night.

As soon as Meng Jinyao lay down, she thought of what her second sister-in-law said, and also thought that her husband was already thirty years old this year, and there would be an heir to the title. Her mind suddenly became sensitive, and she asked abruptly: "Husband, what if I give birth to a girl?" , wouldn’t you and mother like it?”

Gu Jingxi suddenly heard her asking such a question and looked at him with some confusion: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a girl? The girl is well-behaved, but the son is too naughty and difficult to discipline."

Meng Jinyao said softly: "But your title needs an heir."

Regarding this issue, Gu Jingxi is quite open-minded: "Even if I really don't have a son, it's still fate. I am destined to have no children. As for the heir, there are many men in the Gu family, so they can always choose a good heir."

After he finished speaking, he later realized that Ayao would ask such a question. He probably heard the second sister-in-law talk about other people's family affairs, so he added: "Ayao, what about other people's families? That's their business. We It won’t be like this at home, whether you give birth to a boy or a girl, my mother and I will love it.”

The worry that had just surged up in Meng Jinyao's heart dissipated in an instant, and there was a smile on her face again. After a while, she asked again: "Husband, why do most people like boys? In fact, I think women are not bad either. I heard that I My mother is very talented and learned, and my father, as a man, is far inferior to her. If a woman can take the imperial examination, maybe my mother can also take the exam and get a good name. If she can't win the Jinshi, she can be a scholar or a scholar."

Gu Jingxi replied: "Actually, when I was young, I also discussed this issue with my husband. Without women, where would men come from? And without men, there would be no women, so why do we distinguish which is lighter and which is heavier?"

When you were young?

Meng Jinyao's face froze, and she subconsciously took a look at his face. She felt that he still looked very young, so she didn't dwell on the question and asked, "How did the gentleman answer?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Sir, he said that the trend of the times is that most people think that carrying on the family line is the top priority. If you are unable to change, you can only accept it and stick to your principles."

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Meng Jinyao's belly, and said softly: "Xiao Xuanying, as a father, you still stick to your own principles."

Meng Jinyao was surprised: "Xuan Ying?"

Gu Jingxi nodded with a smile: "Xuanying, our daughter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something gently brushing against his palm. He was stunned for an instant and moved his gaze downwards, staring at Meng Jinyao's belly. There was surprise and joy in his eyes, and an uneasy feeling surged in his heart. The pleasure of speech.

Meng Jinyao also felt it. The little guy in her belly was moving. The little guy seemed to be in a good mood. He moved for a while before regaining his composure.

A very subtle feeling spread in her heart. She stretched out her hand to cover Gu Jingxi's hand and asked calmly: "Husband, did you feel anything just now? Is it my misunderstanding? I felt the child moved."

Gu Jingxi looked up at her with a smile: "Ayao, I just called her name and she responded to me. It seems that our daughter likes this name very much. Her name is Gu Xuanying."

Meng Jinyao raised the corners of her mouth and nodded in agreement: "Yes, she is really a girl. She likes this name. When she hears the name, she will move." She pushed Gu Jingxi's hand away and gently touched her belly. , said softly, "Xiao Xuanying, will you move again?"

However, she waited for a long time and called three times, but the child ignored her and remained motionless.

She was a little frustrated and said in despair: "Husband, she ignores me."

Gu Jingxi held her in his arms and coaxed softly: "She didn't mean it. It's late at night. She must be very sleepy and fell asleep. If you talk to her again tomorrow, she will play with you."

When Meng Jinyao heard this, she was immediately coaxed and smiled again: "Husband, everyone said that daughters look like fathers. I used to think that it would be a pity if you couldn't have a daughter with your appearance. Now I finally got my wish. .”

Gu Jingxi laughed softly: "Not all daughters look like their fathers. You look like your mother-in-law."

Meng Jinyao was silent for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if you look like me. I'm pretty good-looking too."

