Chapter 483: An Eventful Summer
It's not autumn, but it's an eventful day.
As soon as Sanniang finished talking with the old princess about the education of the county lord of Huilan, Bai Guo came over and said with some surprise and indescribable excitement: "Miss, the mother-in-law who went out of the kitchen just now came back and said that she saw many officials wearing swords walking over from the West Street, and some of them were shackled in their hands. They all said that the emperor had sent officers and soldiers to raid the house. ”
Sanniang was stunned when she heard this, thought about it, and turned her head to look at Bai Lan.
Bai Lan nodded and quietly retreated.
Sanniang returned to her yard and rested for a while.
In less than half an hour, Bai Lan returned.
"Young lady, those officers and soldiers went to Sun's house. The street in front of Sun's house has been tightly guarded by officers and soldiers, and I am afraid that even flies will not be able to fly out of it. The slaves and maids could hear the sobs of the Sun family's maids and sons just outside. ”
Although Sanniang already had a guess in her heart, she still felt a little cold in her heart when she heard Bai Lan say this. This kind of thing of raiding the family and exterminating the clan used to be just a word for her, and she felt very far away from her. Even in ancient times, she didn't see it in person.
And those people in the Sun family, she recognizes them, and they are still her cousins. She felt like she couldn't imagine it.
It's just that this time the emperor's actions are really fast. The whole city was immersed in the joy of the birth of the third prince, and they didn't want the emperor to start at this time.
"I see, you go down." Sanniang sighed, she didn't want to ask about any details. The only thing to be thankful for is that Sun Yujie had married in a low-key manner a few days ago, and Sun Jinsheng, who was familiar with her, had already become unwell with the Sun family and had left the capital. They shouldn't be implicated.
When Xuan Shao came back in the evening, he also mentioned this matter.
Sanniang knew that the emperor suddenly attacked the Sun family when he was in the last dynasty. Even a moment ago, he was still asking the officials of the Ministry of Rites to draft the name of the newborn third prince. So when the emperor ordered the Imperial Forest Army to raid the Sun family, most of the people in the palace had not yet reacted. In addition to the Sun family, there are two other families in a similar situation to the Sun family. Up and down in the middle. The joy brought by the birth of the third prince dissipated a lot, and the ministers of the court and the central government began to panic, and even the families who held wedding banquets with great fanfare were much less.
The days went by like this, and the temperature did not drop. But the rain never came, and people understood that they had encountered a year of great drought.
The capital is quite good, there is always no shortage of water to drink, and the hardship is in those farmers who rely on the sky to eat. Many fields have become barren due to lack of irrigation water. Autumn has not yet arrived, and everyone is already worried about how to survive the winter. Droughts and floods are always accompanied by famine.
The people's call for the emperor to worship the sky is getting louder and louder, as if the emperor only needs to bow to the sky, and it will rain.
Under these calls, the emperor issued an order to pray for rain on behalf of the Prince of Heaven instead of the Temple of Heaven.
Although it was not the emperor himself who went, the son of the Son of Heaven was also the son of a dragon, so most of the people were at peace. But discordant cries remain.
At the beginning of August, Prince Li led a long procession of dependents. I went to the Temple of Heaven on the southeastern outskirts of the capital.
It's just that before Prince Li arrived at the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Heaven suddenly caught fire, and Prince Li was forced to stop on the road. The news reached the court. The ministers were in an uproar. The emperor ordained that the prince should immediately turn around.
The fire in the Great Prayer Hall was quickly brought under control and did not burn widely, but this incident added more dark clouds to the hearts of the people.
Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the news, because this time Wang Jing was also in Prince Li's team, and their duty was to maintain order on the periphery.
Fortunately, when Xuan Shao came back, he told her that this incident was an accident, and the emperor did not blame Prince Li, and Wang Jing and these people had not yet arrived at the Temple of Heaven with Prince Li at that time. Even if the emperor wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, Wang Jing will not be implicated. Sanniang was relieved.
The next day, the emperor issued a decree to proclaim. He will bathe and fast for 7749 days, and invite the monks of the Great Compassion Temple to enter the palace and recite scriptures and pray for blessings.
These have nothing to do with Sanniang, but the Xue family sent someone over to tell the old princess that they would take Sanniang back. Although she didn't say what the reason was, Sanniang also guessed that it should be because of the full moon of Xue's daughter, and she was afraid that she was embarrassed to post a post to invite people. So he vaguely said that he would invite her back to dinner.
The old princess should also understand, so she allowed Sanniang to go back without saying a word.
So on this day, Sanniang got into the car sent by the Wang family and returned to her mother's house in Mao'eryan Hutong. Xuan Shao was still very busy, but he still said that he would go to Wang's house to pick her up later and go back to the house together.
Since Xue's birth, Sanniang has not seen Xue's, the newborn sister. To be honest, I still have some expectations in my heart.
