Value peace

Chapter 136 Spring Blossoms ([-])

Gu Xiyan was completely speechless.

She looked at the direction where Mrs. Wei lived with admiration, and murmured: "It's true that mother and son are both geniuses... One link after another, no matter whether the little Da Cui has tampered with it or not, everyone will think of it now." Mrs. Xu is really unlucky, how did she run into this mother and son, people were caught off guard and had to be beaten passively..."

Seeing that the corners of her mouth fluttered slightly as if chanting a mantra, Liu Meier said, "Sister Gu, you, what are you talking about?"

Gu Xiyan came back to her senses, she took Liu Meier's hand: "Sister Liu, you have to think clearly. Marriage is a woman's second life, don't be confused, you must figure it out. Who can marry, otherwise, this life will be over. Think about it, we should live to at least seven or eighty years old..."

"Sister Gu," Liu Meier interrupted Gu Xiyan's words, "How can anyone live to such an old age? I just hope that I can be satisfied with my [-]th birthday with all my children and grandchildren..."

Yes, productivity in ancient times was low, and people’s life spans were generally short... It wasn’t about discussing with Liu Meier how long a person could live. What I mean is, you will spend four to fifty years with that man in the future, and if you don’t see it clearly, you can’t get a divorce, well, it’s a divorce, and you have to suffer..."

Liu Meier could feel Gu Xiyan's worry, she was very moved, she smiled at Gu Xiyan as if to comfort her, and was about to say something, when she heard a crackling sound coming from the room where Mrs. Wei lived , as if smashing something.

Could it be that Maosheng and Mrs. Wei started fighting because of disagreement.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly climbed to the window and opened the curtains to look out, just in time to see the corner of Qi Maosheng's clothes disappearing behind the shadow of Huaiyuan's wall.

Madam Wei's angry voice came from the brightly lit room: "Am I raising a son? Is it a son? That's a tiger cub, a white-eyed wolf... woo..." It seemed that someone was covering Madam Wei's face. mouth, and then only a few low murmurs could be heard occasionally.

Spring in Xizhao [-] came earlier than in previous years, and spring began on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Qi Yuzhi, the nephew of Qi Hao, Duke of Yan, and now the supreme leader of Yandi's administrative affairs, appeared in people's field of vision. He was handsome in appearance, calm in temperament, and modest in attitude. He is not only proficient in etiquette, but also elegant in manner and elegant in temperament, which has won unanimous praise from all walks of life in Yandi.On the way back to Duke Yan's mansion, there was even an episode where a little girl threw willow branches at him.

His personal servant, Mingcha, silently followed the guards of Duke Yan's mansion, watching Qi Yuzhi's heroic posture on his horse, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Does anyone know how much the young master paid to be able to stand here!

On the early morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Wei Lingyun, the uncle of the Wei Mansion, arrived at the Qi Mansion. Without saying a word, he knelt straight at the gate of the Qi Mansion, ignoring anyone who said it, and only shouted: " The family is unlucky, please look at the hard work of the Wei family for the Duke's mansion all these years, throwing out the body of the niece, so that I can give an explanation to the dead brother!" Then on the bluestone steps of the Wei mansion, "Boom "Dong Dong" kowtowed his head, no one could support him, blood began to ooze from his forehead after a while.

The gate of Duke Yan's mansion is dignified and dignified, there are few people walking around, and it is early in the morning, even if it is like this, it can't stop people's curiosity, and people gather in twos and threes to watch the excitement.

Mrs. Xu couldn't help it, so she asked a sedan chair to invite the old lady who lived in Xiangfeng Hutong.

She is the concubine wife of Qi Hao's great-granduncle, and also the oldest living concubine wife of the Qi family. She was born in the Liu family in Nanxi, Ningzhou, Guannei County, and lived next to the Wei family in Dongxi. One of two sworn brothers.With the passage of time, the Liu family has long been different from what it is today, and compared with the Cui family, it has lost its former prominence.Even so, the Liu family is still one of the noble families in the eyes of Yandi people.And there are only a few families that can be counted in the entire Yandi. They have intermarried with each other for hundreds of years. When it comes to seriousness, everyone is related to each other.

As soon as she entered the door, she said bluntly: "Zheng Rong, after so many years, I know your knot. We are not outsiders, so if you have anything, just tell me!"

Mrs. Wei was wearing a bright red jacket with flowers and butterflies, and her crow's black hair was tied up in a high bun with a yellow camellia flower inserted into it. Lady Ming was sitting cross-legged on the big kang when she saw the old matriarch come in. , Not even eyelids.

Madam Liu, who was sitting on the edge of the kang and talking to her sister, stood up in embarrassment, and told Liu Meier and Gu Xiyan who were standing beside her, "Pour tea for Madam Tai!" The old lady sat on the kang.

Bao Niang had already brought tea in, Gu Xiyan stepped forward to take the tray, and Liu Meier passed the tea over.

The old matriarch sat down and took the teacup. Mrs. Wei waited for her to take a sip of tea, then raised her hand carelessly and gently stroked her temples, and said slowly: "What did the old matriarch say? How did I hear it?" I do not know!"

