Gu Sui'er definitely doesn't understand what means means or not.
She was a little disappointed when she heard that Xiao Heng was not in the house, but she breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to her room and began to work with needlework. Her tadpole is already six months old and will be born in more than three months. She needs to make some small clothes and shoes first.
In fact, the old lady said that there was no need for her to do it, as she was afraid that she would damage her eyes while doing needlework while pregnant. She said that there were many embroiderers in the house who could make all kinds of children's clothes and supplies, and they were all very good.
But Gu Sui'er couldn't sit still. She had been handy since she was a child. She would come to her for help when she wanted to cut new clothes or find gadgets made by others. The little baby wore new clothes, a small bellyband and tiger shoes. She used to I also made it for A Liu next door, and I am very familiar with it.
She begged some fabrics from the old lady. They were all of the highest quality, soft and slippery in her hands, and she began to make clothes for her little tadpole stitch by stitch.
She sat there embroidering the patterns on the uppers of her shoes, while Nanny An next to her was talking back and forth, occasionally serving tea and water.
"Little madam, you are such a wonderful person. You can still do this thing. I can't do this at such an old age!"
Nanny An was also the old lady's companion at first, and later she served Xiao Heng in the yard. She may not be very proud in front of her master, but she can still manipulate the little girl below her at will. She has not done this kind of needlework for many years. .
"My dear madam, I've made the bird's nest soup boil in the kitchen. Drink some. It nourishes your body and is good for the baby in your belly."
After hearing this, Gu Sui'er put down what she was doing, took the bird's nest soup and drank it slowly.
Although she had seen the world as a helper at the town inn before, she had never seen this bird's nest soup. Thanks to Aunt An's nagging, she also knew that this bird's nest soup was a good thing and could nourish children.
She actually doesn't quite understand why this bird's nest soup smells like raw eggs despite how good it is.
But as long as it's good for the tadpole, even if she doesn't like the taste too much, she will try to swallow it.
After finishing the bird's nest soup, she remembered: "Mother An, didn't you say a few days ago that the bird's nests were almost gone? Why are they always there these days?"
Aunt An put away the bowl and said with a smile: "Little madam, I forgot to tell you. It was the eldest lady who sent someone to ask. She knew that there were not many bird's nests left, so she specially sent a box with 20 bird's nests in it. A few cups, I think it’s enough to last a month.”
Gu Sui'er felt grateful after hearing this. Although this eldest lady always had a cold and indifferent face, which seemed a bit scary at first glance, she was actually very nice. She had been here for so long, and she was so grateful both inside and outside. took care of her.
"Then should I go thank Madam?"
"The good things in our room are either rewarded by the old lady or sent here by the eldest lady. If you thank me every day, you won't be able to thank me. I don't think the young lady should worry about it too much. I just want to see you in front of the old lady someday." Yes, just mention it. In fact, a mere bird's nest is nothing in this prince's mansion, so for Baba to step forward to thank you is a bit shameful."
When Gu Sui'er heard this, she thought that she was a person who had never seen the world in the first place. Since her grandma said that it was a shameless thing to do, she might as well forget it.
"Then I will go to the old lady tomorrow to say hello. If I meet the eldest lady, I will mention it and thank her."
"Yes, that's how it should be."
After eating the bird's nest soup, the tadpoles in her stomach seemed a little unable to hold back and were kicking. Gu Sui'er let Grandma An support her and walked back and forth in the yard.
She was used to being busy in the countryside. When she first entered the Marquis's mansion, she didn't go out much except to go to the old lady to say hello. She felt depressed after staying in the house all day, so she wanted to go out for a walk in the yard when she had nothing to do.
Although this Bamboo Garden only has bamboos and no other flowers and plants, it is still green, so it is good for your eyes to take a leisurely look.
As he was walking, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Before he knew what was going on, a man with an imposing figure stepped into the yard.
It's Xiao Heng.
The robe Xiao Heng is wearing now is different from last night and this morning. Although it is also a crimson robe, the hem, sleeves, and neckline of the robe are embroidered with various complicated and exquisite patterns. There is also a white jade belt around the waist. The whole person looks better than he did this morning. More valuable.
Maybe not only the gold is expensive, but also the momentum is different.
Now he looks very majestic, even more majestic than the county official.
I just got to know Xiao Heng a little bit before, but now he suddenly changed.
Gu Sui'er stood next to the bamboo, stroking her belly and feeling a little at a loss.
Xiao Heng saw her when he entered the yard. He was slightly startled, and then walked to her side.
He came over, obviously wanting to talk to her, but he didn't speak and just stood beside her.
This made Gu Sui'er very uncomfortable. She thought about it and understood that one of the two people must speak first.
If he doesn't say it, let her do it.
"My slave has met the third master." She imitated Baoya's speech and said this.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Heng's eyes changed when he looked at her.
That familiar feeling came again, and Gu Sui'er once again felt that she had done something wrong.
As for what she did wrong, she still didn't know.
Xiao Heng saw the confusion in her eyes and knew that she didn't understand, so he finally said: "In the future, don't call yourself a slave."
Gu Sui'er didn't understand even more: "Then... what do I call myself?"
She had seen the concubine of the Marquis, but she had never seen how the concubine called her in front of the Marquis, so she didn't know what she should call herself in front of Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng's eyes moved down and landed on her belly.
Her belly was quite pointed, which didn't match her slender figure.
He suddenly remembered the feeling when he put his hand on it that day, when she was desperately trying to make the little baby inside move.
It's just that the little kid doesn't give me much face.
"The fetus in your belly is my child, the first child." Xiao Heng looked around and said it.
"Hmm." Gu Sui'er didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he didn't interrupt and just nodded softly.
