"How?"

Even Mother Wu, who was not angry, leaned over curiously.

"I heard that the Seven Princes had just married the county lord of Zhaoyang when they went on the expedition, and it was not easy for the newlywed Yan'er to be forced to go out when he was in love...... Now that it's been almost a month, no one has been seen alive, no corpse has been died, how can the Seven Princes still have the heart to fight? "Look left and right, Liu Ma stepped forward and lowered her voice, "The latest news in the northwest, the vanguard army of the Seven Princes suffered defeat as soon as they arrived in Ganxia, and now the soldiers have retreated thirty miles and camped in Ningdu......" The voice unconsciously raised again, "Third grandmother, you don't know that you are in the inner house, just this one news, the price of food in our Tanxi has risen by one hundred wen overnight!" ”

“…… The Seven Imperial Concubines are missing? Zhao Qing's eyes widened in shock.

Not to mention the mansion of the royal family and nobles, it is the richest man in a small town like Gulan, and there are still twenty or thirty nursing homes in the Shen Mansion, how can the mansion of the Seven Princes be without the Jingwei Dead and the Imperial Forest Army, a dignified concubine will disappear if she says she is missing, how is this possible?

Scared Liu's mother.

She covered Zhao Qing's mouth, "My aunt, you can't go around like this!" ”

Thinking of the stern admonition of Lord Yin of Gulan Zhixian County, Mother Liu's face turned pale again.

"This news has been blocked by the imperial court, because there is a secret decree sent to the yamen to secretly find the whereabouts of the imperial concubine, and the government goes to Yiren to verify, and all women whose origin is unknown and whose household registration procedures are incomplete will be detained, and the portrait will be sent for identification...... I've just heard this amazing news, and if it's true, you must not go out and talk nonsense. ”

Secretly regretting that she had said such a major thing on impulse, Liu's mother was busy with her thoughts, and she refused to say anything more than what the curious Wu's mother Bao Jin and others asked.

The affairs of the imperial court are 108,000 miles away from herself, a woman in the inner house who can't even get out of the second door, whether the seventh princess is really missing or not has nothing to do with her, seeing that Mother Liu refused to say more, Zhao Qing smiled, and turned his head to look at the twenty people standing in two rows at the bottom of the steps, "Who among you will raise flowers?" ”

Seeing that she finally began to choose a maid, Mother Liu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

*****

The sun sets in the sky, and the yellow sand is long.

On the scorching ancient road, several groups of horses galloped violently, rolling up the loess.

"General, General!"

……

“…… It looks like someone is chasing after you. ”

"Harnessing ......"

Feeling the tremor of the earth, a few black-clothed men in a hurry in front of him reined in the war horses.

The leader is a man in his twenties, resolute and handsome, heroic, he holds the reins and controls the jujube red horse under his crotch to turn an arc on the official road, and stops in the middle of the road, looking up.

"It's Mo Shu!" Someone shouted behind the boy.

As he spoke, several groups of fast horses had already run closer.

"General!" The first tiger man with a full face and beard threw off the saddle and flew off the horse.

The man frowned.

"What's the matter?" In the obsidian-clear black pupils, an awe-inspiring chill flashed.

“…… The general is going to find the Seventh Princess himself? ”

The man is none other than the second Khan of the Tata tribe Abul Khanno who captured alive three years ago, the commander of the Western Expedition in the northwest of the famous town, and the general of Zhenwu - Li Ji, the seventh prince.

Hearing Mo Shu's words, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he was speechless.

"In front of the two armies, the commander left his post without permission, and once he was known by Banzai, it would be a capital crime to kill his head." Mo Shu fell to his knees, "My subordinates beg the general to think twice, don't fall for the second prince!" ”

If you don't disappear sooner or later, the princess disappeared when the general's army and the Tartars were facing each other, which was obviously a poisonous plan set up by several princes to eradicate the general.

Mo Shu's eyes were red, and he looked at Li Ji expectantly.

The other generals who chased after him also pleaded again and again.

What about stratagem?

That's her wife.

