At night, Gu Xiyan slept next to Duan Niang and told everything she had done during this time.

Duanniang scolded Aunt Qin: "This one who has suffered a thousand knives will keep you in the troupe." She didn't want to think about what kind of territory she was, and she wasn't afraid of tarnishing the girl's reputation......"

Gu Xiyan saw that she scolded fiercely, and persuaded: "She is not bad to me, and I have come back safely, so don't be angry." ”

Maybe it was because she was tired of scolding, maybe it was the fact that Gu Xiyan came back made her anger towards Aunt Qin disappear a little, Duan Niang let out a long sigh, and said in a tired voice: "Yes, as long as you come back safely." ”

Gu Xiyan saw that her face was full of tiredness, helped Duan Niang tuck the quilt corners, and said, "You rest first, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Duan Niang couldn't sleep day and night, worried about Gu Xiyan's safety, now that Gu Xiyan is back, she is at ease, she has long been sleepy, and now when she heard Gu Xiyan say this, she turned over and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Xiyan couldn't sleep, she stared at the corner of the tent with her eyes wide open and thought about her thoughts, and it took a long time to get into the quilt and fall asleep with Duan Niang.

Early the next morning, before she could open her eyes, she was dragged out of the bed by twisting her ears. She was so painful that she couldn't see the appearance of the person who was screwing her ear, but she heard Duan Niang shouting eagerly: "Master, let go, let go." She's young and ignorant, so let her go! ”

As soon as the hand that was gripping her ears loosened, Gu Xiyan fell to the cold bluestone floor.

Old Master Gu looked down at her and asked with a hideous expression, "Where is Guiguan?" ”

Gu Xiyan rubbed his ears, which were unconscious in pain, and replied aggrievedly: "I, how do I know where Guiguan is?" ”

Master Gu raised his foot and kicked her fiercely: "I'll tell you, if you can't find Guiguan, don't want to live!" After speaking, he kicked at Gu Xiyan fiercely as if he was still hateful.

Duan Niang rushed down from the bed and hugged Master Gu's feet, and begged bitterly: "Master, for the sake of the eldest girl, spare the second girl, I will kowtow to you!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Master Gu.

Gu Xiyan seemed to be scared silly, and he didn't cry out in pain after being kicked a few times, and looked at Master Gu blankly, his eyes full of disbelief. It wasn't until she heard Duanniang's "bang" kowtow that she seemed to come back to her senses, she hurriedly crawled to Duanniang's side to help her, but Duanniang threw away Gu Xiyan's hand and kept kowtowing there: "Master, the girl is young, I didn't teach it well, you are upset, just beat me to death!" She was still young...... "a patch of blood gradually oozed from her forehead."

Gu Xiyan's tears dripped down like rain, and while she tried hard to pull Duan Niang, she shouted at Master Gu: "Father's question is strange, I have been worshipping pox Niangniang at home for the past two months, and the two little boys in your house ran away, why did you ask about your daughter." You can ask this, and my daughter really can't answer it. ”

As soon as Duan Niang heard this, she couldn't care about kowtowing to Master Gu, so she pounced over and covered Gu Xiyan's mouth, but unfortunately it was late, Master Gu had already heard it clearly on the side, his face was pale, and he trembled: "Little slut, you have turned the sky upside down, and you dare to talk back......" While saying, he raised his foot and kicked Gu Xiyan again.

Who knew that Gu Xiyan actually grabbed Gu Lao's leg and dragged it, Gu Lao's unsteady, fell to the ground with a "horn", struggled a few times, and fainted like this.

The little boy who came in with Master Gu screamed when he saw this, and Duan Niang was so frightened that she rushed to Master Gu's side, and while trying Master Gu's snort with her hand, she shouted, "Master, master, how are you......"

Just as the man was turning over his horse, Mrs. Gu ran in in a panic and said hurriedly, "What's wrong?" What's going on? Behind her, there were also Mama Tian and Mama Sun.

Duan Niang hurriedly looked at the back of Master Gu's head and said, "It shouldn't matter, there is no problem with the head!" ”

Mrs. Gu also breathed a sigh of relief, she glanced at Master Gu with disgust and impatience, and said to the little boy: "Go, call the person in charge of your house, help the master back to the house and invite a doctor to take a look." We have to go to the imperial concubine to answer today! ”

The boy cowered and ran out.

Mrs. Gu didn't look at Master Gu again, and with a cold face, she instructed Mo Ju, who was probing her brain outside the door, and said, "Why don't you go and ask Aunt Duan to come with a doctor, they are all some blind ones." ”

Mo Ju responded and ran away.

Mrs. Gu let out a long breath and said, "Go to the hall and talk, stand here, what kind of system." ”

Gu Xiyan put on a dress and helped Duanniang to the hall.

Mrs. Gu didn't sit down, stood and instructed Gu Xiyan: "I'll go to the Zongren's Mansion to deliver the sign later, as for arranging when to see Niangniang, it's also uncertain." In the past few days, you should rest at home and rest, and don't go anywhere, so as not to have any gossip to say it, which is not good for you and the Gu family. ”

Gu Xiyan is very well-behaved.