The old matriarch was not annoyed when she saw this, instead she took Mrs. Wei's hand with a smile: "You child, the disadvantage is that you have a too hard temper. When is it now, you still have such a petty temper. Although Ling Yun is an heir Your family has inherited the family business, but you have worked hard for more than forty years and dare not be negligent. Now that this happened, where do you let him put his face? How do you let him face the uncles and brothers of the Wei family in the future? Liwei. Don't forget that you were the one who decided the patriarch at the beginning. Listen to my persuasion, and I will soon send someone to help the uncle up." As he spoke, his eyes turned to Mrs. Liu who was standing in front of the kang. "I heard that the old lady of Cui Mansion came to ask for marriage in person, what do you think?"

Mrs. Liu's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Mrs. Wei's. They are both beauties selected in thousands of miles. However, Mrs. Liu's eyes are gentle and graceful, her mannerisms are more reserved, and she looks older than Mrs. Wei in appearance. Sitting next to Mrs. Wei, It is completely like the red green leaves.

When she heard the old lady mention it, she respectfully replied: "My sister is talking to me."

Liu Meier blushed beside her.

The old matriarch glanced shrewdly at Liu Meier and Gu Xiyan, pointed to the two standing on the edge of the kang and said to Mrs. Wei: "Look at these two little girls, they are all first-class in appearance and stature. After living such an old age, you can only compare it when you were young. Don’t you just think about the one lying on the bed and not the one lying in front of you?”

No wonder Mrs. Xu invited this old lady to be a lobbyist, she is really eloquent!
Gu Xiyan couldn't help showing admiration.

"Seeing that the Cui family is about to discuss marriage, at this moment, people can't wait to cover it tightly. You are so good, you are afraid that people will not know, and you will spread it everywhere...The Cui family is Zhongshi. Ding Xingwang, Ding Ming, brothers and sisters have to write a long list to check in and get confused, and you still think their family members don't talk too much!"

Mrs. Liu looked at her sister with a look of anger.

Mrs. Wei sat up straight as if she was also moved by what the old matriarch said, and said, "Bao Niang, serve the old matriarch some snacks!"

When the old lady heard it, she laughed.

"You girl, you are not young anymore, you are still a child with a temper, you should restrain yourself!"

Bao Niang is busy serving snacks.

The old matriarch seemed to be thirsty, picked up the tea and took another sip, said with a smile: "This time Yuzhi did something wrong, you are also from the grandmother's generation, so don't bother with the younger generation."

Mrs. Wei curled her lips, showing disapproval.

The old matriarch took Madam Wei's hand affectionately, looked at Madam Wei with doting eyes like a child, and said in a low voice: "I know, you are not that cruel person, did this really happen? I have found a way. Let me tell you an idea, do you think it will work?"

Mrs. Wei just stared down at her red-painted nails, without saying a word.

Mrs. Liu said from the side: "My sister has such a temper. You are an elder. Watching us grow up, please forgive us for everything."

There was a smile in the old lady's eyes.

"Miss Wei, I'll make the decision for you. When Yuzhi gets married, I will immediately raise her to be my aunt, and I will never wrong her. What do you think?"

Madam Wei raised her hand expressionlessly and looked at her own hand carefully against the light outside the window.

The bright morning light shone on her hands, the knuckles were as white as cream, and as red as the nails on the top of a crane.

Gu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat.

Mrs. Wei's 15-year-old Qi Maosheng is also 42 or three this year.But her hands are still as soft and elastic as a young man, full of vitality.

She thought of those movie superstars, no matter how well they took care of themselves, their necks and hands would be exposed.

Mrs. Wei's ability to maintain such an image has something to do with her kung fu practice?
Gu Xiyan looked at Mrs. Wei's eyes and couldn't help showing a bit of inquiry.

Mrs. Liu seemed to be a little annoyed and called out "sister".

As soon as Mrs. Wei turned her head, her eyes met with Gu Xiyan's.

Her eyes were full of provocative light.

"It's still the old lady who is considerate. In this case, I still have one thing on my mind, so I might as well entrust you, old man."

The old matriarch was startled when he heard that, a look of wariness flashed across his face, and he said with a smile: "Since you entrusted me, I will do my best to help you do it!"

Madam Wei suddenly grabbed Gu Xiyan's hand.

Gu Xiyan was taken by Mrs. Wei's strength, and her upper body prostrated on the kang.

"Old Madam, you have seen a lot. Since you said that my niece is first-class in appearance and figure, I want to keep her in our house. Look, how about it?"

In winter, there are a few glistening beads of sweat on the old lady's forehead.

* * * * * *
Mrs. Xu's teacup slammed heavily on the black lacquered kang table inlaid with mother-of-pearl flowers and birds.

The old lady sighed.

"Grandniece and daughter-in-law, time waits for no one, you should make plans early."

Mrs. Xu's face was gloomy, there were hurried footsteps outside, and Nanny Yi lifted the curtain to enter: "Madam, Erping just went to Dongzi Pavilion."

Dongzi Pavilion is Qi Yuzhi's residence in Xianji courtyard.

Mrs. Xu and the old lady could not help but look at each other.
