Value peace

Chapter 108 Parents are short-sighted ([-])

The word "pain" immediately made Qi Maosheng understand, he hurriedly let go of Gu Xiyan, remembered the ginseng fruit he had swallowed, and cut another piece for Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan sized him up.

There is gentleness in the eyes, and the corners of the lips are slightly raised.

It's like this every time... I always look in a good mood afterward!
Gu Xiyan only focused on observing Qi Maosheng carefully, but she didn't notice that Qi Maosheng stuffed a piece of ginseng fruit in her mouth. She only came back to her senses when her mouth was full of sourness.

It turns out that ginseng fruit has such a taste, it is more sour than fresh lemon.

While swallowing her saliva, she said vaguely: "This is the legendary fairy fruit! It's so sour! Can I just keep it in my mouth? Can I eat it?"

Looking at Gu Xiyan's frowning face, Qi Maosheng smiled softly.

It's as cute as a little beast.

Is this guy so funny?

"Qi Maosheng!" Gu Xiyan scowled, and as soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed drastically.

Qi Maosheng also changed his face: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Gu Xiyan pointed to her mouth: "Swallow it in, swallow it in, it doesn't matter!"

When she heard the name of ginseng fruit, she thought of ginseng.My body is so weak now, if this ginseng fruit is the same as ginseng, if the deficiency is not replenished, will I lose my life because of it!
How can you not make her nervous.

Qi Maosheng laughed even harder: "It doesn't matter, this is a ginseng fruit that is more than a hundred years old, not a new fruit."

Gu Xiyan wondered, "What's the difference between them?"

"The 100-year-old ginseng fruit is the best, it is a good thing for nourishing yin and nourishing the body. The new fruit is hot in nature, and people in good health use it better." Qi Maosheng explained to her in detail, "Shen fruit does not like wind and avoids iron. , so it should be stored in an unpainted walnut box, and eaten with thinned bamboo strips instead of steel or the like, otherwise the cut surface will rot and the fruit will be useless.”

Thinking of her nervousness just now, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smiled embarrassingly.

Qi Maosheng saw her embarrassment, scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "There is a joint mountain beside the Ying River at the foot of Lianyun Mountain. At that time, my father only gave me five taels of silver per month, and Qi Xiao and I went to Mount Joint to pick ginseng fruits while we were resting, and then sold them in the name of Duke Yan's mansion...others sold them for fifty taels of silver. For one tael of silver, we can sell it for 1000 taels of silver or even one tael of silver. The owner of the medicinal material store told us about these medicinal properties. One year, we earned more than [-] taels of silver.”

Gu Xiyan's surprised lips parted slightly: "Are you with Qi Xiao? How old were you at that time?"

Qi Maosheng nodded with a smile: "The first time I sold ginseng fruit was when I was nine years old."

"Nine years old, go to pick ginseng fruits on the joint mountain where the mountains reach into the clouds?" Gu Xiyan stared.

It's really dark!At a young age, he already knew how to use the reputation of Duke Yan's mansion to blackmail him.

Qi Maosheng laughed: "Well. At that time, Qi Xiao and I were both in Yanbei Camp. Although we were servants there, most of the officers knew who Qi Xiao and I were, and what they did to us. They all turned a blind eye... However, later, Qi Xiao took the money to gamble with the officers in the military camp, and won all their New Year's bounties. My father found out, and this revealed the truth. Both Qi Xiao and I were punished by my father to wash the manger at the Lianyun Racecourse." Speaking of this, Qi Maosheng's expression was a little excited, "In winter, a drop of water turns into ice. I still I remember that the manager of the racecourse was Kang Bo. He didn't dare to let us wash the manger, so he secretly hired a few people to help us with the work. Qi Xiao and I had nothing to do, so we wandered around the racecourse. I met Cheng Jie, and he taught me how to tame wild horses..." His eyes gradually darkened, his voice became low, and there was a slight bitterness in his smile.

Horse, gloomy eyes, bitter smile...

Gu Xiyan's mind was spinning rapidly.

Could it be that it reminded him of Ye Zisu's miscarriage?

Curiosity touched Gu Xiyan's heart like a feather, and she concealed her uneasiness with a coquettish smile, and said, "Then have you ever tamed a wild horse?"

Qi Maosheng's tone of voice became a little blunt, and he answered "Tamed" very briefly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his face became a little blunt.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Gu Xiyan was very interested, her clear eyes sparkled, "Did you give birth to a baby horse?"

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan with complicated eyes, and said with difficulty: "No. He died later."

Gu Xiyan's intuition told her that this incident must have something to do with Ye Zisu's miscarriage, and Qi Maosheng was very sad at the moment.

Those speculations and doubts about him seemed to be very unreasonable.

She lovingly hugged Qi Maosheng: "What a pity!"

Qi Maosheng's body was a little stiff, and after a while, he hugged Gu Xiyan back.

Gu Xiyan didn't want to embarrass Qi Maosheng again, so she changed the subject: "Why did you suddenly decide to send us back to Yongzhou tomorrow?"

Qi Maosheng liked Gu Xiyan's words "back to Yongzhou" very much, and his body gradually softened.

With Xiyan by his side, he couldn't focus on the war as before. After a long time, something would happen.Now, it is a critical moment again, and he is not allowed to make any mistakes...

