This year's festival is particularly cold because of the siege of Rongren.
Because the emperor and empress still have to be filial, and in order to save food, there is no banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve, only some things are given to the officials with more than four grades in the capital. This reward is almost the same as before, mainly for clothes and silk, but it seems to remind people of the problem of food storage at this moment.
It's rare for a big family to be reunited at home this evening, but at present, the reunion is full of worries because of the impossibility or knowledge of the future. However, because the baggage in the city is enough at present, and I woke up in a moment of uncertainty, I found that there was a teacher of King Qin, who was making a noise for a while because of the children who did not know how to worry, and the atmosphere became warm.
Wei Changying has to deal with two naughty and energetic sons, keep the age, and remember her husband who is far away from Yanzhou - or who has left Yanzhou now So when it was over, she went back to Jintong hospital and comforted her two sons with her last effort. She was so tired that she couldn't get rid of the hairpin and clothes. She fell asleep on the couch.
…… She was awakened by Huang's panic.
In fact, Wei Changying has never seen Huang's look so frightened and disordered. She has a disheveled skirt and a disordered hair. She has no dignity and calmness that her aunt should have. She grabs Wei Changying's shoulder with both hands. For the first time, she has no scruples about hurting her. When she speaks, tears even splash on Wei Changying's face: "the food and grass are burned!!!"
"What do you say?!" Wei Changying is so tired that he is awakened at the moment. At first, he doesn't wake up a bit and murmurs.
Huang almost cried and said: "about two hours ago, there was a fire in the warehouse! Because it was daylight, it burned for a while before being found by the patrolling taxi soldiers! But I don't know when a small group of elite soldiers took advantage of last night's new year's Eve, the soldiers relaxed and touched the city! And he found the warehouse, killed the guards, poured oil on the stored grain, and lit the fire! Now the whole city is rushing to put out the fire, but the soldiers outside are also attacking the city. By this time, the fire has not been extinguished! It's said that 70-80% of the grain in Neizhong cannot be saved! "
Wei Changying felt that the whole blood was frozen in an instant and then boiled like a raging wave. She rushed into her head and rushed back to her feet. She grabbed the brocade and was suppressed and screamed, "now?!"
"The LORD went to court." Huang choked, "it's said that Ximen is in a bad situation - madam just said that people in the mansion should not walk around But privately sent the whole hall over, asking us to pack up things for the two young gentlemen! "
The imperial capital has no elite soldiers at all. The imperial forest army without xuanjiawei can't say it's a mob! Before that, it was because we all saw that there was enough food in store. It was also said that the master of King Qin would come to the rescue before the food was consumed. After years of loose military discipline, the imperial forest army, together with private soldiers and bodyguards, and the young and strong in the city can work together, which can be defended.
Now 70% of the stored grain has been burned - the key is still burned in full view of the public. The blow to the people in the city can be said to be fatal! At the moment, Ximen is not good. With such a floating heart, God knows how long he can hold on and whether he can hold on? Even if today is over, what's next? Even though the big family didn't hand in all the stored grain before, but because the grand master's leader was handed in! Next, the food and grass are in a hurry. What should the man of the city do?
Anyone should think of eating after they are hungry! In this way, the soldiers should not fight. As long as no one is diligent, they can wait until the time when the emperor does not attack!
At this stage, unless the king's master arrives at once and can be seen in the city, the emperor can't keep it.
In this case, each family should consider to preserve its blood Wei Changying didn't even have time to cry for the separation of mother and son and his next fate, so he got up and rushed to the side room where the two sons lived to pack their bags.
As she worked hard to find out the winter clothes she had to wear in this season, she picked up the soft clothes that were convenient to carry, and asked the nurse to wake up the two children and dress them.
Because the new year's Eve to dawn, the two children and play in the middle of the night, this time is sleeping in the dark. The nurse couldn't wake up, so she had to dress them like this.
After putting on the clothes, the servant girl twisted a cold pad to wipe their faces. She just opened the eyes of the two children. She was confused to see her mother squatting in front of her and the wind hair on her fur. Shen Shuguang made a sound. She unconsciously looked out of the window at the sky light and murmured: "mother, will you get up so early? Didn't grandma say that today's children sleep until after noon? "
"Guanger, take care of your brother later, you know?" Wei Changying put her hands on the elder son's shoulders and said thousands of words. At this moment, she could not remember anything but such a sentence. After she said it in a trembling voice, she turned to Shen Shuxie, her second son, who was still rubbing her eyes and was ignorant, and said in a low voice, "you will listen to my brother later No, don't listen to my brother if he tells you to play around. "
Although Shen Shuguang was only six years old, he was very smart. At the moment, he sensed that the situation was not right. He stood up from the couch and asked, "why does mother say this to us?"
"Be good in the future." Wei Changying gently touched his cheek, greedily looking at his little face full of doubts - it's very possible that his mother and son will never see each other again! She was born in a famous family, married to a good son-in-law, loved by her husband and wife, and had two sons If she had not met this damned world, her whole life, her family, would have started and ended in the rich and rich!The two children are still so young. Even if there are dead men guarding them to break through, but Dao Lin Jianyu's, such a small and vulnerable child is just a little bit rubbed by the blade of a weapon, then And this war is in disorder. Who knows if they can be sent to their husband Shen zangfeng safely? If the husband also has an accident, the two children can only be sent back to Xiliang and live with uncle.
Will you be wronged by then?
