Chapter 18
Chapter 18
"Hmph, my husband only likes me, so he is reluctant to give me away. I still have my husband's baby."
The fourth prince looked at Gu Nian in surprise, Gu Nian raised his head, met the gaze of the fourth prince, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
The fourth prince raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the table, lowered his head and drank the tea, "No, it's all right."
Gu Nian didn't bother to pay attention to the fourth prince's inexplicability, put Liu Mian in his arms and got into the carriage that had been prepared earlier, and took him back home.
I still put my baby under my nose and put it elsewhere. Even if I am very sure that it is safe and sound, I will still feel anxious and worried.
Li Ji'an returned to the backyard, sat on a chair and thought about things, frowning.A very beautiful brother, with a very gentle temperament around him, walked behind Li Ji'an and massaged Li Ji'an's head.
If Liu Mian was there, he would be able to recognize that this brother was the uncle who had been with him all the time.
"You have worked hard these few days."
Like his person, Wen Ran's voice was extremely gentle, "Liu Mian is very cute and takes good care of him. He is not tired at all. I like him very much. Is your head better?"
Li Ji'an stopped Wen Ran from continuing to massage, "If you have anything to do, let the servants do it, don't get tired, you are weak."
"Well, don't worry, I'm much better now."
Li Ji'an thought of Gu Nian and Liu Mian getting along, and some thoughts flashed in his eyes.
……
"Husband, people in Li's house say that men who are too tight are easily bored, and beauty can only be produced by keeping a distance." Liu Mian looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what he meant, but no matter what, he only cared about one thing. One thing, "Husband, I'm so clingy to you, will you get tired of me?"
"I... like you sticking to me." Gu Nian stared at the ledger on the table with the same expression, as if checking the ledger seriously.If you look carefully, you will find that it is a checked account book, and it is the bottom page.
"I also like to cling to my husband."
Liu Mian gave birth to a boy, and Gu Nian still had lingering fears recalling the scene at that time.
He was drinking porridge with Liu Mian when Liu Mian suddenly felt a pain in his stomach while holding Liu Mian. Even though he had prepared before and rehearsed the process several times in his heart, Gu Nian seemed to be stupid at the time, his mind was blank, holding Liu Mian Mian was at a loss.
The child was in the swaddle, a small red ball, with a wrinkled face, like a little monkey, very ugly.
Liu Mian was pale on the bed, her eyes were full of joy, "Husband, is the baby good-looking?"
Gu Nian praised very against his will: "It looks good, it's very pretty." Gu Nian brushed Liu Mian's sweaty hair behind her ears, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll watch you and the baby here."
Liu Mian responded and fell asleep.
Gu Nian had never raised a child before, so she took the parenting book and read it carefully, comparing the content in the book to take care of the child.Then I remembered the widely circulated sentence, "The first child is raised according to the book, and the second child is raised according to the pig." '
Gu Nian didn't hold a banquet with much fanfare. Firstly, his identity is not obvious now, and he doesn't have many friends on the surface. Secondly, if a brother gave birth, even if he invites others, others will only think that Gu Nian is insulting them. Gu Nian would be humiliating himself by doing so.
Gu Nian didn't do anything about it.Shen Ansu made an appointment with a few confidants to give gifts, and Gu Nian also set up a few small tables at home.
Li Ji'an also sent a gift, watching Gu Nian hesitate to speak.
"Why, what do you want to say?"
"Why did you let a brother bear a child for you?"
Gu Nian was drinking tea, because he had to take care of the children, and he always smelled bad, "No?"
"No, you also know that other people's contempt for my brother, even you..."
"What do they think is none of my business? Is Brother Li such a superficial person who cares about outside opinions?"
"Liu Mian is not considered stunning, and there are many people who are more beautiful and talented than him. Why do you spoil him wholeheartedly?"
Gu Nian looked at Li Ji'an with a half-smile, "I don't see Brother Li, but he also has a curious girlish feeling."
Li Ji'an coughed, "I made you laugh." Li Ji'an shook the cup in his hand and fell into his own thoughts.
Gu Nian didn't bother, and ate her own food.
"My mother and concubine died of illness when I was a child. She was not favored, and I, an unfavored prince, was even ignored. Who would have thought that a prince would almost starve to death in the palace."