He answered irrelevant questions: "I arranged for Siping to send you back."

"Siping?" Gu Xiyan said nervously, "Then what should I do around you?"

In Qi Maosheng's heart, Gu Xiyan is the person he wants to marry, and of course she has to know some things.He explained: "I have four personal servants by my side, Yiping, Erping, Sanping and Siping. This time I am coming with Yiping and Siping. Siping is going back with you. I still have Yiping by my side!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Is there anyone called Wan Ping?"

Qi Maosheng was slightly startled, then thought about it seriously, and said, "There is no one called Wan Ping. But there is a man named Wan Fu over Qi Xiao in Suanmiao Hutong, who seems to be a dowry of my sister-in-law's natal family. Why do you ask this? "

Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing out loud, her sweet and glutinous voice was full of joy.

Qi Maosheng was puzzled and said: "What's the matter, you don't want a manager named Wan Ping."

Gu Xiyan fell into Qi Maosheng's arms with a smile.

Qi Maosheng was happy to see her, and he was also in a good mood: "What's the matter, it's just a name, change it to the one you like, and just call him Wanping."

Gu Xiyan laughed until tears came out.

The generation gap... it's a typical generation gap.

She smiled and said, "Let me tell you a story. There was a rich man who couldn't read and suffered a great loss. He thought that his son must be literate. He hired a gentleman for his son. On the first day, The gentleman drew a horizontal line on the paper and told the rich man's son that it was the word "one". The rich man's son was very smart and learned it quickly. The next day, the husband drew two horizontal lines on the paper and told the rich man's son , this is the word 'two', and the rich man's son learned it very quickly. On the third day, the master drew three horizontal lines on the paper..."

What Gu Xiyan told Qi Maosheng was the classic joke of "draw one horizontal line for one character, two horizontal lines for two characters, and ten thousand horizontal lines for ten thousand characters".

Well, it turned out that I was mocking myself!
Qi Maosheng looked at the little man who was overjoyed in his arms, his heart softened, he really didn't know what to do.He lightly bit Gu Xiyan's neck: "You naughty bastard!"

Gu Xiyan was a little itchy from his breathing, she gave him a blank look, and laughed.

Like a cheerful bird!

The corners of Qi Maosheng's eyes were slightly wet.

It turns out that I can also make Xi Yan so...happy!
With a change in mood, I feel better about everything I look at, and I feel confident in everything I do.

Therefore, Qi Maosheng made an action that he always wanted to do but never did.

He stretched out his hand and gently scratched Gu Xiyan's arm socket.

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan screamed, hugged her body, curled up into a ball, and glared at Qi Maosheng.

How old are you, and you still do such boring things.

Qi Maosheng laughed hahaha.

His tough face brightened like the sun.

Qi Yuzhi and Qi Maosheng look alike!

Gu Xiyan stared at him with wide eyes.

Qi Maosheng laughed even more cheerfully.

Gu Xiyan was angry.

Mini, I make you happy, I make you laugh!
Gu Xiyan rushed forward and scratched Qi Maosheng's limb socket.

The corners of Qi Maosheng's eyebrows lightly raised, there was nothing unusual about it, and he looked at Gu Xiyan with a smug look in his eyes.

how so?Isn't this guy ticklish?

Gu Xiyan was unwilling to admit defeat.

She rolled her eyes, lay softly in Qi Maosheng's arms, called "Maosheng" in Qi Maosheng's ear delicately, but quietly reached out her hand to Qi Maosheng's arm socket and scratched it gently.

Qi Maosheng was so heartbroken by Gu Xiyan's soft voice, he lost his mind, and immediately felt the soft little hand between his limbs, and he couldn't help laughing "hahaha".

"Qi Maosheng, you villain, you will bully me!" Gu Xiyan threw herself on him with a coquettish smile and scratched at random.

"Xiyan, Xiyan...don't be like this, don't be like this..." Qi Maosheng panicked and hid on the kang, which was not very spacious for him.

Well, if a tiger doesn't get angry, you think I'm a sick cat.

Gu Xiyan showed a smug smile after the trick was revealed.

The two of them frolicked on the kang like children.

Siping squatting under the window lattice only shook his head.

After a long time, the people in the house stopped.

They lay shoulder to shoulder, head to head on the kang, enjoying this warm and peaceful rest with peaceful expressions.

After a long while, Gu Xiyan turned over and leaned on Qi Maosheng's side with her elbows, looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "If, if Mrs. Wei doesn't recognize me, what should I do?"

Qi Maosheng raised his eyes and saw Gu Xiyan's delicate collarbone exposed by his slightly open skirt, and there was still a faint hickey mark on it.He became absent-minded, touched Gu Xi's radiant black hair with his thick palm, and said lightly: "So let Siping accompany you back. He will take care of it!"

A letter is not enough, and the personal servant will be sent back.

"Mrs. Wei, what does she usually like?" Gu Xiyan asked tentatively, with deep worry in her tone.

Qi Maosheng heard the fear in Gu Xiyan's words, smiled sideways and kissed the tip of her nose, and hugged Gu Xiyan, who was said to be very petite to him, on his body: "Don't worry about those things. I helped you settle down, Duan Yingluo will help you if anything happens, just take good care of your body... and wait to be my bride!"

I wish you all a happy Year of the Ox and your wishes come true!
