Chapter 319: Surveillance

"It seems that Master Chen and Mrs. Chen haven't heard about Changzhou yet."

Don't take the initiative to mention nursery rhymes, shopkeeper Qi said.

Nursery rhyme said with a smile.

"My husband and I are busy with things at home, and we are not well-informed, but has this incident in Changzhou happened for a long time?"

Shopkeeper Qi sighed and nodded.

"It was all a month ago, and now there is everything outside, and I have heard several versions here, and everyone outside says that the soldiers over there in Changzhou are corrupt, but in fact, this Changzhou is also a rich place, and the garrison will naturally not be in the city, and those soldiers are stationed more than ten miles outside Changzhou City."

Obviously, 1 Qi shopkeeper is also very concerned about the affairs of Changzhou, otherwise he would not have understood it so clearly.

Neither the nursery rhyme nor Chen Xuan interrupted his words, and listened quietly.

"But this is only a part, that is, people often say that thirty percent of the tens of thousands of soldiers, the rest of the soldiers are stationed farther away, I don't know where it is, I heard those people say that it is in the deep mountains and old forests, this is not a raid on the southern barbarian side, their number is the same as those soldiers stationed outside the city of Changzhou, our people over there were quickly defeated, and this city was not occupied by others."

The nursery rhyme frowned when I listened to it, why did I always feel that something was wrong.

Chen Xuan looked directly at the shopkeeper Qi.

"I heard from the shopkeeper that the defeated ones were those soldiers stationed outside Changzhou City, what about the others, what about the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers, there were foreign enemies in Changzhou City, they just knew that it was too late, and they should have rushed to support."

Shopkeeper Qi looked at Chen Xuan unexpectedly, he didn't expect him to react so quickly, but he didn't know about the rest of the soldiers.

"I don't know about this, I'm afraid only those above know."

Chen Xuan frowned.

Until he came out of the Xiao family restaurant, Chen Xuan was still frowning, and when the nursery rhyme saw his pensive look, he couldn't bear to disturb him, so he followed him silently.

However, the situation has not improved, because Chen Xuan has been restless all day, and the nursery rhymes are doubtful, is it that every man has a dream of being a general in his heart, otherwise why would her family be so into the play?

"Okay, are you still thinking about what Shopkeeper Qi said today?"

Chen Xuan raised his eyes to look at the nursery rhyme, and he pursed his lips slightly.

Nursery rhyme handed him a cup of tea.

"Although the rise and fall of this country is the responsibility of the husband, but we are just ordinary people, our way to defend the country is to make more money, and strive to make a contribution when the country needs materials for war, as for the things on the battlefield, it is the matter of those generals."

Chen Xuan looked at the nursery rhymes with his mouth closed one by one, but his mind seemed to automatically isolate his daughter-in-law's words, his mind was full of some vague pictures, and there was the voice of a man speaking in his ears, and there were some emotions surging in his heart, and he couldn't control it at all.

Seeing that Chen Xuan was still distracted, she was really speechless.

I saw her eyebrows move.

"The little pumpkin has just been milked, and you carry it to the yard for a walk."

As he spoke, he handed over the little pumpkin to Chen Xuan.

Sure enough, this kid is better, Chen Xuan felt the weight in his hand, and when he looked at the little pumpkin's eyes, the panicked emotions in his heart were actually half gone, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

The corners of the nursery rhyme's mouth twitched, hey, I always feel that my father-in-law values children more, she touched her smooth little face, it seems that she still needs to take care of herself.

Chen Xuan walked slowly under the corridor of the inner courtyard with the little pumpkin in his arms, he felt that the little pumpkin's temperament was very similar to his daughter-in-law, as soon as he went out, he smiled happily, his mouth squirmed, and he made a popping sound, and he looked like he was talking.

"What a mischievous ghost."

Where can the little pumpkin understand his father's words, and he is still very harmless and smiling.

Chen Xuan looked at his smiling face and sighed in his heart, what did he want to do, just like his daughter-in-law said, they are just merchants, and when the country needs them, they will do their best, some things are just what they are worried about, and if the level is not reached, it is in vain.

At night, the nursery rhyme was woken up by the voices of the people around me.

Once again, she saw her father-in-law having nightmares.

"Xianggong, wake up, you're dreaming."

The nursery rhyme pinched Chen Xuan's arm vigorously, hoping that the pain would wake him up from his sleep.

Obviously, this trick is still useful, Chen Xuan woke up from his sleep sweating profusely, his dark eyes staring at the nursery rhyme, and the anger immediately dissipated in an instant.

He took the handkerchief handed over by the nursery rhyme and said with a slight gasp.

"Didn't scare you, did you?"

Tong Yao frowned, and looked at his father-in-law with some distress.

