Chapter 1703 The End of the War
Mr. Ji sincerely thanked the Xie family and his wife, but knowing that it was hard to talk about it, he asked instead, "Where's Zhuzhu? I brought her some small gifts and asked her to come out and see if she likes them?"
The Xie family's parents were very happy when they talked about their little granddaughter, and asked Mammy to bring Xiao Zhuzhu.
"Grandpa~Grandma~" Little girl Zhuzhu looks sixty percent like Ji Zhenniang, so she is very beautiful, but her temperament is not similar to Ji Zhenniang's. She is very well-behaved and has an air of elegance at a young age. She is very happy to see her grandparents. Calling people.
After seeing a gray-haired guest in the room, he withdrew his servant's hand from holding his and half-crouched down to salute: "Bless you~"
"No gifts, no gifts." When Mr. Ji saw the little girl squatting tremblingly, he was afraid that she would fall, so he hurried up to pick her up.
Zhuzhu didn't remember Mr. Ji. She was suddenly hugged and was very scared. Her eyes were red but she didn't cry. Instead, she looked at her grandma and asked her for help.
Madam Xie was so heartbroken by her granddaughter that she softened her voice a few times and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Zhuzhu, this is your great-grandfather, he is from my own family."
Great-grandfather?
Xiao Zhuzhu was a little confused and didn't understand the relationship.
Father Xie pointed at himself and said, "Just like I am Zhuzhu's grandfather, your great-grandfather who is holding you is Zhuzhu's mother's grandfather."
It was confusing, but Xiao Zhuzhu understood it, smiled sweetly at Mr. Ji, and said obediently: "I have met... my mother's grandfather~"
Wow, my great-grandfather is too hard to explain. Zhuzhu can’t say it.
Mr. Ji was extremely happy: "Our Zhuzhu is so good."
Because Zhuzhu was a girl, Mr. Ji didn't pay much attention to her before. He just wanted Ji Zhenniang to give birth to a son quickly to avoid being divorced by the Xie family.
Now that I see Zhuzhu, I have to admire the Xie family for really knowing how to raise people. This child is well-raised, knows the rules, is not afraid of life, and does not panic when things happen.
But as soon as he finished praising him, he saw Xiao Zhuzhu crying: "Why is Zhuzhu crying? But my great-grandfather looks too scary?"
Xiao Zhuzhu shook her head, wiped her tears with her small hands, and lay on Mr. Ji's shoulder and said: "Mother~Dad~"
This is when I heard the adults mention the word mother, and I missed my parents.
Mr. Ji felt distressed when he heard Xiao Zhuzhu's suppressed sobs, and comforted him: "Don't cry, Zhuzhu. Your father and mother are very good. They won the battle in the northwest. When they beat away all the soldiers and thieves, they will be here soon." Come back and stay with Zhuzhu."
"Really?" Xiao Zhuzhu didn't know what war was, but she hoped that her father and mother would come back soon. She hadn't seen them for a long time and couldn't even remember what they looked like. She was afraid of losing her father and mother. Forgot.
Xie Lao Niang felt extremely distressed and took over the conversation: "Of course it's true. Don't lie to us Zhuzhu. Everyone in Fucheng knows that Zhuzhu's parents are coming back."
When Xiao Zhuzhu heard this, she finally burst into tears and smiled: "Zhuzhu, don't cry~ You have to smile~ Wait until your parents come home~"
Daddy said, you have to smile, a child who cries will not behave well.
"That's right, our Zhuzhu is so good." Mrs. Xie praised, took Zhuzhu and held her in her arms, but she was very worried about Xie Cheng and Ji Zhenniang.
Although good news came back from the northwest, it was heard that the Rong people were attacking Long'an Prefecture again. If Long'an Prefecture could not hold on, coupled with the terrible poisonous insect disease, Xie Cheng and Zhenniang...
Xie's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to cry. She could only suppress the pain in her heart and coax Zhuzhu.
While Mr. Xie was coaxing Zhuzhu, Mr. Ji told the Gu family that he would go to the Gu family to deliver gifts, and then discuss with the Gu family a team to go to the northwest to deliver supplies to Xie Cheng and Qin Baihu.
Mr. Ji: "The battle has been won, but the northwest is barren. It has been harmed by the army and the spring plowing has been delayed. Medicinal materials and food must be running out. Although the imperial court will send food there, there are so many soldiers in the northwest. These are life-saving things, so it’s always good to give them more.”
Then he said: "I have asked the third and fourth elders to prepare supplies before I came here. They are almost ready. If Xie's family can work hard, it would be best to provide food. Your family has a lot of fields, and the northwest is the most lacking in food."
