Chapter 488 The Siege

To the study room led Shen Shuguang, who was writing his homework with a face of great bitterness and deep hatred, and asked Huang to hold the second son Shen Shuxie. Because of the fear of delay, so it is too late to change clothes, only slightly organized and went out the door.

When Wei Changying and his mother and son, along with Duanmu Xinmiao, arrived at the upper room, the mother and daughter of the eldest house had already arrived first. The rest of the unmarried children of Mr. and Mrs. Shen Xuan were also coming over one by one.

The second and sixth houses had not yet arrived, and it looked like they would be delayed for a while.

When Wei Changying and Duanmu Xinmiao entered the door, they heard the servants from both sides come over first to report, "The third grandson's medicine has just been boiled, and the second young lady is feeding it to him to drink, so it will take a little while for him to come." Duanmu Xinmiao today door is for Shen Linyi's cough, and Duanmu Yanyu temporarily can not pass, that the second house now the two granddaughters must also wait for the mother together.

"Six young lady these two days body is not very good, Fang just got up on the dizziness to sit down ......" Huo Qingling this time the body has indeed not been very good, Duanmu Xinmiao has seen the advice given after the long term conditioning to become.

"Yi'er's medicine is brought here to drink again, as for Qingling, since she's dizzy, she'll come in a soft sedan chair! It's only a few steps, can't you be a little more tactful?" At the top, Mrs. Su's face turned blue as she droned!

The servants of the second and sixth houses were startled, and busily said, "Yes!" They hurriedly withdrew to pass on the message.

Wei Changying and Liu exchanged a look of surprise although it was said that everyone talked about Mrs. Su behind her back, saying that she was a person who emphasized on rules, and that emphasizing on rules was often used to describe a mother-in-law, implying harshness. However, when they got along with each other, they knew that although Mrs. Su was not kind enough to treat her daughter-in-law as if she were her own, she was not unsympathetic to her daughter-in-law.

If it is usual to report such a reason, Mrs. Su will only dispense with the second house, the sixth house to come, and even if it is not urgent, it will also care about two voices. Today, it is clear that this is too much for them to be delayed.

Mrs. Su finished scolding the subordinates, the face of the third house is far less cordial than usual, and even the most favorite grandson Shen Shuxie, who looks the most like her, pounced forward in a milky voice and pampered her, and only barely smiled, did not reach out to embrace the Wei Changying "Let the nursing mother take the Xie'er, I will have something to say in a moment!"

Wei Chang Ying busy asked the nurse to carry Shen Shuxie back, and coaxed him a couple of sentences to avoid crying ...... is across the seat of the second house and Liu's winking speculation in the end what is the big deal when the younger sister Shen Zang Ning came.

Shen Zang Ning's temperament, more than ten years as one day, whether it is beaten and scolded, or with Gu Yan betrothal, or some days ago the future eunuch was the new emperor gave death, not yet out of the cabinet husband's family has lost power, have not been able to call her to have too much change.

For example, at this moment, as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Mother mother, how could you suddenly call everyone over? Is there something big going on? Otherwise, I would have to go back to catch my flower civet cat. That little thing is too disobedient ......"

Mrs. Su frowned, ever since Shen Zang Ning followed her father's order to go to Spring Grass Lake, she held her guilt towards this daughter, and didn't reprimand and scold her like she did before when she didn't move. But still, she spoke out now to interrupt her chattering complaints, "You sit down first, wait until everyone is gathered."

"...... Oh." Shen Zang Ning originally reluctant, but see has arrived two sisters-in-law trying their best to give her a wink, even the great niece Shen Shujing can't stop coughing ...... but nevertheless the face of the crowd before stopping the sound, not too happy to walk to Shen Shuguang in front of him, touched his head, said, "light child today homework is done not ever? "

Shen Shuguang a "little aunt" has not yet called out, sniffing face first collapsed, said "little aunt how will see nephew every nephew asked this?" Although his talent in reading did not reach the degree of cousin Shen Shuyan, but also very intelligent. He just didn't know whether he was brought up by his elder brother or was just playful, but he didn't love to go to school very much.

Favorably, after his father left and was watched by his grandfather, these two are both people who refuse to be soft-hearted. Daily assigned down homework he wanted to not write can not, so write very aggrieved.

Fangcai mother said to bring him to his grandmother here, he threw the pen, which was only happy not half an hour, was the little aunt mentioned sad ......

"Because Little Auntie was also most afraid of people asking about homework when she was a child." Shen Zang Ning touched his head and then sat back in her seat, at this moment very satisfied nodded and said with a smile, "Unfortunately, your cousins are all well-behaved and tame, their homework was all done early, not afraid of being asked at all. Especially Yan'er is the most exasperating, even the homework that wasn't assigned to her was done. Little Auntie ah most like you and your big brother such juniors, every time I ask and see you guys hanging your heads in shame, Little Auntie feels happy!"

"...... "Her voice is not too high or too low, because at this moment, Mrs. Su's face is hard to see, and only just rushed through the second house and the sixth house, the hall is very quiet, so most of the people have heard, people have lost their laughter-Even Mrs. Su was so angry that she laughed a little and scolded "What are you talking about? Ming'er just doesn't care, and Guang'er is smart as a whip, do you think they're all the same as you?"

Shen Zang Ning skimmed her lips and said, "That's what my seer at that time said about me too the young lady of the house can be smart, just not very attentive."

"You this ......" this kind of daughter simply want to spoil can not spoil! Mrs. Su habitually want to roll up her sleeves to beat her again, Liu busy up and laugh to persuade "The fourth sister to joke a few words, mother can not be taken seriously. What's more, the fourth sister is also reminding Guang'er and Ming'er, don't slacken off on your studies! Ming'er is not here, turn around ah daughter-in-law must bring this reminder to him."

