Chapter 235: Wind and Rain in All Directions (5)

Qi Maosheng was secretly surprised in his heart, although his face was unhappy, but the corner of his eye couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan's face turned pale.

Gu Chaorong is really dead...... Died in the political struggle...... But let Cui Baoyi travel thousands of miles from Shengjing to Yandi, and asked Qi Maosheng to help her fulfill a last wish...... What else is there besides politics...... Now that she is dead, it means that what she has done has failed, why should she involve Qi Maosheng......

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan stood up suddenly.

In the quiet room, Gu Xiyan stood like this, and the sound she made attracted the eyes of Qi Maosheng and Cui Baoyi to her side.

In front of Cui Baoyi, Gu Xiyan wanted to be a good wife according to the standards of three obedience and four virtues, and she couldn't spill Qi Maosheng's face.

She glanced at Qi Maosheng and said respectfully, "Aunt Cui, I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”

Cui Baoyi nodded slightly.

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to go far and went into the inner room.

Mrs. Wei sat cross-legged on the kang, and had changed into a bright red armor, with a peony pattern with a large bowl mouth woven all over her body, flashing purple and blue in the bright light, looking precious and luxurious.

Bao Niang thought that she had heard the movement, and as soon as she saw Gu Xiyan coming in, she hurriedly went to the small lacquer plate and came out, poured two cups of hot tea and handed them to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan couldn't take care of much, hurriedly saluted Mrs. Wei, took the lacquer plate and went to the outer room.

Taking advantage of the effort to serve tea to Qi Maosheng, she whispered: "Don't be embarrassed about my business!" ”

Qi Maosheng raised his chin slightly.

Cui Baoyi is close, and he is a person who has practiced internal skills, his ears and eyes are clear, and he hears it clearly.

She raised her eyebrows slightly. said bluntly: "It seems that if Grandpa Guo doesn't know what I brought, I'm afraid that it won't be so refreshing for us to talk to each other." ”

As he spoke, he got up and took out a half-foot-long scroll from his arms, loosened the rope, and gently unfolded the scroll in the direction of Qi Maosheng.

Gu Xiyan saw that Qi Maosheng's face had changed drastically.

Cui Baoyi saw this. A faint smile. With a quick movement, he put away the scroll.

"In this world, there is only one of them." After speaking, he pinched the scroll in his hand.

The slender fingers, the white back of the hand, and the green tendons raised by the exertion are clearly visible.

Such a threatening action actually made Qi Maosheng compromise after a moment of hesitation: "Miss Cui, please speak!" ”

Cui Baoyi did not show joy or disrespect because of this, she said modestly: "Grandpa Guo." It's really about my net worth and life, and it's rude. Also look at Haihan. ”

Qi Maosheng smiled: "What did Miss Cui say?" You are entrusted by others, loyal to people, Qi is too late to admire, where is there any reason to blame. Qi is just a little worried, Qi is short of money, and he is afraid that he will be entrusted by the imperial concubine......"

Cui Baoyi glanced at Gu Xiyan meaningfully, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine asked Grandpa Guo to help her kill Mi Ji, and this thing is the reward......

Kill Mi Ji!

That Mi Ji, who once had a marriage contract with Gu Xiyan?

Qi Maosheng is such a calm person. Hear this request. couldn't help but be stunned: "Mi Ji, did the Maritime Affairs Department lift Mi Ji?" ”

Cui Baoyi nodded.

Requirements for Gu Chaorong. He had imagined countless kinds in his heart, but he never thought that he would kill Mi Ji?

Mi Ji has always been her right-hand man, and now ...... Is it understandable that Gu Chaorong's death is closely related to him?

Thinking of this, Qi Maosheng couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan was also taken aback, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Could it be that Gu Chaorong's death has anything to do with Mi Ji......

Thinking of this, her gaze couldn't help but fall on Qi Maoshengdi.

The eyes of the husband and wife collided with one in the air.

Qi Maosheng suppressed the question in his heart, and said with a little carelessness: "Mi Ji...... That's the court official......"

Cui Baoyi smiled indifferently and said, "Grandpa Guo, Ming people don't say codes." If the Imperial Concubine didn't trust you, she wouldn't have let me risk my life to come to you. Speaking of this, she paused, "Moreover, the imperial concubine also promised to give me something as a reward......

Accidents one after another, Qi Maosheng smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what the imperial concubine asked me to send you as a reward, as long as someone Qi can do it, he will do his best!" ”

Such a statement is a tacit consent to Gu Chaorong's request.

Cui Baoyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The imperial concubine said that the second girl has a key by her side......"

Not to mention Gu Xiyan, even when Qi Maosheng heard it, a look of surprise flashed on his face.

Key? Why did you mention the Bing key again?

Gu Xiyan looked at Cui Baoyi suspiciously.

Cui Baoyi had a frank attitude and said, "The second girl doesn't need to be suspicious. I'll tell you the truth. During the Li Dynasty, in order to implement the "Shuowen Interpretation of Characters", Li Chaoyang once ordered to destroy the ancient Chinese writing classics. The Gu family was a favorite of the Li family, and they also had some unique books that were very precious at that time...... The stainless steel chest in the cellar of the house contained these allusions...... I have no ill intentions, and if I take it for myself, I just hope that I can borrow it in my lifetime...... Second girl, please believe me, I, Cui Baoyi, do what I say, I am by no means the kind of perfidious villain, otherwise, Sister Ling would not have entrusted me to give her a will! ”

But there is no key in my hand......

