Tang Liu touched her flat abdomen and pressed it hard. Why is it so hard here? After giving birth to a pair of daughters, she had a miscarriage and could not get pregnant again.

Now, she is older.

It’s not easy to get pregnant.

What's more, Gao Tairan has been at the border all year round and was finally transferred back to the capital last month.

Now as long as there is no incident at the border, Gao Tairan doesn't have to go again.

Tang Liu took a few deep breaths and asked, "Have you asked someone to find a famous doctor?"

Mother Chen: “I’m looking for it.”

Over the years, Tang Liu has been treated by many famous doctors, but to no avail.

Not only Tang Liu was anxious, Gao Tairan was also anxious.

Which wealthy family doesn’t want incense?

Of course Gao Tairan wanted to.

But what’s the use of thinking about it?

Otherwise!

"Send someone to keep an eye on those three bitches from the Xie family."

"Ma'am, we can keep an eye on them, but we can't act rashly. The storm has just passed, so let's take shelter."

"What am I afraid of? Am I afraid of a scholar? A slut who doesn't know how to be polite?" Tang Liu hated Xie and hated her for being ungrateful. If Xie had been willing to enter the general's mansion as a concubine, that would have been the result she, Tang Liu, wanted.

As a lowly concubine and a bastard, don't I have to rely on her, the mistress of the house, to live?

Isn't it easy to control them?

But these three bitches just wouldn't come, and Gao Tairan had no way to deal with them.

Because they have nothing to do with Gao Tairan anymore.

At this time, a tall figure walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

The servants saluted quickly, "General."

Tang Liu turned his head and glanced at Mother Chen, signaling with his eyes not to let them say a word in front of the general, otherwise they would be severely punished.

Mother Chen nodded to show that she understood.

Tang Liu stood up, straightened his clothes, and greeted the tall man who came in from outside with a smile, "General, the emperor summoned you to the palace today, what is the matter?"

Gao Tairan's expression was not very good. "It's about the court."

"I see. Then I won't ask any more questions." Tang Liu took the teacup from the maid's tray and handed it to Gao Tairan after he sat down. "General, have some tea! This is the latest health tea in the capital. I asked the maid to brew it early and keep it warm. Try it."

Health tea?

Gao Tairan didn't like the name.

But he still took it with a smile, took a sip, and nodded.

“Yeah, not bad!”

It’s really good!

He thought that health tea must be bitter and smelly, but this tea turned out to be quite delicious, slightly sweet, slightly sour, and with a fruity aroma.

"The General likes it, that's great."

"I'll have someone prepare some more."

This tea has only become popular recently and you can’t buy it without ordering it in advance.

Gao Tairan hummed, then suddenly reached out and shook Tang Liu's hand.

"Ma'am, I have something else to deal with in the study."

"General, you should focus on your work." Tang Liu looked at Gao Tairan holding her hand, feeling sweet in her heart, "General, I'll have someone invite you to have lunch at noon."

"Okay!" Gao Tairan stood up and left.

After Tang Liu watched the person leave, the corners of his mouth were still raised high.

Mother Chen said, "The general is so kind to Madam. He comes to see Madam even though he is busy."

The smile on Tang Liu's face became even wider.

Gao Tairan went into the study in the front yard and did not let the servants in.

He stood in front of the bookshelf, looking at the brand new books on it. Thinking of the news he got from the emperor, he felt surprised, happy and aggrieved.

My head hurts!

It hurts so much.

The emperor did not summon only him, Fu Hua was also present. He first asked about military affairs, and then asked Fu Hua about the autumn examination. Fu Hua then talked about changing the list.

After hearing this, the emperor patted the memorial on the dragon table.

It is said that it was sent by Jiang Renfeng.

The incident of changing the list had a follow-up and also involved a murder case.

The saltpeter from Lao Zhuang Village was mentioned again.

Only then did the emperor look at him and seemed very interested in Laozhuang Village.

Gao Aiqing, isn’t Lao Zhuang Village your hometown?

Gao Tairan replied dazedly.

The emperor asked again: Do you, Lord Gao, know the first place in the autumn examination?

Gao Tairan didn't dare to answer. After a moment of silence, he said that he had been away from his hometown for too long and didn't remember much about the children in the village.

Tsk…

At that time, Fu Hua sighed.

That sound touched Gao Tairan's heart, and he had a vague feeling that Fu Hua actually knew everything.

Later, the emperor and Fu Hua discussed allowing Gao Miao to enter the Imperial College, not only because he was the first in the local autumn examination, but also as a reward for his donation of saltpeter.

Since it is a reward, of course I can’t be stingy and only give this.

People even donated a mountain of saltpeter to the court, so the emperor had to express his gratitude.

As a result, a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were also rewarded.

The emperor then asked Fu Hua about Gao Miao's family situation.

Fu Hua was not very clear, he only heard from the former chief priest that Gao Miao had no father and was raised by his mother. He also had a younger sister who was seven years younger than him, who was adopted by Gao Miao himself.

At this point, Fu Hua praised Gao Miao for being kind-hearted since childhood.

Anyway, he praised Gao Miao in front of Gao Tairan, and said openly or secretly that Gao Miao's father was unlucky, and that his eldest son had a promising future but could not enjoy the happiness.

Gao Tairan lowered his head for a moment, otherwise he would have seen the emperor's mouth twitching after hearing Fu Hua's words, as if he was enjoying a good show.

Later, Gao Tairan himself didn't remember how he left the palace.

well……

Gao Tairan took out a book, flipped through a few pages, and put it back.

He is not good at studying.

In order to become a general and to be worthy of Tang Liu, he worked hard to learn to read. Although he learned to read, he only forced himself to read military books. He would fall asleep as soon as he read other books.

But as a great general, how could there be no books in his study?

It’s a must!

So, I listed a lot of good books everywhere and put them here, but I never read them.

Gao Miao, his own son, took the top spot in the autumn examination. The emperor praised his talent and his good writing skills.

A mountain of saltpeter, just donate it if you want.

Don’t they feel sad?

There will be many places to take care of in the future, so how can we not have money?

They are so naive after all.

Thinking of this, Gao Tairan became secretly angry again.

How much is a mountain of saltpeter worth?

Xie Xianglan, that spendthrift woman doesn't need any advice.

Not to mention that Gao Miao will have to take care of things in the future, as a general he is also short of money.

Tang Liu grabbed the big lock of the warehouse with one hand. If he wanted money, he had to find her first and get her consent.

When a man is out there, who doesn't socialize and take care of things?

But I have no money.

He is a really poor general!

Gao Tairan turned around and walked out, going to the yard where Old Gao and his family lived.

When Old Mrs. Gao saw Gao Tairan coming, she immediately went to greet him.

"Son, how come you have time to come here today?"

Gao Tairan glanced at the other people in the room and said, "I have something to say to my parents, you guys go out first."

Only then did Shi take her two daughters away.

That year, after the Gao family came to Beijing, Tang Liu arranged for Gao Laosan to be the manager of his own shop. Shi stayed at home to take care of the two daughters and two elderly people, and Gao Laosan's son was sent to the academy.

It is not a good academy, but it is also not affordable for ordinary people.

Come back once a month.

The old man Gao and his wife looked at each other and asked in unison: "Son, what happened?"
