Chapter 258

The bitter summer of the great Jin Dynasty was very long. Because of the spread of the war, it seems to have turned into a hot desert, lifeless. Xuanli's people finally withdrew from the capital, to the edge of the gate, in the end is outnumbered. There are many generals under NA xuanpei's command, including Zhao Guang and his son, Jiang Xinzhi, the young and brave God of war, Lin Wei, Liu Min and Xiao Shao. Xuanli's people are losing day by day. Among them, the royal guards of Jiang Xinzhi and Xiao Shao are especially fierce, almost as brutal and unreasonable as the autumn wind sweeping leaves. Sometimes, they have a similar number of Xuanli's troops, sometimes far less than them. In the end, they almost become one-sided massacres.

Xiao Shao has always brought the habit of killers to the battlefield. In the eyes of the royal guards, the enemy can not be called the enemy, but can only become prey, so killing becomes instinct. Everyone knows why Jiang Xinzhi and Xiao Shao are so crazy, because Xuanli abducted Jiang Ruan and killed her.

Xuanli was willing to make this decision, probably because he had Jiang Ruan in his hands. As long as the royal guards don't show up, Xuan Pei's people can only draw with him. Who knows that Yuanchuan's last plot is to count him in, so he and Xiao Shao become enemies, and those who are against the royal guards would have been more difficult to walk in the world.

In addition, xuanpei was in charge of the court and was in good order. Those officials who were still uncertain about their position and had a fluke mind in the fight for the right were also arranged and dealt with by xuanpei one by one. Xuanpei's efforts to support Xin's ministers, many of whom had followed his confidants at the beginning. He gave them a clear reward and punishment, and his behavior of settling accounts after autumn also made them realize that the young emperor was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He had been watching everyone's every move for a long time, but he just couldn't restrain it before.

But no matter how fierce the war is, no matter how frequent the news of victory is. No matter the emperor or the general's office, Jiang Xinzhi or Xiao Shao, they all had no joy. Xiao Shao, in particular, is colder than ever in his daily work and meal. It seems that there is nothing in the world that can be reflected in his eyes.

"No news yet?" Housekeeper Lin should be a new minister of the imperial court now. Lin Wei looks at Xiao Shao, who is standing in the courtyard and doesn't know what he is thinking, and asks him.

Qi Feng shook his head. These days, Xiao Shao never gave up looking for Jiang Ruan. The royal guards of every place have been informed, but such a large-scale search has no result, which may mean something. Xiao Shao was a calm and rational man. He could not have known this, but he insisted that Jiang Ruan was not dead. At the beginning, the royal guards wanted to find some ashes in the burned temple and set up a burial mound for Jiang Ruan. When Xiao Shao saw them, they were furious. They just cut the burial mound into pieces and severely punished the royal guards. From then on, no one dared to mention the whereabouts of Jiang Ruan in front of Xiao Shao.

Since Xiao Shao insisted on this wish, what could they do? Just want a person to keep hopeless hope, is generally some sad people look at it.

Lin Wei sighed and said, "let's go." He was about to leave, but he saw that Jin Er didn't know where he was coming from. He looked very excited. He held something up and ignored the lightness skill. He ran in a hurry and cried, "master, master, I have news!"

Qi Feng and Lin Wei are stunned at the same time. Then they quickly walk towards them. Xiao Shao turns his head. Jin Er is too excited to pay attention to the courtesy of his master and servant. As soon as Qi Feng and Lin Wei come near, they hear Jin Er's voice: "young master, someone has found the jewelry of young lady in the pawnshop in the south of the city!".

Jiang Ruan sewed the last stitch on her little coat, took her mouth to break the thread, and tied a knot skillfully. She was very skilled in doing these things. Sister GUI couldn't help praising her. She also said that she looked like a lady from a big family. She must have never done any rough work. Who knew that the dress was more skillful than the village tailor.

Jiang Ruan laughs. She once lived in Chuang Tzu for a long time. At that time, she could not finish embroidery every day. Naturally, she could practice needlework. After returning to Shangshu house, she seldom touched the needle and thread, but now she is happy to think about her children, and it's also fun to do needle and thread. From spring to summer, these days, I have to catch up with some cool summer coats. They are all made of cotton, and feel very comfortable.

Guisao said: "although it's well done, lady Ruan still doesn't do too much. You should know that your time of childbirth is approaching, but don't miss anything. Take a good rest these days, and the weather is hot. Let me do these things. " Looking at Jiang Ruan's stomach, she couldn't put down her hand and touched it: "look at this big belly, it must be a big fat boy."

Jiang Ruan also looked down at his belly, reached out and touched it, as if he could feel the child kicking himself. Life here is much easier than that in the outside world before. Maybe it's because this place is remote and isolated from the world. People here don't plan to live. Anyway, it's very suitable for her to have a baby here.

Just then, there was a voice of reproach, and it seemed that there was a child's low sobbing. Jiang Ruan and sister-in-law GUI were all stunned. They watched the big mountain pull the small mountain over. The small mountain drooped his head, and tears still hung on his face."What's the matter?" Sister GUI asked, "Dashan, are you bullying Xiaoshan again?"

