The Young Lady of the General’s House

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four

Buying a well-groomed maid at the gang shop is no more than two taels of silver at most. Shen Jin said that a dozen taels is a lot, and even this matter has nothing to do with Shen Jin, if it is not seen in the house in a coma. For children who are not awake, Shen Jin will not even speak.

Yue Wen glared at everyone, followed Shen Jin and the others into the room, and then closed the door tightly. The men and women outside the room looked at each other. The old man on the ground screamed a few times and saw that no one had come out. When she cried, she was helped up. The woman who was lying on the ground panicked in this weather, the woman whose eyes were swollen from crying suddenly said, "What about the kid?"

"Twelve taels of silver." The old woman who was about to die just now looked at her thin but in good spirits, "So much."

The man is also a little emotional. The son is sad when he is dead, but he is already dead, and he will be born again. Even if his wife can’t give birth, he can buy a daughter-in-law when he has a dozen silver dollars. His father said, "Go back first."

"Okay." The man replied, and the family went home without making a fuss.

This village is already poor, and this family is considered poor in this village. It can be said that they are a family member. If it weren’t for the purpose of having a son, they wouldn’t be so poor that they would only have seven daughters. She gave birth to her only son, but the woman has given birth to so many consecutively. He hurt his body. The son was born weak. In order to raise this son and let him marry a daughter-in-law, the old man sold all seven daughters directly. Their only grandson died, and the old man was also sad.

In fact, there was a granddaughter before this grandson, but she was sold when she was five years old, and she even sold people directly to that dirty place in order to make more money.

After returning, the man looked at the old man and asked, "Father, what do you say?"

The old man kicked his feet at the door, removed the mud from his feet and said, "Old lady is going to cook."

In this home, there is no room for women to intervene if they want to talk about business matters. The man’s daughter-in-law did not say anything, and went to the kitchen to cook with the old woman. Her son’s body was left at home before it was buried. In the yard, I found a linen cloth.

The old man said, "Twelve taels are too few."

The man suddenly reacted and said, "Yes, they are so rich, they must give at least... a hundred taels!"

The old man nodded, "This is the only Miaomiao in my family. Of course they will lose money if they kill the baby. Anyway, they are so rich. One hundred taels is nothing at all. You will find more people in the village..."

The more the father and son talked, the more they felt so, and even felt that if it were not for them, their baby would not die.

An Yi gently rubbed Shen Jin's swollen legs, and An Ning went to take care of the unconscious child before coming back and saying, "Second Sister and those people have already left."

"En." Shen Jinying asked, "Is the child still awake?"

An Ning shook her head and said, "Not yet."

"Let the first four go down the mountain tomorrow and invite the doctor up in advance." Shen Jin thought for a while and said, they have done everything they can do. Whether they can get through it depends on the child himself, "the village chief has not come back yet?"

"No." It was An Yi who was talking, "The village head's family has gone to visit relatives. It will take at least ten days before they will come back."

Shen Jin nodded and didn't say anything. An Ning asked, "Second sister, do you think they will give up for a dozen silver dollars?"

"No." Shen Jin said, lowering his eyes slightly, "I'm afraid there will be more noise tomorrow."

Although An Yi likes children, Shen Jin is obviously more important, and said, "It's better to let Grade A go late. After all, two fists are hard to beat four hands."

"It's okay." Shen Jin said, "Let Yue Wen go out tomorrow. They are not willing to ask for these ten taels of silver. Some people are willing to ask for it."

An Yi was taken aback for a moment and reacted and said, "Yes, these ten taels of silver are not a small number for these people. When the time comes, whoever handles these troublemakers so that they will not be disturbed again, they will be paid. Twelve taels of silver is good."

"En." Shen Jin said, no longer bothering about this family, "Any and Yue Wen can go out to deal with it tomorrow."

"Yes." An Yi thought about it carefully, and felt that she still couldn't take out all the money directly, and first took out her usual money...

An Ning took a look, and then went out to pass a message to Yue Wen. Yue Wen was also uncomfortable at this time. It was obvious that he was only saving people, and it was not he who pushed the two children into the water. Why those people kept making trouble, if so. Because he made his wife fetal gas instead, how could he still have the face to see the general, and he felt especially guilty in thinking about it this way.

"Second sister asked Jia Si to invite the doctor's family up the mountain in advance tomorrow to see the child." An Ning said after coming in.

Yue Wen frowned and said, "I'm afraid those people will make trouble tomorrow, why don't you wait?"

An Ning said, "Don't worry, the second elder sister already has a solution." She repeated Shen Jin's words again, and Yue Wen's heart was slightly calmer.

Jia Si heard the words and smiled, "Madam still has a way. I will go down the mountain early in the morning and try my best to come back the day after tomorrow."

Yue Wen patted Jiasi's shoulder and said, "Safety is the top priority."

