The Fu family's belongings are not Zhang Xing's, Uncle Fu thought very thoroughly, he felt that he would not be able to go back to Yuxian this time. Who knows when this battle will be over. Everything that could be taken away was taken away, and it was busy for a few days, and it was full of seven or eight wagons.

When he went out of the city, it was mighty, and many families in the town knew about the situation of the Fu family, and his in-laws and son-in-law were in Yu County, and the business was big. They're going to Yuxian. Some people didn't think much about it, but some wondered, is the situation not good?

But if people have sons-in-law to take refuge, who can they rely on?

When I arrived in Yu County, it was a different story.

There are a lot of people, but the most common of them is not ordinary people, but soldiers in armor and knives, a team of past, staggered and hurried footsteps accompanied by the sound of iron colliding, so that people dare not make a sound.

Sun Xin let Wei Ji's carriage get out of the way, and when these people passed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

They were accompanied by an executioner invited in Zhanghe Town, and the leader of them led the horse over and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, I'm afraid this posture in Yuxian County is not safe, right?"

Sun Xin glanced at him and snorted coldly, "If you want to be safe, this entire Jianghuai is here except for Huaiyang!

Tang surrendered and nodded thoughtfully.

Aunt Fu lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at it carefully, and waited until the team had passed before asking, "Are we coming at the wrong time?"

Uncle Fu didn't say anything, He An was next to the carriage and replied in a low voice: "Since the turn of the year, it has been like this every day here." ”

Zhanghe is a small town, and the people are mostly from word of mouth to the outside news, because the matter has not yet come to the head, and the people who heard it were a little scared at first, and then saw that the days were as usual, and most of them did not take it to heart.

In fact, the sky has changed outside, there are big wars and small battles, and I don't know how many people have died. Among them, the most intense situation is undoubtedly Yuxian, Huaiyang and other places.

Not long after the carriage entered the city, they met the people who had come to pick them up.

Zhang Xing said goodbye to Uncle Fu and the others and went directly to Wutong Lane.

Since Zhang Jinbao returned to Yuxian, he asked Xiao's mother, who was left behind in Wutong Lane, to start preparing. Zhang Xing When they arrived, the courtyard was already ready.

Zhang Xing came out after washing, drank a cup of hot tea, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and was stunned.

The little brother slept soundly along the way, but when he got home, he opened his eyes and looked around, which was completely different from the fatigue of Zhang Xing and others.

Mother You smiled and said, "Our little brother is really blessed. ”

The little brother grinned, hugged his feet and gnawed very happily.

Looking at his son's self-amusing appearance, Zhang Xing felt most of his exhaustion, "Did you get a letter from Wei Zhai?"

Xiao's mother said: "I sent someone to send it over earlier." Manager Zhao came after noon today, and he was still waiting in the side courtyard. ”

Zhang Xing nodded, instructed to take a good look at the little brother, put on a jacket, and went to the side courtyard.

"Mr. Zhao has lost weight, and he has worked hard during this time. Zhang Xing said with a smile.

Zhao Zixing touched his chin, the fat on his waist has indeed gone down a lot during this time, "Madam is polite, this is Zhao's duty, why do you have to say so hard?"

After asking how they were okay, Zhao Zixing handed over the things on hand, "This is the account book of this year's grain bank and commercial bank, Mr. Du is inconvenient, and he asked him to send the account book." ”

Du Huiming is still in charge of the trading of the trading house in Jiangling, but he no longer hangs the seal and remembers the signboard. Jianghuai became a mess here, and Jiangling was not quiet, it first fell into the hands of Xiao Fugui, and was taken back by the Yan family after the New Year. Because of the Yun clan's horse gang, their news flow has not been interrupted

Zhang Xing opened a glance and put it aside, asking, "Is there any news from Second Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Zi'an went to sea with the boat in September last year, and she was waiting to give birth on Zhuangzi, but she never heard from him.

Zhao Zixing lowered his head and handed over the letter at hand.

After reading it, Zhang Xing was silent for a long time.

Zhao Zixing said in a low voice: "It was my second brother who was reckless. ”

Zhang Xing shook her head, "Second Brother Zhao can't be blamed for this, it's my fault." She lowered her head and whispered.

"Did you tell him about Steward Xiao?" she asked in a low voice.

Xiao Deyu and Xiao Desheng are brother and sister, Xiao Deyu and his family have an accident, and this news can't be hidden from him.

Zhao Zixing shook his head, "Steward Xiao followed the uncle to southern Fujian, it's too late to say." ”

Zhang Xing was silent for a moment, "After Steward Xiao comes back, I will tell him in person." ”

"Yes. Zhao Zixing responded.

