Chapter 167: If It's Bright and Dark (I)

Gu Xiyan had nightmares for several days in a row, and Qi Mao was born in a proper manner, and he didn't bother her, ΝΧA. с Suddenly, from the storm to the calm, Gu Xiyan was a little unaccustomed. Looking at her somewhat confused eyes, Qi Maosheng was of course not stupid enough to explain anything, but teased her: "Look at the way Duan Niang looks at me, I can't wait to pull me off your bed, I'm really afraid that she will let me sleep outside one day." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled coquettishly: "Look at you, you still bully me and have no family, right?" ”

Qi Maosheng muttered in a low voice.

Although his voice was low, Gu Xiyan could still hear it clearly, what Qi Maosheng said was "It's good to have no mother's family." She couldn't help but laugh.

After resting well at night, Qi Maosheng was willing to coax her, and Gu Xiyan's physical and mental state were getting better and better.

Although she made a trap for Whelan at the beginning, she also knew the danger. As Qi Maosheng said, since you have made a choice, you must have the courage to bear the consequences.

Gu Xiyan slowly came out of Whelan's death, only occasionally thinking of Xinghong, she would be a little worried about her in the future.

After the snow stopped, the sun came out for a few days, then it rained for a few days, and when the sun appeared again, the wind that blew on people's faces was gone.

Gu Xiyan stood in the courtyard looking at the sun and smiled: "Spring is coming!" ”

Qi Maosheng's mood is also as peaceful as the air of this spring.

Qi Yuzhi's wedding date was set for the eighth day of the fifth month, and on March 8, Qi Jiang had already set off from Shengjing with the Fang family's escort team, and they were accompanied by the court's Qincha, who would arrive in Hongtai in early April. The Chin Cha will bring two holy decrees from the royal family. One is to order Qi Hao, the Duke of Yanguo, to build the Governor's Mansion in Gaochang and appoint him as the Governor of the Gaochang Governor's Mansion, hereditary replacement, and lead the administrative and military affairs of Gaochang. The other is the continuation of Qi Hao, the Duke of Feng Yanguo, and the Gu family is Mrs. Jingsui. Enjoy the country.

Because this news was transmitted by Yandi's spy agency in Shengjing, the number of people who know about it is very limited.

Although Gu Xiyan was one of the people who knew the news, she really didn't take it too seriously. Because of this time. Qi Maosheng's "illness" was cured, and he could get out of bed and walk around.

Looking at Qi Maosheng, who was dressed as a knight and looked sassy, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but pout: "I want to go too!" ”

Qi Maosheng was about to go out with a horsewhip, and when he heard this, he turned around and twisted her nose with a smile: "What are you going to do?" I'm going to ride a horse to show Cui Qing. Later, you have to perform the weakness of the bow, and you will lie on me and cry again? ”

Gu Xiyan said coquettishly: "Okay, one day you will take me to a spring outing!" ”

Qi Maosheng didn't answer, smiled and left.

Gu Xiyan wrinkled his nose at his back like a child.

Ay! Qi Maosheng is really, very stubborn. But. I don't seem to have much aversion to his problems. Isn't it true that all women are like this, always compromising first and giving in first......

Gu Xiyan lay on the kang and thought nonsense.

Unexpectedly, after lunch at noon, Qi Maosheng really took Gu Xiyan out for a walk.

Dressed in the clothes of a small servant, he followed behind Qi Maosheng. Walk on a secluded path behind Hongtai.

Basking in the lazy sun, Gu Xiyan walked and stopped, closing his eyes from time to time to experience the lightness of the wind blowing on his cheeks, or touching the big trees around him, looking at the buds on the bare branches and smirking for a while.

Whenever she stopped, Qi Maosheng looked back at her and waited for her quietly.

The sun shone on Gu Xiyan's face, as white as snow and as thin as porcelain. Pure white and flawless, as quiet and beautiful as pear blossoms.

Looking at her quietly like this, Qi Maosheng felt that his heart was soft.

