Xu Erlang went to rest after dinner, but Jin Niang didn't sleep, because she hadn't reached her usual resting point now, and she was not too sleepy; also because Xu Erlang had to get up and go to Tongzhou Wharf after sleeping for an hour, she was responsible for waking him up.

In the past, there was only a little more than an hour to rest, Xu Erlang designated to read some books or official documents to pass the time, but these days the nerves are too tight, plus the "Qin Cha" will only be busier than before after coming, he is now resting for a while, only as a few days of rest after the overdraft.

Jin Niang sat on the edge of the bed to make a shirt for Xu Erlang, her skills are average, so she rarely uses needlework. The children's clothes are basically handed over to the sewing room now, and only on the birthdays of several children will she make one or two for them. It's Xu Erlang's underwear, which has always been done by Jin Niang herself. On a whim, she would also make him two bedding clothes and a regular shirt. Anyway, it's worn inside and at home, even if it's not very good, but it's comfortable to wear, and you don't need to pay too much attention to it.

Jin Niang's crooked reasoning also attracted Xu Erlang's laughter, but he didn't refute anything, but he loved the clothes made by Jin Niang very much. As long as I am at home, most of them wear clothes sewn by Jinniang herself.

I have been making this shirt for half a month, because it is a slightly thicker silk, and I am going to wear it when the weather is cooler, so I am not in a hurry.

The temperature in Jiangnan was still slightly high at this time, and Xu Erlang's firepower was high, and he would sweat hot when he wore single clothes. The direct embellishment on the hand is in accordance with the strength of Jin Niang's slow work, and there is no end to it in ten days and a half months, but it is not afraid, and it will definitely be able to catch up with the cool weather to wear it.

Jin Niang sewed for a while and felt that her body was stiff, so she went down to the ground and walked. Her movements were very slight, and when she moved, the clothes rubbed and made a rustling sound, which still woke Xu Erlang up. But he just opened his eyes and looked at Jin Niang, then closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.

Hai Shi Jinniang woke up Xu Erlang, he slept for a short time, and now the whole person is in good spirits.

Jin Niang asked the maid to bring wontons, two side dishes and a bowl of lotus seed and lily porridge, Xu Erlang simply washed and ate things, then changed his clothes and went out.

In the second half of the night, he decided that he couldn't come back, so he told Jinniang, "Sleep." In the next few days, I also woke up a little, and I first went to the mountains with the third prince to take out the private treasury of Lifu, and then I had to go to Jiangji Village. There are so many things that I can't get away for a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go home. You take care of several children, take care of yourself. ”

While Jin Niang agreed, she worriedly told him to be careful.

It is said that the imperial court sent an army to escort the "stolen goods", whether it is to go to the mountains to get the storage of the Li family, or to go to Jiangji Village to dig up the accumulation of the Sheng family, there will not be much danger. However, no one knows whether the Sheng family in Jiangji Village hid the bomb or not. It's good if you don't hide it, if it is...... The power of the bomb is comparable to that of thousands of troops, and even the most brave and skilled army will become a helpless child in the face of the bomb. After all, people are human beings, they are all flesh and blood, and without steel and iron bones, they cannot compete with bombs.

Jin Niang reluctantly sent Xu Erlang away, because she was too worried that the Sheng family's affairs would not go smoothly in the future, and Jin Niang couldn't sleep after lying on the bed. She tossed and turned for a moment, only to wake up from a nightmare.

Qingsui heard the movement outside, and hurriedly entered the inner room, and saw that Jinniang was sweating profusely, and saw her thoughts at a glance, "Madame is worried about your lord, right?" Madame, don't worry, it's not just adults who go to fetch money, the third prince and the lord of Tobe Shangshu have already entered the city, they have rested for a while, have some food, and then follow the adults to the mountain. ”

Qingsui didn't know much, and he didn't know that the Sheng family had a bomb. She thought that Jin Niang had a nightmare because she was worried that there were too many people who had the idea of beating the Li family's treasury, and then the bandits and other forces who came to loot would hurt people.

Qingsui said, "I heard that this time His Majesty specially ordered the soldiers of the hussar battalion to come to Tongzhou, and there are more than 10,000 people. Coupled with the people of the Jiangzhou Naval Division, as well as the guards of Tongzhou Mansion, I think no one is afraid of death to provoke at this time. ”

That's right.

In fact, as long as you have a brain, you know that this is not the opportunity to do it. If you really want to do it, wouldn't it be better to wait for the team escorting the stolen goods on the way back to Beijing? If you are traveling by land, you will always pass through some sparsely populated places; If you take the waterway, this section of the canal from Tongzhou to the capital is innumerable. At that time, not only will the ambush lot be well arranged, but even the dead ghosts will automatically jump out.

