Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

A night of pleasure.

Gu Xiling put all the questions she wanted to ask Zhou Jin behind her.

When he woke up the next morning, Zhou Jin had already gone to work in the government office.

Gu Xiling rubbed her aching waist and gritted her teeth. If anyone said that Zhou Jin was a weak scholar again, she would be the first to refute it.

Xiufang smiled secretly and prepared clothes for Gu Xiling, "Madam, breakfast is ready. Please wash up quickly. You have to pay your respects to the old lady and the good marquis later!"

Gu Xiling nodded, "Give me a hand."

Xiufang chuckled, "Yes."

The prince asked for water three times during the night and he felt relieved.

First go and pay your respects to your grandmother and mother-in-law, and then play with your brother-in-law. He is such a handsome child, and he is so lovable!

Song asked, "Jin'er was in a hurry yesterday. What happened?"

Gu Xiling replied: "My husband said that there has been progress in the matter of Honglianfang, and there should be a result soon."

Song heard this and said, "That's good. When Jin'er goes out, be sure to bring more people with you. The capital may seem peaceful, but it is actually a time of trouble."

"Yes!" Gu Xiling agreed, "Don't worry, mother. Xiling will keep it in mind."

Gu Xiling left her mother-in-law and went to Xiulan.

After walking around, she began to deal with the chores in the house.

Just as I sat down, Xiufang came to report, "Madam, Miss Yunshu from the Jingyang Marquis's mansion is here."

Gu Xiling was surprised, "Why is Yunshu here? Let her in quickly."

After a while, Xiufang brought Gu Yunshu over.

"Yunshu pays his respects to Second Aunt." Gu Yunshu bowed politely, very formally and gracefully.

Gu Xiling stood up and helped Gu Yunshu up personally.

The last time they went hiking, Gu Xiling liked this niece very much. She was a nice girl and not pretentious.

"No need to be polite!" Gu Xiling asked, "Yun Shu, how come you have time to come here today?"

Gu Yunshu took out the invitation from her sleeve and said, "Second aunt, it will be Yunshu's birthday in seven days. I will personally invite you to attend the birthday party."

"It's Yunshu's birthday. Look at my brain. I forget such an important thing day by day." Gu Xiling looked at the graceful Gu Yunshu. She really looked like her. It's true that niece resembles aunt. "I accepted it and will definitely come when the time comes. By the way, who else did you invite?"

Gu Yunshu replied, "Mother said that we don't need to have a big party, just a family dinner, and it will be fine if my second aunt comes, there is no need to mobilize a large number of people. I just went to my eldest aunt's house, and she is in mourning. Although I can't go, Yunshu still wants to let her know."

Gu Xiling nodded, "I should say. How is your aunt now?"

Gu Xirong was in mourning. Gu Xiling had not seen Gu Xirong since the old lady of the Xie family was buried.

Gu Yunshu replied: "My second aunt, my eldest aunt is looking good now and is already pregnant. Mother said that in a few months, she will have a little cousin."

"That's good." Gu Xiling nodded. "It's rare for you to come to the Marquis' Mansion. I'll take you to pay your respects to the old lady and the Marquis' wife."

Gu Yunshu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Second Aunt."

Gu Yunshu paid his respects to the old lady and presented her with a dark green pine and crane headband.

Although it was not embroidered by Gu Yunshu herself, it was quite delicate and showed the thoughtfulness.

The old lady was very generous. Whenever there were younger generations coming to her house, she would never let them go empty-handed, not to mention that Gu Yunshu also gave the old lady a gift.

The old lady immediately gave Gu Yunshu a pink and emerald necklace in return, which was just right for her age.

The old lady only has one son, and now has two grandsons but no granddaughter. She likes a little girl like Gu Yunshu very much.

Especially since Gu Yunshu is somewhat similar to Gu Xiling, the old lady of Marquis Changning likes Gu Yunshu even more.

"Come often in the future." The old lady of Marquis Changning said with a smile.

