Chapter 259: Sparks in the Plains (2)
Chen Sida snapped and spit out the dog tail grass stalk that he was chewing in his mouth.
He's been a little annoyed lately.
He joined the army at the age of thirteen, became the best scout of the Yan army at the age of fifteen, was selected as the spy agency of Yan at the age of seventeen, and became one of the leaders in charge of the spy of Jindi at the age of twenty-five. Forty days ago, he received an order to return to Yandi without warning, and rushed back to Yongzhou desperately, with the result that together with nineteen first-class spy personnel, he squatted in the grass of this forest every day to monitor a house.
At first, he was full of interest, thinking that there was some dignitary living in Jindi in this house, so he specially transferred him. Through the observation during this time, the more he looked, the more confused he became.
The house is not big, and there are not many guards, but if you put it on the rivers and lakes, they are all first-class skills; Night duty, patrolling, control, etc., but it is the set of defense in the army. Then there are the people in the house, although it is said that the female relatives do not move around often, but they often have all kinds of food and drinks, and they don't need to go out to buy them at all. I don't know if it's good or bad, but those foods are all local specialties, and there is no shortage of treasures, many of which can't be bought with money.
Thinking of this, his brow furrowed, and he boredly pulled another dog's tail grass, took the grass stalk in his mouth and chewed it.
At this moment, Chen Sida saw a sturdy woman in her fifties walk out of the side door of the room, staggering towards the east.
He had followed the woman and knew that she would sneak out to the market every few days to get some drinks.
Li Sida glanced at it, and continued to chew his dog tail grass uninterested.
Just after a few bites, I felt the flow of air.
He got up quickly, and saw Li Ronghua's quick and brisk movements appear in his field of vision.
Li Ronghua is the small leader of another spy agency in Jindi, and before that, the two had met once when they returned to Yandi to report on their work, and this time, he was also transferred here.
Chen Sida spit out the dog's tail grass and greeted him.
Li Ronghua's expression was a little solemn: "Did you see the mother-in-law who bought wine!" ”
Chen Sida immediately understood.
He picked up the firewood on the side and said, "I'm leaving." ”
Li Ronghua nodded. "You be careful... I just got the news, and I want to check her carefully. ”
Chen Sida nodded solemnly, and slowly walked out of the woods with firewood and followed...
Gu Xiyan chewed the apple "click". He slurred, "Just the two of them?" ”
Ningzhou's specialty, each with a big fist, red fluttering to the ground. It's crisp and refreshing in the mouth... Duan Yingluo couldn't help but pick up an apple from the rattan basket on the small table in front of the bed and nibble on it, saying, "The news sent by the Yandi spy agency... Just the two of them... The news that it was sent to Madame Wei has been confirmed by the people of the Shura Sect; The other tracked down to Qingzhou, and it may take some time to find out..."
Gu Xiyan nodded, and ate the Pingguo in two clicks.
"Then don't wait... It's mid-October, the children are almost three months old, and we are going back to Yongzhou for the New Year..."
As usual, Cuiyu put two bowls of chicken soup in front of Gu Xiyan and Liu Mei'er. Liu Mei'er took a sip and said with a smile: "This taste is really fresh, what is in it this time?" ”
Gu Xiyan picked up the bowl and said with a smile: "I asked them to put plums, it's a little sour, it should be better than usual..."
Liu Mei'er hurriedly put the bowl down: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Xiyan frowned: "What kind of smell is this, why do I smell it and want to vomit!" ”
Liu Mei'er opened her eyes wide, and coughed and said, "Yes." Want to throw up... Are you mistaken..."
Gu Xiyan covered his chest: "I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable..."
Xingyu said earnestly on the side: "Madam, why don't you go and ask a doctor to take a look." Although the weather in the spring is good, you were still basking in the sun in the yard at noon yesterday... Maybe it's been blown by the wind..."
When Liu Mei'er heard this, she hurriedly said, "Yes." yes, let's go get a doctor. ”
Gu Xiyan was still a little hesitant, and Liu Mei'er had already called Siping in: "Go to the town and invite a doctor... Madame felt uncomfortable..."
Siping's face turned pale, and he responded urgently, and ran out at a trot.
Gu Xiyan frowned and looked at the bowl of soup: "I don't have any appetite at all... Jade, ask Ruby to make me some sweet and sour appetizers! As he spoke, he got up weakly, "I'm going to lie down..."
Jade departed.
Xingyu hurriedly helped Gu Xiyan to lie on the bed, and then squatted down to help her take off her shoes. With a concerned face, he said, "Madam." What's wrong with you? ”
Gu Xiyan whispered: "I haven't eaten yet, you go to the kitchen and quietly get me a bowl of chicken soup." ”
Xingyu was stunned. He couldn't help but smile: "Got it, madam! ”
Liu Mei'er who followed them in was so anxious that as soon as Xingyu left, she sat on the edge of the bed, took Gu Xiyan's hand and said, "What's going on?" ”
Gu Xiyan thought of his initiative that day.
Her face turned red and said, "During the Autumn Festival, the master came to see me..."
Liu Mei'er breathed a sigh of relief obviously, and said angrily: "I think something is wrong with you this time, but you don't dare to think about it... Look at you like this, the ** of the ten is there..."
