"Mother, Sister Xi remembers it."
Gu Xi took the teapot from the girl's hand and got up to add tea to Sun: "Next time I go home, I will definitely bring you Ru Ge'er."
She still looks very respectful, but she has a strange intimacy.
Gu Han looked at the two of them, blinking his apricot eyes and smiling.
The original matter was over, and the grudges between mother and Gu Xi began to slowly let go.
After all, life has to be seen forward.
Liang Yu came in with a few pastries and bowed to his salute: "...Second Madam, this is the horseshoe cake you like to eat. The young lady has been preparing it in the kitchen recently, and she is waiting for you to come.
What is added is fresh water chestnut powder."
Sun picked up a piece, took a bite, and praised, "It's still my filial piety, I'm thinking about my preferences... It's smooth and sweet, and it's really delicious."
"It's good that my mother likes it."
As he spoke, Gu Han also handed Gu Xi a crystal plate of lotus seed cake: "Fifth sister, try this dish, it's topped with honey."
Gu Xi likes sweets.
Gu Xi took it with a smile.
Sun stopped after eating a piece, as if he remembered something, and said to Liang Shu: "You are the old man who went out of our Gu family, and I am the most at ease.
Before coming, my mother told you to be careful about Sister Han’s diet, and the wife Lin on her stove will also help you... Sister Han is weak and the child is difficult for her to come, so you must ensure that everything is foolproof."
"Mrs. Relax, all the vegetables and pulp and flesh are sent by reliable people.
The small kitchen in the mansion has been replaced by our people inside and out... Even the food was watched by the old slave himself."
Liang Zhu said, "When you go back, you tell the old lady that the old slave knows the importance of the matter and will serve the young lady well."
"I always know that you are safe in your work."
Sun took off the green gold bracelet on his wrist and smiled and said, "You can wear this with it."
"Second Lady, I can't help it..." Liang Qi refused to accept it: "The old slave is a slave of the Gu family. He has served the old lady for most of his life. After receiving grace, he will serve the young lady again, so he will do his best."
"I know your intentions. That's why you have to take them even more. This is what rewards you for serving your master."
Sun handed it to Liang Zhu without saying a word.
As the saying goes: If you eat someone, your mouth is short, and if you take someone, your hands are short.
Liang Yu is more careful when he gets the bracelet.
In front of the girl and the mother-in-law, Sun's actions undoubtedly gave him a big face. Liang Yu was overjoyed and thanked him for his gratitude.
Sun called Lin's wife to come over again, asking Liang Shu to arrange a place for her, and then lead her to get to know the kitchen.
Liang Qi agreed and went out with Lin’s wife.
It was not easy for the mother and daughter to get together once, so they sat in the same place and said something for a long time.
Sun sighed: "You sisters are married well, and I don't worry anymore... The only thing I worry about is that your brother, who is seventeen years old and has not yet been engaged..."
Gu Han and Gu Xi looked at each other, and Gu Xi spoke first: "According to grandfather and grandmother's words, the order is based on the age and the child. It is probably only after cousin Shu made the decision that it would be his turn."
"yes."
Sun nodded, “I know too.
But the point is that Brother Shu is not panicking at all about his own marriage. Your grandmother has mentioned it several times and has been rejected by various reasons... He is the eldest grandson of the Gu family again, and his status is precious..." She paused and sighed: "Poor Brother Nuan, he was delayed by Brother Shu..."
"Mother."
Gu Han pulled Sun's sleeve and shook his head: "If this is the case, just talk to her daughter.
After returning home, I didn't dare to say it in front of my grandmother.
She loves cousin Shu the most."
It makes people in the big room feel uncomfortable when they hear it. Gu Zhao is the most slight-minded, but who knows what she will do?
Sun patted the girl's hand: "Mother is just complaining to you. I don't say anything in front of your grandmother."
Gu Han smiled and lowered his head to drink tea.
She understood her mother's temperament, and since she agreed, she would not say it out.
“By the way.”
She put down the bowl and asked Sun: "I have something in my heart for a long time. I want to ask my mother."
"What's up?
you say."
"My brother is seventeen years old, and cousin Qing is also seventeen years old. Why is the first place in Cousin Qing ranked first in front of her brother..." Gu Han was confused: "My cousin Qing is a few months older than me. Is it impossible for my brother to be born in the same year as me, right?"
Sun looked at the girl for a while and had a distant expression: "Your brother is older than your sisters. He is really eighteen years old this year, and he is the second young master of the Gu family's grandchildren."
"Mother, why..." Gu Xi also asked, "Is something happened?"
Sun nodded and recalled: "Your brother was born on the second day of February, and it was very auspicious. Your father was even more happy and expressed his hope for your brother... At that time, Zhao was pregnant, but he fell out for no reason.
