Qi Maosheng remained silent and said with a smile: "Mother, don't say that!" Xiyan is young, ignorant, and has just entered the door, and I am still counting on you for the affairs of this family! Don't think about it in the future, but you should take care of your body with peace of mind. ”

Mrs. Xu had a heart-to-heart conversation with Qi Maosheng: "When I came to Qi Mansion back then, it was her age. At that time, your grandmother had just died, and the house was in a mess, and your grandfather proposed to let me be in charge of the house, and your father was like you at that time, thinking that I was young and had just entered the door, and was worried that I would not be able to manage it well. Although I learned to manage the house with my mother for a few days at my mother's house, I never had my own idea, and I didn't dare to take over. But as soon as your grandfather insisted, I still took it. You see, I'm not in a good position. If you don't let her try, how do you know if she can do it. Besides, now she is a hundred times stronger than I was back then, and while I am still in good spirits, I can help her on the side, so let her take over. When I was at that time, who helped me ......"

Qi Maosheng was a little tempted.

I went to Gaochang and left Gu Xiyan at home...... If she supports the family, the accounts of the two rooms are in her hands, and those relatives see her, who should not bow their heads!

Gu Xiyan entered the house lightly and walked slowly towards Mrs. Xu's bedroom, the ladies and maids in the room all lowered their heads quietly according to the rules, keeping absolutely quiet, so she could hear the conversation between the two very clearly.

"Mother's words make sense," she heard Qi Maosheng laugh. "Xiyan can get your advice. That's her blessing......" There was a hint of satisfaction in her voice.

Gu Xiyan suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in, startling the maid who was about to lift the curtain for her, and also startled Qi Maosheng, and stopped when it came to her mouth.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Maosheng frowned and asked Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "It's nothing, I was in a hurry just now." ”

Came in with the curtain lifted? Why don't you sit down with the embroidery pier yourself!

Humble Zuohu, do some small things!

However, it seems that Qi Hao has already had an idea in his heart. Otherwise, he just mentioned it, and he was a little breathless, and his tone actually revealed the joy of achieving his goal.

Mrs. Xu was contemptuous in her heart, thinking about it, but a kind smile appeared on her face: "Come, come and sit next to me." ”

Gu Xiyan sat on the side of the kang as he said.

Xu Fu took Gu Xiyan's hand and stroked her hair, with a satisfied smile in his eyes. Said: "I was talking to Mao Sheng about you just now. ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Say me?" ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded, "I'm old, and my body is not as good as a year." Later. This home will be handed over to you. You have to follow me and learn how to be a housekeeper. ”

Gu Xiyan showed a frightened look: No, no, no. Mother, I can't, I won't ...... this."

"In the future, I will be in charge of my own house", when I was in Hongtai, I had already agreed with Gu Xiyan. And during that time in Hongtai, or during this time in Liyuan, she took care of her daily affairs in an orderly manner, such a good opportunity, why not ......

Qi Maosheng was slightly shocked in his heart, but his face was silent. ==

Gu Xiyan hurriedly set his eyes on Qi Maosheng: "Master, me." I can't ......" in his eyes. Full of pleading.

Because both of them were sitting sideways beside Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu could see the expressions of the two clearly. Even if he didn't look at him, Gu Xiyan had to pretend to be scared, hoping that Qi Maosheng could understand his mind and cooperate!

In Qi Maosheng's heart, Gu Xiyan is not such a cowardly person, is there any plan to do this in front of Mrs. Xu?

His mind was spinning rapidly, and there was already an impatient look on his face: "Since she herself is unwilling, I think this matter is settled." ”

Could it be that I was wrong...... Or, Qi Maosheng now has this heart, but Gu Xiyan does not have this power...... Mrs. Xu secretly thought and said with a smile: "Xiyan, you always have to give it a try, and you will know if you can do it if you can do it......

Gu Xiyan shook his head in a panic.

The impatience on Qi Maosheng's face became even stronger, and he actually stood up: "That's it!" Mother, it's not early, you should rest early, Xiyan and I will say goodbye first. ”

Mrs. Xu didn't want this topic to end like this, and hurriedly said: "Maosheng, I'm not feeling well these days, and there must be a charter for this family's affairs." Since neither of you are willing, why don't you let Shaoqin come over and help me, what do you think? ”

Qi Maosheng was slightly stunned.

Mrs. Xu sighed gloomily: "Maosheng, for so many years, I have been holding on, and now that my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law have entered the door, it is time for me to rest." ”

Qi Maosheng was silent for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then there is Lao Shaoqin to worry about!" ”

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashing with joy.

The husband and wife supported the people around them, standing in the center of the flower garden of the Xiangxiang Pavilion and talking.

"Xiyan, she obviously found Fang Shaoqin to suppress you. If you really let Fang Shaoqin take the lead, you will have to do better than her in the future. Otherwise, the housekeepers and grandmothers at home won't obey you! ”

Gu Xiyan took Qi Maosheng's arm, leaned beside him and smiled: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." Didn't we discuss it, first deal with Hongluan's affairs, and then talk about other things. ”

"However, this opportunity is too rare......"

