Value peace

Chapter 249

"You, are you on night duty?" Gu Xiyan was tongue-tied, and couldn't help but glance at Qi Maosheng as if asking for help.

Qi Maosheng was also full of shock: "Aunt Duan, no need, how can I bother you to be on duty at night..." Let alone on duty in the past, as long as you enter the inner courtyard, you will always be accompanied by nuns and maids, and you don't even notice it. how.But now, just hearing what Duanniang said, Qi Maosheng felt uncomfortable.

Xiyan's undisguised coquettishness when the two of them were alone flashed across his mind... only he knew that.

Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and there was a bit of sternness on his face: "Auntie, don't interfere in this matter, I will take care of you by Madam's side..."

Duanniang changed her meekness from the past, and looked at Qi Maosheng coldly: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. These are the rules passed down from the ancestors, and I can no longer act arbitrarily!"

It was indeed my fault for not being restrained in the boudoir... Just now, I was indeed a little bit aggressive... But after being taught such a lesson by Duan Niang, Qi Maosheng became a little angry from embarrassment.

He stared at Duanniang sharply, and Duanniang didn't show any weakness, and stared back at him.

For a while, the two became a stalemate.

Gu Xiyan's temples were sweating.

How could this be?
Maosheng on one side and Duanniang on the other.

From the heart, Gu Xiyan naturally didn't want to make Qi Maosheng feel unhappy, but from another aspect, Duanniang's scruples were also justified, and it was for her own good.

She called "Aunt Duan" and "Maosheng" again.

Neither was moved, showing no sign of softening.

Gu Xiyan's eyes flickered, she stroked her forehead, and leaned softly on Qi Maosheng's shoulder: "Auntie, am I not feeling well?"

Both of them turned pale with shock, Qi Maosheng hurriedly hugged Gu Xiyan, and said with a pale face: "Xiyan, why are you uncomfortable..."

Duanniang also walked quickly to the kang and touched her forehead: "Don't panic, calm down... what's wrong?"

Gu Xiyan exhaled weakly, and said sullenly, "I'm just a little dizzy!"

Duanniang breathed a sigh of relief, got up on the kang and opened the window lattice a crack, and immediately cold air came in, dissipating the heat in the room.

Gu Xiyan took a big breath of fresh air, feeling a lot more refreshed, and couldn't help showing a comfortable smile on her face.

"Auntie Duan, I will follow your orders for the night duty!" Qi Maosheng said suddenly.

Why did you suddenly change your attitude?

Gu Xiyan raised her head from Qi Maosheng's arms in astonishment, and saw a flicker of frustration on Qi Maosheng's face.

Duan Niang's goal has been achieved, so naturally she will give birth to Qi Mao.

She smiled and bowed her knees to salute Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan, and said: "Master's food is cold, I will ask Hongyu to make another table."

Qi Maosheng nodded sullenly.

When Duanniang and the woman who removed the kang table went out, Gu Xiyan couldn't help complaining: "Maosheng, why did you agree...I don't want anyone else to stay in our room overnight!"

Qi Maosheng smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Duan has experience and can take care of you..."

Gu Xiyan thought for a while, and immediately understood.

Just now I said I was uncomfortable, but Duanniang immediately thought of a way to deal with this situation, but she showed a comfortable look...Maosheng gave in for his own sake!
A trace of sweetness gushed out of Gu Xiyan's heart.

Qi Maosheng thought of another question because of this.

He said softly, "Do you know when Aunt Gao will arrive?"

"I don't know," the letter was sent by Sanping, Gu Xiyan thought, "It should arrive in a few days."

Qi Maosheng discussed her in a low voice: "Although there is Aunt Gao, it is better to invite two stable women outside..."

"Yeah!" Gu Xiyan also agreed: "I think so too. After I came back, I asked everyone to help find a prestigious stable woman by saying that I didn't know when Aunt Gao would come. These days, the lobby sister-in-law I introduced one, Mrs. Santang introduced one, and Liu Meier introduced one. I will ask Siping to check the details of the two families. If there is no problem, please come to the mansion for the time being, and we will talk about it later!"

Seeing that Gu Xiyan was thoughtful, Qi Maosheng felt a little at ease.

He lovingly rubbed Gu Xiyan's black hair, and said with a smile, "When will the baby be born?"

"May next year!"

Qi Maosheng had a pensive expression on his face.

Gu Xiyan was slightly startled, and said, "What happened?"

Now she is very sensitive and wants to kill all unstable factors in the cradle.

Qi Maosheng laughed and said, "Nothing, nothing..."

How could Gu Xiyan believe it.

Qi Maosheng had no choice but to say: "Xiyan, the six thousand elites from Yandi are stationed in He County, and I have to spend the New Year with them...I'm afraid I won't be able to come back by then..."

This became more and more contradictory.

Gu Xiyan's expression darkened, and she told Qi Maosheng about the peanut alley.

Qi Maosheng already knew about this.

"I went to see Fang Shaoqin on the second day after I returned to Yongzhou, and I went there again a few days ago. You don't know, a person who was so refreshing before has changed... When I went for the first time, I still knew Holding Fei's clothes and crying, telling us about the children; when I went there for the second time, I didn't eat or drink, and I didn't even shed tears... I saw it, and I felt very uncomfortable. But it also made me I made up my mind that no matter whether there are mountains of swords and seas of fire or dangerous shoals in front of me, I will take my children through it... Maosheng, if you have anything to do, why not tell me clearly. If you say it, I still have a plan in my heart. Saying it out, when things come to an end, it makes me panic and ruins my arrangements..."

