Chapter 254: Bright Flowers (4)

Everyone followed Gu Xiyan out of the door with some confusion, and saw Brother Sheng standing holding the pillar of the verandah on the side, and his nurse Mama Zhang was standing a few steps away from her, and kept waving to him: "Come, Brother Sheng, come to Mama."

Brother Sheng looked forward to it, but he didn't let go.

The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth curled.

Brother Sheng has been working for a month this year, which is the age to learn to walk. Aunt Gao's courtyard is gradually higher, so there are trapezoidal verandahs with railings between the courtyards, when Brother Sheng first came, he grabbed the railing every day and walked around, he fell two days ago, and now he grabs the pillar and refuses to let go.

Seeing Gu Xiyan and them, the maid beside Brother Sheng bent her knees and saluted, and as soon as Brother Sheng's mouth was flattened, she began to cry, and Mama Zhang hurriedly hugged Brother Sheng in her arms.

When Liu Mei'er saw it, she frowned and frowned, and said, "He is still young, and it is ...... to teach slowly."

Mama Zhang hurriedly lowered her head and answered "yes".

When Brother Sheng saw it, he stretched out his hand and cried for his mother to hug him.

Liu Meier held the child in her arms and coaxed him for a while, and when he stopped crying, she handed it over to Mama Zhang and went to the kitchen with Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan persuaded her in a low voice: "A loving mother is a loser, you still have to let go!" ”

Liu Meier smiled: "You are not a mother, when you become a mother, you will know......"

Before her words fell, her personal mother kept glancing at Liu Mei'er.

Liu Mei'er didn't have any consciousness at all, and continued: "As soon as I saw him crying, it was like losing my soul, and I couldn't wait to show him my heart and liver, and I just begged him to stop crying......

Gu Xiyan laughed.

A very important reason why she likes to be with Liu Meier is that Liu Meier never treats herself as a "patient" or a "Duchess of Yanguo", and she can say whatever she wants. Do what you have to do and feel comfortable.

The group went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen were a few servant women brought by Gu Xiyan, everyone was sitting on the pony talking, laughing and cooking, and when they saw Gu Xiyan coming in, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted her. One of the women stepped forward and smiled, "The custard is on the cage, and it will be fine right away." ”

Ever since Gu Xiyan lived in Aunt Gao's yard, Aunt Gao had instructed Hongyu. She eats egg custard with deer antler powder and cordyceps every day, saying that it is a good medicine for conditioning a woman's body, and Liu Meier also secretly tasted it while Aunt Gao was away. That taste. It's really not good, so as soon as she heard it, she smiled at Gu Xiyan a few times.

Gu Xiyan didn't care, just take medicine.

She searched in her mind, found a recipe for braised abalone, and told Hongyu to listen to it, and asked Hongyu to try to make it, while she and Liu Meier sat under the vine trellises in the middle of the courtyard and drank tea.

Liu Mei'er drank green tea, but Gu Xiyan drank hot ginger tea brewed with boiling water.

The shade of the trees is like an umbrella. The breeze is blowing, and the eyes are far away, the blue sea and silver sand.

Gu Xiyan sighed pleasantly.

There is no greater paradise on earth than this.

If Mousheng can be around, it will be perfect.

Thinking of Mao Sheng, Gu Xiyan was a little stunned.

On the fifth day of her journey from Yongzhou to Chunli, Xizhao's holy decree arrived, allowing Yandi to have 8,000 troops, but it was necessary to send 6,000 cavalry to Liangdi. Cooperate with Xizhao to attack Liangdi. Qi Maosheng set off on the third day after receiving the holy decree...... Two days ago, I received a letter from Qi Maosheng, only a few short words "Everything is fine, please don't worry", and I don't know whether it is really "okay" or fake "okay".

Pondering. Gu Xiyan felt that someone was abducting her with her hands.

She looked up and saw Liu Mei'er beside her pointing to the hand-copying verandah on the side and said, "Yanhong is helping Aunt Gao sort out the medicinal materials again." ”

Gu Xiyan took the opportunity to look at it, and saw Yan Hong struggling to carry a bamboo basket and go to the side to put herbs in the verandah.

Although Aunt Gao's courtyard is spacious, there are only two grandmothers who are over sixty years old and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old janitor to serve her, so after Gu Xiyan moved in, she took over Aunt Gao's housework, and sent Cuiyu and Yanhong to Aunt Gao's side to serve her daily life. Because of the relationship between Cuiyu, Gu Xiyan was a little alienated from the two of them, and she used Xingyu and Yunshang a lot. Jade is well aware. Yan Hong was confused. I don't know what the two of them did badly, and they were idle like this. Now Gu Xiyan sent an errand to her. She is naturally doing her best, hoping to recover the disadvantage she is now in, so no matter what she is doing or not, she happily helps Aunt Gao to do something, and Aunt Gao also likes this diligent little girl very much, and when she shouts Yanhong, she is more than when she shouts jade.

Liu Mei'er naturally didn't know these things, she saw Yan Hong, who was flushed with force, and said with a smile: "I think, this Yan Hong is about to become Aunt Gao's personal maid!" ”

Gu Xiyan naturally understood Yan Hong's mind a little, she smiled faintly, and said, "Little girl, it's okay to do more!" ”

As the two were talking, they saw Mama Zhao walking in with Aunt Gao in her arms.

