Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 130

Nanluo, Jia County, Weifu.

"Jiu Niang, my parents wrote to say that they and the children have arrived in Yujing. Thank you, father-in-law, for your care along the way. My parents heard that Fengyang's army was stationed in nearby Luo County, and they were very worried about our safety, so they urged us to Also leave for Yujing as soon as possible to meet them. I have been arranging the shops and the salt mining caravan in our house for the past two days, and you also count the people who are going to sell at home. "Wei San took the letter and walked in through the curtain excitedly, walked up to Jiuniang, bowed solemnly to Jiuniang, "Thank you, madam!"

"Xianggong, get up. Jiuniang just did what she should do." Jiuniang put down the round fan she was holding in her hand, and stretched out her hand to pick up her third master Wei, who is currently the head of Xianggongwei's family.

Speaking of which, the two have been together for 14 years since Xi Jia got married on Shishi.In the past 14 years, the third master of the Wei family has treated her well.When she was caught between her husband's family and her mother's family in Nanluoyangai, he never scolded her at all, and he always defended and helped her in-laws when they made things difficult for her.Later, behind his father-in-law's back, he handed over the caravan of Wei's family in Neihai and the new route that they barely opened up.It was precisely because of this act of surrender that the Wei family survived the Nanluoyan reform.Later, slowly relying on management, the business grew bigger and bigger.

The business has grown in other fields, but the salt industry has weakened.From the perspective of the outside world, it is indeed not as profitable as the semicolons such as the Liu family and the Lu family.It can be seen that for the sake of the history of the Nangong salt transportation, the Wei family's salt royal family will also secretly collect it.

Also because of the many times of caring for her in-law's family during the salt reform, her in-laws began to treat her sincerely. Later, she also gave birth to her own child, and her life was very ordinary and happy.In this life, she originally thought that she would live like this.Until the southern gongs and beacons broke out.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave Nanluo with her son-in-law and go to Yujing to join her natal family.But back then, when her father left Nanluo and returned to Beijing, all the forces along Nanluo were handed over to her.On weekdays, of course, she doesn't need to deliver the news herself, but she does the control of the subordinates and the screening of the news by herself.

It's just because his father said back then that the Nanluo faction is a life-saving talisman of the Du family, and it cannot be thrown away, broken, and cannot be easily shown to others.So for the sake of the Du family and his father's entrustment, she has been hiding it from him.

After Ninth Brother arrived in Fengyang, he had sent someone to contact her. The family hoped that she would be safe in Nanluo now, and when Ninth Brother found an opportunity, she would come to Nanluo to take over.

After that, the imperial court besieged Fengyang for half a year. When the soldiers were exhausted, the King of Fengyang led his troops to escape from the secret road.Three cities were captured in Luo County, and three of the thirteen counties in Nanluo were lost.Her ninth younger brother led his troops to pursue, even though they are in Nanluo now, they really don't have the time to take over the Du family's power in Nanluo.Therefore, this hot potato is still in her hands, Du Jiuniang.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you today? You're worried." Seeing Jiuniang's worried face, Wei San hurriedly supported her on the soft couch by the window,
"This autumn tiger is vicious. Is Madam suffering from heat stroke? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

Picking up the round fan that Jiu Niang left behind, while fanning the wind for Jiu Niang, he stretched out his hand to caress her forehead, "Shut up when you feel uncomfortable, don't always bear it because you are afraid of crying."

"Sanggong, can you talk to me?" Jiu Niang looked at the concerned eyes of the person next to her pillow and asked in a low voice, "Just for a while."

These days, Wei San is really busy in order to appease the servants at home and arrange for the fleeing servants.

Wei San was taken aback when he heard the words, he hadn't seen his wife in such a difficult situation for a long time.Could it be that he naughtily pinched his wife's face,
"Okay, as a husband, I will stay with Jiuniang at home and not go anywhere."

"You all go down." Jiu Niang waved her hands to let all the maids go down to guard the gate.

When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Jiu Niang got up from the soft couch and looked at Wei San seriously, "Master, Jiu Niang can't follow you to Yujing. But don't worry, Jiu Niang has already repaired a letter." , you take it to Yujing, and the Du family will take care of our family."

"I was wondering when Madam was going to tell me? It was sooner than I expected." Wei San took the letter from Jiu Niang and put it aside, "What is the plan for my father-in-law? After so many years , the Du family cultivated power in Nanluo, but they didn't send anyone to take it over, so he is relieved of you."

"You?" Jiu Niang pressed down Wei San's hand shaking the fan, "You know all about it?"

