In March of Yangchun, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming.
The Gu Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red lanterns were hung at the gate, with eye-catching words of happiness pasted on them.
Today is Gu Cheng's wedding day.
Fifty tables were opened in the Gu Mansion, and all the people who could be invited were invited.
Mr. Gu is now the servant of the household department, and everyone who receives the invitation will give him face and come to the door with gifts to congratulate him.
There are even many people who have not received the invitation, but also have the cheek to come to the door.
The butler is very handy in dealing with such things, without disturbing Mr. Gu and Mrs. Xie, he has already dismissed the future people.
Gu Jiu came to the Gu residence in a carriage.
When the housekeeper Gu Quan heard that Mrs. Chao had arrived, he went to the second gate to greet her in person.
"Madam, be careful where you step. The master entertains guests in the flower hall of the outer courtyard, and the wife greets guests in the flower hall of the inner courtyard."
Gu Jiu got out of the carriage, looked at the familiar people and the familiar scene, and asked softly, "Have all the guests arrived? Did Sixth Brother set out to pick up the bride?"
"Reporting to Madam, almost all the guests have arrived. Sixth Young Master has gone out to meet the bride half an hour ago."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Is the third sister helping the wife?"
"Exactly.
After a pause, Gu Quan lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "My wife is planning to find another marriage for my third aunt, and I brought my third aunt by my side just to see the marriage."
Gu Jiu laughed and went directly to the flower hall in the inner courtyard.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, together with Mrs. Xie, brought their daughter-in-law and other girls to greet the guests.
The eldest grandma, Xiao Zhang, has a five-month-old belly and is full of energy.
Pregnancy did not make her feel tired, on the contrary, she was full of energy, high spirits, and wind under her feet. She greeted the guests with ease and settled everyone down.
The eldest wife Zhang felt sorry for her and told her not to work too hard and be careful of being tired.
But she said with a smile: "Don't worry mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is in good health. I can't be bothered by this matter."
"Even if you're not tired, you should be more careful."
"Sister-in-law should listen to what auntie said. After all, she has twins, so she should be more careful."
Gu Jiu stepped forward and said.
"Second sister is back, everyone is waiting for you."
The young lady and the little Zhang had a happy face.
"Xiao Jiu is back, sit down and drink tea. Now you are a guest, so I can't tire you and worry about it." The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, was cheerful.
Gu Jiu greeted everyone with a smile.
"Second Sister, you're finally back." Gu Lin was next to Gu Jiu, looking like she missed her very much.
Gu Jiu asked her: "How is Fifth Sister?"
Gu Lin's face was slightly sad, "It's not very good."
Gu Jiu was curious, "Did something happen?"
Gu Lin whispered in her ear: "Since the third sister came back, I feel uncomfortable. In private, the fourth sister has quarreled with the third sister two or three times, but the wife doesn't know."
Oh
Gu Jiu looked at the two sisters Gu Yue and Gu Shan who were greeting the guests. It's not surprising that these two quarreled, what's strange is that both of them actually kept it from Mrs. Xie.
Gu Jiu said: "They are arguing with them, what bothers you?"
Gu Lin said in a low voice: "Master Luo is seriously ill and cannot give us lessons. I can't go to the Hou's mansion to attend classes, so I can only stay in the mansion every day. Every time the third sister and the fourth sister quarrel, I will be caught in the middle and get splinted Gas, it's really miserable."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "When they are arguing, you just need to sneak away. Don't take the initiative to move forward."
"I have nowhere to go." Gu Lin felt aggrieved, "My aunt is having a hard time, and she dislikes me for being incompetent and unable to stand up for her. It's better to be with the fourth sister."
Aunt Bai and Chunhe join forces to suppress Aunt Tan. But still can't change the fact of falling out of favor.
Master Gu can either go to Aunt Tan's room, or go to Aunt Chun's room. Aunt Bai has been completely ignored.
