Value peace

Chapter 185

In Xizhao [-], Gu Xiyan wrote letters all summer, one letter a day, and sent it to Qi Maosheng through Yandi's spy system.

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, today is the first day you left. You suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and the surroundings were deserted. This gave you the real feeling that you had already set off for Gaochang. When you lay down again, you no longer felt sleepy, and your heart was empty. After tossing and turning, I finally found an old dress you left at home and hugged it in my arms, only then did I feel drowsy..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, I have received your letter. I have read it over and over several times. I really want to see something from the simple three words 'I know'. What a pity, I have no mind reading skills, and I have nothing figure it out!
I don't know where you are now?what's the weather like?Is it convenient to eat and live?
It rained several times in a row in Yongzhou, and the magnolia flowers behind the pear orchard were all blown off, and the white petals were crushed in the soil. I don't know if they can still smell the same, which makes people feel that the world is impermanent.

I went to Yongcuiju to see Duan Yingluo, she looked calm and calm, and told me not to disturb her, it made me very depressed.

Originally wanted to chat with her, but who knew that Fang Shaoqin was here, so he had to give up and hurried back to the main room.

Fang Shaoqin came here on purpose to return the clothes, saying thank you for my hospitality that day.Brought me an ivory lotus leaf wash, moist color, exquisite carving, very beautiful, according to Madam Shi, this is the dowry given to Fang Shaoqin by the empress dowager, it is rare in the world, I declined for a long time, but Fang Shaoqin insisted give it to me.I think that returning things is a trivial matter, and showing kindness to me is the purpose.In addition, she also brought a kaleidoscope to Hongluan, and proposed to visit Hongluan.

I refused.

Every time I see Hongluan's distinct facial features and black brows like yours, I would think that Qi Maosheng's fearless blood flows in this little girl's body, and I don't want to believe that she will really have something' sick'.I always hold a ray of hope, thinking that this situation is temporary, as long as we work hard, one day she will get better.There are so many ignorant people, before that, I hope to preserve some dignity for Hong Luan, and not to become someone else's gossip.

Fang Shaoqin is an intelligent woman. My straightforward refusal may have made her think of something. She quickly changed the subject and stopped mentioning the matter of going to see Hongluan.

A little later, I brought the kaleidoscope to Wanqingxuan to Hongluan, and when I mentioned Fang Shaoqin's visit, Zhenniang disagreed with my approach, saying that Fang Shaoqin was a direct relative after all, and I couldn't hide it if I wanted to, so I might as well just tell her It's clear, even if we don't tell her, she will learn the truth through Mrs. Xu.

Maosheng, if it were you, what would you do..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, I have received your letter. Knowing that you are all well, I am finally relieved. Although Erping is by my side to take care of you, the journey is long, so don't be careless. If you feel uncomfortable, Be sure to squeak, your body is your own, no one knows the situation better than you, so you can't stand it.

As for what you said, tell Fang Shaoqin about Hongluan, and then pass it on to Xizhao through her, and dispel Xizhao's plan to give Hongluan a marriage. Personally, I think we should be more cautious on this issue.In any case, the marriage of the two families is not based on personal morals and talents. As long as Hong Luan is your daughter, there is a possibility of this one day, and she will not give up such an idea because of her problems, maybe , Xi Zhao would feel that this situation is better.

During this time, when I went to greet Mrs. Xu, I always met Fang Shaoqin. Speaking of which, she came earlier than me every day, but she waited obediently outside the second door. Let's go to greet Mrs. Xu together.It is better to make friends with such a clever girl than to use them.

In my opinion, even if I tell her about Hongluan's situation, I also need to find a chance for her to meet Hongluan, and hope that her character will play a role at the critical moment..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, Mrs. Xu's illness is finally cured, and she began to deal with some daily affairs normally. However, every time she invites the nuns to talk about things, she always likes to have me by her side. Whenever I feel bored, I will Counting the square bricks under my feet with my head down, I found out that Mrs. Xu's house has a total of 740 six bricks, of course, this figure does not include the inner room..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, I have received your letter. You don't have to worry about me. I didn't feel any pain. The main reason is that standing next to Mrs. Xu and watching her handle housework is a bit boring. To set rules in front of mother-in-law, every daughter-in-law , They all came here like this, since others can do it, I can naturally do it too.

Moreover, the current situation has changed a lot. Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Fang Shaoqin.

She and I go to greet Mrs. Xu early in the morning every day. Mrs. Xu regrets that she has to get up at three or four o'clock in the morning to rush to the mansion from Peanut Alley. Fang Shaoqin said, as a junior, how could he surpass his aunt.

