Value peace

Chapter 175 Social Activities
Gu Xiyan and Yi Mama were looking for something to say when they saw Duanniang walking quickly with a solemn expression.

Gu Xiyan was startled, and couldn't help but went up to meet her: "Aunt Duan, why are you here?"

Duanniang smiled and bowed to Gu Xiyan, saying: "Madam, please go back quickly!"

When Grandma Yi saw Duanniang coming, she followed curiously. Now that she heard what Duanniang said, she couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile in her eyes, and said, "Auntie Duan, the Young Madam hasn't greeted Madam Tai yet. Why don't you answer the question and let me wait a while!"

Aunt Duan didn't argue, she nodded and said: "In that case, I'll go back to Master immediately." After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Gu Xiyan didn't care.

Maybe Qi Maosheng knew that yesterday was too much and was worried about her health, so he called Duan Niang to call her.

Nanny Yi didn't care either.

It's only been a few days, and I can't stand it anymore, so I ran out of my nanny to play!

The two had their own hearts, but they talked and laughed kindly on their faces. Suddenly, Nanny Yi's face froze, and Gu Xiyan turned around in surprise, only to see Qi Maosheng walking in with a serious expression.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help screaming in her heart that it was terrible.

Could it be that I acted too exaggeratedly yesterday, so Qi Maosheng couldn't help it... Really, if Mrs. Xu made an article and spread it, I will be the frivolous "disrespectful superior" in the mouth of those first wives in the future People, even Qi Maosheng, will probably be called "unfilial" a few words!
She couldn't help but sighed, and with a few warnings in her eyes, she walked up to Qi Maosheng and bowed her knees to salute, reminding her: "My lord is here to pay my respects to my mother..."

Qi Maosheng didn't even look at Gu Xiyan, and asked Nanny Yi, "Is mother still awake?"

Nanny Yi smiled awkwardly, and said: "Madam is getting older, and Yuguan's marriage has been a bit more tiring, so I'm feeling a little bit down these days!"

"Why didn't you call the doctor!" Qi Maosheng's face was very serious.

Nanny Yi hurriedly said: "I have already called the doctor, and said that it is good to rest, and the madam told us not to disturb the Duke of the country because of her matter, so..."

It's really lying without drafting!

Gu Xiyan looked down at the performance of the two.

Qi Maosheng was full of concern: "Show me the prescription!"

Nanny Yi said with some embarrassment: "Madam is resting, look, why don't you wait for Madam to wake up..."

Qi Maosheng thought for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, I will not go to greet my mother, let her rest well. I will come to see her with Xiyan in the evening."

Didn't you say you're going to Gaochang at noon today?

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng seriously.

Nanny Yi's expression was also shocked, but before she could ask, Qi Maosheng turned around and said to Gu Xiyan: "Gong Tao's wife is ill, and she just returned to Yongzhou to recuperate yesterday, you and I will go and see!"

Is it really because of this?
Despite the doubts in her heart, Gu Xiyan just showed a submissive smile and nodded to Nanny Yi, and hurriedly followed Qi Maosheng to Songzhen Courtyard.She asked Qi Maosheng on the way: "How is Gong Tao's wife?"

Qi Maosheng frowned slightly: "I heard that he was ill, and Gong Tao asked me for leave... This has never happened before. I have already ordered the schedule to be postponed for three to five days."

Gu Xiyan did not expect Qi Maosheng to attach so much importance to Gong Tao.

Qi Maosheng looked at the surprise on Gu Xiyan's face, and said, "They are all fighting alongside me, just like brothers."

Gu Xiyan nodded in understanding, and assured her: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat Mrs. Han as my sister."

Qi Maosheng patted Gu Xiyan's head: "You're a big kid!"

Gu Xiyan murmured, "Aren't I doing this for you?"

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile in his eyes.

That day, as Qi Maosheng's wife, Gu Xiyan participated in his social activities for the first time.

They went to see Gong Tao's wife together.

Gong Tao lives in a five-entry mansion with blue bricks and gray tiles, which looks simple and grand.After entering the yard, I found that the furniture and furnishings were a bit worn out.

Gong Tao was very surprised to see Qi Maosheng brought Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan bowed her knees generously to salute Gong Tao, showing a sweet smile like a neighbor's sister: "When I was in Hongtai, thanks to Sister Han's care, I never had the chance to thank her, and I felt very uneasy. I was about to visit my sister after finishing my work, but I didn't expect my sister to be sick!"

Gong Tao seemed to be very unaccustomed to Gu Xiyan's way of communicating, his expression was very reserved, not as free and easy as when they first met, and he mumbled a few words like "thank you", but he didn't know what to say. what.

Gu Xiyan proposed to come to the inner house to see Mrs. Han.

Gong Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called a maid named "Ju Hong" to take Gu Xiyan to the inner house.

Gu Xiyan looked at the orange who was helping her lead the way, and was slightly taken aback.

That girl looked like Zhou Zheng, but she was crippled.

She tried her best to maintain a calm expression, and followed Ju Hong into the inner house.

The inner house is even more dilapidated than the outer courtyard. The house is empty and there is almost no furniture. The yard that should have been planted with flowers and plants is set up to grow vegetables. Walking in the verandah, I didn’t meet anyone, but it made me feel good. It seemed that there were many eyes peeping at her, which made her feel a little numb down the spine.

