Xiao Yu'er was caught off guard by a pair of cold little hands holding her arms, which were as cold as ice cubes in the ice cellar, and she immediately shivered.

Xiao Yu'er is completely sober now, and she is also very angry, and she is about to spank her when she catches Changqi over. Changqi naturally didn't follow, she struggled with laughter, hiding left and right and almost kicked the low cabinet at the head of the bed. The two sisters had a good quarrel, and only when the maid outside called them for breakfast, did they begin to clean up their messy clothes.

This is the first snow of the year in Minzhou, and the snow is so heavy that in the morning, the snowflakes are as deep as the little finger knots on the plots that have not been cleaned.

When Xiao Yu'er and Changqi went to Jinniang's yard, Xiao Yu'er said worriedly, "It's freezing this day, and Daddy is going to suffer." ”

Changqi didn't speak, but her little head kept nodding. Isn't Daddy guilty, everyone else is sleeping under the bed at night, but he, the governor of Liangjiang, wants to run to the enemy camp to assassinate him. This is also to meet her, and I helped a lot by the side, otherwise Daddy's action last night would definitely not have gone so smoothly.

Thinking so in my heart, I don't dare to say these words, otherwise the consequences will really make people's scalps tingle just thinking about it.

Xiao Yu'er couldn't give up, so she didn't notice her sister's abnormality.

When the two sisters entered their mother's yard, they happened to meet Qinggu who was going out. Qinggu hurriedly saluted, and Xiao Yu'er and Changqi avoided half of their bodies. Aoya is an aunt who can be used by her mother's side, and her husband, Uncle Junhuhe, is also her father's right-hand man. For the elderly who can be used by their parents' side, the two sisters always have more respect.

"Aunt Aoya, what are you doing in such a panic? And this big package, with the clothes in it? ”

Qinggu was pulled up by Xiao Yu'er, and replied with a smile, "It's just a few sets of clothes for adults." It's snowing, it's really cold. Besides, the winter in Minzhou is very wet and cold, and the clothes can't be dried after washing for many days. The lady was worried that the adults had not changed their clothes, so she personally packed up and sent the slaves and maids to the outer courtyard to the Huhe, and let the Huhe send them to the adults. ”

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi hurriedly said, "Then you should go quickly, it's too cold this day, Daddy should get thick clothes early, and it is better to put them on early to avoid the cold." ”

Xiao Yu'er said again, "But it's not in a hurry, you let Uncle Huhe take the carriage, don't ride a horse." The cold wind was very strong, and it was snowing, and the road was slippery on snowy days, so be careful not to have an accident. ”

Qinggu hurriedly answered twice, and then said goodbye to Xiao Yu'er and Changqi, and went out with the two little maids to deliver the package.

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi entered the room and saw Jin Niang sitting in front of the dresser stunned. Hearing the voices of the two little girls calling her mother, Jinniang came back to her senses, and raised her hand to rub her temples, looking very sleepy and having a headache.

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi were worried, and Changqi asked her mother, "Is it cold, you are not feeling well, I will ask the doctor to go." ”

Jin Niang said, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't slept well in the past two nights, and I am half-asleep and half-awake, and I can always hear some chaotic movements." I don't know if that's real or if I've fancied it. ”

Changqi's heart immediately became weak, and her middle qi was insufficient, "Then, mother, what movement did you hear last night?" ”

"That's a lot to hear. I heard the maid talking, and I heard the door opening and closing, and footsteps, breathing, and all sorts of gimbled sounds. The point is that these voices are not in my yard, but in your yard, your three aunts' yards, including the movement in the front yard. ”

Jin Niang's speaker has no intention, but long-term listener has a heart.

Who made her feel weak, she felt that her mother was pointing at her every word.

But since my mother didn't say it clearly, she must be stable. Otherwise, maybe my mother just blew her up, and she confessed it herself.

Changqi was cranky, and Xiao Yu'er couldn't cry or laugh, saying to her mother, "If you want to listen, you can also hear your father's voice, what are you doing listening to the voices of those maids?" If you want me to say, you can't sleep well this night, you must have too much on your mind. "Xiao Yu'er almost didn't say it clearly, you don't think about my father's thoughts. But in the end, she is a human daughter, and those words that ridicule her mother can't be spoken.

