There's another chapter ahead, don't forget to read it.
-------- the following text-------
Fuze Nian Mansion
No one has taken the five nǎinǎi to open the knife yet, and the five nǎinǎi himself fell ill first.
When the news of his father's martyrdom came back, he had a miscarriage in a hurry.
She is also strong, Xiao Yuezi was stunned, and went home to treat her father's funeral with her mother, and no one could persuade her. But no matter how strong the body is, he can't stand such a toss, and finally he is sick in bed because of blood.
Although the old lady still doesn't like her, she can't help but sigh about this "filial piety", looking at the children and grandchildren of the Manchu family, I don't know which one can treat her like this after a hundred years.
At this time, the third lady stupidly thought that the time had come, and actually said, "My sister is dead, and she is sick and refuses to take care of it, this time my father is dead, and I don't pretend to be sick or not!" ---- still refuses to do it before
The old lady was annoyed, a teacup fell to the ground, slapped the table and scolded the third lady for being bloody. The other four ladies of the Nian family were all present, and they all looked at them coldly, and the third lady felt that she had no face, so she also said that she was sick and couldn't leave the yard.
The matter of the head of the three-room room was originally five nǎinǎi cooking, five nǎinǎi went home to mourn, and the three ladies took care of a few rì, and now they are pretending to be sick, and no one has taken over the housekeeping of the three rooms, but fortunately, there are no two rì, and the uncle who served as the captain of Zhaowu in the Liaozhou military camp was transferred to the northwest with the army, and the eldest nǎinǎi returned to Beijing with the child, and it is justified to take over the internal affairs of the three rooms.
And the Nian family's foreign affairs shop, originally five nǎinǎi also topped half the sky, but now the reality is there, and there is the unremitting efforts of the eighth master to lobby. In the end, it was handed over to the fifth master and the eighth master to take care of it together. The seventh master also tried his best, but he didn't grab the head, but pressed a big mountain on his body, how could he be "depressed". Hearing that the ninth master was going to the state at the end of the year, he started the idea of this younger brother again. Thinking of going to the state to open up his own business, the province is always under the control of others. The Ninth Master let him talk about it, but he never agreed.
The pain of losing his father and son has not yet eased, and the five nǎinǎi who came to the strength are facing complete layoffs again. It is reasonable to hand over the housekeeping of the third room to Da nǎinǎi, and she doesn't want to take care of it, seeing that the sixth lady is out of the cabinet, there are a bunch of tattered things, and it is too late to shake her hands. But that shop!! It was her own painstaking management and a little bit of development, but it was taken up by an old eight, how willing was her hot xìngzi. Even in the middle of the illness, there were two troubles. It's a pity, there was no result in the end, but the old lady's little pity for her filial piety was gone, and she didn't have a good face after that.
The court was compensated, and the emperor specially gave the martial arts. As soon as Mrs. Wu survived, she was dressed in plain clothes for the rest of her life, so she only took gold and silver, and sent all the cloth to her daughter.
Da nǎinǎi newcomer, not standing firm, naturally has to always uphold the principle that no one can offend everyone to please. Seeing the cloth sent by the samurai, she thought that this was a good time to express the relationship between the five nǎinǎi and the good woman. So Tete stacked the horses of silk and satin into stacks, carried them to the room of the five nǎinǎi to show her, and continued to praise the emperor's grace.
Uncheng Xiang Wu nǎinǎi apricot eyes widened, and he struggled to get off the ground violently. One overturned the stack and pressed a large nǎinǎi under the brocade pile, and she threw herself on it, raising her fist and slamming it.
It's a shame that the fifth master didn't go to the shop, so he was in the study, and when he heard the maid's report, he hurriedly ran back to the room, picked up his daughter-in-law, and asked someone to rescue the big nǎinǎi quickly. 好在五nǎinǎi 身子虚. The fist also lost its former strength, and the big nǎinǎi was only suffocated by the cloth for a few yù, which was no big deal, but it was terrifying enough.
