They took several doses of medicine, recovered, and took several doses of anti-fetal medicine.After Ji Ze recovered from his illness, he took more than ten supplements. Chen's lower body has recovered. He walks and cheers every day. Although he can't speak, he knows everything. He eats a big bowl of porridge and does not eat snacks.The servants are all as usual.Zhou Gui has recommended to go back south with Chen Yunxin, he is stupid and ungracious.Xiao Xiang has already been with someone else, and the man sees that he is mature, so he will come back with more money.

The man's situation is getting more and more embarrassing, and there is just a continuation of the salary and silver, and in winter, foreign officials are expected to send charcoal money.Can barely support this year.It will be even more difficult to plan next year, and it will be difficult to borrow money. The capital is similar to the hometown, but it will not be pursued by force.The last time I sent a letter back home, it was said that Uncle Songxuan paid 40,000 yuan for the loan from Tian Ziping, but Ke Nan sent the silver back home.
