Value peace

Chapter 183 Same name but different reality ([-])

Fang Shaoqin was stunned.

It should be Qi Hongluan who woke up her mother in the morning, but how come it was Gu Xiyan who went to see Qi Hongluan early in the morning, could it be that she was sick?
"Auntie, but sister Hongluan is not feeling well," Fang Shaoqin blushed as she spoke, "Speaking of which, I, the sister-in-law, haven't given my sister a meeting gift yet!"

No matter what Madam Xu and Zhenniang's original intentions are, Gu Xiyan agrees with their way of hiding Hong Luan intentionally or unintentionally.

The society is more harsh on girls, and Hongluan will marry and have children in the future. The reputation of "disease" will always affect her future life. Moreover, in Gu Xiyan's heart, she does not want anyone Look at this child with strange eyes.So, when we don't know how serious Hongluan's condition is, it's better to pay a little attention to the public's attention.

So Gu Xiyan refused: "She is not in good health and is avoiding people. After a few days, when she is better, I will take her to greet my new sister-in-law."

This was said too politely, with a tactful refusal.

Fang Shaoqin smiled embarrassingly.

No matter how much Gu Shi has affection for him, but he is from Xizhao after all, there are some things, he should keep some of them for her!

She stood up and said with a smile, "Since my aunt is busy, I'll take my leave first."

Gu Xiyan looked at Fang Shaoqin's reluctant smile, his expression was a little stiff because of the tension, and thinking of the vitality overflowing from the whole body when they met for the first time, she suddenly shivered.

She also came from a distant marriage, although she has the love of her husband, but she lacks a dignified identity; and Fang Shaoqin, although she has a dignified identity, but between the husband and wife... I and Fang Shaoqin actually came to the same goal by different routes... One day, they will be tortured beyond recognition by these family trifles!

As if to save herself, Gu Xiyan took Fang Shaoqin's hand: "With grandma, you are a junior, and you have to set the rules; in Peanut Alley, you are the housewife, and you have to follow the rules... When can you breathe a sigh of relief?" You just steal half a day off, as if you have returned to your mother's house, come to me to relax and be a big girl again."

Fang Shaoqin couldn't hide her surprise anymore, showing a shocked expression.

Gu Xiyan couldn't bear to look at her, so she turned around and called Mo Ju: "Mo Ju, I'm going to Wan Qingxuan for a walk, you take good care of the young mistress!"

* * * * * *
Hongluan was sitting on the peony-blossom carpet, holding a purse and looking left and right, as if there were some rare treasures in it, when Zhenniang called her, she ignored her.

Gu Xiyan squatted on the edge of the carpet talking to Zhenniang.

"Is Hong Luan okay?"

"Yeah." Zhen Niang smiled, "She feels at ease when she has familiar people and objects around her. She slept well last night."

Gu Xiyan's heart that had been hanging was slightly relieved.

Zhenniang smiled apologetically: "I heard that Mrs. Xu was ill, so I thought Mrs. Xu would not come back so soon... I'm going to wait for a while..."

Gu Xiyan watched Hong Luan to and fro that simple purse very patiently, and said with a smile, "I was afraid that you would be too early, so I deliberately came here earlier...Suddenly it rained, Yuzhi's new daughter-in-law In my place..."

Zhenniang's eyes shifted: "Well, the new eldest young mistress is here with you. Then I'll go over and say hello to her later!"

Gu Xiyan looked at Hongluan struggling to tear off her purse, and said calmly: "Zhizi stays with her alone, it doesn't matter... After you pass, there must be someone to take care of Hongluan's side!"

Zhen Niang gave Gu Xiyan a seat with the notebook: "Nurse Lei is still needed...it doesn't matter."

Gu Xiyan took advantage of the situation and sat on the Mazda: "Then let's go there later!"

Zhenniang bent her knees and bowed to Gu Xiyan: "Then I'll get off and change clothes first!"

Gu Xiyan seemed to be attracted to all the attention by Hong Luan, she gave an absent-minded "hmm" and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The sound of Zhenniang's footsteps gradually faded away, Gu Xiyan asked Hongluan: "Hongluan, what's in the flower bag?"

Hongluan was still playing with her purse, turning a deaf ear to Gu Xiyan's words.

Gu Xiyan sighed: "You look like this, but your father is anxious to death. Year after year, I have missed the best time to learn to speak and walk. I am afraid that I will meet a good doctor in the future. It's useless!"

Hong Luan didn't seem to hear it.

"really?"

Behind Gu Xiyan came a girl's worried question.

She turned her head and saw Zhizi standing behind her holding a set of jigsaw puzzles.

"Really? Ma'am, can it really be cured?" Zhizi's face was full of worry, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Is this for Hongluan to play with?" Gu Xiyan looked at the toy in Zhizi's hand.

Zhi Zi nodded, still struggling with that sentence: "Miss San, can you never get better again?"

"Not all of them," Gu Xiyan smiled and patted her head, "The sooner you start, the sooner you have hope!"

There was hesitation in Zhizi's eyes: "But she is the third girl, and once she cries, we dare not let her walk..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "You don't dare, and Zhenniang doesn't dare either?"

Zhi Zi nodded: "Well, everyone dare not."

"Why?" Gu Xiyan was very surprised.

Zhi Zi opened her eyes like black grapes, and said as a matter of course: "Because she is the master!"