"It was also at that time that I met Wen Ran, a man my father didn't favor, who secretly took care of me, treated me as his own child, and depended on me for life."
Li Ji'an stared at the void, "He planted sweet potatoes in the cold palace, and when the court ladies and eunuchs forgot to bring us food, he baked sweet potatoes and ate them with me. I hated and disliked him very much at first, and thought he would be dirty if touched Yes, but it is such a person that I can live to this day. I gradually walked before the emperor, and after I became an adult, I was assigned a mansion."
I don't know if the baby has slept or if Liu Mian has eaten. If the baby makes trouble with him, Liu Mian will definitely not be able to eat well.The family invited a nurse and prepared two ewes that had just given birth. I wonder if there is enough food for the babies. Should I find another cow?But milk can cause indigestion, and the baby may not have the lactase enzyme that can digest milk.Thinking of this crop, Gu Nian was startled. Goat milk is also animal milk, and there should be lactose in it. If cow's milk can't be digested, goat's milk shouldn't work either, right?
Li Ji'an recalled the past for a long time, but Gu Nian didn't think about it at all.
Gu Nian didn't pay attention to what Li Ji'an asked, and said solemnly: "There is nothing in the world, and nothing is disturbing."
Li Ji'an thought carefully for a while, and suddenly realized, "I knew you were beyond the reach of others. You have a lot of transparency and open-mindedness, and I admire you."
Gu Nian didn't know why, but she still nodded with an inscrutable expression.
After Li Ji'an figured it out, the shackles that had been entangled in his heart disappeared, and he got up to leave.
Gu Nian sent it to the door, and returned to the room after Li Ji'an left.
Gu Nian named the baby Gu Ze, and Liu Mian handed the sleeping Gu Ze to the nanny to take care of, and took a bath to clean himself.Looking at her belly, Liu Mian curled her lips. Even if she recovers well, it won't be as tight as before the baby. There is a circle of loose flesh on the belly, and my husband will definitely find it disgusting.
When Gu Nian returned to the room, he saw that the sand tent had been put down on the bed, and Liu Mian could be vaguely seen lying on the bed.Liu Mian's obvious invitation to Gu Nian could not fail to see it.
While biting a spot on Liu Mian's chest, Gu Nian suddenly remembered something, raised his head, poked that spot with his hand, and asked, "Will there be milk?"
Liu Mian's whole body was on fire, and she whispered in a trembling voice, "No, no."
Gu Nian couldn't tell whether it was luck or disappointment.
Li Ji'an finally became the emperor. In modern terms, it was the biggest upset.
Gu Nian thought, the emperor should be afraid of his family's relatives, so the weakness of Li Ji'an's mother's family is also a big plus point.Li Ji'an usually doesn't show his face, and always pretends to be a pig and eat a tiger.
When those princes were fighting in full swing, what he did every day was to hang out in brothels and Chuguan, having a flirtatious life, but he didn't know his plans behind the scenes and fueled the flames.
A princess saw Gu Nian in the palace, fell in love with his appearance, and secretly asked the servant girl to find out who Gu Nian was.
Gu Nian is young, promising and clean. The backyard is very clean. There is only one elder brother. It is said that this family took in the troubled Gu Nian. Gu Nian took this elder brother to repay his kindness.
The more the princess knows, the more tempted she is. She is affectionate, righteous, motivated and hardworking, and she is more than a little bit better than those dudes in the aristocratic families.
Although Gu Nian's status is not as high as her family's, it is precisely because of this that Gu Nian will not take concubines.The princess convinced her parents, and her mother also believed that power and status were not as good as her own happiness, and with their help, it would not be difficult for Gu Nian to rise to the top.
Li Ji'an and Gu Nian are just a cooperative relationship. After all, the emperor is suspicious. With such a talent, he doesn't want to send it to others.
The princess' father is his confidant, if it is related by in-laws, Gu Nian is really tied to his power, so he is happy to see it succeed.
Li Ji'an sent someone to reveal something to Gu Nian.If Gu Nian is smart and upright, he will definitely prepare a dowry and invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.
Liu Mian was sensitive to the sound of the wind, and the corners of her mouth were pulled upwards stiffly, trying to make a smile, but her eyes seemed to cry, filled with small sorrows, "Husband, I want to stay here, a small room That's enough, I will take good care of my husband and princess."