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but glance at Qi Maosheng.

Who knew that Qi Maosheng said: "In this case, Xiyan, you go to Aunt Duan and bring the key!" ”

Gu Xiyan thought that Qi Maosheng was procrastinating, so she went to the eaves unhurriedly and called the girl to invite Duan Niang, and returned to the house to help Qi Maosheng and Cui Baoyi refill a cup of tea each.

Qi Maosheng chatted politely and kindly with Bao Yi: "Did Miss Cui even go back to Xizhao overnight?" ”

Cui Baoyi nodded and said with a smile: "Hmm." I also promised the imperial concubine. stayed in the Gu family for ten years and supervised Gu Panxi's schoolwork. ”

Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan were both shocked.

Cui Baoyi smiled: "This is also a win-win for me. Panxi is a smart child, when I go to Gufu, I can read books to my heart's content, do learning with peace of mind, and I can also pass on what I have learned. ”

The two said a few words, and Duan Niang rushed over.

She saw Cui Baoyi. Taken aback.

Qi Maosheng said very neatly: "The imperial concubine is dead." Miss Cui was ordered by the imperial concubine to get the key...... I've said yes! ”

Duan Niang's body shook, and she grabbed Gu Xiyan's hand: "What, what?" Big girl, she, she's ......"

Gu Xiyan saw Duanniang's sad appearance, her eyes were wet, and she nodded.

Duan Niang stood for a long time. He sniffed, holding back the tears that were about to overflow. Choked up and said, "Wait a minute." I'll go get it. ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be stunned.

Didn't you say last time that you didn't have a key, how could it be......

Gu Xiyan had a bitter smile on his face.

Duan Niang, what the hell are you doing!

After a while, Duan Niang turned around and handed the key to Qi Maosheng.

The key was silvery-white, with a flat and slender body and irregular curves on both sides.

Qi Maosheng took the key and handed it to Cui Baoyi, who was also very happy. handed the scroll to Qi Maosheng. said: "Grandpa Guo can let people take a closer look and see clearly." I'm leaving. ”

Qi Maosheng didn't postpone it, and said, "Since that's the case, Aunt Cui, please wait." As he spoke, he called Bao Niang out to serve Cui Baoyi.

Although Bao Niang looked calm when she came out, she bowed her knees very respectfully and bowed to Gu Xiyan, and then stood behind Gu Xiyan with her hands down, during this period, Gu Xiyan got up to refill Cui Baoyi's tea, but Bao Niang came over with tea before Gu Xiyan got up......

Gu Xiyan didn't feel anything, but Duan Niang couldn't help but glance at Bao Niang, who was unusually and smiled politely at Duan Niang.

Cui Baoyi went to Gu's house to be a teacher for Gu Panxi, although Gu Xiyan felt that it was inappropriate, but this was arranged by Gu Chaorong before his death, and Cui Baoyi did have real talent and learning, and he had no reason to object, so he asked Duan Niang to open the treasury and take a few precious inkstones from Qi Maosheng, and asked Cui Baoyi to bring them to Gu Panxi, and sincerely asked Cui Baoyi to take care of Gu Panxi.

Gu Xiyan sat with Cui Baoyi for more than an hour, Qi Maosheng turned back, and behind him, he was followed by Erping, who was holding a box.

His face was a little solemn, but with Gu Xiyan's understanding of Qi Maosheng, she saw Qi Maosheng's inadvertent flickering excitement.

Cui Baoyi stood up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, if there is no other command, I will leave." ”

Qi Maosheng nodded: "Miss Cui, thank you for running thousands of miles for Qi's family affairs, a little consciousness, not respect!" ”

As he spoke, Er Ping handed the box in his hand to Cui Baoyi.

Cui Baoyi didn't refuse, and said "thank you" and took it in his hand.

The two exchanged a few words, and Erping sent Cui Baoyi out.

Looking at Cui Baoyi's back, Gu Xiyan's composure just now flew out of the Nine Nights Cloud at once, and she sat on the chair behind her with her legs a little weak.

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan's slightly tired face, then rubbed her hair, and said, "Let's go back to the pear orchard!" ”

Gu Xiyan also had a lot of questions in her heart to ask Qi Maosheng and Duan Niang, Huaiyuan is indeed not the place to speak, she nodded, got up and stood up, and was about to pull Qi Maosheng to ask Mrs. Wei for peace, but Bao Niang on the side said with some embarrassment: "Young lady, Madam said, if you finish speaking, let you go to her room to sit down, she has something to say to the master and the young lady." ”

Got something to say?

Since they got married, this is the first time that Mrs. Wei has taken the initiative to find them!

Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng looked at each other and entered the inner room.

Mrs. Wei was still sitting cross-legged on the kang, and when she saw them coming in, she said "sit" lightly.

Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng saluted Mrs. Wei, and then Qi Maosheng sat on the kang half-sideways, and Gu Xiyan stood beside Qi Maosheng with his hands down.

"Bring a stool to the young lady!" Mrs. Wei commanded lightly again.

Gu Xiyan had never met such a polite Mrs. Wei, and she couldn't help but secretly beat the drum in her heart, not knowing what Mrs. Wei was going to say to them.

Qi Maosheng estimated that he was also a little unaccustomed to it, so he glanced at Gu Xiyan with his eyes.
