Chapter 199: Husband and wife meet
On a barren mountain somewhere in Liaodan, a group of people were stopping there for lunch, and their lunch was very simple, that is, they took out the dry food they brought with them and roasted them on a fire made of dried branches. The water in the bladder had long been frozen into ice, and they could not drink it, so they had to grab a handful of snow and swallow it with the hot dry food in their stomachs.
Nangong Yi also stood in front of the fire, bowed his head and baked a cake in his hand, in three months, he had reduced a lot, his original white face as jade had now turned into a dark wheat color, the green whiskers on the cheeks were faintly visible, and the robes and big clothes on his body were also wrinkled, and he had not changed for many days, and he was not at all like the brocade robe he used to be, and he did not look like a fairy who was not stained with dust.
The biscuits in his hand were all burnt, but for him, there was no difference between scones and roasted meat.
Ever since he knew that she had been taken captive to Liaodan, his heart seemed to be on fire, and he couldn't wait to fly to her side all at once and save her from fire and water. Because of his anxiety, his sense of taste was almost gone, and even the cold wind from the north pumped on his body, and he couldn't feel cold or pain.
There was only one thought in his heart, hurry up to Liaodan, hurry up to save her, and when he thought of the grievances she might receive, his heart hurt like being poked by a knife!
These days, he has been traveling day and night, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent almost on horseback, and he can't remember how many horses have died of exhaustion, only the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, and the "snapping" sound of whipping.
"Master, in three days, we will be able to reach Shengjing!" Chasing Feng took the map, stood beside Nangong Yi, and solemnly reported to him.
Nangong Yi frowned: "Three days, it's too long, who knows what will happen in three days?" Shrink to two days. β
Chasing the wind froze for a moment, and then said, "Yes!" β
Although the master's requirements are a bit harsh, as hidden guards, they have been instilled with the concept of lifelong loyalty to the master since childhood, and it is their duty to obey the master's orders, regardless of whether the master's orders are reasonable or not, they just obey.
They are born for their master, and they can die for their master at any time, for whom the master is their sun, the ruler of their lives.
Seeing that the master was anxious and emaciated for the queen, they were very heartbroken, so although they slept in the open and ran day and night along the way, they had no complaints, they just wanted to arrive in Liaodan as soon as possible, and try their best to rescue the queen and make the master feel at ease.
Immediately, he put away the map and ordered the hidden guards who came with him: "Eat quickly, set off as soon as you finish eating, and you will be in a hurry tonight, and you can't rest until you arrive!" β
When the guards heard this, they hurriedly put the scones in their hands to the fire again, and when they were a little softer, they hurriedly stuffed them into their mouths. After eating the cake quickly, everyone got on their horses, threw up their whips, and galloped forward.
The horses carried them and galloped on the official road of Liaodan, and the horses' hooves splashed the snow foam on the ground, blurring the eyes of those behind them. The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and even the breath turns into a cloud of white mist. The wind in the north is very hard, and it hurts to cut the bones, Nangong Yi runs in the front, and he is numb to the cold wind on his body and face, these days, he has been frozen and lost his pain nerves, and sometimes, he can't even feel it when he is hungry and sleepy.
The group was galloping on horseback, and suddenly, a crisp birdsong sounded overhead. Then, the red-billed green parrot swooped down like an arrow, circled in front of Nangong Yi, and landed on his horse.
"Phewβ"
Nangong Yi restrained the horse, looked at the bird that landed on the horse's mane in surprise, and raised his hand to signal his subordinates to pause.
The guards all stopped, looking at their masters in surprise. But he carefully picked up the green parrot from his horse, and untied a letter from its tiny leg.
The letter unfolded, and so did the master's frowning brow, and he looked at the letter with a look of joy.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Observing the joy of his master, Zhao Qiu couldn't help but step forward and ask.
Nangong Yi read the letter again, and his smile bloomed more and more, as if the haze of many days suddenly turned into a beautiful wind and sunshine, and the sky was sunny after the rain.
"The queen has already saved herself, and there is no need for us to go over and save her."
There was a bit of irrepressible excitement in the man's voice: "You can find a nearby town to eat, and wait for the queen to come to us tomorrow!" β
A hidden guard said worriedly: "Master, can the queen find us?" β
Nangong Yi looked at the parrot that jumped on his shoulder, smiled, and said firmly: "Yes!" β
So, with a happy mood, everyone returned more than 20 miles by the same route, found a small town that they passed by on the way, and stayed in the only inn in the town.
