Value peace

Chapter 215 Spring Birth and Autumn Killing ([-])

Winter nights always come earlier.

The howling north wind whipped up heavy snow, flying in the pink and jade-decorated world... Gu Xiyan sat blankly on the big kang, raised the curtain and looked out the window at night.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid there's something stuck to my hand..." Mo Ju looked at Gu Xiyan's expression carefully, and whispered softly, "I didn't say that before, if you come back late, I will let you Go to bed first, if you are like this, my heart will hurt again when my master is back!"

In the afternoon, Maosheng patted the table and rode out, and has not come back until now...

Gu Xiyan turned a deaf ear and leaned her head weakly against the glass window.

Where did Maosheng go after such a heavy snowfall?
He is not like others, and he has friends and so on. Erping asked him about several places he usually goes to, and he said he didn't know, but it's better that nothing happens...

Mo Ju exchanged glances with Xing Yu who was serving at the side, Xing Yu nodded, stepped forward a few steps, and was about to speak persuasion, when Gu Xiyan suddenly turned around, with a dull expression on her face: "Go to Qinyuan to ask again, See if Grandpa is back?"

Xingyu hurriedly responded and left.

Gu Xiyan showed a bleak smile, and patted the kang mat beside her: "Mo Ju, sit up and talk."

Mo Ju responded, and sat on the kang with half of her body.

"Mo Ju, tell me the truth, would you like to marry into the Tian family!" Gu Xiyan said sincerely.

Mo Ju blushed, lowered her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Madam, I, I am willing to serve you..."

Gu Xiyan sighed, and said: "You don't have to be shy... While I still have the ability to arrange you today, there may not be this shop after this village. If you want, I will arrange it. If you don't Yes, but I can't force you. You followed me all the way from the south, and you know my temper best. I'm very tired now, and I don't want to guess who's mind anymore, so just tell me."

Mo Ju's voice became even softer: "I just met that time... I don't know what he thinks..."

Gu Xiyan leaned on the pillow with a disconsolate expression: "Then I'll let someone talk about it... It's done, it's also your fate..."

"But madame..." Mo Ju's eyes were full of worry.

"If you want, you can still serve here." Gu Xiyan said with a smile, "Every day I leave early and return late, and I will give you four days off a month. If he is not at home, don't take it. Save it up and wait until he comes back. Hugh. I have some living money in my hand, and I will buy a pen and ink for the children in the future, and the children will be rare..."

Having said that, Mo Ju couldn't help covering her mouth and crying when she thought of Gu Xiyan's pain.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "What's wrong with you...I'm not dying..."

Mo Ju hurriedly wiped away her tears: "No, it's all right..." But the tears were like a spring, and they couldn't be wiped away.

Gu Xiyan sighed, and Duanniang came in with a lacquer tray.There was also a cup of steaming hot soup medicine on it.

Seeing Mo Ju crying, Duanniang gave Mo Ju a hard look, and then handed the medicine cup to Gu Xiyan with a smile: "Drink it quickly, it's neither hot nor cold, it's just right!"

Gu Xiyan looked at the medicine cup for a long time before taking it and drinking it in one gulp.

Duanniang saw that she drank more happily than usual today, and the smile on her face became wider. She opened the small pastel porcelain box on the side: "Come, eat two pieces of maple syrup to moisten your throat."

Gu Xiyan had sugar in her mouth, and said with a smile, "I'm tired and want to rest."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Duanniang smiled all over her face, "Mo Ju, hurry up and make a bed for Madam!"

Mo Ju responded, and turned behind the screen to make Gu Xiyan's bed.

Duanniang knelt down to put on Gu Xiyan's shoes, then waited for her to enter the room and lie down.

According to Gu Xiyan's past habits, at this time, it is time to blow out all the lights in the house, and then leave a small lamp outside to illuminate Qi Maosheng.Duan Niang helped to blow out all the lights in the room, Gu Xiyan called Duan Niang: "Don't blow it, it's dark in this room."

Duanniang hesitated for a moment, then turned around and lit the lamp again.

Gu Xiyan asked: "Xing Yu has been away for such a long time, why hasn't she come back yet!"

Mo Ju hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll go and have a look, I'm afraid it's snowing heavily and the road is not easy to walk."

Qinyuan and Liyuan often come and go. When it snowed last October, someone slipped and fell. Qi Maosheng ordered people to build a roll shed on the corridor. Why is it not easy to walk...

These thoughts flashed through Gu Xiyan's head in a daze.

Mo Ju got up and went to Qinyuan.

As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw two little girls carrying octagonal glass lanterns and Xing Yu coming from the corridor of Qinyuan. Xing Yu also saw Mo Ju, and hurriedly took the lanterns from the little girls' hands, saying: "All of you Go and rest!"

The two little girls bowed their knees to salute and retreated, Xing Yu said to Mo Ju, "Master just came back, it was muddy and snowy, he said he drank too much at the third master's house, and even fell down..."

Mo Ju let out an "oops", "Where's that person?"

Xing Yu hesitated for a moment, and said: "It is said that the body is dirty and smells of alcohol, I am afraid it will poison Madam... I will rest in Qinyuan tonight."

