Unfilial Sons in Ancient Times (12)

Chapter 53

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?

The military man who had been looking at the scholar who looked like a scholar took a step forward and held Jiang Wanqing's hand with a happy face. Mrs. Zheng was still a little unresponsive.

Not to mention her, even Jiang Wanqing herself was confused.

She stared blankly at the person in front of her and opened her mouth. Before her brain could react to what she was going to say, tears fell down in large numbers and flowed all over her face.

"Husband, husband, you are still alive..."

After being rescued, she, who had always forced herself to be strong for the sake of her unborn child, lost control for the first time. For the first time, she ignored etiquette and threw herself into her husband's arms with tears streaming down her face.

Ji Changze hugged her and patted her back gently.

He could feel the other person's thin body. Even though she was pregnant and treated well, Jiang Wanqing still didn't have any flesh except for her protruding belly.

Her body was trembling, tears came to her in a surge, and soon wetted Ji Changze's clothes. Her cries were choked, and she opened her mouth to speak, but what came out turned into sobs.

"I'm alive. I've been living well. I won't cry anymore."

Ji Changze also had no scruples about etiquette. This period of time really made this weak but tough woman suffer a lot.

Even with all his preparations, he still could not avoid the suffering she suffered along the way, nor could she avoid the grief and confusion she felt after thinking her husband had passed away.

The couple reunited after a long separation and hugged each other.

The Zheng family didn't have time to think about whether they were being rude or not.

They were already stunned by the scene in front of them.

Especially Master Zheng who doesn't know much about the female guests in the mansion.

He always paid no attention to the inner house. As for Jiang Wanqing, he only knew that she was a good friend of his daughter-in-law and was living in the mansion during this period.

Jiang Wanqing is a woman. Even if she is visiting, she will definitely be visiting Mrs. Zheng. She will not come to see him as a man. And while he is busy outside, Mrs. Zheng will not use the phrase "my daughter-in-law saved a pregnant woman and stayed in the house temporarily". Tell him something.

As a result, as she continued to live there, she became a lady who came to visit guests in the mansion.

Mr. Zheng was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

It’s great that she is Master Ji’s wife! ! !

This lady has always been a good friend of his daughter-in-law. With this relationship, the Zheng family can gain more confidence.

He quickly looked at his son, who was also confused, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Mr. Ji only entered the city early this morning. I heard that he is from Hu County, how could his wife be Mrs. Ji. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he reacted again.

Yes, Jiang Wanqing always said that her husband's surname was Ji, and the people below told him that the young lady's friend, Mrs. Ji, lived in the mansion.

Her husband's surname was Ji, and Ji Changze's surname was also Ji.

That's right.

But who would have thought this way before.

Master Zheng was also a little confused, but he and his wife had always been good friends, and the two of them knew how to gossip, so they were able to exchange a few words, and he also whispered back:

"This Mrs. Ji was rescued by my wife from outside the city. It was said before that her husband passed away and left a posthumous child in her house. My wife felt sorry for her being helpless, so she let her live in our house."

"Well done! Well done!!"

Master Zheng was filled with joy when he heard this.

Although I don't know why Jiang Wanqing said that her husband passed away but Master Ji is still alive and well, but just looking at the two people's happy reunion, I know that their relationship is definitely good.

Now that the young lady of the Ji family has saved the wife of a subordinate who is very powerful in front of Hou Jiangjun, this is no longer some confidence, this is simply full of confidence.

Mrs. Zheng was also confused. When she saw her husband talking to her father-in-law, she quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Who is this sir?"

Master Zheng quickly whispered to his wife to popularize science: "This gentleman's surname is Ji, and his courtesy name is Changze. He is a capable person under General Hou. It is said that this time he wiped out the rebels all the way and captured the northwest city, and then went to the Ge Q family to rescue the common people of our country. , he has made great achievements, and I heard that General Hou has reported his name and achievements to His Majesty. With such great achievements, his future official position will only be high or low. Madam, you saved his wife this time, and you did a great favor to our Zheng family! "

Mrs. Zheng listened to the series of words her husband said and looked back in surprise at Ji Changze who was coaxing Jiang Wanqing softly.

"But he seems to be very young and like a scholar."

"He is a scholar, he just joined General Hou's sect."

