Chapter 183: Vulgarity and Light (5)

Hongluan's breakfast is a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and Gardenia's breakfast is a bowl of porridge, two steamed buns, and a plate of pickles. yUХNGΕcо Hongluan eats awkwardly, and gardenias eat with relish.

Zhen Niang saw Gu Xiyan looking at Gardenia and explained: "Gardenia is an orphan I picked up from outside, I have suffered, I know gratitude, and I am very smart, I asked her to accompany Hongluan...... With a child of the same age, it is always a bit more lively. ”

Gu Xiyan nodded, and said to Gardenia with a smile: "Good boy, you have to treat our family's Hongluan like a sister!" As soon as the words fell, she couldn't help but be secretly shocked, how could her hypocritical tone sound so much like Mrs. Xu!

Gardenia is a child after all, seeing the noble lady showing such a sweet smile, and talking to herself so kindly, she hurriedly said: "Madame, don't worry, I will definitely serve the third girl as my master, and I will be very good to her." ”

Gu Xiyan touched Gardenia's head as if rewarding.

Zhen Niang also looked very happy: "Speaking of which, thanks to Gardenia." Although he is young, he can take the trouble to accompany Hongluan...... I don't know what to do without her......" As soon as she said a few words, Hongluan, who was sitting in her arms, began to cry.

Zhen Niang hurriedly put down the bowl to coax Hongluan, and held her like a baby and paced around the room.

Gu Xiyan looked at Hongluan with concern.

That child, howling, no tears!

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, so he hugged the gardenia and said with a smile: "Our gardenia is really a lovely child!" No one can compare! ”

Zhen Niang entertained Gu Xiyan and said, "Yes, yes, I haven't seen a more caring child than Gardenia!" ”

Sure enough, Hongluan cried even more. And he also kicked the virgin with his legs.

Zhenniang was a little embarrassed, and kept gently patting Hongluan's back and coaxing her.

Gardenia was hugged by Gu Xiyan. Everyone stammered: "Husband, madam, I, I'm not as good as the third girl, but the third girl is good......"

"Oh!" Gu Xiyan looked at Gardenia with suspicion.

Gardenia felt what Gu Xiyan meant, her face turned red, and she said loudly as if to prove something: "Third girl." The three girls can do arithmetic ......"

"I know how to do arithmetic!" Gu Xiyan's dark eyes shone brightly, and he smiled: "Then will you?" ”

"Little kid, what do you know?" Zhenniang, who coaxed Qi Hongluan, showed a reluctant smile in her hurry, and interrupted Gardenia's words: "It's just that I taught Hongluan to count when I'm free...... What can it be called arithmetic......

Gu Xiyan laughed: "Being able to count is also very remarkable for a child...... Is it, Gardenia? ”

Gardenia's eyes showed confusion, and she wanted to say something, but Zhenniang had already turned her head and glared at her.

Gu Xiyan felt that today's harvest was already great. He turned his head and told Zhenniang with a smile about his intentions.

Zhen Niang listened carefully while pacing and coaxing Qi Hongluan, and finally smiled: "Ever since my wife took me to Wanqingxuan to see it, I have always wanted to move. It's just that everyone is busy during this time, and it's not easy to take the initiative to mention it. ”

Neither of them mentioned Mama Jin, and after discussing a few details of the move, Zhenniang called a mama surnamed Bai in and asked her to inform the people of Qiaoyuan to start moving.

There are a lot of things in Hongluan, but Zhenniang is well arranged. What to move first, what to move later, who is responsible for which piece, and what to do. They were all written clearly in a piece of paper and distributed to everyone. She herself always held Hongluan, urging the servants to move things like a commander-in-chief.

At first glance, you can see that it is not a temporary decision.

Gu Xiyan was also on the side to help.

said that it was to help, but in fact, he sat and drank a cup of tea in Qiaoyuan, and then went to the house called Xiaoyue in Wanqingxuan.

