Chapter 158: Newlywed Yan'er (1)

At noon, they ate hot pot, stewed roe deer meat in broth, tender and delicious, two vegetarian dishes, stir-fried bean sprouts and mixed kelp shreds, two meat vegetables, fried sparrows and duck meat in sauce.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but wonder: "Are there any sparrows to eat this season?" ”

Bucai's Hongyu smiled: "Although it is rare, it is not nothing. I'm afraid that my wife will eat tender cucumbers this season, but it really can't be changed! ”

Gu Xiyan thought of that very typical joke, saying that seasonal dishes were never cooked in the imperial kitchen, and he was afraid that the emperor would remember it when he ate it...... She couldn't help but laugh.

For lunch, Gu Xiyan drank a small cup of soup and barely ate a fried sparrow.

The incense that Qi Maosheng ordered yesterday, just as Mama Zhao said, was for those disobedient ladies, where did Qi Maosheng know how powerful it was. Last night, Gu Xiyan slept for a while and shouted thirsty, fed her water to drink, but she didn't drink it, Qi Mao was anxious, poured a little tea into it, and Gu Xiyan immediately vomited out. Qi Maosheng is also a person who has never served anyone, so he is naturally in a hurry, and finally called Mama Zhao to come and ate her special Huo Xiang pills, and in the second half of the night, Gu Xiyan gave birth to a little peace, and he took a nap with her.

Seeing her like this now, she called Xia Qing beside her: "You go and call Mama Zhao, just say that your wife is uncomfortable!" ”

Gu Xiyan also felt that his appearance was abnormal, but he still said, "Wait a minute, I'll invite you when you eat." At this time, everyone is eating! ”

Qi Mao was about to say something, but saw Duan Yingluo poking his head out quickly in the outer room.

Although Duan Yingluo said to the outside world, she was Gu Xiyan's maidservant. But in Qi Maosheng's heart, she was equivalent to Gu Xiyan's bodyguard, so when he saw her make this kind of probe-like action, he thought she had something special, so he couldn't help but say loudly: "Miss Duan, but what's the matter?" ”

Duan Yingluo was called by Qi Maosheng, so it was naturally difficult to hide anymore. She walked in and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Grandpa Guo." It's not a big deal, I'll tell Miss Gu the same later! ”

Gu Xiyan was strange, she didn't see Duan Yingluo early this morning, and as soon as she appeared, she said that she was looking for something for herself......

Thinking about it, she couldn't sit still, and she ignored Qi Maosheng's stopping. pulled a piece of the tassel to the outside room, and whispered: "Is there anything inconvenient to say in front of Mao Sheng?" ”

Duan Yingluo didn't expect the two of them to move so much, so she had to say in a sneering voice: "No, it was I who went around the mansion and found that there was a five-wing open building next door to us, I want to talk to Grandpa Guo and ask him to temporarily pull out that place for me to make a quiet room...... I didn't expect Mrs. Wei to be able to practice our Shuramen's moxibustion and yang technique as a woman, and I want to try it too. How far can I go......

"That's it?" Gu Xiyan's eyes widened.

Duan Yingluo smiled apologetically.

Gu Xiyan went back to discuss Qi Maosheng.

Qi Maosheng thought for a while and said, "That was my retreat room, since she also wants to use it, let's discuss a time!" I go from five to six in the morning to see which time slot she uses! ”

Gu Xiyan ran to the outer room again to discuss Duan Yingluo.

Duan Yingluo smiled: "Since that's the case, then give me the rest of the time!" ”

Gu Xiyan turned around and said to Qi Maosheng again.

Qi Maosheng was not happy. Said: "Then what did I invite her to do?" ”

In fact, the two of them are both practitioners, deaf and clear-sighted, separated by a curtain, how can they hear clearly, it is Gu Xiyan who is afraid that Qi Maosheng will directly refuse Duan Yingluo and let Duan Yingluo not get off the stage, so he ran around on both sides. Gu Xiyan discussed Qi Maosheng: "Or, let her choose a time in the morning or afternoon." I'm by your side, if there is any danger, let her rest and rest. ”

Qi Maosheng thought about it, and there was cunning in his eyes. Laughing: "That's good." You tell her to let her spend half a day in the morning. ”

Gu Xiyan looked at that gaze with a strange look. But if she wanted to say anything unusual, she couldn't say anything, so she ran out and passed a message to Duan Yingluo.