Qi Mao's life was spent in calculations, what Gu Xiyan did, he thought about it carefully, it was not clear, and naturally he knew that what she said was right.

He felt a few regrets in his heart.

But she has lost her word, if she doesn't explain clearly, it will only make Xi Yan more worried!

Qi Maosheng weighed it in his heart and explained: "In the early spring of this year, Qin Zhiqi, the former left servant of the Ministry of War, vacated a vacancy, and the emperor wanted his uncle Liu Yun to take up the post. But for some reason, Fang Jixian disagreed. It didn't work like this. The emperor probably felt something about this matter, so he found Zheng Pengfei's excuse to take his title away, and wanted to strengthen his control over the Ministry of War through the war in Liangdi. Who knew that the Zheng family would join forces with the Shen family After the Yan army retreated to Hexian County, the two sides fought seven or eight big battles back and forth, with both winners and losers." Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning, "I'm afraid that the court will They asked us to send troops again, and I will definitely take this opportunity to ask for some more bargaining chips... In this way, we don't know when the war will end..."

Gu Xiyan heard this, but was worried about other things: "Didn't you have an agreement with the other three families? Will there be any trouble!"

Qi Maosheng raised his eyebrows and said, "This kind of thing is unpredictable. Who knows what will happen until the end!"

That's right, Qi Maosheng has always been a strong man in his own field.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "If you are worried about not being able to go home, don't worry. There are a lot of people around me, so don't worry, I will definitely give birth to the baby smoothly..."

Qi Maosheng had a look of guilt on his face: "Xiyan..."

Gu Xiyan didn't write to Qi Maosheng just to make him feel uncomfortable.

She smiled and said: "Mrs. Xu is ill. Now Mrs. Wei is taking care of the sick. At the beginning, the fourth aunt also took care of her. After two days, she suddenly said that she had caught a cold and her bones were not feeling well, so she couldn't come to take care of the sick." ... Mrs. Wei said that there are patients in the Xianji Hospital, and they are depressed, so as not to frighten the children, she told me not to go to pay her respects for the time being, so as to save my sleepless nights. She also asked the lobby wife to help me host the middle school. Feed, I just need to sit and move my lips... I go to bed early and get up early every day. After finishing the housework in the morning, I go for a walk after taking a nap, or do needlework with Yunshang. Liu Meier is now open in Yongzhou City Mansion, come to see me every now and then. I live a leisurely and fulfilling life, so why don’t you worry about it. Besides, I wish you didn’t come back... lest you see the embarrassment of my childbirth... "

Xiyan is willing to make him happy no matter what.

I owe her too much...

Qi Maosheng couldn't help hugging Gu Xiyan tightly: "Don't be tired!"
The two were talking, but there were a few low whispers outside, and then there was another sound of footsteps fading away.

Gu Xiyan explained: "I'm going to visit Fang Shaoqin tomorrow, and I called the nurse in charge to come over to discuss the delivery of tonic..."

He must have known that Qi Maosheng was back, so he left.

Qi Maosheng frowned and said: "If you don't want to go, then don't go, there is no need to accommodate her."

Gu Xiyan sighed, and said: "No matter what, she is always my niece and daughter-in-law. If you are free tomorrow, why don't you take a trip to Peanut Alley with me... the relatives in the house are all watching !"

* * * * * *
When Hongyu's dinner was reorganized, it was already dusk, and Gu Xiyan was a little hungry, so the couple had a reunion dinner.

Seeing that Gu Xiyan ate very little, Qi Maosheng asked with concern, "Is it because the food is not to your taste... Do you want to transfer Wang Mama over..."

"No, I'm eating less and more meals now." Gu Xiyan smiled, "Didn't Sanping complain to you? Some time ago, he spent a lot of effort to find food for me!"

I didn't know it at the time, but Sanping said it afterwards.

Qi Maosheng looked at her ruddy face and said with a smile: "What else do you want to eat, I will just ask Sanping to do it."

Maosheng began to distinguish between public and private again!

Gu Xiyan's eyes were bright, shining like stars.

After eating, the two walked slowly to Xianjiyuan.

Entering the Xianji Courtyard, Qi Maosheng looked at the bare yard in surprise, and said, "Why are the few camellias in this yard gone..."

The camellias in front of Mrs. Xu's house are said to have been brought from Shengjing when she married Yandi, and they bloom in January every year.The height of the tree is less than one meter. During the flowering season, the huge bright red flowers are layered on top of each other, which is extremely beautiful.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but tugged at La Qi Maosheng's sleeve: "Mrs. Wei invited a Taoist nun to perform a ritual for Mrs. Xu two days ago. The Taoist said that the camellias in this yard are growing too luxuriantly, and their momentum is too sharp." , took away people's spirit... Mrs. Wei ordered the tree to be uprooted and burned!"

Rao Qi Maosheng couldn't help being tongue-tied, and said after a while: "What else did she do?"

Gu Xiyan thought for a while, covered her mouth and smiled: "It's too much to write down!"
