Chapter 28: Walking in the middle of the night

"What's wrong?" The light and familiar voice made Jiang Wei open his eyes suddenly, is it A-Niang? A-Niang is fine, what are you doing with letting people take her out? It seems like the middle of the night, right?

"Looks like Ah Zhi woke up?" Jiang Ling said in a low voice, it was him who was holding Jiang Wei.

yes? Jiang Wei didn't expect that her father and mother were there.

"How so?" Shen Qin carefully lifted the futon on his daughter's head, facing Jiang Wei's dark eyes, his little head had been raised, how could he look a little sleepy, Shen Qin was startled, and then coaxed his daughter softly: "Ah Zhi, don't cry, do you know?" If you cry, you can't go to Yangzhou with your father and mother. "They deliberately woke up their daughter lightly, Ah Zhi is young and ignorant, and it will be bad if someone finds out if he makes a sound.

Because everyone is not allowed to do so, does my father and mother want to sneak away with me? Jiang Wei was excited all of a sudden, her eyes sparkled, and she nodded vigorously, she had never encountered such a fun thing.

Shen Qin saw that her daughter didn't cry or make trouble, but looked around with wide eyes, kissed her forehead lovingly, and gave her a hat that was tightly wrapped around her head, "Ah Zhi is really good, I will be so obedient in the future." ”

"Awen, watch your step." Jiang Ling hugged his daughter in one hand and his wife in the other, the timing he chose was not bad, it was just over fifteen, the bright moon was still hanging in the sky like a silver plate, and the ground was as clear as washing, even if he didn't play the lantern, he could see the ground clearly.

"Well, I'm okay." Shen Qin was half leaning on her husband's arms, the two of them walked very fast, and there was no one around them.

Jiang Wei looked at this scene, happily lying back on Yeye's chest, this scene is very similar to her once catching a plane with her father and mother in the middle of the night, and on the way to the airport, her father hugged her, her mother fed her something to eat, and her eldest brother took a photo of her, this is also the only time the family traveled with the family in Jiang Wei's memory, Jiang Wei was only four years old at the time, but she always remembered clearly that it would be good if her three brothers were also there now, but she was greedy, and it was enough to be with her father.

"Are you ready?" Shen Qin asked hesitantly, "Don't you think things are going well?" ”

Jiang Ling was also a little hesitant, he also felt that it was smoother, but-"Awen, if it doesn't go well, we won't be able to escape." Jiang Ling reminded his beloved wife.

"The eldest brother is recuperating in private, not at home, what about the father? What if he notices? Shen Qin asked.

"He won't today." Jiang Ling cut the railway.

"Why?" Shen Qin was puzzled.

Jiang Ling paused, and his tone was a little weird: "Do you remember feeding today?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Qin nodded, and an ominous premonition gradually floated in his heart.

"Didn't you pay attention, the meat in today's meal is venison, the blood tofu in the soup before the meal is made of deer blood, and even the small cup of wine that my father fixed to drink after the meal was replaced by deer antler wine." Jiang Ling said vaguely and in a low voice, "A-Niang loves to sleep with some sandalwood, I think my father should not be able to find us tonight." According to the rules, dinner should be the daughter-in-law serving her mother-in-law to eat, but Mrs. Wang is so quiet and does not have much rules for the two daughters-in-law, so they take care of their own dinner, but the ingredients are almost the same every day. Jiang Ke is not picky about eating, he eats what the chef sends, and has the habit of drinking soup before meals, Jiang Ling affirmed that he carefully prepared the whole deer banquet, and his father ate a lot today. Sandalwood also has an aphrodisiac effect, Jiang Ling doesn't think that his father can have time to pay attention to himself today, according to the external plan, they are preparing to leave in three days.

Shen Qin and Jiang Wei were shocked.