His face showed a doting and indulgence that he was not aware of.

Before the sun faded, Qi Maosheng took her back to the courtyard.

It was the first walk between them.

There are no affectionate gestures, no warm greetings, and even peers holding hands and shoulders.

Gu Xiyan was as excited as if he had gone out on a trip.

So when Mo Ju fetched water to wash her face, she looked at the girl in the mirror who showed happiness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. I couldn't help but be stunned.

When did it start? As long as you are by Qi Maosheng's side, you will feel happy!

Gu Xiyan didn't have time to think about it. Because Ruby was still waiting to settle accounts with her in the hall.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were placed on the table, the ink chrysanthemum reported the account, and the red jade was going to be plated, crackling sound, like a knife chopping on the heart of the jade.

She tiptoed out of the house, and saw Xia Qing and another girl named Xingyu standing at the second door and whispering something in their ears, and the two of them looked like they were smiling.

She glanced towards the east room again, and through the bright glass window, she could see clearly that Mama Zhao was sitting on the kang with Aunt Duan, talking and laughing. Yunshang's little girl is kneeling behind Duanniang diligently to pinch her shoulders!

For some reason, a wave of anger rose in her heart.

Cuiyu shouted "Yan Hong" a little angrily, but no one answered, and shouted again, but heard Gu Xiyan answer in the hall: "I asked her to help Miss Duan clean up the house, what is the matter with you?" Do you want to call someone else? ”

Cuiyu hurriedly smiled and turned around: "It's nothing, I just didn't see her......"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "You go play with yours, you don't have to follow me all the time, I don't have so many rules." ”

Cui Yu hurriedly smiled: "How can there be masters and slaves who are lazy on the side, if you don't think I'm stupid, I'll also help settle the score." Speaking of which, when serving the wife of the Wei family, I also learned to plan the plate. ”

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "No, you all have your own responsibilities and do your own things well." ”

Jade's smiling face was a little stiff.

In the past few days, Gu Xiyan has made a list of examples of things that need to be taken care of at home, and then slightly divided them into a job according to his impression of several girls during this time.

Ruby took charge of the kitchen; Qiu Shi gave Mo Ju a hand, took care of the gold and silver jewelry in the house, and was responsible for combing her hair every morning. Jade with red, Xia Qing with apricot rain, the four of them served in the house in two shifts; Another little girl, Yunsheng. has become a mobile person, usually serving by Duanniang and Zhao Mama's side, when any of these girls are resting or have something. And she was on top.

For such a division of labor, even if there is an opinion, no one dares to show it, but when I hear that each person will have two days off per month in the future, except for Mo Ju. Everyone showed a very surprised expression, especially Hongyu, and said, "Let's rest, then, who cares about that errand!" ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Then you will sort out the affairs of your subordinates, when to do what to do, and who is responsible for what." Write it clearly and do things according to the charter. It's just that you go away, as long as the mother-in-law and grandmothers follow the rules, there can be no big deal, unless there is a sudden fire in the kitchen. ”

Hongyu understood after a little thought, and her face turned red. A little excited, he said, "Madam, why didn't I think of it?" Divide things into details, everyone has their own responsibilities, and if there is anything, it is easy to pursue it, and you can't take Qiao...... That's a great idea, ma'am! ”

This is process management in the management of modern businesses, and it is certainly a good idea!

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to take credit. He smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "If anyone else has any questions, you can raise them now." If there are any difficulties when the matter comes to an end, I will not break the rules and have to serve the family law. ”

In fact, what is the family law, Gu Xiyan doesn't have the bottom in his heart, so he just scares and scares a few little girls!

In addition to red jade and black chrysanthemum. Everyone looked at each other a little bit.

After a while. The little girl named Yunshang said timidly: "I, I don't dare to take care of the kitchen." The hair is also combed, and the comb is not as good as that of Sister Qiushi. ”

Yunshang is a fourteen-year-old little girl, with a thin body, white teeth and red lips, and a beautiful appearance, which looks very cute.