Because he had no worries in his heart, Nangong Yi took everyone to eat and drink happily, asked the store to prepare bath water, took a comfortable bath, went to bed early, and waited for his daughter-in-law to come to him.
Early the next morning, Nangong Yi woke up early, he got dressed and walked outside the door, but he didn't see his daughter-in-law, but he saw that it was already snowing outside.
The snow fell heavily, and the white expanse between the heaven and the earth, and the snowflakes that fluttered one after another, fell from the sky, like beautiful jade-colored butterflies, like dancing and drunk; like a blown dandelion; It seems to be flying. The town was surrounded by white tents, and immediately became covered in snow.
Nangong Yi was in a good mood, standing outside to enjoy the snow while waiting for his daughter-in-law to come.
However, waiting left and right, I didn't see her coming, the sky was already bright, she wouldn't ride a tiger on the street in broad daylight, probably, she wouldn't come today.
Thinking of this, he was a little disappointed, lonely back to his room, not seen for many days, he thought of her heart hurt, he thought that he could see her today, he could solve the lovesickness, it seems, this hope has been disappointed......
Missed......
was depressed, Xiao Er's voice came in: "Guest officer, the charcoal basin is ready, will I send it to you?" "The conditions of the town are limited, there are no heating facilities such as stoves and fire walls in the inn, only a fire kang, which cannot be burned too hot, so as not to burn it when sleeping at night, so it can only be heated by the guests in a charcoal basin, of course, the rooms with charcoal basins have to be charged separately......
"Hmm!"
Nangong Yi agreed, his tone was depressed, at this time, he was looking at the fluttering snowflakes outside the window, wondering when his daughter-in-law would come to see him.
"Squeak", the door was pushed open, Wangwang's charcoal fire was sent in, the charcoal fire burned very vigorously, and without Nangong Yi turning around, he felt the temperature of the charcoal fire, and also felt a faint ...... Fragrance!
A familiar scent? The scent of her?
Nangong Yi turned around violently, but saw that his daughter-in-law, who had been thinking about it day and night, was standing behind him with a charcoal basin, and looked at him with a smile: "Guest officer, not only is the charcoal basin caged, but the small one has also made you a table of vegetables, do you want to use it now?" β
"Vier!"
Nangong Yi was pleasantly surprised and strode towards her.
"Hey! Beware of the heat! β
Cai Wei Hua took two steps back, carefully put the charcoal pot aside, and before she could get up, the man had already rushed over and pulled her into his arms.
Her nose hit his solid, warm chest, and before she could rub it, the sound of him gnashing his teeth could already be heard from above.
"You heartless little thing, say, where have you been all these months? Why did you lie to me and say that I went to Lingbei, do you know how worried I was......"
The man complained bitterly, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, but although he was ruthless in his heart, he was reluctant to clean her up, so he had to strongly condemn her in words for deceiving him and taking risks alone.
Cai Wei knew that he would be like this, so after arriving here early in the morning, she didn't dare to come to see him immediately, but hid in the space and made him a table of delicious food with her heart to atone for her guilt.
Hearing the man's nagging, like a wronged resentful woman, she raised her head weakly, opened a smile, and said flatteringly: "It's better to eat first, and when you are full, you will have the strength to scold me, right?" β
The man snorted: "Don't interrupt, I just don't eat or drink, and I can still scold you for three days and three nights!" β
Cai Wei's face fell: "Don't, people didn't mean it..." β
"How dare you say that?"
The man snorted, like a parent reprimanding a child: "Why do you want to hide it from me when you go to kill Jiya, do you know how powerful Jiya is, in case you fold it in her hands, what will you let me do?" β
He couldn't go on anymore, and he couldn't imagine how painful he would be if something like this happened!
Seeing him so excited, Cai Wei felt guilty in her heart, she tightly pressed his strong and solid waist, clinging to his body like a plaster, and muttered: "Yi, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't do this again......"
"I won't give you a chance if you think so, and you don't want to go out again in the future!"
The man hadn't lost his breath yet, and his tone was still very bad, but his arms around her were getting tighter and tighter, and he was still used to burying his face in her neck socket, and sniffing her greedily.
Cai Wei was strangled by him and couldn't breathe, and hurriedly shouted: "Yi, you let go first, I have something to tell you!" β
The man refused to let go, but hugged him tighter and tighter as if he was punishing, Cai Wei was anxious, and said while pushing him: "You let go first, listen to me...... Hmmm......"
Her lips were sealed, and the man pinched her chin, tossing and turning between her lips and teeth, venting the thoughts, pain, anxiety, and torture that he had piled up in his heart during this time.
