Qi Maosheng looked a little unnatural, and said: "Xiyan, Hongluan and other girls, well, a little different......"

This Gu Xiyan had already been mentally prepared.

Growing up in that environment, you can expect her to be normal. However, what kind of difference can make Mao Sheng say "different" in his mouth?

Is it too naughty?

Or is it very resistant to Qi Maosheng's remarriage?

Looking at Qi Maosheng, who was spitting and spitting, Gu Xiyan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

She thought of the troubled girls who deliberately made it difficult for their stepmothers because they opposed their father's remarriage.

But of course, when she chose Qi Maosheng, she knew that he had a daughter!

So Gu Xiyan still forced himself to show a confident smile: "Maosheng, don't worry. Have you ever heard the story of Aiwu and Wu? She told him the story of this idiom, and finally said: "Don't worry, as long as I think of how good you are to me, I will also feel sorry for her!" ”

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan's pretending to be determined, sincere eyes, and was slightly stunned for a while, and then sighed and touched Gu Xiyan's head: "Sometimes, do I think you are too small!" ”

Gu Xiyan didn't like the dull atmosphere between them, so she threw herself into Qi Maosheng's arms with a smile, hugged his waist and said, "If I can be Qi Maosheng's little girl for the rest of my life, how good it would be!" ”

Qi Maosheng really hugged her like a child and patted her, and said, "Okay, I'll treat you as a little girl for the rest of my life!" ”

Gu Xiyan grinned a little happily in his arms.

Qi Maosheng's chin was pressed against the top of Gu Xiyan's head, and he said abruptly: "When her mother gave birth to her, it was a difficult birth, and she has been in poor health, she can't stand it if it's too hot, and she can't stand it if it's too cold. The four seasons of Chunkuo are like spring, and Aunt Gao lives in Chunli, which is less than a hundred miles away, and I was going to let Ye Zisu take her to Chunkuo to live for a while...... Just when she gave birth. The body was also damaged, and even the child couldn't breastfeed, so he was entrusted to Mrs. Xu to take care of it, and he couldn't go all the way to the spring...... At first, I didn't pay attention at all, and when Hongluan reached the age of three or four, I realized that she couldn't walk......"

"You just found out she can't walk?" Gu Xiyan sat up straight in Qi Maosheng's arms in surprise. = Junzitang starter = and his eyes are opposite.

"Hmm." Qi Maosheng's eyes were gloomy, "When she is old enough to leave, she still lies in Zhenniang's arms all day long, I have also asked, but Ye Zisu said that children are like this, she is a mother, so she naturally understands these ...... better than me."

Gu Xiyan thought of the posture of Zhenniang holding the child that day: "Is there a problem with your legs and you can't walk?" Or is it simply unwilling to walk? ”

Qi Maosheng smiled bitterly: "There must be no problem with the leg, I specially invited an old lady doctor who had been in the imperial hospital from Xizhao, and he also said that there was no problem...... But he just doesn't walk. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

Qi Maosheng's face was a little unnatural: "I was also suspicious at the beginning...... He put her on the kang all day, and no one was allowed to serve her...... Kangtou is what you eat...... But when she was hungry, she only looked at and cried, and she couldn't even urinate ......."

"How so?"

Qi Mao's face was very embarrassed: "Not only do you not walk. She didn't speak anymore! ”

"Don't speak!"

Accidents one after another, Gu Xiyan opened his mouth in surprise.

No wonder, Liu Mei'er said that she had never seen Qi Hongluan.

"Hmm." Qi Maosheng's eyes flashed with pain, "Especially when she saw me, she hid in Zhenniang's arms, Zhenniang said that she was afraid of me...... I've tried to be as kind to her as I can, but it's still useless. I don't know what to do, I just try not to see ......"

"Maosheng!" Gu Xiyan held Qi Maosheng's hand painfully: "Hongluan didn't talk to you because you forced her to walk, or didn't talk to anyone?" ”

Qi Maosheng lowered his head and looked at Gu Xiyan holding his white and tender little hand. I feel better. He whispered, "It seems that I used to speak." I remember when she was a kid she called my daddy, ever since I forced her to walk. She didn't talk anymore, not only didn't she talk to me, but she didn't talk to her anymore! ”

Gu Xiyan raised a question that ordinary people would think of: "Could it be that something happened?" ”

Qi Maosheng understood the meaning of Gu Xiyan's words, and said softly: "Since I found out that she didn't walk, I arranged someone around Hongluan. \\\\\\ didn't know what happened before. At least nothing out of the ordinary for now......"

Gu Xiyan thought of Mama Jin and said, "Is it Mama Jin?" ”

Qi Maosheng said: "She was clearly arranged by me, and everyone knows it." I also installed a grandmother surnamed Lei in her house. She is the daughter of Mrs. Wei's nursing brother, and she is very loyal and trustworthy. Moreover, she has Zhenniang by her side to take care of ......"

Gu Xiyan thought of that pair of smart eyes.

She couldn't help pouting: "Zhenniang, who is she?" ”

"Her name is Liu Zhenhui. The girl of the Liu family in Nanxi, Ningzhou, Guannei County. When he was five years old, he was sent to the Red Sleeve Academy in Jiangnan to study, and he was proficient in poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting. When she returned to Yandi at the age of fourteen, she was already a famous talented woman. She was engaged to the eldest son of the Wang family in Dingzhou, Kanto County since she was a child, and when she was sixteen years old, the prince of the Wang family died of illness, and the Wang and Liu families both let her remarry. The old lady of the Wang family is a girl from the Wei family, and she pities that she has to be widowed at a young age, and in the year 296 of Xizhao, she personally brought Zhenniang to visit Mrs. Wei, and wanted the Qi Mansion to come forward to protect her to Xizhao as a female official. Later, she and Ye Zisu hit it off at first sight, so they stayed behind to be Hongluan's adoptive mother......"

