Chapter 289: The Coming Storm (3)

Han hesitated: "I mean, can you run a private school." Let the boys enlighten themselves, and if there is a share of that day, we will provide it for them to read, and if they don't have that day, they can also find a tent or something to do. As for the girls, I would like to ask the young grandmother of the Cui family to bring and teach the girl to be red, so that we can solve the problem of lack of manpower in our needlework team, and let those little girls have the skills to make a living. Look at my idea, yes or no! ”

"Why not!" Gu Xiyan smiled, "Sister's idea coincides with me." ”

Han looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise.

Gu Xiyan muttered: "Ever since I went to the church in Jiufeng and saw those children, I have had such an idea. It's just that this thing is a little difficult to operate. One is the identity of the children, and the other is the attitude of the church towards this matter. ”

"I can understand the identity of the children you are talking about. I'm afraid that the people of Liangdi or Jindi have the hatred of ruining the family, and we spend so much effort, but we raise a white-eyed ruthless, but what harm will it cause to Yandi. Han frowned slightly, "But I don't understand the attitude of the church." Father White, I have also come into contact with him, kind-hearted and kind... Not a bad guy! ”

Gu Xiyan smiled bitterly: "It's not that he's not a good person... The people of Yandi believe in Taoism, if the White Priest takes advantage of this matter, or uses our identity to preach, then I am afraid we will be very passive! ”

Han Shi didn't argue, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "The young lady's worries are justified..."

"Otherwise, sister and Father Bai will talk." Gu Xiyan said: "Look at his thoughts, and tell him our worries... He is also a transparent person, and he should be able to understand. Speaking of which, they have experience in doing this kind of thing, if they can cooperate with each other. That's for the best. Like them, always counting on others to give some money to feed the children is not a long-term solution! ”

Han nodded: "This matter really has to be considered in the long run. ”

While the two were talking, a girl outside came to say: "The young grandmother of the Cui family is here!" ”

Gu Xiyan and Han were slightly stunned. Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's also for the sake of marriage!" Invite her in! The last sentence is an order to the girls.

Gu Xiyan asked the peach branch to serve on the side and added a seat. The peach branch stool had just been brought to the table. Liu Mei'er rushed in. Her brow furrowed. His face was a little flustered. See Han. A hurried nod. He said anxiously, "Something's wrong." Why did you suddenly get married... Isn't that bullying? ”

"Look at your panic! Sit down. Have a cup of tea first! Gu Xiyan smiled and asked Taozhi to make her a cup of tea. Didn't have breakfast! ”

"I heard the news when I came along. Where can I still have breakfast! Liu Mei'er sat down. Seeing Gu Xiyan's expression, he looked calm. It doesn't look like there's something going on. I also felt a little calmer. "This thing. Is it true or not? ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "It's true..."

Her voice just fell. Liu Mei'er frowned: "Then you are still in the mood to sit here and eat and drink!" Hurry up and figure it out! ”

Gu Xiyan looked at the two thin beads of sweat next to Liu Mei'er's sideburns. The eye socket is hot.

It's the season to wear jackets, but Liu Meier is sweaty. I think I'm in a hurry...

"Don't worry, I have my own idea about this... Sister, thank you for coming to see me! Gu Xiyan's tone was sincere.

"What nonsense?" Liu Mei'er said angrily, "I don't come to see you, who else will come to see you..." Speaking of this, the corner of her eyes swept to Han's figure again, and she hurriedly said, "There are also Sister Han and Sister Liang." I also care about your business! ”

Gu Xiyan looked at the Han family and Liu Mei'er beside her, only felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "I know..."

Liu Mei'er was not as optimistic as Gu Xiyan, and hurriedly said, "Do you have any way... Or, talk to your aunt and let her not recognize that daughter-in-law... Or, you can move to Tokushin Temple now..."

Liu Mei'er's mind was simple, and Gu Xiyan was very worried and nagging when she saw her, and she was grateful. I don't want her to hurt her mind anymore. Hurriedly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I was looking for you!" ”

"Looking for me?" Liu Meier said curiously. What are you looking for me for? ”

Gu Xiyan told Liu Mei'er what she had just said to Han: "If you can't be busy alone, see if you can invite Lu Jiuniang out..."

Liu Mei'er was really distracted, and she was eager to try: "Don't worry, I wrote to my mother and asked her to come forward to invite Lu Jiuniang in person, and also wrote to my eldest sister and asked her to come and help... Anyway, she's just idle at home and has nothing to do... But where can you teach well? Although our house is spacious, my ninth aunt will bring her children for a while in a few days... You know, we live in the ancestral house of the Cui family... If it's settled in our house, we have to talk back to the old lady about this matter..."

