Over there, Aunt Gao was talking to Mama Zhao, and here Hong Yan was standing in front of the kang to review Xiyan's words.

“… My aunt only sleeps six hours a day and eats two meals... At first, I was only responsible for taking care of my aunt's food and clothing, but then I was too busy to spare manpower, so my aunt asked me to help clean the cloth belt that bandaged the wound and boil the bedding with boiling water... Seeing that I was clever with my hands and feet, he asked me to smash the grass and boil the ointment..."Speaking of this, Yanhong's face exuded a jade-like brilliance, "Huguan Town, from the general soldier to the government guard, met me, and they all called me Miss Yang..."

Because she has gained the respect of others through her hard work, it is a new change for Yanhong!

Gu Xiyan listened with a smile: "Aunt Gao goes every time... Did you meet any acquaintances this time? ”

Yan Hong groaned, "Acquaintance... There are several. Dr. Luo, Dr. Liu, Dr. Wang, Dr. Qin... And the general of the king in this pass..."

It seems that the people in the church did not go to the pass...

"Well," Gu Xiyan said with a smile, "You have served Aunt Gao hard, and I asked Hongyu to give you an extra silver tael this month, which is considered a hard work." ”

Yan Hong bowed her knees and thanked her.

Gu Xiyan leaned on the big pillow and remembered the Han family.

The snow in Yongzhou City is particularly heavy this year, and I don't know what the situation at home is.

When she came back from Jiufeng, she specially asked someone to send rice and charcoal, this time, do you want to send some cotton jackets or something. Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still a little and called Xingyu in: "I want to go to Gong's mansion, you arrange a time!" ”

Xingyu went away in response. Gu Xiyan called Mo Ju again. told her about Han's situation: "Go buy twenty pieces of cotton cloth." I brought it with me when I went to Gongfu. ”

Mo Ju just left. Yunshang came over to communicate. said that Liu Meier came.

Liu Mei'er came to give Gu Xiyan small clothes. Red, green, yellow, purple covered the bed. Various. There are also tiger head shoes, capes, and pillows. It's all small. It's so cute.

The two of them held their clothes and gestured for a long time. Mo Ju came back to talk. said that he had instructed the steward of the outer courtyard to procure.

Liu Meier said strangely: "Why do you buy so much cotton cloth?" ”

Gu Xiyan told her the purpose. Liu Mei'er groaned, "Or." I'll go with you too! ”

Gu Xiyan had an idea: "Why don't you let someone sew a few sets of clothes for those children... And don't be elaborate, just warm. You are alone in Yongzhou City, and you are more comfortable than me..."

Liu Mei'er thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I can't make a few sets of winter clothes... However, it is possible to sew spring shirts from now on. What do you think? ”

"Okay!" Gu Xiyan said, "She has a big one and a small one to take over, no matter if it's a winter coat or a spring shirt, you just do it, are you afraid that no one will wear it!" ”

Two days later, Gu Xiyan and Liu Mei'er took the time to go to Gong's Mansion.

When they went to the ground, Han was holding a crying child in his arms, and when he saw Gu Xiyan, he looked a little embarrassed.

Gu Xiyan took the initiative to greet him: "Sister Han, is this the child you adopted again?" ”

The kid was only a few months old. In Han's arms, his face was flushed.

Liu Meier also stepped forward to tease the child, and was startled when she saw the child crying. Busy said: "What's the matter?" Why is it so noisy? ”

While instructing someone to serve tea to Gu Xiyan and Liu Mei'er, Han shrugged the child and said, "I don't know, it's okay in the morning, but I've been crying since lunch!" ”

Gu Xiyan stretched out his hand and touched it.

I heat up a little bit.

"Did you get a doctor?" Gu Xiyan asked hurriedly.

Han's face showed anxiety: "Please, I don't know why, I haven't arrived yet!" I can't leave here... There's one sick in the family..."

Gu Xiyan was taken aback: "Sister Han." How many children do you have at home? ”

Han put up the child who was crying in his arms and was holding his breath, patted his back, and said, "There are more than eighty children!" ”

"Then who will take your own children!" Gu Xiyan was dumbfounded, and couldn't help asking.

A bitter smile appeared on Han's face: "My husband and I have never had children!" ”

Gu Xiyan was shocked there.

Gong Tao has no concubines.

Liu Mei'er was also a little dumbfounded.

The two couldn't help but exchange a look.

Han Shi was accustomed to such a reaction, and said with a smile: "This is about to be Xiao Nian, how can Madame have time to come... Look at me, you're still pregnant with a baby. I'm just standing and talking to you... Sit down..."

Oh, yes. It's almost the end of the year, and many doctors don't go to the clinic. Han's can't have more than two dozen silver dots... Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan called out to Mo Ju who came along: "Let people go and take Mama Zhao over for the child to see!" ”

Mo Ju left in response.

Han's eyes showed a look of gratitude.

