Seeing that the east wind returns, the struggle for teaching is the most complicated

It was a mess, thousands of conflicting thoughts made her mouth dry.At this moment, a group of maids and servants surrounded by flowers came out of the hall, and Chu Heng hurriedly searched among the crowd.

is her.She recognized it immediately.Although I have never met Ming Lan, but just take a look, such picturesque eyebrows, such a pretty expression, can only be that person.

It turned out that he was really inferior to her, far inferior.Chu Heng sighed in his heart, but surprisingly, he didn't feel much lost.Maybe this is better, she doesn't have to feel that she has failed, God has never arranged an opponent for such a woman.

Chu Heng looked at Minglan in a daze.She was wearing a light red trousers, covering her somewhat bloated waist—her belly was even more obvious than Chu Heng's, and it was six or seven months old.She affectionately supported a gray-haired old lady. The old lady's eyebrows were a little sharp, but she didn't know what she said, and the old lady smiled happily. old grandmother.

Minglan was also smiling, Chu Heng thought, she must be very happy, only happy people can have such a comfortable smile.She felt relieved: Minglan was right, if she married into the He family, she would not be able to smile so happily and live so freely.He Hongwen really lost. Only a man who can afford this kind of happiness is worthy of such a beauty.

When walking past Chu Heng, Minglan took a look at her—to be precise, she saw her similarly bulging belly.She smiled at Chu Heng, and Chu Heng suddenly felt that the sun was shining brightly.Old Madam Sheng seemed to notice it, and smiled at Chu Heng, and a gentle smile bloomed on Chu Heng's face unconsciously.At that moment, the fetus in her womb suddenly moved.

Chu Heng stroked his stomach, watching Minglan and his party go away.I thought to myself: I am excited when I see a girl from the Sheng family, this kid should not just follow his father just like that, right?

"If this is a boy, let him take the No. [-] Scholar Examination, okay?" She said to He Hongwen at night.

He Hongwen was full of doubts, but he still replied: "As long as you like it."

Chu Heng looked at her husband angrily, regretting talking nonsense with him.Back then, Sheng Yushi's father ordered Tanhua and married the eldest lady of Yongyihou's Mansion; my son may not be able to marry Gu Tingye's daughter in the future.

"In the future, I must be more promising than your father, and marry the most satisfactory daughter-in-law." She educated the fetus in her heart, and the little thing moved twice, which was the answer.

As soon as He Hongwen entered the second gate, he saw He's mother's maid, Xueya, coming straight to him from the anteroom: "Madam, please, young master, go to Maoxuan Hall right now."

He Hongwen was a little puzzled, and replied, "I'll come as soon as I change my clothes." Xue Ya didn't say much, and agreed to go.

He Hongwen returned to the room, changed his clothes, and asked Chu Heng: "The people in my mother's room are waiting for me at the door, do you know what's going on?"

Chu Heng smiled, "Someone sent a letter from the Cao family today. I heard that my wife and sister Cao have been crying all day. I don't know what happened."

He Hongwen frowned.The Cao family... probably won't be a good thing.

Sure enough, when he came to Mother He's room, he saw his mother wiping her tears, and Cao Jinxiu's eyes were crying like peaches.Before he could speak, Cao Jinxiu had already knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Cousin, I don't have the face to beg you again, but...you want to save my parents' lives!"

Help?He Hongwen's first reaction was that Aunt Cao had some intractable disease. He looked at his mother and asked, "Where did you start?"

"Jin'er, get up and show Hong'er your mother's letter." Mother He wiped away her tears.

Cao Jinxiu seemed a little hesitant, but she still got up and handed over the letter that had shed countless tears.He mother's maid, Xiarui, was newly selected by Chu Heng, she had a wink, and immediately came over to receive the letter, and then presented it to He Hongwen with both hands.Cao Jinxiu was angry for a while, knowing that Chu Heng had chosen it specially to prevent her from seducing He Hongwen, but she couldn't pick anything out, and the most important thing at the moment was her natal family's affairs, so she just gouged out Xia Rui With a glance, he bit his lip.Xiarui didn't realize it, and stood in front of He Mu's bed in a well-behaved manner.

However, He Hongwen didn't pay attention to these activities. He took the letter and read it hastily. The more he read it, the more he felt dizzy.The letter was written to He's mother, which meant that when they arrived at their hometown, they bought some properties with the money given by He's family, and they could live on.Not wanting the sons to be worthless, the eldest son outsourced a prostitute, and even stole the little dowry left by his wife to fill the flower debt. Now the wife is only arguing for reconciliation, and she must ask for the dowry, and Aunt Cao can't hold back; The son and the six sons were tricked by the clansmen into a gambling gathering, and even lost all the property in the family. The creditor chased after the door and said that the two sons would be hacked to death for not having book coupons. In the end, she begged her husband to give the land deed to the debt collector.Now all the properties left behind have been wiped out, and there is only one property left for the whole family to live in.She went to the gambler to ask for an explanation, but was beaten out.The rest of the clan are also very stingy, neither willing to uphold justice nor extend their hands to help.Now the family is sitting and eating, and I am afraid that when the letter arrives in Beijing, the Cao family will have no way to survive.

