In the north, as soon as winter came, Ji Wenzhao resumed urban construction, building walls and paving roads, and Yancheng was busy. In the military medical training camp hosted by Duan Zeng, the first batch of nearly 100 trainees left the division and were assigned to various places. The second batch entered the camp and began to learn techniques such as hemostasis and first aid.
The Marquis of Pingyuan in the capital also began to send people to establish several secret sentinel lines from the border to the capital to transmit information. Both the nunnery where Shen Wen lived and the nearby monk temple reported to Marquis Pingyuan. Shen Wen had already told Marquis Pingyuan about his request to send two Taoist priests to the wine cellar, and he also ordered an incense burner for alchemy. Although Marquis Pingyuan couldn't figure out what it was for, he was still ready. When winter came, he sent someone to bring a letter saying that he was ready to go.
Little Taoist and Shen Qiang and Zhang Yunzhao couldn't continue to play, and they were very sad to hear the news.
The old Taoist went to see Shen Wen again, and Shen Wen gave him the alchemy process he had written, and explained some key points in it.
Yellow gunpowder is a chemical preparation, and potassium chloride must first be extracted. Potassium chloride is a white crystal, which can be extracted from potassium salt in Qinghai. Extract sodium chlorate from hot brine, react with potassium chloride to form potassium chlorate, and then synthesize it with the extracted realgar according to the ratio of seven to three... This series of extraction and synthesis, Shen Wen knows the full set of theoretical measurements and ratios, can Without practical experience, you can't make it if you don't know how to heat it. In the era without electrolysis and other methods, the alchemy furnace became the only way. Taoist priests have been doing experiments on the crystals formed after the synthesis and decomposition of several chemical substances for thousands of years. Only Taoist priests can do this.
The old Taoist listened more and more seriously, and when Shen Wen finished describing, he frowned and said: "This kind of elixir is a poisonous medicine..."
Shen Wen said again: "Didn't I say it? It's not for people to eat, it's for frying stones. The final ingredients have to be handed over to my friend to put them together, so don't mix them yourself!"
The old Taoist agreed dubiously, took the things before leaving, then turned to Shen Wen and said: "I heard from my apprentice that the black and fat boy is the fourth son of Shen, is he your younger brother?"
Shen Wen nodded, and the old Taoist said, "It's best for him not to talk for the rest of his life."
Shen Wen was surprised: "He still doesn't speak at such an age, how can he be able to speak in the future?"
The old Taoist sighed: "If there is something frightening and furious, maybe you can open your mind, but that is not a good thing."
Shen Wen thought about it, nodded and said: "Indeed, being shocked and furious is definitely not a good thing."
The old Taoist said: "I think that child is very generous, maybe nothing can make him angry."
Shen Wen thought about it, and said: "Really, my fourth brother has a quick temper, but he is not angry. He has always been very happy." That time he was almost drowned, it shouldn't be counted.
The old Taoist nodded repeatedly and said, "That's good, if he doesn't get angry, he won't become violent..."
Shen Wen said unhappily: "I don't see any viciousness in him."
The old Taoist said again and again: "It's fine if you don't have it..." He sighed.
One morning, the escort of the old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest arrived. The old Taoist priest thanked the middle-aged monk, while the young Taoist priest bid farewell to Shen Qiang and Zhang Yunzhao crying. Shen Qiang yelled, Zhang Yunzhao had full authority to guarantee future contact with the little Taoist priest for him and so on. Shen Qiang and Zhang Yunzhao waved vigorously in front of the temple, watching the old Taoist and the young Taoist descend the mountain.
The old Taoist left the mountain with the young Taoist and a few others, and got into a donkey cart specially prepared for them. The old Taoist said to the young Taoist: "That black and fat child is an evil star who will not be born in the world. He will kill many people."
The little Taoist priest was still immersed in the sadness of parting, and said angrily: "Of course not, he is very good to me!"
