"The palace should let you be the housekeeper. If you are the housekeeper, you can pay off whatever debts you owe."
When Su Zheng said this, he was very serious.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Brother Su, don't praise me. I don't want to take over such a big mess. If it is done well, it should be done. If it is not done well, it will become the target of public criticism. This is not a good job."
Su Zheng nodded, "That's right. Is there someone in the Palace making things difficult for Cousin Xiaojiu?"
"Thank you, Cousin Su, for your concern. Do you think I am someone who will be bullied?"
Su Zheng laughed loudly, "It's my unfounded worries."
Gu Jiu said: "It's a rare opportunity today, cousin Su really didn't like a girl?"
Su Zheng seemed embarrassed to bring up this topic.
He said: "Marriage is an important matter, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Today is just going out to relax."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that Su Zheng couldn't save face and didn't know how to talk to girls.
She said: "Brother Su, don't worry. Later, several Hou's residences will hold a banquet on the high platform. Cousin Su can join the third brother Gu Teng and the sixth brother Gu Teng to attend. The water is flowing, and there is absolutely no way to stop it." Cousin Su, as long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely shine."
Su Zheng's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect there to be so many programs in the Shangsi Festival in the capital."
Gu Jiu asked curiously, "Did Cousin Su not go out during Shangsi Festival last year?"
Su Zheng said frankly, "I'm so shy in my pocket, how dare I go out at will."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I didn't have the chance to go out last year."
Su Zheng said with emotion: "When I first went to the capital, I thought that the capital was the place with the strictest rules in the world. After coming to the capital for two years, I realized that the capital is more open than many places, and new things will always appear in the first place. In the capital."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "The capital city is indeed the place with the strictest rules in the world."
As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of the palace.
Then he continued: "At the same time, it is the most unruly place in the world."
This time, she also pointed in the direction of the palace, "The capital is always the same capital, Cousin Su doesn't have to make the capital a myth, just look at all of this with a normal mind."
Su Zheng's heart was shocked, and he bowed and said, "Thank you cousin Xiaojiu for teaching me. I'm old, but I can't see clearly like you."
Gu Jiu hurriedly avoided, pretending to be serious and said: "What is Cousin Su doing? Let's chat for a while, and you will bow down every now and then, and I won't dare to talk to you next time."
Su Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Those who have mastered things come first. Cousin Xiaojiu taught me to look at them with a normal mind, so naturally I should worship."
Gu Jiu waved his hands again and again, "You have to study hard, but you can't fully believe in the book. If everything is done according to the book, few people can bear it. Cousin Su, you should change it, don't be too bookish."
Su Zheng was thoughtful, "Cousin Xiaojiu is right, I have to get rid of my bookishness. But how to do it, I also ask cousin Xiaojiu to teach me."
Gu Jiu pointed to the group of men bathing in the river not far away, "Like them, even Gu Cheng jumped into the river."
Su Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Can you get rid of bookishness by doing that?"
"No! But it can let you put down the burden on your body. Going out for a spring outing is to relax completely. However, Cousin Su is still tense, which is not good. A combination of work and rest is the best policy."
Su Zheng frowned in thought.
Gu Jiu said to him: "Brother Su thinks about it slowly, I'll talk to the sisters."
Both Gu Zhen and Gu Mei arrived.
Both of them had their stomachs upright and were full of pregnancy.
Gu Mei waved to Gu Jiu, "Sister Xiao Jiu, come and sit down."
The maid arranged a carpet on the lawn, and Gu Mei sat directly on the carpet, feeling comfortable all over.
Gu Jiu walked over and looked at her belly, "Sister Mei is going to give birth soon."
Gu Mei touched her big belly, "There are still two more months. I stay in the room all day and can't go anywhere. I'm really depressed. I heard that everyone is going to have a spring break today, so I asked my mother-in-law No, I went out specially to join in the fun. Sister Xiaojiu, take a look for me, how is my fetal image?"
