Value peace

Chapter 156

Gu Xiyan originally wanted to arrange Duanniang and Mo Ju to live in Duan Yingluo's house, but Zhao Mama heard that Duanniang was Gu Xiyan's wet nurse, so she graciously wanted to vacate the room for herself and Duan Yingluo squeezed together to live together.When Gu Xiyan thought of Duan Yingluo's true identity, she naturally would not agree. In the final compromise, Duanniang and Zhao Nai lived in the same room. They were of the same age and had a chatter; Keeping Yingluo's real identity a secret and being able to take care of Duan Yingluo in daily life is really killing two birds with one stone.

After placing the two of them, Gu Xiyan turned around and went to Xiao Aoxuan.

Siping saw Gu Xiyan coming from a distance, hurriedly went up to say hello, and found that there was no one serving Gu Xiyan, he was secretly startled, and said with a smile: "Madam, you are..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "I have something to see my master, please pass it on for me!" Her tone was soft, but it was one of command.

Siping didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly responded.Looking up, I saw that the snow was falling happily, and some of it floated to Gu Xiyan's shoulders, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "Madam, the Duke of the country is chatting with the third master and the third master, so it doesn't matter. You can wait under the eaves for a while." , I'll pass it on to you right away!"

Gu Xiyan was not polite to him, and followed him up the steps.As soon as she stood still, she heard Qi Maosheng's cold tone from inside the room: "Seal Mrs. Jingsui, why don't she stop embarrassing me, just seal Madam Jingsui, or seal Madam Zhao and Madam! "

It was quiet in the room, and no one answered.

Siping looked at Gu Xiyan with some anxiety, and said loudly: "Master, madam, please see me!"

There was a rustling sound in the room, and after a while, Qi Maosheng said: "Let the wife come in!"

Siping helped lift the curtain, and Gu Xiyan walked in.Qi Maosheng was the only one in the room.Presumably Qi Xiao and Mr. Ding knew she was going to come in, so they avoided it!
Qi Maosheng patted the snowflakes on her shoulders for her, and said, "Why don't you wear a big coat!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "I have something to tell you."

Qi Maosheng led her into the room where he invited Duan Yingluo last time, and the two got on the kang, Qi Maosheng said: "What's the matter, I rushed here before noon, can Aunt Duan make arrangements? "

"It's all settled!" Gu Xiyan said bluntly, "What's going on with Huilan's matter?"

Qi Maosheng's face was a little condensed: "You know?"

Gu Xiyan nodded.

"I got the news a long time ago, but I don't know how to tell you well, so I have been dragging it until now."

"Mo Ju told me that Huilan quarreled because Zuo Xiaoyu wanted her dowry girl to stay in bed during her wedding. I always think it's a little unreasonable," Gu Xiyan mused, "Whelan is a very A rational and calm person knew what kind of predicament she was going to face when she married her. How could she quarrel to the point of making Zuo Xiaoyu violent because of this kind of thing. And Zuo Xiaoyu, he is a military commander. How much weight is there, how can I not know in my heart, how can I get Huilan to wipe my neck while rubbing the sword arguing! Maosheng, tell me the truth, what is going on!"

"I got the news that Zuo Xiaoyu did quarrel with your maidservant over this matter." Qi Maosheng smiled wryly, "However, Zuo Xiaoyu may also take this opportunity... Although his marriage with the Gu family was bestowed by the emperor and the prince, Fu, but the queen mother was very dissatisfied, and did not arrange specific affairs for him when the holiday was sold out on the third day of the wedding, which is equivalent to giving him leisure...or maybe it was a whim at the time..."

Gu Xiyan's face turned pale.

She didn't sleep much last night, and was disturbed by Qi Maosheng again in the morning. She was a little physically exhausted, and then forced herself to entertain Duanniang and Mo Ju, and after hearing the news brought by Mo Ju about Huilan's murder, Xing With the news of Hong's pregnancy, she felt dizzy sitting on the kang at the moment, and all she heard in her ears was the sound of "bang bang bang" blood flowing... She couldn't help but support her forehead, and said with a sullen expression: "Even if you kill me, you will die." What's the use of Whelan..."

Qi Maosheng saw that her complexion was not good, and while telling her Xizhao's punishment to Zuo Xiaoyu, he reached out and hugged her in his arms, and said worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Leaning in his arms, Gu Xiyan felt much better when she smelled the sun-like warm breath on Qi Maosheng's body, and said, "Tell me, could this be a deal between Zuo Xiaoyu and Queen Mother Fang? "

Qi Maosheng was taken aback, he didn't expect Gu Xiyan to have such political sensitivity.

People who don't know the inside story will naturally think about it.

Of course he would not go to Cheng Jing, but instead followed her words: "We also suspected the same, but there is no evidence to prove it."

Gu Xiyan's head was full of buzzing sounds, and her weak body made her emotionally agitated.Tears welled up in her eyelashes: "If it was me who died, would Gu Baozhang take 3000 taels of silver and settle down? Would Gu Chaorong keep silent like this?"

Already called my father by his first name!

Xiyan, how did her relationship with her father get so bad!

Qi Maosheng hurriedly comforted her: "No, definitely not. In fact, for Gu Chaorong, it is much better for your maidservant to die than to live. In this way, there will be no proof of death. If something happens one day, the Gu family can push her away. Gotta clean it up..."

Gu Xiyan also felt that what Qi Maosheng said was reasonable, and this might be the crux of the reason why the Gu family didn't make any substantive gestures after Huilan was killed.She just felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't help murmuring in Qi Maosheng's arms: "So I'm still worth 3000 taels of silver..."

