Chapter 251： Retreat to advance

Chapter 251: Retreat to advance

The old lady quickly fed him a few sips of warm water, gently touched her granddaughter's braids, and explained in a confused voice, "This child is disobedient. I want to carry her away, but she won't stop crying. She wants to stay with you all the time." This is because she knows that you treat her well and miss you."

Dongmei also said, "Fu Niu and I will take care of the young master and give him medicine this whole day."

Mr. Ye felt very warm in his heart and whispered, "I'm fine. Let's take Fu Niu back to sleep."

Mrs. Li nodded. She also felt sorry for her granddaughter. After Mr. Ye drank half a bowl of porridge and took some medicine, she carefully picked up her granddaughter and walked back.

Jiayin stayed up all night and all day, but her small body couldn't bear it, so she slept until dawn. Thinking of Mr. Ye, she rolled over and got up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her grandma sitting on the side sewing clothes. She was still a little confused.

Mrs. Li was afraid that her granddaughter would be frightened, so she quickly held her in her arms and comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, Fu Niu, she is at home. Mr. Ye is already well. He has taken porridge and medicine. Don't worry. Grandma will carry you over in a while." ”

Jiayin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling increasingly lethargic and leaning against her grandma's arms.

The old lady originally wanted to ask her granddaughter where she got so many silver coins, but when she saw her granddaughter like this, she was reluctant to part with them.

She patted her granddaughter gently again and again, and then she dared to sigh softly when she saw that the little girl fell asleep again.

Her granddaughter, I don’t know where she came from, she is becoming more and more mysterious.

She really wanted to open one eye while sleeping, for fear that this girl would come up with something magical on a whim.

She is not afraid of causing trouble for the family. Since the family has benefited together, of course they have to suffer together.

But she was afraid that her granddaughter would not know the seriousness and her life would be shortened. If the whole family was fine, only her granddaughter would be in trouble.

What shall we do then?

I can only hope that the seeds of cold melon and cantaloupe will be sown. Next year, many families will plant them, sell them for money, have enough food and clothing, and then think about their own good, and all these blessings will be counted on their granddaughters...

Jiayin didn’t know that grandma was starting to worry again, so she slept until midnight.

After waking up, she completely recovered, hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, and ran to the next door with a big meat bun in her arms.

Mr. Ye's house may have opened the windows to let in the wind, and the smell of blood in the house was much lighter.

It is rare that Mr. Ye is also awake and talking to the miracle doctor Zhang.

Jiayin ran into the house, and Doctor Zhang's eyes lit up. He wanted to ask more questions, but he saw Jiayin holding up the meat buns and trying to climb onto the kang.

It’s a pity that the little fat legs are too short, hanging on the edge of the kang, making squeaking sounds, and can’t get up...

He was discouraged and stepped forward to give her a hand. Jiayin climbed onto the kang smoothly, turned around and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and thanked her in a sweet voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhang."

Zhang Shenyi spread his hands and responded helplessly to Mr. Ye's funny look.

"Forget it, I won't ask. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to guess it, so let's leave it at that. But in the future, if I have any questions, or if the hidden master has any good ideas, you must tell me."

Mr. Ye nodded, "Don't worry, this is a good thing to cure diseases and save people. I won't hide anything I can tell you. It's really inconvenient for that expert!"

Mr. Zhang rolled his eyes and walked out with his hands behind his back.

He said he was not angry, but he was still a little frustrated.

I have been squatting in Li's house for more than a year, and I finally managed to catch the master's pigtails, but I still can't find him!

I originally thought she was Fu Niu, but how can a fat girl who can’t even get up on the edge of a kang be an outsider?

Jiayin guessed that the old man was looking for him and made a face at his back, making Mr. Ye laugh.

“Uncle Ye, eat!” The good news bun was handed to Mr. Ye’s mouth, but Mr. Ye slowly shook his head.

"Fu Niu, come on, I just drank porridge." Mr. Ye raised his hand to touch Jiayin's little head, but he pulled the wound and groaned in pain. Jiayin quickly lay down and put his little head next to Mr. Ye's hand. That cute little look made Mr. Ye's heart melt into a puddle of honey.

Who wouldn’t like such a cute little girl?

“Fu Niu, my uncle will accept you as his adopted daughter, okay?”

Jiayin was lying on her stomach munching the buns. She almost choked when she heard these words. She blinked twice and asked, "Fu Niu has a father, and he is also very good."

Mr. Ye smiled even more happily. This child did not dislike poverty and love wealth. Instead, he was filial and grateful.

"My uncle recognized you as his adopted daughter to protect you, not to take you away. Your father is still your father, and you are still the little granddaughter of the Li family. It's just that there will be one more person to protect you in the future. Even if others find you Even if you are different, I don’t dare to do anything to you, understand?”

Jiayin nodded, of course she understood, she just couldn't help but test it out.

Mr. Ye is a good friend, an elder to her, and a protector.

But her family is still the most important, and she will not abandon her family for any benefit or anyone.

Of course, it would be best if you can have both now...

Ye Shan came in from outside, obviously he had something to say, but when the good news came, he hesitated.

Mr. Ye ordered, "Say it, it doesn't matter."

Ye Shan then stepped forward, half-kneeling on the ground, trying to make his master look at eye level with him.

"Sir, the child was delivered to the palace the night before yesterday. At the court this morning, the emperor was furious and ordered Dali Temple to find out the truth about your assassination as soon as possible. In addition, Zhang Wenzhuo, the minister of the Ministry of War, took away the job of guarding the dock, but the emperor did not give him any Soldier Talisman, I just ordered him to take over for the time being."

Mr. Ye nodded, "Zhang Wenzhuo is part of the Queen Mother's party. I'm afraid he thought he had seized the opportunity to make a great contribution. In fact, the barbarians were wiped out by thousands last time, and they are gathering troops to prepare for a counterattack. And winter is about to come, and the barbarians don't know how to grow food. Even if After occupying a large area of ​​land, it was in vain for a year, and there was no harvest. It is even more important to move the plan to Jiangnan. When the war at the riverside dock becomes tense, those old foxes in the court will be anxious, otherwise they will live a comfortable life in Jiangnan. After a long time, I won’t even think about regaining the rivers and mountains.”

Ye Shan sighed, with a hint of disapproval in his expression, "Even if the young master wants to retire for a while, he can't take such a risk. Fortunately, Dr. Zhang arrived in time, and the villagers risked their lives to rescue him. Otherwise, the young master would have been really... vicious this time. A lot of luck!"

Mr. Ye coughed lightly and knew that he was being reckless this time, but he had made careful arrangements in advance and did not expect that something went wrong at the critical moment.

“Okay, luckily there is no danger. Send a message to the Marquis Mansion, asking the housekeeper to send ingredients here every two days. I want to recover here.”

Ye Shan quickly agreed and asked, "Master Hou, do you want to transfer some people from the Hou Mansion?"

"No, you are enough. Tell the steward to arrange for people to deliver the ingredients, and select people who are loyal and strict-tongued."

"yes."

After the master and servant reached an agreement, Ye Shan went down to get busy.

Jiayin lay next to Mr. Ye and stayed with him, thinking about it in her heart.

She had always known that Mr. Ye wanted to take back half of the country, but she never expected that he would be so eager and determined that he would risk his life or death.

Think again about the potatoes and corn in the space, whether you should take them out to him in advance.

As long as arrangements are made properly, in two years, the people will be well fed, the national strength will be restored, and there will be enough military rations, and then it will not be difficult to fight back to the north of the Yangtze River and defeat the barbarians.
