"It's very possible that Mr. Hou passed it on to Sister Xin, right?" Mrs. Jiang asked Gu Jinzhi again.

Gu Jinzhi had to explain again: "It's not extremely possible, but only possible. If you have color blindness, it will only be passed on to the young men in your family. Color blindness in girls is inherited from their father..."

Mrs. Jiang nodded.

She remembered something that happened to Marquis Yuan Ping, which she had not planned to talk about.

But she couldn't tell it herself.

"The clothes of the Marquis are either gray or blue or cyan. I took care of these for the Marquis, and he didn't care much about them. I remember one year, the palace rewarded some pieces of brocade, and the princess and I put them on the kang.

I'm talking about making clothes for Sister Yun and Sister Xin. They are all red, including pink, silver and bright red.

It happened that the Marquis came back and saw it, so he asked where the satin came from.

Hearing that they were rewarded by the palace, he said, why don't you reward some brightly colored ones so that you ladies can make clothes, but instead reward these?

The princess and I didn’t quite understand. The princess laughed at that time and said it wasn’t bright enough. The Marquis frowned.

I also said that these were made for Sister Yun and Sister Xin. It happened to be the new red color in Beijing that year. But the Marquis said, when did girls start to dress like boys? Then he left

.

Neither the princess nor I quite understood what he meant.

It was just a trivial matter. Later, the Marquis didn't mention it, and I forgot to ask. But I always remembered that it was unusual. Now when the seventh lady said it, it actually corresponded to this..."

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said: "In the eyes of protanopia, red will be mistaken for gray, so the Marquis saw the red brocade and thought it was gray. He was wondering why you made gray clothes for girls...

"

According to Mrs. Jiang's description, Jiang Liang, the Marquis of Yuanping, may have been red-blind.

However, in this era, people do not have the concept of color blindness.

Moreover, for men in this era, let alone choosing fabrics to make clothes, they even had someone to serve them when they were wearing clothes. Therefore, Marquis Yuanping never made a joke about wearing red clothes as gray when going out.

He has been color blind since he was a child. As a man, Yuan Pinghou does not need to sew or embroider, and his contact with colors is not so frequent and close. Unlike later generations who have ubiquitous traffic lights, Yuan Pinghou who lives in this era is only red-blind.

He may not even notice it himself.

Even if his family members think there is something strange about him, it is difficult to refute him.

"Miss Gu, can you cure Sister Xin's eyes?" Jiang Yun, who was listening silently, suddenly asked.

Gu Jinzhi shook her head and said she couldn't.

"Is it really impossible?" Jiang Yun refused to give up, "You can think of a way..."

"The second young lady has lost the courage to live because of this. If there is a way, it will not only allow her to see the colorful world clearly, but also save her life. How can I keep it?" Gu Jinzhi said.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly stopped Jiang Yun and said, "Miss Gu is kind-hearted. Could it be that she lied to you?" Then she apologized to Gu Jinzhi, "My little girl spoke recklessly."

Jiang Yun also said: "I am worried and speak recklessly and inappropriately. Miss Gu, please don't be on the same level as me."

Gu Jinzhi smiled and said it was okay.

After explaining clearly, Gu Jinzhi stood up and left.

Mrs. Jiang escorted her to Chuihua's door.

Just then Qin Shensi came in.

The two of them talked for a few words, but Gu Jinzhi didn't say anything about Jiang Xin's color blindness. He only asked him to make charcoal from the saponins and rhubarb, and give it to Jiang Xin to drink.

It should be taken for ten consecutive days.

Qin Shensi wrote them down one by one.

Gu Jinzhi returned home.

Song Pan'er asked her how long Jiang Xin would continue to suffer from his illness.

Gu Jinzhi told Song Pan'er about Jiang Xin and Yuan Pinghou's color blindness: "Mom, don't tell anyone, just let us know. I see the Jiang family doing things, and they care about reputation..."

This was also the first time Song Paner heard the term color blindness.

