I don't know how Zhao Er Ye convinced the rich merchants from all over the country. A month later, the court raised military expenses as high as 3 million taels and 200000 stone grain and grass. Zhao Er ye and the Minister Wang of Hubu escorted the grain and grass to Qianzhou, where General Zhao was stationed, and took the emperor's edict.
The battles in the northwest and the South were in full swing, but none of this had anything to do with Shen Jingli. Although he occasionally thought of the people in these two areas and felt sympathy, that was all. Others said so little that even the country could not contain the killing. What can he do to help?
Leaving all his worries and sympathies behind, Shen Jingli is immersed in teaching children and doing business every day, occasionally dispersing his mind and looking forward to Mu Chen's letter.
A few months of time, as if very short, but also very long, he in every nightmares wake up the night secretly thinking, such a time of fear, when is the end?
He just wants to live a simple and happy life. Why is it so difficult?
But life is like this, in front of you to set up all kinds of obstacles and suffering, you complain about it, hate it, and finally have to brave the head to go up, towards the highest point of life.
At the end of May, Mu Jing's sister-in-law's aunt was dissatisfied with Qin's marriage to her daughter, and had a big fight with Qin. Yang Ningyi, who had been pregnant for more than seven months, was so angry that she almost gave birth prematurely.
After getting the news, Shen Jingli went to see him with a tonic.
”How did it happen?” The windows of the room were closed, and there was a smell of medicine in it. As soon as Shen Jingli entered the door, he couldn't help tightening his eyebrows. How could ancient people like to let patients stay in such airtight places? Even if they were cured, they would be suffocated by another disease.
”Aunt Fang was dissatisfied with Yiyu's marriage and went to her mother's yard to make trouble. I happened to go to check with my mother with the bills in charge of the affairs. I happened to meet an angry aunt Fang. She even scolded me. Later, somehow, she bumped into her and made it look like this.” Yang Ningyi showed a wry smile. He reached out and stroked his stomach.
Shen Jingli pulled a stool and sat down beside Yang Ningyi. He felt the back of his hand without trace. It was as cold as if it had just been taken out of the lake in February. He frowned and turned to Jinyu and said, ”open a gap in the window of the room, ventilate and let the air flow through. Then bring a soup lady to warm the hands of his wife.”
Jin Yuyuan is a servant of Ximu house. He is familiar with the layout of Ximu house and knows the servants here. He acts like he does in his own house. After a while, he opens the window, brings back Mrs. Tang and a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
Shen Jingli handed Mrs. Tang to Yang Ningyi, ”how can you be so cold on such a hot day? What's wrong with your health? Do you want me to pass the sign to the palace for the imperial doctor to have a look
One of the advantages of being a prefect is that you can make reasonable use of the resources in the palace. Those who can serve the emperor's family in the palace are all talents, much better than ordinary doctors in Beijing.
”No, it'll be all right in a few days.” Yang Ningyi shook his head. Although he refused Shen Jingli's proposal, he was very warm in his heart. It was actually very good to care about his sister-in-law at such a moment.
”If you are uncomfortable, don't force yourself. Your body is your own. You don't love it. Who else will love you?” Shen Jingli reached out and touched Yang Ningyi's cheek. The cheek was also a little cold, but compared with the frozen fingers, it was still a little warm.
”Good.” The nagging sister-in-law is like her mother. Yang Ningyi laughs and her cheeks turn red like a fever. He is a little tired. Seeing Shen Jingli close to him, he slowly leans towards him, ”sister-in-law, he has gone to the battle with moon lake. I am very worried.”
”Moon Lake?” Shen Jingli was puzzled.
”Moon Lake is mu Jing's nickname. It is said that it was born when you visited the lake at night, so it was named Moon Lake.” Thinking of the name, Yang Ningyi laughed.
”When did he go to the battlefield?” Why didn't he hear that.
”He went with the fourteen elder brothers. He said that it was time for him to go out for training. When he told his grandfather to go to the battlefield, he left with King Jing and brother 14.” Yang Ningyi clenched Shen Jingli's hand and complained about the man. Why didn't he think about it? Their child was about to be born. What should he do when he went to the battlefield?
It's no wonder that he didn't know when he went with 14. At that time, he only cared about Mu Chen himself, and didn't care about other people at all.
”Don't worry. Fourteen said that the war situation is under control. He has slowly forced the enemy back and recaptured several cities. With 14 in, Mujing will be OK.” Shen Jingli comforted.
”Really.” He was suddenly at ease.
Is that why he made himself so haggard? Shen Jingli looked at his emaciated upper body and felt that he didn't take his body seriously.
”In a word, you have a good rest. If you give birth to the child smoothly, it will be smooth.” Shen Jingli patted his back and looked at the half open window. ”If you feel better, you should go out for a walk. Don't stay in a closed space. The air is not in circulation, and it's not good for your body.”
