Chapter 319 Not Easy

In March, the spring flowers are blooming.

The Gu Mansion was decorated with colorful lanterns, and the red lanterns hung at the gate with the striking words of joy.

Today is Gu Chen's wedding day.

There were fifty tables in the Gu Mansion, and everyone who could be invited came.

Mr. Gu is now the servant of the Ministry of the Household, and everyone who receives an invitation will give him a face and come to the door with gifts to congratulate him.

There are even many people who have not received the invitation, and they are shameless.

The housekeeper handled this kind of thing with ease, and without disturbing Master Gu and Mrs. Xie, he had already sent people away.

Gu Jiu came to Gu Mansion in a carriage.

The housekeeper Gu Quanyi heard that Mrs. Zhao was coming, and went to the second gate to greet her in person.

"Be careful of your steps, madam. The master is entertaining guests in the garden hall of the outer courtyard, and the wife greets guests in the garden hall of the inner courtyard."

Gu Jiu got off the carriage, looked at the familiar people, the familiar scene, and asked softly, "Have the guests all arrived? Has the sixth brother set out to pick up the relatives?"

"Reporting to Madam, almost all the guests have arrived. The sixth young master went out to pick up the relatives half an hour ago."

Gu Jiu nodded, "Is the third sister helping your wife?"

"Exactly.

After a pause, Gu Quan lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "My wife intends to find another marriage for the third aunt, and brings the third aunt by her side, just to see the marriage."

Gu Jiu laughed and went directly to the flower hall in the inner courtyard.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Xie, brought their daughter-in-law and the girls to greet the guests.

The eldest grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, was full of energy with her five-month-old belly stretched out.

Pregnancy did not make her feel tired, but instead she was in high spirits, with high spirits and wind under her feet. She greeted the guests with ease and settled everyone down.

The eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, felt sorry for her, and told her not to work too hard and beware of being tired.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is in good health. I can't be tired of this."

"Even if you're not tired, you should be careful."

"My sister-in-law should listen to my aunt's words, after all, she has two bodies, so you should be more careful.

"

Gu Jiu stepped forward and said.

"Second sister is back, everyone is waiting for you."

The eldest and youngest grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, had a happy expression on her face.

"Xiaojiu is back, sit down and drink tea. Now that you are a guest, you can't be tired and worry about it." Mrs. Zhang, the eldest wife, cheered.

Gu Jiu greeted everyone with a smile.

"Second sister, you are finally back." Gu Lin was next to Gu Jiu, looking like she missed her very much.

Gu Jiu asked her, "How is the fifth sister recently?"

Gu Lin's face was slightly sad, "Not very good."

Gu Jiu was curious, "What happened?"

Gu Lin whispered in her ear: "Since the third sister came back, I feel uncomfortable. In private, the fourth sister has quarreled with the third sister two or three times, but the wife doesn't know it."

Oh?

Gu Jiu looked towards Gu Yue who was greeting the guests, and the two Gu Shan sisters looked. It's not surprising that the two quarreled, but the strange thing was that both of them were hiding the truth from Xie's.

Gu Jiu said, "They quarrel with them, what are you bothering about?"

Gu Lin said in a low voice, "Luo Fuzi is very ill and cannot teach us lessons. I can't go to Hou's mansion for classes, so I can only stay in the mansion every day. Every time the third sister and the fourth sister quarrel, I will be caught in the middle and be splinted. Shit, it's really miserable."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "When they quarrel, you just need to sneak away. Don't take the initiative to move forward."

"I don't have a place to go." Gu Lin felt a little aggrieved, "My aunt has a hard life, and she thinks that I am not capable, so I can't stand up for her. It's better to be with the fourth sister."

Aunt Bai joined forces with Chunhe to suppress Aunt Tan. But that still doesn't change the fact that he has fallen out of favor.

Master Gu either went to Aunt Tan's room or Aunt Chun's room. Aunt Bai has been completely ignored.

