Loucheng, inside the old house of the Gu family.

There are seven or eight midwives, and there are countless maids and nurses.

They were all placed in the hall on the left side of the delivery room, and they were waiting for the birth of the little master of the Gu family.

As the so-called old man has a son, it is particularly precious.

Master Gu regards the birth of the concubine as the root of his life.

A few days ago, he began to prepare, and invited the best stable woman in the entire Loucheng, as well as the old Chinese medicine doctor, into the mansion in advance.

On the other hand, in this half month, the poor people can't find the midwife if they want to give birth.

This is the result of the Eastern Jin Dynasty clan and the power politics of the gate lords, on the one hand, they are extremely extravagant, rich and wealthy, and on the other hand, they are poor and unbearable people.

The people of the troubled world, the people of the troubled world, can make a living, and the people are already satisfied. Therefore, in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this contradiction did not evolve into a disaster, on the contrary, it also distorted many people's values, and even took luxury as glory and showed paving as a bearing. This makes any big family or rich family extravagant and wasteful when doing anything, doing a lot of things, just one production, so that Loucheng is known all over the city, and even beggars in the streets and alleys know about it.

Therefore, if the Fengming organization wants to obtain relevant information, it almost does not need to be explored, and it can be obtained at hand. However, the Fengming organization still adopted a rigorous posture as always, and sent people into the Gu family's old mansion to contact the midwife. So as to obtain the first-hand means of production of the Gu family's concubine.

and the various attitudes of the Gu family towards this concubine production, one of which is Mrs. Gu, who can be called the old lady in the Gu family, is only Gu Zhiqing's biological mother, who is marrying Gu Ying's famous family, she is also a local wealthy family in Wu County, but not a Wenmai clan, but born in the Shangwu family, the Zhou family.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the local wealthy families are roughly divided into two types: martial arts and empty talk, martial arts master soldiers and horses, and cultural context masters money and Confucian scholars.

Therefore, even if Old Madam Gu is already old and decrepit, even if those concubines are favored by Old Master Gu and give birth to a young master, they will not be able to replace her status in the Gu family.

It's just that what worries her is that her own son Gu Zhiqing is wandering outside, since Gu Zhiqing was expelled from the Gu family, she has been washing her face with tears all day long, and in just a few months, she has aged a lot. Just as Mrs. Gu sighed again, a little maid walked into the house, first bowed to Mrs. Gu, then took out a card in her arms and put it in Mrs. Gu's hand, and then bowed out of the door.

Old Madam Gu didn't realize anything special at first, but the moment she saw the card, she was alert, and immediately opened it to take a closer look, and suddenly her old eyes were cloudy, and a few tears dropped, and then she spit out a turbid breath and said: "Qing'er, you still think about the pseudo-mother's birthday, so let's spend it with you this year."

Today is not only the day of the Gu family's concubine's birth, but also the birthday of Mrs. Gu. Gu Zhiqing expected that under today's situation, no one in the Gu family would celebrate Old Madam Gu's birthday, so Gu Zhiqing asked the Fengming Organization to send someone in to invite Old Madam Gu to come out and celebrate her by himself.

The banquet had already been prepared, and in order to take into account the identity of the old lady, Gu Zhiqing also deliberately invited Lord Duwei, as well as Lin Bingcao and others, and even the leaders of the major Fengyue teams, the purpose was to make the old lady Gu feel that she would not be lonely if she left the Gu family. In fact, in Gu Zhiqing's heart, she already wanted to take Old Madam Gu out of the Gu family, after all, she was caught between Master Gu and the concubine, and Gu Zhiqing was already a little uncomfortable.

It's just that this idea has never found the right time. Taking advantage of Mrs. Gu's birthday, Gu Zhiqing wanted to do everything about it.

In Furong Alley, she built a favorite Buddhist hall for Mrs. Gu. It also invited a senior monk to speak to her about the Dharma.

At noon, a delicate four-person carrying a sedan chair arrived at Furong Alley. Gu Zhiqing immediately took dozens of singers out of the hospital to greet him, and at the same time, a string of firecrackers was also picked up and lit.

"Greetings to the old lady"

"I wish the old lady a longer life than Nanshan, and happiness like the East China Sea"

When Mrs. Gu stepped down from the sedan chair, she saw Gu Zhiqing in the crowd at a glance, as well as all kinds of singers beside him, Mrs. Gu frowned, and was just about to nag a few words, when she caught a glimpse of an adult in a purple robe, quite a bit of official authority standing on Gu Zhiqing's left, in addition to the purple-robed adult, there was also a burly general, and a wealthy person.

Seeing these people, Mrs. Gu's expression was solemn, and she immediately put on the posture of the old lady of the Gu family, walked out of the sedan ladder with the support of the maid, and then slowly moved to the gate of the courtyard, and then gently raised the Jinpa in her hand and said: "How can He De bother all the adults to congratulate the old man on his birthday, he is really ashamed."

Although Old Madam Gu didn't know Lord Duwei, she had seen the world, and naturally knew that the grade of this purple-robed official robe was not low. Lord Duwei took a step forward and hugged his fist at Mrs. Gu and said, "The garrison Duwei Huan Chong pays a visit to the old birthday star, I wish you good health and eternal appearance."

"Captain? I don't know what the relationship between Lord Huan and Lord Tai Shouhuan is? Old Madam Gu keenly guessed the relationship between him and Taishou from Huan Chong's surname.

"Don't hide it from the old birthday star, Taishou is Uncle Cousin" Huan Chong replied with his fists again.

"It turned out to be a nephew who was too guarded, and the old man was polite here," said Old Madam Gu, who actually bent down and bowed to Huan Chong.

Seeing this, Huan Chong hurriedly dodged and said: "This official and Gu Zhiqing are commensurate with brothers, and the old birthday star is also Huan Chong's elder today, how can he receive such a big gift"

Hearing this, Old Madam Gu stared at Gu Zhiqing with a look of surprise and inexplicable eyes, in her memory, her uncompetitive son had nothing to make her feel brilliant except for causing trouble. Now that he is a brother and brother with a powerful person like Huan Chong, Dao has made her a little honored.

Walking into the main hall, Mrs. Gu was moved by the extremely careful arrangement in front of her, but she saw that there was a huge longevity character in the middle, and there were two huge immortal peaches on both sides, the whole hall was decorated with red silk, and there was a sandalwood incense burner on the corner of each table.

At this time, a big monk wearing a robe and full of precepts knocked on the wooden fish from behind the curtain and walked out, the treasure was solemn, and the old lady Gu was instantly impressed, she said to the big monk with her hands together: "The Zen master is the abbot of Faming Temple?" ”。

"The poor monk is the presiding officer of Faming Temple, Cassia Ming" The great monk also folded his hands and bowed to the old woman.

"Today, Mrs. Gu's birthday, the old man has nothing to give to the female Bodhisattva, so let the old man recite a part of the "Sutra of Amitayus" for you, and add blessings and longevity to the female Bodhisattva."

As he spoke, the Cassia monk struck it with a wooden fish in his hand, and recited the Sutra of Amitayus in his mouth.
