Red House Farm Stay

"That's right, don't listen to the elder brother and the others. They can't influence the decision of the official department. The elder sister is also true. Once you hear what the elder brother says, you will pay out. After you take office, it is often time to pay out You don't know, my father is outside, and every year the family pays money."

Seeing that Jia Lan didn't speak, Li Rong patted his head in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, I know you don't want to listen, so I won't say anything."

"No, no, I was distracted just now. I know you are concerned about our mother and son. I am very sorry that my affairs have troubled you and troubled your entire family." Jia Lan could already sit up. The person recovered quickly, and from the look of his face, he was no longer as weak as before.

"Do we need to talk about this between us? It's just that I didn't expect that you would still remember Jia's house." Li Rong touched the tip of his nose, "Back then you had a second uncle Bao, but he was very famous."

"He is an idiot, but also a real person. He is out of tune with this world. Buddhism may be the best place for him." Jia Lan didn't want to talk about it. At that time, he brought up the matter of Jia's mansion, but it was just a fool, and only he knew In fact, he and Jia's family did not have as deep a relationship as others imagined.

As long as he can remember, he has only had his mother in his life. The elders in Jia's mansion are good to their mother and child, but the little people are the best at distinguishing the true feelings of others.This goodness is only out of pity for his father's early death, and it is completely different from the inner love for Uncle Bao.

He could see this from the eyes of those people.He is more willing to listen to his mother's words, learn literary and martial arts well, and not be attached to Jia's life.

Who would have imagined that the building would fall down as soon as it was said, with a "bang", and all the beauty, beauty, and unfulfilled ambitions would all be ruined.

Withdrawing her own thoughts, Jia Lan smiled at Li Rong and said, "If you don't think I'm bored here, you can have dinner with me. I've grown fat from drinking soup every day, so hurry up and help me drink more." a little."

"Okay, I'll try Big Sister's handicraft." Li Rong was afraid that he would be depressed because of unexpected things, so he often came to talk to him and enlighten him. Seeing that his spirit was really better, he sat down happily .

As soon as he took a sip, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and the servant next to Li Rong walked in anxiously.

"Why are you in such a panic, there are no rules." Brother Rong looked at his servant dissatisfied.

"Master, Master Xu escaped back, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's going to die..."

"What, it can't be done, what do you mean it can't be done, didn't he go out to run a business with his uncle?" Li Rong stood up suddenly and knocked over the soup bowl in his hand.

"Go and take a look, I'm fine here, come back if you have anything to do, and we'll find a way." Jia Lan hurriedly let him go first.

Li Rong pleaded guilty and left in a hurry.

The servant followed Li Rong and replied: "The people around Young Master Xu are waiting outside, please go and see their young master for the last time."

"What about the last side? It's so serious. As for the doctor, call the best doctor in the county to go, and tie him up too. I'll go to Xu's house first, and you go to the warehouse to get ginseng, and tell grandma that I want it. Yes, for saving lives."

Li Rong came to the gate in three steps at a time. When he met Xu Shouzi's boy, he looked like a disaster victim who was not allowed to enter the city. The young man went back to fetch the ginseng and chased after him one step later.

He followed Xu Shouzi's boy to Xu's house, and there was indeed a lot of crying. The smell of medicine and ginseng mixed together, and the strong smell made the whole air change color.

Fatty Xu, who had ginseng, finally regained some strength. When he saw Li Rong coming, he smiled and said in front of everyone in the Xu family and Li Rong: "Fox, I'm afraid I have to go first, Prince Zhongshun!" Colluding with pirates to rebel, hurry up, hurry up and report to the court."

He tilted his head and passed out, the Xu family was in chaos again.But this time, the panic caused by Fatty Xu's coma was far less than the panic caused by the news he brought back.

Hearing the words collusion and rebellion, the Xu family subconsciously wanted to order everyone to silence, as if they knew nothing.But when he saw Li Rong who was standing there in a daze, his color suddenly changed.