Concubine Bai wants to turn over, but it seems that there is no chance at present. She can only count on Gu Lin, and she can also follow her with pride by marrying a good family and being the young grandmother of the main house.

A few days ago, Concubine Bai told Gu Lin that when Gu Jiu came back, she must have more contact with Gu Jiu.

In Gu Lin's marriage, if Gu Jiu was willing to help her and tell Gu Lin a marriage, then Gu Lin would have nothing to worry about in her life.

Concubine Bai had self-awareness and knew that she couldn't speak in front of Gu Jiu.

When Gu Jiu was a girl in the past, she looked down on her. Now that Gu Jiugui is Mrs. Zhao, I'm afraid she won't even give her a straight eye.

Bai Yiniang could only speak her mind and remind Gu Lin repeatedly not to miss the opportunity.

You must know how difficult it is for Gu Jiu to come back.

This time, Gu Lin took Bai Yiniang's words into her heart.

As she grew older, she began to worry about her marriage.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Jiu came back, she came over and the two sisters were talking.

The unfamiliar feeling gradually disappeared in the conversation, and the familiar sisterhood in the past was found again.

Gu Jiu said, "We don't need to be involved in the matters of the previous generation. The fifth sister just needs to live her own life well."

Gu Lin looked at Gu Jiu, "Is it really that simple? My aunt is not favored, I'm afraid my marriage won't get better. My wife never mentions my marriage, so she probably forgot about me."

Gu Jiu laughed, "You're not in a hurry, so don't worry. When the wife is done with the fourth sister's marriage, she will naturally think of you."

Gu Lin looked at Mrs Xie in the crowd, "My wife doesn't like my aunt, and she doesn't even like me. I'm afraid I can't even compare to my eldest sister."

Gu Zhen married Xu Saburo, and this marriage seems to be very good now.

The Xu family is kind and kind, not as filthy as Haixi Bo Mansion. Gu Zhen lived in Xu's house, except for some inevitable bumps and bumps, she did not suffer much grievances.

Nowadays, many people say that Gu Zhen is married to the right person.

Even Gu Yue wanted to put gold on her face, saying that if she hadn't robbed the marriage of Haixi Bo Mansion, Gu Zhen would not be as lucky as she is now.

Every time this topic is mentioned, Gu Zhen wants to spit on Gu Yue.

I have seen shameless, but I have never seen such shameless Gu Yue. Really deceiving.

Gu Jiu comforted Gu Lin, "Don't worry. Even if your wife doesn't care about you, you still have your father. The sixth brother married Miss Hu, and you have another sister-in-law. If you have any troubles in the future, you can ask the new sister-in-law for help. , you can also come to the palace to find me."

"Can I really go to the palace to find the second sister?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "I'll give you a post when you wait for the next royal banquet."

Gu Lin smiled sweetly, "Thank you, second sister. Second sister, you are so kind."

Gu Mei came, and even Pei Yun came.

Gu Jiu also saw Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Qian, the second Mrs. Xie, in the crowd.

After Xie greeted her mother's family, she thought of the Su family.

She came to Gu Jiu's side, "Second aunt, the master has sent an invitation to the Su family. Please say that the Su family has not come to the door yet. The Su family will not come."

Gu Jiu glanced at the Xie family members in the crowd. She really didn't know what Master Gu was thinking, but she would post a message to the Xie family members.

Could it be that when Xie Mao died, did Master Gu forget about the fact that the two families became enemies?

Or is it that Xie's pillow wind is too strong to convince Master Gu to change his mind and post a message to the Xie family.

Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Don't you know, madam, the Su family sent someone to congratulate him yesterday, and told his father that he would not come to the house for wedding wine today, so as not to worry about his wife. But madam, don't worry, wait until the third brother gets married. , the Su family will definitely come to the door and give a generous gift."

At this moment, Xie Shi really felt a sense of dismay.

She smiled vaguely, "The Su family is well-informed, and they are so attentive."

"The Su family has been a scholar for generations, and naturally it is not comparable to a nouveau riche." Gu Jiu sneered at the Xie family.

