Probably because he had been at ease for a long time, his alertness was not as good as before. It took Minglan two days to realize that something was wrong. ~
Gu Tingye seemed to be getting more and more weird. One moment he was joking with her, and the next moment he was silent. He stared at her with unclear intentions for a long time, which made her feel numb. If he was free, he would not play around with her like before.
, often lost in thought alone while holding her child.
Asked him what was wrong, the man said lightly and perfunctorily: "It's nothing."
Mr. Gongsun has been free and easy these days. He plays drums, makes music and sings like the ancients. Seeing this, it doesn’t seem like there is something going on in the court. Minglan feels more and more worried. After thinking about it carefully, it turns out that she went to the birthday banquet of the Duke of Qi that day. Isn’t it right?
Yes, I was suddenly shocked.
That day, when Gu Tingye went to court, Minglan called Gu Lu and didn't hide it. She said directly, "Look, the Marquis was not very happy in Qi Mansion that day. What happened?" Gu Lu always had a good memory, so you can imagine
After half a day, he didn't realize anything was wrong, so Minglan asked him to tell him everything that happened after Gu Tingye entered the Qi Mansion that day.
"The Marquis first paid his birthday to the old Duke and had a conversation. Later, the British Duke and the Duke came, and everyone talked about old things. Several adults praised the Marquis as a thousand-mile horse... Enter
After the banquet, Mr. Han always came over to talk to the Marquis, and the Marquis kept urging him to drink. Later, Mr. Han fell drunk. I don’t know who said that the old Mr. Guo was lucky, with four generations living under the same roof.
I was so happy that I asked someone to bring my two great-grandchildren and show them to all the adults in public..."
Minglan forced herself to hold back her pounding heart: "Has the old Duke ever mentioned the names of those two children?"
Gu Lu thought for a while and replied: "I just said that brother's name is Han Ming. My husband feels sorry for his only great-grandson. He even wrote the name on many sheets and posted it outside for people to call."
Minglan was silent and didn't ask any more questions. She just praised Gu Lu for a few words and asked Xiao Tao to send it out. As usual, Xiao Tao gave him an armful of fruit snacks and took him out.
The spring breeze blew on her face, causing her to break out into a cold sweat. She spread out her wet palms and stood in front of the window, feeling annoyed. The more she feared, the more she feared. At this moment, she felt like crushing Qi Henghai 10,000 times.
!
Gu Tingye had known about her and Qi Heng's affairs. It was said that the first time they met, she was the only audience for their live drama. Later, times changed, Qi Heng married a wife, was a cuckold, and took the imperial examination, while Gu Tingye married a wife.
, cuckold, gangster - even if he beat her to death, Minglan never expected that she would marry Uncle Gu, who was well-known in the dandy circles of the capital!
Therefore, what she cared about at the beginning was He Hongwen. After all, they were the two of them who had seriously considered marriage. Who knew that Qi Yuanbao, his eighteenth-generation ancestor with no virtue, would have such a headache?!
What should he do now? It’s not like he just found out about her and Qi Heng’s past today, so why do he still care about it now?
Minglan held her head and wailed, rolling around on the couch but couldn't come up with an idea, so she caught Tuan Ge'er who had just woken up and fixed his little face with her hands, "You should also think of something for mother.
ah!"
It's a pity that Xiaopang didn't understand, and he kept pushing into her arms, rubbing his chubby face against her breasts, opening his little mouth and looking around. Minglan became angry and pushed his head open with her index finger, "You
A foodie!”
——You are still a stupid foodie, she has already run out of stock, okay?
After the problem was identified, how to solve it next was a difficult problem. Minglan, who had always been quick to make decisions, was momentarily sluggish. Thinking about it carefully, although her predecessor was a rookie, she had never dealt with such matters well in this generation. Regarding Qi,
For Heng, He Hongwen, and even Gu Tingye, it is more about survival than emotional issues. ~
Minglan looked at her husband, who was leaning on the bedside, and plucked up the courage to smile and find something to say: "I got such a bowl today, do you want a late-night snack?" Gu Tingye shook his head, "It's already late, eat it.
If you just sleep, it is easy to accumulate food." It was very brief, and then he handed Tuan Ge, who was already swaying in his arms, to the wet nurse, and went to the desk to find a book to read.
