It's a holiday.

Gu Xiuming went to Wei Ruixuan to say hello. When he arrived at Wei Ruixuan, Meng Jinyao had just had breakfast.

Meng Jinyao looked at the gentle son with a look of respect. At first glance, he was really a filial son. She secretly admired the acting skills of this cheap son. He had gotten better and better these days, so she just looked at him. , I really can’t see any flaws.

She curled her lips and smiled, with a loving motherly attitude, and said kindly: "Xiu Ming, it's still snowing and the weather is cold. You don't have to come to pay my respects during this period."

Gu Xiuming replied respectfully: "My son is deeply honored to have such a loving mother, but a mother's concern for her son is completely different from a son's desire to be filial to his mother. To pay respects to the elders, how can he not go because of the snowstorm?"

Hearing what he said, Meng Jinyao did not refuse him to come to pay his respects. Anyway, she was not the one who was hit by the north wind on the road, so she said: "You have such filial piety. As a mother, I am also happy."

Gu Xiuming asked: "Mom, why haven't you seen your father?"

Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Your father hasn't gotten up yet."

Gu Xiuming was very surprised: "At this hour, mother is already up, why hasn't father gotten up yet?"

Meng Jinyao did not hide such a trivial matter from him, and replied truthfully: "Your father has been busy with official duties recently. He came back very late last night. He didn't go to bed until after five o'clock. Do you want to see him for something? If there is something urgent, I will go and pick you up." Father shouted."

Gu Xiuming said hurriedly: "There is no need to wake up father. My son is fine. He just didn't see his father and was curious, so he asked more questions."

The mother and son exchanged pretentious greetings for a while before Gu Xiuming left.

After he left, Meng Jinyao laughed softly and murmured softly: "No matter how good your acting is, there are still flaws."

Gu Xiuming was sitting not far from her. From this distance, he could smell the smell of medicine on her body. If he were a true filial son, he would definitely care about whether she was sick. Even a fake filial son who pretended to be good would notice this problem.

However, Gu Xiuming, a fake filial son, was not aware of this problem. He was probably very disgusted when he saw her cheap mother. He was extremely disgusted in his heart, so he ignored it.

Ningdong only heard her murmuring, but could not hear clearly what she said, so he asked: "Madam, what did you say?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head: "It's nothing."

Not long after, Chunliu entered the room with a rectangular wooden box wider than a man's hand and handed it to Meng Jinyao: "Madam, this is your customized hairpin. The shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion just sent it over. Are you satisfied with it?" "

After Meng Jinyao reached out to take it, she opened the box and saw a hairpin lying inside. It was a gold and ruby ​​flower blossom hairpin. The bright ruby ​​was inlaid in the center of the petals, and the gold wire was wrapped around it. It was gorgeous and beautiful.

She picked it up and looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

There were still a few days before her friend Aning's wedding. This hairpin was custom-made by her at Jinyu Pavilion. She added it to Aning's makeup.

-

in the afternoon.

Gu Jingxi went to the study in the front yard to handle official duties. Meng Jinyao was bored. It was cold now and she didn't want to go out, so she went to the study with him.

While he was handling official duties, she was reading quietly on the side without disturbing each other.

The silver frost charcoal is burning in a copper smoker not far away. The silver frost charcoal is smokeless, unlike the thick smoky charcoal that fills the house with smoke. It is not far away and will not be smoked.

Gu Jingxi looked up inadvertently and saw that Meng Jinyao had taken off her cloak at some point, moved her chair three steps away from the copper incense furnace, sat on the chair, and studied it carefully with a book in her hand.

Seeing her demure look, Gu Jingxi pursed his lips and smiled, then continued to do his own thing.

Time passed unknowingly. Gu Jingxi put down his pen and looked up. He found that the lights had been lit in the study and it was already dusk outside.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by a familiar voice: "Master Marquis, I am a subordinate."

Meng Jinyao was already a little sleepy. When she heard this voice, she immediately cheered up and gossiped. If she remembered correctly, the person outside the door should be Yu Chuan who had been monitoring Gu Xiuming.

Gu Jingxi raised his voice and said, "Come in."

Yu Chuan immediately closed the door after he came in. When he saw Meng Jinyao was there, he was slightly startled, then he saluted respectfully to the two of them, and then went straight to the point: "Master Marquis, the prince seems to be ill."

Meng Jinyao was very surprised and asked softly: "This kid Xiu Ming came to greet me in the morning. I saw that he was in good spirits at that time. Why did he suddenly become ill when he was so good?"

Gu Jingxi looked at Yu Chuan, equally confused.

Yu Chuan glanced at the two masters. Although it was not a very important matter, he felt that it was related to the issue of heirs and he still had to tell the master, so he replied: "The prince is in trouble. I see Aunt Li letting the maid out of the house." , secretly went to the drug store to buy deer whip and pig whip and came back to make soup for the prince. She drank deer whip soup the day before yesterday and pig whip soup yesterday, but they didn't seem to have any effect. In order to take care of the prince's face, Aunt Li also I don’t know what kind of soup those are.”

After listening, Gu Jingxi frowned slightly.

Meng Jinyao found it unbelievable. The traitor was only seventeen years old after the New Year. He was not that old. The young man was in his prime of life and had no injuries or illnesses. Wasn't this okay?

Gu Jingxi said calmly: "Don't worry about this kind of thing. Keep staring at him. If he dares to do something nasty, you will stop him as soon as possible."

Yu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that even if the prince failed, he could adopt another child, and the lineage of the Marquis would not be cut off. There were many children in the Gu family, so he quickly responded: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

After Yu Chuan left, Meng Jinyao wondered: "Husband, he is still so young and his body is so weak? Could it be that he used to be lustful and empty his body?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently and said: "Before he escaped from marriage, he seemed to be of good character, clean and self-sufficient, and didn't have any maids in the house. I guess his health should be fine, but he just didn't want to."

Meng Jinyao didn't react: "What do you mean?"

Gu Jingxi explained: "Didn't he want to find a real wife for himself? If a concubine got pregnant and gave birth to a child, no good girl from a low family would dare to marry him. After all, Aunt Li is not an ordinary concubine, she is his favorite This concubine is the concubine he escaped from marriage for regardless of his family's reputation."

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "If you don't want children, isn't there a way to avoid children?"

Gu Jingxi asked back: "What if he doesn't want Aunt Li to know that he has betrayed their relationship? Since he has made plans to be together for the rest of his life, why don't he have children?"

Meng Jinyao frowned. Gu Xiuming had feelings for Aunt Li, but he couldn't be single-minded in the face of interests. Maybe he was guilty, or he was afraid that Aunt Li would make trouble, so he kept it secret until the marriage became a certainty. , let Aunt Li know that if she coaxes Aunt Li again at that time, Aunt Li will have to accept it even if she doesn't accept it.

She raised the corners of her lips with a sly smile: "He drank those tonic soups without knowing they were aphrodisiacs, so he could only hold back for a while. Speaking of which, I haven't tried what it feels like to be a grandmother. I hope Aunt Li will do it again. Work hard, make more soup, and give me a fat grandson."

Gu Jingxi choked on her words. Seeing her wilted smile, he laughed helplessly: "There will be grandsons in the future. Let's have dinner first."