Fatty Xu has calculated the reaction of his family members. As a businessman, he is timid and weak. I am afraid that one thing more is worse than one thing less. Anyway, whoever becomes the emperor, doesn't everyone live in the same way?

But it would be different if there was one more Li Rong. The Li family was a family of officials and eunuchs, and they would never sit idly by and watch the danger of the imperial power, and no matter how courageous the Xu family was, they would not dare to subdue Li Rong.Not to mention, when Xu Shouzi's servant went crying to Li's house to invite Li Rong, half the people in the county saw it.

Fatty Xu's father's face was ashen, and he always felt that his son was not making progress. When he really made progress, the first thing he would do was to deal with him, the old man.The taste in my heart, why not call it a mixed array of flavors.

The doctor was invited in to give Xu Shouzi a few needles, and then asked the maid to pour him a large bowl of freshly boiled calming soup and said: "Although your son is seriously injured, his life is not in danger. It may be that his mind is exhausted. The panic along the way, coupled with the lack of food and clothing, has caused the current injury."

He still didn't say a word, since he was used to rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, he didn't eat a meal and didn't sleep well all night, so he thought it was a big deal.To put it bluntly, I still haven't suffered.

Human life is fragile, but sometimes it is tough and terrifying.Most of the coma was caused by his own fright, thinking that he was going to die.

"There is no fear of life, that's great." Li Rong retreated step by step in front of the doctor. As soon as the people from the Xu family caught up at the door, they saw the young servant of the Li family rushing out of breath. over here.

"Master, ginseng, ginseng is here." I really thought that Master Xu was waiting for ginseng to save his life.

Li Rong conveniently stuffed the ginseng box into the hand of Xu's father who was chasing after him, "Let's express my heart, and please don't be too polite, Mr. Xu, so don't give it away again."

Master Xu opened his mouth wide, who is here to see him off? He's just, just...

At this time, he couldn't say a word, so he could only smile wryly.

The servant just thinks that Master Xu is really dying soon, look, Master Xu is about to cry.

Li Rong walked faster and faster, and the more he walked, the more frightened he became.When he got home, he stopped at the intersection of the East and the West, he hesitated.

Li Rong hesitated, not knowing whether he should go back to the West Mansion to report to his grandfather, or go to the East Mansion to tell Jia Lan first.

He lowered his head and found that his toes were pointing in the direction of the East Mansion, he gave a wry smile, that's all, it was God's will.Lifting his legs and walking towards the East Mansion, Jia Lan was leaning on the bed waiting for him to come in.

"How about it, maybe we can be rescued." Jia Lan asked when he saw Li Rong.

Li Rong looked at the maids in the room, Jia Lan waved them away, Li Rong gritted his teeth.

"There is no fear of life, but..."

He repeated exactly what Fatty Xu said before he fell into a coma, and looked at him expectantly after speaking.

Jia Lan suddenly sat up from the big pillow he was leaning on, and let out an "Ai yo" because of the wound.Li Rong hurried forward to support him, "It's me, Meng Lang. You are injured, how can you worry about it? I'll tell my grandfather. My grandfather and I will go to Lord Qin now and let him report to the court."

"Brother Lang..." Li Rong, who turned to leave, found that he couldn't move as soon as he took a step. When he turned his head, Jia Lan's hand tightly grasped his arm.

"You can't tell Mr. Qin about this matter."

"Why?" Li Rong exclaimed.

"The Cha family has taken refuge with the eldest prince." This matter could be hidden from the emperor, but not from the people below. It is impossible for him to be ignorant of the situation in the court after being in contact for such a long time.The Cha family is declining day by day, eager to return to the glory of their ancestors.So he broke the old rule of the Cha family not forming a party or standing in a team, and chose the eldest prince who was most likely to be in power.

The eldest prince has the loyalty of the Zha family and the loyal and obedient prince to rely on, so he is indeed at home. At present, apart from the seventh prince who favors his concubine, he is the most favored person.And the Seventh Prince is still young, and it's not yet time to fight for the throne, so his chances of winning are indeed great.

Who would have imagined that Prince Zhongshun would suddenly do such a thing as he approached his old age.

