Value peace

Chapter 209

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "Find a merchant who specializes in this business, and if this happens, he can supply us."

This matter really stumped Qi Maosheng.

He thought about it for a long time, but didn't say anything.

Gu Xiyan saw that he was a bit embarrassed, so she was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so she hurriedly changed the subject, and said: "This is just in case, maybe it's because I'm worrying about the sky, just in case, just in case. It's like a farce to make people in the know laugh..."

"No, no, no." Qi Maosheng said seriously, "Is this a good idea?"

"Huh? What a good idea?" Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng thoughtfully.

Qi Maosheng looked at the eaves with his hands on the pillow and began to meditate.

Gu Xiyan knew that he must have some idea, so she got up with a smile and went to the ear room to freshen up, then let her hair loose again, and braided it into two braids.

When Qi Maosheng saw Gu Xiyan coming out, he raised his eyebrows at her: "This matter is settled like this, I will find a way to find you a business, and you just need to prepare for the New Year's Eve!"

Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the kang and said with a smile: "What are you so excited about? Maybe Mrs. Xu has no such plan at all..."

Qi Maosheng waved his hand: "Whether she has this plan or not, as long as we have this plan!"

In a flash of inspiration, Gu Xiyan stuttered: "You can't be..."

"Yes!" Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile: "According to what you said, Fang Shaoqin is probably helping Mrs. Xu with housework. At that time, we will draw from the bottom of the pot and use the peanut alley to make Fang Shaoqin too busy. Mrs. Xu just wants to hide it. I'm afraid the illness will be over by then... If she doesn't make a move, we will force her to do it... Once the relatives in the family know that you did the New Year's sacrifice independently, she will want to flatter Fang Shaoqin in the future You, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Gu Xiyan was a little dumbfounded.

This Qi Maosheng, what do you say, you can go around and think of a trick in his hands!
The more Qi Maosheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and during the lunch break with his arms around Gu Xiyan, he would chatter endlessly: "...It's just that waiting for the illness is troublesome, so I have to find a way..."

Gu Xiyan was so exhausted that she turned over and fell asleep by herself, leaving Qi Maosheng alone to think about things.

After getting up in the afternoon, Qi Maosheng went to Qinyuan again. Before leaving, he told her: "I won't come back for dinner tonight... Liu Sanduo is here, I'll treat him to dinner!"

Gu Xiyan was startled, and said, "Master Liu? What is he doing here?"

Qi Maosheng said: "Talk about some business matters, and casually bring Liu Youcheng's family."

"He really brought his family!" Gu Xiyan was quite surprised.

Qi Maosheng smiled calmly and said, "Do you have anything to bring back to Xizhao?"

Gu Xiyan looked at the upright and generous Qi Maosheng in front of her, smiled and shook her head.

Qi Maosheng patted her head and said, "It's okay... Now that the Queen Mother is dead, even if there is anything, everyone will just pretend to be confused."

Gu Xiyan still shook her head: "It's because I don't want to have more involvement with Xizhao..." After saying that, she hugged Qi Maosheng's waist tightly, and put her face on his chest, "Here It's my home..."

Qi Maosheng hugged Gu Xiyan back, without saying a word, but a happy smile appeared on his face.

After Qi Maosheng left, Gu Xiyan called Duan Niang over to discuss the matter. She threw away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which made Gu Xiyan feel more pressure than formulating a five-year development plan for a department.

The Liyuan side is busy, and Mrs. Wei on the Huaiyuan side is not worried.

She looked at Bao Niang, opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "I don't know why there is an open fire in the pear garden at midnight?"

Bao Niang nodded: "I asked Yun Shang, she said that she was serving in Duan Yingluo's house last night and didn't know anything. The women guarding the second gate also hesitated and couldn't say anything. The boy from Qinyuan said that last night, my master went to Qinyuan's side room alone, and returned to the opera garden by himself after only two hours of sleep."

Mrs. Wei opened her mouth wide: "You bastard, I really can't tell!"

Bao Niang said in a deep voice: "Ma'am, look at this..."

"No, no, no! Don't worry about it!" Mrs. Wei laughed, "Little couples quarreled, quarreling at the end of the bed and at the end of the bed...don't worry about it..."

Having said that, Mrs. Wei still showed a look of disappointment on her face.

Bao Niang's heart moved, and she said, "Ma'am, that armband..."

Mrs. Wei shook her head: "Since we can't find out, then don't do it, so as not to provoke some evil moths... that's it. Maosheng has put in so much effort, we don't want to demolish him... just hope Give me a big fat grandson, and I will be satisfied..."

Bao Niang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei took a sip from the teacup and said, "You go to Chunli yourself and ask Aunt Gao to recommend a few nanny who can take care of things... I know Xi Yan's mind, I want to find her some tea from Wei Mansion. , but when the time comes, all the relatives will see are new faces, no matter how well they do it, there will be something for people to talk about, so it's better to use the people left behind by Aunt Gao."

Bao Niang hesitated and said: "Master sent someone to invite Aunt Gao, but Aunt Gao didn't come back, let's go to Aunt Gao's place in Chunli..."

Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "You can go at ease. Aunt Gao is a sensible person. She was suppressed by Xu Rong for decades, and at the end of her life, she couldn't keep her late and was kicked out. In her heart, she just didn't hate, didn't want to If we continue to fight, we must take care of the people who followed her. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent Mother Zhao into the mansion."