The old Taoist said in a low voice: "That's because he has not yet opened his eyes, and he only repays those who come to hurt him. If one day he opens his eyes, he will take the initiative to kill people."
The little Taoist shook his head vigorously: "No! No! You always let me look at people's eyes. His eyes are black and white, and they are very innocent. They must not be evil stars. Master must have miscalculated!"
The old Taoist sighed deeply: "I also hope that I am wrong, but his whole body is amazing..."
The little Taoist said stubbornly: "Didn't your calculations be accurate before? This one must be inaccurate too!"
The old Taoist was very depressed, so he could only say: "Why do I like to see casualties? I hope that no one will touch the child's ferocious nature. He will never know how to kill him all his life."
The little Taoist said: "That's right, brother Zhao said, when we grow up, we'll go out together and let Hei Pang shave his head bald. Anyway, that monk always said he would become a monk, and we can be regarded as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism..."
The old Taoist interrupted: "I really don't know the depth! I don't care about the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but you dare to call yourself 'Tao'?! I really want to die of shame for you! How many Taoist spells have you recited?" Can it be made into two?!"
The little Taoist said dissatisfied: "Didn't you let me quarrel with him? What did he say? Why can't I listen to it? He is a 'Confucian', so I can naturally call him 'Tao'..."
The old Taoist was helpless: "How can you compare with him? He is the god of Zhu Yi who descended to earth, and will be in charge of fairness in the world in the future..."
The little Taoist yelled: "That's impossible! We can't go out to play?! Master, don't be too sure!"
The old Taoist slapped the little Taoist on the back vigorously: "How can you talk to the master like that? You are getting more and more ignorant!"...
They walked for two months to the wine cellar, where they set up a pill furnace. One after another, some items were delivered, the old Taoist priest began to make alchemy, and the young Taoist priest was listlessly working on the side, always thinking about how to go out to play. The old Taoist found that Yan Sanguan's wine was very delicious, and he often drank a few cups, guarding the alchemy furnace warmly, and told the little Taoist about his experiences, feeling that it was a fairy day. The little Taoist missed his two friends very much, and was very depressed for a while.
Zheng Qian also felt frustrated during this time—he originally thought that when Miss Shen Er lived in the temple, the marriage should be decided by Mrs. Zhenbeihou. Now he can also get reports from insiders in the Hou's Mansion. According to the news, he has a good reputation in the Zhenbei Hou's Mansion. The Yang family is interested in him, and Shen Zhuo also said that he is good. After all, he finally got stuck with the old lady. . Zheng Qian was very angry. If the old lady hadn't died, the grandchildren would have to observe filial piety for at least three months, making the marriage hopeless, and he wanted people to get rid of the old lady.
By the end of the new year, there was no sign of the marriage. If Zheng Qian felt that this way was not going to work, he had no choice but to personally attack Second Miss Shen.
Zhang Yunzheng arrived in the capital at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, but he was not planning to spend the New Year in Beijing.
Marquis Pingyuan frowned: "What?! You only want to stay for two days before leaving?! Your mother almost cried blindly because of you, you little..." He looked at his tall son, and changed his words: "Big white-eyed wolf! "
Zhang Yunzheng burst out laughing, Ping Yuanhou was a little surprised, this son has always had a bad temper, always looking for opportunities to fight with others, and now he actually laughed? He didn't know that Zhang Yunzheng was in a good mood when he thought of meeting Shen Wen.
Zhang Yunzheng said with a touch of arrogance: "I have to mobilize carriages and people along the way, go to the north to pick up the ship and transport it to the border, and then come down from the north to the wine cellar to prepare..." He didn't intend to go into details about setting up the ambush, and said vaguely: "I'm busy with stopping Beirong!"
Pingyuan Hou hummed: "Listen, it seems like you are so capable! Who is not busy?! You have to stay at least... four days!" It can be doubled.
