Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

The eighth day of the first lunar month is Gu Yunji's 16th birthday.

Early in the morning, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Yunqiao, who was as pretty and lovely as a jade ball wrapped in snow, appeared in front of him: "Brother, happy birthday!"

As he said that, Gu Yunqiao held up a bowl of steaming noodles with a smile: "This is the longevity noodles I made myself, brother, try it?"

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao's nose was red from the cold, Gu Yunji's heart softened. He took the noodles, rubbed her head with his hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Qiaoqiao."

Sensing Gu Yunji's movements, Gu Yunqiao turned her head to hide, but the other party held her head down and rubbed her head harder and harder.After meticulously styling her hair all morning, she was messed up by Gu Yunji just like that.

Gu Yunqiao covered her hair with both hands, and glared at him: "Brother! I have grown up, please stop treating me like this with children!"

Only 12 years old, clearly a child.Gu Yunji didn't take it seriously, and responded perfunctorily: "Okay, Qiaoqiao has grown up and is a big girl. But no matter how old you are, you are still younger than me. You are still a child in front of your brother. What if I rub my head?"

Seeing that Gu Yunqiao was about to be displeased again, he hurriedly picked up a big mouthful of noodles and put them into his mouth as if to cover up, admiringly said: "Well—our Qiaoqiao is really good at crafting, the noodles look so clear, but the taste is so delicious Good! It really makes people want to swallow the bowl!"

Seeing that Gu Yunji was eating happily, Gu Yunqiao turned from anger to joy, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "It's good that brother likes it."

"It's strange why Ji'er hasn't come to have breakfast yet. It turns out that Qiaoqiao is so caring and has already made longevity noodles for my brother." Gu Kaizhen and Mrs. Wang walked over with smiles on their faces. The elders are also gratified from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ji'er, today is your 16th birthday, mother ordered someone to cut some new clothes for you." As she spoke, Mrs. Wang turned around and waved to the maidservant behind her, "Hurry up, bring it here, let us Ji'er have a look."

Mrs. Wang picked up a piece of clothing and shook it out, compared it to Gu Yunji's body, with a satisfied expression on her face: "Well, Ji'er has grown up now, and she has grown up, so it matches this dress now, look , How handsome! He is energetic and fit, what a handsome young man!"

Gu Yunji took a look at the clothes, and found that the fabrics were made of extraordinary workmanship. Just looking at them, he felt noble, which was much better than the ordinary clothes he used to have.Sure enough, as long as he emerges a little bit and shows outstanding abilities and talents, he can easily get the attention and attention of his family.

He ordered people to put away his clothes, smiled and bowed to Mrs. Wang: "Thank you, mother."

Gu Kaizhen also stepped forward, took out a good pair of four treasures of the study, and said: "I don't know what you like as a father, I'm afraid you don't like the gift I gave you. After much deliberation, I still think it's the most appropriate to give you writing utensils. I wish Ji'er auspicious birthday, may you always benefit from your studies, and win the first place in the scientific examination!"

Gu Yunji took it with both hands respectfully, and said: "Thank you, father. My parents were born and raised by me, and there is no need to give them any more. I gave me a birthday gift today because I love me. How can I not be grateful? No matter what Whatever the parents give, the son likes it."

Gu Kaizhen was very upset by his words. Seeing his cowardly and shy son grow into such a sensible look now, Gu Kaizhen was both moved and relieved, his eyes were already a little moist, and he stretched out his hand uncontrollably. Caressing Gu Yunji's shoulder:
"Our Ji'er, we have really grown up now, we know how to be grateful, and we don't have to worry about our father anymore..."

While talking, Gu Yunxiao and his wife and Gu Yunlin also came.

Zheng Xiuyun was seven months pregnant, her body was very heavy, and it was difficult to walk. Fortunately, Gu Yunxiao supported her waist the whole time, and her movements were gentle and careful, helping her to walk slowly step by step.

Seeing this, Gu Yunji quickly moved a chair for Zheng Xiuyun to sit down: "Sister-in-law is pregnant now, so she should rest and sit more. Don't tire sister-in-law by tossing around like this."

"It's okay, the doctor said, it's good for the child to walk around occasionally." Zheng Xiuyun took a few breaths, raised her head and said with a smile, "Besides, today is my third brother's birthday, so I'm here to say something about your birthday." Happy."