"unnecessary."
Liu Mian froze, "I won't disturb the princess if I don't go out of the courtyard, can my husband come and see Ozawa?"
Gu Nian looked at the man full of despair and sadness, dumbfounded, hugged him and put it in his arms, pinched his face, "What are you thinking about, I said I don't need you, it's that I don't need you to serve me and the princess." See Seeing the light in Liu Mian's eyes go out again, he scratched Liu Mian's nose with his index finger angrily, "I'm really confused by your anger," Liu Mian lowered his head and leaned on Gu Nian's chest, "I'm not angry with you, I was wrong .Damn it! I mean, I don't want to marry the princess, so don't listen to other people's nonsense."
"The princess is a virtuous and virtuous princess, with both good looks and talent, and quite a reputation." Liu Mian said in a low tone, with a hint of jealousy and inferiority that were not easy to detect.No matter in terms of background, status, appearance or talent, he can't compare to that famous princess. Husband will like that princess. They must be a good match. Only such a woman is worthy of husband.
"What's the matter? It has nothing to do with me. I only like Mian'er."
"My husband and I seem to be more compatible." The jealousy and inferiority just now are like snowflakes under the scorching sun. It has nothing to do with them, and the husband only likes him.
The former second prince was suppressed by Li Ji'an badly. For Li Ji'an, it was more beneficial to win over Gu Nian than to suppress Gu Nian. Gu Nian was confident enough that Li Ji'an could not touch him.His industry holds the lifeline of the economy. If he has an accident, the foundation of the country will be touched if he is not careful, and the economy will cause chaos.
Gu Nian registered Liu Mian as his wife.
Liu Mian was very nervous, his biggest dream was to be Gu Nian's pamper all the time, but he was suddenly put in the right position, and his head was dazed, "Husband, I, I can't be a real husband, I heard that I need a housekeeper or something, I can do nothing!"
"The affairs of the mansion are managed by Shen Ansu, and he manages the transfer of maids and servants and finances. As for you, just be in charge of the backyard."
"But, there are only me and my husband in the backyard."
"So, just take care of yourself and me, and the baby, can you do it?"
"Yes, Mian'er will do well." Liu Mian assured by straightening her back.
Gu Nian was invited to visit the palace on the mountain, and the team was full of people. When they reached halfway up, the mountain road was narrow and the sedan chairs were not allowed to pass, so they could only walk on foot.It was okay at the beginning, but the family members who gradually followed couldn't keep up with the team.Xie Hao's two wives and concubines were supported by the servant girl, taunting them openly and secretly, and the verbal battle was so exciting.
The daughter of the prime minister's family just pissed off and refused to leave.The prime minister stared at him, he couldn't bear to beat him, he couldn't bear to scold him, he could only be laughed at by the people around him.
Liu Mian beside him walked more and more slowly, and gradually the weight was leaning on him. "Can't walk anymore?"
"Husband, my legs are sore."
Gu Nian was carrying Liu Mian on his back, and the person on his back was still shaking, trying to jump off. "Husband, Mian'er can go on her own, Husband is tired."
"Stay well, we'll be there in a while."
Liu Mian took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from Gu Nian's hair distressedly, then fanned the wind with the handkerchief, put her face next to Gu Nian, and hummed softly.Feeling that the sun was too strong, he raised his wide sleeves to cover the sun above their heads.
Gu Nian couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't move around, be safe, and be careful not to fall."
Liu Mian didn't take it seriously, "My husband won't let me fall."
The two of them didn't know that they had become the scenery in the eyes of others at the moment.
"Look at Liu Mian, she is also held in the palm of her hand and pampered, and she has never been spoiled. She is not as fierce and willful as you, and is unreasonable."
Xie Hao's wife looked at the two with complicated eyes, "That means he doesn't need to do anything to get what he wants, and he has someone to protect him. If I hadn't been fierce, I would have been gnawed to the brim. "
"You don't like my scheming, Chengfu, not as pure and clear as the one from Gu Nian's family, but have you ever thought about it, he doesn't need scheming, he can get what he wants, and the thoughts he wants will be delivered to him. If I don't So, do you think I can still live safely in the deep house? Can my children live safely until now? You say that I am no longer flawless at first, but have you ever thought that I have become like this? Is it your fault or mine."
