Chapter 174 Strategic Retreat
Jia Lian was afraid that the emperor would go to Daming Palace late, so he blocked Jia Zhen as soon as the court came, and asked him to find a way.The thief Jia Zhen laughed, and strolled to tease a low-ranking female official who was not too young. After whispering a few words, the female official smiled coquettishly and walked to Qianqing Palace.
Jia Zhen turned her head and gave Jia Lian a smug smile, and said, "That's one of the four tea-serving ladies in the Qianqing Palace. She is older and doesn't expect to be favored. She only wants to leave the palace for the elderly. I promised that she will come out in the future." Therefore, if there is any news from Qianqing Palace, my brother and I can get first-hand information." Jia Lian cupped his hands to express his admiration.
The men of the Jia family are often very indiscreet and courageous when it comes to female sex. With the support of the Supreme Emperor, the deputy commander of the Long Jinwei, Mr. Jia Zhen, is so courageous that he dares to moles a female official in the palace.Of course, he still has good eyesight, but he will not provoke anyone who is young and beautiful and may stand out in front of the emperor and princes. The targets are all those who are facing old age and want to go out of the palace. It is safe to act like this Not to mention, the news in the hands of those older female officials is much more than that of the younger ones.
The tea serving lady was very efficient, and within a short while, I saw the emperor rushing towards Daming Palace with three or four entourages full of anger.As soon as Jia Lian saw it, he knew that half of his father's plan had been fulfilled. As for the rest, it was up to the girls to play it out.Although the others didn't know what would happen, Jia Lian still had great confidence in Baochai.That girl is indeed beautiful, except for her lack of style, her appearance and temperament are impeccable.But it was not to his liking, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen were the same, they liked young women more than girls, but considering the taste of the royal family, girls were more suitable.After Jia Lian finished his irresponsible imagination, he went home with Jia Zhen shoulder to shoulder.Jia Amnesty had long been running home because of motion sickness, but in fact, he mainly wanted to see his grandson for the first time.
Someone from the imperial hospital came to send a message, wanting to inform the two emperors that in the early morning of this morning, the Lord Huguo's mansion urgently sent news of the old imperial doctor Zheng, but the two were in vain.No one can be found in the Qianqing Palace, but the Daming Palace is so overcrowded that it is impossible to squeeze in.The doctor jumped anxiously. Although he was standing on a position of not helping each other, he couldn't afford to offend either of the two above.Thinking back to when they first found out that Princess Yinghua was pregnant, the two emperors sent him a message, asked him all kinds of questions, and forced him to report the news when he was a little troubled.As a result, today he calculated that he might be about to give birth, and he ran panting to report the news, but he was not seen.The doctor was so angry that he wanted to go home and sleep again, but he didn't have the courage, so he shrank his neck and stood with his hands under the white marble wall to blow the cold wind.
When the emperor heard that the Princess Manor had sent someone into the palace to pay his respects, there was a "buzz" in his head. The news from Princess Yinghua was upright, and he hated it for a long time. Under the sway, they even made a whole set of invisible plans to kill people—it is said that a woman's childbirth is the gate of hell, as long as she seizes the right time and takes advantage of Princess Yinghua's childbirth, one dead body and two lives can be solved at the same time. big threat.
The Taishanghuang naturally had the idea of giving birth, but what he wanted was to bring his grandson into the palace as soon as possible.And in order to prevent Ning Shan from obstructing him, he also designed a lot of plots that made Ning Shan have to go out of the city on the day of the princess's birth, but the sudden death of Wang Ziteng interrupted the established process, making the two emperors busy with Serbs robbing for official positions, so busy that they forgot Count the days.
It has to be said that Jia Amnesty made great contributions in this matter in a daze, and deserves to be rewarded with a big fat grandson.
The big fat grandson also seemed to give Jia She a face, he refused to come out for an hour or two, and when Jia She staggered back, he heard a loud cry of "wow". Afterwards, Nanny Hua He ran out ecstatically and shouted: "Both mother and child are safe, both mother and child are safe."
Ning Shan stood up excitedly and asked, "How is Yinghua? How is the child?"