Mrs. Xu was silent for a long time, and then let Fang Shaoqin and I go to Xianji Courtyard every three days to say hello, so that I can spend all my time in Wanqingxuan..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, Zhenniang came to me today and said that the 'Rong Yang Gao' that Hongluan often eats needs to be prepared. I have seen this expense in the accounts of Dexinyuan before. Specifically asked about the situation.

Zhenniang said that it is all made of precious medicinal materials. Hongluan needs to eat a spoonful of soup every day, and a small jar of it a month, which costs about 300 taels of silver.

I was shocked when I heard that, so I asked Zhenniang to show me the prescription of 'Rong Yang Gao'.

As a result, Zhenniang said that this prescription was the secret recipe of Lu Qin, a famous doctor in Yongzhou, and it was not available in the mansion.He also said that Hong Luan used to be thin and weak, and couldn't raise it well. After eating this prescription, his face became a little rosy.

I didn't say much, and took the money to Dexiyuan.But I was a little worried.

Hong Luan is seven years old, but her stature is only four or five years old. Since this 'Rong Yang Gao' is so nourishing, why is her body not growing?

During this period of time, as long as I am not in Xianjiyuan, I will stay in Wanqingxuan, hoping to make Hongluan adapt to my existence in this way.

Ever since Zhenniang mentioned this 'Rong Yang Ointment', I have carefully observed how Hongluan eats.I found that every morning when she wakes up, she eats a spoonful of 'Rong Yang Gao' with relish. If Madam Lei is slow to give it, she will lose her temper. Usually, her appetite is surprisingly small.One day, I quietly told Madam Lei not to feed her if she didn’t want to eat. As a result, she only drank five small glasses of water all day and didn’t eat anything.

As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous. I am very worried about her appearance.Maosheng, can you send someone to find out what is in this 'Rong Yang Gao', anyway, I feel inappropriate when I hear the name..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, I have received your letter. Knowing that you sent someone to inquire about 'Rong Yang Gao', I feel a little more at ease. I hope to get your good news as soon as possible.

In the past few days, the weather in Yongzhou has gradually warmed up, and I have already changed into a single shirt.I don't know how the temperature is over there?How long will it take for you to arrive in Gaochang?

It is an old rule in the mansion that at this time of year, people from the needle team should be invited to start preparing summer clothes.I took this opportunity to visit Huaiyuan, greeted Mrs. Wei, and asked Baoniang casually to see if there is anything I need. If Dexinyuan is not convenient, I will pay from Liyuan. It's the same.

Bao Niang was very polite, she didn't need to say anything, and when she walked in, she even gave me a bolt of sky-blue tulle and asked me to make a skirt.I was afraid of what Baoniang would think if I rejected it, so I brought it back happily, but I felt very embarrassed in my heart, and then I cooked a sweet soup of barley, mung bean and lily for Aunt Duan to send over. Although the soup is simple , but it is a good thing for whitening and anti-freckle.

After Aunt Duan came back, she said that Bao Niang liked it very much, so I wrote the recipe and sent it to Aunt Duan, hoping Mrs. Wei really liked it..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, I haven't received your reply, and I don't know how the investigation of 'Rongyangjiao' is going.

Since I didn't have to pay Mrs. Xu every day because of Fang Shaoqin last time, Fang Shaoqin often came to Liyuan to rush to the door, and every time she came, Zhenniang would come to say hello. In this way, my place is really lively Not a lot.

I'm afraid you don't know yet, Fang Shaoqin and Zhenniang both came out of Jiangnan Hongxiu Academy, and they also studied painting under the same teacher.Together, they talked softly and told anecdotes about the past, which brought a lively atmosphere to Liyuan and relieved my loneliness.

But there is one thing that makes me very dissatisfied.

Do you still remember that when I entertained Fang Shaoqin for the first time, I let her lie on the big kang in my east room out of compassion for a while, who knew that she fell in love with that atmosphere, When I come to my place, I always think about going to the big kang to read a book, and even Zhen Niang looks around our bedroom.

Anyway, it’s our husband and wife’s private domain after all. Although you are not at home, I can feel it when I see your half-read book next to your pillow and the jade pendant you often hang on the mirror. The breath you left behind.It seems that you just went to Qinyuan, like every day we are together, you will come back at dinner time, instead of rushing to Gaochang day and night, getting farther and farther away from me!
I was just thinking about tidying up the warm pavilion next to the open mansion, hanging bamboo curtains, placing some furniture, and arranging it as a living room dedicated to receiving female guests, so that no one will peep into our room, you How do you feel..."

* * * * * *
"Maosheng, after receiving the letter, knowing that you have successfully arrived in Gaochang, a big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Since you said that I can change the house at will, I will tell Siping to start preparations, and then I can't say that I messed up the house.

Speaking of it, I found that the most common word you use for me is 'mess', in your heart, am I really a person who doesn't follow the rules and act indiscriminately..."
