"how come?"
Du Jingyi looked stunned, but Shuxiu said with a smile.
"Why not? The fourth lady in our house once gave birth to two brothers. They look very similar. When I first entered the house, I couldn't tell them apart."
Her words completely made Du Jingyi and Yingying suspicious.
It was said that the Du family had never heard of twins for three generations, and Du Jingyi had never heard of it in the Duke's Mansion for so long, so she didn't think about it at all.
If it hadn't been mentioned in today's book show, I'm afraid she wouldn't have even thought of going here.
Cherry looked worried, looking better than her young wife Du Jingyi, and then asked with some anxiety.
"But haven't these twins been... somewhat unlucky since ancient times?"
After hearing this, the scholar smiled and said comfortingly.
"Young Madam, don't worry. It would be a great thing if a general like us gave birth to twins. I remember that there was a plaque hanging in the courtyard of the Fourth Madam. It said "Ruizhang Liangyao". It was a gift from the late Emperor. The ones given to our Gu family are said to have given birth to two big, fat boys with healthy looks, which will bring glory to the family and bring good luck!"
After listening to her words, the master and servant felt relieved a lot.
As far as the people are concerned, it doesn't matter if they are a boy or a girl, but if they are twins, they will always cause some trouble. Therefore, Du Jingyi once heard that after giving birth to two children (especially the same sex), only one child will be exposed to the outside world. Will report one to ward off disaster.
The one who was left behind was naturally in pain, but the one who was given away had no idea what a hard life he was going to have, so no family was very happy to have twins.
Unless it's a son and a daughter, that might be better.
After all, it is based on the idea of dragon and phoenix presenting good fortune, so it will naturally be treated happily by the family.
"We're not sure yet. Let's not just keep it to ourselves. We'll just have to invite Dr. Tan to come and take a closer look in a few days."
"Yes, young lady."
Neither of them are talkative people, so they will not spread the news before it is confirmed.
After returning to the main house, Du Jingyi still hadn't fully digested the fact that he might have two children at the same time.
When Gu Shaoyu came back from socializing, he saw that she was a little dazed. He thought that something bad had happened to her, so he stepped forward and asked hurriedly.
"What's wrong?"
"The general is back."
"Well, why are you hanging out here alone?"
Du Jingyi thought for a while, if he didn't tell him about this matter, who should he tell it to, so he asked.
"General, did the fourth aunt give birth to two children?"
Gu Shaoyu hadn't heard anyone mention these two cousins for many years, so when Du Jingyi asked, he was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded and said.
"Well, Shaorui and Shaozhang are two years younger than me. When my fourth aunt gave birth to them, they received a plaque from the late emperor. Their names were taken from there to show the emperor's great favor."
After hearing this, Du Jingyi felt more at ease, but it was Gu Shaoyu's turn to feel a little unable to sit still.
"Why are you asking this suddenly? Could it be..."
Then he glanced at Du Jingyi's belly, a little disbelieving, and then said.
"There have been no twins in the Gu family for generations. The reason why the fourth aunt was able to give birth to the cousins was because her mother's family had twins, so we all know that they were passed down from the fourth aunt's family. You...can't be the same, right?"
After listening to Gu Shaoyu's explanation, Du Jingyi felt a little more sure, but now he was a little shaken, so he said with a wry smile.
"I feel that my belly is bigger than when I was pregnant with Brother Huai Tai, so Shu Xiucai mentioned this. I thought that if there were indeed twins in the Gu family, then it might be possible in this belly, but I heard the general Having said that, I’m not so sure.”
Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu pulled her clothes tighter. After taking a closer look, he also frowned at Du Jingyi, obviously agreeing with her words.
"It looks bigger. Tomorrow I will ask Luo Yuan to ask Dr. Tan to come over and he will take a look at it! He was the one who saved the fourth aunt's fetus at that time. Otherwise, the two cousins may not have much life. Seven The child who has just reached the moon has been worrying his grandparents for a long time."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi felt extremely complicated.
There is joy, worry, and fear... But these emotions all stem from the child's condition. She does not expect her child to be well-rounded in both civil and military skills, as long as he is healthy and happy.
Thinking of this, he gently touched his bulging belly with his hand.
Gu Shaoyu put his hand on hers, and then said comfortingly.
"Don't be afraid. We'll talk about it when Dr. Tan comes tomorrow. We won't do anything that scares us. Do you understand?"
"Well, I know."
Afterwards, Du Jingyi snuggled into Gu Shaoyu's arms. Maybe she was tired, or maybe she had too many complicated things in her heart. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
After Gu Shaoyu laid her down on the bed, he gently closed the door, walked out of Qiwu Courtyard, and went straight to Mrs. Gu's Qiude Courtyard.
It was already getting late, and Mrs. Gu had already fallen asleep to recuperate, but when she heard Nanny Qin outside saying that Gu Shaoyu was here, she got up and put on a coat to meet him.
"What's wrong? Come see me at this hour, but something happens?"
His tone was quite worried, and his eyes showed worry, and then he patted Gu Shaoyu on the shoulder.
And Gu Shaoyu didn't hide it, he opened his mouth and told Mrs. Gu that Du Jingyi might be pregnant with twins, and said with a serious expression.
"My grandson was afraid that Tangtang would be worried, so he temporarily tricked him. I remember my grandfather once said that he once had a pair of twin brothers, right?"
Mrs. Gu sighed after hearing this.
"Yes, it's a pity that my two younger brothers died shortly after they were born, and my mother-in-law was also very sad because of this. Her body and bones suffered a lot of problems due to the birth, so she left within a few years. , when she left, the master was only nine years old..."
Gu Shaoyu's mood is even more complicated at the moment. He is very unhappy about the situation of the twins. It would be fine if he could give birth to twins. But if something goes wrong during the birth, wouldn't it make him regret it for the rest of his life?
Suddenly, he even had other thoughts. If the child didn't want it, maybe Du Jingyi wouldn't suffer the consequences later. As he thought about it, his eyes became a little cruel.
When Mrs. Gu saw him like this, she immediately understood what he was thinking.
Patted him on the shoulder, and then said seriously. (End of chapter)
