Value peace

Chapter 198 Yongzhou Autumn Rhyme ([-])

A few days after the Qiuxi Festival, Gu Xiyan's little day came.

Originally, she didn't have any physical discomfort, but Gu Xiyan used this as an excuse not to greet Mrs. Xu, and wanted to get tired of being with Qi Maosheng.

Qi Maosheng naturally knew what was on her mind, so he followed her and moved the official business to Liyuan to handle it.

The two each occupied half of the kang, and Gu Xiyan was reading idle books at the west end.

The book was bought by Siping from outside, and it is full of love stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.

Romance novels are the same in ancient and modern times.

Gu Xiyan watched and smiled.

Qi Maosheng was looking at the official document seriously, and when he heard her laughing happily, he couldn't help raising his head: "What are you looking at?"

When Gu Xiyan heard Qi Maosheng's question, she walked around the kang table and climbed into Qi Maosheng's arms, pointing to the content in the book, "Look..."

Qi Maosheng glanced at it twice, then pinched Gu Xiyan's cheek with a smile: "Who bought you the book..."

Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled.

Over there, a nanny from the second sect came in and told Yan Hong to tell her that it was Mrs. Cui who asked to see her.

Gu Xiyan said goodbye, and Qi Maosheng smiled and said: "Put it away quickly, be careful that my sister-in-law saw it. If it spreads among relatives, we will never be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives."

Gu Xiyan's eyes shifted: "What am I doing, it's just a bit of explicit writing... I don't believe it, my sister-in-law has never seen it before!"

Qi Maosheng straightened his face: "Put it away quickly."

Gu Xiyan always thought that Qi Maosheng was a paper tiger, so she smiled and kissed him on the cheek before putting on her shoes and getting off the kang.

As soon as she walked out of the corridor next to the open mansion, she saw Cui's pearls and jade emerald walking towards her.

Cui Shi saw Gu Xiyan from a distance, and walked away with a happy smile: "What are you doing out, it's a hot day..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but looked up at the sky.

It's already mid-autumn, and although the sun is dazzling, it doesn't make people feel hot at all.

She smiled and said, "I'm not Mrs. Dianji?"

The two were chatting and laughing, and Gu Xiyan led Cui Shi to the Pearl Pavilion.

After the maidservants served tea and left, Cui Shi discussed with Gu Xiyan: "Shaoqin's place, why not go? Go, lest she think we are disrespectful to the Queen Mother, don't go, the words that day were spoken again ..."

Gu Xiyan pondered and said: "Keep a low profile, bring gifts over there, sit down for a meeting, and come back after a light meal."

Cui thought for a while, and said: "Okay. Inviting people from our Zhuji Club, it seems close."

The two discussed the issue of the gift again, and then Cui got up to leave: "You have a mother-in-law, it's inconvenient, let me handle this matter!"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said a few words of thanks, and got up to see her off.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Cui saw Cuiyu walking towards the main room of the Liyuan carrying a lacquer tray.

She fixed her eyes and saw that the lacquered plate contained watermelons.

Is it...

Cui said with a smile: "My lord is at home... Now that I'm here, I have to pay a visit."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "Yes. She is reading official documents on the kang, afraid of disturbing him, so the sister-in-law who received him in the Zhuji Pavilion..."

With that said, he led Mrs. Cui to the main room.

Mrs. Cui went to visit Qi Maosheng, everyone said a few things about the housework, and Mrs. Cui left after eating two pieces of watermelon.

As soon as she got home, she took up a pen and wrote a letter to her husband who was far away in Daying Northwest of Yanzhou: "...in broad daylight, the Duke of the State was actually handling official business in the backyard, with a faint rouge mark on his cheek, and Mrs. Ye At that time, it was very different. You don't have to worry, I will come and go with her frequently in the future, and everything will be done according to Gu's lead..."

* * * * * *
A few days later, Mrs. Cui went to Xianjiyuan to pay her respects to Mrs. Xu, and talked about Fang Shaoqin's birthday.

