Chapter 39:

She complained softly: "You haven't been close to me since that day."
The voice is very low and light, soft and moving, and shy in grievance.
In late autumn, the bamboo leaves are dying, and it seems to be the season of cold and cuisi.
When the wind blew through the window, I saw the shadows whirling and the dragon groaned thinly.
Xiao Heng sat on the couch in a daze, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo that I have been used to for a long time, but her soft and complaining words echoed in his ears.
She said that since that day, he has not been close to her anymore.
She wanted to be close to herself, so she shed tears when she was wronged, and she cried into tears.
She didn't know how much she cared about herself.
Xiao Heng stared at her clear jade-like cheek, watching the tears on it.
The wind shook down the bamboo leaves all over the courtyard, and Yurou was drunk in the cold late autumn. From autumn to winter, people live for only a hundred years.
In this life, who cares about him fiercely, puts him in his heart, and who can cry for him like this.
He lowered his head, his eyes were not as cold as before, staring at the aggrieved woman in his arms, and he pressed his chin gently on her black hair.
The black hair was soft and soft, as smooth as fine satin.
Closing his eyes, he murmured: "No, you think too much... The doctor said, it can't be this way."
A hoarse voice murmured in Gu Suier's ears: "It's not good for our children, I said that I would have fetal gas."
While talking, he gently touched her big belly.
A slender and soft person, occasionally showing a childish tenderness and tenderness, but he has already raised such a big belly early.
His stomach is blood.
It was the iniquity he committed and the debt he owed, and it was also the fruit he planted.
He even had an illusion at this moment that this cause and effect would be paid off slowly throughout his life.
When Gu Suier heard this, her heart moved and raised her face to look at him.
The tear-stained little face, pitiful, and more petite and charming, but the eyes were exceptionally bright and clear, with tears in them, and with a little disbelief, he looked at Xiao Heng eagerly.
Her small mouth slumped, and she really didn't believe it. The water in her eyes was squiggly, but her mouth complained softly: "Then why didn't you say that you will get fetal gas..."
Xiao Heng hugged the person in his arms, slightly pursed his lips, his eyebrows tightened, and his eyes were usually forward. After a moment of silence, he said in a dumb voice: "I also happened to meet an imperial doctor after that time. I only found out after asking."
Gu Suier listened, frowned, thought about it, raised her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him silently.
A jade-looking face was now expressionlessly taut, as if the words just said were so reluctant.
She thought about the situation he faced with the imperial doctor, thinking that such a cold and noble person would go to the imperial doctor to inquire about this kind of thing. For a while, she couldn't tell the taste, and she wanted to laugh, and she seemed to drink honey. Generally, from the mouth to the heart, it is full of sweetness.
But she secretly glanced at his strained face, still pouting her mouth, and deliberately said: "Then why are you turning your back to me... and so fierce..."
After speaking, I still felt wronged, the tears in my eyes couldn't help falling, and the people followed suit.
Xiao Heng looked at her aggrieved appearance, sullen and persisted for a while, and finally rolled out a word from his throat hoarsely and vaguely: "Let's not be an example!"
With that, he bowed his head.
In fact, since that time, he has been thinking about it.
Lying on the couch with her back facing her, but unable to touch her, was very uncomfortable.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting colder day by day, and Gu Suier's belly was getting bigger.
In September, it rained two more times. When I went out of the house, I was already wearing a cloak, or wearing a thin jacket, otherwise it would be cold.
Gu Suier was diligent, and while she was still able to move, she picked the finest soft satin material and made all kinds of small clothes, belly shoes and so on for her little tadpoles in advance. .
These things that Gu Suier made were shown to the young lady in the house. Everyone praised that Gu Suier was born with ingenuity.
Xiao Heng once saw her do these things, but said indifferently, "These are the cooks who do them."
Gu Suier didn't care about his act of pouring cold water instead of complimenting him. She still embroidered small shoes while she was still in good shape.
