What did dad say to you? "

"Nothing was said."

"But since he didn't say anything, even if he knew, it doesn't matter. It's just that I feel sorry for his old man. He still has to worry about my affairs when he is old. There is no way for him to enjoy the blessing of three generations under the same roof in this life. It's gone." When Gongsun Ce thought of Gongsun Zhen, his heart moved, but when he thought of Huamanlou, he had no choice.

There is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

Hua Manlou seemed to guess what Gongsun Ce was thinking, "I heard from my elder brother that a baby was accidentally picked up in the family, and it was placed at the door of Hua's house. During the Chinese New Year, it is now half a year old."

Gongsun Ce blinked and continued to stare at Huamanlou.

"If uncle likes it, he can find a wet nurse to take care of the child at home, and the child will follow your surname."

Gongsun Ce didn't ask anything, just said one word, "Okay."

Back in Luzhou, as soon as Gongsun Ce and Huamanlou entered the door, Uncle Zhang stepped forward and took Gongsun Ce's hand and said, "Oh, young master, you can be regarded as coming back, please persuade the master quickly, the master said that he is going to resign. , to live in seclusion in the countryside, this resignation—"

"what happened?"

"I don't know why, but the master suddenly said that he was going to resign, and he couldn't persuade him. Fortunately, you are back, young master."

Gongsun Ce was dazed and dragged outside the study by Zhang Bo. He suddenly came to his senses and signaled Hua Manlou and Zhang Bo to go back to rest first. He walked to the front of the study and knocked on the door, "Father, it's me. I'm back."

"come in."

Pushing open the door and entering, Gongsun Ce looked at Gongsun Zhen sitting there holding a cup of tea, wearing only ordinary clothes, looking as elegant as a teacher in a school.Gongsun Ce stepped forward and said, "You usually don't sleep well, and you still like to drink tea. Don't you want to sleep at night?"

"Hmph, are you still concerned about whether your father sleeps well at night?"

"You are my father, why don't I care?"

Gongsun Zhen finally smiled, "Manlou came back with you?"

This title made Gongsun Ce wake up, and he was stunned for a moment before he said: "Well, we came back from Xiangyang together, and we plan to stay in Luzhou for a while before going to Jiangnan. Dad, you go with us? Aren't you planning to resign? Jiangnan The scenery is very beautiful, you said before, mother is from Jiangnan, you go there and join us."

Before returning home, Gongsun Ce never had such an idea, but at that moment just now, looking at Gongsun Zhen, suddenly after he left, only Gongsun Zhen was left in Luzhou, even if there were some old men at home, But that is not a relative with a blood relationship.

"Go to Jiangnan?"

"Well, you can be a teacher there, you can—" Gongsun Ce didn't know what to say, he was a little hesitant after the window paper was pierced.

Just when he didn't know what to say, someone knocked on the door suddenly. "Uncle, it's me, can I come in?"

Flowers all over the building?

Gongsun Zhen put down his teacup and said, "Come in, Ah Ce, you go out and tidy up the room. When you come back, you always have to stay for a while before leaving."

Gongsun Ce looked at Gongsunzhen puzzled, why did they send him away when they said something, did they say something shameful?Or did the two of them discuss something behind their backs without letting themselves know.

After guessing wildly, he came out with a tea tray and glanced at Huamanlou, but seeing Huamanlou's calm appearance, he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and leave the study.

Bored, he flipped through a book several times in the room, and finally heard the voice of Hua Manlou coming back. Gongsun Ce immediately dropped the book and stood up, "What did my father tell you? Get me out."

"It's just about you and I going to Jiangnan."

"what?"

"Uncle agreed to go to the south of the Yangtze River with us, but it will be later. After all, there are still some things that need to be dealt with here. We will send someone to pick him up when it is done." After Hua Manlou finished speaking, Gongsun Ce's mouth opened. The ones can be stuffed with an egg.

Before he left the study just now, Gongsun Zhen still had the same attitude that he wanted to stay in Luzhou, and when he went to Jiangnan, he would say goodbye forever. Why did his attitude change after talking with Huamanlou for a while? What happened in the middle? ?

