Value peace

Chapter 61
Gu Xiyan's heart ached when she heard it.

She looked at Qi Maosheng's sculpted face, she didn't know whether she was convincing herself or reassuring Qi Maosheng, and she said firmly, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter tomorrow morning."

Qi Maosheng nodded lightly and said "I'm sorry".

Gu Xiyan smiled.

It seems that everything that needs to be said has been said.

There was a brief silence between the two, and the moonlight slanted in, coating everything in the room with a layer of silvery white, making it appear quiet and peaceful, just like Gu Xiyan's mood at the moment.

Hesitation flashed across Qi Maosheng's clear eyes, he lowered his eyelids unnaturally, and said softly: "Then I'll go first, let me know when you've finished talking with the Liu family." He turned around and opened the side window and jumped out.

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a while, then slowly climbed onto the bed and lay down quietly, only feeling that the room was so tall and empty, she was so lonely and lonely, and the atmosphere was so cold and gloomy... …

Before dawn the next day, there was movement in Duanniang's room. Gu Xiyan knew that Duanniang was preparing to go to Qixia Temple, so she called Mo Ju over: "You go to the outer courtyard to pass on the news to Auntie Duan while you are here. Bring Deacon Ding to me when we're in the car and horses, it's urgent, don't avoid suspicion..."

Mo Ju went suspiciously.

Even so, it was already noon when Deacon Ding arrived at Wuyuan.

As soon as he arrived, Gu Xiyan asked straight to the point: "Is there a problem with the Liu family's business in Yandi, and how is it now?"

Deacon Ding didn't understand what she meant, so he said vaguely, "Qiye just saw that I've been in Beijing for so many years and asked me to make a move. I don't know the specifics..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "Don't give me sloppy eyes, and I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, you go and send a letter to Qiye, I have a good connection here, if he is interested, come here, if the matter has been settled It’s almost enough.”

Deacon Ding responded, and immediately went to Lan Yuan.

He originally came from the Liu family, and he is a very shrewd person. Although he has been working in the Gu family for the past few years, he always likes to visit the Orchid Court when he is free, and get in touch with some shopkeepers of the Liu family.Usually when someone from the south of the Yangtze River comes to Beijing, he will entertain them warmly and hospitablely, which is very popular with everyone in the Orchid Academy. In addition, he has worked as a messenger in front of Qiye several times during this period. Whenever Deacon Ding enters the door, there will be a servant She ran over and whispered to him: "The third master is here, and the seventh master is here to accompany you."

Deacon Ding was stunned: "Is the Patriarch here?"

The boy nodded.

Deacon Ding immediately became excited.

The second girl of the Gu family is not a simple character. If there is a way out as she said, then I...

Deacon Ding quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said softly to the boy: "Si Er, you quietly invited Master Qi to come out, saying that I have something urgent."

The boy named Si'er responded and immediately ran towards the inner courtyard.

Deacon Ding stood in front of the wall shadow and waited, staring at the orchid painted on the wall for a while.

Guiguan and Baibai have not been found until now, as if they have disappeared from this world, and they probably cannot be found... It must have started again in a place where no one knows the past... That's okay, this matter is the end of the story In this way, big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into small things... I only feel sorry for myself, I was beaten several times by Mr. Gu, not to mention I was injured, and I lost a lot of face... I have to think of a way to perform well in front of Master Qi, It's best to go back to Liu's house, at least it's better than being in Gu's house...

When he was thinking about it, Si'er hastily ran out: "Brother Ding, Master Qi told you to go quickly!"

Deacon Ding flicked his skirt, and quickly followed Si'er into the main room of the Lan Yuan.

In the main room, apart from Liu Zuocheng and Wang Shun, there was also a tall fat man sitting in the main room. He was very ordinary in appearance and dressed in ordinary clothes. His whole body was full of kindness, which made people feel good about him at first glance. .He is Liu Sanduo, the current head of the Liu family.

