The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

A month passed and Master Jiang Wu had not returned to Beijing yet.

Gu Jinchu stayed in Daxing with his two children and never returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

We can't let Madam Jiang bring it up first, as that would make her, the daughter-in-law, seem too spoiled and arrogant.

Although Zheng Mudan was reluctant to let her daughter go, she was very grateful that she could stay with her for so long. In the unbearable hot summer, she was very satisfied to accompany her during the confinement period.

"Why are you still the same as when we were little, doing whatever you say?" Zheng Mudan asked two wet nurses to hold the children and follow her daughter back to the east courtyard.

Seeing that she had packed everything, he sighed, "It's not too late to leave tomorrow..."

Gu Jinchu took his mother's arm and said with a smile, "It only takes an hour to drive from Daxing to Gu'an. The children can get there after a nap."

It is early autumn now and the weather is not as hot as when we came here, so there is no need to travel early in the morning.

The children all wore thin shirts over their bellybands, and looked much older than when they left the Jiang family.

Zheng Mudan sighed and took her daughter's hand: "When Changshun and Chang'an are 100 days old, if you and your son-in-law have time, bring Nuonuo and Tuanzi back."

Chu Jie'er had a mother-in-law above her, and she was not the head of the family. Zheng Mudan was reluctant to let her daughter and two grandchildren go back to her husband's house.

As for the hundred-day banquets for her two sons, it depends on the schedule of her daughter and son-in-law. She will not force them in her words or attitude.

Zheng Mudan asked the housekeeper to bring over the things that had been prepared for the children early in the morning.

Not long after, a young man in a flying fish suit came along with the carriage.

He bowed to Zheng Mudan and Gu Jinchu and explained that it was Qin Lang's men who stayed at home. Even Zheng Mudan only learned about this today.

When Gu Jin first came, he brought a car full of things, and on his return trip, he brought back at least double the amount.

The two children in the carriage were playing with and wearing clothes that could not fit in the carriage.

Qin Lang arranged a Jinyiwei named Xu Hui under his command to help Gu Jinchu deliver the things back to the Jiang family in Gu'an, but in fact he was escorting the three of them along the way.

The wet nurse carried the children into the carriage. Gu Jinchu turned around, smiled at his mother, and then stepped into the carriage.

After sitting firmly, Gu Jinchu lifted the curtain of the carriage. Looking at his mother below, he said loudly:

"Mom, please go back soon. You have just finished your confinement period, so you should take care of yourself. I will come to see you again after my brothers' hundred-day banquet."

Zheng Mudan nodded and watched the green-curtained carriage with the logo of Duke Dingguo's Mansion drive out of the Qin family.

Daxing is located at the foot of the emperor and is much more prosperous and lively than Gu'an.

Nuonuo and Tuanzi were held in their wet nurse's arms. The street vendors and the scenery along the way all attracted their attention.

Bai Zhi wanted to raise her hand to lower the curtain to prevent the sunlight outside from blinding the young master's eyes, but Bai Shao hurriedly stopped her when she saw this.

"I'll do it... I'll do it! You are very precious right now, just tell me what to do." Bai Shao stood up with the help of the carriage, raised her hand to loosen the curtain straps, and her mouth was not idle:

"After you give birth, I will be the child's godmother. When I am away from home, I have to take care of you in addition to the lady and the two young masters."

Bai Shao has always been a chatterbox. Living in the Qin family these days, she seems to have returned to the happy times of her childhood.

It’s just that the young ladies and friends from my childhood have all become mothers now.

Bai Zhi helped her sit down and promised her, "Okay, okay, you are the child's godmother, remember to prepare a big and thick red envelope."

Bai Shao opened her eyes wide and patted her body nonchalantly.

Madam was generous even before she got married, and she had accumulated a lot of good things over the years. She had no family, so naturally she had no source of income, and all the money she got went into her little treasury.

Gu Jinchu held the child in his arms and watched the two maids laughing and playing with a smile.

They grew up together, and it was they who accompanied her when she moved from Gu's home to her maternal grandparents' home.

Chatting all the way to kill the boring time.

It is a rare fate that we can be together for such a long time in the future.

Seeing that the two young masters had fallen asleep, Bai Zhi whispered, "Madam, the next step is the Jinsu dessert bureau."

Gu Jinchu hummed softly, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, "Ask the driver to park the carriage at the corner gate."

The streets were crowded with people, and the two carriages parked in front of the shop were conspicuous. She didn't want to cause any trouble this time.

The green-curtained carriage moved slowly along the path, and soon drove into a long and narrow alley.

On the other side of the street, a window on the second floor was wide open. A man standing by the window was looking over here with interest.

His eyes followed closely the green-curtained carriage with the logo of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

The bearded man standing next to him said in a rough voice, "Third Master, the second batch of grain has been shipped to Henan... The shipping is in the hands of the Zheng family. Aren't you afraid that people will know who is behind the Chamber of Commerce?"

"The news that Concubine Zhen is pregnant will probably be known soon." Chen Zhengde watched the green-curtained carriage disappear from his sight, a smile showing on his square face.

"That will be the prince's support in the future..." He turned around and asked Cao Haibin beside him: "Do you still remember the Zhou family?"

Cao Haibin scratched his hair. "The Zhou family that Third Master is talking about is Zhao Xu's family, the family of Concubine Jing?"

Chen Zhengde's eyes fell on the bustling Wudaofang, his tone was filled with regret, and also seemed to be gloating:

"The Zhou family originally held a very good hand, but unfortunately, it was all ruined by the jealous empress in the palace."

He snorted coldly: "It's such a pity... Otherwise, how could the late emperor have found this unromantic little monk?"

Cao Haibin grinned and said, "But we also have to thank Concubine Jing, otherwise we don't know how long we will have to stay dormant in Ningyuan City!"

As they spoke, Chen Zhengde and his servant showed no respect at all for Emperor Jianming who was sitting on the dragon throne.

After receiving the news, Tao Xuelin and Sun Haiyang came early to wait.

The two people were standing in the yard. They heard the sound of horse hooves outside and the voices of servants paying their respects, and they knew that the lady was coming.

After Gu Jinchu entered the room, the two of them stood at the stone steps in the courtyard and bowed to greet him.

The lady gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for the Fifth Master. It was the first time for everyone to see the two little masters.

Unfortunately, the two children fell asleep in their nurse's arms.

Gu Jinchu asked people to settle the wet nurse and the children, and talked with the two shopkeepers in the main room.

"I asked Shopkeeper Tao and Shopkeeper Sun to come here today so that you can make arrangements for the people below."

She is currently in charge of the private property of the Fifth Master. Tao Xuelin and Sun Haiyang are considered her two major stewards, responsible for her and the Fifth Master's private property respectively.

Whenever there was something, she would tell them directly, and then they would pass it on and make arrangements one by one.

"The Yellow River Basin is flooded right now, and the victims are suffering. I plan to hold a seven-day charity sale of all my shops and businesses starting tomorrow..."
