Seeing that the house was ready, Nanny Lian asked her mistress, "Madam, we should say hello to our neighbors since we just moved here. But tomorrow is Laba Festival, why don't we make Laba porridge and send it to our neighbors and say hello at the same time?"
Yang Haiyan agreed with Nanny Lian's idea, "You decide." It's different to have a helper around. Nanny Lian, who comes from a second-rank official's family, is better than Aunt Fan and others no matter how hard they try. Although Yang Haiyan trusted Aunt Fan more at first, after getting to know her, she found that Nanny Lian was more suitable for managing the yard. Unconsciously, she began to value her more.
When Nanny Lian heard that her master agreed with her, she was also happy: "Yes, then I will discuss with Aunt Fan and cook more Laba porridge tomorrow. The neighbors should send it to them, and the centurions should also send it to them." As a servant, it is not that you follow the master's words and wait for the master to give orders. Such a servant has no future. As a servant, you should listen to the master's words, be loyal to the master, and give advice to the master.
Yang Haiyan nodded: "You can do it as you see fit."
Because tomorrow is Laba, the Qin family did not celebrate Qiao Qian's wedding today, and simply put it off until tomorrow. After Qin came back from his duty, he saw that the person guarding the door was Huang Huzi, one of the private guards.
Huang Huzi stepped forward and took the reins from Qin Fang: "My Lord is back."
Qin Fang: "I am back." Then he walked inside.
Behind Qin Fang was Kunshi, who led the horse himself and went to the stable with Huang Huzi. In addition to horses, there were sheep and donkeys in the stable.
Whether it was sheep, horses or donkeys, Uncle Hong was in charge. It must be said that Uncle Hong used to be a hunter, and he knew much more about these animals than others.
Uncle Hong was not idle now. When he was free during the day, he would ask one of his private guards to go pick up firewood together. He went there in a donkey cart, and he needed someone to accompany him to transport firewood. Otherwise, he would not feel at ease if the donkey cart was parked without anyone watching. In the past, Aunt Hong was there to accompany him, but nowadays, it is inconvenient for Aunt Hong to take care of the children. Uncle Hong himself also knows that among all the servants, Aunt Hong has the easiest job because she has to take care of the children, so he does more work to not let down the kindness of the master.
Therefore, since Uncle Hong arrived, the Qin family has never lacked firewood, and the two sheep are also fat.
Kunshi: "Uncle Hong, it's here, you can eat." Uncle
Hong just took care of the donkey. Today, the donkey moved and pulled the cart several times. It was also very hard, so he wanted to comfort it. Seeing Kunshi and Huang Huzi coming over with their horses, he said, "Captain Kun and Guard Huang are here, I'll be ready soon. Captain Kun, do you want to brush your horse?"
Kunshi: "No, you brush the adults' horses, I'll brush mine." He loved his horse so much that he had to do it himself.
Huang Huzi joked, "Captain, you treat the horse like a woman."
Kunshi: "Go away, you're talking like you've used a woman before."
Huang Huzi: "Why haven't I used a woman before? My woman is in my hometown, she'll come over after the New Year." He also came here to serve in the army, but soldiers don't have monthly pay, because military service is compulsory. Now that he has become the adults' private guard, he still has a monthly pay every month, and he eats and lives here, so of course he is happy, and he also asked his wife, and his wife said he could bring his daughter-in-law with him, so he wrote a letter to his hometown.
Yang Haiyan certainly wouldn't object. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, these married private guards would follow Qin Fang for their whole lives. Would they be separated from their families?
Moreover, Qin Fang's current monthly salary was more than eight taels of silver, which was enough to support his family and these private guards. The four private guards had a monthly salary of three hundred coins, and the captain Kunshi had a monthly salary of five hundred coins, which added up to one tael, seven hundred coins a month, so Qin Fang could still afford it.
As for the other servants, Yang Haiyan's snack shop had enough income. Although it was closed for a while, after it was reopened, there would be a gross profit of ten taels of silver a month, so there was no need to worry.
