The next day.

It was almost an hour before Meng Jinyao woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jingxi sitting in front of the bed holding a book in his hand, looking at the book in his hand intently, as if he hadn't noticed that she had woken up.

The man is as gentle and elegant as jade, full of scholarly atmosphere. At first glance, it seems that this man is a serious person who is familiar with the books of sages.

However, it was not actually the case. This bad guy didn't even let pregnant women go. He thought that if he took away the book, he wouldn't be able to learn the tricks out of sight. But in the end, he used the tricks on her last night, and the tricks were still in the book.

She was feeling depressed, and when she asked what was going on, she heard the bad boy say: "Ayao, I have read that book, and I remember it because I have a good memory."

She was very upset at the time, and the bad boy said, "Ayao, I promise you won't read that book again, but I have a good memory, so you can't blame me. It's something I was born with, and it's not what I want."

What a natural sentence.

It's impossible to refute.

Now looking at Gu Jingxi, Meng Jinyao's eyes became more and more resentful.

Gu Jingxi's senses were sharp and he had already noticed a resentful gaze looking towards him. He looked sideways and met the unfriendly gaze of the little pregnant woman. He put down the book and said gently and considerately: "Ayao is awake? Wait for your husband. You get up."

Meng Jinyao had a sullen face and said quietly: "You bullied me last night, and I haven't forgiven you yet. I don't want to talk to you yet. Don't get too close to me."

Gu Jingxi was innocent and aggrieved: "It's all my husband's fault. He shouldn't have such a good memory."

Meng Jinyao: "..."

Listen!

What is this person saying? He was actually aggrieved. If you are aggrieved, you are aggrieved. Why should you praise yourself for your good memory? It's really irritating. Besides, even though he remembers some things, he doesn't necessarily have to do them. This person has to do them.

Gu Jingxi reached out to hold her hand, admitting his mistake sincerely: "Ayao, I made a mistake, please forgive me this time, okay?"

Meng Jinyao glanced at her hands, thinking of what happened last night, she quickly looked away, not wanting to look directly at her hands, not just her hands, but also her legs...

Bullying her, provoking her, and finally refusing to give her anything and letting her do it on her own, this man just lay down and took charge.

Gu Jingxi noticed her subtle expression and saw a slight blush on her cheeks. She was probably shy because of what happened last night. He said softly, "Ayao, don't be upset. I will dress you for my husband."

Meng Jinyao glared at him angrily: "Gu Jingxi, who do you think you followed your temperament? My mother wasn't like this. Could it be that you followed your father?"

Gu Jingxi said honestly: "No, my father's temperament is very different from mine."

Meng Jinyao looked at his expression of "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong", and felt depressed in her heart. This man does this every time, and every time he says "I know I was wrong, I will still dare next time".

Meng Jinyao stared at him with a nonchalant look on her face for a long time, and finally lost her temper and opened her lips and said, "I want to wear a goose-yellow skirt today, so I handed him the steps."

Gu Jingxi responded and immediately went to find a goose-yellow skirt for her. He helped her put it on personally, and asked the maid to bring water in to help her wash up. He did it himself, and combed her hair into a nice bun, finally coaxing her. Happy.

During breakfast, Gu Jingxi also took good care of her.

Meng Jinyao suddenly remembered something important and said, "Husband, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. We are going to greet my mother. I got up late. By the time I finish breakfast, it will be already late."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "It's okay. I'll ask someone to tell mother that you went to bed late last night and woke up late today, so you can't go to say hello in the morning. Mother replied, let you have a good rest, and the matter of saying hello will be done another day."

Meng Jinyao nodded and continued eating.

After breakfast, Gu Jingxi had some things to deal with, so he sent someone to send Yu Chuan over.

When he saw Yu Chuan with a bruised nose and swollen face, Gu Jingxi was stunned and asked: "Yu Chuan, you were fine yesterday. Who did you fight with to get like this? To be beaten like this, it shows that you are not good at this skill and you need to practice hard." Practice, and compete with Zhou Yun more in the future."

Yu Chuan's face paled. Thinking of the embarrassing incident last night, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly argued: "Master Hou, I didn't fight with anyone. I accidentally fell down."

Gu Jingxi didn't believe a word he said. After a moment, he thought of a possibility and laughed instantly. He joked with a smile: "Then you fell very skillfully. Those who don't know would have thought you fell into someone's fist. Most people can't fall like you."

Yu Chuan: "..."

Gu Jingxi said again: "Okay, you go back and recuperate first. It's quite pitiful to fall like this."

Yu Chuan was at a loss: "Master Marquis, don't you have something to ask me to do? I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. If you have anything to do, just ask me, and I will definitely do it for you."

Gu Jingxi looked at his face and asked, "When you go out with a bruised nose and face, are you going to help me with errands, or are you going to embarrass me?"

Yu Chuan: "..."

Gu Jingxi said: "Go and call Zhou Yun over."

Yu Chuan wanted to say that it was not impossible for him to cover his face and go out, but in the end he didn't say it and said "yes", then left and went to find Zhou Yun.

-

News came from the Liu family that Gu Xuanling gave birth to a daughter yesterday evening and that the mother and daughter were safe.

This is also a happy event, the Gu family has a granddaughter.

Tomorrow is the wedding banquet for the eldest granddaughter of the Liu family. Mrs. Gu will not be present, but she has also prepared a gift. Mrs. Zhang and Meng Jinyao have also prepared it and will have it delivered tomorrow.

Gu Xuanling was born as a concubine, so Chen, as the legitimate mother, did not have to go to the child's baptism banquet, but Chen said that she would go to the baptismal banquet tomorrow.

Meng Jinyao, Zhang and Chen talked about this matter while sitting together.

After Mrs. Zhang learned that Mrs. Chen would attend the baptism banquet for the concubine's child tomorrow, she smiled and said, "Second brother and sister, Xuan Ling is not your biological daughter, and the child she gave birth to is not your biological granddaughter. I will send someone to give one away tomorrow." The gift is enough, is there any need to praise her like this?"

Chen's idea is different. Her son-in-law, Liu Zifang, has now won the imperial examination. He might be able to win the Jinshi next spring. After Liu Zifang enters the court and becomes an official, her son will have many people to help each other. Now the relationship between the two families can be maintained. The points are always correct.

Taking a step back, even if Liu Zifang fails to win the Jinshi in the future, it doesn't matter. Xuan Ling is the child she has raised for more than ten years, and she is usually filial to her. Now she is willing to give Xuan Ling face, support Xuan Ling, and let the Liu family also Pay more attention to Xuan Ling.

She replied: "Even though Xuan Ling is not my biological child, she has still called me mother for more than ten years."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was a little disdainful: "A child born to a concubine, her biological mother was born as a maid, so only the second younger brother and sister are kind-hearted and willing to promote her."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chen's face became ugly. Although she was born in a famous family and her natal family was the same as the Gu family, she was also a concubine. Mrs. Zhang's disdain for the concubine meant that she was also disdainful of her. Maybe she was just taking advantage of it. In order to slander Xuan Ling, he also slandered her.

She replied in a displeased tone: "Sister-in-law, don't forget that the eldest brother and our second master were both born from concubines. If you look down on concubines so much, doesn't that mean you also look down on eldest brother?"
