Chapter 272 The Storm Is Coming ([-])

Mrs. Han hesitated and said: "I mean, can we set up a private school. Let the boys have an enlightenment. If there is a job for that day, we will let them study. If not, you can find a tent or something like that. As for the girls, I would like to ask the young lady of the Cui family to take the lead and teach the red girls. In this way, we can not only solve the problem of insufficient manpower in our sewing team, but also give those little girls the skills to make a living. , in the future, even if you are married, you can also use this to sew, mend, starch and wash clothes... Look at my idea, whether it is okay or not!"

"Why not!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile, "Sister's idea coincides with mine."

Han Shi looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise.

Gu Xiyan pondered: "Ever since I went to Jiufeng's church and saw those children, I have had such an idea. However, this matter is somewhat difficult to operate. One is the identity of those children, and the other is The attitude of the church on this matter."

"I can understand the identities of the children you mentioned. I'm afraid they are from Liangdi or Jindi, who have the hatred of destroying their families. We have spent so much effort, but we have raised a supercilious look, and instead treat Yandi What kind of harm will it cause?" Han frowned slightly, "But I don't understand the attitude of the church when you talk about it. I have also met Father Bai. He is kind-hearted and kind...not a bad person!"

Gu Xiyan smiled wryly and said, "It's not that he's a bad person... People in Yandi are Taoist. If Father Bai and the others take advantage of this incident, or use our identity to preach, then we will probably be very passive!"

Han didn't argue, but had a bitter smile on her face: "Young Madam's worries are justified..."

"How about, sister talk to Priest Bai." Gu Xiyan said: "Look at his thoughts, and tell him our worries... He is also a transparent person, so he should be able to understand. Speaking of which, they have experience in doing this kind of thing, and it would be the best if the two can cooperate. Like them, it is not a long-term solution to always expect others to give some money to support the children!"

Han Shi nodded: "This matter really needs to be discussed in the long run."

The two of them were talking, when a girl came outside to report: "The eldest grandma of the Cui family is here!"

Gu Xiyan and Han Shi were slightly startled, Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's also for the purpose of giving a marriage! Please invite her in!" The last sentence was for the girls.

Gu Xiyan asked Taozhi, who was serving at the side, to add an extra seat. As soon as Taozhi's stool was brought to the table, Liu Meier rushed in. She frowned and looked a little flustered. When she saw Mrs. Han, she hurriedly ordered a seat. Turning his head, he said anxiously: "What happened, why did you suddenly get married... Isn't this bullying?"

"Look at your panic! Sit down and have a cup of tea first!" Gu Xiyan smiled and asked Tao Zhi to make her a cup of tea, "Have you had breakfast yet!"

"I heard the news when I came here, how can I have breakfast!" Liu Mei'er sat down, and seeing Gu Xiyan's expression was calm, she didn't seem to have anything to do, and her heart was a little calmer, "This Is it true or false?"

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "It's true..."

As soon as her words fell, Liu Meier frowned: "Then you still have the mood to sit here and eat and drink! Hurry up and think of a way!"

Gu Xiyan looked at the two thin drops of sweat beside Liu Mei'er's temples, and her eyes felt hot.

It's the season to wear jackets, but Liu Mei'er's head is covered with sweat, presumably she's very anxious...

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas about this matter... Sister, thank you for coming to see me!" Gu Xiyan said sincerely.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Meier scolded, "I won't come to see you, who else will come to see you..." At this point, the corner of his eyes caught sight of Mrs. Han, and hurriedly said, "And Han Sister and Sister Liang are also very concerned about your affairs!"

Gu Xiyan looked at Han Shi and Liu Meier beside her, and felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "Got it..."

Liu Meier was not as optimistic as Gu Xiyan, and hurriedly said: "Is there something you can do... Or, tell your aunt to let her not recognize that daughter-in-law... Or, you can move to Dexin now. to live in the hospital..."

Liu Meier's thoughts are pure, Gu Xiyan saw her chattering very worriedly, and while being grateful, she didn't want her to be troubled by her own affairs, so she hurriedly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I was just looking for you! "

"Looking for me?" Liu Meier wondered, "Why are you looking for me?"

Gu Xiyan told Liu Meier what she had just said to Han Shi: "If you are too busy alone, see if you can invite Lu Jiuniang out..."

