When Liu Yi heard that Xiao Qin'er was going to give birth, he sobered up instantly.
He hurried over, seeing him, Mrs. Pei raised her hand to hit him.
As a result, his hands stopped in mid-air, and he couldn't continue hitting.
She simply pointed at Liu Yi, "Look at what you've done, it's just ridiculous."
Liu Yi wiped his face, "Is Qin'er okay?"
"It's not clear yet, the child hasn't come out yet. You should first think about how to explain it to your in-laws. You haven't seen anyone for a day, and they sent someone to look for you but couldn't find you. The in-laws are very dissatisfied."
Liu Yi looked guilty, "My son is just going out for fun."
Mrs. Pei scolded angrily, "You still want to hide it from me until now. Those pig and dog friends of yours have personally said that since you returned to Beijing, except for a drink at the beginning, you have never seen each other since then, and you have never seen each other again. I don't know what you're up to."
Liu Yi was startled, "Concubine Mu even found out about this."
Pei's face was stern, "My in-laws stay here, how can I be negligent. If you don't give face to the Xiao family, you have to give face to Concubine Shu. Hurry up and think of a reason for yourself, and think about how to explain it."
"My son just goes out for fun."
"Who can you lie to? I really don't know what you have done outside."
Liu Yi felt guilty, "Concubine Mu, did you guess it?"
Pei said angrily: "Hurry up and clean up your outside affairs."
Liu Yi nodded, but he thought that this period of time could not pass, and he could only stay in the mansion honestly.
After a day and a night of hard work, Xiao Qin'er gave birth to a brother who weighed seven catties at dawn in the morning.
Liu Yi was overjoyed, he became a father and a son. His son is the eldest grandson of the palace, haha.
"Reward, everyone in the whole house will reward."
"Thank you, Young Master, for the reward."
When Pei woke up early in the morning and heard that Xiao Qin'er had given birth to a boy, she was also very happy, "It deserves a big reward."
Then she beat Liu Yi again, "Qin'er gave birth to a son for you, you should calm down and clean up the outside affairs, and don't let Qin'er find out."
"My son knows."
Liu Yi whispered to Wang Shun, "Go over there for me and tell her to be quiet and not to show off. I can't go there recently, so I will visit him when I am busy."
"Old slave obeys." Wang Shun followed the order and left.
Together with Ouyang Fu, Gu Jiu congratulated Xiao Qin'er with a gift.
They didn't dare to give away food, for fear that something might go wrong with the food, and they wouldn't be able to clean it up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
I didn't dare to send medicinal materials, let alone if there was something wrong with the medicinal materials.
The two chose to send cloth by coincidence.
Gu Jiu picked out four bolts of brocade, plus four bolts of cotton cloth, and sent them over.
Ouyang Fu only sent cotton cloth.
The two were invited into the bedroom together, and the first thing they saw was the little child lying next to Xiao Qin'er's pillow.
The newborn child is wrinkled, red and not beautiful. But seeing him clenching his little fists and sleeping soundly, I think it's very cute.
When Ouyang Fu saw the child, her heart melted.
In the past two years, she has dreamed of conceiving a child, but her stomach is not up to date, and there has been no movement.
Seeing Xiao Qin'er's child, she was very envious. He leaned over to the bed and looked at it carefully, "The child is so cute, he looks like a younger sibling."
"Is it really like me?"
Xiao Qin'er was smiling, as if she had a child and everything was done.
Ouyang Fu nodded, "It's really like siblings."
Xiao Qin'er laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.
"Before, the concubine also said that I gave birth to the eldest grandson of the palace, and I was a hero in the palace. What kind of hero am I? I only hope that the child can grow up safely and be free from illness and disaster. Oh, sister-in-law will not be offended, see I don't listen to what I'm talking about."
Gu Jiu smiled, Xiao Qin'er is a pregnant woman, she doesn't care about her.
