Noon is the time of day when the sun is strongest.

Gu Jinchu was served by the maid and simply wiped his body with a wet towel. Bathed in the sun, the moisture on his body quickly evaporated and he felt much fresher.

The few remaining feelings of confusion in my mind seemed to disappear.

She looked down and saw her belly which had not yet regained its firmness and elasticity, which made Gu Jinchu frown slightly.

Bai Zhi beside her whispered, "Madam, are you still going to use this ointment?"

Even without standing in front of the makeup mirror, Gu Jinchu could imagine that the skin on her abdomen was not only darker in color than other parts of her body, but also felt rougher.

In her previous life, her belly was not as big as this one. It took her five or six months to recover. This time, she needed even more careful conditioning.

Gu Jinchu nodded, unwilling to let others do it.

She scooped out a spoonful of ointment and placed it in her palm. After the ointment gradually melted, she applied it on her waist and abdomen.

After massaging carefully, she waited until the skin had absorbed all the perfume before raising her hand to close her clothes, with a hint of frustration on her expression.

When Master Jiang Wu returned to the inner room, Jin Chu had already packed everything.

The sun-filled room was filled with the aroma of rosemary, which was the scent of the ointment she had insisted on applying on her abdomen during pregnancy. If you looked carefully, you could even smell a faint scent of frankincense.

At that time, Gu Jinchu thought that the Fifth Master was intentionally keeping her in suspense. But when she heard what he said, she realized that the matter could not be explained in just a few words.

The old women followed the fifth master into the house. They carefully placed the box, which required several people to lift, on the ground, and then walked out with their heads lowered.

Master Jiang Wu bowed slightly, reached out to open the copper lock, and motioned for Gu Jinchu to look at what was inside.

"This is a gift from my father to my two children... He just called me over and said that with these, I can always rely on them to save my life and preserve my strength."

The gray carved copper box in front of me is about half a meter long.

Gu Jinchu raised his eyes and looked inside. Inside was a large box filled with neatly stacked gold bars.

She looked at Master Jiang Wu in astonishment and said softly, "Did the Duke give it to the children?"

If she hadn't known that the Duke had no intention of dividing the family property, she would have thought that the family property was converted into gold and given to their fifth room, and that their family of four was kicked out.

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Gu Jinchu was stunned.

It seems that there is not so much real money in the accounts of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Besides, the wife of the Duke is still alive. If the family is divided, the mother-in-law will definitely live with the youngest son.

Given the Duke's personality, he would not have separated from his wife at that time. In the future, it would be the Fifth Master who would take care of his parents.

Seeing her dazed look, Master Jiang Wu smiled and whispered, "Have someone move the box of gold to your private vault later. Not many people in the mansion know about it."

Gu Jinchu took the key he handed over and thought to himself, either he didn't know about this box of gold, or he didn't know the details of the Duke's private treasury.

Or maybe, I don’t know whether the Duke gave a box of gold to the fifth room.

There is a big difference between them.

The Duke has five sons and two daughters. It is impossible for him to leave all his assets on the books to his youngest son.

The copper key in his palm still carried the warmth of Master Jiang Wu's fingertips, and Gu Jinchu didn't let himself think about it for too long.

After instructing the servants to carry the box away, he and Master Jiang Wu looked at the two sleeping children.

Master Jiang Wu led her and asked her to sit on the edge of the kang.

I also gently moved the children's cribs so that their little bodies could bathe in the sunlight, while their chubby little faces hid in the shadows, which would not affect their sleep.

Gu Jinchu looked up at Master Jiang Wu's profile and said to him, "The child has not been given a nickname yet. Master Wu, how about we each give him one?"

Suddenly I feel that having two children, although it requires double the energy, the joy gained is double, and it makes them, as parents, feel involved.

Master Jiang Wu sat beside her and whispered, "Have you made up your mind, Jin Chu?"

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and thought carefully. In his previous life, Cheng'en was a little weak when he was born, so he gave him the nickname Changshun.

It means that he will grow up healthy and free from illness, and will have a smooth and successful life in the future, whether it is study, career or life.

The children have a father and cousin who were both top-ranked scholars in the imperial examination. They are the legitimate son and daughter of the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion, and the eldest princess of the current dynasty is their cousin.

In the future, whether in their studies or in life, if they do not make any major mistakes, they will naturally take fewer detours than ordinary people.

As their mother, Gu Jinchu hopes that her children can live healthy and happily in this world from childhood to adulthood.

"Although Cheng'en is not as heavy as Yu'en, he is chubby and very cute. His wet nurse, He, said that this child eats a lot and is visibly growing stronger."

When it comes to the two children, Gu Jinchu talks nonstop. She looks at them and turns to her eldest daughter in a gentle voice:

"Yuen always cries in a baby voice, and looks so delicate and lovable."

A girl whose crying voice is so delicate is certainly not suitable for the nickname "Little Hammer".

After hearing what she said, Master Jiang Wu put his big hand on the back of her neck, half hugged her, lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, and said in a low voice:

"If Cheng'en continues like this, he will become a chubby little guy in the future. Why not call him Tuanzi, which means that our family is reunited."

Gu Jinchu took advantage of the situation and hugged his thin waist, leaning on her broad chest, listening to him continue:

"Our daughter must grow up in a honey pot. I hope she will be as gentle and sweet as her mother in the future... Let's call her Nuonuo, okay?"

As he spoke, his big hand slid down from her shoulders and wrapped around her waist, holding her in his arms.

Gu Jinchu raised her head from his arms, tilted her neck slightly and smiled at him: "As expected of you, the number one scholar. The nickname you gave me really touches my heart."

Master Jiang Wu smiled and said, "Since you have won the madam's heart, I wonder if there is any reward for you?"

Gu Jinchu raised his eyebrows, pulled him closer to him, raised his head and kissed his cheek.

Kissed twice in a row.

"The eldest daughter and the eldest son are impartial."

Master Jiang Wu held her body as she tried to retreat, lowered his eyes and looked at her and asked, "Still impartial? What about mine? Was there not a single kiss for me?"
