Chapter 189: Voices from a Foreign Country (4)

"Xiyan," Qi Maosheng hugged the little man in his arms tightly, "Don't cry, I will always be by your side...... Never let you be scared again, won't make you regret ......"

"I know.

Qi Maosheng also heard a few words, and said bitterly: "Xiyan, my identity and position are inconvenient to come forward. But don't worry, I'll send someone to take care of them secretly. ”

"No matter how much we take care of it, we are far away." Gu Xiyan shook his head: "If one of them is not careful, let Xizhao find out about the relationship between the two families, maybe, it will drag them down." ”

At this point, she had a few hesitations.

Qi Maosheng knew that Gu Xiyan had always had an idea, so he hurriedly said: "We are not others, what do you think, just say it." ”

Gu Xiyan still hesitated for a moment before saying, "The most appropriate thing is naturally to rely on the Liu family." Anyway, they are their mother's maiden clan after all. It's just that the Liu family has not been happy in Jiangnan in recent years, and before I came to Yandi, they began to sell houses and land...... They relied on the smuggling business of ginseng fruit, dongzhu and furs...... As long as you don't shake the basics, if you can take care of them, take care of them, I believe that the Liu family is also a smart person, so they will naturally receive this feeling...... It can be regarded as my sister's return for their kindness in taking care of my mother and younger brother! ”

Qi Mao was stunned.

The half-light hit his face, sharp as a knife, sharp as a sword.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyan secretly sighed in his heart.

With Maosheng's temperament, Ding Cuiniang and the twelve grandmothers of the Liu family will definitely get rid of them...... can take care of Mrs.'s kindness and look forward to the future. She only trusted the people of the Liu family......

Qi Maosheng looked at the worried face in front of him and was silent for a moment.

Everything she did was for her.

If you kill those two Liu family members because of this, wouldn't what you did put before the horse.

He shouted violently: "Tian Xiang, you hurry up and go to the Guangming Temple, and send the twelfth grandmother of the Liu family and that Ding Cuiniang to Gong Tao's house to raise." ”

Someone in the casual room answered. Turning the horse's head, he galloped away "with it".

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

That's all I can do......

Back at Qi's house, it was already midnight, and Duanniang was still standing at the second gate of the pear orchard waiting for them.

Seeing the two of them enter the door, Duan Niang respectfully bent her knees and saluted Qi Maosheng.

Gu Xiyan glanced at Qi Maosheng, and Qi Maosheng nodded: "Duanniang knows everything!" ”

She was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what she should say to Duan Niang at this moment.

Duan Niang was also a little uncomfortable. In the morning, Qi Maosheng had already told her the news of her old master's death, but she really didn't feel a little sad...... I can't cry even if I cry.

The two looked at each other, neither of them saw sadness in each other's eyes, and after a moment of silence, the two of them let out a slight sigh in unison.

This sigh was like a bolt of lightning that broke the barrier between the two. They suddenly realized that Gu Baozhang's death was as easy for both parties as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

In the blink of an eye, it was just a sip of tea.

Qi Maosheng took Gu Xiyan's hand and was about to go back to the house, but Gu Xiyan said, "We're back, do you want to go to Mrs. Xu to say goodbye?" ”

Qi Maosheng said coldly: "Forget it, I'll accompany you to greet her early tomorrow morning!" ”

Duan Niang glanced at Gu Xiyan.

The two entered the house while Qi Maosheng was freshening up. Gu Xiyan secretly asked Duan Niang: "What's wrong?" ”

Duan Niang said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xu is sick!" ”

Gu Xiyan disagreed. told Duan Niang about the incident in Xianji Courtyard in the morning, and said with a smile: "She is not sick, how can she explain to Maosheng!" ”

Duan Niang had another opinion, and said: "If it is a fake, why did even the eldest young master enter the mansion and personally serve medicine by the couch in the afternoon." Ma'am, you have to have an idea, don't get into any gossip. ”

Gu Xiyan was indeed a little surprised when she heard the news. She didn't care about freshening up. told Qi Maosheng what Duanniang told her, and said, "Let's go and see!" ”

Qi Maosheng was also a little surprised. Hurriedly said: "Then you quickly wash your face, it's cold outside, change into thicker clothes, let's go see her." ”

The two of them rushed to the Xianji Courtyard, and from a distance, they saw the lights in the Xianji Courtyard.

As soon as they got closer, a grandmother discovered Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan, and hurriedly went in to spread the word, and the two were directly introduced into Mrs. Xu's bedroom without resting.

Mrs. Xu was wearing a forehead handkerchief, leaning weakly on the high pillow, Qi Yuzhi and Fang Shaoqin were standing on Mrs. Xu's kang head with their hands down, Fang Shaoqin was also holding a small porcelain cup containing black lacquer and black medicine in her hand, it seemed that before Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan came in, Fang Shaoqin was feeding Mrs. Xu medicine.

Seeing Qi Maosheng and his wife coming in, Fang Shaoqin handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Mama Shi on the side, and then walked with Qi Yuzhi to Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng.

