Chapter 220: The Aftermath (7)
Qi Maosheng smiled bitterly: "Li's doctrine? ”
Gu Xiyan nodded.
At this moment, Gu Xiyan was extremely grateful that there had been a person named Li Chaoyang in history, and she at least didn't have to tell more and more lies about the source of her thoughts.
The expression on Qi Maosheng's face gradually became solemn: "Xiyan, I know your intentions, and I will try my best to do what you ask, but you also have to stand in my position and think about it for me." Whether it is the Li doctrine or the ancient Xia culture, for me, as long as it meets my needs, I am willing to learn, accept and even emulate. But in interpersonal interactions, we must abide by what most people accept, and if we are independent, we will be excluded... Such a simple truth, with your intelligence, should be very clear..."
Gu Xiyan lowered his head.
Qi Maosheng sighed and held Gu Xiyan's hand: "Don't lose your temper anymore!" ”
Gu Xiyan let out a low "oh" and muttered, "Everything else is fine, just this matter, no!" ”
Qi Maosheng remembered that she shouted to Duan Niang, "It's better to strangle me with a rope", I don't know why, I was happy in my heart, so I laughed out loud.
Gu Xiyan raised his head when he heard this, looked at Qi Maosheng's face with a smile on his face, and immediately burst into tears.
Qi Maosheng saw that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "Okay, we have decided, except for this matter, everything else must be done according to the rules of most people." You can't mention Li Chaoyang's nonsense in front of others anymore. Okay? ”
Gu Xiyan slept beautifully, until Qi Maosheng, who came back from boxing, woke her up.
Then the two of them had breakfast with a smile and a smile.
When the grandmothers removed the kang table, Zhenniang brought Hongluan to greet Gu Xiyan.
Hongluan has improved a lot during this time. Seeing that although Qi Maosheng was a little shrunken, he no longer cried silently.
Qi Maosheng just nodded very coldly, and let Zhenniang take Hongluan away.
Gu Xiyan complained: "When you say a few words to that child, you bite your tongue." ”
Qi Maosheng looked at the gorgeous kiss marks on the back of Gu Xiyan's neck, and smiled slyly: "Didn't you bite your tongue!" ”
Gu Xiyan looked at Xia Qing, who was bowing her head and smiling, and glared at Qi Maosheng fiercely.
Qi Maosheng said with a smile: "There are only those who hug their grandchildren, how can they hold their children!" You just hold it..."
The two were talking and laughing, when they saw Duan Niang personally bring in the teacup. They all stopped talking.
Qi Maosheng drank tea, got up and went to Qinyuan.
Gu Xiyan sent him out of the second door.
turned back to the house, and saw Duan Niang looking at her with a smile: "Ye has nothing to say to you, you can't make trouble in the future." ”
Gu Xiyan stumbled off the topic and talked to Duan Niang about Qi Maosheng's worries.
Duan Niang's face was solemn and said, "Master's worry is justified. Madame doesn't know about some dirty things in the inner house... Fortunately, you don't have anything now, if you are pregnant, and let someone with a heart see the loophole, after such a cup of tea, maybe something will happen. This night, Qingxuan, is also going to be a good whole... It's just that we'll make a move, I'm afraid there will be some gossip in the future..."
Gu Xiyan was stunned when he heard this.
Why is Duanniang so sure that she is not pregnant?
The thought flashed, and she felt a little uneasy, as if something had been ignored by herself, but she couldn't say what it was, Duan Niang had already begun to chatter, and Gu Xiyan quickly left the uneasiness that flashed in her heart behind.
It can be heard that Duan Niang really wants to take advantage of this opportunity for Qi Maosheng to speak and drive Zhen Niang out. After saying a few things, Gu Xiyan didn't think it was very appropriate.
"I was afraid that Mao Sheng would trust Zhenniang too much and make a move, but now he has this. I still have something to worry about. Since Mao Sheng doesn't know Zhenniang's mind at all, why should we startle the snake. ”
Duan Niang agreed with Gu Xiyan's approach: "Also, why let her be eye-catching in front of her master..."
Gu Xiyan smiled indifferently, and called Qiu Shi to come in and comb her hair: "Let's go to Mrs. Wei's door, and by the way, ask her if there are any suitable candidates!" ”
Duan Niang smiled: "You ghost girl! ”
Gu Xiyan smiled slyly: "There are many elders in the family, where is my turn to be the master!" ”
The two went to Wei Garden, and Mrs. Wei was talking with Mrs. Zhou. I saw Gu Xiyan coming. Mrs. Zhou stood up very respectfully, and Gu Xiyan was secretly surprised in her heart. But his face did not show half a point to Mrs. Zhou's junior ceremony, and invited An to make tea.
Mrs. Zhou was quite uneasy about Gu Xiyan's politeness, but it was Mrs. Wei who said with a smile: "She is a junior, what are you uncomfortable with." Just sit down and drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea. ”
Mrs. Zhou sat down a little reservedly, carefully took Gu Xiyan's tea, and took a small sip.
