Chapter 401 (1/2)
In the middle of summer.
The leaves rolled as if to be absorbed by the sun.
Cicadas sing one after another, listening to feel hot and dry.
There seems to be an aperture in the sky, which makes people's eyes unable to open.
In the small study of the east courtyard, there is an ice basin, which is permeated with a sense of coolness. But not enough to suppress people's hot and dry heart.
In the summer of thirty-seven years, the heat was especially hot and came very early.
Not yet had a good feeling of the warmth of spring, the weather suddenly entered the barbecue mode.
Gu Jiu has a stomach of more than five months and is very flexible.
She was pregnant with this baby with extraordinary ease.
No vomiting, no sleep all night, and normal appetite. There was no change in taste from before pregnancy.
I don't want to eat spicy food or sour food, which is the normal taste.
I don't have backache. I sleep well at night.
Fetal movement is also normal.
Everything is normal. It's the best news.
In the hot weather, she ate two pieces of frozen watermelon. She still wanted to eat it, but Qingmei took it away.
”Watermelon is cool in nature, so my wife can't eat more.”
Gu Jiu has a snack plug, ”You peel a cucumber, I eat cucumber.”
”Cucumbers are also cool. If you eat watermelon today, you can't eat cucumber any more. You can eat cucumber tomorrow. ”
Gu Jiu was a little agitated, ”what can I eat?”
”Madame, have some soup. Drink soup to keep fit. ”
”No drinking!”
Gu Jiu refused very simply.
In fact, she doesn't want to eat watermelon or cucumber. Is the heart has fire, commonly known as the fire, want to eat something cool to press the fire.
To say that the biggest impact of pregnancy on Gu Jiu is emotional ups and downs, unpredictable.
Shangyimiao is also very happy, because Liu Zhao's words and eyes will make her turn over in the next Miao.
In fact, Liu Zhao was speaking normally.
She stood up and walked around the room.
From the small study to the bedroom, and back from the bedroom.
She asked Qingmei, ”where has Xiaocui gone?”
”Madam Qi, Xiaocui talks to some elder sisters of Xile hall.”
Joy hall is a two room courtyard.
In the first month, Ouyang Fu gave birth as scheduled, a girl, five catties and six taels.
When Ouyang Fu had a baby, Gu Jiu didn't go. I didn't see how disappointed and frightening he was when he learned that the baby was a girl.
She still listened to Xiaocui. She said that it was the steady woman who held the child to the second young master. The second young master glanced at her eyes and ordered a few words. After that, she directly shook her sleeve and left.
From the beginning to the end, I didn't want to see Ouyang Fu, and I didn't ask whether Ouyang Fu was in good condition. It seems that Ouyang Fu doesn't care whether she is alive or dead.
Xiaocui also said that when Ouyang Fu learned that she had a daughter, she had already cried before she came out of the delivery room.
All in all, the scene was embarrassing and embarrassing.
Ouyang family members were also present at that time. However, because Ouyang Fu was born to a daughter, she felt guilty and had no confidence. She did not dare to say a word, let alone support Ouyang Fu.
When the child washes three, Gu Jiu goes to see the child.
The child is very good, only a few days after birth, you can see that it is a beautiful little girl.
Ouyang Fu from the ghost gate to go a trip, people are very haggard. It looks like you haven't had a good rest since the baby was born.
Gu Jiu is interested in asking questions, but Ouyang Fu doesn't want to expose his miserable side in front of others.
Gu Jiu can only give up.
Anyone who has eyes can see that the second childe is not happy with his daughter.
It's said that during Ouyang Fu's confinement, the second son only stepped into his bedroom twice, and each time he stayed for less than half an hour.
He didn't take the child's name either, as if he had completely forgotten it.
After Ouyang Fu was born, she went to Princess Pei and named her child Liu Nian according to her seniority.
Ning Wang's line, this generation of girls are heart generation.
