After speaking about Gu Hui, the Empress Dowager prepared to inquire about Gu Nian, but to her surprise, Gu Nian vomited up the soup she had just drunk.
Gu Nian: "..."
I'm doomed.
Apart from Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Gu Yingxue, who else present couldn't understand it?
So Grandma Xiao immediately asked Gu Xin, who was sitting next to Gu Nian, to take her pulse. Gu Xin was very familiar with the pulse of a pregnant woman; she had taken the pulses of her mother, uncle, fourth aunt Gu Hui, and third aunt Gu.
So, as soon as Gu Nian took the hand, she quickly realized that Gu Nian was pregnant.
Everyone in the room, at both tables, was extremely happy.
...
"Sigh, I've been working on a color recently, and I'm almost done. How come it's already here? I told my sister I'd get it for her before the Dragon Boat Festival!" Gu Nian had no appetite and went to sit down and play with the children. Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Gu Yingxue quickly finished eating and came over to keep her company.
"Sister, if Sister Qianning knew you were pregnant, she wouldn't say anything. What are you worried about? It's only a matter of ten months. Besides, I felt your pulse, and it's been two months already. You only have eight more months until you give birth. Anyway, you're going to have a baby sooner or later, so it'll be easier for you later," Gu Xin comforted her.
“You’re right. But the dye I’m researching is almost finished, and I want to complete it. You don’t know, after I got married to A-Yu, we agreed that if I got pregnant, I couldn’t do any experiments, and A-Yu would shut down my lab. I didn’t expect it to happen so soon, and I agreed.” Gu Nian sighed.
"Second sister, why don't you ask someone to help you? The maids you usually take care of must know something! Just tell them the steps and let them do it!" Gu Yingxue suggested.
“No.” Gu Nian shook her head. “They don’t know much yet. I’ve only been working with these maids for a short time, less than half a year.”
"Sister, let Sisi and I help you with this!" Gu Xin thought for a moment and said, "We used to work with you in the lab back in the village. We also often went to your lab in Kunzhou. Actually, Hanhan knows more than we do, but Hanhan and Yiyi are getting married and will be going back to Kunzhou after their weddings. So let Sisi and I do it!"
“Yes, second sister, third sister is right. Although third sister and I haven’t been in your lab for the past year or two, we know how to use everything there. We understand the principles once you explain them to us. Let us do it!” Gu Si agreed with the suggestion.
Gu Nian thought about it and agreed. Gu Xin and Gu Si were smart, and she had indeed taught them a lot when they were in the village.
What she's doing now is extracting pigments from plants and minerals. Da Zhou already has quite a few colors, but she can extract even more. She's been doing this since she got married.
Working with Xue Qianyu's older sister, Xue Qianning, whose husband's family owned the largest dye house in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
So the sisters started talking about it.
When Xue Qianyu got home that evening, he was still thinking about how to persuade Gu Nian to put down what she was doing, but Gu Nian happily told him her plans.
Xue Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The couple sat at their desk, writing a letter to their parents, who had already passed away, to report the good news.
Meanwhile, Gu Xin was also discussing this matter with her parents.
"You're helping your sister with her work, so you don't plan to get involved in any cases that come up?" Gu Shouxin wasn't surprised that Gu Xin would lend a hand, but he still wanted to ask Gu Xin about her other plans.