"Why am I chewing this tongue?" Song Pan'er said, "What does color blindness look like? Please tell mother carefully."

Gu Jinzhi explained it to her mother again.

Song Pan'er was surprised when she heard this.

"How does it feel when you can't see the color?" Song Pan'er clicked her tongue, "It's so pitiful that it hasn't been cured yet. If it were me, I would have been killed earlier."

The feeling of not being able to see colors is similar to watching black and white TV, right?

When Gu Jinzhi was a child, when she lived with her parents in Changzhou, there was a black and white TV at home.

I also enjoyed watching it at that time.

She cannot deeply understand color blindness, and can only vaguely guess that it is similar to watching black and white TV. Of course, achromatic blindness will never be qualified to upgrade to color TV.

Everyone else is watching color TV, but I am watching black and white. This heart-wrenching feeling is probably very uncomfortable.

Not knowing that she was color blind, she thought she had some serious illness, which made Jiang Xin extremely pessimistic.

"It's not like she'll die in a head-on collision." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "She's been like this since she was a child. It's because of her own worries that she's so sad. Some people are blind and can't see anything, so they can't live.

Okay? At least she is much better than the blind man..."

Song Paner smiled.

"Doesn't she have other diseases?" Song Pan'er asked again, "Can it be cured?"

"It got better last time." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "I have made it clear to her this time. Once the depression in my heart is resolved, she will probably be fine."

Song Pan'er didn't ask any more questions.

For several days in a row, the Jiang family did not bother Gu Jinzhi again.

It can be seen that the medicine is effective.

If it didn't work, it would have been time to ask Gu Jinzhi for a follow-up consultation.

Gu Jinzhi felt relieved and resumed learning needlework from Master Cheng and Mama Zhu. This time, she felt a little better than last time and no longer pricked her hands.

This made Gu Jinzhi overjoyed.

Master Cheng and Mama Zhu were also very happy.

Without pricking his hands, Gu Jinzhi would not be repelled, and he would become more interested in learning as he continued.

October passed slowly.

In the winter months, it is severe winter in the capital, cold and dry.

On the afternoon of the third day of the winter, the maid at the old house came to tell me that grandma Lin Manjing's amniotic water had broken, and she asked the girl to come and take care of her.

Gu Jinzhi didn't know how to deliver the baby, but she went there happily.

Song Paner also followed.

That day, mother and daughter lived in the old house.

The eldest brother also came back from the drug store.

He couldn't enter the delivery room and was uneasy. After a while, he urged Gu Jinzhi to help him see how his sister-in-law was doing.

Although it was her second child, the birth was still difficult for my sister-in-law.

The amniotic water broke in the afternoon of the third day of the third lunar month, and it was not until the early morning of the fourth day of the fourth lunar month that the baby was born.

She is a girl weighing less than five pounds.

This generation of the Gu family has few heirs, whether they are boys or girls. The eldest lady and Gu Chenzhi are very happy. But Lin Manjing is a little uncomfortable.

She wanted to give Gu Chenzhi a son.

However, seeing her husband's excitement and her mother-in-law's smiling face, her discomfort quickly passed.

After the baby was born, the ladies in the house took good care of Lin Manjing, and she was not worried. There were no problems.

The birth of a child is a great joy.

The third baptismal ceremony was held with great ceremony.

The elder was also very happy and named the child himself.

Gu Chenzhi's eldest daughter was named Gu Xi, so the second daughter was named Gu Biao.

Everyone yelled and yelled away.

Although Sister Zhu only weighs four pounds, she has a loud voice and is very powerful when she cries...

The eldest lady personally helped her choose a wet nurse and took her to her own nanny to raise her.

Lin Manjing doesn't have to worry at all, she just needs to have a good confinement period.

At the third baptism ceremony, Gu Jinzhi also met the fourth sister Gu Shanzhi.

The fourth sister looked at Gu Jinzhi several times, as if she wanted to talk to Gu Jinzhi.

She has a flat belly. She has been married to her husband's family for more than a year and has not yet given birth.