"Miss, Sanqi's hands are so skillful, look at this little hat and clothes." Ginkgo was also excited. She is always happy to return to the Wang family, because others will always say that she is blessed to follow the third lady, and she is still happy to be able to show off among the young ladies in the past.
Sanniang looked up at the very small clothes, shoes and socks that Bai Guo held in her hand, and she also felt very cute, so she couldn't help but take them and appreciate them.
Sanniang had already instructed the maids in the house to do needlework for Xue's daughter when they were free, and among her maids, Sanqi, who didn't like to talk, was the best in needlework. So she did half of the work.
Sanniang likes Sanqi's temperament very much, she doesn't fight, but she can always do the things she tells her to do well. The only drawback is that it is not very sociable. belongs to the kind of people who can't hit an X with a stick.,This kind of person is generally stable and reliable.。
Before Sanniang entered Beijing, Mama Chang once said that she wanted Sanniang to marry Sanqi before she got married. When Chang Mama was rewarded for entering Beijing with Sun, Sanniang asked Chang Mama what she meant, and when she didn't want to call Sanqi for questioning, Sanqi was very resolute and said that she wanted to continue to follow Sanniang. Mama Chang has no choice but to follow the meaning of Sanqi.
Sanniang looked at Sanqi and smiled: "It took a lot of time to wear so many clothes, right?" ”
Sanqi shook his head: "The slave is used to it, it will be very fast, it won't take long." ”
Bai Guo smiled and said: "What I brought today are all the clothes of female dolls, and Sanqi has also made many little boys." Miss, go back and see, it's more delicate than these. ”
Sanniang was stunned: "Has anyone given birth to a boy recently?" After speaking, seeing that the maids were all pursed their lips, Sanniang immediately understood. Fortunately, she is not suitable for ancient people, and she will not blush for this kind of thing.
Sanqi said in a rare way: "I have done everything year-round, and I have everything, and Miss doesn't have to worry about not having enough clothes when the time comes." The clothes are also leftovers from the time when the young lady and aunt were making clothes. It's all good. ”
Sanniang smiled: "Then I'm sorry for you." ”
Zhuang Wang's Mansion is not too far from Mao'eryan Hutong, so he arrived at it as he spoke.
Sanniang has been living here since she entered Beijing, and it stands to reason that she is no longer a stranger, but it is very strange. When Sanniang got out of the carriage, she still felt a sense of distance when she saw these familiar buildings.
Thinking that he had gone to the place in Zhuangwang's Mansion that he didn't really like, he felt familiar and friendly, and Sanniang was a little confused. She had heard the words "because of a person, fall in love with a city", is there such a thing as falling in love with a house because of a person? Although there are many people in this house, she doesn't like them.
The grandmother sent by the Xue family to pick up Sanniang enthusiastically led Sanniang into the door, and the Wang family basically did not change. Even the two koi fish she raised before she got married were still the same two, but unconsciously, Sanniang's mood was different.
Sanniang went straight to the main house of the Xue family, and after the Sun family left, the Xue family and Wang Dong had already moved back to their original place.
Xue was sitting on the kang with a small baby in his arms. Seeing Sanniang come in, Xue Shi smiled, but put his hand to his lips and made a silent gesture. Sanniang found that it turned out to be the little doll in Xue's arms and was asleep.
Sanniang walked over even more lightly. Very curious, he looked into Xue's arms. The child is still young, and I can't tell who he looks more like, but he is white and pink. It can't help but be rare at first glance.
Sanniang couldn't help but touch her little arms that were exposed like lotus roots, soft and slippery, Sanniang finally understood what it meant to have skin like clotted fat.
Seeing Sanniang's cautious movements, Xue couldn't help but smile, her smile was very gentle, making people feel warm at first sight. When a mother becomes a mother, even her smile is a little more beautiful than before.
Xue carefully put the child on the kang, and recruited the maid to come over and guard the side, then pulled Sanniang out and went to the main hall.
"I want to talk to you. I'll send someone to pick you up earlier, and they won't be able to come over until later. Xue Shi took Sanniang to the second room on the other left before whispering.
Sanniang smiled: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I have a lot to say to you." The two sat down.
Sanniang looked Xue up and down, and said with a smile: "Mother, you have changed. ”
Xue Shi was stunned: "Where has it changed?" ”
Sanniang blinked: "It's a little fatter, but it's better." ”
Xue Shi's face turned red when he heard this: "This month, I just sat on the bed and ate all the time. Can you not get fat? I'm wondering if it will become a big bucket after a while. ”
Sanniang was amused, and before the two said a word, there was a cry over there.
Xue Shi hurriedly stood up and rushed out.
Sanniang followed, and saw that the doll, who had just fallen asleep, woke up and was being coaxed by Xue.
Xue Shi looked at Sanniang helplessly and said, "I always have to hold it, and I cry as soon as I put it down." You go sit first, and I'll put her to sleep and come over." ”
