Gu Jinyun returned to the room and found his wife sitting on the bed in a daze.
He walked over and sat next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You already knew that."
"What?"
"I can't have any more children." Qi Surong looked at him, her eyes full of pain.
Gu Jinyun hugged her silently.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Qi Surong burst into tears. She lost her child in her previous life and thought things would change in this life, but fate gave her a heavy blow.
"It's my fault." If it hadn't been for him... Gu Jinyun looked gloomy.
Qi Surong grabbed his shirt tightly, buried her face in his chest, and cried silently.
Maybe this is the price of her rebirth? Qi Surong knew that she shouldn't be too greedy, but she couldn't restrain her desire to have a child.
Is it really not possible? Is it really not possible
Seeing her uncomfortable look, Gu Jinyun's heart was so excited that he kept calling her name: "Surong, Surong..."
After a moment, Qi Surong raised his head and said firmly: "No, I won't give up. Jinyun, come with me to meet someone tomorrow."
Even if there was only a slim hope, she would try.
The next day, Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong left Qi Mansion and headed to Yunwu Mountain in plain clothes.
"Master, master." Qi Surong shouted towards Yunyouzi's residence from a distance.
Yunyouzi heard the sound and walked to the yard to play with the herbs with an unwavering expression.
Seeing that Yun Youzi was still there, Qi Surong was filled with joy and bowed deeply to him: "Master, my disciple is back."
With that said, he introduced Gu Jinyun beside him.
Yun Youzi just glanced at them lightly, hummed, and said nothing. Every time this woman comes, nothing good happens. He has finally been quiet for a year or two, but he doesn't want to get entangled in trivial matters.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qi Surong to explain his intention to come.
Yun Youzi was very annoyed: "You come to me when you are injured, you come to me when you are looking for people, you come to me to detoxify, you come to me to treat people, and now you come to me even if you can't give birth to a child?"
Qi Surong was also quite embarrassed, but she had developed a thick skin through years of training. She leaned over and said obediently: "Master, I know you have great powers and you will definitely find a way."
Yun Youzi snorted and looked away.
At this time, Gu Jinyun stepped forward, bowed and said: "Master, if you have any idea, please help me. Gu will never complain when he is on horseback."
Yun Youzi said: "Your wife has been seriously ill, weak and weak. She has been traveling and toiling for many years, and her body has suffered serious losses. I can't help you."
Qi Surong looked disappointed. She knew that Yun Youzi would definitely not hesitate to save people if he had the means. Since he said no, that means no.
Yun Youzi said to Gu Jinyun again: "Be nice to your wife, she has suffered too much for you."
"Gu knows." Gu Jinyun stood beside Qi Surong, lowering his head and staring at her deeply.
Yun Youzi looked at the pair with a smile in his eyes.
The two of them had lunch at Yunyouzi's house, leaving behind a lot of specialties and some silver, and returned disappointed.
Gu Jinyun said: "Surong, from now on we can ask Yufeng or your brother Subao to adopt a child for us. They won't refuse."
Qi Surong naturally knew that they would not refuse, but deep down she still hoped to have her own child. Unfortunately, this will probably become her only regret in this life.
There are some things in this world that cannot be forced upon. Now that you have received eternal peace and happiness, what qualifications do you have to ask for anything else
Qi Surong raised her head and asked, "Jinyun, would you abandon me if I didn't have a child?"
"Unless I die." I have two people for the rest of my life, and you are enough for me in this life. Gu Jinyun will never let go of this woman's hand. She is the only one in the world who knows him, loves him, waits for him, supports a family for him, travels thousands of miles for him, never leaves, never complains or regrets. If you have a wife like this, what more could you ask for
The two let go of this regret and began to get back on track.
Gu Jinyun took over the family business, checking the accounts and sorting out information every day. Qi Surong, on the other hand, concentrates on embroidery and fabric art, intending to carry forward the skills he has collected and learned in the past few years. She had promised back then that she would return all the dowry her mother had lost. Although the original items could no longer be recovered, Qi Surong bought a new set of more valuable jewelry for her mother, which also included several land deeds and land deeds.
