A bitter and pungent taste seeped into her teeth and cheeks, and Minglan woke up. At this time, she saw the worried face of Cui's mother. She was filling herself with ginseng soup from a small copper enamel pot with a thin mouth.

Said: "Madam, it's okay. [Ye*] [*]"

Minglan waved her hand. She had been so full of thoughts that she was dizzy. She exerted her strength for nearly seven or eight hours like a tow truck, as if she had been preparing for the Mathematical Olympiad finals for days, and then ran a full marathon, both physically and mentally.

She was extremely exhausted and fell into a deep sleep. At this time, she tried to sit up and lie down, but her whole body was weak and her voice was hoarse, "Look at the baby."

Mrs. Wen on the side quickly delivered the tightly wrapped swaddling clothes, with a smile on her face, and said repeatedly, "He is a white and handsome fat little boy! Congratulations, madam, congratulations to madam!"

Minglan had no strength in her arms, so she could only look at Cui's mother's arms. She smiled bitterly. How did the red and wrinkled flesh come to be so white and handsome? But it was indeed fat. She looked round-headed and fat.

He has bulging cheeks, a clear nose bridge, and a long curved eyeliner under his swollen eyelids. It's hard to see what his facial features are like, but he keeps making noises like small animals.

"I was crying so hard just now. My voice was so loud that it almost shook the roof off. He is a strong guy!" Cui's mother smiled with tears in her eyes. "I'm afraid I'm tired of crying now."

Minglan nodded weakly and said as calmly as possible: "Reward! Everyone has worked hard, and you will all be rewarded!"

The maids and women in the room all bowed and thanked him.

Minglan panted, leaning against the cushions behind her, and with difficulty she took the little thing into her arms, then loosened her clothes and asked him to try sucking it. The ladies on both sides were a little dazed. How could any lady breastfeed by herself? But Mother Cui

But she helped to hold the baby. After countless debates, she had long been convinced. The wet nurse still asked, but she asked Minglan to feed her first. It is said that colostrum is very good, it can not only strengthen the body but also strengthen the body.

Resistance, in this era when the infant mortality rate is generally high, and there is no vaccine for azithromycin, Minglan cannot let it go. Moreover, she has no control from her parents-in-law, and no constraints from her sisters-in-law. At this time, she has no right to use it.

?!

The little guy was incredibly soft. As soon as his squirming little mouth touched his mother's skin, he automatically reacted and started to suck on her. Although the suction was not strong, it was obvious that he was working hard. Both sides took turns trying it.

For a long time, the little thing still persevered. Except for stopping twice in the middle to grin and cry a few times to express its protest against working in vain, it continued to suck hard, biting the source of food hard with its bald and tender gums, and its round little head endured unyieldingly.

On her own chest, Minglan felt funny and moved, and kissed his bald little forehead. This was a strong and tough little life.

After Cui's mother and the two mothers-in-law took turns saying "forget it" eleven times, the little bastard's efforts finally bore fruit and he sucked out the precious colostrum. Looking at the little guy swallowing hard with his eyes closed,

In an instant, hot tears welled up in her eyes. For this little meat ball, Minglan suddenly felt that no matter how much hardship she endured, it was all worth it. Cui's mother also turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.

Minglan was so tired that she almost lost all her strength. She looked at the baby again and again, from the transparent pink little fingers and toes to his wrinkled little ears. The newborn couldn't eat much. After handing the baby to Cui's mother, Minglan looked at it.

She fell asleep again, and until the end she didn't notice that the firelight outside had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a quiet and bright light; but even if she did, she would probably only say, "Well done, Mr. Tu Er."

, there will be a big prize for you when you come back'.

Minglan was probably born with a very low alertness, so she slept for an extra long time. When she woke up again, it was already bright and the original bloody and dirty smell in the house was gone, and she felt refreshed and tidy.

Quite often, Cui's mother had probably cleaned up the sweat on her body while she was sleeping. Sitting beside the bed was a tall man with a stubble on his face, looking intently at a big bundle beside his pillow.

One of his hands was about to reach out, as if he wanted to touch the baggage, but he didn't know how to do it.

Minglan calmed down, took a closer look, and suddenly she felt angry. All the hard work and hardships she had experienced these days came to light, and they were all blamed on this useless man. Regardless of her dry throat, she became inexplicably excited: "You

This unfaithful person is willing to come back! What did you say when you left? The world is peaceful now, and you are here! You, you..."

There were still several maids standing in the room. Cui's mother felt embarrassed and quickly asked Danju to take everyone out. Gu Tingye was quite shameless and didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He smiled and pushed Minglan back on the couch: "You

I'm very tired, don't get up, you can scold me even if you lie down."