Aunt Bai wants to stand up, but it seems that she has no chance at present. She could only count on Gu Lin, and hope that Gu Lin would marry a good family and be the young mistress of the house, and she would be able to follow suit.
A few days ago, Aunt Bai told Gu Lin that when Gu Jiu came back, she must have more contact with Gu Jiu.
Regarding Gu Lin's marriage, if Gu Jiu is willing to help and tell Gu Lin about the marriage, then Gu Lin will have nothing to worry about in this life.
Aunt Bai is self-aware, she knows that she has nothing to say in front of Gu Jiu.
When Gu Jiu was a girl, she didn't like her. Now that Gu Jiugui is Mrs. Zhao, I'm afraid he won't even give her a straight look.
Aunt Bai could only tell Gu Lin repeatedly, reminding Gu Lin not to miss the opportunity.
You know how difficult it is for Gu Jiu to come back.
This time, Gu Lin listened to Aunt Bai's words in her heart.
She grew up day by day, and began to worry about her marriage.
So as soon as Gu Jiu came back, she came over and the two sisters were talking.
The feeling of unfamiliarity gradually disappeared in the conversation, and the familiar sisterhood in the past was found again.
Gu Jiu said: "As the younger generation, we don't need to worry about the matters of the previous generation. The fifth sister only needs to live her own life well."
Gu Lin looked at Gu Jiu, "Could it really be that simple? My aunt is not favored, and I'm afraid my marriage will not get better. My wife never mentioned my marriage, so she probably forgot about me."
Gu Jiu laughed, "You haven't gotten there yet, so don't worry. When my wife finishes her fourth sister's wedding, she will naturally think of you."
Gu Lin looked at Mrs. Xie in the crowd, "My wife doesn't like my aunt, and she doesn't even like me. I'm afraid I can't even compare to my eldest sister."
Gu Zhen married Xu Sanlang, this marriage seems to be very good now.
The Xu family is kind and kind, not as dirty as the Haixibo Mansion. Gu Zhen lived in Xu's family, except for some unavoidable bumps and bumps, she did not suffer much grievance.
Nowadays, many people say that Gu Zhen married the right person.
Even Gu Yue wanted to put gold on her face, saying that if she hadn't robbed Haixibo Mansion of her marriage back then, Gu Zhen wouldn't be as lucky as she is now.
Every time this topic was mentioned, Gu Zhen wanted to spit on Gu Yue.
I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen Gu Yue so shameless. It's really deceiving.
Gu Jiu comforted Gu Lin, "Don't worry. Even if your wife doesn't care about you, you still have your father. Sixth brother married Miss Hu, and you have another sister-in-law. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can also ask your new sister-in-law for help. It's not possible , you can still find me in the palace."
"Can I really go to the palace to find my second sister?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I'll give you a post when the palace invites you next time."
Gu Lin smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Second Sister. Second Sister, you are so kind."
When Gu Mei arrived, even Pei Yun also arrived.
Gu Jiu also saw Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Xie, among the crowd.
After Mrs. Xie greeted her natal family, she thought of the Su family.
She came to Gu Jiu's side, "Second aunt, the master has sent an invitation to the Su family, please tell me that the Su family has not come to the door so far. It is possible that the Su family will not come."
Gu Jiu glanced at the Xie family members in the crowd, and wondered what Master Gu was thinking, that he would post a post to the Xie family members.
Could it be that after Xie Mao died, Mr. Gu forgot about the fact that the two families turned against each other
Or is it that Mrs. Xie's bedside wind is so powerful that she can actually persuade Mr. Gu to change his mind and post a post to Xie's family.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Madam, don't you know? The Su family sent someone to congratulate you yesterday, and told your father that you won't come to the house for the wedding today, so as not to make your wife feel uncomfortable. But don't worry, my wife, when the third brother gets married , the Su family will definitely come to the door, and will send generous gifts."
At this moment, Mrs. Xie really felt a shock.
She smiled vaguely, "The Su family is well-informed, and they are so attentive."
