When Zhang Xing woke up, it was already midnight. The room was dimly lit and silent. She felt like she was dead again. Everything came to mind one by one, and unconsciously a line of tears flowed down. She took a deep breath and called, "Summer solstice, summer solstice!"

Xia Zhi stayed by the bedside, because later the housemother slowly calmed down, and she was too tired, so she leaned on the bed and fell asleep. When I heard the shouting, I was startled.

"Madam, you're awake!" Xia Solstice exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Xing smiled at her, she couldn't even nod her head.

Xia Zhi cried with joy and said, "Madam, wait, I'll call the uncle and the second master over." ”

"Don't!" Zhang Xing stopped, "Help me up first." ”

Xia Zhi came back and helped Zhang Xing sit up. Zhang Xing looked in the room. He asked again, "Where is Brother Xi'er?"

"Mrs. Hui, Brother Xi is on the grandmother's side. Mother You just went to see it, and I heard that she was already asleep. "Summer Solstice returns.

Zhang Xing nodded, and smelled the unpleasant smell of sweat and medicine on his body. "Fetch water, I'm going to wash. She said.

Xia Zhi responded, thinking that Wei Minwen and Min Wu were still in the courtyard and had not left, and said, "Madam, the uncle and the second master are just outside the door." ”

"I know, let me change my clothes first. Zhang Xing said. She didn't have to look in the mirror to know she was embarrassed right now. After she realized that she had been drugged, she was unconscious, and some of the things around her knew and some didn't. But whether you know it or not, you are absolutely embarrassed after such a toss.

Go out to fetch water on the summer solstice. The two Wei brothers who were sitting in the courtyard and didn't leave looked over. Xia Zhi didn't have time to talk to them, so he hurriedly returned to the back room with hot water

Wei Minwu asked, "Is this awake?"

Wei Minwen nodded and called Mother You over: "Let the kitchen hurry up and boil some rice porridge." ”

Mother You had already gone to the room to see it, and knew that Zhang Xing had woken up, so she got the order and hurried to the kitchen.

Both brothers stood up.

Zhang Xing finished washing, changed into clothes, and felt a lot better. Mother You brought the porridge and said with a smile: "This is what the uncle ordered the kitchen to boil." ”

Zhang Xing didn't postpone it, and drank all the bowl of porridge, and then felt a little strength in his body. Look at the room, it's almost cleaned up. She said, "Let the second master come in." ”

Wei Minwen Wei Minwu came in, and they were all relieved to see that although Zhang Xing was tired, he was much better than before.

After Zhang Xing waited for Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu to sit down, she gave Xia Zhiyou a look again. Xia Zhiyou's mother understood, and quietly took the door out.

"Let the eldest brother and the second brother laugh. Zhang Xing said with a wry smile.

Wei Minwen frowned and said, "It's all a family, why are you saying this? No one wants to encounter this thing, and we can only blame us for being too incompetent." ”

Zhang Xing shook his head and said, "The eldest brother and the second brother have already reminded me, I was too careless." ”

After Zhang Xing took the post, Wei Minwen began to inquire about Shen Huailin and Yao Mingzhu. That Shen Huailin said that he was Shen Qian's eldest son, and he was easy to inquire about every move. Yao Mingzhu was in the courtyard of the deep house, and in a few days, there was very little news they could hear. Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu both suggested that Zhang Xing reply to this post. After all, this season is too chaotic, and after not seeing each other for so long, who knows what the other party is thinking?

Zhang Xing didn't listen. At that time, I only thought about Yao Mingzhu in Jingkou Town, who was the life-saving benefactor of the stone, and had a good relationship with her. The whereabouts of the stone are unknown, and perhaps there will be some news from her side. Even if there is no news, she should meet her.

Who would have thought that after all these years, everything would be different.

In a moment of carelessness, she almost lost her life.

"Don't talk about this yet, what should we do in the future?" Wei Minwu asked.

Zhang Xing lowered his head and asked, "What did Liu Fu say over there?"

Wei Minwen saw that Zhang Xing's expression was not abnormal, and it didn't look like he had a heart for Gu Xichao, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Shen Huailin personally came to ask for someone, but was stopped by Gu Xichao. Wei Minwu was not as meticulous as Wei Minwen, and said with a big grin.

Xiao Desheng, who went to Liu's Mansion to inquire about the news, had already returned, and after Shen Huailin arrived at Liu's Mansion, Gu Xichao personally entertained him, and the two talked back and forth. Gu Xichao also let go of the courtyard and let him just search. In the end, of course, no one was found. Gu Xichao invited Shen Huailin to the main hall again, and the two closed the door to talk. As for what was said. Xiao Desheng didn't dare to get too close and didn't hear it.

