Value peace

Chapter 253

On New Year's Eve, there was heavy snowfall, and it kept falling. In the afternoon, not only did it not stop, but it fell harder and harder. The corridor that was cleaned in the morning was immediately covered with a layer of silver. I was so anxious that my forehead was sweating, I personally took the boy to sweep the snow.

Gu Xiyan was wearing a fiery red raccoon fur coat, holding a gilded copper wisp of flowers hand stove in her hand, walking cautiously on the hand-painted corridor, Xing Yu and Mo Ju at the side followed her like a hen guarding her chicks Beside her, he paid full attention to her movements, for fear that she might walk unsteadily.

I don't know whether the terrazzo under the feet is intentional or unintentional, but they all have water-like prints, which have an anti-slip effect.Seeing their nervous look, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smiled slightly.

Turning around the corner of the corridor, I saw a glass carriage parked in front of the Xianji courtyard.

The shiny black car body, the mirror-like car glass windows, and the high-spirited coachman.

Hong Luan, who was following Gu Xiyan, said in surprise, "It's Brother Yuguan and Sister Shaoqin who are here!"

Qi Yuzhi would arrive earlier than the others every year to pay his respects to Mrs. Xu at Xianji Courtyard, and then accompany Mrs. Xu to the New Year's Eve banquet at Yu Nian Pavilion.

Hongluan's face was full of surprise, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Xiyan longingly.

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly: "Go... Remember to pay respects to brother and sister-in-law..."

Hongluan responded happily, and ran towards the courtyard happily like a bird. A group of close maidservants such as Lei Momo and Zhizi hurriedly saluted Gu Xiyan, and then hurriedly chased Hongluan .

Hong Luan is 11 years old this year. Although she can say she can leave, she is still less intelligent and has a big temper than ordinary girls. She still restrains herself a little in front of her. It's not a problem...but she is the daughter of Qi Hao, the Duke of Yan, and these are not problems, and people who come to propose marriage are still flocking to her.

Gu Xiyan was very worried.

Marriage is nothing special, but to manage a marriage well is a university question, which requires not only IQ, but also EQ.

They walked slowly all the way into Mrs. Xu's courtyard. Nanny Shi was already standing at the door. When she saw Gu Xiyan, the maids and maids brought by Fang Shaoqin bowed their knees to salute her, and said a few words of gratitude .

After Qi Maosheng left, although Gu Xiyan didn't visit Fang Shaoqin again, she sent some supplements from time to time.

Gu Xiyan smiled at her, then entered the room.

Mrs. Wei was sitting outside drinking tea, when she saw Gu Xiyan coming in, she squinted at the inner room and raised her eyebrows towards Gu Xiyan: "You are here!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded, and called out "Madam Wei", and heard Hongluan's slow voice in the inner room: "Sister Shaoqin, why are you so thin..."

Fang Shaoqin didn't make a sound, but it was Qi Yuzhi who said softly, "My sister is not in good health these days... Hongluan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have grown a lot taller, like a little adult !"

Hongluan giggled, whispering something that Gu Xiyan couldn't hear very clearly.

Duan Yingluo lifted the curtain for her and entered the room.

Qi Yuzhi sat on the edge of the bed holding Mrs. Xu's hand, Hongluan lay on Qi Yuzhi's lap, and Fang Shaoqin stood on the bedside with his hands down.Madam Zhang, who was supposed to be there to serve, was standing in front of the Duobaoge grid not far away.

Seeing Gu Xiyan coming in, everyone bowed their knees to salute her, and Bao Niang, who followed in, brought an embroidered pier to Gu Xiyan, and Gu Xiyan sat down and chatted with Qi Yuzhi and his wife.

After a few words of pleasantries, Gu Xiyan excused Yu Niange's busy affairs and was about to leave: "Come over here as soon as you sit back with grandma! ... Your second uncle is not at home this year, and you are going to preside over today's sacrificial ceremony. I'm pregnant again, and I'm counting on Shaoqin to greet all the elders for me!" The last sentence was said by Qi Yuzhi.

"Don't worry, Auntie!" Qi Yuzhi nodded, then turned to tell Shaoqin, "Go see Auntie off!"

Fang Shaoqin said "Yes" and went to help Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan shook her arm and said with a smile: "Don't tell me you want to treat me as a patient...I have been detained for a while!"

If Fang Shaoqin smiled slightly, Gu Xiyan had already bent down and asked Hongluan: "Will you stay here and go with your brothers and sisters-in-law, or go with me."

Hongluan looked at Qi Yuzhi with a bit of reluctance on her face.

Qi Yuyi was startled, looking at Hongluan's face, his expression was dazed for a moment, he paused, and then said: "Hongluan, just follow me, okay?"

After hearing this, Hong Luan showed a sweet smile.

At that moment, she looked very much like Ye Zisu.

Gu Xiyan glanced at Fang Shaoqin with a half-smile.

Fang Shaoqin only felt that Hongluan's smile was very familiar, but couldn't remember when she saw it, and felt that Gu Xiyan's smile was strange, but he didn't know why she smiled like that.

Before she could think about it, she heard rustling voices and low greetings from outside.

Fang Shaoqin was startled, and saw Mo Ju lift the curtain while saying, "Young madam, some grand ladies and wives, wives are here to see madam!"

These words were awkward, but Gu Xiyan smiled and stood up: "Please come in quickly..."