Li Rong changed his mind, "Mrs. Qin..." Mrs. Qin is the daughter of the Cha family. Thinking about it this way, Master Qin is indeed not worth entrusting.

"I..." Jia Lan thumped the bed. If his leg was not injured, he would be fine, and he could rush to Jinling immediately. He is the supervisor appointed by the Ministry of Officials, so he can spread the news no matter what.

But thinking about it again, if his leg hadn't been injured and he had set off for Chaoping Mansion early at this time, how could he have waited until now to know these things.

and many more……

Jia Zhuo...

Jia Lan slapped herself with a "slap", making Li Rong next to her look stupid, and stuttered for a long time, unable to speak.

"You go to Jinling on horseback and tell uncle the news." The uncle here refers to Li Rong's uncle and Jia Lan's grandfather Li Shouzhong.

"Okay." Li Rong turned around and left. Hearing about preparing the horses, the boy couldn't figure out where he was going.

"Old man, old man, it's not good. When the young master left the city, he was taken away by officials." Li's West Mansion was swept in like a servant, leaving a series of messy footprints.

The Li family is in chaos again, and the county government is even more chaotic.

Mr. Qin grabbed Mrs. Qin's skirt and dragged her to his eyes, "Tell me, did you do it? What exactly do you want to do?"

"Anyway, I've already arrested him. Everyone knows that he was sent by an official. It's useless for you to get rid of it now."

Compared with Mrs. Qin's calmness, Master Qin's face is particularly ferocious, "Do you know what you are doing, do you know that you will drag the Cha family and the Qin family into the abyss, forever."

"Father has sent a letter, Prince Zhongshun is consolidating his troops and preparing for the Qing emperor's side. As long as the eldest prince ascends the throne, we will be the hero of the dragon." Mrs. Qin's eyes shone with a fiery light.

"Fah, what is the side of the Qing emperor? It's all nonsense from traitors and traitors. I think it's Prince Zhongshun who wants to rebel himself, and the eldest prince may not even know about it." Lord Qin was furious, and his fingers tightened even more.

"The emperor only loves the concubine Yao, and he is ready to make her the queen. Once the concubine Yao enters the East Palace, the former empress has no sons, and her son will be the orthodox one. The emperor is fatuous, and we, the courtiers, have to distinguish the traitors for him."

"You said that a demon concubine is a demon concubine. The emperor is in the prime of his life. Who he wants to be the crown prince is a matter for the future. How can you allow others to dictate?" Lord Qin really wanted to knock her head open to see, these stubborn thoughts , how did it come about.

"But the demon concubine's surname is Jia." Mrs. Qin sneered, "You don't know that the First Prince and Prince Zhongshun joined hands to carve up Jia's mansion, right?"

It was only then that Lord Qin understood why the First Prince and Prince Zhongshun were so afraid of this favorite concubine. It turned out that she came from the Jia family.But how did he enter the palace and still be favored by the emperor?

"The lowly servant girl was punished as a palace slave, but somehow she used some method to seduce the emperor, jumped out of the mud pit, and climbed to the position of noble concubine step by step. If you want to make her a queen, how can the queen have a sinful family? Rehabilitate the Jia family. Jia Lan has been elected, and the remaining Jia family men are not vegetarians. When the time comes, tell the eldest prince and Prince Zhongshun how to deal with themselves."

Mrs. Qin spoke more and more smoothly, she could feel her husband's hand getting looser and looser, she pushed lightly, out of his control, straightened her clothes, brushed her hair, looked at him and said: "You really think we are crazy?" Is it? We just strike first, and the odds are good."

"How can you say that you have the chance to win? The emperor also has the Imperial Forest Army, and the guard army guarding Jinling. With his five thousand personal guards alone, even if he includes the soldiers from the two prefectures, there may not be a chance of winning."

Hearing the exhaustion in her husband's voice, Mrs. Qin smiled confidently, "Because the shortage of soldiers from the two governments caused the emperor to be furious, do you think that the soldiers from other places are all right? They are not afraid that the emperor will follow the gourd and draw ladles and draw Have they dealt with it according to the law?"