Qi Maosheng nodded solemnly, and then sat down quickly in front of Mrs. Xu's kang, his expression was anxious, and his tone was concerned: "Mother, I heard that you were uncomfortable in the morning, but Mama Yi said that you fell asleep, and my son was not good to disturb...... What did the doctor say? ”

Gu Xiyan was also busy bowing to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu smiled weakly and said, "When I am old and sleep late, I am a little in good spirits." The doctor has prescribed medication. You don't have to worry. Then she set her eyes on Gu Xiyan's body and asked about Gong Tao's wife with concern.

Gu Xiyan said respectfully: "Mother Lao is worried." Han Shi is just suffering from some wind and cold, and he is using medicine. ”

Mrs. Xu showed a relieved smile on her face: "That's good, that's good." Gong Tao is Maosheng's right arm and left arm, you can't be lazy. What herbs to use, what tonics to use, you just open your mouth to me. I opened the storeroom and sent it over. ”

Gu Xiyan glanced at Qi Maosheng and said, "Mother just said that my heart is up." We went to Gong's Mansion today, but we didn't expect that their family was so poor that they didn't even have a decent chair. If my mother agrees, I would like to ask the local doctor in the house to take a look at Han's illness and bring some tonic medicine. ”

"As it should be! As it should be! Mrs. Xu nodded again and again.

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng and smiled: "Since that's the case." Then I'll send Duan Niang to Gong Mansion tomorrow. ”

Qi Maozhi nodded slightly, Mrs. Xu naturally would not object, and this matter can be said to be settled like this.

Gu Xiyan smiled and took the medicine bowl in Mama Shi's hand, sat on the side of the kang and scooped up the decoction and fed it to Mrs. Xu.

After drinking the medicine, Fang Shaoqin took the honey water from the maidservant's hand and handed it to Gu Xiyan, who served Mrs. Xu to drink it again.

Qi Maozhi said with concern: "Mother has taken the medicine and feels better!" ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded, "You can come and see me." With this filial piety, I am happy when I look at it, and I am more than half better when I am sick. ”

Qi Maosheng hurriedly admitted his mistake: "My son is usually busy, but my mother moves less here...... It's all sons, it's not. "The attitude is surprisingly good, and it is simply not the same as that of Mrs. Wei.

"Look at you, you're the one who does great things. How can I detain you at home? Mrs. Xu smiled kindly, "Besides, don't I still have Xiyan by my side to take care of it!" After speaking, his eyes fell on Qi Yuzhi and his wife, "It's not too early, you guys go back and rest early!" Shaoqin served me for a day today, Yuguan, I will go back later, you have to thank your daughter-in-law on behalf of your grandmother. ”

Fang Shaoqin's somewhat pale face floated a red cloud.

Qi Yuzhi said: "Grandmother is sick. How can I let my aunt serve by the bedside. We are juniors, but we go to rest. Auntie, let Shaoqin stay here and do her filial piety for me! ”

"Stay here and do your filial piety for me", these words stunned Gu Xiyan when he heard it.

Reason: Qi Yuzhi is also ready to go back to the house by himself, leaving Fang Shaoqin here to take care of Mrs. Xu!

Qi Yuzhi's words also made Fang Shaoqin's tired expression stiffen.

Mrs. Xu looked at it, frowned slightly, and said, "No, no." You don't live in the house, it's a long way off. I went back early and rested. and lest I bear it

Gu Xiyan heard the sound and said with a smile: "Mother said yes." Jade Officer. My grandmother had taken the medicine and was going to rest. If you don't go back and rest early, will your grandmother be able to rest in peace? Hurry up and take Shaoqin back to the house, she has been busy all day today. Your second uncle and I here, aren't you still at ease? Her tone was kind, cheerful, and sincere, making people listen to the comfort of ironing

When Fang Shaoqin and Qi Yuzhi heard this, they were both stunned. Especially Qi Maosheng, he actually raised his head and looked at Gu Xiyan carefully.

Are you comparing me to Ye Shiso?

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth showed a playful smile.

Qi Yuzhi saw it in his eyes, and his expression was a little unnatural.

Fang Shaoqin's eyelids drooped, and the silence was terrifying.

Mrs. Xu listened to Gu Xiyan's words, with a loving smile on her face, and said: "I said that Xiyan is still one year younger than Shaoqin, and she always treats her as a child. Yuguan, Shaoqin, listen to your aunt, go back quickly! ”

Only then did Qi Yuzhi and his wife salute Mrs. Xu and Qi Maosheng, and took a group of grandmothers and maidservants out of the Xianji Courtyard.

Gu Xiyan sent them to the door on behalf of Mrs. Xu and Qi Maosheng.

Standing under the eaves, she saw Qi Yuzhi striding in front of her, and Fang Shaoqin hurriedly followed him, trotting a few steps from time to time...... The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the verandah.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

This uncle and nephew, really, is not a considerate person at all!

In the house, Mrs. Xu was praising Gu Xiyan: "...... It's a real pain. The elders are apologetic and polite, clever and cheerful, and among the younger generation of our Qi Mansion, we are first-class talents......"

Qi Maosheng smiled faintly and said, "This is my mother lifting her up." ”

"I'm not lifting her up!" Mrs. Xu sighed, "You are young and have no experience." Originally, I didn't think that as soon as I lay down, I knew that I was old, and the things in this family were a little powerless, I thought, or let Xiyan follow me, while I still have this spirit, and slowly hand over the family affairs to her. ”
