Chapter 241: Dark Willows and Bright Flowers (4)

Everyone followed Gu Xiyan out of the door with some confusion, and saw Brother Sheng standing there holding the pillars of the veranda beside him. His wet nurse, Madam Zhang, stood a few steps away from her, and kept waveing ​​to him: "Come, Brother Sheng, come to Madam."

Brother Sheng looked around and just didn't let go.

Gu Xiyan's mouth curled up.

Brother Sheng is one month old this year, and he is the age to learn to leave. Aunt Gao’s courtyard is gradually getting taller, so there are trapezoidal veranda between each courtyard. When Brother Sheng first came, he grabbed the railings and walked everywhere every day. He fell two days ago, but now he holds the pillar and refuses to let go.

Seeing Gu Xiyan and the others, the maids beside Brother Sheng bowed their knees, and Brother Sheng slapped and started crying. Madam Zhang hurriedly hugged Brother Sheng in her arms.

When Liu Meier saw this, she frowned and said, "He is still young, just teach him slowly..."

Madam Zhang quickly lowered her head and replied, "Yes".

When Brother Sheng saw this, he stretched out his hand and cried and asked his mother to hug him.

Liu Mei'er held the child in her arms and coaxed her for a while. When he stopped crying, she handed it over to Madam Zhang and went to the kitchen with Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan whispered to her: "A kind mother defeats her son, you should let go!"

Liu Mei'er smiled and said, "You are not a mother. You will know when you become a mother..."

Before she could finish her words, her personal nanny kept winking at Liu Mei'er.

Liu Mei'er had no self-consciousness at all and continued, "When I saw him crying, I felt like I had lost my soul. I was eager to show him the heart and liver, just begging him not to cry again..."

Gu Xiyan burst into laughter.

A very important reason why she likes to be with Liu Mei'er is that Liu Mei'er always regards herself as a "patient" or "Madam Yan's Duke", saying whatever she should say and doing whatever she should do, making people feel comfortable and comfortable.

The group went to the kitchen.

There were several maids brought by Gu Xiyan in the kitchen. Everyone was sitting on the small pony letter talking and laughing. When they saw Gu Xiyan coming in, everyone stopped their work to salute her. One of the women came forward and smiled and said, "The egg custard is in the cage, it will be fine soon."

Since Gu Xiyan moved into Aunt Gao's yard, Aunt Gao ordered Hongyu to use deer antler powder and Cordyceps sinensis as egg custard every day, saying that it was a good medicine to regulate a woman's body. Liu Mei'er even took advantage of Aunt Gao's absence to taste it. The taste was really not great, so when she heard it, she smiled at Gu Xiyan a few times.

It doesn’t matter to Gu Xiyan, she just treats it as taking medicine.

She searched in her mind, found a recipe for braised abalone and told Hongyu to try it, and she sat under the vine rack in the middle of the yard and drank tea with Liu Meier.

Liu Mei'er drank green tea, but Gu Xiyan drank hot ginger tea brewed with boiling water.

The shade of trees is like an umbrella, the breeze is blowing, and the blue sea and silver sand are seen from afar.

Gu Xiyan sighed comfortably.

This is the paradise on earth.

If Maosheng could be around, it would be perfect.

When Gu Xiyan thought of Maosheng, he felt a little sad.

On the fifth day from Yongzhou to Chunli, Xizhao's imperial edict arrived, allowing Yandi to have 8,000 troops, but six thousand cavalry needed to be sent to Liangdi to cooperate with Xizhao to attack Liangdi. Qi Maosheng set out on the third day after receiving the imperial edict... He received Qi Maosheng's letter two days ago, with only a few words "Everything is OK, please don't worry about it". I don't know if it is really "okay" or a fake "okay".

While thinking, Gu Xiyan felt someone crutching her with her hands.

She looked up and saw Liu Mei'er beside her pointing at the clapper corridor beside her and said, "Yanhong is helping Aunt Gao organize her medicinal materials again."

Gu Xiyan looked at it and saw Yanhong struggling to carry a bamboo basket, stretching into the warehouse where herbs were placed next to herbs.

Although Aunt Gao's courtyard is spacious, there are only two nannies over 60 years old and a 15- and 6-year-old guard guard around her. So after Gu Xiyan moved in, she brought Aunt Gao's housework and sent Cuiyu and Yanhong to Aunt Gao to serve her daily life. Because of Cuiyu, Gu Xiyan was apart from both of them and used Xingyu and Yunshang more. Cuiyu knew it well, but Yanhong was confused. She didn't know where the two did not do well and was idle. Now that Gu Xiyan sent her an errand, she naturally did her best, hoping to recover the disadvantage of being at a disadvantage now. So no matter whether it was an internal or external task, she happily helped Aunt Gao to take care of her. After a while, Aunt Gao also liked this diligent little girl. When she called Yanhong, she became more and more popular than when she called Cuiyu.

Liu Mei'er naturally didn't know these things. When she saw the bright red face flushed due to her force, she smiled and said, "I think this bright red is almost becoming Aunt Gao's personal maid!"

Gu Xiyan naturally understood Yanhong's thoughts. She smiled faintly and said, "It's okay to do more at the little girl's house!"

As the two were talking, they saw Madam Zhao helping Aunt Gao walk in.

