Value peace

Chapter 192 The Devil's Moment ([-])

Both Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin failed to achieve their original intention of staying in Cui's small manor.

Ever since Mrs. Cui's words seemed to have awakened Zhenniang from her dream, she took care of Hongluan every day in an orderly manner, and she did her best to do whatever Gu Xiyan requested. Yan felt a little uncomfortable, and discussed with Zhenniang: "We have to find a way to get Hong Luan to speak up!"

Zhenniang nodded again and again: "What Young Madam said is true, we must find a way to make Hongluan speak!"

Gu Xiyan brought up the past: "One time Zhizi said that Hongluan could do arithmetic, you said, she taught Hongluan how to count. She didn't open her mouth, how is this numbering method?"

"Used chopsticks. Ask her what it is, and she will take out a few pairs of chopsticks." Zhenniang smiled, with a bit of pride in her eyes, "Just tell her a few times, and it will work, just a larger number will not work."

Gu Xiyan nodded: "I would like to ask Zhenniang to take care of Hongluan's matter!"

Zhenniang stood up, and respectfully said: "Young Madam, you are welcome, this is what I should do, but I haven't done it well!"

After Zhenniang left, Fang Shaoqin smiled gloatingly at the side: "There are so many wonderful people in the Qi Mansion!"

The "wonderful person" in Fang Shaoqin's mouth is usually a derogatory word, but Gu Xiyan turned a deaf ear to it.Fang Shaoqin was unwilling to let Gu Xiyan go like this, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I have been a little puzzled. Speaking of which, Wei Shiying and you are still relatives, why did you help me!"

why?

Gu Xiyan herself was also confused for a moment.

"Maybe it's because I think you're lonely... Take off Xizhao's dazzling brilliance, you, me, and the Zheng family are all the same, they are all people without a family..."

Fang Shaoqin's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

This aunt, who is one year younger than me, still hasn't said a word!

She doesn't have a natal family because her natal family members are not around... And she, Zheng's, don't have a natal family because they were asked to contribute to the prosperity of the family while they were abandoned in this remote place as victims... Seriously speaking From now on, I, Zheng Shi, are more pitiful, sadder, and lonely than her...

She looked up, and saw the unbearable look in Gu Xiyan's eyes.

"Where there is a choice, there is pain. But we just chose one of the two pains, and we don't know which choice is more painful..." Gu Xiyan murmured, as if for herself Sighing, and as if to comfort Fang Shaoqin, "There are some things that can no longer be turned back, but we can change... I hope to start with us and change..."

Fang Shaoqin, a crystal teardrop dripped from the corner of his eye.

* * * * * *
Some things are very exciting when I say them, and I am very moved when I hear them, but I really want to practice them, but I often feel very passive.

Fang Shaoqin began to suffer from insomnia.

Gu Xiyan, who lived next door, carefully observed Fang Shaoqin, watching her wandering by the lake in the small manor all night long.

Both of them were tormented by choices.

Duan Yingluo yawned and said vaguely: "Your chin is so sharp... Qi Hao will be back soon, you better leave her alone and go to rest early!"

"How can I sleep?" Gu Xiyan smiled wryly, "Knowing that there is a dangerous person by my side, I must find a way to reduce the lethality!"

Duan Yingluo hesitated and said: "You are not a nosy person... Anyway, this is also a matter of Peanut Alley, you, you better leave it alone, but don't be thankless..."

"Humans are social animals, who can really be alone!" Gu Xiyan smiled helplessly, "Don't you pull Fang Shaoqin here now when she still has a few visions for the future, can't you just watch She became the second Mrs. Xu, and we fought endlessly to the death... Who was the one who suffered in the end, not me... I don't want my child to encounter any danger, nor do I hope that one day, I Become a person who can even kill children... Hate is always more satisfying than love... Do you like living in a bloody environment all the time..."

"That's true!" Duan Yingluo said, "I'm afraid of anything. If you get into an argument, it will really hurt the child... It's too late to regret it!"

Gu Xiyan was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I have thought about it carefully. Wei Shiying's child will definitely not be able to be kept... In that case, why bother to bring Fang Shaoqin in... I will do my best, and what step I can do is the best step." Let's take a step!"

Duan Yingluo was shocked, and said: "Since she is pregnant with a child, Qi Yuzhi should have some affection for Wei Shiying. Even if there is no affection, after all, it is his own flesh and blood, and it is the first child. Madam Xu will always give some For the sake of face...he shouldn't be like this!"

Gu Xiyan shook her head: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Wei won't tolerate this child?"

Duan Yingluo thought for a while, and sweat broke out on her forehead.

If something happened to the child in Wei Shiying's stomach at this time, then Fang Shaoqin who invited Mrs. Xu to Peanut Alley, and Mrs. Xu who was extremely dissatisfied with Wei Shiying's pregnancy would all be suspected...then the relationship between Qi Yuzhi, Fang Shaoqin and Mrs. Xu , it will become very subtle!

Gu Xiyan said bitterly: "That day in Xianji Courtyard, Mrs. Xu heard from Nanny Yi that Aunt Wei was pregnant, and she passed out all of a sudden. When she woke up, she said that she was pregnant for five months after entering the house for three months. She was pregnant... I remember clearly that Wei Shiying was the aunt who was carried in February, so it should be five months. Moreover, Shaoqin also said that Wei Shiying was only two months pregnant. At that time, Nanny Yi kept peeping With my expression on my face, I pinched Mrs. Xu vigorously... Mrs. Xu must have lost her mind with anger, remembering the past. I regarded this Concubine Wei as another Concubine Wei... Qi Han, Maosheng and Qi Xiao was born back and forth, if Aunt Shui and Mrs. Zhou were the aunts who were promoted together, then it is still in the past, if not...then Madam Wei should have had a child before she gave birth..."

