The weather was getting warmer, and by the beginning of February, the Qiu family had replaced all the thick and big-haired clothes with thin clothes. On this day, Qiu's family had finished dinner and took two grandsons to walk in the garden. This is also a habit she has developed. If the weather is good, she will walk for two quarters of an hour after dinner.
Liu Yin hurried over and said, "Old lady, Han Gao is back."
Hearing this, Qiu immediately asked the nurse to pick up the two grandsons and said, "Go, go back." He had to ask Han Gao how Yuxi was in Yucheng.
When I returned to Changleyuan, I heard Mama Li's reply: "Old lady, Han Gao was called by Lord Guo. He will come back when the talk is over. This is a letter from Grandma Sigu's grandmother."
The Qiu clan said dissatisfiedly: "Is there anything I can't tell you later? It's not bad at this time!" I don't know if she is in a hurry? It's true. But despite the complaints, he didn't ask anyone to call Han Gao over. In the end, his son's business matters.
Han Jianming was in the study and read the letter Yuxi wrote to her. It's about doctors and people who can use it. That's all, the most important thing is to let him help others to redress the grievances. After reading the letter, Han Jianming couldn't help but laughed: "This girl..." People say that the married daughter throws out the water, and this girl is not even conscious of marrying her daughter. But Han Jianming said so, and he didn't mind. The more people Yuxi wants, the better the momentum on her side. Yuxi is a rewarding person, and the more he pays now, the more generous he will be rewarded by then.
After folding the letter, Han Jianming stood up straight and asked Han Gao, "How is Grandma Sigu's life in Yucheng?" Han Gao also trusted him very much, second only to Han Hao next to him.
Han Gao nodded and said, "Grandma Sigu is very good in Yucheng. I heard from the people in Yunfu that Siguye is also obedient to girls, and things in the mansion are also handled inside and out. Not only did the backyard be well prepared, The guard in the front yard is also respectful to the wife."
Han Jianming nodded and said, "That's good. The old lady wants to ask you to ask questions, so don't keep it secret. Whatever the old lady asks, you can tell the old lady what you see and hear." His mother talks the most now. The one is Yuxi in the border town.
After Han Gao went out, Han Jianming immediately called the housekeeper. Since Yuxi had asked someone, he had to satisfy her no matter what.
Compared with Han Jianming's general question, Qiu asked very carefully: "Is Yuxi getting used to eating in Yucheng? Is there any discomfort? Is it thin..." Seeing Han Gao, Qiu asked a series of questions, and Han Gao didn't know which county to answer.
Ye clan smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, ask slowly." To comfort Qiu clan, Ye clan asked, "Auntie is good to Sigu's grandma?"
Han Gao nodded and said, "My uncle is very nice to Sigu's grandma. The military affairs are busy, but my uncle will go home no matter how late it is."
Hearing this, Qiu's heart felt at ease: "Has Yuxi lost a lot of weight?" In Yucheng, there is a shortage of food and clothing, and money cannot buy good things.
Han Gao said with a smile: "Don’t worry about the old lady, the grandmother Sigu’s complexion looks very good, not worse than the time difference in the capital. Grandma Sigu also asked the younger one to tell the old lady that you should not worry about her and take good care of your body. The city will have a good time."
Hearing this, Qiu's eye circles turned red. At that time, he was thinking about finding a house in the capital or finding a house nearby. I don’t know that I will marry in the northwest.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ye immediately changed the subject and asked: "I heard the grandfather of the country said that Grandma Fourth Aunt founded a school in Yucheng? What's the matter with this?" Some said it was a school, some said it was to help the poor. There are different opinions about the children of the family, and even the people in the government office can't explain it clearly.
Han Gao stayed in Yucheng for three days, so he naturally wanted to inquire about these things clearly: "Many people in the border towns have a hard time. They don’t have enough food and clothing. Many children died in the winter. Madam heard this and moved with compassion. Xin, set up this school, mainly to provide these children with three meals free of charge, so that they can get enough food and clothing, so that they can survive the cold winter safely."
Ye's heard it a little strange, and said, "That's called a shelter, why is it called a school again?" That school can actually scream casually.
Han Gao explained, “Grandma Sigu was worried that these children would fight when they had nothing to do, so she asked them to read and read in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon. This is why it is called Qingfengtang.”
Qiu's thoughts were the most practical: "There are so many children who have to read and calligraphy, so the cost is not low." Reading and reading is the most expensive, and I don't know if Yuxi still has money on hand. The Qiu family had completely forgotten about this. At the end of last year, she gave Yuxi more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Han Gao shook his head and said, "It didn't cost a lot." After speaking, he told the two of Yuxi's ideas, and after speaking, "It doesn't cost much."
