Don't say anything...... Self-punishment plus a chapter for free.

------Off topic------

The day before there was a strong wind all night, yesterday the day was gray and gloomy, today it is inexplicably sunny, under the bright sun, the temperature is still not high, especially in the morning, the wind blows, the bones are cold. At this time, no one dared to lag behind, and the earliest one from the courtyard had been standing in the courtyard for half an hour, standing for a long time, and the cold of the morning, so that these pampered ladies were a little unbearable, and a few of them looked pale and crumbling.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, Qiu Chen was about to get up, An Rong turned back from outside, respectfully led Qiu Chen out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and folded three and two along the corridor in the palace, and came to the Qingning Palace behind the Qianqing Palace.

There was a table clock on the high table in the corner, Qiu Chen glanced at it, it was just two quarters of an hour, and there were indeed two quarters of an hour before the middle of the hour, so she breathed a sigh of relief and took the hot tea, but she only took a shallow sip and put it down, and she didn't dare to drink more.

"Madame, rest for a while, it's still early, take a little rest, and there will be no delay in passing over." An Lu led Qiu Chen to sit down on a prince's chair, and then a palace maid brought hot tea and snacks with her eyes down, and another palace maid brought a basin, a towel, soap, balm, etc., waiting for Qiu Chen to wash his hands, and then silently withdrew.

Although she really wanted to get a few books to read, Qiu Chen knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and she had entered the palace today to mourn, and she could not stay here for a long time.

Qiu Chen's gaze swept over the various treasures on Duobaoge, and then took a cursory look at the books on the bookcase. Under this sweep, I can't help but sigh secretly, it is worthy of the royal study, the number of books in the collection is not too much, but it is all-encompassing, rich and extensive, involving all kinds of encyclopedias, disciplines, agriculture, industry and commerce, and so on.

There is no warm kang near the window in the East Warm Pavilion, but there is a circle of Taishi chairs and square tables and square tables that meet guests, and there are cabinets on both sides of the east and west walls, but one is a bookcase, and the other cabinet is placed with all kinds of porcelain, glazed ware and glass, enamel ware, which should be a sample of imperial supplies made by the manufacturing office, or a sample of the retained things, all of which are exquisite and beautiful, and beautiful.

If the appearance and regulations of this place are similar to those of the Forbidden City's Heart Cultivation Palace, seeing the internal facilities, Qiu Chen couldn't help but shake his head, this place is far from the pattern of the Forbidden City Heart Cultivation Hall in his memory.

An Lu took Qiu Chen straight into the front hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the East Warm Pavilion.

The front hall and the back garden of the palace of the heart, the courtyard of the front hall is bright and open, the eaves corridor has not been built in front of the palace, but the window has taken the lead in using the glass inlay, it is a place second only to the Qianqing Palace in the palace. It was the first time Qiu Chen came here, so he couldn't help but slow down, looking at it as he walked, and at the same time, he was still comparing it with the Forbidden City Heart Cultivation Hall in his memory. After comparing it, Qiu Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly, the reason why the crossing colleague built the palace into the style of the Forbidden City, in addition to taking it, also represents the nostalgia and nostalgia for the modern era?

After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Chen smiled slightly, and walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall with An Ying.

Yang Jingyong had been working in the Heart Cultivation Hall before, and in a few years, any nails should be pulled out by him. The reason why Yang Jingyong dares to say this is that he must be able to operate like an iron bucket here. Speaking of all kinds of obscurity and darkness in the palace, Qiu Chen is really a little trembling every time she enters the palace, if she can have such a place that can be completely assured, it is undoubtedly something she can't refuse, Yang Jingyong's kindness She is very willing to accept it.

Before the words fell, An Lu followed closely and lowered his voice again to explain: "After all, our prince has just inherited the throne, and the situation in the palace is ...... Well, only this one, the prince can be completely assured. ”

Before she could ask, An Lu had already taken a step forward and explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, Madame, it's our prince's order to bring Madame here to settle down." ”

Slightly surprised, Qiu Chen frowned and looked back at An Rong.

Qiu Chen knew this, and also knew that Emperor Jingshun should be in the Qianqing Palace, and as a foreign woman, she should not enter the Qianqing Palace to mourn, but she should not come to the Heart Palace.

These situations are well known, but King Yong's enthusiasm for the manufacture of various utensils and the proximity to the craftsmen are very popular with many people. No one cared, and unconsciously, King Yong, who seemed to be addicted to kitsch and lewd skills, had moved his office to the side of the emperor's palace, which was not inferior to the previous palace of the imperial palace, and even closer to the emperor.

After staying in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a long time, Yang Jingyong, the King of Yong, gradually brought some document folds to the Heart Cultivation Hall to deal with, including Emperor Jingshun's arrangement of instructions, and also asked people to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to find this son...... Gradually, the Yangxin Palace gradually evolved from the study of Emperor Jingshun to the office of King Yong in the palace.

After Emperor Jingshun was old, King Yong's Yang Jingyong acted for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the manufacturing department was also under his unification.

Perhaps because the founding emperor was a colleague of the People's Republic of China, the structure of this imperial city is mostly the same as that of the Forbidden City in history. The only difference is that the emperor worked in the Qianqing Palace, and the sleeping palace where he rested and slept was also in the Qianqing Palace. The Palace of Nourishing Heart is where the books and study rooms are located, and Emperor Jingshun used to occasionally come here to read books in his spare time, or meet with the craftsmen of the manufacturing office to discuss the regulations, styles, colors and lusters of porcelain, glass, enamel and other utensils, as well as royal printing, etc., which is regarded as a place of pleasure and cultivation.

Qiu Chen helped Chengying and Hanguang, also with his head plain, wearing a cyan Zhai coat and transferring to a light sedan chair at the gate of the palace, and An Lu personally led him, all the way through the door and through the courtyard, and went straight to a palace gate, the light sedan car landed, Qiu Chen walked out of the sedan chair slowly, looked up, but saw a plaque hanging above the gate of the palace, with three words on it: Nourishing Heart Palace!

Inside and outside the once glorious and solemn palace, the palace gate, the main hall, and even all kinds of inner palace courtyard gates, Yongdao, all the door plaques and lanterns are all blinded, and all the inner servants and palace maids are also bald in mourning clothes, without the slightest embellishment.

happily took the knee pads, thanked him solemnly, and An Lu also accompanied Qiu Chen out of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, got into a carriage covered with white cloth, and walked slowly all the way to the palace.

This kind of little thing is not worth much even if it is mink, and it is rare to find this intimacy and care. The higher he went, the deeper An's experience became, more and more knots, and more and more people sent gold and silver to all kinds of jewelry treasures, but no one thought of making a pair of knee pads...... Not to mention that the emperor knelt in the past few days of mourning, these eunuchs are waiting in front of the emperor every day but standing all day long, and they all suffer from various leg diseases.

Qiu Chen was no longer reluctant, he responded with a smile, and naturally asked An Rong about some precautions and taboos, and while cleaning up, he took two new pairs of mink knee pads for An Rong: "One pair...... He was the most sad and tired of these days. The other pair is for your own use, you accompany him, and some are tired, so you must first take care of your body and bones. ”

"What Madame said is reasonable, but it is still up to the little one to send Madame into the palace, and the placement is complete, and it is not too late for the little one to go back and serve."

Listening to Qiu Chen's words, he was sincere and sincere, and did not feel proud because of the new emperor's different eyes, but was humble and kind, gentle and kind, every sentence was concerned about the new emperor, and every sentence also reflected the closeness with An Xin, and put his heart into his heart...... An Lu was naturally moved and moved, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement.

At the time of the change of the old and new dynasties, An Lu is also willing to accompany the new emperor in his heart, to avoid being robbed of joy is one, and sincerely thinking about the new emperor's body is the main thing, after all, he has served Yang Jingyong for more than ten years since he was a child, and the master and servant have deep feelings, and they have lived and died together several times, which is far from being comparable to the relationship between ordinary master and servant.

