Chapter Seventy-Five: The Old Turtle
At the end of June, people who are already hot no longer want to step out of the house, and the sun outside is drying in the morning.
Even the flowers and plants dug up from the big yard at the two ends of the Qingyuan garden in the courtyard on weekdays for three days are also sluggish and can't raise their heads, but in the morning, it is even more difficult to endure at noon.
The school has stopped the students from going to class, and it is closed until the beginning of August.
On that day, Miss Hu San asked people to send pears over, and the Hu family also sent a basket to the Gu family, and each room was divided into each room to eat a mouthful.
Gu Anning had a heart, so he gave one to the second lady, and the Rong family and the third lady also sent one each, and after eating a few of them, the rest was distributed to the maids in the courtyard.
However, he also sent a silver ticket of 3,000 taels, which was the money for the wall stone bead curtain business, and the account book was also calculated for half a year.
Thinking about it, the book in his hand was dry again, and he leaned back on the chair lazily.
The hotter the day, the more plane trees stand in the garden near the main courtyard, the Gu family's house is a plane tree in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and several large entrances in the center are planted with mulberry trees, all of which are century-old trees, which is enough to show that this is the inheritance of the Gu family for generations.
When she lived in the North Garden, she didn't feel hot in the middle of summer, because the house was next to the plane tree, and listening to the chirping outside every day could relieve her boredom.
But now listening to the constant sound outside, I can't even read the book, I always feel the heat and dryness in my heart is also a little stuffy, and after half a ring, I stood up and went out of the inside, looking at Ning's mother and Qingzhu who were sitting at the door, half-squinting, the sun shining on the ground at the beginning of the day and the white and yellow thorns couldn't open their eyes.
"Why did the girl come out, it's a big day, and it's a little hotter outside than inside. "Mother Ning is in charge of things on weekdays, she takes the maids in the yard to do embroidery work, and the clothes in the girls in each yard are made by the mothers.
What's more, she is still the one who will marry the Jiang family to be the general's wife in the future! Mother Ning is happy about these things on weekdays, and the girl is also generous. The more joy there is, the less anger there is, and the more hope there is.
Gu Anning sighed, there was no wind outside today, and there was a rush of heat coming to his face, and he wanted to let people toss and toss those things on the plane tree. After thinking about it, he turned around and went in.
Approaching noon, the sun was not as sunny as at noon, Qingyuan went to the laundry room to get clothes, and when he came back, he was sweating profusely. Qingzhu, who provoked it, retreated far away.
"Look at the smell of sweat all over your body, you can't walk well, it's just hot. Qingzhu said something to her, Qingyuan smiled hesitantly, and hurriedly took the package containing the clothes in. "Girl, there's a happy event in the East Courtyard. ”
Qingyuan's face was overjoyed, but because he knew that his girl had found a recipe and sent it to the third lady every day, and now the third lady was happy, but it was the girl's credit.
Hearing this, Gu Anning was stunned and didn't react for a while. Half ringing only then did I remember that the third lady lived in the east courtyard.
"Happy event, the third lady is pregnant?" Gu Anning went to the sixth door to ask An before, and saw that the third lady's face was ruddy, and besides, she asked Qing Glaze to send medicine again a while ago, and it was already a fetal pill.
Qingyuan saw that her girl said this accurately, and it was not a little strange, as if she had expected it a long time ago, and she was a little disappointed at the moment, so she happily ran back to tell the girl the good news.
"The emotional girl has known for a long time!"
Naturally, the third lady vaguely told her that she didn't make a sound, and now it's time to make no publicity, and the hot day adds joy to people, so naturally it's not so boring.
But those who should be bored will still be bored. As soon as the third lady was pregnant, she had sent a letter to the capital earlier, and the old lady happily went directly to the east courtyard after learning about it.
After Mrs. Jifang learned about it, it was inevitable that she would have to go on this hot day.
I haven't arrived at the East Courtyard yet. The fourth lady complained. "Who hasn't been pregnant with this body, and has made such a big battle, I thought it was a great joy, that is, an old clam with a pearl. ”
The third lady married into the Gu family at fifteen, and the first child was a daughter, Gu Moran has been married for two years, almost three years, and now the third lady has three out of thirty, and there are many children at this age. And Gu Moxin is the second daughter, and now she is raised in the boudoir, and she has passed fifteen, and she should get married last year.
The third room is out, the big room has Gu Anqing, and the fourth room has Gu Yutian Gu Fable, two boys, but there is no boy in the third room, and it is useless to be anxious all these years, and there is no movement after giving birth to the second daughter.
Even if you have succeeded the concubine and raised it in front of you, you are still afraid of raising a white-eyed wolf, otherwise you will ask the doctor to prescribe prescriptions every year, and you will use all kinds of incurable diseases.
"It's better for the old mussel to have a pearl than not, who knows if it's a boy or a daughter!"
The fourth lady snorted, and unconsciously thought of Gu Anqing, her own two boys, the eldest son is talented and intelligent, and he became an official in the court at a young age, although he is not a big official, he is also an official. But children are inevitably worried, and the number of times they come back after traveling abroad all year round is only a handful.
But it is much more promising than this Gu Anqing, and now that he is doing business, he has even ruined the dowry of the Rong family, what hope can he have in the future, thinking of this, he also chuckled, and waved the treasure round fan into the courtyard in his hand.
It wasn't too late for the second lady to go, but Gu Anning came over together.
The third lady was most grateful to Gu Anning, seeing that she was coming, she didn't speak, and Gu Anning explained that this prescription should not be rumored to be rumored, and the meaning was to sink down for this prescription.
Yes, even if she sees Gu Anning coming now, the old lady is happy, if she says that this is her credit, it will be rewarded, and she will naturally understand when she enters the house and stands aside without saying a word.
"The third sister-in-law is really blessed, she finally got pregnant with her body after drinking the medicine jar on weekdays, and I don't know if she will be born a boy or a daughter in the future, if it is a daughter, she will have to marry outside. ”
The fourth lady really doesn't mention which pot, and there are many children in the belly who are looking forward to men, but who can say for sure!
As soon as she said this, the third lady now sank her face, and the old lady rarely showed her face to the fourth lady, and said in a deep voice. "It's not prosperous to have an heir, of course it's a man, and you don't have to say these things in front of her. ”
Seeing that the old lady was displeased, the fourth lady also closed her mouth and sat aside, and the eldest lady hurriedly played a round. "Regardless of whether the boy and daughter are all the grandchildren of the Gu family, if it is a daughter, it should be considered that there is no hope, if it is a man, everyone is happy, and it is better to relax.