The rooms in Wanqingxuan are very small, and Xiaoyue is no exception, with a small living room, a small bedroom, a small study, a small hugging house and a warm pavilion. Although it is small, it is also complete and exquisite, but compared to the Qiaoyuan where Qi Hongluan lived first, it seems much more frugal and a little cramped.

Zhen Niang explained: "This house is small and compact, just right for Hongluan...... When the house is large, it is empty and deserted...... Children are afraid of ......"

Gu Xiyan drank tea leisurely and said with a smile: "It's good if you are satisfied!" ”

Zhen Niang kept holding Qi Hongluan, her forehead was full of sweat, so she glanced at Gu Xiyan as if asking for help.

Gu Xiyan looked left and right, pretending not to see it, and said, "Look, are you partnering in the small kitchen of Songzhen Courtyard, or are you picking up in the small kitchen of Liyuan!" ”

It is estimated that Zhen Niang was really hard to hug Hongluan, so she sat on the Taishi chair opposite Gu Xiyan, put Hongluan on her lap, and said with a smile: "It would be best if you could start a gang in Wanqing Xuan...... Hongluan doesn't eat a lot of things, and sometimes I want to make some for her, but there is no place! ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "I heard the master talk about it before, saying that Zhenniang is a famous talented girl in Yandi, but I didn't expect that she is also good at cooking......"

Zhen Niang smiled modestly: "It's just to make something for the children to eat, and the rest, I don't dare to show my hand." ”

Gu Xiyan muttered: "It's just that there is no open fire in Songzhen Courtyard, and charcoal is used to boil water for cooking on weekdays...... It's better to wait for me to discuss the master in the evening, and then give you a reply, you see how it goes. ”

Zhen Niang was stunned and said, "In the third girl's house, isn't there an expense of six hundred taels of silver every month?" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Zhen Niang has never been a house!" ”

Zhen Niang's face was a little unnatural, and she said, "When I was in my mother's house, my mother also taught me. ”

Gu Xiyan reported to her the accounts of Qi Hongluan in Dexin Courtyard last year, and finally said: "Here, firewood, rice, oil and salt are not in the account, if Wanqingxuan wants to start a fire, you have to go from the accounts of the pear orchard, I have just taken over, the pear orchard is in the Songzhen Courtyard, how much does it cost every month in the Songzhen Courtyard, and how much is it used." I really don't know the bottom of my heart! ”

Zhen Niang smiled reluctantly and said, "Since this is the case, let's wait for Mrs. to discuss it!" ”

Gu Xiyan chatted with her again. Seeing that it was not early, he stood up: "It looks like it's time for dinner, I still have to go to Mrs. Xu's side to have a look, there is Lao Zhenniang here." ”

Zhenniang hurriedly hugged Hongluan and got up to see off the guests.

When the two of them came out of Wanqingxuan, Zhenniang smiled and asked Qi Hongluan to wave goodbye to Gu Xiyan, Qi Hongluan buried in her arms and didn't look up, Gu Xiyan smiled: "Don't toss the child." She can do whatever she wants! Let's not worry about it. After speaking, in Zhen Niang's surprised gaze, he and Duan Yingluo went to Xianji Courtyard.

On the way, Duan Yingluo said: "The girl is really, take this opportunity to help Zhenniang hug the child, first, you can get closer to each other, and secondly, you can also get close to the child, you are good, just watch the Zhenniang sweating!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled disappreciatively and said, "You think that children grow up in one day!" ”

Duan Yingluo didn't understand.

Gu Xiyan snorted coldly. "Isn't she going to show her motherly feelings in front of me?" Why did he hug Qi Hongluan for less than an hour, and he began to change his left hand to his right hand, and his right hand to his left hand...... Is that the one who often holds the child? Duan Yingluo's eyebrows were raised, and she wanted to braided a few sentences for Zhen Niang, but after thinking about it, she remembered how Gu Xiyan saw through her deception. I shut up a little dumbfounded.