Minglan couldn't help but curse in her heart: You don't have time to eat midnight snacks, but you have time? If you don't eat, you'd better starve to death! Be careful of pretending too much and becoming 2B!
Thinking about it, she felt something was wrong. This was not the time to be angry. Minglan tried her best to talk about today's household chores. Unexpectedly, the man just said a few casual words, and his perfunctory tone was evident.
Minglan was helpless, so she had to go to the bathroom. When she came back from the bathroom, she found that Gu Tingye was still in the same posture, leaning on the bed with his long hair loose and wearing a medium coat. Minglan squinted and saw that, fortunately, he was not upside down.
After climbing onto the bed, she went inside as usual, but saw that the man had no intention of putting down his book. After another while, Minglan finally couldn't help but asked: "Master Hou, are you going to rest?" Gu Tingye was silent for a while, then lowered his voice.
With a low hum, he turned off the lights and closed the account.
Someone who had nothing to do, touched the man carefully in the dark. His slender fingers crossed the brocade quilt and reached into the man's lapel. He slowly explored for a while. The skin on his chest gradually became hot. Someone quickly moved his body.
She leaned over and waited for a while - if this trick didn't work again, she would be really at the end of her rope. Fortunately, the man didn't have Liu Xiahui's intention. Before he could even breathe heavily, he turned over and pressed down, enjoying it without any fuss.
The next day, someone with a sore back secretly rejoiced that the trick had been sold. Unexpectedly, when the man returned to the house, he was back to his original state, with a calm expression and didn't like to talk much. It was like "eat the sugar coating and hit it back with the cannonball"
the meaning of.
Faced with this half-dead attitude, Minglan suddenly remembered a saying - a dog bites a bastard and has nowhere to bite.
After thinking hard for a few days without understanding, Minglan felt quite tired. Seeing that the weather was getting hotter day by day, she asked someone to pick some water chestnuts from the pond, and caught a few fat fish, and went to visit General Zheng's mansion.
Consider it a distraction.
Little Shen's belly also gradually swelled. It was not easy for her to have a baby. Her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and husband refused to ask her to go outside. She was feeling bored and panicked, but she was overjoyed when she saw Minglan coming to visit.
"...In the past few days, I feel like my body is almost infested with worms. Even if I go to the garden for a while, my sister-in-law won't even go for a walk..." Little Shen vomited her bitterness. Minglan looked at her carefully and saw that she
The face is round, the complexion is very good, but the look is boring.
Xiao Shen lowered her voice: "I think my sister-in-law is too careful. When the emperor was still in the vassal state, I saw the women there who were pregnant and running around. Why don't they still give birth to babies that are jumping around?
There is a second- and third-grade imperial wife who is still visiting the garden half a month before giving birth! There are many rules in the capital!"
Minglan taught him a serious lesson: "When my wife goes out to visit the garden, she always sits down and drinks tea in a polite manner. You were reborn as a hozen, how can you be honest as soon as you leave this house? Your sister-in-law has figured out your nature."
Woolen cloth!"
This was quite true. Little Shen sighed. Minglan looked at her frustrated expression and pointed at her forehead, jokingly: "Just be patient, not to mention the baby in your belly."
, it doesn’t belong to you alone, how can you allow you to have sex?”
Little Shen's face was slightly pink, and she whispered: "I know, for the sake of this child, my husband also..."
Minglan pretended to be shocked: "I mean, your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, how many Bodhisattvas did you worship, how many sutras did you recite, and how much money did you promise for sesame oil... where did you think you were going? Well, it's just Xiao Zheng.
The general has indeed contributed a lot."
Little Shen was so embarrassed that she threw a cushion at Minglan and wanted to pounce on her and pinch her mouth. Minglan quickly said: "Don't move, don't move. You are very valuable now. If you lose a hair,
Even if I shave myself completely bald, I won’t be able to afford it!”
Little Shen couldn't do anything to her and didn't dare to act rashly. She could only shake her fingers and said, "You, you..."
Mrs. Zheng heard the laughter outside, shook her head with a smile, and stepped in and said: "How old are you two? I have only been out for a while, and you can be so naughty. What bad things to say, and you have blocked everyone.
.”
Little Shen quickly sat down and did not dare to move. Minglan saw a middle-aged woman following Mrs. Zheng, so she asked gently: "Sister-in-law, this is..."
