Chapter 136: Mess Up
There was a panic just now, and Mama Yao didn't know where the letter went, so she searched in the room before finding the letter under the table, picking it up and giving it to Zhao.
Zhao and Qian immediately buried their heads in looking, and when they saw half of it, Qian unconsciously shifted their gaze from the letter to Zhao's face. Zhao's eyes were red, the letter paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball and pinched in his palm, and he sat on the embroidery pier and covered his eyes for a long time before calming down.
Even though the Qian family next to him opened his mouth to persuade him, he could only say dryly, "Big brother and he Jiren have his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine, sister-in-law, don't worry." ”
Zhao Shi replied lightly, she knew that she couldn't fall now, her mother was still sick like this, if she fell, wouldn't Shangshu Mansion be even more chaotic. So she can't fall, she is the head of the household Shangshu Mansion, she must cheer up.
Mama Yao looked at Mrs. Su lying on the bed, and then looked at the pale faces of Zhao and Qian, and her heart was in turmoil.
Zhao and Qian were silent by the bedside of Old Lady Su, and neither of them spoke.
After about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Su woke up slowly, but her body was still very weak, and her breathing was short, as if she was out of breath.
Mama Su brought a cup of warm water, and Mrs. Su couldn't help coughing after two sips, and hurriedly pinched her handkerchief to cover her lips, and when her throat was more comfortable, she gradually let go of her hand, and the handkerchief was stained with a lot of blood, and it was so red that it was dazzling.
"Where's the doctor! Why hasn't the doctor come yet! ”
The maid replied hurriedly, "I have already sent someone to urge ......."
When the house was in chaos, the sound of the maids outside was like a heavenly sound.
"The doctor is here!"
Everyone in the room hurriedly staggered their bodies to welcome the doctor in, and the doctor couldn't care about any salutes when he saw this situation, so he immediately stepped forward to take the pulse for Mrs. Su, and immediately frowned, "Why did you suddenly get so sick?" I was fine when I came to ask for a pulse two days ago. ”
Wang Hongsheng came back with the imperial doctor.
He was in the imperial study to discuss with the emperor about the robbery of grain and grass, and he heard that his old wife was so sick that she vomited blood, and she secretly said that it was not good at the moment. The emperor also heard it at that time, and immediately assigned the imperial doctor to follow him back.
After the doctor diagnosed the pulse, he left a prescription, and the maid next to him immediately took the prescription to grab the medicine and boil the medicine. Wang Hongsheng glanced at the bloodshot Zhao family, and couldn't help but feel relieved. Thinking of his eldest son, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Maple Garden.
When he got up in the morning, Chu Changfeng looked down at the sleeping little woman in his arms, leaned over and gave her a soft kiss on the face. When Xu Jiayi opened her eyes, she happened to crash into Chu Changfeng's deep eyes, subconsciously moved her body, yawned and asked, "What time is it?" ”
Her voice was a little hoarse and languid, soft and glutinous. As he spoke, he rubbed into Chu Changfeng's arms, found a comfortable position, and slowly closed his eyes again and pretended to sleep.
"Be good, don't move in the morning......" Chu Changfeng stretched out his hand to restrain Xu Jiayi's movements, and spoke in a slightly forbearant voice. The bodies of the two were very close, and Xu Jiayi could feel the scorching temperature coming from him.
Immediately reacted to something, a suspicious flush appeared on Xu Jiayi's delicate face, and after looking at Chu Changfeng who was silent for a long time, he pretended to be calm and said, "Otherwise, I will ask Cuiyun to prepare some cold water for you to bathe in Uncle Cousin?" ”
Chu Changfeng was slightly flustered, and raised his hand to hook the tip of Xu Jiayi's nose, "Xiao Nizi has learned badly." ”
The two of them were laughing and laughing on the bed for a long time and didn't get up, and Yuanxiang, who was guarding outside, didn't hear the instructions in the house and didn't dare to enter the house, and stood obediently under the porch. After a sweep, he saw Qi Fei with a serious face, and couldn't help blushing first, and stepped forward to greet him, "Why are you here?" ”
"What about the son?" Qi Fei's son didn't have time to talk to Yuan Xiang about love, but when he saw the look on Yuan Xiang's face, he slowed down, and after hearing Yuan Xiang say that the son of the world hadn't gotten up yet, he hurriedly spoke up, "I have something to report to the son." ”
Qi Fei is a foreign man, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't go into the backyard. Therefore, the son also stood in the courtyard and did not come down to the porch. Yuan Xiang saw that Qi Fei's expression was different, so she didn't ask much, turned around to the door, raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, and raised her voice to report, "Shizi, Qi Fei has something urgent to see you." ”
"You lie down a little longer, and I'll go out and have a look." Chu Changfeng withdrew the arm that was holding Xu Jiayi's neck, got up and got out of bed. took the clothes that were placed on the side and put them on, and when he opened the door, he saw Qi Fei with an anxious face, "What's wrong?" ”
Qi Fei took two steps forward and approached Chu Changfeng's side, and whispered in his ear the news he had just gotten. With Qi Fei's report, Chu Changfeng's face became colder and colder, and after Qi Fei finished speaking, Chu Changfeng's face was already gloomy, and his eyes were also gloomy.
