Chapter 116: The Mansion of the Yan Kingdom (II)

Chapter 116: Yanguo Mansion (II)

Inside the Gongshun Courtyard, it is a courtyard house connected by a long winding alley. ΧaΕ·cм

They followed the fragrance of water through the long alley with high walls, along the way, the eyes were full of high walls with pink walls and blue tiles, each wall and alley seemed to be similar, if Gu Xiyan was asked to go to Xianji Courtyard now, she was really not sure that she could find a way back.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, they stopped in front of a two-step hanging flower gate, and a small gilt plaque about eight inches long and five inches wide was erected next to the door, which read "Huaiyuan".

It's finally here!

Gu Xiyan could clearly feel that Liu Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Shui Xiang stepped forward and knocked on the door, a woman in her thirties came to answer the door, and when she saw Liu Mei'er, she was obviously stunned. Shui Xiang was already laughing on the side: "Bao Niang, look, who came to see Mrs. Wei!" ”

The woman smiled: "It turned out to be Miss Liu, please come in, please come in!" It's a pity that the smile is only on the lips, not in the eyes, and it looks a little far-fetched.

Shui Xiang smiled and said, "Bao Niang, you have a distinguished guest here, so I won't bother." Then I'll go first. ”

Bao Niang didn't leave the fragrance of water, and smiled enthusiastically: "I know that Miss Shuixiang is an indispensable person in front of Mama Wang, so I won't keep the girl, the girl will go slowly!" ”

Shui Xiang exchanged a few more words with Liu Mei'er, and then Shi Shiran left Huaiyuan.

Several people watched Shui Xiang's figure disappear around the corner of the long alley, and Bao Niang smiled and beckoned everyone into Huaiyuan.

It's the same as all the quadrangles. As soon as you enter the Huaiyuan, the first thing you see is the pink and white wall shadow, bypassing the wall shadow, opposite is the main house of five rooms, and on both sides are three side rooms. On both sides of the steps of the main house are planted two trees taller than the eaves, bright red floor-to-ceiling pillars, doors and windows, and goose-yellow curtains hanging on the transparent glass windows. The whole atmosphere is fresh and elegant.

The courtyard was quiet, and there was no maid-in-law in front of the main house, so Bao Niang took them in and walked into the main house. Liu Mei'er led them to stand respectfully in front of the scarlet velvet curtain in front of the door of the main house.

Soon, Bao Niang lifted the curtain and beckoned to them.

Several mermaids entered the main house, and the atmosphere of luxury and luxury came to the face.

The scarlet carpet of peonies blooms, and the pineapple furniture with a moist color. Glass chandeliers with streamers, coral bonsai of equal height, and self-striking bells...... Before Gu Xiyan could see it, Liu Mei'er and Bao Niang had already entered the inner room on the side, and Gu Xiyan hurriedly followed in.

Liu Mei'er, who went in first, was already kneeling on the side of the big kang near the window: "Auntie, my niece Mei'er has asked you to say goodbye." ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned as soon as he looked at it.

Mrs. Wei on the big kang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a plump figure. Bright as a blooming peony flower.

If she didn't know Qi Maosheng's age, she would have thought that Mrs. Wei would not be more than thirty years old.

Mrs. Wei's gaze was as tender as water, and the warmth fell on Gu Xiyan's body like a spring sun.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and knelt in front of the big kang with his head bowed and lowered his eyes like Liu Mei'er.

The room was silent, and only the ticking of the hour hand could be heard in the living room.

"How old are you today?" The voice was low and hoarse with laziness, which reminded Gu Xiyan of coffee, poppies and other things that he knew were harmful to his body but couldn't resist.

A little chill crept up her spine.

Liu Mei'er hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Gu Xiyan's clothes, who were standing aside in a daze. whispered: "Quick, what is my aunt asking you?" ”

Gu Xiyan froze, and his tone was cautious: "Mrs. Hui, I am fourteen years old this year. "The voice is sweet and glutinous, and it seems very gentle.

"Fourteen? When is your birthday? There was a hint of urgency in Mrs. Wei's voice

"October 10th." Gu Xiyan replied, but there was a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Mrs. Wei was stunned. Asked in detail: "Fourteen years old." Is it a virtual age or a year old? ”

Gu Xiyan paused, but still decided to answer truthfully: "October 10 is fourteen years old. ”

"It's one year old!" There was a hint of satisfaction in Mrs. Wei's voice. "I'm going to have to make up for you!"

And the ceremony? The ancient people seemed to be very particular about this. For example, if a woman marries, it is okay to marry her......

Gu Xiyan felt that her sideburns were sweating, and she hurriedly said: "Don't dare to work Mrs. ......"

Madame Wei smiled, and in an instant burst out with a scorching light like the sun, as if it had illuminated the room.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm old, and I don't have juniors around me, I like you guys to come to see me the most!"

Listen to that...... Why is it a little unsettling?

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but raise her head.

When Liu Mei'er heard this, she saw Mrs. Wei's face full of smiles, and her heart that had been hanging was a little relieved. She saw Gu Xiyan raise her head suddenly, a trace of unnaturalness flashed on her face, thinking that Mrs. Wei had not raised the question of Gu Xiyan's whereabouts since she entered the door, and thought that she was embarrassed to take the initiative to bring up this topic.

