Chapter 41 Brother Ci is shy
As soon as Nian Xi and Gu Ci's carriage drove out, the second carriage drove out from the Wen Mansion.
Wen Qingheng didn't want to go. "Isn't it strange for two men to visit the West Market Lantern Festival together?"
Qin Lang obviously had his own ideas. "Are you comfortable with your sister playing with Gu Ci? After all, you are her brother, so please be more careful."
Wen Qingheng was speechless, and went out several times out of worry.
Even his parents tacitly agreed to it, so how could he, as an older brother, control his sister who was obsessed with beauty!
Moreover, he looked at it coldly, thinking that Gu Ci was sincere to Nian'er. He came to his house every day, more actively than going to court, and he wanted to show his whole heart to his sister, and the whole mansion could see it.
As a result, his mother often urged him to meet her as soon as possible, get engaged, and not delay his sister's marriage.
"Where's Shi Zhang? Didn't they say he was coming too?" Wen Qingheng asked, "Although I was drunk that day, I still vaguely remember hearing your discussion."
"How are Shi Zhang and the girl with the earring doing now? Has he gotten what he wanted? By the way, who is that girl?"
His series of questions made Qin Lang feel overwhelmed.
I could only be vague and say, "You ask me, how would I know his private affairs? Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go to see the lights later, let's go with my sister."
Wen Qingheng was moved when he heard him mention his sister again and again, and said thoughtfully, "Why do you want to be with Nian'er? Qingye must not like us disturbing him."
Qin Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead. What should he do if Pei Jian was afraid that he would lose face and the situation would get out of control and a fight would break out?
“It’s very crowded and lively.”
Qin Lang opened the car curtain and looked at the busy street. He didn't notice Wen Qingheng's cold expression and continued, "Weren't you annoyed that Qingye was getting close to your sister before? Today, you should show your brotherly attitude and make them restrain themselves."
But don't provoke someone to go crazy on the spot.
After that day, Qin Lang thought about it and felt that he had a responsibility in this matter and could not let Pei Jian do whatever he wanted. But he thought it was difficult to restrain Pei Jian, so he asked Wen Qingheng, his brother, to take the position.
No matter what, having him and Wen Qingheng around is better than facing Gu Ci and Pei Jian head-on.
"Qingye is in Xinghe Building. We will go find him directly later."
"I'm not going!" Wen Qingheng's face was completely cold at this point, and he said in a cold voice, "You are not allowed to go either!"
Qin Lang: ...
Wen Qingheng rarely had such a cold expression on his face, and Qin Lang suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Why? Shi Zhang will be here soon, didn't we agree on this?"
Wen Qingheng snorted coldly upon hearing this, "Put away your dirty thoughts!"
"For the sake of our friendship, I will keep this a secret for you and not tell Qingye about it. From now on, don't show up in front of my sister."
"Who are you talking about?" Qin Lang pointed at the tip of his nose, incredulous, "Me?"
Wen Qingheng thought Qin Lang was just possessed by a ghost, and advised him, "There are many people who admire my sister since childhood, and there are many who are better than you. It's not surprising that you have such thoughts. Although Qingye has flaws, at least he is an honest gentleman. Putting everything aside, my sister likes handsome men. You...will not get any results."
In conclusion, you are too ugly, my sister doesn't like you, so give up your idiotic heart!
Qin Lang: ...
Good, good, a world where only he is hurt has been achieved.
"Jinghe, I have absolutely no such intention towards your sister, please believe me..."
…
Nian Xi and Gu Ci were completely unaware of the chaos in the carriage behind.
The two of them happily entered the restaurant. Gu Ci ordered her some drinks and steamed buns, then left for a while. When he came back, he was holding two Mohele dolls in his hands.
One has delicate features, the other has red lips and white teeth.
The golden and pearly dress decorated with gold, pearls and jade is bright in color, lifelike and very lovely.
It was a pair of Mohele dolls sold by Pan Lou.