But Jin Niang didn't have time to think about this, she just couldn't wait to ask, "Are you a soldier from the hussar battalion?" Is Changping coming? ”

This question really blinded Qingsui, she didn't pay attention to this question. In fact, she could know that the three princes had already entered the city and gone to the mountains, which was still guessed by hearing the movement outside. As for the people who came from the hussar camp, it was the mother-in-law at the second gate who heard from the people outside.

After all, this matter is big, and the subordinates of the Governor's Mansion are very vigilant, and any news can spread throughout the entire mansion as soon as possible.

Qingsui said, "The slave and maid really don't know about this, if the lady wants to know, the slave and maid will send someone to ......" Qingsui wanted to send someone out to ask, but not to mention that if it is not bright today, it is still in curfew; Let's just say that the three princes and his party all went to the mountains, and she didn't have anywhere to ask.

Jin Niang also thought of this, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't inquire now, even if you know, it's useless." Even if he comes, he will come by order, so let's not cause trouble for him. ”

Soon the sky was bright, and today Changle and a few people reported for dinner early and wanted to come over for breakfast.

Jin Niang guessed that a few little girls must have known about the hussar camp's arrival, and came to ask her if Changping had come to Tongzhou, and it turned out to be true.

But Jin Niang really didn't know about it, so she had a headache and said, "You really want to know, my mother sent someone to the post house to find someone to ask." But in the future, the officials in the post house can't be known to everyone, and maybe they can't say why. ”

Changle said, "Auntie, I think the second brother will definitely come." ”

Xiao Yu'er nodded violently, "If I have the opportunity to run to Tongzhou, I will definitely come over all the hardships and dangers of Kefu." ”

Changzhou and Changhui squeezed their eyebrows, he actually wanted to say that he wanted to know if the second brother was here, and he would know if he went to the mountains to see. But Leng Buding remembered Changqi's tragic situation again, and Changzhou swallowed back the words that rolled to the tip of his tongue.

After the meal, a few people left, and Jinniang really sent someone to the hospital to inquire.

There were almost no people left in the post house, but all the young talents who came with the three princes and the Hubu Shangshu took this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and no one would stay in the post house to waste time. But there were still two old and frail household officials, as well as some servants around the three princes.

When these people were asked about this, they enthusiastically gave an affirmative answer. He even invited the merit to say a few more words, "Not only the prince of Changping, but also the third prince from the mansion of Lord Su." In addition to the hussar general, there is also General Wei Yunhong of the Weiguo Mansion. "Wei Yunpin is the fourth rank of the general Wuwei, he is the eldest brother of Chang'an.

The person who came to visit the letter got a satisfactory answer, and when he turned around, he informed Jinniang of the result. Jin Niang was ecstatic and stood in the house several times.

At noon, a few children came over again, and couldn't wait to ask Jin Niang about the results, Jin Niang sold a pass to tell the matter, and a few small ones were ecstatic and happy, and the loud voice simply overturned the roof.

Changle and Xiaoyuer are no longer reserved, and their smiling eyebrows and eyes are full. Changle said, "Great, I didn't expect to see the second brother again so soon." ”

Xiao Yu'er also said, "Second brother too, if you want to come over, you won't say hello to us in advance." ”

Jin Niang smiled and said, "I'm afraid that kid wants to surprise us." ”

"The result? I didn't get the surprise, so I was directly dragged away by my father to work. The second brother must be extremely depressed now. ”

Several people listened to Xiao Yu'er's words, and when they thought of Changping's wilting appearance, they laughed out loud again.

Changle said, "It's so good, I really want to see the second brother soon, I haven't seen the second brother for so long, I miss him." ”

"Then it will take a while to see you, the second brother is in the mountains now. After finishing the Li family's warehouse, there is also the Sheng family's house. During this time, they are not allowed to be idle, and they are afraid that they will not be able to find time to go home. ”

Jin Niang muttered, "If only we could go to the mountains." But Jin Niang just said that, in fact, she knows better than anyone that she can't go to the mountains now. Not only could she not go, but except for the people who had been arranged a long time ago, the rest of the people couldn't get in there.

On the outskirts of the mountain, a large number of trees had been cut down. Now there is a road carved out of it that can accommodate eight horses. There were sentry posts along the road, and ten pairs of men and horses patrolled back and forth, trying not to let even a fly inside.

Many officials in the Tongzhou Mansion want to join in the fun, but they don't have that qualification, so their families have to settle down, and they still can't go over to cause trouble for Xu Erlang.

