Chapter 384: Madam Shen Arrives
Chapter 384: Madam Shen Arrives
Gu Qingqing knew some knowledge about pregnancy, but it was the first time she subjectively realized and felt that a life was growing in her belly.
This feeling is so novel.
Novelty can't change the symptoms of morning sickness.
The grapes that Wen Wuyan picked were exactly to her liking. They felt as good when she ate them as they did when she spit them out.
Fortunately, her current ability is to eat and vomit. After vomiting, she can be energetic for a while, but after a while, she will become a pitiful creature again.
Early the next morning.
After finishing a bowl of rice porridge with eggs, which had not stayed in his stomach for less than a quarter of an hour, Li Xin went to the backyard and brought back an old hen he had raised last year to clean up the filth on the ground.
The whole family was busy surrounding her, with Dahua being the most anxious. "When Mom was pregnant with Sanhua, she didn't vomit. At most, she had acid in her stomach. But now she vomits everything she eats."
Gu Qingqing was half leaning against the wall with a pillow behind her. She looked at Sanhua who was trying to find her but was held tightly in Erhua's arms, and then looked at Dahua whose little face was full of sadness.
I couldn't help but raise my hand and tap my forehead. "You are stupid. What did mother eat before? She couldn't even eat enough, so how could she bear to spit it out? Now look..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Wen Wuyan who came in with a bowl of vinegar noodles, "Now your father can't just watch me talk nonsense. It would be strange if I didn't vomit the food in my stomach."
Wen Wuyan just smiled when Qingqing was talking about him, then handed over the noodles and said, "It's because you always vomit, so you have to eat more. It doesn't matter whether the little bunny is hungry or not, but I can't let you starve."
Gu Qingqing waved at Wen Wuyan, then pointed to the table in the room, meaning that she should eat there.
Dahua smelled the sour smell in the air, looked at Gu Qingqing and asked worriedly, "Mom, is this too sour? Don't you usually love cucumber and egg soup? How about I make you a bowl of soup and cook two more eggs in it?"
The weather was hot and she was having morning sickness, so Gu Qingqing felt a little irritable. But looking at her worried daughter, she tried to act like she was open to anything that came her way. "Okay, but save that for lunch. Let's eat this first."
Just as Gu Qingqing finished her meagre bowl of noodles and was about to wipe herself with a wet towel, Li Xin hurriedly ran from the front yard to the inner yard and entered the house, "Uncle and aunt, there are two large carriages outside. They are from the Shen Mansion."
Gu Qingqing was startled just as she was about to leave the bench. When she turned around, she saw Wen Wuyan also looking at her. They both seemed confused. Why did someone come to the Shen Mansion in such a hot day?
"Did you see who came?" Wen Wuyan asked Li Xin.
"Yeah, I saw Uncle Shen."
The Uncle Shen of the Shen Mansion mentioned by Li Xin is Steward Shen.
Wen Wuyan nodded, and then said to Gu Qingqing, "Manager Shen, let me go take a look. You can rest in the room for a while."
"Well, go ahead. Call me if anything happens." Gu Qingqing drove Wen Wuyan away, and at the same time drove the three children away.
She wanted to be quiet.
However, Jingjing didn't care about her.
Before she lay down to warm up the mat under her, Dahua rushed in again, "Mom, Aunt Shen brought a beautiful..." Dahua scratched her head in confusion. She didn't know whether to call the strange lady "Auntie" or "Sister". Dahua didn't know what to call her, so she got to the point, "She brought someone."
Gu Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes, suspecting that she had heard wrongly, and sat up from the kang and asked, "Who did you say is here?"
"Aunt Shen."
"Aunt Chen An?"
Dahua nodded, and then said, "Aunt Shen also brought a good-looking...person with her."
As Dahua described the visitor, Gu Qingqing already knew who it was. It should be the wife of the third master whom she met last time.
Gu Qingqing was just in a daze, and she had already stood up and got off the kang. Thinking that Dahua didn't know how to address people, she stood up and said, "You can just call her Madam later."
"I know mother."
"Take the people into the main room first and tell them I will be right behind you."
"it is good."
When Wen Wuyan goes to receive Manager Shen, she will definitely occupy the study room, so she can only ask Mrs. Shen to come to the main room. Fortunately, there is a partition between the main room and the east room where she sleeps, so her and Wen Wuyan's private space will not be completely exposed to others.
