"This child's name is Yao Hongcan, and he will be my adopted son from now on. Xing Jiu, you can call him Master Jiu." Gu Qingling looked at Chen's mother and said with a smile, "This is what the miracle doctor gave me. I'm not very familiar with his origins."
I knew it, and I didn't ask anything. Anyway, I agreed to the miracle doctor, he would treat me, and I would help him raise this child. Of course, to the outside world, I would just say that I "picked up" this child, and he felt that he was destined to me.
So I adopted him as my adopted son, do you understand?"
Chen Ma was startled for a moment and responded: "Yes, old lady, I understand."
I don't understand. This is clearly a deal between the miracle doctor and the old lady of her family - I will treat your illness and you will raise my children.
The Yao family has a great business, and it is worthwhile to exchange one child for one life.
I just don’t know how Uncle Yao and Second Uncle Yao will react when they arrive later and find out that my mother has adopted a child, a baby that is smaller than their son and daughter.
Chen Ma worried for a moment and then put it behind her.
No matter how unhappy Mr. Yao and Mr. Yao are, they still have to support this child just because of the miracle doctor's "life-saving grace" to the old lady.
Soon, all the servants who followed Gu Qingling to the temple for rest knew that their old lady had "picked up" a child.
But for the servants, they just need to do what they are doing. Whether their old lady picks up a child or not, it really doesn't matter to them.
What's more, under Gu Qingling's training, the "rules" of the servants around her were very strict, and Mother Chen strictly monitored her, so no one really had the time to gossip.
This matter soon came to an end.
The temple was full of monks and could not find a wet nurse, so it was not suitable for raising children. Gu Qingling asked Chen's mother to find a ewe that had just given birth at the foot of the mountain, let the child drink first, and then prepared to return home.
Poor little Baozi, after drinking his mother's milk for less than a month, he was ordered to eat rations. The little guy suddenly became unhappy and started crying.
"What's wrong? Is Master Ninth not feeling well? Why doesn't he drink..." The mother-in-law who was temporarily assigned to take care of her was a little anxious. She had given birth and had experience in raising children.
Young Master Ninth seemed to be easy to take care of before, but why did he start to lose his temper when it was time to eat?
"Does Master Ninth not like drinking goat's milk?" Someone asked quietly next to him.
The mother-in-law didn't know, so she had to ask someone to inform Mother Chen.
Where do you need someone to inform you? Gu Qingling and Chen Mabing were next door. As soon as Little Baozi cried, they heard it and came over immediately.
Hearing that Little Baozi was unwilling to drink goat's milk, Gu Qingling frowned and asked someone to give the child to her.
Little Baozi smelled the familiar scent, flattened his mouth, and cried so aggrievedly: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
Gu Qingling waved people down: "You guys go down, leave the milk here, I'll feed it."
"Yes, old lady."
After everyone went down, Gu Qingling stole the breast milk she had expressed earlier from the fragrance-smelling space and fed it to little Baozi with a spoon.
Little Baozi has never drank milk with a spoon. How could he drink it? He almost choked.
Gu Qingling was heartbroken. While coaxing her, she could only continue to feed her with a spoon patiently.
——Baby, be good. Mom will no longer have milk to feed you. You have to eat goat milk. Do you understand?
——You have to be obedient and eat well, so that you can grow tall and strong in the future.
After half a bowl of milk was consumed, Little Baozi ate and drank enough and fell asleep again.
As a cover-up, Gu Qingling drank the bowl of goat milk herself.
He didn't finish the drink, but kept some, indicating that the little bun didn't like drinking very much.
No matter what happens, we have to have a step-by-step process, right?
Everyone saw that Little Baozi only drank the milk fed by Gu Qingling and not the milk fed by others. They also praised Master Ninth in front of Gu Qingling that he was a little man who knew who was good to him and knew how to be close to the old lady.
It saves Gu Qingling the excuse to make up this lie.
Gu Qingling laughed a little, and once again discovered the benefit of her identity - no one would question her authority.
From then on, the job of feeding Little Baozi was handed over to Gu Qingling.
When she was about to return home, Mother Chen arranged for someone to go back in advance to inform the eldest maid that the yard had been tidied up in the spring, and also informed her about finding a nanny.
When the eldest maid heard a message from her servants in the spring, saying that the old lady had "picked up" a child to raise outside, she asked the servant a few tentative questions and found that no one was confused, so she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly
Arranged.
After Gu Qingling and his party returned, Chen Ma went to show off to the eldest maid Chuntian, saying that she was the most trusted person of the old lady. The eldest maid Chuntian wisely remained silent.
——Forget it, if you want to think that this child was "picked up", just think that child was "picked up"
——Anyway, I don’t know anything.
The wet nurse was found from outside. She said she was feeding the baby, but she was actually "milking" it. Then she handed it over to Gu Qingling and asked her to feed it herself.
Not to mention the children, they didn't even see Gu Qingling.
The reason used by Chen's mother was: "Young master Ninth is acquainted with births and doesn't like strangers very much. No one is allowed to touch him except the old lady. You can just milk the milk with peace of mind. Others will take care of the rest."
The wet nurse found a country woman who had just given birth to a baby and was in good health, but her family was a little poor, otherwise she wouldn't have made this trip.
Although they can't see their children for a while, it is a good thing for them that they can add some money to the family and go back to see their children every now and then during holidays.
In addition, this was the rule of a wealthy family, so the inexperienced wet nurse didn't think much about it and just became a dairy cow.
In order to get Little Baozi to drink other people's milk, Gu Qingling spent a lot of effort, such as feeding him while he was asleep in the middle of the night, and adding some diluted spiritual spring to it. Only then did he coax the little Baozi to drink it obediently.
Got someone else's milk.
It took several days for Lu Qingling to successfully get Little Baozi through the picky eating stage.
There is an extra child in the house, and he is still a suckling child. For the servants of the Yao family, except for those who have tasks, others have no feeling at all. They should do what they should do.
Soon, Uncle Yao and his party set out on the ground in Jinling.
"The old lady, the uncle, the second master, and the third master have arrived."
A maid ran in and reported to Gu Qingling in surprise.
Gu Qingling was resting half-relying on the squat. Hearing her words, a smile appeared on his face: "Really? Where are you already?"
"We're at the city gate. Xiaoliuzi and the others received it and sent a person to deliver the message."
"We should be arriving at the gate soon. Hurry up and ask someone to open the gate to pick you up." Gu Qingling turned around and called Mother Chen to arrange it.
After a while, I saw Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao and others appearing in Yao Mansion, leading a group of servants, large and small, to the main hall.
In the backyard, Gu Qingling asked people to look at Master Ninth who was still taking a nap, and took the eldest maid Chunchun and others to the main hall from another direction.
As soon as she entered the door, Uncle Yao, Second Master Yao, Third Master Yao and others who had arrived before her quickly stood up to salute her and say hello. They said hello to each other and exchanged pleasantries.
Gu Qingling thought that they had a hard journey, so he didn't waste much time. After talking for a while, he let them go to wash up and rest. If there was anything else, he could talk about it later.
