Chapter 276 Summer Scorching ([-])

"Say it!" Qi Maosheng took off his shoes and got on the kang.

Gu Xiyan said: "We want to give priority to adopting those Yandi orphans whose fathers died in the battle, and then slowly expand the scope when we have spare capacity. Isn't your household registration very strict? Can you help us?" , Send children in this situation to our Compassionate Orphanage."

In the past few years, Qi Maosheng has always supported Gu Xiyan in doing these things.

The impact of resettling those orphans and widows whose relatives died fighting for Yandi was completely beyond Qi Maosheng's expectations.It not only solved some problems that were difficult to solve in the government office, but also made some soldiers in the army feel grateful for this practice, feeling that if something happened to them, someone at home would arrange and take care of them, and they would go to battle to kill them. The enemy is more brave.In the past few years, wherever the Yan army went, they won more and lost less, and this has nothing to do with it.

Thinking of this, Qi Maosheng murmured: "Xiyan, I have thought about this matter carefully. I think, assign Qi Qu to take charge of this matter, and do this matter with you in the name of Qi Mansion. What do you think? "

If you can get official support, you will get twice the result with half the effort. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with Liang Zhangzhu and the others. Although I have come up with many ideas in the past few years, the specific affairs are still up to Liang Zhang. Zhang Zhu, Han Shi, and Xiao Cui Shi are in charge.

Gu Xiyan thought about it: "This idea is very good. Let me talk to Liang Zhangzhu, see when everyone is free, sit down and have a good talk, and see how to cooperate."

Qi Maosheng's expression was serious: "This matter is very important. I don't say it, but you should know it... Rather than us spending money and efforts to make Christians take advantage of it, we might as well do it ourselves."

Ever since Mrs. Han contacted Father Bai, Mrs. Bai sent Gu Rishen to be in charge of contacting Mrs. Han, telling Mrs. Han some of their experience, helping Mrs. Han to build the first compassionate orphanage, and sending The sisters of several churches help the Han family with daily management.Although everyone kept a low profile, the reputation of Christianity gradually spread. Many people began to believe in religion, and began to be influenced by Christian teachings to volunteer in orphanages. In this way, the problem of manpower was solved, but more people were left behind. Big hidden danger.During the Chinese New Year this year, the master of Guangming Temple personally visited Gu Xiyan and asked her to stop this "religious teaching and heresy". In March, there was a bloody conflict between Taoist believers and Christian believers in Jiufeng.This incident also alarmed Qi Maosheng who was in charge of the battle in Lingzhou, Jindi, and finally Qi Bing came forward to prevent the conflict from further escalating.

Gu Xiyan can naturally understand Qi Maosheng's worry.She nodded seriously: "Don't worry, we will be very careful about this matter."

The two adults were sitting and talking, and Brother Tun sat in the middle, looked at his mother, and then at his father, feeling that he was being left out, jumped up and pushed Gu Xiyan: "Mother, mother, and me! "

When the couple heard the words, they were startled, and then laughed again.

Gu Xiyan hugged Brother Tun: "Yes, yes, and our Brother Tun!"

Brother Tun showed a bright smile.

Seeing Brother Tun's cheerful look, Qi Maosheng couldn't help but patted Brother Tun's head and asked, "Are you going to grandma's place this afternoon?"

Brother Tun shook his head: "Grandmother said that I don't have to go in the afternoon and let me take a break, but I have to go very early every morning and ask Aunt Duan to accompany me."

Aunt Duan, that is Duan Yingluo, Gu Xiyan sent her to accompany Brother Tun since Brother Tun began to practice martial arts with Mrs. Wei.Firstly, Duan Yingluo understands these things, so you can ask her if you have any questions; secondly, Duan Yingluo's skills are much faster than ordinary maidservants, and being by Brother Tun's side can prevent some accidents.

Qi Maosheng nodded, and was about to say something when he heard Xing Yu say through the curtain: "Young Madam, this servant is here to get the badge...the lotus root from Huzhou must be sent to Peanut Alley as soon as possible."

"Come in!" Gu Xiyan said.

Since Xizhao withdrew from the north of the Songjiang River last summer, things in the south of the Yangtze River have become extremely precious. The lotus root in Huzhou was sent by the Liu family, and there was only a small basket. Gu Xiyan asked someone to send a few catties Go to Peanut Alley and give it to Qi Yuzhi and the others.

Although Mrs. Xu is gone, in the eyes of others, they are still a family. Gu Xiyan sends people to send some food and brocade silks from time to time, so as to stop those gossipers and understand how Qi Yuzhi and his wife are living. what the hell.

Xing Yu responded with a pretty voice, and walked in with the curtain lifted.

She is 21 years old this year, and she is the big girl next to Gu Xiyan. During the past few years with Gu Xiyan, she has moved her body and raised her energy, and she has a dignified and dignified demeanor. No one would dare to say that she is a maidservant as a daughter of gold.