"Prince Zhongshun took advantage of the soldiers from the two mansions to collude with them in private. Is this what you planned?" Only then did Lord Qin understand that everything was planned by Prince Zhongshun.

But he still doesn't understand, is it worth taking such a big risk to worry about the liquidation decades later for a concubine surnamed Jia and her prince.This is a big crime of rebellion, ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

"The eldest prince promised Prince Zhongshun that after ascending the throne, Prince Zhongshun's branch will never be degraded to become a nobleman, and will forever assign Chaoping Mansion to Prince Zhongshun's mansion as a fief." Mrs. Qin shrugged, "There is also Andu Mansion in the north Well, don't forget, the emperor's most elite army is stationed in Xiajiang mansion all the year round, and they are the ones who defend, the guards in the imperial city are totally vulnerable."

Mrs. Qin still has some unfinished business to say. The Eldest Prince joined hands with Prince Zhongshun's son in Jinling, and he is not a vegetarian. He will always make a difference.

Jia Zhuo and Ban'er received letters sent by Wu Yan and Jia Lan almost at the same time. When they arrived at the Li Mansion, Jia Zhuo was about to step forward, but Ban'er grabbed him.

"Their doors have all been changed." Ban'er pulled Jia Zhuo and left without looking back. When they went to the restaurant and found a private room facing the Li family's gate, they sat for half an hour before realizing that something had really happened to the Li family. up.

For such a long time, people kept going in, but no one came out.

No one at the gate was someone they knew, and this was the case in both the East and West.

"Ban'er, what's going on?" Jia Zhuo stretched out his hand and held Ban'er's hand tightly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"Let's go to Xu's house to have a look." Ban'er settled the bill and took Jia Zhuo downstairs.

Instead of going to Xu's house first, she went to the tall one and asked him if he knew that Fatty Xu was back.The tall man was a follower at the beginning, so he didn't dare to provoke Ban'er, and now that Ban'er is a scholar, he dared not provoke him even more.

"I know he's back. I invited Li Rong over and said that I wanted to see him for the last time. In the end, I put up an oolong array. I just starved for a few days and panicked." The tall man went when he got the news, but he didn't see him After hearing what the Xu family said, he came back.

Ban'er did the same thing again, and found that Xu's family was the same, only allowed to enter but not to leave, and no one came out for a long time.

"When Slender Xu first came back, he was still normal. He asked Li Rong to talk to him. Then Li Rong went home and went to the city gate. I want him to go to the Yamen to make it clear. But until now, Li Rong has not been released, and the Xu and Li families have also been placed under house arrest."

It is not difficult for Ban'er and Jia Zhuo to analyze the context of this. Jia Zhuo rubbed his chin, and the rest can only be guessed, "It must be what Xu Shouzi said, who did Li Rong rush out to report to?" ?”

"Out of the city, where can I go out of the city at this time?"

"Jinling?" The two called in unison.

"Xu Fatty came back from Chaoping Mansion. When he returned to the city, many people saw it. It is said that he was robbed. The goods were lost and the people dispersed. He and the boy managed to save their lives." Ban Ban Present the collected information.

"Has something happened in Chaoping Mansion?" They all said in unison again.

"It must be a big deal." Ban'er frowned, thinking hard.

"Even if Mr. Qin is a parental official, he can't cover the sky with his hands, right? Among the two families, the Xu family is fine, but he dares to touch the Li family?" Jia Zhuo was a little confused.

"Just say that Fatty Xu brought the plague back, and after a few days of observation, no one will doubt it."

As if confirming Ban'er's words, the county government issued a notice the next day, saying that Xu Shouchang had a high fever after returning to the city, and even infected the maids in the house and fell down. According to the doctor's judgment, it is very likely that he contracted the epidemic on the way .Therefore, the Xu family was temporarily quarantined, and because Li Rong had met Xu Shouchang and then returned home, he had to quarantine the Li family as well.

As long as there are no relevant symptoms after one month, the quarantine will be lifted. Please don't panic the people in the city.