Staring at Huamanlou, Gongsun Ce said seriously: "What did you talk about?"

Putting down the things in his hand, Hua Manlou sat there and said, "It's just a normal conversation. Uncle is reasonable and only cares about how you are doing. He doesn't care too much about your children. He cares more about his aunt. But we are far away, and it is too lonely for him to be alone after a long time, and Jiangnan happens to be the hometown of my aunt, and there is also that child who has not seen it yet, and having a child can always divide my mind."

Gongsun Ce didn't expect Hua Manlou to even mention this to Gongsun Zhen, sitting there suddenly smiled, "No wonder my father likes you."

"Don't you like me?"

"Hua Man Lou, Hua Man Lou, why do you love teasing people like Lu Xiaofeng?" Gongsun Ce countered, "Young Master Hua is so capable, maybe the elder brother at home has already found a good match for you, waiting for you to go back Just get married."

Hearing that Hua Manlou put the fan on the table, took a sip from the teacup, his eyes were full of smiles, "My brother at home doesn't ask about this matter, even if he grows old alone, he won't ask about it."

"To die alone, I can't bear it." Gongsun Ce said suddenly, "Qitong, let's stay here for half a month before going to Jiangnan."

"kindness."

Hua Manlou is almost pampering and pampering Gongsun Ce. What Gongsun Ce wants to do and what he thinks in his heart, Hua Manlou has never let him down. Lou couldn't bear to let these disappear.

During these days, Gongsun Ce's edges and corners have been worn away. Fortunately, Gongsun Ce has never changed his temper, but he knows how to speak more restrained than before.

"Half a year away, Luzhou has changed again."

"But uncle is still the same as before he left, isn't he?"

When the two of them were lingering at night, Gongsun Ce couldn't help but think of the absurdity in the academy, turned over and faced Hua Manlou, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Hua has thickened his skin a lot these days..."

Hua Manlou buried her head on Gongsun Ce's neck, breathed warmly, and whispered, "But Gongsun Gongzi's face is still the same."

You don't need to see it to know that Gongsun Ce's face is flushed, even his body is warmer than usual, the skin of his tentacles is delicate and warm, Hua Manlou put his arms around his waist, and the two of them pressed together, "Ah Ce... ..."

Gongsun Ce closed his eyes, pulled Huamanlou down, and whispered something close to his ear, the bed curtain was suddenly blown down by the wind outside the window, and the scene inside the bed curtain was more intense than before. neck figure.

When he opened his eyes, Gongsun Ce glanced sideways at Huamanlou, retracted his gaze and sat up, got out of bed after getting dressed, closed the windows that had been left open all night, and pressed his forehead—it was really willful and indulgent.It's nothing more than messing around, and messing around all night, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'm going to become a person full of warmth and lust.

"Going for a walk around town?"

I don't know when Hua Manlou was also dressed, Gongsun Ce turned to look at him and said, "When I change my clothes, I'll have breakfast outside on the street."

"En." Hua Manlou nodded.

Gongsun Ce went behind the screen, changed his clothes and came out, seeing Hua Manlou standing there waiting for him, he stepped forward to hold his hand, "Let's go."

After half a year's absence, Gongsun Ce and Huamanlou in Luzhou have different moods, and the scenery they see is also very different.

Walking by the river, looking at the season of catkins flying and the branches falling into the water, Gongsun Ce suddenly remembered the past, the things when he was a child, he couldn't help laughing and looked at Huamanlou, "You know when I was a child and Where does my father like to go when he quarrels?"

"Where?"

"It's right here, this is outside the city, and when I come here, he can't find me, and the government officials can't find me, so I just hide here and watch them worry, but I have developed good water skills. After finishing speaking, Gongsun Ce lay casually on the grass, pillowing his arms, "Can you swim? If not, I can teach you."

"Some, but not as good as you."