"Niang, I didn't bully Xiaoshan!" Dashan was still angry. He looked at Xiaoshan and said, "tell Niang and Ruan what you have done!"

Sister GUI and Jiang Ruan looked at each other, but it had something to do with Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan said with a smile: "don't worry, Dashan. Xiaoshan is still young and doesn't understand. You can scare him so easily. What happened to the hill? " She spent all her days here in guisao's house. Dashan's two brothers were her saviors, and they were very sincere to her. They should have been grateful to others. It's just that she can't repay them now.

On hearing this, Xiaoshan burst into tears, which made Jiang Ruan feel more inexplicable. Dashan sighed and stood in front of Jiang Ruan with shame. He saluted Jiang Ruan and said, "I'm sorry, madam Ruan. This boy stole your jewelry and sold it off."

Sister GUI stood up and looked at the hill's face. She said angrily, "hill! What do I usually teach you? If we don't steal, we don't rob, we don't do anything furtive. Why are you so worthless? Are you worthy of your father Sister GUI's eyes were red with anger when she said that, and she was almost ready to shed tears. She was also angry and wanted to hit the hill.

"Don't be angry, sister GUI." Jiang Ruan quickly advised that she would go to protect her with a bad body and said, "Xiaoshan certainly didn't mean it. Listen to the children first. "

Xiaoshan sobbed: "Qionghua's grandmother is ill. She wants expensive medicine to continue her life. Doctor Wang doesn't have those medicine either. She has to be in the capital. Qionghua's family was poor and couldn't afford the money. I and I thought that Ruan Niangzi's jewelry might be valuable, so I stole it and pawned it. But I'm living. When I have money, I will redeem it for lady Ruan. "

Has Jiang Ruan lived here for a long time? Naturally, he has heard about Qionghua's family. Qionghua's family only has her and her grandmother. Qionghua's grandmother is old now, and she is in her twilight years. Qionghua is about to find a little partner to complain. Xiaoshan and Qionghua grew up together, but they can't afford so much money. So he thought that Jiang Ruan would bring some jewelry when she came here I took it off because I was pregnant.

Guisao was stunned. She didn't expect Xiaoshan to steal Jiang Ruan's jewelry for such a reason. This behavior is really unreasonable, but it is out of kindness. "Then you shouldn't steal the jewelry of Lady Ruan," she said angrily

Xiaoshan cried: "my mother taught us to repay each other by dripping water. After my father left, my mother had a hard time. Granny Qionghua helped us a lot. Now she is in trouble. We can't stand by. But I don't have any money. All those jewels are dead. I'm borrowing from Lady Ruan. I'll pay them back in the future. "

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment, and said: "hill, it's far away from the outside, and there are more than ten miles to the capital. How did you get out?"

"I went out on my own," he said. I went out after several days. A few days ago, I said that I would go to play with ER Gouzi in the mountains and be something. "

Sister GUI took a breath. After all, Xiaoshan is still a child. It's tiring to walk for a few days. Which mother does not love her son, especially sister-in-law GUI and her two sons depend on each other. Naturally, the resentment in her heart soon dissipated. He just looked at the hill and said, "what a fool! Why don't you tell your mother and your elder brother? "

"I, I'm afraid my mother and elder brother won't agree, but only lady Ruan's jewelry can save granny Qionghua."

Jiang Ruan said with a smile: "sister GUI, who doesn't get in the way, saving one life is better than building a seven level pagoda. Those jewelry are not worth a few dollars. Besides, I'm pregnant now and I can't use it any more. They are all dead things. It's better to exchange money for medical treatment. My life was saved by Dashan and Xiaoshan. You gave me a shelter again, sister-in-law GUI. You have been taking care of me for such a long time. I have nothing to repay. I wanted to give you those jewelry as a compensation for my nagging these days. Xiaoshan is still a child. The important thing is that he is kind-hearted and doesn't steal it on purpose. I don't think sister GUI should blame him any more. "

Xiaoshan rubbed his eyes and looked at Jiang Ruan without saying anything, but sister-in-law GUI was a little embarrassed, and even said, "how can that be? Ruan Niang Zi, Dashan, they should have saved you. What compensation do you say? We really can't take it back. Let Xiaoshan tell me the amount of silver and we can redeem it again. "

Jiang Ruan shook his head: "but it's all external things. It's not important. There's no need to redeem them. But it's Xiaoshan. What danger did you encounter when you went out from here? Didn't you meet anyone? " What she worried about was another matter. Before, people who were afraid of Yuanchuan were still wandering outside, so they didn't dare to show up easily. What she saved was falling into Hukou again. Would Xiaoshan go out with his jewelry and be discovered?

The hill shook his head and said, "No

Jiang Ruan thought, "is there anything happening in the capital recently?"

Xiaoshan thought, "the capital is at war. There are people everywhere." They were deep in the world, so they didn't know the name of Xuanli very well.