Gu Xiyan and Liu Mei'er hurriedly stood up, invited Aunt Gao to sit down under the vine trellis, and called Xingyu to serve tea to Aunt Gao.

Aunt Gao took advantage of the apricot rain to serve tea and looked at Gu Xiyan.

Crystal clear skin, pink cheeks, rosy lips, as delicate as flowers blooming in the spring breeze.

Aunt Gao couldn't help but nodded, and asked Mama Zhao to take the pulse pillow out to check Gu Xiyan's pulse.

Everyone looked at Aunt Gao with bated breath, and when she withdrew her hand, Liu Mei'er immediately said with concern: "What's wrong?" ”

Aunt Gao smiled: "Well, the pulse is very peaceful. ”

Everyone smiled with relief.

Mama Zhao took the pulse pillow, and Aunt Gao said to Gu Xiyan with a smile: "I have to go out for a long time these days, and the young lady here, what medicine should I take, what things I should pay attention to, I will write it on paper, and when the time comes, the young lady will just act according to the order." ”

Heading for a long trip? At this time? Could it be that Mama Zhao should take care of her alone......

She suppressed a trace of annoyance in her heart and said with a smile: "Auntie, you are old, what's the matter." It's the same if we are told to do it! ”

Aunt Gao smiled: "I want to see someone, how can this matter be replaced!" ”

"It's better to invite someone to your house, it's the same!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile.

Liu Mei'er also helped on the side: "Yes, auntie, you are so old, and you are still running around...... I don't know who asked you to go to the clinic, such a big shelf! ”

Aunt Gao looked at the two of them and showed a loving smile: "This is what was originally agreed...... For the sake of the young lady. That's why it's been delayed to today's ......"

Seeing Aunt Gao's gentle persistence, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but groan: "Since that's the case, you can't help but bring Yanhong to serve by your side...... She was young. I'm also relieved to be nimble. ”

Aunt Gao hurriedly said: "No, no, there is only Mama Zhao by my side!" ”

Mama Zhao also followed?

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and there was sincerity between her words that she didn't even know: "Speaking of which, when you go to the doctor, Mama Zhao is naturally the best helper." But in this daily life, Yan Hong should be nimble! ”

Aunt Gao pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Then I will thank the young lady!" ”

A few days after Aunt Gao left, it was the Autumn Festival. Yongzhou and Jiufeng respectively sent people to her and Liu Mei'er to send moon cakes and fresh melons and fruits, especially in Yongzhou, there are many fruits that Liu Mei'er has never seen and heard of, and it is said that they are all tribute from Gaochang.

Everyone tasted strange fruits and talked about today's Autumn Festival. When they listened to Siping. When several big families in the spring held lantern festivals and lion dances in the town during the Autumn Festival this year, they couldn't stop the excitement in their hearts and looked at Gu Xiyan with blank eyes.

Gu Xiyan smiled at the eager faces, naturally being kind and flowing. Promised to enlarge the family vacation that night and let everyone go out and have a good time.

For a time, the courtyard was full of joy, and a cheerful atmosphere of longing for the festival was permeated everywhere.

On the night of the Autumn Festival, the small spring changed its previous quietness, with bright lights, loud voices, bustling crowds, and laughter. Very lively.

Gu Xiyan and Duan Yingluo sat on a wonton stall near the corner and ate wontons. Not far away, Liu Meier was holding Brother Sheng to buy lanterns in front of a lantern stall.

Centered on them. Standing scattered around were the guards of the Qi Mansion.

originally thought that he would be as happy as Xingyu and them, but who knows, in this noisy and lively night, he just feels more lonely.

Maosheng, I don't know if it's good? There are also Duanniang in Yongzhou and Moju who married Sanshui, in previous years, they were always together......

Gu Xiyan looked boredly at the excited crowd around her.

Someone is talking about current events.

"I heard that the grandfather of the country personally led 60,000 iron horsemen, and it only took 20 days to step on the five prefectures of Fengzhou, Xinzhou, Chunzhou, Gaozhou and Kangzhou, which belonged to Shannan County of Liangdi, into flat land, killing 100,000 enemies, so that the Liang people were terrified......"

"You're wrong, it's not twenty days, it's ten days, it only took ten days for Grandpa Guo to level Shannan County......

"Ten days?" Some people don't believe it: "Impossible, right?" ”

"What am I lying to you for? If you don't believe it, you go and ask Liu Yuanwai...... Because of this, several big families in the spring today are holding lantern festivals...... It is said that the city of Yongzhou is more enthusiastic......"

Gu Xiyan, who listened to their gossip, was stunned all of a sudden.

Two days ago, I wrote a letter saying that he was supervising the battle in Hexian, so why did he suddenly spread the news that he personally led 6,000 people to the front line immediately......

"Sister Duan, Sister Duan," Gu Xiyan pushed Duan Yingluo beside her in a panic, "You help me call Siping...... I'm going to ask ......"

Duan Yingluo was also a little surprised when he heard the discussion of the group of people.

Seeing Gu Xi's bewildered expression, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, maybe it's a rumor...... I'll go find Siping and ask! ”

Gu Xiyan nodded in a trance. Duan Yingluo moved Gu Xiyan and let her sit closer to the corner, and said, "You wait a while, I'll go and talk to Guard Li......"

Gu Xiyan nodded, Duan Yingluo got up and walked towards Escort Li who was standing under the tree, the two said a few words, Escort Li nodded, his eyes fell on Gu Xiyan's body, and Duan Yingluo left.
