Chapter 150: Chu Pei (2)
"Grandma, don't you see it, the few noble ladies in the southwest are here, the wives of the political envoys of Shu, Guizhou, and Yunnan, the prefects and wives of Yizhou, Dali and other places, and ......."
Mother Feng held a porcelain cup in one hand and a spoon in the other, feeding Gu Jialuo medicinal food spoonful by spoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info kept telling the scene of the three banquets outside.
"So many distinguished guests?"
Gu Jialuo was also a little surprised, it was not a full moon to wash the three, the days were too rushed, and many places were not close to Wumeng, and it would take a day or two to work quickly.
The guests can come so neatly today, presumably Qi Jinzhi ordered someone to send an invitation on the day she gave birth.
"No, the old slave heard that the wife of the political envoy of Xiao Bu in Shu was on her 60th birthday, and there were only so many guests who went to pay their respects."
Mother Feng fed Gu Jialuo a spoonful of medicinal food, took a handkerchief to her and wiped the corners of her mouth, and continued to talk excitedly.
In the southwest, the most valuable and the highest rank is probably the lady of the Xiao family. Xiao Bu's political envoy was born in the clan, his grandfather was the king of the county, and he was a cousin of his great-grandfather.
When it came to the generation of Xiao Bu's political envoy, his relationship with the royal family was already very far away, but his surname was Xiao, and he was studious since he was a child.
And Xiao Bu political envoy since childhood, taking the opportunity to study in the palace, and Prince An's mansion became friends, when he grew up, after the operation of Prince An's mansion, he was directly released to Yizhou to become a county.
Xiao Bu's political envoy is not a very capable magistrate, but he knows the rules of officialdom very well, and he is not too stupid.
The most important thing is that there is a towering tree in Prince An's Mansion behind him, and the promotion should not be too smooth.
No, just after the year of confusion, he was appointed by the sage as the political envoy of Shu, and became the feudal official of the herdsman side, with real power in his hands, and it was a beautiful scenery.
Xiao Bu's political envoy is the third grade, and his mother has naturally become the person with the highest command in the southwest, and she is also involved with the royal family, Mrs. Xiao Jiatai is definitely the first lady in the southwest, and her whole birthday banquet, how can she be too simple? !
Qi Jinzhi, a small prefect, invited guests to his daughter's three banquets, and the guests invited were on par with Mrs. Xiao's birthday banquet, which shows its grandeur.
As the mother of the child, Gu Jialuo can be happy for her daughter to have such a beautiful washing feast.
But she couldn't say this, she hurriedly swallowed the porridge in her mouth, and said hurriedly: "Mom, I can't say this anymore in the future." Sister Xing and Sister Fu are just two little milk babies, young and low-senior, how can they be compared with Mrs. Xiao Jiatai? β
Gu Jialuo also has a scruple, 'Happy Sisters' is not easy to come by, especially Sister Xiaofu, who is congenitally insufficient, she is afraid that she will hold the child too much and damage the child's blessings.
Mother Feng understood what Gu Jialuo meant, she was too happy just now, after all, the uncle was so enthusiastic to hold three banquets for the two little ladies, which was the importance of the children, and in the final analysis, it was even more important to Gu Jialuo, the wife.
Feng's mother is Gu Jialuo's nurse, and seeing Qi Jinzhi's performance like this, she is happy for her girl from the bottom of her heart.
She hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth, and scolded with a smile: "The old slave is so happy and confused that he can't even speak." Don't blame the grandmother, the old slave will never be like this in the future. β
Gu Jialuo nodded with satisfaction and continued the topic just now: "Are the two girls okay?" Not intimidated, right? β
Mother Feng's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Ouch, the old slave is about to talk about this." Our Sister Xing'er and Sister Fu are worthy of being the daughters of the uncle and grandmother, and they are extraordinary at a young age. So many distinguished guests watched, and they didn't have any timidity. It wasn't until the basin was added and Wen Po was washed that she cried so twice, and when the ceremony was over, there was no need to coax her, and the two little ladies stopped crying. β
Mother Feng said that she danced with her hands, and the porcelain cup in her hand almost overturned.
Gu Jialuo didn't pay attention to this, and happily listened to Feng's mother tell about the things outside.
Feng's mother said again: "It's a pity that some places are too far away from our Wumeng, and we can't catch up with it in three days." However, although they did not arrive, they still ordered someone to send congratulatory gifts, and repeatedly explained that when the little ladies were full moon, they would come to ask for a cup of wine to drink. By the way, I also touched the joy of grandma and sisters. β
Mother Feng said as she peeked at Gu Jialuo.
Although Qi Jinzhi did not dislike Gu Jialuo for giving birth to two daughters for him, and the guests who came from outside would not say bad things at the third banquet, some people (such as the Chu family) still revealed the 'regret' that 'the firstborn is not a son'.