Mrs. Xu is also in her late [-]s. Ever since she got the news of the Queen Mother Fang's death, she has started to think more and sleep less. In addition, the weather in autumn is cold day and night, and she is a little uncomfortable.On the night of the Qiuxi Festival, seeing the intimacy of Qi Maosheng and his wife, and the alienation of Qi Yuzhi and his wife, she couldn't help drinking a few more glasses, and in the morning, she started to have a headache and a headache, so she invited the doctor to come Asked a doctor, said that it is autumn dry air dry, on the virtual fire, eat some divergent disease and it will be fine.But at this time, Qi Yuzhi came to ask Mrs. Xu for ginseng fruit, saying that Wei Shiying had a bad face, vomited whatever he ate, and was so thin that his bones were gone.

After Mrs. Xu heard this, she said nothing!
Qi Yuzhi's face was pale, and she knelt down in front of Mrs. Xu: "Grandmother, I know I was wrong. But for the sake of the child, please stop worrying about these things. From now on, I will definitely treat Shaoqin well... "

Mrs. Xu sneered and said: "Treat her well, treat her well, then come and ask me for ginseng fruit for that little bitch... You can ask your wife to ask for it if you want it!"

Qi Yuzhi still squatted silently.

Mrs. Xu just felt stuffy and dizzy.

Thinking of how this grandson brought him to such a big age with one hand and one foot, and thinking of these absurd things he did, she was really not angry or hated, she was so angry that she couldn't speak when she pointed at Qi Yuzhi.

All the maids and maids knelt down tremblingly, only Mammy Yi noticed something strange.

Mrs. Xu's mouth was crooked, and saliva flowed out involuntarily.

She grew up beside Mrs. Xu since she was a child, and she knew that Mrs. Xu had always paid attention to her appearance, and she never had such a thing happen.

She decided to drive everyone out of the room, leaving Qi Yuzhi behind, and said, "Yu Guan, grandma seems to be in a bad situation..."

Qi Yuzhi took a closer look and found that Mrs. Xu's face was flushed, her eyes were sad, and her whole body was shaking, but she couldn't say a word.

The two hurriedly supported Mrs. Xu to lie down. Nanny Yi secretly called the doctor in. The doctor looked at it and said, "Let's go back to the Duke!"

When Nanny Yi heard this, she collapsed on the ground on the spot.

After all, Qi Yuzhi was more knowledgeable than women and children, so he took the doctor aside and asked Xiang Xiang.

The doctor said vaguely: "This is limb pain caused by wind and cold, numbness of hands and feet..." This is what the folks call hemiplegia.

He asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine, and then told Nanny Yi: "I'll go to Second Uncle's..."

Nanny Yi nodded with tears in her eyes, but found that someone was pulling her sleeves.When she saw it, it was Mrs. Xu, with her mouth crooked and trembling, blinking vigorously at her.

The two have been together for many years, so they naturally have a tacit understanding.

Nanny Yi rushed forward and grabbed Qi Yuzhi, saying, "You can't go!"

Qi Maosheng was startled for a moment, but soon understood, his face was livid: "Are you asking me to be an unfilial person?"

Nanny Yi cried: "You are the one who is not filial when you go."

The two were confronting each other when they heard a coughing sound from Madam Xu's throat.

Qi Yuzhi rushed to Mrs. Xu's illness, and saw Mrs. Xu stretching out her convulsed hand to hold him.

Nanny Yi said sharply, "Do you want to make grandma angry?"

Qi Yuzhi just froze there.

Seeing that he stopped making trouble, Mother Yi called the girl next to her to Peanut Alley and invited Fang Shaoqin over.

When Fang Shaoqin came in, he saw Qi Yuzhi holding Mrs. Xu's hand guiltily, kneeling on the edge of the kang and weeping. Mrs. Xu's mouth was trembling crookedly, and she immediately knew that something was wrong.

Nanny Yi hurriedly said: "Madam called Yu Guan to come and was scolding him, who knows..."

