The lady of the house didn't know what was going on at the Yuan's and hastily asked.
Yuan YuYe hastily told Madame Yuan's illness to the elder lady.
"Seventh Sister is indeed skilled in medicine, one dose of White Tiger Decoction and Patriarch Ji's illness has alleviated by more than half, he doesn't feel cold anymore; after drinking for two days, the symptoms of fear of cold and wind have disappeared. Now he just feels a bit weak, tomorrow he should be able to get out of bed..." Yuan YuYe lavishly praised Gu Jin."
Everyone present looked at Gu Jin after hearing this.
"Actually, it's not a serious illness, and I just happened to run into..."
The second lady was thinking, why did Song Tan'er and Gu Jin go to visit the Yuan family?
Isn't it all the gold at home donated, now thinking of making some money to spend, starting to take advantage of the Yuan family?
The second lady made a strong eye contact with Si Gu Niang.
Gu Shan is useless and easily deceived, Second Madam worries about her.
Gu Xuanzhi stood beside San Nainai, whispering something to her in a soft voice, and didn't look at his own mother or cousin Wu Niang.
The madam smiled and said, "Our family's Jie'er is becoming more and more humble, with the demeanor of a renowned doctor." Then she turned to Yuan Yu Ye and said, "We'll go visit your mother tomorrow."
Yuan Yu Ye said yes.
Madam knew that Yuan Youye was going to take the imperial examination next month, so she asked him: "Have you reviewed your books well?"
"It's all settled." Yuan Yuye said.
"Be careful with your studies." The madam reminded him, "When you get a high rank in the imperial examination and become an official, bring back a noble title for San Jie."
Yuan Youye said: "Young son-in-law must do his best!"
Gu Xuan's face turned slightly red.
Song Pan'er asked Song Mama to go down to the kitchen and add a few more dishes.
He also ordered people to clean up the Western Flower Hall and set up a screen to separate it. Later, men and women sat separately.
Afraid of being bored after dinner, he called a blind storyteller from outside to tell stories and relieve boredom.
Song's mother and Haitang went to make arrangements one by one.
Everyone came out together, and naturally they had a good chat.
Madam asked Yuan Yu Ye's words, and Yuan Yu Ye saw two uncles. Hurriedly went forward to pay respects.
Gu Chenzhi then went with Gu Qingzhi and Yuan Yuye to the east wing to talk.
"Third Auntie, I'll go take a look at tenth brother and eleventh brother." Gu Xiang said, pulling on Third Granny's hand, to Song Tan'er.
Song Pan'er just smiled: "Go." She called Mu Qing over and took Gu Xuan Zhi and San Niangzi Xia Shi over.
Xiao Shi and Xiao Shiyi are both awake. The wet nurse has just fed them milk and is now holding them in the warm pavilion for a stroll.
Gu Shan and San Nainai Xia walked forward, one carrying the other.
Little Ten is quiet and reserved, but very capable, plump and white; Little Eleven is clever, but thin and not as likable as Little Ten.
Third Granny Xia held Little Eleven in her arms, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes.
She is under too much pressure.
She has been married for a whole year, but her husband hasn't even touched her. Unfortunately, her belly just isn't cooperating. Her mother-in-law is not enthusiastic about helping her conceive, only coldly mocking her; and her elder sister-in-law is too generous with her words, always telling her that Eldest Sister-in-law didn't give birth to Xiao Jie until two years after marriage, so there's no need to rush.
She is just the mother of her natal family. Every time she returns to her natal family, her mother always grumbles for half a day. She also invited a statue of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy, to her home and burns incense and worships day and night, praying for blessings for her.
Her husband Gu Qingzhi didn't say much, but one summer morning, Xia woke up to find Gu Qingzhi awake, his hand on her belly, gently stroking it, and then he let out a silent sigh.
Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Xia felt that today was not suitable for being too emotional, so she quickly suppressed her emotions and looked up to talk to Gu Shan.
Gu Xuan held Little Ten and also fell into a long silence.
Gu Xuanzhi was married into the Yuan family in September and it has been nearly half a year now... She is even more anxious!
The Yuan family is not like the Gu family.
The first and second wives of the Yuan family were both pregnant as soon as they entered the house. The first wife had one son and two daughters, while the second wife had two sons.
The grandma never said anything, but instead made Gu Xuanzhi's heart grow suspicious.
She always secretly resented her own belly for not being strong enough.
