Chapter 261: Sparks in the Plains (4)

It snowed heavily for two days in a row, and it suddenly stopped in the middle of the night last night, and when I got up in the morning, the sun was red and bright, and Qi Maosheng sat in front of the kang near the window, and from time to time I could hear the sound of the little maids clearing the snow and whispering.

Bao Niang's expression was tired: "...... He died in Diezhou, Longdong County...... The keys were not found......"

Qi Maosheng tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, nodded kindly, and said, "How did you die?" ”

"The wound was severe, fatally in the throat."

"Did you investigate her previous experience?"

"Checked. His father was a talented man who had tried and failed, but he was quite famous in Jiangnan, and was later invited by Gu's descendants to sit in Songgul Academy. At the age of twelve, his father died, and he was supported by Songqi Academy, and when he was eighteen years old, he suddenly went to Fengtai, and he spent five years with Mr. Huang in Fengtai, during which he wrote a book called Nuxun. Then I came and traveled all over the place. In the year 298 of Xizhao, he was invited by the Empress Dowager Fang to enter the palace to give a banquet to several princesses to be married, and then he opened the Xiaoxiang Women's School through the Gu family...... Now the records of the court say that she is missing. ”

Qi Maosheng raised his jaw slightly: "You have worked hard." Seeing that it's almost the New Year, go to Sanping to hand in an errand and go back to Yongzhou to rest and rest! ”

Bao Niang's face was ashamed: "Master, they are all slaves and maids who are incompetent, and they have put on the master's errand......"

Qi Maosheng smiled and said, "This is originally a matter of the spy department. You don't have to blame yourself, go back to Yongzhou, Mrs. Wei, I'm afraid I remember it very much. ”

At this point, no amount of talk can change the situation.

Bao Niang clasped her fists and saluted and retreated.

Qi Maosheng waited for her to go away. He paced around the room with his hands behind his back in annoyance.

The Gu family had already sold the old mansion in September. I just moved back to my hometown in Shuzhou two days ago.

The buyer was an unknown Lingnan businessman. The bid was 1,200,000 taels of silver. The Liu family had discussed him about this matter. At that time, he entrusted 1,300,000 taels of silver. The other party immediately raised the price to 1.5 million taels of silver. He went out to 1,600,000 taels. The other party gave two million taels. It's completely like a fish is dead and the net is broken...... Instead, he bought the Gu family for a sky-high price of three million taels of silver.

Come to think of it. He couldn't help but smile wryly.

If it's not across the sunset in the middle. He could have resorted to other means...... But this number. It was he who took it out, and Xizhao checked it over there, and there were some things, I was afraid that I couldn't hide it. Moreover, I can come up with such a big handiwork. There was no movement in the palace. He had a vague idea in his heart. Holding Cui Baoyi's line in his hand. Naturally, I gave up. I just didn't think of it. Cui Baoyi actually died in Diezhou!

Diezhou, Diezhou......

His brow tightened.

Diezhou in Longdong County has always been a battleground for soldiers. At the intersection of Shu, Jin and Liang, there is a fish mouth ferry, and you can reach Pingzhou of Longzuo County on the opposite bank by rocking the oar, and enter the boundary of Xizhao. If you go to the southwest, but only six days away, you can enter Dangzhou in Fengtai...... Cui Baoyi chose to settle in Diezhou, where is she going......

Thinking of this, he felt even more upset, and then remembered the letter from Siping yesterday, vaguely, only saying that Xiyan slept well and ate well. Reassure him.

Feel relieved! Feel relieved! What kind of heart does he put in him!

I thought that the key to nine out of ten was now missing. When the time comes, how will you explain to Xiyan!

He shouted "Erping" irritably.

The little guy who was serving outside the house hurriedly answered. I ran to find Erping.

Erping stepped into the house and saw Qi Maosheng standing in the middle of the room with a cold face.

Startled, he cautiously stepped forward and saluted.

"Master, what are your instructions for the little one?"

Qi Maosheng's brows frowned: "Madame asked you to transfer someone to Sanping some time ago, but what news has come here?" ”

Xiyan asked him for someone, he told him, he asked what he was doing, but Xiyan mysteriously didn't tell him. Later, when the person was transferred, he was afraid that the people below would speculate, so naturally it was difficult to ask, but today he was really annoyed, so he couldn't help but find Erping to ask. Erping smiled and said, "Madam said, let's not tell you." Wait until you go back to Yongzhou! ”

Qi Maosheng looked at Erping dumbfounded.

Erping smiled even brighter: "Master, Madame has never looked for us, this time, you will give the little ones a few thin noodles, and let our brothers show their faces in front of Madame!" ”

"How many brothers do you have?" Qi Maosheng was stunned, "Who else?" ”

"One Ping, Two Ping, I ...... with Siping" Sanping replied, and secretly peeked at Qi Maosheng's expression.

I don't know why, Qi Maosheng remembered that Gu Xiyan gave him his birthday.

In the first year, when he was in Gaochang, Xiyan asked people to bring him a sunflower and write a letter, saying that he should always smile like a sunflower and greet every day with words of encouragement; The next year, when she was sad, the whole pear orchard trembled, everyone seemed to have forgotten his birthday, and he didn't dare to mention it. When he went back in the evening, the dark room was suddenly brightly lit, and the table was full of his favorite meals, and Xiyan sang him a long tune of Yandi......

