Yutai Bi

Chapter 274 Scared 1
With the diagnosis of twins, Mrs. Du was overjoyed, but she dared not speak out.All he said was to celebrate Cen Sanniang's birthday.

Cen Sanniang should be full this year.

Seeing the joy of the old lady.Du Yanwan booed at the side again.It was decided that only close female relatives should be invited to the house for dinner.

The post was sent to Cen Siniang, Du Jingshu, and Xiao Wei from the Li family was invited.The patriarch's wife of the first room of the Du family, and the aunts of the second room, Wei Xiaowan.Together with Du Yanwan and Zou Shi, two tables were set up lively.

Zhang's filial piety was only two years old, Cen Sanniang was not wearing red, she wore a light pink double-breasted sleeve, with a thin layer of makeup applied, and was supported by Ah Qiu and Xia Chu to sit at a table with her peers.

Xu hadn't seen the mansion so lively for a long time.Mrs. Du got greedy and drank a jug of fruit wine.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but Mrs. Liu, who usually couldn't hold down the chopsticks after drinking and drinking, looked very strange.He dodged his eyes, stopped rushing to speak, and turned into a saw-jawed gourd.

Mrs. Du said with a smile: "His aunt, it's rare that you don't have a good appetite, and even eat less of your favorite mutton pot. Remember that you are the one who eats half a pot of soup and four meat buns!"

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed.

Mrs. Liu blurted out: "The third aunt treats me well, and I'm not someone who doesn't know how to repay kindness. I feel sad..." Tears welled up in her eyes, she took out her handkerchief and began to cry
Wei Xiaowan hurriedly got up and walked over, tugged at Liu Shi's sleeve and said, "Mother! Today is Sanniang Fangchen..."

Mrs. Du smiled with the strength of wine: "What's difficult for his aunt, auntie will definitely help. Let's put away the tears and be happy."

Mrs. Liu wiped her tears, couldn't help but glanced at Cen Sanniang, and concealed: "It's nothing serious..." She was always outspoken, but now she was forced to say a reason that made everyone laugh, "Sanniang It's about to give birth, Sanlang is two years older than Brother Jiu, and my daughter-in-law hasn't moved yet."

Wei Xiaowan blushed with embarrassment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "Mother, there's no such comparison. How can you call your daughter-in-law to meet people in the future!"

"Hey, it's my mother who has a picture!"

The two of them covered up the matter with one word and one word.There was another sound of joy during the banquet.

At this time, a woman rushed in from outside the second door and shouted loudly: "Old madam, young madam is bad! The Habayashi army has surrounded our house!"

It can only be the order of the palace to make Yulin Palace encircle the mansion.

For the palace to pass down the order to encircle the mansion, it must be Du Yansui who has made a big deal.

The wine glass in Mrs. Du's hand fell to the table with a bang.

The faces of the female relatives changed one after another.

Du Yanwan suddenly stood up, pointed at the woman and said sharply: "A woman guarding the second door dares to break the rules and break into the Zhengqi hall, drag me down!"

The mother-in-law rolled her eyes and tried her best to break away from the person who came to pull her, rushed towards Cen Sanniang, and shouted: "Young Madam, something serious happened to the Duke! The Habayashi Army in the palace came to raid the house and seize people! "

The voice was so high-pitched and sharp that the hearts of all present were beating wildly.

Du Yanwan picked up her own bowl and threw it at the woman, hitting her forehead, and her face was full of peach blossoms.Taking advantage of the woman's panic, Du Yanwan yelled: "Hurry up and shut up and pull her out!"

Seeing the woman being dragged away, Du Yanwan turned to look at Cen Sanniang: "The news is unknown, sister-in-law, don't be fooled!"

Cen Sanniang's heart tightened, she sat quietly, and slowly revealed a smile on her face: "She is the woman guarding the second gate, it's really so serious, the Habayashi Army has already rushed in. Besides, Director Du is still in the front yard Woolen cloth."

She turned her head to look at Mrs. Du: "Grandmother drank two glasses of wine too much, Mother Yin, go and bring the hangover soup."

Du Jingwan was stunned by her calmness.

At this time, Fang's mother came from the outside in a hurry, with sweat on her forehead, her expression was still calm: "Mr. Du came to report outside, and the leader was a captain from Habayashi Guard, who wanted to see the old lady. I heard that The mansion is celebrating the young lady's birthday, and the inner hall is full of female relatives, so they are waiting in the front yard's meeting hall."

It was the Habayashi Army who came, but they were very polite.Mrs. Du's mind relaxed, she stood up while supporting Mother Yin's hand, and staggered.

"Grandmother, you are happy today, and you ate two more glasses. Let's rest. Yanwan, please stay with grandma. I will treat everyone slowly today." Cen Sanniang also stood up, and said as calmly as possible.

The Duke's Mansion has something to do, so naturally we can no longer entertain everyone.

Little Webster led Du Jingshu to leave, with an unusually calm voice: "You are about to give birth, and when the sky is falling at this time, you have to take care of yourself first."

Cen Sanniang nodded gratefully: "Don't worry, Auntie. The sky won't fall."

Seeing her confident and calm, Little Webster hummed.

Du Jingshu blinked at her, and Cen Sanniang understood that Li Shangzhi would not ignore the Duke's Mansion.

After the two left, Cen Siniang said to her: "I just received a letter from Sanlang's family two days ago, saying that the army has broken through He Lu's tooth tent in Jinyashan. You can rest assured."

