On the first day of their marriage, Gu Nian slept until almost noon.
As soon as she woke up, she felt something was wrong; she had a headache and her body felt like it was falling apart.
In the twelfth lunar month, she lay naked in bed, not wanting to come out at all; it was so cold outside.
"Awake?" At this moment, Xue Qianyu pushed open the door and came over.
Gu Nian immediately covered her head with the blanket.
Xue Qianyu smiled, sat on the bed, and lifted a corner of the blanket.
"I was drunk last night," Gu Nian said, popping her head out.
"Yes, you were drunk last night." Xue Qianyu looked at the mark he had left on Gu Nian's neck, his eyes blazing with anger again. He said in a serious tone, "So, we missed our wedding night. I just told my parents that you drank too much and might wake up late, so we can have the tea ceremony this afternoon."
Gu Nian blinked.
Xue Qianyu got up, quickly took off his clothes, crawled into bed, and hugged Gu Nian: "So, we have to make up for it today."
Gu Nian: "Xue Qian...uh...um..."
...
"I wonder if Niannian is getting used to living in the Xue family!" After lunch at the Gu family home, Cai Xiaolian chatted with Grandma Gu.
"Overall, Niannian is doing quite well. She knows the Xue family, so the adjustment period wasn't long," Grandma Gu said.
"Yes, that's true. I'm quite worried." Cai Xiaolian thought of Gu Nian's clueless attitude, thinking he knew everything but actually having never done it before, and she was indeed quite worried.
But this is something everyone has to go through; you'll get used to it after being married for a while.
Grandma Gu glanced at Cai Xiaolian and changed the subject: "I've thought about what you were talking about before, about managing several children together, and I've had someone choose a courtyard."
Cai Xiaolian's attention was indeed diverted, and she began to ask about this matter.
The family all agreed with Cai Xiaolian's suggestion, although it was Gu Ren who first proposed it.
With so many children in the family, and their ages being so similar, managing them this way is actually quite good.
Grandma Gu sent someone to call Zhang and Yang over.
Gu Shouxin was going to the Ministry of Rites, and Gu Dabo was also summoned to the royal warm room to ponder something. Gu Sishu went to the Ministry of Works.
Grandma Gu didn't understand the specifics, but she knew the general idea.
Their house, to say nothing of anything else, is very spacious, so clearing out a place for it is quite easy.
The nursery of the Gu family was located in the North Garden, where there was a bamboo grove and a pond. Grandma Gu's idea was to fill in the pond, but keep the bamboo grove. The children were still young, and there were no railings or anything around the pond. It would be bad if they were naughty and climbed over and fell into the water.
Cai Xiaolian agreed with this point, saying that the pond in Beiyuan was quite large and could be filled in to create a sports field.
Perhaps it was because she had been with Uncle Gu for a long time, but seeing how well he had succeeded in growing vegetables, Zhang Shi also gave a suggestion: "Mother, I think we should set up a vegetable garden in the mansion."
Grandma Gu, Cai Xiaolian, and Madam Yang all looked at Madam Zhang.
Zhang said, “Mother, brothers and sisters-in-law, you all know me. Before, I thought that kind of farming was useless. If there was a chance, who would want to be a peasant? But these past few years, seeing my husband farming, I’ve realized that peasants can also do great things. Although it’s because our grandmother and the emperor wanted to elevate our family’s status, my husband has also done real work!”