Seeing that Ji Changze was only focused on coaxing his wife and not paying attention to their side, Master Zheng carefully took Mrs. Zheng's hand and took her aside. He said in a very low voice: "Don't look at his young age. I heard that there was someone in the court before. He was the one who refused to reduce the military pay. The person who blocked it had lost his official position and was exiled thousands of miles away. Even the second prince could not save him. "

"and……"

His voice lowered a little, and he whispered: "The second prince was also reprimanded by your majesty for this matter. They all know that the second prince always has revenge, but he can't do anything about this Lord Ji. I heard that it is Lord Ji's Name..."

Master Zheng carefully looked around again before saying the rest: "The emperor knows it."

What her husband said was beyond Mrs. Zheng's understanding.

She didn't understand and was shocked: "But, isn't this Master Zheng a subordinate of General Hou?"

Who doesn't know that General Hou has been leading troops to suppress the rebels. If you want to get into the eyes of the emperor, you must first be at the feet of the emperor in the capital.

"I don't know these things. I was able to find out what I just told you because my aunt's nephew's daughter-in-law's sister is a talented person in the palace. If I didn't know these inside stories, my father wouldn't be so eager to please her. "

He did not dare to point his finger at Ji Changze, but could only use his eyes to signal Mrs. Zheng to look at the frail-looking gentleman who was talking to Jiang Wanqing in a low voice.

"In short, you saved his wife this time. This is a good relationship. With this favor, our Zheng family may be able to go further in the future."

As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

What does it mean to give a pillow when you feel sleepy? This is it.

His father was still worried when he received the post. He only knew these gossips and had no idea what Ji Changze liked specifically.

As a result, they still don’t know what the other person likes, but his wife saved Ji Changze’s wife!

He already liked Mrs. Zheng, and now his gaze on Mrs. Zheng was even more tender.

Mrs. Zheng herself was still in a trance, and when her husband looked at her like this, she immediately withdrew her hand with some embarrassment, blushed, and whispered: "It's clear as day, father is still watching."

"It doesn't matter."

Master Zheng smiled and took her hand again: "I want to take a good look at my good wife."

Mrs. Zheng felt so sweet in her heart that she never took her hand back.

In the pavilion, Ji Changze also explained clearly why he survived the catastrophe.

"...After I was rescued, I took refuge with General Hou. I knew that the rebels would not take you away rashly, but would sell you to the Ge Q family."

Seeing Jiang Wanqing's eyes still filled with water, looking at herself sobbing uncontrollably from time to time, Ji Changze took a handkerchief and wiped her tears with one hand while continuing: "After that, I followed the military camp all the way here. , captured the Ge Q family some time ago and rescued the people who were sold by the rebels, but I didn’t see you among them. The captured rebels said that they occasionally sold some Xingguo people to people in the northwest city. , I came to the Zheng family this time because I wanted to ask the Zheng family to help find you... Come on, wipe your face, I didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that I met the lady here. "

Ji Changze directly concealed the fact that he sent people to look for him and asked people to go to the temple to pretend to be Master Yunyou, and what he said to Mrs. Zheng. When he lurked in Zheng's house, he found that Mrs. Zheng was treating him like a guest. Indeed, Jiang Wanqing left only after that.

During this period of time, someone would tell Ji Changze about Jiang Wanqing's physical condition and how she was doing.

At least Mrs. Zheng did regard Jiang Wanqing as a close friend and treated her with preferential treatment. Ji Changze held back his desire to take Jiang Wanqing out.

He waited until the army entered the city, wiped out the remaining rebels, and made sure he was safe before coming to the Zheng family to pick him up.

There is no need to tell Jiang Wanqing this.

She was now happy that he was able to escape. If she knew how much danger his glory represented, she should be worried about him.

Although Ji Changze didn't think those dangers were anything, Jiang Wanqing was pregnant after all and couldn't be easily stimulated.

So, knowing that Jiang Wanqing had been pregnant for several months and how the baby in her belly was doing, and that she had taken birth control pills several times, Ji Changze, who had recently developed quite well, was still full of surprise and a little nervous. He reached out and gently touched her bulging belly.

"Madam, your belly?"

Jiang Wanqing finally recovered from the surprise that her husband was not dead, and looked down at her belly.