"The Su family's scholarly reputation for generations is naturally not comparable to the nouveau riche." Gu Jiu sneered at the Xie family.
Xie's face was feverish, "Second aunt got married to the palace, nothing else has changed, except that her temper is getting worse."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Madam's eyes are as bright as a torch. My temper has indeed risen in the past two years. There are too many people who are not open-eyed these days. Don't give those people a little color, and treat me as a madam."
Xie felt that there was something in Gu Jiu's words, as if she was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai.
She was not happy, "Second aunt's violent temper, don't use it on your natal family. If you have the ability, go to the palace."
"Don't worry, madam. When I go back to my natal family, I always come and leave happily. If my wife has nothing else to do, I still have to talk to Sister Mei and Sister Pei. Excuse me."
Gu Jiu really didn't like wasting words with Mrs. Xie.
Master Gu did indeed send an invitation to the Su family.
Su Zheng had asked her before if the Su family wanted to come over for a wedding.
Gu Jiu was very straightforward, as long as the presents were delivered, it was really not that important whether to drink the wedding wine or not. I feel unhappy, coming to drink wedding wine is just to make myself uncomfortable, it is better not to come.
Su Zheng was kind, so he delivered the gift one day in advance. I found an excuse not to come to the wedding today.
Mr. Gu also knew that the Su family had knots, so he didn't force it.
Originally, Mrs. Xie wanted to show off to the Su family, but in the end, the Su family didn't visit the house at all, and she didn't drink wedding wine. Xie's idea of showing off fell through.
She snorted in her heart, the Su family has settled down, so there is really no need to care about that family.
Little did they know, her news was all outdated a few years ago.
Ever since the Su family started supplying Gu Jiu's herbal medicine shop, the situation at home has gradually improved.
Master Su Er is a transparent character. He was not idle when he stayed in the capital. Through his past connections, he contacted several large medicine shops. In addition to supplying Gu Jiu's herbal medicine shop, it also supplies other herbal medicine shops.
Medicinal materials are not huge profits. Relying on the accumulation of a small amount, the Su family finally had a fixed income after changing their past embarrassing situation.
In this way, the Su family has the financial resources to allow more children to study and take the imperial examination.
One day, the Su family will appear in court again. The Su family, which was a scholarly generation in the past, will appear before the eyes of the world again.
Gu Jiu accompanied Gu Mei to talk.
"Sister Mei, Niuniu is okay, why didn't you bring the child today."
When the child was mentioned, Gu Mei smiled all over her face, "The child is naughty, lest she ruin everyone's interest, I didn't bring her here. Thanks to sister Xiaojiu, Niu Niu has been safe and sound for the past few months. She will leave now gone."
"Really? I didn't expect to leave so soon."
"The imperial doctor also said that compared with children of the same age, she walked earlier. Now she can call her mother very clearly."
"That's great. If you find a chance tomorrow, you must see the child."
"You can come anytime, and I welcome you anytime."
The tenderness in Gu Mei's eyes is almost overflowing, it can be seen that she is full of children in her heart.
Gu Jiu didn't mention Han Shizi, nor Miss Qu. She didn't want to spoil Gu Mei's good mood. She only chatted with Gu Mei about ordinary household affairs.
But Gu Jiu still didn't escape the scrutiny of others.
An elder relative stared at Gu Jiu's stomach for a long time, couldn't help it, and asked, "Xiao Jiu, is your stomach still not moving?"
Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment before recognizing the other party.
"Thank you, Auntie, for your concern. There is no movement yet."
"You have been married for more than a year, and your stomach hasn't moved yet. Can the palace agree? I know a very good doctor who specializes in gynecology. Why don't you come to the palace some other day to treat you?"
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, auntie, for your kindness, no need. The imperial doctor said that I am in good health, and pregnancy will happen sooner or later."
When the aunt heard this, she nodded meaningfully, "It's hard for you."
Gu Jiu was a little confused, she couldn't do anything for her.
