After a few days, finally from the irresistible August of midsummer to September, the buds on the cinnamon tree are ready to bloom, waiting for the arrival of the golden autumn season.

Half a month ago, on the night of August 15, Qi's lightning and thunder outside the house, the rainstorm gave birth to a boy, Qi was frightened in the process of giving birth, and began to bleed heavily after giving birth to the child.

Hearing the news of the birth of the child, Feng Cheng immediately made a blood confession with the child, only to find out that his child was him, and the previous words that said that the child was not him were all rumors spread by the wife of the You family.

After Feng Cheng understood the ins and outs of the matter, he immediately rushed to the courtyard of Mrs. You, and after a period of questioning, Mrs. You was willing to admit that she had done all these things.

Within a few days, Mrs. You didn't even look at her grandson, so Feng Cheng invited Feng Lao'an to come forward and let people send Mrs. You back to her hometown, saving her from staying in Punpu and continuing to be embarrassed.

After September, Punpu rained one after another, and it seemed that there was no tendency to stop, and Cai's also lay on the couch and was sick for a long time, and he did not recover. Feng Lao'an invited a few doctors to come over and take a look, and took a few pairs of medicines intermittently, but they were still the same.

The seedlings all day long, without the slightest energy, have no strength to speak and eat, and need someone to concentrate on serving, as if time is running out.

Cai's illness, Feng Lao'an didn't want to put the burden of the housekeeper on himself, so he let Zijuan beside him temporarily replace Cai's housekeeper, but during this period, Gu Lihua accepted a little maid in Cai's courtyard Hongmei as a concubine.

Cai's lying on the couch was sick, Gu Lihua didn't dare to let people do a big deal, and invited Mama Liang, who was serving by Lin's side, to be a Quanfu person, and took Hongmei to Feng Lao'an's side to see it, and then went to the ancestral ancestral hall and kowtowed, Feng Lao'an gave a pair of jade lotus gold silk entwined bracelets, and Hongmei was also married to the Gu family.

A few days ago, in order to please Gu Yutang, Jiang Zhiming specially asked people to install the Western glass brought by Siamese under the corridor in Gu Yutang's courtyard, and also asked people to send a canary and a white velvet-eared cat over.

That little guy was originally called Tashi, but Gu Yutang always felt weird, so he changed his name to Ah Luo.

The rain outside the house was still brushing the ground, Gu Yutang asked people to set up tables, stools and chairs under the porch, and sat under the porch to watch the drizzle outside. Today, she wore a white embroidered cat fluttering butterfly jacket, and wore a few plain silver beaded hairpins, and a string of tassels made of jasper strings were embedded on the hairpins. Seeing that Jiang Zhiming hadn't gone out for the past few days and had been staying in the yard, he wanted to ask him about his situation, so he called Da Han, who was sweeping the floor under the porch.

"Da Han, is the son of the Jiang family still staying in the room these days? Have you ever been somewhere?"

Since the girl came back from the street that day, it seems that she has changed, and she is still cold and indifferent to the son of the Jiang family, and she looks like she loves to ignore her. Now it's morning, noon and evening, ask her three times what the son of the Jiang family is doing, and if she can't answer, she will have to say a few words.

Da Han was already prepared in his heart, and said calmly: "Girl, the son of the Jiang family has been resting in the courtyard for the past few days, I heard that he is infected with the wind and cold, and he is raising it in the house, do you want to go over and see it in person?"

Gu Yutang's face was slightly red, Da Han, this girl, had already touched her thoroughly, knowing that she had Jiang Zhiming in her heart, and she didn't say it well, so she directly asked Gu Yutang if she wanted to go over and take a look, she replied that it would not work, it would be okay not to go, and she was in a dilemma.

But she thought about it carefully, how could Jiang Zhiming, such a strong person, be knocked down by a little wind and cold? She still didn't go over to see it for herself, so as not to be seen by the other maids in the house, and it would be criticized in vain.

She can't go to see it in person, but Da Han can go, send some medicine to nourish her body, and find out the news by the way, which is also feasible.