"On the way to being arrested, I found out that I was pregnant."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Changze with a somewhat uneasy expression.

After all, she was captured by the rebels just three days after they got married. Her belly was flat at that time, but now she has a bigger belly when they meet again.

Even if Jiang Wanqing knew in her heart that this child was indeed Ji Changze's, she was still a little worried at this moment.

After all, in most cases, the man will definitely doubt that the child is not his but the rebel's.

Mrs. Zheng saw that the topic between the two of them had reached this point, and she did not bother to finish talking to her husband. She quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Master Ji, this child is indeed yours. When I first met Wan Qing, the girl even persuaded her to give birth to a child. Life would be easier if she gave birth to a child. She was stubborn and refused to abort her at any cost. She also said that this was the only bloodline left by her husband in this world, and she must give birth to the child so that her husband could have a good life. "

She loves to do good deeds and has rescued many poor women, but not like she did to Jiang Wanqing. Instead, she only gave some money or helped find work.

There used to be a woman who was a concubine and her husband was a businessman. She was in the car with her. On the way, they encountered robbers. Her husband was arrested and asked for money. She, the female concubine, escaped by hiding in the car.

The next day, the husband returned.

She was filled with joy, and before she even came forward to ask for help, she was asked where she had been last night.

The woman quickly explained that she was hiding in the car, but no matter what she said, her husband refused to believe it.

He just thought wholeheartedly about how this concubine, a weak woman, could possibly escape the robbers on her own. In addition, the concubine's hair was disheveled because she was avoiding him, and she stayed up all night because she was worried about him. Her face was haggard, so he identified her. Last night was ruined by robbers.

After that, he became very cold towards her, despising her for no longer being innocent because of this incident that had never happened.

Before she even reached the place, she was kicked out only halfway.

The accompanying lady was kind-hearted and knew that she had always been honest and honest and had never acted like a monster. She sent her maid to give her some silver and dry food, which supported her all the way to the northwest city.

This is just one night without being with her husband, and she is not pregnant.

Madam Zheng was a little worried that Mr. Ji would doubt Jiang Wanqing.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lady."

What made her feel at ease was that although Mr. Ji looked like a scholar, he was not as thoughtful as some scholars.

There was no doubt on his face, and he accepted the fact that his wife was pregnant with joy and guilt.

Ji Changze gently touched the bulging belly.

Because Jiang Wanqing herself was very thin, her belly was very conspicuous.

He said seriously: "It's my fault. I made you suffer. When you are done staying in Northwest City, I will take you back to your hometown in Huxian."

Jiang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly with red eyes.

When the husband and wife met, they had a lot to say. Ji Changze didn't care whether it would be rude, and just hurriedly bowed to the Zheng family to apologize.

"Thank you for the help from the Zheng family. I am now able to see that my wife is safe. I will not bother you today. Tomorrow, my wife and I will go to thank you together."

"You are so polite. Madam Ji is also a good friend of my wife. It is my duty."

"You are so polite, Lord Ji."

The father and son of the Zheng family were all smiling, watching Ji Changze carefully escort Jiang Wanqing away and escort her all the way to the door.

Ji Changze came on horseback, and Jiang Wanqing could not ride a horse. Fortunately, Madam Zheng was considerate and called a sedan chair from the mansion.

She stood at the door of the mansion, watching Jiang Wanqing being helped into the sedan chair by Ji Changze, and then said a few words to her through the curtain. The seemingly weak but very slender Lord Ji turned around and got on the horse.

He did not speed up, but just followed the sedan chair and walked slowly.

After watching them leave, Madam Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and her face showed a joyful look for her friend.

Holding the handkerchief, she murmured, "I didn't expect that Wanqing's husband was not dead."

And, they met by chance.

"Not only is he not dead, he is actually doing a lot."

After the outsiders left, Master Zheng could no longer hide the joy on his face.

The same was true for Master Zheng.

He glanced at his daughter-in-law standing there, and his heart was full of satisfaction.

Marry a virtuous wife, this sentence is indeed right.

Who would have thought that when the people in Northwest City were trying every means to get in touch with General Hou, their daughter-in-law had actually saved the wife of Mr. Ji.