Cai Wei couldn't break free, and took advantage of his ventilation to say vaguely: "Hmm...... Child...... Sub ......"
Nangong Yizheng kissed unlovely, and when he heard the word 'child', he was excited, raised his head and said in astonishment: "What did you say?" β
Cai Wei, who was free, took two big breaths of free air before raising her head, glanced at the man meaningfully, and happily touched her lower abdomen!
"I say, kid!"
Nangong Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what she was talking about, he grabbed her shoulder excitedly, and asked carefully: "Wei'er, you mean, you are pregnant?" Do we have children? Isn't that what it means? β
Cai Wei smiled and nodded slightly, and a halo of happiness crossed her fair cheeks: "Hmm! β
A simple "um" completely freed her from the man's resentment, and when she heard Cai Wei admit that she was pregnant, the man suddenly forgot the anxiety and pain he had suffered these days, and even forgot the suffering and freezing during this time.
"Vier, come on, sit down...... Tired or not, cold or cold.... β
He held her carefully, as if she were a fragile treasure, and even looked at her carefully, as if he was afraid of seeing her badly.
Cai Wei got on the kang with his support, sat on the cushion of the kang head, and was covered by him with his own big hat. Cai Wei glanced at the man with a smile and said, "Look at your carefulness, the child has been more than three months old, and the fetal gas has been stabilized, how can you make such a fuss and scorpion sting?" β
Nangong Yi said with a serious face: "Be careful to travel the 10,000-year-old boat, it is about our children, the future of our Great Jin Kingdom, it is always not wrong to be careful..." β
While talking, Xiao Er knocked on the door again and asked if he needed to set the meal. Those hidden guards have already eaten, and they have eaten very richly, only Nangong Yi has not eaten it.
Without waiting for Nangong Yi to answer, Cai Wei hurriedly shouted outside the door: "No need, he won't eat, he's not hungry!" After shouting, he said to Nangong Yi with a smile: "I made you something delicious, you wait." β
After speaking, he used his mind to get out the few things he had eaten in the space in the morning one by one.
Got it out. It was placed on the kang table of the kang head.
A plate of pheasant stewed mushrooms, a plate of vegetarian fried water spinach, a plate of butter fried fish, a bowl of egg custard, a plate of watermelon mixed with frosting, plus two bowls of steamed white stem rice with freshly harvested rice, fragrant, hot, filled a kang table.
Although they are all home-cooked meals, it is already a luxury to have such delicious food in this remote town.
Nangong Yi looked at these fragrant meals, and said distressedly: "You are pregnant, you shouldn't have worked so hard, besides, just eat some porridge and steamed buns in the morning, why bother to make such a big table!" β
Of course, Cai Wei will not say that she is weak-hearted, because she is afraid that the man will punish her, so she makes a table of meals to make up for it, and between husband and wife, occasionally telling a little white lie will help enhance the relationship between husband and wife.
She took out a jar of fruit wine, poured it for Nangong Yi, handed it over with both hands, and said affectionately: "What I do is what a wife should do, don't worry, I can't be tired of a meal, but you, the days when I am not there, make you worried, for me, you have traveled so far to rescue me, Yi, I am really moved, although I don't need you to save me, but, I want to thank you, really.... β
Nangong Yi took the wine glass, drank it all, looked at Cai Wei and said solemnly: "Cai Wei, in my heart, the two of us are not separated from each other, saving you is something I am willing to do and must do, say thank you to me, if you really appreciate me, please believe me, don't face anything alone, let alone hide it from me, no matter what happens, remember to sue your man, let your man solve it, or the two of us face it together, solve it together, you can do this, That's the biggest reward for me! β
This was his summary of her disappearance, and since she was pregnant, the methods he had thought of to punish her were useless, so he had to avoid the serious and give up.
Cai Wei understood that since the man said so, this time it would be regarded as a flip, she was both grateful and ashamed in her heart, she pursed her lips, lowered her head and whispered, "I know!" It will never be like this again......"
After eating, Cai Wei put the rest of the food into the space and lay down on the hot kang with Nangong Yi. After running around all night last night, after eating and drinking at this time, tiredness came up, and Nangong Yi was reluctant to part with her. He also lay down with her, carefully hugged her, and watched her fall asleep......
The two of them are tender and sweet, like glue, but they don't know that the distant court of the Great Jin Kingdom is experiencing a huge turmoil that turns the world upside down.
Yesterday in the early dynasty, Li Kaifeng, the general who protected the country, suddenly revealed that the emperor on the dragon chair was fake and an impostor, which caused the shock of the Manchu civil and military forces.
