Chapter 266: Sheyan Qiuhong (II)
During this time, Mrs. Wei used the excuse of serving illness to sort out the East Purple Pavilion next door to Mrs. Xu, and occasionally rested there. γLatest chapter reading. γ
Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan were about to enter the house when Mrs. Wei and Bao Niang and Qin Niang also rushed over from next door, and several people met under the eaves.
Seeing Qi Maosheng, Mrs. Wei just said lightly, "I'm back", but she was very concerned about Gu Xiyan, and said angrily: "It's snowing and the sky is dark, why do you have to go this time, just let Maosheng come alone." β
Since Gu Xiyan came back from the spring, Mrs. Wei even waived her knee bending.
Gu Xiyan could quite understand her mood and smiled: "I eat, sleep, and eat every day, and I want to take this opportunity to walk around." β
Mrs. Wei is also a person from the past, if the child is counted as a small day, it doesn't matter if he is more than four months old, and it doesn't matter if he walks around properly, walking around is also good for production. But she was really worried in her heart, afraid that there would be a case.
Outside, a northerly wind blew loudly.
Bao Niang hurriedly lifted the curtain and invited everyone in.
The group entered the house, and Bao Niang hurriedly brought a Taishi chair with thick cushions for Gu Xiyan to sit on, and then called someone to serve tea.
Qi Maosheng looked at Mrs. Wei's radiant face and stopped talking.
Nine times out of ten, her son was unhappy in front of her, and Mrs. Wei didn't bother to pay attention to it at all. Just talking to Gu Xiyan: "I heard that you still use Mrs. Xu's Mother Cai to be responsible for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!" I don't think she's suitable, let's let Mama Zhang take care of it, when Aunt Gao was there before, Mama Zhang was in charge of Shangzhengju and had experience. It won't spoil you! β
Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Because it's the end of the year." There's so much going on. So it's better to be still than to be still. Wait for the end of the year. I'll talk to you again! β
Mrs. Wei nodded in satisfaction.
Qi Maosheng saw it. The brow frowned slightly. got up and said, "Xiyan." Let's go in and see Mrs. Xu! β
Gu Xiyan rose in response. followed Qi Maosheng into Mrs. Xu's bedroom.
Because it's winter. A wall of fire burned in the house. The windows were closed tightly. The air is a bit dreary.
A woman serving at Mrs. Xu's bedside saw Mr. and Mrs. Qi Maosheng. Hurry up and salute them.
Qi Maosheng glanced at Gu Xiyan as he looked at Mian Sheng.
Gu Xiyan hurriedly explained: "This is Mama Fan, who originally followed Aunt Gao. Mrs. Wei, who knows a little about medical science, specially sent her to serve Mrs. Xu! β
Qi Maosheng nodded, walked over and sat on the edge of Mrs. Xu's bed.
Mrs. Xu was lying on her back on the bed, covered with a beautiful blue mattress. The once beautiful facial features, eyes and mouth are crooked, the muscles on the face are beating uncontrollably, and the corners of the mouth are drooling from time to time, which looks very scary.
Seeing Qi Maosheng, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and it took a long time for a "huh" sound to come out.
Qi Maosheng sighed softly and smiled, "Mother heard that you are sick. I came back from Hexian to see you. β
The corners of Mrs. Xu's mouth trembled violently, and she shouted a few times with difficulty. But because of her slurred speech, no one could hear what she was saying.
Qi Maosheng pondered for a moment and said, "You just take care of your life and cultivation, and you don't have to worry about family affairs." Yuguan has me to take care of it. Shaoqin's side, I will also let Xiyan enlighten her...... They're still young and they're going to have children......"
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her eyes showed a look of begging.
Qi Maosheng's gaze suddenly became sharp: "Don't worry, as long as Yuguan is still my nephew one day, I will protect him every day!" β
As soon as his words fell, there was a sound of broken porcelain outside, but Mrs. Xu's dry eyes were slightly moistened......
When I walked out of the temple, snow fell in the sky again.
Qi Maosheng held an umbrella in one hand and Gu Xiyan in the other, and slowly walked towards Songzhen Courtyard.
Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng's grim face. I couldn't help but think of the dispute between mother and son just now. She couldn't help but sigh: "Don't blame Madame, Maosheng...... And she did. It's also for our good...... Although the means are bloody, the power to stop the fight is Wu, and I only hope that from now on, Qi Mansion will not repeat such a tragedy......"
Qi Maosheng's figure stood in the wind and snow.
He looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky and said abruptly: "It's useless to talk about us men...... Let the women swallow their hatred and kill Lian again and again at the slightest opportunity, just let the children suffer and thin the heirs of the Qi family......" Speaking of this, he hugged Gu Xiyan's shoulder hard, "Xiyan, we can't let the Qi family have this kind of thing anymore......"
Mrs. Wei leaned against the glass window and watched the figures of Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan disappear into the wind and snow.
Bao Niang came over with hot tea: "You can rest assured, the master has been hugging the young lady, the young lady will not fall!" β
Mrs. Wei took the tea with a bitter smile on her face: "What do you know...... She's the firstborn...... I couldn't save my first baby because I slipped my first child, and I couldn't save it three times in a row......" She lowered her eyelids and hid the pain that had penetrated deep into her bone marrow.
When Qi Maosheng and his wife returned to the pear orchard, there was a roll shop next to the big kang near the window outside.
It seems that Duan Niang is determined to be on duty at night.
Qi Maosheng is a person who doesn't regret making up his mind, so he naturally feels nothing, but Gu Xiyan is very uncomfortable.