She even thought that if these private guards' wives came, she would open a shop in the county city, and then let Aunt Fan go to the county city to manage the shop. Aunt Fan was a lifelong contract, so she could rest assured, and then send a private guard's wife to help. Of course, Aunt Fan was still in charge of snacks, and only Aunt Fan and Aunt Hong knew how to make snacks.
As for Aunt Hong, she continued to manage the shop here, and when she was busy, the private guard's wife could help. Anyway, there was more than one private guard, and naturally more than one wife was married.
...
Qin Fang entered the main courtyard and saw Aunt Yu guarding the gate of the courtyard. When Aunt Yu saw him, she hurriedly saluted: "The master is here." Her voice was a little soft, because of her inferiority complex, but she was much better than when she first came, at least she had gained weight. A bowl of goat milk every morning is not eaten in vain.
Aunt Yu is a person who never goes anywhere and doesn't gossip. After she finishes her rough work every day, she guards the door for Yang Haiyan. For her, she feels safe only when she has work to do.
When Yang Haiyan heard that Qin Fang was back, she put down her work. She had nothing to do, so she made some underwear for Qin Fang, mainly because Qin Fang's underwear was not worn often. Aunt Lian hurried to bring hot water for Qin Fang to wash his face. After Qin Fang washed his face, dinner was served.
The master ate here, and the servants and private guards also ate there.
Dinner was noodles with bacon and sauerkraut. Qin Fang ate two large bowls. The sauerkraut was very appetizing.
While eating, Yang Haiyan asked: "Ms. sir, tomorrow is Laba Festival. Have you prepared Laba porridge in your military camp?"
Qin Fang was stunned: "No, I have never eaten Laba porridge since I was in the military. When I was in my hometown, my family would prepare it. Speaking of which, I can go home in March next year, and I will have a month's holiday." After
Yang Haiyan heard what he said, she was also very curious about the Qin family, and even looked forward to it. After all, Grandma Qin and Mother Qin had a very good impression on her, and Qin Fang was a filial person. Although he was not stupid and filial, she very much hoped that she, Mother Qin and others could get along well with each other. "Father and mother will be happy to see that husband has grown so tall."
Qin Fang felt touched after hearing this: "I am doing well, but I don't know how they are doing."
Yang Haiyan comforted him: "You will know when you go back during the holiday next year. If they are not doing well, we will bring them over?" These words were tentative, and it was not known whether Qin Fang could hear it. Naturally, Yang Haiyan did not like to live with her parents-in-law. It was not that she was unfilial, but very few modern girls were willing to live with their parents-in-law. However, she did not object to bringing the Qin family over, and she could buy a yard in the town for them to live in. Because this was Qin Fang's obligation as the eldest son and grandson that he could not refuse. But the details would have to wait until she got along with the Qin family.
Qin Fang shook his head: "No, they won't come. Their hometown is their roots, and they won't get used to it if they leave their roots. If possible, I will go back to see them every two years. At least when grandpa and grandma are still here, my parents won't come. And they definitely won't want grandpa and grandma to come with them."
Yang Haiyan understood what he said. Qin Fang was willing to take grandpa and grandma and his family over, but he didn't plan to take other families over.
Avoiding this topic, Yang Haiyan didn't say anything: "Husband, are we going to send Laba porridge to the soldiers in your 18th district tomorrow?"
The Laba Festival has a specific meaning. In Qi State, the Laba Festival is a day to worship ancestors and gods, and pray for a good harvest and good luck. Therefore, every year on the Laba Festival, relatives and friends will send Laba porridge to each other to express their good luck to each other. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, Yang Haiyan will have to take care of the ancestor worship on the Laba Festival if Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Father Qin and Mother Qin are gone. However, the old Qin family will do it now, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
Qin Fang heard Yang Haiyan ask about the soldiers in the 18th district. He thought for a while and asked, "How much does it cost to have more than a thousand people?"
Yang Haiyan chuckled.
Qin Fang was a little embarrassed: "Don't laugh." He was serious. If it cost too much silver, then he would not prepare it for the soldiers in District 18. If he could afford it, and it was only once a year, he would naturally agree. But he was a little embarrassed by his wife's smile.
