Dingyuan Town.

The winter sun gradually diffused over the treetops and sprinkled down softly. There was a little warm color in the surrounding area. People were coming and going on the street, which was very lively.

The town has not experienced the washing of war, and it is peaceful and peaceful.

In the Xiao family's old house, there was a silence.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry too much. The empress said that Mr. Xiao has done a great job in fighting against the enemy with his family, but his family is displaced, so I can't bear it. Therefore, I want to take his child to live in the palace for a few days as a show of gratitude. Heaven's grace is mighty." Qin Sanlang saw Xiao Jingzhi and Yang's faces full of vigilance, smiled, stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "Anyway, I have fellowship with the child's mother, and we used to know each other well, so There is absolutely no falsehood in the statement.”

"Master Qin, it's not that we don't believe you, but this child will have to stay in the palace for a few days before he can come back?" Mrs. Yang held the child tightly in her arms and frowned, "My child is still so young, and the capital is so far away. Besides, it’s almost New Year’s Eve. If I go back and forth, I’m afraid the child won’t be able to bear it. Can you tell the empress, we understand the empress’s wishes. Let’s make a decision after my daughter-in-law comes back!”

Even if it is meritorious in fighting the enemy, there is no reason to want other people's children....

Holding the child in her arms, Yang turned around and went back to the house.

Xiao Yun and Shunzi leaned on the edge of the kang, silent.

Shun Ziniang is quietly doing needlework on the kang, after all, this is a family matter, and she can't get in the way....

Qin Sanlang couldn't help frowning slightly, turned his head and looked at Xiao Jingzhi calmly.

Xiao Jingzhi met his gaze.Slowly opened his mouth and said: "Zhuo Jing is right, the empress's heart, we kneel to accept, the child should not be taken to the palace, this child is afraid of being born, I am afraid it is not used to it."

"Uncle, I can't make up my mind on this matter, I just came to pick up the child under orders. I hope my uncle and aunt will forgive me!" Qin Sanlang showed a look of embarrassment, and said, "I will tell you the truth, before I left, the empress and empress had repeatedly confessed, Within ten days. Be sure to bring the child to the palace, there must be no mistakes, there is nothing I can do about it!"

As soon as the words fell, a man dressed as a general strode in from the outside, and said impatiently: "We are just following orders, and I hope you can hand over the child quickly. It's just a few days in the palace. Do you need to be so nervous? The empress is kind. Will she still harm this child?"

Then, pointing to the women behind him, he said, "Look, the Empress specially chose a wet nurse and serving maids for this child, so don't worry! People in the palace are better at taking care of children than you country people."

When Yang heard this, there were tears in her eyes, and she reached out to caress the child's chubby face.Can't help but burst into tears....

"How are you talking!" Xiao Yun walked out with his waist supported, and said loudly. "You pick up my children for no reason, so we can't refuse? Why do you pick them up just like you said?"

"Why? Just relying on the empress's order, don't you dare to resist it? How many heads do you have enough to cut off?" The general became angry all of a sudden, and said angrily, "If the empress hadn't repeatedly confessed that she would treat your family with courtesy People, why don't we talk nonsense with you?"

"What are you doing? What's wrong with us just wanting to resist the decree? Could it be that the people in your palace treat our family with respect?" Shunzi strode up to Xiao Yun's side, supported her, and said loudly, "If you have the ability, you will Are we all arrested?"

"Hey, you think I dare not!"

"That's enough, stop arguing!" Qin Sanlang hurriedly shouted, he bowed his hands to Xiao Jingzhi and said, "Uncle, the empress really wants to see the child, I hope uncle will forgive me!"

Xiao Jingzhi looked at the officers and soldiers in the yard, sighed, walked into the back room, and said to Yang Shi: "Since it is the queen's order, we dare not disobey it, let them take it away! Don't we still trust Master Qin?"

Seeing that they came prepared, he already guessed in his heart that they were here to pick up the child...

"Chengyu and Xueman don't know about this matter, we just let Linlin enter the palace like this, if we want to see the child again in the future, it will be difficult!" Yang Shi said, already crying, she hugged the child, refusing to accept it at all. Let go, so what, dear?So what if it's not a kiss, this child has become the flesh and blood of her heart, and she can't bear to let others take it away like this....

"Don't be stupid, can't you see that they have no room for negotiation, what's the use of resisting?" Xiao Jingzhi reached out and touched the child's face, and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore, let's listen to dad!" Shunzi comforted Xiao Yun while holding Xiao Yun's hand.

"They are obviously deceiving people too much!" Xiao Yun gave those people outside a look, "This is not here to pick up the child, it is clearly here to snatch the child!"

"Daughter-in-law, you can't be angry, you're pregnant!" Shun Ziniang put down her work, hurriedly got off the kang, stretched out her hand and tugged at Xiao Yun's clothes, and whispered, this daughter-in-law is good in everything except her temper A little impatient.

