Although the gift given by the old lady is great and very flattering, but...
It’s too painful to return a gift. Can you not return a gift?!
Gu Qingling's face was cold: "No! Be a man who repays kindness and respects your elders in the family. Since I gave it away, you have to take it back."
Not only do they have to get her back, but if their parents send something over, they also have to find a way to prepare a return gift.
Oh, by the way, even between them, they have to give gifts in return.
After dinner with her grandchildren, Gu Qingling took a walk for a while and then returned to her room.
Because she got sleepy so quickly recently, she didn't have the energy to read a book or anything else, so she planned to do a set of yoga and go to bed after taking a bath.
When she took off her hair full of hairpins and changed into her indoor clothes, Gu Qingling looked at her belly doubtfully and asked Chun Chun, the eldest maid who was folding clothes: "Have you ever felt that I have gained weight recently?"
"Is there any?" The maid Chun Chun raised her head, looked at Gu Qingling's face, and said, "No, old lady, you are still as young and beautiful as before."
The eldest maid Chun Chun really wasn't fooling Gu Qingling, she really thought her old lady was beautiful.
Look, this face like a peeled egg, white and tender, is the eldest lady, the second lady and the others can't compare with her.
It's not like the eldest maid has never seen an old lady in her forties or fifties in spring. Not to mention others, it's the two old aunts in the family who are more senior than the old lady. Their faces have wrinkles, and they look like "half-old Xu".
She looked like a "mother", but Gu Qingling was different. Not only did she not have a single wrinkle on her face, she was even as fair as a young girl.
If there is any difference between her and the little girl, it is probably her temperament, which has been cultivated by the years, like wine, lasting and fragrant.
Sometimes, the eldest maid Chun Chun looks at her old lady, and she becomes distracted if she looks at her for a long time.
——How come there is such a beautiful old lady?
——My old lady is not a fairy from heaven, is she?
——I don’t know how prosperous the Earl was back then. Otherwise, how could he marry such a beautiful old lady?
Gu Qingling didn't know what was going on in the maid's mind. She touched her belly and was very sure: she was really fat and it was not an illusion.
There were no weight scales in this era, so if she had to weigh her if she had anything to do, Lu Qingling couldn't tell that she was fat just by looking at her arms and legs, but the soft flesh that appeared faintly on her waist really told her——
Gu Qingling, you have gained weight!
Gu Qingling felt horrified: How could I gain weight?!
Although I eat more now, I exercise every day, including walking and yoga. The amount of exercise is definitely enough, so I can still grow fat on my waist?
My mother, is this too scary?!
At this time, Gu Qingling had absolutely no thoughts about pregnancy. After all, she was already an old lady. The original owner also stopped menstruating two or three years ago. First, she didn't see a doctor, second, she didn't have menstrual reminder, and third, she didn't have a man. Why?
I won't even think about it.
In addition, there was no pregnancy reaction. Apart from eating too much and sleeping too much, she didn't even think about it.
It wasn't until later that she lost weight more and more, and her belly got bigger, and she suddenly realized...
I have been pregnant for five or six months.
Gu Qingling:??????!!!!!
Wait, I'm pregnant?!
Holy shit!
Why am I pregnant?!
Gu Qingling suddenly remembered that she was bitten by a dog that night when she thought she had met a "savior" on the way. She felt bad all over.
My dear!
I am an old widow whose man died, and she is pregnant?!
I am an old lady. If this news is to be spread, I am afraid of pills.
The frightened Gu Qingling had to take the road of covering up her belly. There was no other way. Not to mention that her belly was already so big and whether the pregnancy would be easy to abort or not, even if she, an old lady, suddenly ran to the doctor to buy abortion pills, she might not be able to.
Putting people to death?
Gu Qingling: "..."
My daughter-in-law is not pregnant yet, but I, an old woman who has no husband in name, is pregnant first. How can I break it?
That thief man who got me pregnant, come out to me. If I don’t beat you to pieces, my surname will no longer be Gu.
Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to happen. Gu Qingling didn't even have time to hide, so how could he really go to find that man?
She kicked the eldest maid Chun Chun out of the house, and was alone in the room. She took out the jade pendant from the fragrance-smelling space and looked at it again and again, and finally decided that it was better not to disturb each other and to be safe.
The only thing that Gu Qingling is happy about is that she is an old lady and does not need to act pretty like a young girl. She is also an old lady without a man. She does not have to worry about serving a man with her belly full. As long as she is careful and wears more loose clothes, no
When others were close to her, few people could tell that she was pregnant.
Counting the days, there were only four or five months before the birth, and there were so many things to do in the Yao family. She had to be prepared for both. One was to settle the Yao family well before she left home. Don't wait until her front foot was finished.
The Yao family on the back foot is gone; the other is to find a suitable place to give birth. It is best to have time to sit outside for confinement and then come back...
While Gu Qingling was making such calculations, the "cooling oil" sent by Uncle Yao had already produced trial results.
Wen Haoze, Cai Jun, and Feng Qingyi have become uncle Yao's friends, and with the cooperation of the "Twelve Flower Fairies" ahead of them, Uncle Yao will naturally not miss them with such good things.
As for Second Master Yao, through his brother's connections, he has made a few "husband and dog friends". These few are not like Zhao An, Liu Shaoqing and others before. They are not good people. They are just playing for fun, but at least they are
What can be touched and what cannot be touched.
In addition, these people were also friends of Feng Qingyi, and the second master Yao also generously gave away the trial product of "cooling oil". When they went out to play together, he did not forget to bring the third master Yao.
Third Master Yao has a bad temper and can't speak, but Second Master Yao is lively. He got orders from Gu Qingling, and even if he didn't like it, he could only take Third Master Yao to play with him.
As for Mr. Yao, he doesn’t know how to play, but the advantage is that he is “obedient and well-behaved” and won’t cause any trouble for them. The other guys don’t mind it and occasionally ask Mr. Yao to help them run errands and so on.
Although it is just an errand job, using Yao Sanye as a tool, in fact, it is also of great benefit to a bastard like Yao Sanye who has no connections and no ability. People like him and do what he does.
If he is willing to take care of things, he will not be afraid of being forgotten and leaked out in the future.
"Third brother," Mr. Yao was a smart man. He was afraid that Mr. Yao would misunderstand him, so he put his arm around Mr. Yao's shoulders and explained to others, "Don't blame the second brother for not taking care of you and always asking you to run errands. You have to know,
Running errands also has its own benefits. Once you get used to running and people like you, they won’t look for you anymore. No matter what big or small things happen to you in the future, they will look for you. Do you understand?”
He emphasized the words "big and small things". If Yao Sanye still doesn't understand, Yao Erye can only think about it and arrange Yao Sanye to another place.
Fortunately, Mr. Yao was just a little stupid, but not stupid. He nodded honestly: "I understand, Third Brother."
