Chapter 381 The Key Is What She Thinks
He Jinglan's eyes flickered, and she asked, An Qinghe, "Weren't you with him all day long?"
"Why did Lord Jiang come here?"
An Qinghe said, "I brought him here."
Just now, Jiang Mingyuan wrote two poems during the meal and drank a few more glasses of wine.
He was feeling a little uncomfortable due to the alcohol, so he wanted to go out and find a quiet place to get some fresh air to refresh himself.
An Qinghe was familiar with the terrain of Xiaohe Mansion, so he took him behind the rockery.
It is not yet the season for lotus flowers to bloom, so few people come here specifically.
There was no one else by the lotus pond at that time, so An Qinghe found a rock for Jiang Mingyuan to sit on.
An Qinghe continued, "I saw that he was not feeling well, so I wanted to make some honey Fu tea for him to sober up."
He looked after Xixi and said, "You know, when your stomach feels uncomfortable, drinking a bowl of hot water can relieve it."
He Jinglan was helpless, "Let's get to the point. We are not discussing the tea ceremony now."
An Qinghe said, "I just pried a piece of tea cake from the house and sent it to the kitchen."
"The water hasn't even boiled yet, but I hear a commotion outside, someone falling into the water, someone going out to find a doctor."
"I heard someone mention Boss Gu. I'm so anxious now. I can't even bother to make tea. I'm running over here."
He Jinglan nodded, thoughtfully.
An Qinghe asked again with concern, "How is Brother Jiang?"
He Jinglan said, "Luckily Xixi was rescued in time, so she should be fine."
An Qinghe blamed himself, "It's all my fault. I knew he was drunk, but I still left him there alone."
"Perhaps he wanted to be cool, so he walked to the water's edge and lost his balance."
Gu Xixi comforted him and said, "We will go see him later."
An Qinghe nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for you outside."
Yuzhu Courtyard.
Gu Xixi is still taking a bath.
He Jinglan looked at the person drinking tea leisurely next to her and asked, "Why did you follow me?"
Dou Rongsan leaned back in her chair, looking as if it was a matter of course.
"I don't even want to come today, okay?"
"If you hadn't threatened me with an ultimatum, I would have been forced to sit here and drink your tea."
He Jinglan glanced sideways, "When did I ever give you an ultimatum?"
Dou Rongshan looked at her and said, "You sent out invitations to others several days ago, but you only sent me one at the end."
"It's not an ultimatum, is there anything else you mean?"
He Jinglan was at a loss for words, and she seemed to have some inclination in this direction when she posted the message.
Dou Rongshan sat up straight again, holding the teacup and said, "Aren't you just afraid that I will tell others about her relationship with my cousin?"
"I came here just to make it clear to you. I promised not to tell anyone else."
"Even if you didn't threaten me, I wouldn't tell anyone."
"Yo." He Jinglan turned to Dou Rongsan and gave a playful smile.
"How come you suddenly changed your personality? Now I see you're not as annoying as before."
Dou Rongshan snorted lightly and said proudly, "Same here."
He Jinglan stared at her for a moment and smiled sincerely, "When you've been away for three days, you should look at you with new eyes. I shouldn't have kept looking at you with the old eyes. I apologize to you."
Dou Rongshan raised her hand to stop him, "That's not necessary, I didn't suffer any loss."
"Today I drank those unique and delicious sweet soups at your house, and watched so many wonderful performances."
"It actually gave me a lot of inspiration. It was not a wasted trip."
He Jinglan frowned, having a bad feeling.
"You're not really going to write this into popular reading materials, are you?!"
Dou Rongshan gave her a look that said "don't worry", "How can you really name names when writing a story?"
"And even if you use local ingredients, you can't just use them directly. Just like there are so many ingredients in your kitchen, you have to process and cook them carefully before you can serve them on the table?"
He Jinglan was suspicious, "You really can't write it so obviously that readers can guess who it is at a glance?"
"No!" Dou Rongsan was very confident.
"At worst, I'll finish writing the first volume and show it to you first."
He Jinglan thought about it and said, "That's right, you still have to write slowly."
"After I finish writing, I submit it to a bookstore. If the bookstore doesn't like it, it won't have a chance to be published and sold."
Dou Rongshan was unhappy, "He Jinglan, I found that you haven't changed!"
"I just like to attack other people's preferences!"
He Jinglan couldn't remember how many times she had done similar things to Dou Rongsan when she was a child, which made her hold a grudge against her to this day.
I could only smile and say, "I'm not trying to discourage you. On the contrary, I want to encourage you to persevere."
"Nowadays, many scholars who have repeatedly failed the imperial examinations rely on writing textbooks to make a living."
"I went to the bookstore several times and met people who came out dejected after their manuscripts were rejected."
"But I believe you can do it! No matter how long I wait, as long as the bookstore starts selling your book, I will definitely buy it!"
Dou Rongshan glanced at He Jinglan dimly, "Really?"
He Jinglan nodded sincerely, "Really!"
Dou Rongshan curled her lips, "If it were my book, people would just not like it."
He Jinglan thought to herself, this woman is really hard to please.
But she still grinned and said, "You still have me as your reader."
"Did you forget what you just said, that you want to show it to me first?"
Dou Rongsan then smiled, but she tried her best to keep a straight face and act as if she didn't care.
"Okay, I'll try to write faster."
The two were silent for a moment, and suddenly turned to each other at the same time.
He Jinglan: "What do you think about Jiang Mingyuan falling into the water?"
Dou Rongshan: "Could it be that my cousin really pushed Lord Jiang into this?"
They both spoke at the same time and were stunned after they finished speaking.
He Jinglan had a complicated expression.
Dou Rongshan couldn't hide her excitement, "The cold-faced prince and the common girl accidentally created a marriage, and the top scholar cousin had a deep affection for his cousin."
"The overbearing prince wants to monopolize the person he loves, but the gentle champion sticks to his original intention and refuses to give in!"
"Who will win or lose in this love rivalry?"
He Jinglan held her forehead and said helplessly, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have suggested that you write a textbook."
“You should go tell stories.”
She sighed, "The key is what Xixi thinks."
It was impossible for Mu Nanzhao, who was so arrogant, to wait for him to take the initiative to clarify things for him.
Will Gu Xixi think that Mu Nanzhao intentionally hurt Jiang Mingyuan?
At this time, Gu Xixi walked in, already dressed in new clothes.
Smiling, he casually asked, "What are you guys talking about?"
He Jinglan and Dou Rongsan came to their senses and covered up their mistakes.
"She said I was suitable for storytelling."
"Yes, we were talking about the popular book she wrote."
Gu Xixi had never been very interested in popular books, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go to the front yard now?"
She asked Dou Rongshan politely, "Miss Dou, do you want to go with us?"
Dou Rongshan's eyes lit up, "Okay!"
Will the next development be "a common girl visits the number one scholar, and the prince becomes jealous"?
This opportunity is rare, don't miss it.
When going out, Gu Xixi would look at Dou Rongsan intentionally or unintentionally.
Dou Rongsan's eyes shrank and she subconsciously avoided looking at her.
He Jinglan noticed something was going on, and while Gu Xixi was talking to Guangzhu, she asked, "Are you afraid of her?"
Dou Rongshan refused to admit that she was a coward, "How could I be afraid? If I were afraid, I would have left long ago."
However, with He Jinglan's intelligence and her understanding of Gu Xixi.
After a little thought, I understood, "The daughter of a military commander is also afraid of the dead."
