Chapter 248: Distress
Yiyi saw others gnawing on bones, and he wanted it too. Jing Yan gave him the two largest pieces in the bowl.
The chopsticks couldn't be clamped, so he held it with both hands and nibbled it, and even pressed it on the table to gnaw, the millet tooth was simply invincible.
Not only that, but he was also happy to share it with his good partner Bai Xiaojiu, so he gave it a piece.
God knows, how Bai Xiaojiu, who has never eaten cooked food, swallows the cooked meat given by Yiyi every day.
Because of the salt in the food, Jiang Yuqing was worried that Bai Xiaojiu would lose his hair like a cat. When the time comes, you won't be able to watch it if you become a bald tiger.
After observing it for a while, seeing that this phenomenon did not occur, Jiang Yuqing was a little relieved.
She told her son that Jiujiu eats raw meat, and it is easy to get sick if he eats too much cooked meat.
But obviously Yiyi can't understand why Jiujiu gets sick when he eats cooked meat, because he eats cooked meat.
Jiang Yuqing had no choice but to patiently explain a bunch of things to his son and said: "Look at horses and big cows, they are also animals, but they like to eat grass, right?"
What every animal eats is different. It's like you don't like to eat, eat ....... too."
There doesn't seem to be anything her son doesn't like to eat. She paused for a long time before she said, "It's like you don't like to eat raw meat and grass, right?"
The little guy accepted this powerful reason for the time being.
After eating, the rain outside had not stopped. The little guy couldn't go out to play, so Jing Yan detained his son and taught him to read.
Yiyi is very smart, don't look at the fact that he is only one and a half years old now, and he already knows more than a thousand words. It's just that I'm young and can't hold a pen steadily.
After reading a book with his father for half an hour, he began to feel sleepy. Jing Yan put him on the bed, covered him with a blanket, and let him sleep.
Yiyi beckoned to his mother: "Mother, tell a story, Monkey King." ”
"Okay, let's talk about Sun Wukong's three fights with the white bone spirit today."
"No, I've already talked about it, I want to listen to the red boy."
....... "Okay, obviously the red boy has also talked about it."
After talking for a while, Yiyi fell asleep.
Jiang Yuqing took out a bag of potato chips, sat next to Jing Yan and read a medical book, eating while reading.
Eat one for yourself and feed one to his mouth. For the things that his wife fed, Jing Yan has always been a person who comes.
Dolma's anxious voice came from outside: "Niangniang, a pregnant woman ran to our camp to ask for help.
She looked like she was about to give birth. Everyone was afraid that she was a spy and did not dare to let her in. Her maid had been begging. ”
Jiang Yuqing threw things on the table when he heard this: "Where is it, I'll take a look!" ”
As he spoke, he took a cloak and put it on his body, and followed Dolma.
This is a typical peacock woman, looking at the color of her skin and the gold jewelry all over her body, this should be a high-class woman.
She sat on the ground, soaking wet and divinely agony. Her abdomen was high and high, and blood was running down her thighs.
One of the two maids supported her, and the other knelt on the ground, begging the soldiers standing guard.
Although the soldiers couldn't bear it, they didn't have the order to go up, and they didn't dare to let people in easily.
Seeing Jiang Yuqing coming, he was very relieved and said, "Niangniang, this woman seems to be about to give birth." ”
Jiang Yuqing squatted down to check the woman, and sure enough, she was about to give birth, so she hurriedly said, "Hurry up, bring a deputy stretcher and carry the person in." ”
Dolma said, "Mother, I live alone, so carry it to my tent!" ”
"Good!"
The soldiers soon brought the stretcher, and the pregnant woman's maid saw it and knew that their master was saved, so she immediately kowtowed to Jiang Yuqing to express her gratitude.
The three of them were all drenched in the rain, and as soon as they entered the tent, Jiang Yuqing immediately took a few sets of his former clothes and asked them to make do with them first.
Especially for mothers, if they are infected with wind and cold at this time, it is not a joke.
When the mother took off her clothes, Jiang Yuqing gave her a detailed examination and found that the woman's uterine opening had opened six fingers.
She gritted her teeth and persevered until now, without snorting, this perseverance is really admirable.
Within an hour of entering the tent, the child fell to the ground, and he was a very healthy boy.
When Jiang Yuqing took care of the child, wrapped it in a soft quilt and put it next to the woman's pillow, the woman's tears rolled down.
She hugged the child and looked at Jiang Yuqing's eyes full of gratitude. The mouth kept talking.
Although she didn't understand it, she could roughly guess that it meant gratitude.
Her two maids also knelt down and kissed Jiang Yuqing's shoes to express their gratitude.
The mother had just given birth and needed nutrition, but it was still raining outside, and the tent on the other side of the stove was still being built, so there was no way to start the fire immediately.
Jiang Yuqing had no choice but to go back and make a bowl of milk for the mother. After drinking the milk, the mother soon fell into a deep sleep.
Her body is plump, whether it is Jiang Yuqing or Zhuoma's clothes, she can't wear them.
