Chapter 170
"Chen Jia, you obviously love each other with An Dinghou, right?" Ruoyun didn't buy the grievances he had just suffered.
"No, you don't understand." Chen Jia panicked and quickly denied it. I felt that something was wrong, so I quickly changed the subject. "Sister-in-law hasn't moved yet?"
Shi Hailing has always wanted to have a child, but until now, he has not fulfilled people's wishes, and there has been no movement until now.
"If you tell me the truth, I will tell you the truth." Ruoyun actually played with his heart.
"The sea spirit is finally there." Chen Jia was ecstatic and happy for Hai Ling.
"You're wrong, she thought she had, but it turned out it wasn't." Ruoyun is depressed.
"How so?"
Ruoyun shook his head, "Then I don't know." Okay, Chen Jia, I've already said it, now it's your turn. Are you and Andinghou? ”
Chen Jia looked at Ruoyun, thinking about her reckless nature, where did she dare to tell her the truth? She turned her face to tease Si'er: "You're thinking too much. Okay, I'll take Si'er to dinner. ”
……
In the afternoon, Chen Jia rode a horse to visit the Duchess of Guogong, but she only walked around in etiquette, Chen Jia had little communication with her, and the Duchess couldn't hide her disappointment and incomprehension. But Chen Jia was still as close as before, and left in a hurry after drinking a cup of tea.
Chen Jia went to the academy to play a game of chess with the dean.
"Chen Jia, will you leave for Shengcheng tomorrow?"
"Yes, Dean."
Chen Jia is still in charge, and the two of them played half a game of chess back and forth, and talked about their imminent trip to Shengcheng. The dean suddenly asked.
"Then you have to be careful, if the situation is not right, you must leave quickly. The emperor's move is to make more danger than another. The dean frowned and said worriedly.
"Dean, please make it clear?" Chen Jia didn't understand what was in danger.
"Human affection is like a thin piece of paper, and the world is like a new chess game. You've been in retreat for a year, and you haven't seen a lot of things. It is a good thing for the emperor to increase his troops and increase his national strength, but even if it is an iron coupon, it cannot guarantee that the people's hearts will remain unchanged, not to mention that several marquis are all military and political? Rights often change hearts. After the integration of the military and the government, they are truly kings and hegemons in their own territory. The dean took a deep breath and picked up the tea with trembling hands, probably Parkinson's, his hands have been shaking more and more in recent years, and he trembled so much that the teacup lid was about to fall off, Chen Jia hurriedly helped take off the cup lid.
"Did the dean say that Jiang Wenhan had two hearts?" Chen Jia asked tentatively.
"Chen Jia, you are a smart person, don't you want to think about it, why does he have two hearts? Now that the emperor is in his prime, the princes are still young, and over time, several princes have grown up, and Li Shengguo's present is the future of Jin'an. Both the Sun family and the Yang family were crowned Hou. In the future, I am afraid that the competition for the crown will be much more fierce than the current Li Shengguo. ”
The dean woke up the dreamer with a word, and Chen Jia actually felt that the emperor was playing with fire. Although his eldest brother will not have these thoughts, but what about others? Especially the Sun family and the Yang family, which are closest to the imperial power.
"But, didn't the emperor think of it?" Chen Jia didn't believe it, the emperor hadn't thought about these things before making such a big decision. What did he rely on, is it the way of weighing that Jiang Qian often said before his death?
"Jun's heart is unpredictable, but Jiang Wenhan's heart, I know. He strives to be perfect, but he can't afford to lose. You see that he went to Shengcheng to make Shengcheng a prosperous scene, in which he tried his best, and even did not hesitate to use the Jiang family's hundreds of years of old capital to run this qiē, is he so bothered to get a little appreciation from the emperor? He is already a marquis of the plains, what else does he particularly want to get? Once he is asked to give up this qiē, he will definitely resist desperately. Who will be able to suppress him then? ”
"Could it be that he didn't develop any economy, but just used the Jiang family's old capital accumulated for hundreds of years to raise soldiers?" Chen Jia frowned, and her face was difficult to look at. Just say that human affection is like paper, the friendship between himself and him is estimated to have been exhausted when he married Cheng Ying, Cheng Ying and Cheng Mei have not dealt with themselves since childhood, is it really so dangerous for him to go this time?