Five nǎinǎi long nails split two, and half of the palms were red with blood, but they didn't realize it. The fifth master took a wet handkerchief and wiped her hands. His eyes stared straight at the scattered Ayara on the ground. The fifth master let out a long sigh and asked her what was wrong.
Suddenly, she was sad. Wail.
The daughter-in-law has always been strong, and the fifth master has almost never seen her cry, only a while ago when her father-in-law was martyred, she cried a few times. He ignored the fact that the maid was still cleaning up the stall in the room, and hurriedly took his daughter-in-law in his arms and whispered softly to comfort her, for fear that she would also go crazy like Qinǎinǎi.
However, he heard her say something incredibly logical.
Are these buying my father's life? Human life is cheap. For a long time, bad news followed, first the emperor did not put the matter of Jinzhou aside, with the arrival of Jinzhou dignitaries in Beijing, Jinzhou City Bo Si raised Mei Yi's smuggling case to start trial, and soon the first batch of victims were freshly baked, there were demotion officials, exile and execution. Then he pulled out some side cases, such as embezzlement and bribery, embezzlement of public funds, and the second batch of victims also went to the execution ground. In the end, the emperor decided to send an investigation team to Jinzhou for a comprehensive investigation.
The air in Jinzhou became tense again, and those who were not clean in their hands were afraid that they would become the third batch. So we have to do everything possible to patch the loopholes, and then hit the dots up and down.
The New Year also ushered in such a person. Wen Tingjian didn't come again after being prevaricated by him twice, and he didn't want to come to borrow money again this time, this time he said to borrow, but his opening was more exaggerated than before, 250,000 taels.
Nian Liang smiled. Not to mention that he can't take out so much silver at this time, even if he can, why should he borrow it?
At that time, he didn't know that he was the last straw that overwhelmed Wen Tingjian at that time.
Later, he thought back a few times, if he knew what to do at that time, I am afraid that he would not know how to choose.
Just when the Great Qin Emperor sent a large army to exterminate the northwest domain, just when the eyes of the officials in the southeast frontier were all on Gyeonggi, and they were worried that their own black yarn and even xìng's life was not guaranteed, the Southern Xia Kingdom suddenly sent troops and besieged Jinzhou City in one fell swoop.
On the day of the siege, Nian Liang was still happily writing a plan, chattering and discussing with his Manniang.
He said, "Confinement in May and June is not good, it is too hot, and you will suffer." Jinzhou doesn't need to be mentioned, Meizhou is also hot, hey, if we go to the state, my aunt can take care of you; A letter from the ninth brother, it is also a state to let go of foreign appointments, don't you get along with the ninth brother and sister? It's in one place again. ”
Xia Xiaoman was lying on his back on the bed, just drinking tonic soup, and he was still a little sick to his stomach when he was lying down. She didn't pay attention to what he said, just looked at the delicate patterns on the top of the tent. In the depression of the calculation of how to deal with the child in the womb.
The world never worked out as she imagined. Knowing that Qinghuaidi's child was not his, she thought that both of them were infertile.
Can she run with the baby? Will she be able to leave the child and run on her own? Can she stay with her children and wait for her female boss to show up and suffer together? Can she expect a "female boss is a good person" with a probability that is too small to be reliable?
"Can you marry Miss Cousin?" She asked in a low voice.
"What?" He was writing letters, fantasizing about their state rì in his head, and he didn't hear what she was saying, and said to himself: "If you want to go, you have to leave in November." It also saves you from being cheap, and I'm afraid that it will snow in the north late, so it's not easy to walk. I'm afraid it will take a year or two to stay here, and I can't move around until my son is older and stronger, so as not to have an accident on the road. I won't go back to Beijing for a while, just wait for my cousin to take the exam in three years, and let's go to Beijing together. Asked the grandparents to see our son, and then went back to Meizhou in Beijing, and now that I want to come, it is better to look at Haizhuang. ”
"Can you marry Miss Cousin?" She repeated, her voice quieter than she had just been. She suddenly smiled. I think this question is ridiculous.
