Chapter 080: The Great War is Imminent
Although Qi has been pregnant for more than three months, she is getting thinner and thinner due to severe morning sickness, and she wears heavy clothes in winter, so she has not yet shown her pregnancy.
When Huang Yi'an arrived at the Grange, Qi was wearing an indigo-colored homely skirt and sitting on a rattan chair under the big locust tree in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
Huang Yining was lying on her lap, looking up and smiling and not knowing what to say, which made Qi laugh too.
The mother and daughter snuggled and whispered, peaceful and peaceful.
Hearing the sound, the mother and daughter looked out of the courtyard together, and when they saw that it was Wang and Yi'an, they all smiled and stood up to greet them.
"Brother and sister, don't move, sit down and rest." Wang hurriedly stepped forward, helped Qi to sit down again on the rattan chair with cotton pads, and said, "The family is polite." You are no more careful now than you were before. ”
Qi smiled embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I'm just pregnant, and it's not that I can't move my hands and feet, so you don't have to be so nervous." ”
Wang disagreed, and said, "Don't think that morning sickness is not so bad now, so don't take it to heart." You are now twenty-eight years old, no more than when you were younger, and you have been separated from Brother Liang for more than seven years, so you have to be careful in everything. ”
Qi was taught.
Wang didn't see Huang Lun at home, so he asked, "The second brother is not at home at this time, where did he go?" ”
Qi said with a smile: "There was a heavy snow before, and some tenants' houses were crushed by the snow, and it was not a sunny day, so he went to see if there was anything that could help." ”
Wang smiled and praised: "Your husband and wife are kind-hearted, which is the blessing of those tenants. ”
Qi said with a smile: "Most of the tenants are the people who rented the land when their father and mother were alive, and everyone has been together for a long time, and their affection is also deep. If you can help, you can help, and you can think of it as a blessing for the children. ”
There will be afterglow in the house of goodness, and there will be aftermath in the house of inadequacy.
Wang nodded with a smile, looked at Qi's unconceived belly, and said with a smile: "This one will be born in the future, and he will also be blessed." ”
……
At noon, Huang Lun came back.
Huang Yi'an and Huang Yining had already prepared lunch, and when they saw Huang Lun coming back, they hurriedly set the meal.
Huang Lun saw it and praised with a smile: "Good boy! ”
As he spoke, he took out a handful of dates from his pocket, gave them to the two sisters, and said with a smile: "The tenant gave it very sweet, you can taste it." ”
Huang Liang came over, took advantage of the unpreparedness, quickly grabbed a handful of dates, swooped to the corner, and smiled proudly at Huang Yining.
Huang Yining immediately chased after him and wanted to pull his ears.
The two sisters and brothers chased around the dinner table, shouting and shouting.
Seeing this, Qi Shi stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, sighed, and worried: "The two children are so naughty, if there is another one, how can I get it......"
Huang Yi'an smiled: "Second aunt don't worry, the third brother is a well-behaved and sensible child." ”
Huang Lun laughed and said, "How do you know it's a younger brother and not a younger sister?" ”
Huang Yi'an knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly coquettishly mixed up: "I just know!" ”
The pretty appearance of the scoundrel made everyone laugh.
Huang Liang hurriedly took the dates and handed them to Qi, and said with a grin: "Give it to my brother!" ”
Seeing that his son was so sensible, the sorrow on his face was suddenly swept away, and he reached out to eat dates with a smile on his face.
"Wait a minute. The dates have not been washed. I'll wash it before you eat it. Huang Yining said, hurriedly took the dates from Huang Liang's hand, took them to the stove room to wash, and put them in front of Qi's family.
Wang smiled: "Where is the child not naughty." Sister Ning and Brother Liang are so sensible and filial, which is a blessing for their younger siblings. ”
Qi nodded with a smile on his face, and the hand covering his lower abdomen became softer and gentler.
After lunch, Wang accompanied Qi to talk, and Huang Yi'an asked Huang Lun to talk about going to the northwest to plant cotton.
Zhang Xi helped inquire about the situation, Huang Yi'an had already informed Huang Lun earlier, so Huang Lun couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that Huang Yi'an still decided to buy land in the northwest to grow cotton, and asked: "Didn't you say that Gaochang long-staple cotton is not planted in the northwest region?" ”
Huang Yi'an nodded and said, "That's why I decided to try to get some long-staple cotton seeds." If it is suitable, buy a large area of land for planting. ”
When the matter came, Huang Lun retreated.
"Gao Changguo is now invading the border, and the seeds of long-staple cotton are not easy to obtain." Huang Lun said in a deep voice, "Besides, now that the border situation is urgent, it is too risky to buy land and try planting now." ”
Huang Yi'an knew that the border would soon regain stability, but he couldn't tell Huang Lunming, so he had to say: "With the British duke, there will be no chaos at the border." ”
Huang Lun was quite hesitant and said: "But even so, if Gao Changguo's long-staple cotton can't survive or produce high yield in the Guannei, wouldn't it be a waste of time?" ”
When Huang Yi'an heard this, he looked over in surprise.
Could it be that at first, he only listened to the words of the merchant from the northwest, and decided to go to the northwest to investigate and try the seeds, so he didn't take the risk?
What's more, there is so much news that Zhang Xi has helped to inquire about.
Huang Lun understood what Huang Yi'an meant, gritted his teeth, and sighed: "Second uncle, let's be honest with you." It's not that the second uncle is unwilling to try to plant cotton in the northwest, but you have also seen that in the situation of your second aunt, the second uncle is really not at ease to go away......"
Since Qi's pregnancy, she first had morning sickness and couldn't eat, and she quickly lost weight; Now I finally vomit less badly, but my mood has changed greatly, one moment I am still laughing, and the next moment I can cry for something I don't know.
There are two children at home, Sister Ning is quite caring and steady, but Brother Liang is a leather monkey who does not open the roof for three days.
This family, how can he leave with confidence.
The northwest is not a suburb of Beijing, he can come and go in one day, and he can take care of anything at home in time. The northwest is thousands of miles away from the capital, and if something happens to the family, it is useless for him to be in a hurry outside......
Huang Yi'an smiled: "It turned out to be for this matter." The second uncle doesn't need to go to the northwest in person, just send someone to go. ”
Huang Lun shook his head and sighed: "At this time, it is not easy to send people to the northwest to try to plant long-staple cotton......
No one wants to put their lives on the line for a reward.
Huang Yi'an didn't urge, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then wait and see." ”
After a while, the northwest border was stabilized, and the problem was solved.
……
But Huang Yi'an didn't expect that the situation on the border in this life would change dramatically.
In November, the battle report came from the Pegasus of Jiayuguan.
The third prince of Gaochang Kingdom, Crimea, gathered heavy troops on the border and was ready for war at any time.
When the news came, Juchao was shocked.
The main defenders said that it was because the emperor did not issue an edict in time to order the British duke to hold out, which led to frequent battles between the two sides, and finally caused today's catastrophe.
The main battle faction said that it was because the main defender faction blindly avoided concessions and fueled the enemy's arrogance that the Crimean dared to defy the Great Qi and gather heavy troops to start a war.
In short, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the court, which has not yet been quiet, is getting hotter and hotter.
In the Qianqing Palace, Qi Yu stood in the deep darkness, only to feel that the surrounding oppression was so oppressive that he could barely breathe.
What went wrong in the end, so that instead of being ambushed and afraid, Krimu became more and more confident?
Could it be that he really did something wrong?
In the dark palace, there was silence, and no one answered.
Only the night wind slaps on the doors and windows from time to time, making a piercing and frightening sound.
