Chapter 129: Filial piety and righteousness are in a dilemma, and the world is unpredictable

Shangguan Ningxuan suddenly pushed Wang Jingyan out of the door, behaving strangely, Wang Jingyan outside the door was very surprised and looked confused.

She stood at the door and shouted several times one after another, but Shangguan Ningxuan still didn't open the door.

In this regard, she could only give up and turn back.

After a while, she came to Wang Mang's room and talked to Wang Mang.

After Wang Mang heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "I guess Ning Xuan must be angry with me, and then you are also affected by me, so Ning Xuan won't let you continue to stay with her." ”

Wang Jingyan nodded, thinking that it was very likely to be the case, and then asked: "Xianggong, sister-in-law is actually very talkative." I think you'd better go talk to her.

Maybe as soon as you say it, her anger will disappear. Also, you have a lot of ideas, so hurry up and think of a way to coax her. My sister-in-law said that she would go back to Qingzhou tomorrow. After she leaves, even if you want to say something, I'm afraid it's too late. I see that you don't seem to have apologized to your sister-in-law from beginning to end. Even if Ning Xuan wants to forgive you in her heart, she can't say it. ”

"I'm going to talk to Ning Xuan? I'm afraid I won't even be able to get through the door. ”

Wang Mang smiled bitterly: "Jingyan, Ning Xuan is willing to come back this time, most of the reason is because of you and your mother." If it weren't for you, where would she have come? Also, the timing is not right, and when the time is right, I will naturally talk to her. It was you who caused you to hide and lie to my mother for me during the day, and intercede for me at night. ”

Wang Jingyan said helplessly: "If I'm not like this, what else can I do?" It's all your fault, it's okay for you to make any mistake, why do you want to make that mistake? Fortunately, there is an explanation for the matter now, and my sister-in-law will not trouble you for the time being. You need to be careful now, and don't mess around again. Otherwise, my sister-in-law can't see it, and maybe she really wants to kill you. ”

"I know that." Wang Mang put his arms around her and lay down on her side facing each other, "Jingyan, you can't worry too much about things now." so as not to feel unwell. During this time, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, and I will be measured in other things. ”

Wang Jingyan nodded yes and chuckled: "Xianggong, do you say that our first child is a boy or a girl?" Have you thought of a name or something? ”

"Men and women? Name? ”

Wang Mang frowned slightly, thought of the historical situation, and replied: "It should be a daughter, is it a name, just called Wang Yan." ”

"Why, I don't want it, I want to give you a son first." Wang Jingyan muttered.

"You're patriarchal, aren't sons and daughters the same? It's all our children anyway. This bad thinking of yours has to be changed. Wang Mang listened to her abdomen for a while, and did not continue to talk to her about these things, and slowly fell asleep.

---

At the moment, there was nothing to do for more than 20 days, and Wang Mang spent it in plain and harmonious life.

During this time, except for Huo Rongsheng sending him a secret letter, there was no other foreign affairs.

Until the fiftieth day, at noon on this day, Wang Mang routinely listened to Wang Jingyan's chatter.

Wang Jingyan handed a bowl of bird's nest porridge in his hand to Wang Mang, puffed out his mouth and said, "You drank it for me." ”

Wang Mang shook his head and said, "How can this work, this is specially concocted by my mother for you." ”

Wang Jingyan said: "My mother let me eat these things every day, look at me, in just a few dozen days, what have I become fat?" ”

"Mother isn't this to make you have a better baby? You have to understand. Wang Mang said with a smile.

"Even so, if you eat five or six times a day, where can you eat? Xianggong, you stand in the way for me first, and I promise not to tell my mother. You forgot, I was hiding things for you some time ago, and now it's time for you to repay my kindness. Wang Jingyan replied.

In just 50 days, she has increased from about 90 catties to about 120 catties. In this regard, she deeply felt that her bloated figure affected her appearance, and she was unhappy for a while.

In addition, pregnant women during this period generally have greater mood swings, and she just happened to play at this moment.

Wang Mang was about to say something, and at this time, a small soldier came to report: "Lord Qiqi Wang, Mr. Gongsun has led the people through the border of Qingzhou smoothly, arrived at the southern prefecture and county of Liaoning, and joined Young Master Huo Rongsheng. Mr. Gongsun, may I ask what you should do now? ”

"Oh? They've finally arrived? Wang Mang was overjoyed, "You go back and tell Gongsun Ce, just say that after a while, I will go." You asked him to fully cooperate with Huo Rongsheng, continue to reclaim wasteland, train soldiers and horses, stabilize the local people's hearts, and absolutely not provoke external wars. ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they left the hall and headed for Liaoning.

Seeing this, Wang Jingyan didn't have the time to let Wang Mang drink the bird's nest porridge for herself, but hurriedly asked, "Xianggong, when are you going there?" Are you going to go recently? ”

"I planned to do so at the beginning, but you are pregnant, and it is only less than two months before you give birth, where can I leave you and go to Liaoning at this time? When the baby was born, our family went over. ”

Wang Mang said abruptly: "Quiet smoke, people's hearts are complicated, and the world is unpredictable. Sometimes, plans really can't keep up with changes. In the past fifty days, you may not have changed in the unexpected world, but I have been watching closely. Do you remember the day when I said I was going to give the two counties away?

My uncle always thought that this place was the result of the bloody battle between my father and my eldest brother, and he himself had been in charge for more than ten years, treating the six counties as his own children, and he was reluctant to cede them. At that time, because of his mother's face, his uncle had to agree.

The land of the six counties of Yuzhou is surrounded by strong enemies on three sides, southeast and west, and the sea is located in the north. Therefore, this place can only be used as a temporary place to garrison, not as a foundation for development, otherwise there will be a great disaster, and it will be difficult to last.

It's a pity that my uncle only cares about his emotions and ignores it. In recent days, many generals in the army have complained that we should not cede our land.

The uncle heard the general's words, and he didn't want to cede it himself, so the uncle was also swaying. Don't you see that some of the servants and maids here are a little unsightly? I'm sure if I really started to carry out the plan, my uncle would have to go back on it. We may even be kicked out. ”

"It won't be!" Wang Jingyan exclaimed: "Uncle is very good to us, how could he do such a thing?" Xianggong, you don't have to be suspicious, lest you lose all your feelings. Also, my uncle has been here for you for more than ten years, and he has not been independent. But as soon as you came, he returned the six counties to you, which shows the sincerity of your uncle. ”

"It's that simple." Wang Mang sighed: "My uncle is very good to me and my mother, I naturally know. If I don't cede the land, my uncle will surely still serve me as the lord of the land. In other words, even if I really ceded it, my uncle would not embarrass me.

However, his generals don't think so. If it's really time to cut the soil, even if my uncle doesn't do anything to us, those generals will have to do it. People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. If you don't believe me, you can take a closer look at the servants around you. Even, you can observe the uncle.

Uncle is in a contradiction at the moment, on the one hand, family affection, and on the other hand, life and death affection. When the soldiers do it themselves, we will plan again, and I am afraid it will be too late.

Now that my uncle has a clear will not to cede the two counties, then I will fulfill him and give him all six counties, which can be regarded as repaying my uncle for taking care of us for many years. ”