Bao Niang nodded.

"Also," Mrs. Wei instructed, "You have to keep an eye on the side of Peanut Alley. If there is no movement from Mrs. Xu's side, try to get Wei Shiying to move and pull Fang Shaoqin off the horse. Xu Rong is gone. Fang Shaoqin, you can't hide the fact that you've got wind paralysis. However, you have to pay attention to the time, don't be too early, don't be too late, even if it's before the New Year's Eve... If she wants to hide it, she can't hide it, forcing her Leave the housework in Xi Yan's hands."

Bao Dian hurriedly agreed: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely act carefully."

Mrs. Wei let out a long sigh: "I hope Xiyan can win, so that I can sleep peacefully in the future!"

When Qi Maosheng came back in the evening, Gu Xiyan had already drawn up a rough charter.

Qi Maosheng's face was slightly drunk, his spirits were high, he took the handkerchief from Gu Xiyan's hand and wiped his face, and said with a smile: "Let the Liu family prepare something for you for the New Year, what do you think?"

In the end, she got involved with the Liu family, Gu Xiyan smiled wryly and said, "It seems that's the only way to go."

Qi Maosheng obviously didn't have any worries in this regard, took a sip of the tea that Gu Xiyan handed over, and said relaxedly: "I've also thought about it carefully, there are well-known local business firms, which one doesn't have a tortuous relationship with the Qi family... Time, so as not to let the wind go out."

Gu Xiyan nodded and said, "How did your talk with Mr. Liu go today?"

"That's right." Qi Maosheng commented, "Act boldly and decisively... Not only Liu Youcheng's family members are brought here, but Liu Youcheng's brother Liu Zuocheng is also here. Both brothers are officers."

Saying that, he handed a box to Gu Xiyan.

"What is it?" Gu Xiyan asked curiously.

Qi Maosheng rolled up his sleeves and sat on the kang: "I don't know what it is, I said it was for you."

"Give it to me!" Gu Xiyan opened the box curiously.

A box full of banknotes.

Qi Maosheng was also surprised.

Gu Xiyan counted it, and it was 10 taels in total.

"They earned so much!" Qi Maosheng wondered.

"I can't see it!" Gu Xiyan murmured, "In the past few months, even if I dig gold, I can't think of this amount."

Qi Maosheng also understood after thinking about it: "I have expressed my opinion!"

"Hmm!" Gu Xiyan said, "What else did Master Liu say?"

"I want that twelfth grandma to greet you. I didn't answer directly. I want to come back and ask your opinion. Do you want to see me?"

Gu Xiyan thought for a while, and said: "It's better not to see each other, there are some things that others know and have evidence, are two different things."

The two chatted for a few words before going to bed.

Gu Xiyan couldn't bear to try Qi Maosheng once, but Qi Maosheng actually endured it.She couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyelashes, as if her heart ached for something, she lay obediently for two days, not daring to move.After those few days passed, Qi Maosheng was surprisingly docile again, Qi Maosheng only felt that he was more comfortable than before, that such a stern person now has a little gentleness in his demeanor.

Mrs. Zheng may have been ordered by Mrs. Zhou to bring Biluan and Ziluan to the Liyuan every now and then to pay Gu Xiyan a greeting.

The three children had fun, and the two sisters-in-law got along well.

There is a powerful mother-in-law on the Zheng family, and a shrewd aunt on the bottom. Although she is a noble daughter of Gaochang, Gaochang has been occupied by Xizhao now. Not to mention her family's wealth and life, her own future is tightly tied to Qi Xiao. , and did not give birth to a male heir, it is naturally a bit self-deprecating in front of everyone in Qi Mansion, not to mention which house he often visits and speaks from his heart.But when I met Gu Xiyan, who was not a ladylike person, she was willing to change the topic according to her interest. Mrs. Zheng talked more and more, and her scale became more and more open. In the end, even Qi Xiao exclusively favored the one who gave birth to a son. She also told Gu Xiyan everything about Aunt Shi.

As for Gu Xiyan, after all, she has never been a mother. Regarding Hongluan, she often discusses Zheng Shi, especially once, when Gu Xiyan, Zheng Shi and Zhenniang were playing leaf cards together, Gu Xiyan deliberately said Let's talk about Hongluan not speaking.

"My mother-in-law and I have tried our best, but it doesn't work. It seems that we should find someone with experience in this field. I don't know if there are any good candidates for my younger siblings!"

At that time, Zhenniang was stunned.

Mrs. Zheng didn't think too much, and said with an embarrassed smile: "The nuns of Biluan and Ziluan were all arranged by my mother-in-law..."

Gu Xiyan knew that what she said was inappropriate.

Mrs. Zheng is from Gaochang, Mrs. Zhou would never use her natal family no matter what.

She hastened to make amends and said: "You still have mother-in-law to discuss with, but I don't even have anyone to discuss with..."

A look of sympathy appeared on Zheng's face.

Afterwards, Zhenniang came to ask Gu Xiyan specifically about this, and Gu Xiyan smiled wryly: "There is no other way...Hongluan will talk about her in-law's family in two years, what should I do if I don't speak again?"

Zhenniang murmured: "Madam, give me some time, let me try!"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "That would be the best. If I find someone to come, I will lose my face!"
