Chapter 330 Joy
At the city gate, Uncle Six was waiting in line to enter the city, but unexpectedly there was a sudden noise in front of him. Jiao Da, with a group of Jia family servants, riding on dozens of tall and fine horses, was coming here quickly.
"Whose house is this? Why are you rushing around like that?"
Even the city gate officer was busy clearing the way at the city gate when he saw them.
As Uncle Six moved to the side, he couldn't help but ask the man next to him.
"have no idea."
The man didn't know, but someone nearby knew, "Jia family, Ningguo Mansion, the leader is Jiao Da from Ningguo Mansion."
What? Old Sixth Uncle couldn't help but look at Shen Ning.
“Madam Shen, is this your uncle?”
Granny Liu asked in a low voice.
Until this moment, she still thought that this Shen referred to her husband's family.
"yes!"
Now that I'm home, there's nothing to hide.
Shen Ning nodded.
Although it was embarrassing to be kidnapped, she managed to escape with her own intelligence! What's more, she killed another Japanese during this trip.
When Jiao Da was about to rush out of the city gate, Shen Ning, with the help of Granny Liu, stood up with a grin and shouted, "Jiao Da!"
At this time, the whip in Jiao Da's hand had just hit the horse's butt.
He was very anxious.
The wife fled to the mountains for a day and a night.
How much panic was there in this day and night?
There are many snakes and insects in the mountains.
Not to mention a noble lady like my wife, even a martial artist like Xiaodong would not be able to withstand it easily.
At this time, the horse was whipped and was speeding up. Although Jiao Da felt that someone was calling him, and the voice sounded like "madam", the people at the city gate, although they had made way, were still talking and making a lot of noise.
He thought he was hallucinating and just glanced at it casually as he passed by.
Shen Ning waved her hands hurriedly.
"Oh~~"
Jiao Da saw it clearly, pulled the reins hard, and at the same time raised his hand and gestured to stop.
But even so, his horse took three or four steps forward before stopping.
However, the old man was in good health and he jumped off the horse before it stopped.
"Madam~"
As he ran towards Shen Ning, the old man's voice was trembling with excitement.
He is old.
I cherish my family more.
The girl is still so young.
The old master and the old mistress wished so much to have a sweet and soft little girl at home, but they never saw one.
The master had to leave home again and could not watch her grow up.
If my wife can't accompany me...
How pitiful their girls are.
When Jiao Da was transferring people from the mansion, he heard Jia Yue crying.
That feeling was so painful.
"Madam, are you back?"
"Yeah!" Shen Ning nodded, "I'm back."
“Okay, okay!”
Oh my God, I finally opened my eyes.
Jiao Da wiped away the tears that were about to fall, and said to the many servants who were also busy reining in their horses: "Quick! Call a carriage and take the madam home."
"No hurry," Chen Ning was in a good mood, "Surviving death is always a happy thing, go and fetch three baskets of copper coins to add to the joy."
ah? The people at the city gate were still guessing and surprised at her identity, but they didn't expect that while meeting an important person, they could also share in the joy. In an instant, they all cheered.
At the same time, the emperor, who was reviewing memorials, also received the news sent back by Jin Muchuan.
It was a relief that Shen had escaped, but after a day and a night, she hadn't returned to Beijing yet...
The emperor sighed softly.
"Anyway, it's good news. Report it to the Queen!"
It is better to escape from the Japanese than to be tortured by them.
The emperor seriously suspected that the Japanese were not asking for money but were actually trying to exchange Shen for him.
"yes!"
Liu An waved to the third child.
The third child hurried to the harem.
"An Yi!"
"I am here!"
"Go there in person. Madam Shen can often think of things that ordinary people can't think of. Her hiding place may also be in a place that ordinary people can't think of."
The emperor looked at An Yi, "I hope she returns safely."
"yes!"
An Yi quickly exited.
The emperor picked up the pen and wanted to continue reviewing the memorials, but he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ordered, "Ask the Imperial Hospital to send someone with more necessary medicinal materials to Jin Muchuan to be on standby at any time."
"yes!"
Liu An bowed and went to deliver the message in person.
Only then did the emperor feel at ease to review the memorial he had just interrupted.
He has been in a bad mood these two days.
Especially after knowing that it was the Japanese who did it, the emperor could not wait until autumn and wanted to directly issue an order to all governments to immediately execute all the imprisoned Japanese.
It’s hateful. The Ministry of Justice will definitely not support it.
But the emperor had already decided to send an envoy to investigate the crime.
Since the Japanese king and his ministers don't want to work hard, just replace them all.