Yang Haiyan calculated that for more than a thousand soldiers, two hundred kilograms of rice would be prepared. One kilogram of rice plus the ingredients, plus a little more water, two bowls of porridge per person would not be a problem. Among the two hundred kilograms of rice, one hundred kilograms of rice and one hundred kilograms of brown rice, plus peanuts, red beans, mung beans, red dates, longans, and lentils. One hundred kilograms of rice cost six hundred coins, and one hundred kilograms of brown rice cost four hundred coins. The remaining materials cost five hundred coins, which could buy a lot, so one and a half taels of silver were enough. After calculating, Yang Haiyan said, "Two bowls of porridge per person, a total of one and a half taels of silver."
The next
day At dawn, Aunt Fan and Uncle Hong went to the county town to buy the ingredients for Laba porridge. In fact, the family originally had the ingredients, but it was only enough for them. If the more than a thousand soldiers in the military camp were added, the ingredients at home would not be enough.
When they bought the ingredients and came back, several large pots in the kitchen began to cook Laba porridge.
Speaking of which, the second-floor house has an independent kitchen, which allows Aunt Fan to show her skills well, and she is very happy. Originally, she wanted to gain face in front of the wife, but with Nanny Lian here, and Nanny Lian has more experience than her, she knows that she can't compare. But it doesn't matter, she will find another way out. Well, the kitchen is her way out. It doesn't matter that she is not as polite as Nanny Lian, as long as the food she cooks is delicious, she can still win face in front of the wife. Besides, the kitchen of a wealthy family is also managed by the wife's confidant.
It must be said that Aunt Fan's cooking skills are indeed good. Although Yang Haiyan can cook and her cooking skills are not bad, her cooking skills are good, such as good ingredients and many varieties. But Aunt Fan's cooking skills are real skills, just like modern chefs, who are not limited to making all dishes delicious. This kind of cooking skills are not limited by ingredients.
At noon, the back door of the military camp.
Several donkey carts came towards the back door of the military camp, and the soldiers at the back door immediately took precautions, fearing that something might happen. After a while, when they saw that the person in the front of the donkey cart was Uncle Hong, they breathed a sigh of relief because they knew Uncle Hong. He was a servant of Qin Qianhu. Before the winter disaster, he would deliver food to Qin Qianhu every day.
The donkey cart of the Qin family would definitely not be able to handle the Laba porridge for more than a thousand people, so Yang Haiyan rented a donkey cart in the town, and the Laba porridge team led by Uncle Hong came in a mighty manner.
Uncle Hong got off the donkey cart and respectfully came to the soldiers: "Hello, officers, can you please call my master?"
One of the soldiers said: "No problem, I'll go and call him, Uncle Hong, wait a moment."
Another soldier asked curiously: "Uncle Hong, are all these people in the team your people?"
Uncle Hong said: "Yes, today is Laba Festival, and my wife has brought Laba porridge to the soldiers of the 18th district."
The soldiers next to him heard it and immediately became envious.
Uncle Hong smiled and said: "If the officers don't mind, my wife has prepared some for you too.
The soldiers were immediately happy and said: "Don't mind, don't mind, I'll go get the bowl."
"Bring my bowl too. "
Qin Fang came out, not only did he come out, but he also called ten centurions from the 18th district to carry porridge. At first, Han Zhen and other centurions didn't know why Qin Fang asked them to come over. When they saw the buckets of porridge on the donkey cart, they thought, "Oh my god, it's Laba porridge."
The ten centurions from the 18th district carried Laba porridge several times just by going back and forth. You know, porridge occupies a lot of weight and area, which is different from the previous snacks. And such a large formation is known to everyone in the whole district. Some soldiers asked curiously, and learned that it was the wife of Qin Qianfu who brought them Laba porridge. They were all grateful. Very excited.
Soon, General Ao knew about this matter. He thought to himself, this daughter-in-law of Qin Fang's family is really good at dealing with people. However... General Ao also shamelessly came to mix in the Laba porridge. When General Ao came, other generals who got the news also came to join in the fun.
