"Madam......" Nangong Ling called softly.

In fact, he was not gambling on this trip.

Bet that Zhu Xiao has an extraordinary background, they are dedicated to protecting it, and they also have the opportunity to leave here and return to the capital.

Take a step back, even if you can't return to the capital, at least leave Wucheng with your wife and children and go outside.

"Doctor, how many months am I pregnant?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"It's been seven months!"

"In other words, in March, you are going to give birth?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Xiao bowed slightly, "Thank you doctor for taking a trip in person!" ”

"Actually, I went on a trip myself, and I was also selfish!" Nangong Ling said.

"It's a pity that I disappointed the doctor!"

Nangong Ling laughed.

At a young age, I didn't expect to meet such an interesting woman today.

"It's not disappointment, isn't there a poem that says, the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, madam, if you really don't matter, who will poison you again and again? I have survived a few times, you must know that the poison you have is life-threatening, but you are still alive, and the child in your belly ......" Nangong Ling paused, "Do you want to show Madame anymore?" ”

“……”

Zhu Xiaoben wanted to say that he wouldn't watch it.

But he couldn't help it, so he asked Nangong Ling to take the pulse.

Nangong Ling gave Zhu Xiao a pulse, this time she was very serious, and said after a while, "From my experience, the child in Madame's belly has sound limbs and is the only ......."

"That's enough!" Zhu Xiao interrupted Nangong Ling's words.

Fang Mu and Fang Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief.

The limbs are sound, the intelligence is superior, as long as there is a heart, not to mention the cleverness, ordinary people are fine.

Zhu Xiao didn't leave Nangong Ling either, and after sending him away, he exhaled.

"Fang Zhi ......"

"Madame!"

"I'm a little tired, I'll sleep for a while!" Zhu Wan slowly entered the house.

Fang Zhi immediately went to fetch water to wash Zhu Xiao's face and feet, and loosened his hair.

helped Zhu Xiao to fall asleep, only then did he guard on the side, took the basket, and slowly sewed the clothes.

Zhu Xiao didn't sleep very well this night, she kept dreaming, in the dream she seemed to be being hugged to the garden, but she couldn't really see it, among the flowers, a child ran towards her.

"Mother!"

"The Mother ......"

Zhu Xiao woke up suddenly, and tears had already soaked the pillow.

Mother ......

can be called a concubine, it must be a wife, and no matter how bad it is, it is a side concubine.

But she felt that with her temperament, it was impossible to be a concubine.

"Madame!" Fang Zhi called softly.

Zhu Xiao said "um", raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, "Is Grandpa back?" ”

"I'm back, but the old lady is in a bad mood, his old man has been gone for many years!"

“……”

Zhu Xiaodian paused.

I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

After a lot of hard work, I went out and came back with a lot of hard work, but in the end it was just a failure.

The family is gone, and the girl I like when I come back is gone.

"Grandpa must be very uncomfortable!"

"After I came back, I never came out of the house since I entered the house, and Lan Kai was guarding over there!"

Zhu Xiao hesitated for a moment, "I'll go see Grandpa!" ”

After getting dressed and tidying up, Zhu Xiaocai walked to the courtyard where Old Man Meng lived, saying that it was their own yard, which was also an extra wall, separating the two sides and giving them more privacy.

Zhu Xiao came over, and Old Man Meng was really lying on the kang, looking at the roof in a daze.

I looked a little disheartened and devoid of energy.

Even when he was a beggar, he was miserable, and Old Man Meng still had a little bit of clear bones, after all, he came out of everyone's clan, and he had a background.

"Grandpa!" Zhu Xiao called softly and stepped forward to sit on the edge of the kang.

Tucked the quilt for Old Man Meng.

When Old Man Meng heard this, he looked at Zhu Xiao with his senses, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Once returned to the capital, his home was gone, his relatives were gone, he didn't cry, because he couldn't cry, and no one would feel sorry for him whether to cry or not.

