Chapter 188: Pregnant
"I heard that the sixth child and Aunt Ru went to the West Courtyard?" The eldest lady asked.
"Yes, I'm going to deliver charcoal to my grandmother." Grandma Yuan replied.
"This sixth brother is quite good at stammering," the eldest lady said disdainfully: "If that girl is really an aunt, she can't get rid of the flattering bones of that subordinate, go and tell the Lin family to take good care of the people in his yard, don't think it's okay to sit back and relax when you're pregnant." β
"Yes, the princess has already gotten the news, and I heard that she punished Aunt Ru's kneeling that day." Grandma Yuan said, Lin Zhanmei is incompatible with Gui Mingyue, can she tolerate the people of Nanyuan to go to the West Courtyard?
"After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, but I heard that the shop outside the Gui clan is also useless, there are many nobles who have set a high price for the jade head earlier, and the Angelica Pavilion has not taken it out on time, delaying the big event, those nobles are about to sue the big shopkeeper in the shop to the court, but who doesn't know that the owner of this shop is the ...... in our house" Grandma Yuan whispered close to the ear of the eldest lady and said.
"Snort, it's time to let her eat and eat, seeing that Tian'er is relying on the majesty of the sensational dowry, it's okay to do whatever she wants, and see what kind of ability she has without money!" The eldest lady raised her head in a good mood and said with a smile: "In the past few days, Steward Huang has also come to report, saying that both the maid and the mother-in-law in the West Courtyard are honestly tight, and the mother-in-law who goes to get the ingredients every day is a smiling face, where is there still the domineering in the past." β
"Hey, even if they know each other, if they dare to show off their might like that now, I'm afraid they won't even be able to burn the bran charcoal." Grandma Yuan laughed out loud, her eyes full of disdain.
However, I have to say that the entire West Courtyard, whether it is the master or the subordinate, is quite able to judge the situation. When you ask for help, you know how to bow your head and show weakness, otherwise life will really get more and more difficult.
In this case, he told Steward Huang to remove the lean meat from the usual ingredients and replace it with fat. I'd like to see if they really bow their heads, or if they're pretending to fool me. The eldest lady still remembers the scene when Gui Mingyue first entered the door and waited for her to eat, thinking about it, she was still stuck in her throat, and she was just right to treat her at this time.
In the west courtyard, during dinner, Gui Mingyue saw a few greasy braised pork dishes, smelled the meat again, and suddenly vomited.
Grandma Cheng's face changed, and she was happy, and she was grateful to call the tortoiseshell over, and the tortoiseshell gave the young grandmother a pulse according to her words, and she was happy and surprised, and it took a long time to speak.
Young grandma, you are happy! It's not obvious because it's only two months old.
A room full of maids and mothers-in-law were happy, only Gui Mingyue frowned, and she didn't like it in her heart, but she just felt that this was not a good time, and the shop's business was ......
"Oh, my eldest and youngest grandmother, at this time, what kind of shop can you take care of, the most important thing right now is your stomach." Jin Qi'er spoke quickly, and as she spoke, she quickly removed the plate of oily braised pork, and instructed the small kitchen to write light porridge dishes again.
Silver Pendant was a little nervous for the first time, and pulled the tortoiseshell to ask about the matters that should be paid attention to during the daily service, and the tortoiseshell resolutely decided to cheer up for twelve hours a day and not leave the young grandmother half a step.
In less than a day, the news of Gui Mingyue's pregnancy spread throughout the Hou Mansion, and the old lady, who had never treated her very well, immediately couldn't help but be overjoyed, and personally recruited her to the North Courtyard for questioning, and her tone was also a little cordial and kind.
"Let the public find more good supplements to send to the young grandmother, and the bird's nest, fish and meat are also diligent every day, what should be eaten and what should not be eaten, and you, as a mother-in-law, also have snacks." The old lady preached to the eldest lady here.
During these days, the eldest lady has done the food in the West Courtyard, she doesn't know, Su Rili turned a blind eye just because she didn't like this Gui Mingyue very much, but now it's different, this Gui is pregnant with the most glorious young master in this mansion!
"Yes, my daughter-in-law remembered." The eldest lady gritted her teeth, this anger was only half out, who expected that this Gui Shi was pregnant, and now she can't worry about her anymore.