She said: "Siblings and sisters are indeed heroes, and no one can deny this. As for me, siblings don't need to worry. Everyone has their own fate as children, and I'm not in a hurry."
"The eldest son is not young, is the sister-in-law really not in a hurry?" Ouyang Fu asked curiously.
Gu Jiu sat down on the round stool by the bed, "I'm really not in a hurry. Pregnancy and childbirth are hard work, take your time, you will experience it sooner or later."
Ouyang Fu lowered her head and smiled, "Sister-in-law is open-minded, I feel ashamed."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Actually, a woman's pregnancy has something to do with her mood. Too much thought, anxiety, and wanting to have a child, but she can't conceive. After giving up, everything goes with the flow, and you can conceive soon. This kind of example Not a lot."
Ouyang Fu thought about it, and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Gu Jiu said firmly.
Xiao Qin'er smiled and said: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to know a lot, even knowing how a woman can get pregnant."
Gu Jiu said softly: "I love to read, and I also like to observe the people around me. After a long time, I will naturally discover some patterns."
Xiao Qin'er scoffed at Gu Jiu's words, but Ouyang Fu listened.
She has not been able to conceive a child for two years, maybe it is because she thinks too much and is nervous all day long.
There was movement at the door, and everyone turned around to see that it was Liu Yi who had come.
Liu Yi came to visit Xiao Qin'er.
Xiao Qin'er's face instantly collapsed.
She took deep breaths one after another, managed to restrain the anger in her heart, and called softly, "Cousin!"
"Qin'er, you have worked hard."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "You two are chatting, my second sibling and I will say goodbye first."
"Two sisters-in-law, go slowly."
Walking to the garden, Ouyang Fu said: "The fourth sibling and the fourth son will quarrel."
Gu Jiu has a different opinion, "Not necessarily. I think she has suppressed her anger, and she should hold back for a while, and wait until the confinement is over before talking about other things."
Ouyang Fu said: "It's really embarrassing for the four younger siblings. They happened to encounter such a terrible thing when they gave birth. I hope it won't affect the confinement. If you leave confinement disease, it will be troublesome."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Don't worry, don't look at the four younger brothers and sisters blah blah blah blah, she has a plan in mind when something really happens."
Ouyang Fu agrees with this.
Xiao Qin'er bluffs on weekdays, but it's all small things. When something big happens, she will know how to advance and retreat.
At this time, her son and her body are the most important, and she will definitely not quarrel with Liu Yi during the confinement period.
If you want to make a fuss, you have to wait until you are out of the confinement period, and after you have taken care of your body.
Sure enough, Xiao Qin'er and Liu Yi looked affectionate and loving, and they didn't start a fight.
Pei only thought that Xiao Qin'er didn't know that Liu Yi raised a concubine outside, but she didn't know that Xiao Qin'er knew it all.
Mrs. Xiao persuaded Xiao Qin'er, "I look at my uncle as absurd. I don't know what he is doing outside. You should pay more attention on weekdays, and don't let him be coaxed by people outside."
Xiao Qin'er said with a desolate expression: "I can't control him, he came back drunk after drinking outside all day, and smelled of alcohol, he was almost smothered to death."
Mrs. Xiao said: "Tell him to drink less, he started drinking at a young age, what will he do when he gets older."
Xiao Qin'er nodded, "I'll persuade him, just because I'm afraid he won't listen to me. Mother, I'm also suffering a lot. Men are nothing."
"What's the matter, what's the matter? You can't cry on the first day of confinement. Did Liu Yi bully you? Tell me, I'll go to the palace to find Concubine Shu."
Xiao Qin'er held back her tears, "My cousin didn't bully me. Before getting married, he listened to me in everything, but after getting married, he changed his face. When talking to him, he was always impatient, as if what I said It's all unappealing, it's too much."
Mrs. Xiao laughed, "Mother, I was taken aback by you, and thought that bastard Liu Yi bullied you. This man is like this. Before marriage, his nature is exposed, and he is another. .