Now that she has fallen to this side, she went to see the old man, leaving only a pile of loess, she had already married and had children, but she died many years early, her husband remarried, and now he and his steproom are still alive, facing him, her husband just glanced at him coldly, and then went into the house, but it was her son, who invited him to sit next door, took out the relics she left for him, and told him something about her.

With his departure, she had no choice but to marry.

Although she doesn't like this person at all, she can only marry and have children with him.

It's just that what I think about in my heart is about him.

At her grave, she didn't cry, she felt that crying was too fake, and only at this time, in front of Zhu Xiao, the granddaughter who had recognized her halfway, did Old Man Meng feel uncomfortable.

"Tiny ......"

"Grandpa!" Zhu Xiao called lightly and held Old Man Meng's old hand, "Grandpa, you still have me, you have the child in my belly, you have to be grandpa's person, you have to be good, don't you say?" ”

Zhu Xiao's warmth moved Old Man Meng.

I felt uncomfortable, but I gradually calmed down.

Bowed slightly, "Well, Grandpa will be fine, Grandpa will help you take care of the children in the future, so that you can earn money!" ”

"It's not just these, I plan to buy some fields in the mountains, and when the time comes, I will go with Grandpa to see what kind of location is good!"

Zhu Xiaorou whispered to Old Man Meng about his plans, and he could be regarded as a person to discuss.

Old man Meng has seen a lot, and after so many years outside, the benefits of buying a field always outweigh the disadvantages.

"Good!" Old man Meng answered.

Although he felt uncomfortable, because of Zhu Xiao's intimacy, he felt a lot better, and Zhu Qi needed to pay attention to the things he needed to pay attention to when buying a field.

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to sell all the jade bracelets and gold bracelets in my hand, and I have more silver in my hand to do some trading!" Zhu paused slightly, "Our family has to eat and drink, and when the child is born, there are more places to spend silver!" ”

"It's Grandpa who dragged you down!" Old man Meng sighed with emotion.

"Grandpa said so, it's too much to see, the two of us can't say who drags down whom, along the way because of Grandpa's care, I can come to this Wucheng safely, although it is easy to get out recently, but I believe that one day, I will leave here!"

Old man Meng smiled, "Okay, Grandpa is waiting!" ”

The relationship between the two is a lot closer because of getting along and because of their heart-to-heart.

It's just that Old Man Meng is old, and secondly, he is sad in his heart, and he is still sick.

Zhu Xiao invited Nangong Ling to come over to see Grandpa.

"There are a lot of old diseases, and I am too sad, and I hurt my heart, I must insist on taking the medicine, and then I will be able to get better in a few days!" Nangong Ling whispered.

I have the heart to hear some news from Zhu Xiao.

He actually wanted to give Zhu Xiao an injection, stimulate Zhu Xiao, and see if he could let her remember useful news.

He, Hu Sanye, and the county commander, are really putting all their hopes on Zhu Xiao now, thinking that Zhu Xiao is the wife of a high-ranking official and powerful family, but he must not be a certain princess.

When I went back yesterday, I couldn't help but go to find Hu Sanye, and Hu Sanye invited the county magistrate again, and the three of them discussed it for a long time, but they didn't discuss anything.

After being here for a long time, I only know a limited amount of things, so I finally decided to let people go to the capital to find out, is there any princess surnamed Zhu?

Old man Meng wanted not to take medicine, after all, medicine is expensive, but Zhu Xiao insisted and asked Nangong Ling to prescribe medicine, Lan Kai went to Po Chai Hall to get the medicine back, fried it and gave it to Old Man Meng, Old Man Meng really couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

"Lan Kai, Grandpa, you are so good to take care of it, call me if you have something!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Zhu Xiao has to give those little beggars a meal every day, and there is one more soybean milk in the morning, grinding soy milk, Lan Kai can do it, the other is Fang Zhi and her mother are busy in the kitchen, Lan Kai carries it to the back door, a bowl for a child, although it is light pulp, it feels much more comfortable to eat a bowl, compared to being hungry, it is already a great blessing to have a bowl of hot soy milk to drink.

