Gu Sui'er was led out of the room, passed through crescent gates and corridors, and finally came to a courtyard. The yard is quite big, many times bigger than her previous home.
The person who led her here was called "Wang Kaishun's family." This Wang Kaishun's family introduced her: "This is the residence of our third young master. It's called Tingzhuyuan."
After saying that, he entered the house and saw that it was extremely gorgeously decorated. The bed was made of dark red wood with exquisite patterns carved on it. The curtain was light blue, very soft and thin, and the soft gauze given as a betrothal gift. Quite similar.
After sitting down, Wang Kaishun's family introduced the grandmother and maid beside them.
The grandma's surname is An, and her name is Grandma An. There are four maids beside her, wearing a slick indigo dress and a silver hairpin on her head. The eldest is about the same age as Sui'er, and they are named Bao Ya and Jin Fu. , and there are two younger ones with childish looks on their faces, named Jingyue and Yaoguang.
In the end, Wang Kaishun's family said: "If anything happens, Aunt An will tell you slowly. If you need it, just ask the girl to come and tell me. Of course, I will do everything for you, but I can't do it." Yes, there is a lady up there who can make decisions for you."
Gu Sui'er had never seen such a formation at home. She didn't know what to say at the moment and just nodded slightly.
When Wang Kaishun left, Grandma An helped Gu Sui'er sit down, handed her some tea, and asked if she was hungry.
Gu Sui'er was indeed a little hungry, but she just didn't have time to open her mouth. When Nanny An saw her, she ordered the two little maids to go outside to get some food for Gu Sui'er to eat.
"It's not time for serious meals yet, so let's eat some snacks first."
Gu Sui'er looked at it and thought it was a make do, but those snacks were countless times more exquisite than those eaten during the New Year at home, with red silk and green stripes, made into flowers and leaves.
Aunt An helped Gu Sui'er get some snacks from the side, and persuaded Gu Sui'er to eat more: "It's a twin after all, please use it more, little madam."
Gu Sui'er was not used to having people standing next to her while she was eating. When they were at home, they would sit in the yard and eat together as a family of four. But she knew it was different now. This was a completely different place from their village.
Gu Sui'er didn't care what would happen to her, but now she was not only worried about herself, but also worried about the tadpole in her belly.
The little tadpole was reborn in her belly, and his life was already very miserable. She always had to make plans for him.
Don't let it be looked down upon in this world, and don't let it taste the bitterness that it has experienced.
Therefore, although Gu Sui'er felt uncomfortable, she endured it in the end, knowing that she had done something wrong and was afraid that she would make others laugh.
While eating, the person named Bao Ya next to me suddenly said: "Mother An, please wait here for me first. I remembered that I still haven't finished a trick that the second wife asked me to do. I have to go back to the house. Go get busy."
Grandma An raised her eyes and smiled: "Since Miss Baoya has something to do, let's go and do it first."
Bao Ya looked at Gu Sui'er with a smile and said goodbye.
Jin Fu, who was next to him, saw her and found a reason to leave. Only Aunt An, Gu Sui'er and the two little maids were left in the room.
While serving Gu Sui'er, Nanny An said with a smile: "These two girls were rewarded by the emperor. They have been waiting in front of the third master. For those who don't know, they thought they were part of the family."
Gu Sui'er was startled, stopped, and looked at Nanny An in confusion.
She didn't understand what Nanny An said, but she had a vague feeling that the two girls were probably dissatisfied with her.
Aunt An felt a little distressed when she saw that this young lady was obviously beautiful and charming, but her eyes were blank and stupid. She was so confused that she didn't know the situation in front of her. She thought about the country girl who had never seen the world and was leaning on her belly. When the child entered the Hou Mansion, he probably didn't know the north, south, east, and west.
He felt pity at the moment, so he comforted him and said: "What are you doing to those who are making trouble? There are old ladies above you who love you. If you have anything, just say you have a stomachache. Who dares to do anything to you? It's the eldest lady, right?" The Third Master loves me all the time. You have the Third Master’s child in your belly, no one dares to do anything to you!"
Gu Suier:…
After a long moment, he nodded.
