Ruo Shu wanted to mention the delusional things of the old lady today, but seeing Qin Daochuan, who was sitting opposite and eating noodles, still sleepy, and thinking about the current situation, he couldn't open his mouth, thinking that this time is different from the past, as long as she refuses, the old lady will not help her, so she will not mention it again.

The two of them slept on the bed, Qin Daochuan didn't say what he was busy with recently, as long as Ruoshu was careful when he went in and out, after all, this was the territory of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he fell asleep after saying a few words.

It didn't take long for King Jing to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne and become emperor, which was naturally echoed by the kings of Beijun. When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they were extremely angry, and sent the rebellious document to all parts of the country, calling on the whole country to unite as one, to hate the enemy, and to kill the rebels and their comrades, but somehow, the effect was not significant, and it seemed that everyone tacitly remained silent and watched.

The rebel army of the imperial court, which had always been victorious, somehow lost several cities after King Jing ascended the throne. King Jing and the soldiers of the North County were divided into two routes, King Jing went straight to the capital, and the North County concentrated on attacking the East County.

The Nine Emperors had no choice but to issue a holy decree asking the border garrisons in the southeast, northwest and southeast to send additional men and horses to block the troops of King Jing and Beijun.

No one in the garrison disobeyed, but with little effect, in less than two months, King Jing actually pressed the border with a large army, the capital was in danger, and the eastern county was also occupied by the people and horses of the northern county occupied nearly half of the territory.

These people are fighting for the throne, but they have suffered from businessmen like Ruoshu, not to mention that the business is gone, and they will be forcibly expropriated for money and food.

After the old lady mentioned that day that she wanted to raise Zhongyuan, she didn't mention it again. Ruo Shu only let people close the door of the courtyard, and easily did not let Zhongyuan go out, the little baby who was about three years old, the happiest thing every day was to go to Qin Daochuan's practice room to play with Qin An, but now that he was grounded, he was a little crying.

These children are not afraid of Qin Daochuan, but they are all a little afraid of Ruoshu, Ruoshu was tired of hearing it, got up from the study, and as soon as he stood out, Zhongyuan turned his head and went into his house when he saw her figure, and his crying was quiet.

If you are comfortable, you will not pay attention to it.

Du Jiuqi's secret letter also mentioned that the road is getting more and more difficult to walk, and the number of places to be checked is increasing more and more, not to mention the time-consuming, and there is a lot more money to be counted.

If Shu Bai couldn't figure it out and had no way out, he thought about looking at the map of the Eastern Continent, and wondered if he should close some of the shops first and reopen them after the situation stabilized.

Looking at it, I had some thoughts in my heart, they were fighting for the city, so the official roads and even the important rural roads had set up checkpoints.

But the boat is as usual, the reason is also easy to understand, except for Shu County, Southwest County and some remote cities, all the counties in the Eastern Continent have been opened to the official road, this merit should be counted on the current emperor, the emperor ascended the throne in the early days, also helped the people's livelihood, not only rebuilt and widened many official roads, and even built a lot of new official roads, so that the Eastern Continent from east to west, from south to north, between the county government and the county government can be reached in only ten days. Therefore, people often prefer land transportation when traveling, and cargo transportation is very advantageous.

Since the land route is not passable, then take the water route. Ruo Shu wrote to several of the top ten shopkeepers to inform him of his thoughts and asked them what they thought.