Although the mansion is different from the countryside, she has her own embroidered mother to do these, but the embroidered mother is an embroidered mother, and Gu Suier still hopes that the tadpole can wear the clothes made by his mother.
On this day, she just looked at the sun outside, thinking that she didn't go to the old ancestor to ask for peace because of the rain yesterday, so she asked Mother An to help herself.
In the past, Xiao Jin and the others happened to be there, and everyone was playing cards there.
Gu Suier can now play a handful of cards, but the card skills are not good and always lose.
The ancestor saw her coming over with a big belly, and said: "Why come here again, so I can rest."
The second youngest grandma watched her sit down, smiled and looked at her belly and said, "Pointy, it's a young master."
The second youngest grandmother is now pregnant again. Her first child is a daughter, and her second child is looking forward to having a son.
The eldest grandmother also smiled and said, "How long will it take to be born?"
Gu Suier went over, first worshipped the old lady and the two young grandmothers, and then replied line by line: "The doctor said that the sharp point is not necessarily the son. I can't see it now, and that it will be the next month. Be careful at ordinary times, and you can't say that you will give birth anytime."
It is now mid-September, that is to say, there is one month left.
When the old lady heard that, the corners of her eyes were filled with lines and the cards stopped playing, and she called Gu Suier to come closer.
"Come here, let me see."
Gu Suier hurried over and sat next to the old lady, letting the old lady look.
The old lady rubbed her belly and looked at her with great joy. Finally, she smiled and sighed: "It's a man or a woman. After all, it's Ah Heng's blood. He is not young anymore, and I haven't seen anything suitable yet I’m afraid I won’t be able to marry a wife for a while, and it’s good to have an heir in the room first."
There was a turmoil in the Jokhang country about twenty years ago. At that time, young men in the Jokhang country didn’t know how much they had died. Therefore, in these years, men usually get married earlier, not to mention ordinary people’s homes, that’s just the public The young masters of the Hou Mansion usually put a girl in the room when they are fifteen or sixteen. They must be married when they are seventeen or eighteen, and when Xiao Heng looks at the weak crown, it is time to have children.
After Xiao Heng was so delayed, the old lady was uneasy after all. Seeing that other children had children, she became more worried for him. Therefore, if there is a Suier in the room to feed a child first, it is a concubine, and it is better than nothing.
Hearing this, Gu Suier didn't think much about it, but still smiled docilely, but Xiao Jin next to him gave Gu Suier a secret look and didn't say a word.
She likes Gu Suier. She has a good temper and is hardworking and respectful to everyone. Who can dislike such a person.
But in the bone, of course she and Gu Suier are not the same person.
A woman like Gu Suier is afraid that she will follow the rules all her life, and she will never understand what is meant by one life and one double. Now the old lady is talking to her about the wife of the third brother in the future. She is still smiling, as if they are all It should be the same.
So Xiao Jin sighed secretly, feeling pity and sadness for Gu Suier.
Of course Gu Suier didn't know that after the third brother married a regular wife, she would have children, and she would be nothing more than that.
But of course it was just a momentary thought. After all, these have nothing to do with her. She is the majestic Ruiding Houfu eldest, and she will not be able to keep this kind of concubine in her husband's room in the future.
At this time, the old lady somehow thought of Xiao Jin, she actually said: "Next year you should also be out of the cabinet, but usually I learn from Sui'er. Others have embroidered women to make them, but they have to make their own wedding dresses. of."
When Xiao Jin heard this, her headache was suddenly ache: "Yes, ancestor, I remember this."
The young lady next to her couldn't help but smiled when she saw it, "My wife said about it a few days ago, but she wanted to go with her ancestor."
Seeing this, Xiao Jin didn't care about this, so she wanted to find an excuse to slip away, so she pulled on Gu Suier: "You didn't say before, can you help me see a flower? Go, let me go first. Right."
Gu Suier saw Xiao Jinla herself, but she couldn't say anything, so she nodded and went out.
The old lady saw through the granddaughter, but didn't say anything, just smiled and told: "You jump up and down, like a monkey, take care of Suier's belly!"
