Chapter Eighty-Seven: Theft
"Qingqing, you are only sixteen years old now, and you will be able to raise more in the past two years, and if you are pregnant in the future, you will be able to suffer less crimes."
Gan Tang was moved and didn't know what to say, "You, you are a man, how can you care about these things, it's not that my mother won't tell me about this." ”
On the fifth day of Lu Xun's departure, the Duchess of Yanguo told Gan Tang about this on the day she took Gan Tang to visit her sister-in-law Mao in the lobby.
The Duchess of Yanguo was born at the age of seventeen Lu Xun, and later gave birth to three children in succession, because of the sin of giving birth to Lu Shangyin, and it took many years to raise children carefully, so that Lu Xun's youngest sister is only two years old.
The Duchess of Yanguo also told Gan Tang that she is still young now, and she will have to wait for next year at the earliest.
Duchess Yanguo also said awkwardly, if the two of them are really in a good relationship, and they will be pregnant this year, then she should not work too hard in the future, and the family chores assigned to her will be thrown to Lu Shangyin if she can do it or not, just take care of her body.
Lu Xun and Gan Tang have nothing to say about their relationship, and Gan Tang also estimated that he was afraid that he would become pregnant in a few months, so he thought about taking the time to read the woman's pregnancy book, so that the matter would not really come, and he was at a loss.
I didn't want Lu Xun to think of this earlier than her, and even took the medicine to avoid the child.
Gan Tang has little knowledge in this matter, but she also heard that after the incident between men and women, women took child-avoiding medicine to prevent pregnancy.
For example, those who can afford to marry a wife and accept a concubine have a rule that when the wife has not yet given birth to an eldest son, the concubine and the husband must drink child-avoiding medicine afterwards to prevent pregnancy.
And the man regularly takes child avoidance medicine to prevent pregnancy, Gan Tang really hasn't heard of it at all.
She was a little worried that the medicine would be good or not, but it would have side effects.
"Qingqing, I am a man again, and I am also your husband, although you still don't want to change your words, but I can't be heartless, right? Don't worry, I only care about you, and I can't take care of other people's affairs.
There aren't too many side effects from that medicine, as long as we wait for the two of us to have a baby, we can stop taking the medicine a month in advance. If I can't suffer for my wife, then I will bear more of what I can, as I ought to be. ”
"......" heard the first paragraph and wanted to beat people, and heard the latter part of the "heartless" Mrs. Lu Menggan, who wanted to be a relative, "What nonsense are you talking about, if you really take care of other people's affairs, you are not afraid of being beaten out...... Thank you, husband, for taking care of me. Gan Tang was shy, and quickly kissed Lu Xun's cheek.
Lu Xun wanted to press Gantang's absurdity and go to the court.
Gan Tang looked at Lu Xun's gaze, she knew what he was thinking, she blushed and flashed watery eyes pushed Lu Xun out, she sent Lu Xun until the second door before taking the maid to say goodbye to her mother-in-law.
After sitting at the Duchess of Yanguo for half an hour, the Duchess of Yanguo was going to take care of him in the courtyard of the second brother of Lu.
Gan Tang is the wife of the Lu family again, the sister-in-law of the second brother of Lu, after all, the second brother of Lu has grown up, unless necessary, it is not good for her to go to the house of the second brother of Lu, so she and Lu Shangyin went to the kitchen to prepare some medicinal food for the second brother of Lu to replenish his body.
This medicinal diet is still being made, and someone suddenly comes to the other end, and the Qian family of Tan County sent someone to pay a visit to Mrs. Shizi.
Gan Tang was up, she originally asked the Qian family of Tan County to draw up a list of mountain bandits near Tan County, and in February this year, they sent a letter to answer the matter, and then there was no letter.
In mid-April, when Gan Tang had just known the reason for the ruin of his family and was very irrational, he wrote to urge the Qian family, and wanted to write a letter to summon Gan Tang's mother's original maid Sister Weiqin to return to Yan Long.
Later, she was persuaded to stop it, and she didn't ask much about it.
But Sister Wei Qin came to her in July with Mrs. Wu who was rescued by Gan Tang in Fenghuang County to give her a wedding gift.
Gan Tang wanted them to stay until after her wedding, but Wu Niangzi said that she was an ominous person and was afraid of damaging the blessings of Gantang's wedding, so she left the next day, and Sister Weiqin did not stay until the day of Gantang's wedding.
Now, Second Uncle Gan is dead, and Wei Jingsan still doesn't know where to go, Gan Tang is still unwilling in his heart, and he can only hope that Sister Weiqin can identify the bandits who killed her father and mother according to the mountain bandit record.
Gan Tang had a complicated mood and met the Qian family's particularly elegant and noble Mrs. Qian.
When Mrs. Qian took out the mountain bandit record, she pleaded again and again, "Mrs. Shizi, I'm not afraid that you know that our salt merchant's house is stained with black and white, and the Cao Gang in the area of the Bo River has to send a lot of gifts to our Qian family every year.
Therefore, Mrs. Shizi, this list must not be leaked, and no one can know that this is given to you by my Qian family, otherwise this will be a disaster for my Qian family...... And as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes, and you will not please them at that time. ”
If she could, Mrs. Qian didn't want to threaten Gan Tang, when Gan Tang was just Gan's daughter, Qian was afraid of her and didn't want to have a head-on conflict with her, and now that Gan Tang has a fate, Qian can't afford to provoke her.