Jia She danced and yelled endlessly: "Don't talk, don't talk, let me guess, is it a grandson or a granddaughter?"
The old imperial doctor Zheng looked contemptuous: "Now I can see that they are my father and father." How did this brain grow up?Is it true that being too handsome affects wisdom?The old mother shouted loudly that both mother and child are safe, what did they hear?
Sister Feng came out happily, with a look of honor after helping a lot: "Hey, young master is really handsome, I have never seen such a well-groomed child."
Mrs. Xing was still holding the child in the house, her posture was quite unprofessional, she was not a skilled worker at first glance, the big fat grandson kept spitting bubbles in pain, and Yue Yue felt distressed for a while, if she hadn't worried that Mrs. Xing was a wife, she would have Started to grab it.
Princess Yinghua didn't suffer any pain during her pregnancy, which caused a serious discrepancy between her endurance and her expectations. She was so stimulated by the sudden pain of giving birth today that she couldn't bear it. She cried for several hours, exhausted physically and mentally.As a result, the child fell asleep tired and exhausted as soon as the placenta was born, and he didn't even have time to see whether it was a boy or a girl.
The newly promoted stupid father Ning Shan was still arguing with the upgraded stupid grandfather Jia She about the gender of the child at the door, and the three girls who came quietly to observe the situation at the gate of the courtyard covered their eyes, and Yingchun lamented: "Daddy!" Why does my brother sometimes act stupid?" This is too detrimental to the glorious image of a great general.Ning Shan's status in Yingchun's mind is that of a god who can only be worshiped.Suddenly one day, a devout believer sees his faith blooming like a fool, and if he doesn't collapse, he will be determined.
Daiyu anxiously scratched the wall with her handkerchief on her handkerchief: "Why doesn't Sister Feng bring the baby out for us to see?" Unexpectedly, Sister Qiao who followed secretly shouted: "Who does my mother want to hug? No, just You can hug me." Xichun was so frightened that she staggered and fell on the threshold, attracting everyone's attention.
Sister Feng saw her precious daughter, she came up to hug her with a smile, kissed her and said, "Mother, why did you come here? Your aunt just gave birth to a younger brother for you. When he grows up, he will play with you." Son!"
Ning Shan, who finally grasped the key words, suddenly said, "So it's my son."
Jia Amnesty was very excited, raised his hands high, looked up to the sky and smiled, "My lord, I finally have a grandson, huh, huh, huh, I have a son."
Jia Lian poked her head out sadly and complained, "Don't yell in front of your granddaughter, sir, who is patriarchal."
Ning Shan grabbed the door and wanted to squeeze in: "Give me a look at my son."
Jia Amnesty also stood on the other side: "Give me a glimpse of the eldest grandson."
Ning Shan bumped Jia She to the side: "Let me see first."
Jia She was furious: "I am your father."
Ning Shan disdained: "My son's surname is Ning."
Jia She changed the battle plan at the speed of light, pulled Ning Shan's sleeve pitifully and said, "I'm an old bastard who has been waiting for such a long time, do you have the nerve to let me take a look?"
Ning Shan was hard-hearted and remained unmoved: "I'll talk when I've seen enough."
Nanny Hua finally couldn't take it anymore, and waved a handkerchief to drive a group of foolish men far away: "Go and do whatever you want, don't get stuck here, I'm going to be breathless." Ning Shan was agile, and Jia She was not slow , the two of them dodged away from the left and the right.There was only Jia Lian, who was foolishly waiting to have fun, and the other accidentally got a handkerchief, and it was drawn on the chin, breathing in pain.Sister Feng felt a little distressed, and couldn't help complaining: "Mother, you don't slap people in the face. Our second master also calls that face, and you always play tricks." Jia Lian stared at herself fiercely while taking a breath The cheating daughter-in-law took a look.
Ning Shan and Jia She were pushed all the way to the gate of the courtyard by Nanny Hua, and when they crossed the threshold, they heard a "bang" behind them, and the solid mahogany and gold-rimmed gate smashed together, and they couldn't see anything tightly.Jia Amnesty said unhappily: "It's just you who are stingy and don't show me the big fat grandson. Now that you're better, don't even watch it."