As soon as this notice came out, everyone who had doubts dispelled their doubts. After hearing Xu Shouchang's scruffy appearance when he came back, he thought that there was nothing wrong with being careful, and that the isolation for a few days was also for the safety of the people in the city.Families who are acquainted still have to worry about one or two things, and those who are irrelevant are simply forgotten and ignored.

Jia Zhuo went to Suyunfang, the shopkeeper only sighed when he saw her, "Even if you don't come, I will go to you too. How can this be good?"

"It's okay, just do what you want, it's just the same as before. The Li family just suffered from the fish pond, and it will be fine after a while. If you need money to buy goods, just take it easy for now. If it's a matter of paying wages, it's the same if you pay money from me first."

Jia Zhuo hurriedly reassured the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper finally showed a smile, "It's the little old man who was worrying blindly, and he suddenly messed up. By the way, there is something that our boss said to give you, and the thing is still there." I didn’t send it in, and something like this happened, you follow me.”

The shopkeeper took Jia Zhuo to the second floor, took out a wooden box and said, "I don't know when the master will come out. This is the birthday gift she picked for you."

"She's really, really thoughtful, but she's worth remembering even for a casual student."

The shopkeeper smiled, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Our boss said that when the young master comes back, he will go to Dongfu first."

Jia Zhuo was taken aback, the shopkeeper had already straightened up, still smiling, and said politely: "My boss treats you like a bosom friend, of course it's different."

"Yes, it's a confidant." Jia Zhuo went back holding the wooden box with one foot and one foot lightly, thinking all the way, what does it mean to go to the East Mansion first?

"What Xu Shouzi said must have something to do with Jia Lan, that's why Li Rong left his home and went to the East Mansion to meet Jia Lan first. Maybe it was Jia Lan's idea to report to Jinling." Ban'er guessed.

"Is it related to Jia Lan?" Jia Zhuo looked up at the board.

"Fu Bing."

"Prince Zhongshun."

It's not the same thing, but the meaning is similar.

"Anyway, I'm afraid they are more or less fortunate, especially the Li family." Ban'er quickly analyzed the situation.

The Xu family should have known the news earlier than Li Rong, but they did not move. Li Rong would be stopped when he left the city, so people wondered if the Xu family had informed him.

Jia Zhuo was instantly drenched in cold sweat. She thought that breaking Jia Lan's leg would save his life, but in the end, was it still the same?

Whether it is a doomed result cannot be changed, even with them, Jia Lan still cannot escape death.

"There will be a way, there will always be a way." Ban'er held Jia Zhuo's hand, and found that her hand was frighteningly cold in summer.

The Wang family was really planning to go to Xiaodongshan for the summer with the whole family. As soon as they brought a letter to the Zhao family, Bai Xi couldn't wait to say that her luggage was ready and she could leave at any time.

The girl from the Zhao family declined, and the grandma of the Zhao family was worried that she would follow an unreliable third grandma, so she also advised her not to go.

Bai Xi cocked her neck, "I was the one invited, so why can't I go."

"It's impolite for you to be caught in the middle of a big family." In the end, it was Zhao's mother-in-law who stopped her, which prevented Bai Xi from making the trip.

Knowing this was the result, Jia Zhuo was not surprised. He took his family there, and went to the city to buy a few carts of food and clothing, and added them to Xiaodongshan.

Ban'er went to Li's East Mansion, and the doorman pointed at the announcement, and said with a smirk: "This scholar should be able to read and write."

"Of course I can read and write. This is a letter from Mr. Jia in the same year. Please ask me to bring it to him. Please send my elder brother to bring it in, and then help me bring Mr. Jia's reply back."

"You are quite good at calling people, don't you know what's going on now?" Menzi bluffed and wanted to drive Ban Er away.

Ban'er frowned and said, "Didn't Mr. Jia be quarantined because of the epidemic? Why did the elder brother say that he was in prison? In the eyes of the elder brother, the imperial court ordered the officer to be a prisoner under house arrest?"

