Chapter 40:

Outside the window, the bamboo leaves are still verdant and lovely in this autumn. In the elegantly furnished room, the woman's skin is white and clear, like the finest suet jade. She is pursing her bright red and delicate lips, her eyes radiating With a moving brilliance, the charming expression is a kind of flattery, and he took out the little shoes in his hand to show him.
Those little shoes are really thoughtful.
The very small one is small and exquisite. The round toe cap is embroidered with a naive tiger. The uppers are all tied with gold threads. The stitches are fine and the embroidery is exquisite. The tiger-headed beard They all looked lifelike.
Such a little baby's shoes are held in her white palms, and they are lovely to look at.
She must have made it with a lot of thoughts.
However, Xiao Heng's expression was particularly dull, his lips were tightly taut, his eyebrows were as barren as the snowy field in the cold winter, and his eyes were completely cold.
She was still smiling at first, but then she finally realized that something was wrong, and slowly the smile subsided, and then she began to look at him carefully.
Although he has always had no expression on his face, Gu Suier has already distinguished his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy from his unchanging face.
He is unhappy now, and he is particularly unhappy.
She bit her lip gently, and the little shoe she was holding turned into a clenched one, and slowly clenched it tightly.
Hanging his head, thinking in secret, what happened today, is there anything wrong? But after racking her brains, she couldn't understand what was wrong today, let alone what he might be upset about.
In the morning, he left. Didn't she help him tidy up his robe, she had learned how to help him dress. At that time, she put on the accessories of the pressure gown for him, and he gave her a look.
She thought that the glance he looked at her was praise her for doing well.
But now, it has only been a long time, how come I changed my face after I came back...
Gu Suier bit her lip and whispered, "San Ye, you, don't you like it?"
Xiao Heng gracefully put down the tea cup in his hand, and said indifferently, "I don't like it, but you are about to give birth. Rest a lot on weekdays. There is no need to worry about these irrelevant things."
Irrelevant... How can the tadpoles be irrelevant?
Gu Suier looked at him ignorantly, with a dazed expression.
She really didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't seem to want to say more.
She couldn't do anything, just clenched the little shoes she made rigidly in her hands and hid them in her sleeves.
These were Tadpole's shoes, but he didn't like them at all, and he didn't even want to look at them.
Gu Suier lowered her head, still holding on hard and said: "I, I just think that after the baby tadpole is born, I will put on the shoes I made by myself. Maybe I will like it more..."
But after she said this, his face didn't improve at all.
He is like a cold jade, standing in front of the window, his eyes can't get into his eyes.
Gu Suier took a deep breath and lowered her head softly: "Master, that Suier is out first."
"Yeah." He stood by the window with his hand in his hand, he didn't even look up at Gu Suier, just hummed faintly.
Gu Suier stepped back and stepped back to the door, holding the door frame and looking back.
He can only see a side face, noble and cold, handsome and unparalleled, but a little strange.
She suddenly remembered that she used to be a little maid in the inn. She couldn’t straighten her back when she was busy every day. When she looked up occasionally, she could also see the guests coming and going, both rough and noble. At that time, the guests staying in like Xiao Heng were the ones she didn't dare to even look up.
In fact, counting the past, all of this was only a few months ago. A few months ago, she was helping the kitchen in that humble inn.
Now that I have entered the Hou Mansion and become the concubine of the noble man, the ladies and young ladies in the Hou Mansion are not disgusted, and praise her, but has she forgotten what she is?
He was originally such a person, and he was originally the dust on the ground.
After thinking about it this way, Gu Suier felt much better.
She didn't say anything, bowed her head and left the study, and went back to her room.
After returning, I sat on the couch and put the little shoes in my palms to try and play. The more I looked, the more I liked it, and the more I liked it, the more sad I felt.
When he came back in the past, he wanted to touch her belly and feel the tadpoles move inside.
Now he didn't even ignore it.
It happened that she didn't understand what was going on at all, or why he wanted it.
Gu Suier picked up the little shoe, stuck it on her belly, gently stroked her belly, and whispered: "Your father doesn't like this shoe? Do you like it, tadpole, are you too? Don't like it? Don't like it, mother will do better for you, she will definitely do better..."
I don't know how long I sat here innocently and muttered to myself when Mother An came in.
Seeing that Gu Suier was not quite right, she tentatively asked, "Little madam, you feel hungry. Would you like some snacks?"
Gu Suier raised her head blankly, looked at Mother An in a daze, and then said, "No, I'm not hungry."
After all, Mother An was not at ease: "Drink some blood rice porridge first, the one that nourishes blood and nourishes qi, which has been boiled for a long time."
Gu Suier didn't seem to hear her at all, she lowered her head, touched her belly, and rubbed her little shoes.
Mother An felt that something was wrong more and more. After thinking about it, she went out and ordered the maid to prepare the blood rice porridge.
Gu Suier sat on the couch foolishly, thinking of the little tadpoles in her stomach, thinking of the little tadpoles, thinking of Xiao Heng, thinking of Xiao Heng, thinking of that night.
Later, when she got tired, she lay on her side on the couch, widening her eyes, looking at the golden tent in front of her in confusion, watching the layers of golden tents sway gently with the slight breeze outside the window lattice, shaking and shaking. She fell asleep.
