I don't know how Zhao Er Ye convinced the rich merchants from all over the country. A month later, the court raised military expenses as high as 3 million taels and 200000 stone grain and grass. Zhao Er ye and the Minister Wang of Hubu escorted the grain and grass to Qianzhou, where General Zhao was stationed, and took the emperor's edict.
The battles in the northwest and the South were in full swing, but none of this had anything to do with Shen Jingli. Although he occasionally thought of the people in these two areas and felt sympathy, that was all. Others said so little that even the country could not contain the killing. What can he do to help?
Leaving all his worries and sympathies behind, Shen Jingli is immersed in teaching children and doing business every day, occasionally dispersing his mind and looking forward to Mu Chen's letter.
A few months of time, as if very short, but also very long, he in every nightmares wake up the night secretly thinking, such a time of fear, when is the end?
He just wants to live a simple and happy life. Why is it so difficult?
But life is like this, in front of you to set up all kinds of obstacles and suffering, you complain about it, hate it, and finally have to brave the head to go up, towards the highest point of life.
At the end of May, Mu Jing's sister-in-law's aunt was dissatisfied with Qin's marriage to her daughter, and had a big fight with Qin. Yang Ningyi, who had been pregnant for more than seven months, was so angry that she almost gave birth prematurely.
After getting the news, Shen Jingli went to see him with a tonic.
"How did it happen?" The windows of the room were closed, and there was a smell of medicine in it. As soon as Shen Jingli entered the door, he couldn't help tightening his eyebrows. How could ancient people like to let patients stay in such airtight places? Even if they were cured, they would be suffocated by another disease.
"Aunt Fang was dissatisfied with Yiyu's marriage and went to her mother's yard to make trouble. I happened to go to check with my mother with the bills in charge of the affairs. I happened to meet an angry aunt Fang. She even scolded me. Later, somehow, she bumped into her and made it look like this." Yang Ningyi showed a wry smile. He reached out and stroked his stomach.
Shen Jingli pulled a stool and sat down beside Yang Ningyi. He felt the back of his hand without trace. It was as cold as if it had just been taken out of the lake in February. He frowned and turned to Jinyu and said, "open a gap in the window of the room, ventilate and let the air flow through. Then bring a soup lady to warm the hands of his wife."
Jin Yuyuan is a servant of Ximu house. He is familiar with the layout of Ximu house and knows the servants here. He acts like he does in his own house. After a while, he opens the window, brings back Mrs. Tang and a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Shen Jingli handed Mrs. Tang to Yang Ningyi, "how can you be so cold on such a hot day? What's wrong with your health? Do you want me to pass the sign to the palace for the imperial doctor to have a look
One of the advantages of being a prefect is that you can make reasonable use of the resources in the palace. Those who can serve the emperor's family in the palace are all talents, much better than ordinary doctors in Beijing.
"No, it'll be all right in a few days." Yang Ningyi shook his head. Although he refused Shen Jingli's proposal, he was very warm in his heart. It was actually very good to care about his sister-in-law at such a moment.
"If you are uncomfortable, don't force yourself. Your body is your own. You don't love it. Who else will love you?" Shen Jingli reached out and touched Yang Ningyi's cheek. The cheek was also a little cold, but compared with the frozen fingers, it was still a little warm.
"Good." The nagging sister-in-law is like her mother. Yang Ningyi laughs and her cheeks turn red like a fever. He is a little tired. Seeing Shen Jingli close to him, he slowly leans towards him, "sister-in-law, he has gone to the battle with moon lake. I am very worried."
"Moon Lake?" Shen Jingli was puzzled.
"Moon Lake is mu Jing's nickname. It is said that it was born when you visited the lake at night, so it was named Moon Lake." Thinking of the name, Yang Ningyi laughed.
"When did he go to the battlefield?" Why didn't he hear that.
"He went with the fourteen elder brothers. He said that it was time for him to go out for training. When he told his grandfather to go to the battlefield, he left with King Jing and brother 14." Yang Ningyi clenched Shen Jingli's hand and complained about the man. Why didn't he think about it? Their child was about to be born. What should he do when he went to the battlefield?
It's no wonder that he didn't know when he went with 14. At that time, he only cared about Mu Chen himself, and didn't care about other people at all.
"Don't worry. Fourteen said that the war situation is under control. He has slowly forced the enemy back and recaptured several cities. With 14 in, Mujing will be OK." Shen Jingli comforted.
"Really." He was suddenly at ease.
