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

It seems like as soon as spring comes, all good things come one after another.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he not only issued a general amnesty, but also moved forward the spring imperial examination that was due two years ago.

The third young master of the first wife's house in Duke Dingguo's mansion, and the second and fourth young masters of the second wife's house, failed the imperial examination last year and continued to take part in the imperial examination this year.

As expected, the fifteen-year-old fourth young master failed the exam and said with a smile that he had one more chance to prepare for the test.

The third young master didn't want to participate in the first place, so after failing the exam again, he not only blamed the Crown Prince's wife, but also didn't want to go to the Imperial College anymore.

Although the second young master Jiang Chengzhi did not rank high, he would still be respectfully addressed as Jinshi Master in the future.

The second eldest daughter Jiang Miaohan, whose maternal cousin Liu Feiyu is also her future husband, failed the spring examination, but successfully entered the Imperial College with her outstanding performance in the examination.

For the second house and Mrs. Liu, it was a double blessing.

It was just that the wife of the Crown Prince from the first house was unhappy for a few days, until the order for the transfer of her eldest son came, she smiled again.

March 22nd is the day when the second young master Jiang Chengzhi gets married.

Before the Yin hour, the Duke Dingguo's mansion began to get busy. Smoke was already rising from the chimneys of the small kitchens in the courtyards.

Gu Jinchu turned over uneasily in her sleep, but with the soft pillow behind her waist, it was not difficult for her to turn over.

Master Jiang Wu was a light sleeper. He noticed her movements and stretched out his arms to adjust the angle of the soft pillow under her.

Then he half hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Did you get disturbed outside?"

Gu Jinchu shook her head slightly and took off the thin blanket on her body. As the months went by, she began to be unable to stand the heat.

Not to mention, there is a big stove next to it.

Master Jiang Wu moved his arms away a little, and put the thin blanket on both of them around his waist. He raised his hand and patted her back gently, coaxing her softly, "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

As he spoke, he heard Jin Chu's breathing become steady again. Master Jiang Wu glanced at the dark sky outside the partition, and then closed his eyes again.

When Gu Jinchu opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was already bright. It was a sunny day.

Master Jiang Wu, who had just returned from morning exercise, saw that she had already sat up and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Gu Jinchu stepped down from the bed wearing embroidered shoes. Seeing this, Bai Shao hurried over to support the lady.

She turned her head, gave Master Jiang Wu a disapproving look, and walked towards the bathroom with the help of servants.

Seeing this, Master Jiang Wu shook his head with a doting smile on his face.

When Gu Jinchu came out of the bathroom, the servants had already prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, she packed up and planned to go to Madam Jiang's place.

There is a happy event at home today, and there must be many female relatives in Minghui Hall. It would be inconvenient for Master Jiang Wu to accompany her.

Besides, he would go to the front yard to help greet the distinguished guests coming to the mansion.

Master Wu Jiang picked up the hairpin that Gu Jinchu was going to wear today from the dressing box and inserted it into her hair with his own hands.

He instructed Bai Zhi and Cheng Mama beside him, "Madam is in poor health. There are many guests at home today. You must keep an eye on her at all times."

Gu Jinchu raised her hand and hooked his little finger, looking up at him with a smile on her fair and delicate face, "Fifth Master, I'm just going to Minghui Hall to pay my respects to my mother. I'm not going to the new house to join in the fun. You're being too cautious."

Master Jiang Wu touched the top of her head and said softly, "You are pregnant, so you are more delicate than before. If it weren't for your good relationship with my second sister-in-law, I wouldn't want you to show up."

Jin Chu is now pregnant with twins. It is now seven months pregnant. Her belly is as swollen as a balloon, and it looks particularly large compared to her delicate and slender limbs.

The plumpness gained in the early stages of pregnancy now seems to have been reduced a little.

Gu Jinchu had a faint smile on her face, and she nodded in agreement to everything Master Jiang Wu said.

Seeing that Jiang Wuye still seemed worried, he said slyly, "I will not only bring Bai Zhi and Cheng Mama, but also Bai Shao and Bai He, so that all the guests today can see the pomp of Jiang Wuye's wife."

Master Jiang Wu then walked towards the courtyard gate with concern. He You stood outside waiting for his master. At this time, guests began to arrive in the outer courtyard one after another.

Not long after Fifth Master Jiang left the house, the maidservant beside Old Madam Jiang came over to pass on a message, asking Fifth Madam to go to the banquet hall when the banquet was about to start.

A small oil cart with a green curtain was brought along for the Fifth Madam to use in the inner courtyard.

Although his mother-in-law said so, Gu Jinchu could not take advantage of her favor and become arrogant. She took a small oil cart to the banquet hall.

After leaving Yuanyuan Hall, the sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers outside became clearer. Gu Jinchu looked out along the curtain of the car.

It was the day when I married Master Jiang Wu, a bustling scene in the mansion that I didn’t have the chance to see.

At this time, the banquet hall was already full of guests, including the women of the Jiang family and the ladies who had been on good terms with the Duke's wife. Wang's mother, the Minister of Works, Old Lady Wang, was also there.

Wang, who had just been serving her mother, stood up and walked towards the main seat after seeing Gu Jinchu come in.

Madam Jiang was sitting upright in the middle of the seat. An old woman beside her leaned slightly sideways and spoke to her in a very respectful manner.

Among the ladies sitting at the table was my third aunt. If my mother hadn’t been pregnant, she would have come here today.

Seeing her daughter-in-law come in, Old Madam Jiang waved to her to come over, took her hand and introduced her to the ladies in the banquet hall.

Seeing this, the woman next to her gave up her seat. After Gu Jinchu sat down, he happened to sit between his mother-in-law and his third aunt.

After seeing Mrs. Jiang nod slightly, she did not continue to refuse.

As the eldest daughter-in-law in charge of household affairs, Wang, although she has Liu's help, does not want to give up too much power, so she still has to do many things herself.

When he came out of the banquet hall, he looked inside twice with concern.

Yao was born in Sanjiang City, and had only been back in Beijing with her husband for a few months. Her personality had prevented her from adapting to the circle of noble ladies in the capital, so she didn't have many acquaintances at the banquet.

Seeing that Gu Jinchu didn't talk to the Duke's wife anymore, he pointed at the crab meat in the bowl and asked her in a low voice: "Jinchu, sea crabs are cold in nature. Is it convenient for you to eat them now?"

Gu Jinchu turned her head and saw what her third aunt was pointing at. Apart from her grandmother, mother and Uncle Jiang Wu, no one else had taken such good care of her.

She smiled and replied, "I used to eat seafood before I got pregnant. It won't harm the baby if I don't eat too much now."

Yao nodded, picked up the bowl, placed it in front of Gu Jinchu, and said softly, "Eat it. I will also peel it for your mother-in-law to eat in the general's mansion. Your mother has eaten it too."

She grew up by the sea, so this was easy for her to do. In her hometown, there weren't so many rules, so she didn't think there was anything wrong.

Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Mrs. Wang who was sitting diagonally opposite. She took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, smiling and said, "Mrs. Jiang Wu is so lucky. Looking at her belly, I'm afraid she is about to give birth, right?"
