Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 64

Pei Xuan raised his eyes to look at Fan Wenchao, and seeing that he had realized something, he flipped through the book without explaining.

Fan Wenchao couldn't bear his character of not saying a word for a long time. Seeing him flipping through the book, he couldn't help asking: "Hey, how is Yanxiu in southern Xinjiang? Has this battle been won?"

After turning a page, Pei Xuan picked up a glass of water, took a sip slowly, and replied: "[-] elite soldiers from the Xishan Camp, [-] from the Frontier Battalion, and [-] under Li Feng at the border, more than enough to deal with a Southern Border. Winning is sure to win, it depends on whether the win is beautiful or not."

After Fan Wenchao thought about it, he said:

"According to what you said, whoever fights this battle will win, so why is it Yan Xiu's turn? Couldn't it have been ordered by the Holy Majesty in private?"

"Your Majesty already had a good impression of Yan Xiu. He is capable of writing and martial arts. He is a talent. However, the Taishi has been too powerful in the court these years. The only courtiers who dare to fight against the Taishi's party are Yan Xiu. It's all grass on the wall, and it's triggered by the situation. If the war in southern Xinjiang started two years earlier, there would be no jumps in southern Xinjiang in the past two years, but the leader of the Taishi party insisted on dragging the battle to this point, just to make up for it Come up, Taishi and Yanxiu were at loggerheads, and Yanxiu was in trouble again at this time. The Miao people's village was a prisoner camp in southern Xinjiang. Everyone knew that they dared to make trouble in the capital and set fire to the mansion of a first-rank official of the imperial court, which showed their arrogance , Southern Xinjiang is not peaceful, why is the world peaceful? This fire undoubtedly fueled the emperor's anger towards Southern Xinjiang, so he personally ordered the victim to fight, saying that Xiu's home was burned, and he was almost assassinated. Looking at the entire court , is there anyone more suitable to play than him?"

After Pei Xuan's explanation, Fan Wenchao was enlightened and understood the mystery. He couldn't help being suspicious again, and said:
"You brought people to pay for the Miao people's village. You left clues on purpose to make those Miao people mistakenly believe that Changning Hou Yanxiu was the one who took the lead in suppressing the village. That's why those rebels went to burn Yanxiu's family to vent their anger. On the surface, you He was carrying out the second prince's order, but secretly he helped Yan Xiu a lot. Although the Changning Hou's mansion was burned, the royal family was already supervising the construction of a new house. Although Changning Hou was assassinated twice, except for some skin trauma, There are no fatal wounds, and you let him go on purpose twice...you...why did you do this? Couldn't it be for 'this'? "

Fan Wenchao pointed to the notebook in Pei Xuan's hand. The "this" in the words naturally referred to Yan Zhaohua, but when this question was asked, even he himself thought it was ridiculous. Sure enough, Pei Xuan sneered at him. He didn't even have the interest in answering, but thinking about it, how could Pei Xuan make such a big deal and such a big deal for a young girl?The reason why he had this doubt was because his behavior today was too strange, he left without saying a word, and then came back and took a notebook of the words of a little girl, and read it with relish... It is really not his usual style.

"Then come back this time, the matter between Yan Xiu and Tan Cheng is almost over, right? Tan Cheng's willingness to come forward to save Yan Xiu and come back, can be said to mean that the two have released their alliance, the prime minister and Duke Ding There is no need for the government to be entangled in this matter anymore."

Fan Wenchao thought that Yan Xiu and Tan Cheng still had a lawsuit to fight, but Yan Xiu had reconciled with Tan Cheng before leading the troops. That is to say, in this matter, although the people behind the two had different ideas, But there was no estrangement between the two parties involved. This is equivalent to condensing the two forces into one. In this way, both will be prosperous, and the other will be damaged. The courtiers have to think twice before admonishing either party for its fault.

After figuring this out, Fan Wenchao can figure it out on his own without Pei Xuan answering, and then said:

"However, this kind of thing that involves a lot of things, no matter how violent the process is and how big the people involved are, in the end it's just catching an insignificant person to make an example..."

Although Pei Xuan still didn't speak, when he was serving the teacup, he glanced at Fan Wenchao, who had guessed the crux of the problem, and gave him a reply. Fan Wenchao smiled helplessly and shook his head. He was actually more serious than the official document, he shook his head helplessly and ignored him.

After Yan Zhaohua's words were taken away by Pei Xuan, she was not in a good mood all day, and someone came to comfort her, telling her not to be too sad, and pay attention to her body, thinking that she was sad for Mrs. Xie, Yan Zhaohua No matter what Huaneng said, he had to thank the other party for his kindness.

When Geng Shi left at night, he kept holding onto Yan Zhaohua's hand and said a lot of caring words to her. Yan Zhaohua just pretended not to understand what she meant, and listened to whatever she said, and waited until he sent her away As a guest, Yan Zhaoning came to Yan Zhaohua's side and said:

"Sister, why is that mighty Mrs. Marquis so enthusiastic about you?"

Yan Zhaohua glanced at her hand that was wrapping around his arm, and said calmly, "Maybe he thinks I'm pitiful."

