Chapter 389: A Heavy Burden

After Song Yang wrote a letter to the imperial court and a secret letter to the border generals, Yelang went to the border pass in person after arranging the person who sent the letter.

Although he knew the content of Song Yang's secret letter, Yelang still left a few people near the border pass, in case there were special circumstances, they could assist the army to defend the city, at least they could report the situation of the border pass to the Fucheng side as soon as possible.

Before Yelang returned to the village, Song Yang had the homeless villagers and the people of his village temporarily moved away to prevent them from being in danger.

As for how these people will be resettled in the future, it is still up to them to choose, whether they can settle down in a place with a better environment, or they can return here.

"My lord, that demon girl wants to see your lord." Zhang Qiang, who had been in charge of peripheral affairs, came in to report to Song Yang.

"What do you say?" Song Yang raised his eyebrows, only disgusted with Ai Siqi.

A woman who treats human life like a mustard even crippled Song Yang, how can Song Yang not hate Ai Siqi?

"She refused to reveal it to her subordinates, only saying that if the adults didn't see her, she would definitely regret it." Zhang Qiang said truthfully.

If it weren't for Ai Siqi's threatening words, Zhang Qiang would not have told Ai Siqi at all, none of them didn't want to cut Ai Siqi with a thousand knives, but they were the officials of the imperial court, not only could they not kill Ai Siqi, but they also had to be responsible for protecting her, otherwise Ai Siqi would have been torn apart by the people in the village.

Song Yang raised his head and glanced out, only to see that the village was completely white, except for the white snow covered, that is, every household hung up white spirits, and this was all caused by Ai Siqi, how many lives did she owe to the people?

Thinking of this, Song Yang said coldly: "From today onwards, you only need to give Ai Siqi a bowl of cold porridge a day, and on the premise of ensuring that she can live, don't give her any preferential treatment as a captive, unless it is a matter of her life, you don't have to report it to this official." ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Qiang was about to jump up with joy, God knows that every day he 'serves' Ai Siqi, and their godbrothers have to hold their breath.

Especially those officials who had been humiliated by Ai Siqi, if they weren't afraid that Ai Siqi's abuse would affect Song Yang, they would have started to teach Ai Siqi a lesson.

Anyway, it took a long time for Ai Siqi to be escorted to the capital, and even if she was injured, it was almost fine, and even if the injury was not good, it could be explained that she wanted to escape and was injured during the arrest.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to stand on Ai Siqi's side to testify, and Zhang Qiang and others will not show mercy.

didn't miss the change in Zhang Qiang's expression, but Song Yang had no intention of stopping it, even if he didn't avenge his legs because of his identity, so many people who died in vain would have to be wronged.

"Tell Ai Siqi, don't think how strong the wolf army of the Helba clan is, and don't expect anyone to rescue her, if she is safe, at least the official can ensure that she enters Beijing safely." Song Yang closed his eyes and said indifferently.

Regardless of whether Ai Siqi was really tempted by Song Yang, Song Yang didn't want to be involved with such a woman, not to mention his current situation, it was difficult to guarantee that Ai Siqi would always be sanity.

Zhang Qiang nodded seriously and turned to leave.

Thrown from the wing room to the temporarily reinforced firewood room, Ai Siqi was furious, but her roar was only exchanged for the fists and kicks of the officials, and no amount of anger could only be endured except for cursing.

Although Ai Siqi is a beautiful woman, people who don't know her identity will be deceived by her innocent face, but they know what kind of ruthless character Ai Siqi is, and the officials have absolutely no pity for her, and they don't even have the intention of taking advantage.

But the officials are still very measured, it is okay to beat and abuse Ai Siqi, there is no slack in the guard, they all know very well what it means to Song Yang if Ai Siqi is lost.

Until Yelang's return, Ai Siqi's situation still hasn't changed, if it weren't for Song Yang's future and reputation, Yelang would have disabled Ai Siqi a long time ago, but he taught a little lesson twice, and it was already his disregard for Ai Siqi.