She took her name and went to the Shaofu to get her genealogy. The little girl finally got her identity.
Although Pei was very sorry that Ouyang Fu failed to give birth to a son, she did not criticize her. Also sent a generous gift to celebrate the child's full moon.
As for the second childe, Pei is too lazy to ask.
Shen side imperial concubine because Ouyang Fu was born a daughter, she has no good face.
Several times, Gu Jiu hears Shen Bian Fei scold Ouyang Fu. The inside and outside meaning is that she dislikes Ouyang Fu's stomach and doesn't strive for courage.
At first, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very harmonious. Shen side imperial concubine has been good to Ouyang Fu for many years.
Once a girl was born, everything changed.
After Gu Jiu saw it, he was really dissatisfied. Is it so repugnant to have a girl? If you don't have a girl, can your son get a wife and have offspring?
She had to bear it. It was not easy to hold back her temper.Because Ouyang Fu was born to a girl, the second son had more reason to love the two concubines. It seems that the hope of having a son is placed in the concubine's room.
Gu Jiu has nothing to do, to his pulse, do production inspection.
The pulse is strong and everything is normal. It's just that I'm upset.
Liu Zhao went to yamen as an errand, but Gu Jiu couldn't find a target to beat people.
Because she was pregnant, she was not even interested in making money in business.
All the things are left to the people below. Only when the people below can't make a decision, Gu Jiu will come forward.
The first phase of the South Gate project started last month.
The tens of thousands of refugees gathered outside the gate of the city are not so easy to send away.
If you want to start the first, second and third phases of the project at the same time, you have to move people away.
There is no way, Gu Jiu can only in the periphery, a special designated out of a place, first build the cheapest resettlement housing.
So that the refugees can see the hope and facilitate the follow-up work.
After walking around with a cup of tea, Xiaocui came back with the scorching sun.
Let's put the ice basin in the big room. She simply picked up a piece of ice and put it in her hand.
Green plum asked her: ”where to go again, a body of sweat.”
Close to Xiaocui, as if you can smell a smell of sunshine.
Xiaocui laughed, ”I went to the joy hall and went to the West courtyard. Chat with my sisters
Gu Jiu asked her with a smile, ”have you heard any gossip?”
”Yes, yes.” Xiaocui has round eyes and is very excited.
Gu Jiu said casually: ”let's listen to who's gossip?”
Xiao Cui said with a smile, ”the second lady made rules for the two concubines today.”
Eh?
It's very strange.
Since the second childe took a concubine, Ouyang Fu's attitude has always been no matter what. How did she suddenly think of making rules for the concubine's room?
”Why?”
”I heard from the elder sisters of the joy hall that they said bad things about reading my sister behind their back, which was also spread to the second lady's ears. So the second lady asked them to make rules. ”
”Don't you know about it yet?”
”I don't know yet.”
Gu Jiu nodded clearly.
Qingmei was worried, ”the second young master will not quarrel with the second lady.”
Gu Jiu thought for a while, finally shook his head, ”should not.”
The second young master Mianli Tibetan Dao will not tear Ouyang Fu's face directly for the sake of two concubines.
And he also expected Ouyang Fu to give birth to a legitimate son for him.
Yes, my son.
Son, baby, but if it's not a legitimate son, it's not beautiful.
Green plum said: ”it's good not to quarrel. Over the past few months, the second lady has undergone a lot of exchanges, and we, as servants, feel unworthy for the second lady. ”
Gu Jiu smiles and makes no noise.
Xiaocui is very direct, ”madam, what should I do if she is also a girl? Will the young master treat his wife coldly like the second childe? ”
”Don't talk if you can't talk.” Green plum is very angry. Xiao Cui didn't keep the door open.
She was worried that Gu Jiu would think more about this.
Gu Jiu laughed, ”don't worry, the second childe is the second childe, the young master is different from him. As long as it's born to me, you like it. ”
