Gu Xiyan felt sour in his heart when he heard this.

She looked at Qi Maosheng's face like a knife and axe, she didn't know whether she was convincing herself or reassuring Qi Maosheng, and said categorically: "Don't worry, I will do this early tomorrow morning." ”

Qi Maosheng nodded lightly and said, "I'm tired." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly.

It's as if everything that needs to be said has been said.

There was a brief silence between the two, and the moonlight shone in obliquely, coating everything in the room with a layer of silver-white, looking quiet and peaceful, just like Gu Xiyan's mood at the moment.

Qi Maosheng's clear eyes flashed hesitation, he lowered his eyelids unnaturally, and said softly: "Then I'll go first, you and the Liu family will inform me when you have negotiated." After speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiyan to answer, he turned around and opened the window on the side and jumped out.

Gu Xiyan was stunned for a long time, then slowly climbed onto the bed and lay quietly, only to feel that this room was so tall and empty, he was so lonely and lonely, and the atmosphere was so cold and gloomy...

The next day, before dawn, there was movement in Duanniang's house, Gu Xiyan knew that Duanniang was preparing to go to Qixiaguan, she called Mo Ju over: "You take advantage of the time to go to Aunt Duan's outer courtyard to pass the carriage and horses to Deacon Ding for me, urgent, don't avoid any suspicion..."

Mo Ju went suspiciously.

Nevertheless, by the time Deacon Ding arrived at Beyuan, it was already noon.

As soon as he arrived, Gu Xiyan asked straight to the point: "Is there a problem with the Liu family's business in Yandi, and what is happening now?" ”

Deacon Ding didn't understand what she meant. said vaguely: "The seventh master just saw that I had been in the capital for so many years, so I just wanted to make a move, and I don't know the specifics..."

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Don't give me sloppy eyes, I won't embarrass you." So be it. You go and bring a letter to the seventh master, I have a good way here, if he is interested, he can come here, if the matter has been almost done, forget it. ”

Deacon Ding answered. Immediately went to Ranin.

He was originally from the Liu family, and he was a very shrewd person, although he had been on an errand in the Gu family in the past few years, he always liked to go to the Lan Courtyard when he had nothing to do, and contact some of the shopkeepers of the Liu family. Usually when someone in Jiangnan enters Beijing, he will entertain him hospitablely, and he likes it very much from top to bottom, and during this time, he has been on a few errands in front of the seventh master, and as soon as Deacon Ding enters the door, a small servant runs over and whispers to him: "The third master is here." The seventh master is accompanied. ”

Deacon Ding was stunned: "Is the head of the family here?" ”

The little guy nodded.

Deacon Ding immediately became excited.

The second girl in Gu Jiadi is not a simple character, if there is really any way as she said, then she...

Deacon Ding hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and whispered to the little servant: "Si'er, you quietly went to invite the seventh master to come out, saying that I have something urgent." ”

The little maid who called Si'er answered and immediately ran towards the inner courtyard.

Deacon Ding stood in front of the wall shadow and waited, staring at the orchid painted on the wall for a moment.

Guiguan and a hundred years have not been found until now, as if they have disappeared from this world. I guess I can't find it... I guess I started over in a place where no one knows the past... It's okay, this matter has become a big thing and a small thing... I only pity myself, I was beaten a few boards by Master Gu, not to mention the injury, and I lost a lot of face... I have to think of a way to behave well in front of the Seventh Master, it is best to go back to the Liu family, at least better than in the Gu family...

When he was thinking about it, Si'er had already hurriedly ran out: "Brother Ding." The Seventh Master told you to go quickly! ”

Deacon Ding flicked his shirt and quickly followed Si'er into the hall of the main house of the Orchid Courtyard.

In addition to Liu Zuocheng and Wang Shun, there was also a tall fat man sitting in the hall, his appearance was very ordinary, his dress was also very ordinary, and his whole body was full of harmony, which made people feel good at first sight. I feel that this person is soft-hearted and kind to talk. He is Liu Sanduo, the current head of the Liu family.

