The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort - 258. Give birth

This bitter summer in the Dajin Dynasty was extremely long. Because of the spread of the war, it seemed to have turned into a bunch of hot deserts, lifeless. Xuanli’s people finally withdrew from the capital, reaching the edge of the city gate, they were outnumbered. There are no shortage of generals under Xuanpei’s men. There are always four men in the general mansion, Zhao Guang, father and son, Jiang Xinzhi, the young and brave war god, Wen has Lin Wei and Liu Min and his like, and Xiao Shao has hundreds of thousands of brocade clothes and guards. Xuanli’s people are retreating steadily. Among them, Jiang Xinzhi and Xiao Shao’s Jinyiwei are particularly fierce, almost as brutal and unreasonable as the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves. Sometimes the troops of Xuanli who are on the order are clearly equal in number, and sometimes Even far from it, in the end, it was almost a unilateral massacre.

Xiao Shao had always brought the habit of killers to the battlefield. In the eyes of Jin Yiwei, the enemy could not be called an enemy, but could only become a prey, so slaughter became an instinct. Everyone knows why Jiang Xinzhi and Xiao Shao are so crazy, because Xuanli kidnapped Jiang Ruan and killed her.

Xuanli was willing to make this decision, probably because Jiang Ruan was in his hands so that he was so unconcerned. As long as Jin Yiwei doesn’t show up, Xuan Pei’s people will naturally have to tie him. Who knew Yuan Chuan’s last strategy was to include him, so he and Xiao Shao were completely dead enemies, and those who were against Jin Yiwei walking in the world would have been a little bit more difficult.

In addition, Xuan Pei was in the dynasty and handled everything in an orderly manner. Even those courtiers who were still a little uncertain and had a fluke mentality in the battle to seize the protagonist were all arranged by Xuan Pei to deal with them one by one. Xuan Pei strongly supported the courtiers, many of whom followed his henchmen at the beginning. He distinguished rewards and punishments, and the act of settling accounts after the fall also made the courtiers realize that this young emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He saw it in his eyes a long time ago, but before, he just couldn’t move it.

It’s just that no matter how fierce the fighting is, no matter how often the good news spreads. The parties involved, whether it was the emperor or the general mansion, Jiang Xinzhi or Xiao Shao, all looked on without a trace of joy. Especially Xiao Shao, doing things coldly every day, eating coldly, was even more indifferent than before, like everything in the world, nothing can be reflected in his eyes.

“No news yet?” Steward Lin, who should be a new minister of the court now, Lin Wei glanced at Xiao Shao who was standing in the pavilion in the courtyard and didn’t know what he was thinking, and asked the humane around him.

Qi Feng shook his head. These days, Xiao Shao has never given up looking for Jiang Ruan’s whereabouts. Jinyiwei in every place was notified, but such a large-scale search had no results. It might have meant something. Xiao Shao is a calm and rational person, it is impossible not to know this, but he insisted that Jiang Ruan was not dead. At the beginning, the Jinyiwei wanted to find some ashes in the temple that was destroyed by fire, and set up a cloak mound for Jiang Ruan. After Xiao Shao saw it, they were furious, and they cut the cloak to pieces, and then severely punished the self-made mounds. Since then, the advocating Jin Yiwei, no one dared to mention Jiang Ruan’s whereabouts in front of Xiao Shao.

Huiji will be hurt, and the love will die. If Xiao Shao insists on this wish, what can they do? It’s just that you want to keep the hopeless hope alone, it’s probably a bit sad that others see.

Lin Wei also sighed and said: “Let’s go.” He was about to leave, but saw Jin Er running out of nowhere, his expression was very excited, holding something, he even ignored the light work, and ran away. In a hurry, he shouted: “Master, master, there is news!”

Qi Feng and Lin Wei were stunned at the same time, and then quickly walked towards the two of them. Xiao Shao turned his head, Jin Er excitedly ignored the gift of the master and servant. As soon as Qi Feng and Lin Wei approached, they heard Jin Er’s Voice: “Young Master, someone found Mrs. Young’s jewelry in the pawnshop in the south of the city!”…

Jiang Ruan sewed the last stitch on the little gown, took the mouth to bite the end of the thread, and skillfully tied a knot. She was very skilled at doing this, and Gui sister-in-law could not help but praise when she saw it, and said she looked like a big business. The young lady is delicately skinned and tender, and she must have done no rough work on weekdays. Who knows that the clothes are sewn more exquisitely than the tailors in the village.

