Gu Xiyan was slightly stunned.

Although Liang Zhangzhu is often with them, if it weren't for the New Year's holidays, she would not easily step into the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Gu Xiyan glanced at Qi Maosheng humbly.

Qi Maosheng has just come back from Lingzhou, and he has been going out early and returning late in the past few days, and it is rare to return to Liyuan so early today...

In hesitation, I heard Qi Maosheng say, "Let's go... I happened to play with Brother Tun! ”

Gu Xiyan was a little weak-hearted.

Just now I made up my mind to treat Mao Sheng well, but in a blink of an eye, I left him behind.

Gu Xiyan smiled embarrassedly and said hurriedly: "I'll take a look, I'll come right away." ”

Qi Maosheng smiled and nodded, and Gu Xiyan instructed Chunxiu: "Please invite the young grandmother of the Liu family to sit in the warm pavilion!" ”

Spring embroidery went away.

Gu Xiyan changed into a pair of clothes, and then went to the warm pavilion.

Liang Zhangzhu has managed the needle money team to make a living in the past few years. He also manages the money and money exchanges between private schools and orphanages. It's a lot of work. There are already crow's feet in the corners of the eyes. But it didn't make her haggard. On the contrary, there is a kind of beauty that has been practiced after thousands of sails. Faintly revealing the spirit of nobility.

She saw Gu Xiyan come in. Stand up. He shouted with a smile, "Young lady." ”

Gu Xiyan saw that there was a box and a tea cup on the small table in front of her. knew that Momozhi had served her tea. smiled and pointed to the embroidered pier behind her: "Young grandmother, please sit down!" ”

Liang Zhangzhu sat down. Taozhi served tea to Gu Xiyan again. Gu Xiyan said at this time: "Young grandma is here." But what's the matter? ”

Liang Zhang smiled: "It's not important... It's our aunt and grandmother. I have something to ask the young lady. ”

Mrs. Gu?

Gu Xiyan was slightly stunned.

Last year, Gu Panxi participated in the palace examination at the age of thirteen, and was named the first place, becoming the second champion of the Xia Kingdom, "father and son two champions", looking at the entire history of the Xia Kingdom, this is the first time. Then. Not to mention Xizhao, even Gu Xiyan heard about it in Yongzhou, for a while, Gu Panxi's name can be said to be a household name, and it is said that Mrs. Gu was also named "Mrs. Ci'an" by the court. "I don't know what's going on. Mrs. Gu wants Liang Zhangzhu to come all the way to ask herself?

"Young lady, you're welcome, just say it!" Although Gu Xiyan tried her best to suppress the doubts in her heart, her eager tone still revealed the worries in her heart.

Liang Zhangzhu smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, Young Master Panxi is also fourteen years old this year, and he has reached the age of marriage. There is an endless stream of people who ask people to say that matchmakers, and our aunt and grandmother don't have an idea, so they asked me to ask the young lady and let the young lady help her get an idea. After speaking, he was about to hand the box to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan took the box with some surprise: "Let me give me an idea?" ”

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "Here, is the situation of several girls' families, our aunt and grandmother said." Let's show it to the young lady Gu Xiyan couldn't help sweating on her forehead: "This kind of thing, how can it be decided with my words... I think it's better to let Panxi's grandfather and uncle make up their minds! ”

Liang Zhangzhu smiled and said: "What about Panxi's grandfather, I want to help Panxi hire the daughter of Mr. Sun of Songqi Academy, Panxi's uncle, but I want to help Panxi hire the daughter of Zuo Xiaoyu, the prince of the dynasty, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the secretary of the military department..."

"Left, Zuo Xiaoyu's daughter..."Gu Xiyan opened his mouth and stammered.

How so?

Can Zuo Xiaoyu's daughters get married?

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "Exactly... According to his uncle, this marriage was proposed by Lord Zuo. And Lord Zuo also said. He has four daughters of the right age, and he can choose whatever he wants..."

Zuo Xiaoyu is an ordinary person, even if he cherishes and pans for his talents, he will not be degraded to this point!

Gu Xiyan's heart rang with an alarm bell, and he hurriedly said: "I think I have to think about this matter carefully." ”

Liang Zhangzhu stood up: "Since this is the case, then I will listen to the young lady's instructions." ”

As soon as Gu Xiyan sent Liang Zhangzhu away, he hurriedly returned to the house.

Qi Maosheng was patiently telling Brother Jun the story of the "Three Little Pigs" when he saw Gu Xiyan coming. Relieved, he hurriedly said: "Brother Jun, Mom is here, let her tell you a story, okay?" ”

When Brother Jun heard this, he immediately snatched the book in Qi Maosheng's hand and handed it to Gu Xiyan: "Mom, Mom, you tell me..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and kissed her son: "Didn't you say that Mom didn't speak well?" ”

Brother Jun pouted.

Gu Xiyan hugged Brother Xuan as if soothingly. While facing Mao Sheng, he said, "Mao Sheng." Zuo Xiaoyu wants to marry her daughter to Pan Xi... You say, what should I do? ”

Qi Maosheng's pupils shrank. There was an imminent murderous aura on his face.