Zhang Yunzheng reluctantly agreed. He told his father about his preparations in the south: "Most of the weapons have been prepared, especially bows and crossbows. More than 30,000 pieces have been made. The craftsmen are familiar with their hands and are getting faster and faster. There are more than 20,000 people, and most of them are arrows." Crossbowmen, practice shooting every day. There is still plenty of food. When I came, I saw that the merchants of the Li family in the south of the Yangtze River were selling food... "
Marquis Pingyuan nodded: "It takes less than 60 days for the summer grain to be harvested. If the weather is good, the famine will be relieved next summer. The Li family's grain sales are just the beginning, and they will be completely cleared in the spring when the harvest is not harvested. Since they got a good price , and won a good reputation."
Marquis Pingyuan told Zhang Yunzheng some important matters in the capital, about the crown prince's attack on the young ladies of the Shen family, Zhang Yunzheng frowned upon hearing this. Marquis Pingyuan looked at the situation and confirmed once again that his stupid son had taken a fancy to Miss Shen Er, so he said: "Although this matter is dangerous on the surface, in fact, the two ladies of the Shen family are unscathed. The prince heard that the second lady was killed or injured. Ten people, after thinking about it, it is very likely that someone set a trap for the prince. The person who has such a scheming, it is best to be a man, if it is a woman, it will violate Yin and Yang... "Men are the sky, women are the earth, women must be meek and virtuous, How can you be smart enough to force a man
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted impatiently: "What is against yin and yang?..." He thought, Shen Wen's ghost possession, isn't it against yin and yang? Then he said: "So what's the matter if you violated it? Is it wrong to protect a large group of people with all your heart?" As he spoke, he turned around and left.
Ping Yuanhou said angrily: "Second Miss Shen is now living in a temple outside the city to pray for blessings."
Zhang Yunzheng stopped, and said: "Then I'd better stay for two days!" It took a few days to go out of the city to meet Shen Wen before heading north.
Marquis Pingyuan was angry: "Don't even think about it! You rebellious son! I must accompany your mother! I will prepare a fast horse for you. The boat is headwind this season, so you must be in time."
Zhang Yunzheng left reluctantly to see Mrs. Li.
Seeing the son who was almost lost, Mrs. Li was both happy and worried, and cried, "Why are you back?! Are you going to be okay? Let's go!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Mom, I brought you dried fruit, I made it..."
Mrs. Li cried loudly: "No more, no more! I won't eat now! You should leave Beijing as soon as possible!"
Hearing what Li said, Zhang Yunzheng was embarrassed to say he was leaving, and he really stayed with Li for three days. He also couldn't tell Li Shi what he had done these years, he just kept a straight face, sat beside Li Shi and listened to Li Shi's nagging, and occasionally said something good or bad about Zhang Yunming. But Mrs. Li was so happy that his face was radiant, and Ping Yuanhou said several times with sourness, "Don't spoil that rebellious son too much".
When Zhang Yunzheng left Beijing, Yulan had already inquired about all kinds of gossip. The adopted daughter of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Ji Li compared Miss Shen to the second because the fourth prince wanted to marry Mrs. Shenhou's adopted daughter, and so on. Zhang Yunzheng felt that the Fourth Prince was actually a bold and courageous person. He was able to follow them to the north, pretending to be husband and wife with Su Wanniang all the way, and now he is asking for marriage in public. Walking ahead, he was thrown eight feet away. Zhang Yunzheng felt very jealous, and Rose was talking about going to see his friend Xiao Dingzi, so Zhang Yunzheng asked Rose to bring a package of dry goods from the south to meet the fourth prince, and agreed to meet at the next stop, and he would lead the others out of the city, not to Go to the north, but go to the south instead, and go to see Shen Wen first.
It was already afternoon when Zhang Yunzheng arrived at the mountain temple where Shen Wen was. He didn't want to wait another day, so he went up the mountain immediately after people checked that there was no one around. Let other people guard on the mountain road or go to the monk's temple, and he will knock on the mountain gate of the nunnery by himself.
