Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 262 Mountain Village Cottage
Jia Ying took a deep breath, dragged her exhausted and cold body, and turned Yuan Chun's body over on her back.

Touching the pulse in the neck, breathing has stopped suddenly.

Jia Ying put Yuan Chun flat on the ground, pressed his hands to the other's chest, and started CPR. Fortunately, after the incident in the water, he didn't have too many grudges in his heart when he did artificial respiration. Human life is the most important thing.

What he saved with all his might must not become a corpse.

No way!

After several rounds of resuscitation and compression.

"Cough cough!"

"puff!"

Yuan Chun spat out the river water he had swallowed, his pulse recovered, he opened his eyes, and saw Jia Ying's anxious and relieved face.

The sky is blue, you can breathe fresh air, the spring breeze blows, and you see a handsome face, and his wet hair on the sideburns that was blown up by the wind, slightly cold.

She was sure she was still alive.

Seeing Yuan Chun open his eyes, Jia Ying's heart gradually relaxed.

"It's fine."

After finishing speaking, he lay on the side, even the icy cold of the ground and his body could not interrupt Jia Ying's unrestrained indulgence for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

He raised his head, looked at the cliff above, and a tree trunk that broke off from it.

Jia Ying was very fortunate, fortunate that there was a big tree growing on the cliff; fortunate that the cliff was strong enough to prevent the carriage from rolling over; fortunately there was a deep pool under the cliff, and the warm spring sun melted most of the ice.

With his limbs weak, he was thinking about what to do next.

The crisis is not over yet.

Most of the day has passed, and the guards want to detour to the bottom of the valley. I don't know how long it will take. The cold spring, the biting wind, and the cold clothes on their bodies are their biggest threats.

If they couldn't meet up with their guards before dark, or couldn't find a place to stay, most of them would freeze to death.

Even if it is to keep warm in life, there must be Shandong. The weather in February is far from being kind to the two of them at this time.

"Brother Ying, I'm cold."

Yuan Chun's voice sounded from the side.

Jia Ying tried to sit up and check the nearby terrain, but after trying several times, his body was sore and the weight of the armor prevented him from succeeding.

Jia Ying, who was lying on the ground, began to take off the armor on his body, which has now become a fatal drag.

Bang Dang, the heavy armor was thrown aside by Jia Ying, staggered to his feet, half-kneeled on the ground, and helped Yuan Chun sit up again.

"Big sister, we can't stay here any longer. We have to find a place to shelter from the wind. If possible, we'd better dry the clothes on our bodies, otherwise the root cause of the disease will fall."

While talking, he wanted to help Yuan Chun up.

Looking at Jia Ying's tired face, Yuan Chun felt distressed, only the closest people in the world would risk their lives for your safety.

"Brother Ying doesn't need to help me, I will do it myself."

It's a pity that Yuan Chun was wearing a concubine's gown, which was already heavy, and the sapphire blue gold-encrusted phoenix crown on her head had already fallen into the water. Even so, the large robe soaked by the river water still made her movements clumsy and cold. The wind blew past, and the body shivered uncontrollably.

It's too slow to go on like this.

Jia Ying stretched out her arms, pulled Yuan Chun up, walked in front of her, stepped off her horse, and bent her waist and knees.

"I'll carry you."

"But your body..." She could see the exhaustion on Jia Ying's face.

"No problem."

Yuan Chun didn't say a word, and lay obediently on Jia Ying's back, two drops of crystals slipped from the corner of her eyes, this was the second time she was in such a panic trying to save her, there was always a feeling of sister and brother from the same clan, and it made her heart tremble unceasingly .

Even if they are direct relatives, they may not be able to do this in times of adversity.

Jia Ying weighed his body so that both Yuan Chun and him could feel more comfortable, and felt the fullness from the back. Even if they were related by a surname, what Jia Ying and Yuan Chun did already violated the court etiquette. No one sees it here either.

Or because of the pampering, Yuan Chun's figure appeared a little plump, but he didn't notice it as usual, but at this moment Jia Ying still felt heavy, which was due to excessive physical exertion.

After looking at the left, right, front and back directions, and confirming the position of Taniguchi, Jia Ying staggered forward while raising his vigilance.

The two assassins jumped from the car halfway up the hillside. One was hit by an arrow, so he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Hope not to run into.

