Value peace

Chapter 224

Gu Xiyan sighed, handed Hongluan to Lei Momo to hold her, and then brought a few people who usually served Hongluan to the Liyuan.

Hongluan was crying and fussing all the way, but Gu Xiyan ignored her, once she entered a room, someone put her standing in the middle of the room, and let her cry, and then dragged Zhizi to the kang to play with rope.

Zhi Zi looked anxiously at Hong Luan who was about to choke with tears, and said, "Young Madam, I, I'd better go down!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "No, you can play with me for a while."

Zhi Zi didn't dare to say anything, and nervously played rope with Gu Xiyan.

The two played for a while, when Hongluan suddenly ran over and patted Zhizi with a gloomy expression, "Come down, come down..."

"Stand up for me!" Gu Xiyan suddenly put on a serious face, looking at Hongluan coldly.

Hongluan was so frightened that she trembled, and stood on the edge of the kang with tears all over her face.

Gu Xiyan's face paled slightly, and she said softly, "Do you want to play with us?"

Hong Luan nodded in a daze.

"Okay then, let Madam Lei wash your face and hair, clean up and come back to the kang."

Seeing this, Sister Lei didn't wait for Hong Luan to say anything, so she hurriedly hugged Hong Luan to clean her face.

After tidying up Hongluan, Madam Lei carefully put Hongluan on the kang.

Gu Xiyan hugged Hongluan: "Come on, let's fight Zhizi and beat Zhizi..."

At first, Hongluan lay stiffly in Gu Xiyan's arms, but later Gu Xiyan taught her to turn the rope with her hands, and defeated Zhizi, Hongluan's attitude softened a bit.

Rope turning is actually a very boring game. The first few tricks are similar, but it can train children's finger mobility, which is especially suitable for children like Hongluan.

With the child by her side, the time passed quickly, and when Qi Maosheng came back, Hongluan was already able to have two games with Zhizi alone.

Seeing that Gu Xiyan asked her to greet Qi Maosheng, Hong Luan hesitated a bit.

Gu Xiyan said softly, "Don't Hongluan want to see Zhenniang?"

Hongluan carefully observed Gu Xiyan's expression, and seeing her smiling, she whispered "Think".

"That's good!" Gu Xiyan coaxed her, "I'll say hello to Daddy later, we'll go see Mother Zhen after lunch."

When Qi Maosheng finished grooming and went to the kang, Gu Xiyan personally brought a garden for Hong Luan, and Hong Luan also bowed to Qi Maosheng in a dignified manner.

Gu Xiyan kept Hongluan for dinner, Qi Maosheng just said "um" softly, without any expression of joy.

When the kang table was removed, Gu Xiyan asked Xingyu to serve Qi Maosheng for a lunch break, while she took Hongluan to see Zhenniang.

Qi Maosheng said: "You didn't sleep well last night, you should go after a while!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "I promised the child, but I have to abide by it."

Still insisted on going to Zhenniang's place.

When Zhenniang saw that Gu Xiyan had brought Hong Luan again, she had a surprised expression on her face.

Hongluan was about to run over to Zhenniang, but Gu Xiyan stopped her: "Zhenniang is going to take a lunch break, let's come see her tomorrow, okay?"

A provocative look flashed in Zhenniang's eyes, and she said softly: "Hongluan, come to me!"

Hongluan quickly ran to Zhenniang's side, and leaned into her arms.

Gu Xiyan smiled lightly.

Zhenniang was talking to Hongluan softly, Hongluan was very happy, and chattered to her about the rope-tipping with Gu Xiyan this morning, not as quiet as usual.

Among them, Zhenniang coughed a few times, Hongluan frowned and said worriedly: "Zhenniang, when will you be okay? I miss you!"

Zhenniang looked at Gu Xiyan thoughtfully, smiled and said to Hongluan: "Hongluan, do you want to come here to accompany me?"

Hong Luan nodded.

Zhenniang looked at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan didn't even look at Zhenniang, and said softly: "Hongluan, but you promised me, after seeing Zhenniang, go back to take a nap with me... If you don't abide by our agreement, I don't have to, either. Promised, in the future, I will never bring you to see Zhenniang again!"

Hongluan looked at Zhenniang, then at Gu Xiyan, with a conflicted look on her face.

Gu Xiyan stretched out her hand and looked at Hongluan with a smile: "You are here, so noisy that Zhenniang can't take her lunch break...I promise you, when you wake up from lunch break, we will come to see Zhenniang again, how about it?"

Hongluan looked at Zhenniang who looked sullen, nodded, and reluctantly said to Zhenniang: "Zhenniang, you should rest well, I will come to see you again later!"

Zhenniang looked at Gu Xiyan with a half-smile, and stroked Hongluan's hair.

Gu Xiyan asked Lei Momo to carry Hongluan back to Wanqingxuan, and said with a smile: "Mother Zhen, you should be thankful... This child has a little conscience, and I know that I love you..."

Zhenniang probably endured it in front of Hongluan, and when she saw Hongluan leaving, she coughed loudly a few times and said, "Hongluan, but the child I brought up with one hand..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and pushed open the north window, a gust of cold wind blew in, and the curtains in the room rolled up like clouds, changing into various shapes.