"Thank you, old lady!" Gu Yunshu felt the old lady's kindness and was very grateful.

When Gu Xiling brought Gu Yunshu to the Song family.

Gu Yunshu not only prepared a pair of exquisite little finger armor for Song, but also prepared a colorful windmill for the child.

The child looks at the windmill to exercise his eyes and make them more lively.

The brother-in-law not only looked at it, but also wanted to grab it with his little hands!

Song was even more stingy. Since she didn't have a daughter, she had more jewelry in the warehouse than she could use up.

Although a lot was given to Gu Xiling, there is still more.

She had no daughter, so she wouldn't have to prepare a dowry for her daughter in the future. She only hoped that Gu Xiling would give birth to more children in the future so that she would have grandsons and granddaughters, so that her private treasury could come in handy.

Song gave Gu Yunshu a pearl hairnet, which not only had pearls on it, but also small bells, which was especially suitable for little girls.

Gu Yunshu liked it very much.

Song asked, "Yunshu, what do you usually do at home?"

Gu Yunshu replied crisply, "Madam Hou, my sister and I usually follow a female teacher to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Mother said that my second aunt is in good health because of martial arts practice, and she hired a female escort for my sister and me to practice martial arts."

Song's eyes lit up, "Oh, a little girl practicing martial arts, this is rare!"

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "Yun Shu, show me how to practice. I can give you some pointers."

Gu Yunshu said calmly, "Then Yunshu is showing off!"

Gu Yunshu's boxing and kicking skills were immature, but they were quite good. "Aunt, please evaluate them."

Gu Xiling chuckled, "Practice twice a day, it's enough to strengthen your body! But before practicing, it's best to jog around the yard a few times to loosen up your muscles and bones to prevent injuries."

"Thank you, auntie. The female teacher also asked us to do this." Gu Yunshu was a little out of breath. He felt a little tired after throwing a set of punches.

Still, that's pretty good.

In the past, I would be out of breath after walking a few steps.

Song looked at Gu Yunshu's rosy little face and liked her even more. "Well practiced, you will be like your second aunt in the future, so amazing."

Gu Yunshu raised her little face and said, "My mother said that my second aunt is so smart and clever because of her martial arts training. I want to learn too."

Gu Xiling was very pleased to hear her niece's praise.

At noon, the old lady and Song hosted a banquet for Gu Yunshu, and they did not neglect her just because she was a young girl.

In the afternoon, he even asked the guards and stewards of his family to personally escort him back to the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion before returning.

Gu Yunshu returned home and told his mother Qin in vivid detail what happened in Changning Marquis' Mansion.

When Qin saw these return gifts, she couldn't help but be amazed. Unlike the superficial appearance of Jingyang Marquis's Mansion, Changning Marquis's Mansion was really rich and noble!

"It seems that the old lady and the Marquis' wife like you very much. When you are free in the future, go to the Marquis' Mansion often." Qin said, "When you are there, you should be polite and lively at the same time. That's what you like the most."

Gu Yunshu nodded, "Just like my second aunt, mother, didn't you see that my second aunt smiled cutely and spoke nicely in front of the old lady and the marquis' wife? It's not like when she was in Jingyang Marquis's mansion at all."

Qin touched Gu Yunshu's head and said, "At that time, your second aunt was obviously the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but because of the neglect of your grandparents, she grew up in the countryside. Even when she came to the city, they were more concerned about your eldest aunt and neglected your second aunt."

"If she doesn't fight or make a fuss, she will be bullied. There is a reason for this. Now that your second aunt has arrived at the Changning Marquis's Mansion, she doesn't have to fight or compete. She is loved by her elders and doted on by her husband. Naturally, it's great."

"You must be obedient in the future. When looking for a husband, don't look for those who are slick-tongued. Look for those who are down-to-earth. Also, look for one who is reasonable. If you have a mother-in-law like your eldest aunt, you will suffer the same pain as your eldest aunt did."
