After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 3 Conflict between husband and wife (revised)

Although Haitang was pretending to sleep, she knew the conflict between Haixi Ya and Ma family.

The Haijia convoy arrived at its destination, Suzhou City, but was stuck outside the city for three days. They were unable to enter the city. They had to stay in the carriage for food and accommodation. Even their two children were sick and couldn't see a doctor for medicine. They could only count on Xie Wenzai. My cousin is a half-assed doctor who has taught himself medicine.Mrs. Ma has long been holding back her anger, and she can't help but vent it out when she sees her husband.

Hai Xiya had no choice but to endure his wife's complaints and anger silently.He also wanted to go to the city as soon as possible to let his child see a doctor, but an enemy was guarding the city gate, so he did not dare to act rashly.

The immigrants from Guazhou should have been able to enter the city smoothly three days ago, but General Sun Yonglu in Suzhou City claimed to have received a tip that there were Hu spies among this group of immigrants from Guazhou, so he guarded the city gate. He strictly ordered everyone entering the city to be reviewed by him personally, and he could only release them if he thought there were no problems.So this group of immigrants, which totaled several thousand people, along with a large number of sheep, horses, camels and carriages, were blocked in front of the gate of Suzhou City.Three days later, less than [-]% of the people entered the city.

The immigrants complained, and the officials and military generals in Suzhou City also felt that it was outrageous, but they could not stop Sun Yonglu.He has a strong background and strong backing, and he has the support of the imperial concubine and the elder. He said that he would investigate strictly, who can say no?
The problem is that he seems to have no idea about the so-called Hu spies, and just stares at the immigrants with foreign looks.The northwestern part of Da Chu has long been a place where many ethnic groups have mixed and married, and there are countless Hu people or mixed-race Han people with Hu people's ancestry.Even though the Hu Khan King is now very ambitious and always sends troops to invade the borders of Dachu, there are still many Hu people who want to live in peace.The people of Da Chu who had lived in the northwest for a long time knew this and were not hostile to the Hu people around them because of the war. This made General Sun Yonglu's actions unreasonable.

When the Hai family lived in Guazhou, they also hired maids and craftsmen, but almost all of them were dismissed before leaving, leaving only one golden fruit. It was because she was proficient in grape and fruit cultivation techniques that Hai Xiya thought she would be of great use. for the sake of.Compared with other families that retained a large number of Hu craftsmen or beauties, the Hai family was relatively easy to get by.Haixiya had been an official in Suzhou for many years and had many old memories in the city.If he relied on his old identity and connections, he would be able to enter the city smoothly without having to wait at all.

However, he did not do this. Instead, he honestly led his whole family to queue outside the city gate for several days, not because he was worried about Jin Guo, a maid with Hu people's blood, but because there was a bigger secret in his motorcade.

Haixiya's cousin Xie Wenzai and his two friends Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian were all exiled to the northwest border because of the persecution of the Sun Ge clan.Xie Wenzai even had a grudge against Sun Yonglu when he was young.Although the three of them have long been pardoned by the emperor's decree, the Sun family is still at its peak in the court. Sun Yonglu has powerful people in Suzhou City. If he recognizes Xie Wenzai and the other three and finds an excuse to harm him, Haixi Ya Totally at a loss.No matter how many border guards he knew, they couldn't match the strong backing behind Sun Yonglu.

Hai Xiya has protected his cousin for 30 years. He cannot let his cousin be harmed by his enemies after regaining his freedom.He could only delay the family's entry into the city, and at the same time try to send letters to old friends in the city, asking them to help find a solution.

In fact, it was not that Mrs. Ma could not understand her husband's difficulties, but seeing her child suffering from illness, she could no longer wait any longer.

She gave her husband an ultimatum: "If you keep asking me to wait, don't blame me for making your own decisions! You can stay outside the city and take the children into the city! Anyway, I am not afraid of people named Sun."

Hai Xiya smiled bitterly: "Which family would go out of their way to separate? Wouldn't it make you more suspicious? I'm afraid that Sun Yonglu will dig out the details of our family if he gets to the bottom of it."

