Poor Lady

Chapter 68: Both

Views:

On the third day of the wedding, Gu Jinyun took Qi Surong back home. The Qi family hosted a banquet for the neighbors, which was a little lively.

In the inner hall, Gu Jinyun respectfully bowed and poured tea for the Qi family's parents.

Father Qi said coldly: "I have given my daughter to you, you must treat her well. If you dare to betray your heart, I will not spare you!"

"My son-in-law understands. Father-in-law, please rest assured."

"Huh." Father Qi is still brooding about what happened that night and can't give Gu Jinyun a good look.

Qi's mother pulled Qi Surong but stopped talking, her eyes showing worry.

"Mom, don't worry, my husband is very good to my daughter." Qi Surong said with a smile.

"That's good." Mother Qi patted her hand and sighed.

At this time, Qi's father talked about Wang Qinghe: "Boy, I didn't expect that you are quite capable. You can actually invite the prince to marry you."

When Gu Jinyun heard this, he looked at his wife, who smiled at him.

"My father-in-law is so complimentary that the prince is willing to attend. My son-in-law is also surprised." Gu Jinyun replied calmly.

"It's your boy's blessing to be friends with the prince, but you don't want to use his name to lie around."

Qi Surong smiled bitterly at the side, "Father, for the sake of your daughter's face, please be a little gentler!"

"My son-in-law understands." Gu Jinyun's face was as paralyzed as usual, and he couldn't tell his likes and dislikes at all.

Qi's father felt his chest tightening when he looked at his face. How could someone look like this in the world? At least give me some expression!

"Father, mother, it's getting late. It's not convenient for my daughter and husband to stay for a long time today. I'll come see you two another day." Qi Surong said. On the day of return, newlyweds usually have to return to their husband's house before sunset and cannot stay overnight at their parents' house.

"Well, you go back." Qi's father said no more, and Qi's mother sent them out together.

Watching the carriage go away, Qi's mother was worried: "Master, will Rong'er be okay?"

"What can happen to her? Although the boy from the Gu family is taciturn, it can be seen that he is really sincere towards Su Rong."

"No, I'm talking about her physical condition." Qi's mother hesitated, "After that serious illness, didn't Dr. Jiang say that it would be difficult for Rong'er to conceive again in the future? If she couldn't give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Gu family, then she …”

"Dr. Jiang didn't say that she won't be able to get pregnant. It's too early to tell, so don't worry about it." Qi's father said coldly and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"May the Buddha bless you." Qi's mother sighed, turned around and walked back into the house.

In the carriage, Qi Surong said: "In two days, let's go visit the prince, shall we?"

"As it should be."

"Then what gift do you think is more appropriate?"

"Qingwu tea, century-old ginseng." Gu Jinyun replied succinctly.

"Okay, let's do it like this." It's neither expensive nor too shabby. Qi Surong leaned in Gu Jinyun's arms, with a smile on her face. With her husband here, it really saves me a lot of trouble.

Gu Jinyun held her waist and played with her hair unconsciously with his fingers.

Qi Surong looked up at him: "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"have."

"Then ask."

"Can we go to bed early tonight?"

“…”

Qi Surong thought this sentence was just a joke, but it turned out that Gu Jinyun never joked casually, and he took her to bed just after nightfall.

After marrying Jinyun, Qi Surong didn't have any of the worries and cautions of a bride entering the marriage. She was already familiar with everything about the Gu family in her previous life. God allowed her to have it again, even if it was a plant or a tree, she cherished it very much.

"Sister-in-law!" Both of them rushed at her from behind, making Qi Surong stagger.

"Be careful, what if you fall?" Qi Surong turned around and supported her.

"Hehe." Gu Shuangshuang smiled happily happily.

"That's right. Come with me to the room. I'll help you measure your size and make you some beautiful clothes."

"Okay, Shuangshuang likes beautiful clothes." Gu Shuangshuang clapped her hands and followed Qi Surong.

The two came to the room. Qi Surong took out the measuring ruler and ordered: "Ping'er, help both of them take off their coats."

"Okay, Miss." Ping'er still called Su Rong "Miss" in private.

She walked to Shuangshuang and said, "Miss Third, don't move."

Shuangshuang was looking around curiously, but when she saw Ping'er suddenly reaching out to untie her belt, she was so frightened that she stepped back and shouted nervously: "No, don't take off Shuangshuang's clothes."

Qi Surong's expression was stunned, and she looked at Ping'er, who hurriedly said: "Miss, I didn't do anything."

Qi Surong naturally knew that it was none of Ping'er's business. She walked to Shuangshuang and comforted her: "Shuangshuang, what's wrong? Why can't you take off your clothes?"

Shuangshuang squirmed and whispered, "Only wet nurse and Fangfang can take off Shuangshuang's clothes."

Qi Surong knew that Fangfang was the personal maid of both hands, so she ordered: "Okay, sister-in-law, please help you call Fangfang over and ask her to help you take off your clothes, okay?"

Both of them seemed to be resisting, but in the end they nodded obediently.

Qi Surong felt something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. In her last life, she was not close to this sister-in-law and paid little attention to her affairs. Until she left the Gu family, she did not leave much impression.

Not long after, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl came in. When she saw Shuangshuang, she didn't bother to salute Qi Surong. She walked up to Shuangshuang first and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Miss Third, it turns out you are here." Here? I told you not to run around, and I spent a long time looking for you."

Both lowered their heads and kicked their feet silently.

Qi Surong frowned, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

After the girl finished scolding her, she blessed Qi Surong and said, "Madam, please call me here. What are your instructions?"

"Please help Third Miss take off her coat. It seems she only wants you and the wet nurse to serve her." Qi Surong ordered calmly.

