Chapter 243: A Trip to the North

The tenth princess is not a person who is forbearant and wronged, she said something happily, and drank half a pot of wine, because she was afraid that she would be drunk, so she asked Jinxiu to stop.

The four children were having fun, and even the first child, who couldn't walk a few steps, was dancing in the arms of his nursing mother, cheering for his brothers and sisters.

The wine glass in the hand of the tenth princess was replaced with sour plum soup, and she was dissatisfied: "It's not summer yet, what's the fun of drinking sour plum soup?" ”

"Then you changed the osmanthus brew for the princess, right?" Meteor Dao, although the osmanthus brew has some wine taste, it is not wine, and it is more appropriate to say that it is sugar water.

The tenth princess's eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.

"The maids that my sister picked for Man'er look good, I also want to find a few more for Ya'er, can you introduce Ya Po to me?" Jiang Changwan looked at Si Cha and Si Hua, and said to Song Zhi.

"These two are family children, not bought from outside." Song Zhi said.

Jiang Changwan lowered her eyes and shook her head gently, and said, "I also asked for a few people from my mother's house, but I'm really embarrassed to speak again, and the people in the house are all bought by my mother-in-law, and I can't trust it." ”

"Ya'er is her granddaughter after all, and it won't be bad for her if you think about it." Song Zhi soothed.

"But Ya'er lives in my yard now, if she chooses someone else's eyes and ears to come in, won't she be asking for trouble?" Since Jiang Changwan and Song Zhiren became mothers, they have worried about sorrow more often than before.

"Yikes!" Not far away, Man'er was chasing and playing with Ya'er, Man'er suddenly fell down, Si Cha and Si Hua hurriedly pounced, Song Zhi hurriedly got up, and even Jiang Changwan and the tenth princess were also startled, and hurriedly walked towards Man'er.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Song Zhi walked very fast with her skirt, stepped on an unstable stone and almost fell, fortunately she stabilized herself, the meteor was startled, and hurriedly hugged Song Zhi, but she didn't want Song Zhi to stand firm, but she slid down a small slope and was helped up by Jinxiu and Ruoquan.

The brute had already asked the water chestnut to hold in her arms, and the water chestnut pinched her calf with his hand to check for damage. Seeing that Song Zhi was in front of him, the water chestnut pinched Man'er's arm and said, "Princess, the princess is not injured." ”

"What's going on? The barbarian has been wrestling lately, always falling on the platform brick floor in the house, I see that the grass is soft, and the stones have been cleared early, how can it be so easy to fall? Song Zhi said worriedly.

"Listening to what the princess said, if the barbarian often falls, you should ask a doctor to take a good look." The tenth princess half-squatted down, plucked some blades of grass from Bao'er's body, and said to Song Zhi.

Song Zhi frowned when he heard this, and touched Man'er's head worriedly.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Song Zhi invited Dr. Wu to come, and Dr. Wu used a small hammer to beat on Man'er's leg, and told Man'er to jump. The brute trotted only a few steps in the room, and then fell, fortunately, on the soft carpet.

Si Cha Si Hua and Meteor rushed to hug her month by month, the heads of the four of them slammed together, and a big bag was picked up in an instant, and finally Song Zhi asked Liu Si Cha to go to the kitchen to get a few hard-boiled eggs to compress, and by the way, he handed over the brute to Si Hua and took him out.

"Tsk." Doctor Wu shook his head and said with a sad face: "Princess, I don't look at the princess's symptoms, but a little like the old princess's body. ”

"Mother-in-law?" Song Zhi saw Dr. Wu's expression like this, and knew that things were not good.

"Everyone thinks that the old princess likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move, but in fact, it is easy to get injured just because she moves, and she is like this, and she always seems to be unable to find the balance of her body." Doctor Wu said slowly.

"The balance of the body?" Song Zhi didn't understand a little and frowned.

Dr. Wu explained: "Drunk people are prone to staggering and even falling when they walk. Although the princess's symptoms are not as exaggerated as those of a drunken person, they are different from ordinary people. ”

"Possible healing?" Song Zhi asked anxiously.

Doctor Wu looked away slightly, which made Song Zhi's heart sink, only to see him ponder for a while, and then said: "If the princess refers to medicine and food supplements, most of them are useless, but there is another way, maybe it can, but it can't guarantee recovery." ”

"What's the solution?" Song Zhi asked tightly.

Doctor Wu looked at her and said two words, "Martial arts." ”

"Xi, martial arts?" Song Zhi repeated it suspiciously, seemingly a little unconvinced.

Doctor Wu nodded, "Practicing martial arts has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, and people who practice martial arts have a strong control over their bodies, I think this martial arts practice may be able to solve the princess's predicament." It's just that the hands and feet are thick, it's inevitable, I don't know if the princess minds? At the beginning, I also told the old princess about this method, but she considered it again and again, but did not adopt it. ”

Song Zhi frowned and said, "The more the princess grows up, the more serious this symptom will be?" ”

"Not really, it's just that as people grow up, their bodies become more bulky. The princess is also an active person, and she will always be more injured than others when she runs and jumps. But it doesn't matter, anyway, there are maids watching at home, and when you go out and sit in a sedan chair, just be careful. ”

Doctor Wu cleaned up his pulse pillow and said, "The princess doesn't have to boil any bone broth for the princess, it's useless." ”

"I'll discuss it with the prince, it's better to ask the barbarian to practice martial arts." Song Zhi seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly said.