Since Yang Haiyan came to deliver Laba porridge, the ingredients inside were naturally not bad. The red dates and longans were precious ingredients, but peanuts, red beans, mung beans, these slightly cheaper ingredients, were sufficient.
After the soldiers finished two bowls of Laba porridge, although they were not full, they were satisfied enough.
Family
room Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Fan and others to deliver Laba porridge to the families of the ten centurions, including Lu Saozi and Yang Dahua, and also to the families of the nine thousand-man families under General Ao. When Aunt Fan and others delivered the porridge, they also took back a bunch of gifts, including Laba porridge.
After the people from District 18 finished their shift, Yang Baifu, Lu Baifu and others returned home and told the women at home about what happened in District 18 today.
Lu Saozi sighed: "Haiyan is a smart person. When she lived next door, she always knew how to behave. The two young men at home drink the goat milk she gives them every day, and even I drink a lot of it. This goat milk is really nourishing. "
Lu Baifu watched his wife look much better after drinking the goat's milk, and said with
a smile: "I gave it to you, and you said good things about people, then we must owe them." Mrs. Lu glared at him and said: "Look at what you said, Haiyan said that if the goat's milk is not finished in this hour, it will have no nutrition and will be poured out. Now, it will be a waste if it is poured out, so we will give it to everyone to drink. If she used it for business, how could I take advantage of her? You don't know, she not only drinks it herself, but also her servants, so I won't be polite. "
Lu Baifu could see that his wife had a very good impression of Qin Fang's family.
This topic was not only discussed by one family, but also by Yang Baifu's family. Yang Baifu's wife said, "That's right. She comes from a wealthy family and is very smart. She sent us eggs the other day. Although she asked for money, she got them from the countryside, so it's thoughtful of her to remember us."
Of course, people praised her and some people gossiped, "She is a good person, but she has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it."
Or other wives of centurions, "This person really knows how to win people's hearts. Isn't this making things difficult for you? "
But Yang Haiyan could not hear what others said, nor did she take it to heart. Even if she won people's hearts for her man, so what?
Yang Haiyan thought that the Laba Congee incident was over, but the next day, Qin Fang and Kunshi came back from their duty, and they had four bundles of firewood on their horses, two bundles each.
Yang Haiyan heard what Aunt Fan said and went to see it. When she was eating, she asked Qin Fang: "What? Did you and Kunshi go to pick up firewood?"
How could Qin Fang have the time? He said, "The soldiers went to collect firewood last night when they were off duty, and they also went to collect some more at noon today when they were resting, so each person collected a bundle."
Yang Haiyan was really amused and said, "They are so thoughtful."
Qin Fang continued, "Madam, wait, there are more than a thousand bundles of firewood piled up in District 18. Let Uncle Hong go to collect them tomorrow." More than a thousand people, one bundle each, more than a thousand bundles.
Yang Haiyan was shocked: "One bundle a day, it can burn for three years."
Early the next morning, Uncle Hong went to collect firewood, ten bundles a trip, and it took more than half a month. This matter shook the whole family. Some people who were good at calculating could not help but calculate. A bundle of firewood cost ten cents. If they bought more than a thousand bundles of firewood, they would need ten taels of silver. After calculating, they could not help but say: This Laba porridge is a good deal.
So, some wives of the centurion's family calculated that when they met a certain day in the next year, they would also send some food to the soldiers under their husbands. If they collected more than a thousand bundles of firewood and sold them, they could earn ten taels of silver. Wouldn't it be a good deal?
However, they did not have this opportunity, because when the New Year came, Yang Haiyan broke their hopes again.
The Qin family had been pulling firewood for most of the month. It was December 23rd, and the New Year was coming soon.
On this day, Yang Haiyan, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened.
Nanny Lian knocked on the door and said, "Madam, the master is back."
Yang Haiyan put on a long cotton poncho in a daze and went to open the door. Qin Fang had already entered the main courtyard and saw Yang Haiyan standing at the door. He strode over and said, "Did I wake you up? Go back to bed."
Yang Haiyan pulled her clothes and asked in confusion, "Aren't you on duty tonight? You should be in the barracks now, why are you back?"