Last month, for some reason, her period didn't come on time, which made Gu Xianzhi extremely happy, thinking she was pregnant. She waited for two days and when her period still hadn't arrived, she had someone inform her mother-in-law to invite a doctor over to take her pulse.
Madam Yuan was overjoyed and hastily invited a doctor.
The person who invited the doctor has not returned yet, and when Gu Xuan went to the toilet, her underwear was stained with a patch of red.
She sat on the toilet and cried, refusing to get up.
What a joke!
Grandma didn't say anything and comforted her: "Don't worry..."
The servants in her family and her sisters-in-law secretly laughed at her behind her back, and she knew it.
She was so angry that she could have smashed her head to death at that thought.
Her eyes were suddenly misty.
The two sisters-in-law handed the child to the wet nurse, and then San Nainai Xia Shi pulled Gu Xiang's hand: "Third Aunt, I've come to this courtyard several times, but never thoroughly strolled around. Shall we take a walk and see its elegance?"
Gu Shan wiped away her tears and said: "Alright..."
The two sisters-in-law walked out, not allowing the maid to follow closely, only letting her trail far behind.
No one was left by her side, so San Nainai Xia Shi said to Gu Xiang: "Fourth sister, my heart is like a cat's claw scratching, restless day and night."
Gu Xuanzi was startled and hastily asked: "What's wrong with San Shu?"
"Not even a child yet..." Third Granny sighed heavily, "I've been married for a whole year now."
Gu Shan was taken aback by these words, which struck a chord in her heart. She too had been wanting to find someone to talk to about the joke that had happened last time.
Listening to San Nai Nai's words, Gu Xuan Zhi's eyes turned red and said: "I feel even more uncomfortable in my heart. Last time, I lost all face..."
Then she told her mother-in-law to ask a doctor to come and take her pulse. Then Xiaorizi came again, and the matter was told to San Nainai.
Third Granny grasped her hand and smiled: "You're also anxious. It doesn't matter, you can tell yourself that you're anxious, your mother-in-law is delighted..."
Then he thought for a moment and said, "We have to think of something, we can't just sit here and do nothing, it's making the family anxious."
The two sisters-in-law sympathized with each other's misfortunes.
"What good ideas do you have?"
"What good idea do I have?" Third Granny smiled, "But my mother said that in the western part of the city, there is a Guanyin Temple, which is most effective for praying for children. You must go yourself to worship and invite the White Jade Guanyin back home. Only then will it be effective when you personally offer sacrifices. However, let's wait for a few days before we go?"
"Alright, alright." Gu Xuanzhi was overjoyed. "You set the date. Once you've set a date, let me know."
The three grandmothers smiled and nodded in agreement.
The two sisters-in-law talked for half a day, all of which was mutual comfort.
Later, a little maid came and said that it was time for lunch, and they were looking everywhere for them.
After dinner, Mrs. Lian wanted to send someone to see if Old Master could be seen.
The old man still refused to see them.
Song Pan'er invited them to sit down and asked the blind storyteller to start telling his tale.
The madam thought it was unseemly to take pleasure, and led everyone to get up and bid farewell.
Back home. San Nainai asked her mother to flip the calendar and found out that January 28th is a good day, so she set it for January 28th.
She herself went and told the lady of the house.
The madam heard this and didn't dislike it at all.
She said: "I happened to be free that day, I'll go with you!"
Descendants are a major event for the clan.
Third Granny couldn't decline, so she said: "I'm troubling you, Elder Aunt."
Just then, Big Grandma Lin Manjing came in and asked what was going on.
The lady said she was going to the Guanyin Temple.
"Me too," said Grandma hastily.
The fifth daughter hadn't gone out for a long time. There was a temple fair next to the Guanyin Temple, and she wanted to sneak away and take a look. So she pulled on the madam's sleeve and coaxed: "Auntie, I want to go too! I want to go too!"
The old lady burst out laughing: "What are you doing? Foolish girl, at the Temple of Guanyin for Sending Children, do you know what it's used for?"
The fifth girl certainly knew.
Her face turned red, but she insisted, saying: "I'll go take a stroll around the temple fair. Auntie, please take me with you! Please!"
The lady had no choice but to agree.
Third Granny said Fourth Auntie was going too.
"It doesn't matter, I'll send someone to pick up Shan Jie tomorrow," said the madam with a smile.