Especially since she also carries the secret tokens of his Li family for generations, once it falls into the hands of other princes, he will die without a place to be buried!

There was a flash of pain on the handsome face that was upright and strong, as if it was carved and had a deep contour, and Li Ji's expression was cold.

"I have made up my mind, don't persuade Mo Shen Ling." The topic changed, "I have left a bag for the deputy general Guo Min, during my absence, all actions of the Mo staff must be under the command of Guo Min, and there must be no mistakes." The voice was flat and deep, revealing unmistakable determination.

"General!"

With a loud shout, Mo Shu's voice suddenly stopped when he met the eagle's sharp gaze.

"Don't worry about the Mo Shen Ling...... "The strategist Li Yuzhi who was following Li Ji said, "The general is also a plan...... The so-called false is the real and the real is false, and there is no need to deliberately conceal this matter, just act according to the general's orders, the general ......" He glanced at Li Ji as if unintentionally, "I will be allowed to return within a month!" ”

Who said he would be allowed to return in a month?

Li Ji glanced at Li Yuzhi coldly.

Li Yuzhi shrugged his shoulders incomprehensibly.

Li Ji and a group of people walked away.

Looking at the red steed that disappeared into the yellow sand, Mo Shu slammed his fist to the ground.

With so many flowers and butterflies surrounding her like a butterfly, she didn't choose the prince who was obedient to her, why did this Zhaoyang county lord choose his general?

If it weren't for her ridiculous choice, which was unexpected by everyone including Banzai and the Empress, how could she force his general to this step, like a raging fire!

*****

In the Willow Garden.

The second master was waving his pen and drawing on the rough-edged paper that covered most of the table.

Listening to Xiaoya's reply, "Manager Liang took Liu's mother to Lijing Pavilion." "I persuaded the second wife, who was still crooked on the pillow to watch him paint," ...... In the end, she is still a child, her eyesight is hidden, and she will pick more than 30 people at once, it is inevitable that she will have no idea, you go over and take a look, seeing that you are in charge in person, Manager Liang and Mother Liu don't dare to embarrass her too much. ”

The second wife remained motionless.

The second master raised his head, "No matter how much my sister-in-law annoys her, in the end, it is a person in our hospital, knowing that you don't want to see her, and she still comes over every day to say goodbye, and she is so respectful and filial that people can't find fault with it......"

As long as you don't show your fangs!

The second wife added in her heart.

muttered, "She's pregnant, and I'm afraid of being sick to the child." The voice was low, and even the second wife herself could hear how weak she was.

At first, she was afraid that the eldest lady would be angry and didn't dare to let her in, but now she was really shocked to see that this seemingly harmless person and animal entered the door and drove all the people of Lijing Pavilion in three days, and tossed the Shen Mansion in five days and almost lifted the roof of the third grandmother...... The pungent temperament hidden under the gentle and demure exterior is like a cheetah lurking in the shadows ready to attack at any time, and it will show its sharp claws at any time, making it impossible to guard against.

Even a shrewd person as the eldest lady has suffered at her hands one after another, let alone herself?

Every time she thinks of this, the second wife beats a drum in her heart, afraid that once she looks at Zhao Qing, she will not be satisfied with her face in public, and she will be a mother-in-law.

Did you really let yourself punish her?

She is pregnant with Shen Huaiyu's only flesh and blood, and she can't move a single hair!

"Don't you stop coughing anymore?" The second old man frowned, "You are a mother-in-law, and it's not a matter if you don't face each other." ”

"Then I'll go over and have a look?" The second wife hesitated.

"Let's go." The second master greeted Mingxiang, "Wait for the second wife to change her clothes and prepare a sedan chair!" ”

Changed into a dark blue brocade plain back, some gray hair neatly pulled a low and not low moon gaze bun, and looked at the mirror with a gold-plated beaded dot emerald hairpin that was diagonally inserted on the top of the bun, the second wife was about to get up, and the little maid came in and replied: "Mother Wu is here." ”

"Finished picking?!" So fast?

Isn't she just like buying cabbage and putting it in the basket, right?

