Chapter 98: Return to the Maiden Home
早上五点左右，她就醒了，轩辕应睁开眼睛，眸子精光一闪，瞬间收敛了起来。
Around five or six in the morning, she woke up. Xuanyuan Ying opened his eyes, his pupils flashed and he immediately returned to his position.
“咦？又有进步？”顾云兰诧异的看着他，自己一个晚上，似乎什么进展也没有。
“Yi? You’ve progresse again?” Gu Yunlan looked at him in astonishment. In that one night, she herself seemed to have made no progress at all.
轩辕应点点头站起身，对她伸出手笑道，“你也别急，先把基础打好！走吧！先回去！”
Xuanyuan Ying nodded his had and stood up, reaching his hand out to her with a smile, “No need to rush, make your foundations stable first! Let’s go! Return first!”
顾云兰顺势站了起来，轩辕应揽住她，两人瞬间消失不见。
Gu Yunlan immediately stood up. Xuanyuan Ying took ahold of her and the two disappeared from sight in a flash.
在院子里，他放开她，转身朝自己的房间走去，“你去睡会吧，时间还早，我换身衣服，要去军营了！”
In the courtyard, he let go of her. He turned around and headed into his own room, ”Go take a nap first, it’s still quite early. I’ll change my clothes then head to the army barracks!”
“轩辕！”顾云兰在身后喊了声他，“下午，我也去军营训练如何？”
“Xuanyuan!” Gu Yunlan called out to him from behind, “In the evening, should I go to the army camp to train too?”
他说的不错，她太心急了，她的体质太差，想去军营训练训练！
He was right, she’s too rushed. Knowing her physique was lacking so much, she wanted to go to the camp and train!
轩辕应顿住脚，嘴角勾起，“欢迎之至！”
Xuanyuan Ying halted, the corners of his mouth hooked up, “You’re very welcome to come!”
看着他进屋的背影，顾云兰有那么一刻，觉得自己的选择没错，点点还没化茧，她没有对付白琳珑的武器，现在只能提升自己！
Watching as he entered the room, Gu Yunlan felt for a moment that she chose very wisely. Diandian hasn’t left the cocoon yet so she has no weapon to go against Bai Linlong. She could only rely on herself now!
进了屋后，她没有如轩辕应所讲去睡觉，而是换了身衣服，走向了书房。
After entering the room, she didn’t go to sleep as Xuanyuan Ying did. Rather, she changed her clothes and went to the study room.
书房有些冷，她搓了搓手，调动羽力游走着全身，瞬间身子暖和了。
The study room was rather cold. She rubbed her hands together and used her Yu Force to wrap around her entire body. Her body warmed up instantly.
她能帮轩辕应做的事情不多，她的记性虽然好，却无奈见识不广，帮他画不了军事图，只能勉强的画几个前世出现的枪支，一年前，她有画过，不过那时候只画好一个，却没有零散的零件，她现在想把那零件画出来，也许对轩辕有用。
There aren’t many things she can do to help Xuanyuan Ying. Despite having a good memory, it couldn’t be helped that she simply hasn’t experienced enough and can’t help with drawing a military map. She could only try her best in drawing some of the firearms from her previous life. A year ago she did draw some, but at that time she only completed one drawing since she didn’t have a particular purpose for it. Now, she wanted to take it out; perhaps it’ll be of some help to Xuanyuan Ying.
想到就行动，雷厉风行这是顾云兰一向的作风，她直接走到书桌前坐了下来，在笔筒里，拿起她作图所用的炭笔，铺好纸张，开始细心描画着。
She acted out her plan; Gu Yunlan is currently highly determined and motivated. She directly walkted to the desk and sat down. From the brush case, she took out all the material needed to draw a diagram, prepared the paper, and started to carefully draw.
半个小时后，她放下笔，满意的看着自己的成就，卷了起来后，直接收进了小储物袋。
A half hour later, she put down her brush and looked at her results in satisfaction. After rolling it up, she directly stored it away into her pouch.
看着桌上的宣纸，她的脑海猛的浮现昨天傍晚两人的场景，她坐在他怀里，仰着脸，他低着头，两人定定的看着。
Seeing the rice paper on the tabletop, she immediately remembered the scene of the two people together last night. She sat in his embrace looking upwards as he looked down at her. The two stared at each other unwaveringly.
