Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 83 Testing

There were many speculations about Yue Fei's death in later generations, including that he participated in the dispute to establish the crown prince, or that he was about to meet the Second Saint.

But as we all know, it was Qin Hui who killed Yue Fei.

In addition, the emperor's attitude is also very important, and the Song Dynasty has been guarding against generals since the founding of the country. This concept has been deeply rooted in the bones of emperors of all generations.

The soldiers and horses commanded by Yue Fei were called the Yue Family Army by the people. Yue Fei did not have much political acumen and would not commit self-destruction. It was strange that the emperor could trust him.

In general, everything else is just side details, and the emphasis on literature over military affairs is the most fatal.

The military generals of the Song Dynasty who were famous rarely ended well. On the contrary, there were many civil servants who had led troops.

The funny thing is that these civil servants and soldiers did not suffer any suspicion. Although many of them ended badly, it was all because of party disputes.

The power of civil servants is huge, and the emphasis on civil service over military affairs is a legacy of history. It has been decided since the founding of the country. Unless there is a change of dynasty, it cannot be changed by human power.

If you want to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, you can only enter the officialdom through the imperial examination and follow the civil servant route.

Otherwise, the civil servants would hold back and it would be impossible to succeed.

After hearing what Li An said, Gu Tingye was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He looked at Li An in shock and said, "You see clearly."

"hehe."

Li An wisely ended the topic and said with a smile: "Are you still planning to join the army?"

"You have said so, why should I join the army? But my mind is too confused now, and I am not sure whether to go back or not. I have to think about it carefully." Gu Tingye said.

Li An nodded, and he could understand Gu Tingye's contradiction.

Although father and son have deep conflicts, Gu Tingye still respects his father in his heart.

Suddenly one day he learned that his mother's death was related to his father, and he couldn't accept it.

He was unwilling to go back because he was afraid that after seeing his father, he would not be able to help but question his father, and he was even more afraid of getting answers he didn't want from his father, so he chose to escape.

"No matter how much others talk about this kind of thing, it's useless. You have to figure it out yourself. I'm going back first."

Li An stood up, saw that Gu Tingye didn't speak, patted his shoulder and walked out.

……

"Auntie, I have secretly asked the old ladies in the house who have given birth to children. They all said that they should move around more in the morning and evening, so that the childbirth will go smoothly. You can't stay bored in the house every day."

Xiaodie carefully helped Aunt Wei walk in the yard and said as she walked.

"No one saw it, right?" Aunt Wei asked.

"The slaves are all chosen from the old lady and the old lady in the eldest lady's courtyard, and if they are all used when chatting with them, don't worry." Xiaodie said.

"That's good."

Aunt Wei touched her belly, with a smile on her cold face.

"Auntie, don't worry. I heard from those old ladies that the first pregnancy is usually more dangerous. As long as you are careful with the second pregnancy, there is no danger." Xiaodie said with a smile.

"I'm not worried about anything else. The master is going to Bianjing soon. If he gives birth on the ship, the child will also suffer." Aunt Wei sighed.

"Auntie, don't worry too much. I heard that the master will not leave for about two months. I heard that although the pregnancy is ten months, the baby usually takes more than nine months. You are now more than eight months old. , Maybe the confinement period will be over when we set off." Xiaodie comforted.

"I hope, okay, I'm a little tired, please help me go back." Aunt Wei said.

"Ah."

Xiaodie responded, and just as she was about to help Aunt Wei walk back, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Meet Aunt Wei."

Xue Niang bowed and looked at Aunt Wei's body and belly.

"What are you here for?"

Xiaodie blocked Aunt Wei behind her and looked at Xue Niang warily.

"Haha, the master has a lot of things to do these days, so he asked my Aunt Lin to take care of the housework. Isn't the master going to Bianjing to be an official soon? The family is busy packing things, and Aunt Lin is worried that Aunt Wei doesn't have enough manpower. , just let me come over and ask if you want to send a few more people over to help clean up." Xue Niang said with a smile.

"No, I don't have many things here, so come here if you're busy. Go back and help me thank Aunt Lin." Aunt Wei said.

"Hey! That slave has resigned."

Xue Niang bowed, closed the door and left.

"Pooh!"

Xiaodie pouted at the door and said, "Aunt, how can Aunt Lin be so kind? I don't know what she has in mind."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, it will be troublesome if someone hears it. Help me back to the room." Aunt Wei said.

……

Xue Niang left Aunt Wei and hurried back to Linqige.

When Lin Xiaoniang saw her coming back, she quickly asked the servants in the room to go out and asked, "How is it? Have you seen anyone?"

"The slave found an excuse to enter the yard, and Aunt Wei happened to be in the yard. The slave took a look. Although Aunt Wei is only a little fatter, her belly is very big. I think they sent too many supplements, and Aunt Wei can't eat it. That’s it, I’ll give it to Xiaodie.” Xue Niang said.

"and many more!"

Lin Xiaoniang frowned and asked, "Are you saying that Aunt Wei is not that fat, but her belly is much bigger?"

"Not only is she much bigger, she is also more than eight months old, but this slave girl looks even bigger than when the eldest lady and the little lady gave birth before." Xue Niang said with a smile.

"No!" Lin Xiaoniang said: "She didn't eat well before and was already thin. Now she eats so well and has such a big belly. How can she be just a little fatter than before?"

She had given birth to two children, and she gained a lot of weight each time she was pregnant. In order to prevent her figure from getting out of shape and making Sheng Hong dislike her, she spent a lot of effort to lose weight after giving birth.

I even didn’t dare to have any more children later.

If Aunt Wei has a child, she will eat well. If she is already plump, it would be normal for her to be just a little bit fatter.

But Aunt Wei was not in good condition before and was relatively thin. In this case, after taking so many supplements, she was only a little fatter than before, and she looked wrong no matter what.

"But if I look carefully, I will see that her belly is really big." Xue Niang said.

"If you have a big belly, can't you just put a pad or something in your clothes?"

The more Lin Xiaoniang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Aunt Wei must have noticed her intentions and did not take more supplements. In order not to be discovered, she also deliberately pretended to have a big belly.

"Xiao Niang, what should we do now?" Xue Niang asked.

"Humph!"

Lin Xiaoniang sneered when she heard this: "Since she has noticed it, we can't let her live. You are like this..."
