Value peace

Chapter 147
Gu Xiyan took the two maids out the door, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl scolding a woman in a low voice by the corner door leading to the kitchen.

The girl's appearance is more outstanding than that of Cuiyu and Yanhong, especially her temperament, which is soft and strong, with a sassy look, let alone in this time and space, even in the time and space where Gu Xiyan lives. Girls with this kind of temperament are also rare.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help asking: "Who is this?"

"This is Sister Hongyu." Yan Hong, who was following her, glanced at Cuiyu who was standing beside her with a smile, and said, "Madam doesn't know yet, we have two pieces of jade in Wei's residence, and one refers to Sister Hongyu." , and the other one refers to Sister Cuiyu next to my wife!"

Gu Xiyan said "Oh", and turned her head to look at Cuiyu carefully.

She is really a rare beauty, especially with her big watery eyes. For some reason, she thought of Zhenniang's eyes.

I wonder what Qi Hongluan's personality is like?Does Zhenniang take care of her like a mother?Can I get along well with her...

Gu Xiyan was slightly distracted.

Seeing his wife staring at her blankly, Cuiyu felt very uneasy, she glanced at Yanhong angrily, and said with a smile: "Madam, don't listen to Yanhong's nonsense, it was just a joke between the sisters."

This time, in order to meet Mrs. Wei's request, the Wei Manor put a lot of effort into it. Among other things, the eight maids who were dowry, except for Duan Yingluo, the other seven were drawn from various houses in the Wei Mansion. Those who come out must not only look good, have a clean fortune, but also be smart.Cuiyu is a child of the family, and she was trained by Mrs. Wei Lingyun since she was a child. She likes her very much, and she always wanted to find a family for her, so she was sent here this time.

Others don't know that Wei's mansion has flattered and flattered Qi's in the past few years, but Cuiyu knows.For Gu Xiyan, the new master, she has complicated feelings.She wants to please her to pave a way for her in the future, but she is also afraid of arousing her suspicion and finds an excuse to kill her, or means to be a wife and concubine to a mud with extremely bad conduct... Those things, she has been involved since she was a child. I have seen a lot in Dazai Wei's mansion.

Yan Hong sees Cui Yu looking at her angrily, she also understands in her heart, and can't help but feel apologetic.She is different from Cuiyu, her father was originally from a hundred households in Northwest Daying, and she also lived a life of a wealthy lady when she was a child, but later her father died when she was fighting Gaochang, her mother remarried, and her uncle sold her to Wei Mansion.For the past two or three years, Cuiyu took care of her like a younger sister.She said this because she wanted Cuiyu to show her face in front of his wife, but who knew it was self-defeating and pushed Cuiyu to the top of the wave.

The atmosphere became a little cramped.

Gu Xiyan was thinking about her own thoughts, so naturally she didn't feel the dark wave between the two little girls. She said perfunctorily, "Well, both pieces of jade are quite beautiful."

Talking unintentionally, but listening intentionally.

The resentful tone, the sudden look, the two little girls heard it in their ears and saw it in their eyes, and even trembled a bit.

Gu Xiyan was influenced by the artistic processing of those TV and movies, plus she witnessed Mrs. Wei brazenly provoking Mrs. Xu as soon as she entered the Qi Mansion, so she still wondered how much power she had as a legitimate wife in the inner mansion. I don't have any deep understanding at all, so I don't know that there is a difference between concubines and concubines carried into the mansion in a sedan chair even if they are formally reported to their ancestors.For those who are powerful in their natal families or who have given birth to sons and are promising, for the benefit of the family or their own reputation, the first wife will naturally treat them a little bit less, and will not just shout and kill.But it’s different for those house maids or prostitutes who are good. Even if they are beaten to death, they will only be fined some money to settle the matter. A husband is afraid of being ridiculed and has a lustful heart. Even if he is dissatisfied, he dare not talk about it .Of course, ordinary wives will not show their dissatisfaction casually when they meet a concubine whom their husbands especially love. One is to want a good name, and the other is not to make the relationship with her husband too rigid...

She saw the two little girls shivering a little, but she didn't think about it at all. She thought it was because the one standing in the yard was getting a little cold, so she smiled and said, "Let's not stand in the yard talking, we will freeze you!" Well, why don't you find a place to sit down!"

The two hurriedly bowed their knees and said "yes".

There are only two houses in this courtyard, the main house was handed over to Brother Qi Maosheng to discuss matters, and Cuiyu accompanied him carefully, pointing to the place where Liu Meier and Qiugui lived to the east and said: "The master specially pulled out the house for Zhao Nanny and Miss Duan." Those who live here burn the kang all day long, or else, you can sit there for a meeting."

Gu Xiyan nodded.

As she walked towards the house, she said, "Why didn't you see Miss Duan?"

The two little girls gave each other a wink.

It is said that Miss Duan is a celebrity in front of the wife, even the uncle of the Wei family, she should be called "Miss Duan".That being the case, no matter what the wife means when she asks this question, she can't say "no" from her own mouth.Cuiyu hurriedly smiled to help Duan Yingluo cover up, and said: "Miss Duan is not on duty today, maybe she went out for a walk!"

Gu Xiyan was just asking casually, and when she heard them talking about what else was on duty, she couldn't help wondering: "How is the on-duty arrangement? Who is in charge of the arrangement?"