The playful smile of Xi Yan came to his mind.

What the hell are you doing!

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and his expression became very gentle.

Seeing this, Erping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Qi Maosheng really didn't ask again, and when Erping came out of the house, he saw Yiping and hurriedly greeted him, and the two went out of the yard lightly, Yiping said in a low voice: "How Erping showed a relieved smile: "Lord didn't ask!" ”

Yiping looked a little hesitant: "That's it, okay?" If you know, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper! ”

Erping smiled: "Don't worry. When the time comes, Ye Yi will be happy. Where do you remember these. We did what Madame instructed, and when the time came, if there was anything unpleasant about the master, Mrs. would naturally help us speak...... Besides, Madame's concerns are not unreasonable. In that case, I deliberately chose the Autumn Festival to go to the spring, if I knew it now. I don't know what crazy thing to do......"

Yiping nodded.

Grandpa Guo attacked three states in a row within fifteen days, not only made the other Guogong Mansions tremble, but even Xizhao did not dare to let them march anymore, so he specially sent Qin to send the army to work, so that the Yan army could repair the county, and Xizhao sent people to take over the several states captured by the Yan army. While negotiating terms with Xizhao, Grandpa Guo delayed time for them to dig up all the things in these states. Despite this, there were still many generals in the army who were dissatisfied and worked hard to capture the state city. Now it's going to be handed over to Xizhao...... If it weren't for the master, who would have the ability to convince everyone, and complaining could only be kept in the heart, and let the withdrawal be withdrawn. Let's go......

When Yiping thought of this, a few drops of sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead.

What I didn't expect was that the master still had a back move, and the front hand handed over the state city to Xizhao, and the people in the back began to counterattack. Right now. Nanshan County has become a mess. Yan Jun took this opportunity to return to Hexian to repair, just in time for the winter. It turned out that I didn't dare to say it in front of my lord, but now, even behind my back, everyone doesn't dare to put a fart......

As he was thinking, he saw his personal servant standing outside the door.

Ichihei beckoned. The little servant came in and saluted, then took a letter out of his bosom.

Yiping took the letter from the little servant and tore it open while standing in the yard.

He hurriedly read a few lines and handed the letter to Erping.

The letter was written by Gu Xiyan, asking Qi Maosheng what he was doing during this time.

It's just a few words from Liao Liao, and Erping quickly finished reading it, and said in a low voice: "At this time, is it appropriate to tell the master about Madame?" ”

Yiping's tone was also a little hesitant: "It shouldn't be too important, right...... Ye also said that there will be no more troops this winter...... Anyway, I can't go back to Yongzhou for the New Year. It's better to take this opportunity to let the master meet his wife. Otherwise, the master will always have to take the time to meet his wife before he can feel at ease......"

The two of them discussed for a long time. In the end, an agreement was reached and a letter was sent back to Sanping.

Under the same sky, the morning in Yongzhou City was full of wind and snow, and the whole world was silent in the howling of the north wind and the rustling of snow.

On the top floor of the Yu Nian Pavilion, Mrs. Wei's temples are high, and the ruby pomegranate hairpin on her sideburns shines in the dim room, casting a sparkling white light on the tablets of the ancestors of the Qi Mansion.

She knelt respectfully on the garden and kowtowed three times, then straightened up, closed her eyes, and whispered with her hands folded.

The faint light shone on her face, and her expression was serious and reverent.

The hand on the silver and red cotton satin futon of Danfeng Chaoyang is as white as clotted fat, and the light cyan veins are clearly visible, revealing fragility in the quiet.

Qin Niang's eyes flashed with worry.

It may be the reason for pregnancy, Gu Xiyan's face was a little pale, and she said weakly: "You don't have to worry, I will definitely rush back to Yongzhou in time for the New Year...... I've already told you to go down, start early, slow down on the road, nothing will happen! ”

Qin Niang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally smiled: "Since this is the case, then the young lady can rest in peace...... I'll go back to Yongzhou City first. ”

Gu Xiyan instructed Xingyu on the side: "Help me send Qin Niang." There was a hint of tiredness in his voice, a little strained.

Qin Niang hurriedly grabbed Xingyu's hand: "No, no...... You just have to serve the young lady here, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”

Two days ago, Gu Xiyan asked people to bring the news of her pregnancy back to Yongzhou City, but she didn't expect that Qin Niang would bring the supplements sent by Mrs. Wei to Chunli in the evening.

Xingyu still insisted, but Qin Niang's attitude was more resolute than her, but despite this, Xingyu still sent Qin Niang to the yard. Qin Niang told Xingyu a few words like "take good care of the young lady", and saw Cuiyu walking in with two children, a man and a woman, who looked a little delicate, and the boy's expression was still a little restrained, but it was the little girl who shouted "Sister Xingyu" from afar, looking lively and cheerful.

Doubts flashed in Qin Niang's eyes.

Xingyu hurriedly smiled: "These are Mama Zhao's two children, and Mrs. specially let them come in and raise them in front of her, saying that it was a festive picture." ”

Picture a festive!

Qin Niang couldn't help but glance at the two children again.

The boys are big, and they all look like they are eleven or twelve years old, and the girls are small, and they also look like they are ** years old...... The picture is festive, firstly, it is not a twin, and secondly, the age of the child is really older......
