Value peace

Chapter 277 The Hot Summer (Part [-])

Gu Xiyan was slightly taken aback.

Although Liang Zhangzhu was often with them, if it wasn't for the holidays, she would not easily step into the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng modestly.

Qi Maosheng has just returned from Lingzhou, and has been leaving early and returning late these days. It is rare to return to Liyuan so early today...

While hesitating, he heard Qi Maosheng say: "Go quickly... I just happened to play with Brother Tun!"

Gu Xiyan felt a little guilty.

Just now I made up my mind to treat Maosheng well, but I left him behind in a blink of an eye.

Gu Xiyan smiled shyly, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and have a look, I'll be here right away."

Qi Maosheng nodded with a smile, and Gu Xiyan told Chunxiu: "Please invite the young lady of the Liu family to sit in the Nuan Pavilion!"

Chunxiu went away at the sound.

Gu Xiyan changed into another piece of clothes, and then went to the Nuan Pavilion.

In the past few years, Liang Zhangzhu has managed the work of the needle money team, and also managed the money exchange of private schools and orphanages. The beauty of sophistication faintly reveals a noble spirit.

Seeing Gu Xiyan coming in, she stood up and called out "Young Madam" with a smile.

Gu Xiyan saw a casket and a teacup on the table in front of her, and knowing that Taozhi had served her tea, she smiled and pointed at Xiudun behind her: "Young lady, please hurry up!"

Liang Zhangzhu sat down, Tao Zhi served Gu Xiyan tea again, Gu Xiyan said: "Young Mistress is here, but there is something important."

Liang Zhang said with a smile: "It's not an important matter... It's our aunt, please ask me to ask the young lady if you have anything to do."

Madam Gu?
Gu Xiyan was slightly taken aback.

Last year, Gu Panxi participated in the palace examination at the age of 13, and was nominated first, becoming Xia Guo's second "three yuan and first" champion, "father and son two champions", looking at the entire history of Xia Kingdom, this is the first time .At that time, not to mention Xizhao, even Gu Xiyan had heard of it in Yongzhou. For a while, Gu Panxi's name could be said to be a household name. It is said that Mrs. Gu was even named "Mrs. Ci'an" by the court.I don't know what it is, Mrs. Gu wants Liang Zhangzhu to ask herself from a thousand miles away?

"Young Madam, you're welcome, just be blunt!" Although Gu Xiyan tried her best to suppress the doubts in her heart, her eager tone still revealed the worries in her heart.

Liang Zhangzhu smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, Young Master Panxi is 14 years old this year, and he has reached the age of marriage. There are many people who ask someone to be a matchmaker, and our aunt and grandma have no idea, so I asked you to ask the young master Ma'am, let the young lady help you come up with an idea." After speaking, he was about to hand the box to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan took the box in surprise: "Let me make up my mind?"

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "Here is the situation of several girls' families. Our aunt said, let us show it to the young lady."

Gu Xiyan couldn't help sweating on her forehead: "How can I settle this kind of matter with just one word... I think it's better to let Panxi's grandfather and uncle make up their minds!"

Liang Zhangzhu said with a smile: "Panxi's grandfather wants to help Panxi hire the daughter of Mr. Sun of Songhe Academy, and Panxi's uncle, but wants to help Panxi hire the current crown prince Taibao, Wenyuange University scholar, and the Ministry of War. Shangshu Zuo Xiaoyu's daughter..."

"Left, Zuo Xiaoyu's daughter..." Gu Xiyan was tongue-tied.

How can this happen?

Can Zuo Xiaoyu's daughter get married?

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "Exactly...according to his Uncle Mantian, Master Zuo proposed this marriage on his own initiative. Moreover, Master Zuo also said that he has four daughters of the right age, and he can choose according to hope..."

Is Zuo Xiaoyu an ordinary person, even if she cherishes Panxi's talent and learning, she won't condescend to such an extent!

The alarm bell rang in Gu Xiyan's heart, and she hurriedly said: "I think I need to think about this matter carefully."

Liang Zhangzhu stood up: "In this case, I will obey the young lady's orders."

As soon as Gu Xiyan sent Liang Zhangzhu away, she hurried back to the house.

Qi Maosheng was patiently telling Brother Tun the story of "The Three Little Pigs". When he saw Gu Xiyan coming, he was relieved and said hurriedly, "Brother Tun, Mommy is here, let her tell you the story, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Tun immediately snatched the book from Qi Maosheng's hand and handed it to Gu Xiyan: "Mother, mother, tell me..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and kissed her son: "Didn't you say that Mommy's speech is not good?"

Brother Tun pouted.

Gu Xiyan hugged Brother Tun as if to comfort her, and at the same time said to Maosheng: "Maosheng, Zuo Xiaoyu wants to marry her daughter to Panxi... Tell me, what should I do!"

Qi Maosheng's pupils shrank, and there was a murderous look on his face.

Children's senses are the most sensitive. Brother Tun was so frightened that he threw himself into his mother's arms, secretly looking at his father from the corner of his eyes.

