The flames and earth-shattering explosions raged for a whole day.

Cao Shangshu, Zhao Qi and Jing Ting, the officials of the central capital, worked together until the middle of the night to stop the fire and the frequent explosion and collapse of the house.

However, even if the rescue is timely, this alley and East Street can be regarded as destroyed.

Although there were not many civilian casualties, there were dozens of casualties, including the fire division and the city defense army who came to rescue the evacuees, and the soldiers and civilians were killed or wounded 712.

In addition, there are not a few people who have been displaced by the explosion and fire, and there is no end to the noise.

At this time, the altar of heaven is carrying out a sacrificial ceremony, Emperor Wei in accordance with the customs, worship the gods, sacrifice the three emperors and five emperors, pray for the coming year in Tianzong, the big cut shrine in the commune and the door, the ancestors, the five rituals, the workers and peasants to rest, pray for the coming year, the people's livelihood is healthy, and the momentum of the Great Wei is strong.

After the ceremony, when he walked down the altar of worship, he suddenly heard that Jing Ting had come to report the explosion in the city, and heard that he had suffered heavy casualties.

Emperor Wei was furious and immediately summoned Zhao Qi and Deng Yuan, the lord of the Deng Mansion where the explosion began, into the palace. Emperor Wei stood in front of the Temple of Heaven, and found out the reason, Deng Yuan refused to say, the emperor angrily reprimanded him for not knowing how to care for the people, and scolded Zhao Qi for not preventing Luoyang Tiangan, which caused the current big case.

The emperor questioned Deng Yuan in vain, so he sent the guard commander Sanyu to assist Jing Ting to find out the cause of the explosion.

When the emperor returned to the palace, he glanced meaningfully at Deng Guozhong, who was kneeling down at the altar of heaven.

Deng Guozhong knows that he is afraid that he will not be able to have a good time this year, he doesn't know what Deng Yuan has done, in short, his grandson must have hidden something or done in the mansion, so he will refuse to explain truthfully like he is now.

Ning Zheng was unable to take care of the Deng family because of Song Zong's matter, and besides, he saw that the distrust between the Deng family and Emperor Wei was gradually rising, and he was not happy in his heart, let alone intervene in this matter, on the contrary, if he found the right time, he would definitely add fuel and vinegar to this matter, and then add a fire to this matter.

Fu Bo adhered to himself and quietly did not move. When Emperor Wei returned to the palace, he followed closely and did not say a word for Deng Yuan.

Whoever is Deng Yuan in this matter will not die, and hit the sharp spear of the Son of Heaven.

The ministers were silent, and Jiang Chengyi, who accompanied the prince to the East Palace, also did not say a word.

Here in Luoyang, strange things happen frequently.

Far away in the small city of Linhe Zhishu in the north of Jingzhou, Ning Nanwei and Jiang Chengjia went to Lingling together to personally pick up Dou Taijun and Dou Yueshan to live in Hongfeng Village, and let people specially take Cao's command from the command of the Zhishu to Zhuangzi.

In the evening of Laba, after returning from the Beijing suburbs to worship the garden, everyone put up lanterns in the village to prepare for the upcoming Chinese New Year's Eve.

At the beginning of this Mengdong, the sky in Linhe was not very cold.

However, Jiang Chengjia, who was pregnant, was still afraid of the cold and wrapped layer after layer of robes, wrapped in a big coat on the outside, and held a hand stove in her arms, which was slightly better.

She was standing outside the vegetable garden of Hongfengzhuang, waiting for the people inside to come out. Xiao Cui and the finches around him hugged him, his face was red, his eyes widened, and he stared at the figure of Xuanyi in the innermost part of the vegetable garden.

After a while, the young man in Xuanyi grabbed a few withered vegetable leaves and ran towards her.

He stomped his feet, rubbed his sore knees, walked up to Jiang Chengjia, and said helplessly: "Sure enough, the vegetables in the garden are all withered... It seems that today, Cui'er and Qianshan can't cook. ”

Jiang Chengjia looked at the withered yellow vegetable leaves in his hand, and said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago... What kind of vegetables do you want to come to the vegetable garden at this time? What are you storing at home that aren't enough to eat? ”

The young man blushed and said, "I thought that in this weather, the vegetables in the garden are still fresh to eat... Behold? ”

The girl in front of him grinned, knocked off the vegetable leaves in his hand, covered his cold fingers with a pair of warm hands, and said gently: "Go... Go back and let Qianshan cook laba porridge... It is also warm after eating. ”

At this moment, Qianshan was still looking for ingredients in the garden that could be used to cook dishes, and she heard Jiang Chengjia's call from the other side of the garden: "Qianshan, go back!" Don't be looking for it. ”

She raised her head and saw that her girl had already walked out of the garden side by side with Ning Nan, so she hurriedly threw away the rotten vegetable leaves in her hand, patted the dust on her hand, and chased after her.

Que'er gently held Jiang Chengjia's elbow and said solemnly: "The female monarch can't be greedy when she returns... After eating, you need to follow the master's instructions to take the next patch of medicine first. ”

Jiang Chengjia saw that Qi'er was quite familiar with pharmacology and thought that she had a talent for practicing medicine, so before the teacher she was looking for for her in Ning Nan had not yet arrived in Linhe, she first asked her to worship Sun Qi as a teacher, and let Qi'er follow Sun Qi to learn medical science, and learn medical books while reading words.

