Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space
Chapter 253 Keeping the Tiger Talisman
After Sun and Li Jinfeng left, Jiang Xiaoxiao and her mother did not return to the Huang family's house. Instead, they got on the carriage and prepared to return to the village.
On the way back to the village, Jiang Xiaoxiao saw children in the village throwing stones into Li's yard again.
Mrs. Li used a broom to drive away people, but this time, there were not only children, but also Aunt Guihua and Uncle Zhou's wife. Several people threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs into the Li family's yard.
Old Mrs. Li was hit with stones and her head was covered in bruises. Before she could curse, Aunt Guihua poured a bucket of smelly swill on her.
Aunt Guihua lost her daughter and hated the Li family deeply. Now she is not merciless in dealing with the Li family.
"Old Li's family, get out of our village!"
"Do you want to disobey the county magistrate's order? Get out of our village!"
"That's right, you go quickly, don't cause trouble to our village!"
……
More and more villagers gathered outside the Li family courtyard, and everyone shouted in unison that the Li family must be expelled from the village.
The mother and daughter did not join in the fun. After watching for a while, they silently drove the carriage home.
The Li family can't stay in the village for long. Even if the villagers don't drive them away, Li Zheng will take back the Li family's ancestral homestead in less than two days. By then, the Li family will have no place to live and will naturally leave.
The carriage stopped at the door of his house. As soon as Jiang Xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of his house.
She was stunned for a moment, then recognized the figure as Shen Que, and exclaimed in surprise: "Master Shen?"
Hearing the sound, Shen Que turned to look at her, with a smile on his usually calm face: "Xiaoxiao, you are back."
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked forward in surprise and couldn't help but said: "Master Shen, I thought you had returned to the capital. Fortunately, you didn't leave, otherwise no one would teach me martial arts..."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was visibly happy to see Shen Que back. She took Shen Que's big hand and talked a lot.
Shen Que only responded silently without making a sound.
Jiang Wei, who was beside him, saw the clues and said calmly: "Xiaoxiao, let's talk after we come in."
"Well, okay!" Jiang Xiaoxiao suppressed her inner joy, pulled Shen Que in, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Shen, we are eating braised rabbit meat today, please help me catch the rabbit!"
"Okay." Shen Que responded.
The two went to the backyard hand in hand.
Jiang Wei followed behind, looking at Shen Que's slightly forlorn back, and frowned slightly.
She did not follow him, but led the horse into the stable, and then went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for braised rabbit meat.
……
Lunch was very rich.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Shen Que not only caught rabbits but also two chickens in the backyard, and made chicken stewed with mushrooms. They slowly simmered them over low heat, added mushrooms, sesame oil, wine, sugar and other spices, and stewed them until the ingredients were crispy and tender.
The green vegetables that had been planted in the yard were also ripe. Jiang Wei picked some fresh green grass that had just sprouted, stir-fried it with lard, then took out four eggs from the chicken coop, spread out an extra large egg cake, and finally beat them. I had a big bowl of egg and green onion soup.
Shen Que looked at the table full of rich food, and the wry smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious.
Did she know that he was leaving, so she prepared such a rich meal for him to say goodbye...
During this meal, the three of them all ate in unusual silence.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Wei silently cleared away the dishes. Shen Que wanted to come to help, but was stopped by Jiang Wei. She glanced at Jiang Xiaoxiao, who had his head down and was depressed, and said, "If you have anything to do, please tell me as soon as possible."
After saying that, he took the bowls and chopsticks to the well in the yard.
Shen Que sighed, and finally came to Jiang Xiaoxiao and said hesitantly: "Xiaoxiao..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoxiao raised his head and said, "Master Shen, can you not leave..."
Shen Que was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao's uncomfortable expression, and shook his head decisively: "No."
"Why, do you know that once you return to the capital, you will..." Jiang Xiaoxiao bit her lip lightly to stop the word "death" that was about to blurt out later.
Shen Que understood what she meant.
He closed his eyes hard, and then slowly said: "I know, but I have to go. Your brother Jiang is still waiting for me in the capital. I have to save him..."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Jiang Xiaoxiao's hair and smiled: "Don't worry, Jiang Yu will be back to see you in a few months."
Jiang Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said no more.
She knew very well that no matter how she tried to stop it, things would still develop according to the original plot.
When Shen Que returns to Beijing, even if he can get Jiang Yu back, the only thing waiting for him is death.
There is no way, their opponent is the one sitting on the Dragon Throne...
No matter how powerful they are, they cannot resist the imperial power.
"Xiaoxiao, please promise me something, okay?" At this moment, Shen Que suddenly took out something from his arms and gently stuffed it into her palm. "I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. Can you help me?" I'm keeping this thing. If one day... I'm gone, please give it to Jiang Yu for me."
Feeling the feeling of something hard in the palm of her hand, Jiang Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes subconsciously, and her heart skipped a beat.
It's a tiger talisman.
It is a tiger talisman that can mobilize thousands of troops!
"I, I don't want..." Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously refused.
Shen Que handed over such an important thing to her because he was determined to return to Beijing with death!
"This is what the late emperor gave me to the Shen family. Nowadays, wars on the border are raging one after another and have never stopped. Among the three armies fighting, my Shen family army accounts for two-thirds. My eldest brother is the only general who can command the three armies. When my father died, I The eldest brother became ill and couldn't bear it... Finally, the tiger talisman was handed over to me for safekeeping."
Shen Que looked at the tiger charm in his hand and slowly talked about the past.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao heard the meaning behind his words: "What you mean...does it mean that the Holy One wants the tiger talisman in the hands of your Shen family?"
Otherwise, when General Shen died, why did the eldest brother of the Shen family who inherited the Tiger Talisman suddenly fall ill... Such a coincidence makes it hard not to suspect that the royal family was responsible.
"That's right." Shen Que nodded heavily, "If this tiger talisman falls into the hands of...that person, the soldiers who have guarded the border for twenty years of peace will soon be withdrawn. Without those soldiers to protect their homes and country, the people of Dayin Will face invasion from enemy countries..."
By that time, people were in ruins and the people were miserable. The royal family and nobles far away in the capital were accustomed to the comfortable life of waiting for work, and they would never have the courage to deal with the enemy's attack.
At that time, those losers will only sacrifice innocent people and cede territory to compensate the enemy.
Jiang Xiaoxiao fell silent after listening to Shen Que's words.
He is right. In the original work, Dayin Kingdom did fall into a period of turmoil shortly after Shen Que's death.
The national turmoil caused by the war, coupled with the imperial court forcing local officials to increase taxes, squeeze and exploit the people, and levy men into corvee, made the lives of the poor who were not already wealthy even worse. (End of chapter)
