Chapter 69: Restlessness
Mo Ju lay quietly on the couch, looking at Gu Xiyan's bed, supporting her ears and listening, until Gu Xiyan breathed peacefully, she dared to turn over gently. γLatest chapter reading. γ
What should I do?
Today's night duty must be deliberate by Xinghong, she must want to sleep with Huilan and whisper some whispers, and Huilan will definitely instill some rebellious words to Xinghong.
Mo Ju was anxious in her heart, and she couldn't help but turn over a few times in a row.
"Can't sleep!" In the quiet moonlight, Gu Xiyan's sweet voice like honey sounded softly, as quiet and beautiful as a flower blooming in the night.
Mo Ju hurriedly said: "Noisy girl!" β
"No, no." Gu Xiyan said softly, "I can't sleep either." β
Mo Ju said softly, "Girl, do you want to pour you a cup of tea?" β
"No, you don't." Gu Xiyan stopped her.
Mo Ju couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Speaking of which, the girl is really a very good person to get along with. Usually, if you can do anything by yourself, you can do it yourself, and there is no shelf at all, and it is very easy to talk and treat people kindly, and occasionally there is something that goes wrong, and I will not shoot at them in a temper, and I am also very generous...... It would be good if she could follow her for the rest of her life, eating and wearing a lot of clothes, and being kind to each other, although she was often asked to do some strange things, she could also faintly feel the importance of these things to the girl, and she could also feel the girl's reliance on her......
Mo Ju was preoccupied here, and Gu Xiyan didn't make a sound on his side.
There was a stagnant silence in the room.
After a while, Gu Xiyan said: "Mo Ju, you said that when a person dies, will you give his dream to someone he trusts the things he cares about the most?" There was a lot of melancholy in his tone.
Mo Ju's words swirled a few times in his mouth before he spoke: "I don't know." My parents died before I could understand it, I was raised by my brother, I don't know what they look like, and they didn't come to my dreams......"
There was silence in the room again.
After a long time, both of them sighed in unison.
Maybe it's the reason for the quiet night. Perhaps it was in this sigh that she found a feeling of sympathy, and Mo Ju asked Gu Xiyan bluntly, "Girl." Is Whelan really going to come into our house? β
Gu Xiyan said abruptly: "Yes! β
Mo Ju disagreed: "She is so old, and the girl still asks Ya Pozi to buy a few small ones, so that she can discipline some ......."
Gu Xiyan was silent. Mo Ju could feel the softness of Gu Xiyan's breath, and he didn't get angry because of it. She hesitated a little and said in a deep voice: "The girl doesn't know yet, she is a big person, and she said some inappropriate things to Xinghong......"
Gu Xiyan smiled lightly, and in the silent night, it hit Mo Ju's ears like thunder.
Mo Ju knew that she was getting more and more arrogant, and she panicked. Busy said: "But the girl has always been very assertive, I am worried about Xinghong......" "I know." Gu Xiyan said softly: "You just have too much to think about." I don't care what you do to others, don't do this to me in the future. β
Mo Ju didn't know whether this sentence was positive or negative. He muttered in response and stopped talking.
Gu Xiyan smiled: "Mo Ju, you just have to do what I tell you to do." There are some things I know. But thank you for allowing you to say such things today, so I'm afraid Whelan didn't just say something inappropriate! β
Mo Ju really didn't know what to say this time. If it is deep, I am afraid that it will affect Xinghong, and it is shallow. I'm afraid that the girl will not be satisfied. I had to mumble again.
The two spent a short summer night in silence.
