Chapter 44: Peaks and Mountains (4)

Gu Xiyan exclaimed: "Just take a look at it."

Duanniang smiled and quipped: "Otherwise, what does the girl want?" ”

It is not that the heroine of a play is named Wang Baoxun, and there is no news of her husband being a soldier for 18 years, and a large part of the reason is due to the backward information of ancient times...... In the past, I often heard the older generation of people who had experienced blind marriage and dumb marriage say, "When you lift the hijab, the bride turns out to be a pockmark" and the like. At that time, the backward information of ancient times also had a good side, everyone was less selective, and they could live a more tolerant life after marriage, but marriage was much more stable than that of modern people......

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "We can't just listen to what Jinxin said, let's just let it go......"

Duanniang's eyebrows and eyes smiled into a crooked moon: "Don't worry, girl, if you have this meaning, we will invite someone to visit them...... Besides, Jinxin is not someone else'......"

Gu Xiyan smiled silently.

There are so many maidservants, if Jinxin is really as trustworthy as Duan Niang thinks, with Mrs. Lian's shrewdness, she should be on the list of Tuogu. Since Jinxin is not within the scope of Tuogu, then Jinxin must have something that dissatisfies Mrs. Lian. Through Mrs. Lian's series of arrangements for her daughter, Gu Xiyan trusted Mrs. Lian's ability very much in her heart, since she felt bad, there was naturally something bad. What's more, Jinxin married into a wealthy family after all, although she is a concubine, but in five or six years, many things will change. She is not as optimistic as Duan Niang thinks, except for your loved ones, who will care about your life or death!

Everything went smoothly on the road that day. They arrived at Qixia Temple before lunch.

The place where they were received was a Taoist aunt who was about thirty years old, with a plump figure and a round face full of kindness, and Gu Xiyan and her party were arranged by her to settle in the "Peach Blossom Spring" at the foot of the mountain, but the courtyard where they lived this time was called "Spring Water House". It is a quadrangle-style courtyard with front and back yards, which is much larger than the last time Gu Xiyan came to live in Qilixiang.

A group of female dependents entered the second gate under the leadership of Minzhen, and the guards of the Gu family lived in the upside-down seat.

As soon as Gu Xiyan entered the house, he pushed open the carved window lattice embedded with white summer cloth, and the warm wind drifted in with a faint smell of camphor. It makes people feel refreshed and swept away the fatigue of the journey.

It's been almost a year since I've been here!

Gu Xiyan looked at the big locust tree outside the window, and couldn't help but think of the crooked neck tree outside the Xiangyu Pavilion, and the sorrow in his heart surged out little by little.

She clutched her chest and leaned against the window lattice.

What's the matter with yourself like this? Forever half-hugging the pipa and still covering his face, there is no bright day, and his back is full of overlapping shadows......

What else could it be? Do you want to shout out loud that you're a traverser? Even if it is Xiang Shaolong, the originator of the crossing land, he has confidants all over the world, and in the end, he didn't explain his past to anyone.

Is it because of this that he will look at Guiguan differently, so he will be kind to him. Help out!

After all, both men have secrets that can never be humane......

I took advantage of him to fall asleep and left him in the church and ran away secretly, and I don't know if the two of them will meet again......

After having lunch in Chunshuiju, Gu Xiyan washed up, and Minzhen brought a Taoist aunt named Minde to visit them. Computer station.

Minde is about the same age as Minzhen, very tall, with a face like a full moon, and compliments Gu Xiyan with a flattering smile: "I have long heard that the imperial concubine Niangniang has the appearance of a celestial person, and I have to see the girl today." Only then did I know that what I said was true. ”

Gu Xiyan asked Mo Ju to serve her tea, and said modestly: "You are too famous, how can you compare with the imperial concubine!" ”

Minde said with a smile: "Chunlan Qiuju, each is good at winning, the second girl doesn't have to be too humble!" ”

After a few opening sentences, Minde turned her words to the topic, she said: "Our Qixia Temple is built on the mountain, with a total of nine halls. The Lingyun Hall on the top floor is dedicated to the statue of the Great God of the Heavens. Not only is the scenery good and the air fresh, but you can also overlook the scenery of the entire Qixia Temple. I heard that the girl only stayed here for one night, according to what she saw in the poor road, it was better to invite a sedan chair up the mountain today and stay overnight in Lingyun Palace. Walk down the hill early tomorrow morning. Looking at the other eight halls one by one, what does the girl think! ”

There is a place to play. Of course, Gu Xiyan was interested, but when she thought of the purpose of their coming here, she couldn't help but look at Duan Niang and her brows frowned slightly.