On hearing this, sister-in-law GUI was very anxious: "if you run out during the war, you don't want to think about what happened. What can I do with your elder brother? You're not hurt, are you? " Just now, she still wanted to eat people. Now she couldn't help caring about her children's safety. The more she thought about it, the more upset she was. She grabbed Xiaoshan's ear and went to the house: "no, I have to see." She told Dashan: "Dashan, look at Niang Ruan and don't let her carry heavy things." Then he took the hill away.After sister-in-law GUI and Xiaoshan left, Dashan and Jiang Ruan were the only two left. Dashan looked at Jiang Ruan at a loss and finally said bravely, "I'm sorry, Ruan. I didn't teach Xiaoshan well."

Jiang Ruan returned to his senses and said with a smile, "what does it matter? Xiaoshan didn't mean it. Besides, it's all about saving people. You don't have to worry about Dashan. " As she spoke, she remembered what Xiaoshan had just said about the situation in the capital. Xiaoshan said that there was a war in the capital, but she didn't say what it was. She didn't know what happened to Xiao Shao now. What about Xuan Pei and big brother?

Dashan also guessed that Jiang Ruan was lost because of Xiaoshan's words. But Dashan thinks that Jiang Ruan is thinking of her husband, who abused her and cheated her and wanted her life. In Dashan's eyes, Jiang Ruan is gentle and kind-hearted. He must have been impatient for his husband. Dashan felt a little aggrieved by Jiang Ruan Ming. He thought of Jiang Ruan as a better man and said, "Lady Ruan In fact, you don't have to think about the past. You should look forward to those who don't cherish you. Let them go. "

He summoned up the courage to finish these words, and his face immediately turned red. Jiang Ruan looked at him in amazement. Naturally, she could see the young man's affection for her. These days, he was very considerate. Jiang Ruan kept a distance from him politely, but the child was also a single-minded person. He lived in such a simple environment, but he never changed his mind.

Dashan looked at Jiang Ruan's bright face and said, "Lady Ruan can actually stay. I Xiaoshan likes you very much, too. I and I can help take care of the child in Ruan's belly. I can teach him archery. "

This kind of implicit expression is almost the acme that Dashan can say. This is the first time he said such words to a woman. For him, it doesn't matter that Jiang Ruan married and had his own children. He wants to take care of this woman sincerely.

Jiang Ruan was also stunned for a moment. If she was put in the outside world, she would be a real concubine. No matter how poor her life experience was, no good man would want him. But it's different here. Dashan was so young that he could have found a better girl, but he still expressed his heart to her.

Jiang Ruan looked at the young man in front of him. He was like a sun that had not been infected by the outside world. She said with a smile, "thank you, but Dashan, I can take care of him myself."

Her words were calm without any ups and downs. Obviously, her mood did not change because of Dashan's words.

Dashan looked at her in disappointment and asked, "it's because...". Can't Ruan forget him? "

Jiang Ruan was about to answer with a smile when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She could not help but put out a hand to cover her abdomen. But the pain was getting bigger and bigger, almost more and more intense. Without a groan, she bent down on one side of the pillar.

"Lady Ruan?" Dashan was stunned at first. Seeing Jiang Ruan's uncomfortable appearance, he was also flustered in his heart. He hurried over, ignoring the defense of men and women. He helped Jiang Ruan and said, "Lady Ruan, what's the matter with you?"

"It hurts." Jiang Ruan frowned and said that his face was as white as paper for a moment. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Dashan called out: "Niang! Niang, Ruan Niang is not good! "

Sister GUI was teaching Xiaoshan a lesson in her room. When she heard Dashan's words, she ran out of the room. She was shocked to see Jiang Ruan's appearance. She said quickly, "what's the matter?" Then he came to help Jiang Ruan. He was surprised to see clearly Jiang Ruan's look. Then he said, "no, I'm afraid I'm going to have a baby." "Dashan," she said, "go to the village and call Mrs. Yu. She says that Mrs. Ruan is going to give birth. I'll take her back to the house first."

Dashan answered and went out of the door. Sister GUI carefully helped Jiang Ruan to the bed in the room. At the moment, Jiang Ruan was already sweating with pain. She just bit her teeth to stop herself crying. Looking at it, sister-in-law GUI felt distressed and said, "don't hold on, lady Ruan. It's just that the baby has just started to move. I don't know when it will start. Now don't use up your strength. I immediately asked someone to cook some brown sugar eggs. At least she had some strength, so that she could give birth to the baby smoothly. "

It's the first time for Jiang Ruan to have children in his past and present life. It's just how calm he is. There is no fear in his heart. But she has always been rational and calm, is obediently nodded to sister-in-law GUI, said: "good."

Guisao went to ask the daughter-in-law next door to help cook the eggs. She sat by the bed with Jiang Ruan herself. She took Jiang Ruan's hand and comforted him not to be afraid. Jiang Ruan was in a trance and unconsciously called Xiao Shao's name out: "ah Shao..."

At this moment, Xiao Shao, who is coming here quickly outside the capital, is pulling his horse. For some reason, he is suddenly stunned. Jiang Xinzhi, who is close to him, sees him and asks, "what's the matter?"

Xiao Shao pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "nothing."