Deer blood is an aphrodisiac thing, right? Can this thing compare to Viagra? Jiang Wei couldn't help but light wax for her grandfather, her most rebellious time was just running away from home for a thousand miles, so that her father and eldest brother almost didn't sleep for five days and six nights to find herself, she never thought of giving her dad viagra, Jiang Wei felt that if she dared to do this, her mother would definitely beat her, Jiang Wei's little face was buried in her father's chest, and her mother was the only person in the family who would beat her.

Shen Qin couldn't even walk, and his words couldn't go well, "You-you give ——— to your father" Shen Qin She has never loved fishy things, and she didn't notice that most of today's ingredients are warm and aphrodisiac things, he actually gave his family a whole deer feast!

"We don't use deer blood at home, but aren't many people in the capital using it? It doesn't hurt my body, if I wasn't afraid that my father would see it, I would have wanted to give him deer blood wine. "Jiang Ling is intent on revenge, who asked his father to directly knock him out yesterday and let the guards escort him to Yangzhou, today he will let him eat the whole deer feast, anyway, with his father's body, a little venison antler deer blood tofu will definitely not be a problem, at most it will be a little hot after that, "So we must leave today." Jiang Ling said in an affirmative tone, otherwise he would be dead tomorrow.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Shen Qin's back, "You are too bold!" The family will not let us go! She couldn't even imagine the face of the family after knowing the truth.

"When they get up, we'll be out of Beijing early." If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have dared to give him ten dares.

"Uh-" Shen Qin was a little weak-hearted, saying that she had also done something, but hearing Jiang Ling say this, she really didn't dare to mention it, they really had to leave immediately, otherwise no one would be able to spare them.

Jiang Wei sincerely prayed to her father and mother that they must leave, otherwise she really didn't dare to imagine what would happen to her grandfather after he returned to his senses.

The two of them had already walked quickly outside the door while talking, a carriage had been parked at the door, a muzzle had been put on the horse's mouth, and the four hooves were also wrapped in thick cloth, and the coachman was waiting at the door, and when he saw Jiang Ling coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

After Jiang Ling helped Shen Qin into the carriage, he stuffed his daughter in, jumped into the carriage himself, and instructed the coachman, "Go quickly!" ”

The coachman drove away without saying a word, these are all prepared by Jiang Ling a long time ago, his luggage has already been transported away, at the speed of the carriage, they can get to Caohe at dawn, these days are smooth, as long as they catch up with the road for a day, they can't catch up with the eldest brother if they want to. It's curfew now, but as long as Jiang Ling's identity doesn't have a brain, he runs wildly on Suzaku Street in the middle of the night, and no one will come to trouble him, and he has already set up a spot at the city gate, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly opened the side door to let him out of the city.

As soon as they got out of the city, the family of three breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Ling got into the carriage, hugged his daughter and kissed him, "Okay, when we get to Caohe, we can go to Yangzhou." Jiang Ling didn't even choose the largest Caohe wharf in Beijing, but changed to a small wharf, for fear of being guarded, and at the same time he also laid ten suspicious formations, so he didn't believe that he couldn't escape.

This time, Jiang Wei rarely didn't pull Yeye's beard, but giggled at him, Shen Qin said worriedly, "You be careful that the family will find you to settle accounts afterwards." "They have to go back to Yangzhou.

"What are you afraid of, those things were eaten by him voluntarily, and I didn't coax him to eat them, and when we come back in three years, he may have forgotten them." Jiang Ling was very optimistic, "Maybe they will give us another little sister, so that they don't have to rob us of knowledge." ”

Jiang was slightly embarrassed, can her grandmother still have a baby? Although she looks young, she's not too young, right?

Shen Qin glanced at him, she felt that what she did would be forgotten after three years, but what he did would definitely not be forgotten, she hugged her daughter and shook it gently, "Ah Zhi will sleep for a while." "It's still the middle of the night, let my daughter sleep a little longer, Shen Qin hopes that her daughter can sleep all the way, so as to save too much sin on the road.

