Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Wait, Ah Man can make a sound?! ...
Gu Zhizhuo hugged Ah Man, thinking about something.
Judging from her pulse, Ah Man's heart meridians are severely blocked. It would be best to use silver needles to clear the heart meridian and pericardium meridian. The problem is that Ah Man is afraid of needles.
For a moment, Gu Zhizhuo was a little embarrassed.
She thought about it all night, and at dawn the next day, she asked Qiongfang to get the booklet from her small warehouse.
She remembered that when she was seven or eight years old, she had nightmares every night and even had convulsions, making it difficult for her to sleep. So her grandmother found a dozen pieces of white jade with excellent water content and had someone bring them to the capital.
Gu Zhizhuo flipped through the booklet, but found nothing.
She ran to the small storehouse again, but still found nothing. Finally, she found a palm-sized piece of uncut jade in a box on the dressing table. She then ran outside to ask a craftsman to make it into jade pendants, but only got two pieces.
White jade has the effect of calming the mind and is commonly known to be able to calm the nerves.
Gu Zhizhuo personally carved the talisman on the jade plaque.
I have to admit that her hands are a lot less skilled now, and the carving knife is not obedient in her hand at all. It took her three days to carve two jade plaques, and one of them was even carved crookedly.
So ugly!
Gu Zhizhuo was too embarrassed to look at it, so he threw it into the jewelry box, picked up the beautifully carved piece and gave it to Ah Man.
The little girl was so conceited that she was happy all day long. Sometimes she would show off to the lady, and sometimes she would happily show off to her cousins. When she came back from showing off, there was a new string on the jade pendant, and several jade beads were decorated on it.
Gu Zhizhuo went in and out and was busy for several days.
Calming incense is always lit. She made it herself!
The jade plaque is hung every day. She carved it herself!
Gu Zhizhuo also specially made two sachets with the extra spices, one for Ah Man to hang and the other to place under her pillow.
Whatever she said was what it was, and Gu Liaoliao never interfered.
Seeing that she had changed the incense recipe, Gu Liaoliao said in a very good mood: "A-Man sleeps much more comfortably. In the past, she would toss and turn and sweat in the middle of the night. These days, I see that she can sleep through the night."
Gu Zhizhuo took the opportunity to stir up trouble: "Of course not, our Ah Man has returned to her own home, and she doesn't have to worry about other people's faces anymore. Of course, she will sleep well too."
Gu Liaoliao deeply agreed.
Lady Jing'an looked at Ah Man as if she were an unlucky star. Gu Liuliao herself was also worried about the feng shui formation. Not only did she send away the wet nurse and nanny who were serving Ah Man at that time, she also confined Ah Man to play in the yard on weekdays. It was nothing like now. She could go wherever she wanted in the entire Duke's Mansion and everyone liked her.
After running around the garden in the morning, Ah Man came back and lay on the windowsill to watch the birds when the sun was strong at noon. There was a colorful bird that came every day, jumping around on the windowsill and preening its feathers.
The bird has long feathers on its tail, as dazzling and smooth as silk.
After combing its feathers, it pecked at its little paws to make itself look beautiful.
Ah Man stared intently.
At this time, a little maid in green clothes came in from the hanging flower gate. The bird was startled and flapped its wings and flew into the tree canopy. The dense branches and leaves covered its small body.
Ah Man pointed disappointedly in the direction the bird flew away. She stretched her neck to look left and right, then turned around with a wrinkled face.
Her mouth moved, and a vague sound suddenly came out of her throat: "Ah, ah!"
"ah!"
Gu Liaoliao half opened her red lips, unable to believe it.
Wait, Ah Man can make sounds! ?
Over the past year, Ah Man not only couldn't speak, she didn't laugh or cry. No matter how sad or happy she was, she only had an expression. It was as if something was stuck in her throat, and there was no sound at all. Every time she saw it, Gu Liao Liao's heart felt like it was being torn apart.
And now, she actually heard her daughter's voice again.
A long-lost voice.
Tears flowed uncontrollably. Gu Liaoliao covered her mouth with her hands, fearing that she would scare her daughter, and went to see Gu Zhizhuo again.
Gu Zhizhuo smiled and said, "Take your time."
If he used silver needles and a tranquilizing talisman, Gu Zhizhuo was confident that it would only take seven days to clear Ah Man's heart meridians.
Now, the fastest time is half a month.
Gu Liao Liao nodded hurriedly. Yes, take your time. As long as there's a little hope, no matter how long it takes, it doesn't matter. At least there's light ahead, not an unseen abyss.
Gu Liaoliao's heart was beating fast, and she choked up and said, "A-Man likes birds. How about we go to the bird market and pick out a parrot?"
Ah Man tilted his head, as if considering it seriously.
The maidservant in green also stood in the corridor and announced, "Aunt, the uncle is here."
Since the last time, Gu Liaoliao had specifically ordered that no one from the Qin family, including Qin Su, would be allowed in if they came to visit again, so they were stopped this time.
"not see."
Gu Liaoliao only replied once, then quietly discussed with her daughter: "The parrot is so beautiful, Mom will take Ah Man to pick one herself..."
The maid bent her knees and went down to pass on the message.
This message was passed to the doorman, and Qin Su was turned away.
"...Uncle-in-law, please go back."
The doorman said this in a gentle voice, then closed the corner door, leaving Qin Su alone outside.
Qin Su held the horse and stood silently.