Under the fluttering of thoughts, Qiu Chen also implicitly told An Lu about the obstacles: "...... The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and it is a time when the whole country is paying attention, and we should think more about him...... In this way, you can bring me into the palace, and then you can assign a small chamberlain to me, if there is any need, a small chamberlain is enough. You still go back to the emperor, you are used to being by his side, at this time, he is the most tired and sad person, you should be in front of him, change to an unfamiliar and uncaring one! ”

She wants to appreciate Yang Jingyong's kindness, but how to do it is worth her careful consideration and grasp one of the degrees.

The first emperor has just made a big move, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and she is undoubtedly too ostentatious to be treated so favorably by being treated like a county lord with an unjustified name, past many princesses and concubines! Neither her character nor her code of conduct allowed her to do so. However, as the new emperor who has just ascended the throne and is about to become the ruler of a country, it may be the first edict to be issued, in which the weight of dissent and weight is far from comparable to ordinary holy decrees, such an edict, if she refuses, maybe Yang Jingyong will not turn his face on the spot, but there will always be unhappiness in his heart. For Yang Jingyong, who was still the prince at the beginning, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng's common attitude was casual on the surface and respectful on the inside, not to mention Yang Jingyong, who had changed his identity and was about to ascend the throne to become the king of a country, Qiu Chen naturally would not make a move against him.

With Anren by your side to take care of you, you are naturally not afraid of being too sad, and you can get the fastest and best care when you are hot, cold, thirsty, and hungry.

Of course, Yang Jingyong, as the new emperor who is about to succeed to the throne, is a matter of filial piety between father and son, and it is impossible for him to say some things too clearly. But the metaphor is explained very carefully, and Qiu Chen naturally understands that at this time, Yang Jingyong specially sent his personal attendant An Lu over, not only to send a letter to himself, but also to accompany and escort him, but also to be careful and careful, which made Qiu Chen inevitably moved, but also a little tricky.

While responding, he took Yang Jingyong's hand with both hands, unfolded it and swept it over, and quickly browsed it, but it was Yang Jingyong who ordered An Yuan to come over to appease Qiu Chen, don't worry. He also specially instructed that An Chen accompany Qiu Chen into the palace, and everything was taken care of by An Chen, in case Qiu Chen was too tired and injured his body.

"That's it!" Qiu Chen was completely relieved, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

"Madam, no matter when you are still in Anlin, you must not go outside." An Rong hurriedly bowed his hand and said, while stepping forward to support Qiu Chen to sit down, Qiu Chen was not polite, he sat on the main seat according to his will, and then, An Rong did not sit down, only respectfully took out a handwritten oracle from his sleeve, held it to Qiu Chen with both hands, and said in a low voice, "This is the prince's handwritten edict...... Before the first emperor's great trip, he announced the edict of succession in public, and passed the great treasure to our prince, cough cough, in fact, it should be called the emperor, but the prince said, the first emperor Daxing, he has no time to take care of him, everything will not be changed, and he will change it again after he ascends the throne! ”

"Anrim?" Qiu Chen couldn't help but blurt out in surprise, then he smiled and said apologetically, "Father-in-law An, don't blame!" ”

Since Anlu has become an envoy in the palace, the result is already self-evident.

The palace envoy came quickly, Qiu Chen had just walked into the big flower hall, and the palace envoy in plain clothes also arrived, Qiu Chen ordered to come in, and got up to greet him, seeing the people who hurriedly walked in, Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The person who came in was very young, but it was an acquaintance of hers, and it was An Rong who had been following Yongwang Yang Jingyong before.

Qiu Chen, who had already dressed according to the system, hurriedly ordered someone to invite in, and she also hurriedly took Mama Chen and Chengying Yuegui to Mu'en Courtyard to enter the flower hall to greet the envoys from the palace.

In the middle of the day, suddenly a chamberlain in the palace came to the door.

Getting up and moving, Qiu Chen saw a pair of thick knee pads on the table in a blink of an eye, a helpless smile was slightly hooked at the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and went into the clean room to freshen up.

Together, the two thick-soled soft shoes are more than an inch, and they can be used as cushions to sit and rest for a while, which can indeed be well kept out of the cool and moisture...... Of course, this kind of thing also has to be awakened, if it is seen, it may become an unpardonable crime!

Mama Chen had already given her a hint in her ear: "If you are tired of kneeling, Mrs. can rest with her shoes." ”

Qiu Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the thick-soled soft shoes on his feet, and nodded secretly. This time in the palace, I have to kneel for almost a day, and soft shoes are undoubtedly more comfortable. And the thick-bottomed ......

"It's been a minute." Mama Chen replied in a low voice, and while helping Qiu Chen to get off the kang, Chun Qiao stepped forward and half-knelt to put on Qiu Chen's shoes and socks.

"What time is it?" Qiu Chen asked vaguely as he got up.

This sleep was very heavy, and it seemed that as soon as I closed my eyes, I was woken up by Mama Chen.

Sighing, Qiu Chen fell asleep again in a daze.

As Mama Chen said, from dawn, she will continue to enter the palace to mourn, whether it is Mrs. Jingbei Hou or the county lord of Anning, she will mourn for 27 days. It's been nearly a month, and I have to go out early and return late every day, go to the palace to mourn, and cry on time, but I feel trembling when I think about it.

From the prince to the high-grade clan, the internal and external wives from the princess to the wives of the high-grade clan, all set up a few cases in front of the Qingning Palace, burning incense, kneeling and drinking, and mourning. The princes, uncles, and wives of officials all gathered outside the Cheng'an Gate and mourned in order. They must enter the palace on time every day, and under the leadership of the concubine's wife, they will mourn and mourn. The next day, the emperor's Zigong was enshrined in the Chongzheng Palace, and the princes and hundreds of officials cried day and night for three days. From the fourth day onwards, all the princes and officials stayed for the twenty-seventh day. After this, the crying comes once a day, and the soldiers and civilians are removed from mourning clothes. The official stopped music and marriage within 100 days; The military and civilians stopped marrying for a month, and stopped music for a hundred days. Within 100 days, the text will be transferred to the blue seal, and the instructions will be written with a blue pen. Slaughter is prohibited for forty-nine days. Since the beginning of the great mourning day in the capital, the temple and the temple each ring the bell 30,000 pestles. Yue Ri issued an edict at Chengtianmen, and the ministers were all plain clothes, kneeling three times and knocking nine times. After the announcement, mourn. On the day of the edict, the governor led his subordinates out of the suburbs to kneel and greet him, and bowed to the public office, and mourned after listening to the announcement, and served for 27 days. Military and civilian men and women everywhere served for 13 days.

The emperor died, and the whole country mourned.

A smile overflowed at the corner of Mama Chen's mouth, and she quickly took it away, nodded again and again, helped Qiu Chen to lie down, and then took the candlestick on the edge of the kang and retreated. In a moment, the lights in the room went out, and the darkness was restored, and the silence was restored. Only the faint sound of breathing outside the blue gauze cabinet let Qiu Chen know that Mama Chen should have made an exception to stay outside.

Qiu Chen didn't say much, silently took the hot soup handed by Mama Chen and drank it slowly. handed the empty lamp back to Mama Chen, and said, "Mama, don't be too tired, I'm afraid I can't take care of my family these days, and I have to take care of it!" ”

Halfway through speaking, Mama Chen suddenly stopped.

Mama Chen responded repeatedly, and as soon as she turned around, she brought Qiu Chen a warm and delicious Erren red date soup, "Madam, this is a stewed Erren red date soup, you can drink it, rest at ease, and rest again...... Starting early in the morning, I have to go into the palace to mourn, but it will be really hard for a while......"

Raising his hand, he rubbed his swollen and painful forehead slightly, Qiu Chen did not refuse, but only said in a low voice: "Mama, bring me a glass of warm water!" ”

"Madame, do you hear me? Don't be afraid...... It's still early, so if you go to sleep again, your mother-in-law will come in and wake you up when the hour comes. As she spoke, Mama Chen lifted the curtain on the side, leaned into half of her body, and whispered.

She replied lightly, and while sitting up, she picked up the little jacket next to the pillow and draped it over her body, "Mama, come in!" ”

"Madame!" Mama Chen's voice sounded outside the curtain, and Qiu Chen was not surprised that Mama Chen appeared at this moment.