Xie's face was hot, "Second aunt married to the palace, nothing else has changed, but her temper is getting bigger and bigger."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My wife's eyes are like torches. My temper has really risen in the past two years. Who said that there are too many people who don't open their eyes these days. If you don't show some color to those people, you will treat me as a decoration as Mrs. Zhao."

Xie felt that there was something in Gu Jiu's words, as if he was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.

She was not happy, "Second aunt's violent temper, don't use it on her family. If you have the ability, go to the palace."

"Don't worry, madam. I always come and leave happily when I go back to my mother's house. If my wife has nothing else to do, I will talk to Sister Mei and Sister Pei. I'm sorry."

Gu Jiu was really not willing to waste words with Xie Shi.

Master Gu did indeed send an invitation to the Su family.

Su Zheng had also asked her before if their Su family wanted to come to the house for wedding wine.

Gu Jiu was very straightforward, the gift was just delivered, it really wasn't that important to drink the wedding wine or not. I feel unhappy in my heart, coming to drink wedding wine is just to make myself feel uncomfortable, it is better not to come.

Su Zheng was very kind, so he sent the gift one day in advance. I made an excuse not to come for wedding wine today.

Master Gu also knew that the Su family had knots, so he didn't force it.

Xie originally wanted to show off in the Su family reluctantly, but the Su family didn't come to the house at all, and they didn't drink wedding wine, so Xie's idea of ​​showing off came to nothing.

She snorted in her heart, the Su family was broken down, there was really no need to care about that family.

Little did she know that her news was old-fashioned a few years ago.

Since the Su family began to supply Gu Jiu's herbal medicine shop, the situation in the family has gradually improved.

Master Su Er is a transparent character. When he stayed in the capital, he was not idle. Through past relationships, he contacted several large medicinal herb shops. In addition to supplying Gu Jiu's herbal medicine shop, he also supplies other herbal medicine shops.

The medicinal herbs are not huge profits. By accumulating a small amount of money, the Su family has changed the embarrassing situation in the past and finally has a fixed income.

In this way, the Su family has the financial resources to allow more children to study and participate in the imperial examinations.

One day, the Su family will appear in the courtroom again. The Su family, who was a scholar of the past, will appear in front of the world again.

Gu Jiu spoke with Gu Mei.

"Sister Mei, Niuniu is okay, why didn't you bring the child today?"

When she mentioned the child, Gu Mei smiled all over her face, "The child is naughty, lest she spoil everyone's interest, so I didn't bring her here. Thanks to sister Xiaojiu, Niuniu has been safe and sound for the past few months. She will leave now. already."

"Really? I didn't expect to leave so soon."

"The imperial doctor also said that compared with children of the same age, she walks earlier. Now she can call her mother very clearly."

"That's great. I must see the child tomorrow when I get a chance."

"You can come anytime, and I'm always welcome."

The tenderness in Gu Mei's eyes was about to overflow, and it could be seen that her heart was full of children Niuniu.

Gu Jiu didn't mention Han Shizi or Miss Qu. She didn't want to spoil Gu Mei's good mood. She only chatted with Gu Mei about ordinary daily life.

But Gu Jiu still did not escape the gaze of others.

An elder relative stared at Gu Jiu's belly for a while, but couldn't help but asked, "Xiao Jiu, is your belly still moving?"

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment before recognizing the other party.

"Thank you aunt for your concern, there is no movement for the time being."

"You've been married for more than a year, and your stomach hasn't moved yet. Can the palace agree? I know a very good doctor who specializes in gynecology. How about I invite you to the palace another day to give you a diagnosis and treatment?"

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you aunt for your kindness, no need. The imperial doctor said that I am in good health, and pregnancy is a matter of time."

When the aunt heard this, she nodded meaningfully, "It's hard for you."

Gu Jiu was a little stunned, and it was hard for her.

After a while, she realized that it was wrong for her aunt to misunderstand Liu Zhao.