After walking a certain distance away from the water pool, Jia Ying found that the hillside was no longer as straight and steep as the place where they fell, but it was still dangerous, and it was impossible for the guards to come down from here.

Going forward for a while, the two of them came across the body of the assassin who was hit by the arrow, and he was already out of breath. Ma Tulu's arrow missed the vital point, and it seemed that he fell to his death.

He jumped from the car late and didn't choose the right place. After being hit by the arrow, his actions would inevitably be frustrated, and it was inevitable that he would lose his life.

Going forward, there is another cliff, but it is cut off from the mountainside, and there should be a flat ground or a cliff road on it, because Jia Ying has not found anything rolling down the hillside until he reached the mouth of the valley. There was still life, but no dead bodies were seen.

Although the mountains near Nanyuan are not rugged, they are complex enough. Otherwise, they would not have chosen this place as a hunting place. The distance between the high and the low is unknown. Go, the guards won't come down for a while.

Right now we can only look at the luck of the two of them.

The wind in Taniguchi was stronger, Jia Ying couldn't help shivering, and Yuan Chun, who was on his back, couldn't help but bury his head on Jia Ying's back shoulder.

At a glance, there is still no place for them to stay.

The clothes on the two of them were already a little frozen, and they couldn't help covering the wind. When they touched the skin, it was icy cold.

"Brother Ying."

"Ok?"

"I'm pregnant." Yuan Chun's murmur rang in Jia Ying's ear, causing him to pause slightly.

"When did this happen?"

"Before Shangyuan Day, there were already signs of vomiting. When I was in Nanyuan, the imperial doctor diagnosed it as Ximai for the second time, so His Majesty ordered someone to send me back to the palace."

So that's the case, let's just say okay, why did Yuan Chun suddenly appear at the gate of Nanyuan Daying.

and many more.

Yuan Chun is pregnant?

How is this different from what he remembered!

Was it the child who couldn't keep it in the end, or was it the change brought about by the butterfly effect?

Before she had time to think about this, Jia Ying quickened her pace a bit, she had to find a place to stay quickly, otherwise, Jia Ying couldn't be sure if this encounter from the mother's womb would bring disaster to the fetus in her womb.

"I want to keep the child." Yuan Chun's voice continued.

Jia Ying listened quietly. At this time, finding some topics can also distract some attention and improve people's spirits.

"Shangyuan Day, do you want to know the reason?"

"If you want to say it." Jia Ying walked around a field ridge, with a look of surprise on his face.

Where there is a field, there is a family.

Suddenly feeling a burst of warmth coming from Dao's ear, Yuan Chun's voice sounded again.

Jia Ying was silent for a long time after listening.

Is this a warning?

"It's just my guess. I'm not sure if it's because of this incident, but Concubine E Gui's attitude towards me has obviously changed after that time, and after the night of the palace reunion."

"Why didn't you see Concubine E in Nanyuan?" Jia Ying asked.

As for Concubine E Gui, he had not yet met face to face, let alone knew him well.

"After New Year's Eve, I couldn't get sick. I only met once at the Baoling Palace Buddha Conference, and I didn't come this time."

"You're right not to mention this matter," Jia Ying said.

There are only two concubines in the palace, and Concubine Yi is old. Before Yuanchun, this was the most favored concubine.

Concubine Egui had a daughter born to Jiade, and she was also a step ahead of Yuanchun in terms of status. Although Yuanchun had the Jia family outside to support her, the Jia family's hand could not reach the palace after all.

What's more, this is a big matter, not to mention whether Jiade will be trusted, even if it is revealed, it may not be of any benefit to Yuanchun.

There are many bad things about the royal family, but no one will foolishly bring them to the surface.

"That man, did you see clearly?"

"I only know that piece of Kodama, and I only saw one back the second time."

"You have to be careful in the palace. If there is anything, send someone to tell me in time. Concubine E's mother clan is not a top dignitary. She dares to target you, so she must have something to rely on. I will let people find out about this matter." .”

"Also, you are pregnant with the dragon species now, so you must be cautious about what you eat and drink in the future. There is a maid in your palace named Qiuping. She knows some medical principles and medicines, so you can trust her."