When her voice fell, Fang Shaoqin saw the fourth uncle's first wife leading the eldest aunt Cui Shi and others to file in.

As soon as they entered the room, Cui stepped forward to support Gu Xiyan: "Oh, what time are you, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Gu Xiyan stood and called out to everyone who came in before sitting down.

The maidservants Mo Ju and Xing Yu hurriedly moved the stools, and for a while, the room was crowded with people.

Qi Yuzhi took Fang Shaoqin to salute the elders and peers.

The fourth aunt laughed and said: "It's still the jade official who has the heart, and arrived earlier than us all!"

When everyone heard it, they all said a few polite words in a hurry; then the fourth aunt hugged Hongluan in her arms and praised her, and everyone followed suit, making Hongluan happy. , Gu Xiyan couldn't help shaking her head.I don't know whose temperament this child followed, the one in my stomach must not be like this!

Finally, the fourth aunt asked about Mrs. Xu's condition.

Nanny Zhang talked about Mrs. Xu's diet and daily life during this period. When everyone heard that Mrs. Xu only ate one meal a day, they were all stunned.

Nanny Zhang hurriedly explained: "Madam stays in bed all year round... It's hard to clean up!"

Everyone heard a few meanings in the words.

In a mansion as big as the Qi Mansion, there are so many servants, if it wasn't for Mrs. Wei standing in the way, how could Mrs. Xu not even have a servant in front of her!

Most of the people in the room chose silence.

Qi Yuzhi's eye sockets became moist all of a sudden.

The fourth aunt sighed, and said: "Xiyan, I know you're inconvenient...you might as well send more nuns and wives, it's not decent to look like this!"

Gu Xiyan's face was flushed, and she couldn't help but glanced at the outer room, and answered "yes" absent-mindedly.

Seeing this, the fourth aunt gave a cold snort, and said, "This is really strange, could it be that this is the family, and you still can't be the family!"

Gu Xiyan called out "Aunt Four" submissively, and said helplessly, "They are all my elders..."

The fourth aunt smiled coldly, and said: "In this case, let me make the decision and let Yuguan and Shaoqin live in Xianjiyuan to take care of the sick, so that we don't know when they die... ..."

When Fang Shaoqin heard this, he suddenly looked at Gu Xiyan, just in time to see Gu Xiyan's face as quiet as the moonlight.

Her heart was pounding, and just about to say something, Qi Yuzhi had already saluted fourth aunt excitedly: "Thank you, fourth uncle! As long as aunt agrees, I, I will move here with Shaoqin tonight!"

Gu Xiyan lowered her eyelids, and said in a low voice: "It's my aunt's fault... From now on, mother will ask you two to take care of me!"

The sweet and glutinous voice turned into a buzzing buzzing sound, which entered Fang Shaoqin's ears vaguely. She widened her eyes, looking at the face that smiled as sweetly as sugar, she was more excited than ever before. Clearly felt the sharpness hidden in it.

She couldn't help but looked towards the half-opened curtain, just in time to see the anxiety in Mrs. Xu's eyes.

Fang Shaoqin couldn't help but took a step forward, and said "no" in a low voice.

Manzili's eyes all fell on her.

Fang Shaoqin's hands were sweaty, and he forced a smile and said, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve...I think it's better to talk about it after the fifteenth!"

Gu Xiyan smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry about those things... This year is no different from previous years, your uncle is not at home, and there are only two of you over there, it's a deserted place, why don't you plan a lively together, people first Come here, I'll pack things up later..." As he spoke, he looked towards Qi Yuzhi, "If Mrs. Wei lives in Dongzi Pavilion, I'm afraid I won't be able to vacate it for a while. I think Yingxiang Pavilion is pretty good, and it's a good season to appreciate plum blossoms. , you can live there tonight!"

Fang Shaoqin looked at Qi Yuzhi.

Qi Yuzhi bowed his head slightly, avoiding his wife's begging eyes.

"So, I would like to thank Auntie!"

* * * * * *
When they arrived at Yu Nian Pavilion, Yu Nian Pavilion was already brightly lit, and the little red lanterns hanging down from the roof made the whole sky lively and festive.

The noisy laughter, the shuttle servants, the smell of food wafting from afar, the white snow illuminated red by the lanterns, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.

Fang Shaoqin looked at Gu Xiyan who was walking slowly, surrounded by all the female family members of the Qi family, and couldn't help but stand still, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Qi Yuzhi was even more mindless than she imagined.

Can she win this battle alone?
Qi Yuzhi couldn't feel Fang Shaoqin's breath. Looking back, Fang Shaoqin was standing in the snow with a lonely expression, his eyes were bright and sharp.

He couldn't help sighing.

Those eyes that are light like willows and twinkling like stars, are erased and replaced one by one with the passage of time...

Thinking of this, Qi Yuzhi couldn't help feeling ashamed.

He asked his wife softly, "What's the matter?" There was unprecedented tenderness in his voice.

The New Year without Mrs. Xu is better than ever!
When the words came to his lips, he uttered an irrelevant sentence: "Yuguan, are we really moving to live in Xianji Courtyard today?"

Qi Yuyi was stunned: "Of course! Auntie is concerned that Mrs. Wei doesn't want to take care of it, but we can't let it go..."

Fang Shaoqin couldn't help sighing.

Qi Yuzhi looked at his wife seriously: "Shaoqin, I know what you think. But now, you have made me lose my grandmother and only care about my own safety, I can't do it..."