Hua Manlou sat down next to Gongsun Ce, and the two of them faced the river with smiles on their faces. Gongsun Ce whispered about his childhood, and found out that he was so naughty when he was a child. Gongsun really only has such an only son, otherwise how could he pamper him so much.

"Uncle really dotes on you."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce didn't think so, but when he thought about it, he seemed to have a little bit of it, so he said: "I didn't have a mother since I was a child, and he felt that he owed my mother for being so afraid of me. In addition, I am the only one left in Gongsun's family." Du Miao, no matter what, he can't be sorry to his ancestors, right? But it's okay for me to be like this, there are many sons of aristocratic families who are more naughty than me in Luzhou City, and the young masters of those merchants are all arrogant and domineering."

There are a lot of arrogant and domineering children from aristocratic families, and it is not an isolated phenomenon in Luzhou City.

Turning to look at Hua Manlou, "What about you? Are you the same as you are now when you were young? It's also the same. You are so kind to everyone, and you can talk to everyone. I never see you angry, and it's hard to see you care about anything. Is that the case?"

Hua Manlou tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at Gongsun Ce, "When I was young, I was very active because of my kung fu practice, but I became quieter after being blind."

The simple words made Gongsun Ce feel a little distressed. He stretched out his hand to hold Hua Manlou's fingers and clasped them together, "You said last time that you and Lu Xiaofeng broke out from the Tsing Yi Building. What is the Tsing Yi Building?"

"Jianghu's obstruction seems like an accident, but it happened to be a premeditated calculation." Hua Manlou said: "This matter once troubled me, but after thinking about it, I feel that other people's affairs belong to others after all, and they have nothing to do with me." It doesn't matter much."

Other people's affairs are ultimately other people's, not your own. After all, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

Gongsun Ce smiled and let go of his hands and stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, reached out his hand towards Huamanlou, held Huamanlou's hand and pulled him up. Falling backwards, he staggered a few steps and leaned against the tree trunk, his whole body surrounded by flowers.

The branches swayed, and the water rippled in circles.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce simply relaxed his body and leaned back, looked up at Hua Manlou who appeared cramped on his face, with a sly smile, "Young man is so embarrassing, do you think it's indecent? Could it be that you feel that you will be with me in the future?" Is it better to avoid three feet when walking on the street?"

There were some Huamanlou who didn't know what to do, and they were a little surprised by Gongsun Ce's bold behavior, but this kind of Gongsun Ce made him feel that it was really a lot, as if Gongsun Ce should be like this.He has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he has a general understanding of etiquette, but the rebelliousness and boldness in Gongsun Ce's bones have never disappeared.

"Gongsun Gongzi is like this, I am really not used to it."

"whispering sound."

"However, I feel unexpectedly..." Hua Manlou leaned over and lowered his head, Gongsun Ce froze, "It's so straightforward that I can't bear to refuse."

Sensing the meaning of Huamanlou's words, Gongsun Ce pushed Huamanlou and stood up straight, looking at the ripples on the lake, his ears burning, "Hey, it's not suitable to wander outside here today, we'd better go back."

"Oh?"

Gongsun Ce curled his lips, "I let you succeed every time. This time I am not stupid. I will not go to the academy this time. I want to go to the medical center of Bao Zheng's family. Bao Zheng and Mrs. Bao have left, and I don't know where they are now. How about it, maybe Mrs. Bao is back."

"Uncle has someone to take care of there, even if Aunt Bao comes back, she won't even have a place to stay."

"That's true, but when I was in Luzhou, I didn't go to Aunt Bao's very often. First, I didn't get along with Bao Zheng, and second, I seldom got sick. Later, after Zhan Zhao's brother's case, I got along with Bao Zheng instead. Recently, I thought that after this case, I would be fine, and I could read books and study for the exam with peace of mind. Who knew that the matter of Prince Gaoli would be even more troublesome. If it wasn’t for the arrival of the Eight Sage Kings, Bao Zheng and I, as well as my father, would have lost their heads. .”

What happened in Goryeo made the entire Luzhou a victim of Goryeo's horseshoes. Goryeo's troops stationed outside the city actually entered the city and killed innocent people indiscriminately.

