After dressing as a deposed prince's favorite concubine Section 118
"Isn't it time to give the Wang family a hint?" Lu Li's hand grabbed her arm uncontrollably, her nails were very sharp, and if you scratch hard, it will leave a deep mark. If you are ruthless, it will turn into blood marks.
Just when Lu Li was thinking about whether to make some big moves and give the Wang family a hint. Wang Shu is preparing to open an ancestral hall.
As soon as the end of August passed, Wang Xuanzhi showed filial piety. The opening of the ancestral hall of the Wang family was put on the agenda. Master Qian had already informed the elders of the township head, the town mayor, and the village chief. The Wang family has no other relatives, and some important treasurers have to be invited over. There are also three gentlemen of Wang Xuanzhi who were agreed in the morning. All of them were invited to the Qinghe Wang's house.
On the day of the opening of the ancestral hall, Wang Shu was escorted by the magpie lark and other four girls, burned incense and bathed, and opened the ancestral hall.
Mr. Yan, Mr. Mu and several other teachers have been very respectful and respectful to Wang Shu since the floods in Jiangnan. If it weren't for Wang Shu's background not being prominent enough, he really wished that Wang Shu was the main mother. The three gentlemen originally saw Wang Shu's face, and all pushed the work in their hands and rushed over to witness, but when they saw the people fighting like this, their hearts suddenly chuckled.
Although they are men, they are all learned and learned people with life experience. Looking at Wang Shu's face, this rare style, I can't help but think about it in my heart. They patiently witnessed the whole process of bringing Wang Xuanzhi to Liu's name.
When everything was over, he couldn't help but block the lark under the cloister, and asked sideways.
Wang Shu's belly has been stable for almost three months. It's not in the way to say it.
Several old people saw the lark nodding, and their eyes moistened for a moment.
“…… How many months? Mr. Mu's hands holding the fan were a little trembling, God knows how many years these people below them have been looking forward to the master having an heir. General Han's great-grandson, who was not looking forward to his death, can be regarded as pregnant.
"Just three months old." The lark naturally knew their excitement, and the subordinates who were originally from the prince's mansion understood this excitement.
Mr. Mu cried with joy: "Okay, good! ”
Three good times in a row, they couldn't wait to immediately burn incense for General Han and tell him about this great thing.
"Be sure to take good care of your wife." Mr. Mu trembled his lips and instructed repeatedly, "Don't make a mistake." ”
I have to say that Wang Shu's pregnancy fed a reassuring pill to the group of people below Xiao Yanxing who followed him from birth to death. Their hearts that have been hanging for many years can be regarded as settled: "With children, people's hearts below will be stable." ”
Wang Shu didn't know the many emotions of the people below, and she was busy with the registration of her name, so she cultivated in the Wang family with peace of mind. During this time, she seemed to be unable to leave the door, but in fact, she had been staring at the front line and Xiao Zhai.
It was also recently that she suddenly discovered something.
- Someone is secretly adding something to Hana's tonic.
Although Wang Shu doesn't like this babbling Hua so much, she also knows that Hua will never have an accident in a short time. Xiao Yanxing and Xiao Zhai have been under surveillance, and if this new housewife dies suddenly, it will cause more trouble than if she is so sick. The people of the Wang family stared at the medical hall that added things to the Hua family's tonic, thinking about how to remind the Hua family of this matter quietly.
"Master, the master's subordinates are very strict with their own medicine. Otherwise, I still asked Mama Yuan about this? ”
It's just that Wang Shu is now outside, and she can't come out when she is idle. What exactly is added to Hua's medicine in the medical hall, you have to ask someone to find out before you can open your mouth.
Wang Shu thought for a long time and nodded: "Hmm." ”
Chapter 97
Someone added ingredients to the tonic that Hua often took, and Mama Yuan had known about it for a long time. However, the group of subordinates of the Hua family are like thieves every day, guarding everyone in the house. Even Mama Yuan hinted several times, they were all vigilant and didn't believe it.
Mama Yuan tried to warn these people, but these people always treated Mama Yuan as if they were wicked, and they listened well in front of them, and what should they do when they turn around.
When the people from the royal mansion came to remind her, Mama Yuan also showed a bit of a headache: "She looks at everyone now as if she wants to harm her." After standing in her room for a while, I was nervous. The slave could only pretend to ignore it, and secretly ordered someone to secretly change her medicine. ”
Hua didn't believe in Mama Yuan, which was unexpected and expected.