In the afternoon, you can also have a bud rice steamed bun, or a sweet potato.

The little beggars are actually very sensible, they come to eat and leave, basically no longer wandering around, but they get a lot of firewood for Zhu Xiao, pile it up at the back door, and Lan Kai gets it into the house and piles a lot of it.

Zhu Xiao stood under the eaves, looked at the firewood, large and small, and said to Lan Kai, "These firewoods, they are all wrung by hand!" ”

"It should be, they don't have any firewood knives!"

Zhu Xiao pondered slightly, "You go buy a few firewood knives, give them to them, and let them chop firewood, at this time, many people in the county have to sell firewood, even if it is cheaper, at least enough for them to buy a steamed bun!" ”

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Zhu Xiao thought clearly.

"......" Lan Kai hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head, "Then the little one is going!" ”

"Well, go ahead!"

Lan Kai did not dare to delay, and immediately went to the blacksmith shop to buy ten firewood knives, and went to find those little beggars outside the city.

"Brother Lankai!"

Lan Kai looked at them, these little beggars were huddled together, and when they saw Lan Kai, they were very excited, thinking that the lady had brought them food again.

"You are old, come out ten!" Lankay spoke up.

After squeezing for a while, ten boys stood in front of Lan Kai, "Brother Lan Kai! ”

Lan Kai handed them the firewood knives, "This is the firewood knife given to you by Madame, let you go to the mountains to collect firewood, after this firewood is sold, you will have money to buy food, but Madame has a request, that is, you must work together, the big one should take care of the small one, the small one should listen to the big one, and the girls, you must take care of some more!" ”

“……”

Looking at the hatchet in his hand.

The ten boys felt excited and heavy, "But Brother Lan Kai, will anyone want Wen Min's firewood?" ”

"You just go and cut it back, and Madame will find a way to help you sell it!" Lan Kai patted a child on the shoulder, "Now that Madame has found a way for you to live, you must remember Madame's kindness, and you must work harder, and when Madame does the business, there are many places where you need firewood!" ”

"Madame doesn't need money for firewood!" A boy said.

The others hurriedly chimed in, "Well, no money!" ”

Lan Kai smiled, "You can think like this, it's good, in the future, you will go to the mountains in the morning to chop wood, and then I will bring you food, and then teach you some fist and foot kung fu by the way, even this broken temple, you must also clean it up, don't be messy and dirty like this, you have hands and feet, you can do these jobs by yourself!" ”

The kids got it.

In the past, it was extremely difficult to go out every day to beg for food, and it was extremely difficult to have a bite to eat, so I only ate for a few days, so I naturally cherished it.

After Lan Kai came back, he discussed with Zhu Xiao and adopted these children, he came to teach them kung fu, and there were more places where they could be used in the future, the girls followed Fang Zhi to learn embroidery, and the embroidered purse could also be sold outside, but these had to be done by Zhu Xiao.

"I'll write a post, you send it to Hu's house, and see when my godfather and godmother are free to meet me!"

"Yes!"

This kind of thing has to be Zhu Xiaoxian's initiative, and the Hu family immediately replied and asked Zhu Xiao to go tomorrow morning.

Since he was going to Zhu Xiao, he also asked Fang's mother to make a few snacks, and took Fang Zhi and Lan Kai out of the house and went to Hu's house.

Mrs. Hu was waiting at the door, and when she saw Zhu Xiao, she laughed, "Xiaoxiao! ”

"Godmother!"

Mrs. Hu smiled and shook Zhu Xiao's hand, "It's strange cold outside, let's warm up the hall and talk, the county magistrate is also there!" ”

"Godmother, I ......" Zhu Xiao was surprised.

"We all know what you did, but you did it with a good starting point and a good intention, but it wasn't suitable in the end, so your godfather knew that you were coming over, so he invited the county magistrate to come together, let's discuss and discuss, how to make this thing perfect!"

"Thank you godfather and godmother for planning for me!"

"If only you understood!"