When Shen Huailin left Liu's Mansion, his face was very bad.

Xiao Desheng told Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu the news of the inquiry. The Wei brothers had to be secretly on guard, and asked Sun Xin to gather all the manpower in Yu County, and all the guys were ready in case of emergency.

However, they also knew that these people of theirs were not enough to look at Shen Huailin's people at all.

But even if they weren't enough to see, they couldn't let people get taken away.

Frightened and trembling in the middle of the night, Shen Huailin's people had not yet come. They knew he wasn't coming. Wei Minwen Wei Minwu calculated it, Gu Xichao must have played a role in this matter.

"Xing'er, this matter is fortunate to have Gu Shizi. Wei Minwu said with emotion.

Wei Minwen was afraid that Zhang Xing would think too much, so he glared at Wei Minwu, "What do you mean by thanks to him? Let's talk about it thoroughly, it's also for their family! Isn't Shen Huaijin his brother-in-law? With so much grain being sent, it has to be a starting point, right?"

Wei Minwu thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhang Xing was smiling bitterly in her heart, the marriage between the two Shen Gu families was simply driven by interests. The Shen family took a fancy to the Gu family's foundation in Jianghuai, and the Gu family took a fancy to the Shen family's strong soldiers. It's all easy to say when it's a two-on-two benefit, but when it comes to a conflict of interest, it's not at all.

Isn't Yuxian's suffering some time ago the most vivid example? If the Shen family really treats the Gu family as their in-laws, will they wait until the Gu family is almost consumed before making a move?

The Gu family is not a fool, he can't see the real purpose of the Shen family's this?

Zhang Xing asked Wei Minwu: "Did the second brother and Meng Fugui pick up?"

Wei Minwen came back with the boat, and they decided to send some of the grain that was exposed. Wei Minwu is busy with this matter these days.

Wei Minwu nodded, "It's already connected, that old thing is almost overjoyed." ”

"Second brother, don't be busy sending the food over, find an opportunity to tell Meng Fugui what I encountered today, just say that I was scared and unconscious, Zhang remembered that the big shopkeeper couldn't get the seal and refused to put the food. Zhang Xing said in a deep voice.

Wei Minwu understood. Shen Huailin embarrassed them, so they didn't have to worry about dealing with it at all, just kicked the ball to Shen Huaijin.

If Shen Huaijin couldn't get his brother, they wouldn't have to give him this food, they would just give it to Shen Huailin. lest Shen Huailin use any more indiscriminate means.

"Okay!" Wei Minwu slapped the table, "That's it, our food can't be kept anyway, whoever has the ability, we will give it to whomever has the ability." Let's not get involved in the fight between the two wolves of the Shen family. ”

Wei Minwen thought for a while and said, "Xing'er, let's do this, will Shen Huaijin ...... you over there" After all, their food has always been given to Shen Huaijin, and he suddenly hesitated, he was worried that Shen Huaijin would be unfavorable to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing shook his head, "The Shen family has already made a move, let's not be afraid of another one." ”

Wei Minwen was worried that Shen Huaijin would be unfavorable to her, and it was superfluous to worry about it at this time, Shen Huailin thought that if she took her, she could get the food of the seal. Shen Huaijin will definitely not let the fat in his hand fall into other people's bowls.

How expensive the grain is at this time, the place in the northwest is bitterly cold, and the Shen family's savings of grain and grass will not be too much. On Jianghuai's side, they have only only gained a firm foothold, and their hands have not yet stretched out - even if they do, there is not much food left. Her chapter does not go much to say, half of the Jianghuai granary is always there. The rest is scattered, and his Shen family doesn't want to swallow it for three or five years, it's impossible at all.

After the Shen family took Jianghuai, the next step was either to go south and take Anyang, or to the east and kill to the capital. No matter where he went, food was a headache for him.

Shen Huailin could think of the importance of food, and he did not hesitate to use such a method. Shen Huaijin wouldn't have thought of it. Zhang Xing believed that he would never give up Zhang Ji's food. Meng Fugui has always been in Jianghuai, and he must know it. Without her, Zhang Ji's grain would definitely not be surnamed Shen easily.

Wei Minwu said: "Xing'er is right, Shen Huailin has already made a move, are we still afraid of one more Shen Huaijin?

Wei Minwen also nodded, "Okay, that's all we can do." ”

The most important thing was agreed, Wei Minwen saw that Zhang Xing's face was tired, stood up, and said, "Min Wu will go to find the surnamed Meng De tomorrow, I will go to Liu's Mansion to inquire again, Xing'er, you can rest alive." ”

Zhang Xing sent Wei Minwen Wei Minwen away, and he also felt tired. Called You's mother in and made the bed. She saw the dagger in the basket and picked it up.