No stranger had ever spent the night in the house since they got married.
She took the opportunity to freshen up and called Duan Niang to the ear room to talk.
"Auntie, don't be childish. You don't know how well he could hurt me. Besides, he only gave in for my sake, and the more this happens, the more we can't go too far......"
"But ......" Duan Niang hesitated.
Gu Xiyan deliberately made a straight face: "It was you who let me use the means against Mao Sheng, and now he has finally come back, and it is you who want to come to our house to watch the night." What do you want me to do? β
What else does Duan Niang have to say, Gu Xiyan's eyes glared: "If I take in the people in the house when I am pregnant." I don't want to live anymore......"
"Got it, got it!" Although Duan Niang didn't believe Gu Xiyan's words, she was afraid that if Qi Maosheng really couldn't help it...... I still couldn't help but say: "Don't let him get close to you, your fetus hasn't sat down yet, at least in five or six months......"
Seeing that Duanniang retreated, Gu Xiyan could still hear those nagging, and immediately smiled like a flower, and said to Xingyu, who was serving her to freshen up: "Take away the roll shop of the kang, this cold world, and I will accompany my aunt to have a glass of wine." As he spoke, he pushed Duan Niang out of the door.
Reading a book on the bed in the inner room, Qi Maosheng saw Duan Niang take the scroll on the kang outside and spread it away. couldn't help but be startled, and as soon as he sat up straight, he was about to ask, when he saw Gu Xiyan, who had finished grooming, running in wearing a mink coat and a single coat.
Qi Maosheng hurriedly lifted the corner of the quilt and hugged Gu Xiyan in his arms: "What's the matter...... Like a child! β
Gu Xiyan smiled and rolled into Qi Maosheng's arms and smiled proudly: "I persuaded Duan Niang to leave!" β
Qi Maosheng covered Gu Xiyan's slightly cool hand in his hand: "He also said that I would rest assured." That's how I usually run around in single clothes! β
The quilt with Qi Maosheng is much warmer than usual.
Gu Xiyan grinned twice and plunged his head into Qi Maosheng's arms.
Qi Maosheng blew the lamp, and the two snuggled together. Only a small melon-shaped glass lamp on the kang table in the outer room illuminates the room warmly and quietly.
Qi Maosheng's embrace always made Gu Xiyan feel warm and safe.
She chatted with Qi Maosheng: "Maosheng, how did you talk about the last time you went to Jiangsha?" β
"There has been no substantial progress at all!" Qi Maosheng's hand habitually reached into Gu Xiyan's placket, holding the plump and delicate feel on her chest, not letting him feel a little distracted, and Ma was also a little absent-minded when he spoke, "The Shen and Zheng families have joined forces a long time ago. Mrs. Hu of the Jin State Mansion was afraid that she would suffer from the fishing pond, so she made an appointment to talk about mutual support in Jiangsha...... You also know what happened later, because I attacked three states in a row, so they invited me temporarily...... It's just a unilateral proposal that let me not participate in the war, but there is no benefit, it is better to cooperate with Xizhao. First, I have trained the soldiers, second, I have made a name for myself, and third, I have saved a lot ......of money on food and grass and military salaries," he said, and there was a light and even breathing sound in his ears.
Qi Maosheng looked down and saw that Gu Xiyan was asleep in his arms.
Is it because of pregnancy?
Sanping also once said that she has been very sleepy since she was pregnant.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and shouted "Xiyan".
Gu Xiyan muttered ambiguously in his mouth, and rubbed his face on his shoulder. Then he fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Maosheng looked at the peaceful and quiet flower-like face in his arms. The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and her hand slid to her abdomen. Rub it carefully......
This is his wife and the soon-to-be-born child......
The desire that had just been raised gradually disappeared, and my heart swelled with unprecedented peace and satisfaction!
Qi Maosheng was originally only going to stay at home for two days to see Xiyan and the child before leaving, but in the end, he stayed for five days before leaving. During this period, no matter how excited he was, he didn't move his face.
Qi Maosheng's enthusiasm for married life, no one knows him better than Gu Xiyan, but Gu Xiyan is a little uneasy.
"Silly girl!" Qi Maosheng scratched her nose and smiled, "Isn't it good for us to be like this?" β
Of course!
Gu Xiyan hugged Qi Maosheng with tears in her eyes.
Except for the first day, when I went to see Fang Shaoqin with Gu Xiyan, the rest of the time the two were tired of being together.
When he got up in the morning, Gu Xiyan would pull Qi Maosheng and go to the glass greenhouse with him to pick vegetables, and then tell him what radish is, what cabbage is, and cabbage; In the afternoon, Qi Maosheng would take Gu Xiyan for a walk in the Xifang Pavilion and tell her about what he saw and heard in various places, folk customs, and his naughty longing when he grew up...... When Gu Xiyan was doing needlework, Qi Maosheng would tease her female red; When Qi Maosheng was making woodcarvings for children, Gu Xiyan would pick and choose his craftsmanship...... When two people are together, there are always endless things to say and do......
It feels like being in love.
At that moment, she really hoped that Qi Maosheng would not leave to accompany her......
In ancient times, the medical conditions were backward, and when she gave birth to a child, she would be afraid of stepping on the underworld with one foot in the underworld and the other in the yang. But she knew more in her heart that at the sensitive moment when several national governments were about to move, Qi Maosheng could not leave the forefront of the war.
Life is never perfect, and if this is the price she has to pay, then she is willing to exchange such separation for the peace of the husband and wife and the peace of the beautiful children......