The child's sense is the most sensitive, and Brother Jun was so frightened that he threw himself into his mother's arms, and secretly looked at his father out of the corner of his eye.

"Maosheng, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiyan patted Brother Tun's back to comfort him.

"The family affair has been decided?" Qi Maosheng took a deep breath, and the coldness on his body dissipated little by little.

"Not yet. He said he wanted me to help him come up with an idea. ”

Qi Maosheng groaned: "Now the political situation in Xizhao is unstable. Zuo Xiaoyu seems to be Fang Jixian's lackey, he is only afraid that he is recruiting talents for the Fang family, and this marriage cannot be taken lightly. ”

Gu Xiyan nodded: "I think so too... What else do you say about the four school-age daughters, pick and choose... With his status today, he is also a little too humble..."

Qi Maosheng gently knocked on the kang table with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Xiyan, now Xizhao, relatives are in power... Read history to learn from the present. Throughout the dynasties, there are only two endings, either Mo is to replace them, or Mo is not to connect the nine clans... Although Pan Xi is highly talented, but after all, he is young, I think, you also persuaded Mrs. Gu to let him stop being a scholar, and it would be better to stay in Songqi Academy and write books. ”

It seems that Qi Maosheng thought of it with Liu Sanduo, otherwise, Liu Sanduo would not have wanted to marry the daughter of a college gentleman.

Gu Xiyan was a little stunned: "I don't know if there were any clues left by the marriage escape back then... I just hope that Panxi will not be implicated because of me..."

Early the next morning, Gu Xiyan invited Liang Zhangzhu to talk about it: "... Maybe we're too worried... In this matter, let's ask Panxi's grandfather to take the idea! ”

Liang Zhangzhu nodded again and again: "What the young lady means, I already understand, I will bring the letter back to Shuzhou." ”

After talking about personal matters, Liang Zhangzhu brought up a business matter: "Jiufeng's side." There is an Aunt Xu, who is not only talented, but also has a noble character, a pure heart, and a very neat act, I want to invite her to Yongzhou to help manage the orphanage..." She showed a few hesitations.

Gu Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Not from Yandi?" Or is it a Christian? ”

"Both are accounted for. I've been volunteering in the church, and I'm a Xizhao person. Liang Zhangzhu smiled bitterly, "This Miss Xu, it is said that her parents died, she used to be a nurturing grandmother in the Shi family, and her life was very difficult," Liang Zhangzhu sighed in her tone, "She is determined not to marry." and willing to come forward to help us... It's the best candidate. Although the identity is inappropriate, I still want to ask my wife to think about it. Such a person is really rare. ”

As their business grows bigger, the question of who will be in charge becomes the question. It's okay to say in the needlework team, but this private school and orphanage are not like that, and you have to be patient, and there are people who have read a little bit and know some general things. Some time ago, for these, Gu Xiyan broke his head and mobilized everyone to actively recommend it. That's what Liang Zhangzhu said today.

The upbringing of the Shi family. Believers in Christianity... It will always flash in Gu Xiyan's mind for a long time.

Could it be the woman who sent the orange orchid down the mountain that day?

Gu Xiyan groaned: "Or, let her come to see me one day, and I will understand before making a decision." ”

Whether it is a needlework team, a private school, or a later orphanage, Gu Xiyan has a purpose, that is, although he is mainly from Yandi, especially at this level of stewardship, he rarely uses outsiders. Today, Gu Xiyan can relax. Liang Zhangzhu feels that he has gained a lot.

"I'm going to go to Jiufeng in two days... We gathered some clothes and food to send to the church... When the time comes, I'll talk to Miss Xu again and listen to her opinion! ”

Hearing the meaning of this, Gu Xiyan was slightly stunned: "Doesn't Miss Xu herself really want to come to Yongzhou?" ”

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "Miss Xu said that she is not from Yandi after all... But this girl, I have been in contact with several times, is really outstanding, and she is a bitter person. It's really unbearable to watch. ”

Gu Xiyan thought of the thin figure and those smart eyes: "It's also a poor person!" ”

The two sighed. Liang Zhangzhu got up with a smile and said goodbye: "This time I went to Jiufeng, I want to take the two children with me." Mama's mother-in-law, no lighter than in the past, just go, there are still many things to prepare at home, so I will leave first. ”

Gu Xiyan was a little surprised: "Are you still going to bring the child over?" ”

Liang Zhangzhu nodded: "They are pampered, they don't know the world's suffering, let them take a look, and also raise a heart to do good... Although he thinks so, the child's father is not at ease, so he has to bring Cui Niang and a group of followers..."

The two laughed, and Gu Xiyan sent Liang Zhangzhu away.

Because of Gu Panxi's marriage, Gu Xiyan began to pay attention to the movements of Xizhao, and in mid-June, the news of the emperor's death suddenly came from Shengjing.

"He should only be in his twenties this year, and he hasn't heard of any illness, why did he suddenly collapse..."Gu Xiyan was very stunned.

Qi Maosheng was a little absent-minded with the spy report.

Yang Yu died suddenly, and the imperial concubine Yu asked for a funeral... How familiar this plot is! Xizhao Palace, I just like to do this!