Doctor Wu was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "The princess is not afraid that the princess will grow up and complain about you in the future?" ”

"Naturally, I have to discuss it with the barbarians." Song Zhi said something serious, so that Dr. Wu wanted to laugh a little, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what she said was right, could it be that because the child was young, she would not be asked to be the master of her own business?

After Shen Baiyan came back in the evening, Song Zhi told him about it, Shen Baiyan was silent for a moment, and said, "Tell the water chestnut to teach slowly in your own yard first, right?" ”

Song Zhi clapped his hands happily and said, "Why did you get together with me?" ”

Shen Baiyan twisted her cheek and said, "Husband and wife are already of the same heart. ”

Song Zhi smiled and snorted lightly, and asked someone to pass on the dinner. She had already eaten it herself, so she only held her cheeks and watched Shen Baiyan eat.

Shen Baiyan has always been unhurried in eating, a small bite of shrimp, a spoonful of chicken soup and a small bite of rice, halfway through eating, Shen Baiyan suddenly said: "The impostor invites you and me to go to the northern country." ”

Song Zhi straightened up and said in surprise: "Impostor? The two of us? Shen Baiyan nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Song Zhi asked puzzled, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"It's said that there are some border trades, and you want me to see it on the spot." Shen Baiyan put down the dishes and chopsticks and said.

"I should ask General Zhao Ci about the trade in the northern country, why did you ask you?" Song Zhi thought that the trade in the western border had always been controlled by Song Ling, so it was logical to think that the same was true in the northern border.

But Shen Baiyan shook his head and said, "General Zhao Ci has never advocated the exchange of markets between the Su Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom, and he has not had time to stumble, how can he support it?" ”

"But I remember that we are in the realm of intersection with the northern kingdom, don't we have a field? The imperial court also sent officials to garrison it. Song Zhi was even more puzzled.

Shen Baiyan smiled suddenly and said to Song Zhi, "If the imperial court sends an official to the Western Realm, although it means that it is a person sent by the imperial court, but in fact, who is the person in charge of the Western Realm?" ”

'Naturally, he is the father. Song Zhi said in his heart, and also understood Shen Baiyan's meaning.

"Do you have to go to the Northland?" Song Zhi asked, although the impostor and Shen Baiyan seemed to be familiar with each other, but when they arrived at someone else's realm, they always felt like inviting Jun into the urn.

"The invitation of the impostor came to the Queen Mother and the Emperor first, and then to me. I haven't said yes yet. The Queen Mother and the Emperor first responded for me, but now I don't want to go, I have to go. Shen Baiyan smiled mockingly, cast a relieved glance at Song Zhi, and said, "Don't be afraid, even if you want to go, you don't have to go." ”

"If you want to go, I'll go." Song Zhi said categorically, "Bringing a female dependent by your side can give you more reasons." For example, you can pretend that the female secret guard in Yu Xinlou is my maid, so that people will not be suspicious. ”

Shen Baiyan smiled slightly and said, "Madame is very scheming. ”

Song Zhi heard the meaning of the joke in his tone, and said both ashamedly and seriously: "When people tell you serious things, you just want to make fun of me." ”

Shen Baiyan restrained his expression and said seriously: "The border mutual market is indeed a thing that is beneficial to both countries. The western border has been at odds with us for many years, but the field is also more luxuriant than the northern border. Regardless of General Zhao Ci's personal likes and dislikes, we really don't have much contact with the northern country, so it doesn't hurt to go on this trip. ”

"But what's the danger?" Song Zhi cares most about this.

"If you're worried about the impostor luring us into the Northland, and then committing a crime, that's unlikely. He would not and would not bother to do such a thing. However, the northern kingdom is no different from the Su Dynasty, and the forces in the DPRK and China are also intertwined, and there are many people who hope that the two countries will go to war, or who want the impostor to make the Su Dynasty hostile, but they may attack us. Shen Baiyan held Song Zhi's hand and analyzed it to her little by little.

Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "If you take precautions early, you won't be too afraid." ”

Shen Baiyan saw that her thoughtful appearance was really cute, and he couldn't help but pinch it again, and said, "When the snow in the north melts a little more, that is, in early summer, it is the best time to set off for the northern country." If you're going to follow me, you'll need to pack some warm clothes now. ”

Song Zhi nodded again and again, but hesitated again, and said, "There are three children in the house now, as soon as I leave, what will they do?" ”

Shen Baiyan looked at Song Zhi's tangled face for a while before he spoke: "Before I came back, I went to see Old Lady Lin and asked him if he could raise the child under his knees for a few months. ”

"You've been planning to take me with you?" Song Zhi was surprised and said, "Why? ”

Shen Baiyan smiled slowly, his smile was like a spring breeze melting snow, and said: "I heard that the Imperial City of the Northern Kingdom is covered with snow in all seasons, and there are ice and snowflakes everywhere, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, I want to go with you to see it." Besides, you'll be fine with me. ”
