Master Yang laughed heartily. This Boss Gu, even after a year apart, is still the same as before.
Gu Xin was already used to Uncle Gu, and took Gu Xiang from Uncle Gu's arms: "Xiangxiang, I'm your third sister! Xiangxiang has grown up so much, she's a whole size older than Yuanyuan!"
Madam Yang smiled and said, "Being born a few months earlier will naturally make you a bit bigger."
Uncle Gu was worried that Gu Xin would get tired carrying the child, so he offered to carry the child himself. But Gu Xin wasn't afraid of getting tired and led the way while carrying the child.
Uncle Gu had already gone inside to tell people that Fourth Uncle Gu and the others had arrived.
Gu Xin first took the child to see Grandpa and Grandma Gu, and then, after obtaining their consent, took Gu Xiang to Cai Xiaolian's room.
Cai Xiaolian had already heard from the wet nurse about the commotion outside, and was delighted to see Gu Xin bringing the child over.
As it happened, Gu Yuan was also awake, so she laid the two children in a crib, and then instantly, they started crying louder and louder.
Gu Xin was stunned. Everything was fine, so why did her two younger brothers suddenly start crying?
The wet nurse held Gu Yuan to comfort her, while Cai Xiaolian held Gu Xiang to comfort her, leaving Gu Xin standing helplessly by.
A moment later, Yang Xiaohuan came in, took the child from Cai Xiaolian with a embarrassed expression, and said with a smile, "This child, his voice is so loud."
Cai Xiaolian laughed and said, "Ours is the same. Sister-in-law, my little Ba is only a few months apart from your little Qi, so they can grow up together. The difference in the number of months between them is smaller than the difference in the number of months between Xin Xin and En Zi."
Yang Xiaohuan sat on the bed and asked about Cai Xiaolian's condition.
She learned from the letter that Cai Xiaolian had given birth prematurely, and she wanted to come and see Cai Xiaolian when Gu Xin came over.
As the two sisters-in-law were chatting, Zhang came in.
Zhang was a little envious and sighed, "How wonderful it would be if I were pregnant with all of you at the same time! Then we could have three children growing up together."
Cai Xiaolian: "Sister-in-law, if you work hard and have another son, just like Xinxin, Sisi, and Enzi, wouldn't that be similar?"
Zhang thought to herself, "That's right, she's only two years older than Cai Xiaolian, maybe it's okay to have another one!"
Okay, I'll make arrangements with his dad when I get back tonight.
Uncle Gu's family arrived. Cai Xiaolian was eager to finish her postpartum confinement. She wanted to talk to Grandpa Yang about making furniture, but unfortunately, she couldn't leave the house during her confinement, and Grandpa Yang, being a man, couldn't come in either.
Grandma Gu insisted that Cai Xiaolian stay in confinement for a full 42 days. She was born on the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, and she couldn't leave the house until the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month.
Finally, through Gu Shouxin's mediation, Cai Xiaolian was allowed to leave the house on the fifteenth of August. Any further, Grandma Gu would object.
Grandma Gu had no idea that there were such magical things as jade beads in the house. In her opinion, childbirth was like going through the gates of hell for a woman, so how could she not take good care of her body?
Once she's made up her mind, no one in the family can change it. Gu Shouxin is already considered quite capable for getting Cai Xiaolian three days ahead of schedule.
Then, on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 14th, the emperor's letter arrived.
In his letter, the emperor complained about Gu Shouxin, saying that he had already planned to have Gu Shouxin's son change his surname to Ye, but Gu's family had already chosen the name for him, and it would be unethical for him to forcibly change it.
Therefore, he gave Gu Shouxin an order: "Gu Lao Er, you must keep trying and keep having children. I want one of your sons to have the surname Ye, and it must be the surname Ye."
Gu Shouxin replied: Your Majesty, I will obey your decree and will certainly live up to your expectations.
He was surnamed Ye in his past life, and Grandpa Gu was also surnamed Ye, so it would be fine for him to have a son with the surname Ye.
However, neither he nor Grandpa Gu had considered this matter, but then the emperor came to force them.
He had to show his wife so she wouldn't complain of backaches and pains anymore; they were working hard on the emperor's orders.
Gu Shouxin started daydreaming again.
