The lady is on top, the general is on the bottom

Bai Zhi frowned, showing a bit of chill on her face, and said softly: "Master, I'm afraid someone in our Jade Jewelry has something wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have poisoned you after I left. "

Holding Lin Ningmei's hand, Bai Zhi helped Lin Ningmei to walk in the master bedroom, and when she got to the window sill, Lin Ningmei looked at the bright and tender Chaoyan, and suddenly realized: "This Chaoyan flower is poisonous? "

Bai Zhi nodded and shook her head again: "This thing should be called Paradise Blue, and it's not the morning glory we usually see, but it looks similar. If you smell the fragrance of Paradise Blue and fall asleep, it will cause nightmares and make you weak. Finally died of exhaustion.

Master, you are pregnant again, if this heavenly blue is left in the bedroom for a few more days, it might be a bit inappropriate. "

Lin Ning pursed her lips.Question: "Then is there a cure for the poison in my body? Is the child okay?"

"Master, don't worry, Heavenly Blue only hurts your body, causing you to have hallucinations, but it won't have any effect on your little master. It's just that you've been a little weak recently, and you need to take more care of yourself."

talking.Bai Zhi moved the heavy flowerpot, and moved the heavenly blue out of the bedroom, Qingfang stood outside, seeing Bai Zhi's movements, Qingfang asked:

"Sister Baizhi, didn't the master really like this Chaoyan flower before? Why have you moved it out now?"

"The scent of this flower is strong. My master is pregnant, so I can't smell such a scent, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well at night, and it will be harmful to my body."

Bai Zhi didn't destroy the pot of Heavenly Blue, it was placed here anyway, so if someone has a guilty conscience, they can take advantage of her.

Lin Ningmei was sitting on the bed at the moment, opened the account, and looked at the dowry she had brought to the Hushi General's mansion, and she couldn't help thinking about it.

The gold and silver are a full 10 taels, which can also buy a lot of food, and if she remembers correctly, Xuanfu Town is sparsely populated. If a village is built there, it will cost manpower and material resources, but it will be very useful. Not small.

The land in the Northeast is fertile. Even if rice cannot be harvested, upland rice grows extremely well.Right now, what the frontier army lacks the most is food, and the military salary allocated by the court every year, after layers of deductions, there is nothing left.Once the frontier soldier passed away, the old and the young in the family couldn't even get ten taels of silver, so what use would it be?

I would rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world.

At this moment, Lin Ningmei also felt a little lucky. If she hadn't been lucky enough to raise her child in the Jinyang Hou's mansion, she would have suffered a lot.With the protection of Song Xiucai's old fox, it is impossible for her to be a slave, but if she was born in an ordinary family, how would she deal with herself?

Famines, earthquakes, floods, and wars all took place in the Great Yu Dynasty. After all, natural disasters cannot be resisted by manpower, but if she can do something for the frontier army, Lin Ningmei will feel better.

"Let's leave Beijing early tomorrow morning. Today you send people to buy grain and cotton clothes, and then go to farmers to buy some good grain seeds and bring them to Xuanfu Town."

Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Master, even if the war didn't reach Xuanfu Town, the place is really barren, and it's very cold in winter. I'm afraid no one will cultivate it if we bring grain there!"

"Don't worry." Lin Ningmei put down the account in her hand, paused, and then said:

"There are some disabled veterans who can't stay in the army, but they can't do much work. Their families have no property, and their lives are hard. If I buy a village near Xuanfu Town, it can be regarded as leaving for these disabled soldiers. A shelter."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi didn't know how to speak. She was just a dead man and didn't understand the so-called righteousness of the country. The previous master asked her to kill, so she killed, but since she followed Lin Ningmei, Bai Zhi felt that His previous behavior seemed to be wrong, so wrong that it was unsightly.

Bai Zhi took the key to the warehouse, and then transported most of the gold and silver in the warehouse to buy grain and cotton clothes.Because Baizhi was not good at bargaining with others, she went to the west of the city to bring Fushun. After working for several hours, she managed to get together ten carts of food and ten carts of winter clothes.

Without the poisonous aroma of heavenly blue, when Lin Ningmei fell asleep today, she really did not have any more nightmares.

After resting peacefully for the night, she got up early, packed up, went to Yi Yuan Hall to inform Mrs. Nie and General Nie, and then was escorted by dozens of guards from the General's Mansion to the border town.

Along the way, these guards dressed up as businessmen and hid Xiuchun knives under the carriage.Smiling, it looks like a merchant on the surface.

Even so, the murderous aura all over the body cannot be stopped by ordinary people. The guards of the Hussar General's Mansion are all seasoned fighters. Even if they only bring dozens of people, they are still not to be underestimated. underestimated power.

It is not too far from Shuntian Mansion to Xuanfu Town.If you hurry up, it will take two days.But Lin Ningmei and his group pulled dozens of carts, so the speed naturally slowed down.

Fortunately, Xuanfu Town is not very chaotic here, and I only encountered bandits a few times along the way, and they were all killed by the guards without leaving any room for Lin Ningmei to use her skills.

