However, just because the impression was a little better, it didn't mean that Gu Xiaolang really liked him. After all, with Gu Shaoyu, the person she "once had" in her mind, Gu Xiaolang still felt that no one was as good as her own brother.

Therefore, if Yan Sanlang really wants to win Gu Xiaolang's heart, he still has a long way to go.

Xing Zhao naturally understood that a forced melon is not sweet, so for Yan Sanlang, the best thing would be to make some progress little by little and melt the heart of his cousin Lang.

The banquet that day was lively and elegant, and by the evening, when everyone had left, Madam Gu and the others were exhausted.

"I used to think laughing was good, but now I feel like laughing too much makes my mouth sore."

Fourth Aunt said jokingly that not only did her mouth feel sore, but her throat was also a little sore.

After all, what she said today was almost as much as what she said at home in ten days or half a month. The aunt standing next to her was so tired that she sat down and drank tea to cool down.

Gu Xiaochun quite filially pressed her legs a few times, and unexpectedly she felt a lot better. She had seen this kind of situation many times when she was in the palace, so she didn't think it was a big deal.

Instead, he smiled and said to everyone.

"Later, granddaughter, help grandma, mother, and aunts to relax their muscles. I have found an old maid in the palace who has learned some massage skills. She is the best at relieving fatigue. Otherwise, I am afraid that you will be exhausted tomorrow."

Hearing this, the aunt started to brag about herself.

"Chun'er's skills are beyond reproach. She used to tap me here and massage me there in the yard. All my previous minor pains are gone. I'll let her try it on my mother-in-law and my brothers and sisters later."

"I'm jealous of what my sister-in-law said, but she's been busy entertaining guests all day, so don't let the child get tired."

Fourth Aunt only said one sentence, but her distress was obvious.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiaochun stepped forward, pinched Madam Gu's shoulders, and said with a smile.

"When my niece was working in the palace, it was even more tiring than this, so it's okay, Fourth Aunt, just sit down, I'll come over and help you relax your muscles in a while."

Hearing this, Fourth Aunt quickly spoke to the maid next to her.

"Hurry, hurry, this is a great opportunity to learn from the master. This is a skill that came from the palace. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you, Madam. You better open your eyes and see it."

She always spoke in an interesting way, so both the masters and servants were amused by her words.

Du Jingyi was no exception, but she had a very caring girl named Cherry by her side, so she didn't have to queue here. She then stood up and spoke to the elders.

"Brother Tai seems a little sleepy, so I'll take him back to rest first. He can come back to pay his respects to grandmother and aunts tomorrow."

"Okay, you've been busy all day, so you should get more sleep tomorrow. There's no need to rush here."

Old Madam Gu always felt sorry for her consecutive pregnancies, so she always took extra care of her.

After hearing what Madam Gu said, Du Jingyi did not stay for long. After paying his respects, he took Tai Ge'er back to Qiwuyuan.

Gu Shaoyu was not in the yard because he had other social engagements.

Du Jingyi was tired after a day's work and finally had a chance to rest. So after coaxing Tai Ge'er to sleep and handing him over to wet nurse Fu, he went to the ear room to take a bath and wash up.

Sitting in the bathtub, the warm water made her feel much more relaxed.

Yingtao was serving on the side, and there was also a maidservant sent by Old Madam Gu beside her, her name was Shuxiu, she was neat and well-behaved, about twenty years old.

Because Lizhu really couldn't leave and she was pregnant, so they sent this person over to help Yingtao take care of her.

She was gentle and respectful. Even though it was sent by the old lady, she would not show off in front of Cherry. She would always ask Cherry before taking any action, and would never try to steal the initiative.

Cherry also saw what a maid trained in a wealthy family was like, so when she looked at her, she always wondered if she could make more progress. So the two of them served Du Jingyi more attentively.

"Madam, it's almost time to get up."

Du Jingyi is pregnant and can't soak for too long, so Yingtao always keeps an eye on the time to prevent her from getting exhausted, which would be troublesome.

After they stood up, one of them was busy drying her hair while the other was busy applying gel to her. They worked together perfectly.

After the hair was half dry, Shuxiu brought out a gilded ball wrapped in cotton cloth, put some warm silver carbon in it, and dried Du Jingyi's hair bit by bit, carefully and gently.

She was so serious that even Du Jingyi chuckled and said.

"When Lizhu was here, I used to dry my hair with cloth. Your method is good. My hair is still warm after drying, which is comfortable."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam. Jinling City is hot and humid, not as dry as Sui'an City. So if I really want to dry it with this cloth, it will be time-consuming and laborious. This method will be faster, and I can save some time. I will massage your head so that you can relax."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Shuxiu has a unique way of serving his master.

She knows when to advance and when to retreat, never fights or competes, and always has some clever ideas in her mind. This is very worthy of learning for Yingtao and others. If she had not served Du Jingyi for a longer time, I am afraid Shuxiu would have been more adept at the position of the head maid.

The gel used for cherries was the one Du Jingyi had used when she gave birth to Tai Ge'er. It would not affect the fetus in her belly and could also keep her skin as tender and delicate as always.

Therefore, she was particularly careful when applying the lotion, and she also carefully applied it to easily overlooked areas such as elbows and heels.

Only after Du Jingyi was "marinated" did he stop and help her put on her inner clothes.

There was a bronze mirror in the ear room. After Du Jingyi finished washing up, he walked to the bronze mirror, turned left and right, looked at it, and then said to Yingtao.

"Look at my belly. Isn't it bigger than when I had Tai brother?"

Cherry looked at it carefully before speaking.

"Yes, a little, but it's probably because I gave birth to my second child. I've seen women in the countryside who have given birth to many children, and the flesh on their stomachs always becomes looser."

Du Jingyi sighed and said after hearing this.

“It’s really not easy to be a mother.”

The master and servant smiled at each other. It was just a casual talk, but Shuxiu, who was standing by, took a closer look and spoke hesitantly.

"Young Madam, this time, isn't it twins?"

Her words surprised both the master and the servant. It was obvious that they had never thought of such a possibility.