Gu Ci said softly, "When we get back later, we'll place these two clay dolls on the Qiqiao Pavilion. It's a big festival, and it's in keeping with the occasion."
Nianxi took the two Mohelos and felt a wave of wonder in her heart. All the regrets she had expressed and not expressed were made up for by Gu Ci one by one, which was beyond her expectations.
It gave her a sense of unreal perfection, like a beautiful dream.
She held the two Mojos in her arms and looked up at him, "Why are you so nice?"
Gu Ci laughed and pointed at the base of the doll, saying, "It's not that good actually. When I was carving the characters just now, the 'Xi' in your name got crooked."
Nian Xi was startled and turned over the Mohelo to take a look. On the bottom of the girl doll, "Qingqing Nian Xi" was engraved, while on the bottom of the boy doll, "Gu Liu Ge" was engraved.
If you look closely, you will find that the last stroke of the character “兮” is indeed a bit crooked.
Nian Xi found it a little funny, and the sadness in her eyes slowly faded away. She raised her head and asked, "Brother Gu Liu," "Why not Brother Ci?"
These past few days, I don't know what's wrong with Gu Ci, he insists on calling Nian Xi brother. Neither Gu Liu Ge nor Gu Ge Ge will work, he has to call him Brother Ci.
Of course Nian Xi couldn't say it out loud.
But Gu Ci had thousands of ways to get her to speak.
Nian Xi was so annoyed that she had to obey him. However, she called him "Brother Ci" in a gentle and soft voice, which made Gu Ci blush on the spot.
Now the situation can be reversed.
Nian Xi would tease him by calling him "Brother Ci" from time to time, and no matter how many times, he would always look uncomfortable.
Hearing Nianxi teasing him again, Gu Ci felt helpless and amused. This was really like shooting himself in the foot. Every time he heard that soft and tender voice of "Brother Ci", even though he knew she was teasing him, he would still feel numb all over.
"It's not good for others to see."
Gu Ci originally wanted to carve "Brother Ci" on the male clay doll, but this pair of Mohelos had to be placed on the pavilion in the courtyard of the Wen Mansion, and it would be bad if they were seen by others.
Nian Xi smiled and tapped his nose from a distance, "Brother Ci is shy~"
"Stop making trouble." Gu Ci felt hot all over because of her shouting. Considering the crowd, he could only hold her hand and asked softly, "If you make trouble again, there will be no more lactose Zhenxue to eat."
Nianxi is not afraid of him, "Brother Gu Ci has such a cruel heart~"
Just then, Wen Qingheng and Qin Lang pushed the door open, and both heard Nian Xi's coquettish words.
All four of them were silent.
I still tried to break the awkwardness by saying, "Jinghe, are you guys here to see the lanterns too?"
Gu Ci asked this question to Wen Qingheng, but his eyes were looking at Qin Lang.
Qin Lang also knew that he was being tactless and annoying at the moment.
But what bad intentions could he have?
It's all for my brothers!
I could only bite the bullet and laugh, "Yes! We also want to join in the fun. But the seats downstairs are all full, so we can only come here to make noise. Qingye, you don't mind, right?"
Gu Ci was very gracious, "It just so happens that I ordered more dishes, it's just right for us to eat together."
With Wen Qingheng around, Gu Ci felt relieved and said to the two of them, "You guys take a seat first. I'll go downstairs to buy some cold food."
He did not bring any servants with him today, and when it came to Nian Xi, he preferred to do things himself.
"Besides lactose real snow, what else do you want?" Facing Nian Xi, Gu Ci used a completely different gentle tone, "I bought them all."
"There are too many people today. Forget it, let's not go." Nian Xi pointed at the lychee thirst quencher on the table, "I'm fine drinking this."
Gu Ci insisted, "The cold food shop is very close, not far away."
"Then I'll go with you?"
"No, it's too hot. I'll be right back."
Wen Qingheng and Qin Lang drank the tea on the table in silence.
At this moment, I feel more and more that I am redundant.