But Xiao Yu'er knew in her heart that her mother was worried about her father's situation, so she couldn't sleep. But it wasn't a big deal, so she said, "Before you rest tonight, I'll ask Aunt Qingsui to light you with a soothing incense to ensure that you sleep well all night." ”

Jin Niang nodded her daughter's finger, "I'm still sleeping soundly, do you think your mother is a pig?" ”

"My mother is not a pig, if my mother is a pig, won't my sister and I become piglets? That's not possible, we're little beauties and want to be big beauties when we grow up."

The mother and daughter laughed, and the topic finally came to the situation outside. Jin Niang was distressed, "My mother got up early today, and I wanted to bring Huhe over to ask how the battle was going." But because of the snow, my mother thought about waiting for the Huhe River to send things over, and it was not too late to ask when I came back. It's just that it's freezing on this day, whether it's fighting a war or living in the office, your father has designated him to suffer. "Those places are designated as not having earth dragons, even braziers, who can take care of preparing now? Besides, Xu Erlang is not a person who is lazy about enjoyment, he has great ambitions and is ready to catch big fish, so he will not sit in the back and enjoy it. He was designated to be on the front line, so how much suffering he had to endure was really big to think about.

Changqi saw her mother's headache, so she wanted to tell her father about her situation first.

In her opinion, Dad is really good now. Judging from Daddy's mental state last night, Daddy's time should be pretty good. Although he looks a little thinner, it's really only a little bit. The important thing is that Dad is full of energy, full of energy when he speaks, and he is also extremely sharp when he works with people, which proves that Dad is in good shape now. Instead of worrying about her father, her mother should worry about herself. Don't wait until the time comes, my father came back well, but my mother fell down because of lovesickness.

But it was still the same sentence, in order not to help him, Changqi covered his mouth in time, and swallowed back the words that were about to be spit out in time.

Xiao Yu'er noticed her sister's ghostly appearance and glared at her, she just thought that Changqi had other thoughts and wanted to run to her father, but she knew that Changqi had already been there last night.

Don't talk about this, let's just say that Huhe has finally returned, and it also brings the latest news from Xu Erlang and the outside.

Zhao Meng, the former commander of the Minzhou Navy, has been ambushed, and several of the generals under him who rebelled with him have also died. Now that the 80,000 or 90,000 sailors have been gathered, they are ready to wait for the interrogation one by one and maintain the punishment before deciding where everyone will go.

These things were explained in a few words, but the shock left to Jinniang and Xiaoyuer was great.

"Zhao Meng, is this an ambush?"

Huhe nodded, "I heard that it was ...... last night" Huhe wanted to say that last night the adults led people to assassinate him, and things went smoothly, not only Zhao Meng died, but even several of his generals died cleanly. But these words can't be spoken, otherwise the lady and the second girl will not be greatly stimulated and faint.

Huhe changed his voice, "It's inappropriate to say that last night is inappropriate, it should be said that before dawn today, the adults swept the formation, and several sailor generals led the soldiers to outflank and encircle the rebellious soldiers." Due to the death of Zhao Meng and several generals, the camp was in chaos, and the soldiers were leaderless, and they quickly raised their hands and surrendered. ”

Huhe doesn't have much storytelling ability, and he tells things dryly. In the past, Jin Niang must have said a few words, but now she can take care of it.

Her ears were full of news of Zhao Meng's ambush and the peace of the war, and she couldn't jump on the spot a few times with excitement.

As the mother of the family, Jin Niang couldn't help but jump up on the spot, but Xiao Yu'er and Changqi didn't have to worry about these, the two sisters were so happy that they laughed happily.

The specific progress of things is not important, the process is not important, the result is the most important.

And now the result is that my father was not injured at all, and the chaos caused by Zhao Meng's side will soon be silent, which is the best result.

After explaining what happened, Huhe got up to leave. His footsteps were all out of the door, and he couldn't help but look back, "Madam, there's one more thing ......"

Jin Niang sat up straight, "What's the matter, you say." ”

"There are Japanese ships landing in the east, and I'm afraid there will be a war over there soon."

Jin Niang's breath couldn't go up or down, and she couldn't even maintain the cheerful expression on her face for a while.

After Huhe left, Jin Niang scolded angrily in the house, "Zhao Meng is a traitor." He, I don't know whose dogleg it is, wants to occupy Minzhou and dominate it. For this purpose, he also dared to contact the Japanese to attack Minzhou together, this person has a bad mind at home, and he will go to hell after death. ”

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi's expressions are not very good-looking, and now the third uncle Xu Chong is stationed in the former Minzhou Naval Division Camp. There were less than five soldiers there, and if the Japanese invaded them unprepared, the third uncle would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the battle in Zhao Meng's place has made great progress today, and the sailor soldiers at the West City Gate can go back to defend later. Even the subordinates who were originally taken away by Zhao Meng, after being examined, did not belong to the treasonous sentiments, and maybe they would be allowed to go to the battlefield immediately to atone for their crimes.