Minglan just wished she could pounce on him and bite him, but she saw him looking at the big bundle with affection on his face. Minglan looked sideways and saw the little baby lying on her pillow, with his wet mouth moving.

, two small bubbles popped out, and I closed my eyes and slept soundly.

"He is so good-looking, with strong arms and legs, and he is also smart."

Gu Tingye's eyes were so gentle that they could almost shed water. He couldn't help but think about this chubby little meatball. He was a talented man with both civil and military skills and strong muscles. He even smiled and said to Minglan thoughtfully, "Let's talk."

Be gentle and don't disturb him." Minglan almost laughed before she could take a breath.

Gu Tingye stared at the child in fascination and said to Minglan: "You don't know, this little kid is so energetic. I can even hear him crying outside the courtyard gate. When he grows up, he will definitely be a man of his own."

Minglan intuitively wanted to refute, "Being a singing artist with a loud crying voice has nothing to do with being a solo artist." Suddenly, she felt surprised and asked, "When did you come back?"

Gu Tingye finally raised his head and the smile on his face disappeared: "When there was a fire in the house."

Minglan's expression calmed down, she looked Gu Tingye up and down, and found that he was wearing a semi-old dark-colored robe, his face was weathered, and his riding boots were broken everywhere. Then she remembered the current situation and struggled to get up again: "That's right.

"There's a fire outside...and Mrs. Madam...and the Yu family..." He opened several words in such a mess that Minglan didn't know where to start.

Gu Tingye felt pity, helped Minglan sit up, stuffed a thick cushion behind her, and whispered comfort: "Don't worry, I'm back, everything is mine. If you are wronged, it's all my fault."

"Minglan's nose became sour and her eyes became wet. She lowered her head and turned her face away, letting the thick pillow absorb the tears from her face. Gu Tingye felt a lot when he saw it. He would never say soft words to a woman.

He could only lean over, hug Minglan tightly, and pat her back gently.

It would be false to say that she was not aggrieved. Yao Yiyi vividly remembers the situation when two of her best friends were pregnant. The husband of one of her best friends was a criminal policeman. Because his wife wanted to eat canned sugar water in the middle of the night, he actually wore a police uniform late at night and went to the canteen downstairs to take pictures.

The old couple who opened the shop were frightened half to death; the second best friend was even more outrageous and wanted to eat fried dough sticks at noon. Her husband from the tax bureau had no choice but to use a uniform and a red ticket to make the boss who was selling lunch go back to the store.

Oil pan. But what about her?

Minglan nestled on Gu Tingye's shoulder and sobbed softly. Her husband had disappeared, and there was still uncertainty about good or bad luck. There was also an old witch in the house with a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart. She battled wits and courage every day, was exhausted mentally and physically, was scared and worried, and had to

It’s not that you have passed the psychological test and got through it, let others see it!

Cui's mother saw something was wrong and quickly came forward to persuade her: "Madam, it's not easy to cry in the moon. Stop it now. Stop it. It's not stubborn to fall ill if you turn around!" Gu Tingye was anxious and quickly turned away from Minglan's face.

He quickly wiped it clean and repeatedly urged him not to cry. He never said soft words to women. After thinking for a long time, he could only save the country: "What's the point of crying? To retaliate with tooth. ~ When you are well, I will

How about I give you a few hard beatings to vent your anger? I won't fight back!"

Minglan's face hurt when she asked him to wipe it, but she felt it was funny, and said angrily: "You're making dough, why don't you let go!" She didn't know that it was not easy for him outside, and it was hard to earn fame.

"Have you finished the errands in the south?" Minglan held back her tears and took the warm water handkerchief handed over by Cui's mother to wipe her face. Don't say that he left work and ran back. She didn't want her son to be killed by the emperor as soon as he was born.

Cut it hard.

Gu Tingye leaned over and kissed his sleeping little face. The little guy made a vague noise twice, still closed his eyes tightly, twisted his round body uncomfortably, and spit out two bubbles to express his dissatisfaction.

Lao touched the stubble on his face and smiled rudely. Then he motioned to Cui's mother to take the child down, turned to Minglan and said: "I have finished my business, but if it weren't for Xuan Zhiyuan,

I can’t go back so early.”

Minglan breathed a sigh of relief. She had a lot of questions and couldn't figure it out for the moment. She could only ask the people nearby: "How do you say this? Oh, by the way, General Duan's case is over. He will come back."

Is it done?"

Gu Tingye smiled and said: "Brother Cheng Yong's case is nothing more than a trivial matter."

"You won't give in to the fight." Minglan joked. After all, she was killed, but she was still a good woman. She thought that Gu Tingye would at least give her a dirty look, but unexpectedly, he actually sighed, "It was strange at first, and it was imminent.

, I really had this plan originally. Fortunately, I dragged Mr. Gongsun along with me."