Mrs. Zheng pointed at the woman and said, "This is my cousin from my mother's side. She lived in other places in her early years. Now that her children have settled in the capital, she took them in to enjoy the blessings of her family."
Little Shen seemed to know her, and she called her cousin with a smile, but she didn't stand up. Minglan nodded, and angrily said, please sit down quickly, and a maid will come to serve you tea.
The cousin was dressed inconspicuously and even looked a little rustic, but her behavior was dignified and generous, showing no timidity, and her voice was not soft: "Look at this, you are rich people, we are country people, and we are from a small family.
Of course, in the eyes of these noble people, it’s not enough to be a joke.”
Mrs. Zheng didn't seem to hate this cousin, and she said very kindly: "No matter how big or small a family is, filial piety to their parents is the most important thing. My cousin's children are all filial. I couldn't be more blessed."
The cousin grinned and said: "It's true that these children are quite conscientious and have not forgotten the hardships of their parents. Even the sons-in-law are also filial. No, that's why I came to run this leg for them.
"
Minglan noticed that there was a small bamboo basket on the ground beside her, with the hijab on one side, and dozens of red eggs exposed inside.
Mrs. Zheng turned around and said with a smile: "The Qi family has accumulated a lot of blessings this time. The old prince just got a pair of great-grandchildren, a boy and a girl. He passed his seventy-year-old birthday a few days ago, and now a family member has added another child.
." Seeing Minglan's confused look, she added, "My cousin's daughter is married to a branch of the Duke's family."
When Minglan heard about the Duke of Qi's residence, her brows jumped and she smiled: "Congratulations."
But I thought in my heart that the marriage between a branch of a big family and a cousin of a big family would be a perfect match.
Little Shen quickly asked: "Already given birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"
The cousin's broad face was full of smiles: "He's a brother. He weighs seven pounds and six taels. He's very heavy! I don't have any good things in this small family. I'll give you some red eggs. If the little lady eats them, I'm sure she'll be fat when she comes back."
Small!"
Little Shen loved to hear these words the most. She didn't dare to answer because she was too shy. Mrs. Zheng thanked her: "Thank you, cousin, for remembering us so much. Your family is full of children and grandchildren. It's not a good thing to be blessed with so much happiness."
Huh?" He turned back to Minglan and said, "Don't just laugh, I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha today, and you can take some with you later."
Minglan was stunned for a moment, and little Shen quickly seized the opportunity: "Do you want to have a job after you have one? Go back and have more!"
Everyone laughed together, and Mrs. Zheng thanked the cousin again.
The cousin smiled and said: "Madam, please stop talking. A few red eggs are worth nothing. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, the two of you would not be where we are today! When the moon comes out, they will come to kowtow to Madam in person."
"
Mrs. Zheng smiled slightly: "It is your son-in-law who strives for his own success. I can't take anything from him. Even his little brother Siming, I heard that he is also highly praised by his husband."
Minglan's heart moved, and she blurted out: "Guan Ming? Siming?" Seeing their slightly startled eyes, she quickly concealed her smile and said, "I went to have Qi's longevity wine a few days ago. The great-grandson of the old Guogong
, seems to be called Mingming."
Little Shen pointed at her and said with a smile: "You, you have a clear name in your name, why don't you allow others to call you by that name too?"
Minglan felt embarrassed for a while.
Mrs. Zheng smiled, not taking it seriously, and explained softly: "You are not from Beijing, so you don't know this. Their Qi family used to be single-named and double-named from one generation to the next. In this generation, it is time to
You are a double-named generation." He turned around and scolded Xiao Shen again with a smile, "You are also the older one, so what do you know about it? You love to show off even if you don't know much about it."
Little Shen smiled mischievously at her eldest sister-in-law.
Everyone in the room was still joking, and Minglan tried her best to keep up with the conversation, but her heart was filled with waves——
The clear character in the names of Qi Heng's children has nothing to do with him!
She didn't know about this, but Shen did, and she did it on purpose!
I was tricked!
Shen's life is not bad. The only flaw is that her husband does not care about her. She is not happy and does not want others to be happy. What she said is not only unfounded, but also difficult to grasp. If she knew the inside story
, could still resist a little or two, but he had no idea about the seniority of the Qi family, and because of his guilty conscience, he stepped in.
In the final analysis, Mrs. Shen just wanted to let Minglan know that she was feeling aggrieved, and by the way, Minglan would also feel aggrieved - she knew what a dignified and generous Qi Shenshi looked like in the breeze!