Someone walked in with deliberately heavier steps, Qiu Chen blinked his eyes, slowly stroked his heart that was still beating wildly, took a few deep breaths, tried to calm himself down, and then said lightly: "Palm lamp!" ”

Regardless of the merits and demerits of the Invesco Emperor, who was known for his loyalty and benevolence, they all ended with his life. The era that belonged to the Invesco Emperor became a thing of the past at this moment, and the era that belonged to the new emperor was about to begin. It's just that so far, before getting accurate information, Qiu Chen is not sure who will take over the supreme emperor's throne!

Qiu Chen opened her eyes suddenly, her heart was pounding, making her a little flustered for a while, but her brain clearly made an accurate judgment at the first time - the Ninety-Five Venerable who had reigned for thirty years had finally come to the end of his life and died!

Not long after the third watch, suddenly, a heavy and vicissitudes of the bell broke the silence of the night, and also broke the hearty dreams of countless people.

Qiu Chen asked the three children to be brought to her room, and she personally guarded them and accompanied them to sleep.

At night, Qiu Chen, Mama Chen, Chengying, Yufeng and others have been working nervously for a long time after all, and they are physically and mentally tired.

Towards the evening, Qin Zheng sent someone to deliver the letter back again, he still had no time to go home, but seeing that it was Qin Yi who he sent back to deliver the letter, Qiu Chen would not believe it, knowing that Qin Zheng was safe and sound, she was no longer worried, and only asked people to take two changes of clothes inside and outside, together with shoes and socks, and hand them over to Qin Yi to bring over.

The nine gates of the capital were no longer closed, but they were heavily displayed, and the people entering and leaving were strictly checked. There are also soldiers and generals in bright clothes and armor on the streets, holding halberds to patrol back and forth, and the people of Beijing are particularly sensitive to changes in the political situation.

The capital outside the Jingbei Hou Mansion still maintains low atmospheric pressure.

Everyone in the Jingbei Hou Mansion was full of energy, and they were busy coming and going briskly, cleaning up some dirty items and buildings, counting the fire and arrow damage the day before, registering and making a book, calculating the maintenance budget and reporting it, and then asking the craftsmen to sort out the maintenance ......

Here, Qiu Chen announced the incentive measures, of course, there are a very small number of people who are not satisfactory in this crisis, Qiu Chen specially instructed it, and did not make a noise. However, in this turmoil, there are so many fewer people in the house, and it will not attract much attention.

At that time, I am afraid no one could have imagined that this inconspicuous Mrs. Jingbei Hou would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Jingbei Hou Mansion smoothly, not to mention giving birth to three sons and one daughter for the Jingbei Hou, and let the Jingbei Hou be the sole favor so far, and she has been awarded several times by the emperor and awarded the title of Anning County Lord...... Looking at this situation, in the future, the situation of the exclusive pet room of the Jingbei Hou Mansion will not change...... Moreover, perhaps, after that one ascends the throne in the future, Mrs. Jingbei Hou will be able to go further. The county lord has gone one step further!

Mrs. Jingbei Hou was from such a humble background, married into the capital with her bare hands, and married into this high-ranking Jingbei Hou Mansion, how many people waited with contempt to see the jokes, waiting to see how long she could last after she seemed to be married. They are also waiting to see how long she will be left behind by the Marquis of Jingbei, or roll out of the capital, or even, be wiped out by those invisible swords and swords in the mansion, like countless women, Xiang Xiaoyu died in the high mansion, not even a trace will be left.

Most of them only cared about rejoicing and rejoicing, and only a few people, such as Ping'an, such as a few guests from the Jingbei Hou Mansion, couldn't help but secretly sigh and appreciate after hearing the news.

Therefore, Qiu Chen's words were very encouraging, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire Jingbei Hou Mansion, and everyone from top to bottom was full of joy, all of them were full of joy, the soles of their feet were windy, their movements were light, and they were full of energy.

The maiden mother-in-law led by Mama Chen and Mama Lin was a little stunned when she heard this, and her heart was a little hot, but it was just one night, and there was no big danger, and Mrs. rewarded her so much, which is enough to prove that Madame is not a stingy master, and the rewards and punishments are clear...... No matter who does something, they want to be recognized, and although they don't have their own reward, this reward is enough to give them the courage and confidence to follow. I believe that if they do their best in the future, Mrs. will naturally approve of it.

Qiu Chen looked at Mama Chen and Mama Lin with satisfaction, and then continued: "This matter is not suitable for publicity, but the people in the family have really done their best, according to the rules of Hou Ye and me, those who have meritorious service will naturally be rewarded." In this way, Ji Xi, who was injured, was rewarded with fifty taels of silver and given three months of sick leave. Recuperate with peace of mind during the holidays, and after the holidays are over, you will be placed on another errand. Other personnel, the generals and the family members contributed a lot this time, the family will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver per person, the family will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver per person, and the other servants will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver for those who are engaged in firefighting, and those who have not participated in firefighting have been on duty to inspect various places, and will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver. It is not easy for others to be able to go to the same boat with the Hou Mansion and go to difficulties together. ”

As soon as they heard this, Mama Chen and Mama Lin were the first to wake up, and at the same time, their hearts were cold, and they immediately straightened their expressions, and took a girl to respectfully salute.

Qiu Chen smiled and congratulated everyone, and waited for a few people's words to gradually stop, then raised his hand to signal everyone to silence him, and said: "This matter will end here, don't mention it again." ”

Soon, Mama Chen and Chengying, Hanguang and several other people who had already rested all got the news and rushed over, and the girl was overjoyed, and she didn't forget to say hello to Qiu Chen as soon as possible.

His eyes swept over everyone in the house, Qiu Chen didn't say anything immediately, but got up and walked out of the West House, ordered Yufeng, Qingxing, Yuegui and Mama Lin to come over, and went back to the main hall together.

After that burst of ecstasy and excitement, Qiu Chen's feelings quickly calmed down, although the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, his voice and expression had regained his usual composure.

A room full of people jumped with joy, but Qiu Chen was the first to calm down.

Yes, the master's adventure, these girls and mothers-in-law are also uncomfortable and worried. Knowing that the master turned the corner from danger to safety, even before the ironclad glory was more prosperous, they could also rise to the top, and naturally rejoiced, how could they not be happy?

For them, the master is like a big tree, they are like vines, without vines, the trees may just be lonely and light, but without the attachment of the trees, it is very difficult for the vines to survive. Even if you survive a lot of hard work, you will not be able to live a good and easy life before.

This strange expression that seemed to be crying and laughing, but no one in the room expressed anything strange. Not only Qiu Chen, but these girls are actually the same, they are also crying and laughing at this time, the previous love xù was too suppressed, and suddenly it was relaxed, and the suppressed love xù after the ecstasy also burst out.

But in an instant, the mood was like riding a roller coaster, making a fuss, and in an instant, it turned into great joy, Qiu Chen wanted to laugh, the corners of his mouth were torn apart, and the tears accumulated in his eyes rolled down without warning at the same time.

Seeing Madame like this, Mama Lin also understood that her expression and words had misunderstood Madame, and she was frightened, so she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Madame's hand, Mama Lin opened an incomparably bright and incomparably bright smile, and said with a little choked in her throat: "Master Hou is fine, Madam don't worry!" …… Hou Ye sent someone back to deliver a letter to his wife, everything is good, let his wife rest assured! ”

Qiu Chen's heart was pinched, his spine was numb, his legs were weak at the same time, and the whole person almost withered. Fortunately, she just got up and held on to the corner of the table and never let go, and at this moment, the arm holding the corner of the table supported her body, so that she still stood up straight and maintained her basic composure. It's just that the voice that spoke again trembled slightly, fully exposing her feelings at this time: "Mama, what's wrong with Master Hou?" ”

Mama Lin didn't speak, her eyes were red first, Mama Lin, who had always been the heaviest appearance, didn't pay so much attention at this time, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and quickly said, "Master Hou...... Hou Ye ......"