While the emperor was reviewing memorials, he was thinking about how to tell everyone in the court tomorrow, and also thinking about which people were suitable to be sent as envoys to Japan. Liu An hurried back.
"Your Majesty~"
Liu An's joy was beyond words. "Mrs. Shen is back. She came back on her own. Now she is at the city gate, celebrating her escape from death."
“Okay, okay!”
The haze in the emperor's heart was swept away, "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future, so we should be happy and blessed."
Mrs. Shen seems to be particularly fascinated by this.
When she was bringing happiness to little Yue'er, she forced everyone in the Rongguo Mansion to give them silver.
"Liu An, go and bring joy to the queen on behalf of me and her."
He doesn't have to worry about exchanging hostages.
The key point is that the emperor has always been worried that even if he agrees to the exchange, the Japanese will not spare Mrs. Shen's life in the end.
Or even if she stayed, Mrs. Shen’s health would have collapsed.
Now that he doesn't have to worry about anything, wouldn't it be better if he and the Queen could have a happy birthday? "Yes! I'll go right away."
Liu An smiled, and asked someone to carry nine baskets of copper coins, and then went over with the beating of gongs and drums.
With the Emperor and Empress's action, even those who were not well-informed knew about it now.
Those who had connections with the Jia family hurriedly ordered people to carry some copper coins.
After all, no matter how many copper coins are in a basket, how many can there be? Speaking of this basket, it can be big or small!
Those who are on good terms with the relationship will give money, while those who are not on good terms with the relationship will just watch the fun and pick up some coins to take home.
After all, this Madam Shen really survived a disaster! So, Granny Liu and her family picked up a lot of money just by picking up money at the city gate.
Especially the joy brought by the Emperor and the Empress.
Many of them spend money differently from their usual way of spending.
Granny Liu picked up everything.
The only two she knew were Wufu Dahua and Fu Lu Shou Xi. The other two, she heard from Lao Liu, were long life, wealth and prosperity, and a house full of gold and jade.
This is the Emperor and Empress, the most noble couple in the world, bringing happiness to Madam Shen.
Oh my!
They picked up the good news and also took advantage of the good news.
This kind of joy is the most practical joy for the people.
Although they couldn't stay at the city gate for too long, they saw a steady stream of dignitaries carrying money towards this side, so they hurried to inform their relatives and friends.
To prevent stampedes, the Wucheng Bingmasi prohibited any passengers from staying in the donkey cart for too long, except for the one that the Jia family had specially taken care of.
Chen Ning was afraid that Granny Liu and the others would not be satisfied with their collection, so she specially asked someone to send six small boxes over.
Now that she's back home, she certainly can't wait at the city gate all the time.
The imperial physician rushed to Ningguo Mansion and took her pulse. Fortunately, apart from the injuries on her face and feet, she was fine. Although she was a little tired, she just needed to rest for two days.
However, when Jia Zhen and Rong Ge'er rushed back after hearing the news, the imperial physician felt that they were overly worried just by looking at their faces, thinking that they might be in poor health and have a minor illness.
"Mother~"
Jia Zhen's legs went weak. When he saw his mother, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears, "Wow, my son is so scared."
If his mother was not well, he would definitely not have time to cry, and he would not dare to cry. But if his mother was fine, he could not hold it back and released all the emotions that he had suppressed during this period.
"Please ask Imperial Doctor Liu to examine him and my grandson and prescribe some tranquilizers."
When Jia Zhen cried, Shen Ning's eye sockets also felt a little hot. She patted Rong Ge'er's hand and silently comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. Grandmother is fine. Grandmother even killed another Japanese, stepped on his body and climbed out of the cellar. She hid and watched them running around like crazy looking for me."
Although this process was a bit worrying, she felt much more comfortable than the Japanese as she had food, water and shade.
Things in this world are afraid of comparison.
Because she was better than those Japanese. Apart from the pain on her feet that night when she was running for her life, there was really nothing wrong with her.
"Grandma~~"
Rong Ge'er wanted to cry, but his father burst into tears and he felt it was too embarrassing, so he didn't cry.
He just buried his head in Shen Ning’s hand, “Grandson is so scared too!”
He would rather be tied up.
He never wanted to experience again that feeling of not being able to find it, of worry and despair, of holding his breath and desperately searching, but becoming more and more scared and suffocated the more he searched.
Shen Ning felt the back of her hand getting hot, knowing that Rong Ge'er was crying too, "It's Grandma's fault, Grandma must be more careful in the future."
"No, it's my fault. I didn't protect my grandmother well."
Although he was looking for someone outside, he already knew everything about the Lai family. "It was all because of that old thing, Aunt Lai."
