The Young Lady of the General’s House

When the women took up their weapons and stood on the wall to fight, Shen Jin took the initiative to speak for the first time, "Move all the old people, children, and severely wounded soldiers to the general's mansion.

Shen Jin already knew that there was no Yongning Bo Mansion in the border city, and Chu Xiuyuan, who had not healed from a serious injury, was also helped to appear in the conference hall.

The battle reports were sent to the capital one by one, but no soldiers or soldiers were sent to the rescue. Even Shen Jin's letter fell to the ground, and King Rui seemed to have forgotten her daughter.

Almost all of the General’s Mansion has been evacuated. Like all the houses in the border town, everything that can be used has been moved out. Even some furniture has been split and burnt. No one cares about what rosewood or wenge wood is at this time. The pieces of wood boiled hot water together and splashed on the barbarians.

Manager Wang and they tried every means. The border city could not be breached for nearly three months, and it was not just the soldiers here.

The grain has been managed in a unified manner, and General Manager Wang did not order anyone to confiscate the grain, but everyone moved the grain from the family to the door of the General's Mansion.

Many elderly and children consciously began to save their rations. Even Shen Jin’s daily food was rationed. He started to give Shen Jin the same steamed buns with thick and thin noodles, just like the wounded, or Shen Jin refused to eat it after discovering it. It’s the same as everyone’s food.

At the beginning, Shen Jin only found it difficult to swallow, but he was so hungry that he could eat everything.

Steward Wang's right arm was broken, but it was just a rough bag. At this time, he said with a pale face, "At most another seven days, if there is no reinforcement..."

"There will be no reinforcements." I don't know when Chu Xiuyuan has matured. The boy who said that his brother will be back soon disappeared, "The emperor wants us to die."

"The general will be back." Steward Wang said.

Chu Xiuyuan couldn't help but red eyes and said, "They have planned for so long, so long... If my brother hadn't had an accident, he would have returned long ago, but there has been no news yet, I am afraid..." come out.

Shen Jin didn't know what to say, she even suspected that the emperor let her marry her is an abandoned son in itself. It can't be said that it is to contact the spies here and then collude with the barbarians... She still thinks at first. King Rui knew whether she knew, but then she felt that it didn't matter whether King Rui knew or not.

Chu Xiuyuan looked at Shen Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, there is a secret room built in the palace, you can hide in these few days."

The steward Wang also said, "The secret room is enough to support the general's return. When the barbarians attack the city, I will have a torch to burn the general mansion. Then they will not find out who is missing. The location of the vent in the secret room. Special, thick smoke will not hinder it."

"Only the elder brother knows how to open the secret room, and it can be opened from the inside. Sister-in-law will never come out unless the elder brother comes back." Chu Xiuyuan's voice was hoarse.

Shen Jin moved her lips and finally said, "Let those children hide in." It's not that she is not afraid of death or righteousness, but Shen Jin understands that if she is dead, her mother can get more benefits. If she survives, What would Yong Ningbo think when he came back? His younger brother and his subordinates stood dead till the very last moment, but Shen Jin, the nominal wife, went into hiding.

Especially her identity is embarrassing, the person who did these things...Even if Chu Xiuyuan hadn't let the family sending team into the border city at the beginning, it is hard to guarantee that it was not the news from them.

I'm afraid Yongningbo hated her a long time ago, but returned to the capital? Shen Jin is not smart, but she can see clearly where there is a place for her to stay in the capital.

The most important point is that Shen Jin is unwilling to give up hope before the last moment. If they can survive Yong Ning Bo's return, for the sake of her nine deaths, Yong Ning Bo will give her a decent and a way to survive.

"Let all the elderly, children and the seriously injured enter the general's mansion first." Shen Jin said, "Let the children hide in the secret room."

Steward Wang looked at Shen Jin and suddenly said, "Madam Zun Ling."

Chu Xiuyuan also said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect you, even if I die, I will die in front of you."

Shen Jin's eyes reddened and he nodded and said, "Okay."

After getting along for this period of time, Shen Jin and Chu Xiuyuan's relationship has become much more harmonious. Even though they have no previous aversion to Steward Wang, Shen Jin looked at Steward Wang’s broken arm, which was still bleeding. She remembered Wang. The steward's writing is very good. During the New Year, many people in the border towns will come to ask the steward Wang to write the Spring Festival couplets.

Xi Le also asked for it, and showed it to Shen Jin. The handwriting was not worse than that of everyone in Beijing, and it was a bit more of a character that they didn’t have, but it was the right hand that was writing that was cut off by the brute, in order to save one. The child who came up to deliver food to the soldiers.

In the face of big right and wrong, those little grievances and grievances are not so important. Besides, Shen Jin is not stupid. After seeing the attitude of the court, he also understands why the steward Wang is so defensive to himself, but in the end did not hurt her life. , People insulted her, and gave everything that should be given.