Seeing Mama Lin stepping in like a fire, with a look of urgency, Qiu Chen's heart suddenly lifted, looking at Mama Lin and wanting to ask, but she didn't dare to speak, and finally only spit out two words: "Mama?" ”

Mama Lin walked in with a curtain, Qiu Chen and the maid in the room were stunned for a moment, and they all looked over.

Qiu Chen instructed Yuegui to take the two little girls to the west wing to clean up and settle Yufeng's mother and daughter. Just as she was talking and laughing at what curtain to use for Yufeng's mother and daughter, Mama Lin, who had been patrolling around the second gate, hurriedly walked in.

Soon, Qingxing and the nurse girls all came back after eating, and Yufeng quickly finished breakfast.

The master and servant said a few words, Qiu Chen put the lock on the kang and placed it, let the child sleep stretched, and then the two of them took a few steps back and sat on the chair opposite the kang. However, the master and servant are also aspiring together, and neither of them said anything about the shape outside.

Although Qiu Chen's words were pointed at the child, Yufeng knew that the depth of her words was far beyond the child's body. For such an arrangement, Yufeng naturally has no meaning, she knows in her heart that at the critical moment, the master is willing to take you by your side, which is far better than letting you survive by yourself. What's more, Yufeng doesn't want these benefits for herself, and when the situation is unclear, she will not give up her wife and only take care of herself.

Qiu Chen smiled, didn't mention this article first, and said to Yufeng instead: "I just read Suo'er, but I was wronged and didn't sleep very well, so it's good if you do your best." Today, for the time being, live in the West Chamber, don't move, wait for Ming'er to see, it's okay, it's stable, it's not too late for you to take the child home. ”

Yufeng's expression moved slightly, looking at Qiu Chen's eyes flashed with excitement, and then became more and more solemn, but he didn't say more, only said solemnly: "Yufeng has written it down." ”

Qiu Chen looked at Yufeng, who had a solemn expression, smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Qingxing is brave, you are wise, one of you is steady and calm, and the other is brave to move forward, I will leave the matter to the two of you in the future, so that I can really rest assured." ”

Yufeng's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to let her tears really fall, so she quickly turned her face away, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, sniffed, and nodded again and again: "Madam, Yufeng understands and has written it down, don't worry." ”

"You stupid girl!" All the words turned into an exclamation, Qiu Chen sighed, and then spoke, "You know my heart, I gave you the children, but I didn't let you slack off your locks...... It's good that you take care of the lock, and at the same time take care of the nurses and mothers, and take care of Liang'er Jiu'er. If Suo'er is really sick, you will feel uncomfortable, and I will be uncomfortable too. ”

After making sure that Xiao Suo'er was not sick, Qiu Chen gently patted the child's back, so that the slightly disturbed child could calm down again, and fell asleep peacefully, only then did he raise his eyes to look at Yufeng, and before he spoke, he glared at her disapprovingly. After staring, Qiu Chen himself couldn't say the words of blame.

Of course, your own children are important, but the little lock is equally important. If her child is lively and healthy, but Xiao Suo'er has any obstacles, she will also not be able to accept it.

Qiu Chen took the child, touched the child's head for the first time, and gently opened the child's small mouth to look at it, and made sure that the child did not have a fever, and the lips and tongue were normal, only the tongue coating was slightly white, showing that the heart qi was a little weak, and there were no other symptoms, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Qiu Chen is already a mother of six children, and she is very familiar with the changes in the child's appearance, just like she judged that her three children are very good at a glance...... These can show that the child cried a lot before going to bed, and the child fell asleep with grievances when he was tired of crying.

Qiu Chen took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold the jade phoenix who was about to salute, and took the lock in her arms.

"Madame......"

Just after the triplets fell asleep, Yufeng wanted to coax Suo'er, so she asked herself to stay and take care of a few children, and sent Qingxing and the little girl away. At this time, Yufeng held the child and guarded the end of the kang, because she was tired and stunned, so that her reaction was half a beat slower, after hearing the sound of the door curtain and footsteps, Qiu Chen had already walked in, she looked up, and then hurriedly hugged the child and got up to greet her.

The child is excellent, her heart relaxed, and naturally turned to Yufeng next to her.

Qiu Chen stepped in, and the first thing she saw was naturally her three treasures, but she only needed to glance at them, and she could see that the three children were excellent, not only did they not look frightened and sick, but they also didn't seem to know what they had gone through, which could be judged from the relaxed sleeping posture and quiet expressions of the three children.

They all know the temperament of the lady, and they say less and do more. They have been with them for a long time, and they naturally imitate or be influenced, all these touches, they will not say too much, but they will use their lives to repay, and let their next generation remember, this touch and kindness.

As a mother, she naturally loves her children. But, thinking about Madame's situation last night, she still thought about sending her and her daughter away, and even preferred to leave a little master...... This is not only a relationship, but also a favor by Yufeng. Since she followed her family from the Liao family to Mrs. Douglas, she lived a life that she couldn't think of before, although she was a master and servant, but in fact, Mrs. treated her and Qingxing no worse than her own old son, more respect for their own wishes, set a husband for them, and trusted all the way, and entrusted the two little masters to them at the most critical moment...... All of this touched her and Qingxing and remembered them in their hearts.

On the side of the kang, the little girl also fell asleep, snuggling in the arms of her mother Yufeng. There was still a trace of grievance on the corner of the little girl's mouth, and there were faint tears in the corners of her eyes...... Before, Yufeng took care of the three little masters wholeheartedly, ignoring the little girl who locked the child, and made the little girl cry very aggrieved, not even eating the milk of the nurse, Yufeng was afraid that she would be noisy to the little master who was going to sleep, so she directly asked the nurse to take her out, the little girl cried for a long time, but she couldn't cry her mother to her side, and finally fell asleep when she was tired of crying. At this time, he also sobbed from time to time, which made Yufeng, who was looking at the child with her eyes down, also feel distressed.

The children are back, and the three chubby and pink dolls are lying on the kang in the West House, sleeping soundly. Chang'er and Jiu'er didn't sleep honestly, one was lying there, and the other was directly turning horizontally, only Liang'er in the middle, with Chang'er's small fist on his cheek and Jiu'er's little feet on his legs, but he slept quietly and comfortably, not affected by the two brothers and sisters at all.

It's so peaceful, and the years are quiet and good - it's so good!

Although he had only slept for less than two hours, Qiu Chen felt much better and had a feeling of refreshment. She took a deep breath and spit it out again, the bright light told her that it was dawn, and the room was quiet and quiet, with a faint fragrance of chrysanthemum dew, which was the smell she liked.

Since Qin Zheng left yesterday, she has no mood to eat, and she has almost not eaten dinner, it has been almost a day and a night, she is really hungry, and her empty stomach is a little throbbing.

Qiu Chen slept until the end of the morning before waking up, still awakened by hunger.

What is reassuring is that the triplets and the little girl with the lock have experienced the running around at night, and they have not been frightened or cold, and they have woken up and eaten enough one by one, and they have played happily. The little girl in the chain shook her little hands and feet, turned her black eyes and chased after the three more lively triplets, occasionally grinning, looking really happy.

Qiu Chen slept deeply, and before he woke up, Yufeng handed over her lock to the girl to take care of, and she and Qingxing took care of the three little masters of Chang'er, Liang'er, and Jiu'er together with the nurse who turned back.

As Mama Chen said, after dawn, the three girls Yufeng Qingxing and Yuegui turned back with their three children.

This time, the knife fell, she and her family avoided it safely, and her heart was finally put into practice, and naturally, drowsiness hit, and she was able to sleep peacefully.

Although it seems that the chaos is less than a day and a night, Qiu Chen has always been worried about it before, and he always feels that there is a knife hanging over his head, and the cold light is forested, but he doesn't know when this knife will fall, and when it falls, can he avoid it...... Such a frightened day is not obvious on the surface, but it is extremely tiring in the heart.