After hearing this, Qiu's smiled and said: "This kid, weird ideas are one after another. But let alone, they are very practical." Hundreds of children read and read, and that ink, paper and inkstone is really expensive. Not to mention Yuxi, even their entire mansion can't afford it. But Yuxi's method is very good. It doesn't cost much to make these children read.
Ye's can't help but praise: "Four sisters are smart." Reading in the morning, learning martial arts in the afternoon. When the child learns something, he won't cause trouble, so he can kill two birds with one stone.
Qiu asked: "I have always heard that Yucheng is difficult. How difficult is it? Tell me carefully?" Hearing that the child could not survive the winter, Qiu couldn't bear it. In the past two years, the Qiu clan began to worship Buddha, and his heart became softer and softer.
Han Gao's understanding of Yucheng came from Han Ji: "Yucheng has fought for many years, many soldiers have died in the battle, and most of them have left orphans and widows. The life is very difficult." The ordinary people in Yucheng are very difficult. Few, mostly military households. Because ordinary people can move if they can't survive, but these military households can't leave. Military households are passed down from generation to generation. When the father is dead, the son has to take over on the battlefield. There used to be twelve or three-year-old children to serve in the military. Later this article was abolished by Marshal Qin, allowing these children to go to military service until the age of fourteen. It's like the brothers Lu Zhu and Lu Bai, who will go to the barracks to perform military service when Lu Zhu turns fourteen.
Qiu's hands clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha... Did you tell me when I will let people go to Yucheng again?" She is going to donate some money to help these children. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it will give the children a few more meals. meal.
After hearing these words, Ye's family couldn't understand Qiu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I will donate some when the time comes. Let's talk about my feelings."
Han Gao told the two of the situation: "When the school was founded, many wives also expressed their willingness to donate money, but the fourth aunt's grandmother refused, saying that if someone donated money, it would be unclear at that time. Said that if they wanted to show their love, they would send some rice noodles and meat dishes to the school to add meals to the children. Later, many ladies in Yucheng sent food."
How could the Qiu family couldn't hear the meaning of Han Gao's words, and immediately said with a smile: "She won't accept other money, isn't she still not accepting my money? Besides, the money is not given to her, how could she refuse? This girl, can't this matter be done properly?"
Ye's said with a smile: "Mother, the fourth sister is safe in this matter. After all, I did this thing for the first time. I didn't ask others to pay for it, and even if it was not done well, others would not say anything. If I accept donations from these ladies If it's broken, won't you just complain about it when the time comes."
Qiu nodded and said, "That's true too."
After talking about the school, Qiu asked a lot of questions, all of which were very detailed. For example, when Yuxi was pregnant, the pregnancy reaction was strong and not strong, and now the child can be well. How did Han Gao know these questions? He stood there with a wooden face and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
Ye clan smiled and said, "Go down!" Han Gao is a big man, so how could he pay attention to these things like sister-in-law. If it's a woman or a maid, it's pretty much the same.
The Qiu clan said to the Ye clan, "Qing'er, I want to take out the private house and send it to Yucheng, so that Yuxi can help the poor children." Of course, the private house that the Qiu clan is talking about here is her money. Not all industries. The Qiu family is so generous now. First, she believes in Buddhism and believes that doing more good deeds and accumulating more merit will be good for her children and grandchildren. Second, both of her sons are good at living without relying on her money.
Ye's paused, and said with a smile: "These money are all from your mother, and you can use it whatever you want." Although she is a little bit careful, after all, her mother-in-law has a lot of private houses. But as she said, this is her mother-in-law's private house, and it's her freedom to use it.
The Qiu family slapped Ye family's hand and said, "Money is a thing that will not be brought with you when you are born or not. It should be used to do some good deeds. If you accumulate more merit, you can also bless the Han family's children and grandchildren. "
Ye's smiled.
Back to the main courtyard, Mrs. Hua couldn’t help but said, “Madam, old lady is too willing to do this?” The donation to the Fragrant Temple in the past two years has also cost a lot of porridge. I didn’t expect this time to be more generous. All the private houses were taken out and donated.
Ye's said: "These are the old lady's private property, how she wants to use it I have no right to peck." If she retorted, those who didn't know thought she was thinking about her mother-in-law's private property!
Madam Hua said, "How come the old lady's private house has to have tens of thousands of taels of silver, and all of them have been given to the four girls. Madam, do you think she will really use those children?" Madam Hua meant that Yuxi would fill her pockets.
Ye's face changed, and he said, "Mom must never say anything more." If the sister-in-law really got into the eyes of money, she wouldn't use money to help those children. Furthermore, even if the sister-in-law really wants to embezzle, she still has to get evidence. Now that there is nothing happening, I just talk nonsense, let the mother-in-law and husband know, but don't know how to think of myself. This mother Hua is really getting confused as she gets older. It seems that she really should find a chance to let her mother Hua be raised, and then let the mother Hua stay by her side, she is worried that it will affect her daughter.
ps: dear friends, good night.
