The autumn forced the dark insects to sound at night, and the clothes were not sent to Mo Feishuang.
Thousands of miles away, where does the sound of the piano come from? Jingshan Palace, the flowers fall silently.
The residual lotus in the pond is yellowish, and the roses on the south wall are withered. This cold scene tells people that the unbearable midsummer has finally passed.
But for the women in the garden, the loneliness and lovesickness in autumn are the most painful.
Since Qin Lei set out on the expedition, they have lived in a building, doing some female celebrity and writing and painting together during the day, and when they talk and accompany them, they just don't want to stay alone...... Because Fang Xin has been taken thousands of miles away by that man, there is only a bitter wait.
Waiting for the battle report from the front, waiting for his letter, waiting for him to go home......
Compared with the latter two, the battle report on the front line is more reliable, and there will always be one every three days. This three-day cycle has also become a barometer of the ups and downs of the women's mood: the day before the war report day, the girls in the garden began to feel uneasy, playing the piano out of tune, embroidering and pricking their hands, unable to eat or sleep.
You have to report to the next day's battle and know that the man is safe and sound, so that you can relax and sleep soundly. After another day of smooth days, it ushered in another anxious wait, and the cycle began again and again.
They scrutinized each battle report word by word, and also asked Yongfu to go to Mr. Le to ask for a complete map of Huaxia, cover Wang Youcheng's 'Lantian Smoke and Rain Map', and began to study where Luo Shuiyuan is, where is Hangu Pass, and where is Tiger Prison Pass?
They didn't want to know how many victories the Great Qin army had won, nor did they want to know how many feats he had made, the women just wanted to see if he had been doing well recently, and whether he had encountered danger from those few words.
At first, life was relatively good, because the army was victorious, and Qin Lei was protected by heavy troops, and the women were not very worried about his safety. discussed more about whether he had eaten and dressed well, whether he was sick and tired, and even occasionally teased a few words, saying whether he had seen wild flowers on the side of the road...... Of course, no one can say such a thing except Yunluo.
But when the laurel tree was fragrant, the men crossed the border with the Great Qin army and went deep into the hinterland of the Qi country, and the girls' hearts were completely pinched, and even Yun Luo was in no mood to make any jokes anymore. Although they hadn't read any military books, they also knew that Lang Jun had entered a dangerous place, and his situation was becoming more and more dangerous.
What is even more disturbing is that after the little tiger on the map crossed the Yellow River, the military report, which was originally once every three days, never came...... asked Yongfu to ask Mr. Le, and he just pushed what he said, 'Going deep into enemy territory, communication is inconvenient, and the message transmission is naturally slower.' Something like that, when you hear it, it's prevaricating.
When several girls were restless, Mrs. Li sent someone to visit Shiyun.
After a greeting of greetings, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion asked for his wife: "It is rumored in Beijing that our army has been ambushed and hundreds of thousands of troops have been wiped out, is there really such a thing?" ”
Shiyun's body trembled slightly, and then returned to normal, and said calmly: "Tell my mother, don't listen to those crazy words, my prince wrote the day before yesterday and said, 'Everything is normal.'" ’”
The old butler was obviously relieved and said, "What the eldest lady said is definitely true." Saying that, he said indignantly: "I don't know who is so lacking in morality, spreading a rumor all over the city, and there is a ...... with a nose and eyes."
"What did you say?" Shi Yunxiang asked casually: "Look at the mother is nervous." ”
"What are you talking about, the whole army has been wiped out, Your Majesty has been captured, the whereabouts of the captain are unknown, and more than ten generals under the prince are all ......" The old butler said and slapped his mouth and said: "Bah, look at my mouth!" ”
With a gentle smile, Shiyun said softly: "The rumors stop at the wise, I won't care." The old housekeeper wanted to talk a few words, but when he saw the eldest lady talking about sexual deficiencies, he stopped talking interestingly, got up and retired.