It was still a few female relatives of Xiao Bu's political envoy who could speak, and praised the Gu family more than once for being so good at giving birth and raising Gu Yiren and being blessed.
Yes, the Gu family has an old practice of giving birth to twins, and Gu Jialuo also gave birth to two daughters in one go this time, although they are not sons, they can't stand the high efficiency of others.
What you can do twice can be done in one time, and it will definitely be half the effort.
And in the words of Xiao Bu's wife, "Blossom first, then bear fruit, Gu Yiren has the protection of gods and Buddhas, and he will be able to have both children and daughters, wealth and splendor." β
After Meng Bu's wife was unwilling, she also hurriedly agreed, and deliberately said in a ridiculous tone: "No, there is one, there are two, this year Gu Yiren got twin flowers, Ming'er and Hou'er are twins, maybe they can still be auspicious." β
The wives of the two political envoys both expressed their positions, and the other ladies also responded.
After some praise from them, Gu Jialuo seemed to have become a model of 'good birth and raising', many brides who had just passed the door and had not yet given birth, and even quietly asked the Chu family, who represented the Qi family's hospitality, about the secret of Gu's fertility.
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, grandma, didn't you see Mrs. Chu's expression?"
Mother Feng thought of Chu's stiff expression of non-crying and non-smiling, so she couldn't help but steal fun, leaned into Gu Jialuo's ear, and muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, it's as if someone else owes her two hundred and fifty taels of silver and hasn't paid it back." Fortunately, he also knew that he was restrained, so he didn't show it in front of people. It's just that I'm not sure how to get angry in my heart. β
The Chu family brought Chu Pei and Chu Yu sisters to the Qi family, and their purpose was simply 'Sima Zhao's heart', how could they hide an old man like Feng's mother who had been in the house all year round? !
Hmph, the other party came to pry the corner of the wall so unceremoniously, if Mother Feng can still be polite to her, then there is really a ghost.
Gu Jialuo listened to Feng's mother's words, and her heart was also very happy, but the Chu family was a relative of her mother-in-law's family, and her bad performance as a daughter-in-law was too obvious.
Coughing lightly, Gu Jialuo stopped in a low voice: "Mom, you can't say this in the future." β
After a pause, Gu Jialuo added: "In addition, she is the elder of the uncle after all, no matter what she thinks secretly, at least the face work still has to be done." β
"That's why she is disrespectful to the old," Feng's mother pouted, but the good general's wife insisted on learning the best style, and her Feng's mother just couldn't look down on it!
Gu Jialuo shouted with a little warning: "Mom! β
Mother Feng hurriedly picked up the porcelain cup and promised again and again, "I can save it, the old slave can save it." Grandma, let's continue to take medicinal food, your body needs to be well conditioned. β
recovered earlier, and it was better to have sex with the uncle earlier, so that someone would be completely dead.
Gu Jialuo had no objection to this, and swallowed the porridge that Feng's mother had sent to his mouth in one bite.
After a short time, Gu Jialuo ate the medicinal food in the porcelain cup.
Mother Feng twisted a wet handkerchief and wiped Gu Jialuo's mouth.
Gu Jialuo suddenly remembered something, and tapped the direction of the east side of the courtyard with his chin, "What about her?" Still in your room? β
"She is a good person, I heard the maid who served in the courtyard say that Mrs. Chu originally wanted to take her to entertain guests, but she refused,"
Mother Feng said with a little doubt: "Grandma, you said, is this matter Mrs. Chu's own idea, that person, she doesn't have this mind?" β
Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows, "Why does Mom think that?" β
Mother Feng is the most biased towards Gu Jialuo, and she is the one who should be the most wary of Chu Pei, but she actually said such a thing, obviously what Chu Pei did.
Mother Feng hesitated and said in a low voice: "The old slave was worried that she would give birth to a moth, so she specially asked Huixiang to serve in the East Cross Courtyard. From yesterday to today, Huixiang has been staring, but found that Chu Pei is either chanting scriptures or working as a female worker, and she doesn't even go out of the door, let alone inquire about anything in our family. β
Mother Feng thought for a while and gave an example, "It's that Chu Yu, who either ran out to wander around in the back office, or pulled the little maid to ask about the uncle." β
The completely different performances of the two sisters made Feng's mother can't help but have the illusion that it was Chu Yu who really intended to seduce the uncle, not Chu Pei.
"Chanting? Working as a female worker? β
Gu Jialuo leaned on the soft pillow, her eyes narrowed slightly, "I heard that Chu Peihe was sent to the nunnery by her family to recuperate after she left, could it be that she has been chanting since then?" Mom, is she really reciting the scriptures, or, orβ"Deliberately pretending?"
