Chapter 66: Accidental

Gu Xiyan's fingertips kept sliding over the top of the round jade, on which was carved a centipede, which was bent into a zigzag shape on a thumb-sized cross-section, with a total of thirty-six feet, each with a different appearance and shape.

This is Qi Maosheng's private chapter!

It looks like the pattern on the jade pendant that Cui Baoyi gave herself!

The graphics are very quaint, they are all made of lines, and there are no rounded strokes......

Gu Xiyan froze suddenly.

Cui Baoyi carved an ancient Xia character "Fu" on his jade pendant, is the pattern on Qi Maosheng's private seal also an ancient Xia script...... Could it be a word?

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Xiyan immediately became anxious.

She raised her voice and said, "Mo Ju! Mo Ju! ”

The room was silent, and there was no answer.

Qi Maosheng, Qi Maosheng, he doesn't know what's going on now? Does that dream at noon have any special significance?

Gu Xiyan lay on the bed dejectedly, tormented by unknown fears.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of light footsteps outside, and Gu Xiyan cheered up and asked "who".

Xinghong replied through the curtain: "Second girl, it is me and Sister Huilan who are back." ”

Gu Xiyan said: "Please come in and have a cup of tea!" ”

Huilan crisply responded to the call, pulled Gu Xiyan's pillow and helped her sit up: "Are the girl's feet better?" When I followed my aunt, I once saw an ancient recipe, which is very effective in treating trauma, or I wrote a prescription for the girl to try. ”

Gu Xiyan just had a foot, it wasn't an external injury, but when Huilan said this, it reminded her of Qi Maosheng, and she didn't know what happened to his injury, and whether those Di Xiangju would help him.

There was another moment of trance in her expression.

Huilan and Xinghong looked at each other inexplicably, and Huilan smiled: "The girl doesn't drink." Do you want me to make you a pot of honey tea? ”

Gu Xiyan let out an "ah", and it took a while to come back to his senses. The answer was not asked: "My foot is always bad, so I'll trouble you to write me a copy of that recipe later, and let Xinghong help you grab the medicine and try it." ”

Xinghong's face changed slightly. felt that something was wrong with Gu Xiyan, but he still responded respectfully in his mouth.

Huilan knew how to hide it than Xinghong, her face was as usual, and she said with a smile: "I'll write it to the girl." After speaking, he gave Xinghong a look, and Xinghong immediately brought a pen and inkstone, and Huilan raised the pen and ink. wrote a prescription and handed it to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan took the recipe and was not in a hurry to see it, and asked Huilan: "The girl has been with her aunt for many years!" ”

Hui Lan hesitated for a while, and said: "I was originally from Baicheng, Guozhou, Longzuo County, and in the 292nd year of Xizhao, the court went to Longshan to suppress bandits, and my parents died in the war. +++ Junzitang debuted+++ It happened that my aunt went to Fengtai to visit Mr. Huang and returned to the Songjiang Plain via Baicheng and saved my life......"

This year is the 300th anniversary of Xizhao, and if you do the math, she has been following Cui Baoyi for eight years. A thought crossed Gu Xiyan's mind, and she asked, "Huilan, do you know when the first emperor of Xizhao ascended the throne?" ”

Whelan thought for a moment and said, "July 14, 1816 in the summer calendar. ”

Gu Xiyan's palms were sweating: "What day is today?" ”

Whelan said "oops": "Today is the seventh day of July, no wonder the capital is heavily guarded, I want to come to the emperor to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the founding of Xizhao......

For the Xizhao Dynasty. There is no better congratulatory gift than the sacrifice of a prisoner by the Duke of Yan.

Seven days to go!

It took God seven days to create the world, and what will happen in the seven days of the sun? Who is Adam, who is Eve, who is the viper!

Gu Xiyan sweated on his forehead. I felt the breath of the mountain rain coming and the wind full of buildings.

Apricot red eyes are sharp. smiled: "Girl, I'll fan you!" ”

Gu Xiyan shook his head. Ask Whelan: "Do you know Gu Xia Wen?" ”

Huilan smiled and nodded: "It turns out that when I was by my aunt's side, I often helped my aunt clean up the manuscripts, so I knew some Guxia scripts. ”

Gu Xiyan asked Xinghong to take paper and ink to draw the pattern on Qi Maosheng's private seal to show Huilan, and Huilan smiled: "Oh, this is a word." ”

Gu Xiyan asked hesitantly: "Shou Zi?" The longevity word of longevity and health? ”

"It's not." Whelan smiled, "It's God who gives him the words." In the ancient Xia text, this is a very special word, in the oldest mythology of the Xia Kingdom, we are all the servants of the great god of Xiantian, this grant is a close guard next to the great god of Xiantian, the son of the great god of Xiantian Ado wanted to kill Chasuo to become the great god of Xiantian, so he set up an ambush in the Temple of Light, and assassinated him when the great god of Xiantian changed into a mortal body to listen to the suffering of the people. At the critical moment, he was in front of Chasuo and received a sword from the Assassin, and then escaped from the Temple of Light despite his injuries...... Since then, he has become the most trusted and favored guard of the Great God, who has been given this image by him, which means that he has thirty-six skills, can change in thirty-six ways, and is worshiped by the thirty-six parties, so that he can patrol the divine realm and the mortal world as his own representative, and have the meaning of God's mandate......"

Gu Xiyan's fingers trembled.