Gu Xiyan and Liu Mei'er stood up quickly and asked Aunt Gao to sit under the Tengluo stand, and asked Xingyu to serve Aunt Gao.

Aunt Gao took advantage of the time when she was tea on Xingyu, and looked at Gu Xiyan.

Crystal clear skin, pink cheeks, and rosy lips are as delicate as flowers blooming in the spring breeze.

Aunt Gao couldn't help but nodded and called Madam Zhao to take the pulse pillow for Gu Xiyan to take the pulse.

Everyone looked at Aunt Gao with a breath of breath. After she stopped, Liu Mei'er immediately said with concern: "What's going on?"

Aunt Gao smiled and said, "Well, the pulse is very peaceful."

Everyone smiled with relief.

Madam Zhao took the pulse pillow, and Aunt Gao smiled and said to Gu Xiyan: "I will go out for a long trip these days. I will write down what medicine should be taken and what should I pay attention to when the young lady is here. At that time, the young lady will just act as a single person."

Want to go out for a long door? At this time, can't Madam Zhao take care of her alone?

She suppressed the irritation in her heart and smiled and said, "Aunt, you are old. If you have anything to do, you will ask us to do it!"

Aunt Gao smiled and said, "I want to treat someone, how can I replace this matter!"

"It's better to invite someone to your home, the same is true!" Gu Xiyan smiled.

Liu Mei'er also spoke from the side: "Yes, aunt, you are so old, and you are still running around... I don't know who asked you to go to the clinic, you are so arrogant!"

Aunt Gao looked at the two of them and showed a loving smile: "This was what I had made an appointment... It was for the young lady's business, so it was delayed to this day..."

Seeing Aunt Gao's gentle persistence, Gu Xiyan couldn't help but ponder: "Since that's the case, you can't help but bring Yanhong to serve her... She is young and smart, so I feel more at ease."

Aunt Gao hurriedly said, "No, no, just have Madam Zhao beside me!"

Madam Zhao will follow her too?

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and she didn't know how to be sincere in her words: "Speaking of this, when you come to the clinic, Madam Zhao is naturally the best helper, but in this daily life, Yanhong still needs to be quicker!"

Aunt Gao pondered for a while and smiled and said, "Then I will thank Mrs. Young!"

*******

A few days after Aunt Gao left, it was the Autumn Festival. Yongzhou and Jiufeng sent people to send mooncakes and fresh fruits to her and Liu Meier, especially in Yongzhou. There are many fruits that Liu Meier and the others have never seen and never seen. It is said that they all came from Gaochang for tribute.

Everyone was tasting strange fruits and talking about today's Autumn Festival. When they heard Siping say that several wealthy families in the spring would hold lantern festivals in the town this autumn festival and dance lions, they couldn't stop their excitement and looked at Gu Xiyan with eager eyes.

Gu Xiyan smiled at the longing faces, and naturally followed the good deeds and promised to take everyone's vacation that night and let everyone go out for fun.

For a moment, the yard was full of joy and a cheerful atmosphere of longing for the festival.

On the night of the Autumn Festival, the little spring changed from its quietness. The lights were brightly lit, the crowded people were bustling, and the laughter was very lively.

Gu Xiyan and Duan Yingluo were sitting at a wonton stall near the corner of the wall and eating wontons. Not far away, Liu Meier was holding Brother Sheng and buying lanterns in front of a lantern stall.

With them as the center, Siman Lingling stood scattered with the guards of Qi Mansion.

I originally thought that I would be as happy as Xingyu and the others, but who knew that on this noisy and lively night, I just felt even more lonely.

Maosheng, I wonder if it’s good or not? There are Duan Niang in Yongzhou and Mo Ju, who married Sanshui, who was far away. In previous years, they were always together...

Gu Xiyan looked at the excited crowd around her boredly.

Some people are talking about current affairs.

"I heard that the Duke of the State personally led 60,000 cavalry and took only twenty days to trample Fengzhou, Xinzhou, Chunzhou, Gaozhou and Kangzhou, which belonged to Shannan County, Liangdi, to flatten the ground and kill 100,000 enemies, which made the Liang people frightened..."

"You are wrong. It's not twenty days, but ten days. The Duke of the State leveled Shannan County in just ten years..."

"Ten days?" Someone didn't believe it: "Impossible?"

"What am I lying to you? If you don't believe me, go and ask Mr. Liu... Because of this, several wealthy families in spring have put on lanterns and held lantern festivals... It is said that Yongzhou City is even more lively..."

Gu Xiyan, who listened to them gossiping, was stunned for a moment.

I wrote a letter two days ago and said that I was supervising the battle in He County, but why did I immediately spread the news that I led 6,000 people to the front line at once...

"Sister Duan, Sister Duan," Gu Xiyan pushed Duan Yingluo beside her in panic, "You can help me call Siping...I want to ask..."

Duan Yingluo was also a little surprised when he heard the discussions of the group of people.

She saw Gu Xiyan's confused expression and hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, maybe it's a rumor... I'll go find Siping to ask!"

Gu Xiyan nodded in a daze. Duan Yingluo moved Gu Xiyan to sit closer to the corner of the wall, and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and say to Guard Li..."

Gu Xiyan nodded, Duan Yingluo stood up and walked towards Gu Wei Li who was standing under the tree. After the two said a few words, Gu Wei Li nodded and his eyes fell on Gu Xiyan. Duan Yingluo left.
