Jade color and fragrance

Chapter 95
After Liu Xi's letter was unfolded, Yan Yu still felt a little uneasy.

The letter said that he had sent Jiji and several other letters, but they were all intercepted by Her Highness the Princess, and he only found out about it yesterday.So this letter was sent back to the capital in person by soldiers.

After urgently mobilizing officials from surrounding states and counties to Yangzhou, the emperor reduced taxes for Yangzhou and restored people's livelihood. Yangzhou has gradually settled down.He was confident that he would be able to return to the capital in a year's time. At the end of the letter, he asked her to wait for him.

Every time she read Liu Xi's letter, Aunt Xian felt that the girl was like that old woman who was preoccupied and depressed.

"Girl, what's wrong?"

"Nurse, I don't want to read his letters in the future. Now that I'm engaged to His Highness, I want to separate myself from him."

"The soldiers of the prince of the county, do you still see him? The man said that there is a gift to present to you face to face."

"No, tell him not to send letters in the future. I'm engaged, and I have no destiny with him in this life. Please let him go."

"Hey, girl, you should rest earlier!"

The sun was still rising high, everything in the capital was still as usual, and Yan Yu was still busy every day.

Now she is in charge of the Girls' Hall herself, and Mr. Zhou is busy with the opening of the cloth shop.

Yan Yu finally found time to go to the White Mansion. The elder cousin took Zhongju very lightly and had already buried himself in his studies, preparing for next year's Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, he was about to marry Miss Fang; It was told that there was indeed a boy in the belly, and she and her second uncle were overjoyed, and they were already looking forward to having a girl in the future, so that they would have both children.

The eldest aunt ended the marriage of the eldest cousin, and she really felt much better.Luo Baizhen's marriage has already started, Bai Zhen winks at Yan Yu hurriedly, Yan Yu grabs the sleeve of the auntie, saying that she wants her cousin to live in the house for a while, and the baby girl's hall is too busy, so Bai Zhen needs to come and help her. handle.

The eldest aunt naturally agreed, and they couldn't wait for the second uncle to come back, and they didn't study painting, so they quickly packed up their things and slipped away.

Before leaving, Bai Zhen yelled at his mother: "Mother, I don't want to get married yet, you can talk about it when I come back."

She was well prepared and would definitely wait for Gu Chen to come back, so she had already planned various plans to refuse the marriage.

"You friend, your cousin is two years younger than you, and she is getting married. Do you want to stay as an old girl?" the eldest aunt shouted after the car.

The two sat down firmly, Bai Zhen hugged Yan Yu and said, "Cousin, why did you come? If you don't come, I will be married."

Yan Yu felt ashamed and didn't dare to answer her, she just said: "Cousin, it's great of you to help me, you don't know, I'm so busy every day like a spinning top, I'm so tired!"

"I'm here, so you can relax a bit." After finishing speaking, he pushed her again: "You little clever ghost, if you hadn't been engaged, why would mother persecute me like this."

"I'm sorry, cousin, please forgive me. I'll take you to the pastry shop to eat pastries."

When the pastry shop opened, they sent a gift box to Baifu, which Bai Zhen never forgot.

"Then just wait, I can eat very much."

When they finally went to the Girls' Hall, both of them were full from pastries.

A woman dressed plainly, with old but neat clothes, no accessories, and neatly combed hair, was wandering in front of the hall.Seeing Yan Yu coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

She knelt down courteously, and said: "Master, you are here, and the women have something to ask, please listen to what the women have to say."

Shan Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, Yan Yu asked: "What do you need, please get up quickly?"

"The woman's surname is Zhang, and she is from Liujia Village in the west of the city. The husband of the woman died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a mother-in-law who was paralyzed in bed. After all these years, I really can't afford it. The woman heard that if you Adopting a child here, I can get half a tael of silver every month, so I want to ask the county lord. The woman also wants to take a child back. We have no children, and the woman will definitely treat her as her own child, and carry her on her back wherever she goes. Body, do your best to raise up."

"You mean you want to adopt a child too."

"Yes, county magistrate, the woman has no children, and she doesn't plan to remarry. I beg you to be merciful and adopt one for the woman."

"I know about this matter, but the matter of adopting a child is of great importance. I have to report it to the household department. You can listen to it tomorrow."

"Thank you, county lord, thank you county lord."

A few people entered the baby girl's hall, and Yan Yu asked someone to call Mr. Zhou.

When Mr. Zhou heard about this, he was only silent.

Yan Yu asked: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

"Girl, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Those who adopt their own children back, we don't have to worry too much about their safety. But if children without a name are taken back, what should we do if something happens outside?"

Aunt Xian also said: "If that woman has a vicious heart and receives silver taels a month but doesn't treat the child well, then the child will be pitiful."

"Mr. Zhou, Nanny, I have seen that woman before. She is honest and honest. She has a paralyzed mother-in-law, but she has never considered remarrying, and she has taken care of herself very well."

Mr. Zhou: "You still want to fulfill her?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou. When the woman arrives tomorrow, let's go and check in person. Find out the real situation in her home, and also go to the village to hear what Lizheng and the villagers think."

"You mean, come to check her character personally?"

"Yes, if she can really treat the child kindly, then the child can become a blessed person."

"But if the child's parents want to take the child back in the future."

"You are right in reminding. If this is the case, then it cannot be adopted, but surrogate. Do you think it is feasible?"

"Surrogate?"

"Yes, to raise the child on behalf of others. The woman is only asking for half a tael a month. If she really wants the child, she will think of other ways in the future. Let's help her tide over the current difficulties first."

"Okay, let's try this method first. If it works, we can slowly promote it in the future."

On the second day, Yan Yu, Bai Zhen, Mr. Zhou, and Liu Sheng arrived at Liujia Village under the guidance of Aunt Zhang.Yan Yu and others went directly to Aunt Zhang's house, while Mr. Zhou and Liu Sheng took them to the head of the village.

My aunt's house is solid, and it doesn't look old, but the furnishings inside are indeed outdated.

"Master, please come in; distinguished guests, please come in."

Lanyue and others took out pastries and a big bag of rice noodles, and sent them to Aunt Zhang, who accepted them gratefully.

After serving warm water to everyone, she said: "The wife's husband was a hardworking carpenter before his death. Before he got sick, the family of three lived well. But he suddenly fell ill, and the family's savings were exhausted, so they couldn't keep him. The mother-in-law was paralyzed by a stroke in grief, and the family could only be carried by the woman. The mother-in-law used to love the woman, but now that her husband is gone, the woman cannot see her mother-in-law alone. She has never planned to remarry. She is sick and cannot live without people around her, and women cannot go out to work, so the situation is getting worse. "
