Value peace

Chapter 155

When they were in the Gu family, Gu Xiyan was very easy-going. When the three reunited, everyone was a little excited, and Qi Maosheng was not in front of him, so neither Moju nor Duanniang was too particular. As soon as they persisted, the two of them sat around the kang table with Gu Xiyan.

Mo Ju was holding the porridge, and said hesitantly, "Girl, can this be eaten?"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "This is pork ribs and soybean porridge. It nourishes Qi and nourishes the body. It tastes pretty good!"

Mo Ju took a sip cautiously.

Gu Xiyan said expectantly: "How?"

"Well," Mo Ju hesitated for a while, then whispered: "It's okay!"

Gu Xiyan sighed in disappointment.

Based on Mo Ju's character and handling style, it can be interpreted as "she doesn't like it very much".

Unhappily, she ordered Cuiyu: "You can give Aunt Duan and Mo Ju a bowl of white porridge!" Then she took a bite with relish, and complained: "You just think it's not good, but everyone thinks it's good!"

Mo Ju pursed her lips and smiled.

Aunt Duan poured cold water on her mercilessly: "I'm afraid it's because you are in high spirits, so it's hard to tell!"

Gu Xiyan was used to being scolded by Aunt Duan, and knowing that what she said was probably true, she lowered her head embarrassingly and went to eat porridge.

Cuiyu looked at Duanniang in surprise.

However, Aunt Duan really hit the mark.During this period of time, Gu Xiyan kept adjusting the dishes, sometimes it was Shandong cuisine, sometimes it was Northeast cuisine, sometimes it was Cantonese cuisine, almost all of the eight major cuisines were involved.The dishes of other cuisines are okay, but this Cantonese cuisine, whether it is Qi Maosheng or the chef and Hongyu, is difficult to accept.When Gu Xiyan asked them if they had oysters, the cook stammered, "Ma'am, those are dirty things, how can they be eaten!"

Gu Xiyan is the only one who eats all kinds of porridge cooked by herself.

Aunt Duan was not concerned with this, she seemed to be unintentional and said: "Who will serve Master's breakfast?"

Gu Xiyan said disapprovingly: "Oh, he eats at Aoxiaoxuan, and there is a personal servant waiting on him."

"What about lunch and dinner? Are you eating at Ao Xiao Xuan?"

"We don't need to worry about him," Gu Xiyan was in a good mood, finished the porridge in three mouthfuls, and handed the bowl to Cuiyu to ask for another bowl, "Sometimes he comes back to eat, sometimes he doesn't come back to eat. The personal servant will come early Reported."

Duan Niang nodded slightly.

After breakfast, Cuiyu served them tea and a few plates of snacks, and then led the girls out.

Several people sat at the kang table and chatted.

Before Gu Xiyan could speak, Aunt Duan moved her body and sat next to her, and said in a low voice: "The third master of Qi Mansion had already given us a general overview of your situation when we came here, now I want to hear from you Say, what's going on?"

Gu Xiyan blushed slightly, and briefly told Duan Niang what happened during this period, of course, the ambiguous things between her and Qi Maosheng were omitted.

Duanniang listened carefully, and asked, "If Grandpa Guo hadn't been injured, would you have come to Hongtai indiscriminately?"

Gu Xiyan didn't want to lie to Duanniang, but she didn't want to tell Duanniang what she thought at the time, for fear that he would have a bad impression on Qi Maosheng.He said in a low voice, "I, I don't know either." As he said this, there was a jewel-like light shining in his eyes.

When Duanniang saw her, she let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay! I think back then, but I said it well..."

Gu Xiyan blushed and lowered her head.

Duanniang thought for a moment, then whispered in her ear: "Between the bed, he loves you!"

Gu Xiyan's face turned so red that she could bleed, she glanced at Mo Ju who was sitting next to her with some anxiety, and called out coquettishly, "Auntie, it's true!"

Looking at the gorgeousness between her brows, Duanniang suddenly showed a relieved smile.

She hugged Gu Xiyan in her arms and stroked her head: "The girl has really grown up!"

Gu Xiyan knew that she treated herself like a child, so she quietly leaned on her shoulder and said with a smile: "No matter how old you are, you will raise your child. When Maosheng comes back, I will ask him to serve you tea. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Xiyan was stunned.

She suddenly realized that she didn't dare to ask Qi Maosheng to kneel down and pour tea for Duanniang, so she blurted out "Let him serve you tea".

But Duanniang smiled and patted her head: "Silly girl, where does the master serve tea to the slaves? I'm happier than anything else when you live a good life. You can never mention this matter again. Grandpa dotes on you, you can't stare, but you have to bear it, huh?"

Gu Xiyan suddenly felt a little sorry for Duanniang.If he hadn't chosen to marry Qi Maosheng at the beginning, maybe he could have recruited a son-in-law to live happily at home...

She wanted to say something, but Duanniang talked about their encounters along the way.

It turned out that Duanniang was afraid that something would happen as the days went by, so she hired a carriage to drive to Jiangnan County day and night. At the end of August, she arrived in Liuji, Changzhou. State, and then boarded a boat in Shiban Town of Yuezhou and took the waterway.When she arrived in Shiban Town, she kept a thought and checked Madam Gu's news. When she heard the news that "the Liu family's aunt who married to Shengjing brought the young master back to her mother's house to visit her new relatives", she just put it down. Come on.She arrived in Fuchun County in mid-October. She was afraid that people would recognize her, so she covered her head and dressed as an old woman and walked around Qixia Temple for several days. She came out to recognize Mo Ju when she saw that there was no suspicious person around her.

