"Jealousy!" Gu Xiyan was very surprised, but she didn't dare to show it when Qi Maosheng revealed his heart to her. So she paused, first helped Qi Maosheng pull up his hair, and then said softly: "Why are you jealous of Qi Xiao?" ”

It may be that in the narration with Gu Xiyan, Qi Maosheng gradually sorted out his thoughts, and his voice was a little stunned.

"So we're the same... They are all concubines, with cheerful personalities, very loved by their brothers, and they are very free and easy in their work... I married a woman from Xizhao, and he married a wife from Gaochang... But I, however, have become gloomy, but he is always so cheerful and free as he was ten years ago, whether it is uncles, brothers or colleagues and subordinates, they all like him... Willing to be close to him... It's not like seeing me, no matter what, it's a little trembling... Sometimes I can't help but wonder, if Qi Xiao inherited the title, would he do better than me..."

In the eyes of others, Qi Xiao is pitiful enough, but Qi Maosheng is jealous of him... Gu Xiyan was really a little crying and laughing.

But her heart is soft.

Gu Xiyan lowered his head and kissed Qi Maosheng's sideburns: "Fool Maosheng, why do you have to treat you as a brother!" ”

Qi Maosheng raised his head, turned his face sideways, and looked at Xiyan who was helping him comb his hair in surprise.

Gu Xiyan smiled: "Your kind of thinking is too strong." ”

Qi Maosheng raised his eyebrows.

"In public and private, you are their superior, and in private, you are their brother. But. These two identities are always opposites, and there can be no time for unity. Because there is a relationship between superiors and subordinates who are managed and managed, and this relationship is maintained by rank and majesty. And between brothers. But they are equal, and what sustains them is courtesy and fraternity... You say, how can these two reciprocal emotions exist at the same time? ”

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan slightly stunned.

Gu Xiyan smiled indifferently and continued, "Let's take the matter of you going to drink flower wine together this time. Everyone talked freely together unscrupulously, and had fun at will, if it was Qi Xiao. That's understandable. But if it were you, it would be different. Think about it, when you drink, it's peaceful and happy, and when you wake up tomorrow, look at this person, it turns out that behind the wise and martial arts, there is this face, it's not bad, didn't it be the same as me yesterday. Everyone also shook a woman's hand together... After a long time, what prestige do you have in front of your subordinates, and what position do you have in front of your relatives... Sometimes, there is no obvious separation between public and private, so you have to make a choice, whether to choose to be a good boss or choose to be a good brother based on private affairs. If you feel that business is more important, you can only keep a certain distance from your brothers; If you choose to be a good brother, then there is nothing wrong with spending a lot of money and having fun with them..."

Qi Maosheng was puzzled: "But Qi Xiao and them..."

"Why did he go to drink flower wine with his brother? Why didn't you invite the subordinates in the barracks to drink flower wine together? Gu Xiyan interrupted him with a smile. Because they are the same people, people of the same class... When they drink together, they only deepen their affection for each other..."

Qi Maosheng was silent, but there was a thoughtful look on his face.

Gu Xiyan knew that his words had a role. She smiled faintly. He poured a little hot water into the tub and took a handkerchief to bathe him.

"If you really want to have fun with everyone, you can go climbing mountains or something, riding horses or something. Whatever you choose, don't choose to find a woman to drink with... Wine is the most misleading, isn't there a saying that is called immorality after drinking? Drink a little wine at home, what's there. Also in front of the family. Others don't know. But outside, it's different... Didn't you say it yourself. I'm most afraid of the upward and downward effects, and the reputation will be ruined..."

She whispered softly, served Qi Maosheng and put on her clothes, and the two of them went to the kang.

Gu Xiyan called Cui Yu again, and asked the kitchen to make a bowl of honey water with warm water to sober up Qi Maosheng, and he spread Qi Maosheng's wet hair and twisted his hair with a handkerchief.

"Are all the girls in Dianchuntang beautiful?" Gu Xiyan said very casually.

Qi Mao was still immersed in Gu Xiyan's words just now.

This is a completely new concept for him. In the past, his father always told him that he should treat his subordinates as brothers, so that he could retain talents. But today, Xiyan said something different... When you think about it, it does make sense. is too close to his brothers, even if he is fair, there are still people who have doubts, especially those who rely on the accumulation of military merits to be promoted, there are always a few suspicions, a large part of the contradictions between Qi Xiao and Gong Tao, isn't it from this...

He was a little absent-minded: "It's so-so! ”

"What's the general law?" Gu Xiyan looked interested.

Qi Maosheng casually pulled a book from the multi-treasure grid on the side, and said: "The dancers are all about the same size, their makeup is very gorgeous, and they all look like they are all the same, and they can't tell who is who... Called a few top cards to serve, the fourth uncle seems to be quite familiar, and one of them said that it was Qingqi, but I think she seems to be quite open..."As she spoke, Cuiyu came in with honey water.

