Chapter 271: The Situation in Yanzhou

Because Emperor Chengping decreed that the master of the Xie family should not go out, even if the Zhou family came to Chang'an, Qi Tongsuo could not pick it up.

There was no way, so she had to send a housekeeper with a few subordinates to wait at the city gate.

After waiting for half a morning and not believing it, Qi Tongsuo couldn't help but feel anxious, and then said that he would wait at the door of the house, but he saw a little guy running to see Qi Tongsuo and bent down to salute: "Madam, the old lady of the Zhou family has arrived." ”

"Really?" Qi Tongsuo was overjoyed: "Have you entered the city?" Where have we gone now? ”

The little guy smiled: "I've entered the city, I've entered the city, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be home in less than half an hour after passing Suzaku Street." ”

"That's good, I'll tell the old lady to go quickly." Qi Tongsuo rewarded the little servant with a piece of broken silver, turned around and went into the house to look for the old lady.

Mrs. Xie is worried about the affairs of Yanzhou these days, people are very unenergetic, lying in bed all day, the doctor has come several times, and the medicine has been taken countless but it is not good, so she has no choice but to ask the doctor to take a look, the doctor only said that it is a heart disease, and it does not work to take any medicine.

Xie Dingguo and Qi Tongsuo were worried about this, they didn't sleep well for several nights, and the two had no choice but to take turns guarding the old lady, often telling jokes or saying something outside to the old lady, but also coaxing the old lady to be happy once or twice a day.

When Qi Tong locked into the house, Mrs. Xie was leaning on the Luohan couch, covered with a thick blanket brought from Suzhou, holding a hand stove in her hand, and laughing with a few girls.

Seeing Qi Tongsuo come in, the old lady beckoned to her: "But your sister is here?" ”

"Yes." Qi Tongsuo smiled, and Mrs. Xie asked her to go over and sit down: "Don't worry, you'll be here in a while, hurry up and sit down to rest, it's quite heavy, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Qi Tong locked up and sat down next to the old lady: "I haven't seen my eldest sister for a few days, and I feel panicked." ”

"This time, your eldest sister won't leave when she comes, and when you sisters accompany you in the future." Old Lady Xie smiled and persuaded Qi Copper Lock.

Qi Tongsuo nodded: "I understand it in my heart." ”

A line said, she and her group touched the bulging belly: "Grandma, don't worry, I'm strong, I'm definitely fine." ”

Old Mrs. Xie shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Don't keep saying it's okay, it's okay, even if it's okay, you have to be careful with me." ”

Qi Tongsuo has never been very good at talking, he is the most sincere in his heart, she listens to what Mrs. Xie says, just for a while, she will sit in peace, and keep it again.

The grandparents waited for a while, and then they heard a girl shouting outside: "Come, come, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are here......"

Qi Tongsuo hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door, and Mrs. Xie hurriedly called a few girls to follow.

After waiting for a while, I saw Qi Tongsuo and Qi Jinzhi enter the house, this Qi Jinzhi Xie Old Lady has seen it, but she hasn't seen her for about two years, and she can't recognize it.

Qi Jinzhi was also followed by a beautiful and graceful woman, and Mrs. Xie thought that this was probably the eldest girl of the Zhou family who was not married.

When Qi Jinzhi entered the door, he and the eldest lady of the Zhou family came to meet Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was busy smiling and accepting the salute, and then asked the two of them to sit down, and was busy asking the girls to serve tea and snacks.

After waiting for Qiē to be ready, Qi Jinzhi smiled and asked the old lady Xie, "Is the old lady okay?" I don't think I'm as tough as when I saw you the year before, and my face is not as good as it was then, so you can take care of it more. ”

Mrs. Xie smiled: "When you are old, it is inevitable that you will be sick here and there in pain, anyway, it's like that, no matter how much maintenance is useless, why bother looking for trouble for the children." ”

"That's not right." Qi Jinzhi disagreed: "You are always the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Xie family, you are easy to discuss everything, and the juniors also have a spectrum in their hearts, if you have three long and two short, you look at my third sister's stupid look, what can she do, she can't afford to come to the Xie family." ”

Mrs. Xie stopped talking.

Seeing this, Qi Jinzhi continued with a smile: "Speaking of which, although we are far away in Yanzhou, we also know some things about Chang'an City, and the affairs of the Xie family are also clear. ”

"What do you advise me? I'm so old that I can't think about anything. Old Mrs. Xie smiled reluctantly, tilting her body, a little weak.

Qi Jinzhi got up, went over to help the old lady, sat down beside her, and said affectionately: "Our two families are in-laws, no matter how close they are, speaking of which, I should also call you grandma from the third sister." ”

"Ouch." Mrs. Xie smiled again: "I have a big granddaughter for nothing." ”

"If grandma really thinks of me, listen to me." Qi Jinzhi held Mrs. Xie's hand, and said some heartfelt words: "According to me, even if you don't do anything else, you have to think more about your great-grandson, you see, you are always lying on the bed, and you don't come out to move, after a long time, you have to get sick if you are not sick, if you are usual, forget it, but seeing that my third sister's body is heavier day by day, I am afraid that I will give birth in the spring, if you really give birth to a child, you must not help bring it, don't be sick when the time comes, not to mention help the third sister take the child, the third sister has to take the child to serve you, If that's the case, you'll really bear it? ”

Speaking of which, such words should be called Qi Gu's words, but Qi Gu's family is far away in Suzhou, where can he come back, Qi Jinzhi, the eldest sister of the Qi family, has no choice but to persuade her.