That night, Gu Sui'er lay down. The room was quite cool, not as stuffy as the kang at home, but Gu Sui'er couldn't sleep and only stared at the soft green gauze tent.
She thought of Nanny An's words, and she felt uneasy after all. Although the palace was as magnificent as the fairy mansion in the New Year paintings, the people inside were always incomprehensible.
After thinking for a long time, I finally closed my eyes. Suddenly, in the darkness, those dark eyes appeared again, as well as the rapid and hot breathing, and the pain and surge that seemed to tear my body apart.
Gu Sui'er trembled and bit her lip, trying desperately not to think about those things.
She shook her hands and touched the tadpoles in her belly. The tadpoles seemed to sense her uneasiness and swam happily in her belly. For a moment, it seemed as if they were gently pecking her hand through her belly.
She seemed to be strangely comforted by something, and the frightened mood gradually faded away, and finally she fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gu Sui'er lived in the Hou's Mansion for more than ten days, and her stomach was getting stronger every day. She gradually got to know the people in the Hou's Mansion.
Old Ruiding Hou was also a commoner at that time. He was raised in a temple and did not even know who his parents were. Later, because of his outstanding military exploits, he was given the surname Xiao, made a marquis, and married the current princess.
Today, Mrs. Ruiding Hou has three sons in total. The eldest son and the second son are already married, but the third master, named Aheng, is nineteen years old and has not yet been married.
The third master's room was mostly filled with servants. The two maids, Bao Ya and Jin Fu, were rewarded by the emperor a few years ago, and were different from the other two little maids.
Because of the emperor's reputation, it can be said that he is quite arrogant in the room. What Aunt Yi'an means is that Gu Sui'er should teach Bao Ya and Jin Fu a lesson, so that people can know who is in charge in this room now.
But Gu Sui'er didn't have that confidence.
As far as she is concerned, being able to survive and being able to protect the tadpoles in her belly is already a blessing from the Bodhisattva. As for who bullies whom and who should decide, what does it have to do with her
Besides, it's not her decision.
When Grandma An saw it, she hated the iron but felt sad and pitiful: "You have a weak temper, so there is nothing we can do. We can only suffer more in front of the old lady, so that the old lady can pity you more."
As she said that, Nanny An even came close to Gu Sui'er and whispered: "Madam, you don't know, even though there are three grandsons in the house, the old lady valued our third master the most in the past. She would never give a shit about what the third master wants." Yes, it hurts more than the first two masters. What you are carrying in your belly is the flesh and blood of the third master. Anyone who dares to make you angry will offend the old lady."
It's a pity that Gu Sui'er didn't understand. She asked, "Now the two sisters Bao Ya and Jin Fu are busy with their own affairs, and I am at ease. Isn't it great?"
Nanny An was stunned, looked at Gu Sui'er, and then at Gu Sui'er.
She was originally a beauty, but now that she dressed her up, she looked like a fairy. Her skin was as sparkling as the snow on the mountains, her eyes were as wet as autumn dew, and she was so delicate and bright that it made people feel unbearable.
But it was such a person with such moving eyes that only showed confusion and confusion.
She really didn't understand why he asked her to file a complaint, let alone why he had to deal with those two little bitches Bao Ya and Jin Fu!
"Hey -" Nanny An let out a long sigh: "Little madam, why are you so confused?"
Could it be that he is a fool!
Upon hearing this, Gu Sui'er said seriously: "My mother said that I once hit a rock when I was a child, and I have been a bit stupid since then."
Grandma An:…
This really left Grandma An speechless!
As he was talking, he heard movement outside, but it turned out that Wang Kaishun's family had specially brought someone to deliver something, and what they delivered was a food box.
"The emperor specially ordered this to be sent here today. He said that it was the freshest and freshest from the west. He rushed to the palace and specially selected it to honor our old lady. The old lady said that some should be distributed to each of the rooms below, so I specially kept them. Come up with a good one and ask me to deliver it as soon as possible."
Wang Kaishun's family said with a smile: "The old lady also said that although this fresh fruit is sweet, you should not eat too much. She said that you are pregnant now and cannot freeze the child."