Mo Ju was stunned.

In the past, no matter how urgent the war was, no matter how busy the official business was, no matter how late the weather was, they had to go back to the Liyuan...

The two of them stared at the wind-blown lanterns in silence, neither of them was willing to lift their feet and walk towards the main house of the Liyuan first.

* * * * * *
There were shadows in the room, and she was lying alone under the quilt, and there was another person lying in a place less than a hundred away from here.That person used to cover her feet in the cold winter, fan her in the hot summer, walk with her in the gentle spring, and watch the moon with her in the cool autumn... Now, he is like a person separated by the sea and mountains. The world is far and wide, but it is difficult to cross that gap...

"My body is dirty and smells of alcohol. I'm afraid it will smell my wife... I will rest in Qinyuan tonight." These words seem to be engraved in my mind, and I turn them out from time to time to think about them, aftertaste...

Gu Xiyan opened her big eyes, looking at the various mascots hanging on the corner of the tent, she felt like a lamb on the altar, afraid, mourning, lonely, helpless...

The room was so quiet that she even had the illusion that she heard the sound of snow falling on the ground.

Then, the rustling sound became more and more audible.

Could it be Maosheng is back...

Gu Xiyan lifted up the layers of curtains hanging on the bed in surprise.

Wei Wei was suddenly pushed away, and the visitor felt uncomfortable for a moment.

She murmured "Young Madam".

The slanted ponytail, the delicate makeup, the close-fitting thin shirt... Gu Xiyan understood in an instant.

Back then, didn't Liu Meier dress like this to meet Qi Maosheng?
She sank down on the bed.

"Young Madam, although Madam Wei ordered it, the servant has no intention of overstepping!" Cuiyu respectfully knelt in front of Gu Xiyan's bed.

Do I still need my permission to send a woman to Maosheng's bed?

What's the point of this!
Gu Xiyan didn't even have the strength to speak.

My heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, little by little, a little bit of pain, after the pain, I jumped more happily...

Cuiyu quickly sized up Gu Xiyan, who was ashen-faced, from the corner of her eye, and bent her body on the ground even more humbly: "I was originally asked to go to bed at night...but without Madam's consent, the servant is If you don't dare... just tell Aunt Duan, let me say hello to Madam, if Madam agrees, the servant will go, if Madam disagrees, tonight, the servant will be on duty in Madam's room... "

Gu Xiyan looked at the ceiling and remained silent.

"But when the servant girl came to Madam..." Cuiyu dragged her voice, slightly raised her head to look at Gu Xiyan's expression.

Gu Xiyan's face was dead silent.

But the story has already been said for this sake, but it has to be said.

Cuiyu took a deep breath and said, "But I saw a woman went to the Duke's Qinyuan..."

Are all the ghosts and ghosts out?
For some reason, Gu Xiyan thought it was funny.

It's like watching a stage play, the people in it are so far away from her...

"Although wearing a cloak, the servant can see clearly that that person is Zhenniang..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't stop laughing softly.

Sarcasm, contempt, sadness, bewilderment... But there is no interest in finding out.

Cuiyu's face turned pale, and she glanced at Duan Niang who was standing beside Wei Wei and let her in.

Duan Niang's face was serious.

The Duke didn't return to the Liyuan, so how could Duanniang sleep.Just as she was tossing and turning on the bed, Niang Qin, who was beside Madam Wei, brought clothes and jewelry to find Duanniang, saying that the master was drunk and asked Cuiyu to serve her.

How can Duanniang not understand.

But at this time, I have no position to refuse.

She had to call Cuiyu to get up, and then asked Yunshang to comb her hair and change her clothes.

Cuiyu is clever.

Others don't know about the situation in the Liyuan, but she has seen it, and she has given up thinking about it a long time ago.However, now it is like an arrow on the string, and it has to be launched.

When they walked into the hallway, Cuiyu hesitated again and again and grabbed Duanniang's sleeve: "I want to go and say hello to Young Madam!"

Duanniang also understood the meaning of this.

If she can get Gu Xiyan's approval, then she will have hope in the future.

Knowing Gu Xiyan's temper, Duanniang was hesitant to take her there, but saw a woman in a white fur coat flashing into the corridor leading to Qinyuan alone.

The two were startled.

Cuiyu immediately understood who the woman was: "Auntie Duan, it's Zhenniang... I don't think much of Madam..."

Zhenniang's background, talent, and strategy are not comparable to those of the little girls in the room... Duanniang immediately felt the danger.

She snorted coldly, and said decisively: "Go, come with me to see the Young Madam!"

Now, Gu Xiyan turned a deaf ear to the words of the two, and ignored the danger she was about to face.

In a hurry, Duanniang opened the curtain and said, "I said that I drank too much today, and I can't even control Siping..."

Gu Xiyan, who heard this, remained silent for a while.

"You damn girl..." Before Duanniang finished her sentence, Gu Xiyan's mouth slowly opened into a smile.

She sat up and said softly: "Cuiyu, go and call Duan Yingluo for me!"
