Siping saw that Qi Maosheng was also listening attentively, and said with a busy smile: "I heard that the eldest son born outside this time is about to get married, and the lady in the back street is in the account of the fourth master of the Qing Dynasty... The fourth master said that he didn't let the family know about this house when he got it..."

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Could it be that the one outside is getting married, and the fourth uncle is still going to use 100,000 taels of silver... This is too much to take the fourth aunt in your eyes... It's no wonder that the fourth aunt messes with her every day..."

Criticizing the elders' words, Siping naturally didn't dare to speak, listening to Qi Maosheng's nagging, Gu Xiyan opened the lock of the secret grid, counted 100,000 taels of silver tickets and handed it to Siping: "Go, remember to read the contract clearly, lest the fourth uncle play any new tricks in the future... I've heard that he sold two antique vases to his second uncle, and then he asked them to go back... didn't make a contract, so the fourth uncle took the deed that he had set up in the mansion when the family was separated, and said that the two vases were not given to him at all, and they had been at the second uncle's house, and the second uncle had no choice but to return the vase to the fourth uncle..."

Qi Maosheng shook his head with a smile.

Being able to go out and play and change the existing way of life is very exciting and longing for it, even Hongluan, which is no exception.

She is fourteen years old this year, and she is about the same height as Gu Xiyan.

Since Wu Qi, the Duke of Jin, was rejected that year, I don't know who said what in front of Hongluan, or if she is getting older and becoming sensible, in the past few years, she has seen Gu Xiyan with a lot of respect in her expression.

Gu Xiyan called the people in the needlework team to come to the pear orchard and make a few new clothes for Hongluan and Gardenia, ready for them to wear when they went to Jiufeng.

When Brother Jun saw his sister coming, he ignored her with a tiger face.

Hongluan didn't like Brother Tun either, so he didn't see it.

Mrs. Wei snorted coldly, her face cloudy as if it was going to rain.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly came out to play a round. Discuss the style and color of the clothes with the tailor and Hongluan. Mrs. Wei saw that there were outsiders. I swallowed the words in my mouth and didn't say anything.

Sent away Hongluan. Mrs. Wei complained: "I would have asked you to find her an in-law to marry her." You have to pick and choose..."

Hongluan's marriage. Now it's a big headache.

Everyone in the family knew her temper and was reluctant to meddle in this matter. Introduced by people outside, Gu Xiyan is not at ease (this book is reprinted *拾~陸*κ文學網). And so it dragged on.

Is this considered "the emperor's daughter is also worried about marrying." Gu Xiyan thought self-deprecatingly.

She wanted to persuade Mrs. Wei a few words. There is no opening yet. I saw Duan Niang standing outside the curtain and glaring at her.

It seems that there is something inconvenient to say in front of Mrs. Wei!

Gu Xiyan quietly exchanged a few words with Mrs. Wei, and seeing that she was having fun with Brother Xuan, she found an excuse and walked away.

Gu Xiyan and Duan Niang went to the warm pavilion to talk.

"The Taoist temple sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Zhen Niang is dying... Let's go and see it personally! ”

Gu Xiyan nodded: "You can just go and take a look... Hongluan hasn't mentioned this matter in the past two years, and don't spoil everyone's interest at this time! ”

Duanniang nodded: "I know!" ”

After Duan Niang left, Gu Xiyan stood alone in the room for half a salary.

dragged on for a few years. In the end, it didn't work... Although he didn't kill her, he didn't actively seek medical advice for her...

For Zhenniang, Gu Xiyan's feelings are more complicated. There's pity, there's hatred, there's anger... But hearing such news, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Gu Xiyan went to Wanqingxuan.

Hongluan was leaning on the couch on the mat, lazily looking at the sweaty gardenia on the side.

Gu Xiyan felt a little strange, and walked over with a smile: "What are you doing here?" On a hot day, I don't help the gardenia fan. ”

The little girls next to them immediately went to get the fan in a panic, Hongluan and Gardenia went down to salute Gu Xiyan and invited her to the bed, and Gardenia personally poured tea for Gu Xiyan.

The house was cleaned up neatly. The cyan ice-cracked plum bottle also has a few nightshades inserted into it.

Hongluan likes flowers and plants very much, this should be her handiwork. This point is a bit like leaf perilla.

Gu Xiyan smiled.

Gardenia had already brought the tea, Gu Xiyan lowered her head to take the tea, and the corner of her eyes swept over the couch.

She was taken aback. There was a geometry problem on the couch.

"What is this?"

Gardenia blushed and said, "The third girl made a question for me, I, I haven't made it yet..."

"Hongluan will do it for you..."Gu Xiyan was stunned and looked at Hongluan in disbelief.

Hongluan lowered her eyelids. He whispered: "This is metaphysics, you don't understand." ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't hide her surprise and picked up the paper, and said, "Who taught you this!" ”

Hongluan pursed her mouth tightly and didn't speak.

Gu Xiyan understood in his heart.

Who else but Zhenniang?

She couldn't help but sigh faintly, hesitating to tell her about Zhenniang's situation.

Hongluan said stubbornly as if she felt something: "It's not Zhenniang, I learned it from a book..."