Even if he can marry Ji Lingshu, can she get rid of that big family? Can she teach Xiao Tang Seng how to deal with that big family? Can she guarantee that the mature little Tang Seng doesn't use the tricks she taught to deal with her?
"Didn't my cousin write to you and tell you that you had made the paper cup where you put the eggs in the morning? If you like it, go over there and set up a Linlang Pavilion State branch with her. He put down his pen and sat down on the edge of the bed, his hand touching her still flat lower abdomen. said: "Ming'er began to have a good life to check the book and give his son a good name." My grandfather will take my grandfather's, and I will take one with my son, and I will be able to write in the future. ”
Seeing that there was still a smile on her face, he smiled too. Softly said, "What are you laughing at?" Laugh at me in a hurry, the name got up early? "This is his first child. How could he not have looked forward to the arrival of the child? She made the stroller because she wanted a child, and he also wanted to give her a child, and now, the stroller can finally be used by their son. How is he not rejoicing?
She looked at him for a long time and slowly closed her eyes.
Like this man? Don't like it? You can roll the sheets without feelings, but can you raise children together without feelings?
Do you like it? Don't like it? Can we live together if we have feelings?
Her reason completely devoured the senses, and even began to judge. She didn't have a lot of time to think about the answers, and she had to make a choice before the child had a heartbeat and fetal movements. --- because before that she could act as if it didn't exist, and after that, she wasn't sure what kind of state of mind she was. She has read too many articles, and they all write that a woman's heart is always soft after perceiving the existence of a small life. And fetal movement will leave a deep memory on a mother, after strangulation. That memory becomes a ghost. From time to time, it pops up to disturb the mother's heart.
She felt like a sane madman.
I really didn't have a lot of time to think about it, because on that night. The Southern Xia army besieged the city of Jinzhou.
Siege. Can't go anywhere. He can't go to the state, and she can't run away.
Xia Xiaoman was born in a peaceful era, and the war was all international news on TV, what plane bombing, what bloody conflict, it was just the words in the mouth of the announcer, and it was always very far away from her life, so unreal, as if the TV would not exist when the TV was turned off.
She has always felt that although the war in the era of cold weapons has no sound of running and no air raids, it should be a shout of slaughter, which can be heard no matter how far away, or like in "Hero", the incomparably powerful arrow rain. Unexpectedly, the sense of existence of this war was so weak that Jinzhou City was large, and he couldn't even hear the shouting and killing in the center of the inner city, and Rìzi was as quiet as ever, as if nothing had happened. But this silent fear is more terrible than anything else,---- because you know that war is coming, but you don't know what is being born or what is about to be born. It's a blank slate. It's simply a kind of jīng god devastation.
The vast majority of people in Jinzhou City have never experienced war, although Jinzhou is next to the Southern Xia Kingdom, but in the past three dynasties for decades, there has been nothing wrong, and the border problem has never existed, so when I heard that the Southern Xia sent troops, most people's reaction was "This is a joke". Until it was confirmed, there were still people who couldn't believe how friendly countries could suddenly become enemies. All the way
Therefore, the immature mentality towards war also fuels panic.
The vast majority of people choose to stay at home, but they don't give people much sense of security at home, and they must beware of officers and soldiers who do not necessarily break into the door suddenly---- whether they are on their own side or on the other side. It's not a good thing, the other party is certainly because the city is broken, and the other party may represent the strong man who came to catch the strong man. The probability of death is half and half, and the result is the same bad.
Material destruction is just as fatal, and after all, food is needed to survive.
The street food sellers are almost extinct. Those who have family backgrounds and conditions have begun to stock grain. The people of Jinzhou don't know that the war will be over for a while, but when they hear the word "siege", the first thing that comes to mind is the lack of grain and grass.