After Mrs. Yuan recovered from her illness, she first went to the third house to send thank-you gifts, and then went to the old residence of the Gu family to thank Madam for visiting her. She also said that she had disturbed her relatives and wanted to invite Madam to her home to liven things up.
The lady smiled and said, "There are only a few more days until the fourth master's birthday. When we receive the good news, it will be even more lively when we go then."
Mrs. Yuan thought so too and didn't persist.
Madam Wang again told Madame Yuan about what happened when she took Twenty-Eight to send off her daughter at the Guanyin Temple in the west of the city.
Mrs. Yuan hastily agreed.
On the twenty-eighth, Mrs. Yuan personally accompanied Gu Xuanzi to come.
The big house on the other side was bustling with activity as people went out, and the second lady still didn't know what was going on.
She sent someone to ask around and only then did she find out that it was the first wife who had taken the third wife to the Guanyin Temple, but didn't tell the second wife.
The second lady got angry and scolded the third lady for not taking her as a serious wife, only trying to curry favor with the first lady.
"Just wait and see what treasure her aunt will give her in the future!" The second lady snorted, "A cheap slut with an overbearing attitude!"
From Gu's house to the Guanyin Temple in Chengxi, it takes half a day by carriage.
The servants of the Gu family had already come over to tidy up and had requested a quiet room.
Everyone got off the bus, and a girl came out to greet them.
They went to their rooms to rest, and after everyone had tidied up a bit, Madame Wang led several of the older women to burn incense.
The fifth daughter deliberately lagged behind and dawdled.
When Madame Wang and others had gone a long way off, she quietly put on her sunshade, took Yinger with her, and slipped out by the side door.
Today is a market day, and the businessmen in the city came early to set up their stalls.
Most of the visitors to Guanyin Temple are women, who buy rouge, powder, pearl earrings and silk fans, dazzling in variety.
The quality is mostly medium to low grade, but there are countless styles.
They were all women surrounding and watching.
The fifth daughter was in high spirits and simply lifted the curtain of the canopy, and every stall had to be picked up.
More and more people came, some rubbing shoulders and jostling each other.
Rong Xia was very afraid and said to Wu Niang: "Miss, let's go back. If the madam finds out, she'll punish you again."
The fifth girl glared at her: "Mind your own business! Eldest Aunt agreed to let me come and take a stroll, otherwise why would I have come?"
Ying Xia was about to lower her parasol again.
"Look around you, they're all young girls and daughters-in-law, why are you so anxious!" The fifth daughter dodged her hand and retreated two steps back.
She backed away quickly and almost bumped into someone.
The fifth daughter was secretly angry at who blocked her way, turned around and took a look, and it was actually a young noble.
This young man was bumped by someone and his mood wasn't good, just about to get angry, but when he looked up, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in luxurious clothes, with elegant manners.
He was stunned.
Gu Pei was shocked in his heart.
Summer rushed up and pulled down her parasol's silk curtain, grasping her hand: "Miss, let's hurry!"
Gu Pei went out for a stroll and wasn't afraid of running into men.
But it's not right to bump into others like this, so I followed Ying Xia and hurriedly went to the temple.
The madam is now looking for them everywhere.
"Where did you go?" The madam's voice was unpleasant. "I told you I'd take you out later, didn't you go out on your own?"
"No!" Wu Niang denied, "I... I strolled into the garden at the back. You don't believe me? Ask Ying Xia!"
She pushed the maid out.
"Milady, I just accompanied Fifth Miss to the backyard for a stroll."
The madam was still in doubt, and wanted to ask more questions. The second lady quickly walked over with a smile and said to the madam: "I just met the second lady of the Su family. I heard you were also here, and she asked me to come over and chat with you."
Madam heard it was the Su family and knew it was the Su family of Jian Ning Hou, the mother's family of that imperial concubine in the palace.
"Is Mrs. Su also coming to worship Buddha?" The big madam smiled.
——*——*——
I've been thinking about the reward and update issue since the first day. At first, I wanted to take a good rest, so I planned to put this issue aside for now. Now that I've rested enough, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. From last month's number to now, several dear friends have rewarded me with He Shi Bi, including xiuxiulian's immortal lotus (this is the highest reward I've ever received). After thinking about it, I'll add an update for one piece of He Shi Bi again. The immortal lotus is equivalent to five pieces of He Shi Bi, so I will add updates five times. Starting from tomorrow, I will gradually release the additional updates...