He was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Madam Zheng had been married for so long and still not pregnant, but his son had a good relationship with his wife and refused to take a concubine.

Originally, Master Zheng thought that after a while, when Northwest City settled down, even if his son was unwilling, he would find an honest concubine to continue the bloodline of their Zheng family.

If the daughter-in-law is not happy, she can give the child to her after it is born. If she has a child, she can send the child to a concubine.

Now this incident has made Mr. Zheng give up this idea.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this daughter-in-law is very good.

Not to mention her appearance, she has always been very organized in handling the affairs of the mansion. She is also kind-hearted and very good to her son. Now she has helped the mansion so much.

There is no child yet, maybe it is not fate yet.

Both of them have seen a doctor, and there is no problem. Maybe if they don't urge, the child will come by itself after a while.

Madam Zheng didn't know that her father-in-law had just decided not to give her husband a concubine. She was still holding the handkerchief, happy for Jiang Wanqing, and thinking with a little worry.

It seems that Mr. Ji has a very high status now. It is no longer like what Wanqing said to her. Both of them are ordinary people.

Although it is a happy thing for a husband to be glorious, for a woman, a husband with a high official position and high status means that there is no shortage of women around him.

Wanqing is still pregnant now. She was just a commoner before. Although she is steady, she doesn't have much scheming.

It's good that Ji Changze doesn't dislike her, but what if he has another woman by his side...

Wanqing will definitely not be able to fight.

Otherwise, how can they be called friends.

Jiang Wanqing sat in the sedan chair, thinking the same thing as Madam Zheng Shao.

She has been separated from her husband for so long, and now her husband seems to have become an official. If there is another woman by his side, how should she deal with it.

Jiang Wanqing looked down at her bulging belly and pursed her lips slightly.

She didn't think about the idea of ​​"If you really find another woman when I'm struggling to survive outside, you're a scumbag."

In today's patriarchal society, as someone who grew up here and was influenced by her, she has long felt that this situation is very common.

She didn't think about blaming Ji Changze, but began to worry about what she should do if this happened.

In the past, they were all poor commoners, and Jiang Wanqing never worried whether Ji Changze would have other women.

Three wives and four concubines are only for wealthy families.

Their whole village is monogamous, not because the men don't want to, but because they are too poor. How can they afford to raise a child?

Therefore, although Jiang Wanqing knew these things, she had never experienced them.

She was worried, and gradually became sleepy as the sedan chair swayed.

Changze came.

Changze took her home.

Although Madam Zheng treated her well, Jiang Wanqing was very grateful to her.

But after all, living in someone else's house, not her own home, was always a little uncomfortable.

But now, she was going to be taken to her own home.

Even if this home was poor and broken, it was still her own place.

Thinking of this vaguely, some of the previous uneasiness and worries gradually disappeared. Jiang Wanqing leaned against the sedan chair and fell asleep.

Ji Changze, who was riding slowly outside, moved his ears slightly and looked sideways at the sedan chair.

Jiang Wanqing's breathing was even, so he must have fallen asleep.

He raised his hand and said to the sedan bearer: "Go slowly, don't bump my wife."

"Yes."

The group arrived at Ji Changze's mansion.

It was called his mansion, but in fact it was the residence of a leader of the rebels.

After the Northwest City was captured, according to the rules, it was time to divide the spoils as usual.

As a great hero who captured the Northwest City, Ji Changze, in addition to the obvious rewards, also had some fields and shops, gold and silver jewelry, houses and manors. In short, this victory directly made him a rich man.

The rebels were quite fat and thriving here. This was not a fight against corrupt officials. The things obtained from the rebels did not need to be handed over to the court. General Hou took 50% without hesitation, and then began to let his subordinates divide the remaining 50%.

Ji Changze's share was decided by the military advisor, who directly gave him 10% from General Hou.

This 10% was compared with the previous total.

In other words, Ji Changze got one-fifth of the property from General Hou.

Even if he got the money, he couldn't touch it, but it was kept by the military advisor for his own use. General Hou was so heartbroken that he suffocated.

It's not that he was reluctant to give Ji Changze this 10%.

If you want to give 10%, you should have told me earlier!

Wouldn't it be enough to divide it directly from the remaining 50%? If he had known earlier, he would have taken 60%.

