Value peace

Chapter 180 Same name but different reality ([-])

Qi Maosheng remained calm and said with a smile: "Mother, don't say that! Xiyan is young, ignorant, and just entered the house. I'm still counting on you for this family matter! Don't think about it like that again, but Just take care of yourself and take care of yourself.”

Mrs. Xu had a heart-to-heart talk with Qi Maosheng: "I was at her age when I came to Qi Mansion. At that time, your grandmother had just passed away and the house was in chaos. Your grandfather proposed to let me be the head of the house. You generally think that I am young and have just entered the house, so I am worried that I will not manage well. Although I learned to manage the house from my mother for a few days in my mother's house, I have never made up my own mind, and I have no idea in my heart, so I dare not take over. But As soon as your grandfather insisted, I bit the bullet and took it. You see, I didn’t manage well. If you don’t let her try, how will you know if she can do it? Besides, she is better now than I was then It’s a hundred times better, and while I’m still in good spirits and can help her from the sidelines, let her take over. At that time, who helped me..."

Qi Maosheng was a little tempted.

I went to Gaochang by myself, and left Gu Xiyan at home... If the family is supported, the accounts of the two houses will be in her hands, and those relatives who see her, don't bow their heads!

Gu Xiyan entered the room softly, and walked slowly towards Mrs. Xu's bedroom. The nuns and maids in the room all lowered their heads quietly and kept their voices silent according to the rules, so she could The conversation between the two was clearly heard.

"What mother said makes sense," she heard Qi Maosheng laughing, "It's her blessing that Xiyan can get your advice..." There was a trace of satisfaction in her voice.

Gu Xiyan lifted the curtain abruptly and walked in, startled the maidservant who was about to lift the curtain for her, and also surprised Qi Maosheng, who stopped when she reached her mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Maosheng frowned and asked Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "It's nothing, I left in a hurry just now."

Pull up the curtain and come in?Why don't you sit down with the embroidered pier yourself!

Poor family, do some small things!

However, it seemed that Qi Hao had already made up his mind, otherwise, he just mentioned it, and he became a little restless, and his tone revealed the joy of achieving his goal.

Mrs. Xu was contemptuous and calculating in her heart, but she showed a kind smile on her face: "Come, come and sit beside me."

Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the kang as she said.

Xu Fu took Gu Xiyan's hand and stroked her hair, with a satisfied smile in his eyes, he said, "I was just talking about you with Maosheng."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Are you talking about me?"

"Yeah." Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile, "I'm getting old, and my health is getting worse every year. From now on, this house will be handed over to you. You have to follow me and learn how to be a housekeeper."

Gu Xiyan showed a look of fear: "No, no, no. Mother, I can't, I can't..."

"In the future, I will be in charge of my own family", when I was in Hongtai, I had already agreed with Gu Xiyan, and whether it was in Hongtai or in Liyuan, she took care of the daily affairs in an orderly manner , such a good opportunity, why not...

Qi Maosheng was slightly startled, but his face remained calm.

Gu Xiyan quickly cast her eyes on Qi Maosheng: "Master, I, I can't..." Her eyes were full of pleading.

Because both of them were sitting sideways beside Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu could see the expressions of the two of them clearly, even if she winked, Gu Xiyan could only pretend to be scared, hoping that Qi Maosheng could understand her Please cooperate with me!
In Qi Maosheng's heart, Gu Xiyan is not such a cowardly person. Could it be that she has some intention to act like this in front of Mrs. Xu?
His thoughts were spinning quickly, and his face already showed an impatient look: "Since she doesn't want to, in my opinion, let's leave this matter as it is."

Could it be that I got it wrong... Or, Qi Maosheng has the heart now, but Gu Xiyan doesn't have the strength... Mrs. Xu thought to herself, and said with a smile: "Xiyan, you have to give it a try, give it a try. Only then will I know if I can do it..."

Gu Xiyan shook her head panickedly.

The impatience on Qi Maosheng's face became even stronger, and he stood up unexpectedly: "That's the end of this matter! Mother, it's getting late, and you should rest earlier. Xiyan and I will take our leave first."

Mrs. Xu didn't want this topic to end like this, she hurriedly said: "Maosheng, I'm not feeling well these days, there must be a regulation for this family affairs. Since both of you are unwilling, how about letting the young lady Qin came to help me, what do you think?"

Qi Maosheng was slightly startled.

Mrs. Xu sighed sadly: "Maosheng, I have been holding on for so many years. Now that my daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law have come in, I should take a rest."

Qi Maosheng was silent for a moment, and said: "In that case, then Lao Shaoqin has to worry about it!"

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashed with joy.

* * * * * *
The husband and wife asked the people around them to stand in the middle of the flower garden of Xixiang Pavilion and talk.

"Xiyan, she obviously asked Fang Shaoqin to suppress you. If Fang Shaoqin really gets the upper hand, you have to do better than her in the future. Otherwise, the nuns in charge at home will not be convinced your!"

Gu Xiyan held Qi Maosheng's arm, and smiled coquettishly by his side: "If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. Didn't we discuss it, first deal with Hongluan's matter, and then talk about other things."

