“There seems to be no one in that house at the entrance of the village!”
Geng Xingshuang thought that when she came, she looked out of the car window and saw that there was indeed a house at the entrance of the village. From the outside, the yard was quite big, but a piece of the yard wall had collapsed, and there were overgrown grass outside the yard. Apparently no one had been there for a while. Lived.
"Speaking of which, it's appropriate for the fourth girl to visit that house. I think she was born in that courtyard back then!"
After confirming that this was the village where they stayed for the night, and seeing her daughter and niece looking at her curiously with wide eyes, Jiang began to recall what happened that night when they stayed in this village.
"Speaking of which, at that time, the war was in turmoil. My uncle led the troops to quell the chaos in Ningdu City, and asked your father to take a large family of children and children to run out of the city. He thought that he would escape that period first. As long as the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation would be stable. Just come down. We were planning to leave the city from the south gate and go all the way to Jicheng, south of Ningdu. At that time, the uncle's house had a separate courtyard in Jicheng..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang paused slightly, with a look of regret on her face, "It seems that the other courtyard has been sold now..."
"Mom, you didn't go to Jicheng later?" Geng Xingchen asked. She didn't care whether the other courtyard in Jicheng was still there, and was anxious to know what happened next.
"At that time, the South City Gate was blocked by Ning Nanwei soldiers sent by Prince Ke, because Uncle Ke was supporting..."
"Third brother and sister, be careful what you say!"
As Mrs. Jiang spoke, she almost said that she was bald. Geng Wen felt a chill in his heart and immediately reminded him.
Mrs. Jiang looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that except for the people from the uncle's house, there was no one else. Even this farmer was going to buy vegetables and was busy working in the house.
When Geng Xingshuang heard the title of King Ke, she knew roughly what the third aunt was talking about. It should be the Zhenchang Incident fourteen years ago. At that time, the late Emperor Changning was seriously ill, and the second prince, King Ke, launched an army to attack the palace and forced The late emperor wrote an imperial edict and appointed him as the crown prince. The third prince, King Qi, who also had many supporters, was not to be outdone and attacked King Ke for treason. The two kings fought fiercely in Ningdu City. We support them in the city and adapt to changes, but most people will choose to send their families out of the city.
In fact, it is not a choice, but the situation at the time. Whether it is King Qi or King Ke, once they learn that a powerful minister is supporting their opponent, they will immediately send people to besiege him, or directly strangle him as a deterrent, or arrest him Using hostage as a form of coercion, in short, will not end well.
Although Uncle Anping did not express his position clearly at that time, he had secretly reached a consensus with King Ke, and everyone who should know naturally knew it. At that time, King Ke had the slight upper hand, and the women and children of Uncle Anping had to flee to Take a break from the limelight outside the city.
generator The second heavy snowfall in Ningdu City was due to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, who was also Prince Xuan at that time, leading troops back to Ningdu from the Northern Territory, and the chaos in Ningdu and even Daning was quelled.
Later, King Xuan ascended the throne, and the reign name was changed to the first year of Shengning the following year. Now it is the fourteenth year of Shengning.
"Mom, was the fourth sister born on the way to escape? Was she born in that family at the entrance of the village?"
Geng Xingchen pulled Jiang's sleeve, shook it, and asked her to continue talking about the past.
Ms. Jiang was also happy to say, "No, at that time your second aunt suddenly started to attack on the road. We had no choice but to find a nearby village to settle down first. It was the closest to this village at the time. We originally thought that such a small village would be the best place to find a place." We are still worried if we don't get it.
As it turned out, the second sister-in-law and Sister Bing were really lucky. As soon as they entered the village and saw the first family, they heard the cry of a baby inside. Unexpectedly, the daughter-in-law of that family was also giving birth. When we arrived, they had just given birth. After the baby was born, Grandma Wen was free to deliver the baby to the second sister-in-law. It wasn't until midnight that your fourth sister was born. Originally, we were planning to leave at dawn. After all, the second sister-in-law had just given birth and was still weak. Besides, it was really hard to travel in the middle of the night. It was inconvenient, but before dawn, the guard said that a group of soldiers was coming. We didn't know if they were the people sent by Prince Ke to pursue us, so we didn't dare to stay at all, so we had to leave here overnight. "
After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she glared at Geng Yan, "It was already dark when we came, but it was still dark when we left. How could I recognize that this is the place where we stayed one night?"
Geng Xingshuang thought thoughtfully, Geng Xingbing was not born in the uncle's house, nor in the village of the uncle's house. He was actually born in the farmer's family in front of him. It happened that the daughter-in-law of that farmer's family also gave birth to a baby on the same day. child.
"Mom, third aunt, do you know whether the farmer's daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy or a girl that day?"
Ms. Jiang shook her head and Geng Xingshuang looked at her mother. Ms. Ruan was not sure, but Geng Yan said for sure: "It's a girl. I also heard the old woman throwing and beating herself while preparing meals in the kitchen. He scolded his daughter-in-law, saying that she had been married for several years, took a lot of medicine, spent a lot of money, and fed her delicious food, and finally made her happy, but then gave birth to a loser, etc. In short, he scolded her very much. It’s ugly.”
Neither Ruan nor Jiang knew about this. Although they were fleeing at that time, the uncle's mansion had not yet been defeated. They brought out many servants and guards, so mistresses like Ruan and Jiang , they just rested in the house, taking care of Yao before and after the birth, and left other matters to the servants, so they didn’t know the specific situation of that farmhouse at all.
Geng Xingshuang was about to ask what was going on when they left the farmhouse when she saw Geng Xingbing had returned. She glanced at Geng Xingshuang's group of people under the tree, walked over to them without getting on the carriage again.
"Uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, sixth sister, seventh sister! Because of my father's affairs, all the elders and two sisters have troubled themselves. If my father can be restored to health, the eldest brother, third sister, fifth sister and Fifth brother, the five of us brothers and sisters will definitely remember this in our hearts and never forget our kindness!"
"Sister Bing is too foreign. Your father is also our brother and uncle to Sister Shuang and the others. It is what we should do to do this for him."
Geng Wen smiled gently, looked in the direction she came from, and asked: "Sister Bing just went..."
"Oh, I sat in the carriage for a long time and my legs and feet were a little numb, so I got out of the carriage and took a walk."
Geng Xingshuang paid attention to the expression on Geng Xingbing's face when she was talking, but she didn't see anything.
Maybe I am too sensitive, there are so many secrets for me to dig out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the food is ready!"
The peasant woman's voice came from behind, and Geng Xingbing immediately smiled and said, "I'll call grandma for dinner!"
