Chapter 148 Hearts are far apart
Before daybreak, the people in Uncle Ruyang's mansion were already busy.
"Everyone has to work harder at the work at hand. After today, there will be a reward from above." The steward said more than once.
"I know, I know, even if there is no reward, we are happy." Everyone said with a smile, "What a happy event this is, we will all feel happy."
"Hey, you're right. Now the people in our house are looked down upon wherever they go."
Wen Mingqian naturally got up early to greet Gong Changan's teacher. As a mother, she naturally had to do her best.
But Ma Pingan came in and said: "There are small things outside, and there is Zhang Ma in the kitchen at the back. You just need to sit there and make up your mind. Don't worry about the rest."
Zhang's mother also said: "Yes, the weather is cold, so I won't go outside if I can. Besides, you can spend more time with the young master, right?"
"Sister Zhang, come here and take a look. What kind of snacks are we going to prepare today? If there are insufficient ingredients, we can ask someone to buy them." Zhu's mother hurried in and said.
Mother Zhang didn't care to talk to Wen Mingqian anymore and hurriedly followed Mother Zhu out.
Then Congratulations to Gong Xu and Shi Ran walked in. Yunying brought a little girl to follow him.
Yunying asked with a smile: "There is a big event in the house today. I came here to ask Madam if there is any work assigned to me?"
"Why are you getting up so early?" Wen Mingqian asked, "You are pregnant now, and you must take good care of yourself. The first three months are the most important, but you can't be careless. Although there is something going on in the house, there are also a lot of people, and Besides, there are not many guests.
It’s easy to fall asleep at this time, and you’ll feel uncomfortable if you get up so early. ”
Yunying had been feeling unwell a few days ago and asked a doctor to see her. She was already more than a month pregnant.
Wen Mingqian specially ordered the people who followed her to take good care of her. He also sent a lot of supplements from his room and told her to take care of her baby with peace of mind. Just ask for whatever you want to eat and use, and make sure the child lands safely.
Yunying was grateful to Wen Mingqian from beginning to end. Having a child meant that she would have someone to rely on in the future, something she would never have dared to think about a few years ago.
"Strange to say, I'm not a big sleeper." Yunying said with a smile, "But I'm quite greedy. Especially when I see others eating, I want to eat right away."
"It's a blessing to be able to eat well. There's no shortage of food for you in the house. Whatever you want to eat, just ask the kitchen to cook it. If the house can't make it at the moment, go out and buy it." Wen Mingqian said, "But you must also remember other things. Eat too much, otherwise the fetus will be too big to be delivered.”
Gong Xu is also a person who is in high spirits during happy events. He had already applied for leave from the Yamen yesterday.
Before going to bed, he specifically asked Yunying to find him some clothes to wear this morning, a light blue jacquard silk robe, which would make him look several years younger.
He was very satisfied with Gong Changan's affairs. When he returned to the mansion last night, he stayed up late talking and laughing with Mrs. Gong.
Still dissatisfied, he asked someone to prepare wine and food, hoping to have a drink and talk with Wen Mingqian.
Wen Mingqian ignored him. He just said that he was tired and wanted to take a rest early, so he took Zhang Ma and Sang Er back to the room.
Gong Xu had no choice but to order people to put the food and wine in the study and drink it slowly by himself.
After getting excited, he finally ordered Gong Chang'an to be called over, and he let the child go back to sleep until late at night.
Gong Changan was so sleepy that he couldn't lift his head. This day had already been very energy-consuming, so he fell on the bed when he got back and still hasn't woken up yet.
Gong Xu looked around, but didn't see Gong Chang'an, so he immediately asked: "Is Chang'an not up yet? It's not okay to be so lazy. Why don't you wake him up quickly? Are all my words last night in vain?" "It's still early, let him sleep a little longer! If the masters are coming, they will have to arrive before noon. It won't look good if he looks sleepy by then, so it's better to let him get enough sleep." Wen Mingqian showed a warm tone. In fact, he didn't take Gong Xu's words to heart at all.
She understands why the White House is doing this.
Gong Changan was raised by himself alone from birth to the age of seven. The Gong family, including Gong Xu, ignored the child.
Now that Gong Changan is so promising, Gong Xu wants to do his best to show that he, as a father, has also fulfilled his teaching responsibility to him.
He didn't necessarily do it to show off to others, but he definitely wanted to feel less guilty when talking about his son in the future.
When Gong Xu heard what Wen Mingqian said, he couldn't refute her, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Wen Mingqian respected himself very much on the surface, but in his heart he was not close to him at all.
Of course he didn't want this. He knew that Gong Changan was closer to his mother, and Wen Mingqian's attitude towards him would naturally affect him.
He felt that he was wronged. He had obviously tried his best to show that he wanted to reconcile with Wen Mingqian, but she was always so lukewarm towards him.
So these days, he has a deeper understanding of what the sage said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
"I'm going to the east courtyard to see the old lady." Wen Mingqian stood up and said, "Do you want to go with me, sir?"
She invited Gong Xu just because she didn't want him to stay in her room too long, because in her heart Gong Xu had already lost this qualification.
Gong Xu was very happy to be invited and responded with a smile: "Okay, let's go see the old lady together."
The fact that Gong Changan was selected into the Three Paths Academy was enough to make Gong Xu happy for a while, so any minor unhappiness would be over in a flash.
What's more, Wen Mingqian's proactive show of kindness also gave him a step forward.
"Yunying, please come with us! You are pregnant now. The old lady will be happy to see you." Wen Mingqian called Yunying again with a smile.
Gong Xu's originally bright face couldn't help but darken.
Arriving at Mrs. Gong's yard, Mrs. Xu happened to come out of the house and saw Wen Mingqian and Gong Xu. She smiled and said hello.
Then he said to Yunying: "Aunt Yun's face looks really good. People say she looks good and is pregnant with a daughter. Yesterday, the old lady also said that it would be great if Aunt Yun could give birth to a daughter. It’s been a long time since we had a daughter in our house.”
"I'm also looking forward to her giving birth to a daughter." Gong Xu said, "A daughter is caring, so Chang'an should also have a sister."
"Are we here early? Has the old lady gotten up?" Wen Mingqian asked.
"I just got up, and I was preparing to ask them to pass breakfast." Xu's mother said, "Second Master, Second Madam, come in quickly."
At this time, Mrs. Gong had already heard the noise outside and said, "Who is outside? Come in quickly! It's very cold early in the morning."
Wen Mingqian and others quickly agreed and went in, greeted the old lady and talked for a while.
When breakfast was served, Webster also came to serve it.
Wen Mingqian said that he still had a lot of things to do over there, so he left with an excuse.
