Chapter 422: Surprised to see the old man

"How's it going out there?"

Qing Dai is a secret guard, once the master is identified, then there will be no concealment from the master, after all, she is educated to be the master's eyes, not brains.

"Grandma, there are many refugees pouring into the city, and the maid inquired and said that Heimu City has been besieged by the Jingbei Army for several days, and the surrounding people are worried that they will be affected by the war, so they have fled."

"Already in the city?" Zhen Miao clenched her fists.

That's what the fleeing people said.

"Sure enough, my cousin's family is hiding it from me." Zhen Miao waved her hand, "Qingdai, you go down, I'll be alone for a while." ”

Qingdai closed the door and retreated, Zhen Miao walked to the window and stretched out her hand to push the window open.

The north li of Layue is not ordinary cold, the wind whistling and rolling in, sandwiching the ice, suddenly swept away the heat in the room, and there is a plum tree at the root of the outer wall, in such a severe cold, unprovoked depression, not a single flower blooms.

On such a day, can those soldiers wearing reed cotton jackets still be able to bear it? It is no wonder that the Jingbei Army besieged but did not attack, and fought with the idea of fighting without blood.

It's just his intention, what is it?

Or was he actually just coaxing her to leave and fight against the odds?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhen Miao's face gradually turned pale.

"Cousin, you don't seem to be in good spirits, is the child bothering you again?" At dinner, Wen Yahan asked with concern.

Zhen Miao put down her chopsticks and said softly, "Cousin, I know all about the situation outside." ”

Wen Yahan's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and then put the chopsticks to the side as well. Forced to smile: "I was afraid that you would worry, so I didn't say it." During this time, your cousin-in-law has been busy with the resettlement of refugees. On the Kurogi Castle side, the situation is not very good, and it is said that there were cases of soldiers looting the people's warm clothing. ”

Zhen Miao was shocked in her heart: "Looting the people? So what happened? ”

Wen Yahan hesitated.

"Cousin, if you don't say it, let me keep it in the dark, and I won't be able to rest assured."

Wen Yahan sighed at this time: "Those troublesome soldiers were arrested and beheaded, and they were hung on the city wall, and it is said that they have now calmed down. ”

Such a pacification. And where is the true calm? I'm afraid that the life of the son of the world is getting more and more difficult. Zhen Miao bit her lip, "He was originally coaxing me." ”

Wen Yahan patted the back of Zhen Miao's hand: "Cousin, you can relax, after all, you are still pregnant." At all costs. You should protect your children. ”

Speaking of which. Her heart was heavy.

Once Kuroki City is breached and the Northern Ice City is lost, then Beili will also be involved in the war sooner or later. Han Zhiyuan, as the commander of Beili County, is probably the first person to use the knife.

"Zhiyuan told me, these days you want me to contact the housewives and open a porridge shed, second cousin, if you are bored at home, why don't you come to help."

Zhen Miao didn't think much about it, so she agreed.

It's much better to have something to do than to think about it all day.

Porridge sheds sprung up one after another, and soon popped up, and there were long queues in every place, especially the one next to the county government office with the most people.

"Let's go, the porridge shed next to the yamen can get food again." At the resettlement site, several people quickly got up.

A newcomer wondered: "There are still several streets away from the county government, why go so far, isn't there a porridge shed nearby?" I just got it. ”

A few people didn't care about answering, and hurriedly ran out, and one of them kindly explained: "You are new here, I don't know, the place next to the county government office, it is the county official's wife who leads the person, the most sincere, in addition to receiving a steamed bun, each person can also receive a bowl of hot and sour noodle soup." Such a bowl, the red oil is fragrant and spicy, just eat it with steamed buns, tsk, it tastes better than the food at home before, and after eating, the stomach is steaming, and I am not afraid of freezing. Okay, I won't say more, let's go first. After he finished speaking, he hurried out and accidentally bumped into a person.

The visitor was knocked to the ground and let out a low scream.

"I don't have eyes!" The man looked down and saw that it was a woman, her body was dusty, and her head was wrapped in a headscarf of unknown color, and her face could not be seen clearly, so he said no more, and soon disappeared in the doorway.

The woman seemed to have no strength, couldn't stand up for a while, stretched out her hand to the person next to her, and said timidly: "Cousin, help me." ”

The man next to him was also dressed as a wolf, his face was dirty and he couldn't see it, he stretched out his hand to pull the woman up, and said impatiently: "It's just that you're in trouble, it's not paper paste, others will fall when they touch it!" ”

The woman was pulled up, her head hung and she did not speak.

"Okay, I didn't hear from others, there are steamed buns to eat in the porridge shed next to the county office, let's go."

"Cousin, I really can't walk, can I wait for you here?"

"Wait here? Can I get two copies for one person? Or do you want to bring it back and you don't eat it? ”

"Let's go, then." The woman had obviously tasted starvation, and when she heard this, she immediately did not dare to say more, and followed the man towards the county office.

