Chapter 353: Premeditated

After the New Year's Day, it is the day of victory, and the Lantern Festival will soon pass. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The "Ninety-Nine Chilling Picture" hanging on the wall has already described seven plum blossoms, Zheng Sui heard Yu Shi say, outside the city of Surabaya, the glacier has opened, the bank of willows, full of green silk.

The earth is returning in spring, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

This season's cold winter has finally survived.

Due to the all-out disaster relief in Xuzhou Prefecture, the number of people who died in the snow disaster in the four counties and 30 counties in the territory was only more than 100 people.

There were countless casualties, and there was a tendency to spread to other counties.

The imperial court urgently ordered Yuan Gang to suppress Yiyang, and Huan Yu sent troops to Huaichuan.

Huan Yu transferred 2,000 people to Huan Shu, and assigned him two more staff members, "You are not too young, go out this time, and come back with the title of a general." ”

Shu Lang is twenty years old.

Although Huan Yu did not go over in person, Zheng Sui has not seen him since the day of Zhengdan.

"The Li family is here, and it's the sister-in-law of the Li family. ”

Zheng Suigang traced the plum petals on the "Chilling Map", looked back at the morning breeze who was talking, and handed the purple pen in his hand to the hundred herbs next to him, "Send someone to bring it to Qingyin Hall." ”

"The servant woman at the back door has already led people over, it's funny to say, listening to the servant woman who came and went, the Qiu Niang still wanted to come in to pay a visit to the lady," Chenfeng said this, and hurriedly laughed back: "By the way, the sister-in-law from the Li family is surnamed Qiu, so she is called Qiu Niangzi." ”

"You go and ask Ah Yu to entertain her, I'm gone. ”

Zheng Sui walked to the window, today's weather is good, the afternoon sun is extremely warm, he sat on the chair at the window, in the yard, in addition to the evergreen locust poplar, the remaining paulownia trees and elm trees, dry branches, after an autumn and winter, seem to be rejuvenated, the branches spit new green, follow the footsteps of spring.

As soon as he saw Zheng Sui like this, Chenfeng responded to the voice, and when he was about to withdraw, he heard Zheng Sui say again, "You and Liu Yuan will watch and deal with the matter over there, and there is no need to go back and forth." ”

"Yui. The morning breeze answered and went out.

Zheng Sui looked at Xin Yi as if he had something to go back, and couldn't help asking, "There is no news of Langjun yet?"

"No, the servant heard Tan Changshi say that he has sent someone to deliver the letter, if the general is on the way back, he may be able to come back earlier, if not, it will take at least ten days to come back and forth. ”

Ten days back and forth?

Zheng Sui's heart suddenly crashed, Huan Yu could never go to Licheng, it must be north of Licheng, and the capital of the pseudo-Xia was in Guangyang, separated by the jurisdiction of Dayan, he only brought Huan Jin, Lu Heng and more than a dozen guards when he went out this time, thinking of this, Zheng Sui's body broke out in a cold sweat.

He's too bold.

"Ma'am. Xin Yi saw that Zheng Sui's face was wrong, and hurriedly shouted.

"I'm fine. Zheng Sui came back to his senses, wiped the sweat off his forehead directly with his sleeves, and held the windowsill with both hands, his fingertips were white and trembling slightly.

It's going to be fine, he's not a sloppy person.

It must have been well planned.

"Madam, Tan Changshi sent someone over to ask if he wanted Ma Shilang to announce the decree first, and Madame would take the decree on behalf of the general. ”

"Did he inquire clearly, what is the envoy from Beijing here to do this time?" The reason why Zheng Sui asked this is because two days ago, a group of envoys from Beijing suddenly came to Xuzhou, led by Ma Tao, a waiter from the Yellow Gate who had just taken office, saying that he was ordered by the queen mother and the emperor in the palace to announce the reward.

Tan Changshi asked, they only said that they were ordered to come over to announce the reward, and said that if the general was not in Xuzhou due to official business, the same would be true for the lady. ”

Xin Yi glanced at Zheng Sui, leaned closer and said lightly: "Tan Changshi also said that the two eunuchs who came with Ma Shilang were the close attendants in the palace of the Queen Mother, and they were the two who were in charge of the group, but those two people were extremely tight-mouthed and couldn't find anything. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Sui frowned, she really couldn't think of why Jingli would send Ma Tao over to announce the reward at this time, after all, Shu Lang's rebellion in Huaichuan had not yet ended, and it was useless.

Is it to praise the disaster relief last winter?

Zheng Sui shook his head, and felt that it was not, if it was a compliment, not to mention, Ma Tao would never keep his mouth shut, the general edict was drafted by Zhongshu Province and reviewed by Shangshutai, so that when Ma Tao and his party did not arrive in Xuzhou, the news had already reached Xuzhou first.

This time, they didn't hear anything beforehand.

Too suddenly.

"What is Tan Changshi's opinion?" Zheng Sui asked Xin Yi with his head sideways.

Tan Changshi felt that the will of the reward was the same for Mrs. to take over, and now they stayed in Xuzhou, which was inconvenient, so he announced the decree and sent them away earlier. ”

Zheng Sui pondered for a long time, "Wait for Lang Jun to come back, you and Tan Changshi will say that the edict must not be relevant if it is not a monk in Zhongshu Province, so you don't need to care too much." After thinking about it, he advised: "Let Huan Qin keep an eye on the post house, find out the movement, and report it in time, in addition, Lang Jun's whereabouts are not allowed to leak anything." ”

"Yui. Xin Yi responded, seeing that Zheng Sui had no orders from the side, he went to the outer courtyard to spread the word first.