Because of the sudden collapse of Yuan Chun in his memory, Jia Ying knew that there were some dark tricks in the palace, which were not obvious, but would gradually penetrate into the bone marrow. Jia Ying specially trained a palace lady for this purpose.

Originally, he didn't intend to hand over the shadows in his hands to others, even Yuan Chun, but now it's different.

It would be fine if Yuan Chun was pregnant with an imperial daughter, but if it was a dragon son, the Jia family had to make preparations earlier.

Whether to fight or not depends on whether Jiade is decisive, or whether others will regard the Jia family as an opponent.

"There are people in front."

Jia Ying walked with Yuan Chun on her back for an unknown amount of time. Since the hunting in the morning, the sun has already set to the west and smoke has risen from the homes of the common people.

Pushing open the chai gate, there is a courtyard wall built with fences, and there are three huts in the courtyard.

"Is anyone there?" Jia Ying asked loudly.

Squeak.

The door of the house was pushed open, and a woman dressed as a village girl came out. She was taken aback when she saw the appearance of Jia Ying and the two, especially looking at Yuan Chun's clothes, which were so luxurious that she had never seen in her life.

"On the way home, the car accidentally overturned and fell into the water. I wanted to find your family to rest for a while, and I asked the girl to help me."

"Ah," the village girl finally came to her senses, "Please come in, both of you."

"Father, mother, there are guests coming."

"Who?"

An old farmer who looked to be in his fifties came out, followed by a plainly dressed woman.

After the village girl introduced the encounter between the two to their parents, the simple family hurriedly opened the door and let the two into the house.

"Excuse me, miss, can I borrow a woman's dress, and, if possible, bring some firewood."

Even though he was struggling for a while, it was hard to hide his noble spirit. Jia Ying was never polite to this family. First, his physical strength was exhausted. Second, a noble person should have the posture of a noble person. The truth can also deter Xiaoxiao.

"Okay." The village girl turned and ran out.

Not long after, the old man came in carrying a pile of firewood, bowing all the time, not daring to look up, especially Yuan Chun, who was sitting on the kang and wrapped in a quilt.

Although they are peasants, they can also tell that the other party's clothes are not ordinary people's clothes. Even the seedlings' family with a hundred acres of land on the farm three miles away cannot afford such materials.

The old man put down the firewood and was about to go back the same way, but Jia Ying stopped him.

"This room in your family should only be given to us. There is nothing good for you right now. You should keep this hairpin. It should only be used as a token, and it will be returned a hundred times in the future."

"Go, I will call you if something happens, don't bother me."

In the other hut, it should be the boudoir of the daughter of the old couple. The old woman looked at a new dress brought out by her daughter and said with a distressed face: "Brother Sheng, this is the dress that the second son of the Miao family gave you for your wedding." .”

"Mother, our family only has this new dress, so we can't use the old clothes for the nobles to wear."

"Old woman, old woman."

The woman was just not happy in her heart, so she turned her head and complained to the old man: "It's broad daylight, and no one is dead, so what are you shouting for?"

"Hey, look at this, it was given by the nobleman in that house, saying it was some kind of token, and he wanted to exchange it for our house." The old man took out the hairpin.

"Based on his valuables, the house cannot be exchanged."

The woman stopped in the middle of her speech. Although she didn't even see silver, she still knew that golden things were very valuable, especially jewelry like hairpins, which were inlaid with gemstone pendants, or phoenix heads. hairpin.

"Ah, it's changed, you old man, you still come to ask me what to do, just this one, can let our whole family live in a tile-roofed house, and Brother Sheng has his dowry."

The old woman smiled.

This hairpin was taken by Jia Ying from Yuan Chun, and the objects in the palace are naturally high-quality goods.

I didn't want to but was snatched by my daughter: "Mother, I can't take it."

"You girl, you gave them all your new clothes, and it's all right to take a hairpin. They don't care about it."

"I just can't take it. They just came to rest their feet, and they didn't occupy our property. This hairpin is too expensive, we can't afford it."

"Oh, why do I have such a silly girl like you." Although the woman complained, she still didn't take the hairpin back.

Brother Sheng walked out with the clothes in his arms. This was her new dress, and she was reluctant to part with it, but it was the only new dress in the house, even though it was made of the most inferior fabric.

Jia Ying took the clothes from the woman, he could tell that the clothes seemed to be new, but he didn't say anything.