Looking at the long line, Wen Yahan smiled at Zhen Miao with a side face: "Cousin, it's hard for you to come up with such an idea. Northern Limi is expensive and cheap, this steamed bun and a bowl of spicy soup cost no more than a bowl of porridge, but these refugees can eat half full. Especially the spicy soup, not only can it ward off the cold, but it tastes good, even I have drunk half a bowl. ”

"It's just that some thought has been put into this regard, and I pity these displaced people, and this kind of weather is really guilty." Zhen Miao looked at the long queue in front of her, but she also knew that there was only so much she could do, thinking of Luo Tianhui, who was in danger, there was no smile on her face.

Wen Yahan sighed and persuaded: "Cousin, you've been out for a while, go back and rest." ”

dragged her out every day to breathe, because I was afraid that she would be bored in the house all day long, but I didn't dare to let her linger outside for too long.

"Hmm." Zhen Miao nodded, and walked to the side under the protection of Bai Shao Qingdai.

Suddenly, I heard a sound, and when I turned my head, I saw a woman who couldn't make out her appearance staring at her dumbfounded, and a stoneware bowl with a missing mouth kept spinning at her feet, and the soup was spilled all over the ground, because her clothes and pants were so dirty, I couldn't tell if it was splashed.

The man next to him was stunned at first, and then slapped the woman with his backhand: "You want to die if you waste food like this?" ”

Unexpectedly, the woman who had long been accustomed to being obedient suddenly broke out, pushed the man away, and ran towards Zhen Miao suddenly.

Qing Dai stood in front of Zhen Miao's side, staring at the woman who was running and was full of vigilance.

The woman's footsteps were floating, and she looked weak, Zhen Miao did not let Qing Dai move immediately, but took a few steps back and stared at the woman's face, and a sense of familiarity arose.

"Sister-in-law, you're a sister-in-law, aren't you?" The woman ran to the front, and one stumbled and fell to the ground, but she didn't care about the pain, but looked up at Zhen Miao with great effort.

Zhen Miao brought a hood to cover the wind, and when she heard this, she was a little confused at first, but looking at the thin melon seed face and the familiar voice, she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of who this woman was.

Her complexion changed slightly, and she immediately said to Qing Dai: "Take her back!" ”

It seemed that hearing this, the woman's tense heartstrings suddenly loosened, and she could no longer hold back and fainted.

In front of her, Qingdai dragged the woman away, and the man hurriedly chased after her: "I am her husband, who are you, why did you take my cousin away?" ”

"Take him with you." Zhen Miao didn't look back, and ordered the servants to maintain order.

The excitement made the queue whisper, but for these precarious refugees, a steamed bun with mixed grains and a bowl of steaming hot and sour soup were obviously more attractive than any gossip.

It was only a moment, and the group dispersed, and the line was still so long, but no one remembered what had just happened.

Zhen Miao's lips were pale, she picked up the hot milk handed over by Bai Shao and took two sips, and put it on the carved high table on one side, and the turmoil in her heart gradually calmed down.

Wen Yahan, who was sitting on the side, wanted to speak and stopped.

"I'm causing trouble for my cousin again."

"What are these words, if I didn't have my cousin, I wouldn't be where I am today. And the family is bitter, but my cousin came, and we still got a lot of light. I just don't know, that girl isβ€”"

Zhen Miao knew that she couldn't hide it, and when she saw that there were only Bai Shao and Qing Dai in the room, she sighed: "She is the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, my sister-in-law." ”

"How so?" Wen Yahan's eyes widened in surprise.

It is a bit unbelievable that a noble girl from a high family has become a beggar.

"yes, I didn't expect people to come back from the dead and become like this."

Zhen Miao made a long story short, and told Luo Zhiya about it again, Wen Yahan was dumbfounded when she heard it, and then said after a while: "This big girl Luo is really asking for trouble." ”

Speaking of this, she shook her head: "Beili is located at the border pass, and there will be occasional interracial contacts, and I have also heard that the two princes of the barbarian tail and the noble lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty get along." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and a young maid in Tsing Yi said, "That girl is awake." ”

Zhen Miao got up: "Cousin, I'll go take a look first." ”

When she walked in, Luo Zhiya was sitting half-leaning on the screen next to the bed, her body had changed into a clean and soft middle coat, wrapped in a thick blanket, and when she heard the movement, her eyes turned and flashed a hint of brightness, and then she carefully shouted "sister-in-law".

Zhen Miao sighed in her heart, the timid and cautious woman in front of her was really her stubborn sister-in-law?

She walked over and sat down on the embroidery pier on one side, and Qing Dai stood in front of the side, intentionally or unintentionally.

"When you go out, anyone may encounter difficulties, if the girl needs help, if I can help, I am willing to do my best, but the word 'sister-in-law' does not dare to be."

"Sister-in-law, you-" Anger flashed on Luo Zhiya's face, but after more than two years, she lost her previous sharpness, and only bit her lip and stared at Zhen Miao silently.

Zhen Miao said lightly: "My sisters-in-law are still in the boudoir, and only one of them is with his relatives, but he was unfortunately killed on the road. (To be continued......)