"Mao Sheng, Mrs. Xu said that I should learn housekeeping from her, but she didn't say that she would leave the house to me...... Among them, there is an essential difference! Besides, you tolerate Mrs. Xu everywhere, isn't that where your reputation lies? and our Shaoqin, there is also a name here! Don't worry, I can handle it. ”

Qi Maosheng thought for a moment. Figured it out too.

He was a little uncomfortable.

Yourself on this. If the earth is indeed concerned, it will be chaotic. If there was no Gu Xiyan at that time, how things would have been discovered, but it is really unclear!

He couldn't help but look at Gu Xiyan with appreciation, and reached out to scratch her nose: "What a ghost." ”

Gu Xiyan also put a lot of thought into Qi Maosheng, and naturally looked at the embarrassment he had just now, and smiled: "Women do things, there is a woman's way, you are a big man." == Even if these things are suppressed, in the eyes of others, it is just a woman for a long time, and there is no momentum. In the future, you won't get involved in all these messy things in the family......" Speaking of which, she was still a little worried that Qi Maosheng had an opinion about sending Duan Niang to Gong Tao's house to visit the twelfth grandmother of the Liu family, and was afraid that he would think that this was her distrust of his decision, so she explained, "I sent Duan Niang to Gong's house." It's also because we women talk to each other, and if there is something inappropriate, you men can also come forward and detour. lest they be pushed out against you. There is no room for talking and doing things...... Wait for Duan Niang to touch the situation, and it's not too late for you to make a decision! ”

When Qi Maosheng saw Gu Xiyan like this, he felt that half of the stone had fallen into his heart, and of course, half of the stone was worried about Gu Xiyan's compassion: "I went to Gaochang, what is the matter, discuss it with Duanniang more, and the people are unruly." When it is time to be punished, it is still necessary to be punished...... If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Mrs. Wei to ask for an idea, although it's not good, it's better practical than yours......" Qi Maosheng took the trouble to explain.

Discuss with Mrs. Wei, then I don't know what bloody things are going to happen in the family!

Gu Xiyan didn't care in her heart, and nodded very obediently.

Qi Maosheng saw her absent-minded appearance, and he didn't know how much she listened. Finally, I couldn't help but sigh.

The two of them went back to the house. After washing and going to bed, Gu Xiyan asked Qi Maosheng: "The holy decree can limit the time for you to go to Gaochang!" ”

Qi Maosheng said "um".

Gu Xiyan said: "If it is for Gong Tao's affairs, it is reasonable to postpone it for a few days." If it's for Gu, Master Gu, there's no need for this. ”

"Got it." Qi Maosheng responded in a low voice, leaned sideways and said in her ear: "Xiyan, let's only keep it for a hundred days!" ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a while before reacting.

She didn't want to guard Gu Baozhang for a day, but considering Qi Maosheng's emotions, she also said "um".

Early the next morning, Gu Xiyan took Duan Niang to ask Mrs. Xu for peace, and on the way, she told Duan Niang about yesterday's bright view of the world, and finally said: "You go for me, and you should ask clearly about some things that should be asked." ”

Duan Niang nodded solemnly and said, "I can save it." ”

The two went to Mrs. Xu's residence, who knew that Fang Shaoqin had arrived earlier than Gu Xiyan, and was waiting in the middle of the courtyard with that Mama Shi. Seeing Gu Xiyan, Fang Shaoqin hurriedly bowed her knees to greet Gu Xiyan, and Duanniang and Mama Shi also greeted each other.

Gu Xiyan took her hand with a smile and said, "Why did you come so early?" I was tired yesterday, and I need to rest today, but don't get tired. ”

Fang Shaoqin's expression was very haggard, like a fire that was gradually extinguishing, and there was no vigor of the first meeting.

Physical exhaustion does not make a person's mental condition worse.

Thinking of Wei Shiying between them, Gu Xiyan had a faint feeling that something might be wrong with her and Qi Yuzhi, but there were some things that she was not qualified to say.

Fang Shaoqin looked at Gu Xiyan's kind expression, smiled gently, and said, "Yuguan asked me to come early, saying that I can't let my aunt work alone." ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "Of course, you have to listen to your husband's words, but sometimes, you have to love yourself." ”

Fang Shaoqin was stunned, the corners of her mouth were slightly twitched, and she was about to say something, but Mama Yi smiled and opened the curtain to invite them in.

The two of them were silent, and Fang Shaoqin followed Gu Xiyan into the house.

Mrs. Xu had already gotten up, Gu Xiyan was waiting for Mrs. Xu to freshen up, and Fang Shaoqin was also helping on the side.

When it was almost cleaned up, Mama Yi came in with a decoction.

Gu Xiyan sat on the edge of the kang and fed medicine to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Didn't you say that you would let Duanniang go to Gongfu to visit the sick place today?" Xiyan, there is Shaoqin here, you can go with Mama Yi, take a look at the warehouse, and pick a few suitable medicinal materials to send. ”

Gu Xiyan was also thinking about this, and was looking for an opportunity to speak, when she heard Mrs. Xu say this, she was naturally kind and took Duan Niang and Mama Yi to the warehouse.
