247 Arson
Wang Tingzhen and Zhige'er haven't come back to live for a long time, these days because of the busy farming, the house has not had time to disturb, Fuping is very guilty, a little helpless to get a brand new cloth, and pull his wife to clean it together.
Lin Yu'an was not angry, she rarely came over, and there was no one living in the house, so it was impossible to disturb every day, wasting manpower, and it was reasonable to accumulate dust.
Lin Yu'an asked Nan Yu to follow over to clean up, and turned his head to see Brother Sheng was hunched over to observe something, Sister Shu clapped her little hands happily, and Mrs. Chen stood aside with Ping An in her arms.
Brother Sheng suddenly lowered his head and grabbed something, turned his head to tease Ping'an, Ping'an giggled, turned around and put his head on the nurse's shoulder, and was so happy that Sister Shu went around behind Mrs. Chen and grimaced at Ping'an.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and the innocence among the children infected Lin Yu'an, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a long-lost, heartfelt smile.
Ping An swayed from side to side in the nurse's arms, Brother Sheng hugged his sister and pointed in the direction of Lin Yu'an, Sister Shu stopped, turned her head and looked at her brother's sight.
Lin Yu'an walked over with a smile, the nurse bowed slightly, Lin Yu'an wanted to squat down and talk to the children, but her body was too heavy and inconvenient, so she had to bend over, look down at the children's eyes, and say with a smile: "Is it fun?" Is the Grange fun or the fun at home? β
Brother Sheng smiled, tilted his head and thought seriously, for the children, home is the Cloud Palace, where they live.
Brother Sheng shook his head, Sister Shu looked at her brother and shook her head, and she also shook her head, Lin Yuan smiled dumbly: "Why don't you like it?" β
"I don't have all these fun stuff at home."
As he spoke, Brother Sheng took out a dog's tail grass from behind him, which was what he had just used to tickle Ping'an.
The child's innocence is something that adults can't imagine and replicate, just like Brother Sheng, who is the little prince of Jingnan Palace, has countless wealth, and his dignity is also one of the best in the surrounding area, after all, the current emperor Qi Mubei is still the same generation as him, but the emperor is already in his twenties, and Brother Sheng is only two years old.
Maybe when the next emperor ascends the throne, Brother Sheng will grow up at that time, and he will be a generation older than the emperor.
Of course, that's all for later.
It's just that Lin Yu'an doesn't like Jingnan Wangfu for Brother Sheng, but prefers Grange.
She suddenly thought of Qi Mubei, wasn't he also a young man who liked freedom at the beginning, but didn't he still choose that cage, that position that everyone in the world could not reach, and that noble throne that was piled up with blood.
She suddenly hoped that Brother Sheng could always keep his heart, she didn't need him to make contributions, as long as he lived a meaningful life and felt that every day was fulfilling, what if he was an idle prince of idle clouds and wild cranes.
She no longer needs money to decorate the faΓ§ade, nor does she need to work hard to gain fame and glory, she has everything, she just wants her children to live happily.
Brother Sheng looked at his mother, stepped forward and took his mother's hand, shaking it gently, "Mother, can we stay here for a few more days?" β
Lin Yu'an nodded and said in a deep voice: "Well, it's okay, but Brother Sheng has to think about it, there are no crispy ducks, crystal shrimp dumplings, and osmanthus sugar chestnut powder cakes that Brother Sheng likes?" β
Brother Sheng thought about it with some disappointment, looked around again, and nodded earnestly, "It's okay." β
Sister Shu was a little reluctant, she poked her little finger and hesitated: "Is that not able to cover my slippery quilt?" β
This...... Is it a problem?
Lin Yu'an was teased by her daughter's coquettishness, the slippery quilt is the lambswool blanket paid tribute by Persia, which is particularly soft, and Sister Shu'er's favorite quilt is this lamb blanket.
It's just that Lin Yu'an didn't expect that her daughter didn't care about food and accommodation, but only cared about whether she could cover her favorite quilt, such a daughter was so cute.
Mrs. Chen on the side also couldn't laugh, if it weren't for the peace she held, she was afraid that she would not be able to straighten her waist with a smile.
Lin Yu'an pinched her daughter's little nose and said angrily: "Little girl, I know that you are thinking about it, your mother asked Sister Nanfeng to help you collect the one you brought over, and you can sleep tonight." β
After listening to her mother's words, Sister Shu smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and sweetly shouted thank her mother.