Just as he was talking, the doctor prescribed the medicine in the outer room, and said: "Don't make Madam angry anymore, pay attention to massage your feet, eat more fruits and vegetables..."

Fang Shaoqin responded one by one in a hurry.

Nanny Yi sent the doctor out, stuffed him with a big red seal, and said, "I hope you don't say anything about today's matter..."

This doctor can be regarded as enshrined by the Qi family. Mrs. Xu has a headache.

Back in the house, Fang Shaoqin had ordered the maid to boil the medicine.

Originally, stroke patients were most afraid of being moved. Nanny Yi and Qi Yuzhi unintentionally made the best treatment, and Mrs. Xu was strong-willed. When the medicine was ready, she could already speak a few words intermittently.

"Yuguan, yes, wait for Shaoqin, okay!"

Qi Yuzhi nodded with tears in his eyes, and Fang Shaoqin, who came in with the medicine, looked at Mrs. Xu's gray head, and when he heard this, the corners of his eyes got wet, and he turned his face away quietly.

Qi Yuzhi personally served Mrs. Xu to drink the medicine, which also had the effect of sleeping, and Mrs. Xu fell asleep slowly.

Nanny Yi pulled the couple together to discuss: "You can't let the Grand Duke know about this matter... For Gu's side, don't let her come to pay your respects for the time being."

Fang Shaoqin nodded: "Just say that grandma is too worried and needs to rest... I will come to bed to wait for illness."

Qi Yuzhi gave Fang Shaoqin a grateful look.

The three of them have been busy for more than ten days. Although Mrs. Xu can't return to normal, she can already speak a few words slowly, like a child of three or five years old.

Usually, if someone came to ask something, Fang Shaoqin would write it on paper, and then Nanny Yi would pass it on through the curtain, and she didn't notice anything unusual.

Gu Xiyan was being fussed by Qi Maosheng. Hearing that she didn't need to go to pay her respects during this period, she only recruited Fang Shaoqin to serve her. She thought she was trying to play some tricks again, so she was naturally happy and carefree, and didn't find anything.

So Mrs. Cui mentioned celebrating Fang Shaoqin's birthday, and Mrs. Xu, who was lying on the kang, smiled gratifiedly, and said slowly: "Okay, I will contribute 100 taels of silver, and I will join in."

Mrs. Xu spoke very slowly, and her expression did not have the spirit of the past.

Cui couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Could it be that he got some kind of disease, but he didn't hear about it?If it was normal, all the female family members of the Hefu should have come to inquire about the illness...

With so many things happening at home, how could Fang Shaoqin be in this mood.But the more it is, the more calm and calm you have to be.

She smiled and said, "Since grandma loves granddaughter-in-law dearly, it's not easy for granddaughter-in-law to refuse. On the second day of junior high school, I waited quietly for all the aunts in Peanut Alley."

Mrs. Xu naturally wouldn't keep Mrs. Cui, and Mrs. Cui turned around and went to Liyuan after receiving the letter of approval.

Qi Yuzhi apologized all over his face: "Shaoqin, during the national mourning...I'm really sorry for you!"

Mrs. Xu showed a satisfied smile: "This is the good girl of our Xizhao family!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuzhi's eyes darkened, he lowered his head, and murmured: "Shaoqin... I didn't mean to..."

Fang Shaoqin showed a thoughtful expression.

Mrs. Wei of Huaiyuan had a cold face: "In this way, it's too cheap for her!"

Bao Niang hesitated and said, "Wei Shiying's side..."

Madam Wei snorted coldly: "Just tell her the truth...Qi Yuzhi and Fang Shaoqin got together because of Xu Rong's illness. If she knows...Well, let's wait and see the show!"

Cui, who went to Liyuan, felt extremely embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, the wet nurse next to Gu Xiyan actually said she couldn't see her.

A look of resentment appeared on Cui's face.

Duanniang could only smile bitterly and said: "Ma'am, it's not me who took Joe, it's really... the master is still in the inner courtyard..."

Cui looked up at the sky in astonishment.

This, it's already three poles in the sun...
