Chapter 602: The End of the Year
After Xu Cang and Chen Yueniang became married, their lives have not changed much from the past.
Both husband and wife live in Wutong House. During the day, Xu Cang was busy in his pharmacy as usual, preparing new medicines and writing medical books. Chen Yueniang, as in the past, stayed by Gu Wanning's side.
In the evening, Gu Wanning rested, and Chen Yueniang would return to the house.
Gu Guanning took the initiative to mention it a few times: "The master is now a relative, unlike in the past, when he was alone. Let's go back sooner!"
Chen Yueniang said with a smile: "He has to read medical books every night until midnight." I went back early, also alone. ”
After becoming a parent, Chen Yueniang's face became more and more ruddy, and the clothes she wore were brighter, looking younger than before. Xu Cang is more like an old tree blooming, and the perennial wooden face is also alive.
Chen Yueniang insisted on coming to work every day, and Gu Wanning had to follow her.
……
After the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the yamen of the imperial court began to take a holiday, and the court meeting was stopped. Except for the six Shangshu and a few cabinet elders who still had to work hard, the rest of the officials, big and small, were relieved.
However, the end of the year is also the best time for colleagues to walk around and give gifts to Shangguan, and they are also not allowed to be idle.
The trivial matters in the house are all taken care of by the crown princess.
Gu Wanning's entire mind was on the two children. By eight months, Gillian could already crawl forward, and her movements were very neat. Ah Yi was a little lazy, so he would just kick his calves and step back.
After experiencing the fright of the two children almost falling under the bed a few times, Gu Guanning ordered someone to clean up an empty room and come out.
There were no beds, no tables or chairs in the room, and the spacious room was covered with a thick blanket, which was soft and warm. The two children, dressed in satin jackets, crawled around on the carpet, giggling from time to time, and were very happy.
Gu Wanning deliberately dressed neatly and played on the carpet with the children.
The crown princess was busy with her feet and had no time to take care of Brother Qi and Brother Lin, so she asked the nurse and the maid to bring the two children to Wutong Residence.
Thus, the children who frolicked and rolled on the carpet became four......
The two uncles are exactly two years old, just over a year older than the two nieces and nephews. It's just right to play together.
Brother Lin is naughty by nature, and always takes advantage of the fact that adults are not paying attention, secretly pinching Gillian's fleshy little hands, as well as Ah Yi's delicate little face.
The root of the disease left in Qi Ge'er's brain is now gradually emerging. Not only is his speech not as neat as Brother Lin'er, but even his actions are a little sluggish. However, he is also exceptionally well-behaved and obedient.
Gu Wanning asked him to sit still, and he sat there obediently.
A room full of naughty bags, Qi Ge'er's quietness is particularly eye-catching, and it is also extremely pitiful.
Gu Guanning saw it in his eyes, and he was also a little embarrassed in his heart.
Xu Cang said that as he gets older, the development of Qi Ge'er's intelligence will become more and more obvious with Brother Lin'er. Now the children are still young and don't know what this gap means.
When Brother Qi grows up, he realizes that he is different from ordinary people, and sees the gap between himself and Brother Lin, how will he feel sad?
Brother Qi raised his head and grinned: "Sister-in-law." ”
Gu Wanning's eyes softened, and he beckoned to Brother Qi'er: "Brother Qi'er, come to sister-in-law." ”
Brother Qi came over happily.
Children are the most sensitive. Whoever is good to him will be close to him. In the past few months, Gu Guanning has felt more pity for Brother Qi'er, and Brother Qi has become more and more fond of coming to Gu Guanning's side.
Qi Ge'er snuggled up to Gu Guanning's side, Gu Guanning picked up the snack on the side, carefully broke it into small pieces, and sent it to Qi Ge'er's mouth.
Brother Qi opened his mouth and ate it in one bite, his mouth bulging with a happy face.
Brother Lin looked at the heat in his eyes, and immediately leaned over: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat too." ”
Gu Wanning pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, you can come over too." ”
Brother Lin also came over happily, and snuggled up to Gu Guanning with Brother Qi'er, left and right.
……
Gillian was originally crawling around on the carpet, but at this time she turned her head and snorted a few times. Then he crawled over. A pair of flexible eyes stared at Gu Wanning. Looking back and forth at Brother Qi and Brother Lin. is obviously dissatisfied with his mother's attention to others.
It's just a little leprea.
Ah Yi would only go backwards in the past, but now he didn't know how to open up, and he actually crawled over with Gillian. Lying side by side with Gillian, he also hummed a few times.
Gu Wanning's eyes were full of smiles, and he said softly: "Gillian is good, Ah Yi is also good." My mother was feeding your third and fourth uncles pastries just now. You two are still young, and you can't eat it yet. When I can eat it later, my mother will feed you. ”
Gillian Ah Yi didn't know if she understood, but she refused to move her body anyway, and she still hummed. Gillian even stretched out a pair of arms.
Gu Wanning had no choice but to hold Gillian into his arms first, stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Gillian's forehead: "You naughty bag, you are always so domineering." When you're older in the future, you can't do that. ”
The nurse on the side hurriedly picked up Ah Yi, and said with a playful smile: "This is the princess who cherishes the little lady, so she is holding on to the little lady first!"
replaced those who valued their heirs and despised their daughters, and they had to focus on their sons.
Gu Wanning chuckled lightly and adjusted her posture to make it more comfortable for Gillian to lie in her arms.
Her son and daughter are all her heart, and they love her all the same. It's just that women live in the world and are always more restrained than men. I want to be a little more spoiled.
Linlang stood by the door and reported with a smile: "Concubine Qi, there is another reward in the palace." It's all for the little lady and the little boy. ”
Because of Emperor Yuanyou's preference, the queen in the palace often rewarded Gillian and Ayi sisters and brothers, with food and clothing.
The palace of the king of Qi, the palace of the king of Wei, and the palace of the king of Han also have rewards from time to time.
Gu Wanning smiled casually: "Got it." I'll go over it. ”
There is a reward in the palace, and she has to come forward in person.
It was still Father-in-law Xi who came to deliver things.
"The slave has seen the princess. Father-in-law Xi saluted with a smile on his face: "The queen sent the servants and sent some clothes over." ”
Gu Wanning smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the reward." After Gonggong Xi returned to the palace, he thanked the imperial grandmother on my behalf. ”
Father-in-law Xi hurriedly smiled: "This is a matter of slavery. The queen also asked the servant to bring a few words. Now that all the provinces have added Ding, seeing that the New Year is coming, please ask the princess to bring the child into the palace and show it to the emperor and the mother. ”
Gillian and Ayi have been eight months, and they have never left the house for half a step, let alone entered the palace. Sister Yue of the Qi Palace, Sister Yu of the Wei Palace, and Brother Lang of the Han Palace, have never entered the palace.
Emperor Yuanyou Haolai has also seen Gillian and Ah Yi once, and several other children have not seen each other.
Empress Wang's move was obviously to please Emperor Yuanyou.
