Value peace

Chapter 64

Gu Xiyan opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Qi Maosheng chuckled and said: "The strangest thing is that your family's heirs are difficult, but girls are suitable to have children in their husband's family. I still remember that the Queen Suzhuang Gu during the Li family in the Ping'an Dynasty gave birth to eight princes successively. Among all the queens The one with the most children..."

Gu Xiyan said in surprise: "Also, there is still such a thing..."

Qi Maosheng seemed to think of something, and pondered: "Perhaps, your sister is not as favored in the palace as your family imagined...need to rely on external forces..."

Gu Xiyan already understood Qi Maosheng's unfinished words, she frowned and said: "Then, wouldn't Zuo Xiaoyu be more likely?"

"That's not necessarily true." Qi Maosheng said with a smile, "After all, his background is too weak, and the imperial concubine may prefer the Jiang family."

Gu Xiyan showed a look of longing: "You said that if I really marry Jiang Xinglin, can you convince him to let me bring my dowry and divorce three years later..."

Qi Maosheng smiled: "Even if he agrees, Old Master Jiang will not agree...Don't think about it...I think it might be easier to start with your sister."

Gu Xiyan looked at him puzzled: "I really think it's too difficult to start from her. I can't find any clues about her at all, and I can't judge her real intention and purpose..."

Qi Maosheng pondered.

Gu Xiyan also rested her elbow and rested her chin, thinking about something on her mind.

After a brief silence, Qi Maosheng said: "If it doesn't work, you can marry the prince. That person is not bad, and is about the same age as you..."

"I don't want to be someone's concubine!" Gu Xiyan muttered in a low voice, "At worst, I'll run away again..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qi Maosheng reprimanded her again with an ugly expression on his face, "Do you know what the world is like outside? There are mines everywhere in the cold land, the damage is serious, and it is no longer possible to grow crops. All the farmers have gone to the mines to work as miners. In the mines You can earn less than two pennies by drilling for a day. Nine out of ten girls in the Qin Building of the Chu Pavilion in Shengjing are from Liangdi, and they are called Liangnu..." At this point, he paused, "You look good, don't go outside Run around, be careful of being abducted..."

ah!Does that mean I'm pretty?
All women have vanity, especially when praised by a somewhat indifferent man like Qi Maosheng, Gu Xiyan's mood becomes unreasonably happy!The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but Qi Maosheng added another sentence: "I think you should read less crooked books by Li Chaoyang..."

Gu Xiyan stuck out her tongue playfully, and muttered in her heart: How is that possible, he and I are both time-travelers!
Qi Maosheng said with a sullen face, "Did you hear clearly?"

"Got it!" Gu Xiyan whispered.

Qi Maosheng continued to sulk: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Xiyan was annoyed: "Why am I talking nonsense, I couldn't get along with those people. Look, I just said something about not being a concubine, and you made a sullen face, as if I owed you money... ...But who is willing to be a concubine for any woman, let alone the concubine of the prince, when the time comes, she will be in a dilemma, giving birth to a daughter has no status, and giving birth to a son will touch other people's interests... It's hard to be both, everyone Can't stay out of it..."

Qi Maosheng had blue veins in his head, and after a while he said: "In this case, why not just marry Yuzhi... I watched him grow up, and he is clean and self-respecting, and the people in the house are also clean...with me Look, I will not wrong you..."

Are you my dad?Take care of me so much!
She stared at him with wide eyes.

When Qi Maosheng saw Gu Xiyan glaring at him, his face became cold and angry.

Seeing Qi Maosheng like this, Gu Xiyan felt a chill in her heart, blinked her eyes, and tears fell down like pearls.

Qi Maosheng's face became more and more gloomy, and he said after a long while: "Don't cry! I assure you, as long as you have a son, Yuzhi will not take concubines, that's all right!" There was so much helplessness in his words.

You are talking nonsense!Gu Xiyan slandered in her heart.It is simply that the way is different without seeking, and it is useless to talk more.

Gu Xiyan didn't bother to pay attention to her, she curled her lips.

Qi Maosheng stood up with a "thump": "What are you thinking?" A pair of cold eyes stared at her like knives.

Gu Xiyan's heart trembled, and for some reason, she said a word: "I, I won't be your niece and daughter-in-law!"

Qi Maosheng was dumbfounded.

For some reason, seeing Qi Maosheng like this, Gu Xiyan felt happy in her heart, but she said coldly, "Let me kowtow and serve you tea every time I see you, don't even think about it."

Qi Maosheng's eyes flickered, his expression was serious, and he looked weird.

Gu Xiyan felt that discussing her own future with this person was like talking to a chicken, completely unreasonable.She decided to change the subject and said, "Why do you always talk about me? What about you? Tell me about you!"

Qi Maosheng was stunned for a moment, unconcealable surprise flashed in his eyes, and the word "Chuan" was immediately twisted between his brows.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan immediately became interested.

He must not have remarried, has he not forgotten Ye Zisu?

Gu Xiyan blinked her big obsidian-like eyes, and said playfully, "What about you? Who else is in your family?" It was a bit embarrassing for him.

Sure enough, Qi Maosheng's eyes showed a rare look of worry: "My wife passed away... I have a daughter who is five years old today..."

Call Qi Hongluan!
Gu Xiyan added in her heart.

Qi Maosheng's face showed sadness: "It's been like this for a long time, so we should make a marriage for her, so as not to..."

