Chapter 37 Dou's Birth
The scholars listened with their heads swaying. Wasn't this more lively and interesting than the old teacher's teaching? Those who didn't memorize the text memorized it immediately, and those who knew the meaning of the words had other interpretations.
Late evening.
Chang Xixi waited for Gu Rongyu and Qingnan to return to Wanfu Village. The people in the village didn't know that she had opened a school in the city. As soon as she returned, Dou Shi stood up from the threshold.
"Mom, why are you here?" Chang Xixi immediately got off the ox cart and helped Dou, whose legs were numb from sitting for so long.
"I haven't seen you for many days, so I wanted to come and see you. I didn't expect you to come back so late. I hope I didn't disturb you?" Dou said.
She looked at Chang Xixi with heartache. She got up early and went to bed late to accompany Gu Rongyu to study. She didn't know if he could pass the imperial examination. If he could, it would not be in vain for Xixi's hard work. She was just afraid that he would look down on his wife for her poor birth in the future.
Dou Shi would not tell Chang Xixi about the words that would cause discord between the couple. She took out a bag of candy from the basket beside her and said, "Take these to nourish your body and try to have a child soon. I still have some strength to help."
This, this is not to see her, it is clearly to... to induce the birth of cubs.
"Mom, go sit for a while. Last night, I asked Qingnan to call my second brother over so that we can have dinner together as a family. I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
Dou was shocked when she heard this. Someone was looking for trouble again? Or had Xixi encountered something terrible?
Chang Xixi saw Dou's expression change and comforted her, "Mother, it's a good thing."
Qingnan glanced at the young master's eyes, and followed him to Chang's house happily. She was dissatisfied with Chang Hai's slow walking speed, so she carried him on her back.
Dou Shi didn't know what to talk about with Gu Rongyu. After sitting for a while, she went to the kitchen to help.
"Mom, why don't you sit down and rest? What are you doing here? I'm here. I can handle it all by myself." As she said that, Chang Xixi put the fish in her hand into the pot.
Dou sat on a small stool in the kitchen and added firewood to the stove.
"Xixi, if you encounter any problems, tell mother. Our family is poor and doesn't have much money, but we have strength and people. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water, but in the hearts of your family, you will always be a family member."
Chang Xixi was obviously stunned. Dou's words made her feel ashamed!
In fact, she was just a wandering soul who took over Chang Xixi's identity and survived. Who would have thought that she would enter someone else's body and enjoy someone else's love.
Tears started to flow, and she wiped them away with her sleeve. "Mom, you'll know what I'm going to say in a moment."
It’s time for dinner.
Chang Xixi took out the wine that Qingnan had brewed for a family in the village, bought a pound of rice wine, asked Qingnan to sit at the table, and filled the table with wine.
"Come, have a drink."
Dou had never drunk alcohol before, so she picked up the glass and took a sip. Chang Hai, on the other hand, drank it in one gulp!
Gu Rongyu drank a small cup.
Seeing that everyone had drunk the wine, Chang Xixi announced, "Mother, Second Brother, and Husband, I have rented the teahouse and am planning to start a big business. You won't have to suffer anymore."
"You've booked the entire teahouse?"
Gu Rongyu's fingers were pinching the white porcelain quilt, and her fingertips were slightly red. Was she going to take this opportunity to talk about this? Her cheeks were slightly red, and she felt ashamed of what she had eavesdropped last night.
"Yes, I rented the entire teahouse and then did what I'm good at. I opened a school to teach students, and I'm on the right track. I can't put all my eggs in one basket."
Dou Shi didn't understand, but she knew that Chang Xixi was going to make a lot of money! She was happy in her heart.
Chang Xixi took out another ingot of silver and said, "Mom, second brother, this is the living expenses I give to the family. Now that I can make money, I naturally want to supplement the family income."
"This, this is not good! You should keep it for your uncle to take care of his health. I am still thinking about holding my grandson. Your eldest brother is still unmarried, and no girl dares to marry your second brother. The whole family is counting on you."
"mother……"
Chang Xixi felt resentful! Although she and Gu Rongyu slept in the same bed, they did not consummate their marriage. He did not have that intention, and she did not want to either.
Having a child would hinder her from getting rich!
With a child, she and Gu Rongyu were completely tied together. Apart from anything else, they probably couldn't get along.
Gu Rongyu's mood at the moment is that she can have a child, but not now.
His revenge has not been completed yet, and he himself has not seen the light of day. If he has a child, the child will suffer with him and will not see the light of day.
At that time, he and Chang Xixi were completely tied together!
If they wanted to have a child, they had to wait until he regained his status, or at least could live a legitimate life. Before they knew it, their thoughts coincided.
"Mother, I want to wait until my husband passes the imperial examination before we discuss these romantic matters."
"Xixi, I'm not forcing you. This matter is up to you to figure out for yourself."
"good."
After dinner, Chang Xixi asked Qingnan to send the person back.
Gu Rongyu lit the candles in the room and began to read by the candlelight. Chang Xixi came out of the kitchen with a basin of water, "Let's wash up first."
"I wronged you at the teahouse yesterday."
Gu Rongyu looked at Chang Xixi. What on earth did she feel wronged about? He walked over with the candlestick in his hand. Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves, Chang Xixi asked him to sit down and took off his shoes. Gu Rongyu felt a hint of danger.
Doesn't she want to have a child with me?
"My lady, I...I can do it myself! You've been tired all day, it's better to rest early."
Chang Xixi really didn't want to wait. There was also a hidden meaning that she couldn't hear. Her cheeks flushed red for a moment. She lowered her head and started to play with her fingers. After a long while, she said, "No, that's not what I meant. I just want you to soak your feet."
She took out a drop of spiritual spring from the space. This thing can not only be taken internally but also used externally. It can be used to soak feet and wash away fatigue.
He kept thinking about how the old man had scared him during the day.
Later, she learned from the waiter that the old master thought that the show had to be done seriously, otherwise if he was caught, his reputation would be ruined. After all, he was a Jinshi, and if he was ruined, the young men in Panzhicheng would have no hope.
The old man also has good intentions.
Chang Xixi also knew it, he was just stingy. She had snatched his student away, so he had to vent his anger no matter what.
Sure enough, intellectuals have their own tricks when it comes to using tricks.
She feels guilty!
Gu Rongyu's face also turned red along with Chang Xixi's. The other party was just showing simple concern, but he misunderstood it.
The person outside the door, watching the two blushing and flirting in the bright moonlight, cursed, "Even in the daytime, you two weren't shy. But now you're pretending, tsk tsk."
Gu Rongyu picked up a dried fruit on the table, moved his fingers, and heard Qingnan outside the door scream!
