Value peace

Chapter 273

The first heavy snow had just fallen in Yongzhou City. Brother Tun put on a thick padded jacket and was wrapped up like a small cotton ball. After tossing and turning, he couldn’t sit up as quickly as before. He was lying on the kang exhausted. Going up, he grabbed his big head wearing a cotton square hat and yelled at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan smiled and picked up Brother Tun and sat on her lap, straightened his hat that was tilted to one side, and said with a smile: "Let's rest for a while, and then turn over after a while."

Brother Tun was attracted by a gold-plated button on Gu Xiyan's skirt, and he couldn't let go of it with his white and tender fat hands, he insisted on passing it to his mouth.

Gu Xiyan smiled and broke his hand: "You have milk and vegetable soup, why do you feel like you have been starved for 800 years..." While speaking, I suddenly felt a cold breath Come in.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Qi Maosheng with snowflakes hanging on his hair.

"Maosheng!" Gu Xiyan shouted in surprise, "Why did you come back so soon..."

Qi Maosheng first leaned over and touched Brother Tun's little head: "Why did he grow so big all of a sudden!" There was emotion in his voice.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly smiled and handed Brother Tun to Qi Maosheng's arms.

Brother Tun looked at his father curiously with his big sleek eyes.

Qi Maosheng also stared at Brother Tun with staring eyes, but he didn't reach out to hug the child, instead his eyes revealed a look of awe.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing, hugged Brother Tun in her arms again, and called Chunxiu to fetch water for Qi Maosheng to wash his face.

By the time Qi Maosheng had changed his clothes and came out after combing, a table of vegetables had already been placed on the kang.

On the road for several days, Qi Maosheng drank cold water and ate dry steamed buns on the road. Seeing hot water and hot soup, with his wife and children sitting next to him, he naturally twitched his index finger and drank a bowl of chicken soup on the kang.

Brother Tun sat on his mother's lap, staring blankly at the wolf-eating man in front of him, then lost interest after a while, began to wriggle his little body, and hummed impatiently.

Qi Maosheng just took a bite of a big steamed bun, when he heard Brother Tun moaning there, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with him?"

Gu Xiyan changed Brother Tun to sit on the other side, and said with a smile: "Every day I walk around with Mrs. Wei, and if I don't go out for a walk for a day, I feel uncomfortable, and I'm arguing to go out again."

Qi Maosheng looked at the snow outside the window: "What are you doing outside in this weather? Let him play indoors."

Gu Xiyan was amused by Qi Maosheng's serious tone: "Come on, you come and tell him!" As she said, she helped him stand in front of the kang table with Brother Tun's armpit.

Qi Maosheng looked at his son who was dancing his limbs happily in front of him, and said with a wry smile, "Aren't you embarrassing me?"

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "You know it's embarrassing... He doesn't care about you, he can do whatever he wants... He has a big temper..." Just as he was speaking, Brother Tun lifted his foot and stepped on the side of the kang table , With a "crash", the two plates fell to the ground, and the oil soup was scattered all over the floor.

Brother Tun was slightly startled, then grinned happily.

Looking at the maid who was packing things in front of the kang, Qi Maosheng said helplessly: "You just let him make trouble like this."

"What do you mean by letting him make trouble like this?" Gu Xiyan retorted dissatisfiedly, "Isn't this an accident... I saw you coming back just now, I was only interested in being happy, didn't I pay attention!"

Brother Tun didn't care about these things, and jumped up and down in Gu Xiyan's arms like a little frog that just wanted to climb out of the well, making a "woo-woo" sound, very impatient.

"What happened to him?" Qi Maosheng looked at his son puzzled.

Gu Xiyan laughed: "It's nothing, I just don't like sitting here, I want to play around." Then, he took a rattle drum to tease Brother Tun, who was immediately attracted by the rattle drum, and listened quietly After a while, he stretched out his hand and snatched the drum from Gu Xiyan's hand, and shook it in his hand, making a monotonous "dongdong" sound.

On the kang, on the Duobao grid, there were children's toys in bits and pieces. Gu Xiyan sat in it, teasing the children with warm eyes, and picked up the rattle drum that Tun had thrown on the kang. Got up and handed it to him, Brother Tun threw the drum on the kang again, Gu Xiyan picked it up and handed it to him... Always with infinite patience, Brother Tun smiled brightly with his little face raised.

Qi Maosheng felt so warm in his heart, he couldn't help stretching out his big hand to touch Gu Xiyan's face: "Xiyan, you've lost a lot of weight!"

Gu Xiyan stuffed the rattle drum into Brother Tun's hand again, "Really?" She couldn't help touching her cheek.

During this period of time, I practiced the movements taught by Bao Niang after dinner every night, and it seemed that it had some effect.

Qi Maosheng took the opportunity to hold her hand, caressing the delicate and white back of his hand carefully: "The face is so sharp!"

Gu Xiyan's eyes were bright and her smile was charming: "This is how to bring up children!"

Apology flashed across Qi Maosheng's eyes.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing, her eyes were bright, like fireworks in the night sky, bright and gorgeous: "Come here!"

Qi Maosheng was startled: "What?"

Gu Xiyan grabbed Qi Maosheng by the lapel and took him over, kissed him on the cheek.

"My fool Maosheng."

After speaking, I couldn't help laughing again.

Brother Tun didn't know why, as if he felt his mother's joy, he flicked his two calves excitedly, bouncing up and down in his mother's arms.