As expected, Liu Meier's attention was diverted, and she was eager to try: "Don't worry, I wrote to my mother and asked her to come and invite Lu Jiuniang in person, and I also wrote to my eldest sister to ask her to come and help... Anyway, she is also here. I have nothing to do at home... but where can I teach? Although our house is spacious, my ninth aunt will bring the children to visit for a while in a few days... You know, we live in the ancestral house of the Cui family ... If it is fixed at our house, we have to report this matter to the old lady..."

Gu Xiyan saw that Liu Mei'er was no longer talking blindly about the gift of marriage, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This matter is just a temporary suggestion, to be done, there will be a lot of planning. Zhuang, as you said, we have to solve local problems... So, we still need to invite Liang Zhangzhu, so that everyone can make up their minds."

Liu Meier said: "Then let's invite Sister Liang here now! The sooner this matter is done, the better. You don't know, it's almost winter, and many people's lives are hard..."

Gu Xiyan's heart moved, and she discussed with the Han family: "Why don't we open a porridge shed for the time being this winter... mobilize all the wealthy households in Yongzhou City... donate money and goods, and then build a monument Put something like that in a conspicuous place, give them a good name... Sister Han, what do you think?"

Mrs. Han agreed: "I'm afraid we need to discuss this matter with the Duke..." Then she lowered her voice, "That's a matter of popular support..."

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

Liu Meier ordered someone to invite Liang Zhangzhu.

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

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

Xiao Cui was taken aback: "Let me host... this has always been a matter for men!"

Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "The men have all gone to war...don't let us women and children have enough to eat!"

Little Cui was a little tempted, but still said: "I still need to write a letter to discuss with your elder brother..."

Gu Xiyan nodded again and again: "That's for sure!"

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

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

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

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

"It's true." Shi Nanny's face turned pale: "The people over there at Xizhao have told me very clearly, and the grandmas in the other rooms of the Qi family have all visited the Young Madam!"

Fang Shaoqin's face turned gray.

Nanny Shi stammered: "Girl, look, how can we handle this matter?"

The queen mother died, and the Fang family was handed over to the sixth uncle. Yang Yu only favored the Yu family, and the sixth uncle made things difficult for Yang Yu in the government. The royal family was disrespectful, except for the name of the Duke of the country, to imitate others, but in fact secretly took this opportunity to readjust the officials of the Ministry of War and install their own people.The Sixth Uncle remained calm and used food, grass and military salaries to contain the battles of the Governor's Mansion in Liang Ting, so that the battles in Liang were repeated repeatedly, and countless soldiers were lost... With the instability of the war in Liang and the weakening of Yang Yu's prestige in the court, this is the reason. With the birth of the son-in-law, this is the canonization of the prince... I thought that as long as the Fang family had a firm foothold in the temple and waited for a few years, things would get better, but who knew that Fei'er died, The court suddenly gave Qi Hao a marriage...

Is this matter the Fang family's idea, or the emperor's idea?
Fang Shaoqin cheered up: "Do you know who married here?"

There was a bit of hesitation in Madam Shi's expression: "I heard that it's the girl from the Ninth Room, named Shao Rui..."

As if struck by lightning, Fang Shaoqin said in surprise, "Yes, from the Fang family?"

Nanny Shi nodded.

"How did this happen? How did this happen?" Fang Shaoqin murmured dully.

What is this all about, what is he, the dead Fei'er?
A sense of sadness welled up in Fang Shaoqin's heart. Like a drowning person eager to hug a piece of driftwood, she asked Nanny Shi for help: "Yuguan, does Yuguan know?"

Nanny Shi hesitated for a while before saying in a low voice: "Eldest Young Master, shut yourself in the room and not let anyone in... I didn't come out for lunch, I, I haven't had time to tell Eldest Young Master yet!"

Fang Shaoqin waved his hand feebly: "Nurse, go down!"

Nanny Shi's expression was uncertain, she hesitated for a while, and asked softly as if asking for proof: "Miss, is it because Xizhao's side is no longer usable!"

Fang Shaoqin was expressionless, turned her head slowly, and stared straight at Nanny Shi without saying a word.

Nanny Shi slowly lowered her head.

The sky gradually darkened, and the darkness soon enveloped everything. Fang Shaoqin and Nanny Shi were relatively speechless, staring blankly in the night like wooden sculptures, gradually melting into the darkness.