Deacon Ding respectfully knelt in front of Liu Sanduo and kowtowed three times in a row. Liu San was busy personally picking him up: "Family, what kind of gift." Sit down. Sit down. ”

Because there was no other person next to him, the big shopkeeper Wang Shun personally brought a chair and put it next to Deacon Ding, which startled Deacon Ding, but he also vaguely understood in his heart that the matter of Yandi had not been dealt with yet.

Liu Zuocheng said with a smile: "Yiming, there are no outsiders here, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Ding Zhi asked Si'er to pass the word in advance because he was afraid that Liu Zuocheng would misunderstand and think that he wanted to take the opportunity to behave in front of the head of the family, but now that he had what he said, Deacon Ding naturally relieved himself and said Gu Xiyan's words to the people present without missing a word.

Wang Shun sat there and looked at his nose, as if he hadn't heard, while Liu Zuocheng glanced at Liu Sanduo anxiously.

Liu Sanduo groaned slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, Zuo Cheng, you can go in person." ”

Liu Zuocheng got the words, and immediately stood up and said goodbye to Liu Sanduo, and took Deacon Ding to the Gu Mansion, just in time for lunch, Deacon Ding smiled and said, "It's not too late for the seventh master to go to Mrs. for lunch and see the second girl." ”

Liu Zuocheng smiled and said, "Let's go to the second girl first!" ”

The two of them arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate one after the other, and the mother-in-law who watched the door recognized Liu Zuocheng, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with a smile, but he didn't mean to stop them at all, and watched them enter the inner courtyard.

When he arrived at Beyuan, Deacon Ding stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was Mo Ju who answered the door.

She was stunned when she saw Deacon Ding, and Deacon Ding hurriedly smiled: "The second girl ordered us to come." ”

Mo Ju also recognized Liu Zuocheng at this time, and she smiled and said, "Uncle and deacon, etc., I went to give the girl." Then he slammed the door shut.

Deacon Ding showed an embarrassed smile and explained to Liu Zuocheng: "Seventh Master, the girls are small and ignorant..."

Liu Zuocheng sighed and said, "This is the rule of a high-ranking family!" ”

Deacon Ding was stunned. I don't know how to answer. Say yes, isn't that saying that Mrs. Gu is not strict with her housekeepers, saying no, isn't that saying that the second girl is flying and domineering... He was in a dilemma when the door creaked open again. Mo Ju said with a smile: "The girl invited the two of you into the house to drink tea." So saying, he opened the door and welcomed them in.

It was the first time for Liu Zuocheng to go to Beyuan, so he couldn't help but take a look.

The yard is not big. The layout is also ordinary, but it makes people feel very tidy, and the places are cleaned up, but because of this kind of excessive cleanliness and tidiness, it makes people feel that the atmosphere in this room is cold and alienated.

When they entered the hall, Gu Xiyan was already waiting there, and after greeting each other and sitting down to serve tea, Gu Xiyan said euphemistically to Deacon Ding: "Deacon Ding, my aunt in the house went to Qixiaguan, and there is only one Moju in the house. She's rude, and I'm asking you to help me look at the portal. ”

Deacon Ding knew that this was to avoid himself, so he went out with a smile, and when he found that Mo Ju also followed him out, his face felt better, and the two of them stood in the middle of the courtyard and chatted about family life, of course, mainly Deacon Ding was talking, Mo Ju was still quite hostile and wary of him.

Only Liu Zuocheng and Gu Xiyan were left in the hall. Liu Zuocheng smiled kindly, but looked at Gu Xiyan with a very serious look in his eyes, looking like he was listening quietly.