Zheng Xiuyun was originally beautiful and pleasant, but now she is pregnant, her whole body is shrouded in a soft maternal radiance, her temperament is very gentle.Gu Yunxiao stood quietly beside Zheng Xiuyun, never leaving her eyes, straightening her cuffs for a while, and brushing up the loose hair around her ears for a while, looking like a virtuous and exemplary husband.

Gu Yunji saw Gu Yunxiao's appearance in his eyes, and sighed that it is really different to be married and have a family.Gu Yunxiao's brows and eyes are now full of gentle smiles, as if his wife and children have filled his heart, and he no longer has the decadent air of failing the exam.

At this time, Mama Zhao, who was beside Mrs. Wang, walked in quickly from the outside. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but feeling the joyous atmosphere in the room, she was a little hesitant, not knowing how to speak .

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Mrs. Wang frowned, her tone a little impatient: "If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you don't say it, go out."

Mother Zhao glanced up at the few people in the room, walked forward and bowed to Mrs. Wang and Gu Kaizhen, and stammered: "Master, madam, Tweety... Tweety was born, a boy, mother and child are safe."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room froze instantly.

Last year, the incident between Gu Yunlin and Cui'er caused a stir in the entire Gu family, almost spreading the word and ruining the Gu family's reputation.Although it was handled properly in the end, everyone in the Gu family didn't have a good impression of this Cui'er, and they didn't want to hear about her. That's why Zhao's mother was so entangled just now. She was afraid that she would speak out at this moment. Ruined the interest of the masters.

After a long while, Mrs. Wang said coldly: "When it's born, it's born. Bring the baby back. You should ask the nanny to ask the nanny. You can prepare whatever you need. Do you need me to teach you?"

"Yes, ma'am." Zhao's mother hurriedly responded, and then she was ready to go out.

"Wait." At this time, Gu Kaizhen stopped her, "Although this child's biological mother and background are not glorious, but after all, it is the blood of my Gu family, and he is a male, so he still needs a name to facilitate the family tree."

As he said that, he glanced at Gu Yunxiao and his wife intentionally or unintentionally, and said slowly: "If you follow the genealogy, it is the generation of the Zhao character. From the side of the gold character, this is also the eldest grandson of our family. As we said in advance, it is called—" —Gu Zhaoqin."

Mrs. Wang's face paled immediately, and she quickly persuaded: "Master, it's not appropriate. We decided on the word Qin early in the morning. Although this child is indeed the first of the grandchildren, if we really want to talk about Gu's parents and grandchildren, it is natural It still has to be the child in Xiuyun's womb to be the most qualified to use this as a name. A child who is in the same house, I am afraid that he is not worthy of it?"

Hearing this, Gu Kaizhen sighed, how could he not know that this was inappropriate.But he is the head of the family, no matter what, he has to put on a show first, and then talk about whether it is okay or not.Now that Mrs. Wang has spoken to persuade him, he has changed his words in good faith: "That's what you said, so let's change the word."

With that said, Gu Kaizhen looked at Gu Yunlin in the corner: "Second brother, you are his biological father, so you come and give him a name."

Gu Yunlin rolled his eyes undisguisedly, and said with some disgust: "I won't take it! I didn't want to give birth to him at the beginning, but now I'm asked to be a father. Why? If I really want to take it, then Just Gu Zhaotong and Gu Zhaotie! Anyway, I can’t think of any good words!”

"You!" Gu Kaizhen was so angry that he almost didn't come up, his face flushed.

"Father." Gu Yunji said at the right time, drawing everyone's attention to himself, "Why don't I come and name my little nephew?"

Sensing the doubts and inquiries in the eyes of the people around him, he smiled slightly: "This child was born on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and I was born on the same day as me, so it is also a predestined relationship. Why don't we call it—Gu Zhaoming?"

"The inscription is the words cast and engraved on the utensils. Some inscriptions are praises, and some are admonitions. When they are used as names, they also have the meaning of brilliance, which is considered a good word."

There is another implication, which Gu Yunji did not say.That is, Ming can also be composed of words to remember, which means never forgetting.I hope he can take his parents as a warning, not to belittle himself, to work hard, to be a promising and responsible good person.

After a moment of silence, Gu Kaizhen made a final decision: "Okay, I'll call you Gu Zhaoming."

He looked around majestically, half reminding and half warning: "Gu Zhaoming is the second son's son, my grandson, and the blood of my Gu family is dripping on his body. He must have everything he should have, and no one should treat him harshly. Don't even think about humiliating and insulting him, but you understand?"

Everyone bowed their heads in unison: "Understood."