Shocked, the officials strongly demanded a thorough investigation of the matter, as a result, the fake emperor was exposed, and the ministers were furious, and they jointly put the Duke of Li Guo in prison for the crime of rebellion, and the general of the protector led troops to surround the palace in the name of looking for the emperor and queen. claimed that if the emperor could not be found within three days, he would be sentenced to death for the crime of rebellion, including the Empress Dowager Mo and Princess Chaoyue, the daughter of the Empress Dowager Mo, who was born in the Liguo Mansion.
The Emperor Taishang was also imprisoned, because the general said that the current Emperor Taishang is also fake, and he is a substitute for the Duke of Li Guogong to rebel, and even the concubines and princesses in the palace are also under house arrest, and the emperor and queen have disappeared mysteriously, and no one in the palace can get out of the matter, so before the emperor and queen are found, anyone is suspicious.
Although Mu Mansion is fine for the time being, hearing that the emperor and queen are missing, Mu Zhongqing and his wife are both worried and distressed; Especially Fei'er, who was worried about her sister and brother-in-law, and felt sorry for Mo Ziqi, she couldn't help but feel soft and sad, and she was afraid that her mother would see her heart and be anxious, so she could only hide and cry secretly......
In the days when Cai Wei was no longer there, the women's academy presided over by the Hanlin Academy had been opened, and most of the daughters of officials above the third rank in the court went to study at the academy.
Cai Wei is the closest person he is in the world, if she has any mistakes, he will really be alone in this world!
β¦β¦
The wind is surging in Beijing, and the rainstorm is coming, but Cai Wei and Nangong Yi are still soaked in the honey pot unconsciously, and they are so sweet that they are greasy.
At noon, Cai Wei woke up in the arms of a man, and when she woke up, the man was looking at her with those charming eyes, and when she saw that she was awake, the man's sexy thin lips bent up, and he said dotingly: "Awake?" Have you had enough sleep? Hungry or not? What do you want to eat? I'll have someone do it for you. β
Cai Wei arched into his arms and rubbed it, with the full body of bed gas, hooked his neck soft and glutinous coquettishly said: "I will sleep after eating in the morning, and I will eat again when I wake up at this time, do you plan to raise me as a pig?" β
Nangong Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Treat yourself as a pig?" Well, it's a good idea, and I'll be raised in a circle in the future! β
Hearing this, Cai Wei stopped doing it, and dragging the man was a violent beating, "Nangong Yi, you said in shock: "Good, don't fight, beware of flashing to the child...." β
In a word, Cai Wei woke up like a dream, she hurriedly stopped, carefully touched her stomach and said: "Baby, my mother forgot about it just now, I didn't mean to move, don't you lose your temper with your mother, your mother won't be like this in the future......"
Nangong Yi looked at her cautious appearance, unconsciously got up, and said, "The child is still a fetus, what do you say to him, even if you say it, he can't hear what you are saying at all." β
Cai Wei glanced at him and said, "Why can't you hear it?" I'm in prenatal education, you know? β
After speaking, he muttered in his heart, "Old antique!" β
In her former world, prenatal education was a well-known thing, from ancient times to modern times, and has been sought after by pregnant women
Sought after, "Historical Records" said that King Wen of Zhou only became a generation of Ming monarchs because his mother Tairen was a woman with a "Duanyi Chengzhuang" and "only virtue". When she was pregnant with King Wen, because "her eyes did not look at evil, her ears did not listen to obscenity, and her mouth did not speak proudly", so that King Wen was "born to be a saint, too good to teach and know a hundred", and people praised "too Ren to be able to teach prenatally".
In modern times, the prenatal education methods of expectant mothers are even more varied, emerging in endlessly: music prenatal education, caressing prenatal education, touch and beat prenatal education, light prenatal education, language prenatal education, "Seddick" prenatal education, sports prenatal education, psychological prenatal education, diet prenatal education, etc., which are dazzling and dizzying.
Scientific practice has proved that prenatal education has too many benefits for children's growth and development, such as promoting the establishment of dendrites, axons, synapses and central nervous system pathways, making the brain more abundant in neural networks closely related to sensory, motor, thinking, memory and other functions, more agile in feeling and thinking, and more beneficial to the intellectual development of the fetus after birth.
However, he won't understand these modern scientific theories when he tells this antique senior, so Cai Wei doesn't plan to waste her lips and tongue to explain these to him, but when she returns to the palace, she must make a prenatal education plan to create a good growth space for her babies.
