Leaning on the rail and smiling at Liu Niang

On the second day, Zhaodi and Liu Niang started a cold war. Although she still took good care of Liu Niang, it was a pity that she always kept a straight face and didn't talk to Liu Niang easily, even if she ran into Liu Niang while cleaning the house , also pretending not to see, walked around silently with a feather duster, Zhaodi went to the kitchen to bring food, one of them ate inside, and the other ate outside, counting the grains of rice with his head buried.

Liu Niang felt a little wronged in her heart, she felt that her anger was just to vent her anger, originally it had nothing to do with Zhao Di, she wanted to apologize to her, but she couldn't save face, every time she saw Zhao Di came into the house to work, Then she picked up Nuhong and pretended to move her hands, and sneaked a glance at Zhaodi with her eyes, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.

These things made Liu Niang's brain explode. Da Lang, Ping Jun, and Zhao Di, these messy things disturbed her spirits, and she even felt that there was no worse moment in her life than now .

It's best not to think about it, because whenever you think about it, there are always worse things waiting for you.

Liu Niang thought that she might make Ping Jun angry that she ran all the way back from the main courtyard like this, not to mention the "wonderful" conversation she had with Ping Jun before she ran back. Even more irritable than her, but she didn't think that Jun Ping might not just be angry, maybe she was already rethinking the relationship between the two of them.

Because Pingjun sent Xingren'er to Xiaoxiangyuan directly, he specially called the girls in Xiaoxiangyuan and told them not to go to the main courtyard to pay their respects these days, saying that Pingjun was a little busy.

When Xing Ren'er said this, all the people in Xiaoxiangyuan were present. After hearing this, everyone's faces were very exciting. Raising his eyebrows, even Miss Zhang glanced at Liu Niang in shock.

At that time, Liu Niang only felt a buzzing in her head, and she lost all feeling in her hands and feet, so she could only look at Xing Ren'er in a daze.

Xing Ren'er couldn't bear it, she was silent for a while, and only smiled consolingly at Liu Niang, blessed Fushen apologetically, turned and left.

As soon as Xingren'er left, the people from Xiaoxiangyuan couldn't hold back and surrounded her with each other. Even Miss Zhang, who was always steady and mature, was a little pale. She thought it was just a bickering. Surrounded by the two of them, Liu Niang answered Miss Xie with a bewildered expression.

"No...I don't know."

Miss Xie's eyebrows were about to stand up, and she shouted: "Don't you know that the trouble has become like this? You, think about it, what's going on?"

Liu Niang listened to Miss Xie anxiously asking what happened to her and Niangzi, she thought for a long time, but felt numb in her mind, couldn't think clearly for a while, and could only stand in the room in a daze In the middle, he repeated "I don't know" over and over in his mouth.

The turmoil in Zhao's mansion is not on the table for the time being, the anger in Chang'an City is becoming more and more tense, all kinds of gossip are spreading, and some people say that the Tartars have already attacked Chang'an City, and they are going to kill Chang'an City outside the city. The siege, the people will starve to death, and some people say that the army has been sent, the Tartars have been beaten far away, and they will be driven back to the grassland. The citizens are in the news of these changes every day, and they only feel panic Not all day long, from time to time, I heard that a family of five hanged in the main room early because they were afraid of the Tartars breaking the city, and another family gave up all their property and only packed up the gold and silver. ran south.

Prices in the city are rising more and more in this somewhat abnormal atmosphere of fear, and those rice shops that want to make a fortune for the country have closed down early, no matter how many people line up at the door every day, they are clenching their teeth Don't open the door, just wait for the food shortage in the city to grow and the price will get worse, and use the food that was hoarded earlier to make huge profits.

The people above did not come out to speak for a long time, but took a few rogues who said that the Tartars were besieging the city, pushed them out and chopped them up, and asked the little yellow gate to call out the big Chen Guoyun Changlong Yunyun, these measures could not relieve the people's increasingly tense tension. Nerves and people's hearts are even more unstable.

At this time, Chang'an City seemed like a barrel of explosives, which could be detonated with only one spark missing.

In fact, things are not so good, and it is not to the point of breaking the city for the time being. Da Chen's army is still fighting with the Tartars, but they are just fighting and retreating. The warlord and the elders of the two factions scolded to the point of spitting, and the younger ones were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but they still couldn't come up with a final charter.

The monarch of Dachen couldn't sit still anymore. He pursued the glory after death the most. He was afraid that the country would be lost in his own hands, and it would be difficult to meet his ancestors in the future. Soldiers rushed to the front with the hope of the whole country.