Jiang Wei lay in her mother's arms, and fell asleep again in her low whisper, Shen Qin coaxed her daughter for a while, and she fell asleep herself.

Jiang Ling carefully let his wife lie down, and then let his daughter sleep next to them, he had to wait for the boat to be completely relieved. The carriage traveled very fast, and after working for more than two hours, it came to a small pier, Jiang Ling just lifted the curtain, his body stiffened, and Shen Qin rubbed his eyes vaguely, "Ah Qi? ”

"Wulangjun, the prince said that you and Wuniangzi went to Yangzhou to work hard, so we specially asked us to escort you." A sound like thunder rang out.

Shen Qin looked at a tower-like strong man outside the car through the crack in the curtain, isn't this the eldest brother's personal guard?

"The prince also said, the little lady sent you all the way, and it will be hard to go farther, so let her go back to Beijing first." The guard continued.

Shen Qin subconsciously hugged his daughter tightly, Jiang Ling's face turned pale, "When did you get here?" ”

The guard said angrily: "We waited here the night before, and the prince said that there is a thirty percent chance that Goro-kun will come here." ”

"Take them down for me!" Jiang Ling was impatient to listen to them, for tonight's incident, he didn't know how long he had been planning, and even sent someone to disguise him and Ah Wen to go to another dock, naturally he was also prepared for the eldest brother's guard, he didn't believe that the eldest brother could bring many guards, and Jiang Ling was not without guards.

"Gorou-kun-" Just as Jiang Ling's guards and Jiang Rin's personal guards were in tension, suddenly there was a thunderous sound in the distance, and even the ground shook slightly.

"Protect Langjun and Niangzi!" Without thinking, the guards immediately surrounded Jiang Ling and Shen Qin's carriage, and the coachman immediately calmed the somewhat irritable horses.

Jiang Ling squinted his eyes and looked at the dark clouds galloping in the distance, and his heart chuckled, this is not-

Jiang Rin and Jiang Ling's guards were a little surprised when they saw the people coming, because a group of cavalry galloping turned out to be Jiang Ke's personal guards, Jiang Ke's personal guards were different from Jiang Rin and Jiang Ling's personal guards, Jiang Ke was the Duke of Song Guogong and Shang Shuling had special sergeants to protect him, so his personal guards were all officers with official positions, and Jiang Rin and Jiang Ling's guards were all subordinates of the Jiang family. The trilogy can only be regarded as a house slave, of course, in the war period, the trilogy is often the family's private arm, but now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, even the Jiang family can only have fifty subordinates with private arms.

Jiang Ke's guard leader was a tall and strong man about thirty years old, with a high nose and deep eyes and a little foreign blood, the cavalry turned over and dismounted from the carriage, and the captain of the guard bowed to Jiang Ling and said: "Wulangjun, my subordinates are ordered by the prince to escort you to Yangzhou!" ”

"What are you doing!" Jiang Ling's face changed slightly as he looked at these fully armed cavalrymen.

"Gorou is offended!" The guards suddenly stepped forward, suppressed Jiang Ling at once, took out the hemp rope and tied him tightly.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Rin's personal guard stopped him, "What a bold man!" ”

"We act at the behest of the prince." Jiang Ke's personal guard said expressionlessly, he didn't know what Wulangjun was doing, so he could summon them in a hurry and order them to chase Wulangjun all the way with their warrants, saying that they would tie him up to Yangzhou. The guards have been following Jiang Ke for seven or eight years, and it is rare to see the prince so angry, but every time it seems to be related to Wulangjun.

Jiang Rin's personal guard looked at Jiang Ling suspiciously, and secretly wondered in his heart whether Golangjun was in trouble again? Jiang Ling snorted coldly, didn't say a word, he didn't dare to say that he gave his father a whole deer banquet, and he wasn't impatient. At this time, Jiang Ke's personal guards mercilessly threw him on the boat and left.

"Ah Qi!" Shen Qin jumped anxiously.