In the west courtyard, there was an endless stream of people who came to say hello for a while, not only the sixth aunt, the ninth aunt and the aunt Ru who were friends in Su Ri, but even those aunts who didn't come and go very well came to say hello, which was even more lively than when the princess Lin Zhanmei was pregnant.
The old lady was overjoyed and even withdrew the access control of the West Courtyard, so Leng Bingxiang and Su Tingwei, who were also in Bianliang City, rushed to the Hou Mansion to visit as soon as possible.
"Counting you as the youngest, I didn't expect you to marry early, and you will soon have your own children. Yue'er, we are happy for you. Leng Bingxiang couldn't help but sigh, and Su Tingwei held Gui Mingyue's hand tightly with red eyes.
"What's wrong with Sister Leng, I heard that the old Yue Saburo of the Dragon Pavilion is handsome and intelligent," Gui Mingyue always thought that Leng Bingxiang would marry a majestic general in the future, but who knew that he looked at the famous talent Yue Saburo with me.
"Don't laugh!" Leng Bingxiang, who has always been bold and spicy, blushed coldly, and pretended to scold, thinking of her fiancΓ© and a burst of sweetness.
"What about you? Tingwei, but have other plans at home? Gui Mingyue asked cautiously.
Su Tingwei sighed and nodded almost inaudibly. Her age is just in line with this year's draft, and as the daughter of the Honglu Siqing family, she has been given high hopes by the entire clan.
But Gui Mingyue is worried about her temperament, she is too kind, and sometimes even a little cowardly. It is not suitable to enter the palace, even if he is like a fish in water in the business field, he is restricted and uncomfortable in entering the palace of the prince of this town, let alone going to the deep court.
The three friends chatted for a whole afternoon, and only in the end did Gui Mingyue speak: "Now that the lawsuit in the shop outside, I also ask the two sisters to bother with a lot of things for Yue'er." β
Regarding the gold and jade heads that the ladies and ladies had ordered before, there was even a white jade Guanyin dedicated to the county lord, because the best white jade brought by Gui Mingyue from Kunlun Mountain was burned and could not be delivered on time, which angered these nobles.
"Yue'er also knows about this, it's really difficult...... If it's really tricky......"
"Oh, Yue'er, don't worry about it, leave this matter to me and Ting Wei, my mother has always been friendly with the county lord, I asked her to intercede, as for the other ladies and misses, we also have a way to talk, but when you Angelica Pavilion comes up with new tricks, you need to send a few more pieces to these people." Leng Bingxiang interrupted Gui Mingyue's words and said happily.
"Yes, now that you are pregnant, why are you still thinking about these trivial things. At the moment, what you need to focus on is to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and ah, be careful of that Lin Zhan Mei ......" Su Tingwei frowned and blamed her twice, and did not forget to remind her a few words.
Gui Mingyue knew that they were really for their own good, but Gui Mingyue also knew in her heart that she was different from the two of them, in this world, this woman must have a reliance whether she marries or not, her two friends rely on her mother's famous family background, and she relies on the wealth behind her.
Therefore, at any time, in any realm, as long as it is about making money, Gui Mingyue cannot relax, nor dare to relax.
After Gui Mingyue sent off the two friends, she felt a lot more comfortable, and in the evening, Steward Huang personally sent a box of high-quality blood bird's nest as a gift of reparation for the neglect of the previous days. Gui Mingyue didn't embarrass her, but took it kindly, and said some sympathetic words, and Steward Huang left with a relieved face.
For a while, it seemed that the entire Hou Mansion was exceptionally tolerant and gentle towards Gui Mingyue. But when I returned to Mingyue for dinner at night, I heard that the second aunt actually made ginseng soup and wanted to enter the door, but was stopped by the old lady's people.
Gui Mingyue sneered, the second aunt is someone she never wants to see in her life.
On the second day, the carriage from Nanyang carried Yu and Gui Jingxue into the door of the Hou Mansion in a hurry, and the Yu family first went to visit the old lady, and then went to the West Courtyard to visit their daughter.
"Mother!" Gui Mingyue didn't expect her mother to come to see her in person, so she immediately burst into tears, threw herself into Yu's arms, and cried wantonly. The crying shoulders shrugged one after another, and arched straight into Yu's arms.
Gui Jingxue was like this by her sister, she looked angry and laughed, it turned out that she was still so sticky.