After the carriage entered Xuanfu Town.Lin Ningmei put on her veiled hat, and took a rest in the station, sitting in front of the wooden table, Lin Ningmei listened carefully to the conversations of the people around her:

"Yucheng is in danger, but General Zhao didn't send reinforcements. Could it be that he intends to watch Yucheng's compatriots being killed by the Tartars?"

The person who spoke was a tall and strong man, he slapped the wooden table with a bang, his face flushed red, he looked like a bloody man.

"Well, it's not easy for General Zhao. After all, he's only a fourth-rank general. With imperial envoys over his head, he can't send troops even if he wants to."

"Can't we go to Yucheng to deliver some food and grass without sending troops? My brother said that Yucheng had run out of food a few days ago, and we were still fighting against the Tartars under such circumstances, but we were huddled in Xuanfu Town. What a shame! Mother is a coward!"

The man with the appearance of a scholar smiled wryly, picked up the big bowl, and said, "Come on! Come on! Come on! Let's drink, get drunk and relieve our worries, and then we don't have to think about these troublesome things!"

Apart from Bai Zhi, there was also a mighty man at the table with Lin Ningmei, who was the head of the guards of the General's Mansion, named Zhen Kuo.At this moment, Zhen Kuo's eyes were full of red threads, and the hand holding the wine bowl trembled slightly.Thinking about it, the mood will not be peaceful.

After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of food, Lin Ningmei led Zhen Kuo and Bai Zhi upstairs directly, and after closing the door, she opened her mouth and said:

"Guard Zhen, don't get angry. The plan for now is to find a way to persuade General Zhao to send troops to solve the crisis in Yucheng."

Zhen Kuo frowned. Originally, he was sent to escort the second young lady to Xuanfu Town. He was unwilling to do so. Hearing that his former brothers were suffering in Yucheng, Zhen Kuo became a little anxious and roared:

"The Second Young Madam said lightly, if General Zhao is willing to send troops, why would he wait until now?"

Lin Ningmei didn't care about Zhen Kuo's rudeness, and just said lightly: "Guard Zhen, go out now and find out where General Zhao's residence is. Who is in his family, and the identity of the so-called imperial envoy?" ."

Zhen Kuo stared at Lin Ningmei, Lin Ningmei was not afraid to meet his gaze, after a few breaths of effort, finally Zhen Kuo was defeated, pushed open the simple wooden door, rushed out of the station to inquire news.

Bai Zhi was a little dissatisfied with Zhen Kuo's rudeness, but since the master didn't speak up, she couldn't act rashly. After all, Zhen Kuo still seemed to be useful. It's a little difficult.

After another hour, Zhen Kuo stood in front of Lin Ningmei again, and said in a low voice:

"General Zhao is now living with his wife in Xuanfu Town. There are no concubines in the mansion. It is said that General Zhao is fearful of internal affairs. That's why."

After a pause, Zhen Kuo said again: "As for the imperial envoy, An Chengjun, the younger brother of the imperial concubine, is also living in the general's mansion, and there are many concubines around him."

"The younger brother of the imperial concubine?"

Lin Ning raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Concubine An's hands to reach so long, and even Xuanfu Town was planted by her, and she ignored the people of Yucheng, it's really a good job!

"Does General Zhao have any heirs?"

Zhen Kuo shook his head and said: "General Zhao and Mrs. Zhao have been married for more than ten years, and there has been no happy news, but these two don't care. ."

Thinking of the Pregnancy Pill that she had carefully kept in the baggage, Lin Ningmei never thought that it would be useful at this moment.There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. If Mrs. Zhao can conceive an heir, General Zhao must have no choice but to send troops because of this favor.

"Shiwei Zhen said that An Chengjun brought many concubines to live in the Zhao residence?"

Zhen Kuo nodded, and looked at Lin Ningmei vigilantly, always feeling that something dangerous was about to happen.

Lin Ning's eyebrows lit up, and the smile on her pretty face that had not been applied by Fendai became even more intense. She stood up directly, leaned towards Zhen Kuo, and said with a smile:

"If the little lady remembers correctly, Guard Zhen also had the rank of a fifth-rank general before, and he is also a well-known person in the capital."

"It's just a fifth-rank young general. It's not uncommon to find a dozen or so in the Nie family army."

It was probably because Lin Ningmei's eyes were too hot, which made Zhen Kuo's hair stand on end. It was obvious that there was only a helpless female family member in front of him. Why did it bring him an extremely dangerous feeling, as if facing a cat who chose to choose? It's like a beast that devours people.

"Guard Zhen, don't underestimate yourself, a fifth-rank official is not low."

If Zhen Kuo hadn't stayed in the Nie's army, the other generals would have been promoted faster with his ability, but this guy was born with a stubborn temper.

Zhen Kuo made a bitter face, and asked, "Second Young Madam, if you have something to say, Zhen is a rough person, and I really don't understand your intentions!"