Gu Xiyan's ankle was injured, so it was naturally impossible to go to the boating place, so Huilan told Gu Xiyan to use straw grasshoppers to play with Xinghong, and cleaned up the grass collected from Xiuhe Garden for later use. Gu Xiyan chatted with Hui Lan while learning to weave grasshoppers: "The daughter of the Duke of Liang who married the fourth prince is the first girl in their family?" β
Whelan folded the grass into a corner. said: "Grandpa Guo and his wife are very harmonious. There are no concubines. There is only one son and one daughter in the family, both of whom are grandchildren. The eldest is a daughter. is the son who married the fourth prince, named Zheng Yan, who entered the sect five years ago and accompanied the prince to study. β
"What about the Jin Kingdom's family, is there a son who goes to school in the sect?" "The Duke of Jin Guo only took the title last year, and he is only twelve years old this year, and he is not married yet."
"What about Yan Guogong?"
"It's too remote for them to cross the river. But I haven't heard of anyone studying in the sect. Whelan smiled, "I don't know much about how the girl asks about these things. β
Gu Xiyan carefully folded the grasshopper in his hand and smiled: "Isn't Yan Guogong going to Beijing to offer prisoners, I'm a little curious." β
"I heard that the Gaochang Congress sent the two princesses to the palace, but I don't know who the emperor will give them to?" Hui Lan also came to be interested, and discussed with Gu Xiyan in a low voice: "There are just two nobles in the palace, and the emperor is not very clingy to the people of the harem, do you say that you will reward the princess to the prince!" β
This is the pain of war.
In the end, the noble princess could only be sacrificed as a tool for survival.
Gu Xiyan was a little stunned.
Xinghong smiled on the side: "Maybe it will be rewarded to Yan Guogong?" Didn't he break the Gaochang Kingdom? The emperor always has to reward him more. β
Whelan smiled mysteriously and said a little ostentatiously, "That's not the ground." I heard my aunt say that Yan Guogong broke the court of Gaochang Kingdom, and I didn't know in advance that Yan Guogong entered Beijing to personally sacrifice prisoners, which was also required by the court...... I don't know if the court praises or depreciates him! β
Gu Xiyan looked a little lonely and asked curiously, "What kind of person is Yan Guogong?" β
Huilan said: "I only know that there are twenty-five or six-year-old years old, and when the former Yanguo Duke has no son-in-law, he has grown up in the Yanzhou military camp and is very capable of fighting. β
Gu Xiyan had a bad feeling: "Then whose family is the wife of Duke Yan Guo?" β
Hui Lan smiled: "She is the eldest daughter of the Ye family of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, but I heard that she died of illness last year!" β
Gu Xiyan's hand tightened when she heard this, and the grasshopper that had not yet formed was pinched and deformed by her.
Xinghong shouted softly: "Girl, you use your hands a little harder!" β
Gu Xiyan looked at the grasshopper in his hand angrily and threw it to the ground as if he was angry: "Don't do it." It's annoying to death in small pieces! β
What else does Xinghong say. Whelan hurriedly pulled the sleeve of his apricot red ground and said with a smile: "Why don't we go out to sit with the girl." β
Gu Xiyan closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow: "You guys, I want to rest alone!" β
Everyone lightly packed their things and went out. Gu Xiyan opened his eyes at this time.
Damn Qi Maosheng actually lied to her. What is "Yan Guogong's second son" is simply himself......
Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan hurriedly took out the private seal from under the pillow.
In the Qixia Temple, he went to worship the original god of the heavens with a history of 1,500 years, and this cylindrical jade medallion was carved with a very meaningful ancient Xia character "granted...... Is it really that simple and just a private chapter?
"The son of a daughter can't sit down". Why did he take the risk of coming to Shengjing in person?
Did the court know his identity, so they hunted him down, or was it just a coincidence?
What if this plan to leave the city fails, and the prisoner sacrifice ceremony at that time?
Will the two families tear their faces and face the court to use this as an excuse to use troops against Yandi?
and that Qi Yuzhi Qi Maosheng knew that he had a solemn expression when he appeared in Qixia Temple. Could there be something hidden in this?
There are countless possibilities in Gu Xiyan's heart, and Gu Xiyan, who is tormented one after another, is about to go crazy.
