At dinner that day, Cui's didn't mean to call her at all, Fang Shaoqin also took it for granted, of course Gu Xiyan wouldn't insist on anything, after all, Cui's opinion of Zhenniang was here, if one didn't do it well, maybe he would say something excessive, it would be even more of a bad thing...

Because they arrived at about three o'clock in the afternoon, they had been on the road for most of the day, and after eating, everyone went back to their houses to rest.

Gu Xiyan returned to the house and went to see Hongluan first.

Hongluan was asleep.

It was a little hot in the back room, Zhen Niang was sitting at the head of the bed fanning Hongluan, and when she saw Gu Xiyan coming in, she hurriedly stood up.

Only then did Gu Xiyan realize that Zhen Niang's eyes were red.

It must have been Cui's words that made her feel something.

Gu Xiyan smiled, made a silent gesture towards her, and then walked lightly to the bed and looked at Hongluan.

Hongluan's three meals are basically normal these days, her little face is pink and tender, she is sideways, her mouth is pouting, her little hands are pillowing on her face, and you can see a few fine sweats on the sideburns of the blue veins.

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth couldn't help but curl, and he gently touched Hongluan's jet-black and shiny hair.

Maybe he felt something passing by, so Hongluan waved his hand above his head without bothering, turned over, and went to sleep again.

Gu Xiyan laughed silently, nodded at Zhen Niang, and then got up and went back to the house.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Niang followed, and the two stood in the hall and spoke.

"Young lady, there are many rudeness during this time, and I hope Haihan!" Saying that, Zhen Niang half-squatted and gave Gu Xiyan a blessing.

Her movements are light and her posture is graceful, which is pleasing to the eye.

Gu Xiyan didn't expect Zhen Niang to choose such an opportunity and use such a method to talk to her.

She smiled: "Between you, there was no enmity in the past, and there is no resentment in the near future." It's just a little bit of a disagreement, it's all for Hongluan, Zhenniang doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Madame is so tolerant, it seems that I am a little family." Zhen Niang's eyes turned red, "There are some things that I don't want to say more, because I am afraid that my wife will misunderstand." Now Mrs. Kan is indeed sincere to Hongluan. I still have something to worry about. After speaking, he gently wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Gu Xiyan looked at her with a pitiful look, although she didn't think so, but out of politeness, she still handed her a handkerchief: "If you have anything to say, everyone can say it!" ”

Zhenniang took the veil, but tears fell like raindrops: "I am an ominous person... But when others give a few faces, it seems that I am grateful to Dade... But I'm worse than anyone else, it's just fate playing tricks on people... Although Hongluan doesn't know anything, she really needs me... I'm willing to serve her... It turned out to be two lonely people. Just hold each other up. In my heart, Hongluan is closer than anyone else... I was reluctant to leave her... I had made up my mind and was going to follow her all the time... Now, it was not my intention to make the young lady so embarrassed. I thought, my grandfather is coming back soon. When the time comes, the lady will mention to the grandfather, I, I will still go out of the house..."After speaking, he cried bitterly.

Gu Xiyan sighed and said, "Don't worry about it." To be honest, you are so doting on Hongluan. It's not a good sign... But it's not so much that you have to leave the house. If everyone is like you, if you are wronged, you have to leave. What has become of that house? Since I've brought you here, you can settle down for a while and have fun for a few days... Everyone is tired today, so go and rest! ”

Zhen Niang sobbed and bent her knees to salute Gu Xiyan.

But looking at her big watery eyes, Gu Xiyan really couldn't soften!

So she turned around and went to find Cui.

The maidservant hurriedly said: "Young lady, the weather is hot, you rest, what's the matter." I'm going to call my wife to meet you. ”

"How can you let your wife come to see me!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile. "You can lead me!"

Even if it is a concubine, it will be divided into three, six, nine and so on. In the Qi family, Gu Xiyan is undoubtedly standing at the highest peak. But the more this is the case, the more you have to be low-key and respectful. Sometimes, getting along with others is a matter of face...

The maidservant girl naturally didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she hurriedly and carefully led Gu Xiyan to find the Cui family.

They crossed a few thresholds and stopped under the shuttered bamboo shed.

In the open building not far away, several grandmothers stood respectfully with their hands down, and Cui Shi was sitting on the Taishi chair and was talking about something, because it was far away, Gu Xiyan only faintly heard: "... Attentive service... When the time comes, there will be no distinction between old and new... Roll up the cover yourself and get out of the house for me..."

But the maidservant girl knew that this was the wife of the family telling the grandmothers in charge that if the lord in front of her was unhappy in the garden, everyone should not think about living in peace.

So she had a panicked expression on her face, and said lightly: "Young lady, I, you don't need to pass it on..."

Gu Xiyan saw that she was very nervous, so she showed a sweet smile and said softly: "Your wife is talking... How can I venture into it so boldly, let's spread the word! ”

The maidservant hesitated for a moment, and then hurried into the open building.

When Cui Shi saw someone coming in, he stopped, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Xiyan standing under the shutter shed far away, and she hurriedly got up: "Ninth brother and sister, you still talk to your sister-in-law about this false etiquette... Come on in! ”

There was a slight stirring in the house.

