When her daughter and son-in-law kowtowed to her, Zheng Mudan couldn't help but shed tears.
These were tears of happiness and relief. She lowered her head and gently wiped them twice. When she raised her head again, her expression had returned to normal.
Her sister Chu had a phoenix-tail bun on her head. After not seeing her for a few days, she had lost the immaturity of a girl waiting to be married and had now become a young woman.
Her face was full of shyness and happiness, and she was obviously living a good life. The gifts she received also fully demonstrated that Mrs. Jiang and the Duke were very satisfied with their daughter-in-law.
What's more, there is the son-in-law who has been following Chu Jie'er closely since he entered the house and paying full attention to his daughter.
People often say, "The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him." Today, Zheng Mudan finally deeply experienced the meaning of this sentence.
After Gu Jinchu stood up, he took Zheng Mudan's hand and asked, "Mother, why didn't I see my grandparents?"
Zheng Mudan smiled, and Zheng Kaiji and Gu Wen came over and invited Jiang Nansheng to sit in the flower hall for tea.
She took her daughter back to the inner courtyard, explaining as they walked: "Your grandmother meant that there is always a layer of separation, so how can you come and perform the ceremony again?"
The cup of tea Jiang Nansheng gave to the Zheng family last time had already given them enough face. His parents knew the sincerity of their son-in-law.
The old couple were extremely satisfied and rushed here with their family from Gu'an yesterday.
For fear of delay in bringing Gu Jinchu back home, Gu Wen and Zheng Kaiji were asked to stay at General Gu'an's Mansion last night.
Gu Jinchu touched her nose when she heard this. She didn’t think as much as her grandmother did.
After all, a lot has changed since her last life. Back then, when she went back home, all she saw were people who flattered her and caused trouble for her.
Unlike today, my grandmother would wait in the main room with the women in the family.
"Grandma." Gu Jinchu walked in and went straight to the Zheng family's Madam who was sitting at the top seat.
Zheng Liu stood up from the Luohan bed, walked down the steps, took Gu Jinchu's hand, and looked her up and down with a loving smile on her face:
"Our Chu Jieer is finally back. Your mother started talking about it as soon as she got up. If your aunt hadn't stopped her, she would have gone to the outer courtyard gate to wait for your carriage."
Madam Wu laughed and teased, "That's right! Your mother is busy early in the morning. How should I put it in my mother's words..."
"A spinning top!" Second Madam Meng agreed with a smile.
Gu Jinchu shook her grandmother's hand amidst the laughter and joy, "Is it only mother who misses me? Grandma, don't you worry that I'm not doing well in the Jiang family?"
Seeing her coquettish and charming appearance, Madam Zheng couldn't help but think of the little kid who grew up beside her when she was young. She pretended to be disgusted and said:
"What do I miss you for? You want to pluck the flowers I worked so hard to grow so that you can dye your nails. The cat is eating melon seeds in my bed, just like a mouse has followed in..."
Gu Jinchu covered her mouth and smiled, her pretty eyes and eyebrows curved, "Who wasn't naughty when they were little? I'm grown up now."
Ang'er stood beside his grandmother, looking at his cousin with his big, bright eyes.
She did so many things when she was a child, she must have been very happy.
Gu Jinchu coaxed his grandmother and greeted the elders with a smile.
My second aunt and eldest cousin's wife seem to be about the same month of pregnancy, and their bellies are already very big.
Mrs. Meng held her belly and smiled as she said, "Our Chu Jieer has become even more beautiful after marriage."
After saying that, she waved for Gu Jinchu to come over, took her hand and placed it on her bulging belly, "This is your little cousin inside, I hope she can be as beautiful as our Chu Jie in the future."
Gu Jinchu couldn't help but laugh when he saw his second aunt like this. In her previous life, she gave birth to a son.
This disappointed my second uncle and aunt for a long time.
At this time, Anger said with a serious face, "Second Grandmother, mother is carrying a little sister in her belly, and you are carrying a little uncle in your belly."
As soon as his childish words came out, the women in the room laughed again.
Meng gave birth to two sons and became pregnant again at the age of 33.
Ever since the day she found out she was pregnant, she had hoped that the baby in her belly would be a daughter, and she dreamed of having a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Wang called her son over and said to him with a smile, "How can you, a little kid, know whether it's your uncle or your sister?"
She didn't have much idea about whether it would be a boy or a girl, she just wanted Anger and his son.
One of them wanted a daughter and the other wanted a sister.
Anger remembered what his grandmother said, stood quietly beside his mother, and said seriously:
"If she's my little aunt, I can only respect her. If my mother gives birth to a little sister, I can pamper her like a cousin."
This made the old lady laugh so hard that she fell backwards. "I wonder what kind of genes our Zheng family has? They are all daughter slaves and sister control. Now little An Ge'er has already thought about how to be a good brother in the future!"
The lady often said shocking things. Although she didn't quite understand what the terms "daughter-slave" and "sister-con" meant, she could imagine what they meant when she saw how favored Zheng Mudan and Gu Jinchu were.
Speaking of children, Gu Jinchu naturally asked about the due date of his second aunt and eldest cousin's wife.
The two were about to give birth in a month, and by that time the Zheng family had already moved to Gu'an.
This time when we came to Xianghe, because there were two pregnant women, Mr. Wu Zizhen was also accompanying us to deal with any emergencies.
After talking about children, we also talked about the marriages of several cousins.
My second and third cousins are already past the age of getting married.
My second cousin Zheng Kaiyu is the eldest son of the second wife. On the day he received the good news that he had ranked sixth in the first class of the palace examination, he went to his sweetheart's house with a betrothal gift to propose marriage.
Taking into account the mother's recovery period after giving birth, the wedding date was set for the beginning of next spring.
My third cousin Zheng Kaicheng has been traveling abroad for so many years, and his family has never considered his marriage.
It is said that a girl from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. Now that he has won the top spot in the imperial examination, he has become very popular, and the threshold of the main house is being trampled down by matchmakers.
Finally, it was the first wife, Mrs. Wu, who announced to the public that the marriage arrangements of the family's offspring were decided by the dowager, and only then was the situation quiet for a while.
In the end, the topic revolved around children, and none of the female members of the Zheng family said anything to urge Gu Jinchu to give birth.
However, she was not shy about talking about women's childbirth and confinement.
It was the warmth that Gu Jinchu had never experienced when he returned home in his previous life.
Jiang Nansheng was no stranger to Mr. Wu Zizhen. When his father was poisoned, it was he and his father Wu Jizhou who worked together to treat him.
When Wu Zizhen first heard Jiang Nansheng's words, he was very surprised and thought he had heard it wrong.
After arriving at the Peony Garden last night, that stupid big Jinyiwei Qin Lang asked him to prescribe a tonic that can help women get pregnant quickly.
Today, Mr. Jiang Wu came to him to ask for contraceptive medicine for men.
Really...really two incredible people!
