Chapter 14: Parenthood

"I didn't expect that there are people in this world who are more miserable than Wan'er!"

Wen Wan listened to Li Dare talk about Zhang's affairs, and looked at Wen Kang on the sickbed with tears in her eyes, lamenting more than once.

At Wen Wan's insistence, Li Kang and the two bought some baby products and went to visit Zhang's together.

When I arrived at Zhang's house, I saw Qin Guan's figure, he cooperated with one of the old man's nephews, and took care of Zhang's funeral before and after, he really regarded the old man as his own relative.

Relatives and friends of the Zhang family came to the funeral, and when they heard about Zhang Kouyao's divorce when his wife gave birth, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and several younger ones gritted their teeth and said that they wanted to settle accounts with Zhang Kouyao. The old man also said that he must catch Zhang Kouyao and let him mourn and wear filial piety for the old man.

But Zhang Kouyao seems to have evaporated from the world these days, and no one knows where he is hiding.

The Zhang family was not rich in the first place, and there were no prominent relatives and friends, so the funeral was deserted.

Qin Guan found a monk friend, recited a scripture for the old man, and scraped together money to buy a thin coffin, and hastily buried the old man.

After a long day's work, I saw the old man in the ground, and his relatives and friends gradually dispersed.

Because Zhang had just lost his mother, he was still in deep grief and couldn't extricate himself, and he didn't have much milk. Qin Guan got some breast milk from somewhere, and was feeding it to the child with a spoon.

This child has only been born for a few days, where can he swallow, half swallow and half vomit, and spit out Qin Guan's milk.

"Gotta find a nurse for the child!" Qin Guan sighed while wiping the milk on his body, "But this requires a lot of money." ”

A few days ago, Qin Guan spent a lot of money in Fan Lou, but now he doesn't have much money, where is it enough to hire a wet nurse for a long time.

"Let me make a straw for the kid!" Li dared to say.

"Straws?" Qin Guan looked dazed.

Li Dang found a wheat pipe out of nowhere, washed it with clean water, folded off the rough parts at both ends, inserted one end into Qin Guan's bowl, and stuffed the other end into the child's mouth.

Watching the child sucking the straw with relish, Qin Guan cast an approving look at Li Dang, Li Dang smiled and nodded, as long as he had a certain degree of material and financial resources, he felt that it was not a big problem for him to make glass straws and plastic straws.

"This child has no father since he was born, Brother Li Dangxian, why don't we be his father-in-law!"

Qin Guan said to Li Dang, obviously he hated Zhang Kouyao's behavior of abandoning his wife, and no longer regarded this person who had married Jin Lan with him as a brother, or even as a sound person.

Li Dang was dumbfounded, he had only been in Bianjing for a few days, and he was about to become a child's father-in-law before he even got married, and he set his eyes on the gentleness of Zhang, who was carefully taking care of the confinement child.

Wen Wan grinned and said: "Since you two want to be the child's father-in-law, Wan'er also has the heart to accept this child as a child, you see that this child is really happy, he was born with two fathers and two mothers!" ”

Wen Wan wanted to comfort Zhang, but when Zhang heard it in her heart, she was extremely painful in her heart, this Zhang Kouyao didn't even leave Zhang Xiushu for herself, nor did she see her newborn son, so she left ruthlessly.

Li Dang and Qin Guan glanced at each other and sighed secretly, one of these two men was reborn in another world and had rich experience, and the other was talented and full of wealth, but at this moment, they couldn't find any words to comfort the grief-stricken woman in front of them.

Since he is a new father, Li Dang has no choice but to take care of the baby who has just eaten a full meal in swaddling clothes and is sleeping, he and Qin Guan have given the baby one name after another, but not long after taking the name, the two want to go to a new name, and feel that the new name is better, so after tossing for an afternoon, there is still no satisfactory name.

"Let's call it Zhang Qinli!" Seeing the two men arguing, Wen Wan said.