Looking at his happy wife and cheerful son, Qi Maosheng felt as gentle as bathing in the warm sun.

How can such a warm moment not be missed.

Qi Maosheng held Gu Xiyan's hand, and looked at her with bright eyes: "Xiyan, I will take care of the marriage. Don't worry..."

Gu Xiyan smiled slyly: "I know!"

What Qi Maosheng never forgets is to break free from Xizhao's shackles and freely decide his own future.If there was no other way, Maosheng would definitely not agree to this marriage.If things really got to that point, I should stand firmly behind Maosheng, just like Maosheng stood firmly behind me when I was unable to have children.

She said it again sternly: "I listen to you!"

Qi Maosheng was slightly stunned, and was about to say something, but there was already a report from outside: "Master Guo, the third master is here!"

As soon as Gu Xiyan carried the child off the kang, Qi Xiao strode in.There was a rare coldness in his expression.Seeing Brother Tun who was screaming, his expression softened slightly and he patted Brother Tun's head.

Qi Maosheng entertained him: "Sit down!"

Qi Xiao sat on the kang and told Gu Xiyan: "Sister-in-law, bring me a pair of chopsticks...I haven't eaten yet."

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

It's just after lunch time, how could Qi Xiao not eat, maybe he wants to tell himself to avoid it!
Gu Xiyan sighed, and carried her son to the west room next door.

The two brothers didn't know what they said, Qi Maosheng quickly came out and called Gu Xiyan, "I'm going to Qinyuan, I won't come back for dinner tonight", when Gu Xiyan rushed out, Qi Maosheng and Qi Xiao's backs Has disappeared in the vast snow.

* * * * * *
Although he believed in Qi Maosheng, no one knew what the result would be.

After Qi Maosheng left for a while, Mrs. Wei came over, and she also had a rare dignified expression.

"Maosheng is back? What did he say?"

"Yeah!" Gu Xiyan stopped Brother Tun who was going straight to Mrs. Wei, "I went to Qinyuan with Qi Xiao, and I don't know what the result will be!"

Mrs. Wei gave Gu Xiyan a blank look, and quickly hugged Brother Tun in her hands: "Why are you stopping Brother Tun..."

Gu Xiyan hurriedly laughed and said, "Talking about business, I'm afraid the children will quarrel!"

As soon as Brother Tun got on Mrs. Wei's body, he immediately turned around and ran towards the door.

"Brother Tun, you are the most obedient, when did you ever quarrel with someone!" Madam Wei said disapprovingly, and then looked at Brother Tun with a twisted arms, "Are you going to play with grandma... Let me say a few words to your mother, and we'll go!" After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Xiyan seriously, "You send someone to inquire about the situation and see what's going on... If it doesn't work, you should decide on countermeasures early ...Okay, okay, okay, let's go, let's go..." The last sentence was addressed to Brother Tun who was screaming in her arms.

Mrs. Wei hugged Brother Tun and went to Huaiyuan, while Gu Xiyan waited for the result in Guiyuan alone as if sitting on pins and needles.

In Qinyuan, everyone expresses their opinions.

The seventh uncle was full of excitement: "Maosheng, Xizhao is not easy to provoke, you have to be careful!"

"Third Uncle, what you said is too serious." Fourth Uncle Qi Bing said disapprovingly, "Xizhao is amazing, but our land of Yan is not the old Amon. Today, a princess was wronged to marry into the Duke’s mansion as a wife? Speaking of this, I am amazed. The emperor only has one princess, and she is not yet one year old. What kind of princess are they marrying? In my opinion, it is nothing at all A princess is just a woman who was picked up anywhere, and married after being given a title, Maosheng, this kind of woman, who doesn't know her roots, don't mess with her..."

When the fourth uncle said this, for some reason, Qi Maosheng felt happy.

Back then, the fourth uncle also asked a woman to say that he was a niece...it was the same thing.

The third uncle nodded in praise and said: "Yeah... isn't she called a princess? You have to bring a lot of people when you marry. In my opinion, the place of Yan Guogong's mansion is too small, why not set up another princess mansion outside the mansion Well, let her live there, if you don’t go, she can ask the nuns to tie you up forcibly... In this way, everyone will live in peace and have their own leisure.”

The seventh uncle snorted coldly, and said: "Is there any need for such a large construction project? I think, let Maosheng's daughter-in-law be more generous, and let her live in the Dexin Courtyard...Please invite Aunt Gao Come back to take care of Yanxi's affairs, as long as she doesn't have a son, what kind of strange things can she do!"

The third uncle hesitated: "Is this okay? Anyway, the other party is Xi Zhaolai's princess, no more than a noble girl. If something happens, I'm afraid there will be troubles!"

The second uncle looked at the third uncle contemptuously, and said: "To make waves, I think Xizhao wants us to make waves in Yandi. What I mean is, it's better to fight with Xi Zhaoming like we did with Gaochang." Lost, we are great and hid in Gaochang. Gaochang is not bad, and the shipping business over there has made a fortune...Maosheng, speaking of it, I happen to have something to tell you, I want to go How about planting iron trees over there, say hello to Yuan Zehuan, and ask him to introduce me to some businessmen in Gaochang?"

Uncle Wu looked at his second brother dumbfoundedly, and said, "Now we are discussing the matter of Xizhao's marriage, but you are now talking about business matters. I see, this matter I still have to listen to Maosheng, no matter what, now he is in charge..."