In the warm hall, the county commander and Hu Sanye were talking, and when they saw Zhu Xiao coming in, they stopped talking.

"I've seen my godfather, I've seen the county magistrate!"

"Mrs. Zhu doesn't have to be polite!" The prefectural order is humane.

Hu Sanye bowed his head, "You are pregnant now, don't stand, sit!" ”

"Hmm!"

After Zhu Xiao sat down, the county order didn't say anything, and directly told Zhu Xiao about the children in the Gang, and also sighed, "You are kind to do this, but do you know that those are the people who were sent to Wucheng by the Holy Lord and will never be pardoned!" ”

"I know, it's just adults, these children, if they really don't have anything to eat, this winter has passed, and in the coming year, I'm afraid that they will die a lot, I just do my best to give them food, they also know gratitude, and they get a lot of firewood, even if it's a big mistake, they have been punished, and the child is innocent!"

I don't know what the prefectural order is.

It's just one thing to know, and it's another thing not to dare to do it.

Speaking of which, he is not as bold as a woman.

"But this kind of thing, I can't be the master alone, although I am the county commander, but the person in charge of this Wucheng is the general!"

Zhu Xiao pursed his lips, "My lord, I don't know if you can pull a line and let me meet the general!" ”

"This ......" the prefectural order was a little hesitant.

This General Zheng is ruthless and ruthless, and no one is afraid of this whole Wucheng when he talks about his county order, but when it comes to this General Zheng, everyone is afraid.

Because of his iron-faced selflessness and the disapproval of his six relatives, in his place, no matter who you are, as long as you commit something, it is useless for anyone to intercede.

"I'm afraid I won't see this General Zheng!"

“……”

Zhu Xiao thought for a while, "Is there really no chance at all?" ”

"Ninety percent no!"

Zhu Xiao insisted, "Since there is no hope for ninety percent, there is still one percent hope, so adults will work harder, let me meet this general!" ”

Zhu Zhu remembered something again, "Is this general married?" ”

"Yet, the general is clean and self-loving, and there is no one around him to serve, some people say that the general has a habit in that regard!"

If you don't have a woman, you just like a man.

A great general with a broken sleeve?

"Since you haven't yet, then it's time to trouble your lords!"

"I'll try my best!" The prefectural order is humane.

This General Zheng did have the right to let a few people from Wucheng go out, but he never gave anyone this opportunity.

Zhu Xiao told Hu Sanye and the county magistrate what he remembered, and asked them that if someone went to the capital, remember to find the miracle doctor Yun Fuluo, and ask him if he knew Zhu Xiao?

Zhu Xiao said again that he wanted to sell things, buy things to grow in the mountains, a gold bracelet, a jade bracelet, Hu Sanye gave Zhu Xiao a hundred taels of silver, as for how much was sold, Zhu Xiao didn't ask or care, it was all Hu Sanye's business.

Hu Sanye also wanted to earn this amount of money, but Mrs. Hu glared at Hu Sanye several times.

I feel that they are all a family, and it is so clear, there is less family warmth and more utilitarianism.

Zhu Xiao thinks it's very good, public is public, private is private, it's clear and clear, it's good!

Is this to buy land, Zhu Xiao plans to buy ten taels of silver, the meaning of the county order is to let Zhu Xiao open thirty-five acres, thirty-five acres is really big, the mountain can be opened, and the foot of the mountain is also OK, that is, this place has to be chosen by Zhu Xiao himself, and after choosing the place, go to the yamen to say, the yamen will send someone to measure the land, and it will be reclaimed.

Because of Hu Sanye, this is an extra five acres, and when the people from the yamen go to measure, there will definitely be two more acres, and Zhu Xiao only needs to take care of one meal here.

Zhu Xiao still wants to build a few houses over there, settle those children, and become good citizens, able to marry a wife and have children, grow crops for her, and live a life of food and clothing.

You don't have to be so upside down, and your life will be gone.

Coming out of the Hu family, Zhu Xiao was not idle, and asked Lan Kai to take her out of the city to see the place.

