Chapter 226

With wind blowing into the room, the curtain was lifted . Gu Tingye strode into the room . Cuiwei gave her obeisance to him and dismissed herself . Minglan wanted to stand up, but was pressed back by Gu Tingye . Seeing her pale face, he said softly, Just rest here, dont stand up .

Minglan didnt insist then and only called Xiazhu over to help Gu Tingye get changed . As Minglan leaned on the bedside, she saw the cheerful look on the mans face . Clearly he was in a good mood . Then she asked with a smile, Master, why are you so joyful today, is it because . . . ?

Gu Tingye stood there straightly . The dark red gem on his purple golden official hat looked dazzling and the embroidered robe and the jade belt made him look ever more handsome and graceful . He turned around and saw the expectant look in Minglans bright eyes .

Then he laughed and taunted, I wasnt promoted, nor did I make a fortune!

Minglan who had been seen through laughed bashfully and leaned on the bed listlessly again . After Gu Tingye had changed into a set of green leisure wear embroidered with silver threads, he waved his hand to dismiss Xiazhu . Having sat beside Minglan, he touched the warm bag on Minglans belly and asked, Still hurt?

Minglan shook her head softly, saying, I just have no strength right now .

Gu Tingye rubbed Minglans cheek while approaching to Minglan . She could feel his face still a bit hot due to the sunlight outside and his stubble quite rough while he used his face to rub her smooth and tender cheek . After a long while, they both sighed and spoke at the same time with completely different contents,

We should have babies later .

We should have babies sooner .

After that, they both looked at each other in shock, with surprised and amused expressions in their eyes . Gu Tingye said first, Stupid girl . You should nurse your body first . Theres no hurry to have babies right now . We have plenty of time .

Hearing that, Minglan blushed right away, her fair cheek now super rosy . Then she said, Thats not right . Ive heard from the experienced women that once a woman gives birth to a baby, she wouldnt feel so uncomfortable during her period .

Is that so? Gu Tingye seemed to doubt her words, I thought having a baby at a young age was bad for women .

Who told you that? Minglan couldnt help laughing, The elders always say that as long as a womans condition is well, giving birth to children wont cause any harm .

It had to be admitted that although Gu Tingye was wild on bed, he was very thoughtful in some aspects . Ever since Minglan started to nurse her body according to Old Madam Hes prescription, she had requested implicitly that they should stop having sex for a few days every month . She wanted to get pregnant after two courses of drug treatment . When Minglan had made that request, she had felt a bit uneasy . After all, in this ancient time, everyone said it was better and a blessing to have a baby early . Little had she known that Gu Tingye would agree with her without any hesitation and even told Minglan to take care of her own body repeatedly .

I only want to be a widower for once . You have to stay with me for several decades . Gu Tingye had joked that at that time .

As a result, except for the few non-sex days, Gu Tingye got extremely passionate every night and they had crazy sex till every midnight .

Having heard Minglan said that, Gu stopped frowning and massaged Minglans little hands while comforting her, You still should be careful, during my wandering days . . . He paused and said with pleasure, I heard that some of the wives of the farmers could even give birth to children when they were fifty .

Hearing that, Minglan who got ashamed and angry pinched the mans arms violently . However, his strong muscle only made her fingers numb . Then she pretended to be enraged and scolded, Arent you ashamed?

After the couple teased each other for a while, they finally remembered what they had talked about in the beginning . Minglan asked why he was happy again and Gu Tingye replied with a joyful look, Momo Chang is coming tomorrow .

Gosh, finally . Minglan put her palms together and said smilingly, If she still doesnt come, Ill go invite her .

Ever since Gu Tingye had gone back to the capital, Momo Chang had moved to the Cat Ear Alley from the countryside with her widowed daughter-in-law and grandchildren . Back when Gu Tingye held the wedding ceremony, it was still a few months away before she finished the three-years mourning for her son . Thus, she refused to come to the wedding, fearing that she might destroy the happy atmosphere .

Momo Changs scruples are totally unnecessary . We wont mind that . Minglan had always looked up to this Momo Chang .

Gu Tingye laughed and said, Momo is from the country, people back at her hometown are very particular about customs and she is a stubborn person . It makes no difference if she comes a few days earlier, so I just agreed to her . If Im not in the mansion when she arrives, you can keep her here for a while .

Minglan smiled and agreed . They sat next to each other and chatted for a while . Then Danju came in to report, Qiuniang is here .

Gu Tingye was surprised to hear that, his heavy eyebrows knitted again .

Minglan pushed the man away to tidy her clothes and hair which got disheveled due to their intimate moves . Then she ordered, Let her in . With that, she wanted to get off the bed, but was pushed back by Gu Tingye .

Qiuniang carried a small bag and walked over slowly in a yellow cotton jacket . She saw Minglan lying on the bed and Gu Tingye sitting on the side of bed with his hands on his knees . Then she lowered her head and gave her obeisance . Minglan smiled and asked Qiuniang to sit .

What are you doing here? Gu Tingye asked patiently .

Qiuniang, with a tender look on her face, tilted her face and raised her head, saying softly, The weather is getting hotter and hotter . Master, I know you cannot stand the heat, so Ive made some summer clothes for you . Here are a few sachets, in which I have put your favoritelignumaquilariaeresinatumas well as rosin and felon herb for repelling the mosquitoes . On these words, she opened the small bag and stepped forward . However, Gu Tingye didnt move a bit, which made Qiuniang feel quite embarrassed .

Minglan sensed the awkwardness in the air and tried to ease the tension, Danju, bring the bag to me, I want to see her needlework . . . Also, go check if the lunch is ready . Minglan felt it was better if fewer people could see Qiuniang being like this .

Danju took over the bag and put it on the table gently before leaving the room reverently .

Qiuniang stared at Gu Tingyes peaceful look in a daze and said in a soft voice, Master . . . I . . .

Gu Tingye also stared at Qiuniang . Minglan looked at his handsome side face, finding him being lost in thought . He said slowly while looking into Qiuniangs eyes, Have you made those things for Rong too?

Qiuniang was quite taken aback and said after a brief pause, III planned to make some for her after I made those for you, Master .

Having you made any clothes for Madam ever since you arrived at our mansion? Gu Tingye asked again .

Qiuniang stood up right away and knelt to Minglan, saying in panic, Its my fault . These days I have been engaged in transcribing the Buddha book and only found time to make those for Master .

Since there was no maid in the room, no one helped Qiuniang up . Minglan could only smile and comfort her, It doesnt matter . The most important thing for you is taking care of Rong . You can get up now .

Qiuniang, not daring to stand up, moved her knees toward Gu Tingye and wanted to say something . However, Gu raised his hand to interrupt her and asked abruptly, Have you given obeisance to Madam this morning?

Qiuniang answered at once, Of course I have . I would never forget my duties .

Then why didnt you give this bag to Madam this morning?

Qiuniang, unwilling to believe what she had just heard, suddenly raised her head and only found a reproachful and even a bit scornful look in Gu Tingyes eyes . She opened her mouth but couldnt utter a word . Her eyes were completely red and her tears were about to drop at any time .

The room was deadly quiet . Minglan felt extremely awkward and really wanted to run away . However, Gu Tingye was sitting on half of her dress, which made her unable to move . So she could only turn away her head and pickedBook of Mountain and Sea,pretending to read .
