"Even if that's the case," Gu Xiyan was still a little skeptical, "Didn't Mrs. Ye still give birth to Qi Hongluan later?" ”

Liu Mei'er looked around, leaned over to Gu Xiyan's ear and said in a low voice: "Don't you know, when Mrs. Ye was pregnant with the third girl, she lay on the bed all day to protect the fetus, and even had sores on her back..."

Gu Xiyan gasped: "Sores on your back?" ”

Liu Mei'er nodded seriously: "It's true, I didn't lie to you." At the beginning, my mother secretly invited Aunt Gao from the spring to show her illness... Even now, my mother still goes to Miss Gao every Spring Festival to pay New Year's greetings in person. My aunt was also very often, and my mother gave her a lot of rewards. ”

Gu Xiyan's heart is full of flavors.

Ye Shisu, a gentle and delicate woman like a delicate flower shining on the water and a weak willow supporting the wind... At the age of twelve or thirteen, he married alone from the prosperous Shengjing to the cold and snowy Yongzhou, the rich and noble family of the minister, full of flowers, and a group of servants, but a pregnant woman had sores on her back... Ye Shisu, what kind of life did you live in the Yanguo Mansion?

Qi Maosheng, where were you at that time, and what did you do?

Gu Xiyan was very puzzled.

What the hell is going on?

"Sister Gu, Sister Gu!" Liu Mei'er shouted to Gu Xiyan with a sudden expression, "Are you scared by me?" ”

Hearing Liu Mei'er's concerned words, Gu Xiyan quickly reined in his thoughts and said with a smile: "There is a little. ”

Liu Mei'er smiled and comforted her: "Anyway, we won't marry that person, and nothing will fall on you and me." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly and changed the topic: "Dexin Courtyard, is it the house where Mrs. Ye lives?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Mei'er said, "The wife of the Yanguo Mansion lives in Dexin Courtyard, and the side ladies live in Gongshun Courtyard. My aunt has been living in the Gongshun Courtyard. ”

"What about the third master's biological mother?"

"Oh. You mean Mrs. Zhou! Liu Meier said, "It turns out that I also live in Gongshun Courtyard." It's just that my aunt lives in Huaiyuan on the east side of Gongshun Temple. And Mrs. Zhou lives in the Banyan Garden in the north of Gongshun Courtyard. Later, after the grandfather of the country continued the title, the two brothers separated. Qi Sanye opened a mansion in Garlic Miao Hutong, not far from Yanguo's mansion, and Mrs. Zhou naturally followed her son. Mrs. Xu moved into Xianji Courtyard, but Grandpa Guo has never had a concubine, and her aunt has been living in Huaiyuan, the place of Gongshun Courtyard, and has not moved. ”

"Don't you have a concubine?" Gu Xiyan muttered.

"yes!" Liu Mei'er was also very depressed, otherwise, how could she send to Hongtai like a young lady in the restaurant, "He's a weirdo." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled lightly.

This is what I know Qi Maosheng will do!

"The Yanguo Mansion is very deserted." Liu Meier said listlessly, "It's okay to say in the front yard, especially in the back house." Several other courtyards were closed. It's frighteningly empty. At night, there are a few dim lights. It's like a ghostly fire..."

Gu Xiyan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Have you seen it?" ”

"Of course." Liu Mei'er said, "Every time I go to Yanguo Mansion, I accompany my aunt to live in Huaiyuan, and I am always very unaccustomed to it. Not only are there few people, but all of them have straight faces and walk without sound. No one dares to tell you anything... Fortunately, I will go back to Chengzhou right away. Speaking of this, she thought of Gu Xiyan, she was about to go to the Yanguo Mansion, and couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyan worriedly: "Otherwise, I'll tell my aunt after you go to see your aunt, and you follow me back to Chengzhou." Anyway, we already have a Wei Shiying in our family. I don't care if there's one more of you. ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't laugh or cry at her innocence. Curiously asked, "Wei Shiying?" Who? ”

Liu Mei'er pursed her lips: "I am also from the Wei family in Dongxi, but I am a distant uncle with us." ”

It seems that Liu Meier doesn't like this cousin very much.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Then wouldn't your family have another place to eat?" ”

Liu Mei'er was a little embarrassed: "Look at what my sister said." Sister Shiying has never liked to play with me. You went, just in time to be my companion. ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "I can't say anything about this!" ”

"Yes." Liu Mei'er's face was full of understanding, "It's always bad without my aunt's consent." ”

If Mrs. Wei really sent herself to Liufu in Chengzhou, Qi Maosheng... Will it be crazy?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but smile affectionately.

Over there, Qiu Gui polished the ink, and Liu Mei'er said another article about the technique of embroidering tree branches, Gu Xiyan wrote them down one by one, and halfway through the writing, Liu Mei'er couldn't help it, and took the pen in her hand: "I'll write it, according to you, how much paper is not enough." ”

Also, the font thickness is different, some are large and some are small, and it is really not formed.

Liu Meier wrote a beautiful hairpin flower, which is very beautiful.

Maybe it's the capable who work hard, and the final situation has become Liu Meier's self-talk.

Gu Xiyan sat absentmindedly on the kang and studied the handkerchief with the pattern of the red peony: "I don't know when I will learn to embroider a purse?" ”

"Sister Gu!" Liu Mei'er raised her voice, "It's okay for you to concentrate a little." I'm writing something for you! ”

may be because she is familiar with Gu Xiyan, her voice is a little pampered, but it is not annoying, she only feels cute.

