Chapter 195: Marriage in Previous Life
"This is a warning from someone in the capital to the Gu family!"
Gu Jiusi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It's all because our brothers are too capable and poked their lungs!"
"Oh, right, my brother added a family rule before he left Beijing, that men in the family are not allowed to get married before the age of 25! Anyway, I still have two years before I turn 25, so what if I agree to the marriage? They can't save the scum in the Jiangnan officialdom now!"
Seeing Gu Jiusi trying to be happy despite the hardship, Xu Shixian felt very sorry: "I heard that your Gu family cannot take concubines, and you married someone you don't like. You will have a hard time without a soulmate in your pillow for the rest of your life!"
"It's okay. I'm not like my brother. I don't have anyone I like. It doesn't matter who I marry. When you heard that you were going to marry Princess Fule, you lost ten pounds of weight out of worry. Now, aren't you two as happy as honey?" Gu Jiusi chuckled.
"Perhaps the marriage between me and the minister's daughter was also destined in our previous life?"
Xu Shixian was stunned. He knew that people could not stay in sadness for long, but Gu Jiusi's ability to comfort himself was too good!
Half a month after Gu Jiusi arrived in Jiangnan, the weather cleared up, making disaster relief and reconstruction easier.
The common people all said that the governor who came this time was a lucky person, and even the heavens were helping him.
Although the flood was serious, fortunately, due to proper epidemic prevention measures in the early stage, apart from some small-scale epidemic infections, no major epidemic broke out, which is even more fortunate.
Rumors gradually spread throughout Jiangnan that this was all thanks to Gu Feiwan!
The river lord's surname is Gu, the governor's surname is Gu, and even the female Bodhisattva who distributes porridge and medicine is named Gu.
Some people say that these three people are actually brothers and sisters, and they are from the Gu family, a merchant family from Jiangnan.
Even though I have moved to the capital now, I have not forgotten the people of Jiangnan!
As a result, many common people spontaneously set up longevity tablets for the Gu family, praying to God to bless the Gu family, which means to bless the people of Jiangnan.
In the pomegranate garden, Gu Feiwan was lying under the shade of a tree. She had just walked around the courtyard when Doctor Song finally agreed that she could lie down for a while.
Now that her due date is getting closer, this is a happy thing,
Gu Feiwan was pregnant with twins, and her belly was as big as a drum. Now she needed Qingshuang and Nanny Zhu to support her in order to walk steadily.
Nanny Zhu always coaxed her, saying that everything would be easy after the birth, and Gu Feiwan was also looking forward to this day.
But for some reason, Gu Feiwan has been restless these past few days. He wakes up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep again.
Doctor Song carefully prescribed a tranquilizer and sternly warned the patient not to stress himself again!
"Qingshuang, give me a bowl of ice cream, my throat is smoking!" Gu Feiwan tugged at her collar. The weather was not hot yet, but she felt it was already scorching.
Qingshuang stole a glance at Doctor Song in the distance and said cautiously, "Miss, Doctor Song won't let you!"
Today, Doctor Song's expression was even colder than before. Qingshuang did not dare to make trouble.
"You can do it secretly, just say you want to eat it, and when she doesn't know what to do, just give me a spoonful!" Gu Feiwan looked at Qingshuang pitifully, like a child crying for candy.
Qing Shuang gritted her teeth and stamped her feet: "Mammy, please keep an eye on the girl. I'll go to the gate to see if the fish we ordered has arrived!"
Having said that, he turned around and ran!
Gu Feiwan was stunned for a long while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This heartless girl, next time I have something delicious, I won't leave any for her!"
Nanny Zhu advised: "Young lady, just be patient. It will only take about ten days. When you give birth to the young masters, you can eat whatever you want!"
Gu Feiwan was helpless and covered her face with a handkerchief: "Actually, I just want to taste it. What's the difference between the ice cream in Jiangnan and the one in Beijing? Mammy, I'm a little scared..."
Nanny Zhu's eyes were filled with heartache. Her daughter was really unlucky in marriage. Not to mention the Weiwu Marquis, Ning Weizhou was not a reliable person either.
The girl's belly is already so big and she is about to give birth, but she has never been to the pomegranate orchard to take a look!
Is it that the child in the concubine's belly is the most important?
"Don't be afraid, young lady. Didn't the eldest master send a letter saying that he would arrive in Wuzhou in two days? The young masters have their uncle watching over them, so they will be fine!"
Nanny Zhu had said words of comfort countless times in the past two days, but she was still unsure.
Gu Feiwan was a twin, and the risk of childbirth was greater than that of ordinary pregnant women.
In recent days, Gu Feiwan's sleep and eating habits have been much worse than before, and he often suffers from night sweats and palpitations.
At this point, Nanny Zhu really regretted not persuading Gu Feiwan to stay in the capital.
Otherwise, why would there be so many things?
Even if Ning Weizhou takes a concubine, the sky is high and the road is long, and I won’t be bothered if I can’t see her!
Since the flood, Gu Feiwan has been exhausted. People from the house over there have been asking for money every few days.
There was a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and Gu Feiwan had to calculate even a grain of rice, but Liu Biyan had already held two poetry banquets!
To put it nicely, it is to pray for the people and wish for peace in Jiangnan.
But what’s the point of writing so many poems?
Can those disaster victims be eaten as food?
Nanny Zhu was complaining in her heart when suddenly a noisy voice came from the second door:
"You are not allowed to go in! My girl is resting, no one is allowed to disturb her!"
"I have something very important to report to the mistress. You can't afford to delay us!"
"Stop! If you take another step forward, I will be rude to you!"
"Go ahead and hit him. Hit him here. This is the son of the great general and your future master. How dare you, a lowly slave, be so presumptuous!"
The sound came from far away, Gu Feiwan pulled down the handkerchief, looking impatient: "Why did you come in today?"
Nanny Zhu quickly replied, "I'll go take a look!"
When Nanny Zhu arrived, the group had already reached the Chuihua Gate.
"What are you arguing about?" Nanny Zhu scolded, "This is the Pomegranate Garden, not a place for miscellaneous things that are not presentable. Are there any rules?"
Qingshuang was anxious and angry. She stretched out her arms to stop him, but he thrust his belly forward, making it difficult for her to force him:
"Mammy, they are unreasonable and are forcing their way in!"
"Our master is here to pay his respects to the mistress, how can he call Chuang?" Madam Wu shouted as she walked and protected Liu Biyan.
Nanny Zhu winked at Qing Shuang and went up to give Nanny Wu a shove. Qing Shuang quickly hugged Liu Bi Yan in her arms:
"Aunt, be careful. Your nanny is really old and can't walk steadily. She can't let you get hurt!"
Nanny Wu was feeling proud when she was suddenly pushed hard. She screamed and took several steps back, bumping into the rockery beside her!
Nanny Zhu raised her hand and waved it up.
"Clap clap clap..."
More than ten slaps in a row made Wu Ma dizzy and her ears buzzed.
"You dare to speak rudely in the pomegranate garden? I wonder which brothel taught you this rule? A dog that can't even tell who is its master should be sold out, killed, skinned and cooked into soup!"
Nanny Zhu is an elder of the Gu family. The Gu family comes from a family of merchants and they have only paid more attention in recent years. When they were struggling in the past, what could they not say?
Liu Biyan was so angry that she was shaking all over. As a woman who spent all day holding books, she had never heard such abusive words before. It was simply disgraceful!
"Madam Zhu, are you scolding my Liu family for having no upbringing?"