"However, this opportunity is too rare..."

"Maosheng, Mrs. Xu said that she would let me learn from her as a housekeeper, but she didn't say that she would hand over the house to me... There is an essential difference in this! Besides, it's just a name for you to tolerate Mrs. Xu everywhere. Where is it? I, Fang Shaoqin, also have a name here! Don't worry, I can handle it."

Qi Maosheng thought for a while and figured it out.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

When I am on this, I really care about chaos.If Gu Xiyan hadn't been in the way at that time, how things would have been discovered, I really don't know!
He couldn't help looking at Gu Xiyan with admiration, and stretched out his hand to scratch her nose: "What a cunning."

Gu Xiyan also put a lot of thought into Qi Maosheng, so she naturally saw his embarrassment just now, and smiled: "Women do things in a woman's way, you old man, even if you can suppress these things , in the eyes of others, he is just a man who competes with women and loses his momentum. From now on, don't get involved in these messy things at home..." At this point, she was still a little worried that Qi Maosheng would send her Duanniang had an opinion about going to Gong Tao's house to visit the twelfth grandma of the Liu family, fearing that he would think it was her distrust of his decision, so she explained together, "I sent Duanniang to the Gong's house because we women If there is something wrong with talking in between, you men can also come forward and turn around. In case you push it out, there is no room for talking and doing things... When Duan Niang goes to feel the situation, you can't make a decision again Late!"

Seeing Gu Xiyan like this, Qi Maosheng felt half a stone in his heart. Of course, there was still half a stone worried about Gu Xiyan's mercy: "I went to Gaochang, what's the matter, talk to Duan Niang Discuss, if the servants are unruly, they will be punished when they should be punished... If it doesn't work, I will go to Mrs. Wei for an idea, although it is not good, but it is more practical than yours..." Qi Maosheng took the trouble to explain.

Talk to Mrs. Wei, the family doesn't know what bloody things are going to happen again!

Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously, she nodded obediently.

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Qi Maosheng didn't know how much she had listened to, so he finally couldn't help but sighed.

The two went back to the house, washed and went to bed, Gu Xiyan asked Qi Maosheng: "The imperial decree has limited the time for you to go to Gaochang!"

Qi Maosheng said "hmm".

Gu Xiyan said: "If it's because of Gong Tao's matter, it's reasonable to postpone it for a few days, but if it's because of Gu, Master Gu, there's no need to do that."

"Understood." Qi Maosheng responded in a low voice, leaning sideways and whispering in her ear: "Xiyan, let's only stay for a hundred days!"

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a while before reacting.

She was not willing to guard Gu Baozhang for a day, but considering Qi Maosheng's emotions, she just said "hmm".

* * * * * *
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xiyan took Duanniang to greet Madam Xu. On the way, she told Duanniang what happened to Guangming Temple yesterday, and finally said: "Go for me, some questions should be asked. If so, you have to ask clearly.”

Duanniang nodded solemnly and said, "I'll save it."

The two went to Mrs. Xu's residence, who knew that Fang Shaoqin arrived earlier than Gu Xiyan, and was waiting in the middle of the yard with Nanny Shi.Seeing Gu Xiyan, Fang Shaoqin hurriedly bowed his knees to greet Gu Xiyan, and Duanniang and Nanny Shi also greeted each other.

Gu Xiyan took her hand with a smile, and said: "Why did you come so early? I was tired all day yesterday, so I should take a rest today, so don't tire yourself out."

Fang Shaoqin's expression was very haggard, like a fire that was gradually extinguished, without the vigorous vitality of the first meeting.

Physical fatigue will not make a person's mental state become depressed.

Thinking of Wei Shiying who was sandwiched between them, Gu Xiyan already faintly felt that something might have gone wrong between her and Qi Yuzhi, but there were some things that she did not have the qualifications or the position to say.

Fang Shaoqin looked at Gu Xiyan's kind expression, smiled softly, and said: "Yu Guan asked me to come earlier, saying that I can't let my aunt do the hard work alone."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "Of course you should listen to what your husband says, but sometimes, you have to love yourself."

Fang Shaoqin was startled, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and was about to say something, but Nanny Yi smiled and opened the curtain to invite them in.

The two stopped talking, and Fang Shaoqin followed Gu Xiyan into the room.

Mrs. Xu has already woken up, Gu Xiyan is serving Mrs. Xu to wash and dress up, and Fang Shaoqin is also helping.

When the packing was almost done, Nanny Yi came in with soup and medicine.

Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the kang and fed medicine to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu seemed to think of something suddenly, and said: "Didn't you tell Duan Niang to go to Gong's mansion to see her sick today? Xiyan, there is Shaoqin here, so you can go with Nanny Yi, Take a look in the warehouse and pick out some suitable medicinal materials to send."

Gu Xiyan was also remembering this matter, and was looking for an opportunity to speak up. Hearing Mrs. Xu's words, she naturally followed the good advice, and took Duanniang and Nanny Yi to the warehouse.