In this way, the manpower of the sailor is basically sufficient, and if they really come to attack this time, they are the only ones who will suffer.

Changqi sighed, "I'm going to write a letter to the third uncle, let the third uncle be angry, and kill all those widows." ”

Jin Niang: "Don't open your mouth and shut your mouth to kill and kill, you are a little girl, can't you be quiet?" ”

Changqi was still angry, "I'd rather be quiet, but think about the good things that the Japanese did every time they landed on the shore." As soon as they landed, the villages along the coast were empty. Not to mention burning, killing and looting, they also destroyed humanity and peeled off the human skins of those people to make lanterns...... Mother, do you say this thing is disgusting? Those wouldn't have been struck by the sky? ”

Jin Niang wanted to vomit, but Xiao Yu'er quickly patted her sister, "You can say anything dirty and smelly, and you are not afraid that my mother and I will vomit." ”

Changqi immediately replied to her sister, "Then you and your mother are too fragile" looks.

However, seeing that her mother's face was really not good-looking, Changqi didn't dare to argue, so naturally those words were not spoken.

But it's true that the pirates are hateful, and those pirates still eat people. I heard that they are especially fond of those young children who have just been born, whether it is frying, boiling, or grilling......

Fortunately, my mother didn't know about this, otherwise my mother would not be able to eat for a few days.

Jin Niang eased her strength, and said to Xiao Yu'er and Changqi, "Your third uncle's movements, don't tell your third aunt for the time being." After a while, you go to your third aunt, and just leak the news that Zhao Meng is dead, as for more, you have a long heart, don't say that you leaked your mouth. ”

The sisters answered, and then prepared to go to Chen Jiayu's courtyard to say goodbye to her.

The snow is now deeper outside, goose feather snowflakes are falling from the sky, and the little maids and the wives who sprinkle and sweep are not idle, and they have to sweep the road outside from time to time.

Seeing this, Jin Niang's stomach sounded Chen Jiayu's belly, and she felt that she had to go over and tell Chen Jiayu in person.

Don't go out on this day, otherwise it's not cost-effective to freeze out, and if you slip, it will be even worse.

Jin Niang spoke, "You two wait, my mother will go with you." ”

Jin Niang changed her clothes and deliberately wore non-slip buckskin boots. Walking on the road, she reflexively wanted to tell Qingsui that she would let her subordinates stop cleaning on the road all the time, just come out and sweep every other hour. And don't clean up everything, just sweep out the roads that your masters are used to taking, and wait for the snow to stop before it's too late.

But when the words came to her lips, Jin Niang remembered that this was San Lang and Jiayu's home.

The hostess in this family doesn't speak, it's okay for her to speak, but this good person should still be Jiayu, after all, she is the lady who is in charge.

Although the subordinates all sold their bodies or signed contracts to work in the government, they were also raised by their parents. Be kind to your subordinates, they will be grateful, not to mention working hard, they will also protect the Lord's family.

This is only good for the main family, and there is no harm.

Jin Niang decided to mention Jiayu later, that is, when she thought about it, Chen Jiayu's yard arrived.

Chen Jiayu is very concerned about this baby, and she hasn't taken half a step out for half a day.

She is an extremely cautious girl, and she has seen a lot of poor wives working to support their families in winter, and slippery tires for various reasons.

So as soon as she learned that it was snowing, Chen Jiayu asked people to hang a thick curtain outside the house to block the wind.

She wasn't going to go out these days, so she just walked around the house to eat.

When she saw Jin Niang come in with Xiao Yu'er and Changqi, she was very surprised, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why are you here now?" It's snowing, but don't freeze my two nieces. ”

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi looked at her big belly and didn't dare to approach her.

Because indoors, the earth dragon has been burning, and the temperature in the room is high, Chen Jiayu is wearing thin clothes, which makes her belly bigger.

If she was like having a pot lid on her stomach before, now it's like carrying a watermelon. It was bulging, and even moved a few times...... moved, my brother moved, he kicked his aunt's stomach!

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi couldn't take their eyes off it, their eyes wide.
