It was just after the Spring Festival of another year. As the daughter and son-in-law of Duke Anguo, Gu Shichu and Mingxun had to go back to visit relatives. She was already six months pregnant at this time, but she exercised enough every day, so she only had a belly. The body is bulging, the limbs are still slender, and the body is flexible.
The other married ladies in Duke An Guo's mansion also came back with their husbands and children, and the mansion became very lively for a while.
Because we were all in the same group, we did not sit at separate tables. The whole family only sat at two or three tables.
"Can third sister eat fish when she's pregnant? I heard that women can't even smell fish when they're pregnant..." Gu Shiyao's somewhat bitter voice rang out. Looking at her, Gu Shichu felt that she had lost weight. He looked a little embarrassed, his eyes were even more cruel, and his whole person looked bitter and mean.
"Sister, who did you listen to? You've never been pregnant." Gu Shichu said to her with a smile. Gu Shiyao is getting more and more crazy now, and she wants to go against Gu Shichu in everything she does.
When Gu Shiyao heard her words, her expression suddenly changed: "You! What do you mean? Are you mocking me for not being able to have children?"
"Could you have given birth? Then why haven't you given birth yet?" Gu Shichu looked at her with innocent eyes and asked angrily.
Sure enough, Gu Shi Yao turned green with anger. She has been married to Tang Buqing for more than five years, but she still has not been pregnant. Tang's mother was even more dissatisfied with her because of this matter. She did not know how many times she had been embarrassed, and even she Zhou's biological mother was also worried about her and often urged her to see a doctor and take medicine to recuperate her body, in order to give birth to a child as soon as possible.
But her relationship with Tang Buqing was very bad and they almost didn't have sex. How could she get pregnant? She knew that it was best for her to give birth to the child as soon as possible, and she tried hard to please Tang Buqing for this reason, but Tang Buqing rarely disliked her and didn't want to pay attention to her at all. No matter how hard she tried, it was to no avail, and the child would not be born out of thin air.
But it happened that her rival Gu Shichu got pregnant successfully. Gu Shichu got married in the same year as her. It turned out that she had not gotten pregnant after seeing Gu Shichu get married for several years, and she had even gloated about her misfortune, but she never expected that, She suddenly became pregnant in ancient times. Why wasn't she jealous? Why are some people so lucky?
"I just want to ask the third sister if she has any secret recipe. After all, you haven't been pregnant in the past five years..." Gu Shiyao had to force a smile and said. She was living a difficult life in the Tang family and finally learned how to do it. He swallowed his anger and knew that he couldn't win by directly confronting Gu Shichu, so he decided to take a roundabout way.
"Before, I thought I was too young to have a baby. Now that I'm twenty, it's the right time, so I naturally got pregnant. As for what's the secret recipe? I guess it's to eat well, play well, and be in a good mood?" Gu Shichu said with a meaningful smile to Gu Shiyao.
"Third sister, forget it if you don't want to say it. Why use these words to deal with me?" Gu Shiyao said with a fake smile, making it clear that she didn't believe what Gu Shichu said.
"I didn't deal with you. If you don't believe me, just ask Mingxun." Gu Shichu said.
Mingxun was picking out fish bones for her. When he heard his name, he quickly asked, "What are you asking me?"
"I asked you if you didn't want to have a child so early before." Gu Shichu said to him with a smile.
Mingxun moved the plate of snow-white fish in front of her and said to Gu Shiyao: "Yes, I really didn't want to have children too early. On the one hand, I like to eat, drink and have fun. I haven't thought about how to do it." Be a good father; on the one hand, my body is still young, and it is true that I have not grown up enough to be a mother."
When Gu Shiyao heard what he said, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She turned to look at her husband beside her, only to see that Tang Buqing didn't seem to be interested in the topic between them at all. He only lowered his head and counted the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks. , looking like he was eager to end the meal as soon as possible so that he could leave as soon as possible.
She was immediately furious. Now that she was in Anguo Gongfu, her natal family, couldn't Tang Buqing just pretend to maintain some superficial harmony and intimacy with her?
Didn’t you see that Ming Xun personally picked fish bones for Gu Shichu? Could it be that Duke Anguo’s mansion couldn’t find a maid to pick out fish bones for people? No, Ming Xun took action himself to show that he valued and doted on his wife.
Gu Shi Yao only felt like a joke. She was obviously the most prosperous and happiest when she was not married, but now, whether it is Gu Shi Chu or several other concubines and cousins, they all live better than her, one by one. When the landlord brought his daughter back, they were all lively and happy. Only she and Tang Buqing had cold faces, as if they owed each other millions of money. Everyone could see that there was no relationship between them. and.
Zhou had reminded them several times, but Tang Buqing didn't want to cooperate, so they were embarrassed.
Although Ming Xun was still not an official with real power, no one would underestimate him. Even Gu Taoxing treated him much more enthusiastically than before. Tang Buqing couldn't bear to see Ming Xun being treated so kindly by Gu Taoxing. I always envied him.
You don't have to work hard to climb up, you can already have fame and fortune, and you can leave your name in history. What a blessing! What's more, he has both parents, brothers and sisters, and a harmonious relationship between husband and wife. It seems that all the good luck in the world is concentrated on him. Tang Buqing can't help but be jealous. If he is such a dandy, He also wants to be...
Ming Xun didn't know that Tang Buqing was envious of him. At this moment, he just wanted to return to Gu Shichu as soon as possible and end the nonsense with Gu Taoxing.
Gu Tao He made peace with Gu Shi Yao and had a child as soon as possible.
Because of the bad relationship between their husband and wife, Gu Taoxing was very dissatisfied with him, so he could not help but reveal it in the officialdom. As a result, Tang Buqing, who was already struggling because of Gu Shiyao's grudges and enmity with his colleagues and the female relatives of his boss, became even more difficult to endure. .
The biggest reason why Tang Buqing's career was hindered was Gu Shiyao. He should please her. Even if he hated her, he had to make peace with her for the sake of his future. However, Gu Taoxing's persecution and Gu Shiyao's dragging behavior gave him a child. With a rebellious heart, he gritted his teeth and persisted, refusing to compromise.
So they were in a stalemate, and the couple couldn't even maintain their original appearance of being in harmony, and they just fell out.
Gu Shi Yao watched the Qiyang Duke's Mansion flourishing. Gu Shichu and Ming Xun both gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the family was happy. However, her life with Tang Buqing was like a pool of stagnant water, and they disliked each other. .
Ten years after they got married, Gu Shiyao still failed to give birth to a child. Tang's mother couldn't bear it anymore and directly took her nephew's daughter from her hometown and made Tang Buqing her concubine.
In ancient times, Yao returned to Anguo Duke's mansion and cried, but Anguo was wronged. Who could make his daughter unable to have children? So he acquiesced to Tang Buqing's behavior of taking concubines.
After Gu Shi Yao put all his energy into the struggle in the back house, he made Tang Buqing's backyard a mess and became a joke in the capital. If he can't even manage his own family, how can others believe that he can manage important affairs of the court? ? As a result, Tang Buqing gradually became a fringe official who was frustrated and had no chance of becoming the prime minister in this life.