Deacon Ding respectfully knelt down in front of Liu Sanduo and kowtowed three times. Liu Sanduo hurriedly helped him up himself: "Family, what a big gift. Sit down, sit down."

Because there was no one else around, the big shopkeeper Wang Shun personally brought a chair and placed it beside Deacon Ding, which shocked Deacon Ding, but he also vaguely understood that the matter of Yandi might not be settled yet. .

Liu Zuocheng smiled and said, "Yiming, there are no outsiders here, just speak up if you have anything to say."

Deacon Ding asked Si'er to pass the message in advance because he was afraid that Liu Zuocheng would misunderstand him, thinking that he wanted to take the opportunity to show himself in front of the Patriarch. Now that he had said this, Deacon Ding was naturally relieved, and told Gu Xiyan every word. Those present listen.

Wang Shun sat there looking at his nose, as if he didn't hear anything, while Liu Zuocheng looked at Liu Sanduo anxiously.

Liu Sanduo pondered for a while, and said: "In that case, Zuo Cheng, you should go there yourself."

When Liu Zuocheng got the words, he immediately stood up and said goodbye to Liu Sanduo. He took Deacon Ding to Gu's mansion, just in time for lunch, Deacon Ding said with a smile: "Master Qi might as well have lunch at Madam's place. Late."

Liu Zuocheng smiled and said, "Let's go to the second girl first!"

The two arrived at the Chuihua Gate one after the other, and the woman who was watching the gate recognized Liu Zuocheng, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, without any intention of stopping them, watching them enter the inner courtyard.

When they arrived at Wuyuan, Deacon Ding knocked on the door, and it was Mo Ju who answered.

She saw Deacon Ding startled, and Deacon Ding hurriedly smiled and said, "Second Miss ordered us to come."

At this time, Mo Ju also recognized Liu Zuocheng, she smiled and said, "Uncle and the deacon, etc., I'm going to report to the girl." Then she closed the door with a "snap".

Deacon Ding explained to Liu Zuocheng with an embarrassed smile: "Master Qi, the girls are young and ignorant..."

But Liu Zuocheng sighed and said, "This is the rule of a big family!"

Deacon Ding was taken aback, not knowing how to respond.If you say yes, isn’t it saying that Mrs. Gu is not strict with the housekeeping? If you say no, isn’t it saying that the second girl’s girl is domineering... When he was in a dilemma, the door opened again with a "squeak", and Mo Ju smiled Yingying said: "Miss invites you two into the house for tea." After saying that, the door was opened and they were welcomed in.

It was Liu Zuocheng's first visit to Wuyuan, so he couldn't help taking a look.

The yard is not big, and the layout is ordinary, but it makes people feel very tidy, and the corners are all tidy, but because of this kind of excessive cleanliness and simplicity, it makes people feel that the atmosphere in this room is cold and alienated.

When they entered the main room, Gu Xiyan had already been waiting there, greeted each other, sat down and served tea, Gu Xiyan said to Deacon Ding tactfully: "Deacon Ding, my aunt in my room went to Qixia Temple, and the house only removes Moju One, she has rough hands and feet, please help me look at the door."

Deacon Ding knew that he wanted to avoid it by himself, so he walked out the door with a smile. When he found that Mo Ju followed him out, he felt better on his face. The two of them stood in the middle of the yard and chatted. Of course, it was mainly Deacon Ding who was talking, and Mo Ju was still quite hostile and wary of him.

Only Liu Zuocheng and Gu Xiyan were left in the main room. Liu Zuocheng smiled kindly, but looked at Gu Xiyan with a serious look in his eyes, as if listening quietly.

She took a sip of tea lightly and said with a smile, "Qiye, let me tell you a story!"

Liu Zuocheng said very sincerely: "Girl, please tell me." His eyes were solemn, and he did not despise Gu Xiyan because he was two years younger than him.This reminded Gu Xiyan of her company's boss, who also pays so much attention to details and never sloppy.

