Value peace

Chapter 169 Confusing vulgarity and light ([-])

"Underwear, underpants, outer robe, belt, socks..." Gu Xiyan murmured, and she straightened up from the camphor wood box in a somewhat stiff posture, "Mo Ju, come and see, what's the difference?" ?”

Mo Ju put the fairy shoes in her hand into the box in front of her, then walked over to look at the box next to Gu Xiyan, and said with a smile: "It's all right. Ma'am, take a rest, my master's things, let's come Just take it."

Cuiyu, who was packing up the medicine with Mother Zhao, also smiled and said, "Yes, ma'am, we'll just collect it. When my master left this morning, I specifically asked you to work too hard these days, so sister Mo Ju should keep an eye on it." You take a break."

A faint gloomy look appeared on Gu Xiyan's face.

Two days ago, Qi Yuzhi had already held the wedding, and the day after tomorrow, Qi Maosheng was leaving for Gaochang.

They came back on the night of the second day of May, and early in the morning of the third day, as a daughter-in-law, she began to set rules in front of Mrs. Xu.Every day before dawn, I went to serve her to wash and wash, stood at the table to serve dishes when she was eating, listened to her while she was dealing with housework, and poured tea and water when she received the family members of the Qi family.But those few days coincided with the preparations for Qi Yuzhi's wedding, and the in-laws of Qi's mansion arrived in Yongzhou one after another. Relatives often came to pay respects to Mrs. Xu, and from time to time, mothers came and went to report. They come and go like a revolving lantern, and she has to deal with relatives who are unfamiliar to her, and she has to pay attention to Mrs. Xu's expression to meet her requirements. Often when it is time to light the lanterns, she returns to the Liyuan hungry. A little bit of your own personal space.

At the end of the day, it is natural that the waist is sore, the back is painful and the legs are cramping. Qi Maosheng can only feel the pain in his heart when he sees it. He once hesitated: "How about I tell Mrs. Xu..."

Gu Xiyan shook her head: "How can it be done. At this time, relatives are all there, and if there is any rumor, it will be difficult to end in the future. No matter how hard it is, I will survive these two days."

Even though he said so, Gu Xiyan still felt that it was hard work.

When I went to work, it seemed that the working hours were longer than this, and the labor intensity was higher. At that time, I didn't seem to feel very tired... Is it because Qi Maosheng was by the side asking about his health, so people became weaker , soften up...

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan crossed her sore waist and sighed.

Duanniang saw a trace of fatigue on Gu Xiyan's face, she couldn't help but said distressedly: "Don't worry about these trivial matters, go and wash up, I ordered the small kitchen to boil hot water... Master will be back soon!"

There was no small kitchen in the Liyuan, but Gu Xiyan took the time to order Siping to have someone clean up the Yongcuiju, which was located in the back of the Liyuan. A small kitchen was opened in Yongcuiju, making Liyuan a relatively independent courtyard.

While speaking, Yan Hong rolled up her sleeves and came in, and said with a smile: "Madam, let the women bring the hot water in!"

In Yandi in May, there is no hint of summer, but even so, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Gu Xiyan's body just now.

She nodded, and Duan Niang recruited a few rough envoys to carry out the camphor wood box, which contained clothes prepared for Qi Maosheng's trip.

Gu Xiyan came out of the bath, and Xingyu had already hung magnolia flowers on the four corners of the eight-step bed, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

Duanniang whispered in her ear: "Don't wait for the master, just take care of your spirit..."

Gu Xiyan didn't say a word, but a cloud of clouds rose on her pear-like white face.

Today is the day for Fang Shaoqin to serve tea to recognize relatives. Logically, relatives in the family can leave after drinking tea in the morning, but Mrs. Xu insists on keeping people at home lively. After lunch, she even arranges for an opera troupe to sing an excerpt in the afternoon.

As Gu Xiyan's daughter-in-law, she could only serve Mrs. Xu from morning to night. During this time, Fang Shaoqin was a little uneasy and wanted to make tea for Gu Xiyan, but Mrs. Xu pulled her to sit beside her: "This is You are newly married, so I will pamper you a bit today. Next time, it will be your turn to serve your aunt."

A group of female family members laughed happily.

Fang Shaoqin blushed, so naturally she couldn't say anything more.

Gu Xi snorted coldly in her heart with a smile on her face, she still looked cute and smart.

Before the play was over, Duanniang went to Xianji Courtyard in person and said that Qi Maosheng was leaving for Gaochang soon, and asked Gu Xiyan to pack his clothes.Because Gu Xiyan is usually on the waiting list, so I don't know where to put the two lake silk shirts I made specially for Qi Maosheng two days ago, so I came here to ask Gu Xiyan...

Only then did Mrs. Xu smile as if waking up from a dream: "Look at my memory... go, go, and don't come back in a hurry, the young couple have to say something close to themselves..."

Her words made the female relatives watching the play burst into ambiguous laughter.

Gu Xiyan returned to Liyuan early.

Who knew that when she came back, everything was almost packed, but Duanniang pulled her and whispered: "I think the Lord has been considerate of you for the past two days, and he massaged your shoulders and legs every night... You also need to be more careful." ... It will be a few months since my grandfather left... No matter how uncomfortable you are, you have to wait on him, how can you just fall asleep..."