Is that why he made himself so haggard? Shen Jingli looked at his emaciated upper body and felt that he didn't take his body seriously.
"In a word, you have a good rest. If you give birth to the child smoothly, it will be smooth." Shen Jingli patted his back and looked at the half open window. "If you feel better, you should go out for a walk. Don't stay in a closed space. The air is not in circulation, and it's not good for your body."
"Good." Yang Ningyi nodded and fell asleep on Shen Jingli's shoulder."Yier is asleep?" As soon as he went out, Shen Jingli nodded and went with the Qin family to the pine and crane garden of Mu San Lao Fu ba.
"All blame me. If I didn't take care of my aunt in the mansion and let Auntie Fang splash in my yard, I would have hurt Yier." Qin's expression of remorse, this is her hard to hope for a grandson, if because of her negligence, she will hate her own life.
Shen Jingli looked at Zou's remorseful look. He didn't speak. He would be so regretful. Although part of it was because she was in love with Yang Ningyi, she was most concerned about her grandson. She was just afraid that the child would be gone. If Yang Ningyi did not have a child, she would certainly not look like this. Maybe she would blame Yang Ningyi. Why did she look for her at that time.
However, as a backyard woman of this era, Qin's mother-in-law is more open-minded and tolerant. If it were for someone else, Yang Ningyi would not be so comfortable and relaxed.
As soon as they entered the pine and crane garden, aunt Qingfang, who was waiting on the side of the old lady Mu San, immediately welcomed them out. "Madam and the princess are coming. Please come in quickly."
The old lady was drinking medicinal food and porridge in the room. When she heard their voices, she quickly put down her bowl and wanted to stop drinking it for an excuse.
"What are you doing, old lady? This medicated porridge is good for your health. Didn't you say a few days ago that you would go up the mountain with some old sisters? How can I go out and climb mountains when I'm not well The servant girl next to her saw that she didn't want to eat porridge, and immediately began to nag.
"Here comes Jingli. I'll have the porridge later."
After a while, she pretended to forget about it, so she didn't have to drink the heavy porridge. The old lady Mu San was very good at calculating, but the servant girl who served her had already seen through her mind and shook her head resolutely.
"No, I must drink the porridge now. I believe the princess doesn't mind waiting a little longer."
Mu San's old lady elongated her face and drank the medicated porridge she didn't like very much under the girl's firm expression.
The servant girl happily collected the dishes and chopsticks. When she went out, she said hello to Qin and Shen Jingli happily, and her expression was very bright.
"Mother, you don't drink medicinal food again?"
"There is a smell of medicine in the house, and it's not delicious." Mu three old lady like a child like Du mouth, "if they do with food brocade Xuan like delicious, I will not try every day to not drink."
"The medicated food in the mansion is made by the doctor according to your physical condition. If you can change it randomly, you can drink it. Otherwise, you will not be able to hold it when your great grandson is born."
"Who said that? I can't hold my great grandson. " Mu San's old lady immediately retorted. After a while, she remembered Yang Ningyi, and her face sank again. "What's the situation with Ningyi? But you must take good care of him. Otherwise, when the Moon Lake comes back, there will be some chaos. "
Sun Tzu is just a pet wife maniac. If something happens to his baby daughter-in-law when he is away from home, he will certainly make a big mess in the house when he comes back.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mu felt a headache. However, she also felt relieved. At last, the child's heart settled down.
"The doctor said it would be good to take a few days off." Qin's facial expression is not good-looking, in the heart is to blame on Fang aunt.
"As for Miss Siyu's marriage, since aunt Fang is not satisfied with it, you can ask the people in the Iceman pavilion to send over the suitable candidate booklet and let her choose with you, but you can't let aunt Fang decide by herself. She's just an aunt, but her vision is too narrow, so she can't miss the whole life of rain girl. "
"My daughter-in-law knows."
After Mu Siyu's marriage, Mu San's husband took Shen Jingli's hand and asked him about his family. He was deeply distressed and felt that it was not easy for him to support his family alone.
After leaving Ximu house, Shen Jingli went to Yang's house. Yang Laofu was much better. Although he still needed rest, he looked ruddy and his daily exercise increased.
Knowing that the old lady was getting better, Shen Jingli was relieved and went back to the prefectural palace without staying for dinner.
In June, General Zhao and general Zheng were engaged in a war outside Qinzhou. The situation of the war was locked up for several months.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan wrote to Mu Yu to return to mourn. Shen Jingli and Mu Jin were also asked to go back to mourn together.
