Chapter 147: My cousin is here
“…… Uncle, outside, something happened to the salt farm, right? ”
After hesitating, Gu Jialuo still asked this question that made her linger, "Also, you and the angel went out of the city during the day, didn't anything unusual happen, right?" ”
When he talked about his daughters, Qi Jinzhi couldn't help but have a light smile on his face, but when he heard Gu Jialuo mention it, his smile faded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After thinking about it, Qi Jinzhi still told Gu Jialuo the truth: "That chamberlain is about to go to the southwest hill when he opens his mouth, I expect that it may be that Jinyiwei is aware of the existence of the salt farm, but because there are many guards around, they are inconvenient to be too public, so they did not investigate in person, and the chamberlain came forward instead." ”
Gu Jialuo saw that Qi Jinzhi's face was not very good, and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, "Could it be the salt farm?" ”
Thinking of the people who inexplicably appeared outside the mansion gate during the day, Gu Jialuo seemed to think of something, and asked eagerly: "What happened to those craftsmen?" ”
It's one thing for someone to incite the people to make trouble, but it's another thing if something happens to the people who work for their husbands and wives.
Gu Jialuo didn't want anyone to have an accident, and he didn't want Qi Jinzhi to be implicated because of this.
Qi Jin's face sank like water, and it was obvious that what he was going to say next was not an easy topic. But he still thoughtfully tucked the quilt for Gu Jialuo, and said in a low voice: "In order to prevent the salt field from being manipulated, I secretly ordered Qi Dayong to rush over to check, and I led the chamberlain and his party to Xiaoxi Mountain. When Qi Dayong arrived at the salt field, he found ......"
Qi Jinzhi slowly told what happened during the day.
The more Gu Jialuo listened, the worse his face became, and when he heard the end, he actually felt a chill down his spine, "The person behind it has such a big hand, and in less than a day's effort, he quietly occupied our salt farm, and made hundreds of craftsmen disappear out of thin air?" ”
What Gu Jialuo couldn't tolerate the most was that the other party had done this on the land of Umeng.
That is to say, although Qi Jinzhi has gained great prestige in Wumeng, he has not yet reached the point of complete control.
The salt field on the front foot was 'subverted' and planted, and a large group of women and children ran outside the city gate of the back foot to shout grievances...... Such a big battle was placed under the noses of Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo.
What's even more hateful is that Gu Jialuo was also tricked, almost killing himself with one corpse and three lives.
"yes, it's a big deal."
Qi Jinzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I also stretched out my hand to the Qi family—"
Gu Jialuo was stunned, and suddenly said 'ah', his face was full of surprise: "I remember, those two maids are very wrong." Could it be—"
His eyes fell on Qi Jinzhi's face, and Gu Jialuo couldn't tell what mood he was in for a while.
Qi Jinzhi nodded, and then immediately comforted: "Speaking of which, I am careless, the subordinates served by the rear government are all carefully selected by us, only those two maids, alas, I thought that my mother would be completely 'clean' after cleaning up a few times, but I didn't want to mix in the slut." ”
Gu Jialuo pulled out a bitter smile, and said with guilt and self-blame: "No, it's all my fault." Maybe it's been so smooth these days that I forgot about it in a fit of pride, and I didn't even see this rough trick, and I stupidly fell for it. ”
Qi Jinzhi squirmed his lower lip, and was about to continue to persuade.
Gu Jialuo continued to blame herself: "Fortunately, uncle, you came back in time, fortunately, the children are fine, otherwise, otherwise I would really die!" ”
Qi Jinzhi chuckled in his heart, and secretly said 'Fortunately', if he hadn't concealed that incident, Ah Luo would have been ashamed, remorseful and hateful at this time and wanted to die immediately, right?!
Qi Jinzhi didn't want Gu Jialuo to dwell on this issue, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "That person must have a helper in such a big battle in Wumeng." Arrow, do you think it's possible that those families did it? ”
Wumeng is located in a remote area, and the Qi family has been operating in the southwest for decades, but they have not been able to control this land, let alone a hidden mastermind.
When Gu Jialuo heard this, his attention was really diverted, he frowned and thought about it, and nodded: "It's possible." Those few families temporarily succumbed to the uncle's prestige, but they may not be convinced of the uncle in their bones-"
As he spoke, Gu Jialuo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Wait, I remember that Ah Zhuo once said that when the He family came to Wumeng to 'cooperate' with me, there were two or three wealthy families who also quietly contacted the He family. ”
She paused for a moment, and said to Qi Jinzhi in an inquiring tone: "Uncle, do you say that it is possible that those two or three families also planted warbler millet seeds, but they were used by the He family or the people behind her as a threat, coerced or lured them to frame us together with the He family?" ”
Qi Jinzhi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gu Jialuo with approval: "Ah Luo, your guess is very likely." Yes, yes, that's a clue. I'm going to let people focus on the two families. ”
Saying that, Qi Jinzhi got up directly, walked out of the upper room in a hurry, stood under the porch and shouted: "Qi Dayong, Liu Hu!" ”
The loud voice was very clear in the quiet night, Gu Jialuo, who was in the bedroom, could hear it clearly, she couldn't help but hook her lips, she could help the uncle, it was good!