Gu Xiyan was very shocked, and said after a while: "You don't want to learn from female red." I don't want to learn to play the piano... But I'm interested in that. ”

Hongluan stared at her: "Then what's there to learn." As long as it's a girl... What I learned, they didn't know. ”

The corners of the raised eyebrows. That cold expression, that contemptuous gaze... Gu Xiyan seemed to see another Qi Maosheng.

Her head ached.

Why are the children in this family like Maosheng... None of them are soft, sweet, docile... Even the little brother tun, annoying him, will look at people like this...

Gu Xiyan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. She muttered, "Would you like to hire a teacher to teach you this... It's better to be interested than not to be interested..."

Who knew that Hongluan actually said: "Okay, if you find me someone better than me to be my teacher, I will marry me to whoever you want... However, the teacher wants to marry me with me. ”

Gu Xiyan sweated profusely and returned to the pear orchard, and heard Mrs. Wei's cheerful laughter from the pear orchard from a distance.

Mrs. Wei is not an easy person to please.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look at the apricot rain that greeted him suspiciously.

Xingyu hurriedly said: "It's the young grandmother of the Liu family who is here, and she brought a woman here... It made Mrs. Tai happy! ”

Brought a woman, is that Miss Xu?

When Gu Xiyan entered the house, he saw Liang Zhangzhu sitting on the embroidered pier in front of the kang and talking to Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei leaned forward and leaned back with a smile: "... It's been a long time since I've heard a joke like this, when you're free, come into the house and sit down..."As she spoke, she saw Gu Xiyan, and she smiled, "You're here!" Young grandmother Liu Jiadi specially came to greet you! ”

Gu Xiyan hurriedly greeted Liang Zhangzhu. But his eyes couldn't help but look behind her.

Tall and thin figure, fair skin, dark eyes, beautiful facial features, and thick gloom between the eyebrows... It was the girl Xu who sent the orange orchid down the mountain.

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded at her.

Miss Xu bent her knees and saluted Gu Xiyan. A few people quit Mrs. Wei and went to the warm pavilion to speak.

"Since the girl is willing to come to Yongzhou to see me, she came with sincerity." Gu Xiyan got straight to the point, "You also know what happened in the Jiufeng Church this spring, and I have no other requirements for the girl." I just want you not to preach among the children. ”

Miss Xu smiled understandingly: "Young lady, don't worry, believing in religion is my private matter." I won't cause a storm and ruin the children's future. ”

"In that case, then Miss Xu will stay and try for three months for the time being." Gu Xiyan said to Liang Zhangzhu, "If everyone thinks it is appropriate, then we will sign another deed, and write down the treatment you want to enjoy and the responsibilities you want to fulfill, and settle the account according to this in the future." How? ”

Miss Xu nodded as if relieved, got up and was about to leave, and Liang Zhangzhu was going to bid farewell to Mrs. Wei. Miss Xu waited outside the house, and when Liang Zhangzhu came out, she immediately followed.

In mid-July, Gu Xiyan's family went to Jiufeng.

The beauty of the scenery of Huichun Garden is spectacular. Hugging the towering trees, the wide corridors, and the rolling hills, it has the style of a royal garden.

Gu Xiyan rode on his side, and Qi Maosheng pulled the reins of the horse and walked slowly.

She looked at the clear water and green mountains and sighed: "Maosheng." How much does it cost to raise such a garden in a year? ”

Qi Maosheng turned back to her and smiled: "That's why no one buys it!" ”

Gu Xiyan pretended to be angry and said, "We will ask for a return after we go back..."

Qi Maosheng laughed, turned over his horse, and said, "Sit tight, let's ride to that mountain." ”

The horse pedaled lightly, the horse ran up quickly, Gu Xiyan closed his eyes and screamed and hugged Qi Maosheng: "Let's go back, I don't want to run so far... I'm going to run back later..."

The wind poured into her mouth, fragmenting her voice. Words are not in sentences.

Qi Maosheng laughed and reined in the horse's reins. Gu Xiyan patted his chest: "I see others riding horses, and I am very envious." Who knew that when it came to me, it was so uncomfortable, Mao Sheng, did you really stay on horseback for seven days in a row? ”

Qi Maosheng didn't answer her, jumped off the horse, grabbed her waist with both hands and supported her off the horse: "Look, is it beautiful?" ”

In front of them, there was a small river. The river meanders through the woods, with sleek pebbles lying quietly on the riverbed, and a school of wild fish swimming by.

"I found it yesterday when I was riding a horse..."Qi Maosheng tied the horse to the stump on the side, rolled up the sleeves of his coat, tucked the corners of his robe, and took off his shoes and stepped into the river.

"Come on, Xiyan, you try it too!"

He smiled and stretched out his hand towards Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan held Qi Maosheng's hand, kicked his shoes and jumped into the river.

The water is cool, the head is lush and green, and only the maosheng around him breathes a warm breath.

"Mao Sheng..."Gu Xiyan shouted his name, and his white and slender little feet stepped on Qi Maosheng's feet.

A hint of warmth spreads from the soles of the feet to the heart.

"Mao Sheng..." Gu Xiyan hugged the silent person beside him tightly, and stood in the water with his hands calloused.
