Value peace

Chapter 71

All kinds of possibilities generate infinite reverie, sometimes warm and caring, sometimes cold and alienated, making Gu Xiyan live in a trance, but time did not stop because of this, but stopped at July at a speed that Gu Xiyan couldn't detect On the morning of the thirteenth.

Ding Cuiniang brought even worse news: Qi Yuzhi and those masters have disappeared!

Gu Xiyan was burning with anxiety, but she didn't dare to show it, she said with a smile: "Then we can only think of other solutions after the July [-]th celebration."

Ding Cuiniang hesitated and said: "Miss, you should come up with a solution earlier. I heard that Qi Ye's younger brother is still locked in the prison in Yandi, and his life and death are unknown."

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised by Ding Cuiniang's frank words, but she still said "thank you" sincerely.

Ding Cuiniang retreated silently.

Huilan came over to ask her for instructions: "Girl, it's still summer. Although we need to clear out the winter clothes, we can wear a jacket in Shengjing's winter. I think these fur coats should be put in the box first. If it snows today It’s not too late to take it out.”

Gu Xiyan casually took the black fox fur coat that shone like a needle point after shaking it off, with a bleak smile on her face: "It didn't snow last winter, let's take out the winter clothes to dry in the sun!" After finishing speaking , she turned around and told Mo Ju: "You can go out with me for a walk, Huilan and Xinghong are here to clean up!"

Mo Ju responded, and followed Gu Xiyan out of Wuyuan on tiptoe.

Whelan stared at Mo Ju's back for a long time with a cold expression.

The two of them walked silently in the inner courtyard of the Gu Mansion one after the other, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Dicui Pavilion in Xiuhe Garden.Gu Xiyan stood under the magnolia tree and stared blankly at Dicui Pavilion, her eyes were unfocused and her expression was blank.

Mo Ju stood behind her, bowed his hands respectfully and remained silent.

The two of them just stood there quietly, the colorful flowers and beautiful scenery had nothing to do with them, they were just a landscape standing here, accompanied by the century-old tree in silence...

Gu Xiyan's mouth seemed to contain a gallbladder, the bitterness traveled from the taste buds to the stomach, and then from the stomach to the limbs, gradually unable to distinguish the taste.On that same hot summer day many years ago, I flew to that coastal city for the first time in my life. I looked down upon the girl with a haughty and reserved attitude, and said indifferently: "I see..." and then took off the platinum ring on his hand. Throw it on the dining table, and turn around with no regrets.

At that time, there was a raging fire burning in my heart, it was the anger after being cheated; now, there is also a raging fire burning in my heart...Qi Maosheng, Qi Hao...Tomorrow, you must appear, must appear... You haven't given me an explanation, so you can't just leave inexplicably like this...

The summer sun was getting hotter and hotter. Mo Ju felt that her hair was wet, and beads of sweat appeared from her temples from time to time. She looked at Gu Xiyan anxiously, and reminded softly, "Girl, it's almost time for lunch!"

After a long while, Gu Xiyan said "oh", then came back to her senses, and said in a daze, "Then, let's go!"

Mo Ju looked at Gu Xiyan's blushing cheeks, and led her back to Wuyuan through the shade.

When Huilan saw her, she blamed Mo Ju for not taking good care of Gu Xiyan, and boiled water to wash Gu Xiyan's hair, bathe and change her clothes.

Mo Ju smiled wryly, without making a sound, and helped carry the water.

They were busy here, Aunt Qin, accompanied by Nanny Tian, ​​suddenly came to visit Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan packed up and everyone sat down, Aunt Qin explained why she came.

It turned out that Aunt Qin had already found a house in Tongyifang near Dongshi, but it was difficult to move during this period of Beijing's lockdown, and they would move after tomorrow's celebration.Today, I came here to say hello to Mrs. Gu and thank her for taking care of me during this time, and I came to say goodbye to Gu Xiyan. She won't be here on the day of the move.

Gu Xiyan sat there for a while, then asked, "Is there any news about Mr. Huang?"

Aunt Qin smiled wryly: "No."

Gu Xiyan was silent for a long while, and said quietly, "Colorful clouds are easy to disperse, glass is fragile", with a very sad look, Aunt Qin also felt it, and forced a smile on her face: "Young lady said a good sentence. Drama!"

For a while, she was relatively speechless.

Aunt Qin sighed, got up and said goodbye.

Duan Niang sent Aunt Qin out. Aunt Qin walked to the door of Wuyuan and looked back. She stood there for a while looking at Wuyuan, which was full of shade, and said softly to Duanniang: "Please tell the girl, I don't thank you for your kindness. If it's of any use People who get our longevity class, just open their mouths."

Duan Niang sneered in her heart.Immeasurable Life Buddha, it's good that you don't need the talents of your longevity class in your life!But there was a friendly smile on his face: "Thanks to my aunt, I will definitely bring this sentence with you. The girl still has something to do, so I won't send it far away."

