In the past few days, there have been vague rumors in the town, saying that there is a fight in the north, Gu Sanniang is confined in the house, and I don't know these rumors.

Liu Wupo came back and told Gu Sanniang about this, Gu Sanniang was inevitably worried in her heart, Wushan is located in a remote area, the news has spread here, presumably this battle has been fought for some days, Shen Zhuo is in Xuzhou, just looking at him to take care of himself.

It didn't take long for Gu Sanniang to finally get out of confinement, followed by the Spring Festival, this year, because only the three of them were left with their mother and son, Shen Zhuo and Brother Yu were not at home, and the joy of the festival at home seemed to have faded a little.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Princess Jichang sent Youwang to send a lot of food, clothing, and other things, and all kinds of things were enough to put in half of the room, Gu Sanniang asked: "The princess must be very busy these days." ”

Youwang said yes in his mouth, and said: "The more this time of year, the princess has no leisure, but the princess is still worried about the eldest grandmother and her brothers and sisters, and specially asked me to bring a message to the eldest grandmother, saying that you can live in peace in Wushan, just when the situation is stable, the house will send someone to pick you up." ”

Gu Sanniang nodded silently, and she asked again: "I heard that there is a war in the north, what is the situation over there now?" ”

Although the capital is far away from the place where the war is fought, but there is Wang in the capital, the news is better in the end, he shook his head and sighed, and said: "Zuo but the common people are suffering, those Tartar soldiers ride fast horses, rob people and food and run, our horses can not compare to others, and when they chase over, the Tartar soldiers have already run outside the pass, fortunately, Jincheng is guarded by General Kou, and there is nothing to do for a while." ”

Gu Sanniang was also from a poor family, and she could best understand these pains, she was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Did your uncle come back?" ”

Youwang shook his head, and Gu Sanniang saw it, and her brows furrowed more and more.

After Youwang sent things, he returned to the capital, and in the blink of an eye, on Chinese New Year's Eve, from noon, the sky was sprinkled with snowflakes, and the grandmother Zhang took a leave of absence and wanted to go back to reunite with her family, Gu Sanniang agreed, not only paid her, but also sent a lot of things, but repeatedly told her to stay at home for a day or two before coming.

These days, the little brother is a little bad, since the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, he has been coughing non-stop, with phlegm in his throat, sometimes coughing so badly that he can't even breathe, Gu Sanniang is worried every time he sees it.

Not to mention Gu Sanniang, just on the side of the capital, in the first half month, the Chengxiang Mansion was still buying, sprinkling and sweeping, and the ancestors were busy, who knew that the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, Princess Jichang secretly took the Jiayuan County Lord out of Beijing.

Why did you leave Beijing at this time as the Jiang family? It turned out that since the death of Emperor Jingwen, in order to compete for the throne, the imperial throne is suspended, the surrounding subject countries are ready to move, there is a Changdi country in the north, the ancestors have been living on grass for generations, in this winter, the water and grass are exhausted, even heavy snow falls outside the pass, and the cattle, sheep and livestock of Changdi country have been killed and injured countless times, a month ago, the Changdi country frequently harassed the border people, and then it was even more inch-inch, and dared to impact the tiger prison of the Great Yuan country.

Garrisoned in the Tiger Prison is the garrison is the people of the An faction, who does not have the ability to lead the troops to fight, he led the troops to block for a few days, seeing the ferocity of the cavalry of the Changdi Kingdom, the garrison actually left the people to flee overnight, the Changdi Kingdom saw that it was weak and could be bullied, and the Great Yuan was fighting endlessly, and became more and more fearless, threatening to wave the army to the south, and a faction to capture the capital.

There was a war in the north, and everyone was shocked, and the cabinet sent people to meet the enemy on the one hand, and ordered Jiang Zhenyan to go to the front line on the other hand.

Jiang Zhenyan is stationed at the border all the year round, he is resourceful, brave and good at fighting, he was famous when he was a teenager, last year he was degraded by Emperor Jingwen again and again, and the few Tartar countries that had suffered defeat in his hands all clapped their hands and took advantage of it.

Seeing that Jiang Zhenyan was unwilling to go on the expedition, in the imperial court, the call for the emperor to quickly become higher and higher, but who would sit on the throne, the two sides were still arguing, at this time, the border passed the war again, this time it was Wusun Guo, everyone knows that the princess Jichang of Wusun State, the husband she married is Jiang Zhenyan, Wusun Country is anti-water, and Dayuan State, it is undoubtedly worse.

The invasion of Wusun Kingdom is very beneficial to the An family, this princess of Wusun Kingdom is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and if Wusun Country commits the following crimes, the Jiang family may be able to communicate with foreign countries, if not, why does Jiang Zhenyan know that the border is restless, but he still does not go into battle to kill the enemy?

There were endless quarrels in the court, intending to give Jiang Jia'an a charge of collaborating with the enemy, but she didn't want Princess Jichang to receive a secret report a few days ago, she immediately took the county lord of Jiayuan out of the capital, and hurried overnight, when she walked to the village not far from the ferry on the outskirts of Beijing, the wind and snow became more and more serious, Princess Jichang and others temporarily borrowed to live in a village house, Youwang took people to the ferry to inquire about the news, just waiting for the boat to arrive, they and their group, they went all the way south to Changyang, where is the territory of the Jiang family, and the officials stationed in several surrounding states and counties are all people sent by Jiang, Even if the An family knew that they were in Changyang, they were helpless.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, every family in the village is preparing to worship the gods and ancestors, Princess Jichang stands in front of the window, quietly looking at the ice and snow outside, and soon they will leave, Gu Sanniang stays in the Foggy Mountain, where it is quite peaceful, as long as the whereabouts are not exposed, no one can threaten her mother and son.