Ma choked up and said, "Our family has done nothing wrong, so what are we afraid of!"

Having said that, Mrs. Ma is a soft-hearted person after all, and it is impossible to really cheat her own family, so she had to reluctantly say: "I just reminded you, Tangtang, I asked Chang'an to ask someone to go to the city to get medicine for Xiao Shitou. Follow the recipe prescribed by cousin Xie. This recipe can cure Tangtang and also the little stone. If you had thought of this earlier, you wouldn’t have had to worry for two days in vain!"

Hai Changan's expression relaxed: "Ah... I didn't expect this. It's all my fault." He touched his granddaughter's face lovingly, "What a good child, it's hard for her to be so smart at such a young age... "

"Of course!" Madam Ma snorted coldly, "How can your granddaughter be so stupid?!" She was temporarily able to deal with her grandson's condition, but she still had some things to say in her heart, "Master, I know you are afraid of thanking your cousin. If something happens, you will watch the children suffer and refuse to ask cousin Xie to take any risks. Well, I don’t blame cousin Xie, but Xiao Shitou’s illness cannot be delayed any longer. If something happens, who will you deserve?! "

Madam Ma complained and lifted the curtain to get out of the car, but was stunned.Xie Wenzai arrived at some unknown time and stood outside the carriage. He probably heard the couple's quarrel and was now looking at her with guilt-filled eyes.

Ma was a little embarrassed.She got out of the car, folded her hands, and turned away uncomfortably: "Thank you, cousin. I don't blame you, I'm just worried about the child."

Xie Wenzai bowed deeply to her: "Cousin, let me... give Tangtang an injection. Although it is more effective than taking medicine, it can make the child more comfortable."

Ma became even more uncomfortable: "Then...thank you for your hard work, cousin." She looked back at her husband and said, "Go and look at the little rocks." She hurried away.

Xie Wenzai got into the car and sat across from Haitang with his cousin Hai Xiya. Both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

Haitang was even more uncomfortable, but she could only continue to pretend to be asleep, even pretending to be breathing evenly.It's a pity that the two elders are preoccupied and have no time to appreciate her wonderful skill of pretending to sleep.

Hai Xiya comforted Xie Wenzai in a low voice: "Your cousin has no other intentions, so don't worry too much."

Xie Wenzai smiled bitterly: "Of course I know what my cousin means. But her worries are reasonable. Haitang's serious illness has damaged her vitality, and she needs to find a stable place to recuperate as soon as possible. Xiao Shitou's fever is not going away, even if she is left in care. After I get the medicine and come back, there is no guarantee that the prescription I prescribed will be effective. The children have suffered a lot because of me. If it continues to be delayed, how will I live if they have no good or bad luck?"

He lowered his head and begged Hai Xiya: "Cousin, let's go into the city! Sun Yonglu hasn't seen me, Lao Cao, and Lao Lu in 30 years, so he may not be able to recognize us."

"We have to register our household registration when we enter the city. He doesn't recognize your faces or remember your names." Hai Xiya whispered, "We have survived for 30 years, how can we fall short at this time? You don't need to say anymore. "He didn't wait for Xie Wenzai to speak again, then raised the curtain and got out of the car.

Xie Wenzai sighed. He took out the needle bag and prepared to give Haitang acupuncture. He lowered his head and found that Haitang's eyes had opened wide and she was looking at him.

He couldn't help but be stunned: "Tangtang? When did you wake up?" Did you hear everyone?
Haitang sat up and said, "I never fell asleep, so I lied to grandma. If I didn't sleep, she would keep complaining about grandpa. Later, grandpa came and they quarreled, and I didn't dare to open my eyes."

Xie Wenzai understood, smiled and touched Haitang's little head: "You little clever guy! Lie down quickly, my cousin will give you a few injections, and you won't feel so uncomfortable."

Haitang asked him: "Cousin, grandpa refuses to go to the city, is he afraid of your old enemy? That old enemy hasn't come to you for 30 years, how do you know that he will remember you and refuse to let you go? ?”
