Value peace

Chapter 65 Worry
Mo Ju yelled a few times, but no one answered, and left lightly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually going away, both of them breathed a long sigh of relief.

Hesitation flashed in Qi Maosheng's eyes: "I'm leaving, don't mess around!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiyan to answer, he pushed open the window and turned over, his thin and straight figure quickly disappeared into the thin In the thin morning mist.

Gu Xiyan chased after a few steps and then stopped, leaning against the half-opened window lattice in a daze for a while.

After a while, she turned around and called Mo Ju.

I didn't sleep all night, but I didn't feel tired.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly ate breakfast and went to Mrs. Gu to greet her.

She went early, and she couldn't think of anyone who was earlier than her.

Master Liu and Liu Zuocheng were already waiting there with smiles. Seeing Gu Xiyan, he sent Mrs. Gu out to make tea for her. Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to say "Dicui Pavilion", and Liu Zuocheng standing behind him After exchanging glances, Liu Zuocheng immediately stepped out of the room.

When Mrs. Gu came in again, she only saw Master Liu and Gu Xiyan talking happily.Gu Xiyan and Mrs. Gu chatted a few gossips, exchanged a few words with Master Liu, and left with an excuse.

Back in Wu Garden, only Mo Ju and Gu Xiyan's garden was quiet, and Gu Xiyan was restless, sitting quietly on the big couch in front of the window, as if listening to something.

Mo Ju felt strange, so she calmed down and listened, but she couldn't hear anything.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan smiled calmly, and told Mo Ju: "I'll go to bed and lie down for a while, you go to the guard garden and sneak out the door to see what Master Liu has done!"

Mo Ju nodded clearly, and assured her, "Don't worry, girl."

After Mo Ju left, Gu Xiyan stood alone for a while again, her expression gradually becoming sluggish, she yawned, got up and got ready to go to bed, who knew that when she got up, she fell to the ground lightly with her head heavy.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but wryly smiled, and she got up after a while, and got on the bed with light steps, randomly pulled the neatly folded quilt at the head of the bed and put it on her body, closed her eyes and regained her composure.

Qi Maosheng, Qi Yuzhi...Qi Maosheng, Qi Yuzhi, the two names repeatedly appeared in her heart.

Gradually, Gu Xiyan fell into a haze.She seemed to see Qi Maosheng's resolute face with worry, appearing in her eyes from a distance, and she urged her earnestly: "You have to help me take care of my daughter." Just as Gu Xiyan was about to answer, Qi Maosheng's face suddenly approached , looked at her with a smile as bright as the sun, with a radiant expression, sweeping away the dust and emaciation all over her face, she was almost ten years younger, with noble eyebrows, and said affectionately to Gu Xiyan: "My fair lady, good gentleman!" Huh..." with a suave and suave look.Gu Xiyan was shocked, when did Qi Maosheng become so frivolous?She exclaimed, "Who are you?" The man smiled and said, "I'm Qi Yuzhi." Gu Xiyan rubbed her eyes, and it turned out to be Qi Yuzhi. She eagerly stepped forward and pulled Qi Yuzhi's sleeve: "Where is Qi Yuzhi?" Where is Qi Maosheng..." Qi Yuzhi smiled and said: "Isn't he still in Shengjing?"...

Gu Xiyan woke up suddenly, sweating through her clothes.

The scorching sun outside was like fire, and someone beside me whispered "Second Miss, Second Miss".

Gu Xiyan called out "Qi Maosheng" blankly.

The person next to him said: "Where are you going, where is the girl going..."

Gu Xiyan slowly regained her senses, Mo Ju's delicate face appeared in her eyes, and she said hoarsely: "What time is it now?"

Mo Ju looked at the chiming clock beside the bed, and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, it's time for lunch."

Gu Xiyan was in a hurry, and said like a cannonball: "Why didn't you wake me up? I asked you to go and see what's going on with Mr. Liu. You can go and see?"

Mo Ju hurriedly smiled and said: "Go, go. Mr. Liu has been talking to Madam all morning, and now he is having lunch with Madam. I remembered the girl, so I brought the food box... As soon as I arrived, I heard The girl was talking in her sleep, saying 'where to go'..."

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up from the bed and ran towards Xiuhe Garden.

Mo Ju hurriedly chased after her.

Gu Xiyan arrived at Dicui Pavilion in a hurry, and hobbled up to the second floor.

The second floor was empty, even the broken cotton bed on the floor was gone.

If it wasn't for a clean piece of dust in the room, she would have wondered if people really lived here.

Mo Ju, who followed her upstairs, asked softly behind her, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiyan staggered to the window lattice on the west side of the second floor of Dicui Pavilion, stared at the ripped cloth flapping in the wind for a while, then stumbled downstairs.

The two returned to Wuyuan, Gu Xiyan had lunch with Mo Ju with a sullen expression, and asked Mo Ju to go to Madam Gu's to see what Master Liu was doing.Mo Ju wanted to clean up the bowls and chopsticks before going. Gu Xiyan wanted her to go and come back to collect the bowls as if she couldn't wait. Mo Ju was hesitating when she heard movement outside the door. She lifted the curtain and saw that it was Duan Niang And Xinghong are back.She hurriedly greeted her: "Auntie, have you had lunch yet?"

Duanniang's face was dusty, but she was in good spirits. She smiled and said, "I've used it, I used it at Madam's place. Miss, have you been doing well these two days? Have you had lunch yet?"