Gu Xiyan smiled indifferently: "I have a good memory." When you wrote it and when I started memorizing it, I'll be familiar with it in a while. ”

"You!" Liu Meier reluctantly put down the pen and shook her hand, with helplessness in her tone, and said coquettishly: "My hands are sour." ”

"How so." Gu Xiyan was unmoved, "Your handwriting is so good-looking, you must have practiced weekdays." These words are a small consciousness for you. Liu Mei'er glared at Gu Xiyan speechlessly.

It's a pity that people are too beautiful, their eyes are too soft, and they are not lethal at all.

Qiu Gui covered his mouth and smiled on the side.

It's okay like this, Miss Gu's trouble, at least the girl is no longer worried.

The atmosphere in the house became cheerful and warm.

Different from the cheerfulness on Gu Xiyan's side, Qi Maosheng's atmosphere here is very dignified.

He was talking to a middle-aged scribe in his thirties. Fair ground appearance, elegant facial features. Graceful and unhurried gestures.

His name is Dingzhi Han, and Qi Maosheng is the most important strategist. It can also be said that he is Qi Maosheng's true confidant.

Qi Maosheng's face was a little solemn: "Did you find out what Yuzhi was doing in Shengjing?" ”

Dingzhi Handi's face was not easy: "He is investigating the whereabouts of Ye." ”

Qi Maosheng's eyes narrowed. Shoot a gaze as sharp as an eagle.

"Xizhao's whereabouts in June 299." Dingzhihan added, "At that time, the master was settling in the Qixia Temple. ”

"Isn't that where you are now?"

Dingzhihan replied with certainty: "No"

June of the year 299. After five years of preparation, it was the day he set to send troops to Gaochangdi. At the same time, he heard the news of Ye Shisu's death. At that time, Fang Shaoqing was a guest in Yandi, and he was gone... So he personally chased after him, to determine how much Fang Shaoqing knew. Who knew that he saw Ye Shisu. In a fit of rage, he smashed the courtyard called Xiangyu Pavilion. In order to ensure that the news of sending troops to Gaochang would not leak, he asked Fang Shaoqing to voluntarily detain four of them in his designated place on the condition that they would not be held accountable for elopement

Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, what does Qi Yuzhi want to investigate?

Qi Maosheng's face was cold.

Some of the words he had heard before came to his mind.

He glanced at Dingzhihan coldly.

Dingzhihan lowered his head and was rubbing the jade ring between his middle fingers. It was as if he hadn't noticed his movements.

Qi Hao is like a giant, but he is the shadow behind him. Yandi's spy organization, the plan of the campaign in the past five years, the plan for Gao Changguo... I've said so much. I know so much. If you're smart, you shouldn't meddle in his backyard anymore.

Ding Hanzhi made up his mind and lowered his head.

Qi Maosheng saw that Ding Han had been silent for a long time, so he naturally knew his scruples.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs, but his family affairs have not been smooth. Now he is going to marry a little girl who is only fourteen years old, and I am afraid that he will have to worry about everything in the future.

Come to think of it. He couldn't help asking, "Gu Baozhang, what do you think?" ”

Of course, Ding Hanzhi didn't know why he asked about this person, but he didn't have to worry about what kind of attitude Qi Hao should have when he asked about the inner house, and he was still very willing to talk about this topic. He pondered, trying to find a more appropriate word to portray this person.

Qi Maosheng couldn't wait: "What, it's hard to conclude?" ”

"Yes." Ding Hanzhi smiled bitterly. "You say he's doing nothing. He is also the only champion of Xizhao who has three yuan and the first; You say that he is a rich learner, but he has no academic achievements; You say he's a man. He also camped in the middle of the court, flattering; You say that he is aiming for the temple, and he doesn't know the depths of anyone who dares to take it... Take this time the court is preparing to set up the Gaochang Governor's Mansion in Gaochang, the Empress Dowager originally belonged to Cui Qing as the governor of the Gaochang Governor's Mansion, and he knew that Cui Qing was a well-known anti-Gu party, so he even posted it alive and dead. To be honest, I really sighed for the imperial concubine. ”

"Oh!" Qi Maosheng looked very interested.

Ding Hanzhi said with a smile: "I have carefully studied the way the court used troops against Wujun City in the past fifteen years. In the first few years, the court lost troops every time to gain a little, since Xizhao 294 years Gu Shi on behalf of Kunning Palace to participate in the deployment of household army food, horses and grass, the Liangdi Governor's Mansion has changed a lot of the battle situation of Wujun City, especially in the years when Zuo Xiaoyu served as the deputy marshal, the whole battle was won, and it was an overwhelming victory, so that the people of Wujun City heard that Zuo lost his soul, that is, the heavy snow in Xizhao 298, the people of Wujun City did not dare to send troops to Horseshoe Bend... I really don't understand, how could the court transfer Zuo Xiaoyu back to Shengjing this time. And Zuo Xiaoyu's behavior was even more strange, he actually married the Gu family. In the past few years in Liangdi, he has been steady and cautious in his use of soldiers, and he is low-key, and it can be seen that he is not a person who is in a hurry at all. I always felt like there was something we didn't understand. ”