Nangong Yi really doesn't know what prenatal education is, and when she says the word prenatal education, she also feels fresh, and, through guΓ² literally, he also knows what prenatal education means, anyway, it is beneficial to the child, she wants prenatal education, so let her go to prenatal education......
In the evening, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei were ready to go to Da Jin, and they came out for many days, and the court has been supported by a substitute, I don't know what the current situation is, since Cai Wei has been found, he plans to go back quickly, so as not to go back late and cause some turmoil.
Nangong Yi said to Chasing the Wind and the Moon, took Cai Wei to ride the white-haired tiger, and quietly left the town of Liaodan and ran towards the Great Jin Kingdom by night.
Nangong Yi sat in front of Cai Wei to block the wind for her, afraid that she would freeze, and specially dressed her in four or five layers of cotton clothes, and wrapped a thick big wool robe outside, wrapped like a zongzi, round, Rao is like this, he is still worried, afraid that she will freeze.
This place is thousands of miles away from the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the white-haired tiger can't run overnight, so when it crosses the Kalun Mountain and runs to Qingxian, Cai Wei let it stop outside the best inn in Qingxian.
At this time, it was already the fifth watch, the sky was not yet dawn, and there was no one on the street, Nangong Yi took Cai Wei's hand, knocked on the door of the inn, and asked for an upper room to live in.
This inn Cai Wei once lived with Nangong Yi, when they were not together, she saw Saknu for the first time, and was bullied by Saknu, it was Nangong Yi who saved her, brought her and their family here, and lived here for several days!
This time, they lived in the same room where Cai Wei's family lived last time, and the room was as old as ever, with no shortage of fire kang and charcoal basin, and as soon as they entered it, they immediately felt a warm current rushing towards their faces, which made their frozen bodies immediately warm up a lot.
After running around all night, the first thing the two of them did should naturally be sleeping. But Cai Wei is now pregnant and wants to develop regular eating habits, so she endures her tiredness and orders Xiao Er to cook first, planning to eat before going to sleep.
Nangong Yi heard Cai Wei's order, glanced at Xiao Er again, and suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the kitchen?" I'll do it. β
He was afraid that the things outside would be unclean and eat her stomach, so he wanted to make it for his wife and children.
Xiao Er was embarrassed and said: "Guest officer, we have never had a guest here who wants to cook by himself, you are embarrassed!" Nangong Yi chuckled, took out a silver ingot from the bag, put it on the case, and said, "Are you still embarrassed now?" "No, no, don't be embarrassed..."
Xiao Er took the bare silver ingot, and smiled so much that his mouth was almost grinning to the heel of his ears, and his eyes were gone, he sleeved up the silver and went out quickly, as if he was afraid that Nangong Yi would regret it and ask for the silver back.
Nangong Yi helped Cai Wei take off layers of thick cotton clothes, poured her a cup of boiling hot tea, and then went out to cook.
After the man went out, Cai Wei entered the space and took a bath in the hot spring first, and then changed into light clothes and walked out of the space after relieving the fatigue on her body.
After a while, the man returned, but his hand was empty.
Cai Wei said strangely, "Huh? What about the breakfast you made? β
Nangong Yi said dejectedly: "I sent Xiao Er out to buy cooking utensils again, the cooking utensils in the inn kitchen are too dirty, and the grease on the pot is so thick!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and forefinger to gauge the thickness of the coin.
Cai Wei smiled helplessly and said, "It's really a son of a family, I don't even know this little bit of common sense, the food outside is made like this, how can there be anything clean?" As the saying goes, 'Out of sight, heart is pure.' If you investigate it seriously, I'm afraid that Jufu's back kitchen will not be clean! β
Nangong Yi glanced at Cai Wei's stomach and said, "In the future, let's not eat out, if you want to eat anything, I'll ask the imperial chef to cook it for you, if the imperial chef can't make it, I'll take the cook into the palace and let him make it for you!" β
Cai Wei smiled: "Okay, it's just that right now, we have to wait until Xiao Er buys back the cooking utensils and then installs the pot stove, I'm afraid that we will be starved a long time ago, I see, I'll do it." β
In the past, when she had breakfast, she always liked to eat some steamed buns, porridge, small pickles or something, but now that she has a baby, she wants to eat scientifically, and she says that she should eat like an emperor for breakfast, eat like a commoner for lunch, and eat like a beggar for dinner, but because she has three babies in her belly, she must eat more to supply the nutrients needed for the children's physical development, so she prepares every meal to eat well, eat seriously, and eat like an emperor until the children are born!