In fact, at this moment, Qiu Chen was really sore and sleepy, but he was just thinking about the two children and Qin Zheng, and subconsciously tried to hold on and didn't want to sleep. After some persuasion by Mama Chen, she also went into the clean room to wash up, changed into a half-old furniture muslin thin silk cotton jacket and pants, turned back to the kang, Mama Chen stepped forward and pulled a thin quilt for her to cover, Qiu Chen also took the still sleeping Chang'er into his arms, pulled the quilt corners, covered the mother and son, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep soundly.

took another step forward, helped Qiu Chen up, and guided her to the clean room, while smiling and comforting: "Madam, you are also tired all night, and if you continue to suffer, you will hurt yourself." You rest for a while, and the little masters will come back. ”

As soon as she saw Qiu Chen's appearance, Mama Chen immediately understood, so she smiled and said, "Madame is worried about the two little masters?" Although you can rest assured, things have calmed down, the people who followed Yufeng Qingxing yesterday arrived at the incident, and when they see that the outside is calm, they will definitely pack it up. It's not dawn yet, maybe it's because the little masters didn't wake up, and when the little masters wake up, they will come back. ”

The place where Yufeng and Qingxing were hiding was not far away, and the curfew on the street outside did not prevent them from going back and forth. It's been quiet on the street for an hour, and it's almost time for the three girls to come back with the children, right?

Qiu Chen nodded, but didn't get up, just raised his eyes to look out of the house.

Mama Chen got up and persuaded with a smile: "Madam, you haven't closed your eyes all night, and now you are stable, you can rest assured, and clean up and rest for a while!" ”

When I returned to Mu'en Courtyard, it was nearly five watches, and after some placement, the sky was already faint, and a pale cyan morning light appeared on the horizon, which seemed to be slow, but irrepressibly clicked back the darkness and ushered in the light.

Mama Chen's eyes were red, and Qiu Chen's eyes were also shining with tears, but both of them had the same smile on their faces, relieved and moved.

Qiu Chen smiled, the smile was gentle and tolerant, she reached out to hold Mama Chen's hand, looked at Mama Chen's eyes and said sincerely: "I understand what Mama means, but I still feel moved, and I feel sincerely gratified, relieved that at this time, the big guys are all one heart and cohesion...... Yes, Mama is right, the big guys are all for their own families...... We are all family. ”

"Madam, the servants and maids are just doing their duty, where do you say that!" Mama Chen's face was slightly red, and there was a look of emotion in her eyes, as soon as Qiu Chen's words fell, she hurriedly said, because of the excitement of the love, she paused a little when she said this, calmed down the feelings, and then said, "Most of the people in our house used to follow the grandfather of the old country, and some of them were the companions of the lady, no matter what, they all know the roots, and they are also truly loyal to the lord and Mrs. Hou, they have followed the grandfather of the old country since their ancestors, followed the lady, and now they follow the lady of the marquis, They regard the Hou Mansion as their home, and the Hou Mansion is their survival, and they do it for their own ...... So, Madame don't have to care too much, that's what they should do. ”

"Mama sits and drinks." Qiu Chen raised his hand and motioned for Mama Chen to sit down opposite, and then said with a straight expression, "Mama, this time, our Jingbei Hou Mansion was able to survive this catastrophe so intact, thanks to a few of you Mama and the safe housekeeper who took care of the pavement and arrangement, and also thanks to the cohesion and cooperation of the whole mansion to jointly resist the enemy...... I am grateful in my heart, and I believe that Master Hou knows and will be as I think. ”

"Hey, hey, thank you, madam, my mother-in-law is thinking about having a cup of tea!" Mama Chen looked at the tea cup held in front of her, was slightly stunned, then lowered her eyes, covered the touch of emotion in her eyes, took the tea in her palm, and said continuously.

"Mama, stay here," Qiu Chen pulled Mama Chen with a smile, raised his hand and handed the cup of hot milk tea he had just brewed to Mama Chen, "Mama, you drink a cup of tea to warm up first, and then listen to me say a few words." ”

"Madame can be so compassionate, it's our blessing, only good, where can't we?! That's it, I'll tell the big kitchen to open the stove and start the fire! Mama Chen agreed with a bright smile, turned around and walked out, but was stopped by Qiu Chen pulling his sleeves.

Mama Chen knew that Qiu Chen hadn't rested all night. But to be able to consider the hunger and suffering of the servants first, it is really generous and gentle, and it can also win people's hearts!

"It's good that the population isn't damaged, it's good!" Sighing, Qiu Chen turned around and discussed with Mama Chen: "Mama, you see, everyone has also worked hard all night, it must be cold and hungry at this time, let the big kitchen cook hot soup, cook early, let the big guys eat, and then set aside a few on duty, and the others can disperse and rest first, what does Mama think?" ”

Qiu Chen, who had already returned to Mu'en Courtyard, let out a long breath after receiving the reward of Mama Chen's peace and peace. Ping An was in charge of the outer courtyard and the guards, and after reporting back, he immediately resigned.

The most important thing is that after asking Ping'an and Mama Chen to count the number of people in the outer courtyard and the inner house respectively, it was determined that only one of the guards was injured in the shoulder by a stray arrow, and there were other small wounds or scratches, but there were no major injuries, let alone deaths!

After walking for more than half an hour, Qiu Chen finished walking around the house. After looking everywhere, I was sure that there was not much loss.

Along the way, from time to time you can see the traces left by the ignition of the rocket, black piece by piece, and wet by the water splashed by the fire, broken and wolf...... The scorched traces seem to silently prove that a great chaos has just been settled, and they can be regarded as the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and everyone will inevitably have some irrepressible joy and excitement!

In order to see the situation everywhere clearly, Chengying simply ordered the mother-in-law to light up torches, and illuminate them before and after, illuminating everywhere he went, almost like daylight.

Although it is already certain that Shun Lì has pacified the rebellion, it is obviously not suitable to make too much noise at this time. Qiu Chen just smiled and ordered the two big girls, took the lamp, took the big coat to wrap himself and Chang'er, went all the way down the Liuli Pavilion, and then took the warm sedan chair. However, Qiu Chen did not go back to rest immediately, but ordered the sedan chair to go around the house all the way, and several sturdy mothers-in-law carried the sedan chair in shifts, and walked very briskly, fast and steady.

"Alright, Palm Lamp!" Qiu Chen gave a faint order, allowing Chengying and Hanguang to verify what they thought, and the faces of the two girls burst out with a thick color of joy at the same time, and even Chengying, who was calm on weekdays, couldn't help but grin and bloom a big bright smile!

Qiu Chen spit out in one breath, exhaustion and weakness hit in an instant, her legs were weak, and she almost withered, but fortunately, but only for a moment, she took a breath and stood up again. Holding on to the windowsill, he glanced out the window and turned his head.

This is after Emperor Invesco ascended the throne and changed the year name, the number of the change person was changed to this sentence. The slogan, which is usually heard by almost everyone, has become a symbol on this night! Invesco is still there!

The four scenes are smooth, Guotai Minchang!

It took a long time for the cavalry to finish, and there was silence for a while, and suddenly a voice came from the watch: "The four scenes are smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and the four watches are ...... The weather is dry and dry, be careful of the fire candles, and the four watches are ......"

After some time, there was a faint sound of a large group of cavalry marching, judging from the sound of horses' hooves, it was not a gallop, and besides, Chengying and Hanguang could also determine that it was the sound of fully armored cavalry, that is, the so-called heavy cavalry.

The previous fires were extinguished, and they disappeared into the night again.

The surroundings of the Marquis of Jingbei were calm again. Qiu Chen stood in front of the window on the second floor of the Liuli Pavilion, looking at the direction of the palace from afar.

Looking back at the empty body, none of these nimble minds returned, or controlled the horse to go away quickly, or simply abandoned the horse at all.

When the frightened horses quieted down again, there were not many cavalrymen left who had seemed to be in a neat queue, and they were all in each place, and there were hardly any companions to be seen. These people are still flexible in their minds so that the horse can quickly fall on the horse's back when they are startled, and even hide under the horse's belly, so that they can lucky enough to pick up this life and come back.

Dozens of people were silently taken for their lives, and at the moment when his neck was cold, the little leader suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have run out to join the army in the first place...... Otherwise, at this time, he should marry a wife and have children like his two brothers, serve in front of his parents' knees, and share the family! It's just that there is never a regret medicine in the world to buy! Life is not allowed to come back! He never had the chance to honor his parents again, and he lost consciousness forever! The parents at home worry about their son day and night, but unfortunately, they will never know about their son's death.