Even if Geng really had something on his mind, Yan Zhaohua would not tell Yan Zhaoning, and it was not just looking for trouble, seeing that Yan Zhaoning could not escape Yan Zhaohua's words, he stopped asking. On the way back, Aunt Gong's side The maid Cuixi came to look for Yan Zhaoning, saying that Aunt Gong had several wives waiting to see Miss Ning, Yan Zhaohua turned to ask Yan Zhaohua, why would Yan Zhaohua stop her from going, Yan Zhaoning told her After saluting, he followed Cuixi to Aunt Gong's residence.

Aunt Gong is the wife of the sixth rank imperial order, plus she is sociable, although she is an aunt, she has seen many scenes over the years, some of which are not important private occasions, and the Duke has brought her to attend twice , Aunt Gong has the ability to make balm by hand. It is said that it is very good for beauty. Some wives admire her craftsmanship. As time goes by, some people gradually forget that she is a concubine and start to associate with her. .

Now Yan Zhaoning no longer has the self-willedness she had when she first entered the mansion, she behaved humbly and naturally in her dealings with others, and with the death of Mrs. Xie, the changes in her would not appear abrupt to the outside world. When I grew up, I changed my mind.Coupled with Aunt Gong being her military advisor and pusher behind her back, Yan Zhaoning has earned a lot of sympathetic looks these days.

Yan Zhaohua returned to Ting Yuxuan, and Ranxiang told her that Mrs. Gu had brought her some pastries. Yan Zhaohua remembered that he had barely eaten at noon, and remembered Pei Xuan's hideous face. Suppressing his anger, he opened the food box and took a piece of peach blossom cake. This is Gu's specialty pastry. It tastes sweet but not greasy. I felt a little unwell, so I went back to rest, and I don't know if I feel better now.

Ask Ranxiang to take down the pastry, and then ask Ranxiang to return the food box with her to Gu Shi, and take a look at her by the way.

Gu's body has been around for more than five months, and she is showing signs of pregnancy. Yan Zhaohua knows that she is carrying a boy, but if she remembers correctly, this boy is not very healthy. What is the specific situation? Zhaohua didn't pay much attention in her last life. She only knew that after the child was born, she seldom appeared in front of people. It can be said that she almost never appeared. , that is, his brain is not very bright, so he has to be kept in the yard to take care of him.And Gu's body seemed to be damaged because of having this child back then, and since then, his body has been in poor health.

Yan Zhaohua likes Gu's aunt very much, so naturally she doesn't want anything to happen to her, but she doesn't know what happened to Gu's mother and son in the Xie family in the last life, so she can only pay more attention to it, but Qi can't. Let Gu feel that something is wrong, after all, she can't directly say why.

After arriving at Xingshuangyuan, the gatekeeper's mother-in-law led Yan Zhaohua in. When she first arrived at the gate, someone had already come in to pass on Gu's message. Naturally, she would not stop her. Yan Zhaohua came all the way unimpeded. In the Dongci room where Mrs. Gu lived, Mrs. Gu was leaning on a soft couch with a big welcome pillow on her waist. There were other people sitting under the couch. They were three beautiful little women who were Xie Yuan's concubines. , Jiang, Li and Webster.

Among them, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li are about the same age, and only Mrs. Wei is quite young. Judging by his clothes, he should be Xie Yuan's newcomer to the mansion not long ago. Mrs. Gu said that she was not feeling well at night. The rules are over.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li have met Yan Zhaohua many times, and they are quite familiar with each other. Mrs. Li is Xie Yuan's favorite concubine. , Mrs. Jiang is Xie Xinyue's mother. She is straightforward. Ever since Yan Zhaohua met her that time, she has never dared to have anything against her. Fortunately, Aunt Jiang will only explode when someone says Xie Xinyue is not good. Li is still very respectful, but he doesn't talk much.

"Why are you here too? It's just a little dizzy, and it's not a big deal. You guys are all too nervous."

Gu said this to Yan Zhaohua, but it was obvious that she was very happy that Yan Zhaohua could come to see her, so she reached out to Yan Zhaohua and let her sit on the edge of the bed.

"How can I not thank you after eating aunt's food. Is aunt better?"

Mrs. Gu patted Yan Zhaohua's hand, and replied: "It's better. There was nothing wrong with it. It's just that I traveled a lot to prepare for today's banquet these two days and read too many accounts. That's why I feel a little headache. , the doctor also came to see it, and said that he was tired, and his body was a little weak." He pointed to Jiang Shi and Li Shi, and said, "You all go back too, I have nothing to take care of here, after the son comes back , whoever should go to where I will go, don’t worry about it. Let’s all go back.”

Mrs. Jiang nodded, pointed at the medicine in Mrs. Gu's bowl, and said, "Yes, Madam, don't forget to drink the medicine too, we'll go back first."

After the aunts left, Gu seemed to be relieved. Seeing her like this, Yan Zhaohua couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Seeing her hesitating to speak, Mrs. Gu said after a while: "Forget it, you don't understand these things, so bring me the medicine. Aunt Jiang has a special anti-fetal medicine. When she was pregnant with Sister Yue back then, she slipped and fell. At that time, she thought that Sister Yue would not be able to keep it, and she was bleeding. She did not expect that after drinking this kind of anti-fetal medicine, she would be healed day by day. .”