Mama Tian smiled and said: "It's good that you are a people, but I'm afraid that our sesame oil money will be less, just say it." Why did you take our girl to your Lingyun Hall for the night. The last time my wife came, I was very cold. ”

"Where I dare, where I dare." Minde said with a smile, "Qixiaguan can have today's reputation, all of which are the help of nobles." There is no way to repay the poor, and every day I pray for the blessings of all the nobles. It's not that I think that the girl is rare to come once, and the view is simple, so I have to take good things to present with my heart and liver, don't get me wrong! As for this sesame oil money, giving more and giving less is to do a little filial piety in front of the great god of the heavens, where is there a reason to dislike! ”

Mama Tian quipped: "Since this is the case, then our sesame oil money will be free this time!" ”

"Ouch, look at what you said." Minde's smile remains the same, and his attitude is the same, "Give more and give less, and give or not, it is the intention of the nobles." If the girl from your house can come, we all feel that it is shining. Mama, don't stick to these little things. After speaking, he looked at Gu Xiyan with blank eyes: "What does the girl think?" ”

Mama Tian didn't give up: "Don't look at our girl with your eyes, when she came, Mrs. instructed her, saying that she donated three thousand taels of silver last time, and Aunt Siwei of your welcome hall said that the sesame oil money for this year is gone." Don't bother our family again! ”

So that's the case, Gu Xiyan looked at the two of them with interest, and felt that this folk virtue was a bit similar to the work she had done before, both of which were to deal with customers, so that Duan Niang was in a hurry to give her a look, but she didn't receive it, but was seen clearly by Mama Tian. She thought of what Mrs. Gu instructed when she came, "You watch me carefully, I don't care if they really worship God or fake God, I just want them to go safely and come back safely", Mama Tian's eyes rolled, Duanniang, if you don't agree to go to Lingyun Palace, I just want to go, no matter what idea you have, just don't let you succeed anyway.

She immediately said to Minde: "However, we are not the poor family. As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag that had been prepared long ago from the placket and handed it to Minde: "Thank you to our girl, this is our girl's private money, you took it and added incense lamps to the gods, but remember to pray for our girl's blessing every day." ”

Minde was not polite at all, and immediately took the small cloth bag, and took the opportunity to slap it, smiling more humbly.

Seeing this, Mama Tian immediately stood up and instructed Duan Niang: "Aunt Duan, I want to trouble you to clean up for the girl, let's go to Lingyun Hall for the night today!" ”

Duanniang was angry for a while: "The girl is tired from the carriage and horses all day, and she has just settled down......"

Frank and, why shirk! Mama Tian sneered in her heart, and became more determined in her thoughts, and her tone had a hint of a threatening command: "Even if Mrs. is here, I will also give Aunt Qixiaguan a few thin noodles." What's the matter, what is inconvenient about Aunt Duan? ”

Duan Niang frowned, her face was unhappy, the corners of her mouth were slightly twitched, and she was about to speak, but Gu Xiyan interjected and grabbed in front of Duan Niang and said, "Is Lingyun Hall really as good as Aunt Minde said?" Since you're here, it's worth the trip to take a look! ”

"Girl......" Duan Niang shouted, and stopped talking.

Mama Tian squinted at Duan Niang with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then please ask Aunt Duan to quickly clean up the girl's clothes." There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Lingyun Palace, and my aunt remembers to add a warm dress to the girl! ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "I know that Aunt Duan is sick and I have Mama Tian by my side to take care of me, so you can rest assured." After speaking, she instructed Mo Ju: "You follow me up the mountain, let Xinghong stay here to take care of Aunt Duan!" ”

Mama Tian faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, and she couldn't say anything wrong. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Girl, Lingyun Hall is the most magnificent hall in Qixia Temple, and it is not common in Xia Kingdom, and it is not open to the public on weekdays. Aunt Duan might as well go too, let's be a companion together. ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Why, Mama Tian is reluctant to go up the mountain, is there anything inconvenient." If that's the case, then please bear with Aunt Duan and accompany me up the mountain! After speaking, he glanced at Mama Tian and gave Mama Tian what she said to Duanniang.

Mama Tian is Mrs. Gu's roommate, and she knows more or less about the messy things in the Gu family. And this second girl was able to run away quietly when choosing a concubine, and afterwards, neither Master Gu nor the nobleman in the palace did not ask too much about it...... She didn't think it would be a little girl's foolishness. Now seeing Gu Xi smiling but staring at her coldly, her heart was shocked, and Mrs. Gu's sentence "Go safely, come back safely" came to her mind again. Yes, her responsibility is to be "safe", why make the second girl unhappy and offend people, then Mama Song Meizhi didn't die like this. She immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that Aunt Duan is sick in the carriage, look at me, I really don't know, and I hope Aunt Duan won't be surprised." Or I'll stay and take care of Aunt Duan......"

Let you stay, what else can Duan Niang do?

Gu Xiyan said in a stiff tone: "No need, Mama arranged it very properly." So be it! ”

Mama Tian showed an embarrassed smile on her face.

Plans are disrupted, but things can't be done halfway.

Gu Xiyan said to Duan Niang while the group was packing up their clothes: "Tomorrow I will go down in turn to finish the nine halls, and my aunt will act when she sees the opportunity!" ”

Duan Niang had to nod helplessly, still thinking about the blind date in her heart, and repeatedly told Gu Xiyan: "Remember, you must dress up beautifully!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded.