The old butler was gone for a long time, but Shiyun still sat there motionless...... Although it is said that 'gossip stops at the wise', there is also a saying that 'concern is chaos'. As soon as she heard the old housekeeper say the words 'the army is destroyed', Shiyun's heart was suddenly confused, and then she thought that she had not received the battle report for several days, and Mr. Guantao and Le were also distracted, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became!
But until she gets definite news, she must not panic or mess around!
Because on the day of the expedition, the prince finally said to her: "I am very relieved to have you in this family." "Even if it's just for this entrustment, she has to stabilize this home for him, and everything in this family!
After sitting silently for a while, thinking about things, Shiyun took a deep breath and tried her best to return to calm, only then did she see that the brocade beside her had burst into tears. Although she is married, she is still waiting by the young lady's side.
Sighing lightly, Shiyun said softly: "Don't cry, everything is just a rumor, the prince and Shi Kang will be fine." ”
Jinwen wiped her tears, nodded and sobbed: "The slave knows ......" but asked as if he was stunned: "Is it really okay?" ”
Shi Yunqiang smiled: "When did I say I missed it?" Jinwen stopped his mouth at this time, and said with red eyes: "The slave is really not angry. ”
Shiyun shook her head and said softly, "My mood is not easier than yours, but we can't show it." ”
Jinwen glanced at the garden knowingly, nodded and said, "The slave won't." But Qi Rong on his face couldn't hold it back.
Shiyun knew that Jinwen was a girl without a city government, and she no longer had the luxury of expecting her to be casual, so she sighed again and said softly: "There are many officials in Jingshan City, and Mr. Guantao has mentioned it a few times, hoping that I can set up the weaving bureau of the palace, and there is a charter channel to supply them with gouache skirts or something." ”
Brocade's eyes flashed with tears, and she didn't know what the young lady meant by this.
Looking at her deeply, Shiyun said softly, "I mean to let you ...... this errand next"
Jinwen opened his mouth widely, and said with a shudder: "Miss, you don't want me anymore?" ”
Shiyun patted her hand and said, "The Weaving Bureau is not on an errand, but it receives some gouache skirts from the Government Affairs Temple at the end of each month, and then distributes them to the ladies at the beginning of the month." The CCP can't be busy for a few days, so I won't delay you coming into the house to talk to me......"
"You still want to take me away......" Jinwen said with a crying voice.
Shiyun shook her head slightly and said, "Silly girl, you are already married, and it stands to reason that you should have set up your own door a long time ago." ”
Jinwen cried and cried for a while, but Shiyun sat there and stopped talking, so she had to stop crying and choked up: "Miss, when do you want the slave to leave?" ”
"Now." Shiyun still whispered: "You go back to your mother's house in Beijing for a while, and then go on an errand in ten days and half a month." ”
"Ah......" Jinwen's head was blank, nodded woodenly, and said sadly: "The slave will go and clean up the things." ”
"No need." Shiyun said softly: "Use the one in your new house, and it's not too late to clean up here in a few days." Seeing her miserable appearance, Shiyun finally couldn't bear to whisper: "There are people in the garden who can't be disturbed." ”
Jinwen finally suddenly said embarrassedly: "The slave and maid understand...... and then got up and said goodbye, and left step by step.
Looking at the back of Jinwen's departure, Shiyun felt very uncomfortable, after all, she was a sister who grew up with her, how could she be willing to separate?
But the brocade must go, because poetry needs to be foolproof.
After sitting for a while, she got up and walked to the door, and said to the palace maid standing under the eaves: "Invite Manager Huang to the Huxin Pavilion." ”
After a while, Huang Zhao arrived in a hurry, although he had grown a lot of style over the years, but in front of the main mother, he still restrained a little bit.
Shiyun sat on the brocade pier in the pavilion, and the scenery around her could be seen at a glance, but the residual lotus in her eyes could only make people feel melancholy, so she looked at Huang Zhao without squinting and said, "Manager Huang, what rumors have been in the city recently?" ”
Although young and beautiful, Shiyun's phoenix eyes are not angry and self-threatening, and they are penetrating, so Huang Zhao does not dare to be contemptuous, and asks Xiaoyi: "What is Niangniang asking?" ”
"Vazi." Shiyun said lightly.