On the day when the elite troops guarding Chang'an City left Chang'an, the powder keg in Chang'an City finally exploded.

And this moment, which was destined to be recorded in the history books, quietly involved the most ordinary little lady.

Chang'an City has always been a prosperous and prosperous place. The people here have never had the habit of hoarding a lot of food at one go. Since the news spread that the Tartars are going to invade, food has become too tight However, the family that Liu Niang's aunt married into later was also struggling.

Mrs. Sun is a virtuous and cowardly woman. Thinking of her daughter's difficulties, she really doesn't want to bother Liu Niang too much. She just wants to spend her life saving money. Her later husband, Qin Dazhu, is also an honest and good man. Like a bright mirror, she is considerate of Sun's feelings, and doesn't mention Liu Niang's affairs. Instead, she often urges Sun to send some female celebrities to Liu Niang, but she works hard every day from morning to night to support her family. Sun loves her husband and follows her out Doing things to subsidize the family, although the two of them have said bad things, they still have a bowl of food to eat.

It's a pity that God's wishes failed. At this juncture, Mrs. Sun suddenly found out that she was pregnant. This was both joy and worry. Qin Dazhu was nearly forty years old and didn't have a child. It was a great thing to finally conceive a child, but After all, Mrs. Sun is no longer young. After she became pregnant, she was even more tired from doing a little work, and often vomited in a mess. Sometimes Qin Dazhu couldn't even go out to do work, so he could only watch Mrs. Sun at home, close to him Taking care of her, the family bought everything they could buy in exchange for food, but they were destitute.

In the kitchen, Qin Dazhu put the last bucket of rice in the pot, stood still, staring at the empty rice jar in a daze.

Mrs. Sun came in rubbing her waist and saw this scene, as if she had been hit in the chest by something, she felt sore that she was about to wrinkle.

The daughter is her heart and soul, but the child in her belly and the lover in front of her eyes are also the softest part of her heart. Madam Sun touched her belly and secretly made up her mind.

Receiving A Niang's letter was originally one of Liu Niang's happiest things, but today's letter made her restless. Sun told the whole situation of her family and mentioned that she was pregnant. Euphemistically and apologetically, he asked Liu Niang for help.

A Niang is going to add a younger brother or sister to herself again. This is the first thing Liu Niang thought of. When she was in the Li family, she didn't get along very well with Li Adi. She still envies the caring brothers and sisters in her heart. Liu Niang's contemporaries, the re-pregnancy of A Niang after many years rekindled her ambition to be a good sister, and the haze that had shrouded Liu Niang's heart for many days finally dissipated.

Then she thought of the matter that A Niang mentioned that there was no more rice for the pot. Liu Niang gritted her teeth and decided to take the initiative to go to the main courtyard to ask Ping Jun for help. Under the steps, explain to yourself that it's for A Niang, not because I couldn't resist looking for Ping Jun.

It has to be said that since ancient times, the upper classes have never worried about making a living. No matter how difficult the people in the city are, the food expenses of Liu Niang and the others are still the same as usual. Everything is singing and dancing, and even a little girl can easily afford the cost of helping a poor family. In fact, Liu Niang doesn't have to go to Ping Jun for this kind of thing.

"No way, I'm a girl, how can I be the master of this."

Liu Niang briskly patted some rouge on her face, and said to herself secretly.

She found the first piece of clothing that Mr. Ping gave her after she entered the mansion, put it on carefully, took a few deep breaths, and mustered up the courage to go to the main courtyard.

Mr. Ping is not here.

Liu Niang listened to Xing Ren'er's apologetic words in embarrassment, which made her suddenly feel that she was smeared with rouge and solemnly dressed like an actor, which was very ridiculous.

She wondered for a moment whether Jun Ping didn't want to see her on purpose, but she quickly forced herself to let go of this thought, forced a smile and told Xing Ren'er about her visit, Xing Ren'er hurriedly said that she would send someone to send her there.

Liu Niang hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Can I go there in person? My aunt is pregnant again, I am worried and want to go and see her."

Xing Ren'er took a quick look at the back room, then smiled softly and said: "Then I'll prepare a car for the girl and ask A Li to take you there."

Liu Niang nodded sullenly, and beeped, Ah Li hurried forward to greet Liu Niang, and led Liu Niang out of the courtyard.

Xing Ren'er stood in the main room and watched them go away, then glanced at the back room, shook her head and sighed.