Gu Xiyan was relieved to see that Liu Mei'er was no longer blindly talking about the marriage, and said: "This matter is just a temporary suggestion, to be done, there will be a lot of planning, the first one, as you said, you have to solve the local problem... So, I still have to invite Liang Zhangzhu here, and everyone can sum it up. ”

Liu Mei'er said: "Then let's invite Sister Liang now!" The sooner you do this, the better. You don't know, it's almost winter, and many people are having a hard time..."

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, so he discussed the Han family: "Or, let's open a porridge shed or something for the time being this winter... Mobilize all the rich households in Yongzhou City... Donate money and materials, and then make a monument or something like that to stand in a conspicuous place, and give them a good name... Sister Han, what do you think? ”

Han agreed: "This matter, I'm afraid it is better to discuss the grandfather of the country..."

The two of them thought of going together again, and Gu Xiyan nodded again and again.

Liu Meier instructed someone to invite Liang Zhangzhu.

But Liang Zhangzhu didn't arrive, but the big and small Cui clans arrived first.

Knowing that they were discussing the matter of setting up a porridge shed in winter, the two were also very excited, Gu Xiyan tilted his head and asked the sister-in-law in the lobby, Xiao Cui, to come forward to preside over the opening of the porridge shed.

Xiao Cuishi was taken aback: "Let me host... It's always been a man's business! ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "The men have all gone to war... Don't you want us women and children to eat our stomachs! ”

Xiao Cui's was a little tempted, but he still said: "This matter, I still have to write a letter to discuss your eldest brother..."

Gu Xiyan nodded again and again: "That's certain!" ”

Everyone was talking, Liang Zhangzhu came, and now it was even more lively.

A group of people chattered for a long time, and probably made a charter, but forgot about the marriage.

Fang Shaoqin got the news of the "marriage" much earlier than Gu Xiyan imagined.

She looked at Mama Shi in surprise: "This news is true!" ”

"It's true." Mama Shi's face was a little pale: "The people over there in Xizhao have already made it clear to me, and besides, the grandmothers of several other houses in the Qi family have all gone to see the young lady!" Fang Shaoqin's face was ashen.

Mama Shi said hesitantly: "Girl, look, what should I do about this matter?" ”

The queen mother died, the Fang family was handed over to the sixth uncle, Yang Yu favored the Yu family alone, and the sixth uncle made it difficult for Yang Yu everywhere in the court and politics, Yang Yu in order to get rid of the shackles of the Fang family, clearly let his confidants impeach Zheng Pengfei, the Duke of Liang, for disrespecting the royal family, in addition to the name of his Guogong, in order to set an example, but in fact, he secretly took this opportunity to readjust the officials of the military department and install his own people. The sixth uncle remained silent, and used grain, grass, and military salaries to contain the war in the Liang Ting Governor's Mansion, so that the war in Liangdi was repeated repeatedly, and countless soldiers were lost... With the instability of the war in Liangdi, Yang Yu's majesty in the court is declining, which is why the birth of the son-in-law and the canonization of the crown prince... Originally, I thought that as long as the Fang family stood on their heels in the temple and waited for a few years, things would improve, but who knows, Fei'er actually died, and the court suddenly married Qi Hao...

Is this the Fang family's idea or the emperor's idea?

Fang Shaoqin cheered up: "Do you know who married me?" ”

There was a bit of hesitation in Mama Shi's expression: "I heard that it was the girl in the outer room of the ninth room, named Shaorui..."

Fang Shaoqin was struck by lightning and said in surprise: "Yes, is it from the Fang family?" ”

Mama Shi nodded.

"How so? How so? Fang Shaoqin muttered with a sluggish expression.

What's going on, what is it, the dead Scarlet?

A sad and cold meaning surged from Fang Shaoqin's heart, she was like a drowning person eager to hold a piece of driftwood, and asked Mama Shi for help: "Yuguan, does Yuguan know?" ”

Mama Shi hesitated for a long time before she said in a low voice: "Young Master, lock yourself in the house, and no one will let you in... I didn't come out to eat at noon, I, I haven't had time to tell the eldest young master yet! ”

Fang Shaoqin waved her hand weakly: "Mama, you go down!" ”

Mama Shi's expression was uncertain, she hesitated for a while, and asked softly as if verifying: "Girl, is it Xizhao's side, we are no longer needed!" ”

Fang Shaoqin's face was expressionless, and she looked back slowly, staring straight at Mama Shi without squeaking.

Mama Shi slowly lowered her head.

The sky gradually darkened, and the darkness soon enveloped everything, Fang Shaoqin and Mama Shi were relatively speechless, stunned in the night like wood carvings, and gradually melted into the darkness.