Mother You said: "Xia Zhi, this dead girl, actually left this thing here." ”

Xia Zhi was frightened and frightened all day, and Zhang Xing had already let her rest. This dagger was brought by her from Liu's Mansion.

"Mom, go and rest, there's no need for a vigil tonight. Zhang Xing touched the handle of the dagger and said.

"What's the matter, don't worry, madam, the old slave can still survive. Mother You said anxiously.

Zhang Xing did not insist. The two of them fell asleep, and Zhang Xing heard the sound of You's mother's breathing calming down, and her hand touched the handle of the knife under the pillow again. The night was silent, and she rubbed for a long time and closed her eyes.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xing had just finished washing up when he heard Li Xi's voice. She hurried out the door. Fu Xianglian hugged Li Xizheng and walked to the middle of the courtyard. Li Xi originally looked at his mother's door when he entered the courtyard, and when he saw Zhang Xing, he immediately grinned, and opened his hands far away.

"Mother. ”

Zhang Xing took over his son. Li Xi reached out and touched her face, and said in a childish voice, "How is my mother?"

Zhang Xing saw that her son could say four words at once, her heart was full of joy, hugged and kissed, and said, "Yes, my mother is good to kiss." ”

Li Xi was very happy and snuggled his head in Zhang Xing's arms.

Fu Xianglian said with a smile: "Brother Xi is so good, he didn't cry or make trouble last night, but he woke up early this morning, and he had to come to see his mother." ”

Zhang Xing invited Fu Xianglian to sit down, and asked You's mother to bring a snack and beckoned Wei Junbao to eat. Wei Junbao took it and handed it to Li Xi, "Give it." ”

Li Xi grinned, took it and handed it to Zhang Xing's mouth, "Mother eats it." ”

Zhang Xing looked at her son's clear eyes, her heart was soft, and she divided it in half, "Mother and Brother Xi eat together." ”

Brother Xi was even happier.

Mother You stretched out her hand and said, "Brother Xi, is it okay to play in the yard with Mama?"

Brother Xi shook his head and shrunk into Zhang Xing's arms. Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Just let me hold it." ”

Fu Xianglian said with emotion: "Brother Xi is really sensible. ”

Zhang Xing smiled and said, "I was fortunate to have you last night." ”

Fu Xianglian shook her head, "I didn't do anything, Brother Xi is even better than his brother." ”

Wei Junbao looked up at his mother. Zhang Xing hurriedly said: "Junbao is also very well-behaved, and my aunt likes Junbao very much." ”

Fu Xianglian came to her senses, pulled Wei Junbao into her arms, and said with a smile: "Yes, Junbao helped his mother and coax his younger brother to sleep last night." ”

Wei Junbao was satisfied, and immersed himself in eating snacks.

Zhang Xing and Fu Xianglian couldn't help laughing. Fu Xianglian said: "It looks like you're fine." After she picked up Li Xi last night, she asked Gu Yu what happened, and Gu Yu didn't tell Fu Xianglian because Wei Minwen didn't let her say. Fu Xianglian waited until Wei Minwen came back to know a little bit about the details.

In fact, Wei Minwen was afraid that she would be worried, so he didn't make it very clear. only said that Zhang Xing went to the government as a guest and was calculated. After marrying into the Wei family for so many years, Fu Xianglian already knows some things that she can't know. She should know, Wei Minwen will naturally say. There is always a reason for what Wei Minwen doesn't say.

Zhang Xing nodded, "I'm fine, it's just a false alarm." ”

While the two were talking, Yun Jinlan also came. She knew a little more than Fu Xianglian. The two accompanied Zhang Xing to talk. Yun Jinlan saw that Zhang Xing's face was not very good, and he didn't stay long, so he took Fu Xianglian and left.

Zhang Xing accompanied Li Xi to solve the nine links for a while, Xia Zhi took the medicine, Zhang Xing drank the medicine, and saw that her son was looking at her very worriedly, so she couldn't help but kiss her, and said, "My mother is fine, my mother is fine." ”

Li Xi hugged Zhang Xing's neck and said very seriously: "Brother Xi'er is good, don't be noisy." ”

It turned out that he was worried that he would be taken away. Zhang Xing nodded her son's little nose and said with a smile: "Yes, our Brother Xi is good, and my mother will not let people hold Brother Xi." ”

Li Xi grinned. After Zhang Xing took him to play for a while, he fell asleep and simply leaned on the collapse. Mother You saw that Zhang Xing was asleep and wanted to take Li Xi away. Li Xi shrank his little body into his mother's arms, looked at Mother You and said, "Brother Xi'er is good, don't be noisy." ”

Mother You couldn't help laughing, "What a little person." She took a thin quilt and put it on Zhang Xing's body, and sat next to her to sit down with needlework.