Siping invited Dr. Tongchuntang to come, and diagnosed it as a happy pulse without any suspense.
Liu Meier recited "Amitayus Buddha" on the spot, and said excitedly: "This is a great joy... I'm going to tell my mother to go... No, I'd better tell my aunt first... She must have died of joy! Aunt Gao, I have to send someone to say it..."
Gu Xiyan hurriedly stopped her and instructed the people present: "This matter can't be known to outsiders." Ye came secretly that day, and everyone thought that he was in Shannan County at that time... You know that this is powerful, and if there are many words, I won't say it, if anyone leaks this news, I won't spare it! ”
Except for Jade's smile a little reluctant, the others all looked happy. Xingyu said: "Don't worry, we will definitely serve you well, and wait for the master to come back." You can see a big fat boy! ”
Siping, in particular, cried on the spot.
Liu Mei'er also seemed to be a different person, and instructed Hongyu in an unquestionable tone: "From today." You all have to listen to me... I couldn't eat all the vegetables and radishes, so I immediately went to the market to buy some chickens, ducks, and fish; And this window, which can't always be half-hidden and half-open, close it all and light the wall of fire..."
Hongyu glanced at Gu Xiyan in embarrassment.
When Liu Mei'er saw it, she immediately said: "I'm from here, you little girls, what do you know..."
Gu Xiyan couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
My serious mother-in-law didn't say anything in Yongzhou. Here a steward has been poured out. said that despite this, Gu Xiyan was still very grateful to Liu Mei'er for her happiness.
She hurriedly diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Sister, your needlework is good, make me two small clothes!" Liu Mei'er was immersed in excitement, and did not answer at all, and said: "The matter of the little clothes, you can rest assured that you will be with me... Xingyu, in the future, you can't let Mrs. do things like dressing and eating, you will serve you personally. Be careful that the tire gas is activated..."
Everyone looked at Gu Xiyan with a look at each other, but Gu Xiyan showed a helpless smile.
The room was brightly lit, Xingyu took out an apricot-yellow shirt with a small group of flowers in the wardrobe and handed it to Gu Xiyan: "Madam, what do you think of this... I wore it a few times, but the color was still bright..."
Gu Xiyan rubbed it on his face for a while. Said: "This one is very good, stay it!" ”
Xingyu answered, and then found a light purple cotton pattern eight skirts: "This is lake silk, light and soft, what do you think?" ”
Gu Xiyan rubbed it on his face for a while, and said, "It's a bit awkward!" ”
"What is this doing?" Duan Yingluo walked in, looking at the clothes that were thrown away on the Hu bed, his face full of doubts.
Xingyu hurriedly bent her knees and saluted Duan Yingluo and said, "Sister Duan." Madame wants to find some old clothes for the young master to make a single coat..."
Duan Yingluo was stunned when she heard this: "What young master?" Which young master? Why do you want to use your wife's old clothes to make a single gown? ”
Gu Xiyan glanced at Xingyu with a smile. "Don't talk nonsense... This hasn't been shown yet, maybe it's a man or a woman! Beware of scaring the kids! ”
Duan Yingluo only then understood. It is to make clothes for the child in Gu Xiyan's belly. She couldn't help but pick up the apricot yellow Sixi Xiaotuan flower shirt: "Why do you want to change it with old clothes... Just buy a new one and come back..."
Gu Xiyan asked Xingyu to collect her clothes and pour tea for Duan Yingluo.
"The child's skin is tender, and he is afraid that his new clothes will be worn. I changed my old clothes..."
Duan Yingluo didn't understand this, so she changed the topic with an "oh": "Both sides have handed out the news!" ”
Gu Xiyan sat up straight and shouted loudly: "Xingyu, you go to the kitchen and ask Hongyu to make two bowls of white fungus lotus seed soup, I'm a little hungry!" ”
When Xingyu heard this, she hurriedly came in and answered, and then went out.
When Xingyu's footsteps were far away, Gu Xiyan's face carried a few coldness: "What are you writing?" ”
"It was written to Mrs. Wei that you are pregnant; The other is written about Qi Hao's Autumn Festival in the spring. As he spoke, he took out two pieces of paper from his bosom and spread them out on the table.
Gu Xiyan glanced at it, took out one of the slips and returned it to Duan Yingluo: "This news revealing Maosheng's whereabouts is official business, and it will be handed over to Sanping to deal with, so do whatever you want!" ”
Duan Yingluo nodded, and then pointed to another note on the small table: "What about this one?" ”
Gu Xiyan was silent for a long time, and said, "As for this one written to Mrs. Wei, it is a family matter, and I will deal with it!" ”
Duan Yingluo hesitated a little: "It's better for you to be cautious." Anyway, Madame Wei is now in the same boat as you after all. Moreover, our Shuramen has been supported by Mrs. Wei all these years, and everyone has given Mrs. Wei face, if you tear your face, I am not sure that you can continue to command those people. ”
"Sister, don't worry." Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, my sister will blame me for being ruthless!" ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Duan Yingluo with a smile: "By the way, what happened to Mama Zhao's two children?" ”