He Hongwen frowned while reading the letter. When Cao Jinxiu saw it, he took a step forward and grabbed He Hongwen's arm, crying: "Cousin, please, you, please save my parents! Jin'er I am willing to be your cow and horse!" Then he knelt on the ground, hugged his leg and cried loudly.

Because of Minglan's matter, He Hongwen had long been determined not to have skin-to-skin relationship with Cao Jinxiu; he had been repeatedly stabbed by Chu Heng, and now he was quite afraid of Cao Jinxiu being close to her. , trying to break free from her, Cao Jinxiu refused to let her go.Fortunately, Grandma Huang couldn't stand it anymore, she stepped forward to help Cao Jinxiu and said, "Auntie, get up, your wife is in charge. How many slaves are there, and what does it look like?" Cao Jinxiu let go of her hand and wiped her tears stood up.

He Hongwen was already five points awkward. Seeing his mother looking at him, he said: "The Cao family wrote the paperwork that day, and sister Jin'er entered the He family's door. The He family and the Cao family are no longer relatives. Now The paperwork is still there, not to mention such prostitution and gambling, we can't control it."

In fact, Mother He also thought about the paperwork, but she only thought about how to speak to her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect her son to say that, her lips trembled for a while, and she was speechless.Cao Jinxiu saw that He's mother didn't speak, so she cried, "Cousin, why are you so cruel! My mother is your own aunt, who used to play with you all the time when I was a child. Could it be that my mother's kindness to you can't be equal to that?" A piece of paper? Grandma is an outsider, so it’s fine for her to say that, you are my mother’s nephew, how can you say it in front of my aunt?” Seeing that He Hongwen’s face was flushed, she covered her face and cried , "You let me in and saved my life. I have no face to beg you. But my life was also given by my parents. Let me die now. Please save my parents!" As he said that, he turned his head to bang against the wall.He Hongwen hurriedly went to pull her, but saw Xiarui rushed up and hugged her earlier, and Cao Jinxiu was still tearing at her, crying: "I'm still an eyesore when I'm alive, it's better to die, my cousin is also clean, please help me My whole family will die." Seeing Xue Ya and other girls coming over to hold her back, He Mu coughed again and again, she fell down on the ground and cried loudly: "What kind of silly dream did I have? Died in Liangzhou... Living now is just a burden, why not allow me to die! Cousin, I know you don't have me in your heart, but you know my heart... You used to be so kind, how can you be so kind now? become so ruthless..."

As if a basin of snow water was pouring down from his head, He Hongwen's heart that had been a little sad just now became cold again.The situation is so similar, back then in the old house, wasn't it the aunt and cousin who kept begging for death, using those "ruthless" and "wolf-hearted" words to provoke themselves and mother, and finally forced Minglan away?Thinking of this, his heart suddenly ached. Seeing his mother finally recovering, she struggled to beckon him, and hurriedly walked over to kneel in front of the bed with tears in her eyes.

He's mother gasped for a while, before she said a word: "For my sake... I'll help your aunt... I'm too old, I can't bother you for a few years... When I die..."

Cao Jinxiu cried and crawled over on her knees, throwing herself on He's mother, "Auntie, you can't die, what will Jin'er do? Without you, Jin'er won't even have any bones left... Auntie, Jin'er didn't want to live long ago , I just can't bear to part with my aunt...and my cousin..."

He Hongwen couldn't see his widowed mother's tears the most. Seeing his mother clutching Cao Jinxiu's hand desperately, she was speechless, her eyes were full of pleading, so she couldn't say any more words of rejection.But if he doesn't refuse...wouldn't he have really fallen into the situation that Minglan was worried about back then?

I am really useless, Minglan has already seen through that Jin'er will not be able to settle down, and the Cao family will not be able to settle down either. Only she believes that that piece of paper can break the thoughts of the Cao family... But does she just admit it?Didn't he make up his mind to never let his family fall into that situation?If you can't even stick to this, what face will you have... see her in another day?

He was conflicted in his heart, so he heard Mother He say: "Hong'er, just this time... You can talk to Chu Heng about giving 3000 taels of silver to your aunt's house, just say it's my intention..."

He Hongwen was taken aback, 3000 taels!He knew that when Cao's family left Beijing, his grandmother gave 500 taels of silver to the God of Plague; his grandfather's family was not very rich, and his mother was not favored by his parents, and the dowry was not very rich. Except for some gold and silver utensils, there were only three A hundred mu of land and a rice shop, my mother sold the rice shop privately for 300 taels of silver, together with a little private house I saved, plus 500 taels from my grandmother, a total of 2000 taels