This was not a big secret, so Qin Fang said bluntly, "Something happened in the Marquis' Mansion, and the young master was kidnapped."
Qin Fang didn't know that his words were undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue to Yang Haiyan. Her head was buzzing and her face turned pale in an instant. Qin Fang thought she was frightened and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, you go and rest for a while, I'm going back to the county to see the prince. The prince is worried that others are not doing their best, so he asked General Ao and me to go back to the county. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow, I will be back, and the young master will be rescued."
Yang Haiyan hurriedly grabbed Qin Fang's hand: "Who kidnapped the young master, was it the barbarians outside the pass?"
Qin Fang said: "Yes, the barbarians kidnapped the young master and were discovered halfway, but they ran away and are now hiding in the county."
Yang Haiyan took a deep breath: "Then you go quickly, I'll wait for you at home, you be careful."
Qin Fang: "Don't worry."
As soon as Qin Fang left, Yang Haiyan went to the study and took out paper and pen.
Yang Haiyan touched her chest which was pounding non-stop. She tried to calm herself down, because the more nervous she was, the more she couldn't think about the plot. She gasped for breath, and after a while, she gradually calmed down. Originally, because Qin Fang was not a character in the plot, and his arrival changed things about Qin Fang, she didn't think about the plot, but now it seems that the plot is still going on.
According to the original plot, the selection of the thousand-man competition was after the young master was kidnapped, and the selection of the thousand-man competition was just to make the male protagonist Han Zhen become the thousand-man more legitimate. After she came, the selection of the thousand-man competition had already ended, and the kidnapping of the young master did not happen, so she thought it would not happen.
But in fact, the situation took a big turn tonight.
Yang Haiyan began to write down on paper: The young master was kidnapped and was discovered by Yang Dahua in the county town. Those barbarians hid in a den in the county town. It was Yang Dahua who provided information to the people in the Marquis' Mansion, so Yang Dahua showed up in front of the prince's wife and left a good impression.
Later, the young master was secretly rescued, and some of those barbarians were killed, and some escaped from the county town. After escaping from the county town, they fled to the family house because of the pursuit of the Marquis' Mansion. In fact, which family in the town is not easy to hide? Why did they hide secretly in the family house? Because the family house is the territory of the military camp, it is the safest place. It is also the most wary of the soldiers.
After they hid in the family room, they hid in the house of a centurion with a son. They used the centurion's son to threaten the centurion's family, not to expose their news.
Unfortunately, this family was next to Yang Dahua's house, so they were discovered by Yang Dahua again. Yang Dahua told Han Zhen about the clues. Han Zhen led people to surround the yard. At this time, the centurion was about to send these people away, and told them the layout of the Yongzhou military camp. Human nature has weaknesses, and some people's weaknesses are their own children. Han Zhen and others originally surrounded them
secretly and wanted to rescue the children, but when they found that the centurion was going to take people away, they had to act. As soon as they appeared, the scene was in chaos. The centurion's family was killed, and of course, those people were also arrested.
After several interrogations, we learned that there were two reasons why they took action to capture the young master.
First: Marquis Yonghe was not in Yongzhou. Marquis Yonghe was upright and selfless. If he was there, their threat to the young master might not be effective. But when he was not there, the crown prince was in power. As the biological father of the young master, the crown prince was naturally different from Marquis Yonghe. The reason why Marquis Yonghe was not there was because the new emperor ascended the throne and called him back, and the country would change the reign title after the year. Marquis Yonghe had 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so the new emperor would naturally want to win him over, or for other reasons.
Second: Something happened in Yongzhou when the new emperor ascended the throne. This was a blow to the new emperor. Maybe the new emperor would be furious and hold the family of Marquis Yonghe accountable. When the new generals were sent, they might not have the backbone of Marquis Yonghe, and Yongzhou might be taken down.
Yes, the new emperor ascended the throne before the New Year. In fact, the Yang family fell into trouble, the maid changed from a slave to a good citizen and then betrothed to a soldier, the nanny took the prince away and the new emperor ascended the throne. There is a series of relationships.