Gu Xiyan went to Xianji Courtyard with a fire in her belly, Mrs. Xu was happily sitting on the kang with Fang Shaoqin to eat, seeing Gu Xiyan coming in, Fang Shaoqin hurriedly got off the kang and saluted Gu Xiyan, Gu Xiyan bent her knees and saluted Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu smiled: "You came just in time, did you eat, if you didn't eat, eat with us!" ”

Gu Xiyan hurriedly smiled: "I have been busy in Wanqingxuan until now. I was in a hurry to serve your dinner, but I didn't expect it to be late. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "It's not too late. ”

She was not invited to sit on the kang.

Gu Xiyan stood aside and cooked for Mrs. Xu.

Fang Shaoqin is not sitting, nor is he standing.

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "You are a junior, just accompany your grandmother to be happy, I am also happy when I see it." Hurry up and go to the kang. ”

Fang Shaoqin heard Gu Xiyan say this. His face became a little uncomfortable. Whispered "Grandmother".

Mrs. Xu seemed to have just woken up at this time, and there were two apologies on her face. said: "Xiyan, speaking of which, Maosheng will leave tomorrow, here, don't serve it, go to Maosheng's side to have a look!" ”

Gu Xiyan was not polite to her, bent her knees and saluted, and said, "Since my mother has ordered it, the daughter-in-law will choose to retire." Shaoqin, you have to help me to the end, and accompany my grandmother well. ”

Fang Shaoqin hurriedly responded, and was about to get up to send Gu Xiyan out, but Mrs. Xu said, "Sit down, sit down, the joke you just said hasn't finished yet......

Gu Xiyan walked out quickly to Songzhen Courtyard amid the sound of the two of them talking.

Duan Yingluo said with a little emotion: "No wonder few of our Shuramen women get married...... Looking at this formation, ordinary people really can't stand it! ”

Gu Xiyan didn't speak, turned around and pulled Duan Yingluo: "Is my face good!" ”

Duan Yingluo took advantage of the glow to carefully look at Gu Xiyan a few times, and said suspiciously: "It's good, it's red, what's wrong?" ”

Gu Xiyan stepped on his feet: "Is there any way to make my face look a little pale!" ”

"What are you going to do!" Duan Yingluo was puzzled.

"I helped Qi Hongluan move home for a day today, set up rules in front of Mrs. Xu for another day, and served Fang Shaoqin, and finally went back to the pear orchard hungry," Gu Xiyan's eyes flickered, "It's always a little tired!" ”

Duan Yingluo suddenly realized, pointed at Gu Xiyan and said, "You, you...... Are you going to lie to Qi Hao? ”

Gu Xiyan pulled her sleeve: "What deceived Qi Hao, am I cheating?" Which of the things I am talking about is not true......"

Duan Yingluo looked at Gu Xiyan's serious face, couldn't help laughing, and covered her mouth and laughed.

Gu Xiyan turned Duan Yingluo with his elbow: "Is there any?" Duan Yingluo bent over and laughed for a while, before panting and said, "Yes, yes, yes, if you let me slap it, I guess my face will be a little pale!" ”

Gu Xiyan glared at her: "I'm serious with you...... Look at Siping, what do you want......" Speaking of this, her eyes rolled, "Why don't I wait for you here, you quietly go to Siping and let him find a way to ......"

Duan Yingluo's eyes widened: "You're not afraid of him telling Qi Hao!" ”

Gu Xiyan said disappreciably: "What do you know...... Don't hide it, as long as I gain power for a day, Siping won't squeak, one day he squeaks, it is estimated that Qi Maosheng and I will come to an end, what is there to be afraid of...... It would be nice to have a bottle of Yanyan, which can make the face a little yellow......"

Duan Yingluo couldn't help but shake her head and said with a smile: "I have a bottle of primer for disguise in my baggage, apply a little on my face, I am not a master of disguise, I can't usually see it, what do you think?" ”

"If you look under the lamp, it's even more invisible!" Gu Xiyan pulled a little bit and left: "Then what are you waiting for!" ”