"How is the grain store doing? How much grain is still in stock?"

Zhangji Grain Bank began to reduce its scale last year, with the purpose of collecting more and producing less, and now it has saved a lot. Some time ago, when there was an incident in the northwest, Wei Minwu escorted more than a dozen boats over and turned the mountain road near Heyang. Even with so much, the amount of food stored in Zhang's memory is still staggering.

"Close several shops in Yu'an, Yuyang, Chenzhou, and Buxian. Zhang Xing said lightly.

Zhao Zixing was taken aback, and looked up at Zhang Xing, "Madam, is Yu'an's shop going to be closed too?"

Yu'an is close to Yu County, and because it is close to the Huai River, the waterway is smooth and developed, over the years, the income of the grain bank there is very considerable, which is better than here in Yu County.

"Off. Zhang Xing said, "The grain is all here, and I am tired of managing Zhao to handle this matter in the next few days." ”

Although Zhao Zixing had doubts in his heart, he still responded.

After he left, Zhang Xing sat alone in the room for a while, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of ding-dong was continuous.

"Madam, the third uncle is here!" Xia Zhi said outside.

Zhang Xing wiped the corner of her eyes and went out, and Xiao's mother was holding her little brother over. When the little brother saw her, he hurriedly opened his hand.

Zhang Xing took it, and he sniffed everywhere in her arms.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and the time for breastfeeding had already passed.

"Tell the third uncle, and I'll go over right away. ”

Xia Solstice went out to talk back. Zhang Xing took the little brother back to the room, fed the milk, and the little brother fell asleep sweetly. She handed him over to Xiao's mother.

When Zhang Jinbao saw Zhang Xing coming in, he hurriedly put down the girl's hand and stood up, "Sister!"

Zhang Xing glanced at the girl a few times, it was a raw face, not long after she wanted to come in, she had a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, her head lowered, her pretty face was flushed, and she looked pitiful.

Zhang Jinbao hurriedly said, "You still don't go out?"

The little girl immediately bent her body and ran out with her head down.

Zhang Jinbao smiled and handed a cup of tea to Zhang Xing, "Sister, drink tea." ”

Zhang Xing took it, took a sip and put it down, looking at Zhang Jinbao.

Zhang Jinbao was a little numb by her, and explained with a smile: "Sister, I, I'm joking, look at palmistry......"

Zhang Xing lowered her head. It was her negligence, she had always treated him as a child, in fact, he had grown up. It's also time to get married.

The Zhang family's life is getting better and better, and there are a lot of slaves in the family. Zhang Jinbao was interested in the imperial examination in his early years, but he didn't care when he was lucky, and the Shen family came to the door again. Zhang Xing had already stopped thinking about letting him take this path.

But he is different from Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu, Ye Hexiang is mean to others, but he treats his own son as an eyeball. used to be so poor that he didn't forget to give his son good food and drink, but later when his life got better, it became even worse. So much so that Zhang Jinbao is now untouched and shouldered.

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu are not at home, Yun Jinlan's production is imminent, Fu Xianglian's health is not good, and the affairs of the Wei and Li families can only be handed over to Zhang Jinbao.

It is conceivable that most of the new girls in her family were purchased by him.

However, when people came in, she wanted to send it away, and she was not in a hurry.

Zhang Xing asked Wei Yunhai, Ye Hexiang and others about the situation.

Zhang Jinbao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all good, it's all good." My mother and sister-in-law were going to come to see you, but I stopped them and said that they would come back tomorrow. ”

"Don't come here, I'll go tomorrow. "Wei Minwen is not at home, Yun Jinlan's production is imminent, Ye Hexiang will only play some lip service, and he is really not reliable. She had to go over and take a look.

Zhang Jinbao said happily: "That's great." "The two brothers are not at home, there is a room of old and weak women and children, and he is also under a lot of pressure on the other side of the city wall.

"Is Uncle Fu's side all settled?"

"It's all settled. Zhang Jinbao replied. Uncle Fu originally had a house in Yuxian County, and Fu Xianglian often went over to see it, and when she got the news that they were coming, she started to clean it up a few days earlier. Now that Uncle Fu and the others have arrived, everything is ready-made.

Zhang Xing had already learned about the situation in Yuxian County from Zhao Zixing, and since everyone was fine, she asked Zhang Jinbao to go back early.

Early the next morning, Sun Xin drove the carriage over and drove Zhang Xing's little brother and Mother You to Wei's house.

Everyone spoke, divided the male and female seats, sat around two tables, and in the middle of the meal, they heard a rumbling sound.

Zhang Xing stopped his chopsticks, and even the little brother who was originally holding the bracelet and gnawing also stopped, listening attentively.

