Pearl their marching speed is not slow, it didn't take long, the army that came to pick them up arrived, Pearl directly saw his second brother-in-law Liu Da, now Liu Da is already from the third grade, but the bandits who intercepted and killed them are really weird, some rebels, Pearl really doesn't know, in the last life, only know the ups and downs of some officials. The real political struggle, but I didn't deliberately investigate, and when I came to that time, I was not in good health and my heart was haggard, so where would I care about this. In addition, she was entangled by the emperor later, of course, she was better protected, only those who heard good news, how could bad news reach her ears.

However, this time, Pearl felt that although King Lijun was under house arrest and his family property was confiscated, it seemed that he did not have such a deep scheming. King Lijun also saw it back then. Although King Duanjun is also more fond of money, he will not have such ambitions, and it seems that he can only be a few uncles of the emperor. But King Lijun did something wrong, and that was for sure.

"Sister, how are you?" Liu Da came to the front of the pearl, knelt down on one knee, and asked directly, it stands to reason that there is no need to make such a big gift, but Jade can be said to have been raised by the eldest aunt, and even the rich dowry brought over was given by the eldest sister. The thousand-mile horse he was riding was also given by the eldest sister, and he was still wearing a soft-armored vest and a pistol, which was given secretly, and he put it on his waist, and the sword in his hand was a rare Longquan sword with broken hair, I don't know how many people were envious. Coupled with his own promotion, the support behind his wife is very important, and discussing the war with his wife often has unexpected gains. The eldest sister is his wife's master, and her ability is naturally much higher than that of his wife. Liu Da: This is sincerely convinced.

"Get up! Qin Min has arrived, right? ”

"Yes, the eldest lady is now on Zhuangzi, there are many people there, and there is a well-arranged gossip array, ordinary people can't get close, not to mention. There are also the most firearms. Madame doesn't need to worry, the lord asked you to go directly to Zhuozhou Zhuangzi. Now the war has begun. Liu Da picked up the important and said,

Pearl was very surprised, "War?" So fast? But there's something wrong. Didn't we notice it beforehand? ”

"Yes. There is also preparation. Fortunately, there was a transmitter, and the emperor already knew about it, and now the firearms factory is starting to process it day and night. The imperial court also sent people to Nanyang to buy ores and other materials. ”

"I see. What about the second young master and the eldest young master's family? Are my three youngest sons okay now? ”

"They have all arrived at Zhuangzi, and it will take three or five days to travel from the border to Zhuozhou. Besides, the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou only knows that it belongs to the Liu family, and they are engaged in the jade business, and people outside don't know much, so the eldest sister and the children will be safer. Liu Da replied,

Now Pearl is a little suspicious, could this robber be Yidi's secret agent in the country? Or is it collusion between inside and outside? Let's talk about this later, when it comes to Zhuangzi, she will always know as soon as the news from all over the world is summarized.

Pearl hurriedly went back, and in the evening, she arrived in Zhuangzi, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Qin Deying and his wife, Qin Dezhang and Qin Min, all bringing people around them to greet her at the door! Seeing Pearl's somewhat disheveled hair and pale complexion. Qin Deying's three pandas are uncomfortable, that is because of guilt, because she knows that this time her stepmother not only saved Qin Min, but also saved the prince and the second prince, but she also fell into trouble, I am afraid that she will not be able to get pregnant again in the future, and her vitality is greatly damaged, and she needs to be raised well!

Kong hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Is mother okay?" Let's drink some rice soup and freshen up! ”

"Well, you guys arranged it very well, what about my baby third child?" Of course Pearl wants to see her son,

Kong replied respectfully, "I'm playing in the house at this time, you can see it when you have freshened up." According to the daughter-in-law's wishes, do you wait for them to sleep before you go to see it, otherwise, the children will miss you and are afraid that they will stick to you to make trouble. Besides, my mother has worked hard all the way, but after she has finished cultivating, let's go see my younger brothers again! You can rest assured, the three younger brothers are very good, know a lot of words, and are very obedient, but sometimes they have to run to your house to have a look, knowing that you haven't come back yet, and they are not noisy. ”

Pearl listened and smiled, fortunately, the three children did not forget their own mother. drank some japonica rice porridge, and then went to wash, let Liu Zi help push the oil, and after another toss, Pearl really put on a cotton robe and put on a plain satin fox fur coat, and was going to see the children. As soon as I walked through the gate, I saw Qin Deying standing under the corridor, and when I saw the pearl, I was also stunned, a complicated look flashed in my eyes, and I bowed down to salute the pearl, "Mother!" ”

Pearl's outfit is too casual, the cotton robe and fox fur are more like pajamas and nightgowns, and this outfit was originally worn in the house. After washing, my hair dried out easily, and now it was still damp, so I simply tied my hair up, folded it back and tied it, and the forehead and sideburns fell down.

