Chapter 108
But when he heard that his little life had not come, Cui Fu had no joy on her face and looked depressed.
Seeing that his sister looked wrong, Miantang asked, "What? Sister, do you think there is something wrong with her body?"
Cui Fu was so seasick that she was so dizzy that she was naturally uncomfortable. But what made her feel most uncomfortable was that she remembered her past when she was pregnant with Jin'er.
Her mother-in-law, Duke Qingguo's wife, An, is a harsh person. Even when she finally got pregnant with Jin'er, she did not treat herself at all. Looking back now, she feels very upset.
Now that she is pregnant again, the Duke Anguo Mansion has just moved to the capital. She is busy at home and outside the house. It is not certain whether her body can be eaten.
However, if these leaks of the family's fortunes, Cui Fu would certainly not tell Liu Miantang. Her younger brother and sister are lucky. She just ate a bowl of broken bird's nest. It's like her mother-in-law An, I'm afraid that Liu Miantang's soft willow-like body would be troubled.
So when Miantang asked, Cui Fu said impatiently: "How can you feel comfortable when you vomit like this? I don't know if your medical skills are accurate. You can wait ashore and then look for a doctor to treat..."
Cui Fuyuan thought of enduring it for a few more days, and she could only wait until the boat arrived in the capital.
Unexpectedly, after stopping the boat and docking for a night, the King of Huaiyang found several carriages and prepared to change to land.
Cui Fu knew that her younger brother was in a hurry to go to Beijing to report his work, but if he took the land route, it would be a few more days to delay.
But Cui Xingzhou said, "Miantang said you are pregnant. If you vomit like this, your body may be inappropriate. But if you let it go alone and you are afraid that you will be surprised. It would be better to go to land by land, and it is not bad for the past few days."
Cui Fu was a little anxious when she heard this: "Long live to call you into the capital in person, how could you delay too much because of me?"
Cui Xingzhou knew his sister's stubbornness, but he had made up his mind and stopped his sister's words: "No need to say more, it's not bad for these few days. How can life be calculated so accurately on the road?"
After saying that, he ordered the guards to transport some necessary items from the boat to the carriage, and then let the boat carry other luggage, and then continue to walk along the waterway.
After being able to get on the carriage, Cui Fu was still complaining about Miantang's words, which made her younger brother delay her trip.
Miantang put a bowl of black chicken wolfberry soup cooked by Li's mother for Cui Fu, so that she could warm her stomach and intestines. Then she smiled slightly and said, "It was because my body couldn't stand it anymore, so she begged the prince to change to land. Besides, the prince said that it would not be a few days later? Sister, don't think too much, just go to bed with peace of mind."
Cui Fu knew that her younger siblings had a strong body! She had been pregnant for so long, and she could eat and sleep, but she had never seen her trouble. Ke Miantang said this, obviously because she was afraid that she would blame herself too much.
To be honest, after spending so long together, Cui Fu could somewhat see why Liu Miantangyuan, who was born from an ordinary family, was fascinated by his younger brother's arrogant person.
This girl is not only beautiful, but always has an indescribable sense of grandeur. This tolerance and generosity are somewhat different from the deliberate virtuousness of cousin Lian before.
Many women's calculating things seem to be really not worth mentioning in the eyes of this county lord. Sometimes when Cui Fu talks to her more harshly, she feels like she is making trouble with a child. In the tolerant eyes of her sister-in-law and elder, no matter how angry she is, she will gradually disappear.
Now Mian Tang takes the initiative to take the matter of delaying the trip to him. Cui Fu has no choice but to take the soup bowl and ease his tone and sigh at her: "You... but you must always remember that your husband is a pillar of the country, not a rural gentleman, you can be relaxed and relaxed. Don't bother him again in the affairs of the mansion."
Miantang peeled the orange and said, "Sister said yes, I have recorded it all... Is it good to ask Mom Li to make sour soup fish at noon? It will be even more beautiful if you give it an appetizing and then add some pickled radish to eat."
Cui Fu has never eaten any pickled radish since she was a child, and she couldn't help but say, "What are these side dishes? I heard you say it's delicious, but I don't have the appetite now. What do you like to eat, so I'll take a bite with you."
Miantang is really hungry for pickled radishes. This side dish that I had to eat with rice during the "frugal" days on North Street back then. Recently, I often dreamed of her, so I asked her mother Li to dry some and take it on the road to eat.
At noon, the convoy found a flat place next to the official road to rest and cook.
Miantang and Cui Fu, two big-bellied women, sat on a folding bed, basking in the sun.
After a while, the rice smelled like a scent. It was Miantang's sour soup fish and soybean steamed pickled radish. Since Cui Fu got off the boat, although she was a little bumpy in the carriage, she felt much more comfortable than on the boat. She slept well all morning. Now, she smelled the fragrance of radish and felt a little hungry.
Miantang taught her to eat sour soup and bibimbap, which was even more appetizing. However, the King of Huaiyang who was eating beside him seemed to hate the dried radish and would not touch it.