Three years ago, Gu Xiyan was looking for her husband's family everywhere, either she didn't think of them, or they didn't think of her, so if she came and went, she just put it down.Gu Xiyan was very worried, but Xing Yu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "This kind of thing, like what the young lady said, is about fate... Maybe I will serve the young lady for the rest of my life."

Gu Xiyan thought about it, yes.In this era, the idea of ​​divorce is not popular, and most people have made do with it. If they get divorced, men are fine, but women can't hold their heads up for the rest of their lives. Instead of marrying her rashly, it is better Just wait for fate.

Gu Xiyan gave Xing Yu the waist badge, and Xing Yu bent her knees and left.

Qi Maosheng said: "You don't have to be so concerned about Yuguan."

Gu Xiyan smiled disapprovingly: "There are only these few people in the family. I do what I should do. As for them, whatever you want!"

Qi Maosheng asked with concern: "The two of them are still like that!"

Since Mrs. Xu's death, Qi Yuzhi seemed to have changed into a different person, completely depressed, without the vigor of a young man, but not as energetic as Qi Maosheng.

Gu Xiyan sighed: "I don't know what's going on! I used to say that they are a perfect couple, but now, they look like a pair of resentful spouses...but it is a resentful spouse, so let's make some noise. The two of them Fortunately, I didn’t even quarrel. In the winter of last year, Fang Shaoqin told me to give the jade official a concubine. You know, I hate this the most, so I dragged it tactfully. As a result, Fang Shaoqin personally arranged a concubine. The general’s daughter even showed her to me. She looks pretty good, and her temperament seems soft, but how can I decide this matter, so I asked the jade official what he meant. Yuguan didn’t agree, and I I thought he wanted to live a good life with Fang Shaoqin. Who knows, he turned out to be like a pure cultivator, not close to women. I don't know what the problem between the two couples is, and there is no place to persuade them!"

Qi Maosheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "They will go through their days by themselves. As for Brother Tun, you will send him to sleep in the nanny's room these two days... He is not young anymore, what are you talking about! "

Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing.

Qi Maosheng's eyes flashed uncomfortably, but his face was still fixed: "I tell you, if you stay like this again, I will go to the concubine's room!"

Gu Xiyan lay on Qi Maosheng's arms with a smile, and squinted at him charmingly: "Who would argue with children about this!"

The twinkling eyes made Qi Maosheng's heart flutter.He suddenly clamped Gu Xiyan's waist, and said in a low voice: "If you dare to take my words seriously, be careful and I will deal with you."

Brother Tun suddenly threw himself on Qi Maosheng's back: "Daddy, Daddy, I want to play too..."

Qi Maosheng groaned in frustration.

Last night, it was the same. When he just teased Xiyan so much that he couldn't help it, Brother Tun ran in, tilted his head, opened his big pure and flawless eyes, and asked curiously: "Daddy, what are you doing?" What are you doing? Why are you lying on the bed with Mommy!"

At that time, Gu Xiyan pinched the skirt of her shirt and faltered and said: "Brother Tun, Dad is playing a game with Mom!"

When Brother Tun heard this, he immediately climbed onto the bed, lay on Qi Maosheng's shoulder and yelled, "I want to play, I want to play too!" Smiling, Qin Nanny who rushed over and dared not enter the house bent over with a smile. .

Qi Maosheng twisted Gu Xiyan's waist fiercely: "He also said that there is no room allocation!"

Maosheng is rarely at home throughout the year. Whether he is pregnant or breastfeeding, Maosheng is not only considerate, but also patient. As long as he shows a little tired face, he will never force himself... Thinking of Here, Gu Xiyan felt a little guilty in her heart.Since having Brother Tun, I have neglected him too much!
"Maosheng!" Gu Xiyan took Qi Maosheng's hand and squeezed him hard, "Let him sleep with the nanny tonight..."

Qi Maosheng coughed a little uncomfortably, and said insincerely: "It's not for anything else, it's because he's grown up and can't be spoiled like this anymore..."

Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled: "I know, I know...it's all my fault!"

Gu Xiyan's pun made Qi Maosheng feel better, but the culprit didn't have any self-consciousness, and pushed his father: "You guys are talking together again, forget about me..."

Gu Xiyan hugged her son to comfort him: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, how could I forget our brother Tun!"

The older Brother Tun is, the harder it is to coax him, he pouted: "Mommy lied to me again!"

It would be a bad idea to give children such an impression.

Gu Xiyan said sternly: "Brother Tun, you can't talk like this. Tell me, when did Mommy lie to you!"

Brother Tun was stunned for a while, he didn't know if it was because he was young, or he just couldn't remember, seeing his mother's serious look, he poked his head, and threw himself into Gu Xiyan's arms, acting coquettishly.

Gu Xiyan's mother and son were jostling and jostling on the kang, when Chunxiu came in and said, "Young madam, the twelfth young mistress of the Liu family is here."