After Duanniang said this, Gu Xiyan realized that a few days had passed since her childhood, but Qi Maosheng had been taking care of her as before... He was indeed neglected.

So Gu Xiyan bowed her head without saying a word, acquiescing to Duanniang's arrangement.

Xingyu made the bed and waited for Gu Xiyan to lie down, when a low voice came from outside, Gu Xiyan couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

"I'll go and have a look!" Xing Yu hurried away, then turned back quickly, and said, "Ma'am, it's Nanny Jin."

"Mommy Jin? Nanny Jin from Qiaoyuan?" Gu Xiyan smiled, "What is she doing here at this time?"

When Gu Xiyan was serving Mrs. Xu, she didn't see Qi Hongluan going to greet Mrs. Xu. She couldn't help being curious and sent Duan Niang to inquire, but she said that Hongluan was woken up in the middle of the night and was frightened. I'm sick now.

Gu Xiyan found an opportunity to talk to Mrs. Xu, and proposed to visit Hongluan.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "This child, admit it. With Zhenniang here, you'd better not go... so as not to cry endlessly."

"Ma'am is right." Gu Xiyan didn't say much, and smiled gently.

Madam Xu nodded in satisfaction.

In the past few days, Gu Xiyan has been quite submissive.Helping her to wash up with her hands and feet deftly, watching her handle housework with low eyebrows, entertaining relatives and relatives attentively, her temperament is as gentle as a gentle breeze, making people comfortable, she is a daughter-in-law that can't be faulted.

Of course, this is when she doesn't pick.

But this satisfaction did not keep Mrs. Xu for long.

In the afternoon, Gu Xiyan went to Qiaoyuan while she was discussing with Mrs. Liu, the old lady of Fengxiang Hutong, who would be the "Woman of Quanfu".

Qiaoyuan, really worthy of the name, is very exquisite.The doors, windows, floor coverings, and Duobaoge in the house are all made of nanmu, hung with light yellow curtains, and green orchid grass vines can be seen everywhere.

Zhenniang was shocked when she saw Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "I heard that Hong Luan is ill, so I'll come and see."

After Zhenniang hurriedly bowed and saluted, she led Gu Xiyan into the house.

On the silver-red carpet woven with peony flowers, Qi Hongluan was wearing a snow-white gown skirt, like a doll, sitting and playing with a little girl about seven or eight years old and playing with a clay doll.

Seeing Gu Xiyan come in, the little girl immediately stood up and looked at Zhenniang blankly.

Zhenniang smiled and said to the little girl: "Zhizi, this is Hongluan's mother, Young Madam."

The little girl named Zhi Zi hurriedly bowed her knees to salute Gu Xiyan.

Although he is young, he has a stable appearance, graceful manners, and smooth movements. It can be seen that he has been carefully guided.

"Gardenia is Hongluan's personal maid." Zhenniang explained to Gu Xiyan, then squatted beside the carpet and called Hongluan, saying, "Mother is here to see you!"

Hongluan ignored no one and just played with her clay doll.

Zhenniang stood up and smiled apologetically at Gu Xiyan: "Young madam, sometimes she... doesn't care much about people..."

Gu Xiyan smiled disapprovingly, then crouched beside Hongluan and stroked her jet-black hair.

Qi Hongluan twisted her body to avoid Gu Xiyan from touching her hand.

Zhenniang showed an embarrassing expression on her face, and hurriedly called out "Hongluan".

Hongluan raised her head to look at Zhenniang, her mouth was flattened, and she began to cry.

Zhenniang hurriedly hugged Hongluan in her arms, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, Hongluan is my good baby, don't cry..." The tone is soft and sincere, like a girl crying because of her daughter. Like a compromising mother...

Gu Xiyan raised her eyebrows, stood up, and said with a smile: "Looking at it like this, it doesn't seem to be a serious problem..."

Zhenniang smiled bitterly: "...the eldest young master is getting married, Mrs. Xu's affairs are complicated... all the relatives are here again, to tell you the truth, it was me, I didn't let her go... lest everyone surround her Watch..."

Gu Xiyan was greatly surprised, but her face remained calm, and said with a smile: "You are still thoughtful! After a few days, Hongluan will move to Wanqingxuan, so you have to worry about her affairs! "

Zhenniang smiled and said: "Young Madam, I am Hongluan's adoptive mother, this is what I should do."

The two were talking, and Nanny Yi walked in with a hasty expression.The expression on her face was a bit stiff, and she said: "Young madam, madam is looking for you everywhere, saying that the old lady of the Cui family is here, and I want you to go and pay her respects."

Gu Xiyan smiled kindly at Zhenniang, then patted Qi Hongluan's head, and followed Nanny Yi.

When Mrs. Xu saw her, her face was very ugly.

He told her not to go to Qiaoyuan, but he went in a way that was not right.

Mrs. Xu suppressed her dissatisfaction and introduced Cui Taijun to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan was going to salute Cui Taijun, Cui Taijun took her hand a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "You can't, you can't... You have an order!"

Gu Xiyan still knelt down: "That is a matter for the court, at home, I am your junior!"

The man next to him said: "Madam, you are really blessed! The daughter-in-law is respectful and the daughter-in-law is gentle..."

Mrs. Xu smiled lightly.

After hearing this, Taijun Cui smiled like a flower on his face, as if he was boasting about his wife and daughter-in-law: "That's right, that's right..."