神出鬼差的，她慢慢拿起笔开始描画了起来，直到最后落笔，她才回过神，看着桌上的宣纸一愣，自己居然不自觉的就画出了两人的肖像，只是看到她画出两人的姿势时，有些不自然的移开脸。
With a renewed purpose, she slowly took up her pen and started drawing. Only after she put down her pen did she leave her trance. She was startled upon seeing the rice paper on the table. Unconsciously, she drew the likens of the two people. Seeing the unnatural beauty of both figures, she awkwardly shifted away her gaze.
“小姐！你在书房么？安小姐过来拜年了！”欣儿的声音在门外轻声问道。
“Young Miss! Are you in the study room? Miss An is here to give her New Year’s greetings!” Xin’er called out softly from outside the door, asking.
“让他们去客厅等着，我马上过去！”顾云兰回过神，把宣纸仔细的折好一把收进了储物袋，把储物袋藏好才慢慢的站起身。
“Let them wait in the guest room, I’ll be out soon!” Gu Yunlan snapped back to consciousness. She took the rice paper carefully and stored it away into her pouch, after which she started to slowly stand up.
顾云兰捂着手炉慢慢的朝客厅走来，天气有些阴沉，希望不要下雪才好，她下午还想去军营呢！
Gu Yunlan held onto the hand warmer as she headed towards the guest room. The weather was rather cloudy, and she hoped that it wouldn’t snow. She had planned on going to the barracks later in the evening!
“姐姐！”看到顾云兰走进来的身影，安姣娜连忙放下茶杯，起身迎了过去，“娜娜给你拜年了！”
“Big Sister!” Seeing Gu Yunlan’s approaching figure, An Jiaona immediately put down her cup of tea and rose to welcome her, “Nana is here for the New Year’s greeting!”
“妹妹多礼了！”顾云兰回过神，朝她笑道，径直在上首坐了下来，才发现居然只有她一个人，她随手拿起欣儿倒好的茶，问道，“咦？妹夫呢？第一次回娘家拜年，他怎么让你一个人来？”
“Little Sister is too polite!” Gu Yunlan focused her attention and smiled towards her. She directly sat down at the head. Only then did she notice that An Jiaona was the only one there. She casually took the cup of tea Xin’er poured, asking, “Yi? Where’s my brother-in-law? He makes you come alone the first time returning to the maiden home for the New Years greeting?”
“姐姐！锦哥哥他，他去军营了，听说有急事！”安姣娜眸子含笑，似乎很是自豪。
“Big Sister! Big Brother Jin is at the barracks, I heard there’s some emergency there!” An Jiaona’s pupils held a smile, as if she was truly proud.
顾云兰斜了她一眼放，就高兴了？杨锦现在是夜夜笙歌，估计以后估计有她安姣娜哭的，她放下茶杯，笑道，“妹妹！今日父亲也不在府内，我们直接去宗族吧！”
Gu Yunlan glanced at her sideways, she’s happy because of that? Yang Jin is currently enjoying his night life. An Jiaona will probably end up crying in the future. She put down her teacup, saying with a smile, “LIttle Sister! Father isn’t here tonight either, let’s directly go
“是！”安姣娜娇羞的点点头。
“Yes!” An Jiaona nodded her head loveably.
顾云兰看了她一眼，起身率先朝外走去。
Gu Yunlan glanced at her before turning to head out first.
安姣娜连忙跟上，一起出了大门。
An Jiaona immediately followed, exiting the main gates together.
“对了！姐姐！”安姣娜一脸的娇羞，她凑近顾云兰小声道，“我早上起来漱口水，有些呕吐，找医师看了一下，说是，说是……”
“That’s right! Big Sister!” An Jioana had a coquettish expression as she scooted closer to Gu Yunlan and whispered, “When I was rinsing my mouth this morning, I vomited a bit. I found a doctor to take a look and said, said… “
顾云兰心里有些冷笑，有喜是么？何必娇羞？虽然知道答案，但是她却还是要装一下，她一脸关心的看着她，“说是什么？不严重吧？”
Gu Yunlan smiled coldly in her heart, happy news is it? Why be so coquettish? She knew the answer, but she still pretended otherwise. Her face looked genuinely concerned, “What did he say? It’s not severe is it?”