"You and I have been husband and wife for fourteen years. Don't I know you? You love children so much, you are willing to leave your four-year-old sister? I just thought, what is it that makes a mother who loves her son like her life put herself hand over your child to someone else to take with you to escape?"

"I will confirm it after seeing my ninth brother."

"It was a vague idea, but after seeing your ninth brother, I thought of someone. It made me understand."

"Then you're not angry?" Jiu Niang asked cautiously.

"I was very angry at first, but then I thought, if I were you, I would probably make the same choice. After all, there are dead eggs under the overturned nest! You are a woman from the Du family, and I, Wei San, admire you." Wei San touched Touching Jiuniang's wide-open eyes, she said pitifully, "I don't interfere with your family's affairs, you can handle them yourself; but as your husband, you have to promise me that in case of danger, you must keep yourself safe." Get out of Jia County."

"Thank you, Jiu Niang, for your understanding. Don't worry, if something happens here, I will go to Yujing to find you and the children immediately."

"Who told Madam that I will leave Jia County?" Wei San smiled, "The shopkeepers of the Nalan family, the Liu family, and the Chen family branch came to me and asked me to go to Fengyang with them. I have collected some food and clothes, and I am going to take a detour to the inner sea, and go out to sea with the caravan to send the supplies to the soldiers over there."

"Do you know the identities of the three shopkeepers?" Jiu Niang tentatively asked, "Your place is not peaceful, so you can prepare more."

"Madam, don't worry, follow His Majesty's caravan. Although danger is unavoidable, but you can do your part for the people of Daliang, and you are willing to do it for your husband."

"Sir, since your heart is like a mirror, Jiu Niang wishes you a smooth journey." Jiu Niang looked at her man, and sure enough, this man also kept many things from her.But as long as he has her and the children in his heart, he doesn't need to care about the rest.

"Madam can try to pass this news to the person in the palace. Compared with her knowing, it will be safer for her husband, and your family will go further."

"Thank you, husband." Jiu Niang instantly understood her husband's plan, Ghost Fox.

"To each other. You dismissed the family servants and announced to the outside world that you will return to Yujing. After that, you can withdraw to your family's forces. Be careful when you go out."

"You too, I'm waiting for you to come back, and our family will be reunited." Jiu Niang hugged Wei San tightly, and tears finally flowed down her eyes.

On the same day, the Wei Mansion dismissed the servants, and the madam took a personal servant girl and went out of the city in a carriage to go to Yujing to join relatives.

The news of Nanluojia County spread to the ears of the emperor and concubine, and it was another game.

The residence outside Fengyang City, the emperor's big tent.

"There was news from Ding Kui that under the persecution of him, Ding Wei and Ding Si, Wei San agreed to spend most of the Wei family's assets to buy and sell supplies, and took them along the inland sea route to escort the supplies to Fengyang in person for support." Xin After Yin received the news, he quickly reported back to the emperor, "It's just that I don't understand that our people can also come from Nanluo to transfer food and grass to support Fengyang and besiege Fengyang. Why do we have to take care of the Wei family?"

The emperor put down the defense map in his hand, picked up a pen and drew the terrain, and replied, "I have only recovered most of the power in Nanluo, and the news network along the route is not complete. Du Qing has been in Nanluo for nearly ten years, and Nanluo has received his favor. I don’t know how many people. I have been looking for opportunities to take back the contacts and relationships he helped the Du family build in Nanluo. The salt in Nanluo is the lifeblood of the empire’s economy. If I don’t completely hold it in my own hands, I can’t sleep. Practical."

"So Cousin wants to use the Wei family to force the Du family to spit out their power in Nanluo, or let the Du family's power in Nanluo be used by you?" Xin Yin bowed to the emperor, "Uncle, you are really far-sighted! "

Facing Xin Yin's slightly sarcastic compliment, the emperor put down his pen and stretched out two fingers, "There are two methods for Nanluo's influence, one is that I am running out of time or there is an accident, then this Nanluo is their mother." A life talisman. At that time, it will be their help. You should help your good master at the critical moment. Secondly, if I am still alive, then the power of Nanluo must be withdrawn. It’s not worth the loss if you become a moth of the country. After all, there are rich and prosperous towns along the Nanluo line, and the factions in the south of the Yangtze River enrich their own pockets, and it’s our people who suffer. If everything is snuffed out before it’s sprouted, wouldn’t it be safe?”

"I've never seen you cursing yourself." Xin Yin curled his lips, "With me personally following you and serving as your hidden guard, those people can easily enter your body? Besides, I'm a good and poisonous society Doctor, who can take it from me? As long as you don’t rush forward as soon as the battle starts, let us protect you with fear.”