Mo Ju hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, "It's all good, all is good."

While talking, Gu Xiyan asked in the room: "But Aunt Duan is back!"

Mo Ju hurriedly raised the curtain and invited Duan Niang into the inner room.

When Duan Niang saw Gu Xiyan, she was taken aback.

She was listless, dispirited, and completely listless.

Duanniang stepped forward and hugged Gu Xiyan: "Girl, what's going on?"

Gu Xiyan forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. How was Beijing's security when you returned to the city?"

Duanniang said in a low voice: "It's still quite strict."

Gu Xiyan nodded absently: "Is there nothing unexpected?"

Duanniang smiled and said: "No, no." After finishing speaking, she told Mo Ju: "Hong Xing gets carsick, go and wait on Xing Hong!"

Mo Ju responded and helped Xing Hong out the door.

Duanniang then said: "Tuoniang and his wife are honest and honest. Look, there are 3000 taels in total, and the account books are all clear, even the money for the dried winter bamboo shoots collected in the garden is recorded on it... ..." As he spoke, he untied a blue cloth bundle in his hand, revealing a neat stack of account books and a few banknotes.

Gu Xiyan glanced at it with interest, and was playing with something in her hand.

Duanniang took a closer look and found that it was a small piece of jade.She smiled and said, "Yo, where did the girl get this thing?"

Gu Xiyan retracted her hand, and said softly, "It's a gadget." After speaking, her eyes showed confusion.

Duanniang didn't know, so she was about to say something when Mo Ju came in and asked for instructions to bring tea in. Duanniang quietly pointed to Gu Xiyan who was like a wandering mind. Mo Ju knew what Duanniang meant and shook her head.Seeing this, Duanniang thought for a while, and then told Gu Xiyan about going to Qixia Temple: "... I gave all the Geng stickers sent by the girl and the two families to Aunt Zhenling, and Aunt Zhenling said that today the girl is red. The Luan star is moving, it is the time to get married. There is no conflict between the birthdays sent by the two families and the girl's..."

Gu Xiyan looked sullen: "What did mother say?"

Duanniang smiled and said: "I went back as the girl ordered. Madam said to put it aside for now, and wait until I see the imperial concubine."

Gu Xiyan let out an "oh", and remained silent for a while.

Mo Ju poured tea for Duanniang and was about to go out, but Gu Xiyan suddenly raised her head, saw Mo Ju, and said sharply, "I want you to guard the garden, why are you still here?"

Gu Xiyan has always been kind to others, such harsh voices are rare, Mo Ju was taken aback, and said repeatedly at a loss: "I'll go right away, I'll go right away..." She hurriedly nodded at Duan Niang Nodding, he walked out of the room quickly.

Duanniang laughed and said, "What's the matter, girl? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Xiyan didn't respond to her words, she lay sideways on the bed, closed her eyes and said, "I'm a little tired, auntie, you've worked hard all the way, go and rest first!"

Duanniang hesitated, but Xinghong lifted the curtain and came in, and said softly: "Girl, Sister Huilan is here, she brought a bowl of bean cake from Qiqiaozhai, and she said she was here to thank you, so let us help dry the books... ..."

As soon as Xinghong finished speaking, Gu Xiyan sat up suddenly: "Is it Huilan, invite her in!"

Duanniang and Xinghong exchanged puzzled looks, Xinghong quickly lifted the curtain and invited Huilan in.

As soon as Huilan came in, Gu Xiyan asked, "Have you encountered any strange things along the way?"

Huilan gave a "puchi" laugh, and said, "Miss, how do you know that I encountered something strange when I came to your residence!"

Gu Xiyan's expression was both happy and worried, a little dazed.

"You don't know, when I drove to the intersection of Tongyifang, I met General Zuo who was checking there." Huilan said with a smile, "My driver is not sensible, and he used the banner of your house, but General Zuo has big hands. With a wave, we arrived all the way smoothly. Do you think this is strange... Last time, we beat our coachman, and it is said that he can't get out of bed until today!"

After hearing this, Duan Niang only looked at Gu Xiyan, but Gu Xiyan was expressionless, the excitement just now was gone.Huilan saw some clues and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Duanniang smiled covertly, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, the girl sprained her ankle and is feeling unwell!"

Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to say: "Yeah, my feet hurt a little."

Whelan hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, I will take my leave first."

Duanniang got up to see her off, but Gu Xiyan said politely: "Since you're here, stay a little longer, and it's not too late to go back after dinner."

Unexpectedly, Huilan immediately smiled and said: "If it is very good. I haven't gone to pay my respects to my wife yet!"

Gu Xiyan nodded absent-mindedly, lay down slowly, turned over, and turned her back to them, her body gave off a cold and alienated breath.

Xinghong smiled apologetically at Whelan, and accompanied her out the door.

Duanniang winked at Mo Ju, and Mo Ju said softly, "Girl, then you can rest, my aunt and I are going out."

Gu Xiyan let out a disconcerted "hmm".

Duanniang was still worried, she went to the door and looked back.

Gu Xiyan's shoulders, which were covered in emerald green and covered in frost and snow, were constantly trembling.

The two went out and stood under the umbrella-like tree in front of the house, whispering.

Duanniang looked worried: "Let's go, let's go to Dicui Pavilion to have a look."