Yu wiped her tears when she cried, and said: "You child, now you are also a mother, how can you still be so coquettish, you don't have to be laughed at by others." β
After a long time, Gui Mingyue raised her head and wiped her tears, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Crying and laughing, what kind of physique, it's a shame that my father didn't come, and I will definitely train you." Gui Jingxue stepped forward with the handkerchief in her hand and blew her nose.
"Daddy is reluctant," Gui Mingyue said hehehehe: "I know that the eldest sister is jealous of me and my father's mother." β
"No, eldest sister, I'm crazy with jealousy." It is rare for Gui Jingxue to make fun of others, and also to make fun of herself.
With a burst of laughter, all the careful thoughts and unpleasantness of the past also laughed.
Gui Mingyue couldn't help but get closer to her eldest sister in her heart.
"Grandma, Miss Cai Wei is outside, saying that she wants to see Madame." Qiao'er came in to report.
"I don't want to see her......" Gui Jingxue rarely showed her disgust for a person so directly, because she recently found out that her maid magpie had some dealings with this Gui Caiwei, but she hadn't figured out what secrets there were between these two people.
"This ......" Gui Mingyue thought to herself, she couldn't drive people out.
"Let her in." It was Yu who spoke.
"Cai Wei to see her mother," Gui Cai Wei came in and bowed respectfully to Yu, but Yu was a little embarrassed, this girl had never been so polite to herself as a mother-in-law before, especially the last time she returned home, she did look like she was returning home.
Yu is not good at words, so he just said it, and then he had nothing to say.
Gui Jingxue looked at her indifferently with a scrutinizing face, and Gui Mingyue thought that she would talk to Gui Jingxue about Wu Jingnan and the things in the shop later, so she was silent.
For a while, there was no embarrassment in the room, and no one spoke.
Gui Caiwei couldn't do it, so she had to get up and twist again, and said vaguely for a long time.
In the end, Gui Mingyue finally understood.
It turned out that she had a man she liked and wanted Yu to be her master......
When Yu heard this, he was still a little flattered, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "Since you have become the godgranddaughter of the old lady, it would be more appropriate to let her old man be the master of this matter, our family has no official and no position, I am afraid that I can't add color to you......." β
Yu's words are also sincere, after all, returning home is the people's body, if Gui Caiwei looks at the family background, then he doesn't have so much face to say goodbye, and Mrs. Ji is different, according to the title of the granddaughter of the old lady of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, she has much more confidence than the name of the third daughter of the family.
Who knew that as soon as Gui Caiwei heard this, her face immediately sank, and she said in a weird manner: "Mother is still jealous of my dead aunt, so she refuses to make decisions for Caiwei?" Cai Wei was abducted since she was a child, and she went through a lot of hardships to meet her mother and father. "I want to wipe away my tears when I say that.
"How can you talk to your mother like this, what does it have to do with your dead aunt, your aunt is innocent of death, if she hadn't pushed Yue'er into the lake, she wouldn't have stumbled into it because of too much force!" Gui Jingxue immediately reprimanded.
Gui Mingyue also remembered that when she just crossed over, she was rescued from the water, and it was said that her father's concubine Aunt Liu wanted to harm herself, but she herself fell into the lake and drowned.
In fact, at that time, the real Gui Mingyue should have also died, and it was his own soul that penetrated in.
Looking at Gui Caiwei's resentful gaze, Yu sighed and said, "Don't say it, since you want me to be the master, I will fulfill your wish, so tell me, which family is it?" I'll be prepared when I go back. β
Gui Caiwei reconciled the color at this time, a strange smile quickly flashed on her face, stepped forward to Yu's ear, and whispered a few words.
Yu Shi was stunned at first, and then glanced at Gui Caiwei up and down in some incredulity, and then said, "Okay, after I discuss with your father, I will go to ask for a kiss." β
"Then please mother, Cai Wei will retire first." Gui Cai Wei Shi Shi Ran saluted, and then drifted away.
"Mother, which one does she have a crush on?" Gui Mingyue couldn't help but ask curiously, and Gui Jingxue couldn't help but listen with her ears open.
Who knew that Yu shook his head, saying that he couldn't say it yet, and he couldn't say it......
Gui Mingyue and they were even more curious. But since the mother said that she couldn't say it, the sisters didn't ask much.
It's just that later, Gui Mingyue regretted it very much, why didn't she ask more, then, the fate of some things and some people would not be like this.