"This ......" Huang Zhao pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no accurate belief in the mess, everything is said." ”
Generally, it takes two or three days for rumors to spread from Jingli to Jingshan City. But by the time the city is full of wind and rain, some words will be too late. After a little silence, Shiyun concisely told Huang Zhao the news from her mother's family, so that the chief manager could understand in his heart, how could he take it as a top priority?
Huang Zhao was startled at first, but seeing that the young master mother was so calm, he was not very flustered, and swallowed and foamed: "What do you want the slave to do?" Mother, you just command. ”
Shiyun said softly: "As long as the military department doesn't confirm it for a day, these words are rumors." ”
"The slave knows." Huang Zhao nodded and said obediently: "Which dead hoof below dares to talk nonsense, and the slave will tear his mouth apart." ”
Shiyun said: "Especially can't let Si Niangniang know, absolutely not!" ”
Huang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the slave will discipline those little hooves." ”
Shiyun got up and said, "I heard a word in the garden, and I asked for you." ”
Huang Zhao said awe-inspiringly: "The slave maid has made a military order, if it reaches the ears of the fourth princess, a little nonsense will be plucked off and kicked as a ball." ”
Shiyun nodded, then left the Huxin Pavilion and walked towards the embroidery building where she lived.
As soon as I walked to the bottom of the embroidery building, I was facing Yun Luo coming out of it.
As soon as she saw Shiyun, Yunluo jumped over, grabbed Shiyun's arm and said, "Sister, I was looking for you." ”
Shiyun stretched out her hand to straighten the bangs on her forehead, and smiled: "What's the matter?" ”
"I heard that the maple leaves in Lishan are very beautiful, and I want to take a look." Yun Luo said with a cute face.
Shiyun shook her head and smiled: "Now the frost is still falling, and the maple leaves are green." ”
Twisting her body like a kitten, Yun Luo begged in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, I can't wait for a quasi-letter all day long, people are annoyed, good sister, let me go out for a walk." ”
"It's really boring to panic." Shiyun nodded her little Qiong's nose and smiled dotingly: "When are you going?" Just in case, she wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she was a little overkill, so she changed her mind and agreed.
"Shall we leave tomorrow?" Yun Luo said happily: "Let's go together with the four of us!" ”
Shiyun shook her head and smiled: "You and Yongfu go." You Ruolan sister can't go, she has to be raised at home. ”
Yun Luo nodded obediently and said, "I know, she wants to focus on protection!" Saying that, he tilted his head and asked, "Then why don't you go, eldest sister?" ”
Shiyun said in her heart: 'How can I be in the mood. He tugged at her nose lovingly and said, "I want to accompany your sister Ruolan, how bad it is to leave her alone at home." ”
"Then I'm not going either." Yun Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and her face was full of righteousness.
Shiyun glared at her angrily, and said with a straight face: "This is what you said?" ”
Yun Luo's black and white eyes rolled a few times, and he said with a sneer: "When I didn't say ......" After speaking, he let go of the poem, slipped out of the distance like a fish, and dropped a sentence: "I'll go to Yongfu to talk about it." And he disappeared without a trace.
With a helpless smile, Shiyun moved the lotus step lightly, slightly raised the corner of the skirt, and entered the embroidery building.
Shiyun went up to the second floor, but instead of going back to her room, she went into Ruolan's bedroom next door.
The door is ajar, and you can see that the decoration of the room is warm and elegant, and there are a few pots of Ruolan's favorite orchids, which are even more noble and full of vitality.
The afternoon sun shines through the glass windows, creating a colorful and beautiful color that is charming but not dazzling. There is also a small incense burner with brass burnwork on the table, and a faint green smoke seeps out of the pattern, exuding the tranquil scent of soothing incense.
