When Gu Xiyan woke up, she found that there was no light in the room, and the moonlight shone in through the gauze curtain and fell on her brightly.

"Wake up!" Mao Sheng's unique mellow voice, Gu Xiyan felt very relieved when he listened to it.

"Why don't you light the lights?" Gu Xiyan sat up, and the thin clip was slipped on the kang, "The black light is blinding!" ”

"I'm thinking about something!" Crooked in the corner of the kang, the whole person dissolves in the darkness.

Gu Xiyan climbed to Qi Maosheng's side and hugged his waist: "Is there something wrong with Xizhao!" ”

Something happened, but he didn't want to tell Gu Xiyan.

Xiyan is too perceptive, and has a natural intuition to see things for what they are.

Now there are more and more ministers who agree with the emperor's retreat to the Yinghua Palace, and Fang Jixian has received support from the military, and the situation is very strict for Lei Ming and others. If Gu Chaorong kept to herself as her imperial concubine, then naturally there would be nothing, but the question is, is Gu Chaorong that kind of person...

Qi Maosheng didn't want to worry Gu Xiyan because of these things.

He hopes that she can live happily under his wing, even if she has troubles, she is just worried about whether to go to Mrs. Xu every day to make rules...

Qi Maosheng pressed these thoughts in his heart and called Xia Qing.

Xia Qing, who was standing under the eaves, answered, and after a while, she brought two little girls in and lit the lamp.

He took out a box from under the pillow and said, "Come, let's see what the imperial concubine has brought you!" ”

"Huh. So soon! Gu Xiyan was instinctively wary of Gu Chaorong, looking at the box, "Let's find someone to open it." Lest there be anything wrong... I used to see a book that said that someone put poison on the book, and the person who read the book touched his finger and was poisoned..."

Qi Maosheng laughed, and rubbed Gu Xiyan's hair: "I'm tired like that, why don't you stop thinking about it!" ”

Gu Xiyan pouted: "I'm not afraid that the imperial concubine will plot against you under my banner!" ”

When Qi Maosheng heard this, he was stunned, and the smile on his face gradually converged. Gently hugged Gu Xiyan in his arms.

He pressed his chin against the top of Gu Xiyan's head and said softly, "I'll be very careful..."

Gu Xiyan was also very curious about what Gu Chaorong would bring her.

She struggled to sit up, but Qi Maosheng's arm hugged her tightly like an iron hoop, and said, "Xiyan, don't move, let me hold for a while!" His voice was deep and mellow, and there was a touch in his tone.

Gu Xiyan quietly let him hold it, and secretly said in his heart, I don't seem to have done anything, what happened to Qi Maosheng!

The two embraced quietly for a while. Qi Maosheng let go of Gu Xiyan at this time, and said in a happy voice: "Okay, let's take a look at the gift of the imperial concubine." ”

The box was locked with a small golden lock, Qi Maosheng twisted it slightly, and the golden lock was broken, he opened the box, and Gu Xiyan saw a letter in the box made of red flannel, and nothing was written on the envelope, but the seal was sealed with fire paint.

Both of them thought it was a little strange.

Gu Xiyan gently turned Qi Maosheng with his elbow: "Open it and take a look!" ”

Qi Maosheng hesitated. said: "I'm afraid it's just for you..."

"Between me and her, there is nothing to hide from you!" Gu Xiyan looked at the box and said.

"Xiyan," Qi Maosheng smiled, "I believe in you." Open it up and see for yourself! ”

Gu Xiyan immediately understood.

It turned out that his actions had become a kind of confession to him in Qi Maosheng's eyes.

She couldn't help but have black lines all over her face.

In fact, she felt that a person like Gu Chaorong would never go all the way to send a letter to herself for the sake of sisterhood... After all, Qi Maosheng is more knowledgeable than her, and he is a professional politician, so he should be able to see the problem better than her.

The more Gu Chaorong wanted to act like this, the more Gu Xiyan wanted Qi Maosheng to help her solve this problem.

So she said very persistently: "The wife has her own affairs, and the husband does it for her." Quick, open it and take a look! ”

Qi Maosheng saw Gu Xiyan's face full of seriousness. I couldn't help but smile and shook my head. The letter was opened.

The letter was only two thin sheets of paper, and he quickly ran through them. There was a look of surprise on his face.

Something that can surprise Qi Maosheng...

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "What did you say, what did you say?" ”

Qi Maosheng handed the letter to Gu Xiyan.

Ordinary white paper, beautiful and straight hairpins.

Gu Xiyan quickly finished reading.

She looked up in surprise and said, "I don't have any impression of this thing she said!" ”

However, maybe Gu Xiyan really has an impression, but she really doesn't have an impression at all.

Qi Maosheng groaned: "I'm afraid you were young at that time and didn't take it to heart. ”

Gu Chaorong wrote a letter, saying that the Gu family had a fine steel box containing the treasured books of the ancestors of the past dynasties, and she needed to check something now, so that Gu Xiyan could lend her the key.

Gu Xiyan read the letter again, and had to say suspiciously: "Or, ask Duan Niang, maybe she helped me collect it, it may not be... However, for the sake of a key, can you commit such a mobilization? ”

Qi Maosheng guessed: "Maybe it's for safety reasons!" ”

At this time, the Xizhao temple was already in the limelight, and Gu's family, as an internal wife, made friends with the outside world, just this one, she could fall into a state of no return... In that case, why did she contact Xiyan so urgently at this time? Also, at this critical juncture, what is the information she wants to check?

