Chapter 4:

Gu Suier was sitting on the sedan chair for the first time. It was bumpy all the way and felt a little nauseous. The little tadpoles in his stomach moved around, very disturbed.
She raised her hand and gently stroked the belly, the little tadpole seemed to be comforted, and then slowly fell silent.
At this moment, the horseshoe beside the sedan chair who was listening suddenly paused, and a low voice said, "Madam, if it's unwell, just say, we can slow down."
Gu Suier shook his head. After shaking his head, she realized that the person couldn't hear her, and said, "It's okay."
Hearing the voice inside, Jiang Zheng was very low and faint. He couldn't help but remember the scene of the inn that night again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
My son is not the wicked person who oppresses weak women, but by mistake, this kind of thing happened, it is also good luck.
He curled his eyebrows and said respectfully: "We will be in the county soon, and we will stop at that time, and then change the carriage and continue on the road."
Gu Suier nodded slightly, but thought in her heart, it turns out that this Hou Mansion is so far away, I don't know when I will see my parents again.
When he arrived in the county that night, Jiang Zheng went to book the only inn in the county and stayed with a group of people. In the meantime, Jiang Zheng ordered people to bring hot water and food. Now Gu Suier is very hungry. When he sees food, he ignores the rest and ate quickly.
Jiang Zheng was going to come in and tell her about tomorrow's schedule. Through the window, seeing her eating sweetly, he retired.
On the second day, the carriage was changed. The carriage was spacious and more comfortable than the oxcart in the village. Gu Suier was afraid of the tadpoles in her stomach, so she leaned on the pillow.
On this day, they didn't rest and kept on their way. Only at noon, Jiang Zheng opened the curtain, handed in a pack of warm pancakes with meat and a cup of tea, and said, "I'm wronged, my little lady."
Gu Suier was silent, took the pancake with meat, and drank tea.
After Gu Suier had finished eating, Jiang Zheng ordered to continue on his way, but this time the carriage went faster than before noon.
In this way, the carriage walked for four days before it came to one place. Gu Suier heard the excitement outside, with cries and frolics, and knew that this was a lively street. But she didn't even bother to look at it at this time, just clutching her belly and feeling the little tadpole in that belly.
In fact, when she lay flat, because of her thin belly, the tadpole was already the size of an egg, but she still liked to call it a tadpole.
The carriage did not know how long it was before it came to a place and stopped. The high courtyard wall was higher than the house in the house. The vermilion gate was hung with a black plaque. There were two large rocks beside the gate. Lion, that looks a little scary.
After entering the house, Gu Suier saw several mothers who told Gu Suier to get out of the carriage and onto a small sedan chair with green tarpaulin, and then carried in through a long corridor.
The small sedan chair is not as stable as the carriage, and the sedan curtain flickers. Gu Suier looked out through the sedan chair and saw that the house was huge, bigger than their village, and inside were houses of blue brick and red tiles with carved beams. The paintings are spectacular, and there are also flowers and plants, all blooming very well, and there is a burst of fragrance in the air.
Gu Suier had never seen this before. For her, it seemed to have entered another world.
Gu Suier felt her belly blankly, and suddenly remembered the person who bullied herself at the night in the inn. In fact, he didn't see clearly what he looked like, only remember that his eyes were deeper than the water in the Black Dragon Pond in their mountains, and he couldn't see it at all. Everyone in the village said that the Black Dragon Pond has no bottom, and it always leads to hell. No matter how good your water is, you will never get out if you fall in.
That person is the third son of the Hou Ye family.
Gu Suier couldn't help but shiver.
She touched the sedan chair window and remembered Jiang Zheng who had been riding by the carriage for the past two days. In these three or four days of work, he has been taking good care of her, always riding silently by the carriage beside her during the day.
She was afraid of this strange man in her heart, but she was far away from the familiar village and family, and came to a strange place alone. She was accustomed to the figure standing by the carriage, but she felt that she was missing that figure, and she lost support in her heart. .
Gu Suier smiled bitterly in her heart, knowing that it was all wrong, just like a little rabbit who came into a strange world and thought that the first person she saw was its relative.
Gu Suier cleared up her mood and continued to look at the house. When she was looking at it, the sedan chair turned around, entered a moon-shaped arch, passed through the corridor on the side, and continued to move forward. The scenery here is different from the previous ones. There are mountains and waters, and many trees, and there is a call to know for a while.
When the sedan chair finally stopped, it was a house that hugs the mansion, with plantains in front of the door and some other flowers and plants.
Gu Suier was helped down by a mother: "The little lady has finally arrived. Come in with me to meet the old lady."