"Still screaming! What trouble have you gotten into again! Xie Ze's voice came, after she received the report from the next person, she rushed over, she and Jiang Rin were recuperating in private, just in the suburbs of Beijing, it was very convenient to come by horseback.

Where did Shen Qin dare to say that Jiang Ling had a whole deer banquet, "Where are we in trouble, we just want to take Ah Zhi away." At this time, she felt movement in her arms, she looked down and saw her daughter's little hands rubbing her eyes, as if she was trying to wake up, knowing that she was awakened, she hurriedly lowered her head and kissed her daughter, and shook it, "Ah Zhi, sleep for a while." ”

Jiang Wei didn't wake up in the first place, listening to A-Niang's familiar voice, she fell asleep again.

Xie Zedao: "You just want Ah Zhi to follow you, have you ever thought about Ah Zhi in the future?" ”

"Achi's future?"

"Yes, it will take you three years to go to Yangzhou, maybe there will be five or six years, do you still want Ah Zhi to grow up in Jiangnan? What good playmates can Yangzhou have? Do you want Ah Zhi to return to Beijing without a close friend? Xie Ze asked rhetorically, the circle of nobles in the capital is xenophobic and class-distinct, if Ah Zhi grew up in another place, even if she is the eldest daughter of Jiang Mansion, she doesn't think that she can completely integrate into that circle.

Shen Qin said disdainfully: "No, no, there are only one or two good friends." "Shen Qin's good friends since childhood include Jiang Changhui and Xie Ze sisters, "Ah Zhi's identity still needs to be confronted by others?" ”

Xie Beidao: "What about Ah Zhi's upbringing? Where can you find a good gentleman to teach Ah Chi? Don't say that you teach in person, when you go to the place, you have to do practical things, right? Do you think you'll be as laid-back as you used to be? ”

Shen Qin didn't speak, and Xie Bei sighed, "You always said that you want Ah Zhi to find a husband who is affectionate and a childhood sweetheart, but if you go to Yangzhou, do you still want Ah Zhi to look for it locally?" And Yangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, humid and warm, the most prone to disease, you are looking for a doctor, but the doctor can cure all diseases? You went to Jiangnan once when you were young, but at that time, you had to see that Mrs. Shen took you to other places later? What if—" Xie Ze paused, "how can you let us stand it?" "This is the main reason why everyone doesn't let Ah Zhi go, there are too many children who die young, even if it seems to be in good health, they are not willing to take a little risk.

Shen Qin said: "You just want to rob Ah Zhi from us-" Her tone was aggrieved, and everything else was empty talk.

"Yes, so do you think you took it with you? Do you think we're holding you back? There are others from the Shen family. Without Jiang Ke and Shen Yi to speak, how could the gate of the capital be opened as soon as it was opened, Xie Ze saw that her eyes were red, and patted her comfortingly, "If you are reluctant, either stay or have another one." ”

Shen Qin said angrily: "Don't be born! If you give birth, you will snatch it away! ”

"Stupid." Xie shook his head, "Ah Zhisheng was too right. "The lost vitality of the Jiang family over the years has gradually been regained, the three children have grown up, there is no need to bother teaching, there is no big thing in the court, the frontier is also stable, everyone has leisure, it just so happens that Ah Zhi was born, and he is well-behaved and cute, and the two old men are willing to let go. It's Xie Ze herself, who originally thought that it didn't matter if she had children or not, but as she and Jiang Rin got older, children were rare, if it weren't for Jiang Ling's unwillingness, the two of them really wanted to succeed Ah Zhi instead of Da Lang.

Xie Ze said for a long time, and finally made Shen Qin reluctantly hugged her sleeping daughter and kissed her again, and then cried and chased after her husband, she was also worried that those people would really tie Ah Qi all the way over, and the family seemed to be really angry this time.

Jiang was sleeping soundly, not knowing that when he woke up, his father and mother were gone.