When Shen Wen heard that there was a second son Zhang visiting, he knew it was Zhang Yunzheng, and was overjoyed for a moment. When we broke up at that time, it was agreed that Zhang Yunzheng would come to see her, but she thought it would be a year later, but she didn't expect Zhang Yunzheng to arrive at this time. Shen Wen couldn't hide his smile, and hurried to the living room in front, because it was in the temple, and it was not a lie, he didn't bring Su Wanniang with him.
As soon as they met, before Shen Wen could speak, Zhang Yunzheng glared and said, "Why are you confronting the prince head-on? Why don't you keep pretending to be stupid?! Why are you so stupid?! You exposed yourself, aren't you asking for trouble?! Only It's been more than a year, can't you pretend to be the end?!" He was always brooding about the flash of the white flag, and he was very unwilling to take Shen Wen's risk.
Shen Wen's smile remained undiminished, and he immediately approached Zhang Yunzheng coquettishly, and pulled his sleeves: "I'm so happy to see you! How are you? Are you tired from the journey?"
Zhang Yunzheng still had a sullen face, as if he really wanted to shake off Shen Wen's hand: "Don't leave here! Wait until I come back to pick you up next time."
Shen Wen burst into a smile: "Why don't you leave, I still have things to do."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "What else is there?! Isn't everything arranged?!"
Shen Wen didn't want to tell Zhang Yunzheng about Zheng Qian. Anyway, Zheng Qian was her husband in the previous life, not to mention Zhang Yunzheng would have any emotional unhappiness. Everyone dared to remove it, so they smiled and said sweetly: "It's just some small things at the end, I'm sure I won't be in trouble. You should know me, I run so fast, no one can catch it."
Zhang Yunzheng also knew that if Shen Wen wanted to escape, he would definitely be able to escape, but he was very unhappy in his heart, holding back a fire.
Shen Wen now understands Zhang Yunzheng's temper, and understands that he is actually worried about himself, and sulked there, and continues to drag his voice: "It takes two or three days from here to the capital, and I have to be in the capital anyway." Yeah. I'll wait for you there, right?"
Zhang Yunzheng pursed his lips in displeasure: "If you have anything to do, you must ask my father for someone! There are spies in your own yard, it's really messy!"
Shen Wen nodded quickly, "Sure, don't worry."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Don't worry? Don't worry if you don't do stupid things!"
Shen Wen's body was almost attached to Zhang Yunzheng's arm: "You weren't there at that time! If you were, let's discuss it, maybe I won't do that..." No wonder.
Zhang Yunzheng also knew that Shen Wen was lying, so he squinted at Shen Wen: "Little liar!"
Shen Wen giggled, and got down to business: "I found a Taoist priest for you, and he took a young apprentice with him, and your father has sent someone to escort them to the wine cellar."
Zhang Yunzheng's expression softened, he nodded and said: "My father told me, and he found a pill furnace for him. I also sent people to the wine cellar for the things you asked me to find back then."
Shen Wen became more serious: "He refines the stuff, and you do the final synthesis, but you must be very careful, use a very small amount at the beginning, and then increase the amount after the experiment..."
Zhang Yunzheng was impatient: "When did I become careless? Please tell me the details."
Shen Wen pulled Zhang Yunzheng to the table, spread out the paper, Zhang Yunzheng grinded the ink for her, Shen Wen carefully wrote and drew the synthesis steps of gunpowder, and told Zhang Yunzheng well, Zhang Yunzheng listened and asked, and at the edge of the paper also Write down notes. The two of them seem to have returned to the days when they drew pictures together. One wrote a question, the other answered a note, and talked for half an hour. When Shen Wen was sure that Zhang Yunzheng had fully understood, he warned again: "The fuse must be long, and the descendants of the fire must not be nearby..." He also said some other precautions, plus other arrangements she thought of, and so on.
