Fang Zhenshan clenched his fist nervously and asked, "Is that thief Chen Qiankun going to rebel?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Not only him, but also his companions, a prince with the surname Qi in the southeast. They have hooked up and are gathering forces in secret. Once the time is right, they will definitely rise up to seize power!"
"The prince of my family in the southeast is the King of Xiangnan who guards Xiangcheng, isn't he?" Fang Zhenshan became even more panicked, "The south is rich, and once it starts, it will be a tough battle, and it will be the common people who will suffer."
He has witnessed the cruelty of war with his own eyes, so he especially does not want another war to happen, especially when the people of Daqi kill each other.
"Hey, we just beat the barbarians from the south back to their hometown, and then King Xiangnan came out. When will this kind of life end?" He sighed helplessly.
Meng Yuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted: "According to your statement, Chen Qiankun should be hiding in Xiangcheng to prepare for rebellion. Why did he come here with such a high profile to provoke us?"
"Oh, I forgot about this." Shen Qingqing sat back down and made a hexagram again. This time the result came out quickly, "That kid was right. He was indeed here for me. Hexagram
The elephant shows that I am his roadblock."
"So, he came to Ningyang County to get rid of you?" Meng Yuan's heart suddenly lifted.
Shen Qingqing patted the back of his hand and comforted him: "Relax, since I can be his obstacle and cause him to spend so much time on this trip, I will definitely not fall down so easily."
"Besides, isn't it you?"
Thinking of what the old lady told him in the dream, Meng Yuan's mood eased a bit, "If you have nothing to do from now on, just stay at home and don't go out. If you have to go out, just call me."
Shen Qingqing wanted to say "No need", but seeing how nervous he was, she changed her tone and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Fang Zhenshan took a deep breath and stood up. He looked at Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan solemnly and said, "I will go back to pack my things later. I will leave for Beijing tomorrow morning to report the matter to the emperor. This trip may take a month or two. I am not here.
Please be careful for a while and help me take good care of your godmother."
"Godfather, just go on your way without worry, I will take care of everything at home." Meng Yuan patted his shoulder.
Shen Qingqing continued: "But you, don't be too anxious. They are only in the planning stage now and have not taken action yet. We still have time to make amends."
Fang Zhenshan forced a smile, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Have you forgotten that I used to lead troops to fight? It's just a rush, it's not a big deal at all, don't worry."
"It's getting late. You guys should clear the food on the table and go back to your room to sleep. You all want to have some fun, it's not a big deal."
Fang Zhenshan laughed to himself a few times, turned around and left the main room. He looked at his slightly stooped back and felt unspeakably bitter in his heart.
Old, they are all old.
She thought they could spend the rest of their lives peacefully and happily in this small mountain village, but she didn't expect that in the end they would have to be related to the land that she missed and hated.
She let out a long sigh, said "Go to sleep" to everyone in the house, and walked out of the door quickly. The two old people supported each other and walked farther and farther into the night.
No one had slept well that night and got up early before dawn.
Fang Zhenshan was afraid that the children would be sad, so he originally wanted to leave secretly after breakfast. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door early in the morning, he saw Meng Yuan and Shen Qingqing leading the children to guard outside.
Meng Qixue raised her head and said crisply: "Grandpa, we are here to see you off!"
Shen Qingqing touched her head and added with a smile: "It's not just a farewell, there are other things to explain. Let's go in and have breakfast together."
Breakfast was the simplest vegetarian buns, pickles and rice porridge. The family sat together and surrounded the small table tightly.
Mr. He held the bowl and spoke to Fang Zhenshan: "Did you see that the children at home are all thinking about you? Eat your own snacks, eat and sleep on time, and don't let everyone worry!"
"You've been saying this all night, and I can hear it..."
Mr. He swung his eyes at me, and he quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, okay, I'll be obedient. I'll eat and sleep on time."
Meng Yuan took out a topographic map from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Fang Zhenshan, "Godfather, Qingqing and I studied the route back to Beijing last night and chose a smoother road. You follow our markings and walk for half a month.
We will definitely arrive in the capital smoothly later.”
Shen Qingqing also took out a few small gadgets from her sleeve pocket, "There are also some amulets and insect repellent sachets here. You should also take them with you. Please take care of yourself on the way. We are waiting for you to come back safely."
Looking at the miscellaneous things on the table, Fang Zhenshan's nose felt sour and his heart felt warm. He lowered his head and took a sip of warm rice porridge, and said softly: "Don't worry, children, just for this hot porridge, I have to be completely shaved."
Come back wholeheartedly."
After breakfast, the sun had already risen, and the bright morning sun illuminated the eastern sky with white flowers.
Fang Zhenshan sat on the horse and waved goodbye to everyone with a smile, "Let's all go back. We'll see you in two months. I'll bring you gifts then!"
The family stood at the intersection for a long time, until Fang Zhenshan's back completely disappeared into the sunlight, and then reluctantly returned home.
Fang Zhenshan was away, and Shen Qingqing was afraid that something might happen to Mr. He if he lived alone, so he persuaded her to move in together. Mr. He was originally reluctant to disturb them, but couldn't bear the coaxing from several children in turn, so he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
So the family started to pack up and move. It was already noon when everything was packed. Finally, they took a breather and someone came to the house again.
The visitors were Chun Yu's two sisters-in-law. When they entered the door, they first praised Shen Qingqing. They first praised her for being a hero of Yanghua Village for providing children with the opportunity to study; they also praised her for being smart and capable, even opening a mutton restaurant.
Affordable.
Shen Qingqing could see that they were not well-intentioned and didn't answer the whole conversation, so he just let them brag wildly and drink tea from time to time, making the two of them secretly stamp their feet in anxiety.
Later, Sister-in-law Chunyu couldn't hold it in any longer and shamelessly explained her purpose: "Qingqing, sister-in-law wants to ask you for a favor."
"Don't you see that all the children in my family are studying in school? Mr. Su is a good man and he doesn't have much money to pay, but buying pens and paper also costs a lot of money, which my family can't afford."
"Isn't Chunyu working in your shop? Why don't you give her wages to us? We are all part of the same family anyway, so it will be the same to everyone."
Shen Qingqing put the teacup on the table and smiled, "I have long heard that Chunyu's two sisters-in-law are not good people, but now I have seen it. If you are short of money, just make it yourself. What does it mean to always worry about others?"
"
Sister-in-law Chunyu immediately became anxious when she heard this. She blushed and retorted rudely: "Why aren't we good people anymore? Why don't we just ask? If you are willing, you are willing. If you are not willing..."
"If you don't want you to go to the mutton restaurant to make trouble, right?" This chapter has been completed!
