Value peace

Chapter 22

The sky in the west is gradually rendered with layers of gorgeous sunset glow like silk, and paints Wuyuan with a warm golden yellow. The faint sound of cars and horses in the east highlights its tranquility.

Gu Xiyan personally poured a cup of tea for Mammy Zhao: "Mommy, I have hurt you."

Zhao Nanny smiled indifferently: "What's the matter with the girl, I can talk with the girl, that's my blessing."

When the two people who were not familiar with each other had something to say, Gu Xiyan used to keep silent, but it was Mother Zhao who told some anecdotes with witty words, which made Gu Xiyan happy from time to time.

Gradually, the sky darkened, Zhao Mama said: "The moon will rise soon, why don't you go to the yard to enjoy the moon."

Naturally, Gu Xiyan had no objection, Mammy Zhao brought out a small table from the house, Gu Xiyan brought out two embroidered pier, and the two of them put out moon cakes, watermelon, apples, dates, grapes and other foods, and ate them at the same time , while waiting for the moon to rise.

Nanny Zhao peeled a grape and handed it to Gu Xiyan's mouth, and said affectionately, "Second Miss, taste it quickly, this is a tribute from Fengtai, and it's the first time I've eaten it in these few years."

Grape juice was still flowing from her fingers, Gu Xiyan felt a little dirty, but she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she had to open her mouth to eat it.Grapes are plump and juicy, sweet and sour, but Gu Xiyan has never liked grapes since she was a child. She likes to eat grapes, so of course she is not interested in them.Zhao Nanny peeled another one and handed it to Gu Xiyan's mouth, but Gu Xiyan hurriedly declined: "It's a bit sour."

After hearing this, Mother Zhao said: "I'll try it." She ate the grapes in one gulp: "It's not sour, it's sweet!"

Gu Xiyan picked up the mooncake that had already been cut and looked at the filling. It was five dan kernels, and there were red xiang and green xiang in it. She put down the mooncake and picked up a watermelon to take a bite. All the early spring red jade I have eaten are much sweeter, probably because there is no such thing as chemical fertilizer in this world.

Zhao mama picked up grapes and ate them.

The moon gradually reached the hollow, hanging in the gray-blue sky like a jade plate, and the bright moonlight gently sprinkled on every corner of the yard, on Gu Xiyan's face and clothes, reminding Gu Xiyan of That night in the camphor forest.

Before I knew it, it had been almost two months since I arrived in Xia Country.Although I have encountered many things, fortunately, I have not been tied up by people as monsters... Humans are the most adaptable creatures in the world, and it is only two short months. It seems like a dream, gradually fading out of my memory...Maybe it's because there is no one or anything worth worrying about...

Gu Xiyan stood up and bathed in the moonlight and waved her fist in the air, imitating the heroines in Korean dramas and shouting: "Come on, Xiyan, come on, Xiyan, life is only a few dozen years, and some people will drink it because of drinking." The water is swallowed to death, the most important thing is to be happy..."

Mother Zhao stared at her dumbfounded.

Gu Xiyan turned her head and smiled at Zhao Mama, her beautiful face slowly bloomed in the moonlight, looking bright and seductive.

Zhao Nanny only felt a movement in her chest, and blurted out: "Second Miss really looks like Madam."

Gu Xiyan knew that Madam Zhao's wife referred to her biological mother, Lian Shi, and asked her curiously, "How did my mother die?"

Zhao Nanny's whole body was stiff, her face was as white as plaster under the moonlight, and she murmured, "I, we are servants, how do we know..."

Gu Xiyan sighed secretly in her heart, I'm afraid it's another story!

She stood up and looked around.

The moonlight shone softly and hazyly on the yard, the bluestone bricks glistened like a layer of silver, but there were jagged and mottled black shadows at the foot of the trees.

It has always been like this, where there is light there must be darkness.

She stopped asking, and changed the subject on her own initiative: "I think this watermelon tastes good, where did it come from?"

Zhao Mama was a straightforward person, seeing that Gu Xiyan no longer pressed questions and regained her usual cheerfulness, the two of them started talking and laughing again.

The moonlight is getting brighter, Gu Xiyan basically reads until this time every day since arriving here, and now that her biological clock is Sushu, she starts to yawn. Nodding again and again.

After returning to the room to wash, Gu Xiyan fell asleep.

Mammy Zhao blew out the lamp, packed up her things, and saw through the window that gorgeous fireworks exploded in the western sky from time to time. She knew that this was the fire dragon dance at Lord Fang's house. Afterwards, I only heard a few old sisters talking about the grand occasion at that time. Now that I saw the fireworks, I felt even more itchy in my heart. Looking back, I saw Gu Xiyan's white jade face like a quiet Hua Anxiang under the moonlight, and hesitated for a while. She still took the door away.

Gu Xiyan lay quietly in the moonlight, bright, elegant, and soft, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved like a red water chestnut, as if she had entered a beautiful dream.

When Baibai came in, he saw such a scene.

He stared blankly for a while, then tiptoedly began to rummage through the house.

Gu Xiyan turned over suddenly, and the sound of rustling under the quilt was startling for a hundred years. When he turned his head, he saw Gui Guan standing quietly in front of Gu Xiyan's house.

The bright moonlight shone on his handsome outline, which appeared unusually angular, with gloomy and depressed brows.