"I knew it would be in Meizhou." Nian Liang couldn't help but sigh in the end. When I woke up, the army was pressing, and the food at home could last for a month, but because of the hot weather, the vegetables could only last for three or five days, but fortunately, there were still some fish and meat in the ice cellar, but because it was summer and autumn. The products are very abundant, and most of them are bought freshly made, and there are not many places to prepare. After that, you have to think of a lot of money to buy food. "Meizhou has a cliff villa."
If you don't live in Meizhou, who is to blame? It's not that you want to recapture the Jinzhou shop. Xia Xiaoman pushed open the ledger that counted the grain count several times and was still pitiful, and said: "Even in Meizhou, it is useless, Yashan Villa is in the countryside." To besiege the city, Yashan Villa is also surrounded outside the city. "Where is there such a good thing, the siege just encircled you in a grain farm!
Well, blame her, even if it is a sudden incident, it also tests that she does not have enough sense of crisis. I didn't know how to store food, and I was really ashamed of the crossing materials I had read.
He didn't reflect on himself, but said: "Yashan Villa can finally have chickens to make up for you." ”
She suddenly felt that this conversation was very similar to the kind of warm husband and wife of a poor family, where a piece of bread is divided into two halves. A bowl of porridge pushes against each other. However, if he said chicken legs, then the effect might be better, Xu moved her, but unfortunately he said that it was eggs, she would only think in disgust, MD, who loves eggs! I had to eat it.
The siege lasted for five days, and the Southern Xia army did not attack the city. Sleepy, like a snake wrapped around its prey, waiting for the prey to suffocate itself.
"Drag a city of people to death? Waiting to run out of ammunition and food to raise the flag and surrender? At night, Xia Xiaoman walked around the yard and basked in the moon as usual, which used to be for the quick recovery of his leg, but now it has become a preparation for her smooth delivery--- although she has not yet decided whether she wants this child. (At least not now.) The city was besieged and there was a shortage of medicines. Wouldn't it be suicide if you can't get it back? Although she remembered that it seemed that it was necessary to do this exercise until her belly was quite large, but anyway, she had nothing to do, and maybe it would be able to relieve the tension caused by the siege. But in the end, three and a half sentences still do not leave the siege.
"Or use Jinzhou as bait and prepare to catch big fish." Nian Liang looked at the sky in the north and said, "Kezhou, Huzhou, Kunzhou, any state should be here to transfer troops, but I am not afraid that I will see through this point and stand still." He paused and said with a little frustration: "Maybe it's waiting for the will of the imperial court." ”
Bureaucracy kills people. Xia Xiaoman looked up to the sky and sighed.
The tighter he held her hand, if it was waiting for the time to fight, there was still a glimmer of hope, but if he waited for the imperial court's will for a long time, Jinzhou might really be dragged to death.
"Let's live in Meizhou in the future." He wanted something lighthearted and hopeful.
"Because there are chickens in Meizhou Yashan Villa?!" She scoffed, "I really don't like to eat it." ----Well, maybe I'm still not hungry. When you're hungry, you eat everything. If there are chickens, they will burn high incense. ”
The conversation turned back. Does not having taboos mean having hope? Now there must be hope, otherwise why is there no sense of hopelessness and desolation, but as if nothing has been born. The siege will not be euthanasia, there will be no pain at all, perhaps like hunger itself, which is a dull ache at first, gradually sharpened, and finally unbearable, and extremely painful before death. And now it is only in the initial stage of hunger. Dull aches.
"It's not chickens." He smiled, but still tried to turn it around to the good, such as ......, "I said early in the morning, live in Wanghaizhuang." Don't you like the sea? ”
"I love crabs." She regretted it again. It could have been a joke, but in the shadow of Hunger Yīn, it was a deep sea joke.
"I like the sunset, too." She added. In the end, it was reversed.
"yes, I know." He rubbed her fingers.
When they watched the sunset together on the beach, her expression was always soft, and she was never too soft when she was happy. She used to have few expressions, wooden, and astringent smiles; Forget about the past. Her expression is actually a lot richer, but most of the time, she will try her best to maintain that kind of woodenness, but unfortunately the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are still sharp. He couldn't tell if he liked her softness, but he actually liked her most because she smiled widely. Showing two rows of snow-white teeth, it is festive and happy to look at it; But this soft expression made him very down-to-earth, and he couldn't say how down-to-earth.