After Shen Wen finished explaining, Zhang Yunzheng folded the paper and put it in his arms, and said, "I know, oh, is that Taoist reliable? How can you ask him to help you refine these elixirs?"
Shen Wen said: "He asked me to save his junior brother. In the future, he will refine the things. You send them back to Beijing before the war, and just tell him to do it..." Shen Wen told Zhang Yunzheng the plan, Zhang Yunzheng watched Looking at Shen Wen and shaking his head: "You are really cheating."
Shen Wen pouted: "Then what do you want me to do? Go into the palace to drag him out personally?"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately shook his head: "Don't! Just do as you said, at most I will let them hide in my mansion in the future."
Shen Wen smiled, and looked at Zhang Yunzheng with squinted eyes: "Tell me something about the south."
Zhang Yunzheng said, "I'm thirsty!"
Shen Wen immediately went to ask for tea and brought it to Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunzheng took the tea with one hand, and handed a small bag to Shen Wen with the other: "It's for you."
Shen Wen opened it, and said with bright eyes: "Great! Dried fruit! Delicious!" Look again, there is a small bag inside, touch it, it is hard, Shen Wen asked: "What is this small one?"
Zhang Yunzheng looked very indifferent: "It's just a pack of caramel, a pig said he likes to eat sweets..." Shen Wen laughed, knowing that Zhang Yunzheng remembered that he almost collapsed on the boat and wanted to eat candy, that's what he did What a careful person! Shen Wen smiled and picked up a piece of dried fruit and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and sour, and he couldn't wait to eat several more slices. Finally, he took out a handful and sat beside Zhang Yunzheng, expressing that he wanted to eat and listen to him.
Zhang Yunzheng drank the tea slowly, looked at Shen Wen eating the dried fruit with great disdain, and looked at him earnestly, Zhang Yunzheng whispered: "It's still a pig!" These dried fruits were cut into pieces by himself. Yes, it can be regarded as the best use, Zhang Yunzheng was very satisfied, and began to tell Shen Wen about the various preparations for the south.
While they were talking, the sun was setting and it was getting dark. After Zhang Yunzheng finished speaking, he looked at the window and said, "What else do you want to tell me? I'm leaving the temple." He was a man, and if he was in a nunnery after dark, it would damage the reputation of the women in the nunnery. Only at this moment did Shen Wen feel sad. He was busy discussing matters ahead, and at this moment he realized that Zhang Yunzheng still had to leave, and he would only see him after the war. Shen Wen didn't dare to look at Zhang Yunzheng, and said softly like a mosquito: "After we have dinner, let's meet outside the back door..." Is it an initiative to ask for a date? How many times have the two met in the past, but now they have a relationship as a couple, but they feel embarrassed.
Zhang Yunzheng felt that Shen Wen was finally smart, nodded in agreement, got up and said: "Okay, Xu Shizheng, don't be early, I'll wait for you." He is a man, if he invites a woman to meet at night, it is always a little unscrupulous. If it was Shen Wen who brought it up, it would be fine, because Shen Wen has deep-rooted affection for him, and he can't bear to part with himself. His daughter's family is just such a pestering person... Zhang Yunzheng is very proud.
Shen Wen blushed and nodded, Zhang Yunzheng said goodbye and left.
Shen Wen ate dinner in a daze, Su Wanniang saw it and didn't ask a word. In fact, she envied Shen Wen very much in her heart. She was able to see Zhang Yunzheng, and she and the fourth prince were separated from each other. She couldn't figure out the news and could only wait.
It was getting dark, Shen Wen changed into night clothes, and came out from the backyard over the wall. She was a little ahead of time, but as soon as she landed, she saw Zhang Yunzheng emerging from the shadows. Running up the mountain, Shen Wen stopped and turned around when he reached a sheltered mountain wall, Zhang Yunzheng behind him also stopped, and the two looked at each other.