Ning Shan was even more angry: "If you hadn't made a fuss, I would have hugged my son by now."
Jia She immediately sneered and said, "Can you hold the newborn baby? You still want to hold it without taking a bath, spitting out amniotic fluid, and feeding your nipple? You really want to hold it when you are a mother? My mother didn't even allow me to touch it."
Ning Shan immediately asked for advice humbly: "Then when did you hug me?"
Jia She said with a look of resentment: "My old man is overbearing, he blocked my wife's door, and snatched her away as soon as she came out. Speaking of it, I don't seem to have hugged you."
Jia Lian chuckled inexplicably, "What about me? When did I..."
Jia She rolled her eyes and said, "Why am I hugging you? I pissed on your mother just as soon as I landed, it's not unlucky enough." Jia Lian's handsome face turned pale. Is it the fate of being angry?
The three girls were ignored at the door, and they watched the three old men attacking each other at the door without any grace, each of them felt a sense of disillusionment.
Yingchun covered her forehead and murmured: "I got up too early today, I'm so dizzy."
Daiyu supported her and said, "Let's go back together and sleep again."
Xichun clutched her stomach and said, "I want to eat first."
Daiyu rubbed her calves and said, "I just want to lie down quickly." She was standing all this morning, so weak and slender that she couldn't support her own weight.
Yingchun's eyes were dull and she said: "I just want to go to a place where I can't see my big brother being stupid."
Many servant girls rushed forward, and the three girls were taken away like the wind.They also couldn't stand the men in the family acting stupid in front of their eyes, especially the sons of the Ning family, they simply resented - since the appearance of the old man, their master's style has been distorted.
The girls drifted away until they couldn't see their backs. Jia She was still beating Jia Lian. Ning Shan narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Okay, they're gone. Let's get down to business." But she saw Jia She and Jia Lian. They all froze in place, and couldn't help but also froze: "You really think I'm being silly, am I making fun of you?"
Jia Amnesty nodded foolishly, and Jia Lian also nodded foolishly, and in the middle of nodding, he hurriedly changed to shaking his head, and ended up twisting his neck, grinning his teeth in pain and asking, "Brother, you were just..."
Ning Shan was very happy: "Even if I'm stupid, it's only for a while. You two are really stupid in your feelings."
Jia Lian came to his senses: "Brother, are you just trying to hide it from other people?" Jia Amnesty was still feeling stupid, he was really stupid to the end.
Ning Shan tugged at Jia Amnesty, shook her hard and said, "Don't stand still, there is something waiting for you to do, if you do well, the big fat grandson will reward you, if you don't do well, you will never see him again." him."
The big fat grandson is Jia Amnesty's weakness, he can't stand it without showing it, he was about to jump up immediately, but was pulled back to the ground by Ning Shan, and said in a low voice, "Take the child away before the palace comes to make trouble. Bar."
Jia Amnesty was stunned again: "Where are you going?" This sounded like the rhythm of the family fleeing, Jia Amnesty's legs were slightly weak.
Ning Shan said: "My soldiers have already arrived in the suburbs of Beijing. You hold the child, bring your wife, and take your sisters to the barracks. You will be safe and sound."
Jia She was so frightened that he grabbed Ning Shan and whispered, "Shan'er, what do you want?"
Ning Shan said coldly: "Nothing, but I can't let people take my child away. When Yinghua is out of confinement, I will go to Zhezi to guard the frontier. If the two emperors agree, that's all. If they don't agree, I just leave people, but they don’t listen to them.”
Jia Lian hopped Gao'er and shouted: "Are you trying to hold me down as a hostage?" Since the general went out to fight, in order to prevent mutiny, he had to hold his family members in Beijing. It is to ensure the safety of the military, so as not to be caught as a bargaining chip.
Ning Shan gave Jia Lian an angry look: "I'm that kind of person? If I really want to leave you alone, why should I send my own soldiers to you?"
Jia Lian hastily adjusted his expression and said fawningly, "Then how will the elder brother arrange for our family?" At the critical moment, he didn't think of running away by himself.