Gu Yufeng, who didn't like doing business, ran away almost crying with joy after being freed from the sea of misery. He had no other talents but martial arts. When he had nothing to do and was light-hearted, he decided to apply for the martial arts examination, inherit his father's inheritance, and join the army.
He was highly skilled in martial arts and favored by others. The next year he was successfully admitted as a military officer and happily went to the south to earn military merit.
Gu Jinyun's younger sister Gu Shuangshuang married his good friend He Zhe. He fell in love with both at first sight that day, and after several years of getting along, Gu Jinyun reluctantly married his sister to him. Both are as intelligent as children, and he originally wanted to raise her for the rest of his life.
Then, he sent people to the Western Regions to find Tut who had rescued him, gave him money and thanks, and invited him to settle in the capital. Unfortunately Tut rejected it.
Qi's father resigned from his official position and settled down to spend his old age at home, playing chess and fishing, which was very satisfying.
Qi Surong's younger brother Subao was transferred to the capital after one year in office and was temporarily appointed as the Secretary-General of the fifth rank.
In the same year, he married the daughter of Zhongshu's minister. The couple had a deep love and a bright future.
Although Qi Surong did not disclose her identity as Zhuo Fan, most people who knew her knew it in their hearts and only admired her, not despised her.
Qi Surong solemnly apologized to the elder who had been kind to her, and inadvertently introduced him to Yun Youzi. The two hit it off and became the two longest-lived elders in the capital.
Although the Qi family and the Gu family are not nobles, and they have no sons and nephews holding important positions in the court, the entire capital's dignitaries have to give them three points. The emperor favored him very much, and most of the officials from the three public and six ministries had good relations with him. It can be said that he had many great scholars in his comings and goings, and no idlers in his dealings.
Gu's Trading Company has been running smoothly, its scale has been expanding day by day, many of its products have been exported to foreign countries, and it has gradually developed into the home of the richest man.
Qi Surong concentrated on studying embroidery, and his skills improved rapidly. His embroidery works were praised by the queen many times, and his reputation as a national embroidery master was well-known at home and abroad.
As for Luo Yanyi, she was eventually escorted back to Beijing by Feng Zhan, and no news was heard from her and the Eighth Prince again.
Five years have passed by in a hurry, and if Qi Surong has any regrets, it is her children. This is also one of the things that people in the capital talk about. Qi Surong, who was nearly twenty-seven or eighty years old, had never been pregnant. Everyone said that she had this flaw because of her overflowing blessings.
Many relatives and friends had privately advised Gu Jinyun to take a concubine to continue his relationship, but he was severely scolded and expelled from the house. From then on, no one dared to mention this matter.
Gu Jinyun couldn't bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Qi Surong. The rest of the Gu family also protected her very much and couldn't bear the slightest grievance for her. Under the care of her family, Qi Surong gradually began to look down on her. She was so happy in this life, and her wishes were enough, and she had nothing more to ask for.
On this day, Qi Surong was doing embroidery in the courtyard, and the warm sunshine was pouring down, making her feel soft. She yawned slightly, squinted her eyes, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, her expression changed, she covered her mouth and retched several times.
Is it a bad stomach? Qi Surong thought to himself, it seemed that all he ate today was light food. Yun Youzi gave her a recipe a few years ago and told her to follow the recipe to regulate her body. Since then, Jin Yun has arranged all her meals. In the past few years, she has been kept fat and healthy, and she has never gotten sick again.
Therefore, the sudden retching surprised her, but she didn't care. Who knew if it was because she didn't sleep well last night, or for some other reason
Qi Surong stood up and decided to go to the room to catch up on some sleep.
In the next few days, she had vomiting from time to time, and then she started to take it seriously. To avoid Jinyun's worries, she went to see the doctor in private...
That night, a series of surprise murmurs erupted in Gu Jinyun's room, and they didn't stop for a long time...