Gu Jiu bowed his head and smiled, how could he be so embarrassed to explain this kind of thing? It's better to let the aunt continue to misunderstand it.

Gu Mei asked Gu Jiu quietly, "Is there really no movement?"

Gu Jiu nodded, pulling Gu Mei's hand to her stomach, "It's really not moving."

Gu Mei retracted her hand and said, "You and the son-in-law have less time to get together, so it's no wonder that there is still no movement. You should tell the son-in-law and tell him to go home more often."

Gu Jiu nodded.

Her stomach hasn't moved yet, mainly because she doesn't want to have a baby so early.

After all, her body was only seventeen years old. It's best to wait until you're eighteen to have a baby. The older you are and the better your health, the healthier your baby will be.

So, the second half of this year is about the right time to get pregnant.

Of course, there is no way to say these words, so everyone can continue to misunderstand her and Liu Zhao.

Seeing Pei Yun's sour water with an uncomfortable look on her face, Gu Jiu asked in a low voice, "Does Sister Pei have it?"

Pei Yun was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't hide her smile, "Thank you for the two recipes that Sister Gu gave at the beginning. After using them, my body has improved a lot. I just got pregnant, and I didn't speak for three months. figure it out."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Congratulations to Sister Pei, I see you look uncomfortable, but you are nauseated?"

"I feel a little nauseated, but I don't feel sick."

Gu Jiu immediately ordered someone to take away the teacup in front of Pei Yun and replace it with warm water to warm Pei Yun's stomach.

After drinking the warm water, Pei Yun felt a little more comfortable, "Thank you sister Gu, you know a lot. I just heard that your aunt was asking if your stomach was moving. Since sister Gu is in good health, hurry up and have a baby.

Don't be like me, because I don't have children, I don't know how much I have suffered. Others look at me with sympathy and disgust in their eyes, which is really annoying. This time I finally got pregnant, and finally made those people shut their mouths. "

"Why should Sister Pei care about other people's eyes?"

Pei Yun smiled bitterly, "I used to be like you, and I didn't care about other people's eyes. But since I got married, I learned that living under one roof, there is no way to ignore other people's eyes.

Having kids is always better than having no kids. After all, I am the eldest daughter-in-law and a clan wife. The stomach has not moved for a long time, and the old lady in the house and the lady will ask questions. Even the husband seems to be inferior in front of others. "

Speaking of the pressure she had endured in the past, Pei Yun also felt very aggrieved.

But who put her in the position of the clan's wife, she couldn't avoid these pressures, so she could only go head-to-head.

Fortunately, I am finally pregnant now.

Gu Jiu knew how many precious children Pei Yun had in her womb, so she specially arranged for a little maid to be in front of Pei Yun to be dispatched.

"Sister Pei is a two-body person now. There are many guests in the mansion today, so don't walk around casually, so as not to bump into you. If you have any needs, ask this maid to do it. Sister Pei, don't be tired."

Pei Yun covered her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Gu. Sister Gu is so good at taking care of others. It is really a blessing from his previous life that Young Master Zhao can marry you."

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, a little embarrassed.

She and Liu Zhao have been married for more than a year, but she has never taken care of Liu Zhao herself. Always have a word of disagreement, just kick Liu Zhao out of bed.

Gu Jiu reflected on himself and made up his mind to treat Liu Zhao better next time.

But by the next time, Gu Jiu probably forgot what she said. Unhappy in his heart, he kicked people out of bed as usual.

Well, she's just so inconsistent, there's nothing wrong with her.

When Liu Zhao married her, he had to accommodate all her strengths and weaknesses.

Just like her, she is also trying to accept Liu Zhao's various faults and find a balance between the two.

The bride came back.

Everyone got up and went to the auditorium to watch the ceremony.

Gu Jiu stayed by Pei Yun's side and personally protected Pei Yun, for fear that someone would bump into her.

To know how difficult it is for Pei Yun to be pregnant with this child. Don't dare to miss the slightest bit.