Listening to Mother Wu's words, the second wife suddenly turned her head, and a half-stunned face was reflected in the bronze mirror beside her.

The second master also raised his head in surprise.

“…… Mother Liu only brought twenty people, so she picked quickly. After telling me that Mother Liu only brought twenty people over, Mother Wu looked down at the second wife.

This is obviously the eldest lady behind the ghost, and Zhao Qing has just entered the door without any foundation, it is not easy to win the opportunity to buy slaves from outside, and the second wife has to come forward to support this matter.

Shen Huaiyu is dead, and it is also a blessing for the second wife to be able to have such a daring, spicy but not reckless daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have one heart, and the old lady is in the middle to check and balance, and the second room will never be bullied by the big house as it was a few days ago.

"Oh......"

The second wife only sighed, then turned her head to the mirror and slowly picked some emerald hairpins.

Mother Wu sighed in her heart.

The room was quiet.

The second wife asked in a slow voice, "What kind of people have you chosen?" ”

“…… I picked a big girl, two second-class maids, three third-class maids, two rough maids, a mother-in-law who can raise flowers, a cook, and two strong and strong mothers-in-law, a total of twelve people. Mother Wu's voice paused, "The meaning of the third grandmother, let the slave take over as the housekeeper mother, and raise the treasure towel to the first class, Qiaolan Xiangtong is still the second class, in this way, Lijing Pavilion has a housekeeper, two big maids, four second-class maids, three third-class maids, two rough maids, one flower mother-in-law, a cook, two nursing mothers-in-law, a total of sixteen people, so that they can support it." Secretly looking at the second wife's expression through the bronze mirror, "Because the slave, Qiaolan, and Xiangtong are all people in your house, the third grandmother specially sent the slave to ask for your meaning?" ”

"Raise the scarf to the first class?" The second wife frowned in surprise, "Why did she pick a big girl?" ”

"These people are so bad!" mentioned one, Wu's mother said in an angry tone, "There is even a little girl with a pimple on her face, and there is a scar on her neck, and the slave is watching from the side, which is really not good...... The third grandmother asked left and right, and finally picked a literate and hyphenated person, but she couldn't even catch up with the feet of the scarf. Secretly looking at the second wife's expression, "The third grandmother really can't do it, she was a second-class person when she was in front of you before, and she helped her in the most difficult time, so she was given a first-class number!" ”

deliberately accentuated the tone of the word 'make up the number', which was Zhao Qing's special explanation before she came.

"Such an ugly person, the third grandmother was also chosen?" Surprised by how the scar on the neck of the girl with a pimple on her face came from, Yanxiang asked out loud.

"She embroiders very well, I heard that she once worked as an embroiderer in the famous neon dress workshop in Zhongzhou Mansion, and the third grandmother stayed, called Yueniang, the name is very good, but even the slaves are panicked when they look at that face!" As if remembering that miserable face again, Wu's mother couldn't help but tremble.

"This Liu Ma is also a person who watches people put on dishes!" Mother Xue looked at the second wife angrily, "Mrs. should have someone call her in and knock her!" ”

If Shen Huaiyu was alive, she would dare to do this!

“…… almost lifted the roof, how could the sister-in-law let her buy it back? The second lady just sighed, frowned again, and said, "The scarf was personally demoted to the third class by the old lady......" There was a hint of condemnation in her worried tone.

Wouldn't mentioning it as a big girl be tantamount to slapping the old lady in the face?

Why doesn't she have a brain at all?

Under the light of the smooth bronze mirror, the second wife's haggard face was stretched long, and her brows were twisted into pimples.

"She can carry a treasure scarf, she is a grateful person." The second wife looked through the bronze mirror and saw that the serious back of the second master was bowing his head and rendering it on the snow-white woollen paper.

A gray sky gradually appeared in the bronze mirror, and a strong and upright welcoming pine stood proudly in the wind and rain.

Turning her head suddenly, the second lady stared blankly at the gloomy sky outside.

After a while, she said slowly, "Let her go back to the old lady by herself, and see what the old lady wants." ”
