Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 278
Zhu Mingrui chose Jiang Hong's men and horses to be very useful. Commander Sun, who commanded the army, gave Jiang Hong's orders as soon as they arrived. He didn't even say a word. As for why the inspection of grain, grass and supplies actually entered the abdomen of Beiting Commander Sun seemed to take it for granted more than Jiang Hong.

Chu Long didn't get a few useful words from his younger brother Chu Hu. First, Chu Hu didn't want to inquire about this and that for his brother. Second, he really didn't hear anything useful from Yue Niang. , Yue Niang didn't want to talk more, of course the reason why she didn't want to talk more was that she didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Hong's gourd at all, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense.Chu Long went in without knowing it, so it was natural to be cautious. After entering Beiting, Jiang Hong summoned Chu Long, Chu Hu, and shopkeeper Hao at the same time for a few days to order errands. Three or four days later, Chu Long realized that he was too cautious, and the chance of Flying Eagle Fort flying up was about to flap his wings and fly away!
Shopkeeper Hao, after being taught by his father, Shopkeeper Hao, made up his mind before he set off, and he went all out this time. The old man was right, for a family like them, those noble people in the capital, it would be a great blessing to be able to climb any of them. But they don't have a place to pick and choose!Even if you can't reach the Shou Prince this trip, at least your son can worship under the champion. The Jiang family is also one of the best high-ranking families in this dynasty, and it is not comparable to the upstarts like the Huang family. Too bad.

With such a plan, Shopkeeper Hao spared no effort in following Jiang Hong's orders. Compared with Chu Da who was blindly cautious and wanted to wait and see, even Yue Niang could see the difference.

There was nothing strange on Jiang Hong's face, but the tent at Flying Eagle Fort was getting farther and farther away from his camp. Chu Long didn't pay attention the first day, and Chu Hu didn't pay attention the next day. Chu Long faintly sensed that something was wrong. On the third day, Chu Long suddenly realized that if this continues, their Flying Eagle Fort will be thrown in the North Court by Jiang Hong in a few days.Chu Long didn't sleep all night, and waited outside Jiang Hong's tent in the middle of the next night, grabbed the errand in front of the shopkeeper Hao, and brought the elites out with all his strength.

From this day on, Jiang Hong breathed a sigh of relief. With Flying Eagle Fort and Shopkeeper Hao fighting each other, their team can at least come and go freely in Beiting.

Flying Eagle Fort and Huang's are both big merchants who have been doing business with Beiting for decades or more than ten years. After Li inquired about King Shou, Jiang Hong hurriedly ordered Commander Sun to chase after him in the direction the horse thief said. The next evening, the outpost of Feiyingbao, who was running at the front, encountered King Shou's outpost.

Hong Da stared blankly at the silver mold in Sun Liu's hand. He had sold cakes for half his life, but he had never used such an exquisite mold. Sun Liu handed him the silver mold. After boiling water for four or five times, he carefully pressed a pot of cakes out of a silver mold. Sun Liu dragged a chair and sat against the wall. Watching the cakes steaming and coming out of the pot, he hurriedly stood up and waved the newly baked cakes with his hands. I carefully looked at the pattern on the surface of the cake, and took a long breath to signal Hong Dao: "Okay, I will steam the first pot cake like this tomorrow. I, Sun Liu, owe you a great favor." !"

"Liu Ye is too polite! Raising your hand is not worthy of Liu Ye's words." Sun Liu's brows and eyes disappeared when he said a word. Sun Liu Ye is now a well-known figure in the capital. In other words, life in my pastry shop will be easier in the future.It’s true to say that fate is something that you really have to believe in. This Sun Liu was so down and out that he was hungry all day long, and he was hungry a lot, but almost never when he was full. At that time, he was the son of a rich and wealthy family. Have you ever looked at the broken and rogue?But now 30 years from east to west, this Sun Liu has become a big man who can't even climb up to him. I heard that even the governor is sitting and talking with him!
"If anything about today's matter leaks out, don't blame me for wiping out your Hong family!" Sun Liu picked up a piece of cake and threw it into his mouth. The scared Ji Lingling shuddered several times, Sun Liu's words were not threats, but telling the truth.

Qingzhi opened the box of chestnut cakes, carefully put out the cakes and put them in front of Li Tian, ​​just turned half of his body to pour tea, then turned back suddenly, looked down at the chestnut cakes carefully, Yinhua hurriedly came over and asked: "What's the matter?" ? The cake is dirty? Broken again?”

"No!" Qing Zhi's eyes widened as he looked at Yin Hua's words, he swallowed heavily, and subconsciously glanced around the room at the deaf-mute maids who stood there respectfully with lowered eyebrows and lowered hands, and pushed the cake to Li In front of Tian, ​​she didn't say a word, just looked at her straightly, Yin Hua tiptoed up to look at the plate of cakes, Li Tian stretched out her hand to turn the plate of chestnut cakes, stretched out her fingers, and lightly pressed them with her fingers after finishing a piece. Holding the cake, flatten the number hidden in the pattern of spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum on it with the flowers. After pressing each piece, Li Tian picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, pointed to the chestnut cake and said calmly: "It's just steamed. The cooking time is not good, if there is any major event, tell Guanshi Huang that today’s cake is not steamed well, let’s give it to someone else." Qing Zhi held his breath, agreed, took the plate out and handed it to Huang Ming.