The other gate immediately pulled back the previous person, and said to Ban'er: "I'm sorry, this scholar, my brother just came here as an errand, so he doesn't know the rules. Let me send any letter in for you."

Jia Lan saw the unsealed letter and took it with a wry smile.

What is the same year, it is obviously Ban Er's handwriting, he said to the door after reading it: "What else can I say now, you can reply as you like."

"How can it be, Mr. Jia should reply one, and I will send you a letter." Menzi smiled wretchedly.

"Tell him, my leg injury is nothing, I know about him." Jia Lan sounded disheartened, looking up at the embroidery pattern on the top of the curtain, not looking at Menzi's face.

Hearing the echo, the boarder at the door nodded, took out a purse and handed it over, "Excuse me, please have some tea."

Jia Zhuo went to Zhao's house at this time, and brought fresh melons and fruits to Zhao's girl, and a potted flower for Bai Xi.

"Knowing that you can't go, I'm afraid I feel sorry. The wild flowers in the mountains will add a wild charm to you."

"Oh, what a headache, why are you not allowed to go?" Bai Xi was so angry that she fell ill, and her mother-in-law told her not to mess around, it really made her mad.

"It's like this when you get married. Unless you are accompanied by your husband, you can go anywhere. By the way, don't you also have Xiaozhuangzi? Why don't you ask the third young master to accompany you?" Jia Zhuo asked knowingly.

"He ran out again. Every day is business, so he doesn't care about me." Bai Xi sighed dissatisfied.

"Hey, why don't you ask your natal father to stay for a while. The master of the Bai family opened a shop in Wannian County. See, the old lady can't disagree." Jia Zhuo helped her out.

"My father will go out in a few days, and I'm afraid he won't be able to return until years ago." Bai Xi said very relaxedly.

Jia Zhuo thought to himself, well, I'll treat you as cold-blooded and ruthless, and don't even care about your own father.It turned out that he just avoided it in his previous life, so he thought he could also avoid it in this life?

"Oh, you don't know that. I heard from Uncle Wang that one of your cousins ​​went to the shop and was in charge of shopping. Your father said that he would stay in the shop to enjoy his life when he was old."

"Why didn't I know about this kind of thing." Bai Xiteng stood up suddenly, his father might not go out, what to do, what to do.

Jia Zhuo smiled, "Isn't that good? Why don't you let your father enjoy the happiness."

Saying his farewell, he went to sit with Miss Zhao's for a while, sighed and said: "I also said to find a way to drive her away, I think her situation is getting worse and worse."

"Isn't it? My mother doesn't want to believe me." The Zhao family girl's scalp tingles when she thinks of her third aunt. There are already bad rumors outside, and she really doesn't know what to do.

"However, there is a way, you can try it at home." Jia Zhuo leaned over to the girl of the Zhao family and said softly.

"She won't be in a hurry with me."

"It's right to be anxious. As soon as you speak out about the dream in a hurry, the matter will be resolved. She said it herself, and the gods can't blame others."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The girl from the Zhao family nodded firmly.

The three of them arrived home almost at the same time, Ban'er came back from Li's house, Jia Zhuo came back from Zhao's house, and Qing'er came back from Xiaocai's.

"I gave Xiaocai cornmeal and homemade pickles." Qing'er shook the handkerchief in her hand, and said uncomfortably: "I see that the smile on her face has disappeared, and she has been urging me to leave quickly. .”

"Don't look at me like that, I really just asked you to deliver something, I didn't ask you to inquire about things." Jia Zhuo smiled and patted Qing'er on the forehead.

"But..." Qing'er looked at Jia Zhuo and then at Ban'er, "If you have something to do, don't hide it from me."

"What can happen, don't worry."

"It's nothing, why did you send your parents and grandma to Xiaodongshan, and then go to each house when you come back." Qing'er looked at them suspiciously, not believing the nonsense that nothing happened.

Well, Jia Zhuo covered his face, the child is grown up, so it's not easy to lie.

"The Qiqiao Festival is coming soon. I heard that there are rich people in the city who are going to set off fireworks. Do you want to watch it?" Jia Zhuo changed the subject.

