Value peace

Chapter 210

When Zhenniang left, Duanniang said worriedly: "Madam, this person Zhenniang..."

Gu Xiyan smiled coldly: "She is a talented woman, let's not waste it... I greeted her in advance, she couldn't get Hong Luan to speak, so she couldn't blame anyone, who told her She is a foster mother!"

It is estimated that this candidate is also a bit difficult for Mrs. Wei. There has been no news, but Hong Luan called Qi Maosheng "Dad" for the first time when he greeted him. Although it was only a word, Qi Maosheng was excited afterwards. I walked around the house with my hands behind my back for a long time.

Gu Xiyan was thoughtful, and called Mo Ju to tidy her clothes, and then called Yun Shang to change her clothes.

When Qi Maosheng came back, he saw Yun Shang who had been bowing his head and doing needlework for the past few days, and wondered: "Why change the clothes, just do it again."

Gu Xiyan was wearing her pajamas that she didn't have time to show off at the wedding night, taking pictures in front of the mirror, with pink lotus-like arms, a slender waist that couldn't be grasped, and a chain of colorful gemstones around her neck for the first time , reflecting Xi Yan's charming eyes, with various styles and seductive postures.

Qi Maosheng's heart skipped two beats unexpectedly.

It's been almost a year since we got married, how come...

However, Gu Xiyan seemed to know nothing about it, so she twisted her body and posed there: "I have to prepare two new year's goods at the end of the year, and I can save a little... Besides, my clothes are all tributes, so it's not worth it. If you don’t go anywhere, it shouldn’t be embarrassing to wear it out!” As he spoke, he twisted a small ruby ​​on his neck to play with.

Qi Maosheng was out of his mind, but later on he didn't hear what Gu Xiyan said, only saw Gu Xiyan walking towards him gracefully and pushed him, and then he understood.

"I'm talking to you, I don't care!" Gu Xiyan complained with her mouth pouted.

"Oh," Qi Maosheng hurriedly said, "I'm thinking about something!"

Gu Xiyan's pale fingers gently slid down his shoulders all the way: "Maosheng, I pour you bath water..." The ending sound was drawn out, making the voice even sweeter.

Qi Maosheng seemed to be evasive: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm going to take a bath, it's already winter, although there is a kang in the house, but don't be careless, be careful if you catch a cold, and put on a wool coat."

Gu Xiyan responded delicately.

Qi Maosheng breathed a sigh of relief after soaking in the bathtub, but in a flash, he thought of Gu Xiyan's charming appearance, and his heart became alive again.

It was also an exception last time, it seems to be nothing...

He was thinking about it when he saw Xi Yan still wearing that dress and pushing the door in. In the hot air, the expression on her face became softer and sweeter: "Maosheng, let me wipe your back for you!"

"No, no... um, okay!" Qi Maosheng was somewhat half-hearted.

Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled, and stretched her arms like bullying snow into the tub to find the handkerchief.

"Maosheng, I can't find it..." Gu Xiyan pouted and acted like a baby.

The bathtub is a bit high for Xiyan...Qi Maosheng thought in a daze, he took out the handkerchief from under his body and handed it to Gu Xiyan, not noticing that there was still a stack of handkerchiefs on the small table beside him. Neat veils.

Gu Xiyan slowly wiped Qi Maosheng's back: "Maosheng, Mrs. Zheng came to ask me for Xia Qing two days ago?"

Why are you begging Xia Qing?They don't even have to come to your house to beg for their servants? "

Gu Xiyan let out a low chuckle in Qi Maosheng's ear, and said coquettishly, "Silly Maosheng, he has taken a fancy to Xia Qing and wants to ask her to be his aunt!"

"Ah!" Qi Maosheng was stunned.

"I didn't agree at first!" Gu Xiyan muttered, "But my brother and sister came to ask for it in person, and Xia Qing is also willing..."

Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Zheng really brought it up on her own initiative.

The Zheng family was playing with her two daughters that day, and Qi Xiao happened to have something to talk to Qi Maosheng, and when it was time for dinner, Qi Maosheng invited Qi Xiao to the Liyuan for dinner, and by the way, Zheng's mother and daughter After picking it up, when Xia Qing was serving the dishes, Qi Xiao teased her a few times. Who knew that Mrs. Zheng saw it, and came to check on Gu Xiyan the next day: "I see that girl Xia Qing She looks really good, did Er Bo... take a look at her?"

At that time, Gu Xiyan was startled, and instinctively answered "No".

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since this is the case, sister-in-law might as well give it to me as a sister."

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a long time before realizing what Zheng was talking about.

"What does the third uncle mean?"

Mrs. Zheng sighed, and said: "Our master is not half-hearted. I used to bring a few young and beautiful people with me. At that time, my master was expecting me to have a male heir, so I didn't think about it, but Later... the mother-in-law made the decision, so Aunt Shi was accepted... There is also Aunt Liu in the family, who served me when I was young. She is five years older than me and has no children. It is rare for my master to feel this way. Just wanted to help with this idea..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't refuse, so she called Xia Qing to ask afterward.