Gu Xiyan was still waiting to ask something, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a peach-red floor-length skirt, she immediately changed the subject, and said to Zhizi with a smile: "Then you can help the third girl in the future!"

Zhi Zi seemed to think of something, and nodded desperately: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely help the third girl!"

* * * * * *
Xing Yu swiftly placed a few plates of dried fruit on the small table on the kang, brewed a new pot of tea, lit a glass lamp again, and said with a smile: "Look, young mistress, is it on?"

Fang Shaoqin looked at the haw jelly, cloud slices, orange cake, black dates, and sesame candies on the small table, and said with a smile, "It's good!"

Xing Yu bowed her knees to salute and retreated.

Over there, Mo Ju brought over a bed of sky blue lake silk quilt embroidered with twine flowers, and put it on her lap with a smile.

Nanny Shi knew that Mo Ju was the big girl in charge of Gu Xiyan's house, so she said flatteringly: "Miss Mo Ju is more careful."

"Mommy praised me!" Mo Ju smiled submissively, then squatted down and gave a blessing, and retreated.

Fang Shaoqin looked at the surrounding layout heartily.

In the middle is a gauze screen embroidered with chick peonies that divides the bedroom into two halves. The big kang facing the window is full of Duobao grids along the edge, and all kinds of things are placed there.There are books to read, pens and ink to use, to play with, and a pair of leaf cards... like a girl's boudoir.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Nanny Shi also looked at the room, "This young lady is still a child at heart. Girl, look, there is a shuttlecock in the corner over there!"

Fang Shaoqin looked along Nanny Shi's fingers.

Really, there is a small nanmu box in the corner of Duobaoge at the end of the Kang, and two chicken feather shuttlecocks are placed in front of it.

Fang Shaoqin lost his mind for a moment as he looked at the brightly colored feathers.

Nanny Shi pulled out the nanmu box casually, picked up the shuttlecock, weighed it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, I never thought that Young Madam would like to kick shuttlecock just like you..."

Fang Shaoqin's cheerful laughter sounded like silver bells.

"Brother, brother, look, how high I kick!"

Under the big tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, I was wearing a green jacket, smiling carefreely, waving my hands, twisting my waist, and the shuttlecock with bright feathers was rising and falling between my feet...

The hand seemed to have its own consciousness, holding the shuttlecock in it.

Nanny Shi over there was already attracted by the nanmu box: "What's in it!"

Fang Shaoqin came back to his senses, and was about to speak out to stop it, but Nanny Shi had already opened the box.

Looking at the things in the box, the two were stunned.

It was an unfinished embroidery job, and it was embroidered on a purse. The pattern of the purse was Hanmei Lingxue, and the gaps between the needles and corners were different. It could be seen that the technique was very rusty, and there were all kinds of embroidery threads beside it.

Suddenly, Fang Shaoqin's eyes flashed Gu Xiyan's naughty blinking eyes.

It's like suddenly discovering an unknown secret.

Gu Xiyan suddenly became kind and vivid in Fang Shaoqin's mind.

"Put it away, Mommy!" She said in a hurry, "Since it's stored in a corner, I naturally don't want anyone to know about it."

Nanny Shi also understood, hastily closed the box and put it back to its original place.

Fang Shaoqin told Nanny Shi: "Don't tell anyone."

Although Nanny Shi nodded, she still couldn't help laughing and said, "I really didn't expect that Young Madam's embroidery work...is even worse than that of seven or eight-year-old children..."

Fang Shaoqin just smiled without answering, and took out two books from the Duobaoge grid.

One is "Thirteen Langs" and the other is "Caolu Poetry Collection". The former is a Qing opera book, and the latter is a collection of poems by a great poet in Xizhao.

She took out all the books in the Duobaoge grid and looked at them.

Miscellaneous talks about unofficial history, hundreds of schools of thought, geography and annals, libretto of songs... There are all kinds of them, ranging from elegant to vulgar.

Fang Shaoqin was a little dazed looking at the red eight-step bed that could be vaguely seen in the blank space of the juvenile peony gauze screen.

Gu Xiyan, what kind of girl is she?

In front of people, she behaves well, is gentle and respectful but is tactful in dealing with things, but looking at the furnishings in this room, she seems to be free and unrestrained everywhere...

If it wasn't for such a meeting, would there be another scene between the two of them!

Fang Shaoqin sighed, and heard a soft voice from outside, the tone was very respectful.

She hurriedly gave Nanny Shi a wink, and the two hurriedly put the book into Duobaoge's compartment.

Fang Shaoqin took a book and leaned against the big pillow.

As soon as she got into her pose, Gu Xiyan walked in with a woman in her 20s.

Far away, the woman squatted down and performed a blessing ceremony, saying: "Little girl Zhenniang, please greet the young lady!"

Fang Shaoqin quickly got up from the bed, and looked at Gu Xiyan with doubtful eyes.

Gu Xiyan smiled and introduced to them: "This Zhenniang is Hongluan's adoptive mother."

Rich and noble families will invite a female official from the palace or a well-known woman to be the adoptive mother of the girls, so that they can learn the rules, learn the six arts, and become a qualified lady.

So Fang Shaoqin didn't neglect her, and nodded to her with a smile.

Zhenniang raised her head, and Fang Shaoqin saw a pair of big watery eyes.

She was startled.

It reminded me of Wei Shiying's twinkling eyes.