Gu Jiu squatted down and stretched out his hand to check his pulse.
She smiled and said, "The pulse is strong, and she is a healthy child. She will be born in two months. Sister Mei pays attention to eating less and moving more. The birth will be easier."
"Thank you, sister Xiaojiu. Physician Hu also told me the same. I always remember that I don't dare to eat and sleep, because I am afraid that life will be difficult."
She took Gu Jiu's hand, and said in a low voice: "I've been thinking of my sister-in-law recently, and thinking of her risking her life to give birth to a child. I'm terrified in my heart."
The sister-in-law that Gu Mei mentioned refers to Jia Shi, the wife of Gu Rui, the young master of the Hou Mansion.
Jia Shi started to protect the fetus from the time she became pregnant, but in the end she couldn't keep it. She herself died of depression.
Speaking of which, since Gu Mei experienced this incident first-hand, no wonder there were shadows.
Gu Jiu comforted: "Sister Mei, don't scare yourself, read more books, and do "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" when you have time, it will make the child smarter."
"Really?" Gu Mei looked surprised.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Mother's mood and thoughts will affect the baby in the womb. Sister Mei will also experience it herself."
Gu Mei nodded again and again, "When I'm in a calm mood, the child is very obedient and won't kick me. When I'm upset, the child will make a fuss in my stomach."
"That's because the child can feel the mother's emotions keenly."
"Then when I go back, I will read more books when I have free time, and do "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" according to what you said. Don't be like his little uncle, who doesn't know how to make a living and only knows how to make a living all day. It's unrealistic fantasy."
Gu Jiu blinked.
Gu Mei explained: "My little uncle has been in the makeup pile since he was a child, and the old lady in the house spoils him, he is very lawless.
He is young, but he is greedy for flowers and lust, and does things absurdly. He only knows how to talk, but he can't do a thing.
Everyone praises him for being smart and quick-witted. Just because he can write a few sour poems.
I really look down on him, and it's hard for me to say anything.
Every time I see his thief eyes rolling around, I feel sullen. Well, that's my uncle. "
Gu Jiu followed the direction of Gu Mei's finger and looked into the distance.
A young man in fresh clothes and angry horse was very eye-catching in the crowd.
It's just because the young man has really red lips and white teeth, very good-looking.
"That's your uncle?"
Gu Mei nodded, "It's him. He has a good appearance. Today, I don't know how many big girls fell in lovesickness because of him."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he burst out laughing.
"He doesn't look like the Han family."
Gu Mei married Han Dalang. The Han family made their fortune through military exploits, and the whole family is a military general.
This Han Wulang, with red lips and white teeth, is quite different from the usual military image of the Han family.
Gu Mei said: "That's not true. The old lady dotes on him and treats him as a sweetheart. Father-in-law and mother-in-law want to teach him a lesson, but the old lady will not let him, and will only blindly protect him."
Gu Jiu said casually, "It's not good to pamper too much."
"No way. No one dares to touch the old lady's darling. But the family doesn't expect him to inherit the family business, so let him go. It's enough to keep him rich for the rest of his life."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Sister Mei, don't get angry with irrelevant people. You have a lot of mood swings at this time, try to rest as much as possible."
Gu Mei nodded, "I listen to sister Xiaojiu."
Gu Zhen was in the distance, Gu Jiu waved to her, "Big sister, sit here."
Gu Zhen walked over with a smile.
Her belly is not too big, she is two months younger than Gu Mei, so she is quite relaxed at this time.
Unlike Gu Mei, her figure is already extraordinarily bulky.
Gu Jiu took Gu Zhen's hand, checked the pulse calmly, and asked by the way, "How is Big Sister? Long time no see, Big Sister has become a bit rounder."
Gu Zhen touched her face, she had a bright smile, and she could tell that life was going well.