Lan Kai grew up here and knows a lot about the vicinity of Wucheng, "Madam, there are several places outside the county seat, and one of them is still in the valley, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"Good!" Zhu Xiaocai responded.

I saw a group of people riding horses and running, and the dozen or so people were wearing armor, Zhu Xiao just looked at it and didn't get into the carriage.

The person who led the group didn't care, but after seeing Zhu Xiao's appearance, "Huh! ”

As if anxious and eager, he pulled the reins of the horse.

The horse neighed, and its front hooves were raised high.

Falling to the ground again, he rode on his horse and jolted a few times.

Zhigou was a little presumptuous, but he looked at Zhu Xiao cautiously.

“……”

At this moment, Zheng Huaiyuan felt that he had seen it wrong, how could that person be Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Xiao married King Yi and became Princess Yi, King Yi ascended the throne as the emperor, she is the queen, how can she be in Wucheng here.

It must be a mistake.

Zheng Huaiyuan thought so, and galloped away on horseback.

His subordinates looked at Zhu Xiao one after another, and said secretly, this little daughter-in-law is really good-looking, no wonder their generals couldn't help but stop and take a look, but it's a pity that it's a pregnant woman and a man.

hurriedly chased after Zheng Huaiyuan again, "General, wait!" ”

Looking at those who were far away, Zhu Xiao pursed his lips, "Lan Kai, is the man who is the leader General Zheng?" ”

"Madame Hui, yes!"

It turned out that he was General Zheng, and he looked good.

But that look just now ......

Zhu Xiaoxiao smiled, she was a little sure of seducing such a man.

"Get in the carriage and see the place you mentioned!"

"Yes!"

Fang Zhi helped Zhu Xiao into the carriage before saying, "Then General Zheng looks so majestic!" ”

"It's quite majestic!"

But it's just majestic.

The place Lan Kai said, Zhu Xiao liked it at a glance.

Really, the location is good, the carriage is parked on the side of the road, Lan Kai walks in front, she walks behind, and it is just a cup of tea, and it is to the valley.

Entering the valley, the field of vision suddenly broadened, small streams flowed, mountains surrounded the valley, it is not a problem to open more than 30 acres of land, even Tian Xing may be able to reclaim a few acres out.

"This place is really nice, it's close to the county seat, I really want to get it right, I want to live here!" Zhu Xiao whispered.

There are no people here, and it doesn't get in the way of anyone by building a road from the outside, and when the fields are more cultivated, and the children will grow up, and they will become a small village, and live together in harmony, how good!

"It's good that Madame likes it here!"

"I like it here, when I go back, you will bring the people from the yamen to measure the land, I see that the location here is very large, you see how much energy there is, measure it out!"

"Madame wants to buy a lot of land?"

"It's better to buy more, it's not like there are hundreds of children, all of them calling to come and work!"

"But ......Madame," Lan Kai hesitated.

"Don't worry, if it's really General Zheng who is in charge, I have a way to get him to agree, even if these children can't go out of Wucheng, I can still fight for them as a good citizen!"

“……”

Lan Kai didn't understand why Zhu Xiao was so sure at first, but when he went back, he saw General Zheng waiting alone at the city gate, and Lan Kai understood.

Zheng Huaiyuan returned to the mansion in Wucheng, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and several subordinates said that the little woman was good-looking, that is, she was pregnant, and she was a man's woman.

He had someone in his heart, and he never thought of marrying a wife.

But this moment, looking at the identical face, his heart moved.

He really can't get it in his life, after all, he knows how much the Emperor of the Apocalypse loves Zhu Xiao.

After a few more glances, he was beaten so badly for that bowl of sparrow meat.

This fake can also comfort the emptiness and unwillingness in my heart.

So the ghost sent the god to the gate of the city, thinking about meeting her, saying a few words to her, imagining that Zhu Xiao was in front of him.

Although a little mean, a little shameless.

But at this moment, he saw the carriage coming slowly, and his whole blood was boiling, his heart was beating faster, and he almost couldn't control himself......