"Koryo is restrained a bit now, and what is even more worrying is the Liao Kingdom, which is staring at Song Dynasty covetously."

"It's a day to last a day."

Once the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were lost, the border of the Great Song Dynasty could not be lost at all, otherwise the Liao Kingdom's march into the Great Song Dynasty would be as simple as entering a no-man's land.Even if he leaves the court now, Gongsun Ce still cares about Song Dynasty.

Hua Manlou and Gongsun Ce walked side by side, and said, "Yes, the Song Dynasty will be able to resist the invasion of the Liao Kingdom in its lifetime."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because the Song Dynasty has a loyal and good minister like you, it is natural to be able to keep a century-old foundation."

Gongsun Ce smiled when he heard the words, saw the jade pendant on Huamanlou's waist, and then looked at the jade pendant on his own waist, the smile on his face deepened - this Song Dynasty can last for another hundred years, so there is no need to worry about it. Who can tell clearly.

When people on the street saw Gongsun Ce, they all stopped to look sideways at him. Gongsun Ce looked around in surprise, and asked in a low voice, "Are we two too ostentatious? Why are they all looking at me? It's so strange."

"Gongsun Gongzi is elegant and handsome, so there must be girls staring at you."

"Are you jealous?"

"kindness."

Gongsun Ce, who made Hua Manlou's answer amused, shook his head, and smiled at the people who looked at him. Unexpectedly, the people around him suddenly started discussing lively, which made Gongsun Ce startled. .

"Gongsun Gongzi, the news about you in the capital has spread to Luzhou, you are really amazing!"

"Yes! But I don't know if Gongsun Gongzi has someone he likes. I have several girls in my hand asking me to ask Mr. Gongsun. If you meet Gongsun Gongzi, why don't you just ask you, what kind of person do you like, Gongsun Gongzi?" My family also has a daughter who has not left the court, son—"

"Oh, what are you robbing? I went to Gongsun Gongzi's house first. Do you understand that you come first and then arrive?"

"Stop arguing, Mr. Gongsun, I'm missing an inscription on my fan, why don't you mention one for me?"

……

Surrounded in the middle, Gongsun Ce looked at Huamanlou who had been squeezed out in a dilemma, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he called out for help, "Huamanlou, what did you see?" I can't help it..."

Who knew that Hua Manlou didn't react at all when he heard this, instead he lifted his feet and left, leaving Gongsun Ce stunned in place in shock.

Half an hour later, Gongsun Ce finally escaped from the common people and returned home in a mess. His clothes were torn off and his hair was loose. He looked like he had been robbed.As soon as he entered the front hall, he saw Hua Manlou sitting there drinking tea. Gongsun Ce stepped forward and snatched the cup from Hua Manlou's hand, drank the water and took a breath and said, "Just leave as you say, really. ...Really!"

"The people in Luzhou City are lively, and Hua can't bear to disturb them."

"I really didn't see that you are so narrow-minded, but it's just a few matchmakers who want to tie the knot. Am I such a half-hearted person?" Gongsun Ce sat down and complained, "But why did Uncle Zhang look strange when he saw it just now? Did something happen at the house?"

Hua Manlou didn't answer, but just motioned Gongsun Ce to look at the desk next to him.

There were some picture scrolls, some greeting cards and a few paintings on the table next to it. Gongsun Ce walked over and sat there without understanding, took a picture in his hand and glanced at it, and was suddenly surprised—— What is this all about?

"Who sent these things?"

"When I came back, Uncle Zhang was dealing with those people, and you sent them away with a cup of tea before you came back." Hua Manlou still had a smile on his face after speaking, Gongsun Ce put down his things in embarrassment, and walked to Flowers around the building.

Poured another cup of tea for Hua Manlou, "I haven't been going out for a few days."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this."

"Really not angry?"

"Why are you angry?" After speaking, Hua Manlou drank the tea in the teacup, "Just now when uncle came back and saw that you were not here, he asked Uncle Zhang to return all these, saying that you have already made a marriage arrangement, so he refused all of them."