In the army, the upper people eat meat and the lower people drink soup.

Among the armies of all parties, only General Hou was relatively generous. If it were someone else, it would be good if he was willing to let his subordinates share 10%.

He felt very distressed for a while. Seeing that he was frowning and looking at the geomancy map non-stop for fun, Ji Changze did not tell him that the military advisor took the 40% to invest in shops.

The military advisor was good at making profits. If the 40% was in his hands, it would make General Hou a lot of money in just one year.

Ji Changze also gave some silver to the military advisor, just as a small shareholder. Occasionally, he would come up with some small ideas and not have to worry about it, and the silver would come in a lot.

He looked at the account book quickly and could handle it in a short time without spending much time and energy, but he still decided to hand over the account book and the affairs of the mansion to Jiang Wanqing.

Pregnant women really can't spend too much energy.

But Jiang Wanqing had experienced too much. They were both poor when they got married and were at the same level. As a result, during this period of separation, Ji Changze's status suddenly became higher, and Jiang Wanqing would definitely be a little uncomfortable.

Giving her authority and handing over all the property in the mansion to her can make her feel at ease.

As for whether he should keep the property.

Ji Changze didn't consider it at all. Jiang Wanqing wouldn't starve him. Most likely, only men who don't trust their wives or don't earn much money will hold on to their money and refuse to spend more.

"My wife."

Jiang Wanqing was sleeping in a daze when Ji Changze called her gently.

Pregnant women are prone to sleepiness and it is a bit difficult to wake up. Seeing this, Ji Changze simply bent down and entered the sedan chair and held her with both hands.

Holding her in his arms, there was not much romance. He only felt the other person's hand that seemed to be slightly thin, but it was a handful of bones.

She was a weak woman, and she was really suffering too much.

Ji Changze tightened his hands and walked into the mansion regardless of the curious and cautious gazes of pedestrians on the street.

It was not until they reached the courtyard that Jiang Wanqing was refreshed by the wind. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was being carried into the house by her husband, and her face immediately turned red.

There were also some servants dressed in servants' clothes standing carefully and respectfully.

"My husband, why are you carrying me? Put me down quickly. There are many people here."

"You are my wife. We have worshipped heaven and earth in a formal way. Now you are pregnant with my child. Why should I be afraid of others seeing you?"

Ji Changze carried her all the way to the lobby.

There were two chairs in the lobby. He first put Jiang Wanqing on one of the chairs, and then sat on the chair next to it.

He said to the housekeeper who came over: "Go and call all the servants in the mansion to come over."

While the housekeeper was calling people, Ji Changze turned to Jiang Wanqing and said: "Some of these people were given by colleagues, and some were bought by ourselves. We have to stay in Northwest City for a while, so we can't avoid having people serve us."

Jiang Wanqing nodded, looked at Ji Changze nervously, and was slightly relieved when she saw that he didn't say anything about asking concubines to come to pay respects to her.

The servants came soon.

Ji Changze got straight to the point: "You are here to meet the young lady."

The servants below did not hesitate. Although they had just been in this house for less than a day, they were used to serving people. They immediately found people around Ji Changze to inquire about the master's family.

Knowing that their master had a wife.

As for why the master came all the way with the army, but the young lady also followed, this was not something the servants should ask.

These people have only been bought for a short time, and Ji Changze is not very familiar with them, so he directly said to the housekeeper: "Didn't we buy a dozen little girls before? Send them to serve the Madam. The Madam is pregnant, and this is the most important time. We need to find those who are steady and can protect the master, preferably those who have served others before."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord. I will pick someone right away. I just don't know which courtyard the young lady will live in?"

Although he knew that Ji Changze had a wife before, the housekeeper thought that the young lady would not come to Northwest City in the short term. The master didn't say to arrange a courtyard, so he didn't arrange it.

As a result, the young lady is here now.

If you have to arrange it in a hurry and arrange it well, you have to hurry up.

"No, the young lady will live with me."

When these words came out, the servants below were a little surprised.

If it was before, Jiang Wanqing might not understand why they were surprised, but during the time she lived in the Zheng family, she also heard Madam Zheng talk about some rules of wealthy families.

If the wife is pregnant, the master usually won't live in the wife's room.

