"Hahaha... Then you should stop thinking about it. If you want to hold your grandson, you should go back and let your daughter-in-law give birth to you."
"Forget it, my daughter-in-law is not as beautiful as Mrs. Zhao (i.e. Gu Qingling's pseudonym). How can the child born be compared with Xiao Baozi?"
"There is no way. The other person's mother is good-looking, and of course this child must be good-looking too. Who told you not to have a good-looking daughter-in-law at the beginning?"
...
A group of people laughed.
Because people come to visit each other from time to time and chat with Gu Qingling, this parent and that family member, Gu Qingling's confinement period is not deserted at all.
That's right, it's not a good thing to have too many people.
For example, Gu Qingling wanted to take a hair and take a shower, but when she heard it, she was scared to death: "Oh, this is not possible. You are in confinement now and you can't touch cold water. What kind of bath can't even blow the wind."
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Zhao, you are an elder, so you don't understand. Women should pay special attention to confinement. They should "cover" them. They would rather sweat all over than take a bath and wash their hair. You'll just keep going, and a month will pass soon."
"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss in front of you. Mrs. Zhao, we are all experienced people and will not harm you."
...
What can Gu Qingling say?
I could only wash it secretly in the space. Fortunately, she had large space, with mountains and water, and an open-air hot spring. Anyway, she was the only one here, so she was soaking openly, so there was no need to worry about someone peeking.
When I first soaked, Gu Qingling was a little embarrassed and always felt a little awkward. After soaking for a few more times, I didn’t think there was anything else.
If she was not allowed to wash outside, the hot springs in this space became her "life-saving straw", saving her life severely.
Time passed quickly, and half a month passed.
Gu Qingling didn't feel anything yet, and the eldest maid Chuntian came secretly: "Madam, the mansion has received a letter from the uncle and the others, saying that they are already on the road. I wonder when they will arrive, should we prepare quickly?"
The eldest maid Chuntian stayed outside for half a month before finding an excuse to return to the mansion.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she pretended not to know that the old lady had taken people to the temple to rest. Then she got the letter left by the old lady and stayed in the mansion to keep a house.
The eldest maid Chuntian naturally had no right to read the letter from Mr. Yao, so she could only continue to pretend that she didn't know and sent a maid to the temple. However, she had already heard about the whereabouts of Mr. Yao and his group from the people who came to pass the message. She thought that if it was fast, people might have followed the letter.
The maid Chuntian doesn’t know which day it is.
Now Gu Qingling is still in confinement again, so she is a little panicked.
Gu Qingling didn't see the letter, but she didn't know when the other party would arrive. She immediately made a decision - contact Chen Ma and go to the temple, and must go back to the house before Mr. Yao and the others arrived.
Only by making everything happen will people not be suspicious at that time.
"Yes, I know." Although the eldest maid Chuntian felt a little panicked, he forced himself to calm down when he heard Gu Qingling's orders and went to rent a carriage and sedan chair.
The next day, Aunt Ye and Aunt Tang heard Gu Qingling receive a letter from her husband's house and were about to go on the road.
"No, Mrs. Zhao, you haven't finished your confinement yet, why are you leaving now? No matter how anxious you are, you have to finish your confinement before leaving."
Gu Qingling looked sad: "I also want to finish my confinement period, but the person who wrote to me said, my husband's family..."
Before he could finish his words, tears shed.
"What's wrong? Something happened to your husband's family?!"
"Yeah!" Gu Qingling nodded in pain, "My husband had an accident and wanted to see the child for the last time."
"No, right? Why did you encounter such a thing..." Everyone sighed and quickly advised Gu Qingling to take care of her.
No matter what, the child is already born and has another son, and she will have a support for the rest of her life.
Since men are no longer able to do it, take good care of the child. When the child grows up in a few years, he will be able to end the hardships.
Gu Qingling nodded with red eyes, asked the servant to take some things out and hand them over to Aunt Ye, Aunt Tang: "Please take care of you during this period. I don't know how to thank you. This is my wish, I hope you will accept it."
As for how they will divide the matter next, Gu Qingling will not interfere.
He ordered a few servants to pack up the things and settle the wages. Gu Qingling took the little bun and got on the carriage leaving Jinling.
After leaving Jinling, Gu Qingling got off the carriage and waited on the side of the road. After a while, he got on another one and went straight to the temple.
On this side, Chen's mother had already received a letter from her eldest maid Chuntian. When she saw that it was from Yunyang City, she felt a little anxious.
She hasn't seen the old lady for more than half a month, and she doesn't know whether she dies or dies. She is really afraid of death.
What if the old lady has an accident, how can she explain to the Yao family?
I'm afraid that they all have to be buried with them.
But she had no choice. When she promised the old lady, she didn't send anyone to follow her. Now she doesn't know where to look for someone.
The only thing that is, she is still able to wait until the old lady has agreed to return.
At this moment, a maid ran over and said: "Mom Chen, a carriage came outside, saying that it was from your parents' home."
Chen's mother was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly became ecstatic: "Where is it? Take me there quickly."
Sure enough, a low-key carriage was parked outside, and the person in charge of chasing the car was a strange groom.
Chen's mother walked to the carriage and asked in a low voice: "But what message did my mother's house send?"
"Um!"
Just as he ummy, Mom Chen could hear it, it was just the old lady's voice.
Without saying a word, she quickly asked the groom to drive the carriage to the back door, cleared all the people in the backyard, and then respectfully greeted Gu Qingling.
Gu Qingling wore a hat and wrapped herself tightly, not even showing her face.
Chen's mother also wanted to give the coachman money. Although she saw Gu Qingling carrying a big basket, she didn't pay attention to what it was, so she asked Gu Qingling to invite her into the yard and then went to finish it.
After she finished cleaning the house she had cleaned up for Gu Qingling, she saw that Gu Qingling had already changed into the clothes she had prepared, looking like she had never left the house.
It’s just that complexion, it looks a little weak, and it seems like it’s getting fatter.
Gu Qingling handed the pile of changed clothes to Chen's mother and asked her to burn it.
"Yes, old lady." Chen's mother took the clothes and was about to say something, when she saw that there was a baby in the basket on the table?
She was stunned for a moment.
Wait, where did this kid come from?
Before she could speak, Gu Qingling had already smiled and picked up the child in the basket and said, "Mom Chen, come and see if this child is cute?"