Gu Xiyan took this opportunity to tell him what he meant, Han hesitated slightly, and said, "I have received the young lady's wishes... But stuff I can't receive... Speaking of which, every time Grandpa Guo gives his husband more rewards than others, how can we be embarrassed to take Madame's things again..."

If it weren't for Geng Jie's personality, the family wouldn't be cold here!

Gu Xiyan said sincerely: "Sister Han, I didn't send these things for you, but for these children. ”

Han looked at the baby crying in his arms, and then looked at Orange Hong, who walked in with tea and came to serve tea, and hesitated a little.

Gu Xiyan is a clever person, and immediately asked people to move things in, and he pulled Liu Mei'er to sit down.

With the current situation of the Gong family, there must be no servants to invite land, and these children are young, and they don't know if the water is boiling. Gu Xiyan is now pregnant with a child, and she is more cautious than usual. So she didn't drink Han's tea, but pulled Han to ask about the children's situation.

Because the adopted children are all disabled, some of the children are in their twenties. Because he has no ability to make a living or take care of himself, he can only live in the Gong family and rely on the Gong family and his wife to live.

“… So we are saving money now, just hoping to buy a few more acres of land in our hometown, and in the future, the children will also have something to rely on..."

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The atmosphere of the conversation became a little cold.

Fortunately, this kind of desertion did not last long, and Yan Hong helped Aunt Gao in, followed by Mama Zhao, who was a little pale.

Everyone didn't expect Aunt Gao to come, so they all stood up in surprise. Han hugged the child and greeted him, shouting, "Aunt Gao." ”

Aunt Gao nodded at her. He saluted Gu Xiyan first, and then sat down on the stool on the side and took the child in Han's hand.

After checking the child's pulse, she looked at the child's face again, and finally opened the wrap wrapped around the child and pressed the child's belly.

Gu Xiyan found out at this time. The child had intact limbs and did not look like a disabled child.

Liu Mei'er also saw something, and whispered to Gu Xiyan when Aunt Gao visited the clinic: "What's wrong with this child..."

Although the voice was not high, everyone gathered together, and Han still heard it clearly.

She explained: "This child is the child of a colleague of mine... He died in Liangdi in October, and his wife couldn't stand the blow and hanged herself last month, leaving behind three children, the eldest only four years old, and the younger only a few months... The people in the husband's family said they couldn't afford it. I'll have to bring them back for the time being..."

Gu Xiyan was very shocked: "There should be a sum of money for the children in the army?" ”

Han's face showed hesitation.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff.

Gu Xiyan didn't believe that Qi Mao's life would not give pensions to those dead soldiers.

She said in a fierce voice, "What the hell is going on?" Could it be an unnatural death? ”

Gu Xiyan's question of "unnatural death" made Han's face red, and she said eagerly: "It's not... It was killed in battle... It's just that the grade is too low. Only two taels of silver a year... gave birth to three daughters, and her husband's family couldn't tolerate it, so she committed suicide..."

Liu Mei'er saw that Gu Xiyan and Han's appearance was a little serious, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Aunt Gao, what disease does the child have?" Does it matter? ”

Only then did Gu Xiyan and Han Shi think of the urgent need at hand.

Aunt Gao didn't want any misunderstanding between the two, so she hurriedly said: "The child is eating sandwich food... Who's responsible for feeding her? "The last sentence. It's Han who asked.

Han's face flushed and said, "It's Chunhua." ”

Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not a fever, otherwise, use grass to cool down, the child is so young, it's too dangerous.

Aunt Gao prescribed a prescription for eating and instructed, Gu Xiyan had been out for most of the day, and everyone left Gong Mansion together.

On the road. Gu Xiyan asked Aunt Gao: "Speaking of which, going to you for a doctor, is it recommended by Sister Han... How did you meet Sister Han? ”

Aunt Gao smiled slightly: "I often go to the pass. I had a few thin names in the army, and once Han came to me to see a doctor... We've got to know each other. ”

Is it also a cure for infertility?

Aunt Gao seemed to see Gu Xiyan's thoughts, and said casually: "Han and General Gong are childhood sweethearts, one year General Gong was injured and sick in bed, and it was Han who served in bed, so he lost the child... Later, I couldn't get pregnant. However, she didn't come to me for her own business, and General Gong was injured that time..."

I don't know why, Gu Xiyan felt depressed when she heard it.

Back at the pear orchard, Mrs. Zhou was waiting for her there.

The two sat down in the house, the maidservants served tea, and Gu Xiyan withdrew from the people around her to talk to her.

Mrs. Zhou's words were very tactful: "... Although she has lost a lot of weight, she is in good spirits, has clear thinking, and is articulate. I also found a chef who made food to make up for my body at home... The young lady can rest assured, I believe that Shaoqin will soon recover from the pain of losing her child..."

A bitter smile appeared on Gu Xiyan's face.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou also sighed softly.

After Mrs. Zhou left, Gu Xiyan sat alone in the house for a while, and then called Duan Yingluo: "Let's go to the back street." ”