Sure enough, this girl is very fast in medical science, Sun Qi has praised it several times, and Ji Xianzhi, who originally didn't agree with Qi'er studying medicine, also felt that maybe Jiang Chengjia's arrangement was very safe.

Sun Qi has always been like a frightened bird, not a little timid, after Ning Nan worried about the temptation five times, he was so frightened that he said all the words that Emperor Wei confessed before he left, and handed over all the letters sent to Emperor Wei for most of the past six months.

Simply, he is shrewd, knows where he is, who he is facing, since his life is in danger at all times, Sun Qi also chose the side that is beneficial to him, and the letters he wrote to Emperor Wei are all messy and trivial, constantly stating that he is not reused by the Marquis of Huaiyin, so he has been idle in the mansion. Reading nests

This time, after the incident of Song Zong, Ning Nan also felt that although this person was timid, he was well-versed in medical knowledge, and he was alert and credible, so he ordered Ji Xianzhi to send someone to cover the ears and eyes of Emperor Wei, and quietly took his family out of the capital.

Sun Qi was grateful, and from then on, he worshiped under Ning Nan's worries, and no longer had any dissent.

Jiang Chengjia is also happy to see it, he diagnoses his pulse, and he can always see that he carefully adjusts the medicine spectrum, and prescribes the right medicine for the strange poison and cold in her body, and since January, he has also improved a lot.

Seeing that now, after Ji Que worshiped the master, he kept calling the master one by one, and often told her to take the medicine with a serious face, Jiang Chengjia couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, good!" It's all up to you, the finch now... I listened to your master the most. ”

She nodded at Ji Que's little nose, but the little boy arched his nose, turned his face sideways and raised his chin, ignoring her.

Jiang Chengjia smiled helplessly, and turned his eyes to look at the man beside him.

But I saw that his face was heavy, as if he was enduring pain.

She trembled in her heart and said, "But your leg hurts again?" ”

Ning Nan was worried with a blue color on his face, and said a little miserably: "Xu is Fang has just squatted in the garden for too long, so he has a leg disease. ”

Jiang Chengjia blamed: "Which one told you to come out to look for food in this day?" I said I wanted to eat fresh food, so you had to come out... If I want the stars in the sky, will you pick them for me? ”

Ning Nanwu immediately nodded and said seriously: "As long as you dare to ask for it, I will dare to give it to you." ”

She sneered, "Fool, I just need you to be by my side, and I don't ask for anything else." ”

She took the young man's hand, gently rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb, and walked slowly, for fear of making Ning Nanwu's legs hurt even more.

It was only a moment in the courtyard of the village, and the Cao family hurriedly walked out of the hall with Dou Taijun in his arms.

Dou Taijun is a short old woman, even three points shorter than Jiang Chengjia, due to her advanced age, her body is shrunk, bent over and on crutches, and it is still a little difficult to walk. But if you look at her face carefully, it is not difficult to see that Taijun was also a beautiful embryo when he was young.

At this moment, this old beauty was holding a cane and pointed at Ning Nan and asked worriedly: "Two days ago, just after a heavy rain, you dragged my great-granddaughter-in-law around blindly!" Have you forgotten that she still has a doll in her belly? You kid, see how late it is? Just back? ”

The young man was scolded by Dou Taijun, his face was helpless, and he dodged everywhere: "Grandmother, don't ask... The great-grandson knew that he was wrong..."

Just when he was smiling and wanted to make Dou Taijun happy, he saw that in front of the Zhuangzi Courtyard, Dou Yueshan was dragging a bunch of paper-wrapped pastries and food boxes in her hands, and rushed in happily.

As soon as he entered the door, he ran towards Dou Taijun and said with a smile: "Great grandmother! Your great-grandson is back! ”

Dou Yueshan held a hand full of things, and was about to pounce on Dou Taijun with open arms.

The little old woman held a cane, stopped his pace abruptly, and said with disgust: "Go, go, you are cold, don't alarm your sister-in-law!" ”

At this time, the two brothers begged and scolded together, each wilting his head and hanging his head.

Jiang Chengjia watched from the side, couldn't help laughing, and laughed.

Dou Yueshan muttered, and complained coquettishly in front of Dou Taijun: "The great grandmother has a sister-in-law... If you have great-great-grandchildren, you don't love great-grandchildren! ”

He sprinkled and did not forgive.

Dou Taijun didn't want to say more to him, so he took a sip and said, "After the New Year, your father will come over... Look, you're still sprinkling it on me like this? ”

Dou Yueshan heard her mention her father Dou Xunfen, and then her face sank and she said aggrievedly: "My grandmother can't make trouble with her grandson... Then I will use my father to press me! ”

This pretty and aggrieved voice fell into everyone's ears, and a laughing and warm atmosphere spread.

This made Ning Nan worry and Jiang Chengjia forget... Dou Taijun and the three young men mentioned Dou Xunfen... There was a ruthless heart for poisoning them.

The family was in harmony, laughing and talking, and entered the house surrounded by servants and maids.

After the meal, Ning Nan was worried that his knees were hurting, so Jiang Chengjia said goodbye to Dou Taijun and took him back to his small courtyard.

She ordered someone to take herbs to ward off the cold, spread the herbal mud evenly on his two painful knees, and fastened him with the knee pads she had made in the past month.