But it is also that sentence, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, if it is known that the Qian family secretly collected mountain bandit records for Gantang, and the Qian family will have a lot of trouble after playing.
If those bandits knew that their appearance and characteristics were known to Gan Tang, they would definitely spare no effort to hunt her down and snatch the mountain bandit record back.
"Madam, don't worry, I will only look for the one I want, and when I find it, I will burn this list and never keep it." Gan Tang is not stupid, if she is responsible for suppressing bandits, she will hand over the mountain bandits, but she is just a housemaiden, she doesn't have that much ability, as long as she spares no effort to hunt down the mountain bandit who killed her parents and brother, she will not know that others exist.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qian breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Gan Tang would hand over the mountain bandit record, although it was ...... Rich and selfish...... But the risk of handing over the whole book is too great, as long as Gan Tang can kill two people who are in the way of their Qian family, their Qian family will also earn.
Lu Xun came back from the next court, and when the two of them were about to go to bed at night, she locked herself in a box and hid the mountain bandit at the bottom of the cabinet to show Lu Xun, and then told Lu Xun her plan.
Lu Xun gritted his teeth when he heard this, his little wife, had this plan last year, but this year, they were married for more than a month before telling him!
Look at him and don't her for a while! Let her know to be afraid!
"Husband, I still have to report this matter to the official in the end, at that time, you can help me keep an eye on it, let the government officials send more soldiers to arrest people, and I am not afraid of a long time, as long as he can be arrested, as long as I can see him punished with my own eyes, I can wait." Gan Tang said firmly.
Gan Tang is not ready to use lynching, if this is not done well, she will be slandered and a nest of bandits, snakes and rats, she can't destroy herself, destroy the Gan family, and destroy the Lu family, so she will do it in accordance with the law of the Fu Dynasty, it will take three and a half years to arrest people, and she is willing to wait, as long as she sees the enemy killed.
Lu Xun saw Gan Tang's face was indignant, and he hugged her distressedly, "Okay, Qingqing, leave this matter to me, and I'll help you keep an eye on it." ”
Gan Tang took the initiative to kiss Lu Xun and expressed his gratitude, Lu Xun turned over and pressed her, and told her that if he had a plan in his heart in the future, he would let him know as a husband no matter what, and if he dared to forget it once, he would kill her.
Gan Tang used the back pain of the second day and the whole day to understand how unhappy Lu Xun was because she had only told him about the plan she had last year.
After a month and a half, Gan Tang wrote to Sister Wei Qin, who knew the seriousness of the matter, and came to Yan Longcheng on the second day after receiving the letter.
In half a month, Wei Qin arrived in Yanlong City, and Gan Tang happily welcomed her into the Yanguo Mansion.
The two chatted for a while, and Gan Tang asked Mama Li to get drunk and Xun'er, and the three of them went to guard the courtyard gate, the door and the maids who had now put their names and faces on them.
After arranging all this, Gan Tang went to get the key and took out a small box on the bedside table, which was also locked, and Gan Tang found the key to open the lock.
Suddenly, her eyes widened that her keys could not open the box.
She was unwilling to try again, but she still couldn't open it.
Obviously, it was still open yesterday.
Gan Tang called Mama Li in and asked her who had touched her bed from yesterday to today.
Gan Tang first came to the Yanguo Mansion, although Lu Xun told her about the background of the people in his yard and told her that they could be used after cultivating a tacit understanding, but the three of her most trusted were Mama Li, Drunken Son, and Xun'er, so only the three of them knew about such secrets.
And because there is a secret to hide now, that is, the three maids on Lu Xun's side and the three waitresses on his side can enter the house to serve tea and make the bed and fold the quilt, and Gan Tang also ordered the three waiters on Lu Xun's side not to touch her and Lu Xun's bed in this month and a half.
What went wrong at that point?
Gan Tang tried to think about it, and Mama Li was also thinking about who had touched the bed from yesterday to today.
Sister Wei Qin saw that Gan Tang was flustered, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Girl, you are a thoughtful person, don't worry, things will definitely be recovered." ”
Gan Tang nodded sloppily, and then decided to call all the six people who could enter the house to inquire.
Gan Tang looked at the three people who were originally serving in this courtyard, and remembered a small mistake when he assigned the personnel of this courtyard.
Gan Tang was on the second day after Lu Xun went to the North Military Camp, accompanied by his mother-in-law's personal maid Mama Lu, to make personnel arrangements for her and Lu Xun's current house.
In order to wait for Gan Tang all these years, Lu Xun asked his mother to arrange for his young maids to go elsewhere in his early years, leaving only one grandmother to be his housekeeper, and six married women who washed and cleaned the courtyard with eleven rooms, and dozens of small maids who worked here during the day and slept in the outer courtyard at night.
After Gan Tang moved in, because she also brought twelve people, the original empty house in this courtyard, except for the side room and the side room, was for Gan Tang and Lu Xun's future children and Lu Xun's future concubines, and they had to be empty first, and the other rooms were used to temporarily house the twelve people brought by Gan Tang.