“姐姐！”安姣娜脸一红，娇嗔的脚一跺，小声道，“医师说，医师说，娜娜有喜了！”
“Big Sister!” An Jioana’s face reddened, and stamped her feed adorably. She said quietly, “The doctor said, the doctor sad, Nana has a child!”
“真的么？”顾云兰脸色一喜，一把抓住她的手臂，“这可是大喜事，要是父亲在，估计要乐翻了，你可要好好养胎，对了，跟妹夫说了没有？”
“For real?” Gu Yunlan’s face lit up, grabbed onto her arm, “This is definitely great news. If father was here, he’s probably flip over in excitement. You must take proper care, have you told brother-in-law yet?”
“早上我起来时，他就走了！”安姣娜娇羞的低着头。
“By the time I got up this morning, he already left!” An Jioana nodded her head coquettishly.
顾云兰看着她满脸红光，似乎被滋润的水水的，她沉思片刻，朝前走去，“娜娜，我们快去快回吧！看这天寒地冻的，要是被这寒气侵入，姐姐可就罪责不浅啊！”
Gu Yunlan looked at her face all flushed red, as if she’d been doused with water. She pondered for a moment, then walked forth, “Nana, let’s head over quickly and come back soon! The weather looks rather cold today. If the cold were to invade your body, then Big Sister would be too guilty to bear!”
“姐姐！”安姣娜脚一跺，跟了上去。
“Big Sister!” An Jioana stamped her feet, and caught up to her.
在顾城有个习俗，初一只给自家的娘亲拜年，初二，等回娘家拜年的女儿过来，才一起去族亲拜年，而顾大帅不在顾城，所以顾云兰初一闲的逛街。
There’s a certain informal tradition where a married woman would go to her maiden’s home with her husband to give New Year’s greetings on the first day of the New Year. On the second day, when the woman returns from her maiden home, then they’d give New Year’s greetings to their new family. But since Marshal Gu isn’t in the city, Gu Yunlan spent the day strolling the streets with nothing to do.
从宗族出来，已经大半上午了，顾云兰领着安姣娜直接回了大帅府。
Once they left it was already in the later half of the morning. Gu Yunlan led An Jiaona directly back to the Marshal mansion.
她转头对身后的欣儿道，“跟厨娘说声，午饭多炖点有营养的东西，孕妇禁食的就不要弄了！”
She turned back her head too say to Xin’er, “Tell the kitchen maids to make something more nourishing for lunch. We can’t have a new mother starving!”
“是，小姐！”欣儿在客厅前停住了脚，直接朝厨房而去。
“Yes, Young Miss!” Xin’er stopped before the living room then directly headed for the kitchen.
“你们把碳火烧起了，用银碳！”在进客厅之前，顾云兰对一旁的小厮吩咐道。
“You guys get the fireplace going, make sure to use silver coal!” Before entering the living room, Gu Yunlan instructed to a servant standing by.
“是，小姐！”小厮连忙退了下去。
“Yes, Young Miss!” The servant immediately left.
“姐姐！这也太客气了吧？”安姣娜有些不好意思的跟着进去。
“Big Sis! Aren’t you doing more than needed?” An Jioana looked rather embarrassed as she followed into the living room.
“妹妹还是谨慎一些！东西可是不能乱吃的，姐姐听说，麝香那种东西闻了，就会落胎，就连胭脂水粉都最好不要碰，尤其是不要同房！”顾云兰在上首坐了下来，朝她一笑，小声道。
“It’s best for Little Sister to be more careful! You can’t be eating random things. Big Sister heard than even the slightest smell may cause you to lose the child. It’s best to not use makeup either, especially don’t put it in your room!” Gu Yunlan said quietly. She sat at the head seat and smiled at her.
对于陷害落胎这一事，她可做不到，伤害无辜的小生命，可是伤道行的，留着安姣娜以后才好看好戏？她忽然间特别想看杨家鸡飞狗跳的日子，梦梦总算作对了一件事。
Gu Yunlan refuses to do anything that would truly harm the fetus, afterall, the child is innocent. However as for the true target, how should she leave An Jiaona to create the most entertaining play? She suddenly really looked forward to the day she can witness the Yang Family running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Mengmeng certainly did something right.