This Hua family, Wang Shu doesn't have much to do with her. Most of the time, it was the Hua family who unilaterally troubled Wang Shu. But these conflicts also made Wang Shu see some of Hua's temperament. It's not too smart, but it's very conceited.
That kind of equal contempt for everyone is her smartest conceit in the whole world. It is true that he can't listen to the advice of others.
But since Mama Yuan is staring, Wang Shu can also rest assured.
Mama Yuan knows the seriousness of the problem, and she will not let people disturb Xiao Yanxing's backyard. She took good care of these ladies in the back house of Xiao's house. Wang Shu broke away from the Xiao Mansion alone and lived outside, but Yuan Mama was the most worried.
"Nothing." Although Wang Shu can go out and walk around now, but the weather is too hot, and she rarely goes out, "I have someone around me to protect her."
Mama Yuan had already sent a news report about Wang Shu's pregnancy to the northwest border, and Xiao Yanxing would send someone to protect Wang Shu properly.
At this time, she glanced at Wang Shu's stomach with soft eyes, and it was only three months before it was obvious. But a glance is enough to reassure the old men: "What is lacking on the master's side?" It's hot, and it's not easy. Some time ago, I heard Mama Jiang say that the master is bitter in summer, but now it's better? The cook who sent it can cook to the master's taste? ”
"It's all fine, don't worry."
What can Wang Shu lack here? Not to mention that the Wang family is a businessman, she has no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas of Tiannan and Haibei. When Xiao Yanxing came to her again, he was close to her for everything, and he got any fresh objects from outside, and the first one to be sent was the Wang family.
Waving his hand, Wang Shu sat down on the ground with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't have anything important here in the Wang family." ”
No one knows how to take care of themselves better than themselves.
"Before the master came back, I didn't think I would go back to Xiao's house to live. There's still a lot of trouble over there. ”
Wang Shu has not returned to Xiao's house for three months. The housewife couldn't say anything, and the subordinates also helped to cover up. In the concubine room of a normal family, no one can have Wang Shu so outrageous. However, Wang Shu's situation is indeed different. For some special reasons, although everyone in the house knows that Wang Shu is Xiao Yanxing's concubine, in fact, externally, there is no such person as Wang Shu among Xiao Yanxing's concubines.
Xiao Yanxing hid Wang Shu's existence. In other words, he used some methods to hide the relationship with the Wang family. As long as Mama Yuan controls the mouths of the people in the back house, Wang Jiaming still has nothing to do with Xiao Yanxing on his face.
"Slave and maid province, don't worry."
Now that she can go out, the first thing Wang Shu does when she goes out is naturally to see her baby test field.
Although the later emasculation bagging and cross-pollination have passed, the follow-up tasks are easier. However, the more you get to the middle and late stages, the more you need to pay attention to the impact of pests, diseases and weather on yield. This year is the first year of her test after she was reborn, so she naturally has to be careful in everything. In academic matters, Wang Shu does not allow half a point of slackness and sloppiness, which is the style of doing things that she has carried out to the end in her two lives combined.
Although Mama Yuan didn't know what she was busy with in the rice field, she also knew where to find her best. Basically, Wang Zhai can't find Wang Shu's person, she must be in the experimental field.
The two sat under the pergola, and Mama Yuan sat for less than a while before she could go back.
When the two were talking, what they didn't know was that some people thought they were smart, and the gods and Buddhas couldn't save her life. For example, Hua's.
Mama Yuan secretly changed her medicine in private to protect her life. But before Hua asked Mama Yuan for the reason, she arbitrarily determined that Mama Yuan was secretly asking for her life. Because of Xiao Yanxing's warning to her in the back mountain, Hua even thought more. She decided that Mama Yuan was instructed by Xiao Yanxing to harm her, so she quietly changed the medicine back.
Mama Yuan didn't stay in the Wang family for long before returning to the Xiao Mansion. Knowing that Wang Shu was in good health, she was relieved. Xizizi brought a few big cold melons back, and it just happened to give a point to the female dependents in the back house.
Wang Shu's side returned to calm on a daily basis, and the Northwest Frontier side suppressed the Tatar forces, but encountered another problem.
