Value peace

Chapter 229 The Uninvited Guest
Gu Xiyan returned to the Liyuan with some irony.

Mrs. Wei was afraid that other people's children would take advantage of her family, but who would have thought that Mrs. Zhou is not rare at all!
Gu Xiyan went to see the child first.

With a face like a white glutinous ball, the brows and eyes are stretched out, and the small red mouth is pouting and sleeping.

She stroked Hanguan's black hair, sighed, and told the nurse at the side: "Clean up, someone will come from Suanmiao Hutong to pick you up later!"

The nuns opened their mouths wide and looked at each other.

Back in the house, Gu Xiyan was reading a book on the kang, and someone whispered outside.

Gu Xiyan raised her head, and Xing Yu, who was serving at the side, hurriedly said: "Young Madam, I'll go and have a look!"

Speaking of which, among the girls, Xing Yu is the most able to read words and expressions.

Gu Xiyan nodded, lowered her head to look at a few lines of writing, Xing Yu turned back, and said softly: "Young Madam, you are from Suanmiao Hutong, so it's up to the child."

So fast?
Gu Xiyan was stunned, she was silent for a moment, and said, "Auntie Duan can help you make arrangements!"

Xingyu went away in response.

Gu Xiyan reluctantly read a few lines again, only to feel upset, and closed the page with a "snap", and was about to call for someone, when Xing Yu came in: "Young Madam, the young lady of the Cui family is asking to see you!" !"

"Young Mistress of the Cui family?" Gu Xiyan frowned, "Who is it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone lifted the curtain and came in: "Why, you won't recognize me when you become Mrs. Yan Guogong!" After she finished speaking, she giggled.

Gu Xiyan saw that it was Liu Meier.

She was overjoyed, and stepped forward to greet her: "Why are you? How did you come here? I didn't say anything beforehand..."

Liu Mei'er was plumper than before her marriage, her skin was more translucent, and the brows were gentle and calm.

Gu Xiyan pulled her to sit on the kang.

"My husband has won the first place in the top two!"

"Really?" Gu Xiyan was also happy for them.

Liu Meier nodded, and said: "We are from Yandi, we just went to take the exam, to fight for a literary name, and we are not planning to become an official, so we got the good news and thanked our teacher and came back immediately... I want to give you a surprise. I didn't ask anyone to deliver a letter..." Then, someone brought in a child dressed in pink and jade, and Liu Mei'er took the child and said, "My son, brother Sheng."

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan smiled and stretched out her hand, "Give me a hug!"

Brother Sheng was almost one year old, and he didn't recognize his birth at all. As soon as he got on Gu Xiyan's body, he stretched out his white and tender hands to grab the gemstone hairpin stuck on her head.

Gu Xiyan avoided his little hand with a chuckle.

Liu Meier smiled and grabbed Brother Sheng's hand: "Don't break your aunt's things!"

Gu Xiyan was startled, and then remembered that, in terms of seniority, she was still Brother Sheng's aunt.

She hurriedly said: "Xing Yu, went to call Aunt Duan, said that Brother Sheng is here, let me find two pieces of good jade, and give it to Brother Sheng as a meeting gift!"

Liu Meier smiled and said: "I came here just because of your meeting ceremony!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Isn't this just for fun!"

While the two were talking, the girls served tea and snacks.

Seeing Brother Sheng, he twisted his body to grab some snacks.

Liu Mei'er hurriedly blocked her son's little hand: "What's the matter, it seems to be moving in the yard."

Gu Xiyan hesitated for a moment, and said about Brother Han: "I just wanted to suppress the joy, who knew the reaction of the wives would be so great!"

Liu Mei'er took her son from Gu Xiyan's hand and handed it to the nanny at the side, saying: "I think I'm hungry, you guys go down!" Wink.

Xing Yu cleverly led the house full of nuns and maids away.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Meier moved the kang table, leaned forward with her elbows and said, "I just heard about you, that's why I went to Yongzhou to have a rest before going back to the peaks!"

Gu Xiyan was startled.

Liu Mei'er said: "You can't always be like this, you have to find folk remedies... The doctors in the mansion don't dare to prescribe strong medicines, they only take warm and tonic prescriptions to leave you..."

Gu Xiyan showed surprise on her face.

Liu Meier said: "I have a little aunt who is just like you, she said it's okay, but she just couldn't conceive... Then she asked for a folk remedy, and she gave birth to a fat girl the next year, and now she's pregnant again Second child……"

Gu Xiyan was a little moved: "What prescription? Does it really work?"

"It works, it works." Liu Mei'er's expression was a little twitchy, "I have used it too!"

"Ah!" Gu Xiyan was shocked, "You used it too?"

Liu Meier nodded: "Isn't it true that I didn't get pregnant in the first few months? My family was in a hurry... My aunt took me there secretly, and I got pregnant not long after I came back..."

"Is there such a god?" Gu Xiyan doubted.

Liu Meier leaned close to her ear and said, "We went to church and drank holy water...don't tell anyone!"

Gu Xiyan stood there completely in a daze.

The holy water of the church...can make a person pregnant...

This is really, really!

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Meier thought that Gu Xiyan didn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "Really, really, I didn't lie to you. But it's a bit expensive, a glass of holy water cost me 200 taels of silver... But it really works..."

Why do you listen to what the elephant stick did?

"Oh!" Liu Meier frowned unhappily when she saw that Gu Xiyan's interest had greatly diminished, "Don't believe me, listen to me, try it, I won't lie to you!"