Gu Xiyan collected herself and told him the story of Lu Buwei and Yiren.

Liu Zuocheng listened unhappily to Gu Xiyan's explanation of the accident, and said with a smile: "Girl, this matter is too important, please allow me to report to the Patriarch before I can answer the girl."

"Of course." Gu Xiyan nodded with a smile, "Even though I'm a relative, I can only wait for Qi Ye for two hours. I'm not the only one who can tell this story, and Qi Ye is not the only one who can understand it... "

Liu Zuocheng's eyes flickered, and he smiled kindly: "Heh, the Liu family has accepted the girl's kindness."

Gu Xiyan smiled and got up to send Liu Zuocheng and Deacon Ding out of Wuyuan, and then Moju had lunch.

Duanniang and Xinghong were not at home, the room seemed empty and deserted a lot.Gu Xiyan said to Mo Ju: "I've been very busy during this time, the purse that Zhao Mama gave me looks like just a leaf embroidered. Today, we might as well do some needlework while we have free time."

Mo Ju found out the rattan basket with a smile, and the two chatted and laughed while sitting on the big couch by the window to embroider the purse.

In less than an hour, someone knocked on the door of Wuyuan.

Gu Xiyan's heart paused, her hand tightened, the embroidery needle pricked her finger, and a blood bead the size of a grain of rice burst out immediately, Mo Ju hurriedly dropped the embroidery work in her hand and swallowed Gu Xiyan's injured finger. After taking a sip in his mouth, he spit out bloody saliva and said, "Girl, is it okay?"

Gu Xiyan stared blankly at her fingers, and said with a smile, "Go and see who is knocking on the door."

Liu Sanduo also came with Liu Zuocheng.As soon as he entered the room, he was very concerned and said: "I heard that the second girl injured her ankle. Is it better? I have a bottle of 'Sanqi powder', which contains ground chrysanthemum. It is a good medicine for promoting stasis and blood. The girl brought a bottle here, you can try it, if it is good, I will send someone to deliver it..." As he spoke, he really took out a palm-sized blue porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Mo Ju.

Hearing the sound, Gu Xiyan immediately knew that this was the head of the Liu family, Liu Sanduo.

While thanking Liu Sanduo, she signaled Mo Ju to take the porcelain vase, and at the same time got up from the big couch to salute Master Liu.

Master Liu held her down and said, "Second Miss, please don't." He insisted on not letting her get up.

Gu Xiyan delayed for a while, and asked Mo Ju to serve tea to Master Liu.

After a while of fuss, everyone sat down and drank tea. Mr. Liu looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile, his eyes were amiable, like a grandfather looking at his granddaughter: "Second girl, I heard that you told a story to Mr. Qi , I was very interested to hear it, but I don't know..." At this point, he slightly lengthened the ending sound, with the meaning of asking.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "The old man has been traveling all his life, whether it is right or not, it is up to you to judge!"

Mr. Liu smiled kindly: "Since the second girl said so, I will also ask you to meet each other..."

Gu Xiyan pondered and said: "I have to take a breath first, I'll go back to you tomorrow morning. You know, although it's windy and rainy outside, there are quite a few people busy handing umbrellas..."

Mr. Liu smiled cunningly: "Shengjing is indeed an imperial city. I never expected that there are so many people who make the icing on the cake, and there are also many people who give charcoal in the snow!"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "That's why, let the bold die, starve the timid to death!"

Mr. Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, with a sharp light shining: "The girl is really a refreshing person!"

Gu Xiyan responded sweetly with a smile: "It's because you keep flattering me."

Master Liu chuckled, and said in a solemn tone: "Then leave everything to the girl!"

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "You should think carefully, this is an arrow that never turns back!"

Mr. Liu took a detailed look, and his expression was captivating: "A horse is not fat without night grass, and a man is not rich without windfall."