Just as she was pondering, the Wang family came in, she patted the snowflakes on her body, and said, "Princess, lunch is ready, please come over and eat." ”

Princess Jichang waved her hand, and she asked, "After rushing to the road in the middle of the night, is the county lord okay?" ”

Youwang's family replied: "The county lord has rested all morning, and the mother-in-law has sent her food over, but the county lord seems to be unaccustomed to the food here, and she has not moved anything to send her." ”

Princess Jichang's face was expressionless, she turned around and walked to the opposite room, when she entered the house, Lord Jiayuan was sitting in a wheelchair, she saw Princess Jichang coming in, just lifted her eyelids and looked at her.

The food sent was placed on the kang table, and the food of the Zhuang family was not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, neither exquisite nor delicious, and the county lord of Jiayuan seemed to be very unaccustomed to this humble rural place, she asked, "When will the ship come?" ”

This is also what Princess Jichang is worried about, the waves on the river are big, the ship is unstable, this wind and snow will not stop, if the time is delayed, only tomorrow morning, the cabinet will receive the war report of the Wusun country's prisoners, and they will definitely send someone to arrest them, and then it will be too late.

"Don't worry, the county lord has already gone to find out the news." Although Princess Jichang's heart was anxious, she said words of comfort to the county lord of Jiayuan.

After speaking, Princess Jichang said to Youwang's family again: "You go and ask the lord's family if there is anything else to eat, and if so, bring some to the county lord." ”

The Wang family went to the order, and the family where they stopped was considered good in Zhuangzi, but even so, the food and clothing could not be compared with the prime minister, and after a while, the Wang family brought a pot of cooked chicken soup, but the county lord of Jiayuan still didn't look at it.

She didn't eat, and Princess Jichang didn't persuade her anymore, and after a while, Youwang finally came back, and Princess Jichang immediately beckoned him to ask: "Has the boat arrived?" ”

Youwang went out for a run, his face was purple from the cold, he saw Princess Jichang, and said respectfully: "Princess, the boat has arrived." ”

Princess Jichang breathed a sigh of relief, this big family, if it was detained, there was no doubt that it would be the bargaining chip of the An family, but fortunately, the ship still arrived, and she immediately said to the Youwang family: "Tell me to go down, set off immediately, and there must be no further delay." ”

"Yes!" There is a Wang family to arrange matters by themselves.

They traveled lightly this time, they didn't bring any extra things, everything else was good, only the Jiayuan county lord was inconvenient, and it was inevitable to bring a few more servants to serve beside him, and the carriage was parked in the courtyard, Princess Jichang personally watched the mother-in-law carry the Jiayuan county lord into the carriage, and when she was about to get into the car, Youwang called her to stop.

Princess Jichang paused, and she asked, "What else is there to do?" ”

Youwang hesitated for a moment and said, "Princess, the little one thinks it's better to bring the eldest grandmother, and it's not appropriate to leave her alone in the north." ”

Princess Jichang knew that Shen Zhuo was guarding against the county lord of Jiayuan, so she hid Gu Sanniang, if she brought Gu Sanniang on this trip, Shen Zhuo might not be at ease.

"It's okay, the war can't reach the capital, except for a few of us, no one knows where the eldest grandmother is, she has just given birth, and the adults and children are bumpy with us, but they are affected."

Seeing this, Youwang didn't say much, and Princess Najichang turned around and got into the carriage.

When Princess Jichang got into the car, the county lord of Jiayuan, who closed her eyes and recuperated, opened her eyes, and she said lightly: "You and Youwang are talking about the Gu family?" ”

Princess Jichang didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and the county lord of Najiayuan looked at her coldly and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine Shen Zhuo and Gu Shi and the couple have poured into you, and they are facing them one by one. ”

Facing the ridicule of the county lord of Jiayuan, Princess Jichang said: "The county lord is serious, they are all a family, so they naturally have to support each other. ”

The county lord of Jiayuan sneered, she said: "Don't make people laugh, you treat them as a family, but do you know that they treat you as a family?" There is only one head of the house, and there is only one head of the house, and the * of the people is endless, until the world is calmed down, don't you still want to leave her to compete with you for the position of the head of the Jiang Mansion? ”

Listening to her words, Princess Jichang was inexplicably upset, if it weren't for her duties, she didn't care about the trivial chores of the inner house, and Gu Sanniang had a harmonious temperament and didn't like to worry about others, even if she handed over the Jiang Mansion to her, I was afraid that she would not take over.

Seeing that she was silent, the lord of Jiayuan County glanced at her and said, "The head of the Jiang family can only be Zhenyan, in this family, with me, there is no Shen Zhuo." ”

Princess Jichang looked at her and said lightly: "Master Jia, you are a good deal, let's wait until we escape." ”

The future is still unknown, and the first thing that Princess Jichang has in mind now is to take the county lord of Jiayuan back to Changyang as soon as possible.

The county lord of Jiayuan turned to smile, and she said: "That's it, the Hengzhu Gu family is dead, I want to see if in Shen Zhuo's heart, is the woman important, or the future is important." ”

Princess Jichang's face changed, and she said in a deep voice: "What does the county lord want to do?" 166 Reading Network