Just as he had just let out a sigh of relief, glad that he had walked through the ghost gate and narrowly recovered his life, suddenly, in the silence of the night, in the midst of their ranks, a thunderclap exploded, and the horses were frightened and jumped out......

At this moment, he remembered the home he hadn't been back to see for a long time, his parents at home, his brother and sister-in-law, and those cheerful, lively and lovely nephews and nieces......

Almost, almost, his head will be harvested by this thin iron rope! Silent!

His cold hair stood up in an instant, and a cold sweat soaked the back of his clothes in the blink of an eye!

The people behind reacted and hurriedly retracted the reins, but the speed of the horses was so fast that they stopped so quickly, and they still rushed forward, and this rush, several heads fell to the ground. The little leader was lucky, and after desperately holding the reins of his horse and stopping, he blinked, and saw a very thin iron rope in front of his neck, which was only a foot apart!

The longest thing about the cavalry is the speed, although it is not a battlefield rush at this time, because in the dead of night, there is no one in the air, and the speed of the cavalry is not slow, the person in front of him silently cut off his head, and the two or three people who followed him did not have time to react at all, and also collided. Several people also felt a chill in their necks, and the sky and earth turned upside down in an instant, and the head had fallen to the ground!

Right before his eyes, the head and torch of the soldier at the head suddenly snapped silently, and the bones rolled to the ground, the horse was still running ahead, and the owner on its back was still sitting upright, and even one of the man's hands was still holding a torch, but just like a torch, man had become a headless thing!

The first of them lit four or five torches in front of and behind them because of the need to light the rockets, and the one at the front happened to have one in his hand. Hearing the voice, the little leader looked up, and his eyes instantly widened in horror, as if he had seen a ghost!

The person who was thinking about his belly and slandering, and the person who rushed in front of him suddenly made a 'cluck' sound, as if he had been pinched by his throat, and the sound was not big, but it was heard by this little leader.

The little general at the head secretly wondered in his heart, the master ordered them to gallop outside the wall to harass, set arrows and set fire, only saying that they were the forwards, and there were brothers from behind, but it didn't take long, they all ran two laps, and after two laps, they lost twenty or thirty brothers, and if they ran again, they would have to give an account of more than 200 people here...... These brothers, resting on the battlefield, are the most brave cavalry, they did not participate in the battle of Beirong, but when they fought against the Jieren, the Yan Yan and others, these people are the best elite soldiers. They should fight on the battlefield, but they don't want to do this kind of indiscriminate thing that is similar to what Xiao Xiao Pi does.

Outside the courtyard wall on the west side, on the flat and empty brick road, thin iron cables suddenly stretched up, and the dark metallic color became their best protective color in the night, these thin iron cables were not tripping ropes, but high up, about seven feet eight feet above the ground. Those galloping cavalry did not expect that the previously flat and wide road had become a dangerous life and death field at this time, and they were still galloping on horseback......

On the other side, the generals and the family members moved.

The firefighting here soon came to an end, most of the people had stopped, the longing figure had disappeared, and only a few people were patrolling around to avoid the resurgence of the missing sparks.

Qiu Chen's knuckles holding on to the windowsill turned slightly white, and her heart was very moved. At such a time, only when these many people work together can they get through their home smoothly. She made a decision in her heart, when this level passed, she must reward her merits and deeds, and increase some welfare measures for the people. Let them truly enjoy the disease and treatment, the old have something to rely on, and the young can be raised.

The gale seemed to ease a little unconsciously, Qiu Chen stood in front of the window and watched many people busy and orderly putting out the fire, there were no lanterns and torches, only a few glazed street lamps installed in the garden, emitting a cloud of yellow light, illuminating a piece of heaven and earth, and also illuminating the people running past from under them.

After these kinds of measures, although many of the Jingbei Hou's mansions were shot by rockets, even with the help of the wind, they failed to cause a fire, and after the gong sounded, many of the flames that had just been lit were extinguished by someone carrying water.

Although Qiu Chen didn't know much about mechanical structure, he still knew some simple hydraulic devices. Seeing the wooden buildings of this era, she naturally knew the importance of fire protection facilities, and of course, there were also problems of water sanitation and convenience, so she drilled several deep wells far from the lake. The well she let people drill is different from the common modern well, the wellhead is very small, less than a foot in diameter, and the top is covered with bluestone, however, there is a hole in the middle of the bluestone, penetrates into the copper water pipe, directly underground, and is equipped with a simple manual hydraulic pump on the top, so that it is much more convenient to lift water, and a large amount of water is needed, and only need to press the hydraulic water pump to be able to pump out the water continuously.

Therefore, large households will also have water trucks, which have special sprinkler devices, similar to modern fire trucks, but the water storage is much smaller, and there is no modern equipment such as high voltage and electricity, and it is completely manpower to complete the filling and transportation of water spraying and other operations.

Of course, no matter how big the tank is, the water storage is also limited, and small fires can be extinguished, and it is not enough to burn up.

Fortunately, the mansion has paid attention to fire prevention, almost every yard has a large tank to several mouths, the large tank is filled with water, in the middle of summer, or there will be water lilies and koi fish, but the most basic role is for fire preparation. In case of a fire in one place, you can put out the fire by bringing water from the tank nearby.

But other housing facilities in the house, there is no water equipment on the glazed pavilion, naturally can not put water to extinguish the fire, some places were shot by rockets, soon burned, a gong sounded in the house, no one shouted, but there were many people running out of the darkness, almost everyone carried buckets, basins and other things containing water, carrying water and shuttling back and forth to start fighting fires.

The water flowed down the window, and the water tank was opened upstairs, and the water flowed down, and the rocket was quickly extinguished, because the time was short, and the fire on the rocket had not yet ignited the wood on the floor, and it was extinguished as soon as the water was poured, making a snorting sound!

However, it was only a flash, and the line of sight was not clear, and Qiu Chen did not see it clearly. After a moment's thought, she denied her guess. Maybe it's just a little similar, anyway, that person can't come here at this time.

Just now, by the light of the rocket, she seemed to see a familiar figure in the cavalry team in a trance.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and waved, but his eyes were still looking out of the building: "It's okay!" ”

"Madame!" Seungei let out a low cry.

Before Qiu Chen's words fell, there were several sounds of arrows entering the wood, and then a meteor rain appeared outside the window...... The enemy still uses rockets!

Duh! Duh! Duh!

In an instant, Qiu Chen exhaled and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, I didn't use a rocket!" ”

Qiu Chen was stunned, but did not dodge, only said that the hand holding the window sill was subconsciously tightened, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

However, even so, Qiu Chen stood in front of the window, and it happened that those cavalry finished running in a circle and galloped over from outside the courtyard. The men rode their horses and shot arrows with bows and arrows, and the bows and arrows whizzed in unison. With a bang, an arrow went straight to this window, just hitting the pillar next to the window, the arrow did not enter the column, only half of the tail of the arrow remained, and the cluster of white feathers trembled slightly, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night!

The line of sight on the second floor is not as wide as on the fourth floor, and the window where Qiu Chen is standing is a position where Chengying insists on sheltering, that is to say, where there is an obstruction, the line of sight is naturally even worse.

Of course, for Qin Li, a long-fought soldier, these cavalry seem to be menacing, but in fact, they are really unsightly. If it weren't for the fact that their first task was to protect the lady and the little master, and let them let go of their hands and feet to cover up, these people would not be able to live together at all! In other words, a single photograph can destroy the light!

Fortunately, the Jingbei Hou Mansion is close to the courtyard wall out of the glazed pavilion, and there are several corner towers, and the guards who are good at archery have gone up to a high place, and they have shot dozens of cavalry or horses with crossbow arrows by covering the building. If the other side does not set fire, these cavalry will not be afraid......