Even if he is reunited with Shen zangfeng and his son smoothly, his husband is just young and has a high position. How can he not continue his marriage in the future? Stepmother enters the door, Yuanpei's son is the most eye-catching, and is still two Wei Changying has never been wronged in the backyard, but he has heard many private affairs in the house from his grandmother, old lady song, and his Aunt Huang. Besides, Zhang Shaoguang, the stepmother of Liu Ruoyu, the former crown princess, is not a ready-made example?!
If two of his own flesh and blood stand on Zhang Shaoguang's stepmother, Wei Changying just thought about it and felt that he could not be at ease!
She is one hundred thousand unwilling!
But what's the way? Her mother-in-law only asked her to pack up the things of her two children, which was to tell her that once the city was broken or the siege was broken by force, the dead man would only be responsible for taking the two children out, without her share.
It can't be said that mother-in-law is cruel. What Wei Changying guessed is right. Even mother-in-law is ready to stay After all, there are 200000 soldiers outside the city! Moreover, they are all the best soldiers in the army. They are not comparable to the royal forest forces in the city, which are also known as 200000 and have an actual number of more than 100000.
Although it is scattered to four gates, each gate is 50000 soldiers, but it can be said that there is no danger to defend near the imperial capital. Once you leave the protection of the city wall, you should face the pursuit of the soldiers who are good at riding and shooting!
In this case, it is impossible for the Shen family to protect all the Shen family members from escaping. Because even the elite Xiliang army, honed in the annual war with the Di people, will fight with the Rong and Di in this terrain. Unless the morale of the other side is greatly reduced first, the number of people must be equal and go all out. There is no burden at all!
If you can't protect everyone, you have to choose This clan is about to face the disaster of extinction. At this time, the priority is to protect the heirs who can inherit blood.
Both Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou are still in their prime years. In order to maintain their own position, they need to come to the town and clean up the situation after breaking through the siege. They will not be abandoned.
Among their heirs, their sons will have to ride and shoot, and they will not drag the dead man's hind legs, like Shen Zang, who is diligent in following the dead and even has outstanding martial arts, and can relieve the dead man's pressure.
But the grandchildren are all very small - I'm afraid all the children will be left this time, except for the fact that the Shen family has few heirs, and that both the grandparents and uncles are in their prime, and there are no special people to look after except the grandchildren!
In my heart, I told myself over and over again that my two children are blessed with great fortune, and there are many elders and dead people to protect them. It is better to escape from life than to stay in the emperor and watch them die Even if he will be wronged because he doesn't have his mother to take care of him, isn't Liu Ruoyu growing up the same? Besides, he was not Liu Hai's father, Wei Changying, who tried to hold back his tears and told him softly, "guanger is my brother, and I will protect my brother in the future."
"Mother?" Shen Shuguang looked at her doubtfully. "Why later?"
"Go to your grandmother's side." Wei Changying suddenly leaned down and hugged the two children!
She held her arms so tight and tight that she almost used all her strength. She wished she could rub the two children back into her body - the young Shen Shuxie even cried out uncomfortably
A moment later, she suddenly released her hand, stood up, turned her head decidedly, and asked Huang, "is Zhu Lei here? Tell him to come in and send guanger and xie'er to the room! "
"Mother, why go to grandma's now?" Shen Shuxie is still young. In fact, he is only three years old. When he was held by his mother before, he felt hurt and took the opportunity to break it. He stretched out his hand to loosen the long hairpin with her mother's sideburns. At the moment, he was playing with Wei Changying's skirt. He didn't know that he would never leave. Shen Shuguang, who was two years old, had already heard the doubt. He grabbed his mother's sleeve in fear and asked repeatedly, "aren't we just coming back from grandma? Grandma said we can sleep more today. Why should we go now? Why Uncle Zhu sent us instead of his mother accompanying us? "
Wei Changying looks down at him. In the dark and bright pupils of his eldest son, his image is clearly reflected. His childish and beautiful face is mixed with confusion. At the moment, there are more instinctive fears that don't know why. This is her first child. She was brought up by her mother-in-law before she was born. Soon after that, she went to the West Liang accompanies her husband. When she returns to the capital, she thinks she can finally make up for the child. But who can think that she will leave him again after less than three years?
And this time, maybe forever.
She forcefully grasped the palm of her hand to stop the impulse of crying, smiled and raised her hand gently. As usual, she touched Shen Shuguang's head if nothing happened, and rubbed the softest and most reluctant emotion in her life: "honey, you go first, there is something else for your mother I'll go to your grandmother's, you and your brother, first! "“……” Shen Shuguang is used to flattering his mother. Seeing his mother saying this, he habitually promised. But after the promise, the boy felt suddenly empty in his heart, as if he had lost something. He was too young to describe this feeling accurately, but he had an instinct. He suddenly grabbed the mother's train that was about to turn away and cried: "no! The child will go with his mother! "
Wei Changying turned her head and blinked away tears. She looked down at her eldest son with a smile and said, "you must obey!"
Shen Shuguang also insisted that his mother accompany his brother to his grandmother's place. He didn't want Wei Changying to clean up his clothes for him. Suddenly, he flicked his hand on his sleeping hole, and he fell down softly. At this time, Shen Shuxie realized that it was not right. He took Wei Changying's skirt in a daze and said, "mother, what's wrong with the second brother?"
"The second brother is asleep, xie'er is lovely. When he goes to grandma with Uncle Zhu, he will listen to grandma for everything, you know?" Wei Changying said in a very gentle way. She held the eldest son, bent down, kissed the second son's delicate cheek, and touched his forehead. The voice turned to plain. She said in a tone without any emotion, "let Zhu Lei come in!"
