Chapter 699: Defeat

It's just that she just wanted to find out about her condition, but Old Madam Xie didn't plan to let her know. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Grandmother still needs to pay more attention to her body."

Old Madam Xie waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'll figure it out." ”

Shen Jingyi pursed her lips, she remembered that Mrs. Shen was also before, and she always said that there were several children, and in the end, they were all seriously ill, and her body became worse and worse, and then she was bedridden until she died.

"Originally, I couldn't let go of your mother's matter, and I often dreamed of her recently, but now that my heart is over, I can go with peace of mind. It's just," she looked at Xie Chen, "Your cousin is not married yet, and the Xie family has no queen, but I haven't had the face to meet the ancestors of the Xie family." ”

When Xie Chen heard this, although he didn't speak, he stiffened.

"Grandmother doesn't need to worry, thank you...... Cousin has a great demeanor, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people, so this daughter-in-law naturally has to be selected slowly, and it is good to marry a suitable person. ”

Xie Chen's eyes were deep and he glanced at her.

"I'm afraid he doesn't have the same mind." Old Madam Xie shook her head, and then asked, "Where is Brother Lang?" ”

"The nurse took it, and if my grandmother thinks of him, I will order someone to bring it."

"Forget it," she waved her hand, "The child is small, so there is no need to toss, my body is not very good, you can take him to the house to see me more in the future." ”

Shen Jingyi naturally had to agree, "Yes!" ”

Old Madam Xie was already a little tired after saying a few words, and she was about to leave soon, so she refused the resting place arranged by Shen Jingyi for her, and left with Xie Chen by herself.

After sending the two away, and turning around, Jingyi frowned and said, "You say, what does grandmother mean by this?" Good manner, why did you talk to me about Xie Chen's marriage? ”

Lu Fu looked left and right, and saw that he was the only one closest to her, and he asked her eighty percent of this, so he replied: "The slave doesn't know, otherwise, you go and ask the eldest son of Xie!" ”

"Forget it," she said better off asking.

In the carriage, Xie Chen poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Xie, "Why did grandmother talk to my cousin about this?" He asked, his lips pursing slightly.

"Do you want to go on like this forever?" She raised her eyes to look at him, a little stern, "Your aunt's enmity is over, and now there is such a thing left for me to remember, if you know what is good, you should quickly look at your own family and inherit the Xie family." ”

"The big things haven't settled yet, these things ......"

"Don't delay you in marrying a wife," Old Madam Xie interrupted him, "Anyway, I must have picked a few families, and I'll let Jingyi help handle it when I turn around." ”

"Grandmother ......"

"Since you can't cut it off by yourself, I'll help you as a grandmother."

Xie Chen clenched his palms and stopped talking.

In the rainy season, Jiangnan seems to be shrouded in a veil of smoke, hazy and graceful.

Shen Kun's body could not be recovered, and even Shen Zhuo suddenly disappeared. The battle in Huai'an Mansion was still fierce, and the Jiangnan Army, which was originally winning, was soon on the losing side because the imperial court sent reinforcements.

When Shen Jingyi got the news, the Jiangnan army had already lost two games in a row.

This is something that has not been done since the beginning of the war.

In Old Lady Chen's study, Shen Jingyi hurriedly came to discuss countermeasures.

"The imperial court sent troops to reinforce, presumably to mobilize the Jingwei, and is not afraid that His Highness will directly hit the imperial city?"

The old lady stroked her beard and shook her head, "Where is the imperial city easy to fight through." As he spoke, he said: "Huai'an Mansion must send reinforcements, originally we had a difference of 100,000 soldiers and horses with the imperial court, and it is rare to be able to make a tie, but now we have added 100,000, I am afraid of danger." ”

"However, there are not many soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, only 50,000 stationed in Yangzhou Mansion, and other state capitals are not equal, if you send troops to reinforce, I am afraid that you will have to draw from them."

And the matter of transfer is very important, in case the imperial court sends people to attack Yangzhou Mansion, then the city will have to fall into a dire situation.

The old lady also considered, he pondered for a while, took out the map, and pointed to a few places, "In addition to the soldiers and horses in Hangzhou Mansion that cannot be transferred, a batch can be transferred from Jinling and Yangzhou Mansions, not to mention, there are always 50,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"However, what if the imperial court brings someone to intercept the rescue soldiers?" She pointed to Yutu.

"It's good that they don't care about it."

Shen Jingyi frowned, thinking about how to attract the attention of the imperial court at that time, the old lady said: "Go back to Fat Liu Qingyun, since he wants to make a contribution, then this matter will be left to him." ”

"Him?" Jingyi was slightly surprised, "But he's not good at water warfare, wouldn't it ...... let him go to support Huai'an Mansion?"

"His father is good at it, but he doesn't have many opportunities to fight water warfare, but is more familiar with land warfare."

Seeing him say this, Shen Jingyi didn't want to say anything, because she was worried about Huai'an Mansion, after the old lady's affairs were ordered, she withdrew from the study.

After ordering someone to go to Liu Qingyun, she went back to Chen Yu's study and sent a few letters out in a row.

What she did was very simple, assassinate the children of the clan, and now, she can't care about so much.

Some of the people in the roster that Xie Chen gave her have been successfully bought, and there are still a few people who occupy important positions in the court.

For example, the military department is still in the book.

If she hadn't thought in the past, an emperor's cronie like Bingbu Shangshu would be used by her, but there is no eternal enemy, as long as the interests are sufficient, they are friends.

This sentence is really believable!

Liu Qingyun received a summons from the old lady and came soon, Shen Jingyi only knew that they had been talking secretly for more than an hour, and then Liu Qingyun left across the horse. On the second day, he ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to leave Yangzhou Mansion.

Because of his departure, Shen Jingyi simply took Liu Jin'e to the mansion to take care of her, and she happened to be with Chen Ying.

After getting a vacancy, Shen Jingyi took Chen Lang and went to the Xie Mansion to visit Mrs. Xie under the protection of the guards.

What surprised her was that she would meet that big girl Zhang here.

Seemingly very dissatisfied with her arrival, Miss Zhang didn't say anything to her after seeing her coldly, and only smiled when she looked at Old Madam Xie, which was quite flattering.

Seeing this, the latter's originally mild attitude faded and said, "Now that Jingyi is here, I won't keep you any longer." ”

"Huh?" Miss Zhang didn't react for a while, "Old lady......"

Old Madam Xie smiled and ordered, "Come on, send Miss Zhang back, be careful, don't go wrong." ”

"Old lady, I, this ......" She was a little anxious, didn't she say that she would accompany her to eat, she looked at Shen Jingyi, her eyes showed hatred, it must be her, it must be her troublemaker.

No, Rao was unwilling, and she had to get up and leave.

"There's no need to let her in again," said Old Madam Xie, speaking to her subordinates.

Thinking about it, Miss Zhang dared to be rude to Shen Jingyi, no matter what the old lady said, it was impossible to like her anymore.