Xiao Jin answered, took Gu Suier and walked out. When Madam An saw it, she quickly followed.
The two walked out of the old lady's yard. Xiao Jin took Gu Suier to a pavilion and sat down, but she asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I have to ask you something."
Gu Suier hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Jin's eyes rolled down, and he was a little hesitant: "It was Jiang Zheng who saved my sister-in-law's life that day...Does the sister-in-law know?"
When Gu Suier heard it, she was a little surprised.
Jiang Zheng saved himself, he knew it, and later asked Xiao Heng, but he just mentioned it casually, and she didn't ask much.
She actually thought of thanking Jiang Zheng in her heart, but since then, she has never had a chance to meet Jiang Zheng, so she can only do it.
After all, Jiang Zheng was Xiao Heng's guard, she was Xiao Heng's concubine, Jiang Zheng saved herself, she thought Xiao Heng would naturally handle it properly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin would actually ask herself this now.
She hesitated, and still said, "I know this."
As soon as she spoke, she felt that Xiao Jin's expression changed slightly, her eyes locked on her, and she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law and Jiang Zheng are familiar?"
"how come……"
Gu Suier didn't understand the rules of the Hou Mansion anymore, and naturally understood that as Xiao Heng's concubine, how could he be familiar with Jiang Zheng.
"Jiang Zheng escorted her sister-in-law to Yanjing City all the way. How could the sister-in-law be unfamiliar?"
"It's an all the way, but it's not very familiar, and the Communist Party has never said a few words."
If you want to be familiar, it's more of Jiang Zheng's back.
From that Gu Jiazhuang, staring blankly ahead, towards this remote and unfamiliar place, all she saw was Jiang Zheng's back along the way.
After Jiang Zheng rescued her from the cold water, what she still saw was the silent back.
As he said, Gu Suier couldn't help looking at Xiao Jin: "What's wrong with the big girl, mention Jiang Zheng? But what's the matter?"
Xiao Jin avoided Gu Suier's gaze and smiled brightly: "It's okay, just ask casually! By the way, you can't tell anyone what I asked you about today, nor can Mother An!"
Gu Suier nodded, "Don't worry, the big girl, I won't say anything."
Xiao Jin looked at her behaved and honest when she nodded, she was really relieved, she found out that Gu Suier was a solid eye, and she could do everything that she explained.
Looking at her for a while, he laughed more and more: "Sister-in-law, in our house, you are my favorite."
After bidding farewell to Xiao Jin, Gu Suier was accompanied by Mother An back to her yard. She remembered what Xiao Jin had asked herself, and the more she thought about it, the more it felt wrong.
But she agreed to Xiao Jin's, and naturally it was not easy to ask Mother An about this matter, so she could only think about it silently.
She slowly began to feel that Xiao Jin seemed to have a relationship with Jiang Zheng, maybe it was not the relationship between an ordinary girl and the guard?
She even recalled that when she was in Guiyuan that day, Jiang Zheng was accompanied by a guard, and later by coincidence, it was also Jiang Zheng who escorted Xiao Jin to play around.
Is there anything to do with it?
She was thinking about it, but she had already arrived at Tingzhuyuan. Seeing that she had returned, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and said, "San Ye was drinking tea in the study, and I just asked about the little lady."
Hearing this, Gu Suier hurriedly said, "Then I will go over."
She was holding the small shoes made for the tadpole in her hand. They were very exquisite and gratifying. Although Xiao Heng wasn't always keen on this, she still couldn't help but want to show him.
Mother An helped into the yard, and when she reached the study, she opened the door, but saw the man standing by the window, holding a cup of tea in her hand, drinking directly from the green bamboo outside the window.
In the afternoon of autumn, the sun was warm, sprinkled in front of the window through the green screens, and reflected on the man's face like a jade sculpture.
The cold and cold face is extraordinarily elegant and noble, even the fingertips holding the snow-white tea cup look bright and clean in the sun.
Gu Suier pursed her lips and smiled, took out the shoes made for the tadpoles, and said, "San Ye, look at this."