It is indeed inappropriate to meet his stepson like this, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the eldest young master?" ”

After a long time, Qin Deying said, "I heard Min'er say that her mother saved her life, and later went into the ice water to save people, I am afraid that it was because she was saved first, and the rest of the prince and the second prince had to be saved." Mother's body was greatly injured because of this, my mother came back today, and used force again, and also worked for seven or eight hours to treat the wounded soldiers, mother, you have recovered from a serious illness, and you are extremely tired for a few days, you must not be reckless, go back first and see the third brother tomorrow! ”

Mama Liu beside her also followed the persuasion, and Pearl had no choice but to go back, just turned around, and felt that it was wrong, so she turned around and said to Qin Deying, "The eldest young master is here, is there something to tell me?" ”

"Originally, there were, but looking at my mother's current appearance, it's important to let my mother rest first."

Pearl frowned and said, "Since there is something, if you don't say it, how can I sleep peacefully?" ”

"I just want to ask my mother for advice, Deying is the eldest son, so eventful, Deying just wants to share the worries of her parents." Qin Deying came this time, he did come to ask for advice, after such a long period of contact, he was not very optimistic about this stepmother who was about the same age as himself, and felt that it was just a little girl, but now it seems that this is not the case, and when he arrived in Zhuangzi, he saw the subordinates on Zhuangzi, so many forbidden places, such a big workshop, flowers, jewelry processing factories, jade processing factories, caravans and shops. He came to this Zhuangzi, saw that the guards on the Zhuangzi were very heavily guarded, the population was large, and there were firearms in their hands, and it was rare to see Liu Xuan come here with a lot of them, and there were dozens of big carts that were continuously transported to Zhuangzi, or a big carriage pulled by two horses, the car was very big and heavy, and the things on the car were covered, and later he learned that the top was all Hetian jade transported back from the west, which was only seventy percent, and there were some, which were transported to the south, which was his father's share, and it was to be sent to the south to be processed by good craftsmen. Sell it for military expenses. This news was only known after coming here, and my father came to see it once. It can be seen how well-trained the people in Zhuangzi are.

The more he knew, the more he knew that the truth he could understand was limited, the more he was impressed by this stepmother, thinking that everything his stepmother had done was not entirely done by the queen woman, and he fully believed that his stepmother had strong financial resources, had a wide range of connections, and had many subordinates, and he didn't know where they came from. But he knows the skills of these subordinates, and those guards, not only young people, but also middle-aged people, people in their forties, they use different weapons, and their martial arts are even different. But each has its own strengths, and being able to protect the pearls at such a small cost and they are safe and sound, this ability can be seen to be unusual. And he even heard that his father started to deploy early, and this matter was done by his stepmother, and it can even be said that his stepmother proposed it.

Pearl understood, and felt that it was good that he could come and ask about this matter, so she didn't care about his thoughts, and said, "Come over with Kong tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes, Mother."

Pearl went back to the room, she also knew that she really needed a good rest, so she turned off the lights early, entered the space, and went to sleep on the big bed, this sleep, she slept for more than ten hours, but this was not enough, she went to the medicine warehouse to find the extract of ginseng and astragalus, plus glucose, and put it on for herself, on the other hand, she calculated in her heart the armaments that the two of them had collected in recent years, how much food, how many cotton clothes and military uniforms, and especially the reserve of medicines, since it had exposed Western medical skills, Then there is no need to hide. Besides, over the years, Pearl has privately trained a large number of military doctors, battlefield treatment, only if it does not hurt the heart, lungs and neck, it can probably be saved, of course, it is not comparable with modern surgeons, but at this time, it is already a miracle to be able to hurt the abdomen and not die, even at that time, the survival rate may only be half.

After the pearls were ordered, the tools for preparing medicines, refining salt water and glucose, antibiotics and other medicines were all made, and production began, and now they have been stored for half a year, and now that the war has begun, they will be ready to use immediately. After that, Pearl ate the Nourishing Pill again, knowing that it was useless to add the Nourishing Pill of the Eight Merit Water, so she ate it normally, although her lifespan was limited, but it was better to die without illness, she didn't want to be sick all the time. After that, Pearl rested for a while, tidied up the space, and found a lot of bohemian and European court style jewelry designs, mainly necklaces, bracelets, bracelets and pendants, and also found some hairpins, hair combs, gemstone headbands and collar buckles, and brooches. Of course, there are also a lot of blueprints for gemstone buttons. When I was ready, I came out and lay down on my bed and slept well.

When I woke up the next morning, Liu Xuan came over and reported the harvest to the pearl, this time, the jade I got was all the best jade, and the sheep fat jade accounted for eighty percent, and the rest was white jade, verdant jasper, all black black jade, and I got a very rare, high-quality topaz, all kinds of jade, all kinds of jade, large and small. There are also fine aquamarines, sapphires, tourmalines, garnets, diopside crystals, and agate. In addition, there are diamonds, turquoise, etc. Pearl went to see it, and asked them to make a Western jewelry set that they were in a hurry to get first. It's hard to predict how the war will develop in the future, and jade and antiques will definitely drop in price, so you can put it aside and concentrate on preparing for the sea business now.