The girl's expression changed slightly and she asked, "Why did the madam take off the third lady's coat?"

Ping'er on the side frowned and refrained from speaking.

Qi Surong said: "I plan to make some clothes for Shuangshuang."

"Madam, you are proud of your body and your flesh. You can just ask your servants to do the needlework. How can I trouble you to do it yourself?"

Qi Surong stared at her expressionlessly, saying nothing.

The girl felt uncomfortable being looked at.

Qi Surong looked away and said calmly: "Your name is Fangfang?"

"Go back to my wife, your servant Fanghe."

"How long have you been serving Miss Mistress?"

"My slave and my aunt have been serving the third lady since they were bought by the Gu family ten years ago."

"Is your aunt the third lady's nanny?"

"Exactly."

"It's been ten years, no wonder the third lady is so close to you." Qi Surong said with a smile, "Go and measure her, she only trusts you."

Fang He's face flashed with color, and Fu Shen said: "I'll go right now, slave."

With that said, he walked up to Shuangshuang, whispered a few words in her ear, then helped her take off her coat and measured her size.

Qi Surong has been observing the expressions of the two people. Fanghe seemed gentle to Shuangshuang, but her eyes were sharp and without warmth; Shuangshuang bit her lip, looking reluctant.

After taking the measurements, Qi Surong let her take both of them away.

Ping'er asked, "Are all the girls from the Gu family so unruly?"

"Both are simple and ignorant, unable to control their servants. As time goes by, they will naturally get used to a few who don't know how to advance or retreat." Qi Surong played with the measuring ruler, thoughtfully. Shuangshuang seems to be quite afraid of Fanghe. The two of them are not close to each other normally, but more like a kind of control.

Most of the Gu family consists of men. Gu's father and the Gu brothers are usually busy with their own affairs. Since the death of Mrs. Gu, there has been no woman in charge of the family. They may have never noticed anything unusual about Shuang Shuang. If she hadn't suddenly wanted to make clothes for Shuang Shuang this time, she probably wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. Shuangshuang has a lively and cheerful personality, and does not look like he is being bullied at all.

"Ping'er, don't talk about what's going on today, just keep an eye on it."

"Okay, miss."

In the evening, when Gu Jinyun returned home, Qi Surong greeted him and asked with a smile: "You are back? Is the business going well?"

"Smooth." Su Rong married into the Gu family and brought unexpected luck to the Gu family.

"You can make money at any time, but the important thing is that you must pay attention to your own safety." Qi Surong warned gently.

"I know." Gu Jinyun knew she was referring to Feng Zhan.

Qi Surong ordered his servants to prepare hot water. When Gu Jinyun changed clothes and walked into the cubicle, he smelled a medicinal fragrance in his nose. He turned to look at his wife with a questioning look in his eyes.

Qi Surong said: "I added some herbs to the water. If you soak for a while, it can relieve fatigue, relax your muscles and activate blood circulation."

Gu Jinyun came over, kissed her on the face, and asked in a low voice: "Let's take a dip together?"

Qi Surong smiled and tilted her head, pushing him and saying, "I've washed it."

Gu Jinyun regretted that he could only take a bath alone. After a while, he suddenly said: "Don't take a bath before I come back."

Qi Surong chuckled, walked behind him, helped him hold his shoulders, and said, "As you command, husband."

Gu Jinyun was satisfied.

After taking a bath, Gu Jinyun relaxed his whole body, and the coldness on his face seemed to be much warmer.

Qi Surong was making the quilt when a pair of big hands hugged her from behind, and his hot breath spread to her.

Gu Jinyun was completely naked, and the water droplets on his body that had not yet dried soaked into Qi Surong's clothes and stained her skin.

Her breathing was slightly rapid, her eyes blurred, and she was pushed down on the bed... This night, Gu Jinyun was particularly energetic.

Qi Surong thought in confusion, something seemed wrong? The herbs she put in the bath water were obviously medicinal ingredients to soothe the nerves and promote sleep. Why did she look like she had eaten a cow/whip

The next day, when Gu Jinyun was about to go out, Qi Surong handed him a medicine list and said, "It's hard to find some of the medicines on it. Can you help me get a few of them?"

"Are you feeling unwell? Was it last night..."

"No." Qi Surong's face heated up, and she quickly denied it, saying, "This is a prescription I got from an old man. It is very effective in treating gout and paralysis."

"Gouty paralysis?"

"Yes." Qi Surong nodded, "It rained yesterday and I saw that my father-in-law had trouble walking. I asked my uncle and found out that he had left the root of the disease during his early years on the battlefield. Whenever it was rainy, his legs and feet would suffer uncontrollably. My father I am also a martial artist, and my father-in-law's situation is not much different. He uses this prescription to soak his feet every day, and the pain is relieved a lot, so I want my father-in-law to try it."

Gu Jinyun looked at her deeply, then put away the prescription properly, turned around and walked out of the house.

Qi Surong watched his carriage leave. As soon as he turned around, he saw two people squatting by the pillar, looking at her with puppy-like eyes.

Qi Surong walked over with a smile, pulled her up, and straightened her messy hair: "Another person comes here? Come here, can I teach you how to draw?"

"Paint?" His eyes sparkled.

"Yes, I will teach you to draw and draw beautiful clothes, and then I will make them for you to wear and dress you up beautifully."

"Okay, okay, both of you will draw beautiful clothes."

"What color do you both like?"

"Well, red, yellow, blue, purple..." They both counted carefully with their fingers.

"There are so many, don't you have a favorite?"

"What color does sister-in-law like?"

"Purple and red."

"Then both pairs should also like purple and red."

"Ha ha… "

The two of them walked away while talking.
