Value peace

Chapter 154

That letter was brought from Dingzhou by Liu Meier.

The letter stated that she had met with Mr. Cui Zhongyuan of the Cui family under the arrangement of her family during the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.The two will make a small engagement on February 28th, a major engagement on the eighth day of March, and a wedding date on April [-]th.She asked Gu Xiyan if she could come back before she got married.

Gu Xiyan made up her mind.

Since she had met that Mr. Cui Zhongyuan before marriage, Liu Meier should be satisfied!
Speaking of which, besides Liu Meier, Qi Yuzhi is the one who is about to get married.

According to Qi Maosheng, Qi Jiang, the third cousin of Qi Maosheng who went to Fang's family in Shengjing to propose marriage, had good news from him. The Fang family had accepted the betrothal gift from Qi's family. .

Qi Maosheng was very satisfied with this marriage, he wrote back to Qi Jiang in front of Gu Xiyan, let him make the decision, and it is best to get married for Qi Yuzhi before the summer.

Qi Yuzhi's marriage is easy to talk about, and Qi Qi and Qi Jiang are in charge. Qi Maosheng said that she will just give the red envelopes and meeting gifts to her niece and daughter-in-law at that time, and there are customary red envelopes, and Jin Lu, the accountant in Songzhen Courtyard, will be responsible , let her not worry.

What Gu Xiyan is worried about now is how to reply to Liu Meier's letter.

She doesn't know if she can go back to Yongzhou in April.Qi Maosheng has always claimed that he was injured, but he didn't mention it in his letter, because he was afraid that someone with a heart would see some clues; if he wrote it himself, he would be suspected of deceiving her.There was one more thing that bothered her.When she got married, Liu Meier gave her a quilt embroidered by herself, but now that she is getting married, she doesn't know what to give.

So it has been two or three days since the letter was received, but Gu Xiyan has never heard back.

She lay on the bed with back pain, thinking that she must do this thing today.

I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep.

After thinking about it for a long time in the warm bed, there was really nothing that could represent his heart, and finally decided to find a set of expensive head and face jewelry for Liu Meier from the Wei family's dowry.

Gu Xiyan put on her jacket, and found the jewelry box that was placed in the high cabinet at the top of the kang.

* * * * * *
When Qi Maosheng walked in, he saw Gu Xiyan sitting cross-legged on the kang with disheveled hair, surrounded by all kinds of gold ornaments and jade objects.Under the dim light, those gold and silver ornaments shone with sporadic light, and the calm and calm Xi Yan, like the moon, not only covered up all the light, but also made him give birth to a kind of brilliance because of the presence of these ornaments. She is so attractive.

Once he saw a woman who could outshine the brilliance of gems.

Qi Maosheng was a little stunned, and stood there looking at her stupidly.

Gu Xiyan sensed someone coming in, and when she looked up, she saw Qi Maosheng staring at her.

She blushed, and remembered the conversation between Cuiyu and Yanhong just now.

It's all because of him, those little girls don't know how to arrange themselves behind their backs!
Gu Xiyan pouted: "Maosheng, I'm thirsty, go and pour me bad tea!"

Qi Maosheng looked at her dotingly, smiled, and called "Cuiyu".

This guy is becoming more and more like a big man, and he can't carry it with his hands.

"Maosheng," Gu Xiyan became impatient, "I just want you to pour a cup of tea, it's right by your hand, why did you call the girl all the way to come in..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a heartbroken voice scold: "Second girl, how can you talk to uncle like this!"

Gu Xiyan was suddenly frightened and froze there.

Then she saw a tall woman bowing her knees to salute Qi Maosheng, and said to Qi Maosheng in a very apologetic voice: "My lord, our girls are young, I didn't teach them well, please take care of me!"

Gu Xiyan over there had already reacted, she jumped off the kang immediately, and hugged Duan Niang, crying and laughing: "Duan Niang, Duan Niang, why is it you? Why is it you..."

Duanniang, whom I hadn't seen for more than half a year, seemed to be getting old a lot. Her black hair now had a few strands of white hair, and her round face had dense fine lines. His eyes were still full of kindness.

Duanniang did not show the same excitement as Gu Xiyan, she gave Gu Xiyan a hard look, and whispered eagerly: "Young master is still here!"

What happened to Qi Maosheng here?
Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously, and she was already immersed in the joy of the reunion, so she couldn't even listen to these things, and couldn't care less about them.She pulled Aunt Duan and asked like a cannonball: "Where's Mo Ju? Why didn't she come with you? How did you get to Hongtai? How are Huilan and the others?..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a sobbing voice timidly said: "Second, Second Miss, servant Mo Ju, I greet you!"

Gu Xiyan turned her head, and there was a little girl bending her knees to salute her next to the curtain hanging beside the floor covering!
Is it not Mo Ju or who!
Gu Xiyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran towards Weiwei, but Duanniang grabbed her nimbly, and reprimanded her in a low voice: "Look at you, what do you look like? With disheveled hair, don't let me go back to the kang!" Then He raised his voice again and said, "Mo Ju, comb the second girl's hair neatly!"

For some reason, Gu Xiyan suddenly thought of the scene when she opened her eyes and saw Duanniang for the first time, and she also reprimanded herself like this.