――*――*――

After Qiu met Liu Yuan, he returned to Qingyin Hall.

On this trip, she had already been instructed by her husband Li Huan, but after coming to the General's Mansion, she found that Li Xue didn't know about the upcoming return, and she was even more unwilling to return.

Yesterday, she persuaded her ruthlessly, but Li Xue was beaten up.

This couldn't help but wonder if her husband would be wrong.

Until just now, Liu Yuan handed her a book of concubines and the documents of the yamen, she was illiterate, but when her husband was a county official, she had seen a lot of such documents.

That's why she believed.

When I entered the courtyard, I looked up and saw Li Xue sitting under the porch, because she had just given birth to a child, she had not completely lost weight, her body was much plumper than before, and even her head seemed to be taller than the last time I saw her.

The breeze blows, the hair is slightly raised, and the face is red and white, and the color is excellent.

When she married into the Li family, Li Xuegang would walk on the bed.

More than ten years have passed, since the death of the A family (mother-in-law), she almost brought up her sister-in-law Li Xue as her own daughter, and once thought about finding a suitable marriage for her, so as to live up to the dying trust of the A family.

"Sister-in-law is back. ”

Li Xue under the corridor shouted, Qiu came back to his senses, approached, looked at the sewing basket in front of Li Xue's couch and the style of children's clothes, his eyes darkened slightly, "You are making clothes." ”

"Yes, for 'Ah Bu'. ”

Li Xue got up and stretched out her hand to help Qiu sit down, looking at Qiu's gaze, with a little expectation, "Sister-in-law can see 'Ah No', isn't it very similar to Lang Jun?"

Facing Li Xue's smiling face and bent eyebrows, Qiu Shi was more distressed, did not sit down, but pulled Li Xue into the inner room, dismissed the servant, closed the door, and then sat down on a couch, "Sister, I didn't see Mrs. Zheng, let alone the child 'Ah Bu'. ”

As soon as the words fell, the smile on Li Xue's face froze for a moment, "Yes...... Really?"

After that, he forced a smile, "That's right, Mrs. doesn't see outsiders easily, Lang Jun once instructed Mrs. to meditate and raise the fetus, and leave the idle chores to the servant, don't scratch Mrs." ”

Qiu really didn't want to say more, so he threw the letter of release of concubines and the document of sales to Li Xue, "You are literate, you can see for yourself." ”

When Li Xue's eyes touched the words on the paperwork, her face suddenly turned pale, and after reaching out to pick it up, she opened it for only a moment, and shouted, "This is impossible." ”

There was a squeak, and in Qiu's frightened voice, it was torn in half.

"You're crazy. ”

"Sister-in-law, this is impossible, impossible, Lang Jun will not treat me like this, I have never been to Zhengyi Yuan since then, I am obedient, I have not passed......"

The paper had been torn to shreds.

Qiu's couldn't be rescued, so he had to hurriedly put away the paperwork that had been sold out, but he looked at Li Xue's miserable appearance, and couldn't bear it, "Ah Tang, you are still young, listen to your sister-in-law's advice, go back to Li's house with your sister-in-law, there are 100 taels of gold, and your brother is here, we will find another wishful husband for you, this time to be the head husband and wife, okay?"

"Liu Yuan has already said, the people and things in the yard, you can take whatever you want to take with you, clean up today, and we will leave tomorrow. ”

"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving. Li Xue pushed away Qiu's hand, "I want to go, my sister-in-law will go by herself, I won't go, there is Lang Jun, and 'Ah No', 'Ah No' is the child I gave to Lang Jun, he is here, I won't go anywhere." ”

She admitted that at first, she wanted to promote the portal and was willing to be a concubine.

It's just later, but because of Huan Yu, few of the men she has seen can compare to Huan Yu.

Ruyi Langjun, is it so easy to find?

"Ah Tang, have you seen the child since it was born?"

Qiu's eyes were full of bitterness, and he stepped forward and touched Li Xue's shoulder, "You sober up, 'Ah No' is the child of the general and Mrs. Zheng, but he borrowed your belly, and the original concubine documents were sold in the yamen, so you stay in the general's mansion and have no name." ”

"Listen to my sister-in-law, let's go back to Li's house, General Huan promised your eldest brother, after you return, you will transfer your eldest brother back from Jiaozhi County, you have always been smart, you should know how to choose. ”

As soon as she heard this, Li Xue gradually recovered from the shock, slowly calmed down, and came back to her senses, "Sister-in-law's gaze is too shallow. ”

Next, to Qiu's surprise, he laughed, his voice was a little low, revealing a bit of wisdom, "There will be a reputation, I am the biological mother of 'Ah Bu', not only will I have a reputation, as long as 'Ah Bu' has a future, in the future, Mrs. Tai's reputation will be there." ”

Such a sister-in-law is familiar to her, since she was a child, every time she shows such an expression, others will suffer.

It's just that now, there is a bit of firmness in his eyes, so firm that he makes Qiu feel afraid.

"Don't talk nonsense,"

Qiu grabbed Li Xue's arm, "I can't think of anything in the future, but now it's up to you whether your eldest brother can come back, it should be my sister-in-law begging you." ”

Saying that he was going to kneel down for Li Xue, Li Xue hurriedly avoided it. (To be continued.) )