This nightmare, there are two possibilities, one is to receive external stimulation, and the other is to think about it day and night, nursery rhymes are very incomprehensible when you think about it, isn't it the loss of Changzhou?

Why did you stir the strings in the heart of your father-in-law?

"Not scared, it's just you."

Chen Xuan held the hand of the nursery rhyme and smiled reluctantly.

"I'm fine, you should take a rest."

Nursery rhyme looked at him uneasily.

Chen Xuan pressed her head on his chest, listening to the man's powerful heartbeat, and the nursery rhyme fan felt sleepy in a daze.

It's just that she saw her father-in-law get out of bed in a trance, and she seemed to be looking at something in her hand, but she was too sleepy, so she didn't delve into it, and when she got up the next day, she had already forgotten about those things.

To the surprise of the nursery rhyme, I just made rice cakes together, and today we have to make sake lees together.

Sister You frowned slightly when she saw the nursery rhyme, and said understandingly.

"Are you busy here? If we're busy, we'll wait for the next time. “

The nursery rhyme knows that Sister You is kind, but I don't know if it's because of the impact of the little pumpkin after she got sick last time, although she can't be sure that it's the rice cake that has a problem, but she is just a little disgusted to make things together again.

She said apologetically to the neighbors who had come with her.

"People in the family don't like to eat sake lees, I think it's better to forget it this time, it's really troublesome for you to go this way."

Sister You didn't have anything, she was about to speak, but she was robbed by the daughter-in-law of the Han family next to her.

"Nursery rhyme girl, this wine lees is very good for people like you who milk children, this is milk, it makes sense to say that we don't do it here, but if you don't do it, it will be a waste of our kindness."

Tong Yao frowned, and she stared at the Han family's daughter-in-law several times.

The daughter-in-law of the Han family looked away and said with a smile.

"Nursery rhyme girl, don't mind, I'm just a little quick-mouthed."

The nursery rhyme restrained her expression, this daughter-in-law of the Han family has always been the kind of person who doesn't talk much, but today she actually spoke, and what she said, why is she so unpleasant, could it be that she didn't speak before because she was easy to offend people when she spoke.

Although it was a little uncomfortable, so many people came to invite her, and she should understand the friendship of others, so she was even more apologetic.

"I'm really embarrassed, when I was just confined, my mother made me some sake lees, but my physique is a little different, and I get angry when I eat that."

Sister You hurriedly took over the conversation, and glanced at the daughter-in-law of the Han family with dissatisfaction as she spoke.

"Nursery rhyme girl, it should be that you don't mind, let's plan to make sake lees together is also because it saves trouble, since you can't eat this thing, it's useless to make it, and you don't have to waste food."

The daughter-in-law of the Han family looked at Sister You and looked at the nursery rhyme again, and she was so anxious in her heart.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her anxious gaze, and thought that she had just realized that what she had just said was wrong, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

She didn't pay attention to it, but Sister You noticed it, so when she was making sake lees today, she also deliberately paid more attention to the daughter-in-law of the Han family, but it was obvious that she was a little absent-minded, you must know that the person who proposed to make sake lees together was the daughter-in-law of the Han family, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but if she wanted to say that something was wrong, she couldn't say it, and naturally she had a bad impression of the daughter-in-law of the Han family.

It's a coincidence, and when Sister You packed up her things a few days later, she saw that there was a dustpan brought by the daughter-in-law of the Han family at home, although it was not worth a few dollars, but this thing still had to be distinguished.

The woman's back is still a little familiar, Sister You glanced down at the dustpan in her hand, thought about it and went to Han's house, but when she just walked to the door of Han's house, her mind flashed, how could that back be as similar to the Liu family she saw in the vegetable market last time?

In my mind, I still replayed the hurried gaze of the Han family's daughter-in-law just now, looking at it like that, it doesn't look like a stranger to the Liu family, but these two people are involved?

Her brow furrowed so much that she could almost kill a fly.

"Sister You, are you stunned?"

Mrs. Han stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Sister You.

Sister You swallowed her saliva, and then looked at Mrs. Han with a smile.

"Auntie, this dustpan is your family, the family was too busy a few days ago, and I only found out when I cleaned it up today."

Mrs. Han also smiled kindly.

"You kid is polite, isn't it just a dustpan thing, and you have to run in person, it must be Changning's daughter-in-law who is lost."

Changning's daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the Han family.

Sister You was moved and asked with a smile.

"Auntie, I just saw Changning's daughter-in-law hurriedly following a person out, could it be some relative of your family?"

Mrs. Han flattened her mouth and said as if she was dissatisfied.

"But isn't it, Changning's daughter-in-law said it was a distant relative of hers."