Before waiting for the reply from the major shopkeepers, Ruoshu was in labor in advance, Lan Zhi hurriedly went to find Xu Qiantong, when Xu Qiantong came, the child had already landed, Xu Qiantong looked at Ruoshu and the child, and said to Lan Zhi: "The mother and child are safe, the child was born prematurely, you have taken care of the fifth lady in the house, it should not be difficult, Mrs. Everything is fine, just recuperate as usual." ”

After speaking, he was going to leave, walked two steps, turned back, and saw that there was no one beside Lan Zhi, and said in a low voice: "This time it was entrusted by Qin Daochuan, and I have promised." Tell your wife that I don't need to thank you for the heavy gifts, I can't stand sending them every once in a while. ”

When Lan Zhi heard this, she stammered a little, and said hesitantly: "I, our lady is kind." Besides, it is a matter of course that Imperial Doctor Xu doesn't have to mind. Madame, Madame is also a kind heart. ”

Xu Qiantong continued: "I know that my wife has a lot of money, but now, I don't need these medicinal materials," hesitated for a while, and said, "My mother passed away last month. ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Lan Zhi listened, was a little flustered, stepped on his heels and followed, Xu Qiantong walked to the door of the right courtyard, remembered that the medical box was not taken, turned around, and almost collided with Lan Zhi, Lan Zhi hurriedly avoided it, waiting aside, Xu Qiantong saw the medicine box she was carrying, and said, "Please also ask the girl to return the medicine box to me." ”

Lan Zhi reacted and handed it over.

After Xu Wutong took it, he said, "There is a consultation fee in the medicine box again, right?" ”

Lan Zhi nodded, and Xu Qiantong continued: "Then I won't refuse, but there is really no need to send any more medicinal materials." I don't have a lot of effort, and I can't afford it. ”

Lan Zhi suddenly raised her head, looked at him and said: "Imperial Doctor Xu and we have a life-saving grace, great grace is not grateful, if Imperial Doctor Xu is not satisfied with the medicinal materials sent before, blame Lan Zhi is, Mrs. just explained, the medicinal materials were selected by Lan Zhi." ”

Xu Qiantong turned his head and sighed, and said, "I'll say it one last time, don't give me a generous gift under the pretext of asking for medicine for my wife." Before, my mother really needed it, so although I was ashamed of it, I still accepted it. Nowadays, it is no longer needed. ”

Lan Zhi said with concern: "The old lady has ascended to the immortal realm, and the imperial doctor Xu wants to mourn." ”

Xu Qiantong replied: "Thank you, girl, I have resigned from the errand of the imperial doctor and am ready to go to Yunyou." The girl does not have to go to the medicine garden in the future, there are only the children who guard the garden, and they will not consult the doctor. ”

Lan Zhi asked, "I wonder when Dr. Xu will return?" ”

Xu Qiantong replied: "I don't know yet, I'll meet again." After that, he lingered no more.

Lan Zhi stood in front of the gate of the right courtyard, looking at the back of Xu Qiantong leaving, and did not return to the courtyard until Xia Cha called her.

Qin Daochuan has not come back since he left, and the letter has stopped. The birth of the seventh son, Ruoshu did not write to inform him, thinking that whether it was the old lady or the guard in the front yard, he would naturally say.

This child Ruoshu was going to name him Zhongli, so that he could respond to the previous tone.

Because of the premature birth of half a month, the child was a little delicate, but fortunately, two nurses were prepared in advance, and they were held in their hands day and night, so that they could have a moment of peace.

Because he wanted to make room for the soon-to-be born child to live, the fourth son Zhongqi had moved to the backyard half a month ago, although he had prepared a yard for him, Ruoshu was not at ease, so he asked him to live in a courtyard with the third son Zhonglan, and told Zhonglan to take good care of it, and if there was something to come to the right courtyard to report, Zhonglan came to take kind care of his younger brothers and sisters, and took care of Zhongqi It is also good, Ruoshu observed for a few days and put his mind at ease.

Half a month after giving birth, Ruoshu received a letter from Qin Daochuan, in which he mentioned that he was now in Dongjun, but said that he was not trapped and asked Ruoshu not to worry. also named the child, saying that he had thought about it before, and called it Zhongli, taking the meaning of not leaving for a moment, Ruoshu looked at the name on the paper, and was stunned for a long time, after being married for so many years, the first tacit understanding between the couple should be here.