When Rong Ge'er first found out, he wished he could kill that family and grind them to ashes.
But there was no time, and he didn't dare stop to look for his grandmother.
"Be good, don't be angry, it's all over."
Chen Ning was comforting Rong Ge'er here. Yu Shi felt sorry for her husband and wanted to go over and drag him over, but he just hugged one of her legs and kept crying with his eyes closed.
Okay!
Yu Shi really couldn't bear to watch it, but she felt a little sorry for him, so she could only bend down and pat his back to comfort him.
Doctor Liu looked at this, then looked at that, and sighed, which was rare for him.
This family is still a bit miserable!
If Madam Shen doesn't come back, half of the sky will collapse in Ningguo Mansion.
This is what he thought and this is what he reported.
After hearing everything, the emperor waved his hand silently.
A son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there!
If his mother were still alive...
"Give Jia Zhen a half-month leave, and let him stay at home to accompany Madam Shen."
"yes!"
"Is there any news from Jin Muchuan? How is the capture of the Japanese going?"
"Three have been caught so far."
Liu An hesitated for a moment and said, "One of them said that he had four accomplices, one said that there were five, and another said that there were six."
"What did Mrs. Shen say?"
"Mrs. Shen said that when she woke up that day, she was in the cellar. She found a way to get the Japanese guard to go down. After killing the Japanese, she went up to pick up some food and drinks and ran away. Later, she found that she might not be able to outrun the pursuers, so she chose a big tree with lush branches and leaves and climbed up."
When Liu An arrived at the city gate to add blessings and happiness, Lord Dong also arrived. He followed him up to the city gate tower and heard him asking questions. "Mrs. Shen said that it was fortunate that she climbed fast. Sure enough, the Japanese chased her soon. Because the man couldn't find her, he ran back and forth countless times.
At night, they probably thought her clothes were conspicuous, and since she had no shoes, she couldn’t run far, so they pretended to be ghosts, crying and laughing in the woods…”
The emperor was stunned.
He never thought that he could pretend to be a ghost when looking for someone.
Oh, let's change him...
Imagine a sudden cry or a laugh in the woods late at night...
Hiss, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
“Isn’t Madam Shen afraid?”
"Mrs. Shen said she was a little scared, but there were Japanese people looking for her in that forest. She said she was thinking that if it was a ghost from her own family, if she met it, could she discuss it and fight the Japanese together?"
When Liu An said this, he couldn't help laughing, "As a result, when she saw the ghost, he was holding a stick and poking around in the grass, trying to scare the snake. In addition, he had a shadow under the moonlight, so she knew that it was the Japanese who pretended to be a ghost to scare her.
Then she heard ghosts crying and laughing in the middle of the night, some were far away, some were close, there were two people who came to her side, a man and a woman..."
Liu An told everything Shen Ning said to Dong Xiaoquan.
"Mrs. Shen's feet were badly injured. I heard there were quite a few blisters. She escaped all the way, avoiding one village after another, and managed to get out of it."
Liu An said: "Master Dong said that it was only her. If it was someone else, they would have been caught long ago. There are dogs in the villages at the foot of the mountain."
"…If it were anyone else, they wouldn't become a thorn in the eyes or a thorn in the flesh of the Japanese pirates!"
The emperor was very emotional.
…
At Rongguo Mansion, Grandmother Jia woke up.
The room was quiet.
"Mandarin duck~"
"Ma'am, are you awake?"
Yuanyang, who was standing at the door, heard the old lady shouting, and rushed in, supporting her in surprise, "Old lady, don't worry, everything is fine, the eldest lady of the East Mansion is back."
Are you back? Grandmother Jia grabbed her tightly and asked, "Are you really back?"
"yes!"
Yuanyang nodded vigorously, "Madam, the two aunts, the eldest grandmother, and the second grandmother are all gone now."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back."
She really couldn't feel at ease even in her dreams.
Grandmother Jia was relieved now. "How is she? Is she suffering? Have you asked the imperial physician? What did he say?"
"…I heard it's nothing serious!"
Yuanyang hesitated for a moment, but seeing the old lady staring at her, she could only continue, "People who have seen it said that the left face of the East Mansion's eldest lady was swollen, with slap marks on it, and there were many blisters on her feet, all of which were caused by running for her life."
Grandmother Jia: “…”
She couldn't help but touch her chest.
"Someone from the village sent her back. That family is somewhat related to our second grandmother."
"Good, good, good treat!"
Grandmother Jia was extremely grateful and said, "Open the warehouse and send more medicinal materials over."
