Value peace

Chapter 241

Everyone followed Gu Xiyan out the door with some doubts, and saw Brother Sheng standing there holding on to the pillars of the veranda beside him, and his wet nurse, Nanny Zhang, standing a few steps away from her, constantly moving towards He waved: "Come on, Brother Sheng, come to Mommy."

Brother Sheng looked around, but he didn't let go.

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth curled up.

Brother Sheng has been playing for a month at the age of one this year, and he is at the age of learning to walk.Aunt Gao’s courtyards are gradually higher in order, so there are trapezoidal corridors with railings between each courtyard. When Brother Sheng first came here, he walked around holding on to the railings every day. Hold on to the pillar and never let go.

Seeing Gu Xiyan and the others, the nurses and maidservants beside Brother Sheng bowed their knees to salute, and Brother Sheng burst into tears when his mouth was flattened, and Mother Zhang hurriedly hugged Brother Sheng in her arms.

Seeing Liu Mei'er, she frowned and said, "He's still young, so teach him slowly..."

Nanny Zhang hurriedly lowered her head and answered "Yes".

When Brother Sheng saw it, he stretched out his hand and cried for his mother to hug him.

Liu Mei'er hugged the baby in her arms and coaxed him for a while, and after he stopped crying, she handed it over to Nanny Zhang, and went to the kitchen with Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan persuaded her in a low voice: "A loving mother is a loser, you should let it go!"

Liu Meier smiled and said: "You are not a mother, you will know when you become a mother..."

Before she finished speaking, her personal nurse kept winking at Liu Meier.

Liu Mei'er didn't have any self-consciousness at all, and continued: "When I saw him crying, I felt as if I lost my soul. I wish I could show him to him, and I just beg him to stop crying..."

Gu Xiyan laughed out loud.

A very important reason why she likes being with Liu Meier is that Liu Meier has always regarded herself as a "patient" or "Mrs. Yan Guogong", she can say whatever she wants, and do what she needs to do, so that people Feel comfortable and at ease.

The group went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen were a few servants brought by Gu Xiyan. Everyone was sitting on the small table, chatting and laughing while preparing the dishes. Seeing Gu Xiyan coming in, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted her.One of the women stepped forward and said with a smile: "The custard is on the cage, it will be ready soon."

Ever since Gu Xiyan moved into Aunt Gao's yard, Aunt Gao ordered Hongyu to make egg custard with deer antler powder and cordyceps sinensis for her to eat, saying that it was a good medicine for a woman's body, and Liu Meier secretly tasted it while Aunt Gao was away. Take a bite.The taste was really not good, so when she heard it, she smiled at Gu Xiyan a few times.

Gu Xiyan doesn't care, just treat it as taking medicine.

She searched in her mind, found a recipe for braised abalone in braised sauce and told Hongyu to try it, while she and Liu Meier sat under the vine trellis in the middle of the yard to drink tea.

What Liu Meier drank was green tea, but what Gu Xiyan drank was hot ginger tea brewed with boiling water.

The shade of the trees is like an umbrella, the breeze is blowing, and you can see the blue sea and silver sand in the distance.

Gu Xiyan sighed contentedly.

There is nothing like this paradise on earth.

It would be perfect if Maosheng was by his side.

Thinking of Maosheng, Gu Xiyan felt a little disappointed.

On the fifth day she traveled from Yongzhou to Chunli, Xizhao's imperial decree arrived, allowing Yan to have [-] troops, but six thousand cavalry had to be stationed in Liang to cooperate with Xizhao to attack Liang.Qi Maosheng set off on the third day after receiving the imperial decree... Two days ago, I received a letter from Qi Maosheng. There were only a few short words "everything is well, please don't worry about it", and I don't know if it is really "well". It's still a fake "good".

While thinking, Gu Xiyan felt that someone was abducting her.

She looked up, and saw Liu Meier beside her pointing at the mobile corridor beside her: "Yan Hong is helping Aunt Gao sort out the medicinal materials again."

Gu Xiyan followed the trend, and saw Yan Hong struggling to carry a bamboo basket along the verandah to the warehouse where the herbs were kept.

Although Aunt Gao's courtyard is spacious, there are only two mothers who are over [-] years old and a janitor boy who is fifteen or sixteen years old, so after Gu Xiyan moved in, she took care of Aunt Gao's housework. He took it over, and sent Cuiyu and Yanhong to Aunt Gao's side to take care of her daily life.Because of Cuiyu's relationship, Gu Xiyan was alienated from both of them, and used Xingyu and Yunshang more often.Cuiyu knew it well, but Yanhong was confused, she didn't know what the two of them did not do well, and they were left idle like this.Now that Gu Xiyan has sent her an errand, she is naturally doing her best, hoping to recover the disadvantage that she is currently at a disadvantage, so no matter whether it is internal or external, she is happy to help Aunt Gao take care of it, come and go, Aunt Gao also liked this diligent little girl very much, she called Yanhong more than Cuiyu.

Liu Mei'er naturally didn't know about these things, she saw Yan Hong whose face was flushed with force, and said with a smile: "I see, this Yan Hong is almost becoming Aunt Gao's personal maid!"

Gu Xiyan naturally understood Yanhong's thoughts a little bit, she smiled lightly, and said: "Little girl, it's okay to do more!"

While the two were talking, they saw Madam Zhao walking in with Aunt Gao supported.