Regardless of Wang Mingyuan's situation in this matter, the disappearance of that batch of grain and grass is really worse for them.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jiayi, who had cleaned up, asked Yuan Xiang to open the door behind Chu Changfeng, and when she raised her eyes, she couldn't help but ask aloud when she saw the looks of the two men.
Qi Fei replied with a smile, "It's not a big deal, don't worry, madam." ”
Xu Jiayi looked at the two of them and really didn't look like there was nothing serious, but she didn't ask too much, and nodded in compliance.
"There is an accident in the team escorting grain and grass in Guanzhong, I will rush over to deal with it, you should pay attention to safety in the house."
Chu Changfeng didn't dare to mention that the person who escorted the grain and grass to the border was Xu Jiayi's uncle Wang Mingyuan, who originally wanted to surprise Xu Jiayi after Wang Mingyuan arrived, but now he concealed it because the team escorting the grain and grass suffered a lot of casualties, but there were still many people who disappeared almost out of thin air. Although Wang Mingyuan's body was not found at the scene, I am afraid that it is also unlucky.
Still, it's a good thing that no body has been found, and at least there is a glimmer of hope that someone else is still alive. However, the specific situation still needs to wait for him to see the scene before he can make any inferences.
Xu Jiayi is pregnant now, if he tells her such things, he is afraid that she will not be able to stand it.
"Okay."
Chu Changfeng nodded, and asked Yuanxiang to wait for Xu Jiayi to wash up first, and went to find Mama Hua and told her to guard the maple garden and not let people talk nonsense in Xu Jiayi's ear.
When Xu Jiayi finished washing, Chu Changfeng had already gone out, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and Xu Jiayi just ate some casually and asked people to leave.
Guanzhong is about a thousand miles away from Changzhou, and it takes at least four or five days to run day and night on a fast horse, not to mention that Chu Changfeng is not an iron fighter, so it is naturally impossible to rush day and night, so it will take more than half a month to come back and forth to Guanzhong, and it may take a month to deal with things.
Although Xu Jiayi knew in her heart that Chu Changfeng was going to deal with things, she was really a little unaccustomed to being without him by her side. Sometimes I even walked to Liuyun Yuan unconsciously when I was walking, and only after being reminded by the maid did I remember that Chu Changfeng had already left the house.
Time seemed to be able to fly, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no news of Chu Changfeng's return.
Today, Xu Jiayi wore a newly made loose version of the juan gauze gold silk embroidered dress, this time she was lazily half leaning on the soft collapse, holding a book on the art of war in her hand and looking at it, seeing Yuan Xiang come into the house to add tea without even lifting her eyelids, she lowered her head and turned the pages of the book, and occasionally reached out to take a sip of the tea cup on the side and put it down.
Xu Jiayi didn't like to read military books in the past, but it was only because she wanted to have more common topics with him after marrying Chu Changfeng, so she began to force herself to read these obscure books. But the more I read it later, the more I felt that these military books were very reasonable and useful, and they were much more nutritious than those books that passed the time, so I gradually liked them, and I liked to take two books out to read in my spare time.
The early morning sun fell through the window, the air was filled with the scent of flowers, and a few maids in the courtyard were gossiping under the porch, looking like the years were quiet.
Until a joyful voice from Cuiyun came in, breaking the silence.
"Madam, there's a letter from the capital!" Cuiyun walked in with a letter in her hand, which she had just retrieved from the porter. Hearing this, Xu Jiayi put down the military book in her hand and took the envelope in Cuiyun's hand like a spring breeze.
"The old lady is writing again? Calculate the time, this will be the child in the womb of the second young lady of the son, right? I don't know if it's a boy or a girl......" Yuan Xiang said babbling on the side, but found that Xu Jiayi's face was a little wrong, and couldn't help but silence her voice, could it be that the child in the second young lady's belly was not saved?
Yuan Xiang subconsciously looked at Cuiyun, but saw Cuiyun shaking her head at her with a blank face.
After seeing what the letter said, Xu Jiayi only felt that her brain exploded with a "boom", and her hand holding the letter paper hung down unconsciously, and the scene in front of her was indistinct, only to feel that the sky was spinning, and the whole sky was dark.
As soon as Mama Hua entered the house with the fetal pills, she couldn't help but be startled when she saw Xu Jiayi fall to the ground, so frightened that the fetal pills in her hands almost fell to the ground, and exclaimed, "Madam!" ”
Seeing this, Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, the two maids who had been guarding Xu Jiayi's side, supported Xu Jiayi with quick eyes and hands, but Xu Jiayi's body was soft and paralyzed to the ground, and the two maids couldn't support her.
"Madame! What's wrong with you? Are you alright? ”
"You two quickly help Madame to the bed and lie down." Mama Hua hurriedly said, then turned around and went to the door to order someone to go to the front yard to invite Dr. Shen to take a look, and at the same time, she was secretly glad in her heart, fortunately, the prince invited Dr. Shen to live in the house, otherwise the son would go to the house to ask the doctor again, and it would take a lot of time to come and go.