Steward Wang quickly called in his cronies and talked about the general things, "Madam is kind-hearted, I'm afraid I didn't think so much, but...the secret room can't hide so many people, and it's not soundproofed, so I can only choose the right age. Children go in."

"Appropriate age?" Shen Jin looked at Butler Wang.

Steward Wang said, "Over six years old."

"But..." Shen Jin thought that there were so many children.

Although Chu Xiuyuan is young, he understands the cruelty of war better than Shen Jin, "Sister-in-law, there is no way. If you are too young, let's not say whether you can survive until your brother comes back, just in case the city is broken, they cried and cried. Barbarian, then no one can keep it."

"Although the secret room has vents, it is not too big to attract people's attention. It can only be used for daily life. In case someone dies in it, I am afraid..." Steward Wang did not speak, and Shen Jin understood the corpse. Rotting is also easy to get sick.

"But what do you want to tell the people?" Shen Jin looked at Anping unconsciously. Anping's sister-in-law only added a son to his family last year, and Anping's brother had already died on the wall.

"Madam." Anping looked more openly than Shen Jin, and said, "All the people in the city are our relatives. In order to keep more relatives alive, of course there must be sacrifices."

"Madam is too soft-hearted." Steward Wang said, "Why don't I come."

"I'm coming." Shen Jin said, "I want to do something for this, too."

"Madam has done enough." Anping said with a smile.

Shen Jin shook his head, looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "You take a break first, I still have some donkey-hide gelatin, let someone stew it for you and the housekeeper."

"My okay sister-in-law." Chu Xiuyuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother will be back."

Shen Jin smiled and nodded, and didn't say anything. Her mother had taught her about housekeeping, but she had never taught her how to housekeepers during wars. However, she was not so particular about her at this time. She directly opened the door of the general's house and let her The elderly, children, and the seriously injured all came in. These severely injured people were immobile. As long as they were able to move, they stayed on the wall. Most of them died together with the enemy, so there were really no minor injuries in the border town. .

And these seriously injured people had started a hunger strike a few days ago, and they were forced to eat them.

Chu Xiuyuan and Shen Jin came together. After all, only Chu Xiuyuan knew the specific location of the secret room. Until now, not to mention these old people and children, even Shen Jin was very dirty, with blood and mud on his clothes.

Shen Jin looked at everyone and suddenly said, "If there is no reinforcement, I am afraid that it will not last for seven days." She originally thought it was not good to tell the people the news directly, but Guanjia Wang and Chu Xiuyuan agreed to say it directly, because they couldn't hide it at all. Now even women are on the wall.

"There is a secret room in the General's Mansion. At this time, children of school age are selected to hide in. If... they can't really be slaughtered, and the general will not look good when they come back." Shen Jin's voice has a special soft and waxy feeling.

Chu Xiuyuan stood up and knelt down abruptly, "My Chu family didn't take care of everyone."

"Major General!" After this period of time, these people no longer call the Second Young Master Chu Xiuyuan, but call him Major General, which is another form of recognition, "My sister-in-law and I will stand at the last moment! When people are there, the city is broken and people die."

"Major General." All the people who were able to move were crying and knelt down to Chu Xiuyuan. Shen Jin took the people from the General's Mansion and knelt behind Chu Xiuyuan without speaking.

"Major general, you and your husband should go in! When the general returns, the major general remember to let the general avenge us."

"Yes, Major General..."

"Needless to say." Chu Xiuyuan stood up, first helped Shen Jin, and then went to help the old people in the city one by one, "My Chu family only has ghosts who died in battle, and there are no people who steal lives."

"Madam is still young, let Madam hide in." Someone looked at Shen Jin and suggested.

Shen Jin said, "I am also a member of the Chu family." One sentence blocked everyone's mouth.

Manager Wang had already regarded Shen Jin as his own, and said, "This is Mrs.'s proposal. Madam wanted all the children to hide in, but..." Mr. Wang said the general reason again.

Some people were holding their young children and crying in low voices, but everyone knew that Steward Wang was right. Shen Jin couldn't bear to say, "Just in case, it's not there yet."

"Madam, don't worry, we understand." An old man over half a hundred years old stood up and said, "I'll choose someone. If you want to resent, please blame me."

"The major general and his wife have given us a way to survive, who can have resentment."

"The general will definitely be back."

Shen Jin and the others did not stay anymore. There were still many things to arrange outside. Chu Xiuyuan suddenly handed Shen Jin a dagger, and did not speak.

However, Shen Jin was taken aback for a moment, looked at Chu Xiuyuan, Chu Xiuyuan put the dagger in Shen Jin's hands, "Sister-in-law, take it just in case."

Anping also said, "Madam, those barbarians are not humans, things that are not as good as beasts."

Shen Jin understood at once, clenched the dagger and said, "En."