Having said this, Duan Niang couldn't help but pause.

Gu Xiyan remembered what Mo Ju cried just now.Her heart began to beat irregularly again: "But what news did you hear about Whelan?"

Duanniang glanced at Mo Ju.

Mo Ju's face was pale, and his eyes immediately turned red.

"I changed into coarse clothes and loosened my hair to look like a little daughter-in-law. I lived in the shop of Xilaiyuan next to the Taohuayuan in Qixia Temple. One night, I heard someone say that the deputy commander of the imperial guards, left, left Xiaoyu, kill, kill the newlywed wife, and now the people from the Zuo family are going to do a dojo for their wife in the Heming Palace..."

With a sound of "bang dang", the tea cup in Gu Xiyan's hand rolled down on the kang, and she trembled like a sieve: "Left, left, Zuo Xiaoyu, kill, kill Hui, Huilan?"

Duanniang got off the kang and went out to ask Cuiyu to bring her handkerchief.

Mo Ju was speechless, covered her mouth and began to cry.

Duanniang looked at Gu Xiyan who was already sitting there, she sighed softly, took a handkerchief and wiped Gu Xiyan's hands herself, and told Cuiyu, "You all go out, whoever comes is fine." not see!"

Cuiyu smiled and said in a low voice: "If Master comes..."

No wonder there is no news about Zuo Xiaoyu, so he already knew about it...

Gu Xiyan's blood was boiling with anger, and a rare look of sternness appeared on her face: "I didn't hear what Auntie Duan said, even if Grandpa came, I didn't see anything!"

Cuiyu turned pale in shock and left.

Looking at Cuiyu's bewildered expression, Gu Xiyan secretly blamed herself for venting her anger on others.She took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mo Ju, please explain clearly, what is going on?"

Mo Ju took the handkerchief from Duanniang and wiped away his tears, and said, "I heard that, and took advantage of the moonlight to quietly go to the Minghe Hall. Although the Minghe Hall was brightly lit, there were few people there. I dare not rely on it." It was too close, so I hid in the woods next to the Minghe Hall and wandered around for two or three hours, seeing that it was almost midnight, and was about to go back, when I saw Xinghong walking out with a girl..." At this point, she said Staring at Gu Xiyan, "Xinghong combed her hair, and the girl carefully supported her, and said, 'You have two bodies now, you must be careful'..."

"Two bodies?" Gu Xiyan opened her mouth wide.

Mo Ju nodded.

"It's only been two months, just..." Gu Xiyan couldn't help asking again.

"En!" Mo Ju nodded with certainty, "I threw a stone on her, and when she turned around, she recognized me, she said she was a little cold, and asked that girl to get her a cloak ...The two of us hid in the woods and wept for a while."

"What did Xinghong say?"

Mo Ju's face turned red, and she said eagerly: "She said, after Zuo Xiaoyu accompanied Huilan back to the house, the girls who were going to marry as dowry were going to stay in bed... two of them are pregnant..."

Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded and speechless.

"Whelan and Zuo Xiaoyu got into a fight. Once, Zuo Xiaoyu got violent, and Huilan was about to go to the palace to sue the imperial court..." Mo Ju lowered his head, "It is said that once, the two argued again When she got up, Huilan pulled Zuo Xiaoyu's saber to commit suicide, Zuo Xiaoyu went to grab it, but... for some reason, the sword hit her neck..."

"How did this happen? How did this happen?" Gu Xiyan muttered to herself, "She is so smart, beautiful, and talented, how could this be? How could this be?"

"Xinghong didn't dare to stay with me for too long, so we made an appointment to meet the next day." Mo Ju showed a guilty expression on his face, "I was afraid that she would see something wrong, so I didn't go the next day. We found it, and we hurried to Ridge Island."

"We arrived on Ridao at the end of December. Before we could settle down, we were taken captive in the inn." Duanniang smiled wryly, "At the beginning, I thought I had encountered a human trafficker, and I was scared to death. Later, when we arrived in Lingzhou, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and we could no longer sleep in the open. At that time, Mo Ju caught cold and burned badly. The leader of the field who kidnapped us took us to an inn, and invited a doctor to show Mo Ju Sickness, we just knew that this group of people had no malicious intentions, but that man surnamed Tian was also tight-lipped. He didn't say why he took us captive. All he knew was that he wanted to arrive at Hongtai before February [-]th. Later, Mo Ju We have delayed this disease until now."

Hearing what Duanniang said, Mo Ju lowered her head with a flushed face.

Arrive before February [-]th!

Gu Xiyan knew that this was a surprise that Qi Maosheng wanted to give herself. Thinking of this, she felt less blamed for Qi Maosheng.

Looking at Mo Ju again, she looked very embarrassed. She thought that Mo Ju was saying that she was delayed because of her illness, so she smiled and took Mo Ju's hand and said, "I'm sorry, it will take a long time to scare you all." Running around..."

Mo Ju shook her head vigorously: "Second Miss, don't blame me!"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly smiled and said: "We are all far away from home now, if you are willing to come, in my heart, I will treat you like a sister, and I can no longer say such kind words in the future, so everyone seems to be so born! "

Mo Ju nodded vigorously with tears streaming down her face.
