After the old doctor wrote the prescription and was sent out of the inn, Zhou asked someone to bring the food in. Hu Maoxi couldn't bear to disturb Chu Nanzhi's rest anymore, so he took his wife back to the county government office and went to discuss defense strategies with Li Ce.
.
Anhe County is not as prosperous as Luyan Port. It is a poor and remote place. Since the turmoil and famine this year, the people have been in dire straits.
Hu Maoxi's temperament changed drastically now. When he took office, he used the furniture and salary he saved to help the poor people. I heard from Tang Weiming that the chicken soup cooked in Guanyi today was stewed by Zhou's own newly raised hens.
Although it was a simple meal, Chu Nanzhi ate it extremely sweetly.
Seeing the bored look of the little ones with no appetite, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but think of the scene last year when the four little ones shared the chicken legs.
She put the cooked chicken legs in the soup basin into a bowl, picked off the meat, and put it into the bowls of the quadruplets and Shen Yunqing respectively. She said with a smile: "Eat quickly. When you are full, my mother will take you to Lang tomorrow."
Zhoucheng.”
They are used to eating meals cooked by their mother and grandma. In the past few months, they have enjoyed all the glory and wealth they have never enjoyed before in the palace. How can the little ones get used to living in such poverty.
The second treasure and the third treasure have developed a pampering temperament, and even the fragrant chicken drumsticks are no longer fragrant.
"Auntie, when we went to Grandpa Hu's county office before, he would prepare a lot of delicious food for us. Why did he only prepare chicken drumsticks for us today?"
Er Baolin Ruixi glanced at the half piece of chicken leg meat in the bowl with some disappointment.
They had been eating coarse grains all day long on the boat, and now they had to eat coarse grains when they arrived in Grandpa Hu's county. The little ones were a little disappointed.
"Because your Grandpa Hu now wants to be a good official like your father."
Seeing the unhappy little ones, Chu Nanzhi scolded somewhat unhappily: "Since you took office, your father has been caring about the people of the world and always thinking about the people, even at the expense of offending the gentry. How can you challenge the gentry as his heir?"
Those who are picky, don't learn the bad temper of those clan members after spending a few days in the capital."
"Aniang, I will definitely become a good official like my father and Grandpa Hu in the future."
Seeing that her mother was angry, Dabaolin Ruiwen quickly stood up, filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Chu Nanzhi. She said seriously: "Grandpa, the doctor just now, said that my mother should take good care of her body. Please drink more chicken soup."
Nourishing and nourishing.”
Seeing this, Si Baolin Ruijia quickly put half of the chicken leg meat in the bowl into Chu Nan Zhi's bowl and said in a soft voice: "Auntie, eat it."
As he spoke, his young voice was already trembling: "Aniang, I'm not picky. I just don't want Aniang to abandon us again."
Hearing this, the little guys suddenly fell silent.
Dabao, Sanbao and Shen Yunqing were just taken into the carriage in front by Liu Yun. They didn't know the specific situation, but Erbao and Sibao witnessed their mother's decisiveness at that moment. At this time, they were extremely frightened.
"Of course your mother will never abandon you again."
Liu Yun advised: "What she did just now was all because she wanted you to live well."
After saying this, Liu Yun silently brushed away the tears that she couldn't hold back. In the past, her daughter would never have protected her child so desperately. Now, she is both happy and sad at the same time.
Now, the whole family is living a life of fine clothing and fine food, but fighting and killing all day long makes her miss the peaceful and peaceful life of ordinary people before.
At this time, the quadruplets came to Chu Nanzhi one after another, pressed themselves into her arms, and begged sincerely: "Aniang, we are not afraid of death. Even if we die, we just want to be with Aniang."
"No nonsense."
Touching the soft bodies of the little ones, Chu Nanzhi felt moved and sad.
After all, I have seen the world. How can it not be sad that such immature children have begun to face life and death?
Moreover, she knew the consequences of letting the little treasures fall into the hands of King Qinghe. Just now she saw that the Yizhou Army was about to catch up. She was very upset, let alone their biological father Lin Jinxiao.
"I will never abandon you again."
Chu Nanzhi smiled, gazed at the little ones tenderly, and softly comforted her: "My mother promised your great-grandmother that she would take you back to Luyan Port."
After hearing this, the babies nodded obediently.
"Eat quickly, don't let your Grandpa Hu's hard work go down."
With that said, Chu Nanzhi told Shen Yunqing: "Yunqing, after dinner, you take the four of them to wash themselves up and sleep well."
After saying this, he told Tang Weiming: "Manager Tang, you must be more careful when you let Abi and Achun stay with the two elders tonight to serve the soup."
Chang Lao had an old illness before coming out of Luyan Port, and he was running around with her. Thinking of the two mistresses, who were both public and private, what she was most worried about now was the health of the two old people.
"Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely take good care of everyone."
Tang Weiming glanced at her worriedly: "Princess, the doctor has told you to rest. Since Magistrate Hu has sent people to the state capital for help, and General Li is in the city, he will definitely be able to hold on to the city. Princess, you should rest well." That’s it.”
"I know my own body well."
Chu Nanzhi smiled gracefully, thinking of Xie Jingchen who was knocked unconscious, and suddenly asked cryptically: "What about the two of you?"
"Thank you, they have arranged for the slave to be placed in the most secret elegant room of the post house."
Tang Weiming did not dare to mention Xie Jingchen's name, so he replied in a low voice with understanding.
"Mom, you and the babies should go to bed early after dinner."
After Chu Nanzhi gave Liu Yun instructions, he immediately stood up, asked Sang Qi to get two simple clothes, and followed Tang Weiming to visit Xie Jingchen in the private room at the deepest part of the post house.
Tang Weiming held a lantern, walked to the door of the secluded elegant room, knocked gently on the door, and asked in a low voice: "Madam of the Li family, can Xie Langjun wake up?"
After a while, the door slowly opened, and it was Xie Jingchen who came out to greet him.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi come back safe and sound, Xie Jingchen called out angrily and happily: "Little Zhizhi."
But as soon as he said this, his face suddenly changed, he turned around and walked straight back into the house, where he sat down at the coffee table glumly.
Seeing his appearance, Li Shiyao had no choice but to clear up a stool and lead Chu Nanzhi to sit down. While pouring tea, she explained: "His Royal Highness has just woken up. Sister Chu, please don't be surprised."
Hearing that she suddenly changed her name and called him sister, Chu Nanzhi's eyes paused for a moment, calmly picked up the warm tea that had just been poured, and said with a slow smile: "It doesn't matter, it's my fault to say that I was too harsh just now. A little more."
"You still know."
Xie Jingchen turned around and looked at her angrily. Looking at her pretty face, the sullenness in his heart immediately disappeared. He looked at her whole body and asked earnestly: "Is there any injury? "
"I'm fine."
Chu Nanzhi sighed sadly: "It's a pity Captain Chen."
"He was loyal to the Lord and deserved his death."
Xie Jingchen responded with a stiff smile.
Why don't I feel sorry for the three thousand dead soldiers?
