My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 178 Good news!

"It's not a disease?" Chang An and Gu Li were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

"Of course not." Doctor Zhang stood up from his seat, bowed to Chang An and Gu Li, and said, "Congratulations, Marquis Dingkang, your wife is pregnant."

"Are...pregnant?" When Chang An heard the word, his mind went blank.

Doctor Zhang nodded and explained, "Loss of appetite, frequent fatigue and drowsiness, and nasal congestion. Although it sounds like the symptoms of a cold, the lady's pulse is stable and normal, and her complexion is ruddy, so she is not sick. Therefore, this should be a pregnancy."

"But if she's pregnant, shouldn't the pulse be able to be felt? Why is the pulse so steady?" Gu Li asked, looking at Chang An who was still "down" on the side.

"Madam, you are pregnant for the first time, so it is normal that you don't know." Doctor Zhang explained with a smile, "Generally, within the first month of pregnancy, you can't detect the pregnancy pulse, but there will be a small number of new mothers with weaker bodies who will have such symptoms like you."

"I have also received some patients like Madam before. When they came back a month later, they all showed signs of pregnancy. Therefore, I dare to judge that Madam is pregnant now."

At this time, Gu Li looked at Chang An standing beside him and called softly, "Chang Lang?"

"So... Doctor Zhang, to sum up everything you said, my mother Gu is not sick, but pregnant?" Chang An took two deep breaths and asked.

"That's right." Doctor Zhang nodded.

"Is Madam Gu pregnant?" Chang An sat next to Gu Li and asked while holding her hand.

"Yes!" Gu Li was also very happy at this time, "Chang Lang is going to be Aye!"

"I...I'm going to be an Aye?" Chang An's breathing suddenly became heavy at this time. He pulled Gu Li into his arms and touched her belly with his slightly trembling hands.

Doctor Zhang saw Chang An was so happy, even a little crazy, so he smiled and said, "Marquis Dingkang, don't get excited. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy and promote fluid production. You can take it once a day when you go back."

"Finally, I would like to congratulate Marquis Dingkang and his wife once again."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang..." Chang An reached for the pouch on his waist, took out a silver ingot, put it in Doctor Zhang's hand, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Doctor Zhang was also a man who knew the rules. He calmly put the silver ingot into his sleeve and said, "Marquis Dingkang, take the prescription and go get the medicine."

Huaiqin and Zhen'er were waiting anxiously in the lobby of the clinic, and finally waited until Chang'an and Gu Li came out. When they saw Chang'an's dazed expression, they hurried forward and asked with concern:

"Sir, what disease is Sanniang suffering from?"

Chang An calmed down and said, "Go home first, and we'll talk about it when we get home."

Huaiqin and Zhen'er were a little confused, but there was nothing they could do. Chang'an had given the order, so how could they disobey? So, they quickly got on the carriage and left the West Market.

In the carriage, Chang An held Gu Li in his arms, let her sit on his lap, and protected her very carefully. Huai Qin was really curious, so he asked, "Sir, what is the disease of Sanniang?"

"It's not a disease, it's not a disease at all." Chang An said with a smile, "Mother Gu is pregnant."

The two maids were also very surprised when they heard the news, and then their surprise quickly turned into joy: "Sanniang is pregnant! Sanniang is pregnant!"

Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke out from the carriage which originally had only four people in it.

After returning home, Chang An couldn't wait to carry Gu Li to the bedside and sat her down. Then he knelt in front of her and leaned over to put his ear on Gu Li's belly.

"Ah, Chang Lang, what are you doing?" Gu Li was shocked by his behavior.

"I want to hear what our little darling is doing!" Although Chang An has received modern biology education, this is the first time he has become a father in his two lifetimes. The excitement he feels is indescribable.

I was even so excited that I began to refuse to accept scientific common sense.

Gu Li was amused by him and said with a smile: "Xiaoguai is only ten days old, where did the noise come from?"

"There must be, there must be, I just can't hear it. Mother Gu asked me to listen carefully again." Chang An was still relentless and leaned over to listen again, causing Huaiqin and Zhen'er who were standing behind him to cover their mouths and laugh.

"Okay, okay, Chang Lang, stop making trouble." Although Gu Li said this, he still let him do it - what if he really heard some noise?

"By the way, Chang Lang, do you want to tell the elders about this?" Gu Li reminded again.

Chang An came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, tell father and Lao Taishan and the others."

"Um, Huai'er... No, no, Huaiqin, go next door and inform father. Zhenqin... Zhen'er, go get someone to prepare a carriage and tell Old Taishan and his family."

Seeing Chang An so excited that he couldn't speak clearly, Gu Li smiled. He originally thought it was an incurable disease, but now that he knew he was going to be a father, the nervous and suppressed heart turned directly into ecstasy, and such behavior was also very normal.