"No," said the two men, "there must be a warm word!" ”

……

After Li Kang and Wen Wan went to Zhang's house, Cai Han, the son of Cai Qu, the right prime minister, actually came to the door to propose to Mrs. Wen in person.

Cai Han found out that Wen Kang was unconscious, and brought a rare wild ginseng, saying that it was to make soup for Wen Kang to replenish his body.

Although this Cai Han is a little fat, he is not short, his facial features are still Zhou Zheng, and he still looks like a ** suave look. In particular, the clothes cut out of fine silk on his body were made by the best tailors in the capital, and the clothes were inlaid with gold and silver, which added a bit of luxury.

"It's okay, Madame can think about it for a few more days and then tell Cai!"

Cai Han saw that Mrs. Wen blindly rejected him, and he was not discouraged, but said a lot of words of concern and greetings with a sincere attitude.

The young man in front of him is the son of the prime minister, Mrs. Wen looked at Cai Han's courteous appearance, her eyes were a little dazed, she had painstakingly hired the advocacy in the teaching workshop to guide Wen Wan to practice dance, wasn't it just for today's day.

Although Wen Kang was a low-level general, his identity was not as good as that of a seven-grade county official, and he had no son, so he pinned all his future happiness on Wen Wan's body, and wanted Wen Wan to marry a fast son-in-law. If it had been a few months ago, Mrs. Wen felt that she would not hesitate to accede to Cai Han's request.

But that's no longer the case.

Now, Mrs. Wen felt that she must not be an ungrateful person!

Not to mention that Li Dang concentrated on healing Wen Kang, he was still the one who redeemed Wen Wan, Mrs. Wen felt that her family had already been broken up a few days ago, and it was Li Dang who reunited her family.

Besides, Li Kang and Wen Wan are in love, as parents, Mrs. Wen unconsciously has regarded Li Kang as a member of the family.

"I'm sorry, Gongzi Cai, the concubine can only thank you for your kindness, but my Wan'er has no blessings, please forgive Gongzi Cai!"

Mrs. Wen carefully wrapped the wild ginseng that Cai Han had opened, and stuffed it back to Cai Han.

Cai Han heard rumors outside that Li Dang was Wen Wan's cousin, went to Beijing to take the exam, and lived in Wen's house, and now he saw that Mrs. Wen did not mention that Wen Wan had been promised to other people's families, and his hope increased a little, so he didn't pick it up, and arched his hand and said: "This is Qin's filial piety to General Wen, and it has nothing to do with Wan'er's wife's affairs, so I still ask Mrs. Wen's subordinates." It is said that this ginseng was a tribute from the Goryeo Kingdom to the government, who in turn rewarded my father with the effect of prolonging life and curing all kinds of diseases. ”

Mrs. Wen knew that the things were valuable, and she insisted on returning them, but Cai Han also resolutely refused to accept them, and the two of them pushed back and forth, but there was no result.

I don't know how many times later, Cai Han saw that the wild ginseng had already reached Mrs. Wen's hands, so he retreated, left the Wen family, and before leaving, he asked his subordinates to leave twenty pieces of money, saying that it was to see the Wen family's four walls, and Mrs. Wen also had no long things, and this money should be kept by Wen Kang as the cost of diagnosis and treatment.

Li Dang and Wen Wan returned to Wen's house and saw Mrs. Wen sitting on a flower drum pier, holding wild ginseng and twenty yuan of money and worrying.

"Mother, what's wrong with you!" Wen Wan was worried when she saw Mrs. Wen's depressed appearance.

When Mrs. Wen saw the two come back, the corners of her mouth showed a relieved smile, she didn't hide it, 1510 said that Cai Han came to kiss, in order to reassure Li Dang, she said that she would definitely find a way to send the money and ginseng back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at the money and wild ginseng in Mrs. Wen's hand, Li Dang remembered that he had promised to return the 3,000 yuan of redemption money to Master Li in the Fan Tower.
