Chapter 227: Spring Birth and Autumn Killing (4)
Qi Maosheng, who happened to be back in the pear orchard, heard Gu Xiyan's words and stood outside the curtain.
Hongyu and Mo Ju, who were holding the account book, came in, and saw Qi Maosheng with his eyes closed, leaning against the pillar on the side with a painful face.
They exchanged glances.
Although everyone didn't mention the matter of the young lady's infertility, they all faintly knew it in their hearts.
Qi Maosheng heard light footsteps behind him, and after a while, he opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was Hongyu and Moju, he calmed his face and walked away quickly.
Both Hongyu and Mo Ju felt a little cold in their hearts.
Grandpa Guo has never treated his wife like this, but now, I'm afraid it's not what it used to be...
The two were stunned for a while, and Hongyu pulled Mo Ju out of the room, and whispered, "Don't say that the master came just now." β
Mo Ju nodded tearfully, and the two looked at each other's expressions again, revealing a sweet smile, and then they entered the curtain.
Duan Niang saw the two girls coming in, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Gu Xiyan raised her head and smiled at the two pretty girls who walked side by side.
Hongyu and Mo Ju saluted Duanniang, and then took off their shoes and went to the kang.
The three of them spread out the account books around the kang.
Since the end of last year, these girls can be regarded as a real internship, and then Gu Xiyan came back to hold a small meeting for everyone, summed up the shortcomings, and several girls have a bottom in their hearts and are more confident in doing things.
Ruby reported this month's accounts, and then said the budget for the next month.
Gu Xiyan was a little absent-minded, and when Hongyu talked about next month's budget, Gu Xiyan suddenly asked, "Mo Ju, what is the name of the young man surnamed Tian who sent you here last time, do you remember?" β
Gu Xi suddenly changed the subject. asked a question that made Mo Ju blush, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do you remember his name?" Gu Xiyan ignored everyone's expressions and asked again.
Mo Ju froze and said, "I don't know." I only know the surname Tian. It is the nephew of Lord Tianjing's family. As he spoke, his face turned red involuntarily.
Gu Xiyan looked at Mo Ju and smiled, and said, "I patronized myself and was sad, but I forgot about Mo Ju!" In the tone, there was infinite sighing.
Mo Ju was most afraid of Gu Xi's disheartened appearance, but now that she was interested in talking, she couldn't be ashamed, and said, "Madame asked why this is for?" β
Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Which of you goes to Qinyuan and tells the master." Said I wanted to meet the twelve young grandmothers of the Liu family! β
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with Gu Xiyan.
The news reached Qi Maosheng, and Qi Maosheng didn't care.
Maybe I want to ask the news of the Gu family.
During this time, the emperor was obedient to the imperial concubine Gu, and under the arrangement of the imperial concubine, Min Jie, who entered the palace with Jian Qing that year, is now six months pregnant, and she has also been awarded the title of Sanpin Jieyu. Mi Ji also often walks around to Gu's house. Whether it is Mrs. Gu or Gu Panxi, they are all safe and quiet, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Then send someone to pass it on." Qi Maosheng commanded casually. Then he turned his head and went to discuss with Mr. Ding about the grain army of the Yan army in Liangdi.
As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, and suddenly called Siping in: "You go to the pear orchard to have a look!" β
Siping got such an inexplicable order, but he still ran to the pear orchard.
Looks like everything is fine!
The maidservants did whatever they had to do, and the lady was sitting on the kang table embroidering, accompanied by Duan Niang, chatting with or without a match.
The little girls saw Siping and knew that it was the master who came to ask him for news, so they all gathered around and chattered: "Brother Siping." What did you ask you to ask! β
Siping touched his head with a smile and said, "Just let me see, what is Madame doing!" β
The little girls smiled and said, "Madame has been embroidering all day today!" β
Siping stood for a long time without thinking, and then returned to Qinyuan.
At noon, Mao Sheng stayed in Qinyuan for lunch, during which he asked Siping, "What did you say?" β
Siping said cautiously: "If you go back to your father, Mrs. will embroider on the kang all day long!" β
"Where's Aunt Duan?"
What did you say about "talking to you"? β
Siping recalled for a long time and said, "Seven, seven, eight, eight." The villain only remembers a few words piecemeal. β
"Tell me about it!"
"Yes." Siping tried his best to narrate without a point of view. Madame asked Aunt Duan if she liked Yongzhou. Aunt Duan said. It's the same everywhere. Mrs. asked Aunt Duan again, if you were to choose, would you like Yongzhou or Shuzhou. Duanniang thought for a while and said, I like Yongzhou. also said that there is no one in her hometown in Shuzhou, and a distant nephew and niece and daughter-in-law think about letting her make up a little bit every day, which is not interesting. The lady said that it was always good to have a junior to take care of her. He also said, otherwise, choose a favorite among this group of little girls, take it under your knees, and raise it in a few years, and then recruit a son-in-law for the little girl, and she will have a dependence in the future..."
When Siping said this, Qi Maosheng jumped up,
He threw away half of his meal and hurried to the pear orchard.
The pear orchard was quiet, and only the one named Yunshang stood under the eaves and served.
Usually Gu Xiyan smiled when he saw him, and hugged him regardless of etiquette, he thought that the fewer people the better, but when he saw it today, a fire rose in his heart.
Qi Maosheng's face turned pale, and he said sharply: "What about the people, where have they gone... The master hasn't rested yet, you've come to rest... Don't you want to live anymore..."The people of Liyuan are still angry when they see Qi Mao for the first time.
With a sharp gaze, a stiff look, and a cold temperament, the whole body exudes a murderous aura that makes people chill.
