Mrs. Wei's words were abrupt and her tone was very unkind, but she had a bright smile on her face. [Full text reading. 】

I don't know why, Gu Xiyan felt that the cold sweat hairs all over his body stood up.

She smiled and said, "I've been going less during this time!" ”

Mrs. Wei's eyes were a little sharp, and she said, "I heard that Fang Shaoqin goes every day!" ”

Gu Xiyan meekly responded "yes".

Mrs. Wei frowned and said, "Speaking of which, Mrs. Xu's handling of the affairs of Dexin Courtyard during this period seems to be slightly different from usual. The accounts are more strictly controlled, and things are handled more fairly...... You might as well go to Xianji Yuan more often and follow along. ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Then why bother? I have an inexhaustible heart in a pear orchard now, since someone is willing to take care of me, why waste that energy...... That's good! ”

Mrs. Wei looked at Gu Xiyan expressionlessly for a long time.

Gu Xiyan was a little uneasy in Mrs. Wei's sharp gaze, but she still tried her best to remain calm, and said with a smile: "Madame, I am grateful in my heart for mentioning me like this." Speaking of which, there's something I'd like to ask you to help with. ”

"Oh!" Mrs. Wei smiled faintly, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Gu Xiyan groaned: "It's autumn, and it's about to be winter in a blink of an eye...... I was afraid that Mrs. Xu would suddenly have a headache and brain fever during the New Year, and suddenly throw the family affairs to me...... If I just talk about stewardship, I don't have anything to worry about, and I still have a few capable and decent girls sent by the Wei Mansion, I'm afraid that when the time comes, those stewards in the Qi Mansion who think they are quite decent in front of the master. I also took this opportunity to feel unwell. When the daughter-in-law is laughed at as a trivial matter, I am afraid that the three aunts and six relatives will misunderstand and say that our head of the house is not affectionate......"

The corners of Mrs. Wei's eyebrows lifted lightly, and a gorgeous smile gradually bloomed from the corners of her eyes, and her eyebrows were beautiful, making Gu Xiyan lose her mind for a moment.

"Do you want to follow me to practice internal skills?"

"Ahh Gu Xiyan opened his mouth and stammered. "Practice. Practicing internal skills? ”

Mrs. Wei nodded: "Although you are older, you are quite smart...... It takes ten or eight years of hard work, maybe it will be a little successful! ”

Ten years, eight years? A little bit of a success?

Gu Xiyan only felt that his sideburns were slightly wet and smiled: "I think I still discussed this matter, and Mao Sheng will talk about it." ”

Mrs. Wei glanced at Gu Xiyan deeply. Suddenly, he said, "You just let her in!" ”

I heard someone outside softly answer "yes".

Ever since he entered Huaiyuan, Gu Xiyan felt a little confused by the second monk. Mrs. Wei's words not only turned quickly, but also had meaning in every word......

She was just thinking about it when she saw Qin Niang walk in with a smile and a somewhat unnatural Duanniang.

Didn't she let her go back to the pear orchard to serve Qi Maosheng, why did she appear in front of Mrs. Wei like this? Could something have happened?

Gu Xiyan felt a little uneasy in her heart. But in front of Mrs. Wei, he didn't dare to come forward and ask.

Duan Niang hurriedly bent her knees to greet Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei's chin raised slightly, signaling that Duan Niang could speak.

Duan Niang didn't dare to look at Gu Xiyan and said with a smile: "Master said that he usually put a book in the Duobao grid can't find it, let me come over and ask Mrs. ”

Gu Xiyan was stunned and heard Mrs. Wei laugh out loud: "Go, go, go, this is the time for the lunch break......"

Gu Xiyan scolded Qi Maosheng fiercely in his heart. The face is hot. But he said solemnly: "Madam, then I will leave first!" "Finished. Dafang got up and saluted Mrs. Wei.

The two of them came out of Huaiyuan, and Gu Xiyan said hatefully: "Mao Sheng is messing around, and you don't let me worry...... Where am I here, isn't it making Mrs. Wei unhappy in her heart......"

Duan Niang said: "Mrs. Wei is your serious mother-in-law, and I am not unclear in my heart. But if I don't come, I'll have to come in person...... Isn't there nothing I can do? He said this, but he had a relieved smile on his face.

Gu Xiyan scolded "bastard" in a low voice.

Duan Niang lowered her head and smiled: "Mrs. Wei asked you something later?" There was a few worries in his tone.

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, and he said coldly: "Why haven't I moved yet, do you want to find someone to take a look...... I also asked if there was a ...... in the girl in the Wei Mansion that suited my heart."

Duanniang's expression changed dramatically: "Hasn't it been a year since we got married?" ”

Gu Xiyan stopped and stared at Duan Niang: "Master's age can't wait......"

Duan Niang's face flashed with anger.

Gu Xiyan said: "Aunt Duan, just tell me the truth." You and Mama Zhao live in the same room, but what's wrong with me! ”

Duan Niang hesitated for a long time before she whispered: "Yes, the master said that he wanted to wait for the girl to be older...... I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to stand the pain of childbirth......"

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a long time before he said, "Did he really say that?" His voice was a little hoarse, revealing a little disbelief.

Duan Niang nodded: "So I often advise your master to talk to you is not good ......"

Those pieces of husband and wife getting along flashed through Gu Xiyan's mind like a slide show, she burst into tears, and she was speechless for a while.