She took a sip of tea lightly and said with a smile: "Seventh Master, let me tell you a story!" ”

Liu Zuocheng said very sincerely: "Girl, please speak." His eyes were solemn, and he didn't despise Gu Xiyan because he was a person who was two years younger than him. This reminded Gu Xiyan of the boss of his company, who also paid so much attention to details and never sloppy.

Gu Xiyan settled down and told him the story of Lu Buwei and Yiren.

Liu Zuocheng listened to Gu Xiyan unhappily and finished talking about the accident. smiled and said: "Girl, this matter is too important, please allow me to return to the head of the family and then reply to the girl." ”

"Of course." Gu Xiyan smiled and nodded, "Although I am a relative, I can only wait for the seventh master for two hours." I'm not the only one who can tell this story. It's not just the Seventh Master who can understand it..."

Liu Zuocheng's eyes flickered. smiled kindly: "Heh, the girl's kindness has been received by our Liu family." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and got up to send Liu Zuocheng and Deacon Ding out of Beyuan. Then Ran Moju had lunch.

Duan Niang and Xinghong were not at home, and the house seemed empty and deserted. Gu Xiyan said to Mo Ju: "I've been busy all this time, the purse that Mama Zhao gave me is just embroidered with a leaf, and today while we are free, we might as well do needlework." ”

Mo Ju smiled and found the rattan basket, and the two of them sat on the big couch by the window and embroidered their purses.

In less than a short time, someone knocked on the door of Bebeen.

Gu Xiyan's heart was stunned, his hand was tight, the embroidery needle was pierced on his finger, and a bead of rice and earth blood immediately bloomed, Mo Ju hurriedly dropped the embroidery work in his hand and took Gu Xiyan's injured finger in his mouth and sucked it, spit out the bloody saliva and said, "Girl, does it matter?" ”

Gu Xiyan looked at his fingers and was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Go and see, who knocked on the door." ”

Liu Zuocheng also came with Liu Sanduo. As soon as he entered the house, he said with concern: "I heard that the second girl has an ankle injury, is it better?" I have a bottle of Sanqi Sansan, which is filled with Di Xiang Ju, which is a good herb that lives and dissolves blood, I brought a bottle to the girl, you can use it to try, if it is good, I will have someone send it again..."As he spoke, he really took out a palm-sized blue porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Mo Ju.

Hearing the sound and knowing the elegance, Gu Xiyan immediately knew that this was Liu Sanduo, the head of the Liu family.

While thanking Liu Sanduo, she motioned for Mo Ju to take the porcelain vase, and at the same time got up from the couch to salute Master Liu.

Master Liu pressed her: "Second girl, don't." "Insist on not letting her get up.

Gu Xiyan postponed it for a while, and hurriedly asked Mo Ju to serve tea to Master Liu.

After a period of chaos, everyone sat down to drink tea, and Master Liu looked at Gu Xiyan with a smile, his eyes were auspicious and auspicious, like an old grandfather looking at his granddaughter: "Second girl, I heard that you told a story to the seventh master, I was very interested in listening to it, I don't know..."

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "The old man has traveled south and north all his life, whether it is or not, it is up to you to judge!" ”

Master Liu smiled kindly: "Since the second girl said so, I will also ask for a big one, and we will meet..."

Gu Xiyan muttered: "I have to probe my breath first, and I will go back to you tomorrow morning." You know, although it's stormy outside, there are quite a few people busy handing out umbrellas..."

Old Man Liu's smile flashed with cunning: "Shengjing is not an imperial city, I really didn't expect that there are many people who are icing on the cake, and there are many people who send charcoal in the snow!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "So, support the bold, starve the cowardly!" ”

Master Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a sharp light: "The girl is really a cool person!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled sweetly: "This is your old lifting me." ”

Master Liu smiled and said solemnly: "Then please leave everything to the girl!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "You can always think about it carefully, this is an arrow that has opened the bow and has not looked back!" ”

Master Liu made a detailed look and looked bright: "Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth." ”
