Value peace

Chapter 168 The Journey to Huaiyuan
Qi Maosheng strode forward with a cold face, and Gu Xiyan hurriedly followed behind him, just like that, trotting for a while from time to time.

With great difficulty, the two of them entered the pear garden, and the maids and women in the courtyard bowed their knees to salute Qi Maosheng. Only then did Qi Maosheng come to his senses, and he had returned to the pear garden.He paused in his steps, and when he turned around, he saw Gu Xiyan who was following closely behind him. Under the bright red lantern, the two drops of sweat on the tip of her nose were shining like crystals.

Seeing the peaceful smile on that pear-like quiet and beautiful face, the anger in Qi Maosheng's heart dissipated little by little.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Why are you walking so fast? I almost couldn't keep up!"

Qi Maosheng showed a gentle smile and held her hand: "Let's go back to the house."

Gu Xiyan grimaced: "Aren't we going to greet Mrs. Wei?"

Qi Maosheng's eyes were sad: "No, she is an aunt after all..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't understand Qi Maosheng's actions: "No matter what, she is always a mother. When we got married, she must remember it very well..."

Qi Maosheng was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "We have nothing good to say when we meet, let's forget it!" In his tone, he was full of sighs.

Gu Xiyan pulled his arm and said with a coquettish smile: "Maosheng, I want to see Mrs. Wei... When I got married, she bought me so much dowry... Let's go thank her!"

Qi Maosheng hesitated.

Gu Xiyan pulled him to the side corner door: "Go, go! I even brought a gift for Mrs. Wei!"

Qi Maosheng raised his eyebrows: "Why bring a gift to her? She is an elder... She should give it too!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and called Mo Ju: "Call Aunt Duan, let's go to Huai Garden to greet Mrs. Wei!"

Mo Ju followed Gu Xiyan's orders early in the morning and prepared the things for Mrs. Wei. After hearing Gu Xiyan's words, she hurriedly called Duan Niang.

Qi Maosheng was dragged by Gu Xiyan to Huaiyuan.

The Huai Garden was full of darkness, but Mo Ju had just knocked on the door a few times before Bao Niang came out to answer the door. When she saw Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan, she had a surprised expression on her face, and she stuttered a bit: "Master, Why are you here..." As she spoke, there was something shiny in the corner of her eyes.

Gu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head to look at Qi Maosheng.

Qi Maosheng seemed surprised by Baoniang's excitement, he paused, and then said, "I, let's see Mrs. Wei..."

Bao Niang came back to her senses, hurriedly opened the door, turned sideways to let them in: "Quick, come in..."

While speaking, the lights in Mrs. Wei's room lit up.

Bao Niang entered Mrs. Wei's room in two steps, and Gu Xiyan was speechless.She whispered in Qi Maosheng's ear: "This room is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Qi Maosheng looked very disappointed, he didn't answer Gu Xiyan's words, and looked at the lights in Mrs. Wei's room with a dull expression.

They only waited for a short while before Bao Niang lifted the curtain and let them in.

Mrs. Wei under the light, with crystal clear skin and thick eyebrows, looked younger than during the day, just like Qi Maosheng's sister.Gu Xiyan suddenly discovered that Qi Maosheng and Mrs. Wei, one is resolute, the other is gorgeous, but they both have a cold temperament, they look alike!
Qi Maosheng raised his hands, ready to salute Mrs. Wei, but Gu Xiyan said with bright eyes and quick words: "Bao Niang, why don't you prepare a group garden, be careful about your clothes."

Everyone was startled.

Mrs. Wei leaned on the pillow and looked at her jade-like fingers, while Qi Maosheng lowered her eyelids and looked at her own toes, neither of them made a sound.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Bao Niang's voice was a little choked up, and she said: "Yes, yes, I am confused, I am confused..." As she said, she turned around like a gust of wind and took two ball gardens and put them under the kang.

Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan kowtowed three times to Mrs. Wei on the tuanpu.

At this time, Qinniang also rushed over, brought Xiudun to let them sit down, and served tea and snacks.

As soon as Gu Xiyan was holding the teacup, she heard Madam Wei snort coldly, and said, "I've lived here for almost two months, I can't tell, it's quite a problem!"

When Qi Maosheng heard this, the teacup in his hand landed heavily on the small table beside him.

Gu Xiyan saw it, stood up hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank Madam for taking care of me during that time." After speaking, she winked at Duan Niang beside her.Duanniang took the brocade box from Mo Ju's hand and put it on the kang table in front of Mrs. Wei.Xi Yan smiled and said: "This is left to me by my deceased mother. It looks elegant to me. It's for Madam to play with in her spare time."

Mrs. Wei did not look at the brocade box in front of her, but looked at Duanniang with burning eyes.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "This is Duan Niang, my wet nurse; the other is Mo Ju, my personal maid at her mother's house, this time I came to pay my respects to Madam, and I also specially brought her here to kowtow to Madam of."

Duanniang and Mo Ju respectfully knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei accepted the gift from the two with a blank face, and then opened the brocade box in front of Gu Xiyan.

Inside the brocade box lay a white armband, made of jade, carved with very simple patterns, crystal clear under the light, exuding a faint brilliance.

This is Mrs. Lian's relic. According to Duanniang, it is a treasure of the Lian family.

Mrs. Wei glanced at it, closed the box with a snap, and said coldly, "Bao Niang, take it!"

Bao Niang responded happily, stepped forward a few steps and hugged the brocade box in her arms.

Qi Maosheng stood up and said, "It's late at night, we won't disturb Madam's rest."