Jia Si nodded, An Ning bit his lip and asked, "A Si, is there no news about Antao and the others yet?"

Hearing An Ning's words, Jia Si shook his head, "I'll go and inquire again this time."

In the border town, the doctors have all been invited to treat Chu Xiuyao, but the results are the same as the last doctor, but an old military doctor said, “In fact, this kind of thing is not in a hurry. The loss is severe, and the human head is the most mysterious. Maybe he will slowly remember it in a familiar place."

Chu Xiuming also felt that what the old military doctor said was reasonable, so he took Chu Xiuyao with him when he was in the General Mansion. At this time, they were in the room specially arranged by Madam Zhao. The floor of this room was covered with thick mattresses. There was still a fluffy leather on it. Dong Dong was playing with Xiao Budian while Chu Chenbo looked at Chu Xiuyao cautiously. Chu Xiuming had already told him that this man was his father, but he was born very seriously. I don’t recognize people anymore. Chu Chenbo’s last bit of resentment towards his father disappeared as he saw Chu Xiuyao. His father didn’t want him or didn’t look for him, but his father was ill and couldn’t find it He, his father doesn't even know his uncle now.

Chu Chenbo was also playing Jiulianhuan, but he was sitting close to Chu Xiuyao and looked up at him from time to time. Even if he was playing with Dongdong, he would turn his head to look at Chu Xiuyao after a while, Chu Although Xiu Ming was looking at the official document from the side, he also noticed their situation. Dongdong played for a while and crawled to Chu Xiuming's side, and then sat down in his arms.

Dongdong already knows how to walk, but when he was just learning to walk, he was obviously unstable, but Dongdong liked to walk on his own, and even wanted to run on his legs. When he was able to walk, he didn’t like walking. , On the contrary, he liked to crawl around, so that everyone didn’t know what to say. Chu Xiuming simply waved to let Chu Chenbo sit together. Chu Xiuyao was beside Chu Xiuming, and Chu Chenbo chose to sit between the two. , The little hand touched Chu Xiuyao's hand secretly, only to think that Chu Xiuyao was very thin.

Chu Xiuyao was still dumb and stupid, and did not move. Chu Chenbo felt a little relieved, but also a little lost. Chu Xiuming reached out and rubbed Chu Chenbo's head because of the environment in which Chu Chenbo grew up. His hair is very bad, and there are lice and other things. Finally, after asking him, he simply shaved his hair. Nowadays, Mother Zhao often makes some cakes such as black sesame and walnuts. He still drinks goat's milk every morning and evening, and his hair grows out again. Although it is still short, it looks good.

Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, just holding Dongdong, and then reading it word by word with the official document. Chu Chenbo was also attracted to him. He has always envied the children of the rich who can read. The opportunity is naturally unwilling to let it go.

Other children’s enlightenment uses the "San Zi Jing", and Chu Xiuming directly used official documents for them, especially Dongdong is under two years old, and at this time he doesn’t understand at all, sometimes just follow Chu Xiuming’s words. Two characters, and Chu Chenbo was also particularly struggling. He tried to compare the pronunciation with the characters on the official document. Although Chu Xiuming slowed down, he didn't mean to stop.

The little little head was pressed on the paws, and he yawned, his ears moved, and his tail swayed again and again. It kind of missed the hostess. There are always good things to eat with the hostess, Zhao Mother hadn't made dried meat for a long time, so Xiao Budian sighed with her mouth wide open.

In the court hall, it has been a long time since the emperor came to the early court. Many courtiers were already disturbed and their own plans. Now most of the matters are handled by the prime minister and several important ministers together. This is the will of the emperor Cheng. I personally called these people to the bedside and explained a lot of things carefully, but when they were finished, they had to be sent to Emperor Cheng for their purpose. Among them was Gong Cheng, but now Cheng En Gong is no longer the prime minister. So even if Emperor Cheng asked him to deal with the affairs of the court together with several other ministers, not many people would wait to see him, let alone listen to him.

When the time came, a few of those who were promoted by Emperor Cheng had taken refuge in Cheng Engong's side.

The prime minister nowadays is a veteran in the court, a recognized good old man, and a scholar of the first emperor. At that time, the king of England led troops to Beijing and killed a group of ministers. Emperor Cheng became the throne and dealt with a group of ministers, making the court empty. He promoted a lot of ministers who were originally sent abroad. The current prime minister is one of them. He has never had any opinions of his own. No matter what Emperor Cheng said, he will continue to do it. Later, Emperor Cheng also needed a prime minister, but he didn't want to find someone who was against him, and the person he promoted was not qualified enough, so he brought this good old man to the position of prime minister.

At this time, the good man didn’t say a word and watched everyone arguing. There had been arguing about whether to send troops for several days. The good man who had not spoken finally said, “Even if you want to send troops, who will lead the troops?” He swept. Looking at the people below, "Who has the ability to defeat the King of England?"