Everything seems to have happened yesterday, but it already made her feel that Sanghai Cangtian can never go back... Qixia Temple can't go back, Heming Palace can't go back, Shengjing can't go back, and... That world that cannot be told or known by others will never go back!

Her tears suddenly burst into tears.

Duanniang was startled, she thought she was embarrassed by reprimanding Qi Maosheng in front of her, so she looked at Qi Maosheng who hadn't left yet, and said in a low voice, "Don't cry, don't you?" Let my uncle see a joke?"

Qi Maosheng was also taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiyan was afraid of Duanniang!
He hugged Gu Xiyan in his arms a few steps forward, and comforted her in a slow voice: "Okay, don't cry. You see, the nanny is here, she will feel ashamed. Well, don't I'm crying, do you still want to sleep..."

Gu Xiyan felt so wronged.

It's all Qi Maosheng, let those girls read her jokes, it's all Qi Maosheng, it's all Qi Maosheng who makes me nostalgic for this world... It's all his fault...

All unspoken words turned into self-willedness.

She pulled Qi Maosheng's sleeve to wipe away tears: "It's all you, it's all you..."

How did Qi Maosheng understand her thoughts, he thought that Gu Xiyan was angry because he didn't want to pour tea for her just now, and thought he was angry that he made her lose face in front of the wet nurse.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll pour tea." Qi Maosheng said, then picked up Gu Xiyan and walked towards the kang.

Intimacy does not divide time!
Gu Xiyan blushed, struggled, and whispered, "Is Aunt Duan still in the room?"

Qi Maosheng also replied in a low voice: "Then don't cry, otherwise, your nurse will think I bullied you!"

Gu Xiyan gave him a hard look.

Qi Maosheng carried Gu Xiyan onto the kang, and poured her a cup of tea.

Duan Niang's face turned blue from the sidelines.

As soon as Qi Maosheng left, she immediately snatched Gu Xiyan's cup, and said sharply, "Have you seen the marriage letter?"

"Hmm!" Gu Xiyan was taken aback.

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

Duanniang looked at the purplish red hickey on her neck, and she gritted her teeth and asked again, "Have you seen the marriage certificate?"

Is it a marriage certificate?

Gu Xiyan followed Duanniang's gaze, her face turned red, and she hurriedly assured her: "I saw it, I saw it. I also took it to the Qi family's ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and put it in the warehouse."

Duanniang's face was still stern, and she said: "What color is the marriage certificate, and what is written in it?"

Gu Xiyan tried her best to recall: "In black and white, I also drew pictures of mandarin ducks playing in the water, peony flowers, and finally wrote the birth date and so on. I don't remember the specifics!"

The first marriage is pink, and the second string is white.

Only then did Duanniang feel relieved, but when she thought of Gu Xiyan's vague description, she couldn't help but pinched her shoulders fiercely: "You damn girl, why don't you make people feel at ease?" when!"

Accusations, scolding, and complaints all reveal a deep love.

Gu Xiyan grinned foolishly.

Mo Ju sat down on the edge of the kang with tears in her eyes, and braided her hair according to the old habit of taking care of Xi Yan.

Gu Xiyan looked at the two shiny braids on her chest, wanted to smile but shed tears for some reason.

Mo Ju, who had been holding back all this time, couldn't hold it any longer, knelt down in front of the kang, and lay down on the extension of the kang, weeping.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, Huilan, she..."

Gu Xiyan felt a bad premonition in her heart, her heart was beating wildly, and while going to help Moju, she asked eagerly: "Moju, don't cry, what's wrong with Huilan?"

Duanniang snorted coldly at the side, and said: "We have heard a lot of things from Jiangnan to Jindi, and we can't explain it clearly in a sentence or two. I heard that little girl named Cuiyu The girl said, you don’t get up until three o’clock in the morning every day, and sometimes you don’t even eat breakfast?”

Gu Xiyan smiled guiltyly.

Duanniang said coldly: "It's cold today, let's have breakfast first. Let's talk after breakfast."

That's right, anyway, everyone has reunited now, so let's talk about it after breakfast!
* * * * * *
Cuiyu and Yanhong had already been waiting under the eaves, when they heard Gu Xiyan calling, they hurriedly fetched hot water and brought them in.

Gu Xiyan was sitting on the kang talking with her wet nurse and maid who was close to her natal family, and everyone's eyes were red.

Yan Hong put a veil around Gu Xiyan's shoulders, and wanted to serve her to wash her face, but Mo Ju said, "Let me do it!"

Yan Hong handed over the handkerchief with a smile, and said, "Sister Mo Ju, you can't call me a girl now, you have to call me a wife."

Mo Ju nodded towards Yan Hong in a friendly manner.

She served Gu Xiyan to wash her face and apply fragrant honey.

Hongyu instructs the rough envoy to bring the kang table in. Xia Qing and Qiu Shi hang up the curtains and draw the curtains, and the room is immediately brightened.

Looking at Gu Xiyan, Duan Niang was startled.

In that way, it is completely false fire rising!
She was suddenly annoyed.

The girl is young and ignorant, but the Duke of the country is someone who has experienced it, so why did he pick her up so badly!
Duanniang remained calm, looked at the little girls in the room, and felt that Youdao was looking at her vaguely.

She pretended to look down at the dishes on the kang table, then suddenly turned her head to catch that gaze, and saw the little girl named Cuiyu bowed her head nervously.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Duanniang's mouth.