Gu Xiyan wanted to chat with Mrs. Wei for a while, but seeing that Qi Maosheng's expression was not very good, she had to stand up.

Madam Wei didn't keep them back, she stretched out her slender fingers to stroke her hair at the temples, and said: "If Hongluan doesn't want to go to Wanqingxuan, don't force it. If she wants to make trouble, let her do it... Hurry up It's serious to have another one..."

Find out so soon!
She wants to make trouble... Who does the word "she" refer to?Madam Xu?Or Qi Hongluan?
Gu Xiyan was stunned, and quickly glanced at Qi Maosheng.

Qi Maosheng pursed his lips, his whole body exuded a chill.

He was very annoyed!
These words immediately popped up in Gu Xiyan's mind.

She immediately stepped forward and took Qi Maosheng's hand.

Small hands, soft, delicate as cream.

Qi Maosheng tightly held her hand back, rubbed it heavily, and used that movement to dissipate the anger in his heart little by little.

* * * * * *
The two returned to the Liyuan.

Qi Maosheng stood angrily in the middle of the courtyard, looked at Gongshun courtyard, and then Wangxian collection courtyard.

"There's nothing to worry about!"

Gu Xiyan couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Qi Maosheng frowned: "What's so funny! I'll leave it to you in the future!"

"Two mothers, both give you such a headache. What if you have two wives at the same time!" Gu Xiyan teased him.

Qi Maosheng was startled.

This joke is indeed not very good, Qi Maosheng, but he is married to two wives!However, Qi Maosheng's helpless look is indeed a bit funny!
Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing softly.

Qi Maosheng thought of something else.

Xiyan, are you telling him not to take concubines like his father!
Qi Maosheng scratched her nose with a smile, and said, "Then serve me well...or else, ummm... find you a lot of sisters and sisters..."

Gu Xiyan did not expect Qi Maosheng to think in that direction.But it's rare for him to make a joke, and Gu Xiyan naturally wants to join in.

With a bright smile, she bowed her knees playfully and saluted Qi Maosheng, with a helpless look: "Yes, sir! This servant will definitely serve you well."

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xia Qing and Xing Yu were on duty today. The two were waiting under the eaves. When they saw Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng coming back, one lifted the curtain, and the other turned around and went to the east corner gate. The women fetched water for them to wash.

An octagonal glass lamp is lit on the kang table in the outer room.The dim light softened everything around. In the dimness, Qi Maosheng could clearly see the eight-step bed through the blank space of the chicken peony screen. On the head of the bed was a beautiful blue pillow with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in water. And the rolled out silver-red quilt.

His heart also softened with the scene, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The two simply washed their hands and lay down to rest.

Despite the exhaustion of the journey, Qi Maosheng did not feel sleepy at all.

From now on, this will be his and Xiyan's home, they will spend the rest of their lives here, grow old together, and have children...

Gu Xiyan couldn't sleep either, she tossed and turned beside him, and finally lay on Qi Maosheng's body, pouting and shouting "Maosheng..."

Qi Maosheng smiled and hugged her in his arms: "What's the matter, is there something uncomfortable?"

Gu Xiyan lowered her head: "My little days are here again..."

Qi Maosheng was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood Gu Xiyan's thoughts.He smiled and said, "We've just got married... Besides, you're still young, two years, it won't be too late..."

Qi Hongluan's face appeared in Gu Xiyan's mind.She sighed, turned over and lay on Qi Maosheng's arms: "But I really miss it..."

Before seeing Qi Hongluan, she was thankful for her state, but the moment she saw Qi Hongluan, she suddenly changed her mind.

Give birth to a child who looks like Qi Maosheng.Together, these thoughts circled in her mind as if possessed by a demon...

Qi Maosheng giggled, stretched out his healthy arm, and held Gu Xiyan's feet in cotton socks: "When you recover, I'll give you..."

What did you give her?

Gu Xiyan blushed, and pinched Qi Maosheng: "I'm not the one I was talking about... I think, I want to have a child like Maosheng..."

Looking at the twinkling face and charming eyes in front of him, Qi Maosheng's heart was also moved.

Many women become mothers at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Next year, Xiyan will be one year older. She should give it a try!

He couldn't help whispering in her ear: "When I come back from Gaochang...we will have a little Xiyan..."

Speaking of children, Gu Xiyan thought of what happened at Mrs. Xu's place just now.

She hesitated and said: "Maosheng, why don't you agree to let Hongluan get acquainted with the environment of Wan Qingxuan before moving... Anyway, she is still a child, and she is always a little afraid of unfamiliar environments. !"

Qi Maosheng sighed: "When I saw her cowardly and weak appearance, I felt uncomfortable... They are all used to it. Look at Qi Xiao's two girls, how amiable they are, they smiled when they saw me of……"

Maosheng, like all fathers, hopes that his children will be better than others!

However, this kind of comparison is still unacceptable, it hurts the child's heart the most...

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "The child is nothing else, there is no rush. Let's see the situation tomorrow. If Hongluan is really uncomfortable, we should take it slowly!"

Qi Maosheng didn't say anything, but twisted Gu Xiyan's hair with his hands.

In this way, it is agreed!
Gu Xiyan gently kissed Qi Maosheng on the cheek: "Go to sleep, our honeymoon is over, starting tomorrow, I will get up early and go to bed late to work hard at home, you also have to work hard, I am still waiting for you Take it home!"

Started talking nonsense again.

However, what Xi Yan meant was that she was in charge of the inside and the outside!
Qi Maosheng rubbed Gu Xiyan's hair and hugged her in his arms.