Breathing a sigh of relief, Gu Jialuo said to Ziwei: "Let the nurse bring the child to me to see." ”
From the time the child landed to the present, Gu Jialuo has not been able to really take a look, she has a tight heart, although Ziwei and they all said that the child is very good, and Mother Qu and Mother Feng take care of it personally, but she has not seen it with her own eyes, so she has never been able to put her mind at ease.
Ziwei said yes and withdrew.
A short time later, two clean, chubby young women entered, each holding a swaddling cloth in their hands.
In the big red muddy swaddling clothes, two red and wrinkled little babies were sleeping sweetly.
"Slave maid Jin, I've seen the big grandmother!" The woman who was fortunate in her arms bowed respectfully.
"Slave Li, meet grandma!" This is the woman holding Ah Fu.
Gu Jialuo raised his hand and motioned for them to get up.
After Jin and Li got up, they turned sideways and showed the child in their arms to Gu Jialuo.
Gu Jialuo's eager eyes kept turning around the two children, if it weren't for the two children already asleep, she really wanted to take them into her arms and get closer.
The size and size of the two children are quite different, so much so that Gu Jialuo can tell who is older and who is smaller at a glance.
"This is the eldest sister, right?"
Gu Jialuo's fingers gently caressed the eldest daughter's tender little face, and the warmth in his eyes could not be dissolved.
Jin hurriedly responded: "It's still the eldest grandmother and mother and daughter, and they actually recognized the eldest lady and the second miss at a glance." ”
Li also smiled and agreed, "Yes, yes." When he spoke, he didn't forget to drag Ah Fu in his arms up.
Gu Jialuo carefully touched the slightly thin cheek of his second daughter, looking at her appearance of being a little younger than her sister, a feeling of guilt welled up in his heart - it's all my fault, if it weren't for my dizzy brain and I gave birth prematurely, the second girl would not be so sick and weak.
The twins are smaller than the singleton children, not to mention that these two children are still premature babies, even if they look at the healthy sister, they are also small ones, as for the younger sister, they are as thin as kittens, Gu Jialuo felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he saw it.
Closing his eyes and suppressing the remorse and apology rolling in his chest, Gu Jialuo asked directly, "Are the two children okay?" How many times did you cry? Have you ever breastfed them? ”
Mother Jin and Mother Li exchanged glances, and then the articulate Mother Jin replied: "So that the eldest grandmother knows that the imperial doctor and the medical girl have diagnosed the pulse of the eldest lady and the second miss, and everything is fine, and the second lady is slightly congenitally deficient, but she can be recuperated by a good life and recuperation the day after tomorrow." ”
Gu Jialuo bowed slightly, what he said was the same as what Qi Jinzhi said.
Mother Jin glanced at Gu Jialuo's face, and when she saw that her face was soft, she continued: "The two little ladies are extremely well-behaved children, except for one cry when they fell into a fetus, they cried once half an hour ago. The slaves and maids fed the little lady some milk, and the little lady was just born, and she had a small appetite, and she was full after eating three or four bites. By the way, just now, the little ladies have successfully solved. The slave and the medicine maid have seen it, and everything is normal. ”
"That's good," Gu Jialuo knew that she was a steady and thoughtful person when he heard Mother Jin's words, and although Mother Li didn't talk much, she looked thoughtful and neat, and she was obviously a reliable person.
The daughters are handed over to them, and there are two mothers of Qu and Feng around to take care of them, so there should be no problem.
In fact, the four nurses such as Jin and Li were all brought by Xiao Shijiu, and like those stable women, they were all carefully selected by Master Miaozhen.
Especially the four nursing mothers, Master Miaozhen began to choose after learning that Gu Jialuo was pregnant, and after the selection, they were placed in Jingyue Nunnery, and the nutritious but non-conscientious meals were distributed by special personnel.
After being raised like this for several months, after being sent to the southwest, he continued to follow the recipe and was watched by a special person (that is, Xiao Shijiu) to prevent the possibility of someone assassinating the child through the nursing mother.