Jiang Ruan laughed. She had lived in Zhuangzi for a long time. At that time, there was endless embroidery work every day, so the needle and thread naturally developed. After returning to Shang Shufu, she rarely touches needles and threads, but now she is full of joy thinking about the child in her belly, and sewing is also fun. Starting from spring to summer, these few days have rushed to wear some small summer gowns, all of which are cotton cloth, and they are very comfortable to touch.

Wife Gui said: “But even though you are doing well, Lady Ruan still don’t do too much. You must know that your day of labor is approaching, so don’t make any mistakes because of this. These few days have been taking a good rest. The weather is also hot, so leave these things to me.” She looked at Jiang Ruan’s belly and touched it with love: “Looking at this big belly, he must be a big fat kid.”

Jiang Ruan also looked down at his lower abdomen, reached out and touched it, as if he could still feel the child kicking him. The life here is actually much easier than before in the outside world. Perhaps it is because this place is remote and isolated from the world. The people here did not plan to live a life. In any case, it is very suitable for her to raise a baby here. .

At this moment, only a sound of reproach came from outside, and there seemed to be a child sobbing lowly. Jiang Ruan and Wife Gui were both startled, they watched the big mountain pull the hill over. With teardrops hanging.

“What’s the matter?” Gui sister asked: “Dashan, are you bullying Xiaoshan again?”

“Mother, I didn’t bully Xiaoshan!” The big mountain was still angry and seemed very angry. He looked at Xiaoshan and said: “Tell your mother and Lady Ruan, what have you done!”

Wife Gui and Jiang Ruan looked at each other, and this matter was actually related to Jiang Ruan. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: “Don’t worry about Dashan. Xiaoshan is young and ignorant. You can scare him so easily. What happened to Xiaoshan?” She stayed here at Wife Gui’s house, Dashanliang. Her brother was her savior, and he treated her very sincerely. He should be grateful to others for reciprocating. It’s just that she can’t repay them now.

小山一听，“哇”的一声大哭起来，这更令蒋阮有些莫名，大山叹了口气，面色羞惭的站在蒋阮面前，对蒋阮施了一礼，道：“对不住了阮娘子，这小子偷了您的首饰，拿去变卖了。”

桂嫂“腾”的一下站起身来，看着小山的面色就变了，怒道：“小山！我平日里是怎么教你的？我们不偷不抢，不做偷鸡摸狗的事，你怎么这么没出息，你对得起你爹吗！”桂嫂说着说着就气得眼眶发红，几乎是要掉下泪来，也是被气的狠了，伸手就要打小山。

“桂嫂别生气。”蒋阮忙劝道，她怀着身子倒不好直接去护，就道：“小山定不是故意的。先听孩子怎么说吧。”

小山抽抽噎噎的道：“琼花他奶奶生病了，要名贵的药续命，王大夫也没有那些药，必须京城中才有。琼花家里穷，拿不出那些钱来，我、我看阮娘子的首饰看起来也许值钱，就偷了去当了。可是我是活当，以后等我有了钱，一定会替阮娘子赎回来的。”

蒋阮在这里住了许久吗，自然也听过琼花家里的事情，琼花家里就只有她和奶奶相依为命，琼花奶奶如今年事已高，本就是风烛残年，琼花大约是找小伙伴诉苦，小山与琼花一同长大，只是自己也拿不出那么多钱，就想着蒋阮过来的时候带着些首饰，后来因为怀了身子就取下来了。

桂嫂一下子就愣住了，大约也没想到小山是因为这么个原因来偷蒋阮首饰的。这行为的确说不过去，可却又是出于好心。她愤愤道：“那你也不应该去偷阮娘子的首饰！”

小山哭着道：“娘教我们滴水之恩涌泉相报，当初爹走后，咱们娘三过的艰难，琼花奶奶没少接济咱们，现在她有难处，咱们不能袖手旁观。可是我没有钱，那些首饰都是死物，我就是借阮娘子，以后一定会还的。”