Jiang Yuqing only brought a piece of silk to her maids, and asked them to temporarily sew a dress for her to wear.
Dolma's tent was let out, and there was no place to live. The soldiers rebuilt one for her next to the original tent.
By mid-afternoon, the rain had finally stopped. The rain shelter on the other side of the stove was also built, and Jiang Yuqing asked the gang to send stewed chicken soup.
Maternity needs nutrition.
She didn't know if the peacock had confinement after giving birth.
But either way, it's always good to take care of it a little more delicately. She specially explained that she didn't need to give chopsticks, just put a spoon.
In the evening, the mother woke up. When I saw the hot chicken soup and snow-white rice, I burst into tears and expressed my gratitude again.
She asked the maids to bring her wet clothes, took out a half-palm-sized, gold-minted token from it, and presented it to Jiang Yuqing with both hands.
Jiang Yuqing took it and looked at it, the patterns carved on it were very exquisite, full of exotic customs.
After that, she gestured to Jiang Yuqing and made a writing motion.
Jiang Yuqing understood that he wanted to write a letter to his family. So he turned around and went out and got her paper and charcoal.
Jiang Yuqing took a pen and drew a few smooth lines on the paper, and the mother immediately understood how to use it.
She seemed to have never seen such a beautiful paper and pen, so she was amazed.
Then she took a pen and wrote a long list of bizarre characters on the paper, which looked somewhat like Tibetan characters, but not exactly.
Dolma said she couldn't read at all. After writing, the mother put on her own seal.
With this seal, Jiang Yuqing can be sure that she is not an ordinary woman.
After writing the letter, she drew a horse on another piece of paper, drew a pattern of sending the letter, and then pointed to one of her maids.
Meaning, she wanted to send her maid back to deliver the letter.
Jiang Yuqing was a little wary and did not agree immediately, under the pretext that she needed to ask someone who could call the shots.
For the sake of safety, after leaving the tent, Jiang Yuqing took the letter to Dorjee and Jing Yan to read.
Dorjee said he only recognized it as the native Brahmi script, but he didn't know exactly what it was written.
Jing Yan said that looking at the system of seals, it should be the emblem of a small kingdom in the Peacock Kingdom. Probably a female member of the royal family.
The current Peacock Country is a unified country on the surface. In fact, it was a united kingdom, similar to the former vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty.
This means that all the small kingdoms are under the orders of the Peacock King, and in fact they are in their own hands.
Moreover, compared to the vassal states of the Central Plains Dynasty, the actual control of these small kingdoms by the Mauryan royal family was much worse.
Each small country has a different language, weights and measures, and even a different system of coins.
And the soldiers of the Peacock Kingdom are all recruited from various unwilling kingdoms, and they have no centripetal force and cohesion at all, let alone any sense of national honor, that is a fart.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why the soldiers of the Peacock Country disperse as soon as they are beaten and their combat effectiveness is rubbish.
Jing Yan said: "Give her a horse, and send two more people to escort her back to report the news." ”
Jiang Yuqing then sent one of the maids who was promising and nameless, protecting the mother, back to report the news.
It's just two days.
The mother was so strong that the next day she was able to get out of bed and walk around the tent with the baby in her arms.
Perhaps in order to avoid suspicion, except for going to the toilet, the master and servant generally do not go out of the tent the rest of the time.
This shows that she is a very intelligent woman.
In the meantime, Jiang Yuqing took Yiyi on a trip. This noble lady showed a lot of love for Yiyi, and even held her child to Yiyi.
Yiyi is a very loving child, and has no resistance to cute little babies.
She even leaned down and kissed the baby on the forehead, and the woman rejoiced even more.
The next day, Youwei and Nameless finally returned. They were followed by a lavish procession of chariots and horses.
There was also an elephant cart among them. Looking at this pomp, it really doesn't seem to be simple.
Youwei and Nameless Tongjingyan and Jiang Yuqing saluted, and the people in the elephant car also got down and bowed deeply to them.
In a very blunt Bactrian language, he said: "Karobira of the Kingdom of Kaling Coffee, I have seen the respected Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, long live His Majesty, and the Empress Mother is a thousand years old." ”
"Do you speak Bactrian language?" Both husband and wife were a little surprised, and it couldn't have been better. Save everyone from worrying about how to communicate.
Karobira nodded and said, "Yes." In the past, I went to your Great Xia twice with a caravan, and went to Fuzhou and several cities.
You Great Xia is really a good place, rich and powerful. ”
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Karobira said, "I am sincere. I heard that you saved my queen, and I am grateful. Where is my queen? ”
"Right in our big camp. Come with us, King! Jiang Yuqing said and made a gesture of please, and led Karovira inside.
When the mother heard the movement, she ran out of the tent and immediately burst into tears when she saw her husband for the first time.
Karobira hugged his lost wife, and she was also so excited that she couldn't help herself, and her eyes were red.
It can be seen that he dotes on his wife very much.
Despite the language barrier, it can still be seen from the look in his eyes whether a husband loves his wife or not.
Such a scene is not suitable for outsiders to be present, so Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing left with people, leaving the space for the king and his wife.