The grandma who wore gold and silver was much better than the ones Gu Suier had seen before.
Gu Suier bowed her head and responded.
The mother helped Gu Suier into the room. Once inside, the style was completely different from before.
A large hall, standing next to a group of wives in buns and some girls who are not in buns, and an old lady in the middle.
Gu Suier glanced at the old lady, only to think that the old lady was like a queen mother in the sky, she was so dignified and shining, she lowered her head without daring to take a closer look.
Sitting in the room is the old lady of Ruiding Houfu, the aunt of the current sage, the aunt of the first emperor, and the eldest daughter of the Emperor Gaozu—Princess Shengping.
The princess Shengping was loved by the Emperor Gaozu and the Queen Gaozu, and later married the old Rui Ding Hou who worked hard and gave birth to the current Rui Ding Hou Xiao Bingzhang. Although the first emperor is no longer there, the current emperor also respects this aunt very much.
The grand princess Sheng Ping is now old, half leaning on the pillow, looking at the girl who came by.
At first glance, it was also somewhat unexpected.
I had only heard that A Heng had a girl outside, and the girl had a secretive pregnancy. She said that she would go into the house and take care of her, but she didn't expect that this girl would look so good.
The princess Shengping was born noble and pampered. She usually likes the decent girl the most. If she wants to be on the scene, she should be the one who is timid, shy, shy, and unable to speak.
But now, looking at the girl in front of her, she was obviously a little timid with her head down, but it made people feel that she was well-behaved and tender.
She smiled, beckoned, motioned to come forward, she wanted to take a closer look.
Gu Suier hurriedly stepped forward, bowed her head and stood in front of the "Queen Empress".
Princess Sheng Ping asked Gu Suier to raise her head and look carefully. Although the girl couldn't get rid of the country atmosphere, her eyes were disturbed, but she had a clear aura, and she looked at her eyebrows and looked good. , That's a good-looking, every part of this face is not delicate.
After looking at Gu Suier's belly again, she was a big one, probably five months later.
Princess Sheng Ping suddenly laughed, took Gu Suier's hand, and asked about the child in her belly.
Gu Suier came to this immortal mansion, trembling, and listened to this one hundred thousand noble old lady's question, and all answered one by one.
"Excellent. Since you are in our mansion, you can raise your baby with peace of mind. This is the lady in the mansion, Ah Heng's mother, if you have any needs, just talk to her."
Gu Suier looked over and saw a lady next to Princess Shengping. She looked very noble. Her hair was brightly combed and she wore a lot of gold and silver on her head. She had a long face, a little thin, and she looked serious. I don't like to laugh.
She thought, A Heng seemed to be the third son, the mother of the third son, should he be called a mother too?
So she whispered: "Sui'er has seen her mother."
When she said that, everyone in the room laughed, but no one said anything.
Mrs. Rui Dinghou did not smile, and nodded and said: "This time the old lady took the lead to take you into the mansion. A Heng lives in Tingzhu Garden. You can live there first. You will do everything after A Heng comes back.
Princess Sheng Ping asked Gu Sui'er a few more questions. It was nothing more than the situation at home. As she talked about the pregnancy, she inevitably asked how she lived these days, and asked an old doctor to come over to Gu Sui. Check the pulse of the child.
After the old doctor diagnosed the pulse, he deliberately asked: "Has this little lady ever eaten anything bad?"
When Grand Princess Sheng Ping heard this, she looked at Suier.
Sui'er was silent for a moment, then she understood, and whispered, "I bought an abortion pill at home and ate it. But later I vomited some."
When she said that, everyone looked at each other and was a little surprised.
This is the blood of Young Master Ah Heng. It is not easy to come by. Didn't you expect to be almost destroyed in the countryside?
Princess Sheng Ping hurriedly asked: "What happened then?"
Suier thought for a while: "There was some blood shed, not much, and then nothing happened."
I immediately asked the old doctor, and the old doctor replied: "Is the fetus in my womb weak? The little lady is too weak and needs a good health and nourishment. I will prescribe another prescription and follow this medicine three times a day. "
Princess Shengping breathed a sigh of relief, chanted Amitabha, and then asked Sui'er to say: "This is nothing short of surprises. If this little fetus is saved, it will be considered a blessing and great fate. Remember, you can't do such silly things."
Gu Suier nodded and responded in a low voice.
Here, Princess Sheng Ping asked Gu Suier again, and finally instructed Mrs. Rui Dinghou to say: "You have to remember, so you can take care of this child. She has Ah Heng's blood in her belly, so sloppy."
Mrs. Rui Dinghou respectfully said: "Mother is relieved that everything that should be prepared has been prepared."