Shen Wen has grown into a slender girl, Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen for a while, but without speaking, stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Wen into his arms.
In Zhang Yunzheng's iron-like arms, Shen Wen sighed deeply, and put his arms around Zhang Yunzheng's waist. During this period of separation from Zhang Yunzheng, although the miss is very bitter, it is more of a kind of peace and tranquility. Competing with the prince and seeing Zheng Qian made her feel lucky again and again that she already had Zhang Yunzheng, she had a real lover, someone she knew she could trust and was sincere to her. This stability allowed her to concentrate on planning the final battle.
Shen Wen relaxed his body and snuggled into Zhang Yunzheng's arms. Zhang Yunzheng felt the softness and support of Shen Wen's body, and smelled the warm scent of a girl's body in his nose, his blood rushed for a moment, and he dared not move any more. Shen Wen also felt something strange, his face flushed immediately, but he didn't dare to move, the two hugged each other for a long time in embarrassment, Zhang Yunzheng let go of Shen Wen, coughed, and said: "Do you miss me very much?"
Shen Wen lowered his head with a smile and whispered, "Of course, I love you!"
What is this nonsense? ! These years, Zhang Yunzheng has been making weapons with a group of men in the south. He felt he was a tough guy, and he couldn't repeat such feminine words to Shen Wen. He hummed and said: "Well, wait for this After that, we will never have to be separated again. We will go to the south of the Yangtze River together..."
Shen Wen nodded and said, "Eat everything written in your Jiangnan Food Diary!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen and said, "Yes...and, there are...other...delicious..." He was a little out of his mind.
Shen Wen smiled and twisted his waist: "What are you talking about?"
Embarrassed, Zhang Yunzheng turned his face away and said, "You must...don't let anything happen..."
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng curiously: "What will happen to me?"
Zhang Yunzheng cleared his throat: "Of course nothing will happen! You little liar, you are the only one to deceive others."
Shen Wen chuckled: "I'm not lying to you!"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "How did you lie? I know what you're thinking."
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng affectionately, and asked in a low voice: "Then what am I thinking?" I love you so much!
Zhang Yunzheng turned his face away cautiously at first, but then turned his head forcefully, and said to Shen Wen: "I was just thinking..." His face was getting closer and closer to Shen Wen, Shen Wen was embarrassed, and blinked and said: "Forget it... I I don't want to know... "
Zhang Yunzheng's eyes met Shen Wen's, and he said hoarsely, "Then do you know what I'm thinking?"
Shen Wen's face was feverish, and he stammered: "I... I... don't know..."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "It's so stupid..." His lips gently kissed Shen Wen's lips.
Although it was just a kiss, Shen Wen trembled all over, his legs were a little weak.
... It turns out that kisses are like this, full of tenderness and love, a small touch can make people shudder. Shen Wen warned himself, at this moment, forget everything and appreciate the present. There is no past, no future, only this moment...
It's a pity that this moment is very short, just for a moment, Zhang Yunzheng straightened up, Shen Wen was too ashamed to raise his head, but Zhang Yunzheng took her hand, and the two of them walked back slowly in the wind of the twelfth lunar month.
With the bright moon in the sky and the night becoming hazy, Shen Wen suddenly didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid of saying good things, broke a taboo, and was also afraid of saying bad things, so she answered the prophecy. Zhang Yunzheng didn't seem to want to break the silence either, so he held Shen Wen's hand tightly.
They grew up together, planned together, all the way to the present, and thousands of words can't describe the fragments of the two people's relationship. But their life together is far from beginning. After this parting, it will be the last battle. Shen Wen is worried that Zhang Yunzheng will go to the battlefield, and Zhang Yunzheng will never forget that ominous impression... Both of them walked very hard with some heaviness. Slow, but no matter how slow he was, he still walked back outside the wall of the nunnery.