Four years ago, the new emperor was the most favored prince of the previous emperor, and was the Prince of Yuan at that time. Yuan is the first, so the harem and even the court all agreed that Prince Yuan was the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince, and the emperor did not hide this idea. In order to fight for the throne, the faction supporting other princes naturally wanted to destroy Prince Yuan. But the emperor trusted Prince Yuan very much, and the calculations in other places were avoided by Prince Yuan one by one. Instead, they planned a more vicious conspiracy, and this conspiracy was related to Princess Yuan. Once, Prince Yuan and Princess Yuan entered the palace, and Princess Yuan was calculated to have a relationship with the emperor and became the emperor's woman.
The trust and feelings between father and son were directly destroyed.
Although the emperor loved Prince Yuan, Prince Yuan also knew that this was a conspiracy. However, no man could tolerate his beloved woman being slept with by someone else, especially when that person was his father. For the emperor, he could not let his son sleep with the woman he had slept with again. This was the emperor's authority. Moreover, even if Princess Yuan was not wrong in this matter, in the eyes of the emperor, she was not qualified to be Prince Yuan's princess.
So, Princess Yuan died of illness, and the emperor had an inconspicuous concubine in his backyard. Not long after, the emperor sent this concubine to the cold palace on false charges.
Although Prince Yuan never showed it on the surface, he often went to the cold palace secretly. The two loved each other, but they were tortured by reality. They couldn't help themselves and couldn't control themselves. After a few more times, Princess Yuan in the cold palace had a child. Because of Prince Yuan's protection, Princess Yuan's affairs were not exposed.
As for the emperor, he felt that he was ashamed of his son, so he pointed out a powerful relative for him. The news of Prince Yuan's wedding would naturally spread to the cold palace. Princess Yuan, who was originally in love, sobered up after knowing Prince Yuan's wedding. From then on, she avoided Prince Yuan and wanted to cut off the relationship.
Therefore, Prince Yuan's determination to seize the throne was accelerated. He felt that only if he became the emperor, the beloved woman could return to his side.
Four years later, this year, the battle for the throne began. The powerful Prince Yuan became the biggest winner, and the Yang family, which supported other princes, was defeated. However, when Prince Yuan was fighting fiercely for the throne and there was a bloody fight inside and outside the palace, Princess Yuan asked her trusted nanny to take the child away from the palace during the chaos. After the child escaped, she committed suicide.
Princess Yuan had a plan in mind. If Prince Yuan failed and others succeeded, the fact that she gave birth to a child in the cold palace would be exposed, and then she would lose her head. If Prince Yuan succeeded, even if her child would not die, this identity would be embarrassing. She didn't want her son to live in such a place all his life, which ruined the place where she lived all her life. She wanted her son to live in a free world outside. With the carefulness of the nanny and the money she asked the nanny to take away, her son could even be a small landlord.
The nanny did run away with the child. After she escaped, she settled the child and returned to the palace. Then she left the palace openly on the grounds that the concubine had died and the palace had dismissed the maids. Then she brought the child to Yongzhou, the territory of Yonghe Hou. The new emperor never thought that the child would be with a maid who was dismissed from the palace, and finally with Han Zhen who became a general.
After that, the nanny took the prince and lived a small life in Han Zhen's Qianfu Mansion. Until Han Zhen's merits became more and more, the family went to the capital, and the nanny was inadvertently recognized by the new emperor.
Knowing that the prince was still alive, the new emperor began to plan for him and arranged a reasonable identity first. He found a girl among the people who got pregnant before marriage more than ten years ago, and because of that girl's pregnancy before marriage, she drowned in the river. No one knew what happened to the girl after she drowned in the river, so others had no way to find out about the child's origin. As for the girl's family, they had long been arranged by the new emperor to leave there. Therefore, people from other factions in the court could not find any stains on the prince.
Moreover, in the eyes of others, the affair between the prince's biological mother and the new emperor was just a romantic affair. Although the prince's biological mother died, she was posthumously named a concubine by the new emperor, and there was no difference between her and the princes born to other concubines.