Gu Xiyan knew what he meant, if he couldn't go back, Qi Hongluan would become an orphan.Without the protection of their parents, the fate of the child can be imagined.

Her mood suddenly fell, and she comforted Qi Maosheng: "No...you will be able to return to Yandi safely!"

Qi Maosheng lowered his head and sighed lightly.

"Otherwise, don't go back." Gu Xiyan said hesitantly, "Help me take care of the manor left by my mother. After a few years, the rumors will not be so tight, and then I will take my daughter over..."

"You, you asked me to fake my death!" Qi Maosheng said in a huff, "That's absolutely impossible!"

Gu Xiyan laughed.That's right, how could the second son of the dignified Yan Guogong be cheated to death and become the steward of the manor under his name.Back then, didn't he also laugh at Ye Zisu and Fang Shaoqing?

In the fire stone, she suddenly had an idea: "Master Qi, I have an idea."

Qi Maosheng looked at her in surprise.

Gu Xiyan said excitedly: "Use a coffin, use a coffin to send you out."

Qi Maosheng objected: "No, if I were Zuo Xiaoyu, I would definitely open the coffin for inspection."

"No, no, no." Gu Xiyan said, "Put you under the corpse. Well, I mean, the coffin is usually very heavy and thick. They may open the coffin for inspection, but they can't turn over the corpse. Get up and knock on the bottom of the coffin to see if there are any Tibetans. We will make a mezzanine inside the coffin, and you will lie in the mezzanine...it will be safer, and we don't have to ask the Liu family for help..."

"Wait!" Qi Maosheng's eyes flashed strangely, "I'll think about it." After speaking, Qi Maosheng closed his eyes and gently leaned against the bed beside Gu Xiyan to meditate.

Gu Xiyan was so calm that she didn't dare to disturb her, she stared at Qi Maosheng quietly.

Qi Maosheng is really handsome.He is tall and straight, with a tough and resolute temperament, giving people a very "manly" feeling, especially when he is silent, he has a restrained sharpness, which can be opened up, like, like a famous sword hidden in a box, There is a kind of understated beauty.

The room was quiet, Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng with her elbows, the atmosphere was quiet and warm.

After a while, Qi Maosheng opened his eyes. His dark eyes were bright and warm. Gu Xiyan was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "How?"

Qi Maosheng said: "This plan can be tried." There was a hint of joy in his voice.

"That's good, that's good!" Gu Xiyan let out a long breath, and was also very happy. This idea of ​​hers should be perfect in the hands of someone like Qi Maosheng.She hesitated: "How about we do it ourselves!"

Qi Maosheng understood what Gu Xiyan meant, and said with a smile in his eyes: "It's really hard to find a dead person!"

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan just thought of the key person in her plan, and she couldn't help blushing, "Yeah, it's really hard to find."

The two couldn't help but smile at each other.

The air is full of melting smell, like the aroma of candy, making people sweet from the bottom of the heart to the tip of the tongue.

After tonight, it's time to say goodbye!
Gu Xiyan felt sorry for her, and told him: "Be careful tomorrow. If the situation is wrong, immediately walk through the woods next to Dicui Pavilion to Mr. Huang's. The garden over there has been leased to people from the Longevity Class for the past two years. They are working, they have a lot of people, especially during this period of rehearsing new plays, and they have invited some famous actors. I think those people must bring their own servants or something. Although you don’t look like a servant, you can It’s okay to pretend to be a coachman or something…”

Qi Maosheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he was a little disapproving of her arrangement.

Gu Xiyan chose to turn a blind eye and continued nagging: "Don't run into the inner courtyard, our family is poor, there are few servants, and the place is deserted, and it is clear how many ants crawled out..."

Qi Maosheng laughed: "I see that the inner courtyard of your house is very loose..."

Gu Xiyan blushed: "The house is really too big!"

Qi Maosheng said worriedly: "Don't mess around..." He said, he stuffed the jade pillar private seal into Gu Xiyan's hand, "If I can return to Yandi safely, I will definitely help you If in case I...you take this private seal to find Yuzhi, he is the next heir to Duke Yan, and will definitely take good care of you...You, also help me take good care of my daughter..."

How is it like a parting last word!

Sadness rushed to the apex of my heart like a tide.

Gu Xiyan burst into tears.

Qi Maosheng, a handsome man who cared about him in his own way...

"Okay, okay! Don't cry!" Qi Maosheng said pretending to be relaxed, "It's one thing for you to take care of my daughter, but you are not allowed to read those crooked books to her, and you are not allowed to instill her with those messy opinions, um, listen Is it clear..."

Gu Xiyan nodded with a forced smile...

"Also, don't run out alone. Go to the mighty bodyguards in Shengjing and let them escort you to Yandi... You will pass through Jindi on the way, it's very unsafe... In recent years, the gentry of Jindi have annexed a lot of land , there are a lot of refugees, and there are bandits haunting in broad daylight...don't take my words as wind..." Qi Maosheng spoke softly, and Gu Xiyan felt sorry for her.

At this moment, there was a sound of light footsteps outside.

The two stood there silently at the same time.

Gu Xiyan raised her head.

It turned out to be dawn.

The two looked at each other.

"Girl, girl!" There was a soft cry.

It was Moju's voice.

The two of them restrained their breath at the same time, not daring to make the slightest move, like thieves about to be bumped into by their master, with a bit of panic expression on their faces.