Although Gu Tingye came from a good background, he was frustrated at a young age and developed some self-awareness that ordinary wealthy brothers did not have. He was good at marching, but not good at solving cases, so he had to capture Gongsun and go with him. Gongsun Baishi was known as a master of research.

He has been sentenced to more than 20 years of imprisonment. In his opinion, there are two doubts about this.

Firstly, whether the woman who died in vain was forced by others. Secondly, whether the restaurant has been asking for fish from this family.

Minglan chewed it carefully and realized that these two points hit the mark. She couldn't help but applaud. Gu Tingye deliberately told the story with ups and downs, making Minglan laugh and laugh, leaving no time for sadness.

As soon as they arrived, they first went to see Duan Chengyong, who was like a trapped animal, and asked him what was going on, and then they conducted an interrogation. At that time, the troops were divided into two groups. Mr. Gongsun was escorted by guards to conduct overt inspections and secret inspections, while Gu Tingye went to meet with large and small people.

The local soldiers were ruffians. Since drinking was unavoidable, they simply held a banquet on their own territory. For some unknown reason, from the general soldiers to the commander of the guard post and all the way to the guerrilla generals, the wines of these soldiers were surprisingly good and they were all polite.

Wen didn't want to drink too much, and even if there were pretty girls walking around during the banquet, he wouldn't take another look at her.

"Probably because he is afraid that the Marquis will take advantage of General Xiao Duan's case and give them a try." Minglan was amused by this and smiled slightly. Gu Tingye also found it funny, "You really have the heart of a villain." He just wanted to pester him.

Keep them in custody so that there are no constraints on the investigation.

In just a few days, Gongsun Baishi saw the clues and solved the case quickly.

First of all, although the woman was a genuine good-natured woman, the restaurant had been asking for goods from a certain fish shop in the city, and just in those few days, she asked for extra goods from this fisherman's family. Thirdly, it was obvious that the father-in-law of the woman's family was

My husband, my brother-in-law, and all the other men are fine, so why should I ask a woman to go out in public and collect money for goods, and it's in a place like a restaurant?

Starting from these two doubtful points, we then opened up the gap in the confession. What followed was a series of follow-up and detailed investigations. The feudal lord handled the case, always using coercion and inducement, as well as some threats and threats, but the truth finally emerged.

Someone actually took the two children of the peasant woman and threatened her with her life in exchange for a large sum of money. Once the matter was accomplished, the children were released and given money. The fisherman knew that falsely accusing an official was a capital crime.

, and I dare not tell the truth, so I can only bite him to death.

"In the end, only one guard came out to take the blame." Gu Tingye sarcastically said, "It was said that he was not angry with brother Cheng Yong for being disrespectful to the generals of the local guard station. He just wanted to play with him, but he didn't think that the civilian woman was so fierce that she wanted to die.

It caused a big disaster. Huh, it's a pity that they couldn't prove that they deliberately forced the women to death, so in the end they had to remove the man from his post and punish him." Minglan felt sad in her heart: "I just pity the fisherman, he was killed for no reason.

Unexpected disasters, families and people were destroyed.”

Gu Tingye also shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Gongsun told them to take the money and go to other places to make a living." He looked at Minglan's expression, reached over and took her and sat on the bedside together, and said softly, "Are you not angry with me anymore?"

Minglan lay in his arms, her nose filled with the smell of dust and sweat, and whispered, "I know it's not easy for you. You...you weren't injured, were you?" She straightened up and touched his arms and chest, "

I just thought it would be nice if you could come back earlier." Gu Tingye was silent for a long time before saying, "I didn't know until I got here that the officialdom of Lianghuai has become so rotten."

After nearly twenty years of Renzong's peace, there is not only collusion between officials and businessmen in the local area, but also collusion between civil and military forces, ranging from small gangs in the city to big nobles in the capital. They are all related! No matter which one is investigated, the final tie will always be pulled out.

A large piece of the imperial envoy, Lord Rao, who was carefully selected by the emperor with steel and copper bones, was also very troublesome. After Duan Chengyong was fished out, Gu Tingye wanted to return to Beijing to be with his wife, but the imperial envoy repeatedly begged to stay a little longer to help him.

Open up the situation.

"The Marquis has served the country and the people, which is admirable. Then why are you back?" Minglan said with a sour tone. Gu Tingye said matter-of-factly: "I have to come and see." Minglan was furious and stretched out her arms.

Pushing the man away: "Your son is in the cubicle, go quickly! What are you doing here!" Gu Tingye laughed loudly, hugged Minglan and kept kissing her on the cheek.

Mother Cui was gently patting the baby to put her to sleep. When she heard the laughter coming from next door, she immediately smiled with joy and shook her head with a smile. Apart from the newly found wet nurse, who was a little surprised, all the maids in the room were also surprised.