"When you watch the sunset, it's very steady?" He asked her. He thought that it was her steadfastness that made him look steady.
She nodded. Don't you think the sunset looks quiet and peaceful? ”
“…… I look at you and feel steady. He told the truth.
She was silent for a moment and whispered, "Most of the time, I look at you quite down-to-earth. "If you don't think about the future.
She got used to being alone, used to dú lì, used to loving herself. She was always thinking about the future, and the unknown future scared her. So whoever she is with, she always carries a distance, and forces herself not to rely on anyone, a complete self-protection mechanism. Now the anomaly fled immediately, always believing that "it is better to believe in yourself than to believe in anyone".
Although he forced himself not to rely on her, he did not protect her once or twice, he did not comfort her once or twice. But when I know that he can be relied on, I am still very down-to-earth.
"In the future, I will live in Wanghaizhuang and watch the sunset every day." He said, "Look old." ”
She remembered that Bai Cangcang was watching the sunset together, her heart moved, she smiled, and said, "Okay." Ever seen old. ”
Is it really okay not to think about the future?
His heart didn't heat for long, and soon he thought of his wife discordantly. ...... three people watching the sunset together? This weird composition. She couldn't laugh anymore.
"How?" He saw that her mood suddenly turned low. I can't help but ask.
She shook her head, but he asked again. She rolled her eyes and looked at him for a long time, and said, "I'm thinking, it's too strange for the servants to look at the sea." Of course, it also depends on whether the six nǎinǎi like the sea or not. ”
When he heard the first half of the sentence, he thought she was saying that they would take their son again. I also want to say how it can be a servant. There will be a lot of people, there will be a lot of sons. And daughters. After listening to the second half of the sentence, I realized that she was his wife. He was also silent. The servants look at the sea...... His mind turned, and the picture ...... Like, indeed, strange......
The two men were silent. The night is as cool as water.
Suddenly, the north of the city was filled with flames, and the sky was dyed red. The already nervous residents of the house began to move, and the nearby house began to be noisy, the dogs barked incessantly, and their servants began to panic.
The two looked at each other in amazement, paused, and said in unison: "Breaking the city? ”
"In that direction, it's like a granary." He said.
"Let's go." For a moment she wanted to run away again, every time she encountered a crisis, she would want to run, she grabbed his hand, ran a few steps, and suddenly stopped. Turning his head to look at him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Where are you going?" The sky is falling, where are we going? ”
"Manniang, don't be afraid." He tugged her into his arms and patted her on the back. "Don't be afraid. It's the breaking of the city...... Wouldn't be anything......" he reassured her, saying things he didn't quite believe himself.
She didn't believe it even more, she had seen too much about the burning and looting of the invaders, but in fact, it was very rare for Qiu not to commit any crimes after the city was broken. I hid it early in the morning, but now it seems that it is really useless, forcing you with a knife and asking you to say where the treasure at home is, can you rather die than say? That's a real amount of money.
The firelight seemed to splash red in the sky, and she felt that the scene was particularly fake. I don't know if it's self-psychological relief, escapism or what, she always feels that some pictures are particularly fake. It was as if you could reach out and pierce it, and then a new world would bloom behind the curtain.
Fear?
She suddenly felt less afraid. She's just agitated.
Probably the dull pain of hunger that had been dragged on for too long.
She wanted it to be punctured and finished, no matter what the outcome was.
"Manniang, don't be afraid." He stroked her back.
"I'm not afraid." She took a deep breath, what was different from facing the blade, she was ......
He still hugged her tightly, caressed her, again and again, and said in a deep voice, "Manniang, we are in one place." We're all in one place. Don't be afraid. ”
You never know what tomorrow will bring. Disasters never have a warning, they all come in an instant, maybe take away a little, maybe take away everything. What can you catch?