After handing over the reply letter to Song Yang, Yelang checked Song Yang's injuries, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The eldest brother's leg is recovering well, and I can leave in two days, the medicine I have on my body is not complete, and I will ask the eldest brother to take a good look after returning to the mansion, there is a doctor from the Divine Doctor Valley on the Xingchen side, and the medical skills are good." ”

Yelang said this, just to make Song Yang feel at ease, even if Shen Liu was in the mansion, Yelang would take people away, so as not to discover the secret of the spiritual spring water.

Song Yang smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "Well, I believe that I will be able to stand up soon." ”

"I believe that the eldest brother has such perseverance, and God will not treat good people badly." Ye Lang replied with a faint smile, for the sake of Song Xingchen, he was willing to talk to Song Yang more, as long as Song Yang could regain his self-confidence.

Song Xingchen, who was in Fucheng, had also received a message from Yelang that Yelang had asked people to pass it back, and Yelang mentioned in the letter that Song Yang was injured and contracted with a cold, so the return journey would be slower, and he did not explain how serious the situation was, but also to let Song Xingchen have a psychological preparation.

Therefore, although Song Xingchen was worried about Song Yang's situation, he did not reach the point of being unable to sleep at night, and he was happy to prepare for Song Yang's return.

Not only that, Song Xingchen was very high-profile to let people reveal the news of Song Yang's imminent return, so that those who were constantly looking for Hangzhou Hang's stubble could settle down.

"Miss is really good to uncle, I'm afraid that my uncle will taste it." Apple watched Song Xingchen arrange something for a while, and was afraid that Song Yang would not live comfortably after he came back, so he couldn't help but quip.

"No, the gift I prepared for Yelang, you must not guess, this time the eldest brother can return safely, Yelang is the first hero." Song Xingchen had a smug expression, as if he was saying, 'My man is great'!

Apple covered her mouth and chuckled, seeing that the smile on Song Xingchen's face was getting more and more, she was also happy.

In the past, when Song Yue and others were pregnant, Song Xingchen always said that he was most afraid that they would get depression during pregnancy and confinement, that is, caused by negative emotions such as unhappiness or inner turmoil, Apple has always kept it in mind.

This time Song Xingchen was pregnant, first Yelang was absent for a long time, and then all kinds of things were piled up, Song Xingchen often sighed and frowned, Apple was really afraid that she would get depression.

Although Apple tried hard to make Song Xingchen laugh, Apple felt distressed when he looked at that kind of unintentional smile.

"Miss is so good, and the person who can be the husband of Miss is naturally very good, otherwise how can she be worthy of Miss?" Apple catered to it: "After the little master is born, it will definitely be better than the blue, and then the young lady and the aunt will be compared, and the slave really can't imagine that the little master will look for relatives in the future, where to find a suitable person." As for those who take the initiative to come to the door to climb relatives, the young lady must not agree at will, otherwise she will be wronged by the little master. ”

"Before he was born, you began to look towards him, who is your master?" Song Xingchen deliberately kept a straight face, but there were still smiles on the corners of his mouth.

Although the child has not yet been born, in Song Xingchen's opinion, his own child is the best, isn't it the case as a mother?

The master and servant walked in the courtyard, and from time to time there was laughter.

Because Song Xingchen likes snow, and also thinks that white snowflakes can purify the air and kill some germs, so he instructed the people in the yard to clean the first path after every snowfall, and try to leave a few days to clean it again.

The clothes of the master and servant are not bright and gorgeous, but they are not ordinary materials, especially the layer of streamer yarn covered by Song Xingchen, under the sunlight and snow, it looks so dreamy, looking at the back as if it is a fairy descending to the earth.

Of course, even if you look at the front, it is a pregnant fairy, absolutely beautiful and difficult to take your eyes off.

