Value peace

Chapter 240

For dinner, Gu Xiyan made Qi Maosheng's favorite food, fried hoof flowers with scallions.

Qi Maosheng looked a little absent-minded, and he hesitated until the dinner was over, and said: "Xiyan, I'm going to He County to supervise the battle in a while, and you are bored at home, and Aunt Gao has a leg problem, why don't you go along with me?" Aunt Gao will live in Chunli for a while, okay?"

Gu Xiyan was startled, thinking of Bi Gen, whom she had listened to halfway in Qinyuan.

It seems that Maosheng still failed to keep Aunt Gao in the Qi residence!
Seeing this, Qi Maosheng hurriedly said: "Didn't you think about the kind of life where you can wake up whenever you want and sleep when you want? In the mansion, there is no such freedom... I happen to be not at home , you go around, if you feel lonely, invite Liu Meier to accompany you, and spring is like spring all the year round, and the weather is mild, you will definitely like it..."

I started to talk a little bit, Aunt Gao's refusal must have made Maosheng feel helpless and annoyed, I feel that I have no face!
Gu Xiyan pursed her lips into a smile, and said "OK": "Then I'll take Liu Meier to Chunli to be my companion!"

Qi Maosheng obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, okay. I will personally write a letter to Jiufeng and ask her to accompany you..."

While the two were talking, Hongyu brought tea to Qi Maosheng and a cup of soy milk to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan was taken aback.

Hongyu hurriedly explained with a smile: "Aunt Gao told me that in the future, Madam can't drink cold things like green tea, so I specially asked her to make soy milk."

Gu Xiyan said "Oh", but Qi Maosheng said, "Hongyu, is there anyone else in your family?"

Hongyu was startled, glanced at Gu Xiyan, and then said: "There is only one uncle who lives far away in the family."

Qi Maosheng nodded and said, "Go down!"

After Hongyu left, Gu Xiyan said coquettishly, "I haven't asked what Hongyu means yet!"

Qi Maosheng said with a smile: "If you settle down early, she can go to Chunli with you at ease... Aunt Gao said, you have nothing to do, you just need to take care of yourself, and you have to start with your diet..."

Gu Xiyan thought of Aunt Gao's words "Young Madam, I still need to be more restrained", she looked at Qi Maosheng unflatteringly: "Didn't you say anything else?"

Qi Maosheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "Others? No!"

Gu Xiyan lowered her head and smiled

For being like this, Maosheng felt a little self-blame and uneasy in his heart...

* * * * * *
After the two had dinner, Qi Maosheng dragged Gu Xiyan to Mrs. Xu's place: "It's not too late, I'll send you to Chunli tomorrow morning."

Gu Xiyan said: "Madam Wei, I'm afraid I have to go there too."

Qi Maosheng said: "Aunt Gao is staying at Mrs. Wei's place tonight...just go and greet her when I leave tomorrow."

The husband and wife went to Xianji Courtyard and greeted Mrs. Xu, and the maid served tea for them after they were seated.

Mrs. Xu asked about Gu Xiyan with concern: "Aunt Gao came here on purpose, what do you say?"

"I was just about to talk to my mother about it." Qi Maosheng smiled, "Aunt Gao said that Xiyan's body is too weak, so she asked her to go to spring to raise her. I'm going to let Xiyan leave tomorrow!"

"Go to Chunli?" Mrs. Xu was startled, "Going to Chunli is better than going to Chunkuo. Speaking of which, we still have another courtyard there..."

Qi Maosheng smiled thoughtfully, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu frowned quickly, and changed the subject: "After all, Aunt Gao is old and has been out of the house for many years. I don't know if she will do her best. In my opinion, we should invite Qixia It would be better if the doctor's aunt from Guan came. Otherwise, I'll write a letter to Shengjing and ask your uncle to help with the arrangements!"

I already have this heart, so what to do first!
Gu Xiyan was worried in her heart.

Qi Maosheng said happily: "It's still my mother's thoughtful thinking. If so, I will trouble you to write a letter to uncle. As for Xiyan, I will also go to Chunli... Let's do a two-pronged approach. What do you think?"

Mrs. Xu even said yes.

After the couple left, Nanny Yi couldn't help complaining: "Ma'am, why did you agree so easily... Speaking of which, you are not in good health yet, just when you need your daughter-in-law to take care of you..."

Mrs. Xu stared coldly at the place where Gu Xiyan was standing just now, and said coldly: "When can't you wait, why are you so anxious?"

* * * * * *
At this time in Huaiyuan, Mrs. Wei was pouring a cup of tea for Aunt Gao with her own hands: "I have invited you several times, but they all said that you were not at home... What have you been doing these days? The quack doctors you invited, No one dares to give a definite statement, because of this matter, I am worried to death!"

Aunt Gao hurriedly took Madam Wei's tea, but did not answer Madam Wei's words, and said with a smile, "You really beat me."

Mrs. Wei said angrily: "Look at what you said, are you someone else? Without you, I would not be where I am today. I will never forget the kindness of your old man in my life!"

Aunt Gao laughed and said, "It's all about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds!"

Seeing that Aunt Gao didn't want to bring up the past, Madam Wei changed the subject tacitly, and said with a smile, "According to what you said, Xiyan's disease is really spoiled?"

Aunt Gao smiled slightly.