Seeing that she looked very scary, Qi Maosheng hurriedly said: "In my heart, she is a priceless treasure!"

Gu Xiyan felt warm in her heart when she heard Qi Maosheng's dry tone.

This guy is completely two people when he gets on the bed and when he gets out of the bed... Thinking of this, she felt even more sleepy, so she yawned.

"Go back and get some sleep, stop thinking about it!" Qi Maosheng took his own coat and put it on Gu Xiyan, intending to send her back.

Gu Xiyan put on a big hat, but rejected his offer: "Leave me alone, it's always bad to let Qi Xiao and Mr. Ding hide in the West Room. It's not very far away, so don't worry about it."

Qi Maosheng sent Gu Xiyan to go out, helped him close Dahui's collar, and said hesitantly: "Xiyan, the court's order has come..."

Gu Xiyan was startled, and said: "So fast! How did the court respond to your proposal of the hereditary inheritance of the Gaochang Governor's Mansion!"

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan's indifferent face, and the image of her sitting among the piles of jewels earlier came back to his mind.

Xiyan, she doesn't seem to care much about these things!
Thoughts flashed by, he smiled and said, "There is basically no problem!"

Gu Xiyan knew how important it was for the hereditary Qi Maosheng, or the Qi family and Yan land, to be inherited by the governor of the Gaochang Metropolitan Government.She smiled and said: "Congratulations, you can spread the wings of Kunpeng!"

Looking at Gu Xiyan's smile from the bottom of his heart, Qi Maosheng couldn't help touching her cheek, and said with a smile: "In the future, we don't want the title of Xizhao, we will give you a better one."

Don't want Xizhao's title?Do you want to be emperor yourself?This guy!

Gu Xiyan thought of what she heard just now under the eaves, and she couldn't help laughing: "You don't want to make me Mrs. Jingsui!"

Unnaturalness flashed across Qi Maosheng's face, and he said, "You've heard everything!"

It's Jing and Sui, are you using this title to warn Qi Maosheng?It's a pity that Qi Maosheng is not only a waste of all his hard work, but also arouses his even greater resentment.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "How many grades are they?"

"It will be granted according to my rank."

"There should be a salary, um, a salary, right?"

Qi Maosheng nodded: "Each year, the salary is 800 taels of silver, and the salary is [-] hu."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "It's too little, it's better to be Qi Maosheng's wife. There are 8000 taels of households every year."

Qi Maosheng knew that Gu Xiyan was trying to make himself happy, but he really said what he said appropriately, he couldn't help laughing: "You are in charge, and I will give you 2000 taels a year in the future, and I ask you to save me a big money."

"Then it's settled, just a lot, no less!"

The two chattered and laughed a few words, then Gu Xiyan waved at Qi Maosheng and went back to the room.

She went to see Duanniang first, and Duanniang was talking and laughing with Zhao Momo to clear things, Gu Xiyan chatted with her for a few words, then went back to the room and lay down.

When it was time for lunch, Qi Maosheng remembered that Gu Xiyan had a bad complexion just now, so he left Ding Hanzhi and Qi Xiao and went back to the room for dinner.

As soon as he got off the kang, he found Gu Xiyan's face pale and sweaty, and he hurriedly called "Xiyan" a few times, Gu Xiyan was awakened, and looked at Qi Maosheng with fear on his face, his eyes were blurred.

Qi Maosheng called out "Xiyan" again, Gu Xiyan came back to her senses, as if she had just seen the person in front of her clearly, she threw herself into Qi Maosheng's arms tremblingly: "I had a dream, I dreamed that the left Xiaoyu wanted to kill me with a sword, and said that I lied to him..." Qi Maosheng knew that she was frightened by the news of Huilan's death, so he hugged her to comfort her, and called Cuiyu to come in to wash her body with hot water.

Duan Niang was startled by the coming in and out, she recruited Yan Hong to ask what was the matter, Yan Hong smiled and said: "It is said that the wife is not feeling well, so the master fetched water to go in and wipe her body."

Duanniang saw a few little girls standing in the main room, and said, "Who is serving here?"

Yan Hong blushed, and said: "When Madam and Master are together, no one will serve you!"

Duanniang was startled.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhao whispered in Duanniang's ear, "Don't say it's daytime, even at night, you won't be served!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Duanniang's mouth.

In the evening, Duan Niang took time to talk to Mo Ju.

"What about Huilan, and what about Xinghong, you just follow the third master's order and rot in your stomach! Don't mention it again in the future!"

Mo Ju was a little uneasy and said: "Let's hide it from the girl, okay?"

Duanniang smiled and patted Mo Ju's head: "Silly girl, the girl is living a good life now, if you talk about that again, it will only make her sad."

Mo Ju thought of the scene when the Duke coaxed the girl to drink soup during lunch.

She nodded involuntarily, but felt a little sad in her heart, not knowing whether it was for herself, for Xinghong, or for everything that happened.

Xinghong asked her to meet the next day, but actually wanted to go with her.

She still remembered Xinghong's words at that time: "Master just took a fancy to the second girl, regardless of whether she is a girl from the Gu family or a maidservant from the Gu family, and said, 'As long as I praise her, I will be the concubine as well'... Then Huilan quarreled with him." Yeah...I'm so scared...Mo Ju, Whelan was afraid that I would say something to the master, so she rewarded me with a lot of gold and silver jewelry, why don't we run away like the second girl...Just the two of us, no one is there where to go and start over..."

Mo Ju couldn't help looking at the white snow outside the window.

Is it true that human beings are like this snow, when they are stepped on, they leave filth and can never return to the original place...