There is no backwards. How short is a life? How long is a lifetime?
Anyway, we're in one place.
Life and death. It will not be negative.
She felt that the night dew was really heavy, and her eyelashes were wet. Her hand that stretched out to poke the curtain paper circled back, hugged him tightly, buried her head and rubbed it, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay." ”
There are lights in the house. The two of them were dressed neatly, snuggled together, and waited for the result.
He touched her arm and said, "Unload." Monkeys. ”
There are beads. She bit at his neck and said, "No." It's hard to get it on. ”
"What can be done?" He lowered his head slightly, his lips brushing her forehead, "Can you kill one, can you kill ten?" Hundreds? Thousands? ”
"I'll have to use it once before I'm willing." She muttered. In fact, it may be more troublesome to kill the enemy. For example, do you need to pay for medical expenses afterwards......
Go, Tmd, don't think about it. She shook her head vigorously and didn't look back. Her arms tightened, too.
Even the beads are still used in the end.
The two men in black, who don't know how to get in, were silent, and the maids outside were not alarmed, but after they came in, they didn't know how to ignore the indecency, and they coughed specially, as if reminding them that there were only bystanders present in one place.
This outfit broke into a private house at night. It won't be a charity that helps the poor. Xia Xiaoman's condition was reversed, his arms were raised, and the small arrows of the beads shè went out.
And then regretted it, this half-. must have been dodged, and then the other party didn't want to kill the killer......
Of course, he will be dodged, and he will not be able to turn his head at all, and he will be out of 108,000 miles. The two men in black dodged for a moment, and then realized that they didn't need it at all, so they turned their heads back in unison and squinted their eyes to see the six small arrows nailed to the high table.
One of the men lamented, "It's a pity for this good house." ”
The other laughed and said, "Second child." Mo chanted. Didn't I lose you a good land? He turned around, hugged his wrist to Nian Liang, and said, "Is the sixth master good?" ”
Under the light, the person who came was thirty or forty years old, with a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a square appearance. There is no bandit sè. I just don't know if this face is a deity, or if it's one of the masks.
Nian Yu was stunned for a while. Then he lowered his face and said, "Feng Youshi, who are you?" He paused, and then said sharply: "Southern Xia Land? Did you put the fire on the granary? ”
Feng Youshi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not the Southern Xia Land, I have always been the emperor and shouting long live." But I've been doing something with Nanxia lately. The fire in the granary of Jinzhou has nothing to do with me. ”
He pulled around, looked at a chair, and pointed to the chair while looking at Nian Liang. Nian Liang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Feng Youshi sat down and said, "Wen Tingjian set the fire." ”
Nian Liang and Xia Xiaoman sat upright, and when they heard this, they looked at each other with a stunned face, this is going to end together? Even if you get the city, don't you want a grain of food? Wen Tingjian, that greedy guy for money, has such integrity?
Feng Youshi said: "There are more than twenty stones of grain in the granary, or last year's old rice ,--- grain was shipped out by him early in the morning and sold short." This year is a drought, and there is also a shortage of grain in southern summer, and there are a lot of grain warehouses in Yamen that are resold in various parts of the border, not to mention that there was still a lot of old rice last year, and there is a surplus. Wen Tingjian is not the first one, but before he has to fill it in, Mei Yi's one came out. Now that Qin sent down to check, I'm afraid he was dreaming about how to fill it up. ”
Nian Liang and Xia Xiaoman glanced at each other and shook their heads. Wen Tingjian came to borrow money to buy food? Unclogging joints? Still is...... Running away?