She put her hand on her belly with some hesitation, and said softly; "I'm pregnant, so it's inconvenient. I'd better live alone."

"How can this be possible? You and I are husband and wife. How can we not live together? Besides, I don't feel at ease if you live alone."

Ji Changze said tender words with a serious face, and saw Jiang Wanqing was stunned at first, and then a faint smile spread on her fair face, and even her eyes seemed to brighten a little.

"Let's arrange it like this for now. Tell the kitchen that the young lady is pregnant. During this period, she should eat the best food for pregnant women."

As he said this, Ji Changze's voice was slightly louder, and he smiled and said to Jiang Wanqing: "When the lady is well, I will give you all the affairs of the mansion. In the future, this mansion will rely on the lady."

Jiang Wanqing didn't think much, nodded, and agreed.

The servants below were all shocked.

The original seven points of respect for Jiang Wanqing suddenly increased to ten percent.

This is the mistress of the house. Their confinement money and even their lives are in her hands.

Must be respectful!

After telling the people below about Jiang Wanqing's status in a simple and rough way, Ji Changze stood up again: "Madam, weren't you sleepy just now? Let me help you go back to your room to rest."

Seeing that he never mentioned introducing any woman to her from beginning to end, Jiang Wanqing had already relaxed completely.

Once relaxed, she heard her husband mention being sleepy again, and she was sleepy again.

Following Ji Changze into the house, she didn't have time to look at the furnishings in the house. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep.

Perhaps because of her ups and downs in her mood, and subconsciously knowing that her husband was here, she could rest assured, she slept very soundly.

She slept until dusk, when Jiang Wanqing moved slightly and opened her eyes.

The very professional maids were busy in the house without making any noise. Almost as soon as she sat up, they found that she was awake.

"Madam, are you awake?"

An older and more steady maid stepped forward first and pulled up the curtain. The other maids in the room took shoes and clothes.

Another maid took up a comb.

Jiang Wanqing had just woken up and was still a little confused. She stood up with the help of the steady maid, and then felt the confusion of being served by three or four maids.

"You..."

The steady maid saw her doubts and bowed quickly: "I, Chunju, will be the young lady's sidekick in the future."

The other three maids also bowed quickly.

"Your servant Xia Ju/Qiu Ju/Dong Ju greets the young lady."

Jiang Wanqing nodded subconsciously, and her memory came back. She remembered that she had reunited with her husband. These girls should be the ones her husband had mentioned before. She asked, "Where is your husband?"

"My husband is discussing things with others in the study. He was afraid that there would be no one around when the young lady woke up, so he asked us to stay by your side."

Chun Ju said, and then said, "Is the young lady hungry? The kitchen is stewing chicken soup with jujubes. It is the best for nourishing the body. I will bring it to the young lady to drink?"

Jiang Wanqing was really a little hungry.

She nodded hesitantly, and Chun Ju bowed and went out. After a while, she brought a bowl of chicken soup.

The chicken was the leg meat, with red jujubes in it, and the floating oil on it was skimmed off. Just looking at it makes people want to drink a mouthful.

While Chunju was serving the chicken soup, Jiang Wanqing had already been tidied up by the maids. When the chicken soup came, she drank it in small sips. After a sip, it seemed to warm her whole body.

"From now on, you will be my people?"

The maids all agreed.

Jiang Wanqing asked again: "How long have you been in the mansion?"

"We were just bought yesterday, but if Madam wants to ask anything, as long as it is about the affairs of the mansion, I can answer it."

Jiang Wanqing hesitated for a while, and finally asked softly: "This mansion...are there other people?"

Chun Ju was a little confused: "The master in the mansion is only the young master and the young lady, and there are fifteen servants, fifteen maids, five chefs in the kitchen, and the housekeeper. Because the young master has just arrived in Northwest City, he has not yet bought flowers, plants, fruits and trees, sedan chair bearers, and water. But I heard that the housekeeper is already looking for a human trafficker."

After that, she said: "If Madam still wants someone, you can directly call the housekeeper and ask him to find a human trafficker to buy it back."

After hearing what she said, Jiang Wanqing's hand fell on her abdomen with some embarrassment. She felt embarrassed, but she tried to suppress her embarrassment and said: "Is there nothing else?"

Anything else?