She cried all day long, saying that someone in the mansion wanted to harm their mother and son, and everyone was a little crazy.
Your grandmother had no choice but to invite the master of Guanghua Temple to come to the mansion to crack it..." She paused and added to the girl: "Guanghua Temple is located in the outskirts of Beijing and has a strong incense."
Gu Han nodded and continued to listen to Sun's words.
"The master first looked at the birth dates and horoscopes of the masters in the mansion, and then said that your brother's zodiac sign was great, which made Zhao's family run into peace. If you want a peaceful house, let Zhao's next child be ahead of your brother..." Sun's tone was a little light: "Zhao's troubles are getting worse and worse, and your grandmother has no choice but to agree.
After waiting for another year, Sister Qing was born.
In order to show his solemnity, Zhao specially called his clan members to prove it and wrote the name of Sister Qing in front of your brother.
Your brother went from the second young master to the third young master, and was one year younger than Sister Qing in front of everyone, but Sister Qing changed from Miss Third to Miss Second.”
"There is something like this?"
Gu Han asked, "Why have I never heard of it?"
"Your grandmother stopped people from spreading.
Zhao felt bad luck and never mentioned it.
As time goes by, everyone gradually forgets.”
Sun picked up a bowl to drink tea, but he didn't worry about the cold tea. "It's strange that Sister Qing and Brother Nuan both grew up safely after they exchanged their journey."
Gu Xi kept listening, and then said: "It's all over... My brother is successful and has been a juren again. My mother's blessing is behind."
What my mother said briefly.
However, with the eldest aunt taking the lead in everything, the situation at that time should be thrilling and chaotic.
Otherwise, how could the elder brother be the legitimate son be behind the legitimate daughter?
Sun smiled: "Sister Sha Xi, you have always been considerate of your mother's heart."
Gu Qing actually changed her career with her brother, and Gu Han really didn't expect it.
Although the mother smiled, her face looked bad... Gu Han understood her mother's mood a little. The ranking of the mansion has always been a big deal. No one wants her child to change from the second young master to the third young master.
Gu Han acted coquettishly and took his mother's hand and said to his younger daughter: "My mother is partial and only said that the fifth sister is caring. Could it be that I am not caring?"
Sun was amused and reached out to point the girl's forehead: "You..." Even though he knew it was a girl who was funny, the haze in his heart was wiped out.
It's all old things, so what if Zhao plots against her?
He had both children, but Zhao was imprisoned in Ningyuan...
In this long-distance battle, it was her Sun Shuangshuang who won.
The wind blows in along the open inner fan, leisurely and comfortable.
The little girl came in and reported that Dr. Song had come.
"Please come in."
Gu Han said, reached out and took the ginger-yellow embroidered branch-woven welcome pillow and leaned behind him.
Sun also left the Xiangfei couch and asked the girl's legs to put on it, which was a half-lying position.
She looked around and finally took a thin quilt and covered Gu Han with it.
After Song Yan came in, he bowed and then went to take Gu Han's pulse.
“…The young lady’s pulse is a little weak and she has been a little tired recently.
But there is nothing big about it, just take fetal protection medicine on time.
It’s hot in May, so it’s better for you to stay in bed and keep walking less…”
Gu Han thanked him and asked the girl to pour tea for Song Yan.
After a cup of tea.
Sun invited Song Yan to the outer room.
"Doctor Song, I am the young lady's mother. Please give me an accurate statement. Can her childbirth be safe for her?"
Song Yan did not answer immediately. After a moment, he whispered: "Mrs. Young Master is too weak, and I can't tell you... However, it's okay for this child to stay in Mrs. Young Master's belly for nine months."
Sun looked at the direction of Xijiji, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
It is said that pregnancy is ten months, what does nine months mean?
"Madam, don't be too worried, it's up to people."
Song Yan said: "What I just mentioned is the worst plan.
We need to think about the benefits.
I have all the medical skills, and under normal circumstances, it is still possible to save a child."
"I'm sorry for you."
Sun thanked him repeatedly and asked Taohong to send Song Yan out of Qiulan Pavilion.
In the afternoon, Zhang Juling came back from the yamen. He heard that his mother-in-law had arrived and the official uniform had not changed. He went to the east wing to pay homage to Sun.
He only came to Qiulan Pavilion after talking for a while.
"Have you met my mother?"
Gu Han took her husband's hand and smiled happily.
Zhang Juling said "hmm" and lowered his head to his wife's forehead: "So happy?
Is it because my mother is here?"
"Of course."
Gu Han's apricot eyes were round, "I haven't seen my mother for a long time."
"Just be happy."