Gongsun Ce was stunned, his face flushed, knowing that Hua Manlou was trying to tease him, he curled his lips and sat down, "It seems that my father is looking for you, it's really partial."

"Do you want to marry any of them? Or take Miss Lu, a wealthy merchant from the capital?"

"How do you even know this..."

Gongsun Ce regretted it as soon as he said it, who else would know about it except Zhan Zhao, the talkative one?Bao Zheng also doesn't talk nonsense, although he is unreliable at ordinary times, he still knows how to measure it at critical moments, only Zhan Zhao is the one who slipped his mouth.

"Zhan Zhao is really unreliable."

Hua ManLou laughed silently, but Gongsun Ce suddenly laughed.

Such a free and unrestrained day was unthinkable a few days ago, but fortunately, I have withdrawn from those things now. No matter what, it is better to have a moment of peace than to be in the center of the storm all the time.

Uncle Zhang came in and asked hesitantly, "Master, what should we do with those things?"

"After all, it's other people's portraits and greeting cards. Take them back. It would be rude to throw them away." Gongsun Ce said, "Uncle Zhang, if someone comes again in the future, you can say that I already have a sweetheart. I have all the words, thanks to their liking."

"Yes, sir."

Hua Manlou next to him, even though he couldn't see Gongsun Ce's expression at the moment, knew what Gongsun Ce looked like. He curled his lips and didn't speak, but his eyes were a little more gentle.

☆、90|〡〡〡Home〡发〡Table

After staying in Luzhou for half a month, Gongsun Ce and Hua Manlou set off for Jiangnan. When they bid farewell to Gongsun Zhen, Gongsun Ce really felt a little bit reluctant. Although it is not that they will never see each other again in the future, there is an inexplicable sadness of parting , stronger than ever in other places.

Normally, Gongsun Ce would never have such an idea.

"Ce'er, remember to leave a way out for yourself in everything, otherwise you won't even have the chance to turn back." Gongsun Zhenzhen only told him this sentence.

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce glanced at Huamanlou, smiled and said, "Father, why are you worried about this, I know what I should do, so don't worry."

"I'm not worried about you, who am I worried about? Well, well, you should go on your way, and I should go back to the Yamen."

Gongsun Zhen waved his hands, turned around with his hands behind his back, and left with the policemen beside him. Gongsun Ce opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything until Gongsun Zhen walked across the street.Turning around to get into the carriage, he was suddenly patted twice on the shoulder. Gongsun Ce was startled, then smiled.

It's not a farewell, why does it look like I'll never see you again.

"I'm fine. I just looked at my dad and found that he seems to be a lot older."

"Uncle's body is strong, he can adapt to Jiangnan, and he has a lot of talent and learning. It's okay to open a school there. There are outstanding people in Jiangnan, and there are many scholars there. Uncle will not feel bored there."

"There is still a little devil waiting for him."

Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows, "If he knows that you say that about him, he will definitely not kiss you in the future."

Gongsun Ce tipped his nose in silence, feeling that what he said was right, because to him, children, especially those who have not yet learned how to walk, that is, children who are not yet sensible, are an incomprehensible existence, which causes a lot of headaches.

After getting into the carriage, the coachman drove out of Luzhou slowly.Gongsun Ce opened the curtain and took a look outside. He looked at Luzhou, which was gradually disappearing. He lowered the curtain and stared at Huamanlou. But it's nothing to cause trouble."

"must."

Unknowingly, the two have known each other for so long, the incident of Gongsun Ce's blindness seems to be just yesterday, and now thinking about it, it has been such a long time.

"How is it now?"

"Last time, Miracle Doctor Xue said that you can go back and have your eyes checked again."

"Don't worry, there's nothing. I'm a half-doctor myself. I don't know these things."

Hua Manlou smiled and took out the chessboard from one side, "You are more than half a doctor. Although your medical skills are not a miracle doctor, it is enough to open a medical clinic to make a living." After speaking, a chess piece landed on the chessboard .