Chun Ju was still confused, and suddenly saw the embarrassment on her face, and suddenly realized it.

She said in a crisp voice: "No more, Madam, don't worry. The young master is busy with affairs. Several groups of people came to look for him today, but the young master still pushed them away to accompany the young lady. If the general hadn't come to look for him later, the young master would still be guarding you now. Even so, before going to the study, he also told the servants several times to serve you well."

"The young master's feelings for the young lady are known by the servants in the whole mansion."

Her words were definitely a reassurance for Jiang Wanqing, who was in a complex mood of happiness and inferiority, peace of mind and anxiety.

She was completely relieved, lowered her head, and gently touched her abdomen.

I don't know if it was because of the chicken soup, but her body was warm and her heart was warm.

Jiang Wanqing looked at her abdomen gently, and said to the child in her heart:

Look, your father is here to pick us up.

When you are born in the future, you won't be afraid of not having a father.

****

"A gift for my sister-in-law. I bought this hairpin with the general when I came here. It looks nice and will definitely make my sister-in-law look more dignified and elegant."

Ji Changze took the box handed over by the military advisor and pointed at him with a smile: "You two are good. Two people came to congratulate, but only one gift was given. You are not afraid that others will think you are stingy."

"No problem, no problem. When the general gets married, you and I will buy a gift together and give it to him. Isn't this what you got back?"

The military advisor smiled and teased.

General Hou, who was still immersed in the geomancy map newly drawn by Ji Changze, heard that he was named and looked up a little dazed.

Seeing that both of them were smiling at him, he was immediately dissatisfied.

"You are joking. Didn't you say that the situation was urgent? I just received a letter in the training ground and rushed back without even eating. You still have time to joke."

"The situation is urgent, but I am not in a hurry."

Ji Changze put down the box, opened the drawer of the study, took out a letter from it, and handed it to the two.

"Zhao State has started an army?"

The military advisor was thoughtful after reading it, but General Hou looked unconcerned: "Zhao State has always been a thief. They fight today and tomorrow. I would be surprised if they didn't fight one day. What kind of emergency is this?"

Ji Changze pointed at the letter and said: "Zhao State suddenly started an army because it received a large amount of military pay."

"What's so strange about this? They want to fight us, so they naturally need military pay."

Ji Changze: "The military pay was sent by the eldest prince."

"It's not the first time that the eldest prince of their Zhao State has entered the military camp. What's more, when fighting, the prince sends military pay..." General Hou stopped talking and frowned.

He asked with a little disbelief, frowning; "My Xingguo's eldest prince?"

Ji Changze nodded.

The military advisor's face darkened.

General Hou: "...What does this prince want to do?"

"He can't fight with the prince, so he plans to form an alliance with Zhao. This military pay is his surrender."

General Hou: "..."

Isn't this just to rob his own house, tear down his own wall and give it to the enemy, so that the enemy can help rob the house?

Isn't he stupid? How long can the house last without the yard?

Is this probably the stupid son of the landlord.

"Since it is a war between princes, let's stay away. These princes look polite, but they are actually very narrow-minded. If you don't do what they want, they will hold a grudge and find ways to mess with you."

Although he has ten thousand ca0'n-i'ma in his heart, General Hou is still very rational in major matters.

He had suffered from the second prince before. He just refused to surrender, but he treated him as if he had done something to the other party. He tried all kinds of ways to trip him up. If it weren't for the military advisor by his side, he didn't know how much he would suffer.

He finally figured it out. These princes are not easy to deal with. He should stay away from them.

"When the court sends troops, I will use the excuse of dealing with the remnants of the rebels in Northwest City. Anyway, whoever wants to fight can fight, I will not get involved with them."

He said, feeling a little complacent.

Today I am so rational again.

It's great.

The military advisor suddenly asked: "The military pay that was robbed on the road a few days ago was done by the eldest prince?"

Ji Changze nodded: "That's right. If it weren't for the general's savings that time, I'm afraid Northwest City would not be so easy to take."

General Hou: "..."

His... savings...

Crack --

He heard the sound of his reason shattering.

General Hou slammed the table and stood up, his face full of righteous anger:

"He Zhao State is so bold that he dared to invade my Xing State. I will write a letter to ask for a fight now."

"Fuck him!!!",,
