Chapter 214 The folk woman Chixi visits the emperor
In the next two months, Chixi took more than 100 strong men to reclaim all the surrounding soil slopes and plant grain, and smoked more than 6,000 chickens, ducks and geese that had been pickled some time ago into bacon and stored them.
It is also a return to the old business, hatching more than 3,000 chickens, ducks and geese in captivity.
They are numerous, and they eat a lot.
Every 10 days, someone had to go down the mountain to buy food.
And they are worried about being followed, so they will dress up as farmers, buy coarse rice and polished rice, and go to a different place every time to avoid being noticed by others.
Chi Xi is also very diligent, leading a group of people to process and pack all the medicinal materials she can take out, write their names, precautions, and effects in case of emergency.
She also asked Shirou Zhong, who was forcibly brought in, to teach everyone different treatment methods and medication standards for different injuries.
Pond Creek is as thoughtful as it can be.
At first, everyone respected her because she was the general's wife, but after three months of getting along, everyone was impressed by her tenacity and thoughtfulness and personality.
Respect her from the bottom of my heart.
"Madam, recently the imperial court conscription, many people in the village have been arrested."
Fu Ziheng came back from inquiring about the news, and said with a very serious expression: "Many people in Dahe Village have been arrested, and some people can only keep two men at home with all their wealth, and the situation in Kyoto City is very chaotic, but fortunately, the general is safe and sound." ”
After pondering for a moment, Chi Xi asked, "Where is Xianggong?" What happened to the emperor? Who is leading the troops in the frontier? ”
"The general is now guarding the city of Kyoto, and the emperor is in a difficult situation, and the family headed by the Empress Dowager Guo has long torn his face, and every step is difficult. The frontier is now led by General Huo Liancheng, he is the emperor's companion, and he has won the emperor's trust, the situation is not good, but it is not without a chance of winning. ”
Fu Ziheng hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Some time ago, Chu Xiucai was on the high school list, and was reused by the emperor, although the official rank was not high, he was appointed as a supervisor and went to the frontier with General Huo. ”
At the beginning, Chixi was worried that Chu Bicheng and his mother would be alone at home and no one to take care of her, so he took her with him by the way when he left, and during this time, Chu Bicheng and his mother didn't want to be idle, so she made a pair of shoes for each of the more than 100 big men.
Chu Bicheng's mother is ingenious, and the shoes she makes are easy to wear and wearable, and these men like it very much.
So they went out to inquire about the news, and they were willing to inquire about Chu Bicheng's news by the way, and bring it back to Chu Bicheng's mother.
"Okay, I got it."
After Chu Bicheng's mother learned the news of Chu Bicheng, the heart that had been hanging was finally put back in her stomach.
She wiped her tears and said excitedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, now the situation is getting more and more dangerous, and I will become a person who goes out alone, I always remember it in my heart, and now I know that he is fine, and I am relieved." ”
"He also passed the exam, and his ability is outstanding, the emperor is a person who loves talents, and if he is reused, he will definitely protect his safety."
Tian Cuihe smiled on the side and said, "You just put your heart back in your stomach!" ”
"Hey, okay, I'll be relieved that he's okay."
As for the matter of winning the exam, Chu Bicheng and his mother were very relieved, but now that the situation is turbulent, even if the news brought back by Fu Ziheng can make her feel a little more at ease.
The frontier is at war, the sword has no eyes, and her son does not know martial arts, if he is accidentally injured or ......
She was really not at ease.
just didn't want Tian Cuihe and the others to worry about her.
After all, judging from the information she got from hiding in the mountains with Tian Cuihe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for three months, Xi Dazhuang and Tian Cuihe are not ordinary people.
Even when Xi Dazhuang is out of the house, the danger is far higher than that of her son.
But Tian Cuihe and Chi Xi still warmed her as much as possible and comforted her, letting her know that she was not alone, which moved her and didn't want to cause trouble to Tian Cuihe's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The years in the mountains have flown by.
Fu Ziheng brought back news from time to time, letting Chi Xi and the others know that Xi Dazhuang and Chu Bicheng were fine.
The crops they planted and the newly planted medicinal herbs are growing very well, and the breeding range of chickens, ducks and geese has been expanded to tens of thousands.
They didn't have to feed themselves, they paddled a few hills to fence off the chickens, ducks and geese, and let them grow freely.
At most, when the chickens, ducks and geese don't have enough food, throw some of them in, and these little things are also growing up healthily, as long as they grow up, they will be slaughtered, salted, and then smoked and dried with firewood.
It not only ensures that the chicken, duck and goose meat will not spoil, but also ensures that the salt content is sufficient.
These chickens, ducks, and goose meat, Chixi was ready to be sent to the front line for the soldiers to eat, because in the previous life, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties because of the lack of food and medicinal materials, and they were also depressed because of the lack of salt.
Even if it won in the end, it would be a miserable victory, and the dynasty would be greatly damaged by it.
In this life, Chixi is willing to do her best, in the name of her father-in-law, to do things sincerely for the emperor to show her loyalty.
Even if you scatter all your wealth, you don't hesitate to do it.
This turmoil has not ended after four months, causing panic among the people, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers and a shortage of military rations.
The emperor was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, just when he gritted his teeth and was about to deduct some more food from all over the country, the chief eunuch beside him hurriedly entered the hall, and said in front of Xi Dazhuang and the emperor's confidants: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xi asks to see her, saying that she has a way to solve the emperor's urgent needs!" ”
"Mrs. Xi?"
Emperor Xiao Suirong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his eyes to look at Xi Dazhuang, Xi Dazhuang's brows furrowed suddenly, his face was slightly gloomy, and he obviously didn't quite understand which one this was.
"Which Mrs. Xi?"
In order to avoid saying the wrong person, Xiao Suirong still calmed down and asked lightly.
The chief eunuch glanced at Xi Dazhuang, and then smiled and said, "It's General Xi's wife, Xi Chi." ”
Xi Dazhuang's brows furrowed more and more.
He clearly warned that he had crossed the pond and stream, not to come, it was dangerous.
She didn't listen to the advice, not only did she come, but she didn't see him first and listen to his arrangement, but came directly to meet the emperor!
Who gave her such audacity?
Xiao Suirong is a calculating, cold-hearted and cold-hearted person, even if he is a little sincere to the people around him, he is inevitably suspicious.
Chixi's desperate approach is really dangerous.
Xiao Suirong quietly glanced at Xi Dazhuang, Xi Dazhuang was about to speak, Xiao Suirong laughed: "Okay, good, worthy of being Ah Duo's wife, a heroine among women!" Hurry up and invite her in! ”
Xiao Suirong politely used the word please.
Xi Dazhuang understood that Xiao Suirong was determined to see his daughter-in-law.
Chi Xi was wearing a plain green shirt, and her long black hair was neatly tied behind her head, and she only used the plum blossom hairpin that Xi Dazhuang bought for her.
Obviously plain and elegant to the extreme.
But the moment she stepped into the main hall, it was still eye-catching, and Xiao Suirong, who was surrounded by three thousand beauties in the harem, flashed a trace of amazement in her eyes.
Chixi first subconsciously looked for Xi Dazhuang's figure, and when he saw him, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then stepped forward and saluted: "The people's woman Chixi greets the emperor." ”