Gongsun Ce took the white pieces, and then put a piece, "You have found a good way out for me. If I devote myself to learning medicine, maybe I can become a famous doctor."

"I don't know if you can become a famous doctor of the generation, but in this game right now, you seem to have made a wrong move in the first step." After Hua Manlou finished speaking with a smile, Gongsun Ce looked down, and sure enough, he started the game wrongly.

Frowning slightly, he restrained his joking thoughts, and took another step, "No wonder others always say they can't see that you are blind, you can still play chess with me like this, your hearing is much better than ordinary people Master, take the medicine quickly."

"It's true that there are many things you can't do if you're blind, but it's not impossible to do it if you want to." Hua Manlou said, "It's just that there are regrets."

"What are you sorry about?"

Gongsun Ce looked up at Huamanlou subconsciously, and said strangely: "I seldom heard you talk about your regrets, and thought you could see everything. It seems that you also have hidden thoughts. Your mother is One, now, one more."

"I always feel a little regretful that I can't see what you look like." Hua Manlou didn't shy away from it, and said it directly.

When he escaped from the flower garden with Zhuo Feng, Zhuo Feng asked him at that time, he is like Gongsun Ce, he can't even see what kind of person Gongsun Ce is, will he have any regrets?The person you care about, the person who has been standing side by side, but you don't know what the other person looks like, don't you feel some regrets?

Zhuo Feng's words made Huamanlou want to see other people for the first time. In the past, when he was with a few friends, he always judged who was based on the habits and behavior of the other party. He never made a mistake. To Gongsun Ce The same is true, just the sound of footsteps can also tell that it is Gongsun Ce, but this time, I suddenly want to know what kind of person Gongsun Ce is.

Hearing that Gongsun Ce was about to stop, he raised his eyes to look at Huamanlou, and said after a while, "A nose, a mouth and a pair of eyes, there is nothing special about it."

"Young Master Gongsun usually comforts people like this?"

Gongsun Ce, who was found out, didn't care about it, but continued: "If you want to see it, I will send you a painting some other day, and you will know."

Hua Manlou nodded and continued playing chess.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ce suddenly lost his mind and was distracted for a while. After a while, the outcome of this chess game was decided, so he had to stop angrily, "You won."

"It's just a game."

Staring at Huamanlou, Gongsun Ce suddenly straightened up, crossed the chessboard, approached Huamanlou and said, "There is another way, so that you can know what I look like?" After speaking, he took Huamanlou's hand and put it on his face ,"Can you see it?"

Hua Manlou's fingertips slid along Gongsun Ce's eyebrows one by one, and Gongsun Ce kept smiling at Hua Manlou, "In this way, we can know."

Hua Manlou put down his hands and said with a smile, "It's really just a nose, a mouth and a pair of eyes, nothing special."

Gongsun Ce leaned over and lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Hua Manlou's, "Qitong, it's good that you're like this."

Gongsun Ce is really not good at how to comfort others, but fortunately, Hua Manlou always knows what he wants to say.Hua Manlou pulled Gongsun Ce to sit beside her, forgetting the existence of the chessboard for a moment, the chess pieces were scattered in the car, breaking the charming atmosphere just now.

Glancing at the scattered chess pieces, Gongsun Ce yawned and leaned against the wall of the cart, "This chess piece is really ignorant of current affairs."

"It's not in a hurry to go back to Jiangnan. There are some small towns along the way, so you can stay for a few days."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce quickly waved his hands and said: "I always feel that if we stay like this, we will definitely encounter trouble. Let's rest in the wild. If there is another case, I can't help myself not to intervene, but I will cause trouble if I intervene." It’s too troublesome to clean up again.”

"kindness."

Sure enough, I didn't go to a nearby town to find an inn to rest at night, but fortunately there was a hunter's family living nearby in this wilderness. The owner was very polite and let them rest here for a night. Gongsun Ce also sat in the main room with his master and talked.

Gongsun Ce was a little sleepy, and subconsciously leaned on Hua Manlou's shoulder and yawned quietly.Hua Manlou squeezed Hua Manlou's hand under the table, and said to the warm-hearted host: "Brother, thank you for taking me in, these are our little thoughts."