Mrs. Gu sighed, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to cover her nose, glanced at Master Gu with a disgusted expression, and then took Mama Tian and Mama Sun away.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly helped Duan Niang to lie down in her room, and personally fetched water to serve Duan Niang to wash her face, poured a cup of tea for Duan Niang to drink, and then asked Xinghong to clean up for herself.

After waiting for a while, the little boy in Master Gu's house called four or five boys who were all eleven or twelve years old, all of them were very handsome, and Gu Xiyan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Master Gu's hobbies.

A few children carried Master Gu out of the yard with a drag, put him on his shoulder, and drove him away.

After a while, Mo Ju came back: "I've already gone to ask for a doctor!" ”

Gu Xiyan said "hard work", and asked Mo Ju and Xinghong to make breakfast, but Duan Niang called Gu Xiyan in the house, and lay on the bed to persuade Gu Xiyan: "Heaven and earth are the princes, how can there be daughters who disobey their parents." You are a girl's family, don't say that you are not married, but you are married, don't you want your mother's family...... Listen to me, and when the old man wakes up, go to her house and kneel...... After all, flesh and blood are connected, and water is thicker than water......"

Gu Xiyan just lowered his head and listened, and he didn't say a word.

Duan Niang knew that she was unwilling, so she sighed helplessly.

After breakfast, Gu Xiyan obediently practiced calligraphy in the house, Duanniang looked at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows with a smile, and quietly instructed Mo Ju: "You go to the master to find out the news and see what happened to the master?" ”

Mo Ju took Xinghong with her.

Duanniang told Gu Xiyan: "The master is a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and only the eldest girl can hold it...... You have to find the eldest girl to get an idea about this matter, otherwise the master will not spare you. ”

When Gu Xiyan heard Duan Niang say this, she suddenly became infinitely curious about the eldest girl of the Gu family, she put down her pen and asked Duan Niang: "What kind of person is the imperial concubine Niangniang?" ”

Duanniang thought for a long time and said, "I can't say it either." Anyway, she is very capable, when she was at home in the past, we begged her to get an idea about anything, even if the master didn't understand anything, he would ask the eldest girl. ”

Gu Xiyan became even more curious, and she asked, "Is she good to me?" Well, I mean, does she love me a lot? ”

Duanniang smiled: "The girl wants to ask if you have caused such a big disaster this time, will Niangniang help you?" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded.

Duanniang said with certainty: "Don't worry, the eldest girl is good-hearted, she will definitely help you." ”

A woman who can let the queen mother enter the palace on the condition of not giving birth to offspring, Gu Xiyan really doesn't believe it.

When it was almost lunch, Mo Ju and Xinghong came back and said that the old man was fine, but he twisted his waist and wanted to lie in bed for a few days.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Gu asked Mama Tian to bring a message, saying that she could enter the palace early tomorrow morning to meet the imperial concubine. came with Mama Tian, as well as Aunt Cui Baoyi Cui, who was invited by Mrs. Gu to tell Gu Xiyan the rules, saying that it was so as not to be rude in front of the palace and lose the face of the Gu family.

Aunt Cui saw Gu Xiyan, looked at her face for a long time, and said with a smile: "The girl's chickenpox is really well cured, there is no trace!" ”

I don't know why, Gu Xiyan is not as comfortable with Aunt Cui as she is with Aunt Qin, and she always feels that there is something under Aunt Cui's noble and gorgeous appearance that she can't understand, and it makes her afraid, which makes her often feel a sense of pressure when facing Aunt Cui. Just like now, an ordinary sentence can always feel that there is something in Gu Xiyan's ears.

Maybe it's because I'm too weak-hearted!

Gu Xiyan smiled self-deprecatingly.

In the next time, neither of them said much, Gu Xiyan followed Aunt Cui very seriously to learn those court etiquettes, fortunately, Gu Xiyan often participated in some training in this area organized by the company before, and soon learned well, Aunt Cui praised her very rarely when she left, "Not bad".

When it was time to hold the lamp, Master Gu sent a little boy to ask Gu Xiyan to meet her.

Gu Xiyan replied coldly: "I'm going to see the imperial concubine Niangniang early tomorrow morning, I have to raise my spirits, and I'll talk about it when I come back from the palace." ”

The boy couldn't help it, so he blushed and left.

After a while, it was Deacon Ding who asked to see him.

Gu Xiyan said coldly to Deacon Ding through the bamboo curtain: "You are also an old man who acts in the Gu family, and you can still remember the rule that a three-foot boy is not allowed to enter the inner courtyard." I'm going to persuade you to think twice before acting, so as not to be beaten to death by a stick afterwards, Mama Song is your example! ”

Deacon Ding touched his nose and sneered, "The girl taught me a lesson." Then Shi Shiran left.

Duanniang was worried.

Gu Xiyan sneered again and again, but had nightmares in the middle of the night.