Gu Xiyan saw Cui's walk out, and immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has something, it's really not the right time for me to come..."

Cui Shi smiled: "What can people like us do... It's just a few words of advice on housework! ”

The two sat down in the room with a smile, those grandmothers saluted Gu Xiyan and retreated, and the maid beside Cui's served tea to Gu Xiyan, and Cui's smiled and said, "Brother and sister are looking for me, but what's the urgency?" ”

Gu Xiyan nodded, his eyes swept over the maid behind Cui's back, but he was silent.

Seeing this, Cui Shi immediately made a gesture, and the people who served in the room hurriedly retreated.

Only then did Gu Xiyan speak, "Sister-in-law, I'll ask for advice!" ”

Cui Shi hurriedly said: "You say, you say, I know everything!" ”

Gu Xiyan groaned: "I listen to my sister-in-law's words. The Wang family and Zhenniang seem to have a misunderstanding, so do you know that the Wang family still takes care of Zhenniang's daily life? ”

Cui Shi was stunned: "Why did my brother and sister say this? But what did the lady say in front of you? ”

"No, no, no," Gu Xiyan said busily, "Don't get me wrong. Zhenniang didn't say anything in front of me. It's me who cares about it. Speaking of which, now Zhenniang's monthly money is received from me, and the amount is not small. Some time ago, my aunt in the house raised her monthly money, and I thought that the Wang family... So she didn't go up. If she breaks off the relationship with the Wang family, I think about it, I have to give her a rise in the name of Aunt Duan! ”

This is, of course, an excuse.

Cui Shi pondered for a while before he said, "It turns out that there is." Later, the old lady went... I didn't ask again! ”

Gu Xiyan nodded, and said with shame: "Speaking of which, it's all my negligence!" ”

Cui Shi heard Gu Xiyan say this. It was quite a bit of a relief for her, and said with a smile: "You don't have to feel guilty... It turned out that when Mrs. Ye was alive, she was rewarded a lot. It's not good, it's more than you and me! With that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Gu Xiyan also laughed.

No wonder dare to raise the house.

If I really bring it up to Maosheng, I'm afraid I'm going to be poked off my backbone.

The daughter of a good family, entrusted by her deceased mother-in-law. Helping to take care of a sick girl, I offended my husband's family for this, and I can't return to my home... Now he has been kicked out of the house for no reason... When the time comes, it will be Cui's, I'm afraid I will have to mutter a few words to myself behind my back!

The summer in Yandi is mild.

No glare of the sun, no scorching drafts. Even when the wind blows, it is plain, gentle and supple.

Gu Xiyan likes it very much.

The yard that Cui arranged for her. There is a clump of bamboo planted in the corner of the wall, and a trickle of water flows around it, and the water flows slowly and clearly. Gardenia is helping Hongluan to play in the stream.

Gu Xiyan looked at the two small figures surrounded by the grandmothers and maids from a distance, and couldn't help but show a relieved smile on her face.

Fang Shaoqin watched from the side and said with a smile: "What means did Auntie use, how did she make that Zhenniang stop... Yesterday, a few aunts came over, and I took Zhenniang to drink together. She said she would take care of Hongluan. Pushed... It turns out that in the pear orchard, doesn't she like it very much? "Finished. She looked at Gu Xiyan with a puzzled look.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "What method do I have... I'm afraid that after listening to my sister-in-law's words, I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Fang Shaoqin pursed her lips: "I finally understand!" ”

As the two were talking, they saw Zhen Niang hurrying over, and when Hongluan saw Zhen Niang from a distance, she showed a sweet smile, and her arms were wide open, asking Zhen Niang to hug her.

Zhen Niang smiled softly, and took Hongluan out of the stream, the heads of the two intersected, Zhenniang whispered in Hongluan's ear, Hongluan raised her little face with distinct facial features, grinning, indescribably happy.

Gu Xiyan sighed and muttered, "I really raised a white-eyed wolf... And her dad was printed out of the same mold..."

When she first settled down, Hongluan was really scared, even if Gu Xiyan reduced the weight of her Yang Rong Ointment, she didn't even dare to lose her temper. Once, Zhenniang was pulled away by Fang Shaoqin, and Mama Lei and Gardenia were not around, so she actually leaned on Gu Xiyan's arms.

Gu Xiyan thought that their relationship would improve somewhat, but who knows, as soon as Zhenniang came back, she threw herself into Zhenniang's arms again.

I can't raise a family at all!

Gu Xiyan was once again knocked down by this feeling.

So now, as long as Zhenniang doesn't interfere with her gradual reduction of Rong Anointment, she won't bother to pay attention to those things.

Fang Shaoqin saw Gu Xiyan looking at Zhen Niang and Hongluan's face with anger, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Auntie, I see, you have this kung fu, it's better to give birth to one yourself..."

Gu Xiyan turned her head and glared at Fang Shaoqin.

has the ability to say cool things here, why don't you have the ability to give birth to one... These words slipped to his lips, but they made Gu Xiyan swallow them.

Fang Shaoqin seemed to remember something, and her happy smile gradually faded, revealing a confused look.
