In the courtyard of the family's room, the main hall is filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, and the bitter taste makes people have no appetite for a day.

The maid and the mother-in-law stood quietly behind the screen with a spittoon and other things.

Ouyang held the hand of his mother, trying not to vomit out the decoction he had drunk.

"Madame, ma'am."

The mother's eyes were red, and she gently patted Ouyang's back, "God doesn't have eyes, Madame is such a charitable person, but she has to endure such torture......"

Ouyang leaned on the pillow in a dejected manner, his face was a little pale:

"In order to give birth to a child for my uncle, no matter how much hardship I suffer, I am willing...... I'm afraid that I won't even have the opportunity to take bitter medicine in the future. ”

"How so?"

"Since Gu Siye removed Gu Rui's family tree, the idea of taking a concubine in the uncle's heart is even worse. When the uncle saw that his name was empty on the family tree, he must have felt sad in his heart. Because of what happened back then, my uncle and mother have always been very good to me, and my mother also tried her best to find me the secret recipe for giving birth to a child. ”

Ouyang's eyes were dim, and he stroked his lower abdomen, "But I just don't fight for it, and I can't conceive a child anymore." ”

For Mrs. Houzhai, she can not be beautiful, she can not be smart, or she can even be virtuous, but she can't not have children!

Li once said to Gu Yao that having a son is a woman's biggest and best capital.

There is no man who does not think about his children.

On the contrary, the higher the status of the man, the more important he is to inherit the offspring.

"The same prescription, the fourth master's Aunt Tian is pregnant, but I haven't moved. Uncle doesn't say it, I'm afraid I'm desperate for me. ”

There were tears in the corners of Ouyang's eyes, "I didn't even dare to send a letter to my mother's family, my brother and sister-in-law and my mother persuaded me to take a concubine for my uncle as soon as possible. ”

The grandmother looked distressed and a little indignant, "They just talked, and they didn't mean anything else." ”

"I still don't understand what's going on? The sister-in-law means that instead of choosing a concubine I don't know, it is better to choose someone who knows the roots, they think that I can control the fate of the concubine, so I am not afraid of an unstable status. ”

"But they don't understand at all, I can't control the uncle, the ordinary concubine...... There is Aunt Li of the fourth master, how can the uncle look at it? ”

"Ah, Madame, you can't say that."

The grandmother hurriedly stopped the Ouyang family, and said cautiously: "The old lady helped the fourth master refuse one marriage proposal after another, and the queen mother sent rewards every once in a while, although it was said that it was for the children of the fourth master, but the few sets of jewelry that only the lady could wear were given to Aunt Li!" ”

"Aunt Tian had a lot of trouble with her pregnancy, and the old lady didn't care, but she stared at Aunt Li, not to prevent Aunt Li from doing anything, but to see if she had the virtue and generosity to be a lady."

"After all, Aunt Li doesn't know a few words, and the old lady is still not at ease."

Ouyang shook his head and said: "I know how to read, but I can't conceive a child, it's just as painful." Wang is a famous talented woman, and now that she has been retired to her parents' home, she has raised two children who have been kicked out of the house. ”

"After reading Aunt Li, I suddenly felt that literacy does not mean that you are smart, literacy does not mean that you will not make mistakes, and literacy is better than being able to give birth to a son!"

“……”

The mother agreed with Ouyang's words in her heart, and Aunt Li was illiterate and still went smoothly to today.

"Even if Aunt Li didn't straighten it out this time, Wen has Gu Jin, Wu has Gu Jue, and Gu Yao who is about to fly on the branches, whoever is the fourth master will be unlucky!"

Ouyang said enviously: "I heard my uncle mention it yesterday, Gu Jue, he has entered the emperor's eyes, and Xu got an official position earlier than Gu Jin." ”

"How so? Didn't he just go to the Shenji Camp for less than two months? Two days ago, the old slave also heard the sixth lady say that the fifth young master wrote a letter back to complain, begging grandpa to tell grandma that he would rather come back to study than stay in the Shenji camp anymore. ”

Entering the eyes of Emperor Longqing means that Gu Jue has a bright future, which can be seen even by the mother as a slave.

Don't blame Uncle Gu for having a separate conversation with Old Madam Gu a few days ago.

Mrs. Gu refused to come to the door to propose to Gu Siye, and the person who proposed marriage to Gu Siye was even more resolute, and also revealed that Gu Siye's age was not suitable for remarrying the little girl.

The Shenji Battalion has a chance to meet the emperor, otherwise the quota of the Shenji Battalion will not be so precious.

But Gu Jue has only been there for a long time, and it is not his turn to come out in terms of seniority.

But he not only saw Emperor Longqing, but also had to look at him differently.

It's no luck!

"Could it be...... Uncle used favors? There are many noble children who have entered the Shenji Battalion and have not seen the emperor for two or three years, and many of them are better than the fifth young master. ”

"It's not." Ouyang said: "Uncle is also very surprised, and how can the uncle have the ability to arrange for Gu Jue?" It's not Gu Jue's uncle Li Yong, it seems that Lord He accompanied the emperor to the Shenji Camp, and then somehow the emperor called Gu Jue to go, and asked Gu Jue to practice riding and archery, and laughed with him, and the emperor praised Gu Jue for being outstanding. ”

Lord He wants to marry Gu Siye, and it seems that it is not groundless.

"If you want to say that Gu Jue's appearance is dignified, his temperament is cheerful and refreshing, and his whole person is like a little sun, I am actually more happy that my future son will be like Gu Jue than Gu Jin."

Ouyang's eyes dimmed again.

Son? Does she still have a chance to have another biological flesh and blood?

"Uncle doesn't know how much he envy the fourth master, although he doesn't say it, but I also understand that he wants to choose a concubine like Aunt Li, who can not only give birth to good children, but also make them talented."

Ouyang smiled bitterly: "It's not wrong to think like this as a man, but I'm his wife, if I put up a good concubine like Aunt Li, I really can't say it, I have to suffocate to death for the rest of my life, but Aunt Li doesn't have to do anything...... As long as she cultivates her children well and makes them the pride of her uncle, she will win! ”

The grandmother's heart also trembled, and she comforted: "A concubine like Aunt Li, the old slave has never seen a second one in his life, how can it be so easy to find?" If the uncle takes a concubine for his heir, he won't delay for too long. ”

"There is half of Aunt Li, no, there is a quarter of Aunt Li who is smart, she sees Aunt Li after she enters the door, can't she learn?"

Ouyang turned over the mirror and looked at the white hair on his sideburns:

"I don't dare to bet, what should I do if she learns Aunt Li? Even if I won't be like Wang's retirement and return to my parents' home, in the rest of my life, I'm afraid I will ...... There is no more time to come out. ”

"Ma'am."

"Give Gu Jia a word, if Aunt Tian successfully gives birth to a baby boy, I am willing to succeed him as the heir of the long house."

Ouyang slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "Maybe Gu Jia is also reasonable, the stepbaby can let me reverse the luck of the heir and help me bring a biological flesh and blood." ”