The guards inside the courtyard wall took refuge in the courtyard wall, covered by a wall cap, but no one was hurt, but under the suppression of the bow and arrow, they wanted to stand on the courtyard wall and kill the enemy as they did before, but they couldn't. The most feared thing is that those people set fires, if they use rockets, the entire mansion will be burned down, not to mention, the people in the mansion will naturally be difficult to consider!

Hundreds of cavalry were so powerful and fast that they soon ran in a circle.

These people did not entangle with the guards outside the courtyard, but only galloped around the Jingbei Hou Mansion, while shooting arrows with bows, the sound of bowstrings, and the arrows rained down...... The target was not the guards outside the courtyard, but all shot inside the courtyard wall.

This time it was all cavalry, I really don't know, Da Ming, who is known as lacking war horses, when did the strange soldiers become so worthless, and actually used hundreds of cavalry to besiege a Hou Ye's mansion!

Outside the courtyard of the Marquis Mansion in Jingbei, it has been torn up again at this time.

She said so, even if Chengying didn't approve of it in her heart, she really couldn't say anything. He had to obey Qiu Chen's wishes, but he also secretly ordered to go down and strengthen the guard, while following Qiu Chen's side closely, and at some point he had already held an inconspicuous black spear tightly in his hand.

As is often the case, watching the progress with your own eyes may not be panicked, but the fear of the unknown is even more unbearable!

Seeing that Chengying still insisted, Qiu Chen sighed and said, "Even if I don't love my life, I will never take care of Chang'er's life, I will not put myself in danger!" I just went to the window and looked...... Look, I don't panic! ”

Chengying and Hanguang were somewhat inexplicable, but they still agreed unequivocally, and Hanguang turned around and ran down, and immediately ordered.

Before, Qiu Chen only wanted to leave a way to retreat when he got off the boat, and if he couldn't hold it, maybe he could retreat from the waterway. But at this time, the night is dark, the wind is howling, and the visibility is extremely low, if you row a brown-covered canopy boat to the lake, it is really not easy to be spotted.

Qiu Chen's heart moved, nodded and said, "You have people open the door on the inside of the waterway and row out a boat to wait!" ”

There is a dark warehouse downstairs, which stores a prepared brown cover canopy boat, the waterway connects the inner and outer lakes, there is water, naturally not afraid of fire, in case the upstairs is really on fire, you can also row the boat to the inner lake.

Chengying and Hanguang were full of anxiety, and hurriedly caught up, and Hanguang persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, if there is a rocket fire crossbow here, I am afraid that it will not be able to protect you and the little prince." You still listen to the slaves and maids, go downstairs, and go somewhere else...... Or, take shelter in the cabin downstairs! ”

The second floor from the outside, is the usual ancient building style, a railing, you can enjoy the inner and outer lake water waves by the railing, but the windows and doors inside are also inlaid with glass, but it is not a large piece of glass, and there is a guardrail to block, so that it is invisible from the outside, but it does not hinder the scenery from the inside to the outside.

However, Qiu Chen's every step down was steady, without weak legs, let alone falling...... Even, one of her hands is always on the child on her chest, holding the little guy's ass steadily. Holding on to the railing of the stairs with his other hand, he walked all the way down to the second floor, Qiu Chen did not continue to go downstairs, but turned around, delicately bypassed a blue gauze cabinet, and walked inside.

Downstairs, outside the courtyard wall, there were bursts of tearing and killing, and the neighing of horses changed in the howling wind, like a ghost crying wolf, which was extremely terrifying!

glanced at Chengying and saw that this girl had no room for compromise, Qiu Chen could only sigh and consciously follow the two girls' intentions and go down the stairs. However, she didn't use the two girls to stand up, but calmly walked downstairs step by step.

With a yes, he turned and ran into the corner of the dark room, where the passage led to the lookout on the roof. In addition, the water pipes leading to the upper floors and other key organs are also there, and at critical times, there are special people to keep an eye on them.

That little girl was also selected by Mama Chen, Mama Lin, and others, and she was not simply born at home, but also trained. Otherwise, when I encountered such a thing, I would have been frightened a long time ago, and where could I still serve here.

Chengying was a little anxious, and did not follow Qiu Chen's instructions to leave, but turned around and called a little girl: "You go upstairs and pass on Mrs. Shen's instructions to Shen Huwei!" ”

On weekdays, this water tank also has a function, that is, it can supply clean and sanitary water, and it is the first building in Jingbei Hou Mansion to realize all-weather water flushing and sanitary ware in the Liuli Building.

Because this building is far away from the main courtyard and on the edge of the courtyard, it is almost built by riding on the wall, spanning the Jingbei Hou Mansion and the Shichahai Sea outside, which is more likely to be attacked from the outside than other buildings. There is also a height, to this height, sometimes after being struck by lightning can also cause a fire, yes, Qiu Chen designed it when he rebuilt this building, and built two big water tanks on the roof of the eaves and arches along the roof that flew down obliquely, and the lookout platform hidden under the roof is one, there are copper water pipes connected to the lake downstairs, and there is a manpower hydraulic structure at the bottom of the pipe, and it only takes two little girls to spend half an hour to transport the lake water to the roof and fill the water tank. If there is a fire, you can open the mechanism of the water tank, and there is water flowing down the roof on both sides of the water tank, so as to play a certain role in extinguishing the fire.

After walking a few steps, Qiu Chen barely stopped, and instructed Chengying: "You go and call Shen Hu and two...... By the way, I turn on the water tank mechanism on the roof! ”

Qiu Chen claimed to be quite calm in the face of trouble, but he was still a little stunned in an instant when he was picked up and left so suddenly!

Although the basic building materials of this glazed pavilion are brick and stone, the roof is inevitably wooden. There are also doors and windows, and the furniture in the house, the floor, the stairs...... Speaking of which, there's a lot of wood!

"Madam, they brought rockets, let's go!" Chengying suddenly rushed out from behind the curtain, and as soon as he said hello, he and Hanguang left and right, and before he had time to say more, one person hugged Qiu Chen's arm, picked up Qiu Chen's mother and son, and went downstairs.

Before a long hiss fell, the sound of the impact of iron tools and the screams of human beings sounded one after another! It's time to fight! It's not far from the hospital!

The Law of Sighs –

As soon as I finished doing this, I suddenly heard a neighing outside!

A gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Qiu Chen took a silk handkerchief, wiped the saliva from the corner of Chang'er's mouth, and put a soft half-used silk handkerchief under the little thing's face, so as not to make the little guy's cheeks uncomfortable against the wet placket.

I don't know if it's the reason for snuggling in his mother's arms, the little boy in Chang'er slept very soundly, Qiu Chen walked around a few times, but the little guy didn't wake up, and he slept dripping at this time, wetting the placket on Qiu Chen's chest.

With a sigh, Qiu Chen withdrew his gaze, turned away from the window, walked out of the curtain, and walked all the way back to the soft couch in the room.

In any case, the less affected the people, the better! Although, Qiu Chen himself knew that this idea was too unrealistic. Whenever there is a change in state power, it is often the common people who are most affected. Not to mention the occurrence of war, it will really be bitter for the people!

It is said that ten years ago, there was a fire in the south gate of the capital, and the fire was missing a day and two nights. In that fire, half of Nancheng was missing, killing and injuring more than 1,000 people, and nearly 8,000 families burned their homes and were homeless.

However, after looking at it for a while, he didn't see that the fire did not have a tendency to spread in a large area, and Qiu Chen judged that the place where the fire caught fire should be a relatively isolated building, not connected into a piece. Otherwise, if there is a fire in this gale, it is really possible to burn a piece...... In this era, relatively large buildings were mainly built with wood, even if they were made of bricks and stones, but also mostly foundations, columns, roof beams, etc., all of which used a lot of wood. Once on fire, there is basically no chance of saving.

In the darkness of the night, in the darkness, there were several fires faintly rising in the direction of the palace, and the firelight was flickering, illuminating a piece of the sky.

Listening to the dense and rapid sound of horses' hooves, you can judge that this time, it is no longer those shady means, it is likely to be a regular army, and, listening to the relatively neat sound of horses' hooves, Chengying can also judge that the combat power of the people who came this time should not be low, and next, it is bound to be a bitter battle! It is likely that the rockets and crossbows will be in battle, and the lady will stand in front of the window again, in case she is injured by a stray arrow......

