Chapter
Life in the village is very peaceful, and there are also a few chickens in the yard. They were bought by An Yi from the village chief. They were furry and cute. The soldiers in the border town not only had to train, but also did farm work during the busy farming period. So these things are not difficult for Yue Wen and the others. An Ning also marinated the prey that Yue Wen and the others had to eat, and made it into bacon and other easy to store. After all, when the weather gets colder, it will be difficult to catch animals in the mountains.
Chen Jin was a little afraid of the cold, wearing a thick jacket and wrapped it tightly. Yue Wen bought a lot of firewood and piled it in the corner of the yard. They were already preparing for the winter. Chen Jin held the hot red date soup in both hands and asked, "It's time for Jia Yi to go to the border town?"
An Yi was sewing clothes and said, "It should be here, but if it's hard to walk on the road, I'm afraid I'll have to wait." If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Jin is probably going to give birth around February, so An Yi and the others began to prepare things for their children.
After Chen Jin finished drinking the soup, he put the bowl aside and picked up half-made clothes. Her needlework skills were not as detailed as An Yi, but they were not bad. They were just slow to make. An Yi and the others made a few pieces, but Chen Jin had not finished this piece.
An Yi said, "Second sister, please keep your eyes carefully."
Chen Jin nodded. Since that day, Chen Jin never asked An Tao and the others about it again, as if he had forgotten it. But both An Yi and An Ning knew that it was not the case. The wife just didn't want them to worry about life in the village. Although they tried their best to take care of her, life was not easy. The conditions here were simply impossible to compare with the border town or the Ruiwang Mansion, and it was a problem to go to the toilet every day.
Most of the people in the village here have no toilets, so they go to the fields, and it is even more inconvenient to take a bath. It is better in summer and it is particularly troublesome in winter. The same is true for eating. Although there is no shortage of meat, there are few vegetables. There are a lot of cabbage stored at home. Thanks to An Ning, he can also change the taste of Chen Jin. He doesn’t have to think about fruits, but Chen Jin never said anything and uses a lot of them every day.
An Ning came in from outside, but she didn't lean toward her side with a cold air on her body. She said with a smile on her face, "Second sister, Yue Wen caught a bunny, and there are also little rabbits."
"It's so good." Chen Jin also showed joy on his face when he heard this, "Where did you catch it?"
"He discovered it some day ago, but the rabbit was too young at that time and was afraid that he would not survive, so he waited until today to catch it." An Ning said with a smile.
An Yi went to pour a cup of hot red date soup and brought it to An Ning. An Ning held a few sips and drank it. She felt her body warm and then came in. Chen Jin said, "Are you outside?"
"Well, Yue Wen is going to make a nest for the rabbit." An Ning said, "When the weather is warmer and the rabbit gets used to it, I will go and wash the rabbit well, and then bring it to play with the second sister."
Chen Jin nodded, "Okay."
An Ning looked at Chen Jin's appearance and felt a little sour. When his wife was pregnant with Young Master Dongdong, she looked very good. Not only was her complexion rosy and looked much more beautiful, but although her lady's complexion is not bad now, she is not comparable to that time. Her hair is a little yellow. Moreover, because she has not been well maintained in the past few months, Chen Jin now spends most of her time resting in bed. If the general meets her, I don't know how much distress she feels.
Chen Jin seemed not to see An Ning's thoughts, waved her to come over. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the voices outside. As soon as Jia was sent to deliver a letter to Chu Xiuming, the ones who were left by Shen Jin were Yue Wen and Jia Si. Because Jia Si looked simple and honest, he usually went to the town to buy some things and inquire about the news.
An Ning was closest to the door at this time, so she opened the door and asked, "A Fourth, but what news is there?"
Jia Si said, "Yes."
Chen Jin put down the little clothes in his hand and said, "Let Yue Wen and Jia Si come in."
"Okay." An Ning responded, and then asked Yue Wen and Jia Si to come in. She went to the kitchen to bring a big bowl of hot soup to the two of them.
After both of them drank the hot soup, Chen Jin asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Although the village they live in is remote, it is not far from the capital. If you really want to find out the news, you can still find out a lot. Especially in the town, there are spies arranged by Chu Xiuming. When Jia Si contacts people there, spies will also send some news. If something happens, they can be wary in advance.
Jia Si said respectfully. In just one month, two princes had died in the palace, one died of illness and the other was drowned. Emperor Cheng suddenly fainted during the morning court...
Chen Jin frowned, "Is the news reliable?"
The prince's death cannot be hidden, but the incident of Emperor Cheng fainting was spread.
Jia Si said after hearing this, "The capital has spread all over the capital. Because the empress dowager is not here, there is no prince now. Emperor Cheng fainted in the morning and there is no one in charge in the harem, ministers, guards and even palace maids and eunuchs all know."
Chen Jin gently stroked his stomach and said, "Where is the queen?"
"There is no news about the queen." Jia Si said.
Chen Jin pursed his lower lips and said, "I'll ask if there are any actions in Cheng'en Duke's Mansion recently."
"Yes." Jia Si responded.
Yue Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "Does the lady suspect that the Queen's actions were taken by the Queen?"
"How did Chengen Duke's Mansion get the title?" Chen Jin moved slightly, and An Yi put the cushion on Chen Jin so that she could lean on her more comfortably. Because of her pregnancy, Chen Jin has been feeling sore for a while. "How did Chengen Duke become the prime minister?"
