Chapter 194: The Name Is the Same (5)
That day, the rain kept falling, after Zhen Niang and Fang Shaoqin met the ceremony, everyone sat down and chatted a few words, and the two found out that they had all studied in Jiangnan Red Sleeve Academy.
They received the same education, talking about poetry and painting, although the scene was not very warm, but it would not appear to be a scene where there was nothing to say and seemed cold, and the two of them coincidentally did not want Gu Xiyan to feel left out, and from time to time they created opportunities to pull Gu Xiyan into the circle of conversation, warm and quite intimate.
This reminded Gu Xiyan of the previous colleague gatherings.
At noon, Qi Maosheng asked Siping to pass the word again, saying that there was something wrong and they would not come back for lunch, so Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to leave them for lunch in the pear orchard.
After lunch, Zhenniang said goodbye on the grounds that Hongluan needed to be taken care of, and Gu Xiyan and Fang Shaoqin took a nap on the big kang crooked by the window, and when they woke up at noon, the two went to see Mrs. Xu together.
Mrs. Xu was a little surprised to see the two of them coming together.
Fang Shaoqin smiled and said, "It's raining heavily today, and my aunt specially left me to rest with her......"
Mrs. Xu showed a pleased smile: "Home and everything is prosperous, you are like this, I look at it, and my heart is comfortable." ”
The two of them accompanied Mrs. Xu for a conversation, but a housekeeper from Peanut Hutong came to her, saying that Qi Yuzhi asked her to bring rain gear to take Fang Shaoqin back. Mrs. Xu looked at Fang Shaoqin happily.
Gu Xiyan also smiled: "Go back quickly!" Grandmother, here's me! ”
Fang Shaoqin smiled indifferently, bent her knees to salute the two elders, thanked Gu Xiyan for her hospitality, and then took the maid and maid away. =STARTER=
Gu Xiyan looked at her distant back, and suddenly felt a little lonely.
She stayed with Mrs. Xu until dusk. During this period, Mrs. Xu asked a lot, and Gu Xiyan kept telling herself in her heart: It's good to be a brutal female boss who has reached menopause!
It was easy to serve Mrs. Xu and returned to the pear orchard after dinner. Mo Ju told her: "The fourth brother came here just now, and said that the master had something." Let Madame stop waiting and eat first. ”
Gu Xiyan was a little surprised, since the two got married, this was the first time that Qi Maosheng had not come back for dinner.
Isn't it true that all "never" is broken step by step!
She sighed and said, "Is Miss Duan back?" ”
Mo Ju said: "I entered the door in front of Madame, and I heard that Madame hadn't come back yet, so I went back to the house to freshen up...... I'm going to call my aunt over! ”
Gu Xiyan nodded: "I'm alone today, and I'll wait for Miss Duan to finish freshening up." Let her eat with me! ”
Mo Ju left in response.
Gu Xiyan also freshened up herself, and when she came out, Duan Niang stood in the house with her hands down. Gu Xiyan called Mo Ju to set the meal, and then invited Duan Niang to sit on the kang and talk.
Duan Niang waited for the red jade to bring up the kang table, and supported the girls who served the ground next to her, and then carefully told Ding Cuiniang about the appearance of the forest behind the Guangming Temple.
Gu Xiyan sighed: "It's really unlucky!" Why didn't it appear early, didn't appear late, but it appeared at that time. The first clever woman appeared alone in the back forest where Qi Maosheng and I were walking, no wonder those who didn't say hello to her, and they were going to kill her! ”
Duan Niang said worriedly: "Girl." How good is that! The twelve grandmothers are affectionate and righteous...... Let me bring a message to the girl, saying that the girl does not have to have any scruples, and everything is up to the girl! ”
Gu Xiyan was stunned: "Everything is up to me...... If I don't come forward to stop Qi Mao from killing them, will they accept it? ”
Duan Niang nodded gloomily: "Grandma Twelve said, keep Qingshan here." I'm not afraid of running out of firewood. Let the girl not be unhappy because of this...... I just want the girl to be safe. The rest, let the girl not bother! ”
Gu Xiyan felt sweat on his forehead. =STARTER=
She is just an ordinary person, knowing that although there are many injustices in the world, most of the time she will bury her head in the sand like an ostrich to whitewash the peace, but if someone really loses her life because of her indifference, her conscience will still jump out and accuse her of being mean......
Duan Niang hesitated: "Girl, if you can, can you ask the master." Anyway. It's always relatives, and Panxi still expects them to take care of ......"
At this point. Both of them thought of going together.
Gu Xiyan felt in a dilemma.
"I know that, too...... It's just that Mao Sheng is a person with ideas, and there are some things that I can't say too deeply......"
Duan Niang was stunned and said: "Ye is obedient to you on weekdays......"
Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly: "Those are harmless little things, and they can't be compared with this matter." ”
Duan Niang pouted: "I can't see anything that can't be compared!" ”
Gu Xiyan explained to her: "Once released, the Qi and Liu families will definitely be tied together, sharing benefits and risks." But after all, the Liu family is a Xizhao person, and their net worth and property are all in Jiangnan, so I am afraid that if there is something wrong at that time, the Liu family may not take care of the Qi family...... Also, those local rich people in Yandi. The emergence of the Liu family will definitely break the current pattern, and when the time comes, a storm will inevitably occur. This is all a trivial matter, the important thing is that if Mao Sheng acquiesces to them doing business in Yandi, does the Liu family have the ability to repay Mao Shengdi for concessions, can they open up this situation, and whether the Qi family will get more benefits than before...... Maosheng, first it was Qi Hao, the Duke of Yanguo, and then my Gu Xiyan's husband Qi Maosheng! Speaking of which, Gu Xiyan himself had a few sighs.