Whelan said suspiciously: "Why did the girl ask about this word!" ”

Gu Xiyan said vaguely: "Didn't my aunt give me a jade pendant last time...... I don't know this word either, so I'll ask you......"

Xinghong cleaned up the pen and inkstone on the side, and said with a smile: "The girl really asked the right person!" I haven't met anyone smarter than Sister Whelan. Knowing everything......"

Huilan hurriedly stopped Xinghong: "You love me too much!" In front of the girl, how dare I be smart......"

Xinghong's face was slightly stiff.

After all, Gu Xiyan has a different education, and she has always cared not much about the relationship between master and servant, and she herself was born at the grassroots level, and she admires those who change their fate through their own efforts. She relieved Whelan and said to Xinghong: "Then you will follow Whelan to learn." ”

Xinghong didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly bent her knees and made a blessing to Gu Xiyan, and answered "yes" in a low voice.

Huilan hurriedly smiled: "Xinghong, let's go and help the girl make some sweet honey tea, the girl sleeps, let the girl moisten her throat!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Let Xinghong go and cook, let's sit here and talk." ”

Xinghong responded and went to make tea. Huilan sat on the edge of the bed and chatted with Gu Xiyan: "Is it okay for my aunt to be on an errand in the palace?" Did you come back with a letter? ”

Huilan smiled and replied one by one: "Waiting by the side of the Queen Mother, every day is to read to the Queen Mother." Accompany the practice of calligraphy and painting, very leisurely. When the queen mother also went to Kunning Palace to ask for peace, she occasionally accompanied the queen mother to talk. Bring a letter to say that everything is fine. Don't worry! ”

"Mama Wu is in good health!" Gu Xiyan Yin Yin asked, "Is there anyone around to serve?" ”

Huilan's eyes flickered: "Although the eldest aunt is on an errand in the palace, her salary is not high, where can she afford to invite someone, I will serve by my side." ”

Gu Xiyan said with concern: "Then aren't you very hard!" ”

Huilan sighed: "The second girl is not an outsider, and it doesn't matter if she tells you." There is no way around it. The aunt is a person who jumped out of the red dust, where did she notice these small things. Speaking of which. I'm eighteen years old this year...... You can't always wait by Mama Wu's side! After speaking, he smiled bitterly, "I heard that Aunt Duan and the girl went to Qixiaguan to find Aunt Zhenling, I think it's a good thing coming!" The slave maid is here to congratulate the second girl! ”

Gu Xiyan's heart froze.

This must have been what Xinghong told Whelan, but I don't know how much she told. When you go back, you must ask Duan Niang, but you can't shake out the matter on Tu Niang's side. That's a piece of driftwood on my ground!

Huilan didn't answer when she saw Gu Xiyan smiling, her face turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "Girl, I'm afraid I think I'm too ashamed......

"No, no." Gu Xiyan hurriedly defended, "It's just that this matter hasn't been skimmed yet, and I can't say anything." ”

Whelan smiled, "Girl." Don't blame the slave for being too talkative. In my opinion, it is better to agree with General Zuo......"

Gu Xiyan was stunned, but he didn't expect Huilan to even know such details. She smiled faintly and said thoughtfully: "He is many years older than me, and Aunt Duan means that the Jiang family is better...... There is also a brocade heart there. There is also a ...... to take care of."

"Girl. You have always been kind, and I also feel amiable when I see you. I have always regarded you as my own half-master in my heart, and since you have said this today, if I still want you to be sloppy in front of you, I can't help but treat me well. Hui Lan had a broken expression on her face, "Think about it, no matter how good the Jiang family is, how many shares can you get in Jiang Xinglin's hands." But General Zuo is different, the hussar general, is the third grade, half a level higher than Master Gu, as soon as he marries in, he is the wife of the commandment, the mother of the landlord, not a hundred times stronger than the ninth son of Jiang Jiu......"

Gu Xiyan was still hesitating there: "However, he already has three concubines......

Huilan sneered: "Girl, no matter how many concubines you have, they are all concubines. What's more, several of General Zuo's sons are all concubines. If the girl gives birth to a son in the future, she will naturally be an upright son, and she will inherit the family, and she will be a girl all her life, and which of the sons will dare not be filial in front of you, and when the time comes, you will accept which one you say will be accepted under your knees, and I am afraid that they will turn the sky upside down......"

A smile slowly bloomed on Gu Xiyan's face: "It's still Huilan's thoughts!" ”

Hearing this, Huilan raised her head with anticipation: "Girl, why don't you take me to your side and wait!" ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned.

Huilan recommended herself with a scarlet face: "Although I am not as smart as Mo Ju and Xinghong, I am older than them, and I can take care of anything, so the girl may wish to consider it." ”

Come to me, what are you doing?

Be a handmaiden? Still is...... When is the girl who has a room?

Gu Xiyan showed an unfathomable smile: "This, isn't this too wronged for you!" ”

Huilan was stunned and was about to speak, but Xinghong came in with a small lacquer plate containing honey tea, and said with a smile: "Girl, Sister Huilan drinks tea!" ”

If you don't come in early, you don't come in late, but you come in at this critical time!

A hint of gloom flashed across Huilan's face, and she quickly smiled again, and went up to take the small lacquer plate with apricot red ground and brought it to Gu Xiyan's hand. Gu Xiyan brought a cup of tea, and asked Huilan not to be formal, so Xinghong brought a cup to Huilan.

Everyone sat down and drank tea quietly, speechless for a while.