"What else do you need?" Seeing that the village girl hadn't left yet, Jia Ying asked.

Brother Sheng carefully handed out the hairpin.

"I told you that there is no reason to take it back. If you don't take it back, we won't be able to take the clothes."

"Go down, I will call you if something happens."

Jia Ying closed the door, Brother Sheng hesitated a few times, but finally left, she couldn't even summon up the courage to speak in front of the nobleman.

Even when facing Miao Yuanwai, she had never done this before.

"I'm afraid they are from the capital." Brother Sheng guessed in his heart. He worked in the Miao family in the past, and Miao Erye took her to the capital once.

"Big sister, I'll stand guard outside. After you change your clothes, call me in again. I'll help you build a fire."

"Brother Ying, go find some clothes to change."

Jia Ying shook her head and said nothing, the guards would arrive at some point, and he couldn't change them, otherwise some things couldn't be explained clearly.

Brother Sheng's figure was a little thinner, and her clothes looked a little tight on Yuan Chun, and she couldn't tell that she was wearing a loose dress on weekdays. When Jia Ying saw Yuan Chun again, she couldn't help but pause slightly.

A sentence suddenly popped up from the bottom of my heart: "How can Sanchun be as good as early spring."

Cao Gongcheng is not deceitful, and plain robes and common clothes can't hide a woman's nobility and appearance.

But he felt a little impolite, and hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again, bowed his head, moved the firewood to the middle of the room, and started a fire in the middle of the room.

This room is a house made of adobe mud and slag. There is also a kang in the house, but the heat dissipation effect of the adobe kang is not as fast as a fire.

Yuan Chun noticed the pause in Jia Ying's gaze. A woman always has an amazing intuition in this regard, her heart suddenly blush, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. At this moment, Jia Ying is her closest person. I don't think there is any inconvenience.

Of course, it's only here.

The woodpile soon burst into flames, accompanied by a puff of thick smoke, which made Yuan Chun cough slightly and felt very uncomfortable, but he endured it, not wanting to cause Jia Ying any more trouble because of his delicateness.

Jia Ying moved a small wooden bench by the fire.

"Big sister, sit here and warm up your body and hair to drive away the cold."

"Where are you going?" Seeing Jia Ying walking outside, Yuan Chun asked anxiously.

With Jia Ying around, she can feel at ease.

"I'll find some wooden supports to dry your clothes." Then he walked out.

Yuan Chun didn't stop her, but got off the kang, walked to the wooden bench and sat down, feeling the warmth brought by the fire again, which dispelled the chill on Yuan Chun's body a lot, but there was exhaustion between her brows. Being pregnant, my body is not very comfortable today, otherwise I wouldn't have fainted before.

After adapting to the warmth for a while, Yuan Chun took off the hairpins and ribbons on his head, his jet-black hair fell down, reflecting the firelight and steaming with mist.

When Jia Ying returned again, her eyes paused slightly again. The Yuanchun of this matter was very different from usual.

After making three simple brackets in the room, Jia Ying was about to hang up Yuan Chun's clothes, but Yuan Chun took the lead.

"I will do it myself."

Yuan Chun's voice was a little hasty, although they are sisters and brothers, clan brothers are not the same as younger brothers, and the clothes are all obscene things, if Jia Ying touches them, Yuan Chun will always feel weird and unnatural.

Jia Ying saw each other's embarrassment, no more than the younger sisters in the mansion, although they get along all day, but after all they are younger, Jia Ying is mature, so she doesn't shy away from these things.Furthermore, we are all in the same room on weekdays, but we have never been alone.

Some taboos should be avoided, not to mention the difference between monarchs and ministers.

"Big sister, I'll watch outside." Jia Ying said.

"If you go outside, tell me how can I stay in the house with peace of mind. You and I, brothers and sisters, don't need to be too jealous. Your clothes are still wet. What if you catch a cold? Sit down and bake, you should Just borrow a piece of clothing from the master."

Seeing Jia Ying standing still, Yuan Chun could only go forward and pull Jia Ying to sit on the bench, while he was busy hanging up his clothes.

She has been in the palace for six or seven years, and before that, she also served others, but these jobs are not unfamiliar.