"Maosheng, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiyan patted Brother Tun on the back to comfort him.

"The marriage is settled?" Qi Maosheng took a deep breath, and the coldness on his body dissipated little by little.

"Not yet. He said he wanted me to help with an idea."

Qi Maosheng pondered and said: "Now Xizhao's political situation is unstable. Zuo Xiaoyu is already Fang Jixian's running dog. He is probably recruiting talents for Fang's family by doing this. This marriage cannot be taken lightly."

Gu Xiyan nodded: "I think so too... What are you talking about four daughters of the right age, choose as you wish... Given his status today, it's too humble..."

Qi Maosheng tapped the Kang table lightly with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Xiyan, now Xizhao, foreign relatives are in power... read history to learn from the present. Throughout the dynasties, there are only two endings, either to replace it, or to implicate it The Nine Clans...Although Pan Xi has high talents, he is young after all, I think it would be better for you to persuade Mrs. Gu not to be an official, but to stay in Songhe Academy and write books."

It seems that Qi Maosheng and Liu Sanduo are thinking of getting together, otherwise, Liu Sanduo would not want to hope to marry the daughter of a scholar.

Gu Xiyan was a little dismayed: "I don't know if there are any clues about the escape from marriage back then... I just hope that Panxi won't be implicated because of me..."

* * * * * *
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xiyan invited Liang Zhangzhu to talk about this matter: "...Maybe we are too worried... This matter, let Panxi's grandfather make up his mind!"

Liang Zhangzhu nodded again and again: "I already understand what Young Madam means, and I will bring the letter back to Shuzhou."

After talking about private affairs, Liang Zhangzhu brought up a business matter: "There is an Aunt Xu at the Jiufeng, who is not only outstanding in talent, but also noble in character, pure in heart, and very neat in her actions. I want to invite her to Yongzhou to help Manage the orphanage..." At this point, she hesitated a little.

Gu Xiyan thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it from Yandi? Or is it a Christian?"

"Both of them are fully accounted for. She has been doing volunteer work in the church, and she is from Xizhao." Liang Zhangzhu said with a wry smile, "It is said that Miss Xu, whose parents both died, once worked as a nun in the Shi family. Life is very difficult," Liang Zhangzhu said in a tone of regret, "She is determined not to marry, but she is willing to come forward to help us... She is the best candidate. Although her status is inappropriate, I still want to invite my wife Think about it, such a person is really rare."

As their affairs get bigger and bigger, the choice of people in charge becomes a problem.Fortunately, the sewing team said that the private schools and orphanages are not run in that way, and they must be patient, and there are people who have read a little and know the general.Some time ago, because of these, Gu Xiyan hurt her head, and mobilized everyone to actively recommend it.This is what Liang Zhangzhu said today.

The foster mother of the Shi family, a Christian believer... a long time ago will always flash in Gu Xiyan's mind.

Could it be the woman who sent Julan down the mountain that day?
Gu Xiyan murmured: "Why don't you let her come to see me someday, and I'll make a decision after I understand it."

Whether it is the sewing team, private school, or later orphanage, Gu Xiyan has one purpose, that is, although people from Yandi are the main ones, especially the management level, outsiders are rarely used.Today Gu Xiyan can let go, Liang Zhangzhu feels that he has gained a lot.

"I'm going to visit Jiufeng in two days... We gathered some clothes and food and prepared to send them to the church... At that time, I will talk to Ms. Xu and listen to her opinion!"

Hearing the meaning of these words, Gu Xiyan was slightly taken aback: "Miss Xu herself really wants to come to Yongzhou, doesn't she?"

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "Miss Xu said, after all, she is not from Yandi... But this girl, I have met several times, is really outstanding, and she is a lonely person, I really can't bear to see her." .”

Gu Xiyan thought of that thin figure and those bright eyes: "He is also a poor person!"

The two sighed, and Liang Zhangzhu got up and said goodbye with a smile: "This time I go to Jiufeng, I want to take the two children with me, mother-in-law, it's not as easy as it used to be, just leave as soon as you say, there are still children at home. There are a lot of things to prepare, so I will take my leave first.”

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised: "Are you still planning to bring the child there?"

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "They are spoiled and spoiled, they don't know the sufferings of the world, let them go and have a look, and cultivate a heart of doing good... Even though they think so, the child's father is not at ease, he insists on bringing Cui Niang and a group of followers with him. Hu..."

The two talked and laughed, Gu Xiyan sent Liang Zhangzhu away.

* * * * * *
Because of Gu Panxi's marriage, Gu Xiyan began to pay attention to Xizhao's movements. In mid-June, news of the emperor's death suddenly came from Shengjing.

"He should only be in his twenties this year, and he hasn't heard of any illness, so why did he suddenly pass away..." Gu Xiyan was very stunned.

Qi Maosheng was a little absent-minded with the spy.

Yang Yu suddenly died suddenly, and the imperial concubine Yu asked herself to be buried... How familiar is this plot!Xizhao Palace just likes doing this!