"The old lady and mother-in-law in the mansion take good care of me, and tell the kitchen to prepare delicious food for me every day. How is the second sister in the mansion? No one is embarrassing you."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Big sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
Gu Zhen's pulse condition is very good, but she ate a little too much.
Gu Zhen said: "I heard that Gong Zizhao was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, and I have been worried about you. Seeing that you are doing well today, I feel relieved."
Gu Mei also asked: "Sister Xiaojiu, is Young Master Zhao going to be okay?"
"Thank you two sisters for your concern. He is fine. He will be released soon."
"That's good. Young Master Zhao will be released earlier, and you won't be so difficult in the mansion."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry about me. Take care of the baby in your stomach first."
Gu Zhen and Gu Mei laughed together.
"Seeing you like this, I feel relieved. Sister Xiaojiu, when the son's edict is released, you should have a child early." Gu Mei said sincerely.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later."
She didn't intend to have a child at such a young age. She wanted to wait another year or two until her body became healthier before talking about the child.
Gu Zhen asked, "Second Sister, have you seen Third Sister?"
"You mean Gu Yue? I've been here for so long, but I still haven't seen her."
"When I got off the carriage, I saw her. She seems to have come with the female relatives of Haixibo Mansion, so I have to send someone to look for it." Gu Mei said.
Gu Zhen sat down next to Gu Jiu, "During the first lunar month, you didn't go back to your mother's house, my second sister, and Gu Yue and I went back."
Gu Jiu asked curiously, "Did she say anything?"
Gu Zhen whispered: "Gu Yue went to see his wife and closed the door to talk for half an hour. Hearing that his wife lost her temper, the mother and daughter turned their faces on the spot."
Gu Jiu blinked, she really didn't know about this.
Gu Zhen said again: "The fourth younger sister should be the most clear about this matter."
Gu Shan is playing in the water with other sisters, and she is in high spirits. The three of them unanimously decided not to disturb her.
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
Gu Mei pointed to the hillside not far away, "Is that sister Gu Yue?"
It really is.
Gu Yue also saw the three of them, hesitated for a moment, and then walked directly towards them.
"Three sisters, why are you sitting here? Make it hard for me to find?"
Gu Zhen asked with a smile: "Is the third sister really looking for us? Why aren't you with the people from Haixibo Mansion?"
Gu Yue bent her knees and sat down, "What's the fun with them. It's more comfortable to be with you sisters."
Gu Jiu carefully looked at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue has obviously changed. Not only is it thinner, but more of a change in temperament.
In the past, Gu Yue was arrogant and arrogant, with a pair of eyes that seemed to grow on top of her head. She doesn't pay attention to idlers.
Now, she lacked that madness, but there was more cruelty in her eyes. It makes people feel cold.
It takes a lot of training to experience such a huge change.
Gu Yue glanced at Gu Jiu, "I haven't greeted my second sister yet. Since the Chinese New Year, the palace has not been peaceful, how is my second sister?"
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Thank you, Third Sister, for your concern. I'm fine. As for you, Third Sister, will Zhao Erlang feel wronged by you?"
Gu Yue raised her hands, covered her face with her sleeves, and said with a smile: "Second sister really can't chat, and always picks up which pot is left unopened. Today, when the sisters get together, don't mention him, okay?"
The three looked at each other.
Gu Yue has changed so much.
In the past, Gu Yue would never have said those words. She must suffer to save face, saying how kind Zhao Erlang was to her.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Okay, we won't mention him today."
Gu Yue lowered her arms, "The spring is beautiful, just basking in the sun makes me feel very comfortable."
"Sister Yue's complexion is a little pale, it's time to sunbathe more." Gu Mei said kindly.
Gu Yue's eyes fluttered, "Sister Mei, you are pregnant with a child, and you need to bask in the sun more than I do."