In a small bowl of white bone china, there is a golden-brown soup, which is very beautiful.

Gu Xiyan handed the small bowl to Qi Maosheng: "Sober up!" ”

Qi Maosheng looked at the bowl for a long time and said, "Why do you want to make honey water?" Why don't you make decanting soup! ”

It's not early, and it's waking up the people in the kitchen... Gu Xiyan said casually: "It's my secret recipe, made with honey water as the main ingredient, specially designed for decanting wine, you will know it when you drink it!" ”

Qi Maosheng knew that Gu Xiyan had always had some strange practices in terms of diet, so he didn't ask any more questions, and drank it all.

Cuiyu took the bowl and went out, and Gu Xiyan continued to twist her hair with a handkerchief and talk to Qi Maosheng.

"Is there anything that stands out..."

"Pretty outstanding, huh?" Qi Maosheng recalled, "It doesn't seem to be! ”

"Then how do you drink flower wine?" Gu Xiyan asked curiously.

"Just drink like that!" Qi Mao replied physiologically.

"It's not like you sit and they toast you... There's always something to show! For example, take a dice and roll a big one, whoever is smaller will drink or something..."

"You know this!" Qi Maosheng smiled, "Who told you!" ”

"I still have to be told! Drink flower wine, drink flower wine, as the name suggests! Gu Xiyan pulled his sleeve coquettishly, "Tell me, how do you all play?" ”

"Didn't play anything!" Qi Maosheng said, "The fourth uncle and they all have acquaintances, only I am going for the first time, so I called two to sit next to me, and one of them is the top brand... Qi Qu and I sang wine, and the two of them poured us wine or something..."

Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled: "Then which of you likes to frolic with those young ladies the most?" ”

Qi Maosheng groaned: "Qi Ming! We were only halfway drunk, and he and the woman got up half-pushing... Fourth Uncle may be because I'm there, I've been just hugging that woman's tune..."

"What about the third uncle?" Gu Xiyan's eyes wandered, "Third Uncle won't just sit there in a proper manner, right?" ”

"Qi Xiao!" Qi Maosheng said disappreciatively, "How is that possible?" On that occasion, sitting there stupidly is not a joke... Qi Xiao and I each hugged a young lady and drank a few glasses of wine, and then I came back, and Qi Xiao continued to hang out with them there..."

"You hugged one too?" Gu Xiyan's smile was a little stiff, "Is she good-looking?" ”

"Oh," Qi Maosheng said, "it's the top player... What it looks like... With long nails, dyed with a kind of pink nails... It's very uncomfortable to watch..."

I can even see the color of the finger polish that people are wearing... It's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable to look at, or it's uncomfortable to hold... A fire rose in Gu Xiyan's heart.

Speaking of which, Qi Maosheng remembered the scene at that time.

Wan Li is not enthusiastic enough, he feels tasteless, Wan Rui is not reserved enough, and he feels tired...

He muttered in his heart, but a strange feeling rose in his heart.

It's like... Neither is the left, nor is the right...

Qi Maosheng couldn't help but raise his head and look at Gu Xiyan in surprise.

Xiyan's face, why is it so bad... Is it that the wine has not woken up yet, but he is holding on to freshen him...

He couldn't help but whisper: "Xiyan, is it a headache..."

As for Gu Xiyan, she didn't expect Qi Maosheng to ruin other people's interest without eating or drinking on that occasion, nor was she naïve enough to think that those women would not flatter in front of him... But she didn't expect that Qi Maosheng would hug other women instead of tactfully refusing... The more she thought about it, the more the fire in her heart burned, and then she saw Qi Maosheng as a matter of course, the fire in her heart burned even more, and she raised her foot and kicked Qi Maosheng's body fiercely: "You bastard... I thought you were just going to see it, and you were still holding someone's little girl... You bastard...", his heart was sour, and he didn't know why the tears fell.

Qi Maosheng turned around and sat on the edge of the kang, and was about to put on his shoes and go down to ask Cuiyu to make another bowl of soup for decanting, when he was suddenly kicked by Gu Xiyan from the side, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell off the kang with a stumble.

Fortunately, he was agile and quickly stood on his feet and didn't hit anything.

"What's wrong with you?" Qi Maosheng frowned in bewilderment.

To put it well, why is it kicking people and shedding tears again.

"You're still asking me what's wrong?" Gu Xiyan held back her tears and glared at Qi Maosheng angrily, "I'm just a relative for a day, it's good for you, you go to a brothel again, drink flower wine, and hug other women... What's wrong with me, you're still asking? ”