After a while, she realized that her aunt had misunderstood Liu Zhao.
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, how dare she explain this kind of thing, there are so many mistakes. It's better to let the aunt continue to misunderstand.
Gu Mei asked Gu Jiu in a low voice, "Is there really no movement?"
Gu Jiu nodded, and took Gu Mei's hand to stick to her abdomen, "It's really nothing."
Gu Mei withdrew her hand and said, "You and Young Master Zhao get together less and leave more, no wonder there is no movement. You should tell Young Master Zhao to tell him to take time to go home more."
Gu Jiu nodded.
Her stomach hasn't moved yet, mainly because she doesn't want to have a baby so early.
With all the calculations, her body is only seventeen years old. It is best to wait until after the age of eighteen to have a child. When you are older and in good health, your child will be born healthier.
Therefore, if you get pregnant in the second half of this year, the time is almost right.
Of course, there is no way to export these words, it can only make everyone continue to misunderstand her and Liu Zhao.
Seeing Pei Yun's sour face, Gu Jiu asked in a low voice, "Does Sister Pei have it?"
Pei Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't hide her smile, "Thank you, sister Gu, for the two prescriptions. After using them, my health has improved a lot. I just got pregnant, and I didn't make any noise in less than three months. I didn't expect that sister Gu would take a look. figure it out."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Sister Pei, I see you look uncomfortable, but are you sick?"
"A little nauseous, but I don't feel nauseous."
Gu Jiu immediately ordered someone to take away the teacup in front of Pei Yun and replace it with warm water to warm Pei Yun's stomach.
After drinking warm water, Pei Yun felt a little better, "Thank you, sister Gu, you know a lot. I just heard your aunt asking if your stomach is moving. Since sister Gu is in good health, hurry up and have a baby.
Don't be like me, because I have no children, I don't know how much I have suffered. The way other people look at me is full of sympathy and disgust, which is really annoying. This time she managed to get pregnant, and finally made those people shut up. "
"Sister Pei, why should you care about other people's eyes?"
Pei Yun smiled wryly, "I used to be the same as you, and I didn't care about other people's gazes. But since I got married, I realized that living under one roof, there is no way I can't care about other people's gazes.
Having children is always better than not having children. After all, I am the eldest daughter-in-law and the clan wife. The stomach has not moved for a long time, the old lady in the mansion, the lady will ask. Even the husband seems to be inferior in front of others. "
Speaking of the pressure she had endured in the past, Pei Yun also felt aggrieved.
But who put her in the position of the clan's wife, she couldn't avoid these pressures, she could only face them head-on.
Fortunately, she is finally pregnant now.
Gu Jiu knew how precious Pei Yun was to the child in her womb, so she specially arranged for a little maid to wait in front of Pei Yun.
"Sister Pei is a twin now, and there are many guests in the mansion today, so don't walk around casually, so as not to bump into you. Tell this maid to do what you need. Don't be tired, Sister Pei."
Pei Yun covered her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Gu. Sister Gu is so good at taking care of people. It is really a blessing from his previous life that Young Master Zhao can marry you."
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, a little embarrassed.
She has been married to Liu Zhao for more than a year, but she really has never taken care of Liu Zhao herself. He always kicked Liu Zhao out of bed when he didn't agree with each other.
Gu Jiu reflected on herself and made up her mind to treat Liu Zhao better next time.
But by the next time, Gu Jiu probably forgot what he said. Feeling unhappy, he kicked the person out of bed as usual.
Well, she is just so duplicity, nothing wrong with her.
When Liu Zhao married her, he had to tolerate all her strengths and weaknesses.
Just like her, she is also trying to accept Liu Zhao's various problems and find a balance between the two.
The bride is back.
Everyone got up and went to the auditorium to watch the ceremony.
Gu Jiu stayed by Pei Yun's side and personally protected Pei Yun, for fear that someone would bump into her.
One must know how difficult it was for Pei Yun to conceive this child. Dare not have the slightest mistake.