Wei Changying also said with a laugh and a cry, "What sister-in-law said is very true, Guang'er is usually the most playful, and my daughter-in-law has a headache when she sees him now."

"I haven't been playing around all the time, haven't I done my homework every day?" Shen Shuguang tugged on her sleeve with a long beak and said, "Otherwise Grandfather will definitely beat me up!"

"You!" Wei Changying saw that Mrs. Su had already been persuaded to calm down, but the gravity between her brows was not eliminated, and her gaze towards her grandchildren was vaguely filled with bone-deep fondness her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't have the heart to cajole Shen Shuguang any more, so she pinched her son's cheeks and said softly, "Your grandmother is going to talk to everyone, so be a good boy and go to your nurse's place to stay. Don't say anything, go to your nurse's place and stay there, huh?"

Shen Shuguang listened to his mother's words, sensing that this was not the time to be pampered, he let go of his hand in a bit of a spoiled mood, and without a word, he went to find his nursemaid.

He just arrived at the nurse's front, a footsteps at the door, everyone thought that the second house or the sixth house to come, I did not expect is actually enter the door Pei Meiniang she personally carry Shen Shuliu, followed by only two or three attendants, just came in, she was anxious yelling "Rong people really soldiers are coming to the city? Is it true? Why didn't we hear anything at home? Or is it because the heavy courtyard and deep buildings have blocked the clamor outside the city? Could it be that the scouts were mistaken?"

Mrs. Su couldn't stop her before she crackled all the words, and looked at Mrs. Su nervously waiting for an answer the original relaxed atmosphere in the hall because Shen Zang Ning was teasing Shen Shuguang froze in an instant!

"The Rongs are approaching the city?" Liu and Wei Changying were so stunned that they both stood up! Even though they had noticed the way Mrs. Su looked at her grandchildren, they did not expect such news!

"Mother, is this true?"

"Mother, which city are the soldiers approaching? Yanzhou or the ...... imperial capital?!"

There was no way to describe the waves of shock that were set off in the hearts of the two men for a moment!

Although Wei Chang Ying subconsciously asked which city the Rongmen were approaching, she actually knew that if it was only Yanzhou that was under siege, her mother-in-law would only call herself over to pacify her, and at most call her sister-in-law, Liu, to help out. Now to call the whole family size, this is obviously because ...... this city, is the imperial capital.

It's the empire they're all in.

One moment he was still laughing and joking with Duanmu Xinmiao in the Jintong courtyard, but the next moment he was already surrounded by foreigners!

Where is the sunny day that can describe this?

Wei Changying bit his lower lip, ignoring the fact that he had bitten a bloodstain on his lip with such force, and asked again in a hurried voice, "What about Yanzhou now?!"

Mrs. Su's gaze gloomy look at a nephew-in-law Pei Meiniang came to yell out the truth so that they consumed a lot of spirit to come to the wording is completely in vain not to mention that, because this news is really too sudden, and even the underlings were stunned ...... can imagine that the next even if the imperial capital can be held, the Shen family will also have to spend a great deal of effort to appease the lower It can be imagined that even if the imperial capital can be held, the Shen family will have to spend a great deal of effort to calm down the hearts of the subordinates, lest the hearts of the people fluctuate and cause chaos.

But Pei Meiniang didn't even think she had done anything wrong, and answered Wei Changying on behalf of Mrs. Su "Yanzhou is fine! Although the Rongs are coming from Yanzhou, their goal is the imperial capital! If it wasn't for the fast scouts outside the city who came back to report the news and closed the four gates in time, I'm afraid the Rongs would have entered the city by now. I'm afraid the Rongs would have entered the city by now."

The tone of celebration turned to fear, "But this time, the Rong people came with an army of 200,000 people! Our imperial capital has no preparations whatsoever! The Xuanjia Guards were sent away not long ago, and now this is going to ......"

"You shut up!" Mrs. Su looked at her nephew-in-law, who was afraid that she was not intimidating enough, and her anger surged, no longer caring about what relatives are not relatives, she grabbed the tea bowl and slammed it in front of her, shouting angrily, "Did I tell you to speak? The moment you come, you'll be talking endlessly! You're the only one with a long mouth who has to talk, aren't you? Look at your sisters-in-law who have such long tongues! Is this how the Pei family teaches their daughters?"

Pei Meiniang has always thought that Mrs. Su attach importance to kinship, is not going to throw face to their own, at the moment estimated the error of the moment was startled, the hands of a loose almost Shen Shuliu fell panicked next to the nipples to make the girl busy to help, and Shen Shuliu, although the nipples to help fast, spared his own sister as well as Prince Shen Luang's plague, but by the bowl of tea smashed! Sound scared, suddenly wow cry!

"Liu'er good, not afraid!" Pei Meiniang easy to get this son, the heart of the baby like a moment can not leave the side, originally she was not convinced that Mrs. Su's reprimand, this time also do not care about the aunt, rushed to hold him coaxing.

Mrs. Su's chest in the hall rose and fell violently Shen Shuliu is not yet a full week, you can't be bothered with such a small child, right?

But now the hall is shocked, are waiting to ask about the siege of the Rong people, Pei Meiniang this troublemaker is oblivious to the good things they do, even coaxing the child does not know to avoid. Shen Shuliu is not as weak as his sibling, this kid cries loudly ...... He howled at the top of his voice here, how else can Mrs. Su answer her daughters in law s questions?