Mother Feng tried hard to think about it, and then replied seriously: "Huixiang said that Chu Pei is very religious, she wears a string of Bodhi Buddha beads in her hand, and the fourteen Buddha beads are all very smooth, and she looks like she is often playing. β
"Fourteen Buddha beads? Is she going to be 'Fourteen Dreadnought'? β
Gu Jialuo whispered. Because of Master Miaozhen, she has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures and is very familiar with some terms of Buddhism.
Fourteen fearless, Chu Pei is really concentrating on studying Buddhism?
Gu Jialuo silently drew a question mark in his heart.
After the three feasts were over, the nurses brought the two sleeping children over.
Gu Jialuo looked at them one by one, asked the nurse some questions, and made sure that the children were not abnormal, and then sent them out.
Looking out the window, Gu Jialuo called Feng's mother, "Now that the banquet is over, my aunt should come back, mother, you go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make some nourishing medicinal food, and then send it to your aunt in person." Let's just say that I am a hard-working aunt today, and I can't move and thank you in person. β
Mother Feng hurriedly responded, and after seeing that Gu Jialuo had no instructions, she quickly retreated.
Not long after, Feng's mother personally carried the food box to the East Cross Courtyard, saluted very respectfully, and then relayed Gu Jialuo's words.
Don't look at Mother Feng's heart, she has already scolded Chu and the others in her heart, but when she really faced it, there was no slackness or rudeness, and there was nothing unusual in her eyes.
After a busy day, the Chu family was really tired, seeing that Feng's mother was respectful and Gu Jialuo was able to do things again, he was very useful in his heart, and he ate a few mouthfuls of the medicinal food sent by Feng's mother very much.
Mother Feng saw Chu Shi falling, and showed a satisfied smile, she knew that her errand was completed.
Just as she was about to say a few kind words, and then salute and leave, Chu Pei stopped her: "Dare to ask Mother Feng, is my cousin's spirit okay today?" β
Mother Feng was stunned, and immediately replied: "It's better than yesterday, and the imperial doctor explained that she should continue to recuperate." "So you people, don't bother our grandmother.
Chu Pei didn't seem to hear the hint in Feng's mother's words, and said with a smile: "That's good." I did some embroidery work for my cousin-in-law overnight yesterday, and if Mother Feng wants to go back, I will go with you to see my cousin-in-law. β
Before Mother Feng could speak, Chu Yu on the side jumped up, "What? Sister, you, you actually do embroidery work for her? Or do you stay up and work overnight? You, you-"
In front of Feng's mother, Chu Yu didn't shout 'that woman' at all, but his words were full of disgust and hatred for Gu Jialuo.
Mother Feng couldn't help frowning. This second girl of the Chu family is really suspicious, standing on the ground of the Qi family, she still dares to scold the grandmother of the Qi family, she, is she sick in the brain or is she really stupid?!
"Yu'er, don't be rude!"
Chu Pei sank his face and reprimanded in a cold voice: "Or do you want Mother Niu to 'serve' you?" β
Mother Niu is the upbringing grandmother invited by the Chu family to the Chu sisters, she is the most strict, and she has a bullish temper, and no one will give face.
When Chu Yu was at home, he was most afraid of this mother.
As soon as he heard that Chu Pei was going to pick up Mother Niu, Chu Yu subconsciously shrank and quietly slipped aside, not daring to say another word.
When Chu Pei turned her head to look at Feng's mother, her face had already changed to a gentle smile, and she bowed slightly, "Yu'er is not sensible, if there is anything offended, please forgive my mother." Mom, let's go. β
Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Chu Pei was very well-behaved after arriving at the Qi family, and Mother Feng couldn't refuse directly, so she had to lead her to the main courtyard.
"Cousin-in-law, your complexion is much better today, and your body has recovered a little."
Chu Pei said with a light smile, his tone was calm and gentle, and his eyes were full of concern when he looked at Gu Jialuo, "At this rate, it won't take long for my cousin-in-law's body to recover, and maybe I don't have to wait until the full moon." β
Saying that, Chu Pei deliberately squeezed his eyes at Gu Jialuo, as if to say: In this way, my aunt can go back early, and your cousin-in-law will be clean.
Gu Jialuo was stunned, such Chu Pei actually gave people a sense of openness. She seems to be more reluctant to see her aunt than Gu Jialuo, and wants to leave the Qi family more than anyone else.
Chu Pei took out a small bag from his sleeve pocket, put it on the kang table, and gently untied it, revealing a piece of white muslin, "This is what I made specifically for my cousin-in-law, see if it's suitable!" β
Gu Jialuo looked at it, this thing should be a cotton cloth belt for wrapping. Could it be that Chu Pei gave it to her to 'girdle her belly'?!
Well, this is quite practical, and it is very important for women who have given birth to recover their body shape after giving birth.
But the question is, Chu Pei doesn't seem to have given birth, how does she know this?
Chu Pei seemed to see Gu Jialuo's doubts, and said faintly: "Actually, when my family forced me to leave, I was already two months pregnant...... In the end, I was 'aborted'! β