Gu Qingqing wiped her face with clean water and simply gathered her long hair behind her head.
Listening to the loud voice outside, "Aunt Shen, please have some tea. Madam, please have some tea."
Mrs. Shen saw Dahua and held her hand very close to her and said a few words. At the end, she asked, "Why don't you see your sister? Did she go out to play?"
"Aunt Shen, Sanhua has been a little clingy to her mother recently. Erhua should take her out."
After Dahua answered, she looked at the things Uncle Lai Fu moved in with a pair of innocent eyes, and a crisp voice rang out in the house, "Aunt Shen, why do you bring so many valuable things when you come to my house?"
Mrs. Shen smiled happily and said, "Of course I am thinking about you sisters. I want you to have a taste of the delicious food."
Dahua smiled at Mrs. Shen with a bright and beautiful smile, "Then I would like to thank Aunt Shen on behalf of my sister."
"Be good, Dahua."
While the two were talking, Gu Qingqing came out of the house leisurely. When she saw the man, she said sorry for making him wait so long.
Mrs. Shen looked at Gu Qingqing with a frown on her face. She felt that she had changed after not seeing her for a few days, but she couldn't tell exactly where she had changed.
In the end it came down to the problem of how she tied her hair.
"We hope we didn't disturb you by coming here so rashly." Mrs. Shen said.
"How could I bother you? I am so happy. The two of you coming together really makes my little courtyard shine. Madam, please take a seat."
"I'm glad I didn't disturb you."
Gu Qingqing thought about her outfit and thought that the other party thought that she was disturbing her rest. She smiled and said, "I remember that every time I went to the mansion, Madam always told me to treat it as our own home and not to be restrained. Madam rarely comes to our country, just treat my place as your farm."
Gu Qingqing pulled Mrs. Shen to sit down first, then nodded and greeted the third master's wife.
Mrs. Shen was amused by what she had just said and sat down again.
Since Gu Qingqing knew that she was pregnant, she naturally stopped drinking tea and asked Dahua to help her pour a cup of warm water.
"Mrs. Shen, why did you think of visiting us today? Why didn't Qingxue come with us? She said last time that she wanted to come and play with me."
When Mrs. Shen heard her asking about Qingxue, her smile became even more intense. "She can't go out now."
"Can't go out? Are you not feeling well?" Gu Qingqing looked suspicious and thought, he is fine, could he be sick?
Mrs. Shen's brows were decorated with a strong smile, and even when she laughed she would cover her lips slightly with a handkerchief. Gu Qingqing found it pleasing to the eyes, but she felt in her heart that she, a country chicken, could never learn from her. When she laughed, she opened her mouth and laughed loudly.
Tsk, why didn’t I care about my image before?
"Qingxue is fine. The family called a doctor the day before yesterday. Qingxue is pregnant."
At this moment, Gu Qingqing suddenly felt clear-headed, and the urge to speak out in her heart faded a lot. She was really happy for Qingxue, "Qingxue is pregnant? Congratulations, Madam Shen, you will be a grandmother soon."
"I have to thank you for being her grandmother. It was only the day before yesterday that I found out you taught her so many things. Tell me, how can I thank you?"
"Mrs. Shen, I didn't help much, but I heard about this from the elders in the village before, so I told her without shame. Besides, Qingxue and I get along well, and I hope she can become a mother soon, so that the Shen family can have more children and leaves." Gu Qingqing was really happy for Qingxue.
At this time, the wife of the third master, who had been silent since arriving, smiled and said, "Cousin, you will soon live a life surrounded by your children and grandchildren."
Gu Qingqing just thought that the other person was accompanying Mrs. Shen to her home, and she didn't pay much attention to it. She just accompanied him to chat.
At the end of the conversation I found out that the other party was going back to Beijing, and he came today to thank me.
Gu Qingqing tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit in her stomach and said something like: It's my duty, no need to thank me.
Mrs. Shen looked at Gu Qingqing, whose complexion was getting worse and worse, and put one hand on the back of her hand, and asked with concern, "Qingqing, why do you look so bad..."
It would have been better if she didn't ask, because after a while Gu Qingqing's defense was broken.
Woo~
"Wait for it, guys." Gu Qingqing covered her mouth and said vaguely, then ran into the yard.
The remaining two people were stunned for a moment, then ran out immediately.
