Chapter 162 Young Master Gu, Miss Xie

Xie Heng was drinking tea in the front yard, when he saw Zhao Qingqing and Xie Shuang coming hand in hand, Yun Xi followed behind with lowered eyes.

He went up to meet him, smiled and said a few words to Zhao Qingqing, ignoring Xie Shuang who was on the side. She pretended to be annoyed, "Big brother really doesn't look down on anyone except his future sister-in-law. Forget it, I'm not here either." It’s obstructing my elder brother’s eyes here, so that my elder brother won’t be annoyed that I can’t see.”

With that said, he led Yunxi Shiran back.

Yunxi did her duty as a maid from the beginning to the end, her eyes were downcast and she didn't look up at all.

Seeing their figures disappear in the corridor, Zhao Qingqing blushed and gently reproached Heng, "It's all your fault, Sister Shuang must be laughing at me right now."

He smiled and said softly: "Can't Qingqing see that my sister is deliberately leaving us alone to talk!"

In a word, the blush on the girl's cheeks was even worse, and she looked up at him shyly with a graceful head.

Because Yunxi was in Xie's residence, Zhao Qingqing came and went more frequently, often bringing Bai Zhi to sit in Xie Shuang's courtyard.

When Bai Zhi saw Yun Xi, she was also very kind. She saw Yun Xi's portrait under the yamen bulletin that day, but she was so angry that she just glanced at it casually. She didn't see it clearly, but she didn't recognize it.

Sometimes Xie Shuang would take Yunxi to Changning Hou Mansion as a guest.

Zhao Qingqing and Xie Heng's marriage is getting closer, and the exquisite golden silk phoenix wedding dress is on the table.

When Xie Shuang came and saw it, her eyes were filled with amazement, "It's so beautiful!"

She caressed the intricate and delicate embroidery on it, and couldn't help being envious, "It's so beautiful. My sister-in-law wore such a beautiful wedding dress to marry my eldest brother that day, and my eldest brother must not be able to move his eyes away."

Zhao Qingqing smiled shyly at the brows of her eyes, and recalled the matter that the young master of the Gu family also returned to Beijing a few days ago, and said to her: "Why should my sister envy me? Then the young master of the Gu family has already returned to Beijing, so the marriage between my sister and him must be the same." It's almost here. It's better to make plans early and embroider the wedding dress as soon as possible."

Xie Shuang lowered her face when she heard the words, and muttered in a low voice, "What kind of wedding dress is embroidered, no one even saw it."

It was also on this day that Xie Shuang brought Yun Xi back from the Marquis of Changning, and happened to meet Gu Junyan who followed his father to deliver a greeting card to Xie's mansion.

Looking through the landscape screen, Xie Shuang lowered her eyes with a blushing face, secretly tugged on Yunxi's sleeve, and whispered: "So it's really as beautiful as the painting."

Naturally it is good-looking, otherwise Qingyin Luosu would stare at him eagerly.

Yun Xi thought so in her heart, but only teased her, "Okay, now sister's heart is at ease?"

Xie Shuang squeezed her hand secretly, silently listening to what was said outside the screen.

Gu Junyan came to Xie's mansion with his father to discuss the marriage with Xie Shuang this time. Since he returned to Beijing, this matter should also be brought up.

Fortunately, the two families know the basics, and they have already made preparations. They will make a decision and find an auspicious day to come and hire.

It's just that before the engagement, the two juniors still need to meet.

So Xie Shuang came out from behind the screen timidly. The carefree girl in the past is also shy when she sees the person she likes. She lowered her eyes and bowed softly, "Young Master Gu."

Gu Junyan also returned the gift, "Thank you, Miss."

When she raised her eyes, she saw the servant girl following Xie Shuang. Although she lowered her head, she could recognize her at a glance with her good features.

When he was going out, he looked back and gave Yunxi a very meaningful look.