In the next few days, Gu Xiyan's mood was not very good, he looked in a trance, he spoke upside down, and he would keep a straight face for a little thing, and Beyuan fell into a tense and solemn atmosphere again.
At this moment, Liu Zuocheng suddenly came to visit Gu Xiyan.
Thinking of the common secret between them, Gu Xiyan rushed to his head with all his thoughts.
Liu Zuocheng is very calm. After entering the house, she branched out of the way, and the people around Gu Xiyan whispered to her, "What other ways do the girl and that person have to contact her?" β
Gu Xiyan suppressed the surprise in her heart and smiled: "I only met through other people's introductions. β
Liu Zuocheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.
Gu Xiyan was shocked and asked, "But what happened?" β
Liu Zuocheng hesitated for a moment and said, "That man thought of a good way, and everything went smoothly at the beginning. But then ...... But the man is missing! β
Gu Xiyan's heart was beating wildly. He spoke with a little gasp: "What does it mean that someone is missing?" β
Liu Zuocheng's face was solemn: "We found a bereaved household. In the name of the relatives of the bereaved family, I quietly sent a coffin to the funeral, for fear of attracting people's attention, I only sent a caring nursing home, disguised as a relative to send the funeral family to the funeral, and the funeral family went out of the city smoothly, but on the way to Qixiaguan, all the people who were buried were ...... All were killed...... My nursing home is also ......."
Gu Xiyan's hands and feet were cold: "Have you checked the coffin?" β
Liu Zuocheng said: "At that time, passers-by reported to the officials of the local government and opened the coffin on the spot to check whether there was a ......."
The two looked at each other.
The first thought that came to Gu Xiyan's mind was that Qi Maosheng had been caught.
For a while, her hands and feet were cold, and she felt that there was a breath blocked in her chest, which made her heart ache.
If it is manifested, it should be revealed when it is out of the city......
Could it be that Qi Maosheng's people came to pick him up and then to the mourners...... Extinguish!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan felt that his breathing was a little easier.
But how can this be said and Liu Zuocheng said that he had just died, and an intimate nursing home said an inappropriate analogy, which is more frustrating than losing money in business.
After a short silence, Liu Zuocheng said: "Originally, we made an appointment with that person, but now not only is the person gone, but when we went to Qixia Temple as promised, we didn't wait for the person who came to contact...... he looked at Gu Xiyan gloomily.
In his eyes, Gu Xiyan broke out in a cold sweat.
Now it's a big deal!
The people are gone, the trade is lost, now it's time to find a middleman!
Gu Xiyan is influenced by the modern management model, and pursues the "ask responsibility system", and now that something happens in her hands, she will naturally come forward to solve it. She smiled wryly: "I want manpower." β
Liu Zuocheng nodded: "The girl just commands." β
At dusk, the people of Liu Zuocheng's faction arrived, it was a young woman about thirty years old, dignified in appearance, and her actions were as agile as flowing clouds, she smiled and bowed to Gu Xiyan, and called herself "Ding Cui Niang".
Gu Xiyan didn't want Duan Niang to worry about introducing Ding Cuiniang to Duan Niang, but she only said that the Liu family sent her to do some rough work. Duan Niang believed that it was true, and thought that she was introduced by the Liu family, and the accompanying mother took a good test of her female art.
Afterwards, she shook her head at Gu Xiyan in private: "I don't think so." That Ding Cui Niang can't do anything else except for her strength. β
Gu Xiyan teased: "I think it's good." In case you get into a fight with your aunts, this is a good helper. provoked Duan Niang to stare at her fiercely, Gu Xiyan couldn't help laughing, but when she turned around, she saw Ding Cuiniang standing by the door, looking at her dignifiedly. Gu Xiyan smiled and raised her eyebrows at Ding Cuiniang, and a hint of a smile appeared on Ding Cuiniang's slightly serious face.