"I really don't understand why you still offended me at this time of day..."

Zhenniang was slightly taken aback.

"I just want to say that the room is not ventilated. Tell me, what will those nuns and maids do to please me?"

Zhenniang looked at the wide open window, her face turned pale.

"I heard people say that Mrs. Ye gave you a lot of money, and you don't have a caring person. I want to believe that if I go to your room and copy it, I will be able to copy all those things. !"

Zhenniang was a little dumbfounded: "Then, those things were all given to me by Mrs. Ye..."

Gu Xiyan shook her head: "I said that you have never been a family, and you still don't admit it... Mrs. Ye's things are worthless, and it's useless if you want them. The valuable things are all on the register... …When it was put into the warehouse, when it was taken out, who took it, and who gave it to the safekeeping, you can remember it all clearly. However, you can also make a bet with me, "Speaking of this, Gu Xiyan showed a sarcastic smile, "Betting that Mrs. Xu is willing to offend me for you, and give me a false copy of the booklet in the house... Or, say that Mrs. Ye lost everything in the private treasury..."

"You, you..." Zhenniang's face was ashen, she clutched her chest, and coughed loudly.

"How about, let's negotiate a deal!" Gu Xiyan was wearing a big uniform and felt a little cold, so she closed the window and walked to the edge of Zhenniang's bed.

Zhenniang looked at her suspiciously.

Gu Xiyan smiled, and said: "When Hongluan comes to see you, you tell her that your illness requires rest and you can no longer take care of her, and let her have to listen to Mother Lei if she has anything to do in the future." of."

Zhenniang looked at Gu Xiyan with gloomy eyes.

Gu Xiyan smiled calmly, looking back at Zhenniang without hesitation.

"If you are satisfied with what you have done, I will send you to the Taoist temple to recuperate after the [-]th day of the first lunar month. You can also take all the things Mrs. Ye gave you... After a few years, the rumors will not be so good Tighten up, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, the sea is wide enough for fish to jump into, you can go wherever you want... What do you think?"

Zhenniang looked uncertain, and said fiercely: "What if I don't agree?"

"I don't agree!" Gu Xiyan sighed, "It depends on my mood. If I was in a good mood at that time, I would give you 50 taels of silver and let you go back to the Wang family to recuperate; if I was in a bad mood... ...I heard Maosheng say that Liangdi is very poor, there are many people, and the brothers only marry one wife. As long as they can carry on the family, they want any kind of woman..."

Zhenniang stared at her with wide eyes, terrified: "You, you, you..."

Gu Xiyan smiled coldly: "You can make a decision quickly... I was so troubled by you yesterday, and now I am in a bad mood..."

On the way back to the Liyuan, Duanniang glanced at Gu Xiyan from time to time, Gu Xiyan sighed, and stood still under the same roof: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Duanniang hesitated for a while, then said: "Is it your master's idea to send Zhenniang to Liangdi?"

Gu Xiyan laughed: "That's to scare her!"

But Duanniang said seriously: "Young Madam, don't blame me for saying you, you are sometimes too weak..."

Gu Xiyan was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Aunt Duan, you don't know, men are sometimes very strange. If there is a woman who deeply loves him, it's okay if he doesn't know, but if he knows, he will be a little bit Curious...whether the other party is beautiful, what kind of person he is, why he likes me...it's inevitable that the more you look at her, the more pleasing you will be. Even if you don't like her in your heart, you will look at her differently..." At this point, she turned to Duan Niang Blinking his eyes, "Why should Maosheng be surprised because I am different from Zhenniang?"

Duan Niang looked at the playful Gu Xiyan, and smiled slightly.

* * * * * *
Maybe Zhenniang figured it out by herself, maybe Gu Xiyan's words had an effect, after two days, she told Hongluan what she said to take care of Xiyan.

At first, Hongluan found it hard to accept, she wrapped herself in the quilt and ignored no one, Zhizi stayed with her all the time, Gu Xiyan was also a little anxious, she ran to Qinyuan to find Qi Maosheng: "You said last time , someone gave you a puppy, who did you give it to?"

Qi Maosheng covered the spy in his hand with a stack of paper in front of him, picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and then said with a smile: "What happened, you ran in such a hurry?"

Gu Xiyan didn't care about Qi Maosheng's actions, and said: "Don't worry about it, find a way to get me a puppy!"

Qi Maosheng called Erping to come in: "Go, go to the third master's house, and catch a puppy!"

Not long after Gu Xiyan returned to Wanqingxuan, the servant of Qinyuan sent a long-haired poodle.

It is estimated that people in the mansion seldom saw the dog, and everyone looked at it strangely. The dog had just arrived in a strange place, and was surrounded by people. Naturally, he was a little scared, retreated to the corner of the bed, and barked.

Zhi Zi pushed the quilt and said, "Miss San, look quickly, what a beautiful dog!"

At first, there was no movement in the quilt, but as the discussions became more and more loud and the dogs barked more and more happily, the quilt was lifted a crack.

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Children like small animals, and I hope this puppy can replace the sadness that Zhenniang has caused Hongluan to leave.