"You just have to know it in your heart, maybe I'm too worried. However, if you don't think about it, you will lose this game. The dean said as he fell the sunspot, and Chen Jia looked down and saw that the defeat was decided.
"Thank you dean for the reminder. Chen Jia will make more preparations. "I have to find out, just rely on the stars and their people to find out the skin, otherwise I will know them face to face directly.
……
The next day, Chen Jia still set off for Shengcheng, but she instructed Ah Da to bring ten people to explore the way, while Xing continued to stay in the capital, and instructed them to go up and compete with each other when they saw the shadow of the group of organizations outside the country, so as to see how many gaps there were.
Only Chen Jia and Liuyun set off lightly. Liuyun is walking in secret, Chen Jia directly dressed back in men's clothes for convenience, tied her hair on the top of her head, with her childish face and slender height, plus wheat-colored skin, it really has the meaning of a beautiful son.
She rode all the way to the west, because the sea was further west of Shengcheng, and the further west she went, the hotter it became. On the way, Chen Jia didn't care much, and took turns on duty with Liuyun, bathing in a pond when he encountered it, and sleeping in a tree or cave if there was no town.
After entering the boundary of Shengcheng, Chen Jia went all the way to make secret visits, wanting to see what the situation in Shengcheng was now. But Chen Jia actually found that Shengcheng seemed to be really well governed, the people were simple, the people were also enthusiastic, and the people's hearts were still very united, all of them were saying good things about Jiang Wenhan, especially when someone in the family was serving as a soldier, everyone was proud of it, as if it was a great thing to be a soldier, which made Chen Jia secretly surprised.
Finally arrived at the boundary of the plains, it is said that this is Jiang Wenhan's hometown, and she wants to leave here for another day.
Chen Jia visited the two families at random, and when she mentioned Jiang Wenhan, those people were full of praise, and the tone of worship simply worshiped Jiang Wenhan like a god.
Is he really that good? Everyone said that he was good, and Chen Jia also began to waver a little, "Maybe I really think too much." ”
In the evening, on the side of a mountain, Chen Jia and Liuyun found a clear pond, and because it was getting late, Chen Jia and Liuyun began to take turns bathing in the night. In the evening, the two borrowed a farmhouse for one night.
Early the next morning, the two passed by the courtyard of a house, but Chen Jia seemed to see an acquaintance through the door.
It turned out to be Cheng Ying, she was playing in the yard with two children less than two weeks old, the two children should have just taken a bath, they were only around a belly pocket, there was an old woman and a young maid next to her, Cheng Ying herself was dressed plainly, and she didn't look like a Mrs. Hou at all. Chen Jia thought she was dazzled, rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help but fly to the roof next to them with light skills.
It's really her. Isn't she married to Jiang Wenhan? Is Jiang Wenhan like this to her? Throw her and the child in such a place? Chen Jia had a stomach full of questions.
"Madam, yesterday an adult came to inquire about you and asked if your surname was Cheng, and I said no, saying that your surname is Jiang." The old woman smiled and took one of the children by the hand, and said as she walked.
"Your Excellency?"
"It's just a soldier." The old woman replied as she coaxed the child to walk.
"What else did he say?" Cheng Ying was a little timid, did he still find it? I can't imagine that I never go out and can't escape the search, so shouldn't I live in a different place?
"The man asked if there was a child as old as ours, and the child's mother was surnamed Cheng, and I said that our wife's surname was Jiang, and I had never heard of such a family around, so the man left."
"So?" Cheng Ying entered the bedroom with some worry.
Seeing this, Chen Jia also flashed into the bedroom while people were not paying attention.
"Cheng Ying." Chen Jia walked behind Cheng Ying and shouted softly.
Cheng Ying turned her head and suddenly saw Chen Jia, her eyes widened in fright, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she almost screamed. (To be continued.) )