"Really? Then let's stay in the city and leave after watching the fireworks."

"Okay." After Ban'er answered, he turned to look at Jia Zhuo, with a gentle smile on his face.

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, there was indeed a wealthy businessman from other places who lived in an inn with his daughter. Because he couldn't make it home before the Qiqiao Festival, he felt sorry for his daughter, so he set off fireworks by the river in Wannian County.

News came out a few days in advance that many families took their children to the river to watch the fireworks.The county government had to deploy a large number of people to maintain law and order, especially at the waterside and bridges, for fear of congestion.

As soon as the fireworks started, someone shouted for water, which shocked everyone.A lot of people were heard shouting, and it was mixed with the sound of Prince Zhongshun's rebellion and King Suqing calling.

Suddenly the scene got out of control, some people ran to the house, some ran to the open place, some ran to the county office, a small county town suddenly turned upside down and became a mess.

The most frightening thing was the Zhao family, but the third girl went to play in the third grandmother's house, accidentally found the cellar she had dug, and dropped the fireworks in her hand in surprise.When the fire started, the little girl screamed in fright. Fortunately, no one was injured or injured, only one house was burned.

It's just that the smell of a cellar wafted out, and it turned out that all the grain hidden in the cellar had been cooked.

The third grandmother, Bai Xi, was overly frightened and kept clamoring to leave the city, to go outside the city.The third girl thought she was blaming herself, and went up to apologize crying, but she didn't know what to say, the third grandmother suddenly went crazy, and pushed the third girl away.

Opening his hands and waving, "The city is about to be besieged. Prince Zhongshun is about to attack. King Suqing is coming with soldiers and horses. Hurry up and hide. Hurry up. I'm going out of the city. If I don't go out, it will be too late."

The servants who put out the fire were already in a panic, and they didn't notice it for a while, but they thought it was true, so they yelled out.Based on false rumors, half of the people on the street shouted, really thinking that an army had attacked Wannian County.

And the fireworks that were set off in the distance, and the noise that came from it, made people who didn't know the inside story believe it more and more.

"We really succeeded." Ban'er still felt unbelievable, and his voice was still uncertain.

"Hurry up and pick him up." Jia Zhuo clapped his shoulder, and with too much force, he patted his palm backwards with pain.

"I'll show you off." Ban'er went to grab her hand, but Jia Zhuo opened it backhanded.

"Go, go, don't forget the business."

"Can't forget."

Ban'er drove the car proficiently, and the county town was already in chaos. Many little beggars ran wildly with the crowd, shouting from time to time, "I'm coming, I'm coming. The army is besieging the city, the army is besieging the city."

No one knows who is shouting, but I can only hear such voices in my ears, so that the timid people will also shout.

Jia Zhuo got off the car halfway, went to find Qing'er at the place where the fireworks were set off by the bridge, and stayed there with her, waiting for Ban'er to pick her up.Ban'er drove directly in the direction of Li's house.Relying on his familiarity with the county town, he tried his best not to attract attention all the way through the small streets and alleys.

The masters of the Li family's east and west mansions have already lived in the east mansion together. This is Jia Lan's strong request, because on the surface they are only isolated because of the epidemic.After Menzi reported it, he had no choice but to respond.

Wu Yan brought the two elderly people to Dongfu. When the family members met, they asked the maid to guard the door and talk together.

Menzi never interfered with these things, they only guarded the front and back doors and did not allow people to go out.They are the confidantes sent by the Cha family to Mrs. Qin, and they only obey Mrs. Qin's orders. If anyone breaks out of the house by force, they will be killed.

"The letter I received is like this, the first word in the first line, the second word in the second line, and so on. Reading it together means that we can get together. Wait for us."

Jalan spread out the letter for everyone to read.

"Then what about Brother Rong, we are not fugitives, I will not leave, I will definitely not leave." The old lady of the Zhao family was dazed, her body was tilted, and Wu Yan quickly supported her, so she did not fall down.