Xia Qing was startled, then lowered her head and blushed and muttered, "It's all up to Madam."

Everyone is willing, what else can Gu Xiyan say.In the end, I had no choice but to tell Xia Qing: "Don't say anything for now, I have to wait for the master to come back to make up his mind."

Who knew that Xia Qing was uncharacteristically, and boldly said, "Slaves are willing to serve the third master".

In other words, people are afraid that Qi Maosheng will take a fancy to him and stay...

Gu Xiyan laughed out loud at that moment.

Mrs. Zheng came to ask Hui Yin in person early the next morning, and said something about "marrying a new couple to celebrate the New Year".

Seeing Qi Maosheng's appearance, Gu Xiyan was a little dazed, and teased, "Why, I can't bear to..."

Qi Maosheng stretched out his hand and pinched Gu Xiyan's nose: "Little vinegar jar!"

The drops of water in her hands dripped onto Gu Xiyan's skirt, staining a ball of water stains.

Gu Xiyan went to pat the water stains on her body: "Then why are you in a daze?"

He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "In two days it will be the tenth day of October, your birthday, do you want to invite all the sisters-in-law in the lobby to have fun... Speaking of which, Jiji was on the road, so this year we should have a good time It’s time to do it!”

Gu Xiyan pouted and said, "I don't have a husband to back me up, so I have to make a good show... I don't need it, so I better not make a fuss."

When Qi Maosheng said something else, Gu Xiyan pouted: "Maosheng, my clothes are all wet."

Qi Maosheng's gaze fell on Gu Xiyan again, and he said absently, "Then go and change your clothes."

After finally making up my mind to avoid Qinyuan, I wrote a few words without forcing my pen, and finally hurried back to Liyuan...

But that's it, Gu Xiyan's little daily life is still going on as usual.

Qi Maosheng only felt lucky, but Gu Xiyan felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

******
As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, things became more complicated.Chuang Tzu sent New Year's goods, rewards for each house and house, grand ancestor sacrifices, banquets for New Year's greetings from officials from the first to fifteenth day of the lunar new year, etc. Mrs. Xu finally couldn't move half of her body in the early morning of the Laba Festival.

Madam Yi from Xianjiyuan invited Qi Maosheng and his wife and Qi Yuzhi and his wife from Peanut Alley.

Mrs. Qi Maosheng arrived in a timely manner, and immediately arranged for a doctor to come to see him, but Qi Yuzhi came alone. When he arrived, the doctor had already diagnosed the result, saying that he had suffered from wind paralysis, and asked him to stay in bed for a while, so as not to work hard... …

Everyone's expressions were a little dull, as if they knew about Mrs. Xu's condition for the first time.

According to the rules, both Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin will be waiting on the bedside. Mrs. Xu asked Fang Shaoqin with her mouth slanted, Qi Yuzhi blushed and murmured: "Shaoqin, Shaoqin is pregnant, I just found out...doctor It is best not to move for these two months..."

pregnant?Gu Xiyan was really stunned this time.

Was this incident an accident, or was it premeditated...

When Mrs. Xu heard this, the wrinkles on her face hugged together like chrysanthemum petals: "Okay, okay, okay, let her rest at home, and don't get pregnant." Then, amidst congratulations from everyone, Madam Xu looked at Gu Xiyan's belly thoughtfully.

In this way, the Zhongfu of the Qi Mansion can only be handed over to Gu Xiyan.

Sure enough, as Gu Xiyan expected, Mrs. Xu transferred a team of experienced nurses to serve her, and pointed a few people to Fang Shaoqin's side.Gu Xiyan didn't show her face, and asked some assistants to step up.Among these people, there are those who are obedient, and of course there are those who are critical of everything. Gu Xiyan has a tough attitude, and she is completely "follow me and those who oppose me will perish." In a small courtyard where they live, it is said that they will deal with it after the Chinese New Year is over, and those who are missing will be filled by people recommended by Mrs. Wei.

For a moment, the entire Duke of Yan's mansion became a little trembling.

Mrs. Xu asked several times, Gu Xiyan said "yes", but there was no movement in her hand.

The stewards were all crystal-hearted, and things quickly started to run according to Xiyan's care. It was expected that someone would mess with the warehouse, but it didn't happen at all.It's just a pain for the Liu family, and they are not a North-South Merchant Company. The so-called New Year's supplies for the Qi family were all bought with real money.Fortunately, Liu Youcheng is an optimistic and cheerful person. He smiled and comforted his family members: "No matter what, we also enjoyed the luxury of a New Year's feast at the Duke's house."

Naturally, the Spring Festival festival went very smoothly, and Gu Xiyan's ability was unanimously praised by everyone in the Qi family.

During those few days, Qi Maosheng had a faint smile on his face.

In these bustling days, Gu Xiyan had other thoughts in her heart.

Her little days came as usual again.