Father Xie was very moved after hearing this, but said: "The Xie family doesn't have many hands. We can't send many decent people to go to the northwest. I'm afraid it will drag you down."
Mr. Ji smiled and said: "The Ji family has many nursing homes, and the Gu family has a lot of manpower. Qin Baihu's brother-in-law, the Luo family, also runs a bodyguard bureau. The Xie family doesn't need to provide the most life-saving food."
Mr. Ji is very good at talking. He knows that the best thing the Xie family can do is food, so he keeps talking about the importance of food.
Father Xie agreed and discussed it for a long time before settling the matter.
Mr. Ji looked at Mrs. Xie who was holding Xiao Zhuzhu, and said: "Zhen Niang's previous ignorance was all caused by the nuns and maids at home. They have been dealt with. I personally selected a group of people. After a while, Bring it to the two in-laws for a look, and if you think it's okay, let them follow me to the northwest to serve me."
Mr. Ji can be said to be very sincere. Mrs. Xie nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will show you."
After Mr. Ji's apology and the presence of this annoying little guy Zhuzhu, the gap between the two families was finally repaired.
Mr. Ji only stayed at Xie's house for one day, and set off for Dafeng Village in Tianfu County the next afternoon.
Before going, he sent someone to deliver the letter, so Gu Jinan let them enter the village.
The entrance to the village was very lively, with people everywhere coming to give gifts of thanks to the Gu family, asking for medicine, and fawning over them. It was quite a bustling scene, but the Gu family was nowhere to be seen.
Although Xiaoyu and Sanlang made great achievements and were praised and rewarded by the emperor, which earned the Gu family a lot of fame, the Gu family was more worried than happy.
Because of this, Mrs. Cui cried several times at home. She was afraid that the city would be destroyed or that her two children would be infected with poisonous insects. She was also afraid that Xiaoyu would be pregnant at this time. She was afraid that the northwest would be too chaotic and she would not be able to keep her children. She was even more afraid that she would be pregnant. Not on.
All in all, I was worried to death.
"Mom, stop crying. Second sister hates people crying the most. If you cry like this again, I will write to second sister and tell second sister. When second sister finds out, she will worry about mother, and then she will not be able to control pests and fight bandits with peace of mind." Cheng Brother handed Cui a handkerchief to wipe her tears while scaring her.
As a result, Mr. Cui glared at her: "You brat, you know how to scare your mother every day. I tell you, you are not allowed to write to your second sister and say this, or I will beat you."
Brother Cheng: "Hey, mother, I have learned new tricks recently. Big brother can't even catch me. You are so weak, you still want to hit me?"
"You're such a talker, come here and see if my mother can beat you?" Ms. Cui got angry and raised her hand to hit him.
But Brother Cheng ran so fast that he ran into the yard in the blink of an eye, climbed up the wall in a flash, sat on the wall and looked at Ms. Cui: "Ha, you can't hit her."
Ms. Cui was so angry that she felt dizzy. Why did this child become so naughty? How well-behaved you were as a child.
Ms. Cui: "Come down, or I'll tell your elder brother to punish you!"
Brother Cheng is very afraid of Brother An. He usually admits his mistakes and begs for mercy when he says this, but not recently: "Mom, how old are you, why do you still complain to your elder brother?"
The eldest brother said that as long as he can make his mother stop thinking and crying all the time, he will not settle the score with him no matter how skinny he is.
Brother Cheng was naturally confident after hearing this.
However, while he was deliberately angry with Ms. Cui, he was also worried about his second sister.
What if the second sister dies in the northwest? Or...
Brother Cheng thought so much about the tragic end of his second sister that he was scared to tears.
But he was crying in vain. Although the war in the northwest was still going on, Gu Jinli's life was not bad, and the battle of Long'an Mansion had reached a stage where the Rong people could no longer waste their time.
…
"Today, thousands of warriors have died from rotworm disease... General, we really can't let this go on. If this continues, all of our warriors will die!" the Great Rong witch doctor said with a cry.
It was so miserable. They could hardly bear to see the warriors being killed miserably by rot bugs every day.
"Shut up!" The general in charge of the pest camp kicked the witch doctor and said angrily: "As a witch doctor, you say such things. This shows your distrust of Tian Khan and disrespect of the witch god! "
This witch doctor is not the first to say this. Those who usually say this are pulled out and chopped off, but now there are so few witch doctors that they can’t be chopped down, they can only teach them a lesson.
"If you think about it again, if the magic medicine is not enough... set fire to it. In short, we can't let rotworm disease continue to spread in the camp." The general said.
But it’s no use!
They had burned and killed sick warriors several times, but the untouchables of Dachu were despicable. They had just burned all the sick people in the camp, and they also put poisonous insects into the camp, causing the warriors to suffer unspeakably.