Just like your father, before we got married, he would blush when he talked to me. Look at him now, does he still blush? With a straight face and staring eyes, he is more powerful than anyone else, very frightening. "
Xiao Qin'er laughed, and felt a little sad after laughing, "Doesn't mother complain?"
"What are you complaining about? I've been used to this for a couple of decades. You have to think about it. It doesn't matter how many problems a man has, the key is to treat you well and know how to love others. Liu Yi Do you feel sorry for you?"
Xiao Qin'er nodded, "He loves me." But he loves the women outside even more.
She pinched the quilt, feeling overwhelmingly uncomfortable, but she had to convince herself to endure it.
"You have to be strong since you were a child, and now you are a mother. You have to learn to be soft. You must use softness to overcome rigidity, and don't confront men with toughness. Men are good-faced, you have to give him enough face in front of others."
Mrs. Xiao was earnest.
Xiao Qin'er nodded, but did not lose her mind.
She had made up her mind a long time ago, but now she is just holding back.
…
On the twenty-eighth year, Liu Zhao finally returned from the barracks. This time he can take a month off.
Liu Zhao had a beard and a scumbag. He took people hundreds of miles away to perform official duties. After going there for more than half a month, he never had time to tidy himself up.
Gu Jiu looked at him with disgust, then ordered the maid to prepare hot water.
She said, "Don't get close to me until you wash it off."
Being so disgusted, Liu Zhao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his face was full of displeasure.
Gu Jiu served the tea himself, "Come, drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst. This year's winter tea won't make you angry."
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu's hand, it was thin and long, with fair and tender skin, really pretty.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Gu Jiu's hand.
In the end, Gu Jiu disliked him and refused to give him a handshake.
"Let's talk about it after washing it."
With resentment on his face, Liu Zhao rushed out the door and asked loudly, "Is the hot water ready?"
"My lord, the hot water is ready and you can wash at any time."
Liu Zhan got up and snorted at Gu Jiu, "I'll settle the score with you after I wash it up."
Gu Jiu: Hehe!
She still had a debt to settle with Liu Zhao, and Liu Zhao had the nerve to settle it with him.
When Liu Zhao was washed, the sun was westward, so it was time for dinner.
A table is full of dishes that Liu Zhao likes to eat.
Liu Zhao was very surprised, "You asked Qian Fu to prepare it on purpose?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "Although I haven't spent much time with you, I have figured out your preferences. How is it? Is it delicious?"
Liu Zhao drank half a bowl of soup first, and then ate a piece of crispy chicken, "That's right, it's still the same cook."
Gu Jiu brought him some food.
Liu Zhao enjoyed it as a matter of course, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Since when did Gu Jiu become so virtuous, it's weird to know how to serve others.
He remained calm, it was important to fill his stomach first.
After dinner, Gu Jiu took a short rest before going to wash up.
After washing up, I got into bed, still holding a book in my hand, ready to read before going to bed.
Liu Zhao followed in, "I heard that the fourth sibling gave birth to a brother, so we will have a baby too."
Gu Jiu pushed Liu Zhao's face away with a slap, and then said: "At the beginning you told my concubine that my father hid a sum of money from my private house. My concubine tried her best to snatch the money from my father. My father was angry , Ask me to pay back the money. Said that I am married to you, and if he can't find you, he will help me to bear it for you."
Liu Zhao frowned, "It's really shameless, how can he open his mouth when he asks you for money."
Gu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao with a half-smile, then stretched out his hand, "Bring it here."
"Take what?"
"Of course it's silver."
Liu Zhao shook his head, "No money."
Gu Jiu grinned, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you go down and don't sleep in my bed."
When she kicked, Liu Zhao was prepared and grabbed her foot.
"I don't believe that you will obediently hand over the money to the father."
"Why can't I? He is a prince. There is no Jiuding in a word, but there are also eight tripods and seven tripods."