I was too careless!

Back in the pear orchard, Qi Maosheng was pacing around the room with a cold face, looking very annoyed. Seeing Gu Xiyan coming back, he said eagerly: "Mrs. Wei can embarrass you!" ”

Gu Xiyan looked at it, his brows wrinkled into a word "Chuan" on his forehead, Qi Maosheng's heart was sour.

She shook her head gently, stretched out her hand to stroke his forehead, and frowned: "Maosheng, I'm fine, don't worry." I took the initiative to go to Huaiyuan, and I wanted to ask Mrs. Wei for a favor. ”

Qi Maosheng thought for a moment and said, "Is it for Hongluan?" ”

Regarding Zhenniang's going, Gu Xiyan didn't want to reveal too much to Qi Maosheng. Because she wants to use some small means.

"It's not!" Gu Xiyan pulled Qi Maosheng to the kang to speak, and told Qi Maosheng about his worries about Mrs. Xu.

Qi Maosheng was a little surprised: "Mrs. Xu is sick, why is there no rumor about this matter at all, how did you know?" ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "Think about it, what is the situation in Peanut Hutong now, Shaoqin and Qi Yuzhi will go to Xianji Courtyard every day to greet Mrs. Xu." And not only nowadays. Moreover, Fang Shaoqin will also spend a lot of time in Xianji Courtyard. I'm going to say hello one day. I also saw a lot of grandmothers in charge waiting for Mrs. Xu to reply under the eaves, as if they had gathered a lot of things and had not done anything. I tentatively said that I was uncomfortable, and Mama Yi actually took it upon herself to let me not have to go to say hello during this time, and I asked why. Mama Yi only deduced that it was Mrs. Xu's meaning...... I felt that something was wrong at the time, so I asked Duan Yingluo to check the entry and exit of the backyard during this time. Existing doctors come and go frequently. A comparison of the two is estimated to be the case. ”

Qi Maosheng nodded when he heard this: "Then what are your plans?" ”

Gu Xiyan said: "It is impossible to hide this matter like this. Mrs. Xu has just had a stroke now, and none of them have recovered from this blow, and I believe it. As long as Mrs. Xu calms down, she will definitely make good use of this opportunity. That's why I said I wasn't sick and didn't go to Xianji Hospital to say goodbye...... I'm afraid that she will suddenly put the idea on me and create a scene in Xianjiin where I gave her a stroke......"

Qi Maosheng's gaze suddenly felt as cold as ice.

"Judging from the reaction of Xianji Yuan now, either Mrs. Xu's condition has not stabilized, and I am afraid that we will take the opportunity to take over the power of the house after we know it; Either Mrs. Xu hasn't thought about it yet. No matter what, it's already early September, if Mrs. Xu wants to kill two birds with one stone. Then you can only use it for the New Year...... borrowed illness to draw all the capable housekeepers of the Qi Mansion to Xianji Courtyard to take care of her. Then throw the mess at me. When the time comes, there will be no one. Think about what it would be like...... Even if she gives me Dexin Yuan in the future, I don't care about my reputation as a bad family, I'm afraid I won't want to turn it over in this life. ”

Qi Maosheng said puzzledly: "Isn't it just to entertain relatives during the New Year...... It won't be so serious as the bad man! ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are at home." The three aunts and six uncles all came to worship their ancestors, and they ate half their lives and drank cold, and the little maidservants who served them couldn't find ...... That's a mess! ”

Qi Maosheng thought about it and smiled: "That's really troublesome." ”

"So I went to Mrs. Wei to see if I could really get to that point, and asked the Wei Mansion to send a few capable housekeepers and grandmothers to help out." Gu Xiyan thought and said: "If there is no such thing, it is naturally clear and quiet, everyone is afraid of being afraid, but we are afraid that we will be caught off guard by such a move, and we will be beaten with our backs." ”

Qi Maosheng said: "Then do you see if there is anything I can help with!" ”

Gu Xiyan didn't want Qi Maosheng to interfere at first, but suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that really needs your help." ”

Qi Maosheng looked afraid that the world would not be chaotic: "You say! ”

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng's eager look and couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't have a good candidate to buy this piece." ”

"Huh?" Qi Maosheng was puzzled and said: "The materials in our house are all sent from the designated Zhuangzi, and they will not be any worse......."

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "It's not bad, everything is unsatisfactory, but there is an essential difference!" ”

"You're afraid they'll be shoddy!"

"Hmm," Gu Xiyan nodded, "It's estimated that it won't be much worse if it's shoddy." I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Mrs. Xu will connive at her subordinates to exchange the inferior for the good, and when the time comes, you just want to find the one who took the lead in making trouble, and you won't be able to find the head of Xianjiyuan. ”

Yes, there are few housekeepers in Qi Mansion who don't have long eyes. At that time, as long as Mrs. Xu is lax in the warehouse management, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the heart to exchange the inferior goods bought on the market for good goods......

Qi Maosheng nodded straight and said, "That is to say, I want to take out another sum of money to buy New Year's goods again......"

In ancient times, the market was closed in small years, and the market did not open until October of the first lunar month.

Gu Xiyan covered his mouth and smiled: "Even if you have money, you have to have a place to buy it." ”

Left is neither right nor right...... Qi Maosheng didn't bother to think about it, and leaned on the pillow diagonally: "You can finish it all at once, see what I can do?" ”