Kitchen affairs are not just for anyone.

Gu Xiyan nodded, and in order to encourage others to speak their minds, she immediately said decisively: "Well, I wrote it down." After Hongyu rested, let Moju manage the kitchen; As for combing my hair, as long as you do it better than me. ”

Yunshang nodded sheepishly.

Since it started, Gu Xiyan replied on the spot with a pleasant face, and everyone began to talk about their worries.

Cui Yu said: "Mrs., a person for half a day, I am afraid that the explanation is not clear, and it is easy to make mistakes, I don't think it is as good as one person for a day." ”

Gu Xiyan asked what Xia Qing meant.

Xia Qing glanced at Cuiyu coldly and said with a smile: "Sister Cuiyu was originally an errand boy in the Wei family's wife's house, and she has a lot of experience. Just follow Sister Jade. ”

The affairs of the family are decided.

Afterwards, Hongyu pulled Mo Ju: "You were brought out by your wife from your mother's house, your wife's words can be counted, and everyone has two days off every month." ”

Mo Ju smiled: "Our girl is different from others, people are eager to serve in front of them day and night, our girl is the most tired of someone in front of her, she said that she made her sad." It turns out that it is the same in my mother's house, only if I do what I am told, the rest of the time is my own. ”

Hongyu said: "Mo Ju, I think you are also a hard-working person, or you can tell your wife, let's take care of the kitchen together!" ”

Mo Ju helped pass the meal a few times, and also knew that Hongyu was a shrewd and neat person, and the abacus in one hand sounded loudly. Although he is a member of his wife's family, after all, he came in halfway, and if he can get along with Hongyu, of course he can't ask for it.

She smiled and said, "I'll take the time to mention it to my wife, and see what kind of tone my wife has!" ”

Cuiyu whispered to Yan Hong in private: "Why is it that everyone has an errand, and Miss Duan is idle?" I don't know what she did, so I let my wife be so concerned. ”

Yan Hong was so unimpressed that she said with a smile: "What's wrong with her, if we and Xia Qing are alone for a day, we can't be compared to them." ”

Jade replied with a snort.

Xia Qing pulled Xingyu and hid by the corner door leading to the kitchen to talk.

Xia Qing whispered to Xingyu: "You turned out to be married by the fourth young grandmother of the Wei family, and the things in this house are better than mine, you have to teach me well, don't be looked down upon." ”

Things in the house seem simple, but in fact they are the hardest. For example, what kind of water temperature does the master like to wash his face, and what kind of tea he likes to drink tea; Whoever comes must block it, and whoever comes must avoid it; When will the bed be made, and when will you go in after spending the night in the house...... It's all about discernment.

Xingyu remembered the gossip about Xia Qing that she heard when she was in Wei's house, and covered her mouth and smiled: "If you want to fight for this breath, I think it's better to fight for the master's bed......"

Xia Qing stared at Xingyu fiercely and said, "I'm good-looking, but it's not my fault." If I wanted to go to the master's bed, I would have stayed in the Wei family a long time ago. ”

Xingyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, why bother with this." The people who are fighting each other have either provoked the eyes of the wife or the eyes of the master......"

Xia Qing was like a deflated ball: "Is it just for me to look at the eyes of that girl in Cuiyu for the rest of my life!" ”

Xingyu said: "That's not necessarily. ”

Xia Qing looked at her in surprise.

Xingyu nodded at Mo Ju, who was talking to Hongyu: "You learn from Hongyu, rely on your own skills to eat, and whoever wears small shoes is not afraid!" ”

Xia Qing's eyes widened, as if she was looking at the person in front of her for the first time, and said in surprise: "Xingyu, you have such a mind, why don't you ......?"

Xingyu smiled lazily, interrupted her words, and said, "Don't worry, since we are divided together, it can be regarded as fate, I will, I will teach you, as for whether you learn or not, it depends on whether you have a heart or not." ”