"The mother of my child cannot call herself a slave." Xiao Heng's voice had a strange sense of seriousness.
"Yeah." Gu Sui'er didn't understand the issue of a title. She didn't quite understand how to bring this up, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just waited patiently for him to continue.
However, Xiao Heng said nothing.
He took a step closer and raised his hand to touch her belly.
He was so tall that he had to lower his head to touch her belly. When he lowered his head, his chin was almost next to her ear.
Gu Sui'er's whole body was stiff and she didn't dare to move at all.
Whenever she moved, her ears would rub against his chin.
From her angle, she could even clearly see his strong jaw and the Adam's apple on his neck.
The male Adam's apple was unfamiliar to her. Although she was engaged to Brother Shitou, she had only spoken to him from afar since he grew up.
She had never seen a man's Adam's apple so close.
Perhaps the tadpole in his belly sensed his mother's nervousness, so he actually kicked his belly.
"Why!"
The kick came suddenly, and she was caught off guard and screamed.
Xiao Heng, who was beside her, subconsciously held her waist.
"What's wrong?" A low and cold voice came into his ears.
"No..." She shook her head slightly: "It's okay. He moved just now and kicked me."
Hearing this, Xiao Heng lowered his head and looked at her belly again.
He actually felt it.
Just when his hand was placed on her belly, there was a soft force squirming and kicking inside.
This is his child.
Xiao Heng looked at it for a long time and nodded: "Yes, he moved."
Gu Sui'er was kicked, and after slowly recovering, she glanced at Xiao Heng.
"Third Master...then, how should I call myself?"
It was a question she hadn't forgotten yet.
Xiao Heng raised his eyes and looked at her: "What do you call yourself now?"
Gu Sui'er: "Huh?"
what? What
Xiao Heng: "You should speak the same way you spoke before."
She is not his wife, just a concubine.
I want to call myself concubine, but Xiao Heng doesn’t like it.
So, just follow her call.
He doesn't care what other people think of it.
Gu Sui'er fell into deep thought, what on earth was he talking about? She didn't understand at all.
Xiao Heng looked at her thoughtful look and said calmly, "I entered the palace today, and the emperor rewarded you with something. I have sent someone to the yard. You can take a look at it when you return to the room."
Gu Sui'er wondered: "Give it to me?"
Xiao Heng: "Yes."
Gu Sui'er became even more puzzled: "Why should you reward me?"
Xiao Heng didn't bother to explain this kind of problem: "No reason."
Gu Sui'er: "I don't know the emperor, how could he give me something nice?"
Xiao Heng: "..."
He glanced at Nanny An next to him, signaled Nanny An to take good care of Gu Sui'er, and then went straight into the house.
Gu Sui'er was left trying to figure out what she had encountered.
"What Third Master actually means is that I can call myself myself. I am who I am. I don't have to say that I am a slave, right?"
Gu Sui'er figured this out with her fingers.
"But why does the emperor want to reward me with something? He doesn't know me, and I don't know him either? The third master knows the emperor. Could it be that the emperor rewarded me because of the third master? That seems to be the case."
Gu Sui'er finally figured out this fact.
After figuring out these things, Gu Sui'er suddenly felt very satisfied.
She understood that the Marquis's residence was different from their village.
She was also pregnant, and the villagers regarded the tadpoles in her belly as evil and laughed at her and pitied her, but the Marquis treated the tadpoles in her belly as a treasure and pampered and protected her.
Because of the tadpole in her belly, she received so much love in the prince's mansion that even the emperor in the palace wanted to give her something.
And Xiao Heng, he just-
Gu Sui'er recalled the feeling when he touched her belly.
A smile escaped her lips unconsciously.
He felt the tadpole kicking.
After returning to her house, Gu Sui'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This level has been overcome.
Turning around to look at Nanny An, I saw that Nanny An was frowning and saying, "The third master asked the young lady to come back to rest, but he left the two girls Bao Ya and Jin Fu to take care of her."
Gu Sui'er thought about it and felt grateful: "Master San is such a nice person."
Aunt An: "No, not good, not good at all!"
Gu Sui'er was puzzled and looked at Nanny An suspiciously.
Aunt An said earnestly: "Little madam, think about it, it's been a long time since the third master came back. When he came back, he didn't get close to the little madam, and he didn't want to be served by the young lady. He actually wanted those two bitches to serve him. What do you think? Think about it, what is the third master thinking?"
Gu Sui'er frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood everything.
If she was completely confused and confused when Grandma An talked about the treasured duck Golden Fu countless times in front of her before, she didn't understand why Grandma An didn't like the treasured duck Golden Fu at all.
But now, it seems that the three souls and seven souls have returned to their places, as if the mountain wind has blown her away, and her not-so-enlightened brain suddenly has a bright idea, and it just becomes enlightened.
Sometimes, it only takes a moment and an opportunity for people to understand something they have never understood.
Who are Bao Ya and Jin Fu? They are people who have been serving the Third Master for several years.
If Bao Ya and Jin Fu were sleeping with their bellies, they would be like him.
One is rare, two are not so rare, and three are like piggy gongs running on the ground, worthless. If four of them come by chance, they won't even look at them.
Gu Sui'er, who wanted to understand this, knew that she must make the tadpole in her belly the "rare" one.
So just when Grandma An was about to continue to persuade the master who was not very good at helping the mud to climb up the wall, she heard the "little lady of mud" suddenly say: "I have to go back and serve the third master. "
ah
Grandma An was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes, you have to go back, you can't take advantage of those two cheap girls!"
But Gu Sui'er wanted to ask clearly: "Mother An, that treasure duck and Jin Fu, the two of them..."
She thought about it for a while, then asked: "Have you ever served in front of Third Master? That's the one who served you?"