Of course, Cui Xingzhou didn't like to eat this. When he pretended to be a bankrupt businessman on the North Street, the dining table in the small yard was full of dried radish seeds. Although it was divided into different ways to eat salt, steam, and sauce, the effect of disgusting was the same.
Cui Xingzhou was not very understanding about Miantang's sudden desire to take this bite after she became pregnant. But the pregnant woman was a big deal. Seeing that she and her sister were eating very appetizing, she also took a bite without any choice.
Such a complete care of pregnant women's food and walks is much slower than the original schedule. Later, when I think back, everything was a coincidence and God felt pity.
On the second day after they changed their land route, someone from the dock sent a quick horse back to report to the King of Huaiyang, saying that the big ship was thunder in the water while passing through the river, and the bow of the ship was blown up a big hole, and the river water was gurgling in. In less than a stick of incense, the entire ship sank.
Many sailors on the ship who had no time to escape, although they were familiar with the nature of the water, were dragged into the water by the whirlpool of the shipwreck and never survived.
Afterwards, the official ship who was escorting the culprit, but it was a group of local boatmen. They had always had the habit of frying fish, and the locals knew about it.
But I usually stay in the pond and rarely on the river where ships come and go. This time I came to refining the river and frying fish, and I actually caused this huge disaster.
But the officers and soldiers who protected the boat felt that it was wrong. Logically speaking, even if the local fishermen exploded in the river, they would not have sunk such a large ship. After careful investigation, they found that the □□ in the bag they used had doubled, which scared the fishermen so much that they refused to admit it, saying that they did not put so many □□ in the first place.
Cui Xingzhou frowned and listened, knowing in his heart that these foolish local fishermen were just being pushed out to serve as scapegoats.
Someone was planning to come towards him and installed a strong bag on the waterway where the ships entering Beijing from the Huaiyang Palace must pass.
The river channel is surprisingly narrow. As long as you make it, you can pinch it and put it into the river for sure, the ship will be able to avoid it.
Cui Fu also heard it from the side, her face turned pale and she said she was afraid.
She thought that if Miantang had not persuaded his younger brother to go ashore in time, then at this moment, the family would have become the unjust souls of the water ghosts at the bottom of the river.
Miantang looked very calm and comforted Cui Fu with a soft voice, saying that the prince was a lucky person and had a heavenly appearance. Now he was closer to the capital. Be more careful in the future and there would be nothing wrong.
Although Miantang said that Cui Xingzhou was carrying Jiyun, Cui Fu felt that his mother's words were right. When Concubine Chu chatted with her privately, she said that although the county lord had a bad background, it seemed that the horoscope was very prosperous, which made the Cui family safe and safe several times.
At that time, Cui Fu felt that her mother was afraid that she would make things difficult for Liu Miantang, so she made a fool of herself. But now it seems that it is true. The county lord Huaisang, whom she looked down on, is really blessed.
In the next trip, Cui Xingzhou set up an outpost and explored the way. Because the officers and soldiers who protected the ship were alert at the time did not announce to the public that there were no important figures on the ship, and they did not take the official road and changed the paths in the morning without having to indicate their identity to the post station, so the enemy hidden in the dark really did not know the whereabouts of King Huaiyang at this moment.
However, when they arrived in the capital without any danger, the news that the King of Huaiyang and his family had died of a shipwreck were already spreading wildly.
The court was shocked, and Emperor Liu U selected an imperial envoy to Lianjiang to find out the truth. The imperial envoy received the emperor's order and left the capital that day. He speedboats rushed all the way to the place where King Huaiyang was sinking.
At this time, there was no trace of the river. The Huaiyang King's guard team received the advice of the Huaiyang King, and he pretended not to know that the prince had got off the ship. He answered all the news that the person on the way was not sure.
The local government detained all the ships that were coming and going on the river at that time, waiting for the imperial court to investigate.
The imperial envoy summoned several ship owners and friends who were close to the Huaiyang King's Official Ship and asked in person.
Several ship owners have been experiencing the water for decades and have experienced many experiences. They have seen fishermen exploding the river and fishing fish. But this time the thunder bomb was extremely powerful, and they only saw them in their lives. They saw a huge splash of water popping out from the official ship of the King of Huaiyang, wrapping the entire cap of the ship. The bow of the ship was even collapsed from the river. Then they heard a loud bang and the sound of the slamming water splashing the river. Several good-hearing guys were buzzing with their ears.
When the dangerous process of this son was written in the memorial and sent back to the capital, no one could believe that the King of Huaiyang would survive.
The heroes who pacified the northwest were buried at the bottom of the river like this, and all the civil and military officials in the court were sad and sad. Especially after the new emperor heard that the King of Huaiyang and his newlywed wife might have encountered an accident together, he could not control the grief in his heart. After reading the memorial, he spewed out blood.
But he was frightened by the attendants and quickly summoned the imperial physician to treat His Majesty.
At this moment, the King of Huaiyang sent someone to Beijing to report that he had arrived at the city gate.