Duanniang is a person who grew up in a living family, and she naturally knows these twists and turns, but when she came to Gong's house today, Liang Zhangzhu impressed her too much, so she had the idea of helping her.
"I'm just sorry...... Such a good girl......"
Gu Xiyan also heard some consciousness, and said helplessly: "Every grass has a drop of dew, not to mention people, no matter what, they always have to give it a try......"
But until Qi Maosheng returned to the pear orchard, Gu Xiyan didn't think about how to open his mouth to him.
When it came to Qi Maosheng, his face was slightly drunk. In exuberant spirits.
Gu Xiyan smiled: "What's wrong, so happy?" ”
Qi Maosheng approached. There is a faint smell of alcohol on the body.
"If you don't go home for dinner, where are you going to drink?" Gu Xiyan got off the kang and took the robe that Qi Maosheng took off and handed it to Xingyu who was serving on the side.
Qi Maosheng took Xia Qing's handkerchief and wiped his face, then got on the kang, took a sip of the tea handed over by Gu Xiyan, and then smiled: "Guess! ”
Gu Xi Gu Xi saw that he was quite interested, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you are going to drink flower wine with the fourth uncle?" ”
Qi Maosheng laughed, and twisted Gu Xiyan's nose through the kang: "I think about these landless ...... all day long."
"If you don't come back, I'm alone. Of course you'll think about it! Gu Xiyan said angrily.
Qi Maosheng laughed again: "Fang Shaoqin has been with you for a day, and you still feel lonely!" ”
"Can Fang Shaoqin talk to you?" Gu Xiyan was cheeky and flirted with Qi Maosheng, "She looked at me attentively everywhere...... It's not a matter for me to avoid it, so I just opened my mind and let her see enough. However, I didn't let her into the Westinghouse, and you sometimes received Mr. Ding there, and I was afraid that something I didn't know about got into her eyes......"
Qi Maosheng listened, nodded again and again, and admonished her: "In the future, you will still have less contact with Fang Shaoqin...... We have different positions. Not a human ...... lest you be sad and sad when you get it, and it will be difficult to make a decision......"
Gu Xiyan disagreed: "That should be a matter of the future." Life is short, like morning dew. We don't know the future, cherish the present, and laugh when it's time to laugh. Grieve when it's time to grieve...... It is a good time to live up to this fateful encounter! ”
Qi Maosheng was stunned: "Why do you have such an idea?" ”
How do you have such an idea? Gu Xiyan was stunned.
Twenty-five years of trembling. As a result, the crossing was encountered; acted cautiously, but almost lost his life because of diarrhea; was sincerely frightened and planned, but as a result, people were not as good as heaven and were brought to Qi Maosheng...... The things of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, today I and Qi Maosheng are together, maybe a few years later, everything is a sweet memory. Or. Is it regret and chagrin...... Who knows?
She smiled indifferently and changed the subject: "Who did you eat with today?" ”
Qi Maosheng's face was kind: "Liu Youcheng came to visit me today." I entertained him for dinner! ”
"Liu, Liu Youcheng ......" Gu Xiyan was a little stammered, "Is it him, how can he ......"
"Well, that's him." Qi Maosheng's smiling face was a little serious, "Took the initiative to come to the door." I didn't mention any requests, only said that I wanted to move my family to Yongzhou, and I hoped I could agree. ”
Gu Xiyan's eyes were as wide as copper bells.
Qi Maosheng couldn't help but smile and touch Gu Xiyan's head: "I agreed." ”
"You agreed!" Gu Xiyan was stunned, "Then, did you say anything later?" ”
Qi Maosheng's eyes flashed with appreciation: "Say let me introduce Qi Xiao to him!" ”
"Qi Xiao!" Gu Xiyan said puzzledly, "Why do you want to introduce Qi Xiao, isn't it better to know you?" ”
"Me?" Qi Maosheng said with a smile, "If he continues to buy Gaochang's ginseng fruit and fur, can I greet him?" Naturally, I'm looking for Qi Xiao! ”
Yes, even if Qi Maosheng agreed that they would use Yandi to smuggle Gaochang's ginseng fruits and furs, Qi Maosheng would have to pretend not to know......
"It's a character!" Qi Maosheng said with satisfaction, "If he really moves his family to Yongzhou, I will not only recommend him to Qi Xiao, but also Wei Shijian...... As for whether it can stand or not, it's up to him! ”
This Liu Youcheng, he didn't want to die, and he brought the whole family with him...... Gu Xiyan scolded secretly in his heart, and the expression on his face became a little unnatural: "Mao Sheng, even if there is really something, you can't give someone ...... I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night with a nightmare......"
Qi Maosheng smiled disapprenously: "Don't worry, a person like him, what he lacks is just an opportunity...... Hearing Qi Maosheng praise Liu Youcheng so much, Gu Xiyan felt as uncomfortable as a bone and a throat.
This Liu Youcheng, is he taking a risk, Qi Maosheng, is not a vegetarian guy......
In the next two days, Qi Maosheng seemed to be really planning something for Liu Youcheng, and Wei Shijian had come to Yanguo's mansion. Of course, Gu Xiyan didn't see him, but he just heard that Wei Shijian went to Huaiyuan to greet Mrs. Wei.
On the second day of Wei Shijian's visit, Qi Mao went to Gaochang in person.
