Chapter One Hundred and Six: The Place of Birth
"There seems to be no one in that house at the entrance of the village!"
When Geng Xingshuang thought about it, when he looked out of the car window, there was indeed a family at the entrance of the village, from the outside, the yard was quite large, but the courtyard wall had collapsed, and the courtyard was even more barren and overgrown, obviously uninhabited for a while.
"Speaking of which, the fourth girl should go to that family to take a look, I think she was still born in that yard!"
After confirming that this was the village where they had stayed back then, and seeing his daughter and niece looking at him with wide eyes and curiosity, Jiang began to recall what happened on the night they stayed in this village.
"Speaking of which, at that time, the army was in chaos, and the uncle led the troops to quell the chaos in Ningdu City, so that your father took a large family of children and children to run out of the city, thinking that he would avoid that for a while, as long as the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation would be stable, we were originally going to go out of the city from the south gate, all the way to Jicheng south of Ningdu, at that time Bofu had a courtyard in Jicheng......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Shi paused slightly, with a look of regret on his face, "Now that courtyard seems to have been sold......
"Mother, you didn't go to Jicheng later?" Geng Xingchen asked, she didn't care if the other courtyard in Jicheng was still there, and was anxious to know what was going on.
"At that time, the south city gate was stopped by the soldiers of Ning Nanwei sent by King Ke, because Uncle Ke was supportive ......"
"Third brother and sister, be cautious!"
As Jiang Shi spoke, he almost pouted, Geng Wen's heart sank, and he immediately reminded him.
Jiang looked around and found that there was no one else except for the people from Bofu, even this farmer was also going to buy vegetables, busy working in the house, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Geng Xingshuang heard the title of King Ke, and he roughly knew what the third aunt was talking about, it should be the change of Pillow Chang fourteen years ago, when the first emperor Changning Emperor was seriously ill, the second prince King Ke raised troops to attack the palace, forcing the first emperor to write an edict and set him up as the prince, and the same supporters of the three princes King Yu was not to be outdone, and crusaded against King Ke for the crime of rebellion.
In fact, it is not a choice, but the situation at that time, whether it is King Xi or King Ke, once they learn that a powerful minister supports their opponents, they will immediately send people to besiege them, or directly strangled them as a deterrent, or captured as a hostage for coercion, in short, it will not end too well.
At that time, although Uncle Anping did not make a clear statement, but secretly reached a consensus with King Xi, and everyone who should know naturally knew it, at that time, King Ke had the upper hand slightly, and the ladies and children of Uncle Anping had to flee outside the city to avoid the limelight temporarily.
Geng Xingshuang once secretly calculated that Geng Xingbing was born in September of the 22nd year of Changning, and the change of Pillow Chang occurred in the autumn of the 22nd year of Changning, and the battle for the heir lasted for more than two months, until the second heavy snow fell in Ningdu City, because His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who was also the then Prince Xuan led troops back to Ningdu from the Northern Regions, to quell the rebellion in Ningdu and even Daning.
Later, King Xuan ascended the throne, and the next year the year was changed to the first year of Shengning, and now it is the fourteenth year of Shengning.
"Mother, the fourth sister was born on the way to flee at that time? Could it be that he was born in the same family at the entrance of the village? ”
Geng Xingchen pulled Jiang's sleeve and shook it, asking her to continue to talk about the past.
Jiang was also happy to say, "No, at that time, your second aunt suddenly started on the road, we had no choice but to find a nearby village to settle down first, it was the closest to this village at that time, I thought that such a small village could not find a stable woman, we were still worried."
As a result, the second sister-in-law and Sister Bing's luck is really good, as soon as they entered the village, they saw the first family, they heard the baby's cry inside, but they didn't expect that the daughter-in-law of that family was also giving birth, we just gave birth to the child when we arrived, and the stable woman just freed her hands to deliver the second sister-in-law, until midnight, your fourth sister was born, we were going to leave again at dawn, after all, the second sister-in-law had just given birth, and the body was still weak, and it was really inconvenient to rush in the middle of the night, but the day was not yet dawn, and the guards said that there was a team of soldiers coming, We don't know if it was someone sent by King Ke to pursue, so we didn't dare to stay at all, so we had to leave here overnight. ”
After Jiang finished speaking, he glared at Geng Yan, "It was already dark when I came, and it was not dawn when I left, where could I recognize that this is the place where we stayed overnight." ”
Geng Xingshuang thought for a moment, Geng Xingbing was not born in Bofu, nor was he born in Bofu Zhuangzi, but was born in the farmer's family in front, and it just so happened that the farmer's daughter-in-law also gave birth to a child on the same day.
"Mother, third aunt, do you know whether the daughter-in-law of that peasant family gave birth to a boy or a girl that day?"
Jiang shook his head, Geng Xingshuang looked at her mother, Ruan Shi was not very sure, but listened to Geng Yan affirmed: "It's a female baby, I also heard that when the old woman was preparing a meal in the kitchen, she scolded her daughter-in-law while smashing and beating, saying that she had been married for a few years, took a lot of medicine, spent a lot of silver, and she raised her with good food and drink, and finally had a good time, but she gave birth to a money-losing goods, in short, the scolding was very ugly."
Ruan and Jiang didn't know about this one, although they were fleeing at that time, but the Bofu had not yet fallen, and there were not many subordinates and guards they brought out, so hostesses like Ruan and Jiang just rested in the house, taking care of the Yao family before and after the birth, and leaving other things to the subordinates, so they didn't know the specific situation of the farmer's family at all.
Geng Xingshuang was about to ask what was the situation when they left the farmhouse, when she saw that Geng Xingbing had returned, she glanced at Geng Xingshuang's group of people under the tree, didn't get into the carriage again, and walked towards this side.
"Uncle and aunt, third uncle and third aunt, sixth sister, seventh sister! For my father's business, let the elders and two sisters bother, if my father can be well, the eldest brother, the third sister, the fifth sister and the fifth brother, our five brothers and sisters will definitely be grateful and unkind! ”
"Sister Bing'er is too outside, your father is also our brother, Sister Shuang'er and their uncle, and doing this for him is also what we should do."
Geng Wen smiled gently, looked in the direction she came, and asked, "Sister Bing just went to ......"
"Oh, I've been sitting in the carriage for a long time, and my legs and feet are a little numb, so I got out of the carriage and walked."
Geng Xingshuang paid attention to the expression on Geng Xingbing's face when she spoke, but she didn't see anything.
Maybe I'm too sensitive, how can I have so many secrets for me to dig up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the meal is ready!"
A peasant woman's voice came from behind, and Geng Xingbing immediately smiled: "I'll call my grandmother for dinner!"