Gu Xiyan and Liu Meier hurriedly stood up, asked Aunt Gao to sit down under the vine trellis, and asked Xingyu to serve tea for Aunt Gao.

Aunt Gao looked at Gu Xiyan while Xing Yu was serving tea.

The crystal clear skin, pink cheeks, and ruddy lips are as delicate as flowers blooming in the spring breeze.

Aunt Gao couldn't help but nodded, and asked Madam Zhao to come out with a pulse pillow to check Gu Xiyan's pulse.

Everyone looked at Aunt Gao calmly, holding their breath, and when she stopped, Liu Meier immediately asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Gao smiled and said, "Well, the pulse condition is very peaceful."

Everyone smiled gratifiedly.

Zhao Mama put away the pulse pillow, and Aunt Gao smiled and said to Gu Xiyan: "I'm going to travel a long way in the past few days. Young Madam, I will write down what medicine I should take and what I should pay attention to. On paper, when the time comes, the young lady will just follow the orders."

Going on a long trip?at this time?Could it be that mother Zhao is still allowed to take care of her alone...

She suppressed a trace of anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you are old, if you have anything to do, it's the same if you ask us to do it!"

Aunt Gao laughed and said, "I want to see a doctor, how can this matter be replaced!"

"Why don't you invite people to your home, it's the same!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile.

Liu Meier also chimed in: "Yes, aunt, you are still running around at such an old age... I don't know who asked you to visit the doctor, such a big air!"

Aunt Gao looked at the two of them and showed a loving smile: "This was originally an appointment...for the sake of the young lady, that's why it was delayed until today..."

Seeing Aunt Gao's gentle persistence, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but muttered: "In this case, you can't help but bring Yanhong by your side to serve... She is young and has quick hands and feet, so I can rest assured."

Aunt Gao hurriedly said: "No, no, as long as I have Mother Zhao by my side, that's enough!"

Zhao mama is also going along?

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and there was something she didn't know was sincere in her words: "Speaking of which, Mother Zhao is naturally the best helper when you go to the doctor, but in daily life, Yanhong needs to be more agile! "

Aunt Gao pondered for a while, then said with a smile, "Then I would like to thank Young Madam a lot!"

* * * * * *
A few days after Aunt Gao left, it was the Qiuxi Festival.Yongzhou and Jiufeng sent people to bring her and Liu Meier mooncakes and fresh melons and fruits, especially in Yongzhou. There are many fruits that Liu Meier and the others have never seen or heard. It is said that they all came from Gaochang as a tribute. .

Everyone tasted strange fruits and talked about today's Qiuxi Festival.When they heard from Siping that several rich families in Chunli would hold a lantern show and lion dance in the town this year's Qiuxi Festival, they couldn't stop their excitement and looked at Gu Xiyan eagerly.

Gu Xiyan looked at those longing faces with a smile, she was naturally kind, and promised to let everyone have a vacation that night, let everyone go out and have fun.

For a while, the yard was full of joy, and the cheerful atmosphere of yearning for the festival was everywhere.

On the night of the Qiuxi Festival, the little Chunli changed from the quietness of the past, brightly lit, full of voices, bustling crowds, laughing in twos and threes, it was very lively.

Gu Xiyan and Duan Yingluo were sitting at a wonton stand near the corner eating wontons. Not far away, Liu Meier was buying a lantern in front of a lantern stand with Brother Sheng in her arms.

With them as the center, the guards of the Qi Mansion stood scattered all around.

Originally, I thought that I would be as happy as Xing Yu and the others, but who knew that in this noisy and lively night, I just felt more lonely.

Maosheng, I don't know if it's okay?There is also Duan Niang in Yongzhou and Mo Ju who married Sanshui far away. In the past, they were always together...

Gu Xiyan boredly looked at the excited crowd around her.

Someone is talking about current events.

"I heard that the Duke personally led 20 cavalry, and it took only [-] days to conquer the five prefectures of Fengzhou, Xinzhou, Chunzhou, Gaozhou, and Kangzhou that belonged to the southern county of Liangdi Mountain. Ten thousand, let the people of Liang be terrified..."

"You're wrong. It's not 20 days, it's ten days. The Duke of the country only used ten days of effort to level Shannan County..."

"Ten days?" Some people didn't believe it: "Impossible?"

"Why am I lying to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask Liu Yuanwai... Because of this, a few big families in spring held a lantern festival with colorful lights... It is said that Yongzhou City is more lively..."

Gu Xiyan, who was listening to their gossip, was suddenly stunned.

I wrote a letter two days ago, saying that I was supervising the battle in Hexian County, why did I spread the news that 6000 people will go to the front line at once...

"Sister Duan, sister Duan," Gu Xiyan hurriedly pushed Duan Yingluo beside her, "Call Siping here for me...I want to ask..."

Duan Yingluo was also a little surprised to hear the discussion of those people.

Seeing Gu Xiyan's bewildered expression, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it might be a rumor... I'll go to Siping and ask!"

Gu Xiyan nodded with a dazed expression.Duan Yingluo moved Gu Xiyan to a place closer to the corner of the wall, and said, "Wait a while, I'll go and talk to Li Huwei..."

Gu Xiyan nodded, and Duan Yingluo got up and walked towards Guard Li who was standing under the tree. The two said a few words, Guard Li nodded, and his eyes fell on Gu Xiyan. before leaving.