Her words were also well-intentioned, and Mrs. Xie was not unreasonable, so she could naturally hear it, and after listening to it, she was also pondering for a while, and after a long time, she patted Qi Jinzhi's hand and smiled: "Okay, good, good boy, grandma listens to your persuasion, in the future, grandma ignores everything, just waiting to hug my great-grandson." ”

"That's right." Qi Jinzhi listened to Mrs. Xie's words, and his heart was also relaxed.

Qi Tongsuo, who was sitting next to him, also grinned when he saw this.

Old Lady Xie narrowed her eyes, took Qi Jinzhi's hand and asked, "It's cold all the way, right?" I was afraid that it would be difficult to walk on the road, so since I came, I stayed at home for two days, waiting for the house to be cleaned up before leaving. ”

Qi Jinzhi hurriedly stood up and said, "If you don't say it, we will have to be cheeky to bother for a few days." ”

"It's all a family, so it's bothered wherever it is." Mrs. Xie sighed: "I was also looking for a few people to talk to, but it happened that you came, just to accompany the old woman and me, so that I would not be bored." ”

When Qi Jinzhi sat down, Mrs. Xie asked again, "What is the situation in Yanzhou now?" ”

When she asked, she saw Qi Jinzhi's face was strange and his face was full of embarrassment.

"How?" Old Mrs. Xie was shocked and hurriedly asked, "The situation in Yanzhou is not good?" ”

"Grandma, don't ask." Qi Tongsuo looked anxious, and hurriedly went over to pull the old lady: "Anyway, we can't take care of it, and if we ask too much, it will add to the blockage." ”

Old Mrs. Xie was stubborn, shook off Qi Tongsuo's hand, and looked at Qi Jinzhi fixedly: "Good boy, you tell me about my good life, I just can't take care of it, I also want to know how Yanzhou is?" I can't just be fooled. ”

Qi Jinzhi looked at Qi Copper Lock in embarrassment, and then looked at Old Lady Xie, who didn't know what to do at all.

In the end, Qi Tongsuo gritted his teeth: "Eldest sister, you can say it, grandma may be able to open her mind after listening to it." ”

Qi Jinzhi sighed helplessly, and turned his head to look at Zhou Shuying: "Speaking of which, I don't know as much as the eldest sister, so let's ask the eldest sister to talk about it, and I'll tell you what I know." ”

Old Mrs. Xie also turned her head to look at Zhou Shuying: "Aunt and grandmother of the Zhou family, you tell my wife about it." ”

Zhou Shuying originally lowered her head, but only raised her head when she heard Mrs. Xie's question, and when she raised her head, everyone saw that her eyes were slightly red, and tears flashed in her eyes.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Xie was shocked: "Who bullied you?" ”

Zhou Shuying shook her head, wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "No one bullied me, it's just that the people of Yanzhou are living very badly." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shuying also sighed heavily: "We left early, we have been grinding for a long time on this road, and we have inquired about many things, since the cession of Yanzhou, there are many people who have moved with their families like us, we are okay, my brother has a meritorious reputation, and there is surplus wealth in the family, plus my brother and daughter-in-law can also martial arts, ten men can't beat her, and it is safe to come all the way, and has not suffered any hardships, but many ordinary people don't know how many sins they have suffered along the way, there are those who have a bad family, Halfway through, he began to sell his children and daughters......"

As soon as she said this, the whole house was quiet, and Mrs. Xie also shed tears, and Qi Tongsuo thought about that situation, and her heart was also uncomfortable.

Qi Jinzhi saw that Zhou Shuying was sad, so he had to take her words and said: "The people who moved out are good, but the most bitter ones are the people who stayed in Yanzhou." ”

Speaking of this, she scolded: "Since the group of dogs in Beiliang took over Yanzhou, they have divided these people in Yanzhou into several classes, the first class of people is the people of Beiliang, the second person is Xidi or Nanchu who do business in Yanzhou, the third person is the Hu people and the Kabuki, and the fourth person is our Da Zhou people, those Liang dogs say that our Da Zhou people are not as good as pigs and dogs, and many places have written what Zhou people and dogs are not allowed to enter. ”

"Dog stuff."

When Qi Jinzhi said this, Mrs. Xie couldn't bear it, and scolded with her eyes: "I said that there is no one in the Liang people who is good, and it is really ...... They just got Yanzhou and dared to be so presumptuous, this is completely not to take my Da Zhou in their eyes, I really can't wait to put up a knife and kill him one hundred and eighty Liang people. ”

"Grandma." Qi Tongsuo was also very angry, but she was still worried about Mrs. Xie, so she hurried over to help Mrs. Xie pat her back, so as not to really anger the old man.

Qi Jinzhi saw that the old lady was so angry, and he didn't dare to say it anymore at the moment.

Mrs. Xie slowed down several times before she came back, and she grabbed Qi Jinzhi: "Good boy, you go on, grandma is not angry." ”

Qi Jinzhi looked at Qi Tongsuo again, Qi Tongsuo couldn't help it, and said angrily: "You say, if you don't make it clear, grandma is afraid that she won't even be able to sleep." ”

Qi Jinzhi took a deep breath and said with full anger: "There are not many soldiers stationed in Yanzhou in Beiliang, in order to fear that the people of Yanzhou will rebel, they even restrict the people from owning iron tools, even kitchen knives are not many, and besides, those soldiers in Beiliang are everywhere to trample on the women and women of our Great Zhou, but I don't know how many women have been shameless and survived by their scourge."