Before Gu Xiyan came in, Mrs. Wei seemed to be talking to Mrs. Zhou about something, and Mrs. Wei did not shy away from Gu Xiyan, and continued the topic just now: "Then you also have to take care of the multiplication." Although we are all from an aunt, we can't be favored by him like this... In any case, she is always a serious wife, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "I know it too." But this temperament is too wrong, it's too wrong for the temper of the multitude, it looks like something, there is no temper at all, what the profanity says, it is what... What can I say as a mother! ”
When Mrs. Wei heard this, she glanced at Gu Xiyan with a smile and said, "You asked her to take Biluan and Ziluan to Songzhen Courtyard." First, I came to be a companion with Hongluan, and secondly, the two of them are concubines who are close relatives, no better than Cui's and Li's, no matter how intimate they are, they are separated by a layer. ”
Mrs. Zhou smiled gracefully. said: "Hongluan is better!" ”
"Hmm!" Mrs. Wei smiled, "I finally got down to the ground and walked, but I don't know when to speak." I'm dying of sorrow. Today is seven years old, and in two years I will talk about my mother-in-law's family, you say, she looks like this, but if she has some backbone, she won't want it, and the spineless one is afraid that she won't even have to spit out the bones if she marries in... You said. How did I end up with such an unassailable person..."
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Zhou chattered like old sisters, without the slightest precaution or vigilance.
Gu Xiyan was surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zhou a few times.
Xu felt Gu Xiyan's gaze, Mrs. Zhou turned her head and smiled kindly at Gu Xiyan, and said, "Don't worry, isn't this still a young lady?" The relatives in the family are full of praise for her. ”
Mrs. Wei's gaze fell on Gu Xiyan with a smile, and she said modestly: "She is still young, and she owes you the promotion of the elders..."
Gu Xiyan was a little surprised.
I didn't expect Mrs. Wei to be polite to Mrs. Zhou in such a proud tone.
Mrs. Zhou didn't seem to be surprised at all, and boasted a few words about Gu Xiyan. He got up and took his leave.
Mrs. Wei didn't keep much, and said to Gu Xiyan: "Send Mrs. Zhou on my behalf!" ”
Gu Xiyan lowered her eyebrows and responded, and then sent Mrs. Zhou out.
Back in Wei Yuan, Gu Xiyan asked Mrs. Wei about her daily life during this time, and quickly pulled the topic to Hongluandi: "I want to find an experienced adoptive mother for her, but there is no suitable one, you know the people in the family, so I want to find you to get an idea." ”
"It's long overdue!" Mrs. Wei nodded, "According to me, this mansion." If there is no suitable one, it is better to find it from the outside. ”
Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "It's naturally good to look for it from the outside." It's just my side... Let the master interfere, I'm afraid of ruining the reputation of the master! ”
Mrs. Wei pondered for a while with a solemn face. said: "In that case, then I'll help find one!" ”
When Gu Xiyan heard this, his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
She smiled and thanked Mrs. Wei.
The two chatted for a while about Qi Maosheng's daily life during this time, what they usually eat, what they wear, when they sleep, and when they get up, Mrs. Wei asked carefully. Gu Xiyan answered one by one softly and slowly.
Mrs. Wei nodded in satisfaction. said with concern: "Is there any movement on you?" ”
Gu Xiyan was stunned, and then she knew what Mrs. Wei was asking. She frowned and shook her head.
Mrs. Wei said in a low voice: "Or, help Mao Sheng make up for his body!" ”
Gu Xiyan couldn't laugh or cry.
Why is Mrs. Wei always suspicious of her son... With his body, he can still make up for it!
"You might as well help me make it up..."Gu Xiyan muttered quietly. Although the voice was small, Mrs. Wei still heard it clearly.
She laughed out loud and said, "Isn't there Mama Zhao by your side, doesn't she usually give you a taste?" ”
Gu Xiyan was stunned, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, and responded vaguely.
Mrs. Wei was about to say something, but Bao Niang opened the curtain and asked Mrs. Wei where she had lunch.
Mrs. Wei left Gu Xiyan for lunch, Gu Xiyan remembered Qi Maosheng, so she politely refused, but Mrs. Wei changed her normal behavior and called Bao Niang: "Let people go to Qinyuan and say that I left his daughter-in-law for lunch." ”
Bao Niang smiled and left.
Gu Xiyan was a little embarrassed.
No wonder Mao Sheng dislikes Mrs. Wei, if she continues this topic later, it will be really difficult for him to deal with it!
Despite this, she still whispered to Duan Niang a few times and asked her to go back to the pear orchard to serve Qi Maosheng.
During the meal, Gu Xiyan stood aside to give Mrs. Wei vegetables, and Mrs. Wei waved her hand: "You go to the kang and sit, I won't talk about that." ”
Seeing her sincerity, Gu Xiyan half-sat on the side of the kang and accompanied Mrs. Wei to lunch.
Mrs. Wei's meals are very light, but the oil and water are very heavy, and Gu Xiyan is not very used to eating.
After eating, Bao Niang came in with tea, and Gu Xiyan stood up and brought a cup of tea to Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei took a sip with a comfortable expression and said with a smile: "The barley and mung bean lily soup you gave me that day tastes good." Later, Mama Wang made it according to your list, but the taste was just a little bit worse..."
Gu Xiyan said flatteringly: "If Madame likes it, then I will often make some and send them over in the future." It's just that it's autumn, and this soup is not suitable, so I'll make a few soups suitable for autumn in a few days and send them to you to try and see if you like anything. ”
Mrs. Wei nodded with a smile and said, "What happened tomorrow night?" Why did you still raise an open flame? ”
In Songzhen's courtyard, cooking is in the kitchen, and it is all made of carbon, and there is no need for open fire.
The corners of Gu Xiyan's eyes jumped, and he smiled: "It's nothing." I went out to drink, and when I came back, I was a little hot and I slept a little late. ”
Mrs. Wei glanced at Gu Xiyan suspiciously.
Gu Xiyan smiled generously, so that Mrs. Wei couldn't see anything unusual.
Mrs. Wei's eyes flickered, and she suddenly said, "During this time, didn't you go to Xianji Courtyard to ask for peace?" ”
