Chapter 273 So Beautiful
There were crackling sounds all night long, some far away and some near, and no one slept well.
Even so, the new year brings new hope, and everyone is still full of energy when they get up.
In such a noisy environment, Zhizhi and Ruirui did not sleep well in the second half of the night. When they wanted to get up in a daze, the child suddenly stopped humming. They thought it was because Gu Yunyi coaxed him.
When Xu Qing woke up from his dream, he had changed the diapers of Zhizhi and Ruirui and fed them. The two children were now lying in the cradle with their eyes wide open, looking around curiously.
Xu Qingmeng changed her clothes today. They were red ones that He brought to her two days ago.
He said that she was a new bride and it was her first New Year in the Gu family, so naturally she had to wear something bright and colorful. However, not bright red or crimson. The material should be something more everyday that she could wear even after the New Year. Compared with Xu Qingmeng's previous dressing style, the colors of today's outfit were brighter!
Xu Qingmeng put on some light makeup today. The dress made her look even more beautiful. You couldn't tell at all that she was already the mother of two children.
After Xu Qingmeng tidied herself, she hugged Zhizhi and said softly, "Baby, it's New Year!"
Zhizhi seemed to understand. She waved her hands and made babbling sounds. Ruirui was not to be outdone and also kicked his legs happily.
Xu Qingmeng held Zhizhi herself and called the nanny to hold Ruirui. After they walked out of the house, He and others as well as the servants in the house were all amazed!
Yun Sheng was also wearing new clothes, a festive bright red cotton-padded jacket with two little pigtails on it, making her look like the lucky dolls in New Year pictures, very adorable.
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful! Zhizhi is also a little beauty, but I am also beautiful!"
"Yes, yes, you are all beauties, especially you, you are the most beautiful in our family. But, beautiful girl, you are blocking your eldest brother from looking at your sister-in-law." He looked at her son and joked.
Gu Yunyi felt embarrassed by what He said and his ears turned red, but his eyes did not move away from his wife at all.
Gu Yunyi looked at the person in front of him. In his impression, his wife had never worn brightly colored clothes and was always plain.
The day Xu Qingmeng entered the house, she just brought a bag of clothes with her, without any ceremony. Now that I think about it, I really owe Meng Niang a lot.
Xu Qingmeng didn't know what the man was thinking. He just stared at her without blinking.
In front of the elders and so many servants, Xu Qingmeng's face turned red all of a sudden.
Mrs. He and Mrs. Pei smiled at each other. Knowing that Xu Qingmeng was shy, Mrs. He waved her hand and told everyone to do what they were supposed to do.
He took the child in her hands and teased Zhizhi with Old Madam Pei, while Pei Cheng and the old man teased Ruirui.
Xu Qingmeng then tugged at the corner of Gu Yunyi's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Is it so beautiful?"
He gently held her hand, smiled and nodded: "It looks good, my lady is different today, very charming, I wish I could..."
The heat in Gu Yunyi's eyes made Xu Qingmeng feel her face getting even hotter. She pushed him away and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
In public, with so many elders present, telling such dirty jokes, even if it was in a whisper, He and the others could hear it. The child had already been born, but Xu Qingmeng still felt ashamed.
Gu Yunyi looked at Xu Qingmeng's red cheeks and laughed softly. Xu Qingmeng gave him a strange look.
But in Gu Yunyi's opinion, he didn't notice Xu Qingmeng's dissatisfaction at all, but felt that it was even more charming.
After making a lot of noise for a while, Zhizhi and Ruirui felt sleepy and were carried back by the nanny. Everyone had a simple breakfast.
Next comes the custom of the first day of the Lunar New Year, visiting relatives and friends to wish a happy new year!
However, the Gu family has few relatives, the capital is far away from Yan County, it is winter now, and the children are still young, so they are destined not to visit the Xu family for New Year's greetings this year. However, not long after the New Year, Zhizhi and Ruirui will be 100 days old, and they will be able to see the Xu family.
He's family, Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei, are at Gu's house, so there is no need to visit them.
Gu Yunyi and the others had already made up their minds. On the third day of the New Year, they would visit a few friends' homes, and on the fourth day, they would visit Gu Yunyi's teachers.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Mr. Pei will return to the capital. After all, he is still the head of the Pei family and it is impossible for him to stay in the capital forever. However, Mrs. Pei said that she will not leave.
Old Master Pei had no choice but to do so. He knew that his daughter was her lifelong regret. Now that he had finally found his daughter, she would definitely not leave.
Although the Gu family has not been in the capital for long, He's family gets along very well with their neighbors. Even if there are some who are jealous of He's family and like to gossip behind their backs, they will not cause trouble during the New Year.
It is normal for neighbors to move around and it is very lively.
The Gu family prepared two large round bowls, one filled with melon seeds and peanuts, and the other filled with sugar. When the neighbors came, they would grab some, crack the melon seeds, eat peanuts, and chat.
The happiest ones were the children, running everywhere with their pockets filled with candies.
Yun Sheng and Yun Mo were not very familiar with each other, but they were familiar with the children of Xiao Li's family. The two of them followed behind, went out after breakfast, and did not come back until noon. Their pockets were full.
Yun Sheng was even more exaggerated. She begged He to make her a cloth bag, which was not small and was bulging with things.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He's parents' home was there. Xu Qingmeng also had her own parents' home, so she couldn't go back at this time. It was just like usual.
The Fang family didn't need to visit relatives. The two families just dropped by and chatted, and the day passed by.
On the third day of the New Year, Gu Yunyi carried the things that He had prepared early in the morning and went to the home of Academician Zhang Hanzhe first, and then went to the home of Kang in the afternoon.
In the evening, Gu Yunyi had dinner at Lord Kang's house. When it was time for dinner, the servants from Lord Kang's house came to notify him.
However, in front of the Kang family's servants, He was still very kind. After they left, she started to scold Gu Yunyi.
"He's getting older, but he's becoming less and less reliable. He didn't come back and didn't tell me earlier. So many people are waiting for him, and the food is already cold."
"Okay, Yun Yi is not unaware of the seriousness of the matter. He must have been held up by something." Mrs. Pei said.
"Mom, stop protecting me!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."
In fact, He was still a little worried in her heart. After all, they were just nodding acquaintances in the past, but Gu Yunyi was just an ordinary scholar now. The fact that he was invited to stay for dinner must have something to do with the Pei family, in addition to the recognition of her Yunyi.
But thinking about the kind of people at this table, they all knew that Gu Yunyi was just a scholar, and they didn't know the relationship between Yunyi and the Pei family. Would they make things difficult for him or get bullied?
This is of course the mentality of a mother. No matter how old the child is, he is still a child in her eyes!