Xiao Yun sighed and stopped talking!

"Uncle and aunt, it's getting late, I'm about to leave!" Seeing Xiao Jingzhi's expression, Qin Sanlang hurried in, and said helplessly.

The two women who had been standing outside came in at the sound, bringing in a faint smell of makeup, one of them walked up to Mrs. Yang, and said with crooked eyes: "Old lady, don't worry, we will take good care of the young master." of!"

"Yes, we will definitely take good care of him!" Another busy echoed.

"You can take the child away, so let me enter the palace with the child!" Yang looked at Qin Sanlang, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Master Qin, let me enter the palace with the child! This child follows the child." I'm used to it, if I go to a strange place suddenly, I'm afraid I won't get used to it."

"This?" Qin Sanlang was a little embarrassed.

"Master Qin, for Xueman's sake, you should agree! After all, we are all for the good of the child!" Yang pleaded.

"Okay then!" Qin Sanlang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then auntie clean up, let's go!"

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Yang wiped away tears, handed the child to Xiao Jingzhi, and went to pack the bag.

"I see, I'd better go with you!" Xiao Jingzhi sighed, "How can I rest assured that you are alone!"

"Why not, let's go together!" Xiao Yun suggested, "There is a guide on the way."

"Well, it makes sense for uncle and aunt to be sent to the palace, you better not go!" Qin Sanlang couldn't laugh or cry.

"Big sister, you and your mother should live here with peace of mind! We'll talk about it after the New Year!" Xiao Jingzhi said in a deep voice, "We might be back soon!"

"Big sister, you're inconvenient, so it's better not to run back and forth." Yang said to Shunzi's wife while packing her clothes, "In-laws, this house will be handed over to you, and big sister will also be handed over to you and Shunzi." gone."

"Don't worry about the in-laws. I know how to take care of my own daughter-in-law and son, but you should be careful on the way." Shun Ziniang said hurriedly.

The family said goodbye.

"I don't know if your lord has any news about my family Cheng Yu or Xueman recently." In the spacious and comfortable carriage, Yang Shi was holding the child, Xiao Jingzhi leaned on the brocade couch, opened a corner of the curtain, and asked.

"Oh, put down the curtain quickly, it's windy!" Yang complained, and hurriedly covered the child's head with the quilt.

"It's not cold today!" Xiao Jingzhi said, but still put down the curtain, moved the brazier in the car to her feet, and added a few pieces of charcoal to it.

The carriage was well prepared, it seems that the Empress really wanted to see the child!

"I heard that Mrs. Xiao is negotiating peace with Beizhao recently, but I don't know the result yet." Qin Sanlang rode on the horse and walked on the side of the carriage, and said, "As for Madam! I heard that she went to Longtan Town when I passed by a few days ago. Xuanzhou has gone to find your lord, and I think you are with lord Xiao these days."

"The two of them are together, and there is a support for each other, so we can rest assured!" Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"There's nothing going on in Longtan Town, right?" Xiao Jingzhi heard that he passed by Longtan Town, so he hurriedly asked, "The folks who evacuated to the town haven't moved back yet?"

"A few days ago, when the Yueshi passed by Longtan Town, Master Xu led people to fight. Although he won, Master Xu was snatched away by the Yueshi. Now his life and death are uncertain." Qin Sanlang sighed, and said, "Although Now people in the town have formed militia groups one after another, but although they go home to work as usual during the day, they still dare not sleep at home at night, and still go back to sleep in the town. They are worried that the Yuezhi people will attack Longtan Town like last time... . . . "

Thinking of what happened last time, he still felt lingering fear. If it wasn't for her, Longtan Town would not know what would have become...

Now Daqi's main army is fighting in Xuangang Town, and Longtan Town has only a small number of troops stationed there. Although there has been no movement recently, the people in the town are still like frightened birds, panicking every day.

"A sneak attack on Longtan Town?" Yang and Xiao Jingzhi asked in unison.

"That's right!" Qin Sanlang continued, "The last time Mr. Xu led his troops to fight at the seaside, a few ships of the Yue family came ashore from the east ferry of Zhendong. Clan soldier, Madam is very famous in Longtan Town now!" As he spoke, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"You mean that Xueman led the women in the town to scare off those Yue clan soldiers?" Yang looked at the swaying blurred figure outside the car curtain in disbelief, shook her head and smiled, "How could she have the guts? "

Xiao Jingzhi was also taken aback for a moment, the third daughter-in-law usually looks weak, how can she do such a thing?

"What? You don't believe me!" Qin Sanlang smiled, and said again, "Your wife is brave and resourceful! I heard that Lu Zhixian was so frightened that he couldn't stand up, and all the men in the town went to the beach. Madam had no choice but to mobilize the women in the town, put on men's clothes and rush to the ferry, and even set fire to the reeds at the ferry, so those Yuezhi people didn't dare to come forward, so they fled!"

In the carriage, there were a few laughs suddenly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