Seeing that it was a piece of silver, the host was startled, and quickly waved his hand and said: "It's nothing to do, it's just a simple meal, how can you spend so much money, we can't take this money, it's okay if you pass by and stay here for one night , the room is empty and empty, and the food is just a few more chopsticks, how can I blackmail you so much money."

"This is our wish. If you don't accept it, we won't feel at ease living here."

Gongsun Ce followed up in a daze, "Brother, just say it. If you don't accept it, he will definitely feel uneasy. Just now I saw that my sister-in-law seemed to be giving birth, so it was a gift for us to give to the child. We met by chance, but we are destined to meet this thing, you—”

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden cry of pain from the next room, and the host in front of him ran out directly, "Axiu, what's wrong with you, Axiu?"

"Brother Rong, I, I seem to be giving birth!"

Gongsun Ce woke up in a jerk, and Hua Manlou who was next to him hurriedly supported him to prevent him from falling off the stool, "Go over and have a look. It's too late to ask the midwife now, so I can only invite the rest of the village."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce nodded and followed, "Brother Rong, don't worry, I am a doctor and I will take care of my sister-in-law. Is there a midwife in the nearby village? If so, please invite her to come. Money is not a problem, as long as you can come. "

"Okay, I'll go right away! I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Go quickly, leave this to me." Gongsun Ce sat beside him, glanced at Axiu, saw that she was sweating profusely, and said quickly, "Sister-in-law, did your water break?"

Axiu's face was pale, she gritted her teeth and said, "Well, it seems to be broken..."

"Hua Man Lou, come here and watch, I'll boil the water."

"What to do?"

"Be careful that she doesn't fall off the bed, I'll be back in a while." Gongsun Ce ran out after a word, and came to the kitchen in the courtyard. Seeing sparks in the stove, he couldn't help but rejoice that the fire was not extinguished. This way the fire will start faster.

He fetched water and threw firewood into the stove. Gongsun Ce washed his hands and went to find a few clean cloths before running back into the room.

Seeing Hua Manlou standing there awkwardly, he was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud, "Okay, you go out and wait outside, you are not a doctor, I'll be fine here, when Brother Rong comes back later, you let him Bring the scissors and the wine, and bring in an extra lamp, it will be useful later."

"Did you help someone else give birth?"

"No, but I learned it from books."

Hua Manlou raised his eyebrows and walked out, when he bumped into Brother Rong who was rushing back in the courtyard, he rushed into the room sullenly, "What to do, the midwife is not here, the rest of the family, the man at home is not at ease."

Gongsun Ce frowned when he heard this, but he couldn't blame others. The one who came in the middle of the night was not a relative or friend. He came here on purpose, and he couldn't blame others if he didn't come.

"...In this case, I can only come by myself, Brother Rong, you can help me here later, now you go and bring the hot water, scissors and wine, a lamp, and candles are also fine. Prepare something to drink and eat."

"I... I'll go now, please!"

Hua Manlou stood aside and said in a low voice, "Is it really possible?"

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work? Don't worry, nothing will happen." Gongsun Ce looked calm, but his forehead was also sweating, for fear that he might make a mistake.

But he couldn't show nervousness, otherwise Axiu would be even more worried, "Sister-in-law, I'm a doctor, you trust me, you and the child will be fine, just do as I tell you later." Gongsun Ce's soft voice comforted her Axiu's emotions.

Axiu raised her eyes to look at Gongsun Ce when she heard the words, and seeing Gongsun Ce's calm expression, she nodded with difficulty: "Okay."

☆、91|〡〡〡Home〡发〡Table

Gongsun Ce saw that he was lying on the bed sweating profusely and with a big belly, he took a deep breath before he dared to act, "Sister-in-law, I'm a doctor, so...offended."

Huamanlou outside heard the screams of pain from inside the room, and involuntarily squeezed the fan tightly in his hand.