Zhang Yunzheng looked at the outer wall of the nunnery, and held Shen Wen's hand. Shen Wen thought again, something really happened to Zhang Yunzheng, so what happened? I saw the void many times while meditating, but I didn't let go just because I was worried about the matter of revenge. If Zhang Yunzheng was gone, he had done everything he had to do, and he could chase him with just one breath, so what's the difficulty? Thinking of this, she felt relieved, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, we will definitely be together." She turned her face away shyly after speaking.
Zhang Yunzheng let go of Shen Wen's hand, and whispered, "Of course! You can only be with me!"
Shen Wen blushed and said: "Cheek-skinned! You... you come back early." Immediately he turned around, ran a few steps, and jumped over the temple wall.
Zhang Yunzheng watched Shen Wen's lithe figure disappear into the wall, and smiled slightly. He heard Shen Wen's very subtle footsteps disappear, then turned around and rushed to the monk's temple, where he spent the night. There are a lot of things waiting for him in front of him, and each one is more dangerous. Although he was excited to see Shen Wen, he calmed down and planned for the future as soon as they broke up. Anyway, the daughter-in-law can't run away, so don't be lingering. After a good night's sleep, he got up and flatly rejected Du Juan who asked to follow him. At dawn, he led people down the mountain and headed north.
That night, Shen Wen couldn't fall asleep, and she didn't want to meditate, so she just lay on the bed and let herself be distracted. She felt her heart pounding wildly, letting the passion of awe beat her calm again and again. She indulged herself in imagining the future, imagining the beautiful...
How lucky she is! Shen Wen sincerely thanked God: she got the most uncontrollable emotion in life. She has seen the world, and she has long understood that love does not mean being together, and being together does not necessarily mean being in love. It was a coincidence that she met the sincere and sincere Zhang Yunzheng... Now she only needs to concentrate on taking the last step, and when she is done, her career and love will be complete...
Amidst the joy and satisfaction, she also had a faint sense of crisis, as if there was a big unknown hole that would swallow her efforts... But she thought it was because of her worries about Zhang Yunzheng. She forces herself not to let negative thoughts disturb the loving frame of mind, seeing the window turn white amidst the sweet chaos...
------------------------
Before the New Year's Eve, Sanguan and his wife returned to Yan Jing's place under the escort of fifty or sixty people. According to the plan, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the students who were going to the border and the second official and his wife would leave with Sanguan and his wife. .
Yan Jing called Yan Sanguan to the study and said to him: "You have been outside all these years, don't go out this time when you come back, and let your daughter-in-law be filial here." Are you filial
Yan Sanguan was so nervous that he could hardly speak, frowning and hesitating: "Father, we still have... we have to go back, go back to make wine..."
Yan Jing frowned unhappily: "Xiu Ming's letter once said that going from the inland to the border crossing is dangerous. I want someone to escort the students to the east coast. Your wine cellar is in the northwest, and it is not on the way. You Just stay."
Yan Sanguan saw that there was no one around, and whispered to Yan Jing: "Father, those people can send us back because we have been making wine with them all the time."
Yan Jing was taken aback for a moment, he originally thought that Ji Wenzhao had arranged someone to escort the students and accompany Yan Sanguan and his wife home to visit relatives, it was just a cover. He looked at Yan Sanguan with some sternness: "What's going on?"
Yan Sanguan approached: "There may be a big war in the place where we make wine. The wine is made to fight against Bei Rong. Xiu Ming passed by us..." And your granddaughter.
Yan Jing understood as soon as he heard it, Ji Wenzhao went with the people who planned to fight against Beirong. It seems that his third son has long devoted himself to the revolutionary cause and prepared for the war of resistance... Yan Jing suddenly felt that this honest and incompetent third son was pleasing to the eye many. He thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case...you can go back, but before the battle, can you..." He stopped: Does it seem selfish to let his son retreat before the battle
Yan Sanguan hurriedly said: "They don't want us to fight, we will leave there before the war."
