"What's the smell, why is it so strange."
Hearing this, the smile on the mouth of the person behind Meng Muxin froze instantly.
"Cough cough." Meng Muxin coughed dryly, tried her best to hold back a smile and said, "Isn't it delicious? Maybe the first sip tastes a bit strange, why don't you try two more sips."
After tasting two more mouthfuls, Gu Qingyin's brows frowned even deeper.
"It's too bad to drink. Whether it's sweet or not, which cook made it, you can quit next time."
Hearing her evaluation, Meng Muxin didn't say anything, but "Ke'er" behind Meng Muxin had already lost his face.
Really, didn't Sanniang say that it's already delicious, and she also thinks it's okay...
When did Qingqing become so picky...
Xu was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to help laughing, and before Gu Qingyin finished drinking, Meng Muxin got up and said, "Ah, I suddenly remembered that there are still things I haven't brought to you. But, you first Stay here to wait for the lady to have a midnight snack, and I will come back as soon as I go."
With Meng Mu in mind, Gu Qingyin was still willing to perfunctory a few times. But when Meng Muxin left like this, Gu Qingyin was too lazy to perfunctory. Regardless of the "Ke'er" who was standing upright, Gu Qingyin put down the unpalatable red dates and longan soup, got up and took a book and leaned on it casually. On the soft couch, I started to read.
Although she was flipping through the books, Gu Qingyin's eyes frequently looked at the door and the windows.
Seeing her so absent-minded, "Ke'er" looked a little better.
"Miss, who are you waiting for?"
Gu Qingyin's fingers froze, she stopped turning the pages of the book, looked up at "Ke'er" indifferently, and asked coldly, "When will your young lady come back?"
"Ke'er" continued to suppress his voice, "Maybe it's almost here."
Gu Qingyin's mood would not be too beautiful if she couldn't wait for the person she wanted to see.
"I'm a little sleepy, and I don't want to wait any longer. You can go back too, and tell her that you have something to give me tomorrow."
It stands to reason that she has already issued an order to evict guests, and normal maids would obediently leave.
Unexpectedly, this "Ke'er" not only refused to listen, but also arrogantly raised his chin at her, and walked towards her, smiling meaningfully: "Young Madam asked the servant to stay and take good care of her." 'You, servant girl, naturally have to be obedient."
