"Speaking of purchasing New Year's goods, are the New Year's gifts sent to Jindu ready this year?"

Mrs. Wang continued to look at the ledger on the table, and there was no emotion in her words.

However, since Mrs. Wang got the right to be a housekeeper, the annual gifts sent by the mansion to Jindu every year are several times that of before, and they are worth a lot of money.

"It's already on the way to Jindu, don't worry, madam." The subordinate returned the favor.

"Since the Jingwang Mansion has passed the word, at today's banquet, it will be called to call the dragon and phoenix group tea to be placed in the main seat, and then ask Mrs. Xie to taste, Mrs. Xie has always loved tea, if she can get her affirmation, this tea will soon be popular in Liaoxi."

"No, the villain will do it."

Mrs. Wang's henchman bowed and retreated, and only then did she raise her head slightly and look out of the cold breeze window.

"Sister, why do you have to camp like this, let's live our own lives in Liaoxi, what does the turmoil in Jindu have to do with you and me?"

Behind the screen in the inner room of the account room, Mrs. Xie, who had just woken up from a nap, rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned lazily.

"If it weren't for the one in the palace back then, the reputation of my Wang family's generational Qingliu would have been ruined long ago, and I would have died at the hands of my stepmother."

Although Mrs. Wang was born in a scholarly family, she did not have to worry about eating and dressing, but she lost her mother at a young age, and her stepmother was a powerful character, and her life in the boudoir was not easy.

"Although she is kind to you, we have used enough things to the palace over the years, and besides, the one in the palace has never said that we should obey King Jing's orders."

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Wang grew up together, so they naturally knew exactly how she owed the Queen Mother back then.

It's just that Mrs. Xie has an indifferent and cold temperament, and even her husband is negligent in serving her heirs and doesn't pursue it, so there seems to be no one she cares about in this world.

"King Jing didn't want us to do anything excessive, it's just a cake of tea, I've also seen it, the tea is fragrant and fragrant, the tea cake is very exquisite, my sister will like it."

Mrs. Wang got up and went to the window, closed the window, and went back to the inner room to personally serve Mrs. Xie to get up, the two of them have been like this since childhood.

"You, you, blame you for taking too much care of me since I was a child, so that I can't do anything when I live to this age, and I have to rely on you for everything."

"Although my sister can rely on it, what if she relies on it for a lifetime."

"Isn't it just half a life later, how old are our children......

Speaking of the child, Mrs. Xie's graceful eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a faint sadness, and the child who passed away was a knot in her heart that could not be healed for life.

"Sister, don't think about those unhappy, the plum blossoms in the back garden yesterday were extraordinarily joyful, and the good news came this morning, the daughter-in-law of the Qing New Year is pregnant, Lang Zhong has seen it, and said that this baby should be a girl!"

The reason why Mrs. Wang gave birth to four sons in a row was actually to give birth to a girl to make up for the regret in Mrs. Xie's heart.

"Really?"

"It's true, my sister will take good care of her body and wait to be a grandmother!"

"Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, you and I are both going to be grandmothers......"

Wang Xie and his wife were silent for a long time, they were also young and famous, but this life was wasted in this high wall and deep courtyard after all.

In the bleak north, outside the city of western Liaoning, the sky has the first snow of this winter.

"It's snowing."

Zhang Zhishu opened the carriage curtain and looked at the sky intently.

"Ruixue Mega Year! Girl, this snow is falling so well! In the spring of next year, the grasslands of western Liaoning will be full of life! ”

On the way out of the city, Gu Changheng was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing loudly.

"We've bought so many things this time, we have to have a good fat year when we go back!"

Gu Zhong was also very happy, he came out to earn some money, and he thought about how to clean up the gang of people who bullied him and the owner in the past after returning to his hometown!

"But Mrs. Zhang, are you sure we really want to take a detour to Tumu Fort? I heard that the place is very desolate, and there are often rebels haunting, so we have so many good things with us, wouldn't it be bad luck if we encounter rebels? ”

"Han Yan is in the Civil Fort."

"But even if Han Qianhu is in Tumu Fort, we don't necessarily have to go!" Gu Zhong wailed, and his face was full of resistance.

"If you want me to say that it's better to go back to Xiyuan directly, don't take a detour, the owner, you should persuade Mrs. Zhang quickly! Can't let us follow the adventure just because she thinks about her own husband! ”

"Gu Zhong, this time, let's all listen to Mrs. Zhang."

Although Gu Changheng also had doubts in his heart, he still supported Zhang Zhishu's decision.

"Brother Gu, if we don't take a detour to Tumu Fort, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to return to Xiyuan safely."

"Why is that?"

As soon as Zhang Zhishu's words landed, Gu Zhong immediately shouted, "Could it be that we were too swaggering along the way and were remembered by some thief?" ”

Gu Changheng was also like a great enemy, and his expression was no longer relaxed.

"Don't worry, everything we did on this trip into the city is correct, and we have to take a detour to the Civil Fort, but it's just because of my identity."

Zhang Zhishu told the truth: "Han Yan was involved in the defeat of the Longxi Army, and he returned to the barracks to clear the stigma of the Longxi Army.

It was Han Yan who agreed with me that after the tea sales were over, he would go directly to Tumubao to meet, and then follow him back to his hometown. ”

Otherwise, once there is any change in the civil fort, it is difficult to ensure that the whereabouts of Zhang Zhishu and his party will be used by Han Yan's enemies.

After all, since leaving the southern border, there have been at least two groups of people staring at them along the way!

Zhang Zhishu has always been quiet and just does her own thing.

First, the enemy is in the dark, and she is in the light, so it is not easy to attack. Second, I don't want Gu Changheng and Gu Zhong to be involved.

"But Mrs. Zhang, Han Qianhu must have something important to do when he goes to Tumu Fort, so we don't have to go......

Gu Zhong still didn't want to go to such a dangerous place.

Zhang Zhishu had no choice but to say it directly.

"If we don't go to the civil fort, I'm afraid we won't know which group of people we have taken captive on the way, and we won't find out when we go out of the city gate? Someone followed us. ”

"Where?"

"Shhhh Don't look back, don't look around! Zhang Zhishu shouted, "We can't let the enemy in the shadows notice anything unusual, otherwise it will be difficult for us to reach the civil fort smoothly." ”

"Danger lurks, advance is death and retreat is death, go to Tumu Fort to find Han Qianhu, there is life only when Han Qianhu is here!"

Gu Changheng quickly sorted out his clues, and then didn't let Gu Zhong mess around, and said to Zhang Zhishu with a straight face: "Sister, let's not delay time, let's hurry!" ”

"Brother Gu doesn't have to be so nervous, no matter how bad it is, we still have the Jade Tiger and the Second Tiger!"

Zhang Zhishu comforted and eased the atmosphere, but the horsewhip in her hand was still waved firmly, and the group rushed to Tumu Fort non-stop.