“啊？姐姐。安姣娜惊呼的捂住嘴，她一脸焦急的看了眼四周，连忙在离顾云兰最近的地方坐了下来，小声道，“我们这几日都有。怎么办？”
“Ah? Big Sis.” An Jiaona covered her mouth in shock, her eyes darting around the surroundings in panic. She immediately sat down next to Gu Yunlan and said in a quiet voice, “We’ve done all this in the last few days. What do I do now?”
“没事！前三个月和后三个月注意些！”顾云兰笑道。
“It’s okay! You must be more careful in the first and last three months!” Gu Yunlan said with a smile.
说话间，小厮已经端着火盆走了进来，在两人的面前放了下来，随后退了出去。
As she talked, the servant had already returned carrying a brazier and set it down before the two before retreating.
“姐姐，你怎么懂这么多？”安姣娜好奇的看着她，以前听府里的人说，小姐以前可是不谱世的姑娘。
“Big Sister, how come you know so much?” An Jiaona looked at her with curious eyes. She heard from the mansion employees before that the young miss isn’t someone who knows much about the world.
“在山里看到婆婆给孕妇说过，我就记住了！”顾云兰微微一笑，似乎是小事一件。
“I heard granny telling this to a pregnant woman when I was up in the mountains. I memorized it!” Gu Yunlan smiled wanly, as if it’s just a small matter.
“姐姐懂得真多，要是没有姐姐，估计孩子掉了，我也不知道！”安姣娜一脸感激的看着顾云兰。
“Big Sis knows so much. Without Big Sis, the child would probably be lost and I wouldn’t know!” An Jioana looked at Gu Yunlan with a gaze full of emotion.
“我们是姐妹么？父亲不在家，作为姐姐不帮你，谁帮你？”顾云兰依旧笑意吟吟。
“Aren’t be sisters? With father not here, if I as your older sister isn’t helping you, then who would?” Gu Yunlan said, her smile still there.
“还有，妹妹现在是双身子的人，好歹也要找个人伺候着，这冷水可是碰不得！”顾云兰看着她身边空无一人，眉头一皱。
“Also, Little Sister is caring for two lives now, so we must find a person to care for you. You shouldn’t even touch this cold water!” Gu Yunlan looked at the empty space beside her, her brows creasing.
“姐姐，你又不是不知道，我们现在的情况！”安姣娜有些发窘的低下了头。
“Big Sister, it’s not like you don’t know our current situation!” An Jiaona lowered her head somewhat ashamedly.
顾云兰嘴角勾起，要不送个女人过去，不行，这女人万一到时候说是自己找丫头勾引她男人可就不好了，忽然，她眸子含笑，从怀里拿出一袋银钱，笑道，“妹妹，姐姐最近也抽不开身，这些钱你就拿去买个丫头，剩余的买些补品，和好吃的！”
Gu Yunlan hooked up the corners of her lips. Why don’t she send a woman over- no, if that woman later blamed her (GYL) for sending her to the man then it’d be bad. Suddenly, her pupils smiled. She took out a bag of silvers from within her clothing and said with a smile, “Little Sister, Big Sis can’t do much these days so take the money and get a servant for yourself. Use leftovers to buy yourself supplements and good food!”
“姐姐！这怎么行？我。安姣娜连忙抬起头拒绝，只是在看到顾云兰手中那么大的钱袋子，声音哑然而止。
“BIg Sister! This isn’t right! I-” An Jiaona immediately lifted her head in protest but seeing Gu Yunlan holding a giant bag of money in her hands, her voice immediately faded out.
顾云兰微微一笑，哪里好不明白她眼里的意思，抬手一丢，直接把钱袋丢到了安姣娜的怀里。
Gu Yunlan smiled wanly. It’s impossible to not know what her depression meant. She tossed the bag over, directly dumping the bag of money into An Jiaona’s hands.
“姐姐。。”安姣娜有些手足无措的看着手里的钱袋，自己有多需要钱，她哪里不知道，可是，这钱。
“Big Sis…” An Jiaona seemed to not know where to place her hands and how to handle the bag. She knows clearly how much money she needed but this amount of money…
“小姐！饭食好了！现在开席么？要等大帅么？”欣儿走了进来。
“Young Miss! Food is ready! Shall we start the meal? Should we wait for the Marshal?” Xin’er walked in.