Although it is already autumn, but the weather is not cool, the autumn tiger is so tanned that the skin of people is ripe, Lin Yu'an settled down in the Grange on the afternoon of the day, Lin Yu'an asked Xu's mother to prepare quietly, she decided to give birth in the Grange.
Mother Xu was taken aback, but she still had to do what Lin Yu'an told her.
The midwife is still looking for the mother-in-law who delivered Lin Yu'an before, and she came to Xi'anzhuang on the second day, eating and drinking every day, and taking silver, the only bad thing is that you can't go out.
On September 9, Lin Yu'an gave birth.
The seizures began on the night of September 8, and Xu's mother said that the child was born on the Chung Yeung Festival.
After hurting all night and not being able to give birth, Xu's mother found Chunying and asked her to guard the outside, and she and Hongying helped Lin Yu'an to walk in the yard.
After walking and drinking black chicken ginseng soup, Lin Yu'an's face was better, and he curled up in pain when he lay down, the midwife and the doctor have seen a lot of such scenes, but this person in front of them is not an ordinary person, but Princess Jingnan, they don't dare to slack off, and their faces are tight.
Xu's mother and Hongying are both people who have given birth to children and are guarding in the house, Nanyu Zhou Qiao'er is responsible for boiling hot water and delivering water outside, and Yueqiu takes people to guard the outer courtyard, everything is in order.
At noon, a baby's cry broke the tense atmosphere of everyone, and the room resounded with the laughter of the midwife and the doctor, the kind of laughter that suddenly relaxed and heartily.
"The princess gave birth to a brother and gave birth to a brother!"
Hongying's eyes were red with excitement, Xu's mother was happy, but she also knew what to do at this time, so she barely maintained her composure, arranged to bathe the child, and cleaned up Lin Yu'an's body.
Nan Yu and Zhou Qiao'er were also happy when they heard that Lin Yu'an had given birth to another son.
"I knew that the princess must be blessed, you see, it's a brother!"
Hongying took over the clean child from the midwife, and the full-term child was born well, looking not the kind of wrinkled, like a newborn monkey, but a little boy with smooth skin and a cute appearance.
Lin Yu'an couldn't open his eyes tiredly, felt refreshed on his body, and fell asleep deeply.
Mother Xu covered Lin Yu'an with a quilt in distress, called Nanyu to come in and guard, and sent the midwife and doctor out.
The child was born safely and soundly, which everyone likes to see, and the doctor's wife and midwife's face are smiling, and she said happy words to Xu's mother.
Mother Xu also nodded happily, stopped, and gradually put away her smile.
The doctor and the midwife glanced at each other, and both turned to look at Xu's mother, and the midwife hesitated and asked her, "But what's wrong?" β
Mother Xu smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two of you may have to stay here for two more days, and when our princess's condition is stable, I will definitely send the two of you away with a big gift." β
The doctor's smile froze there, and her eyes couldn't help but show a worried look.
Does this mean that they should be forced to stay?
And there is no room for them to refuse, both of them are a little puzzled, how the children were born safely, and they have to be detained.
Mother Xu saw their doubts, so she was patient and explained: "The conditions of the grange are simple, some distance from the city, the princess has just given birth to a child, just in case there is any illness, I can only wronged the two of them to stay for two more days, and when the princess's condition is stable, the two can leave." β
Only then did the two of them relax.
On September 12, Lin Yu'an has almost eased up in the past two days, and her complexion has improved a lot, and Mrs. Chen introduced her fellow villager and surname Xiao Chen, a young woman who has just given birth to a child and has been a confinement child, to be Xiao Jiu's nurse.
Of course, this was also decided after Mother Xu sent someone to investigate Xiao Chen's personality and reputation.
Xiao Chen is the sister-in-law of the third cousin of Mrs. Chen's husband's family, and now she is in her early twenties, and she looks Zhouzheng, because she is a Zhuang family, she was born a little dark.
However, according to Xu's mother, this Xiao Chen is well-known for being honest and loyal, and has a good reputation among them.
Lin Yu'an said a few words, and Mother Xu said with a smile: "The princess can do confinement with peace of mind, I will personally watch my brother's side, except for breastfeeding, I will carry him here." β
Lin Yu'an thought it was okay, so he nodded, his body was still a little tired, Zhou Qiao'er came in with the soup of black chicken bird's nest to replenish qi and blood, Lin Yu'an drank a bowl and fell asleep again.
