Chapter 10 Repentance

In the Rejuvenation Hall, Gong Yan lay on the bed with a pale face, looking at her weak son beside her, regretting her mistake.

If it weren't for her gullibility and greed for wealth and wealth, why would her premature birth cause her congenital insufficiency of flesh and blood? Now that she has fallen to such a point, she is a weak woman, she can't think of any way, she only tears every day.

Gong Yan and Wu Liang are both from Weinan, and they were both sold into slavery in Beijing because their families were too poor.

She entered Jian'anhou Mansion at the age of eight, and for the first time in her life, she was able to eat a full stomach, and she was very happy! But she was stupid, and she couldn't recognize a few words after studying for a long time. The hands are more clumsy, the abacus can't be learned, the needle and thread are not good, and the stitches are very thick. Even the most basic cooking skills and cooking supplements or something, I always can't grasp the heat, and after wasting the ingredients a few times, Mama Jiao Xi only let her do some rough work such as sprinkling and sweeping.

The only good thing about Gong Yan is that she is good-looking, so she was later promoted to a second-class maid by Zuo Congyun, after all, she can bring it to work. There are many opportunities to meet Jian'an Hou, and Gong Yan has also had some thoughts about not being on the stage.

Jian'an Hou and his wife have a deep relationship, and they are served by a few small servants. When Gong Yan saw the skillful Qiu Ju in the needlework room, she took the initiative to take off her clothes and seduce her by giving clothes to Hou Ye. As a result, he was ordered by Hou Ye to throw Qiu Ju out naked, and after being beaten to death, he was directly thrown to a mass grave!

Gong Yan's heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix was immediately extinguished, she wanted to live, dress decently and look good, and just eat a full meal. For the rest, she knew that she had a normal brain, so she should not think about it.

Wu Liang is a small guy in charge of the warehouse in the house, and he often walks around, and the two of them are fellow villagers, so they get better unconsciously.

The two secretly had fun a few times, and they didn't know it until Gong Yan Kuishui was nearly three months in the future, and she realized that she was pregnant.

Gong Yan was frightened and found an opportunity to tell Wu Liang, Wu Liang was startled and told Gong Yan to be careful not to leak the matter. The servants in the Hou Mansion will be severely punished if they give and receive them privately without knowing their masters. Gong Yan knew what was wrong, so she naturally kept it secret.

After a few days, Wu Liang came to Gong Yan very happily, saying that he had raised enough silver taels, so let her not worry, and someone would come to ransom her out of the house in two days.

Sure enough, on the third day, there was a Mama Liu who begged to see Mrs. Zuo, saying that it was Gong Yan's family, and now that the family is getting better, she wants to redeem Gong Yan and help her find a good family to marry.

The Marquis of Jian'an has always been lenient to his subordinates, and Mrs. Zuo exempted Gong Yan from redeeming her silver, and rewarded her with a few good clothes and jewelry and twenty taels of silver, before selling the deed of sale to send her out of the mansion.

Overjoyed, she didn't know that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for her later!

Mama Liu actually took her to a small two-entry courtyard, and the four maids greeted her diligently to help her with her parcels and luggage, served her to freshen up and change clothes, eat, drink and dress, and called her "madam" every day.

Gong Yan speculated about her current daily use, although she was not as luxurious as Mrs. Jian'anhou, but she was also comparable to the lady of an ordinary official eunuch and a wealthy family.

Mama Liu only let her raise the fetus with peace of mind, and when Wu Liang came, everything would naturally be clear. Although Gong Yan was quite uneasy, she enjoyed it very much.

Wu Liang came to see her every three or five days, and he only told her to raise the baby with peace of mind, and Gong Yan gradually got used to the life of such a noble lady.

Gong Yan is in good health, and the fetus is growing safely.

When she was almost eight months pregnant, Mama Liu knelt in front of Gong Yan and begged Gong Yan to do her a favor. In the past few months, Mama Liu and the four maids have served her very well, and she hurriedly helped Mama Liu up and asked for details.

Mama Liu cried to Gong Yan with a handful of snot and tears: "Mrs. Gong, the head of the old slave's family, was ruined by Jian'an Hou!" The old slave came to Beijing this time to find an opportunity to avenge the old slave's hard-lived family of dozens of people! ”

In the past two months, Mama Liu and the four maids have been talking to Gong Yan from time to time about how Jian'an Hou is dignified, but secretly bullying the people to collect money, subtly, Gong Yan naturally believes in Mama Liu.

Gong Yan helped Mama Liu up, and felt embarrassed: "Mama, I'm just a second-class maid in the Hou Mansion, and I never let outsiders enter the Hou Ye's study on weekdays, and I can't get the evidence of the Hou Ye's misdeeds!" ”

Gong Yan knows that the government pays attention to evidence, and Jian'an Hou's study must be a lot, but she has already left the mansion and has a big belly, where is there a way to get it?

"There is no need for Mrs. to find evidence of Jian'anhou's crimes, the old slave just wants to stink Jian'anhou's reputation first, so that he will be scolded, as for the rest, the tree will fall and scatter, Jian'anhou's reputation will be gone, and the rest of the dirty and dirty things will naturally not be hidden."

Wu Liang also frequently persuaded Gong Yan that if Jian'anhou recognized the child, then it would definitely be a hundred times better to raise the child in Jian'anhou's mansion than to follow them. For the sake of face and reputation, the Hou Mansion of Jian'an must at least raise the children to adulthood.

If you don't recognize it, it doesn't matter, they helped Mama Liu with this great favor, and they got thousands of taels of silver for nothing. When the money is in hand, the couple will find a remote place to hide, and then buy hundreds of acres of land to become rich men, which is better than being a slave to others.