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup was poured into Maosheng. When I saw her, it was like seeing my life..." Mrs. Wei couldn't help complaining, "I can't say it, I can't shoot it, and I almost did it for my wife. My feet are watery. However, if there were not so many nuns and maidservants in the family, I’m afraid they would have poured water for washing their feet... Tell me, why did I teach such a troublesome person? First it was as hard as a rock, but now it’s better It's too soft to have bones..."

Aunt Gao smiled and comforted Mrs. Wei: "There is still a matter of fate between people!"

Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "I know that too, but their fate is too deep... If you really can't give birth, let me tell you the truth, I really don't know what to do! Maosheng If you don't say anything, you have already made up your mind, and you will guard her life and death, that temper..." At this point, Madam Wei shook her head involuntarily.

A teasing smile appeared on Aunt Gao's face: "In this regard, he can follow his father!"

When Mrs. Wei heard this, her face turned red.

Aunt Gao sighed slightly in her heart, remembering the first time she met Mrs. Wei.

In the blink of an eye, it's been almost 40 years... Mrs. Wei has also changed from a little girl who didn't know how to guard against others to a wily lady!
She couldn't help saying: "Let the two of them separate for a while, take this opportunity to take care of their bodies, and the matter of the heir will be a matter of course... I'm just a little worried about being pregnant..."

Mrs. Wei didn't understand what Aunt Gao meant.

She looked in the direction of Xianji Courtyard to the east and smiled coldly: "Auntie, don't worry... this time, I can figure it out, what kind of bullshit is the big picture, what is the hereditary title, it is not Maosheng's son, those who are not related to me It's irrelevant... even if the whole family was copied and beheaded, it didn't kill me... I don't care so much..."

* * * * * *
Chunli, located in the south of Yongzhou City, is a small town. It leans against Mushan Mountain in the north, with undulating terrain, and faces the Pinghai Sea in the south, with hundreds of islands crouching. It is a very beautiful place.

Aunt Gao's house in Chunli is located at the foot of Mushan Mountain. It is built along the mountain. The courtyards with four entrances gradually become higher. When you reach the back room, it is the highest place in the courtyard.

Gu Xiyan lived next to the third house on the east side, and when she opened the window, she could see a beach, shining like gold under the sun.

Liu Meier exclaimed, "It's so beautiful!"

Gu Xiyan nodded, and said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I didn't think so much at the time, so I called you out of the house rashly..."

"Why do you always mention this?" Liu Meier smiled, "We two sisters, if you don't ask me to accompany you at this time, who else can you look for! Besides, I have nothing to worry about because I have Qiugui to take care of you. Yes, I just came out with you to get some air... You don't know, the old lady is okay, my mother-in-law, who came from a humble background, but she likes to put her mother-in-law's score in front of me, it's a good thing you called me Come out, otherwise, I'm afraid I will suffer from illness in front of her!"

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, and she said: "Why don't you just open a mansion in Yongzhou... In this way, we can also get together often!"

When Liu Meier heard this, her eyes brightened, and she said, "Why didn't I think...Xiyan, go tell the majesty, if you come forward, she will definitely promise us to come to Yongzhou to open the mansion..."

The two were talking, and Yun Chang lifted the curtain to enter, and she held a pair of soft shoes in her hand. After bowing her knees to salute, she handed the soft shoes to Gu Xiyan, and said with a smile: "Aunt Gao said, let you wear them The shoe walks on cobblestones for an hour a day."

Gu Xiyan took it and tried it on her feet: "This sole is too thin, walking on pebbles...these feet don't hurt to death."

Yun Shang smiled and said: "The last time I made it, Aunt Gao said it was too thick, this time I specially showed it to Aunt Gao..."

Just as he was talking, Hongyu came in with a small bamboo basket, and from a distance, he could smell a stench.

Liu Mei'er quickly covered her nose, said with a smile: "Quick, show it to me, I've never seen it before!"

Hongyu saluted the two with a smile, and took the things over.

Rough hard shell, dark brown spots, flashing purple-blue light, looks very dirty.

Liu Meier showed a "disgusting" expression: "You, you still want to eat this!"

Gu Xiyan was taken aback when she saw it.

Aunt Gao prescribed a prescription some time ago, and she wanted to mix the "nuanyu pill" she ate with sea ear juice.It's just that Qi Maosheng had never heard of this Haier, and later he asked someone about it, and they said that Gaochang had such a thing.He sent Siping to do it.Last night, Siping rushed over from Gaochang, and this morning, Liu Meier clamored to see it.

Why does this sea ear look like an abalone?
Gu Xiyan said: "Where's Siping? Let him come."

Hongyu told the little girl outside the door to call Siping.

Liu Meier frowned: "Well, how can this be done!"

Hongyu was also a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't know, I will take it to Aunt Gao later, let's see what she says to do!"

"Is Aunt Gao still free?" Liu Meier asked.

Hongyu nodded, and said: "I asked Yanhong to look at it, and said that there are still a few people waiting in the room, and I guess they won't be able to make it for a while."

There are often people who come to see a doctor in the name of Aunt Mu Gao, and sometimes there are people who kneel at the gate of her house and cannot get up, so although Aunt Gao is said to be honored, she is actually very busy every day.

After a while, Siping came, and Gu Xiyan asked him: "Gaochang, does anyone eat sea ears?"

"Yes!" Siping said, "Not only are there, but they are also rare. The ones I brought back were all selected by Yuan Zongbing himself, and he said they were the best. Take a look!"

Gu Xiyan smiled coquettishly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen to cook something delicious."
