Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 273 So Beautiful
The crackling sound echoed all night, near and far, and no one slept very well.

Even so, everyone was still full of energy after getting up in the new year.

In such a noisy environment, Zhizhi and Ruirui did not sleep well in the second half of the night. When they were about to get up, the children suddenly stopped whimpering, probably because Gu Yunyi had soothed them.

When Xu Qingmeng woke up, she changed Zhizhi and Ruirui's diapers and fed them. The two children were lying in the cradle with their big eyes wide open, looking around curiously.

Xu Qingmeng changed her clothes today; they were red ones that He Shi had given her a couple of days ago.

Ms. He said that as a new bride and her first New Year in the Gu family, she naturally had to dress in bright red, but not the kind of bright red or scarlet. The fabric was more casual, so she could wear it all the time after the New Year. Compared to Xu Qingmeng's previous style of dressing, today's outfit was more vibrant in color!
Xu Qingmeng even wore light makeup today, which made her look even more beautiful in this dress. You wouldn't guess that she's already a mother of two.

After tidying herself up, Xu Qingmeng hugged Zhizhi and said softly, "Baby, Happy New Year!"

As if she understood, Zhizhi waved her little hands and made babbling sounds. Ruirui was not to be outdone, kicking his little legs happily as well.

Xu Qingmeng carried Zhizhi herself and called for the nanny to carry Ruirui. After they walked out of the house, He Shi and the servants were all amazed!
Yun Sheng was also wearing new clothes, a festive bright red cotton-padded jacket, with two little pigtails, looking just like a lucky doll in a New Year's painting, very pleasing to the eye.

"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful! Zhizhi is a little beauty too, but I'm pretty too!"

"Yes, yes, you are all great beauties, especially you, the most beautiful in our family. But, beautiful lady, you're blocking your brother from seeing your sister-in-law," Madam He teased her son.

Gu Yunyi was embarrassed by what Madam He said, and his ears turned red, but he didn't look away from his wife at all.

Gu Yunyi looked at the person in front of him. In his memory, his wife had never worn brightly colored clothes; she was always plain and simple.

On the day Xu Qingmeng entered the family, she brought only a bag of clothes with her and entered without any ceremony. Now that I think about it, I really owe Mengniang a lot.

Xu Qingmeng had no idea what the man was thinking. She just saw him staring at her intently without blinking.

In front of her elders and so many servants, Xu Qingmeng's face immediately turned red.

Madam He and Old Madam Pei exchanged a smile, knowing that Xu Qingmeng was shy. Madam He waved her hand, telling everyone to go about their business.

Madam He took the child from her arms and played with Zhizhi with Old Madam Pei, while Pei Cheng and the old man played with Rui Rui.

Xu Qingmeng then tugged at Gu Yunyi's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Is it that good-looking?"

He gently took her hand and nodded with a smile: "Beautiful, my wife is different today, so charming, I wish I could..."

Seeing the burning passion in Gu Yunyi's eyes, Xu Qingmeng felt her face burning even hotter. She pushed him away, not wanting to pay him any attention.

In front of so many elders, telling such dirty jokes, even if it was whispered, would be heard by Mrs. He and the others. The child had already been born, but Xu Qingmeng still felt ashamed.

Gu Yunyi glanced at Xu Qingmeng's flushed cheeks and chuckled softly. Xu Qingmeng gave him a reproachful look.

However, Gu Yunyi didn't notice Xu Qingmeng's dissatisfaction at all; on the contrary, he found her even more charming.

After playing around for a while, Zhizhi and Ruirui got sleepy and were carried back by their nanny. Everyone had a simple breakfast. Next came the New Year's Day tradition: visiting relatives and friends to exchange New Year's greetings!
However, the Gu family doesn't have many relatives, and the prefectural city is quite far from Quan County. It's also the dead of winter, and the children are still young, so they are destined not to visit the Xu family for the New Year this year. But not long after the New Year, Zhizhi and Ruirui's 100th day will be approaching, and they will be able to see the Xu family.

Since He's maternal relatives, Old Master Pei and Old Madam Pei, were already in the Gu family, there was no need to visit them.

Gu Yunyi and his friends had already made plans: on the third day of the Lunar New Year, they would visit several families they were on good terms with, and on the fourth day, they would visit Gu Yunyi's teachers.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Old Master Pei will be returning to the capital. After all, he is still the head of the Pei family and cannot stay in the prefectural city forever. However, Old Madam Pei has said that she will not be leaving.

Grandpa Pei had no choice. He knew that his daughter was the regret of his life, and now that he had finally found her, she would definitely not leave.

Although the Gu family had not been in the city for long, Madam He got along very well with her neighbors. Even those who were jealous of Madam He and liked to gossip behind her back would not cause trouble during the New Year.

Neighbors interacting is perfectly normal, and the neighborhood is quite lively.

The Gu family prepared two large round bowls. One bowl contained melon seeds and peanuts, while the other was filled with sugar. When the neighbors came, they would grab some, crack open the melon seeds, eat the peanuts, and chat.

The happiest ones were the children, running from one end of the street to the other, their pockets full of candy.

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo weren't very familiar with each other, but Xiao Li's kids were. The two of them followed behind, went out after breakfast, and didn't return until noon. Their pockets were full.

Yun Sheng went even further, begging Madam He to make her a cloth bag, which was quite large and bulging with contents.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, He Shi went back to her parents' home. Her parents' home was there at that time. Xu Qingmeng also had her parents' home, but she couldn't go back at that time either, so it was the same as usual.

The Fang family didn't need to visit relatives; the two families would visit each other and chat, and the day would pass by quickly.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Yunyi carried the things that Madam He had prepared in the morning and first went to the home of Zhang Hanzhe, the Minister of Education, and then went to the home of Minister Kang in the afternoon.

In the evening, Gu Yunyi ate dinner at Master Kang's house. It wasn't until dinnertime that the servants from Master Kang's house came to inform him.

However, in front of the Kang family servants, Madam He was still very kind. After they left, she gave Gu Yunyi a good scolding.

"He's gotten a year older, but he's become more and more unreliable. He didn't even say he wasn't coming back sooner. So many people are waiting for him, and the food is getting cold."

"Alright, Yunyi isn't unaware of the gravity of the situation; something must have held him back," said Madam Pei.

"Mother, don't protect her!"

"Okay, okay, mother, don't say anything anymore."

Madam He was actually a little worried. After all, they had only been nodding acquaintances in the past, but Gu Yunyi was now just an ordinary scholar. The fact that he was invited to stay for dinner meant that, in addition to acknowledging her Yunyi, it must also be because of the Pei family.

However, considering the people at this table, it's obvious that Gu Yunyi is just a scholar. I wonder if Yunyi's relationship with the Pei family will make things difficult for him or make him suffer.

This is definitely a mother's mindset; no matter how old they are, they are still children in her eyes!