Gu Xiyan's eyes rolled: "Speaking of which, all these years, thanks to her!" ”

Qi Maosheng smiled bitterly: "It's not just her, but the people around Hongluan are uncomfortable. I don't know why, Qi Maosheng's answer made her very dissatisfied.

She pouted, and wanted to ask Zhen Niang carefully, but Qi Maosheng said with a painful expression: "I also know that I want to walk in front of Hongluan...... Therefore, after returning from Shengjing, I also discussed Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wei for this matter. ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be embarrassed.

When is this all the time, I still think about it!

Mao's worries are quite justified, after all. No one can live in place of her!

Gu Xiyan said hurriedly: "Then what do they say?" ”

Mrs. Xu meant to marry her to the Wei family in Dongxi. said that after all, it was my mother family, and no matter what, it would also look at the three thin lands of the family......"

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised. She thought she was discussing how to help Hongluan live independently, but she didn't expect to discuss what kind of family she would marry Hongluan. However, it is quite surprising that Mrs. Xu would propose to marry Hongluan to the Wei family.

She couldn't help asking, "What does Mrs. Wei mean?" ”

Qi Maosheng smiled bitterly: "What does Mrs. Wei mean." I want to ask for the grace of Xizhao and give Hongluan to Wu Qi, the Duke of Jin......"

"Ah, why?" Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng with a solemn expression.

Qi Maosheng whispered: "Our two families have made a covenant...... And Mrs. Wei has seen all the boys of the Wei family up and down the appropriate age, and none of them satisfied her! ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Wei family doesn't have qualified boys, but if you marry into the Jin State Mansion, although it is a marriage given by the emperor, it is also a century-old valve over there, and the personnel are complicated, if it is ...... We're beyond our reach! ”

"I also know that neither is suitable. But I don't have time to care about this matter......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyan with burning eyes: "Xiyan, it's better to leave this matter to you!" You are her mother now, help take a look, choose a suitable one for her in the Yandi valve, if not, only those who are innocent, have good character, and can get by with good looks......"

"Me!" Gu Xiyan pointed to his nose. "Let me choose for her?"

Qi Maosheng nodded, as if he had suddenly found a solution to his illness, and said with excitement on his face: "Yes." You help her choose a family business. ”

Gu Xiyan suddenly understood why her stepmother was reluctant to sign her consent to surgery.

This is a major marriage event, even free love, there will be changes, not to mention an arranged marriage, and Hongluan was still born in such a prominent family, who dares to guarantee that the person who proposes marriage does not have ulterior motives......

She felt her sideburns slightly wet.

It turned out that one day. I'm going to be in the same situation!

Qi Maosheng showed a teasing smile in his eyes: "Look, aren't you quite discerning in choosing a husband?" ”

"you!" Gu Xiyan was amused, "I like to step on me to find confidence!" ”

"And I will hand over Hongluan to you to raise," Qi Maosheng muttered, "and you can also prevent Mrs. Xu from asking for money from my lion." A large part of the account expenses on the side of Dexin Yuan are Hongluan's expenses...... Medical expenses alone cost more than 15,000 taels last year......"

Of course, there is one more point that Qi Maosheng did not say.

He hopes that Hongluan can grow up by Xiyan's side. Influenced by the sunset. Like her, she is healthy, happy, intelligent, and has a caring heart.

Gu Xiyan heard Qi Maosheng settle accounts. said very fairly: "If it involves medical expenses, it is not impossible to spend 10,000 taels of silver a year." ”

Qi Maosheng smiled bitterly: "If this money is really spent on Hongluan's body, what do I have to worry about, I'm afraid I am only afraid...... The money was spent, but the land was not used......"

Gu Xiyan also smiled bitterly.

These two things are the same thing.

Taking Hongluan to Songzhen Yuan to take care of it, and then pulling out the expenses of Dexin Yuan for Hongluan to Songzhen Yuan, can not only deepen the relationship between herself and Hongluan, but also make Mrs. Xu have no excuse to ask Qi Maosheng for money, so as to achieve Qi Maosheng's goal of reducing the expenses of Dexin Yuan. Moreover, if Mrs. Xu's hands are not active, of course, the days will not be so moisturized, and maybe they will stop because of this.

In any case, it was originally her responsibility to take care of Hongluan, but Qi Maosheng proposed this condition for choosing a son-in-law...... Gu Xiyan was really not sure that he could handle this matter well.

She couldn't help but show a few hesitations in her demeanor, and Qi Maosheng looked at her apologetically.

Looking at Mao Sheng with an embarrassed face, Gu Xiyan remembered the tenderness and sweetness between the two, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, her mind was hot, and she said arrogantly: "Don't worry, Mao Sheng, I will definitely take good care of Hongluan." As soon as the words fell, she was a little weak-hearted, so she smiled at Qi Maosheng with little confidence, and said, "Let's come one by one, let's solve the matter of Hongluan first, and then discuss whether to take care of the house!" ”

Xiyan, I'm worried that I can't do it well!

Despite this, she is willing to embarrass herself and refuse herself!

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but hug her dotingly, and said, "Don't worry, I know this matter in my heart, and I will arrange a competent grandmother to help you when the time comes!" ”