After finishing speaking, she giggled, "Sister Mei is about to give birth. I don't know if it is a brother or a girl? I hope that sister Mei will give birth to a brother and be more happy. But in case a girl is born, Mei What should sister do? Sister Mei won't dislike her child just because she is a girl."
Gu Mei felt unhappy, and said: "Whether it's brother or sister, they are all my children and descendants of the Han family. Sister Yue is too worried."
Gu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Mei is right. But I heard people say that if the first child is a girl, there is a high probability that the second child will also be a girl. In case Sister Mei gives birth to two girls in a row, So what's the matter? Will the brother-in-law of the Han family dislike him? Will he praise his aunt? What if he spoils his concubine and destroys his wife?"
Gu Mei's face darkened, "Can you talk? I have no grievances with Sister Yue in the past, and I have no vendettas in the present. Why are you deliberately angry with me?"
"Sister Mei, calm down."
Gu Jiu held Sister Mei's wrist and kept an eye on her pulse.
Gu Yue giggled, "Calling, of course, is to speak freely. What I said was also concerned about Sister Mei, and reminded Sister Mei to prepare early. I didn't mean to annoy you on purpose. Sister Mei, you can't misunderstand me. So kind."
Gu Mei laughed back angrily, "Good intentions? I think you are harboring evil intentions. With your mouth, it is your own fault that Haixibo Mansion refuses to treat you kindly."
Gu Yue didn't care, and said casually: "Would I care that Haixibo Mansion treats me well? Even if I am an obedient daughter-in-law with a sweet mouth and a kind heart, Haixibo Mansion will really treat me kindly? Hehe... Three sisters, I want to see I'll just tell my jokes, why bother to be duplicity."
"Third sister, watch your mouth carefully."
Gu Jiu stared at Gu Yue, "Big Sister and Sister Mei are both pregnant women, if you get mad at them, do you think you can get away with it? The Han family and the Xu family must tear you apart.
Also, today everyone is talking in a normal way here, no one provokes you.
As a result, when you came, you were sarcastic and snarky. If you have any grievances in your heart, you can vent it to Hai Xibo's mansion and Zhao Erlang.
What kind of skill is it to catch one's own sister venting anger? Or do you just dare to hide in your nest? "
Since Gu Yue is a ruthless person, he will use his ruthless strength to fight Haixibo's mansion up and down.
What kind of skill is it to be fierce and fierce in front of your own sisters, and to vent your anger on your own sisters
Gu Yue gave Gu Jiu a contemptuous smile.
"Oh, I haven't been taught by my second sister for a long time, I really miss it. Second sister, why don't you scold me again?"
Gu Jiu narrowed her eyes, did Gu Yue go crazy today
Seeing Gu Jiu's puzzled look, Gu Yue laughed.
"Let's just say it, Second Sister is serious. It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise I will punish myself with three drinks and make amends to Second Sister."
Gu Jiu grabbed Gu Yue's wrist violently.
Gu Yue said "Ah", "Second Sister, what are you doing? Are you going to hit someone? I didn't hit someone before, I was broken by you, and you will be responsible."
Gu Jiu pushed Gu Yue away, "I thought you were seriously ill, but it turned out that I was thinking too much."
Gu Yue laughed sullenly, "It's the first time I know that my second sister will still ask for pulse."
Gu Zhen looked unhappy, "Gu Yue, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
"No! I'm fine."
Gu Zhen asked again: "But you were stimulated?"
"You are stimulated."
Gu Yue scolded back angrily.
Gu Zhen clutched her belly, "Hmph, I don't have the same knowledge as you."
But she thought in her heart, if this continues, Gu Yue will lose her mind sooner or later.
Gu Teng noticed Gu Yue and walked over.
"Third sister, are you okay? Did Zhao Erlang accompany you?"
Gu Yue glanced at him, "Why did Brother Six mention Zhao Erlang?"
Gu Cheng frowned, "You fell out with him again?"
Gu Yue lowered her head and smiled, "When did I get along with him?"