As soon as this was said, those who knew the inside story understood that when Emperor Cheng succeeded to the throne, Chengen Duke's Mansion made great efforts. If this matter could be done for the first time, it would naturally be done for the second time. What's more, whether the son-in-law is the emperor or the grandson is the emperor. It doesn't have to think about which one is more beneficial to Chengen Duke's Mansion.
Especially the queen has a son already died.
Chen Jin remembered that when she left Beijing, Emperor Cheng was in good health, and there were even concubines in the palace who were pregnant. So that's it...
Speaking of this, I'm afraid the capital will be in chaos, so can we see our husband soon?
Chen Jin pursed her lips and lowered her eyes slightly to look at her belly. Her eyes were a little hot. She missed her husband, missed her things, and even more missed her mother.
"Yue Wen, you have bought more food recently." Chen Jin bit his lip, let out a breath before speaking, "There are also more medicinal materials. Can you invite a doctor?"
An Yi will do it if she delivers her baby, but in order to be foolproof, it is better to hire a doctor, especially if the child has something to feel uncomfortable when he is born, it is better to have a doctor here.
Jia Si said, "Madam, don't worry, you have contacted the doctor." The doctor was also a spy arranged by Chu Xiuming, so it is absolutely reliable. "And the doctor's wife also has the same medical skills as she can take care of the wife at that time."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "Okay."
Yue Wen also spoke, "The cellar in the courtyard is about to be prepared in the past two days. At that time, I and Si will get some food and put it underneath. Even if there is something wrong, there will be a place to hide."
Chen Jin responded, and several people discussed to choose something to store, and in addition to the doctor's family living, there was also a place to clean up.
In the border town, Jia Yi did not see Chu Xiuming, but only saw Chu Xiuyuan. After hearing Jia Yi's return, Chu Xiuyuan's face changed drastically, "Sister-in-law is pregnant!"
Jia Yi said respectfully, "Yes."
Chu Xiuyuan stood up and walked around the house anxiously, "Sister-in-law is in good health?"
"My lady is not in bad health, the doctor said she can rest." Jia said as soon as she opened her mouth.
Chu Xiu said in the distance, "No, I will send someone to pick up my sister-in-law immediately."
"Major General." Jia Yi said in a deep voice.
Zhao Duan also spoke, "Major General, don't be impulsive."
Jia looked at Chu Xiuyuan and said, "Major General, it's more appropriate for the wife in the village, not to mention that the wife can't withstand the bumps on the road."
Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. Instead, Zhao Duan said, "Major General, why not invite Princess Rui and Mrs. Chen?"
Zhao Duan would say this, not because Princess Rui was his sister, but Zhao Ru once said that if he was really inconsistent, he would ask Zhao Duan to ask Princess Rui, the sister. In fact, Zhao Ru's most proudest life is this daughter, who is very good in both talent and character, but unfortunately his life is not good.
Chu Xiuyuan thought of what Chu Xiuming said before leaving, nodded and said, "Please come with Prince Rui, Princess Rui and Mrs. Chen."
Zhao Duan quickly sent someone to invite him. Chu Xiuyuan looked at Jiayi and said, "Tell me the specific situation."
"Yes." Jia Yi respectfully told everything from the way to Beijing to the later.
Chu Xiuyuan pursed his lower lip and said, "It turns out that the Empress Dowager is so anxious to leave the palace, and there is this reason."
Jia Yi didn't speak, Chu Xiuyuan asked, "I know the Queen Mother is now..."
Before he finished asking, he saw someone running back outside. It was the servant who had just sent Zhao Duan to invite someone. The servant said, "Major General, the general and the others are back. They have arrived at the gate of the city. I'm afraid they have entered the city at this time."
Chu Xiuyuan said with surprise in his eyes, "That's great."
The servant asked, "Would you like to invite King Rui and Princess Rui to come?"
"No need for now." Chu Xiuyuan waved his hand, waited in the house impatiently, and walked out directly, "I'll pick up my brother."
Chu Xiuyuan had met Chu Xiuyao, but Chu Xiuyuan was still young at that time, so when he looked at the person with a little gray hair and a silly and thin hair in front of him, he didn't recognize him. Chu Xiuming was not surprised, but just said, "This is your third brother."
As soon as these words were said, Chu Xiuyuan's eyes turned red. The man didn't cry easily, but he was not sad. Even though he was young at that time, he still remembered Chu Xiuyao's look of waving his sword in the martial arts training ground. "San brother..." he shouted, and he couldn't help but shed tears, "San brother!"
Chu Xiuyao did not react at all.
Chu Xiuming smiled, "It's good if you come back, okay, let's talk about it when you go home."
Chu Xiuyuan nodded vigorously, then walked beside Chu Xiuyao, rubbed his sleeves and wiped his tears and said, "It will be fine, and I will definitely cure my third brother."
Chu Xiuming responded.
Chu Xiuyuan suddenly thought of Chen Jin's incident and said, "By the way, brother, A is here to deliver the letter."
Chu Xiuming paused for a moment and asked, "Are you settled?"
"Yeah." Chu Xiuyuan said, "It's just that my sister-in-law is pregnant." When he said that, Manager Zhao's face changed. This...he didn't hear it right.
Chu Xiuming trusted Chen Jin and did not think about it. He just felt ache in his heart. His little lady was pregnant and suffered so much...