"Brother Lang, tell me clearly, what happened?" Li Wan's fingers kept trembling, and his whole body also trembled, trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

The old man of the Li family sighed, "Brother Lang, tell them."

In order not to worry about the women in the family, Jia Lan only told Mrs. Li about the matter. To Mrs. Li, Li Wan, including Wu Yan, she only said that the epidemic was serious and that Li Rong was quarantined elsewhere, so she did not dare to say anything. other.

But now, it is impossible to hide it.

After listening to Brother Lang, Li Wan calmed down and grabbed Xin's son's hand. Mrs. Li was speechless.

Only Wu Yan calmly said: "How do we get to Tsing Yi Lane? Brother Lang's leg injury is still unhealed, so how can we walk around?" What was considered was the most practical issue.

"You don't care about Brother Rong yet?" The old lady glared angrily, wishing she could tear her apart.

"That's why we have to go out. If we stay here, Mr. Qin only needs to order, and we and Brother Rong can only meet in the underworld. We have to go out, go to court, go to rescue Rong Brother, he is waiting for us to save him, grandma."

"My daughter-in-law is right, if we don't leave, brother Rong won't be saved." The old man finally agreed.

"Then how do we get out?" Li Wan had already gritted his teeth, and secretly made up his mind that even if he carried his son, he would carry his son out.

"For the affairs of the mansion, we can only figure out our own solutions. It is very valuable for him to guess our plight and give him a helping hand. We cannot rely on others for the affairs of the mansion." Jia Lan once again hated her legs Injury, but this is another paradox, I have to sigh, it's a trick of luck.

"The front and back doors are guarded by their people. To go to Tsing Yi Lane, you have to go through the back door. Add some ingredients to their meals to make them faint?" Li Wan frowned and came up with an idea.

"I'm afraid it won't work. If the shift changer happens to come over and is discovered, it's fine if we can't leave by ourselves, and we will implicate others." When he was caught halfway, and the plan was over, Jia Lan shook his head.

"There is a house in Tsing Yi Lane that is next to our wall, outside is Nanny An's house." In the end, it was the old lady who spoke.

Tsing Yi Lane was originally the place where the servants of the Li family lived, but later because of the decline of the population, it gradually became the place where the servants and outsiders live together.

And there is a wall in the Li Mansion that is the house of Nanny An, the most loyal servant of the Li family. Tsing Yi Lane has a complicated terrain, and no one knows that behind the wall in the bedroom of Nanny An is the Li Mansion.

Even the old lady had long forgotten about this matter, and after a long time of stimulation, she finally remembered it.

"Break down the wall." Wu Yan stood up, "I'm going to get the clothes, we all changed our makeup, and changed the clothes of the servants. Big sister and grandfather are holding Brother Lang, and I will take care of grandma. Don't worry, I ate it when I was young." There is always a lot of strength, even if you have escaped from hardships.”

"That's it." Jia Lan made a decision.

The old man of the Li family kept muttering to himself, "There are successors, there are successors. I'm relieved, relieved."

Looking at Brother Lang and his grandson's wife, the old man clenched his fists. He really couldn't do it. After he came to break it, he wanted to let a few younger ones get out.

"Would it be possible to make such a big commotion in the backyard..."

On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, Li Wan and Mrs. Li picked up Jia Lan when they heard the commotion outside, and they took action.

The servants of the family were all sent to the front and back doors to inquire about the news, while in the backyard, under the cover of the loud noise from outside, the plaster at the joints of the bricks and stones had long been cut off, and the bricks were quickly ripped off.Several people entered in a single file, and Nanny An and her son followed behind, covering the bricks with a layer of plaster and building them up again.

Outside Tsing Yi Alley, an unremarkable mule cart stopped at the intersection.

After receiving the people, the mule cart didn't stop and rushed to the city gate closest to the pier in one breath.

The gates of Wannian County will be closed after nightfall, and will never be opened unless there is an emergency military order.

"I can only send you here. I have made a deal with a juggling troupe who lives in this inn. You will leave with them early tomorrow morning. Li Rong will have to figure it out on your own."