Yan Jing was secretly relieved and nodded.
Yan Sanguan said again: "But what Dad said is right, the coastal side is more peaceful, and we should go there. I will let people separate the two roads. It is enough for a dozen people to send us off, and the rest will go to see the second brother. them."
Yan Jing asked: "Then is it dangerous for you to go back here?"
Yan Sanguan shook his head and said: "It used to be a land without water. After the waterlogging, there was water. Now there is a shortage of food. I heard that it is better than before. The people who sent us are very strong, so don't worry."
So Yan Jing decided to let Yan Erguan and Yan Sanguan separate and leave on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
In the courtyard of the second official Yan, Mrs. Yan Er was very busy. Just in time for the new year, she has to deal with the chores of the new year and prepare secretly for going to the border. She is instructing the housekeeper how to take care of the land property, and someone said that Ji Yan's visit.
Mrs. Yan hurriedly asked someone to welcome Mrs. Ji Yan to come in. Mrs. Ji smiled and saluted Mrs. Yan, and the two sat down. Since she was a child, Mrs. Yan Er envied Mrs. Yan for having such a well-behaved and obedient daughter. Compared with her trouble-making spirit, she didn't know how many times more worry-free. She always reminds her daughter to learn more from this cousin's behavior style, don't always be so crazy...
After saying a few homely words, Ji Yan said with a smile: "When will the second aunt leave for the border? I will accompany you."
Mrs. Yan was taken aback: "What do you mean? Where am I going to the border?"
Ji Yan pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Second Aunt, you don't have to hide it from me. Where is my cousin now, Second Aunt will definitely go with Second Uncle to see her."
Second Madam Yan coughed with a smile, and said vaguely: "Look at what you said..."
Ji Yan still looked gentle and gentle, and said to Mrs. Yan: "Second Aunt, my husband is also at the border, I want to go and see him. If Second Aunt doesn't take me, maybe I have to find someone to see him off. I, outsiders, are no more reliable than our own people, if something happens to me, Second Aunt, my parents will be very sad, maybe they will blame you for not taking me with you. "
Second Madam Yan let out a sigh: "Then don't go to the border gate!"
Ji Yan looked at Mrs. Yan with a smile: "If the second aunt doesn't go, I won't go." He spoke in a particularly easy-to-talk tone.
Mrs. Yan Er seemed to know Ji Yanshi just now, looked at her and shook her head and said, "You know I always teach my daughter about you, how good you are, how obedient you are..."
Ji Yan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Second Aunt, we are close friends in the boudoir, we always want to go together when doing things..."
Mrs. Yan Er was very disillusioned, and finally tried her best: "Where is the child? Your child is still so young! Are you going to send it to Ji's house?"
Ji Yan said with a smile: "Let grandma watch it for you. She is getting old and always wants to play with children. It won't be long. It's fine."
Mrs. Yan also thought that it would take half a year, and when she arrived at the border, she would cry to death and persuade her daughter to come back, wouldn't it be all right? If she brought Ji Yanshi with her, Ji Yanshi would finally be taken care of by someone, it would be safer than going crazy by herself, so she sighed and nodded.

The prince has had a better year than ever. It has been a long time since he tasted such a delicious life. From the New Year's Eve dinner to the ancestor worship on the first day of the new year, to the Lantern Festival in the palace during the Lantern Festival, he could feel a pair of eyes looking at him from time to time. He also looked back when his father and others were not paying attention. The extremely dangerous taboo made every eye contact extremely exciting, and the instant contact made him feel the blood rushing to his ears. He felt that he had deceived everyone, but the emaciated concubine seemed to have a tacit understanding with the prince, and saw the prince and concubine Xue looking at each other from a distance.
There was a faint sneer on the corner of the Crown Princess's mouth: This kind of thing has happened since ancient times, and the Crown Prince is always so uninspired! As long as he has a child, it is really easy to get rid of the prince.