After hearing this, Gu Sui'er hurriedly bowed her head and thanked her.
Wang Kaishun's family looked at Gu Sui'er and saw that she was delicate and tender, fresh and beautiful. She was clearly pregnant with the blood of the third master, but she didn't look at Qiao at all. He liked her at the moment, so he said with a smile: "I am I really care about you, so go over to the old lady in the evening to say hello, and remember to thank her, you know?"
Gu Sui'er was already very familiar with Grandma An, but she had never been familiar with this smart and capable member of the Wang Kaishun family. Now she was trembling in front of her and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Yes, I will remember it."
Wang Kaishun's family stood there, talked to Grandma An for a while, gave some instructions, and then left.
After Wang Kaishun's family left, Nanny An looked at the fruits with a smile. There were crystal grapes, cantaloupes from the south, and lychees. They were all beyond the reach of ordinary people. There was still a little bit of ice on the outside. She knew It was put on ice and delivered quickly.
Nanny An quickly came over and cleaned the fruits. Then she held them in front of Gu Sui'er and said with a smile: "Here, although this is a bit cold, it shouldn't matter if you eat a little. Let's have a taste."
The smile was so loving.
Gu Sui'er didn't care whether she ate or not, but now that Aunt An was smiling so kindly, she was a little touched. Thinking about entering this house these days, she felt at a loss. Thanks to this An Grandma offered some comfort here, then nodded, took a grape and ate it.
When I entered my mouth, I felt it was extremely sweet and refreshing, so I couldn't help but eat another one.
While serving Gu Sui'er and eating fruits, Nanny An said with a smile: "Madam, look at the Wang Kaishun family. When they met me before, they probably didn't even look at one of them, but now they talk to me kindly. Come to think of it, this is all because of you, the lady that my mother-in-law is serving now!"
Gu Sui'er didn't understand these things, but when she saw Nanny An happy, she felt happy for her.
They were eating fruits here, and the door curtain was opened, but Bao Ya and Jin Fu came in. The two of them took a look at the fruits on the table, and then stepped forward to serve them.
Gu Sui'er saw the look in their eyes and knew that they wanted to eat, so she said to Aunt An: "Auntie, take some and taste it yourself, and give it to Bao Ya and Jin Fu to taste too."
Bao Ya and Jin Fu looked at each other, a little embarrassed, and stepped forward and said, "We don't want to eat."
Grandma An smiled: "My dear madam, she is a measured person, not someone who cares about every detail."
Having said that, Baoya and Jinfu didn't dare to eat it.
They are all working in the Hou Mansion. Even though they are not angry, they also know how to behave.
This woman from the countryside won the favor of her father and became pregnant with blood, so her status was different from theirs.
They have been working as maids for so many years, and they have never succeeded in becoming a married woman. After all, there is no comparison.
Gu Sui'er didn't know what Bao Ya and Jin Fu were thinking. She actually thought very simply. As long as she could legitimately give birth to the child in her belly and not become a scolded bastard, then she would be fine. Satisfied.
As for what others had wronged her, it didn't matter.
No matter how wronged he is, can he be as wronged as when he was in Gujiazhuang
So even though Aunt An tried to persuade her in every possible way, when she went to greet the old lady that night, she didn't say anything bad about anyone.
When the old lady asked, she always said yes.
And the eldest princess Shengping, the old lady of Ruidinghou Mansion, has seen countless things in the world in her life, and she can see clearly everyone's thoughts even if she is in front of her.
Now she is looking forward to seeing this little girl from the country more and more.
Although she sometimes looks a little silly, she is responsible for her duties, contented, and does not fight for anything. She is as wise as a fool, and her temperament is somewhat like that of her imperial sister-in-law, the filial piety and virtuous empress dowager.
"Sui'er, please stay at home peacefully. A-Heng will be back in a few days."
Aheng…
Gu Sui'er, who was already contented, felt a thump in her heart and raised her eyes in surprise.
Then the old lady saw a trace of clearly visible panic and confusion in her young daughter-in-law's clear and compelling eyes.
She hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be afraid. Although Aheng doesn't talk much, he is an honest child and will never wrong you."
honest boy