A few people retreated quietly, leaving only Nanyu and Hongying to take care of them in the house, there will inevitably be a sound next to it when there are too many people, and two people are enough.
In the evening of the same day, Yueqiu came.
"Wang Qi They were ambushed when they went down the mountain, our brothers died five, those people disguised themselves as mountain bandits, the horses were frightened, the carriage overturned down the mountain, the maid in the carriage has not been found, our people and the people in the ambush in the forest fought, two were caught, and the other party died three."
Lin Yu'an listened, her brows couldn't help jumping, fortunately, all this plan went well, otherwise if she really went to Xiangguo Temple, it would be difficult for the children to return safely, but it was a pity for these people who worked hard for her.
Dead five, this number became extremely heavy when it fell into his ears, Yueqiu's eyes were a little red, these were brothers who followed him from birth to death, and now it was folded like this, it was impossible for him not to be sad.
It's just that he also understands that this is their mission, it is something they must do, and no one wants to see such an accident, but when something happens, he can't complain.
Lin Yu'an let out a long sigh, "Yueqiu, you go to Mother Xu and get five thousand taels of silver, these are iron-clad men, a little heart, go and comfort your family." β
Listening to Lin Yu'an's words, Yueqiu's heart felt a lot better, the master was considerate, it was better than some people, even if the person who had served him for many years died, he would not shed a tear like indifference.
He nodded heavily, although through the screen, that sad mood still came in, Lin Yu'an's eyes were also a little sour, let Yueqiu retreat first, and come back to tell you if there was something.
Lin Yu'an had no doubt that this matter was absolutely inseparable from the Qi family.
What the Qi clan wants to do is already Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.
Some things can't be delayed any longer, she can't wait for Wei's reply, the longer things drag on, the more passive it will be for them.
Sure enough, that night, Nanyuan's side house burned down, but Jingnan Wangfu was quiet.
On the second day, after Lin Yu'an heard about it, although some of the places where he had been distressed for so long were suddenly burned, and some were distressed, he still showed a somewhat relaxed look.
From this point of view, the Qi family must have thought that they had quietly hid in the South Park in exchange for the prince, but she was very puzzled, how could the Qi family be so sure?
On the second day, it was rumored that there were Hu people in the capital who set fire everywhere, and bandits were mixed in, and even the Rongguo Mansion was not spared.
When Lin Yu'an heard the news, she almost clapped her hands, she held the teacup, thought about it, and asked people to call Yueqiu over.
Wei Feng came earlier, Zhou Qiao'er entered the house with him, Lin Yu'an was very surprised, what did Feng Feng do here, didn't he just look at Brother Sheng?
Wei Feng strode in and stopped in front of the screen, "The princess can also tell me if there is anything to do, go over the hill to deal with things, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while." β
Lin Yu'an was stunned, how could Feng Feng be so kind, but thinking of his dedication to a few children, he dispelled the thoughts in his heart and smoothed his heart.
"Aren't you only responsible for protecting Brother Sheng'er and Sister Shu'er?"
Lu Feng said coldly: "Now that this matter has affected Brother Sheng'er's safety, I need to take action, if the princess can use my place, just give orders." β
There was not the slightest hint of awe in his words, and he replied completely with a straight look.
However, thinking that before Wei Feng, he was still Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it was not surprising that he was like this, and some people with some skills were a little tempered.
Thinking that Wei Feng gave up a good future for Brother Sheng'er, Lin Yu'an's voice was a little more polite, "Okay, I still want to thank you for your dedication, the prince didn't misunderstand you." β
When Feng Feng heard this, his face was expressionless, and Lin Yu'an was not polite, and explained one thing to him.
On the second day, the Jingnan Palace, the Anning County Lord's Mansion and the Wang Family were maliciously set on fire, even the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion.
However, the one who suffered the most was the Anning County Lord's Mansion.
Last night it was a northeast wind, and the direction of the Anning County Lord's Mansion happened to be burned by the fire and could not be extinguished, and the fire was extinguished before dawn.
Qi's face was pale, Brother Heng on the side couldn't cry, although the fire was extinguished, the thick black smoke was still piling up.
"Check it out! Find out who did it! β
Her eyes were red, and there was still some black smoke on her face, and the maids had time to fetch water to clean her face.
Wang Zhongguo looked at the dark distance, and his heart was inexplicably low.
