Pei Jinzhen smiled and asked Mama Yuan to send things everywhere, turned her head on the kang, and smiled at the nurse holding Brother Sheng in the house.

When Brother Sheng was more than nine months old, he was able to walk two steps by holding on to the wall, but Zhuang Lao said that it was not good to walk too early, and when he grew up, he was prone to bone pain. On the contrary, it is better to climb more and exercise the flexibility of the limbs.

Therefore, at that time, Yan Chong directly removed all the things that Brother Sheng could support, and forced him to climb for more than two months, and now, when he is one year old, he let the nurse help him start walking.

It's only been a few days, and I only need to hold one finger of the nurse, and I can walk everywhere, although I am stumbling, but I am very happy.

It is also when the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, he is not afraid of anything, he dares to go anywhere, and it doesn't matter whether the road is good or not, or whether it is a high hurdle, fortunately, there are still people to lead him.

The nurse and a few big maids took care of him, but even so, he didn't seem to be tired, and he kept spinning like a small spinning top all day long, but the people who took care of him were tired enough.

Pei Jinzhen saw that he took care of him, whether it was the nurse or the maids, they were very attentive, so he explained to Mama Yuan, and used her private house to subsidize the food of Chi Yueju on weekdays, and gave Brother Sheng'er's nurse and a few maids a lot of rewards, but it was more careful to let the nurse and a few girls take care of Brother Sheng.

Outside the door, there was a faint figure shaking, Pei Jinzhen squinted and looked, it was Ding Yang.

Seeing that Brother Sheng was walking happily, he turned out of the inner room.

"What's wrong?" If there is nothing going on, Ding Yang is usually hidden in the shadows and will not appear easily.

Ding Yang's face was not very good, "Madam, there is news from Dingzhou." ”

Yes, Dingzhou. According to the footsteps, Jiang Zhong should also chase to Dingzhou. It's just that Ding Yang's face ......

Pei Jinzhen had some bad premonitions in his heart, and couldn't help frowning.

"Jiang Chong quickly chased all the way to Dingzhou, but he didn't see Zhuang Lao."

It stands to reason that Zhuang Lao with a medicine boy can't go so fast, but Jiang Chong is fast all the way, how can he catch up on the way, but he chased all the way to Dingzhou, and he still didn't see anyone.

Pei Jinzhen's heart couldn't help but tighten.

For the sake of prudence, Jiang Zhong searched carefully in Dingzhou City and determined that Zhuang Lao had not arrived in Dingzhou.

"Could there be any delays on the way? Not yet there? Pei Jinzhen asked a little anxiously.

Ding Yang was silent and did not speak.

Pei Jinzhen's eyebrows tightened a little.

Zhuang Lao shouldn't have anything wrong. Who's going to do it to him?

Ding Yang couldn't answer, so he had to hang his head and remain silent.

Pei Jinzhen was already in turmoil, "Let Jiang Zhong go back from Dingzhou, along the way, be careful, maybe there are any clues." ”

"Yes." Ding Yang complied.

But at this time, the green branch hurried in.

"Madam, at the side door, someone handed this letter."

Pei Jinzhen raised his eyebrows suspiciously, took the letter, and opened it to take a look, but his eyes narrowed quietly, covering the dark light under his eyes.

In the past two days, the weather has cooled down suddenly. When I woke up this morning, the sky was overcast, and the clouds were heavy, as if it was going to rain at any moment.

There is a tall plane tree at the mouth of the alley, the branches are overgrown, and there are a few branches that are horizontal at the side door of the carriage and horse of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

In the summer, the shade is very cool, but in the past two days, the autumn wind has blown off the withered leaves on the branches, and they have fallen slowly, which is to add two points of gloom.

At the side door, there was an ordinary flat-headed blue-curtained carriage, and the people in the carriage did not make the slightest noise, but waited quietly and silently.

Finally waited for there to be movement in the door, but Pei Jinji, who was dressed in plain makeup and wearing a fence on his head, accompanied by green branches, walked slowly, and stopped in front of the carriage.

The felt hanging on the car was lifted at this time, revealing Su Ying's smiling face, "Mrs. Shizi, are you here?" ”

The light gauze hanging on Pei Jinji's fence reached his ankles, and under the cover of the light veil, even his face was a little faint, but he could still see two points of surprise, "Aunt Suying?" ”

"Yes! The queen said that it was just a letter, which may not make Mrs. Shizi believe, so she could only let the slave and maid come to pick it up in person. ”

Pei Jinzhen's mind was racing, and the letter with Empress Zheng's private seal was unknown, but it was obviously a letter written by Empress Zheng herself, and everything in front of her was a little weird, but at least it was certain that it was indeed Empress Zheng who wanted to see her.

It's just that for some reason, she was not summoned to the palace, but she was so secretive and took a lot of effort.

"Madam, the queen is still waiting, please please!" Su Ying looked as usual, and urged softly.

Pei Jinzhen glanced lightly, in the car, there was only Su Ying, and around, in addition to Su Ying, there was only one handlebar type.

The handlebar style was wearing a hat, pressed a little low, and covered most of his face, Xu was aware of Pei Jinji's gaze, so he also turned his head and clasped his fists to salute, "I've seen Madame." ”

The face under the hat was lightly raised, impartially, just enough for Pei Jinzhen to see clearly.

saw it clearly, but Pei Jinji's heart was tight, because the handlebar style was not an ordinary person. This person, she had seen, was the most trusted guard leader of Emperor Yonghe, and it seemed that his surname was Xu.

Pei Jinzhen's heart couldn't help but jump, perhaps, the expression on his face also changed in an instant.

All kinds of thoughts passed through his heart, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, lifted his skirt and got into the carriage.

The carriage swayed away from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and Su Ying said to Pei Jinzhen with a smile, "Let Madame be frightened." ”

Pei Jinzhen shook his head, "Hou Ye, I left a message according to the instructions in the queen's letter, and only turned back to the house, and Hou Ye was afraid that he would also ask." ”

"When Madame returns, she will naturally know what to say." Su Ying replied.

Pei Jinzhen lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

The carriage walked through the streets and alleys, deliberately detouring a lot, and then turned to the west of the city.

The west of the city is mostly a place where wealthy merchants live, but it is a little far away from the imperial city.

"Madame, rest assured, this is also for the sake of prudence, when she came, the queen mother instructed that she must not take her tail back. As for Madame's secret guard, someone will naturally bring it over when she turns around, and Madame doesn't have to worry. ”

Pei Jinzhen naturally didn't have the right to do more beaking, but his heart sank deeper and deeper, acting so cautiously must have something wrong.

But what kind of thing, Empress Zheng wanted to deliberately bypass Jing'anhou and find her?

Pei Jinzhen's mind was not at the right time, and the carriage finally stopped.

When I lifted the felt and looked out, it was a private house, the house of an ordinary merchant.

There is a pear tree in the courtyard wall, but at this time, there are still two thin pears hanging on the branches, and most of the leaves on the branches have fallen. The remaining half has also changed color.

Su Ying got out of the carriage first, and the guard, surnamed Xu, held the sword in his hand and tapped lightly on the door with the hilt of the sword.