But this place was brought by Qi Maosheng, so nothing should happen!

Gu Xiyan tried her best to comfort herself.

When she saw Han Shi, Gu Xiyan couldn't bear it any longer, a surprised expression appeared on her face.

In the bedrooms of Gong Tao and Han, there is only a high cabinet of miscellaneous wood standing next to the Kang, and two chairs, one of which has a broken leg and is still repaired with rough wood.

Han Shi was covered with a beautiful blue coarse quilt, and a white coarse cloth veil was placed on his forehead. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed with a flushed face.

Beside her bed, there is a fifteen or sixteen year old girl serving her.

Seeing Ju Hong brought someone in, the girl was taken aback, Ju Hong stammered to the girl, "Chunhua, yes, it's Lord Yan's wife who came..."

The girl flinched when she heard that, her face turned pale when she looked at Gu Xiyan.

When Ju Hong said this, she woke up Han Shi on the bed. She grabbed the veil on her forehead and sat up, and said with a smile: "Madam, I didn't expect to alarm you."

Although the house is simple, everything is tidy and clean.

Gu Xiyan rushed forward in a few steps, sat on the edge of the kang, held Mrs. Han's hand to prevent her from getting off the kang, and said sincerely: "The last time I saw my sister, she was fine, no matter how sick she was, she was sick."

Han Shi was not too polite with her, and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I've suffered from the cold."

Gu Xiyan noticed that Mrs. Han was wearing a piece of underwear that was washed and frayed, and she couldn't help but ask: "Did my sister invite a doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Han said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, just cover it."

While the two were talking, the maid named Chunhua slowly moved towards the outside of the house.Looking at the corner of Gu Xiyan's eyes, she found that one of the girl's sleeves was empty.

The pleasantries with Han Shi can no longer be said.

Following Gu Xiyan's gaze, Han looked over and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, they are all obedient and good children, but they are just physically inconvenient."

For some reason, Gu Xiyan felt a kind of unexplainable sadness in her heart, she nodded indiscriminately, and said a few more words to Han Shi, Xia Qing came in to invite Gu Xiyan, saying that Qi Maosheng was going back home soon .

Gu Xiyan knew that after Qi Maosheng went to Gaochang, Gong Tao would lead the army to garrison Tianhe County at the junction of Yandi and Jindi. If there was a war, his place would be at the forefront. At that time... I am afraid it will be life and death!

She comforted Han Shi in a pale tone: "My lord said to postpone the schedule for a while, you husband and wife get together well, and let the Shaofu affairs also take good care of my sister."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Han showed a happy expression on her face, and smiled: "He is seldom at home, how can I let him take care of me!" There was a girlish cheerfulness in her tone.It can be seen that such a reunion is happy for them.

Gu Xiyan felt that her eyes were astringent, she lowered her head and walked out.

Back in the carriage, she was still in a low mood, so she asked Qi Maosheng: "Gong Tao is a senior general under your command, why is his family so poor?"

Qi Maosheng said with a smile: "He and his wife are both from poor backgrounds. There are a lot of sisters, sisters, brothers, brothers, nephews and nephews on both sides, and they all rely on them."

Han's hairy skirt was floating in front of her eyes.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help pulling Qi Maosheng's hand: "Maosheng, let the doctor in the mansion go to see Mrs. Han, and we will pay for the medicine."

Qi Maosheng was stunned, and said: "Not really. Although their lives are tight, I still give a lot of rewards every year!"

Gu Xiyan always felt that there was something wrong with it, so she pulled Qi Maosheng's sleeve and acted like a baby: "Maosheng, people have different needs, you give a mink coat to a person who doesn't eat, and a mink coat to someone who doesn't eat." A famous piano for a man without clothes, although the gift is expensive, what is the use..."

Qi Maosheng hugged Gu Xiyan in his arms and kissed the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "It makes sense at any time!"

They traveled very low-key that day, two curtain oil trucks, one in front and one in the back, respectively sitting Qi Maosheng, Gu Xiyan, Xia Qing, and Xing Yu, and there were eight Suiyi in total. This kind of formation can be found everywhere in the streets of Yongzhou , not really eye-catching.

The carriage was walking unhurriedly, and Qi Maosheng was not a talkative person, with the rumble of the cart, Gu Xiyan felt drowsy.At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Qi Maosheng whispered in her ear: "Xiyan, let's have dinner outside today, okay?"

Gu Xiyan's body was jolted a bit, and then she woke up. Looking at Qi Maosheng's handsome face, she held Qi Maosheng's sleeve nervously: "Maosheng, you, what's wrong with you today?"

Qi Maosheng kissed the tip of her nose affectionately: "Little guy, seeing that you have been wronged at home, I will take you out to relax..."

Gu Xiyan's expression became a little nervous: "You are not that kind of person!"

Qi Maosheng was startled.

Gu Xiyan said: "Gong Tao's wife is just suffering from the cold, not critically ill, but you used her as an excuse to take me out of the house, suddenly changed the time and itinerary to Gaochang, and said that you would go out for dinner, and The guard of honor for the trip was arranged so low-key... Maosheng, what happened? You, you should tell me straight, you look like this, I, I don't have any feelings..."