Bainian covered his heart, forced a smile and gestured for Guan Gui to go out and speak.

The two went out and stood on the steps in front of Gu Xiyan's house.

Bai Qing said: "I can't bear it for a day, I want to leave, even if I end up like Huanling..."

Guiguan didn't speak for a long time, but just watched the hundred years quietly, quiet and melancholy.

Bainian suddenly became agitated under Guiguan's gaze, and he said sharply: "I'm not like you...you are 14 years old this year and have already started to develop, he won't ask you to stay in bed anymore...now Huanling Dead, only me and Shuxiang... I can't take it, I really can't take it anymore..." The exquisite facial features were frighteningly distorted.

Guiguan asked softly: "Go, where are you going? Don't forget, you have no household loan, no money..."

Hundred Years trembled all over: "I don't care, I don't want to stay here even if I die..."

Gui Guan gently raised his head to look at the moon, his eyes were sad.

Bainian said "thank you" with tears in his eyes, then went back to Gu Xiyan's room and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Suddenly there was a deep sigh in the room: "What's the use of these clothes, you have to pawn them in the pawn shop, and they will find them out..."

Gui Guan rushed into the house when he heard the sound.

The second girl, Gu Xiyan, was sitting with her arms around her quilt, looking at Baibai with a calm expression.

Standing beside the box at a loss for a hundred years, she was still holding a light yellow bellyband embroidered with peony flowers.

Gui Guan rushed forward and grabbed Gu Xiyan by the neck.

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

She has never had a fight with anyone in all her life.

Just like that, Gu Xiyan was thrown onto the bed by Gui Guan, who strangled her neck.

Her calmness came into play again at this moment, when she was thrown onto the bed by Gui Guan, she simultaneously raised her foot and kicked Gui Guan's lower body fiercely.

Gui Guan was so painful that beads of sweat came out of his forehead at that time, but he still didn't let go, while pinching Gu Xiyan relentlessly, he shouted at Baibai: "Hurry up and help me!"

Hundred Years panicked and said "Oh", and took a few steps forward, still holding the light yellow apron embroidered with peonies in his hand, he said at a loss, "What, how can I help?"

In just a few short sentences, Gu Xiyan kicked Gui Guan's lower body vigorously again and again. Gui Guan bent over in pain, covered his lower body with his hands involuntarily, and fell on the bed like a shrimp. on the foot of the couch.

Hundred Years was so frightened that he let out a sharp cry.

"Shut up!" Two voices, a man and a woman, reprimanded Hundred Years at the same time.

Hundred Years covered his mouth in horror.

The man is of course Gui Guan, and the woman is of course Gu Xiyan.The two reprimanded for a hundred years in unison, and then looked at each other in disbelief.

Gu Xiyan is not an ordinary lady after all, thanks to the advanced modern information, her knowledge is far beyond that of her contemporaries, and she has long been aware of the abnormalities around Master Gu.Now that she wanted to escape for a hundred years, she told him that she was going to help him, and told him that her mirror had gold ornaments, but she didn't think about it, but it led to Gui Guan's behavior, which was completely like killing someone after the theft was discovered. frame.

After reading so many newspapers and watching so much TV, don't you know what the consequences will be?What's more, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Gu Xi jumped off the bed with a terrified complexion, pulled out her trouser belt and wrapped it around Gui Guan's neck: "If you dare to move, I will strangle you to death." She was afraid that Gui Guan would not believe her determination Like, strangled hard.

Gui Guan immediately grabbed the white silk around his neck with both hands, rolled his eyes like a dead fish, and stood upright on the footboard of the couch.

Shibai shivered, and suddenly said to Gu Xiyan: "Second girl, I'll call someone for you!" After finishing speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Guiguan raised his head in disbelief, stretched out his hand with difficulty and called "you" to the hundred-year-old figure, and then lowered it decadently.

Gu Xiyan was even more surprised. She didn't expect Gui Guan to help for a hundred years, but when the situation was not good for a hundred years, she would immediately turn her face and deny anyone, not even waiting for the tea to cool down.

She smiled coldly and said, "Guild Gui, it seems that your brother doesn't have as much confidence in you as you think."

Guiguan grabbed the Bai Ling on his neck with both hands and did not move, his face was as calm as water, but his eyes turned red as if a fire was burning.Gui Guan had never been in contact with Gu Xiyan before, and he regarded her as a daughter of a famous family who was raised in a deep boudoir. How could he have tasted the skill of those feet in the first confrontation this year, and seeing the chill in her eyes, he couldn't help but Secretly regretted that he had put himself in such a predicament in order to help a despicable villain who didn't know his kindness, which was also the result of his underestimation of others.He ran to find someone for a hundred years, and at most it took only two cups of tea. If he couldn't find a reason for Gu Xiyan to let him go, then all these years of bearing humiliation in Gu's mansion would be in vain, and his life might come to an end. That's it for today.

He suppressed the panic in his heart, and said lightly: "I heard that the master is entertaining guests in the outer court, and they are all dignitaries in the court!"

Gu Xiyan immediately knew what Gui Guan meant by saying this.

Negotiations are about to begin!

No one can lose the battle if they lose.Gu Xiyan pretended to be confident and looked at Guiguan with a smile, and said, "Are you negotiating terms with me?" She had a gentle expression and a soft voice, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife. , so that Guiguan can clearly understand the resentment in her heart.