Axiu was in so much pain that she cried out in pain. Gongsun Ce felt his head ache, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and he didn't dare to blink, "The amniotic fluid is broken, don't delay, sister-in-law, take a deep breath." Try harder."

Brother Rong stood beside, hugging Axiu's upper body, Axiu was biting a cloth strip in her mouth, sweating profusely, she looked like someone who had been fished out of the water, "Mr. Gongsun, will Axiu, Axiu- —”

Gongsun Ce raised his head sharply when he heard the words, his eyes were sharp, Brother Rong didn't finish his sentence, "If you really feel sorry for sister-in-law, please comfort her so that she can exert strength, mother and child will be safe, the birth canal has opened, as long as the baby's head comes out nothing will happen."

"I, I know!" Brother Rong was shocked by Gongsun Ce's eyes, and quickly comforted Axiu, "Axiu, nothing will happen, come on, breathe in, let's inhale and then use force, the child's head will come out gone."

With sweat on his forehead, Gongsun Ce didn't dare to breathe out, as if he couldn't hear anything in his ears, he could only deliver the baby as if.Seeing the child's head coming out, Gongsun Ce's eyes lit up, "The head is coming out, come out, work harder, Brother Rong, don't let my sister-in-law lose her strength, talk to her."

"okay, I get it."

Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand and carefully dragged the baby's head, not daring to use any force. Looking at the baby's face, his heart that had been hanging all this time finally fell to the ground—he finally gave birth.

"Playboy, it's dawn."

"Get ready and hit the road at noon."

The coachman nodded in response, and turned to pack his things.

Huamanlou in the yard suddenly heard a cock crowing, and it was almost dawn, and was about to enter the house, but just two steps away, he heard the sound of a baby crying inside the house, and stopped there to relax.After a while, Hua Manlou heard the footsteps of someone coming out, smiled and stepped forward to hug him, "Tired?"

Gongsun Ce leaned on Huamanlou's shoulder and didn't speak. The muscles all over his body were tense for several hours, but now he relaxed, as if he had lost his strength, and he didn't even have the strength to stand still.Gongsun Ce's breath fell on Huamanlou's neck, Huamanlou supported Gongsun Ce, a little distressed, picked him up and walked to the room, "You sleep for two hours, we will go on the road again."

It was said that Gongsun Ce didn't even have the strength to nod his head, he had never felt so tired, his heart and body seemed to have gone through a catastrophe.

Back in the room, Gongsun Ce was already asleep.Hua Manlou smiled and put him down, pulled the quilt back up, and when he turned around, he found that his clothes were being dragged by Gongsun Ce, so he couldn't help but smile and sat down, "I'll go out and ask the coachman to help Brother Rong boil some more water, I can't let him take care of it alone." Mrs. Rong."

"kindness……"

Feeling distressed, he stretched out his hand to Gongsun Ce's face, and after a while, he got up and walked into the yard, "Ada, please boil some water, and see if anyone in the nearby village has experience in taking care of newborn children and is willing to come here Man, this is silver, it’s easier to do things with it, please go to the fairy wife, come and hug me! ”

"That's what the playboy ordered, don't bother."

"Well, if you invite someone, you can make lunch along the way."

"Okay, I'll make a note." Ada glanced at the room behind Huamanlou, and said with a smile, "Master Hua, let's take care of Mr. Gongsun. He didn't sleep well during the night of delivery. I'm afraid it's the first time for me to give birth to you." It must be exhausting to deliver a baby, and when I went to deliver water, I saw that Gongsun Gongzi was in a daze, probably only thinking about helping people deliver babies, and not caring about anything else."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou was taken aback, and said with a smile, "En."

"This is the steamed bun in the kitchen. I have to eat something in the morning. I'll go right away."

"I'm tired."

Going back to the room with the steamed buns, Hua Manlou sat down by the bed, thinking whether to wake up Gongsun Ce and let him eat something before going to sleep, but he didn't expect someone to hold his hand, "Are you awake? Can't sleep?" ?”

Gongsun Ce shook his head, "When I closed my eyes, it happened last night.
