Chapter 406 You are mean to me! Whose child is this?
Ji Qingwu said: "I believe you, but Xijin is fighting with us now, and Longzhou is only a few hundred miles away from the northern border. I'm afraid the governor has no time to take care of us."
If Ji Qingwu remembered correctly, Ji Changlin's map showed that Longzhou was the reserve base for food and fodder for the army.
However, due to locust plagues in successive years and a decrease in grain production, the food and fodder for the northern border military camps were supplied by Youzhou in the southwest.
Connection with the North has been cut off.
Longzhou is now a place of trouble, and Su Fengyue has many accomplices left here, which is why Li Chengxun wants to be an official in Longzhou.
He went there with the emperor's order to eliminate dissidents.
Su Fengyue is colluding with Xijin, and it is hard to say whether the officials of Longzhou are on the same side as Beili.
Therefore, it is still unknown whether these provincial soldiers will obey Princess Qingyun.
Instead of pinning your hopes on being rescued by others, it is better to find a way yourself.
But before that, Ji Qingwu still had a doubt that needed to be confirmed as soon as possible, but she had to wait until the second half of the night, after she met Sihai.
Chunhua said disappointedly: "That's right, it's good enough to be alive now, one day longer is better than another."
Ji Qingwu was just about to say that there was no need to be so pessimistic when the door was kicked open.
The little bandit came again, holding a tobacco leaf in his mouth, and said, "Our boss and his wife are coming over, you two should pack up quickly and wait at the door."
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, so Ji Qingwu could only help Chunhua up, and the two of them stood by the door.
Not long after, a large group of people arrived.
Walking in front was a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes who was surrounded by a crowd of people.
The woman's clothes were made of the finest silk, and her belly was bulging high, indicating that she was about to give birth.
She wore gold and jade ornaments wherever her skin was exposed, but it did not make her look vulgar. Instead, it made her look more luxurious and gorgeous.
Ji Qingwu's gaze was fixed on her face, between her two willow-leaf eyebrows, she also had a Jiaotang flower ornament on her head.
She withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at the ground.
Ji Qingwu was able to recognize this flower ornament because she was bored in the clinic a few days ago and saw Ji Qingrong dressed like this. She then realized that this makeup was the most fashionable in Lin'an nowadays.
She felt more and more puzzled. In a mountain valley thousands of miles away from Lin'an, this "madam" could know everything about Lin'an. She should not be underestimated.
Hu Lie also came with her.
"Call the nurse out and show her to the lady."
Qi Peiyao did not go into the house, but placed a beauty couch at the door and leaned on it lazily.
Behind her stood a large group of Black Wind Village's men, and Hu Lie stood beside her, looking very impressive.
Qi Peiyao stroked her hair and said, "Stand out and let me see."
Chunhua took two steps forward, her calves still shaking.
The little bandit nodded and bowed, even more respectfully than he had been to Hu Lie, and said, "Madam, look at this girl, she is clean-cut and well-proportioned, and she just gave birth, and she still has her first milk, which is exactly what you want."
Qi Peiyao glanced at him, making him lower his head guiltily.
She looked at the bright nail polish on her nails and said, "She is so timid. If my child drinks her milk, will he become as timid as a mouse?"
Little Bandit: "This, this can't be possible. This woman just gave birth. Maybe she is weak and her legs are shaking."
Qi Peiyao raised her hand and said, "I don't like her. I'll find another one."
Hu Lie said anxiously, "Oh, auntie! You were not satisfied with the three we caught last month. You either picked on them because they were too fat or too thin, or because of their milk. In the end, you threw them all away in the back hill."
Qi Peiyao pointed her finger at his face, frowned and said aggrievedly: "You are mean to me."
These three words were extremely powerful, and Hu Lie immediately shut his mouth because he knew what kind of trouble would follow these words.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, madam."
When the young bandit saw that Hu Lie was defeated, he ordered his men to take away the wet nurse who was not in the Madam's eyes.
"Pull her down and throw her to the back hill to die."
Chunhua's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground crying and begging them.
Ji Qingwu said: "No."
The sound was not loud, just loud enough for Qi Peiyao who was lying on the beauty bed to hear.
She held her chin with her hand and asked, "What did you say?"
Ji Qingwu said: "I said no, breast milk will not affect the child's personality."
Qi Peiyao raised her willow-shaped eyebrows: "Who is this person?"
The little bandit said, "Madam, this is the midwife I found for you."
"So young?"
Qi Peiyao's eyes swept over her body, and Ji Qingwu just let her look at her, without moving, not even her breathing was disordered.
Qi Peiyao nodded and said with satisfaction: "This is good. A midwife should be calm and steady. I don't want a panicky and petty one."
Chunhua's body was shaking like a sieve. Ji Qingwu said again: "Madam, there are also babies who grew up drinking goat's milk and cow's milk. They don't bleat or moo like animals, but speak human language. It can be seen that it will not affect the children."
This time, Qi Peiyao looked at Ji Qingwu carefully.
"You are a man with interesting words."
She still chose to trust her instincts and said, "This wet nurse is no good. Replace her and find a new one. Don't keep her in my eyes!"
"No, don't let Yao'er mess around!"
Two more people walked over from a distance. The middle-aged man in front wore a felt hat and a silver-gray cloak, and his voice was rough and powerful.
Everyone said, "Big Boss."
Ji Qingwu quickly lowered his head to reduce his presence.
Hu Feng walked towards Qi Peiyao and said, "The birth date is almost here. We need to quickly prepare a wet nurse, otherwise our child will be left starving."
Ji Qingwu blinked. Their child...
Isn’t this woman pregnant with Hu Lie’s child? Is it the boss?
Hu Feng walked to the beauty's bed, untied his cloak and wrapped it around Qi Peiyao.
He admonished, "The clothes in the imperial city are not good at all. They look thin and airy. It would be better to wear something thicker."
Qi Peiyao seemed a little afraid of Hu Feng. She just glared at him with dissatisfaction but did not refuse.
Behind Hu Feng followed a fair-skinned young man who was dressed more elegantly than them and held a white feather fan.
"Brother, you don't understand this, right? This is the snow-blue shirt that the girls from the noble families in Lin'an love the most. One inch of the fabric is worth one ingot of gold."
Hu Lie thought that one ingot of gold could be exchanged for five jars of good wine, so he said, "Brother, it's all because my third brother brought these things back to Madam first, otherwise she wouldn't be fascinated by these things."
The third brother Hu Chen walked to the couch and handed the feather fan in his hand to Qi Peiyao.
He said with a smile: "I brought things to Yaoyao because she likes them. I am not like you, my second brother, who always acts according to your own preferences."
"If Yaoyao is not satisfied with this nurse, then just get rid of her. The child is not as important as Yaoyao's mood."
Qi Peiyao nodded: "That's right, I don't like this wet nurse."
"Don't mess around with Yao'er!"
Hu Feng frowned and said, "This is our first child. We must prepare thoroughly and cannot take this risk."
Ji Qingwu took a breath.
This child, I really can't tell whose it is...