When they came, the uncle of the Wei family confessed that the maids and women were temporarily led by Cuiyu.But she said something wrong just now, Yan Hong didn't dare to make a sound anymore, so she looked at Cuiyu with her eyes.

Cuiyu turned a blind eye to Yanhong's gaze, and said with a smile: "The uncle of the Wei manor asked me to discuss the arrangement with sister Hongyu. How about I bring the list to my wife to see if there is anything wrong with it?" !"

Gu Xiyan also climbed up from the bottom in the company. Although she was only a low-level supervisor in the end, she had eaten pork anyway, how could she not know the taste of meat.I can't even recognize people, and I can still guide some things about ranking. Isn't it a joke for people to see? Of course, it's better to be still than to move!

She smiled and said: "Well, don't be busy for now. Since the uncle ordered you to arrange it, let's arrange it like this for now. Speaking of which, there are many messy things during this period, and I didn't even understand them all. Today happened to be taking advantage of my master's business, you two gave me pointers, so that I would not recognize the people in my own room."

The two little girls answered yes respectfully.

Gu Xiyan entered the main room with a velvet door curtain, a gust of warm air rushed over her face, and she felt relaxed.She told Cuiyu again: "The master and the third master are talking about serious business, so send a clever person to guard at the second gate. If anyone comes, stop them and report first. The master said 'see you', goodbye. The others And don't walk around in the yard casually, lest you should not listen to what you should have heard, and then say what you should not say."

Cuiyu hurriedly responded to the voice, turned around and went to make arrangements.

Yanhong asked Gu Xiyan for instructions: "Madam, should I sit in Miss Duan's room or in Mother Zhao's room?"

Gu Xiyan didn't even know who Zhao Nanny was, so of course she said, "Let's meet at Miss Duan's room!"

Yan Hong hastily raised the curtain of the north room.

Just as Gu Xiyan stepped over the threshold, a gentle and submissive female voice came from behind: "Slave Zhao, please greet my wife!"

She turned her head and saw a woman kneeling on the ground kowtowing to her.

Gu Xiyan received an education that everyone is equal. If a person older than her knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, she would feel a little embarrassed no matter what.Hastily stepped forward to help the woman: "Mommy, please get up!"

The woman stood up, and Gu Xiyan took a look at her.

People look very kind.But she was sure that she had never seen her.

Zhao Nanny and Duan Yingluo lived in the same room, one north and one south, and Duan Yingluo went out early in the morning, she didn't think about it all night, she was alone on the kang of the room thinking about her thoughts.

Qi Hao asked her to come, saying that he wanted her to help the new wife recuperate her body, but looking at him, it seemed that he didn't want the new wife to know what she was doing.It's very difficult for me to stay in Qi's family with such a bad reputation, not to mention gaining a foothold in Qi's family, even if I want to gain the trust of my wife.

No one knows better than her what it means for a nanny who serves Yanxi not to be trusted by her master.Back then, Aunt Gao was wrong about this.

But the problem now is that Qi Hao doesn't want his wife to get pregnant at all.It's not too difficult for her.I'm afraid of Mrs. Wei, who is anxious to hold grandchildren... She has seen the methods of this mother and son with her own eyes. When the time comes, she will bear the blame.

When she was in a dilemma there, she heard someone talking under the eaves. After listening carefully, it turned out that it was Qi Hao's newly married wife, Mrs. Gu, who was going to sit in Duan Yingluo's room with two little girls.

Zhao Nanny's mind began to spin rapidly.

Since Qi Hao would rather wronged himself than wronged his wife, and treats her like a treasure, can he take this opportunity to greet his wife?Besides, I wasn't just chewing my tongue, even if Qi Hao found out that he was respectful in front of his wife, he should only be happy and not blame him!

So when Gu Xiyan looked at her, she stood quietly with a smile and let Gu Xiyan look at her, with an unmistakable courtesy and humility in her demeanor.

Because she knew that whether she could stay in Qi's mansion or not depended on whether she could win the favor of this new wife...

How could Yanhong know the strangeness of this.Seeing that Gu Xiyan actually went to help Nanny Zhao herself, and Nanny Zhao was not the one who came with them, she naturally attributed her to the old people Gu Xiyan used to serve, such as wet nurses, adoptive mothers, etc. people.So she called out "Mom Zhao" very politely, and bowed her knees to Nanny Zhao.

If you want to hear some very private gossip, two people can't ask anything. If this is the case, it doesn't matter if there is one more person.So Gu Xiyan politely invited Zhao Mama into the room for a meeting.

Mother Zhao originally wanted to get close to Gu Xiyan, so of course she would not refuse.

The three of them entered the room together, Yan Hong wanted to serve Gu Xiyan to take off her shoes and get on the kang, but Gu Xiyan refused: "Don't bother, I can do it myself!"

Zhao Nanny was slightly taken aback.

She grew up in the Qi Mansion when she was young, and her vision is no different than ordinary people.Looking at Gu Xiyan like this, it seems that she is not used to being served by others.Only those who come from poor families and have never lived in an environment full of servants and women will be like this, could it be...

She suppressed the doubt in her heart and observed Gu Xiyan calmly.