Duan Yingluo didn't say anything to Qi Maosheng who gave her the quiet room, but sincerely said thank you to Gu Xiyan.

After eating, I called Mama Zhao to check the pulse, and then prescribed some decoction to clear the heart and regulate qi.

Before leaving, Mama Zhao gave Qi Maosheng a look, and Qi Maosheng understood and personally sent Mama Zhao out.

In Gu Xiyan's eyes, of course there is nothing. The doctor saw her, and it was normal for her husband to go out! But in the eyes of the little girls in Jade, the meaning is very different. The person who can let Grandpa Guo personally send him out of the door...... Of course, this is also a later story, because of this, Mama Zhao later had a smooth life in Qi Mansion!

The two went out and stood under the eaves and whispered.

"Grandpa Guo, I didn't expect my wife to be so sensitive to those medicines, and in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to use similar decoctions. ”

The ladies who gave the restaurant land things were all for the purpose of contraception and **. Mama Zhao actually meant that Gu Xiyan's physique was very sensitive to things that contained similar ingredients.

Qi Maosheng nodded very clearly.

Mama Zhao didn't say anything anymore, bowed her head and bowed.

Qi Maosheng stood under the eaves, looked at the sky with a gloomy face, and exhaled a long breath.

In the afternoon, Qi Xiao and Mr. Ding came together, and of course Gu Xiyan had to avoid it.

She ran to Duan Yingluo's house to talk to Duan Yingluo, who knew that Duan Yingluo was not there, but fortunately, there was Mama Zhao, who received her very warmly. Gu Xiyan, Mama Zhao, Cuiyu and Yan Hong had a tea party in Duan Yingluo's house again, and this time, Gu Xiyan's topic revolved around the treatment of the Wei Mansion.

For example, how much is the monthly money of the big girl, the bag does not include gouache money, the money for making clothes, and there is no red envelope during the New Year's holidays. The two little girls were really surprised and frightened, and they were surprised that Gu Xiyan asked very bluntly, and they couldn't even answer tactfully; I'm afraid I'm talking too much. Compared with the rules of Qi Mansion, his wife's face was gloomy, and she said that it was less, and in the future, she praised her monthly routine according to the money she said......

The two little girls are a little like pins and needles.

Mama Zhao was also secretly surprised in her heart.

Let's say it's a small family, I know everything about these housework; It's said that it's a gentleman valve, and I'm not used to having someone around to serve me...... She shook her head in bewilderment.

Fortunately, the arrival of Hongyu rescued the two little girls from the dilemma.

She took the menu and asked Gu Xiyan how to arrange the dishes in the past few days.

Gu Xiyan took it and saw what kind of cheap and cheap dishes were tofu and cabbage, and she couldn't help but be stunned. "Is this your list?" ”

Hongyu shook her head: "It was the list that Mrs. Xu sent before we came to Hongtai, saying that they were all loved by the master." ”

Sent by Mrs. Xu? Qi Maosheng's favorite food? Like his man of the earth. They are generally carnivores, and they love to eat vegetarian food......

Gu Xiyan was very skeptical.

She said: "In this case, why did you make a roe deer fire nest at noon today?" ”

"It was instructed by the master. said that the third master loves to eat, and he was going to leave the third master for lunch! ”

But he himself eats quite deliciously!

Gu Xiyan remained silent, and praised Hongyu with a smile: "You did this right, if you have this thing in the future, you have to show it to me first." Don't make your own decisions. ”

Hongyu hurriedly bent his knees and saluted, saying things like "I don't dare to be, thank you for your wife's compliment".

