The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

When I came out of the bathroom, I could already hear the sounds of servants sweeping the yard.

When Bai Shao came in to serve, she saw that her master was still tired, so she put a light layer of powder on her face, making her look a little more energetic.

After everything was cleaned up, Master Wu came back from his morning exercise.

Jiang Nansheng was feeling cold. After entering the room, she sat on the kang by the window and looked at Gu Jinchu in front of the dressing mirror from a distance.

Bai Shao quickly packed up the dressing box. The Fifth Master liked quietness, especially when he was alone with his wife. He found these maids and old women an eyesore.

Although the Fifth Master did not say it explicitly, he always sent them away directly. Bai Shao naturally knew this, so she acted even faster.

Gu Jinchu said in a low voice: "Let's set up breakfast."

The wind was quite strong last night, and most of the dead leaves on the trees were blown off. So when I looked out the window, the trees looked quite bare.

The sky was gloomy and the air pressure was a bit low, which made people feel a little depressed, but this did not affect Gu Jinchu's appetite.

After breakfast, each room came to pay their respects to the old lady.

The floor dragon has been lit in Minghui Hall. When the door curtain is opened, a warm current rushes towards you.

The old lady wore a brown jacket with a square collar and a gold-woven skirt. She had a bun on her head, gold hairpins with lotus patterns on both sides of her head, and gourd-shaped jade earrings on her ears.

The whole person looks wealthy, dignified, luxurious and grand.

"Today is a day off. Xiaowu has some time, so he takes us to the Huguo Temple to burn incense." The old lady said with a smile.

The female members of the family couldn't help but look at Gu Jinchu. Among the people in this room who called the Duke's wife mother, she was the only one who was the old lady's legitimate daughter-in-law.

She wanted to take her son and daughter-in-law with her to fulfill her wish, but someone else wanted to go with them, so she looked at the second wife again.

Standing next to Liu was the eldest daughter Jiang Miaohan. She smiled and said, "Sister Han and Brother Zhi'er's marriage has been settled. This is a good opportunity to go and worship the Buddha. I hope the children will have smooth sailing in the future."

Jiang Miaohan seldom went out since she got engaged. She had a pair of narrow eyes on her fair oval face. It was obvious that she had inherited the good features of the second master and the second lady.

Seeing that the elders in the family were all looking at her, she lowered her eyes and smiled: "I also copied some Buddhist scriptures. It's just right to burn these scriptures for the Buddha and pray for the health of grandparents and the elders in the family."

He is graceful and steady beyond his age.

She was going to marry her cousin from a branch of her maternal family, who passed the imperial examination this spring. The only flaw was that the groom was only a bastard.

The second wife and her husband were both born out of wedlock, so the requirements for their status were not so strict.

The eldest daughter married far away, and Gu Jinchu didn't remember how her married life was like.

However, I was deeply impressed by the marriage of the second and third young masters, who were born in the same year.

The old lady nodded when she heard this and said, "You are a thoughtful child."

Then she told the maids and servants to load the carriage with the things she had prepared, including a tea box and Buddhist scriptures she had copied in advance, which were the things she would need for the journey.

The head maid Xuezhu came over, holding in her hands the cloak that the old lady was going to wear.

Seeing this, Gu Jinchu walked over, smiled and said, "Let me do it." He helped the old lady put it on, adjusted it, and then tied the straps.

Seeing that the old lady did not ask her to serve her personally, Xuezhu and the maidservants around the Fifth Lady walked towards the carriage where the servants were riding.

Jiang Nansheng stood beside Gu Jinchu, with his big hand on the back of her waist. When he saw her looking at him, he lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

Gu Jinchu glanced at him, supported the old lady's arm, and turned his back to him.

Jiang Nansheng touched his nose and followed her slowly.

Liu and her eldest daughter, along with the maids and servants, walked towards the second green-curtained carriage.

Old Madam Jiang pulled Gu Jinchu to sit in the same carriage with her. The tall horse with a Danglu on its head had the logo of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion and looked majestic.

After she and her daughter-in-law sat down, the curtain was opened again. Seeing the person coming up, the old lady joked without any ambiguity:

"Every time I went to Huguo Temple, Xiaowu always rode a horse. Why did you get on the carriage today without asking anyone to let you go?"

Jiang Nansheng had a gentle smile on his face, which seemed to bring a hint of warmth to the slightly cool air. He whispered, "Of course, my son has something to say to his mother."

The old lady pretended to be angry when she heard this, "Since you have something to say to me, why don't you sit next to me?"

After Gu Jinchu helped his mother-in-law into the car, the old lady sat on the seat at the rear of the car.

She sat down on the right side of the old lady, and Jiang Nansheng came up and sat next to her naturally.

Now, when the old lady and her youngest son are talking, she is between them.

Gu Jinchu leaned against the carriage, and both men looked at her when they talked, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

Even though I knew the old lady was joking, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Nansheng smiled, without explaining anything, and stretched out his arm to pick up the teapot from the small stove.

He poured three cups of hot tea into the teacups one by one and placed them in front of them. He also took out snacks and fruits from the food box and placed them in order.

The youngest son had been married for a few days, and this was one of the few opportunities for Mrs. Jiang to be alone with her young daughter-in-law.

The old lady stopped visiting her youngest son and said to Gu Jinchu beside her: "Don't think that Xiaowu has read a lot of books. He is a very boring person in life."

Gu Jinchu held the teacup in both hands. She had not had a good night's rest and she just yawned secretly.

Shouldn't you praise your own children? Besides, Jiang Nansheng is not the kind of person the old lady said he was, sometimes he talks a lot.

Her eyes were moist, and she looked ignorant and well-behaved. She shook her head at her mother-in-law and said, "Fifth Master, I'm fine."

When Jiang Nansheng heard the seriousness in her words, a smile welled up in his eyes and a smile line appeared on his lips.

How could she be so well-behaved? So well-behaved that he couldn't help but want to bully her.

The old lady nodded and smiled, "Xiao Wu is good in every way, except that he is sometimes too thoughtful. I'm glad he didn't let you get wronged."

Gu Jinchu blushed when he heard this. Speaking of bullying, he did bully her...

The marriage of her youngest son has always been a huge stone weighing on Madam Jiang's heart.

She was an experienced person, so she certainly did not miss the natural and heartfelt intimacy between the young couple.

My youngest son is newly married and looks so happy. I can’t help but think of my granddaughter.

The old lady sighed and said, "After the age of 18, Sister Xuan will be eighteen years old. Her mother gave birth to her when she was eighteen. I don't know where her marriage will be."

After hearing the old lady's words, Jiang Nansheng and Gu Jinchu looked at each other.

The last incident didn't cause a big stir, and the elders at home are still keeping it a secret...

At this time, Jiang Fei's voice came from outside the carriage, "Master Wu, we are almost there."