Gu Yutang made up his mind in his heart, smiled, and instructed Da Han: "Da Han, didn't I tell my grandmother about chest tightness and shortness of breath two days ago?" She asked Mama Liang to send me a few old ginseng to replenish qi, after you took the key, open the cage, take out the old ginseng inside, put it in the black lacquer carved box, and send it to the Jiang family. ”

Da Han took the key handed to her by Gu Yutang, but he didn't move for a long time, and only said, "Girl, didn't you say that those old ginseng sticks were going to be sent back to Mrs.?" Why are you willing to take it out and give it to the Jiang family's son now?"

Gu Yutang smiled, ignored her, and said, "Let's not hurry back, grandmother still has a lot of old ginseng to replenish qi, it's a big deal, let's ask her for a few more when the time comes." We took so many mountain ginseng from Jiang Zhiming last time, and now we have a few back, which is also a matter of course. ”

Since his own girls said this, Da Han couldn't ask boredly, so he turned around and went to the side room where Gu Yutang stacked the cages.

The canary hanging under the porch was merrily mingling, and the white cat was circling the canary, as if it wanted to pounce on it and fight with it.

Gu Yutang raised his eyes and saw Ah Hua walking towards Gu Yutang with a bamboo basket covered with a red cloth and an oil-paper umbrella, with a thick smile on his face, as if he had just known some great happy event.

Walking into the corridor, Ah Hua put away the oil-paper umbrella, leaned against the pillars, and shook the water vapor on his body before daring to approach Gu Yutang.

"Girl, just now when I passed by the hood room, the sister in Mrs. Qi's house saw me passing by, pulled me into the house, talked for a long time, and then asked someone to bring me a basket of red eggs, saying that Mrs. Qi didn't finish eating during confinement, and rewarded it." Ah Hua said, lifting the red cloth covering the bamboo basket, and there was indeed a basket full of red eggs inside.

Red eggs are old eggs dyed red with cinnabar, and after the eggs are boiled and cooled, they can be dyed with cinnabar. Generally, it is a confinement woman who eats such eggs, one is to replenish the body, and the other is to have a festive time.

Gu Yutang knew that the Qi family was generous, on the day when the little brother of the Feng family washed the three ceremonies, the girl who came to watch the ceremony, the Qi family each stuffed a tael of silver, and even she sealed a big red envelope for her, Gu Yutang secretly opened it in a no-man's land and took a look, it was a silver ticket of twenty taels, and the Qi family was really generous.

Gu Yutang didn't take twenty taels of silver in vain, and after he went back, he asked someone to take a piece of jade pendant that was immediately sealed and sent over, the jade pendant was prepared for her by Jiang Zhiming in advance, and now she just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

"Girl, would you like an egg? However, this egg is boiled in plain water, and it has no taste, and the girl should not like to eat it. Or the slave maid instructed the mother-in-law in the small kitchen to fetch a dipping water, and the girl could eat a few eggs with the dipping water. ”

Ah Hua said as he began to break the shell of the egg, Ah Hua's hands were sweaty, and after a while, both hands were stained red by the eggshells.

"You take the eggs to the kitchenette! Let the mother-in-law in the small kitchen help us do it, it rained overnight, the farmers in the Zhuangzi did not come to the city to catch the market, these days there are few people selling fruits and vegetables on the street, the house is reducing the meals in each house and courtyard these days, you give those eggs to the cook, maybe you can add a dish tonight. ”

Gu Yutang said, seeing that Ah Hua had already eaten a few peeled eggs, and his fingers stained his mouth red, as if he had applied lip grease.

Ah Hua didn't care about his image for a while, so he grabbed a few more eggs, peeled them and ate them, and sent the remaining half basket of eggs to the small kitchen.

When Ah Hua came back, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, a little more violent than before, and the wind and rain hit the bright and shaky Western glass, causing bursts of splashes, Gu Yutang leaned on the Western glass behind him, feeling the flow of rain on the glass.

The wind under the corridor hit in gusts, accompanied by water vapor, so cold that Ah Hua suddenly got goosebumps, looking at Gu Yutang who didn't notice it, Ah Hua reminded, "Girl, it's windy under the corridor, why don't we go in and rest?"

Gu Yutang hugged the cat in his arms, waved his hand and said, "It's boring in the house, I'll stay here for a while, you go to the house and take out my goose feather woven coat and put it on for me." ”