Gong Yan listened to Wu Liang's words, and her eyes were full of rich and noble days, so she naturally agreed. So he listened to Mama Liu's strategy and performed such a play in front of the Jian'an Hou Mansion, but the result was a fiasco!

Wu Liang has no news now, and it is estimated that there will be more luck than luck. And she, a weak woman, offended two Hou Mansions, what good can she do?

Gong Yan glanced at her son with teary eyes, and with a ruthless heart, she untied her belt and committed suicide.

She prayed that her death would at least appease the anger of the two princes and not embarrass her son. "Rejuvenation Hall" is well-known, and the medical girl who comes to take care of her every day is a kind-hearted person who will settle her children well.

The news of Gong Yan's self-cut, Huichun Hall informed Jintong as soon as possible. Jintong sighed a few times, and then asked Wu An to help find a solid family in need of a child, and it was a good deed to send the orphan over to be raised.

————————

Although he was comforted by the Holy Lord's 10,000-word words, Lu Zilu still held the consciousness of throwing his life to southern Xinjiang and trekked hard all the way.

There were still 180 kilometers away from the destination, and Lu Zi, who was covered in dust and dust, was escorted to the ironclad army camp by Zheng Qiyan's personal soldiers, who had been waiting for a long time.

Zheng Qiyan personally went out of the camp to greet him, with a 120,000-strong attitude, and he couldn't fix Lu Ziyan, so he just gave up his hands and talked nonsense to Zheng Qiyan again and again. In other words, he is a degraded minister, shouldn't he take the initiative to pat Zheng Qiyan's ass first?

He thinks that he is an iron-clad minister, and he can't do the kind of work that bends his waist for five buckets of rice. However, the hot Zhengyi Pin Pingning Marquis greeted him with a smile, he didn't want to have a black face.

So the two smiling middle-aged men greeted each other harmoniously for two quarters of an hour, and Zheng Qiyan went straight in!

Lu Ziyan followed Zheng Qiyan to investigate around, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he would succeed in ten thousand bones, and the worst thing was the people's homes.

On one side of the Qiushui River, more than a dozen cities were almost wiped out by Hongbo, and on the other side, Zheng Qiyan built a reservoir to block the lower reaches of the Qiushui River, diverting water to flood the three cities including Chunshui City, where Hongbo's army was located, which was full of messes and unbearable to see.

The two sides of the strait were devastated, and Lu Zizhu secretly scolded in his heart: Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like guns. Such a tragic situation is afraid that it will not be able to recover in ten years.

Although Zheng Qiyan rescued the people captured by Hong Bo, and since he arrived in southern Xinjiang, he has been sending soldiers around to help the people rebuild their homes. In addition, we have worked hard to open up barren mountains and prepare to vigorously develop agriculture.

The problem is that Zheng Qiyan is very good at fighting, and this person who manages the people or something is not very professional. Although King Jin secretly sent dozens of staff members to help, it was a pity that there was still a lack of talent who could lead the overall situation.

Lu Ziyan's past resume Gongsun Wuji has carefully studied it, and he is a talent who can take charge of himself and govern the people well, so Zheng Qiyan naturally wants to stammer him. Southern Xinjiang is in ruins, so it depends on Lu Zi!

Southern Xinjiang is a rare rich place, Hong Bo was defeated and fled into the mountains, too late to take away the looted gold and silver treasures. Zheng Qiyan sent someone to count it, and the dog's head gold in excellent condition was more than 30 million taels, not to mention anything else, this alone can be worth the income of the government for five years. Other treasures were also loaded with hundreds of cars, not to mention that these were all left after Zheng Qiyan's army looted.

Since the founding of the Great Yi Dynasty, when the generals who led the troops to fight won the battle, they all tacitly assumed that their soldiers would loot the spoils of war on their own.

The prerequisites are: no human life, and the looted property can be moved and brought back by yourself. As for the rest, take an inventory, the generals themselves will take a part, and the rest will be handed over to the treasury.

The dog's head is a big lump of gold, and it needs to be melted back into gold ingots. Zheng Qiyan had nothing left on the surface, loaded thousands of carts, and successively sent troops to escort them to Shangjing. Straight to the Holy Lord two and a half years younger, went to his daughter-in-law Xiangrui Lou to bouquet flowers Oiran Xiaoman, and his waist was very strong.

Such a rich land, as long as it is well governed, it is equivalent to the king of Jin having a reserve granary, which gives the king of Jin an extra bargaining chip. Zheng Qiyan was naturally very concerned, and sent people to accompany Lu Ziyan to investigate around and make plans for several days.

Lu Zizhu forgot to sleep and eat, and helped the people rebuild their homes city by city. Promote agriculture, develop handicraft industry, and support trade between southern Xinjiang and other places.

Zheng Qiyan saw that Lu Ziyan really lived up to his expectations, so he felt at ease to do what he should do.

Hongbo is now colluding with the Uighurs, and it is not easy to annihilate them in one fell swoop. After Zheng Qiyan played the Holy Lord, he reorganized the army of 400,000 and stationed it on the spot.

The army was still divided into four routes, and two were practiced every day to be ready for battle at any time. Along the way, wasteland was opened up to grow crops, and in the future, after the army withdrew from southern Xinjiang, it could be left for the people to cultivate. helped Lu Ziyan all the way, and by the way, he could also help Zheng Qiyan brush up a wave of good reputation. The four roads took turns to change, and southern Xinjiang became more and more prosperous under the governance of Lu Zizhu.