Aunt Qin left Wuyuan sadly, Duanniang turned back to the house, gave Mo Ju and the others a wink, and the girls retreated knowingly, Duanniang quietly said to Gu Xiyan: "Tell Madam as you ordered. Now, Madam asked me to say hello to the girl, and if the girl has no objection, I will let Nanny Tian choose two rooms from home to accompany her."

Only then did Gu Xiyan realize that she still had a lot of things to do.She cheered herself up and said, "Duanniang, I want Mo Ju to go with you. This girl is thoughtful and has her own opinions. If there is anything you need, there is someone beside you who can discuss it."

Duanniang disagreed: "The girl didn't say anything about the matter here, and she dispersed everyone. Who will rely on when the time comes. Let Mo Ju follow the girl."

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her by then." Gu Xiyan also had her worries.

"It's better to explain clearly to Mo Ju." Duanniang said, "She is also a smart person, she will play by ear."

Gu Xiyan was shocked when she heard this, she used to always talk about the strength of the team, now such a big hurdle, how can she get over it on her own.Although it's a little risky to explain clearly to Mo Ju, but it's better than letting her be blind.A good subordinate who can know the goal and give full play to his ingenuity to achieve the goal, and Mo Ju has never lacked such talent.It's time to put her to use!

Gu Xiyan nodded: "Then there will be Aunt Lao!"

Mo Ju is still on duty at night.

The moonlight is as bright as jade.

Gu Xiyan clasped her fists on her chest and lowered her head to pray, Mo Ju could faintly hear her soft words: "...Holy Mother... please bless him to appear tomorrow...I am willing to believe in you for the rest of my life..." After a long time, Gu Xiyan Made a sign of the cross on his chest.

Mo Ju looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise.

Girl, girl is actually a Christian...

Gu Xiyan raised her head and smiled at her, with a slight worry on her brows: "Mo Ju, Duan Niang has already told you!"

Mo Ju restrained her surprise and nodded.

Gu Xiyan said: "You have to think clearly. A person's life can be decided in an instant."

Mo Ju smiled and said, "I will listen to the girl."

Gu Xiyan looked at her with melancholy eyes, worry was written all over her face, and the chiming clock was ticking beside Mo Ju's ears, making the room even quieter.For the first time, Mo Ju showed calmness on her face. She half teased and half sincerely said: "There are a lot of people like us in every house and house. It's rare for a girl to see her as precious, and it's not in vain for me to live in this world." once."

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan laughed in shock.

Does this count as disregarding life risks in order to reflect personal value?

On July [-]th, the weather was fine. There was still a bit of mist when I got up in the morning, but it cleared up quickly.

Gu Xiyan felt her eyelids twitch violently when she woke up in the morning. She asked Mo Ju, "Is there a saying that 'the left eye jumps for money and the right eye jumps for disaster'?"

There is such a saying, but Mo Ju is a smart person. Although she doesn't know why Gu Xiyan is so abnormal these days, she knows that Gu Xiyan has been worrying about something happening. She said with a smile: " I haven't heard that."

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan ran to the mirror stand to look in the mirror. After a while, she waved to Mo Ju: "Come and see for me, is my left eyelid twitching or my right eyelid twitching?"

Mo Ju walked over and looked at it seriously, and then replied seriously: "Girl, I don't think the girl's eyelids are twitching!"

Gu Xiyan murmured after hearing this: "Could it be the effect of the heart."

After a while, Gu Xiyan hurried to the Xiuhe Garden again, picked a rose flower, stood by the flower bed and began to pluck the petals, one by one, saying "appear, do not appear, appear, do not appear" Appear...", when the last piece reads "Appear", she will smile happily, but in a blink of an eye she will frown again, saying "The probability is too small, I will try again", and then pick another flower and start Pulling out the petals, she said "don't appear, appear, don't appear..." until the last piece turned into "not appearing", she turned pale and said, "No, the first time I said 'appear' , the second time should also start with 'appearance', this time it is not counted..." After finishing speaking, I picked another flower, and started to pull it out while saying "appear, not appear..."

The path beside the flower garden is full of falling red...

In one morning, Gu Xiyan did not know how many such strange things she did.

During this period, Mo Ju was urged by her to go to the Chuihua Gate every once in a while to see if the spectator who was bought by Gu Xiyan with ten taels of silver had returned.

When Mo Ju ran to the hanging flowers for the fourth time, he saw Liu Zuocheng who was beaming with joy: "Oh, isn't this Miss Mo Ju?" ?”

Mo Ju didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed her knees to bow to Liu Zuocheng, and called out "Qi Ye", and said: "Miss is taking a walk in Xiuhe Garden!"

Liu Zuocheng smiled and said: "Then please tell me, Miss, that I have something urgent to see."

Mo Ju responded quickly and hurried ahead of Liu Zuocheng to report back to Gu Xiyan, who knew that Gu Xiyan's face changed drastically when she heard this, and she became uncertain.

Is it a blessing or a curse?

After a long silence, she murmured: "Then, let's meet each other!"