Ning Shan rolled his eyes at him again: "Wang Ziteng didn't die for nothing. If you take your wife to the funeral, won't you be able to leave Beijing?" Excuse.Ning Shan originally thought that the medicine should slowly make people weak like it killed Qin Shi, and it would take a year or so before death.Therefore, the retreat route arranged for Jia Lian from the very beginning was to take his daughter-in-law to serve the sick. Wang Ziteng has no son, and a daughter married early. Candidates are selected.But no one thought that the effect of the medicine was too fast, and it was straightforward to solve the problem, so Jia Lian had to ask Jia Lian to change the sickness to Dai Xiao. Although it was unlucky, it was easier.
Jia Lian nodded hastily, turned around and wanted to pack her things, but before she could move her legs, she turned back and asked, "Then when is the right time for us to leave?"
Ning Shan said: "Let Dad go out of the city first, you wait a few hours."
Jia Amnesty still grabbed Ning Shan's sleeve, and said nervously, "Can't we go together?"
Ning Shan simply said: "No. You take your big fat grandson and let Granny Ping take care of it. Keep a low profile, change your makeup, don't be recognized by others, and go first. Then I will send someone to escort the wife and sister Let’s leave the city to burn incense.” After speaking, he told Jia Lian, “When the sisters are all out of the city, you should go to the household department to ask for leave, saying that you are going to take care of the prince’s funeral, and go in a more honorable way.” Jia Lian fought hard. Nodding, in fact, my heart was terribly flustered, I wished I could switch with Jia She, and go first by myself.
Jia She refused to leave the eldest son alone to guard the rear: "Let your wife take the children away, and I will stay, so I can help you somewhat."
Ning Shan was annoyed and said with a funny smile: "Don't make trouble for me. It's easier for me and Yinghua to stay alone. If I spare you, it won't be busy enough. Besides, your big fat grandson won't go see it by himself. Now, who do you dare to trust?"
Jia Shen kept silent, thinking about his big fat grandson while worrying about his eldest son. In a dilemma, he was dragged away by Song Ping's housekeeper like a chicken——except for Ning Shan, none of the masters knew about this. According to the plan, among the servants, except for the personal servants, all the itineraries have been arranged early.
After a while, the courtyard of the Duke Protector's Mansion was crowded with carriages.Jia Amnesty had a troubled expression on his face, dressed like an old country landlord who went to the city to join in the fun, and was sitting on the first carriage with his fat grandson in his arms, staring at Ning Shan eagerly, as if he was afraid of missing a glance.
It can be seen from the raised car curtain that behind Jia She, in addition to the half-carriage of food and clothing, there is also a landlady disguised as a nanny with a face full of class struggle.Granny Ping played the image of an old servant in her true colors, holding Brother Cong who was dressed as a coachman and sat on the shaft of the cart.Brother Cong doesn’t have a high sense of existence. No one remembered to inform him that Princess Yinghua gave birth this morning. He slept happily until lunch, but was suddenly picked up and told to run away. At this time, he was looking around in confusion, looking forward to Someone can come out and explain.
The three girls who had just returned to the room and wanted to take a nap were suddenly gathered together, each with a dazed look, each with only two personal maids, a few changes of clothes and a dowry, squeezed together in a daze, Mrs. Xing was more ignorant than them. Only Mother Yue was still calm. She was directing her subordinates to put up disguises—they were going to go out of the city to offer incense and protect Princess Yinghua's safe delivery. Props for appearances must be prepared. Come out, so as not to be found out before leaving the city.
Jia Lian held Sister Feng with one hand and Ping'er with the other. Ping'er held Sister Qiao who was asleep in her arms, and the four of them waited at the end.Sister Feng, who has always been pungent, was so frightened by the atmosphere that she didn't dare to make a sound. She hugged a small bundle tightly in her arms, which contained all of their family's property—Jia Lian's family was leaving the capital and heading north. Until the North Xinjiang camp or Ningshan sent people to find them and come back.Therefore, clothes and food are not important, the key is to bring enough bank notes to survive.
Ning Shan stood in the middle of the crowd expressionlessly, commanding the operation methodically, as if she had returned to his battlefield with ease.It's just that the quality of the soldiers this time is mixed. No matter how good his plan is, he can only rely on improvisation.