He and A Liao had met in southern Xinjiang. A Liao, dressed in red armor and carrying a long sword, charged into the enemy ranks like a man, her demeanor dashing and heroic. From that moment on, she had been etched in his heart.
He wants to marry her.
He fought bravely, accumulated military merits, and was promoted to Qianzong in just one year. When he led his troops to ambush horse bandits and brought back the head of the bandit leader, she finally noticed him.
Later, he married her.
He put his whole heart on her...
Qin Su closed his eyes.
He just wanted a son, one was enough, wasn't that too much? Why did A Liao have to dwell on this matter?!
She should also think about him. Without a son, what would happen to the title of Earl's Mansion? Who would he give all the things he had worked so hard to earn in his life to?
He rode on the horse in boredom, not even pulling the reins, letting the horse take him back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, a nanny came up to him, wiping her tears and choking to tell him: "Master, Aunt Sun has had a miscarriage and is not feeling well!"
Qin Su was startled and quickly ran to the main courtyard. Without waiting for the call, he opened the curtain and rushed in. The wife of the Marquis of Jing'an sat on the armchair, wiping her tears and crying uncontrollably. She looked so sad and lustful that Qin Su almost thought the child was lost.
"Mother," he asked nervously, "How is Yao Niang?"
"You're still kind enough to care for your cousin," Lady Jing'an put down her handkerchief, her eyes red as she spoke. "You rushed out as soon as you had your day off. Your wife is the only one on your mind, and you didn't even bother spending time with your cousin. Such a big thing happened in our family. Gu hasn't even been seen these days. It's all thanks to Yao Niang running around, but she ended up having a miscarriage. The doctor's still in there!"
"If anything happens to my precious grandson, I don't want to live anymore." Lady Jing'an cried more and more sadly. "I'm already this old, and I finally have a grandson. Tell me, what sin did our Qin family commit?"
"Marrying a wife who can't give birth to a son is bad enough, but you're also jealous. Let me tell you, if Gu doesn't give out the old ginseng and doesn't take good care of Yao Niang to give birth to a child, I won't agree to give my little grandson to her to raise!"
This won’t do! Only those who have been raised since childhood will develop feelings for each other. In the future, this child will also regard A Liao as his biological mother. Qin Su comforted her, “Madam Gu is not feeling well…”
"Feeling unwell?! Why didn't Madam Gu look unwell when she was scolding people?" Lady Jing'an became increasingly annoyed. "In my opinion, Madam Gu is just jealous that Yao Niang can give birth to a son!"
"Even though she married into our Qin family, she's still so stubborn. The Gu family is full of shrews! Both the older and the younger ones!"
A girl could be so barbaric. If Suer hadn't said that the commander of the Jinwu Guard was about to be transferred and he wanted to compete for the position and needed the relationship of the Zhenguo Mansion in the army, she would never swallow this anger.
Qin Su picked up the teacup on the table and handed it over. Experience told him that it was best not to talk at this time.
If he defended A Liao, his mother would nag him for half an hour.
Lady Jing'an drank a few sips of tea and sobbed again, "Why is my life so miserable?"
Halfway through her tears, the doctor came out. Lady Jing'an didn't even have time to put down her teacup before she hurriedly asked, "Doctor, my daughter-in-law..."
"Mom!" Qin Su frowned and stopped her.
Yao Niang is just a concubine no matter what! How can a concubine be called a daughter-in-law?
Lady Jing'an took a sip of tea to ease the embarrassment of her gaffe.
Doctor Wang pretended he was deaf and lowered his head as he said, "Madam, the aunt is fine. She'll just need a dose of a pregnancy-maintaining medicine. But..." He paused and said seriously, "The aunt's fetus is in an abnormal position. I'm afraid she might have a difficult delivery."
When talking about difficult labor, Lady Jing'an turned pale with fear and tightly grasped the hand of Nanny Ping beside her.
Matron Ping hurriedly asked on her behalf, "Didn't you say a few days ago that the baby was fine? Why is it that..."
"The baby is about to be born, so it's normal for the fetus to have some changes in position. However, my aunt is too weak and worried too much, so the baby is not being taken good care of..." Doctor Wang said a lot, but in the end, the point was that the child could not be saved.
Qin Su's breathing stagnated.
It was difficult for A Liao to have children. He had hoped, prayed, and been disappointed.
Now God has finally given him a son. How would he feel if he lost him again?
Lady Jing'an looked up and suddenly asked, "That little mute...did Ah Man have any stomach discomfort the past few days?"
Nanny Ping was stunned for a moment and counted the days silently in her heart.
The Crown Prince's wife passed away seven days ago. It seemed that she had consulted a doctor that day. She nodded and flattered him, "Madam, you have a good memory. This is indeed the case."
"That's right! Immortal Qingping said that our Qin family's descendants, Palace Master Sun, were harmed by an evil star, and it would be difficult to have children." Lady Jing'an immediately understood the key point and slammed the table repeatedly. "Seven days ago, Yao Niang's pregnancy was still fine, but then this little mute fell ill. As soon as she recovered, Yao Niang's fetus was in a wrong position and she was about to have a difficult birth. My golden grandson must have been used by the little mute to ward off the disease."
"I've always said this little mute is unlucky. She's definitely an evil star!"
Her voice became shrill with excitement.
Yao Niang has been feeling unwell ever since she became pregnant, and it’s all because of this little mute!
Lady Jing'an's heart was boiling. She sat on the armchair, her body swaying back and forth, and her vision was blacking out.