“不用！直接上菜吧！对了，梦梦在府里么？叫她一起！”顾云兰对欣儿吩咐道。
“No need! Just serve the dishes now! Right, is Mengmeng around? Call her over to eat too!” Gu Yunlan instructed Xin’er.
直到欣儿离去，她站起身对安姣娜道，“钱，妹妹就拿着吧！我们去饭厅吧！妹妹现在可是双身子的人，可别饿到了！”
Once Xin’er left, Gu Yunlan stood up to say to An Jiaona, “As for the money, Little Sis should just take it! Let’s go eat! Little Sis is carrying two lives now, you can’t be hungry!”
“姐姐踞打趣我！”安姣娜脸一红收了钱袋，跟了出去。
“Big Sis is teasing me!” An Jiaona’s face reddened as she put away the money bag before catching up to Gu Yunlan.
顾云兰嘴角一勾，走了出去，姐妹情深？前世可没看到她对自己有多怜惜，现在对她和善，只是自己不想再造杀孽罢了。
Gu Yunlan hooked up the corners of her mouth as she walked out; deep sisterly relationship? An Jiaona certainly didn’t find anything pitiable about Gu Yunlan in her last life. Her altruism right now is simply due to her distaste for murder.
“呦！这不是杨夫人么？”轩辕梦坐在饭厅内，看着欣儿和阿沐布菜，直到看到来人，才抬起头，诧异的看着安姣娜，这丫的，怎么还是活蹦乱跳！
“Oh my! Isn’t this Madam Yang?” Xuanyuan Meng sat in the dining room, watching Xin’er and A’Mu bringing in dishes. When An Jiaona entered, she lifted her head to look at her in astonishment. How is this girl still alive and well!
“轩辕小姐，新年好！娜娜在这里给你拜年了！”安姣娜跟着顾云兰走了进来，朝轩辕梦微微行了一礼。
“Miss Xuanyuan, Happy New Year! Nana greets you!” An Jiaona followed Gu Yunlan walked into the room and bowed slightly towards Xuanyuan Meng.
“你也一样！”轩辕梦斜了她一眼，不再理会她。
“You too!” Xuanyuan Meng glanced at her sideways, then didn’t pay her any more attention.
“坐吧！”顾云兰直接找了位置坐了下来，看了眼站着的安姣娜，“都是自己人，不用拘束！”
“Sit!” Gu Yunlan found a seat and sat down. Seeing An Jiaona still standing there, she said, “We’re all one family, no need to be polite!”
安姣娜小心的看了一眼轩辕梦，在下座坐了下来，只是她闻到了面前的菜香，只感觉胃里一阵翻腾，连忙起身朝外跑了出去。
An Jiaona looked at Xuanyuan Ying cautiously then sat down. However as soon as she smelled the fragrance of the dishes, she felt her stomach flipping about and immediately stood up and ran out.
“她这是怎么了？”轩辕梦喝着茶，一脸诧异的目送安姣娜跑了出去，转头问道。
“What’s wrong with her?” Xuanyuan Meng took a sip of tea, a look of dismay as she watched An Jiaona run out before turning her head back to ask.
“有喜了！”顾云兰淡淡的喝了口茶，就知道她会闻不得菜味。
“She’s pregnant!” Gu Yunlan drank her tea indifferently, she knew how she’d react to the smell of dishes.
“噗！”轩辕梦一口茶水吐在了地上，怀孕了？她就知道，怎么会没动静呢？
“Pfft!” Xuanyuan Meng spat out a mouthful of tea onto the ground, pregnant? Since Gu Yunlan knew, why didn’t she tell her?
“看看你什么形象？要是喷在菜碗里，多恶心？”顾云兰一脸嫌弃的看着她。
“What kind of behavior is this? If you spat into your bowl, how disgusting would that be?” Gu Yunlan looked at her contemptuously.
轩辕梦朝她做了个鬼脸，转头刚好看到安姣娜走了进来，她脸色一变，关心的问道，“杨夫人这是怎么了？不会是有喜了吧？”
Xuanyuan Meng made a face at hr. She turned around just in time to see An Jiaona walking in. Her expression instantly changed as she asked with concern, “What’s wrong with Madam Yang? Could it be that you’re pregnant?”