蒋阮微微思忖了一下，道：“小山，这里距外头很远，和京城也有十几里地，你是怎么出去的？”

小山眼角还挂着泪：“我是自己走出去的。走了好几天才出去，前几日我说去山里和二狗子玩，就是去当东西了。”

桂嫂倒抽一口凉气，小山毕竟还是个孩子，就这么徒步走几日也是累的够呛了。哪个母亲不心疼儿子，尤其是桂嫂又是和两个儿子相依为命的，自然心中的那点怨气很快就散了。只看着小山骂道：“真是个傻蛋！为什么不告诉娘和你大哥？”

“I, I’m afraid that my mother and eldest brother won’t agree, but only the jewelry of Lady Ruan can save Granny Qionghua.”

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, “Sister Gui, who is not in the way, saves a life and builds a seventh-level Pagoda. Those jewelry are not worth a lot of money, and I can’t use it anymore when I am pregnant. They are all dead objects. It’s better to change the silver to treat people. My life is saved by Dashan and Xiaoshan. Gui sister-in-law, you have given me a place to stay. You have been taking care of me for so long, and I have nothing to return. Yes, I wanted to give those jewelry to you as a little compensation for the nagging these days. Koyama is still a child, the important thing is to be kind, not deliberately stealing it. I don’t think Sister Gui should blame him.”

Xiaoshan rubbed his eyes and looked at Jiang Ruan’s silence, but Gui sister-in-law was a little embarrassed, and said quickly: “How can that be? Ruan Lady, Dashan should save you, so what compensation do you say, wouldn’t it be outside? This We really can’t collect things. Let Xiaoshan tell me the amount of silver when we go back, and we can redeem it again.”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: “But they are all things outside of the body, not important, and don’t have to be redeemed. It’s the hill, but what danger did you encounter when going out from here? Didn’t you meet anyone?” She was worried about another thing, before I was afraid that the people in Yuanchuan were still wandering outside, so I didn’t dare to show up easily, and the province fell into the tiger’s mouth again. Will Xiaoshan go out with his jewelry to be noticed?

Xiaoshan shook his head and said, “No.”

Jiang Ruan thought for a while: “What happened to the capital recently?”

Xiaoshan thought for a while: “The capital is fighting, and there are people everywhere.” They are a place of refuge in the depths of the world, so they are not very clear about the seizure of the court, and naturally they don’t know the name of Xuanli.

Wife Gui became anxious when she heard it: “You ran out during the war. You don’t want to think of something. What should I do with your eldest brother? Didn’t you get hurt?” Just now, she was still looking like cannibalism. She was concerned about the safety of her children. The more she thought about it, the more anxious Gui sister-in-law, she grabbed Xiaoshan’s ear and walked into the house: “No, I have to look at it.” She told Dashan, “Dashan, look at Lady Ruan. Don’t let her carry heavy things.” After speaking, he took the hill away.

After Gui and Xiaoshan left, only Dashan and Jiang Ruan were left. Dashan looked at Jiang Ruan in a daze, and finally summoned the courage to say: “Sorry, Lady Ruan, I didn’t teach Xiaoshan well.”

Jiang Ruan came back to his senses and smiled: “What does it matter? Xiaoshan didn’t do it intentionally. It’s all about saving people. You don’t have to worry about Dashan.” She said and remembered what Xiaoshan said just now in the capital. Xiao Shan said that there was a war in the capital, but didn’t say what the situation was. I don’t know how Xiao Shao is now. What about Xuan Pei and Big Brother?

Dashan also guessed that Jiang Ruan was lost because of Xiaoshan’s words. But Dashan thought Jiang Ruan was thinking of his husband, the vicious husband who abused her and cheated her and wanted her life. In Dashan’s eyes, Jiang Ruan has a gentle and kind-hearted disposition, and he must be intolerable for his husband. Da Shan felt a bit unfair for Jiang Ruan. He thought that Jiang Ruan deserves a better person, so he said: “Lady Ruan… Actually, you don’t have to think about the past. You should look forward and don’t cherish your people. Just let him go.”