Qi Maosheng looked at the two thin pages of paper, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The first year of the Autumn Festival. was almost strangled to death by Gui Guan; On the autumn festival of the second year, he ran away from the marriage in panic; On this year's Autumn Festival, Gu Xiyan thought that she could go out with Qi Maosheng. Who knows, because of the death of Empress Dowager Fang, all the celebrations in Yandi have been canceled.

The Yanguo Mansion will only invite Qi Yuzhi and his wife to come over to admire the moon at night.

Gu Xiyan has been lamenting since he got up.

Qi Maosheng had already dressed and was ready to practice, and when he saw Gu Xiyan's old lady chattering, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If it's really boring, let's go to Chunkuo to live for two days, and we'll be over there." There is Zhuangzi..."

"Okay!" Gu Xiyan was in good spirits, but immediately thought of Ye Zisu's disappearance, and couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.

Seeing this, Qi Maosheng smiled and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said, "Can you just go with the two of us?" ”

Qi Maosheng smiled and scratched her nose: "I'll talk about it then." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled.

Qi Maosheng's tone usually means that he will work hard, and Qi Maosheng's efforts usually represent success.

While the two were talking, Duan Niang came in.

"You'll wait!" Gu Xiyan took Qi Maosheng's hand: "This matter was caused by you, you have to be responsible for solving it!" ”

Qi Maosheng smiled: "Why is it on my head..."

Gu Xiyan pouted: "You told my sister that I was here... Of course, you have to be responsible for the aftermath! ”

Her words were so unclear that she startled Duanniang.

Her face was a little pale. didn't care about humility, and asked Qi Maosheng anxiously: "Grandpa Guo, but, but the eldest girl of our family knows..."

Gu Xiyan was afraid that Duan Niang would blame Qi Maosheng, so she hurriedly said, "I'll talk about this later." Now there's a tricky matter. As he spoke, he took Gu Chaorong's letter to Duan Niang, "Take a look... If you want it, just give it to her. Anyway, I won't go back to Xizhao||, and I don't need to... lest they be implicated in the sin of conceiving it..."

Duan Niang hurriedly took the letter and read it hurriedly.

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan with a persecuted face. I couldn't help laughing and said, "You really have the wind of Shilin... Wealth is like smoke, money is like dung! ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Doesn't I have Qi Maosheng?" ”

Although Duan Niang was in front of him, Qi Maosheng couldn't help laughing out loud when he said this.

Xiyan, sometimes it's really funny... actually teased him... Like. It's like those unworldly gentlemen who see the beauty on the street without filthy flirtation... It's just that the roles are a bit reversed...

Thinking of this, Qi Maosheng couldn't help but laugh again.

Xiyan, I like him very much!

Duan Niang quickly read the letter, but she still pretended to stare and took this opportunity to think for a long time before looking up.

"I'm not impressed at all!" Gu Xiyan said a little weakly, "Does my aunt remember..."

Duanniang said seriously: "I don't seem to be impressed!" ”

Gu Xiyan's face couldn't help but show disappointment.

Qi Maosheng comforted: "If you don't remember, forget it... I'll have someone bring her a message... She's in Ouchi now, and if she really needs it, she can ask the craftsman to pry the stainless steel box open. It's a bit of a hassle though. But it's not impossible. ”

Duan Niang also said: "Yes." Madam. Now the eldest girl is in the inner court, there. Some are skilled craftsmen. ”

Because I had to go to Mrs. Xu to say goodbye later, and I got up later than usual today, and the time was pressing, Gu Xiyan nodded and called Qiu Shi to come in and comb her hair.

Duan Niang sent Qi Maosheng out.

"Master, the key is in my hand!" Duan Niang is low and authentic.

Qi Maosheng had an expression that I had known for a long time.

Duan Niang sighed.

This treasure is finally the right bet again.

"There are two keys to this. When the old lady died, it was handed over to Mrs. Lian. In Mrs. Lian's heart, although the eldest girl is a stepdaughter, she is as close as her own child... So when Mrs. Lian died, she gave one to the eldest girl and the other to the lady," said this, Duanniang paused, "The eldest girl is now rich and rich, and she still remembers this thing." I thought, I'm afraid it's not easy... If the big girl really gains power, maybe this thing will still have a use, and it's better to keep it than to give it away for nothing... At that time, the lady was only three years old, so she might as well say that she couldn't remember clearly. Yandi and Xizhao are far away, and this letter has come and gone, and there is no one that has been three years or two years, so I am afraid it is not clear. ”

Qi Maosheng pondered for a moment and nodded.

Duan Niang carefully observed Qi Maosheng's face: "Wait a minute, I'll give the key to the master." ”

Qi Maosheng was stunned for a moment, paused, and then said, "No need, you can help Xiyan keep it!" ”

Duan Niang smiled: "Since you have entered the door of the Qi family, you are a member of the Qi family." Besides, this thing, but even what Mrs. left to Mrs. back then can be regarded as a dowry. Rest assured to accept it! ”

Qi Maosheng sighed in his heart.

If I really accept it, it will be like a handle for this aunt to pinch in her hand... If one day I accidentally put on small shoes in front of Xiyan, it would be a piece of cake. No wonder my father tolerated Mrs. Wei's nurse so much, it seems that it makes sense... Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station: for easy reading next time!