But then, another question surfaced, a bigger and more troublesome question.
Until dinner, Minglan was still looking at Gu Tingye in a daze, having a headache with this problem, and she was still lost in thought - Gu Tingye grew up in the capital, and even knew the old allusions of Hedong Mansion, how could he not know the lineage of the Qi family?
Since the clear characters in Qi Heng's children's names are not because of himself, then why is he angry?
Could it be that the Chinese characters for jade and Chinese sound like the homophony of the word "regret"? No.
For example, the cousin I met today and her two son-in-law brothers, one named Guan Ming and the other Siming, are they just to make you think that they miss you? And their father gave this name to his children, is it because they are childhood sweethearts?
Since the word "ming" is included in the Qi family lineage, similar connotations cannot be avoided. Gu Tingye is an open-minded person, and he is not so narrow-minded. Minglan intuitively knows that he is not angry with himself because of his name.
While her thoughts were wandering, Minglan suddenly realized that she had wronged Qi Heng. In order to avoid suspicion, Qi Heng had to name his children "Cleverness", "Invention" or something like that to clear the air? Ami Doufu, I hope he
Keep your head clear, but don't change your children's names!
Gu Tingye felt that Minglan was particularly quiet during the meal today, as if she was distracted, her face was thinking hard for a while, frowning and hesitant for a while, her expression was very tangled, and she was just eating white rice, and she didn't know what she was thinking. He found it interesting and reached out to touch her.
There were grains of rice at the corner of his lips, and he smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? The rice is not very delicious either."
Minglan woke up with a start and found that the rice grains in front of her had fallen to the floor. She was very embarrassed: "No, it's..." There seemed to be nothing to say about this topic, so she shook her head and said, "I didn't think about anything..."
Lord Marquis, this turtle soup today is very good, please have an extra bowl."
Gu Tingye's smile slowly faded away little by little: she will always be like this.
The two of them were silent for the rest of the meal. As soon as they finished eating, someone came outside to report, but it was the panting second-door housewife. She stood outside and reported that the fourth old man was not well and asked him to go and have a look.
The couple looked at each other, so what?
The author has something to say:
I'm so arrogant, it has to be updated three times in the middle of the night to be able to update smoothly, so please save it in the manuscript box.
First of all, thank you for your concern. I am slowly seeing a doctor. I don’t care if it is chronic. I have to fix my skin first, otherwise I won’t be able to see people. I am using aloe vera, and the old Chinese doctor also prescribed a mild
The powder is for external application, I hope it will be useful.
Thank you all again.
Secondly, I have been very busy recently. In order to reflect the work value of a certain level, my boss will not decide to send him out, so I work hard every day and type after work, so I really don’t have time to reply to everyone’s messages one by one.
However, everyone’s messages have been read carefully. Thank you very much for your support.
Finally, regarding the refund issue.
Due to various reasons, I just saw a few readers scolding me yesterday, saying they wanted their money refunded, so let me tell you.
It is said that I also asked for a refund at a certain level back then, but I was recommended a post that seemed to be a popular science about the refund system. Generally speaking, there is usually only one reason for refunding money for V articles - it is because this article is a scam.
You can get a refund for unfinished articles; in addition, if the article is not good-looking, the outlook is wrong, the update is slow, the author has poor character, and other reasons, it will not be accepted.
A refund will be given; if a refund can be made due to the above reasons, I’m afraid it will be difficult to maintain the points. The points are not just given to me, they have to be given.
Speaking of which, the refund conditions at certain points are also the same, they seem to be more strict.
But there are no pitfalls in this article, and I didn’t take care of the situation when I asked for leave. I’m not the kind of author who leaves without saying goodbye and never disappears again, so I won’t support refunds.
But yesterday I saw two or three readers yelling and yelling. I don’t know if they were men or women. They yelled very viciously and obscenely. They were full of dirty words and kept using them. So, please give me your ID. I will
I'll refund the money to you.
After all, coding is more tiring than reading articles. You spent time on feelings, and I spent more time on feelings. After the money is refunded, we will be clear. If you use such obscene and dirty words in my articles again, I will delete them.
All your messages.
Thank you, readers please tell each other.
And I want to ask everyone one thing, if you ever see someone like this who talks about wanting a refund, please don’t reply.