Until noon, only Li Tian, ​​Qingzhi, and Yinhua were left in the room, and Qingzhi whispered excitedly: "Girl, you belong to us!"

"Yeah!" Li Tian answered with some absent-mindedness. Counting the days, Zhu Mingyan's due date should be around this time. Is it because the King of Jian'an is busy with Zhu Mingyan's delivery that people found clues?Or was it just a coincidence that the matter of the pastry was noticed?What is the situation in Beijing now?Li Tian looked at the somewhat gray windows in a daze. There were not many things he could do, but there was one thing, he had to try...

"Girl, we have to deliver a letter." Qing Zhi was nervous and excited at the same time, Yin Hua gave her a white look: "How to deliver? Not even a fly can fly out in this yard!"

"Yinhua is right!" Li Tian came back to his senses, took Yinhua's words and said: "There is no need to deliver the letter, since I found this cake, I will find it here sooner or later, Qing Zhi went to the kitchen to pick out two kinds of mustard vegetable."

"Miss!" Yin Hua was stunned, and Qing Zhi also became anxious: "Miss can't get sick anymore, since Fifth Master found us, maybe he will come to rescue us tonight, Miss is ill, how will we get out then? One or the other... this is not acceptable!"

"Go!" Li Tian waved his hand: "Don't worry, first, we can't come so soon, and second, this matter is more important than our going back, so go." I'm used to giving orders, and besides, their girls have never made mistakes in major matters!Qingzhi lifts the curtain and goes out, and goes to the back kitchen to order dinner.

At nightfall, Jianning County Prince's Mansion was brightly lit, Mrs. Zhou was sitting on the porch of the main courtyard, murmuring, and the rosary in her hand was spinning quickly.Zhu Mingyan began to have seizures in the afternoon, and now she had labor pains one after another, but her cervix was not dilated well, Mrs. Zhou was overwhelmed with worry, her firstborn was a ghost, and her eldest daughter just failed to pass this test, falling Both mother and child died, Ming'er was brought up by himself, said to be a granddaughter, but how is it different from his daughter?This ghost gate has to be passed!
Right next to Mrs. Zhou, Princess Liu of Dongyang County had half of her butt against the chair. From time to time, she would stand up and look around before sitting down, and then stand up and look around again. Mrs. Sun was ill and could not come, so she had to take the lead, alas. , this is fourth master's first child, it must be safe and sound, it is best to give birth to a daughter safely, she discussed with the prince before, in the future, the Ye family still has to pick a few sensible and gentle girls to send to the palace Firstly, to show joy and filial piety in front of the noble concubine, and secondly, the next generation of officials should preferably be of the blood of the Ye family, this is the way to the long-term prosperity of the family...

Concubine Liu Jun was stretching her neck and looking around, while thinking wildly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hanging flower door. Princess Liu Jun and Mrs. Zhou turned their heads to look at the hanging flower door at the same time: the fourth prince was wearing a sable cloak, striding into the starry sky. He walked through the Hanging Flower Gate, and because he walked too fast, the cloak was thrown back very high.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that it happened in the afternoon, why haven't you come out yet?" The fourth prince asked sharply facing the imperial physicians standing in the corridor, and the leading imperial physician Zheng Huang stepped forward and explained: "Go back Prince of the county, this is the first child of the princess, and it is still early since the noon start, as usual, it is common sense to give birth to 24 to [-] hours..."

"Twelve hours?" The fourth prince frowned. Seeing that he was so worried and anxious, Mrs. Zhou felt a little relieved, and a trace of relief surged up. She hurriedly stood up on the arm of the chair and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, a woman Giving birth is always like this, the first child is slow, just now my wife Wen came out and said everything is fine, Sister Ming has been healthy since she was a child, don't worry, it will be smooth, mother and child are safe!" Mrs. Zhou said the last sentence emphatically. , the fourth prince's heart is at ease, and his own heart is also at ease.Princess Liu Jun also hurriedly followed behind and said auspicious words with a smile, even comforting and flattering the fourth prince.

The impatience on the fourth prince's face eased slightly, he went down the steps, and stood in the yard with his hands behind his back, staring straight at the thick red felt curtain hanging on the upper door, his eyes lost in thought.

Tian Tian is sick again!The fourth prince only felt that his heart had been cut by thousands of knives and thousands of knives. This time he was sicker than last time. It has been three days, and he is getting worse every day!The fourth prince clenched his hands into fists and beat his forehead heavily. Ever since he took her to that other hospital, she has been sick much more than when she was well. She has never been so sick before!Could it be that he really has nothing to do with her?The fourth prince lowered his fist and stared blankly at the curtain of the upper room. How could he miss her?Both he and she are destined!It must be because of her gloomy mood, those shallow wrinkles between her brows... The fourth prince was in a state of confusion, Huang Ming said that she had been crying since the morning... No, he had to go and see her!He couldn't help seeing her!

"I have something important to do, so I will trouble the old lady here." The fourth prince walked up the steps, walked four or five steps in front of Mrs. Zhou, and entrusted him with lowered eyelids. Mrs. Zhou looked at the fourth prince in amazement. She agreed, and the fourth prince had already turned around and left.

Mrs. Zhou's back was as straight as a gun, and suddenly she stood up heavily with the crutch in her hand, walked to the door of the hanging flower, and raised her hand to ask the old family to give a few orders.