She coughed lightly and whispered, "Auntie, this is Gu Xiyan Gu, and my mother is also a girl from our Wei family......"

"Your cousin has written to tell me." Mrs. Wei showed a gentle smile, "Miss Gu, you can rest assured, you can stay with me for the time being." ”

Stay for now!

Gu Xiyan was still relieved when she heard this.

If Mrs. Wei didn't keep her, then she would have to go to Yongzhou to live temporarily and use the savings hidden in the dirty clothes. As the saying goes, it's empty to sit and eat. Now they don't have any income, so it's better to save a little bit......

The thought also flashed, and Gu Xiyan had already bent his knees to salute and thank Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Wei glanced at Gu Xiyan deeply, turned her head and instructed Bao Niang: "Let Qin Niang wait for Miss Gu to rest temporarily by the West Wing." ”

Bao Niang replied "yes" very respectfully.

Gu Xiyan felt a little surprised.

I didn't expect Mrs. Wei to end the first meeting between the two so quickly. She originally thought that Mrs. Wei would interrogate her properly, and along the way, she and Duan Yingluo also made a lot of preparations for this.

Mrs. Wei didn't ask, and Gu Xiyan was naturally happy not to answer, after all, if you say too much, you will lose!

The two saluted Mrs. Wei. followed Bao Niang out of the door.

Mrs. Wei turned around and opened the curtain by the window, and saw Gu Xiyan follow Bao Niang into the west wing, the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Now you tell me about it." What's going on? ”

There are only Liu Meier and Qiu Gui left in the room, Qiu Gui is a girl, let alone in front of Mrs. Wei, even in front of Mrs. Liu, she has no part to speak, this. Naturally, Liu Meier had to answer.

Liu Mei'er's body trembled, and she said embarrassedly: "...... Auntie, I did as you commanded. Father...... He saw me on the third day...... Said he didn't like ...... "His face was already flushed."

Mrs. Wei turned her head suddenly, and a cold light like frost flashed between her bright eyebrows: "I don't like ......"

Liu Mei'er's head was lowered to her chest, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Yes!" ”

Mrs. Wei bent the corners of her mouth coldly, and there was a hint of mockery between her eyebrows: "I have wronged you." Let's go back to the house and rest! ”

What does Qi Hao's lack of heirs mean to the Wei family or even the Liu family, and what does it mean to the power structure of Yandi, a girl like Liu Mei'er who grew up in a wealthy family of a century-old scholar family knows a little bit more or less.

She looked at Mrs. Wei's bright face and thought of her aunt's kindness to her on weekdays. She felt guilty in her heart, and tears fell down her cheeks, she lay down on the kang and cried whining: "Auntie, it's all my bad ......."

Mrs. Wei's expression became even colder when she saw Liu Mei'er, and she glanced at Qiu Gui sharply: "Hurry up and help your girl go back to the house!" ”

Qiu Gui shuddered at that gaze. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Mei'er. Liu Mei'er sobbed and saluted Mrs. Wei, and then went out with Qiu Gui.

Mrs. Wei sat there with a blank face, the corner of her eye swept over the mirror-smooth gold bricks in front of the kang.

There are small fragments of bright and dazzling light that appear and disappear on it.

She looked up.

It turned out to be a carved lacquer begonia-style potted jade peach bonsai on the Bogu shelf on the side.

A light faintly shone on its jadeite leaves, refracting into a bright and dazzling light that fell on the ground.

It was given to him by Qi Yu.

She still remembers that three pots of stone bonsai were sent from Xizhao at that time. The other two pots are the inlaid Langling fancy pot, the jade hibiscus bonsai and the clear jade wash pot, the narcissus bonsai. That pot of hibiscus bonsai was embedded with Xu Rong's name, so Qi Yu gave it to Xu Rong, another pot of narcissus bonsai. gave it to Su Wan, at that time, she was pregnant with Qi Hao, Su Wan was pregnant with Qi Han, and Zhou Hongyan was pregnant with Qi Xiao...... That day was also such an afternoon, he was sitting in front of the kang to make small clothes for Qi Hao, Qi Yu came, personally put the jade peach bonsai on the Bogu shelf, with a smile full of ambition on his face: "The peach is dying, scorching its glory." Zhengrong, this pot of jade peaches, give it to you, I can count on you to spread the branches for our family......"

That was a long time ago.

It's just that I don't know what Qi Yu said to her when he gave Su Wan Narcissus Bonsai.

and that bonsai, was it put away by Xu Rong in the warehouse or is it still on the Bogu shelf in Guiyuan......

When Qin Niang came in, Mrs. Wei was staring blankly at Bo Gujia.

She knew that Mrs. Wei was looking at the carved lacquered begonia-style bonsai with jade peach.

It seems that since she knew that Grandpa Guo was unwilling to get close to other women, Mrs. Wei began to often look at the jade peach bonsai on the Bogu shelf in a daze.

Thinking of this, she was shocked and remembered what Mrs. Wei had ordered two days ago.

She weighted her feet on the ground, and the sound of "Huo Huo" feet rubbing the ground sounded in the room, which was very loud in the silent room, and successfully attracted Mrs. Wei's attention.

Qin Niang smiled and shouted "Madam". Mrs. Wei raised her chin lightly, nodded, and her expression was delicate and bright.