Duan Yingluo's face suddenly turned pale.

"Only in this way can we explain the hatred between Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wei..." Gu Xiyan pondered, "Sister Duan, please help me find out if Mrs. Wei entered the door with Aunt Shui and Mrs. Zhou... ..."

In the afternoon of the next day, Duan Yingluo shook her head at Gu Xiyan with a terrified expression, and said, "Everyone knows this... Qi Yu only accepted Aunt Shui and Madam Zhou in the seventh year after Mrs. Wei came in... "

Gu Xiyan's face also suddenly turned pale.

* * * * * *
Within a few days, both Fang Shaoqin and Gu Xiyan looked exhausted.

Only Hong Luan became more and more cheerful, more lively, and her face became more and more ruddy... One day, she even caught a caterpillar and threw it on Gu Xiyan's skirt, but it made Gu Xiyan burst into joy big laugh.

Hongluan didn't know why, she stared at her for a long time, then ran away angrily and stumbled.

Fang Shaoqin stood under the eaves, looking at Hongluan with blurred eyes: "When I was young, I used to be like Hongluan, innocent, ignorant of worldly affairs, and protected by my parents..."

Gu Xiyan who was standing beside her was speechless.

On the one hand, there are parents who love her, and on the other hand, she is a husband who avoids her.But this is how the world plays tricks on people.The person you love the most, but you can't spend your life together; the person you can't avoid, but you must create a future with him...

"Grandfather said, Uncle Nine has a cousin, Shaochang, so you don't have to worry about it in the future... But my father failed to give birth to a good son. If I marry to Yandi, for the sake of my face, the court will have to let my father advance a few ranks... My father is an honest man, and he has been relying on the shadow of his family to live on. Although he disagrees with my marriage far away, he dare not say anything... Helping my father in his official career is not in vain for him loving me..."

"I am four years younger than Ms. Shaoyingtang." The two walked slowly along the zigzagging corridors, "Once, we sisters were all practicing calligraphy in the open building. The teacher taught us very strictly, and each of us Everyone grinds ink. I was only four years old at the time, and my hands were not strong enough. I accidentally knocked over the inkstone on the lapel of my cousin Shaoying... When I came home from school, my mother found out and took it with me. I went to apologize to my cousin Shaoying. The sixth uncle said that it is a common occurrence in children's homes, so don't worry about it.

Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as we walked out, I heard cousin Shaoying complaining, saying, mother, what should I do, this dress was rewarded by the queen mother, and she also said, let me wear it for her to see next time I enter the palace.Aunt Six said, that being the case, why do you still wear it to show off? You poked the basket yourself and cleaned it up by yourself... At that time, my mother shook my hand while holding it.

Back home, my mother asked people everywhere, trying to get a skirt made of the same material as that of Shaoying's cousin, but she couldn't find it.

A few days later, cousin Shaoying was going to enter the palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager, so my mother went to Aunt Six's house with red eyes.I knew that I was in trouble, and I was very scared, so I followed him secretly.

As a result, I saw cousin Shaoying wearing the same clothes as that day.

Looking at the dress on Cousin Shaoying's body, the mother stammered a little.

Cousin Shaoying said triumphantly, "Fourth aunt, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make me another one, so that the queen mother's aunt will not know that sister Shaoqin has stained my clothes...

At that time, my mother hugged cousin Shaoying with tears in her eyes, and kept saying thank you in her mouth...

Not long after, my father sold a small manor that my mother married and found a job in Liangdi. When I was seven years old, my mother took me and my brother to Liangdi. It took nine years..."

Cui's small manor has a small lake, imitating the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and planting a few lotus plants. I don't know if it is because of the climate, but there are only green leaves and no flower buds.

The two sat on the Taihu stone by the lake, with the thick green shade like an umbrella above their heads.

"Winter in Liangdi is very cold, but not as cold as in Yandi. Summer is very hot, but it is hotter than Jiangnan. You can't feel it in spring and autumn. We are used to wearing a kind of small jacket that crosses the left and right sides and hips, and then wears it under the clothes. The collar and sleeves of the edge trousers are embroidered in bright colors, with concave and convex patterns." Having said this, she turned her eyes back to Gu Xiyan and smiled. "I am a master at embroidering Long flowers. The embroidery needles we use are different from those used in Shengjing. The needle holes are at the ends of the needles. Once the needle is pierced, the thread will form a bump. Some women Children, if your hands are not fast enough and your strength is not accurate enough, the length of the thread will be different, so you need to use scissors to trim the thread evenly. But I am different. My Long embroidery has always been unresponsive, and the needle angles are the same... Plus In the next day I can draw again, and everyone likes to ask me to draw flowers... I was running around the city in my trousers, and everyone looked at me with a smile, even if someone pointed, they were saying, look, that little girl, She looks really juicy..."

Fang Shaoqin chattered intermittently, but Gu Xiyan felt terrified. She didn't know whether she missed it for the sake of forgetting, or recalled it for the sake of remembering.