The family members gradually quieted down. The wives and concubines of those noble families looked at the two people not far away, and suddenly lost the interest in tit-for-tat in the past, and they didn't want the favor that they had fought for step by step.Some are jealous of Liu Mian, which has nothing to do with feelings.
There are many hot springs on the mountain. I happened to come across one while walking in the evening.Liu Mian's legs rubbed against Gu Nian from time to time, and Gu Nian grabbed the hands that were groping on his body, "Mian'er, don't make trouble."
"Husband, don't you want it? Let's try it in the hot spring, shall we?"
"There is a hot spring at home, this is outside, we'll do it when we get home." Gu Nian was worried that he would get dizzy after soaking for a long time, so he pulled Liu Mian out after a long soak.When she came out, Liu Mian was still exhausted, and she didn't want to move lazily.
Liu Mian was in Gu Nian's arms, feeling drowsy comfortably while walking and shaking.
Occasionally, people who passed by saw the state of the two of them, and gave Gu Nian a wretched thumbs up, "Brother is very skilled."
Gu Nian didn't bother to pay attention to this person, after a day of exhaustion, it's better to go back early to rest.
Gu Nian and Liu Mian now have three children, the eldest and second are boys, the second is Gu Xuan, the third is a younger brother, Gu Qing, and Gu Nianquan treats him like a daughter.
"Gu Nian, we invited you and you never came, so we came here to invite you in person."
Gu Nian was sitting on the couch in the courtyard, with a child sitting with his right arm bent. The white and tender child had a silly smile on his face, holding a strand of Gu Nian's hair in his hand, and was having a great time playing. The little boy with legs climbing up laughed and applauded.One leg of the little boy was already on Gu Nian's lap. The sole of his foot slipped and he almost fell to the ground. Gu Nian grabbed his arms and sat on the couch. On Gu Nian's lap, nestled in Gu Nian's arms and started playing.
Seeing that they settled down, Gu Nian had time to glance at the visitor.A good friend Gu Nian made was the second son of a minister's family.
"I said what are you busy with, it turns out that you are busy being a loving father."
"Hello, Uncle." Xiaoxuan on his lap smiled slyly and said hello sweetly.
Gu Qing also followed his brother and said, "Susu."
"It's uncle, not Susu."
"Since they are all called uncles, I can't come empty-handed." The second young master took off two bracelets from his wrists. The beads on them were round and clear, and brought them in front of Lu Qing. Gu Qing turned around and pointed his butt towards the second young master. , put his face on Gu Nian's neck, Xiaoxuan looked at Gu Nian, waiting for his intention.
"Thank you uncle." Gu Nian rubbed Xiaoxuan's head a few times to signal him to thank him, and Xiaoxuan accepted it with a smile.
Gu Nian took the bracelet, and felt the warmth of the beads, carrying a sense of warmth.Gu Nian brought the bracelet to Lu Qing's chubby wrist, and Gu Qing gnawed on it, with a little saliva on his face, Xiao Xuan was not far behind, and kissed the other side of his face.
The second son was really jealous, and said dissatisfiedly, "This is a gift from me, it's really a discrimination."
"Husband, Ze'er has been a little strange recently."
Gu Nian put down the business in hand, and took over the soup bowl that Liu Mian was holding, "How do you say it?"
"I was very excited when I went out, and I was out of my mind when I was eating. I called him several times before I heard him. He was not in a daze before, but now he laughs inexplicably."
Gu Nian drank the porridge silently.
"It sounds like deja vu, ah, I was like this for a while. Husband, tell me, does Ze'er like someone?" Before Gu Nian could answer, he said to himself, "It must be, I At that time, I was making clothes for my husband, and I was often in a daze, and I would laugh when I thought about my husband."
Hearing these confession-like words, Gu Nian couldn't help pulling Liu Mian into his arms and kissing her.
"Don't seduce me."
"No, I haven't. I'm talking to my husband about Ze'er.
Liu Mian has always been doted on by Gu Nian, with a pure heart, and has always been a teenager, innocent and pure, even after having a child, she hasn't changed much.
'I have longed all my life to be well-collected, properly placed, and carefully preserved.Don't be surprised, don't suffer, don't wander around, don't have branches to cling to. '
Perhaps, that person from Liu Mian crossed time and space and came to him.