Princes are different from other children. There are no illegitimate princes. Illegitimate children are an insult to the emperor, so there are only legitimate princes and illegitimate princes. In an ordinary family, the child born to the head of the family and a woman outside is not even as good as a illegitimate son.
That prince became a concubine prince, but he had Han Zhen, the Yonghe Marquisate, and the emperor's favor behind him. The new emperor who had come from usurping the throne was not the kind of emperor who was easily influenced by others. He was decisive in killing. He made the son born by his beloved woman the crown prince, and he would not allow anyone to object.
Yang Haiyan recalled the general direction of the plot and was deeply frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. She was not scared because of the nanny and the prince. As long as she didn't say it, there would be no danger of murder if she knew such a secret history of the palace. She was afraid because of Yang Dahua. Although she didn't know whether the person who kidnapped the young master would escape to the family room, if he hid in the family room and hid next to Yang Dahua's house, then... "Nanny Lian... Nanny Lian..." Yang Haiyan ran out in a panic.
"Madam?" Nanny Lian was waiting outside. Her master was in the study, so she naturally would not go to sleep. When she saw that Yang Haiyan looked a little flustered, she hurried forward to support her with concern, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare after taking a short break?" Yang Haiyan had been sorting out the plot in the study for a while. Nanny Lian thought she had taken a rest, and she was flustered because she had a nightmare.
Yang Haiyan shook her head: "Madame Lian, you heard what the master said just now. Because of the young master's matter, I'm afraid that the people in the county are in a panic. I'm worried that the barbarians have escaped from the county and come to our town. You should go to Han Baifu's house quickly, take two private guards with you, and pick up Sister Dahua." Although she had a clear conscience about the change in the plot, she didn't want Yang Dahua to have an accident. Putting aside the plot, they can be regarded as friends.
Madam Lian: "Yes, don't worry, I will go right away."
Although Madam Lian went to pick up Yang Dahua, Yang Haiyan was not at ease. She walked back and forth in the yard until she finally heard footsteps outside. She then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nanny Lian and Yang Dahua coming back.
Yang Dahua also saw Yang Haiyan and called out, "Haiyan..."
Yang Haiyan calmed down and said, "Sister Dahua, I was worried that it was not safe outside, so I asked someone to bring you here. You were not scared, were you?"
Yang Dahua was still puzzled, "No, what's going on? Just now, Nanny Lian came to call me and said that something happened in the county city. You were worried about my situation and asked me to come here."
Because Yang Dahua didn't know about the young master, Yang Haiyan didn't say anything. But the fact that the barbarians sneaked into the county city was definitely not a secret in the county city. Qin Fang was called in late at night, so of course he had to search the county city, so it didn't hurt to tell Yang Dahua about this, so she said. "A barbarian has sneaked into the county town, and my husband has been called to the county town to discuss something. I'm worried that the barbarian will take advantage of the situation and escape. If he escapes to our family's house, it will be extremely unsafe for you as a pregnant woman, so I asked Nanny Lian to go and call you over."
When Yang Dahua heard this, she was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat: "What's going on in the county town?"
Yang Haiyan patted her hands: "I don't know either. I guess we won't know until tomorrow. Sister Dahua, you shouldn't be overworked while carrying a child. You should go and rest first." Besides, she didn't want to talk too much with Yang Dahua. She wanted to know what happened to the young master, and also wanted to know whether the barbarian would escape here.
Yang Dahua didn't say much, and nodded: "Then I'll go."
Nanny Lian took Yang Dahua to the west chamber. In the yard, apart from Aunt Yu who was guarding the gate, Yang Haiyan was the only one left. She returned to her room, but she didn't want to sleep. She sat in the quilt waiting for Qin Fang to come back, wanting to know the situation as soon as possible.
County City, Yonghe Marquis Mansion.
Yonghe Marquis's son: "Old Ao, Qin Fang, the barbarians have captured my son. I have to go back to the barracks to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack. Those bastards took advantage of my father's absence to do such a despicable thing. The guards of my mansion have searched the entire county and city, and I have handed them over to you in private. We should deal with them at the same time."
General Ao and Qin Fang: "Yes."