When Yuan Chun hung up his clothes and returned to the fire, the room fell into silence. Both of them were exhausted and couldn't think of talking anymore.

"Old man, they really changed our house. There is a kang, why are they still lighting a fire in the house?" the woman said dissatisfied.

"What do you, a woman, know? She is a nobleman, and a nobleman's family doesn't use a kang." The old man squatted in the corner and said.

"This is nonsense. What's the use of not having a heated kang? The old Zhou's family in Qianzhuang sells firewood to the noble man's house in Beijing. Miao's family is all made of earthen kang."

"Miao Yuanwai can compare with our family's nobles? Old lady, let me tell you, our family's grass nest has fallen into a golden phoenix, and I have seen the world as an old man."

Brother Sheng ignored the daily bickering between his parents, and stood at the door, looking at the movement in the other room from time to time, fearing that the nobleman would call her.

From time to time, her family rushes up and down, but the world is like this, they are untouchables who dig food from the soil, and they are born to serve the lives of nobles.

Waiting until dark, Brother Sheng brought food, but neither of them was in the mood to eat, Jia Ying suddenly heard the neighing of war horses in the room.

"Big sister, let's go, I'll go out and have a look."

On the other side, the old man's family was also alarmed, and they were already looking out in the yard.

"Master, there are a lot of people coming outside, all of them are lighting torches, and they can't tell what they are doing." Seeing Jia Ying coming out, the old man hurriedly said.

"Don't worry, old man, just stay at ease."

Jia Ying took out the copper whistle on her chest and blew it vigorously.

Not long after, there was also a whistle in the distant night in response, and after a while, a war horse came outside the door.

"Second Master."

It was Jia Ying's personal guard who came.

"Damn the little one, he failed to protect the second master well."

"You don't need to say much, are you here?" Jia Ying asked.

"Prince Su personally brought reinforcements, right behind."

"Go and invite the prince here."

Jia Ying went back into the house and called Brother Sheng in.

"Big sister, Yang You is here, we are safe, let Miss Sheng'er help you change your clothes."

The emperor's concubine can't meet people in a village woman's attire. Firstly, it's the face of the Tian family. Second, she's a hut in a barren village. I'm afraid I can't explain clearly, and I will make some gossip.

After going out, Jia Ying called for the guards again.

"Turn back, take this family into the Zhuangzi, give them ten acres of fertile land, and give them a house."

He and Yuan Chun stayed here, changed clothes, and lived in the same room. Naturally, the family couldn't let it go. Who knows if anyone would use this to target Yuan Chun or himself.

"Master, here." The old man and his wife listened to it, and they also listened to Jia Ying's words. They didn't know whether it was good or bad, and whether they should accept or reject it.

It seems that they have no room for rejection.

"I heard you talking, Miss Sheng'er must have a marriage contract, right?"

The old man nodded, and without asking Jia Ying who it was, he explained in one breath, "It's the second son of Mr. Miao's family in the front village, and Brother Sheng works as a maid in his house."

"Wife, or concubine?" Jia Ying asked.

"Second Master Miao hasn't married yet, Brother Sheng used to be a child."

"I recognized Miss Sheng'er as my sister. Since she is my sister, there is no reason to be petty with others. Ma Tulu, go to Miao's house and spread the word later."

He likes the girl Sheng'er very much, she is very smart and has a simple heart.

"It's the second master." Ma Tulu replied.

Sow the law.

Jia Ying turned her head when she heard the sound.

"Damn, I heard that you fell off a cliff, but I really frightened the master, saying that you are a disaster, how could you be gone so easily, so scared that the master is ready to prepare for your funeral."

"Don't worry, I will probably be the only one who will dance on your grave in the future, and you will have no chance to attend my funeral."

"What does bungee mean?"

"Speaking of business, how is Nanyuan?"

"My master will go out in person, so naturally there will be no problem, what about your empress?"

"Your Majesty was frightened and she was in the house. Did you say when you will leave for Luan?"

"I've already sent someone back to report, and it won't be too late to start when the driver arrives." He only had war horses under his command, and it was obviously not suitable for Concubine Yuan to ride back.

Jia Ying nodded, and then took the time to find the guards to change clothes, ordered people to set a fire in the yard, and all the entourage stayed outside, and chatted with Yang You about the situation in Nanyuan.