"Yes, son."

The two maids smiled and left the room. At this point, only Chang An and Gu Li were left in the room.

"Is Mother Gu happy?" Chang An knelt in front of Gu Li, holding Gu Li's hands with both of his hands, his eyes full of joy.

"I'm happy. This way, Chang Lang won't be criticized by the elders at home anymore." Gu Li shook his hand and said with a smile.

Chang An moved forward, and then wanted to stand up and kiss Gu Li, but found that he couldn't reach him. Gu Li saw his silly energy and laughed, "Why do you keep kneeling, Chang Lang? Can't you sit up?"

This sentence woke up Chang An, and he stood up, dusted himself off, and sat on the bed. He also held Gu Li on his lap so that he could kiss Gu Li on the mouth.

After a long while, Chang Wenmeng and Gu Ke came in. Gu Li, who was sitting in Chang An's arms and accepting his "rubbing", happened to see his mother Gu Su and shouted excitedly:

"Auntie!"

Chang An also loosened his hand and let Gu Li leave his arms. He just watched her run to Gu Su's front, and the three elders were so scared that they stretched out their hands to support her.

"Hey, Li'er, why are you in such a hurry? You're already pregnant." Gu Ke said with a smile.

Gu Su held Gu Li's hand and said with great satisfaction: "My Li'er is going to be my mother's now."

Chang An also followed with a smile, and Chang Wenmeng pointed at Chang An and said, "You are going to be a father now! You have to be more careful in the future. Don't go to the wine shop or anything like that. Do you hear me?"

Chang An also knew that Chang Wenmeng was reminding him, so he nodded slightly and said, "I understand, father."

"By the way, my dear son-in-law, have you thought of a name for the child?" Gu Ke also came to Chang An's side and asked him.

"Not yet. We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl, so just call her Xiaoguai first." Chang An said.

"Xiaoguai?" Gu Ke and Chang Wenmeng seemed to have never heard of such a nickname, because most of the nicknames at that time were like "Xiaobao".

Chang An nodded and said, "Mother Gu is not in good health. If the child makes a fuss in her belly, wouldn't that be unfair to her? So I gave the child the nickname 'Xiaoguai'. I hope he (she) can be well behaved in the next nine months."

"You're just messing around with all this nonsense." Chang Wenmeng also laughed and scolded, "By the way, have you informed Mr. Song?"

"Dr. Chang, what do you want me to do?"

At this time, Song Jing's voice came from the door. He was no longer the prime minister, but a civil official: Kaifu Yitong Sansi. Naturally, everyone's name for him changed from Prime Minister Song to Old Song and Song Sansi.

"Mr. Song."

"gentlemen."

Everyone present bowed and greeted Song Jing. Song Jing waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I'm no longer the prime minister. No need to be so polite."

"Just now I heard Dr. Chang say that he would inform me. What is he going to inform me of?"

"Sir, my wife is pregnant." Chang An replied with a smile.

Song Jing was also very surprised and said, "Is this a good news? Great! Great!"

Chang An smiled and said, "Today I plan to inform a few elders, I wonder if they can stay for dinner together? You can also come with me."

"This is a happy event, so there's nothing wrong with it." Song Jing said.

At this time, Gu Su also pulled Gu Li closer and asked, "My dear son-in-law, how long has Li'er been pregnant? She was shocked by your matter a while ago, and I'm afraid that she might have a miscarriage."

At this point, everyone around would think of Gu Li's situation that day, which frightened them. Their faces couldn't help but become a little solemn, fearing that the happy event would be in vain.

"It should be after that time," Chang An calculated the time and replied, "When we went to see the doctor just now, the doctor said that Gu Niang had only been pregnant for about ten days."

After hearing this, people breathed a sigh of relief. Then Gu Su continued, "Ten days, that's still early. My dear son-in-law, you must remember that within a hundred days of pregnancy, you must not tell outsiders about it casually."

According to ancient sayings, during the first three months of pregnancy, there is a fetal spirit controlling the fetus. If too many people know about the pregnancy, it may alarm the fetal spirit and make the fetus uneasy.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. Not many people will know about this." Chang An also thought about it in his mind, "At most, I will tell a few friends."

Gu Su nodded and said, "That's good."

"Yonghe, now that Li'er is pregnant, what do you plan to do first?" Chang Wenmeng asked at this time.

Chang An said without thinking, "Speaking of this matter, I would like to ask my father to go to the Imperial College for me tomorrow and ask for a day off."

"Ask for leave? What are you going to do?" Chang Wenmeng asked in confusion.

"At the end of last year, Gu Niang and I went to Guanyin Temple to make a wish. Gu Niang even prayed for a child, so we plan to go and fulfill that wish first," Chang An explained.