Gu Xiyan instructed her: "You can give me a copy of this list." Then he got off the kang again, "Let's go, lead me to the kitchen." ”

Ruby must not be lazy, busy leading the way.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Gu Xiyan checked the warehouse in the kitchen. I found that the chicken, duck and fish meat in it are all complete, and there are no less than ten varieties of rice for cooking alone. Gu Xiyan had a bottom in his heart. And the red jade is going to be on the menu these days. Then she cooked her own dinner.

Yellow braised rabbit, assorted chicken gizzards, braised hoof flowers with green onions, sour cabbage, homemade tofu, and then a boiled fish soup was added. There is only one medium of each. Qi Maosheng ate very happily, and finally pointed to the green onion roasted hoof flower and said: "This dish is well done, let the chef make another plate, and send it to Qi Xiao tomorrow!" ”

A few little girls covered their mouths and smiled, and Xia Qing said, "This is cooked by my wife herself." ”

Qi Maosheng glanced at Gu Xiyan in great surprise: "I thought you were talking about playing, but I didn't expect to be able to really cook." ”

Gu Xiyan looked calm and unfazed, and said with emotion: "Look at what the master said, the slave's handwriting is not good, and the embroidery is not good." If you can't even cook again. Hey, I guess there's no place for me to stand in this house......" There was a smug in his tone.

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but laugh.

This pleasant atmosphere was maintained until they went to the kang after each wash.

Gu Xiyan was about to loosen her bun. Still smeared, when he returned to the house, Qi Maosheng had already changed his clothes, and was sitting at the kang table intently looking at a picture, and when he saw Gu Xiyan coming in, he beckoned to her. Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the kang and just took off her shoes, Qi Maochang stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, hugged her and pointed to the picture on the kang table: "Look, this is the one-third of the fire gun making diagram." I asked Mr. Ding to find it out today. ”

Gu Xiyan glanced at it, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Qi Maosheng said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Words like that? I don't know if anyone knows? ”

"You know it's the word!" Qi Maosheng said strangely, his eyes burst into light, "Then do you recognize it?" ”

Gu Xiyan shook his head and said, "Look, these few, recurring, and a little regular." What is not a word? ”

Qi Maosheng nodded, looked at the picture and sighed: "I also guess that these symbols are words." once extended two lines for people to recognize, and they all said that they had never seen it. It's this painting, and I don't know if it's real or not. How I looked at it, it looked like something carved out of wood. Fire and wood are incompatible, this is the truth that everyone understands, this fire gun, as the name suggests, is to use the fire ground, draw a wooden thing on it, what is it used for...... If I could be born in the same era as Li Chaoyang, I would have to know this person no matter what......"

Gu Xiyan lowered his head.

Under the dim light, there was a piece of kraft paper with a size of only 16 carats on the kang table, which had been worn out a little due to long-term rubbing, and the picture was a little confused. Qi Maosheng had never seen it, it was a blind man touching an elephant, but Gu Xiyan could see it clearly, it was a wooden gun butt, and in the upper right corner of the paper, a few lines were densely written in English.

She also has a level 4 in English, but she only knows a few words similar to "and", "here", and "on", and the rest are probably professional terms, and she doesn't know what is written at all.

Qi Maosheng rubbed the drawing with some fascination: "If only someone could recognize these words, at least we can know whether they are true or false......" His voice was hoarse with longing.

Gu Xiyan's expression was even more strange.

Is there anyone else in the world who can recognize these words?

Such a drawing, even if Qi Maosheng got it, what is the use?

However, now that he knew what the so-called fire gun manufacturing map was, Gu Xiyan was still greatly relieved.

What others don't know, she knows very well. I think that back then, the Qing government's country was forcibly opened, didn't it mean that foreigners had pistols in their hands?

If there is really someone in this world who can make a pistol, then Qi Mao will live and not die, and he will only be a subservient. Can Qi Maosheng's character, will he bow his head? When the time comes......

When she was a child, the government began to ban fireworks, not to mention guns, even to make a firecracker for her, she didn't have the courage and certainty.

Gu Xiyan looked at the drawing in a daze.