"Is this changing the way to praise yourself, or is it burying my incompetence as an emperor?" The emperor raised his pen and tapped Xin Yin, "It doesn't matter whether it's big or small."

Mu Xinyin entered the palace when he was young, and was later trained as a secret guard. He followed Mrs. Shujia all the time in the palace.Later, he left the secret guard and returned to Beijing, and participated in the Northwest War as a child of the royal family.The emperor's reuse and trust gradually made him occasionally sing against the emperor while protecting himself.

"Cousin, is it your body?" Xin Yin hesitated, "May I give you a pulse?"

"How is my health? It's not like you haven't checked the pulse case at the Tai Hospital. It's troublesome. There is no absolute safety in war. Let me tell you a few more words, but I'm afraid that something will happen. Let's panic here. Nan The matter of Gong happened suddenly, and later the news leaked out, ruining Xiaosan. This time, the Xiaoer who is by my side, please show me. This matter will be left to him to be tamed in the future. Let’s not talk about it, the northern Xinjiang How's the side?"

"In northern Xinjiang, the rumor was released to the outside world. After I went to subdue it, I couldn't shrink back when I picked up the son. On the Kunsang side, the dark chess you arranged helped the seventh princess to win Hedu's favor. There is Du San He and He are here, those people can't please in the northwest."

"If it weren't for the consumption of Du San's power and the care of Xiao Qi's life, those people in the northern border would really think that I would die after all these years."

"You are strategizing, everything is in your calculations, why get angry?"

"Just hate those moths of the empire."

"The trouble now is not in Beijiang, but the current situation in Fengyang. By the way, the people below reported that something strange happened to the Queen, please show me. There is a third-party force involved in the Ganye Temple. At present, it seems that There is no malice towards the queen and her party. Our people observed those people as dark guards, but they fought against our people without mercy."

"Good boy, it's not slow. If that's the case, let's withdraw our people and send them to continue to monitor the northern and northwest sides. When necessary, we can push Hedu to unify Kunsang and Nada grasslands." , so that he has no time to harass me, Daliang. On Xiao Qi’s side, sending her a letter, favoring her is all false, only heirs and power are real."

"I know, so let's arrange someone to deliver the letter there. The Seventh Princess is smart, and it is said that she married the nanny beside her to Moku who came to Daliang to greet her that day. Moku was rescued by Hedu. He is very trusted by Hedu. Presumably the day when Seventh Princess is trusted by Hedu is not far away."

"Moku? Xiaoqi's good life still has to grind. That man Hedu is interesting." The emperor praised, "I hope Xiaoqi can break the situation as soon as possible."

"It's not in a hurry over there, but Nanluo, you still plan to hold back?"

"King Fengyang wants to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and we need to see whether I agree or not." The emperor sneered, "The number of people who fled with him from the secret road is only 1, and these [-] people are all elite troops. The lives of the people in Luo Shi County must not be sloppy, otherwise, what is the point of besieging an empty city in Fengyang City. It is just to confuse the Fengyang King who fled from the desert, and does not want to provoke him to fight back wildly."

"That's why you secretly ordered the governors of ten counties of Nanluo to turn a blind eye to the fleeing people? And you also sent Du Jiu to take in the fleeing people along the way and recruit them into the army?" Xin Yin came back to his senses, "Your Majesty is merciful. It is really the people Blessings, Blessings of Great Liang."

"Come on, you don't need to give me ecstasy soup." The emperor interrupted Xin Yin's flattering behavior, "It's true that Du Jiu really knows his sister, and can tell the difference. But the distinction is too clear, but he didn't fall under my control. Originally, I thought that the Du family would take over this tricky job, and would use the power of the Du family in Nanluo when they accommodated and arranged those common people, but I never thought that this kid was so smart that he would come out with a part of the army that was conscripted during the war Come on. The family members of the enlisted soldiers sent people to the mountains far away from the war to encourage the people to open up wasteland and farm. There really is such a kid.”

"Du Jiu's biological mother came from a branch of the Chen family. She was the most outstanding girl in her generation. Du Jiu was forced by his mother to learn riding and archery since she was a child. As for Du Jiu's poems and books, Master Du personally taught them. He will guide the Du family's sons in their studies and give them the most suitable path."

"It's okay to fight a strategy, and you are a bit too upright. Go, release the news that Wei's family has gone to Shangluohai. Then pass the news that Mrs. Wei San disappeared to Du Jiu. If there is chaos, we can take advantage of the chaos. As for Yujing, you must order me to block the news, Du Laohu and the girl in the palace are very shrewd, don't let them ruin my big business!"

"Yes, I obey!"