Ruolan was wearing a comfortable and loose Luo skirt, and was quietly leaning on the head of the bed to make some female red. These days, the women in the mansion have lost weight, only she is not fat, but she seems to be plump...... The pointed chin has become rounded.
Hearing the knock on the door, Ruolan looked up and saw Shiyun standing at the door looking at her with a smile.
Hiding the work in her hand under the pillow, Ruolan got up and greeted her, "Sister, come in." ”
As soon as she got up, Shiyun said repeatedly: "You just sit, don't get up." Then he walked over quickly, and sat down again with the Ruolan girl who had just stood up. She also sat down on the edge of Ruolan's bed, took Ruolan's cold little hand and said, "Didn't you let them light the charcoal stove?" Why are your hands still so cold? ”
Seeing that the princess was so nervous, Ruolan only said that she had a deep sisterhood, and she didn't think about it anywhere else, and smiled gratefully: "Sister, don't be nervous, the doctor said that cold hands and feet are a normal reaction of the body, but in fact, the room is quite hot." ”
Shiyun nodded, and then changed her words and said, "I see that you just did the work?" Don't be tired. ”
"The doctor said that it has only been three months, and it will not affect the normal work." Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled, "What's wrong with my sister today?" I've never seen you so nervous. ”
Yes, Ruolan is pregnant, in other words, Qin Lei will be a father in half a year. Of course, the women in the garden only knew about a month, but Qin Lei didn't know yet.
In other words, Qin Lei is not a junior brother anymore, it has been three years since the first time he and Ruolan 'came in a hurry with the spring tide and rain at night', and the reason why it has only blossomed and borne fruit until now is that he is so busy that he hits the back of his head all day and does not have so much time to hehe. More importantly, the Great Qin royal family stipulates that since the emperor, all princes and princes must be crowned before they can marry their wives.
And the Great Qin Law also stipulates that a man is not allowed to take a concubine before marrying a wife. When the two laws are combined, a third rule is derived: 'If a man has children before marriage, he shall be regarded as illegitimate children.' The translation is: You must not have children before marrying a wife, otherwise you will be considered illegitimate children.
Bastard children were not honorable at that time, not only did they have a bad reputation, but they could not enter the ancestral hall.
It's not enough to have a reputation, but this 'can't enter the ancestral hall' can ruin a person's life.
You must know that at any time, residents must have a household registration, and only with a household registration can they study and become an official, or become a soldier and fight hard for themselves and the country. Although this matter is under the control of local county-level administrative agencies, if you want to get a household registration, you need a birth certificate...... At the time, this thing belonged to the patriarch.
If you can't enter the ancestral hall, you won't be counted as a member of this family, and the patriarch will naturally not give a certificate, and then you can't get a household registration, you can't study, you can't be a soldier, you can't go to other places even if you do a business, why? When you go out, you need to use a road guide, that is, an ID card......
Although Qin Lei seemed to be the patriarch of the Qin clan, he couldn't break the rules. As a person with a vested interest, it is within his duty to surround the existing rules. To trample on or to override it is the most foolish form of self-destruction.
So it wasn't until he got married that he didn't use technical means and began to let things take his course.
As a result, I was hit......
Only then did Shiyun notice her gaffe, and said with a disguised smile: "This is the first generation of our family, can I not be nervous?" As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Ruolan's relatively flat lower abdomen, and the envy on his face couldn't be hidden.
"When the prince comes back, my sister will have this day." The empathetic Ruolan smiled.
If she had heard this earlier, Shiyun would have blushed and would have been busy diverting the topic, but today she was obviously different, and smiled slightly: "I hope so." Said with a solemn face: "In the future, in the future, we must protect the children of the ** now!" ”
"I don't know what happened to the prince?" At this time, women are especially easy to think of 'child and father'.
Shiyun's heart trembled, and she said with a smile: "I just came to Jingli, and I said that our Daqin has won another great victory, according to this posture, the snow will come back soon." As he spoke, he held Ruolan's little hand tightly and said, "It will definitely be before the baby is born!" After a pause, he said in a deep voice as if autosuggesting: "Definitely! ”