Gu Xiyan felt that her head was full of black lines, and said, "Have you gone to pay Mrs. Wei well?"

Liu Mei'er's person was a little confused, and said: "I haven't gone yet... Didn't I remember you!"

"I'll accompany you to greet Mrs. Wei!" Gu Xiyan got up, "Come to my place for lunch later."

Liu Meier hesitated for a while, then took the child and followed Gu Xiyan to Mrs. Wei's place.

Mrs. Wei did not show any joy at Liu Meier's arrival, but looked at Brother Sheng annoyedly, but Brother Sheng didn't care about it, and burst into tears under Mrs. Wei's cold gaze.

Mrs. Wei frowned, and said calmly, "It's so noisy!"

Liu Meier hurriedly said goodbye.

When the two left Huaiyuan, Gu Xiyan said hesitantly: "Don't take it to heart... Speaking of it, it's all my fault, there has been no movement, even taking her in a bad mood..."

Liu Meier shook Gu Xiyan's hand, and said firmly: "Xiyan, just listen to me once, and go to church to worship... Anyway, now a dead horse is regarded as a living horse doctor, no matter how bad it is, you can go to Jiufeng Let's go, so as not to stay in this mansion, looking at my aunt's face every day... Even if she is not sick, she will be seriously ill!"

Go to Jiufeng for a walk?
These words really touched Gu Xiyan's heart.

When he was in Hongtai, Qi Maosheng also said that Jiufeng is only two or three days away from here, and the time is not long. You should be able to come back in a week, and the summer is very cool...Although the summer in Yandi is also very cool , but being able to go out for a walk makes people happy just thinking about it.

In the evening, she went to Mrs. Wei's place, and explained Liu Meier's reason for coming: "...there is a place in Jiufeng that is very effective in praying for a child. My sister is kind, and I want to try it too... "

Mrs. Wei nodded, and said, "That's fine, it's better than being hanged on a tree by Nanny Zhao!"

Two days later, someone from the Cui family came, saying that a girl from the Cui family was getting married and wanted to invite Gu Xiyan to watch the ceremony. Gu Xiyan asked Mrs. Xu for instructions. Mrs. Xu was a little reluctant at first, but she couldn't stand the Cui family's coming. After a lot of compliments from people, he finally agreed.

Gu Xiyan was relieved when she got the answer, and after she went back, she gave the nanny 20 taels of silver, and the nanny took the silver and thanked her and left.

Suddenly, Gu Xiyan felt relaxed all over her body, a little bit excited that Monkey King had lifted the magic spell.

She hurriedly asked Duan Niang to pack her bags, and then asked someone to contact Liu Meier at the Cui family's mansion in Yongzhou, and they made an appointment to leave early the next morning.

At night, Gu Xiyan kept asking Duanniang: "Have you got my rose red pomegranate dress?"

"Bring it!" Duanniang replied.

"Remember to bring those fairy shoes."

Duanniang said: "I know I know!"

"Jewelry should not be too expensive, be careful that people will see it!"

"You told me." Duanniang repeated Gu Xiyan's confession, "You have to pretend to be a relative of your aunt, you can't say that you are the wife of the Duke!"

"Remember to bring water, pickles, and steamed buns!"

"The things outside are not clean, you have said it several times... everything is ready." Duan Niang was a little impatient.

Gu Xiyan was still thinking that something was negligent, but the sound of "Huo Huo"'s shoes rubbing against the ground came from outside.

She was startled, and saw Qi Maosheng enter with the curtain lifted.

Gu Xiyan stayed there: "You, why are you back at this time! Didn't you say you'll be back next month?"

Qi Maosheng was also startled: "Aren't you happy when I come back?" As he spoke, he found that everyone in the room was full of excitement, "What's wrong with you?" He was full of doubts.

"Oh, no, it's fine!" Gu Xiyan hurriedly called someone to fetch water for Qi Maosheng to freshen up, and then helped him change his clothes, "Have you eaten yet?"

Everyone in the room walked out with sullen expressions.

Qi Maosheng took off his coat and said, "Not yet!"

Gu Xiyan just asked casually, unexpectedly, at this time, Qi Maosheng hadn't eaten yet.

She called Xing Yu to order the kitchen to cook for Qi Maosheng, Qi Maosheng said: "No, I will change clothes and leave immediately."

Gu Xiyan was startled again.

Qi Maosheng kissed her on the cheek, and said: "The imperial court has formally used troops against Liang...a messenger from Jin has come to discuss what I should do."

It turned out that he rushed back to Yongzhou for this matter.

Gu Xiyan was puzzled and said: "Isn't Liang land already occupied by the court? Why did you send troops again?"

Qi Maosheng washed his face, changed his robes again, and said, "In the past, the governor's mansion was established, but this time, Zheng Pengfei's title is to be removed..."

Once the balanced situation is broken, who knows what will happen!

Gu Xiyan's expression became a little dignified: "I'll have someone deliver the food to Qinyuan!"

Qi Maosheng shook his head and said, "Leave me alone... I don't know when this matter will end..."

Even so, Gu Xiyan still stuffed Qi Maosheng with two steamed buns: "Stop your belly!"

Qi Maosheng nodded, kissed Gu Xiyan on the cheek again, and left in a hurry.

Gu Xiyan immediately acted like a discouraged ball, and told Xing Yu listlessly: "Tomorrow morning, you can go to Cui's house and say something, it seems that we can't leave!"