"Qiyu county lord, the imperial court sent someone here, Hang Tanhua came to report and asked the county lord to go to the back hall of the mansion." The official wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and reported outside the small courtyard where Song Xingchen was temporarily staying.

Song Xingchen nodded lightly and said to the servant: "Go back to Hangzhou to explore flowers, just say that the county lord will arrive later." ”

Apple helped Song Xingchen back to the bedroom, and when the court came, Song Xingchen had to wear formal clothes, so that he would not be despised by the other party.

After changing into the county lord's court clothes, Song Xingchen instructed Apple: "Let people prepare a banquet to receive the people sent by the imperial court." ”

"According to what specifications?" Only then did Apple remember that since he had forgotten to ask the official what the identity of the person sent by the imperial court was.

"Just according to our usual meals, the negative impact of the natural disasters in the dry city has not been eliminated, the prefect is still suffering, since the county lord is a messenger, he must set an example and not be extravagant and wasteful." Song Xingchen chuckled and said: "There is a temporary guest room over there in the mansion, let Hang Hang arrange their accommodation, this backyard is the county lord who lives temporarily, you can't let the county lord go to the guest house with a big belly in order to avoid suspicion, right?" ”

Hearing the ridicule in Song Xingchen's words, Apple knew that Song Xingchen was choked in his heart.

Although Song Yang was willing to come to Dry City, but he was originally very promising in the capital, the emperor used the test as an excuse to transfer Song Yang to Dry City to be the prefect, and let the Song family empty their family wealth in disguise to support Song Yang's political achievements.

Although Song Xingchen was a little reluctant to give up the matter of silver, he would not always keep it in his heart, but Song Yang was in distress this time, and Song Xingchen was really angry in his heart.

The dignified prefect, there are only so many people around him, or in this kind of border city, the court simply does not care about the lives of officials, and any local snake dares to act as a blessing on the head of the official.

Apple nodded to indicate that she understood, and squatted down to arrange the hem of Song Xingchen's skirt so as not to have any flaws.

The costumes of the county lords of the Great Zhou Kingdom are not cumbersome, but they are also graceful and luxurious, especially the ones inlaid with a lot of gems and beautiful feathers to show their identity, and the beauty is beautiful but a little heavy.

Now that Song Xingchen is pregnant, it is a little uncomfortable to wear such a heavy court dress.

"The slave will send the young lady over, and then come back to arrange other matters." Apple was afraid that Song Xingchen would be tired, so he helped Song Xingchen walk.

"How can you be so squeamish, let people see it, and think that your young lady's body is so heavy that she can't even walk, and she can't laugh to death." Song Xingchen held his hair and said: "It's this headdress, it's too heavy, don't those officials in the Ministry of Rites know to cut corners?" To make such a solid gold crown is to break people's necks! ”

"Miss is content, the slave remembers the princess's golden crown, that's really Shen, it's much bigger than Miss, not to mention, there are as many as five Dongzhu on it alone, I heard that except for one is the size specified by the ancestral system, the rest is rewarded by the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen." Apple lowered her voice and laughed: "The strawberry girl also secretly counted that on the crown of the princess's hair, there are a total of eighty-eight pearls, and a total of eighteen large and small gems. Although the golden crown is really beautiful and even more valuable, the slave maid really feels sorry for the princess, so slender body has to carry such a heavy gold crown, and she is wearing so many layers of court clothes, how hard it is. ”

Song Xingchen shuddered after hearing this, "Fortunately, I only wear court clothes occasionally, otherwise I really can't stand it, but it's really embarrassing for the princess." ”

The master and servant chatted first and walked in the direction of the back hall of the yamen, without the slightest intention of rushing to see people.

And if their conversation is overheard, they may be charged with disrespecting the royal family.

Although they are telling the truth, how many people envy this 'heavy' burden and can't help it, you must know that the burden represents glory and power, and it is inexhaustible wealth.