"Madame, go in!" The sound of horses' hooves that Zhao Zhuzi could hear, Chengying and Hanguang and others were equipped with kung fu, and they stood tall, and they also had telescopes, so they naturally knew it earlier. At this moment, knowing that the enemy attack was getting closer and closer, Chengying naturally didn't want Qiu Chen to continue standing here.

I don't know where Ah Fu has gone? There are also Jiu'er and Liang'er...... They should have escaped smoothly with Yufeng, right?

Still a kid...... It's not much bigger than Ah Fu!

Vaguely unable to see his face clearly, but Zhao Zhuzi's still somewhat hoarse voice showed that he was very young and had not yet passed the period of voice change, at most he was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child!

Zhao Zhuzi didn't know, Jingbei Hou was not here at this time, but what he did was seen by Qiu Chen, who happened to come to the window.

Yes, Zhao Zhuzi did not hesitate, but looked back and instructed his brothers to hold their positions, and then clenched the iron gun in his hand and rushed forward along the courtyard wall of the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

Zhao Zhuzi's heart is very high, in his heart, Xiaoqi and Zongqi are just soldiers, far from being officers and generals! At least six products and 100 households...... That's what really counts as a real general. Of course, Baihu is the lowest general, and his ideals are far more than that.

As I said before, Zhao Zhuzi just looked honest, but he was not stupid, Lao Zuo was so arranged, and he immediately understood Lao Zuo's intentions. It's just that no one instructed him before, he could toss it by himself, and now he doesn't need Lao Zuo's command, he will still remind his brothers to be vigilant. Of course, Zhao Zhuzi is not without selfishness, although he is going in this direction to meet the enemy, but he is also going to the gate of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and their general can be over there, running over and making a long face in front of the chief. In case he encounters an enemy, he Zhao Zhuzi has some kung fu in his hands after all, and he doesn't dare to say that one is a hundred, and he is confident that he can do it if he resists for a while, he is not afraid. What's more, being a soldier in Jingwuwei, compared with the border army, is certainly leisurely and easy, but it is precisely because there are almost no major tasks, and there are very few wars, but it is extremely difficult to make military achievements, and this incident is not an extremely rare opportunity for people like Zhao Zhuzi who are eager to improve. Seize this opportunity and make military exploits, maybe you will be able to enter the eyes of the Marquis of Jingbei......

Lao Zuo's mind is flexible, he is not bad, but he is running back, it is the opposite direction of the enemy's attack, at least, he will not hit the enemy, the danger is naturally reduced a lot, and the chance of survival is much greater! It's hard for him to come up with such a life-saving method that won't be held accountable for turning his brain so fast in such a short period of time!

"You go over there and call someone! Pump hard! Lao Zuo instructed Zhao Zhuzi again, and then, he turned around and ran back, while running, he took the ash pole and beat the soldiers who had not woken up, "Get up, get up, enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

"Brothers, to all of you!" Lao Zuo saw that the reaction was not slow at this time, and in terms of dispatching and commanding operations, he was also better than Zhao Zhuzi, everyone was clear about the situation at this time, and naturally there would be no more chaos, and no matter who spoke out, the subjective judgment that Lao Zuo said was good, and immediately dispersed, returned to everyone, and prepared to meet the enemy.

At this time, as soon as they heard the sound of horses' hooves, or the sound of hurried horses' hooves, everyone was inevitably a spirit, and they suddenly woke up.

After all, these people have been mixed in the armed guard army for a long time, not to mention the strength of the battle, they are still very sensitive to changes in the wind direction of the imperial court and changes in the current situation. It's just that after a tear before, the enemy's combat strength is average, and in addition, the Jingbei Hou Mansion has shown an absolutely suppressive self-preservation ability, as well as a strong wind...... Inevitably, these people let their guard down.

Hearing this, everyone suddenly became nervous, and immediately understood the reason for Zhao Zhuzi's tossing.

No matter what they say, they are also veterans, and the youngest one present is also three or five years old, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, basic abilities such as listening to the sound of horses' hooves are no worse than Zhao Zhuzi, the reason why Zhao Zhuzi heard it alone, but he was more vigilant and did not completely relax because of the wind.

The reason why the veterans stopped and didn't chase just now was because of Lao Zuo's obstruction, and they were somewhat curious about the reason why this kid was tossing. As soon as Zhao Zhuzi's feet moved, the veterans almost subconsciously wanted to move, so they prevented him from running. But before they could move, Zhao Zhuzi stopped moving, and said such a strange sentence, yes, unexpectedly, he was slightly stunned, and he subconsciously really held his breath and sounded.

"Okay, okay," Zhao Zhuzi nodded again and again, and agreed good-naturedly, while putting down the iron gun in his hand, the head of the gun was pointing up, and the handle of the gun was on the ground, and then he took half a step back slightly, half turned around, pointed to the direction of the horse's hooves that was much clearer, and said loudly: "Brothers, you actually heard it, right?" ”

"Don't fucking bullshit!" An old soldier snorted impatiently.

Zhao Zhuzi exhaled lightly, grinned, and clenched his fists towards Lao Zuo and the veteran soldiers beside him, "Thank you, old brothers, thank you!" ”

"Brothers, stay there!" The veteran who had a sweet dream just now is surnamed Zuo, and he is called Lao Zuo. At this time, Lao Zuo inexplicably felt that something was wrong with the kid in front of him, he crossed the ash pole in his hand and raised his hand to block the veterans who were moving forward. Then, his eyes stared coldly at Zhao Zhuzi, who was already not far away in front of him, and said: "It's just five or six steps away, forgive this kid for not being able to plug in his wings and fly, so the brothers will take a step slow, and listen to what his mother can say!" ”

As the veterans pressed over step by step, Zhao Zhuzi also subconsciously wanted to retreat, but in the end he didn't move, always standing in the wind, holding the iron gun horizontally, explaining sentence by sentence.

"Do you want to call my brother now? It's late! A veteran shouted.

The direction he ran just now was to follow the wind, but this time he turned around against the wind, such a strong wind, sandwiched with gravel and dust, a mouth is a mouthful of sand, and his eyes were blown so that he could barely open them, it was really not easy to say these words.

"Old brothers! Old brothers! Rest your anger for a moment, and listen to me. Zhao Zhuzi shouted with all his might.

Zhao Zhuzi panted, holding the iron gun tightly in both hands, and did not dare to relax in the slightest to look at the veterans who also stopped running in front of him, but walked over step by step. In the dark, the eyes of the veterans were faintly like wolves, fierce and fierce, looking at Zhao Zhuzi as if they were going to tear him apart on the spot!

"You kid, run, why don't you run? Can't run, right? Hmph, you dare to hit me, this time you kid has to be pulled in his pants! ”

After running out for more than ten zhang, and came to a slightly wide place, Zhao Zhuzi turned suddenly, stopped his steps, held the iron gun in front of him with both hands, turned to face the veterans who had caught up, and shouted: "Brothers, listen to me!" ”

As more and more people caught up, the momentum became louder and louder, and the soldiers who had been hiding under the wall to take shelter also got up to watch. In this way, Zhao Zhuzi's matter was saved, and his original intention was just to remind his companions to pay attention to the arrival of the enemy attack!

A bitter smile overflowed from the corners of his closed mouth, and Zhao Zhuzi ran hard, still not forgetting to take the iron gun to hit the soldiers nesting at the base of the wall......

Of course, if this matter falls into the hands of a veteran today, he probably won't have the face to accept those too brain-consuming rectifications, I'm afraid it will be a mess, and when the time comes, it will be light to break arms and legs!

Zhao Zhuzi didn't have to look back, he could also hear that the people he had beaten were chasing after him angrily. The angry scolding of those people, and the howling of the wind, did not delay the clear arrival of his ears. This made him a little worried, in case, if he was caught up by these veterans before the enemy attack came, he would definitely not have good fruit to eat. He has seen a lot of the methods used by these veterans to rectify the new recruits, and there are many names and tricks, and the half-cripples that can definitely be rectified are not visible at all.