The rules of the pear orchard were set on the first day Gu Xiyan entered the garden. There was never a second voice. Now that Qi Maosheng yelled at him like this, everyone ran out tremblingly, standing at the corner gate or under the eaves, looking at each other. Donβt know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon.
Of course, Gu Xiyan also heard it, and hurriedly handed a look to Aunt Duan, and she put on her shoes and was about to go out to have a look.
"What's the matter..."Before Gu Xiyan's words were finished, Qi Maosheng immediately hugged her in his arms, and the hot kiss also fell densely: "Xiyan, Xiyan..."
While shouting Gu Xiyan's name, he began to rudely untie her lichen.
"Maosheng. What's wrong with you..."In a daze, Qi Maosheng had already thrown the disheveled Gu Xiyan onto the mat on the kang and began to take off his clothes.
Duan Niang let out an "oops" and hurriedly took out the people who were serving Gu Xiyan in the house.
In addition to the pain, it still hurts...
Gu Xiyan looked powerlessly at Qi Maosheng who was going in and out of his body.
What the hell is going on?
It's like I'm going to vent something on her... The corners of his eyes and brows were full of pain. But it's such a pain, how long can I feel it...
Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan burst into tears. Softly in his heart, he gently hugged Qi Maosheng.
Cold hands, gently caressing him...
Qi Maosheng suddenly came to his senses.
Looking at Gu Xiyan, who was smiling with tears, he buried his head in the black hair that exuded a faint pure fragrance as if evading: "Xiyan, don't go." Don't go anywhere... We'll have kids... There will definitely be children... Let's go to the Qixia Temple in Shengjing..."
Is it because of this?
Gu Xiyan was full of sorrow in her heart, hugged Qi Maosheng tightly, and responded softly, "Okay." β
From that day on, Qi Maosheng went to the pear orchard like an official business, and the two of them were crooked on the big kang near the window, Gu Xiyan embroidered, and Qi Maosheng read the official documents.
Sometimes, Qi Maosheng raised his head: "Isn't the embroidery good?" I'm going to practice again! β
Gu Xiyan smiled softly at him, thinking of Liu Mei'er.
She gave birth to a boy in Shengjing in June this year.
If you don't plug this into it, you will be born. I'm already a father!
Her heart was desolate, and the embroidery needle was pierced in her hand.
The fingertips, which were as white as jade, soon burst out a bead of blood.
"Why was it so careless!" Qi Maosheng, who was dual-minded, immediately discovered Gu Xiyan's situation, pulled her hand, and took the bloody fingertips in his mouth.
Feeling the warmth of his fingertips, Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng softly: "Maosheng, you come forward to talk to Tian Jing, I want to marry Mo Ju to his nephew named Tian Zhong."
Qi Maosheng's whole body stiffened.
"I inquired. He had previously ordered a doll pro. The woman passed away five years ago..."Gu Xiyan said with a smile, "I am twenty years old this year." Three years older than Mo Ju, although he is only a little Baichang, but at his age, it is also quite good..."
Two days ago, I asked the twelve young grandmothers of the Liu family to buy a three-entry green tile house in Yongzhou Crooked Neck Hutong, and today she said that she wanted to marry Mo Ju... What else do I want, what else do I want, seek medical advice for her, worship God and incense for her, and even decide to take a trip to Shengjing... But what about her? If you want to drink it, you can drink it, if you don't want to drink it, you don't drink it, ask for the auspicious charm, and throw it in the jade peach bonsai without looking at it, it is the jade peach bonsai given by Mrs. Wei, she moved to the mirror platform on the side under the excuse that it was too valuable...
Those unspeakable grievances turned into anger and floated on their faces.
With a "horn" of his palm, he slapped the kang table in his hand: "Gu Xiyan, you, you, you don't know what to do!" β
Patience, have you run out?
A faint smile appeared on Gu Xiyan's face, but there was a sharp insight in his eyes.
In such a gaze, Qi Maosheng suddenly gave birth to a few embarrassments.
He was so confused that he brushed his sleeves away.
Duanniang, who was already in the wind, had stood anxiously outside the house as early as when Qi Maosheng patted the table, and when he saw Qi Maosheng coming out, he hurriedly smiled and shouted "Master", Qi Maosheng didn't look at Duanniang, and strode out of the pear orchard.
Duan Niang hurriedly rushed to the back room.
There were messy pieces of paper flying around him, and there were cracked broken trees between the skirts, Gu Xiyan had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked calmly embroidered with flowers.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart!
Duan Niang only felt cold in her heart, she knelt on the edge of the kang and pulled Gu Xiyan's skirt and cried: "My good girl, if you have anything, just say it happily... I'd rather you make a fuss like the last time you drank flower wine for your lord, and I feel better! β
Gu Xiyan put down the embroidered bandage with a smile and said softly: "Auntie, everyone has a bottom line. Mine is to hope that when Mau Sheng is with me, there will be no other woman; If you give birth to a son, you will take a concubine if you can't give birth to a son... What else is there to say, what is there to make a fuss about... It's just that I don't give up, I always want to stay by his side for a while, and in the future, I just want to see it, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity..."
"No, no," Duan Niang shook her head in horror, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Even if the master has a concubine in the future, you are also an upright wife, no, no..."
Gu Xiyan smiled faintly, lowered her head and continued to embroider her flowers, her eyes were extremely serious and pious!
Qi Maosheng rode a horse and galloped on the streets of Yongzhou, seeing the panicked crowd and the passing streetscape, but the anger in his heart seemed to be condensed into a ball and could not be dispersed.
Xiyan, how can you be like this... I don't even want to fight for it... It makes me sad more than not having children, you know... Did You Know... Remember the permanent address of Q Pig Literature Station: for easy reading next time!