Cen Sanniang was even more grateful.Now that the army has reached the tooth tent, it is not far from the period of great victory.As long as the battle is won, the family will not be copied and exterminated.

Both the first and second members of the Du family bid farewell.Wei Xiaowan tugged at Liu Shi, but Liu Shi couldn't hold back anymore and said: "San Niang, it seems that someone is going to sue the Duke, you, be careful. I listened to what Xiao Wan said."

Wei Xiaowan bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Sanniang, it's not that I want to spoil the scenery, I just heard about it from her natal family. Cui Zhongdong sent a letter, but I don't know the details. My mother and sister told me to tell you quickly. I'm afraid..." His eyes fell on Cen Sanniang's towering abdomen, and he stopped talking.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your reminder. Thank you, Mrs. Santang, too. Go to your house."

The Wei family got the bad news, and they wanted to mention the Duke's Mansion, fearing that they wanted to surprise her.Wei Xiaowan didn't say anything, but she was kind.Cen Sanniang was already very grateful that she could do this.

After seeing off people, Mrs. Zou also said goodbye: "Sanniang, staying here won't help the matter. Why don't you go home and discuss with your father and elder brother. I'll take Bao'er back home first."

Du Yanwan helped Mrs. Du into the house and lay down, stood at the door and said loudly: "Little aunt, let's go home and tell Dalang. There must be no one in the house at this time. I am the daughter of the Du family. If there is any emergency, please treat him kindly." My daughter!"

Cen Sanniang smiled wryly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about. I'm not afraid of dying young master! If you want to leave, you can't if there is no one in the Duke's Mansion, and I won't chase you away. Just serve grandma honestly."

"Sister-in-law! Those Habayashi soldiers are all rough men with evil spirits on their bodies, so they might run into you. I'm going to see the captain!" Du Yanwan said anxiously.

Smiling, she asked Fang's mother to send Zou Shi away.Cen Sanniang ordered the soft sedan chair to be prepared, glanced at Du Yanwan and said, "There is Mr. Du in the front yard with guards, and he didn't come to raid the house. What are you afraid of? You are a married aunt, and I kept you here because I am afraid that grandma will not be able to bear it. Otherwise, I will I kicked you out early."

Du Jingwan has a fiery temper. In the early years, the Cui family forced her to marry, and she brought the guards to the door, but Cen Sanniang slapped her back.Since then, she has been convinced by Cen Sanniang.Hearing what she said calmly, she stomped her feet and entered the house.

The soft sedan carried Cen Sanniang, guarded by four maids, and slowly left the inner courtyard to the meeting hall.

There have been eight large screens placed in front of the hall, and several charcoal basins have been raised.The maids supported Cen Sanniang to sit on the couch at the other end of the screen, carefully wrapped her up with a fox fur shawl, and brewed a pot of eight-treasure warm tea.

Director Du got up and said respectfully: "Young Madam, the Habayashi Army has come here by order. This is Colonel Qiu."

Captain Qiu clasped his fists to salute, the armor on his body rattled: "Habayashi Military Academy Captain Qiu Shi has seen Mrs. Cai Guogong. The last general was ordered to guard Cai Guogong's mansion, and the people in the mansion are not allowed to enter or leave. If there is any offense, Madam please forgive me."

Hearing that the surname was Qiu, Cen Sanniang laughed: "You have a brother who works as a county captain in the Chang'an government office?"

Qiu Xiaowei was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered, his face blushed, and his tone softened a lot: "Exactly."

Cen Sanniang took a sip of warm tea and said softly, "Forgive me for being pregnant, so it's inconvenient to show up. Manager Du, ask the kitchen to make some hot tea for the Habayashi army outside the mansion. Captain Qiu, sit down. They are all old acquaintances for many years It's cool outside, drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach."

Qiu Xiaowei hesitated for a while, remembered his friendship with Li Shangzhi, and sat down.

The chamber is as warm as spring.

Through the eight screens painted with peonies on white silk, Qiu Xiaowei could only see the blurred figure of Cen Sanniang on the couch at the other end of the screen.He remembered that his lecherous father wanted to rape the maid next to Cen Sanniang a few years ago.Later, when he heard that Cen Sanniang was the granddaughter of the Li family in Shengyefang, Mr. Qiu was so frightened that he passed away on the spot.When Li Shangzhi went to pick up Cen Sanniang, he quietly stood by and saw Cen Sanniang coming out of the yard.It was a delicate and delicate girl.Who would have thought that a few years later, she would become the first-rank Duke's wife.

"The Habayashi Army guards the Duke's Mansion, but they got the Holy Majesty's will?"

The soft voice awakened Captain Qiu in his memory.He froze for a moment, then blurted out, "It's not the emperor's will."

Director Du was startled when he heard the words, and his expression turned ugly.

Cen Sanniang has also been counted as someone who has entered the palace and paid homage to the queen in the past few years.I still know a thing or two about those big rules.If there was a decree, he would have already yelled arrogantly for the people from the Duke's Mansion to come out to receive the decree.If it wasn't the emperor's will, the Habayashi army would dare to seal the door?What a strange thing!She continued to ask: "Was it the empress's will?"

Qiu Xiaowei's scalp tingled, and he also felt that something was wrong: "...not at all."

He hastily added: "The last general is only acting according to Shangfeng's orders."
