Chapter 102: Grain and Grass Looted
Since Fu Qingyan and Fu Zichen led the troops to the battle, the life of the Fu Mansion has returned to calm, but under this calm, it is a little more depressing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Mo Lingyun's appetite is getting worse and worse, he has lost a lot of weight, and his previous clothes can't hold it up.
Fu Yanxi knew that this was caused by Mo Lingyun's excessive worry, so she would fix three meals a day in Qingwu Courtyard to accompany Mo Lingyun to eat, and watch her eat the already pitiful meal slowly.
"Mother, didn't you promise your father that you would take good care of yourself? Now that it's like this, my father came back and saw it, wouldn't he be scolding me. Fu Yanxi coquettishly persuaded Mo Lingyun to eat more.
Mo Lingyun waved his hand and said, "I really can't eat it." I don't know what's wrong, I can't eat these days. Although your father has traveled with your grandfather many times before, I have been waiting at home like this, but this time, why is my heart so awkward. ”
"Mother, you just love to think cranky, since Daddy has gone to war so many times, you should rest assured. And, there's an older brother, isn't there? Fu Yanxi said with a smile.
"Hmm. Maybe. ”
The mother and daughter were talking when they saw Green coming in from outside.
"Ma'am. Miss. "Green Will." The old lady said that she had something important to inform the lady. ”
"Something important?" Mo Lingyun frowned. "Then let's go to Qingfeng Garden." As he spoke, he had to stand up. After Fu Qingyan left, she really didn't want to see these people at all.
"No, ma'am," said Greenwill. "The old lady sent Mother Chen to pass the word."
Obviously said that there was something important, but only sent a servant to pass the word, and the old lady didn't really want to see them. Fu Yanxi was relieved.
In the Buddhist hall of Qingfeng Garden, only the old lady and Fu Qinglin knelt on the futon facing the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Qinglin, it's time for you to tell me the truth." The old lady spoke. "What do you ...... about that Mohs"
"Mother, do you want your son to be doomed?" Fu Qinglin interrupted.
"How could I.... Aren't you and me the only ones? The old lady broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"There are some things that my mother understands in her heart, so why ask me." Fu Qinglin avoided talking about him left and right.
"What's so good about her? So many years! When Fu Qingyan got married, I could see that such a water-based poplar woman is worth thinking about for so long and you can't forget! Hearing Fu Qinglin's acquiescence, the old lady suddenly became angry.
"So what, if it weren't for Fu Qingyan being born a few years earlier, all of this would have been mine! Isn't this very similar to you, mother? As long as I like it, no one can take it away! Fu Qinglin looked at the old lady coldly.
The old lady was excited by him: "You, what do you know? ”
"What I know is what I should know." Fu Qingyan said, paused and said: "What Fu Qingyan knows is also what he should know, so only when he dies can my mother be safe, and my career can be smooth sailing, otherwise ......"
"You!" The old lady sat on the ground, pointed at Fu Qinglin in horror, and was speechless.
"Mother only needs to follow what I said, just put the mother-in-law of the Wang family in the big house, and don't worry about the rest." Fu Qinglin said and threw away his sleeves.
After a long time, the old lady trembled and got up, knelt in front of the Bodhisattva, and turned the Buddha bead in his hand, "Amitabha." ”
In Qingwu Courtyard, Chen's mother has already left. Mo Lingyun and Fu Yanxi looked at the row of maids kneeling in front of them defensively and scrutinizingly.
"The slave has seen Mrs. Hou, eldest lady." And they all prostrate.
"Since the old lady cares about my body, let's stay." Mo Lingyun rubbed his aching temples. As soon as Fu Qingyan left, the old lady couldn't wait to stuff people into the big room. I'm afraid I'm fed up with the tight, airtight situation of the big house for 20 years.
At the beginning of March, the army had been on the march for almost half a month and should have reached the front. Fu Yanxi was locked up in the mansion, knowing nothing about everything outside, and was in a hurry and only got on fire.
It wasn't until a news spread throughout the capital overnight that Fu Yanxi finally learned a little bit about the war.
"You mean, there are rumors outside that the grain and grass transported to the front line has been robbed by bandits?" Yu Xuan, Fu Yanxi was very surprised when she heard the news from Zhihua.
"Yes. It was also spread all over the house, and I heard someone say that the army has no food and grass, and the fierce is more auspicious and less ......," Zhi Hua said unabashedly.
"Zhihua!" Ziqin glared at Zhihua fiercely on the side, telling her not to talk nonsense.
"Miss, don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, maybe someone has ulterior motives." Ziqin Road.
Fu Yanxi thought about it, the people who escorted the grain and grass were all elite grain transportation teams under the Ministry of War, how could they be robbed by some mountain bandits.
Fu Yanxi thought that this was just a rumor that could not be taken seriously, but he did not expect that two days later, Wu Jin, the secretary of the military department, was demoted to a civilian, and countless people witnessed him and the second young master of the Wu family being personally taken into the prison from the Wu Mansion by the Imperial Forest Army.
In this way, it undoubtedly proves that the rumors a few days ago are right, the grain and grass transported to the front line have been robbed, and the secretary of the military department cannot escape the blame. Fu Yanxi deeply hated the robbers who took advantage of the fire to rob in her heart, and added another layer of worry about the situation of her father and brother.
This incident caused a stir in the capital. The role of grain and grass in warfare can be almost decisive. But now that the grain and grass are gone, the people are muttering in their hearts, does Dawei still have any hope of winning the war? For a time, the Wu family in the capital became the target of the people, and even a three-year-old child could scold the Wu family twice.
It's night, it's a prison.
A man in a black cloak hurried to the door of the prison, raised his hand, and showed a token. The guards of the prison did not dare to stop him, and respectfully let him in.
"Lord Wu." The man in black walked to the door of the innermost cell and whispered.
The middle-aged man sitting against the wall in the cell looked up in shock, and calmed down when he saw the face of the person who came. Your Excellency did not hesitate to deign to come here, and Wu was flattered. It's a pity, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”
The person who came was not angry but laughed: "Lord Wu said this, I understand a little." The matter of Jiangnan, it seems that Lord Wu knows the reason. ”
Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then sneered again: "So what, from me, you don't want to get anything." ”
"I guess someone must have promised Lord Wu that as long as you keep your mouth shut, they will save your life." The tone of the visitor was a little playful. "However, Lord Wu doesn't want to think about it, where are the bandits and bandits in such a flat place as Hengxiang?"