There was a shortage of military rations, a lack of armor. Soldiers must not go to war hungry. What's more, it is easy to get sick after being injured in summer, and doctors and herbs are also in short supply. The imperial court dragged on for a month to finally finalize the grain and grass for the border, and I am afraid that it will have to be delayed for a month or two on the road. The people in the imperial court not only hesitated about military supplies, but even quarreled for half a month over who would escort the grain and grass.
The shortages and delays during this period made the situation of the Northwest Garrison very difficult.
Xiao Yanxing was originally going to return to Lin'an County in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, but the military funds of the imperial court were delayed. Han Ye and the other Han family troops could not withdraw from the battlefield for the time being, and he could only stay and take emergency measures to maintain the armaments needed for the battlefield and collect grain and grass from the local people.
However, most of the local people are poor people who have problems with food and clothing, and it is very difficult to collect grain and grass.
When the news came back to Lin'an County, it was already the end of August.
A few years ago, the Jiangnan flood, the Wang family had half emptied several granaries. This time the war is at a critical juncture, and it is related to the stability of the border, so naturally the Wang family can no longer pay for all of it. Xiao Yanxing urgently summoned the Wen family.
Not to mention how Xiao Yanxing negotiated with the Wen family, the Wen family supported most of the grain, grass and horses. Wang Shu pondered again and again, and felt that he really couldn't sit idly by. The royal family is located in the northwest, and the foundation of the main family is here. If the northwest is turbulent, it will also shake the foundation of local merchants. Since the grain, grass and horses were borne by the Wen family, Wang Shu simply supported them to the end.
So he immediately summoned the people under the Wang Family Dart Bureau to go to all parts of the country to collect materials to make armor. He also went south to collect medicinal materials for the treatment of trauma, and undertook the responsibility of escorting supplies to the northwest.
Xiao Yanxing listened to the reports of batches of materials outside, and his heart was hot in his chest.
Shu'er's girl is really annoying when it's annoying, and when it's intimate, it warms people's hearts and livers. I know what he wants to hear and I don't want to say, but I can always help in times of crisis.
"Do you have a letter with you?" He threw away his sweaty clothes and walked out from behind the screen with his hair wet and his upper body bare.
When he asked this, Mo Sui was fiddling with lunch in the house. Food is a problem due to the shortage of supplies. Even on Xiao Yanxing's dining table, there are only a few meat and one vegetarian two large pot dishes, plus three nests.
Fiddling with the dishes, Mo Sui shook his head very dryly: "No." ”
Xiao Yanxing's heart froze, he scolded something in a low voice, and let Mo Sui go out with a cold face.
The second monk Mo Suizhang was confused, but he still went out obediently.
On the side of the imperial court in the capital, the dispute has been delayed for half a month. Yang Qian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, led a group of officials to participate in the performance every day, asking for orders every day, urging the court to make a final decision as soon as possible. Don't delay the fighter because of a small mistake. The emperor was urged by these people to have a headache, and it was finally finalized. It was decided that the military aircraft Zhang Jingmiaocheng would support the northwest with a supply of materials.
In order to prevent similar incidents from happening in the delay in the arrival of disaster relief funds in Jiangnan, it is necessary to dispatch supervision officials to accompany them this time. In order to prevent officials from colluding with each other, the two ombudsmen did not deal with each other. After the joint deliberation of the six departments, two people were selected to accompany them: one was Lu Zhi, the imperial historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the other was Song Ren, the squire of the military department.
When the group hurried to the northwest, the situation on Xiao Yanxing's side stabilized early.
I have to say that the map given by Wang Shu has played a great role.
The clear topography, as well as the meteorological climate that may be encountered in this landform, combined with the development of a complete combat strategy, greatly exerts the home advantage. Xiao Yanxing personally led the troops, assisted by Han Ye, and achieved several guerrilla wars in which fewer won more. The Tatars suffered heavy losses after being trapped in ambushes several times. At the same time, the grain and grass were burned, and Han Jiajun was haunted like ghosts, which had already scared them out.
Now the Qiang and other foreign tribes have long been unable to support and retreat, and the Tatar soldiers are still struggling to support with a vicious spirit. But there are still a month or two to go before this fast-paced battle comes to an end.
The capital received good news reports one after another, and the court was naturally full of praise. The praise is naturally not for Huang Qiuyu, who guarded the northwest, but for the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, and the heavens blessed Daqing.