In the dream, she was standing next to the official road with the sky full of yellow sand next to the inn, looking up at the front, where there was a man, a black horse in a purple robe, who was so noble and beautiful, as if a descended from the earth.
It's Xiao Heng.
She stretched out her hand hurriedly, trying to grab his robe.
Unexpectedly, he lowered his cold eyes, glanced at her with a strange look, whispered something, and rode away.
She hurriedly chased, strode hard to chase, but the dust on the official road was so dusty, she strode so hard, she couldn't catch up no matter how she ran.
She couldn't catch up, but what to do? She slumped down on the official road, but saw that she was wearing patched clothes and mud on her face, extremely humble.
"Little madam, can you wake up and use some blood rice porridge?"
Mother An's voice awakened her from her dream. She opened her eyes and looked at Mother An's worried eyes, and she didn't understand who it was for a while.
It was a long time before he remembered.
She lowered her head and touched her belly, she nodded, held it up, and used blood rice porridge.
She liked the taste in the past. The red blood rice took some time to make porridge. It was soft and sweet. I heard that it was the most blood-tonifying. She hoped to eat more to make her tadpoles grow better.
She tried to eat down, wanted to eat more, eat more, but who knows, after half a bowl of it, she felt sick and couldn't stop it, so she vomited all of it.
After vomiting, the world turned around, and the whole person didn't know that Mother An was taken aback. He hurriedly greeted the maid to wipe, change clothes and tidy up. After tossing for a long time, Gu Suier lay down.
With a long sigh, she looked at Gu Suier anxiously, but bluffed.
I saw that Gu Suier's small face was pale as if it were transparent, with both eyes looking straight at the head, completely lost the usual agility, dry, as if it could float away in the wind.
This was really frightening. He didn't dare to go out cautiously at the moment, and went to Xiao Heng's study first. Who knew Xiao Heng was not there, he had already left.
She stomped her foot: "It's amazing, there are really two shortcomings, but I have to go back to the old lady and the old lady if I am good!"
At the moment, I didn't dare to delay, so I went to the lady first, and met Wang Kaishun's house. When I said about it, Wang Kaishun didn't dare to delay.
Soon this matter went to the old lady and the old lady.
The old lady rushed over as soon as she heard it. She took a look first and looked at Gu Suier's straight eyes. She was frightened immediately, so she hurriedly invited the royal doctor.
This invitation is two people, one is the former doctor Zhuge, the other is the head doctor of the Taiyuan Hospital, the two people diagnosed the pulse of Gu Suier, a cup of tea, and acupuncture and pulse. They are even good at housekeeping. The show came, and finally made Gu Suier's breath calm.
Finally they came out, and the two people discussed it. They both believed that this was caused by excessive anger and sorrow, and they should be raised slowly. As for the fetus, it should be fine.
Only then did the old lady feel relieved, and asked the two doctors to give prescriptions, and quickly boiled the medicine.
After finishing all these tasks, the old lady finally had the time to call Mother An, "Say, what the is going on here, OK, who is angry with her? How can she be angry?"
Mother An didn’t know what was going on. She couldn’t tell why. After thinking about it for a while, she finally said:
Today, the little lady knew that San Ye was back, so she went to San Ye’s study. After she came out, it seemed like that.

When the old lady heard it, she said bitterly: "Aheng, Aheng, where are the others!"
Mother An didn't know her, since the young lady came out, the third master hasn't seen anyone.
The old lady had no choice but to order someone to search. After searching for a long time, she finally found it.
"When you talk about you, you are looking at a twenty-year-old man, why are you still so reckless? What did you say that made her so angry, do you know that she is pregnant now and will have a baby next month? Now? What if there is a long and two shortcomings?"
The old lady became more and more angry, and finally picked up a vase at hand and slammed it directly at Xiao Heng.
Jingui's vase fell on Xiao Heng's shoulder, and it shattered. The shards slid across Xiao Heng's cheek, leaving a blood stain on that handsome jade face.
Xiao Heng raised his dark eyes, his lips pressed like a thin sword.
"What's wrong with her?" His hoarse and low voice was slow and difficult.
"What can I do? You are irritated by this! This is pregnant with your child, what are you doing? How old is this, can you be a little bit like a father?!" The old lady was not angry Scolded.
Xiao Heng lifted his robe among the broken pieces of porcelain, and turned his head to go outside.
The old lady stopped him, and ordered: "You can coax me well, pregnant women can't be so angry!"
Xiao Heng paused, then walked out of the house and hurried to Gu Suier's room.
When I entered, the youngest grandmother and the second youngest grandmother were there. They looked at each other before going out. Before leaving, they said, "Speak softly. I think she has a strange disease. Don't make her feel uncomfortable."
When the grandmother and the second grandmother were gone, Xiao Heng walked to the couch, only to see the thin and weak Gu Suier lying there inside a thin gauze tent. The skin that was once white porcelain seemed to lose its luster. It was so white that it didn't have any blood, as if it were caught in the dried petals of a book page.
She lay there quietly, not even her bulging belly moved. Everything was too silent, if it weren't for the light blue blood faintly visible on her slender neck, he would think she was no longer alive.
Xiao Heng raised his hand and lifted the hazy tulle.
When the tulle was uncovered, the fear of loss gripped his heart tightly, and his breath almost stagnated.
She was so scared that she just fell asleep and couldn't wake up.
