Chapter 1312 Willing to be an ugly girl 39
But with all this chattering, Xi Ning couldn't sleep.
She lay down with her eyes closed and asked leisurely: "Why did you think of coming here?"
The elder brother turned sideways: "I have a few ideas, but the roads are all blocked, so I can only run outside the city."
"Are there no officers and soldiers guarding the city?" She frowned slightly. Logically speaking, no matter which country or dynasty, there will always be someone guarding the city gate. Even this Zhuangzi used to have two or three doormen taking turns watching the door.
Now that we are here, we are just a grasshopper on a rope, and the eldest brother knows everything and can't stop talking: "Some of Prince Dunkang's relatives are responsible for guarding the city gate."
The troops and horses are controlled by Fujiwara Michizhang's line, and they always have to give their brothers from the Fujiwara family a way to survive, so the task of guarding the city gate is left to another line.
It was indeed a good strategy to force Fujiwara Michichiro and his son outside the city to kill them. After all, he had been in the city for too long and caused too much disturbance, which attracted the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and these officers and soldiers belonged to Michichi Fujiwara.
As a result, the assassin failed to ambush him and only shot and wounded Fujiwara Michichiro. Fujiwara and his son were forced to flee outside the city. He hid in the village.
Xi Ning tried hard to search the memory of that time from the mind of the body owner. I don’t know whether it was because the news was strictly blocked at that time, or because I was afraid that the women and children at home would be worried. I just said that Fujiwara Michichi was frightened when he encountered a cow on his way home.
But if you think about it carefully, during the month when Fujiwara Michichiro was recovering from his injuries, only the fifth and sixth brothers came to visit his father. The other brothers said that they were very busy without their father.
This is very abnormal. Even the empress dowager, queen dowager, and middle palace came back to pay a sympathetic visit. Why didn't your brothers come? Later, the eldest brother and the second brother came over, but they felt unwell at first glance. Either he has a minor illness, or he is too busy with state affairs.
It wasn't until a month after Fujiwara nobility, and half a month after he became a monk, that the fourth brother appeared. He was very weak, and it took him two full months to get better.
Because Mr. Fujiwara was injured, the body master did not participate in the annual spring singing party.
It was a singing party held in the royal family, where the ladies wore twelve singles of Chinese clothes and walked and danced on a square stage. To put it harshly, it means taking a few steps and turning around, then walking a few more steps and turning around. In the season of spring, it is customary for a group of girls to dance to please the gods and pray for safety and success.
The purpose is to let powerful people take a look at the noble girls who have not yet left the court, so that they can easily choose the ones they want to marry in the future.
However, the singing party was not held that year. It was not until the spring of the next year that another singing party was held. The appearance of the eleven-year-old body master amazed everyone. The nine-year-old prince was moved and recruited him into the palace as a minister.
At this time, Mr. Fujiwara had become a monk, and Uchiko felt that his status was in jeopardy, so he considered his eldest brother as his adoptive father. Two years later, he entered the Prince's Middle Palace, and the body master also moved in with him.
Four years later, Xizi died after giving birth to the first prince. The body owner did not become the crown prince because she also died in childbirth soon.
What do you know at the age of nine? It’s not just that when you see others being amazed, you just want to do it if you think it looks good. Otherwise, what if the ten-year-old king is going to go and the nineteen-year-old queen is jealous, and this jealousy is not going to cause a big fuss.
I rubbed my face, what a mess.
Xining sat up, thought for a while and then ordered. Let the people in the kitchen chop wood, set up pots, and roast meat.
As soon as they heard there was meat to eat, everyone not in the kitchen came to help.
Looking at the yard planted with various plum trees, a group of people were busy. The brothers were stunned again.
The second brother, who was speechless, took a long time to come back to his senses: "Why are you burning meat?" "When marching to fight, or before attacking a city and defending it, the soldiers need to be fed and drunk." Xining simply stopped sleeping and looked for In this place, I wrapped myself in a quilt and sat on my back.
The eldest brother understood: "Do you think this boy Dunkang will come in?"
"Yeah~" Xining responded casually: "Akui, take a few people to the warehouse and move the fireworks that were not set off during the New Year here."
When she came back, Mrs. Akiko asked someone to install a basket of fireworks, but she was too lazy to set them off, so she threw them into the warehouse. Besides, Fujiwara Mansion was having New Year's Eve dinner with Tenno Nakamiya and Crown Prince Princess, but she was setting off fireworks here alone. She was said to be enjoying herself in misery, and even despised the Queen and Prince Princess.
She figured it out. In the previous plot, Prince Atsuyasu chased him to the village, and Michinaga Fujiwara and his four sons escaped by chance. However, the fourth son should have fallen into the hands of Prince Atsuyasu and was not rescued until a month and a half later. .
The condition was that Mr. Fujiwara gave up his power, so Mr. Fujiwara became a monk. But after becoming a monk, the other sons were still there.
In the previous plot, Prince Dunkang fell seriously ill not long after. He had to shave his head and become a monk, but he died quickly. He was only 20 years old when he died. His only four-year-old daughter was adopted by her eldest brother.
In this year, not only was the Fujiwara family turned upside down, the head of the family, the powerful Fujiwara Michizhang, became a monk, while Prince Atsushi died directly. It's ridiculous to think about it now. Before Fujiwara noboshi officially became a monk, Prince Atsushiyasu became a monk. When Fujiwara noboshi was eating fast and chanting Buddha, Prince Atsuyasu was buried in the grave.
Prince Dunkang is indeed too young, how could he possibly outplay this old fox.
I just remember that after the cow was frightened, it not only gored Fujiwara Nozomi, but also many people. Mrs. Akiko sighed for this reason, and she had to spend a lot of money. With this going on, what happened to the people in the village at that time?
Bring over strips of pork, cut some into small pieces, and boil them directly in the pot. Some slices are prepared and fried with winter bamboo shoots and miso paste. Pour the rice into another pot, add water and bring it to a boil.
A basket of fireworks was brought in, and Xi Ning motioned to put it aside and told the younger Sixth Brother: "Sixth Brother, I'll leave this to you. As soon as you see Dunkang's people rushing in, light them immediately."< br>
Brother Six picked up a firework bomb that looked like a bomb: "Are you reporting the news?"
"Yes!" Xining pointed to the brazier next to him, not to panic and arrange other things.
If Dunkang's people rush in, it means that there is no need to worry about anything and they can quickly set off fireworks for the soldiers and horses in the capital to see. Now that the festival is over, if you see someone setting off fireworks in the middle of the night, you will definitely come over to see what happens.
"Why not let it go now?" Sixth Brother was confused and got hit on the back of the head.
"Idiot!" The second brother slapped him, and he was very angry: "If you send a signal now, doesn't it mean that you are telling us that we are here?"
He hates iron but can't make it into steel. No wonder he would recognize someone as his mother. He's really stupid.
The meat was being cooked in the pot, and was being turned over in the oil pot. The rice was burning next to it, and soon the aroma came out.
In order to eat it as quickly as possible, I turned up the heat and stir-fried it faster with the shovel. The swishing sound felt like the best sound in the world right now.
Those who were accompanying them had already been hungry after escaping for half a day, and many of them had their stomachs growling when they smelled the meat.