After he plucked up the courage to say these words, his face immediately flushed. Jiang Ruan looked at him in a little astonishment. She naturally could see the young man’s affection for her. These days he cared very much. Jiang Ruan was polite with him. Keep your distance, but this child is probably also a tendon, and living in such a simple environment, he has never changed his heart and soul.

Dashan looked at Jiang Ruan’s bright face, and he said, “Ms. Ruan can actually stay. I… Xiaoshan also likes you. I and I can help take care of the children in Ms. Ruan’s belly, and I can teach He shoots arrows…”

This kind of implicit confession is almost the ultimate Da Shan can say. This is the first time he has said such words to a woman. For him, it doesn’t matter if Jiang Ruan has married someone, and it doesn’t matter if he has his own child. He wants to take care of this woman sincerely.

Jiang Ruan was also astonished for a moment. If she were placed in the outside world, her status would be an out-and-out cousin. No matter how pitiful her life is, no man from a good family would want him. But this place is different, and Dashan is so young that he could have found a better girl, but he still confessed his heart to her.

Jiang Ruan looked at the young man in front of him, vigorously like a sun that has not been infested by the outside world. She smiled and said, “Thank you, but Dashan, I can take care of him myself.”

Her words were calm, without the slightest ups and downs. Obviously, her state of mind was not changed at all because of Da Shan’s words, and she was not tempted.

Dashan looked at her disappointedly, and asked unwillingly: “It’s because…. Can Lady Ruan still forget him?”

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly and was about to answer. Suddenly, she felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen. She couldn’t help but stretched out a hand to cover her abdomen, but the pain was getting bigger and bigger, almost getting stronger. Zi didn’t hold back a groan, and bent down while leaning on one of the pillars.

“Lady Ruan?” Dashan was taken aback for a moment. Seeing Jiang Ruan’s uncomfortable appearance, he also panicked. He hurriedly walked over, regardless of male and female defenses, and helped Jiang Ruan said: “Lady Ruan, what’s wrong with you? ”

“It hurts.” Jiang Ruan frowned, his face pale as paper for an instant, Dashan saw that the momentum was wrong, and quickly shouted: “Mother! Mother, Madame Ruan is not good!”

Wife Gui was teaching the hill in the house, and when she heard what Da Shan said, she ran out quickly. She was shocked when she saw Jiang Ruan’s appearance. She hurriedly said, “What’s the matter?” Then she came to help Jiang Ruan and take a look at Jiang Ruan. The look was also taken aback, and then she said: “No, I’m afraid I’m going to give birth.” She hurriedly said, “Dashan, you go to the village and call Mrs. Yu, and you said that Mrs. Ruan is going to give birth. I will take her back to the house first. ”

Dashan answered and went out. Gui sister-in-law carefully helped Jiang Ruan to the bed in the room. At this moment, Jiang Ruan was already sweating on his head in pain, but he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming. Wife Gui felt distressed when she looked at it, and said, “Ms. Ruan, don’t hold on. It’s just that the child has just started to move. I don’t know when the child will start. Now Mo Yao will run out of energy. I’ll let someone cook some. Come with brown sugar and eggs, Ms. Ruan will eat some strength, and she will give birth to the child smoothly and smoothly.”

It was the first time that Jiang Ruan gave birth to children in his previous life and this life. It was how calm and calm he was in his daily life, and there would be no fear in his heart. It’s just that she has always been sensible and calm, so she obediently nodded to sister Gui and said, “Okay.”

Wife Gui hurriedly went to ask the little daughter-in-law next door to help boil the eggs, and sat on the bed with Jiang Ruan herself. She shook Jiang Ruan’s hand and comforted Jiang Ruan not to be afraid. Jiang Ruan was in a trance with pain, and unconsciously called Xiao Shao’s name aloud: “A Shao…”

At this moment, Xiao Shaozheng, who was coming here quickly from outside the capital, pulled the horse under him quickly. For some reason, his expression was suddenly startled, and Jiang Xinzhi, who was next to him, saw him and asked, “How can I go back? thing?”

Xiao Shao pursed her lips, shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