"Ayao is good-looking." Gu Jingxi kissed her cheek, "Go to sleep. We went to Meng's house for a wedding banquet today and you didn't even get to take a nap. Go to bed early tonight."

Meng Jinyao nodded and asked again: "By the way, my father didn't tell you anything messy, right?"

Gu Jingxi said: "He didn't have the chance to say that I discuss knowledge with my peers and don't disturb the elders."

Meng Jinyao laughed out loud: "You used this trick again?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Don't be afraid of old methods, as long as they work. I think the fathers of those people are very happy for me to discuss knowledge with their sons, and I get along well with their sons. In this way, I can be regarded as indirectly helping. Two brothers-in-law greet guests of the same generation."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao also agreed quite a bit and said: "Don't worry about my father. The connections my grandfather accumulated in those years have long since faded away after his death. In addition, my father is a person who cannot hold up a wall. My grandfather's former friend would not forcefully hold the mess up, so as not to make himself dirty. Now let him do it by himself. Anyway, he has no connections, other aristocratic families look down on him, and he can't do anything. "

Gu Jingxi nodded: "I understand."

The next day.

Gu Xuanyi packed her bags last night and went to greet Mrs. Gu this morning. She explained that she was going to stay at her grandfather's house, so she took her maid and servants with her and headed to Zhang's natal home.

Mrs. Zhang was also busy listening to the steward's report on some trivial matters. After hearing these trivial matters and handling them, she learned that her daughter had left the Gu family and went to the Zhang family. Her face turned green with anger. She felt that the older the child was, the more rebellious she became.

He immediately went to complain to his two sisters-in-law, saying that his daughter was disobedient and ran away from home without saying a word to her when leaving.

Meng Jinyao was young and just listened without commenting.

Mrs. Chen has been Zhang's sister-in-law for nearly twenty years. She understands Mrs. Zhang's temperament and is not used to her: "Sister-in-law, when it comes to this, I have to talk about you. You have forced that child Xuan Yi to become a child." What's going on? People left early in the morning as if they were running for their lives. At this time, you should reflect on how you treat your children instead of blaming them for being ignorant."

"What should I reflect on?" Mrs. Zhang retorted with a look of worry, "Since I was a child, because she only has a daughter and the other two are sons, I love her very much. Still not satisfied with this?"

Mrs. Chen frowned: "Think about it carefully, what did you say to her that caused her to run away from home?"

Mrs. Zhang replied: "I, I didn't say anything."

In fact, she was trying to persuade her daughter last night to stop her temper. She will be seventeen in the new year, and she will be an old girl in two years. At that age, it will be difficult to find a marriage.

Mrs. Chen glanced at her. She looked down upon her style the most in many years. She said unceremoniously: "Do you think Xuan Ling is already a mother, so she should get married and have children? I think you want to force the child to death." , it’s not like the Gu family can’t afford to raise her. When we separate in the future, if you don’t want to raise her, then give the child to me and the second master, and we will raise her, but she will call me mother in the future, and call you to be bigger. aunt."

How could Mrs. Zhang expect that she would be so rude? He was immediately dumbfounded and looked at her in shock and amazement. His eyes seemed to say: How can you still rob a child like this?

After a moment, Ms. Zhang came back to her senses and felt aggrieved: "I did it for her own good, why did I force her to death?"

"It's not enough to talk about it. I'm going back first." Mrs. Chen was too lazy to pay attention to her, and left without looking back.

Meng Jinyao looked at Mrs. Zhang and could only comfort her: "Sister-in-law, you see Xiu Hong hasn't even gotten engaged yet. Xuan Yi is younger than Xiu Hong. Don't worry. Xuan Yi is just childish. She will come back on her own in a few days."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang felt better and waited two days before educating her children properly.

However, she was overthinking it, and Xuan Yi didn't come back for a few days. Not only did she not come back for a few days, she also went back to her cousin's parents' house to play with her, and she didn't come back for more than two months. , didn’t come back until near the Chinese New Year.