"Now that he is on fire, he has a way out." Feng Youshi smiled sarcastically and said: "The Jiān people's granary was set on fire, the food was gone, and the people of the whole city starved to death. ”
"Jokes." Nian forged and said, "How can the general judgment allow him to be a prefect?" ”
Feng Youshi said with a smile: "The general sentence Pan Liangshan was originally with Wen Tingjian. Sixth master, let's see tomorrow in the morning. ”
Nian Liang grabbed Xia Xiaoman's hand tighter, and said coldly: "Then Mr. Feng is here?" ---- Yashan Villa's September grain should be shipped away, right? ”
Feng Youshi said with a smile: "It was shipped directly to Jinzhou, the sixth master can rest assured, he said that it was done cleanly, and it will not affect the sixth master, and no one knows that it is from Yashan Villa." I'm here to send the last sum of silver to the sixth master, and I also came to tell the sixth master about the current situation. Of course, I also wanted to help one or two, lest the Ming Xia army enter the city and collide with the sixth master without opening his eyes. ”
The sixteenth year of the Southern Summer (that is, the twentieth year of the Northern Qin Yongning) was June 16
For most of the year, Northern Qin lost in the northwest and southeast one after another. The southwest was stupid and stupid, tired of using troops, because the northwest was occupied by no more than a few cities, while the southeast was occupied by three major states, so the court decided to ignore the southeast for now. After quickly recovering the northwest, concentrate forces to the south, so as not to suffer the enemy from a war on two fronts.
After Southern Xia ate Jinzhou, Kunzhou and Huzhou, it did not expand rapidly, but only pushed the battle line to the Moxiu River in the north of Kunzhou and confronted Northern Qin across the river. In the rear positions such as Jinzhou and Huzhou, stable operations have begun, and they must be thoroughly digested and become their own prefecture capitals.
There were also intermittent uprisings in Kunzhou and Huzhou, in Jinzhou. The atmosphere of the old ministers of Great Qin was quite light. In the end, because Jinzhou was originally next to the Southern Xia Kingdom, and the Southern Xia was not a Fanbang, and the Jinzhou people belonged to the same family, but the region was different, and the sense of foreign nationality was weak, for the Jinzhou people, the Nanxia people were more familiar with the Nanxia people than the Fuze people, and they had a more intimate feeling, just like many people did not believe that friends became enemies at the beginning, and now many people feel that there is nothing wrong with Jinzhou integrating into the Southern Xia. In particular, it first encountered "officialdom turmoil" and "border trade economic crisis". people's hearts are detached; Later, if the city is besieged, there is a tragic war, there is a death and there is a bereavement and hatred, then the people's sense of resistance will be very strong; The siege of the city is the most capable of breaking the will of the people. After experiencing hunger, having food becomes very beautiful, and under the guidance of the mentality of "having food is better than nothing, and having food is good", people only want to be comfortable and clothed.
With the passage of time, the people of Jinzhou regarded themselves as the children of Southern Xia and returned to their normal lives. The only difference from before the war was that due to the war ahead, the letterhead could not be understood. The connection with the north was cut off, and the northernmost goods were to Kunzhou. However, there is still a very good market for southern goods, and there are no tariffs, and the price is much cheaper, so some wholesalers have transformed into retailers, and the places that have not been transformed have probably become receiving goods from Kunzhou and Huzhou to the south.
You have to go on. The rìzi of the Nianfu is also going on.
After the fall of Jinzhou. The Nian family in the city forgives a master every year, and it turns out that the five old masters are slaves in the house and Nian Shoutang Ning Ao. All respect the Lord and listen to him. There was a housekeeper in the fifth master's mansion who was not obedient at first, and he thought about looking for a ballast job, but he was beaten and beaten, and he was beaten and beaten, and after he learned the ruthlessness and strength of the sixth master, he also stopped.
The mansion of the fifth lord is the official residence, that is, the inner house in front of the yamen and the back, after the Southern Xia occupied Jinzhou, the officials naturally moved into the corresponding yamen, and the official residences were also to be vacated with the officials of the Southern Xia. The fifth master's family property did not move at all, and rented a warehouse in the city, and let Ning Ao, Wan Yi, Gong Qi, and Wei Kai jointly supervise it, and all the things were moved.
Cut off contact with the family, the mentality of the year is complicated, when he is ready to resist marriage, he is ready to be given up by the family, so in fact he does not have a very strong homesickness, and the last family book is the chaotic situation in the family, he is still very glad not to be mixed in, not without some schadenfreude sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, now far away from these people, it is not a bad thing.