Aunt Fu's face turned white with fright, and the chopsticks in her hand fell.

Fu Xianglian picked it up, asked the girl to change a pair, and said to Aunt Fu: "Mother, it's okay, it's like this every day." ”

Uncle Fu was surprised and said, "It's like this every day?"

Fu Xianglian nodded, "I heard that Xiao Fugui's men and horses are camping on the side of Shilipo, and they will come to attack every three or five days." Our Yuxian city wall is so high, where is it so easy to capture?"

Uncle Fu was skeptical, and Yun Jinlan also smiled comfortingly: "That's true." ”

Uncle Fu saw that Yun Jinlan, who was pregnant, did not change her face, and secretly said in her heart that her courage was too small.

After eating, Ye Hexiang took the little brother and went to the yard, Zhang Xing said to Xia Zhi, "Let the ancient steward see what is going on outside?"

After dinner, Gu Yu came in and replied: "...... Thirty-four people died, more than 100 people were injured, and there was a collapse of the city wall on the other side of the south city gate, and General Yue was repairing it with his men and horses. ”

Zhang Xing thought of the long queue of people when they entered the city, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any other casualties?"

Gu Yu said: "I heard that a lot of homeless people died at the city gate, because the city gate is closed, there is no accurate number of deaths." ”

Zhang Xing didn't speak for a long time. Gu Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Madam, the city gate is only temporarily closed. I heard the city guards say that after Xiao Fugui's men and horses retreated, the city gate would be opened again. ”

Today's Jianghuai, most of them fall into the hands of Xiao Fugui, but the people below do not have much good impression of it, and they are not active in joining the army and supporting the army, so that they have to forcibly draw Ding.

Although the Huaiyang Palace's strength is weak, the city under its command is still in order, and the displaced people are coming over in a steady stream, which is much better than Xiao Fugui and his family in the hearts of the people.

Zhang Xing wrote a few words and handed them to Gu Yu, "Send them to Manager Zhao." ”

"Hey. Gu Yu responded happily.

When Zhang Xing put pen to paper, he was next to him. She asked Manager Zhao to clean up some of the medicinal materials in the library and send them to several pharmacies in the city. He knew that in these pharmacies, Lang Zhong was drawn to the army for medical treatment. Today's Yuxian County relies on these military masters to defend it desperately. This kind of good thing, he is willing to run errands.

Zhang Xing looked at Gu Yu running out happily, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head. After laughing, he sighed again.

He can only see the good things in Yuxian County now, but the actual situation is not good at all.

The soldiers and horses of the Shen family are not as good as Heyang, she thought that Wanbei Mountain, which had the Yan family as a backer, was powerful, but now it seems that it may not be. The marriage between the Gu and Shen families was not stable at this time. Jianghuai is a big fat meat, and the Shen family is bound to win. However, if the Huaiyang Royal Mansion relies on this and puts forward too harsh conditions, they may not accept it. In fact, after Xiao Fugui and Huaiyang Wangfu are almost done, the Shen family will take over, which is much better for the lion of Huaiyang Wangfu to open his mouth.

Judging from the information she got in her hands, the Shen family is doing this nine times out of ten.

Although Huaiyang Wangfu has the support of General Luo, this support is still too thin compared to the joint efforts of Xiao Fugui and Liu Shaoping.

Xiao Fugui is much more fierce than Gu Yongfeng, everywhere he goes, he will smoke a lot, and if he doesn't obey, he will be killed. The walls were also cleaned, and the garrison was cleaned up for miles around.

And Gu Yongfeng is still opening the city gate to accept people, although he has won people's hearts by doing so, but there are also hidden dangers. If Xiao Fugui and people are mixed in, this will be a big trouble.

Zhang Xing didn't know much about marching and fighting, she knew everything that couldn't be done, she felt that Gu Yongfeng must know, but he was still doing it. There must be another reason for this.

Gu Yongfeng must have something else to ask for.

What the hell was he trying to do? She couldn't guess yet, but one day, she would know.

In any case, she doesn't want Yuxian County to fall into the hands of Xiao Fugui now, so no matter what Gu Yongfeng's plans are, he looks pretty good now, she is a member of the city, so she should do her part.

Fu Xianglian took her son Wei Junbao in, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? ”

Zhang Xing smiled. The Wei family now has a large population, so she didn't bring more people with her this time, and there were only two in the inner courtyard for her mother's summer solstice. Sun Baozhu is pregnant, and she can't be by her side anymore. Xia Zhi was originally guarding the door, it seemed that he had been ordered by Fu Xianglian, and when they came in, there was no squeak.