To say that he is not afraid of punishment, compared with the few maids and daughters-in-law brought by Qu's mother, Gu Jialuo trusted Xiao Shijiu and his party more.
The facts have also proved that Gu Jialuo's choice is not unfounded, the Qi family, and sure enough, there are infiltrated spies!
Gu Jialuo secretly kept this in mind, looked at the two daughters again and again, and repeatedly told the two nursing mothers to take care of them, and then ordered them to go down to rest.
Looking at the backs of the nurses, Gu Jialuo sighed silently, she was still a little unwell now, and when she was better, she would definitely move the children to her side.
When Qi Jinzhi finished ordering things and returned to the bedroom, he happened to see Gu Jialuo's stunned expression, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
Gu Jialuo shook his head, "No, I just looked at the two girls, Ah Fu and Ah Fu looked at it, alas, they all blame me, causing them to suffer a big sin with me!" ”
Qi Jinzhi sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to cover Gu Jialuo's mouth, and said seriously: "Ah Luo, something has happened, no matter how much you say, it won't help." Instead of dwelling on these, it is better to think about how to raise them in the future. ”
Gu Jialuo: She understands the truth of "......", but-
Qi Jinzhi said again: "Ah Luo, you have always been the most reasonable and open-minded person, how did you become so sharp this time?" Oh, according to me, it's important to prepare the girls for the third and full moon. ”
Speaking of this topic, Qi Jinzhi remembered something and discussed with Gu Jialuo: "Ah Luo, you have suffered a big crime in this birth, and the imperial doctor and the medicine woman have said that you need to have a good life and recuperate. I think you'd better do it for two months. ”
Gu Jialuo nodded slowly, her body knew that her current condition really needed to be recuperated.
In addition, her current figure is seriously out of shape, and Gu Jialuo doesn't want to show her head until she recovers.
Qi Jinzhi continued: "We are alone outside, and there is no elder to help support us, so it is inevitable that there will be omissions. So, when the third moon is washed and the full moon is over, I want to ask my aunt to come over and help, you see? ”
Gu Jialuo thought for a while, "Uncle is thoughtful, in the southwest, uncle and aunt are our closest elders, so it is only appropriate to ask them to help." ”
Don't look at the gap between Qi Jinzhi and Ma Hanze in private, but externally, they are still the closest uncle and nephew.
There was an accident in Qi Jin's house, and there was an urgent need for suitable female elders to sit in charge, and Ma Hanze's wife Chu was the best candidate. If Qi Jinzhi and his wife bypass the Ma family, then it won't be long before rumors of discord between Ma Hanze and Qi Jinzhi's uncle and nephew will spread throughout the southwest.
What's more, some people will secretly wonder, is it that the Ma family and the Qi family have a dirty relationship, and the two families have turned against each other? actually let Ma Hanze and Qi Jinzhi even ignore the least face-saving matter?
Therefore, in public and private, in sentiment and reason, Qi Jinzhi had to invite the Chu family to come to Wumeng to help.
Qi Jinzhi's only worry is Gu Jialuo, after all, the last time he went to Shuixi, the Chu family was not kind to Gu Jialuo, and even connived at Chu Yu's girl to speak ill of Gu Jialuo, Gu Jialuo was inevitably a little dissatisfied with the Chu family.
Qi Jinzhi invited the Chu family to come to Wumeng, firstly, to make a gesture, and secondly, and the most important reason, to help Gu Jialuo reduce his burden. If Gu Jialuo didn't like the Chu family, Qi Jinzhi would rather trouble than let the Chu family come to block Gu Jialuo.
Hearing Gu Jialuo say this, Qi Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Since Ah Luo also thinks it's good, then I'll write a letter to my uncle and aunt?!" ”
Gu Jialuo nodded, and suddenly said again: "Oh, by the way, uncle help me write a letter to Ah Zhuo too." ”
Qi Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he asked, "What do you need to write?" ”
Gu Jialuo hooked the corners of his lips and showed a sneer: "Naturally, it's 'Annunciation'." Ah Zhuo is a smart person, and she is deaf and clear-sighted, and she can understand without me being too thorough. "Maybe I'll get some useful clues from Azhuo.
Qi Jinzhi also thought of this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll write a letter early tomorrow morning, and then order someone to send it to Shuixi quickly!" ”
Qi Jinzhi's work efficiency is really high.
I wrote a letter early the next morning, and immediately asked Pegasus to send it to Shuixi, and I received a reply at noon.
In the evening, the Chu family rushed to Wumeng with their daughters, nieces and maids.
What surprised Qi Jinzhi and his wife the most was that the Chu family also brought an unexpected guest-
"Chu Pei has seen his cousin and sister-in-law!"