But as the eldest sister Nian Nuo said, there is always someone to see. He still felt that he had failed to fulfill his filial piety in front of his grandfather, but let his grandfather miss him, which was really a sin.
Especially, on this day, when he sat in the study and wrote the name he had thought of for the child over and over again, he always thought that it was his grandfather who started it, and the more he remembered the years when his grandfather taught him to read when he was a child. He once thought about looking for Feng Youshi to help deliver the news, but where could he find it, Feng Youshi didn't leave any contact information at all. Feng Youshi was indeed not from Southern Xia, and he asked Feng Youshi to introduce him to the Southern Xia officials he knew to inquire about Feng's news, but he found nothing.
It was not only Fuze who broke the letter, but Meizhou and the state could not be contacted, and sometimes he even thought that it would be good if Meizhou also fell, and he could at least be with his eldest sister. Now, he is left alone, without a mother, without a father, without brothers and sisters.
That's not right, he's not alone, he still has a full mother. He only has Manniang left.
No, it's not right. He corrected his mistakes in a timely manner. He also has children with Manniang.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he continued to write his name on the paper repeatedly.
That little life has quietly grown up, and it is about to ripen.
As the morning sun filtered through the window, he got up again to ask for news. The second watch Tianmanniang began to see red labor pains, and she was so disappointed that she found it early in the morning and arranged to live in the house, so she was afraid of being caught blind temporarily. The house soon became busy, and he was taken to the study. He began to write the child's name, trying to calm down, but he couldn't, and from time to time he stared at the missing moment, and asked once in a quarter of an hour.
Ning Ao's wife also rushed over to help, and couldn't stop smiling and persuading him, the sixth master should not worry, a woman is in a hurry to give birth to a child. Not to mention one hour, there are also three hours and three days. Listen, we're ready to go. He smiled reluctantly, answered, and still couldn't help but run outside the delivery room to take a look.
Four hours have passed, and the child has not yet come out. Somehow, he suddenly felt a little afraid, dragged Granny Ning, and said in a low voice, if there is a case, save Manniang.
Granny Ning was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed with a crystal light, and she said with a smile, the sixth master is too worried, it's really fine.
I hope it's all right. He returned to the study and continued to write the child's name, but suddenly stopped writing, he thought, he should copy the Buddhist scriptures.
He threw down the pen and stood up to flip through the bookshelf, he was not devout to believe in the Buddha, the Buddhist scriptures were stuffed in the corner, and for a while he couldn't remember which sutra was to bless the birth of the son smoothly, turned it twice, and was restless, hey, whatever it is, keep safe, keep safe.
He just turned around with the Buddhist scriptures, faintly heard the baby's cry, he was stunned on the spot, thinking that he was hallucinating, and stayed up all night, all the time nervous, Xu Yes...... He shook his head slightly, and before he could turn his head to listen carefully, there was laughter outside, and someone shouted to report the good news to the sixth master......
He didn't say a word, and he didn't care about respecting the gods and Buddhas, so he threw the noble Buddhist scriptures to the ground and strode out......
The rì is always fast, and in an instant the sun has jumped into the air, and the sunlight has moved from the study window to the bookcase, sweeping the name that has been written repeatedly on the rice paper.
Nian Xi.
Xi, bright, prosperous, harmonious, auspicious.

-------- doesn't count the word count divider - it's finally over. Laugh three times. It's not easy for me. >
This is the best ending I can think of, although I love "Sauvignon Blanc", but it is not easy to make two lovesicknesses...... Scratch your head......
So, here it is. Laugh. I tried my best to make it logical, but as for whether I could achieve it, I sweated, and my pen power was limited, so I had to do that. Friends, thank you for your support. Thank you to all the friends who read the ten kinds of brocade, laugh, no matter where you see it, thank you for the recognition. Thank you very much.
Sixteen goodbyes.