Liu Zhao said viciously: "Never mind how many tripods he has, I only know that you will definitely not be able to obediently hand over the money."
"Believe it or not, I handed over the silver to my father."
Liu Zhao shook his head, "I don't believe it."
Gu Jiu bent her knees and tried to kick him away, but the man was too heavy and strong, so she was wasting all her efforts.
She snorted and tugged at his collar. As a result, the clothes were loosened all at once, revealing a firm chest.
Gu Jiu sneaked a few glances, it was really pretty.
Then he said solemnly: "You set yourself on fire, and then ran away. Leave me a mess, do you know that the father and king were terrible in those two days."
"Father didn't make things difficult for you, did you?"
"He always asks me for money, do you think it's difficult?"
Liu Zhao frowned, lowered his voice and said, "It's getting more and more shameless."
"Who are you calling shameless?"
"Of course the father is shameless."
"If you have a gender, say it behind your back, but you can tell it to your face. See if your father will smack you."
Liu Zhao smiled, and scratched Gu Jiu's nose, "You really want to see me being whipped by my father?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "What do you think?"
Liu Zhao was pressing on her, not letting her move, "Did you give the father money?"
"I told my father that I had no money. If he insisted on forcing me to take the money, I would have to sell the dowry and sell it on the street. This made my father very angry. He also said that I learned from you and know how to plot when I have a bad stomach." My family."
Gu Jiu snorted and tugged at his collar, "Am I really full of shit?"
"Of course not. He was talking nonsense. He didn't get the money, so he became angry and said that on purpose."
Gu Jiu laughed, "You are quite good at comforting people. Did you make a mistake outside and feel guilty?"
"How could I have a guilty conscience." Liu Zhao had a serious look on his face, blaming Gu Jiu for not trusting him.
Gu Jiu bit his ear, "Did you know that the fourth younger brother raised a concubine outside and was known by the fourth younger sibling. The reason why the fourth younger sibling gave birth early was stimulated by this incident. But the fourth younger brother thought he was It was well hidden, and the fourth sibling didn't make any noise. I guess the fourth sibling is going to take care of this matter after confinement."
Liu Zhao was surprised, "Thinking about it carefully, with the character of the fourth brother, it is not uncommon for him to raise a foreign room. He must have a lot of money when he goes back to Jiangnan. Naturally, he has the money to raise a foreign room outside. But since this matter If the fourth sibling finds out, I'm afraid he will have his life to support him, but not his life to enjoy it."
Gu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao with a half-smile, "Then will you follow the example of the fourth brother and raise a foreign room outside?"
"Do you think I'm out of my mind?" Liu Zhao gnawed hard on her lips, "I doubt it all day long, so I won't give me a little more trust."
"Trust needs time to build, and it also needs an opportunity. You didn't give me time, let alone an opportunity. I'm not that stupid and sweet, I believe whatever you say."
"What is silly white sweet?" Liu Zhao asked without shame.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Stupid and sweet, you can understand that you are innocent and easy to deceive. You believe what others say, and you will never have a long memory."
"Then you are definitely not stupid and sweet, you should be regarded as a poisonous woman."
"You are the poisonous woman."
Gu Jiu got angry and even called her a poisonous woman.
She couldn't beat Liu Zhao, so she bit her teeth.
Liu Zhao didn't care, he was still laughing, "Bite whatever you want, anyway, I have rough skin and thick flesh."
Gu Jiu was so angry that he lost all his energy, but he couldn't bite through the skin, which shows that Liu Zhao's skin is really thick.
Liu Zhao hugged her, "Are you tired?"
Gu Jiu hummed, "You are so disgusting that you dare to call me a poisonous woman. Be careful that my wife will poison you to death someday."
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "If you poison me to death, you will have to pay with your life."
"You are so boring, you should say that peony flowers are also romantic after death."
"How can a ghost be happy to be a human being? I just want to sleep with you every day and be happy."
"Stinking rogue."
"The stinky rascal wants to kiss Fangze now,