Although it was impossible to go to the mountains, because they knew that Changping Su Zheng and Wei Yunfei had come to Tongzhou, Jin Niang and the others were very happy.

Jin Niang has been thinking about the menu in her spare days these days, thinking that when the children arrive at home, she will prepare a table for them. She thought that it would be ten days and a half months later at the earliest, but on the same night, Jin Niang saw Changping with glowing skin and a mouthful of big white teeth when she smiled.

At that time, the family was sitting in the flower hall eating, and the maid happily trotted in all the way, "Madam, let's see who is coming, it's ......"

The maid didn't finish speaking, Changping had already run to the flower hall with a smoke, "Auntie, little aunt, Changle Xiaoyuer Changzhou Changhui Changqi, the second brother is here, not surprised, not surprised." Hahahaha......"

Jin Niang stood up happily, Changle and Xiao Yu'er also blushed with excitement, the three little ones cheered, laughed and ran over, Changzhou Changhui hugged Changping's waist and jumped and jumped, Changqi threw herself directly into the arms of the second brother, and her ignorant eyes were full of joy.

Jin Niang looked at Changping covered in sweat and dust, so she hurriedly beckoned a few children, "Come down quickly, let your second brother rest." Changping came by yourself? What about the signs? What about the clouds? Was it outside or didn't come along? You kid, isn't it a matter of Zhang Luoli's private warehouse in the mountains, why did you come back suddenly? ”

Jin Niang was pleasantly surprised and didn't know what to say, she asked such a big question, and thought that she should ask the maid to fetch water for Changping to freshen up, this look is too buried, saying that it is the son of the Governor's Mansion, and the people of the Governor's Mansion are lost.

Changping teased Changzhou Changhui Changqi for a while, then put them down and solemnly greeted Jinniang, "Auntie, my nephew has come to see you." Seeing that Chen Jiayu was not in the flower hall, he was still a little puzzled, "What about the little aunt?" ”

"Oh, your little aunt is pregnant, but the month is still short, and now the reaction is a bit big. She vomited so much that she needed to raise a baby, so she didn't eat with us. ”

Chen Jiayu's pregnancy, Xu's father and Xu's mother also told Changping, but he didn't know about the little aunt's morning sickness. He is an unmarried young man, and he is still a little embarrassed to hear this, but he heard that the little aunt is about to be three months pregnant, and Xu will get better soon, so he feels much more comfortable.

Next, Changping washed his hands and face, and then happily sat down to answer the question that Jin Niang asked just now, "I came here by myself this time, and Su Zheng and Brother Yun Fei are still staying in the mountains." Not only them, but my second uncle, eldest brother, and Brother Rong can't come back these days. This time, I came out with a carriage carrying gold and silver, mainly to protect the safety of the vehicle, and I was worried about a small troublemaker. ”

Changping said again, "It's a pity that I can't stay in the house for a long time, and I have to leave after a while." This is still for the sake of my second uncle's face, so the third prince specially took care of me and allowed me to come to the house to have a look. ”

Jinniang felt distressed for a moment when she heard this, thinking that the child hadn't eaten yet, so she hurriedly beckoned Changping to eat. Changping is not polite, he is also really tired and hungry. All the way from the capital non-stop, to Tongzhou Mansion after the non-stop to go to the mountains, this stay is a whole day, during the period has not rested has been loading, but he is not light.

Changping was eating and eating vegetables in a big mouthful, and everyone, including Jinniang, didn't eat it, and he was distressed and tried to pick up vegetables for him. Jin Niang also instructed the maid to prepare two meat dishes immediately to serve, Changping loves meat, no meat is not happy, he is the age of the long body, and two catties of meat can easily enter the stomach for a meal.

But at this time, Changping waved his hand, "Aunt Zhang, I have to leave immediately." This Tongzhou family is really capable, and the gold and silver are piled up all over the cave. Our group had been loading all day, and we didn't even finish half of it. These things are urgently needed to be transported to the capital in the past two days, and I am worried that there will be too many dreams at night, which will attract too many people to covet them. We can't rest, we have to carry things back and forth tonight. ”

Jin Niang asked, "Do you only transport gold and silver, or do you even bring food and weapons?" ”

"It's all lucky. However, the second uncle went to the fold to leave thousands of tons of grain underground, and His Majesty agreed. The third prince wanted to sell it to my second uncle, so he said that there were many of us, and when the time came, we would transport the things together to the granary of the state capital. There were so many things that even if more than five hundred wagons were drafted, they would not be enough. At this rate, it would take about five or six days to get everything out. ”