After winning the battle, the emperor was happy and ordered a banquet to celebrate.
The treasury could not allocate silver taels when supporting the northwest, but it was able to allocate silver taels at the banquet. Not to mention the two ways of doing this thing stung some people's hearts, the emperor was happy, and he wanted the grounded prince Xiao Chenghuan to come.
Due to the failure of the Jiangnan flood relief, Xiao Chenghuan has been banned for half a year.
The emperor hadn't seen the crown prince for a long time, so naturally he missed it. When the incident happened, it was naturally difficult for others to persuade them when they were angry. But a few months have passed, and the prince's confinement is about to expire. A good day for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a good thing to catch up with the great victory at the Northwest Border Pass. Qin Liansheng will persuade those who have stitches and needles.
The emperor originally favored Xiao Chenghuan, and Qin Liansheng put a mouth in his ear every day, which always made the emperor soften.
Sure enough, the emperor finally relented when he mentioned it again on this day. But he himself wants to be exempted from Xiao Chenghuan's punishment, but he can't beat himself in the mouth. These things have to be said by those below. The people below persuaded a lot, and the emperor was able to agree to this matter.
After the congratulatory speech at the banquet, after three rounds of wine, someone immediately mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the emperor meant, and this is to take the opportunity to release the prince. But the mistake made by the prince is not a small mistake, and the lives of thousands of people are at stake. He was only fined for half a year's confinement, and if this was to be waived, it would be too worthless for human life. Some officials from Jiangnan were reluctant to accept this remark, and some even set their eyes on Cheng Mingsi.
The leader sang and sang with emotion, and was stunned because no one took over.
In the lively hall of Xingqing Palace, it was quiet for a while. Someone's chopsticks fell and touched the dishes, making a soft popping sound. There was an embarrassment in the air.
The emperor's face turned pale, and he immediately got up and brushed his sleeves away. Qin Liansheng shook off the dust and hurriedly chased after him. However, before leaving, he glanced at Cheng Mingsi, who was sitting behind the desk and drinking with a wooden face, and his face was gloomy.
Waiting for the person to leave, Cheng Mingsi slowly raised his eyes and looked at the night when the figure disappeared.
The emperor was furious, and the others dared to continue drinking and having fun, and no matter how good the banquet was, it was cold. Some officials also rested their interest and bluntly said that they were too drunk to drink, and retired early. When one person goes, the others will naturally follow.
After a while, the lively banquet was deserted.
Gu Fei held a glass of wine and walked in front of Cheng Mingsi at some point. He was previously disgusted by many high-ranking officials because of his proposal to donate. From the original multi-party solicitation, no one cares. Gu Fei didn't care much about what he did every day. At this time, dressed in a red official robe, he stood in front of Cheng Mingsi's desk with a long body, and respectfully toasted Cheng Mingsi: "Lord Cheng, the lower officials respect you." ”
Cheng Mingsi raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't refuse the young man, and raised his glass to drink with him.
Gu Fei bent the corners of his eyes, raised his head and drank a cup.
The emperor left the Xingqing Palace angrily, turned his head and rushed to the Zhongcui Palace. Qin Liansheng ran behind his ass in small steps, although the emperor was not broad-minded, his appearance was unique. If Xiao Yanxing's beauty comes from his mother Han Lingsu, then the superior bone appearance comes from the emperor. The emperor took a step forward with long legs, and Qin Liansheng had to run two steps to keep up.
The Emperor walked and stopped. Qin Liansheng almost didn't brake and crashed, and hurriedly bent down to relieve the momentum.
"How much benefit did the prince's gang give you?"
Qin Liansheng just wanted to open his mouth to plead guilty, but he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat by the emperor's words.
At that moment, his knees weakened, and he fell to his knees.
can fight his way out of the encirclement and finally ascend to the throne from a group of princes, the emperor is naturally not stupid. Qin Liansheng mentioned the prince in his ear like this, if there was no cat in it, he would not believe it. However, the emperor himself favors Xiao Chenghuan, and Qin Liansheng's persuasion is when he thinks in his heart, so he will turn a blind eye.
However, at this time, he was angry, and he had nowhere to go, so he turned his head and scolded Qin Liansheng angrily.
Qin Liansheng knelt on the ground with a pale face, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
