The day the rebels arrived at the border town, the whole city was covered with military law, and there were patrolling yamen runners on the streets, and no one was allowed to go out. Ling's family had already ordered their families to prepare vegetables, meat and eggs in advance, so they would not have to worry about three meals.

Just thinking that her husband was also outside the city, Ling's heart was not at peace for a moment, and she was so worried that she couldn't stand it. She would get up and walk to the door for a while. Even if she couldn't see anything, she had to look at it. Old Mrs. Zhao was better, and she also pinched a string of shiny wooden beads in her hand, constantly chanting the Buddha's name.

Zhao Changning didn't go to school either, so he didn't realize anything. He took Zhao Changyu and Li Guo Su Bai to study in Mr. Su's yard. The official school also stopped classes, and the students who were staying in the accommodation came home.

Ling's six gods were in power, Zhao Rong comforted him, "Don't worry, mom, daddy will be fine." Zhao Rong said this based on her previous life experience, and Zhao Rong has been living a good life in her previous life.

Ling sighed, "Your father won't come back for a while, and I can't rest assured."

Zhao Changqing said in a gentle voice, "It's just exchange of hostages, not war."

Ling said, "You kids know anything. You guys can do those rebels, my own rebellion, and there is nothing you dare not do. Killing someone is a trivial matter. Your father's martial arts are ordinary, how can I not worry?"

Zhao Changqing brought a cup of warm tea to Ling and said, "If my mother is worried about the rebel party, then there is no need to. How many rebel party members are there? Didn't my father say that? There are only five thousand people. There are tens of thousands of troops in the border city alone. What's more, the rebel party has been rushing from the imperial capital, with people and horses running away, and it's too late to escape. How could he really intend to fight the border army?"

"It's the border army. Although there are many people, it's more than enough to fight the rebel party. But, my mother thought about it. The rebel party was holding his majesty's younger brother, the youngest son of the current empress dowager. The rebel party ran away, and the border army could at most be incompetent. If he hurts his majesty's younger brother, the Empress Dowager's son, wouldn't he be in trouble!" Zhao Changqing said, "It's the Your Majesty, even if he wants to capture the rebel party, can he ignore his own brother? If he doesn't care about His Highness the Prince's Highness, he will not be able to take care of his younger brother?" Zhao Changqing said, "It's the Your Majesty. Even if he wants to capture the rebel party, can he ignore his younger brother? If he doesn't care about His Highness, the Prince's Highness, can he ignore his younger brother?

, The battle started in the imperial capital, how can the rebel party be allowed to run to the border town? It can be seen that the prince valued the prince, and that he would not ignore the safety of the prince. Even if the prince is concerned, he would definitely take the rescue of the prince as his first priority today. So I said that if the prince cannot fight today, I just waited to save the prince and Miss Song. If the party rebels out of the border town fortress, my father and the others could come back. The reason why I asked my father and the others to arrange the camp was simply to make a large number of people and shock the rebels."

If you say a word of comfort from Kong Luoluo, how could Ling be really at ease? Now Zhao Changqing has a reasonable and well-founded approach to this. Not to mention Ling, even Mrs. Zhao's expression is much more stable, and she smiled, "It's this. After all, you are the ones who are studying and have a bright head."

Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just hope to be as you said."

It was not until afternoon that Zhao Yong came back, and the martial law on the street was lifted. Seeing that her husband Quanxu Quanying had returned, Ling was immediately happy and greeted him, smiling, "Hurry up, go to the old lady's yard first, the old lady is thinking about you."

Zhao Yong laughed, "Nothing happened at all."

After all, Ling is a woman and has a delicate heart. Seeing that there was a large piece of mud on her husband's legs, she asked, "I said it's okay, why is your body so dirty?"

As the two said, Zhao Yong had already made great strides into the old lady's house. The old lady laughed, "Just be back."

"Don't worry, my son is fine." Zhao Yong sat in the chair, Liu'er brought tea, and Zhao Changqing tried the tea warmth and handed it to his father.

The old lady asked, "How is Your Highness, can you be safe?"

Zhao Yong poured half a cup of tea in one breath and laughed, "Save it, the general personally rescued His Highness the Prince."

The old lady asked again, "What's wrong with that Miss Song?"

Zhao Yong said, "This is also a coincidence. I happened to save Miss Song with President Yu. The girl was pitiful, and she fell off the horse and broke her leg. Fortunately, no major incident happened."

The old lady nodded and said, "Saving people is a matter of accumulation of virtue, and it is done right."

The two drank all the tea. Zhao Yong smiled and asked, "Do you have food at home? I have been waiting outside the city since the morning, and I don't even have a saliva."

Ling smiled, "Yes! I've asked the kitchen to warm it up, so I'll bring it to you!"

Zhao Changning, Zhao Changyu, Su Bailiguo also came over and talked to Zhao Yong in a silence. The room was very lively for a while.

After Zhao Yong had eaten, the old lady asked him to go back to the house to rest. Ling naturally also went to serve him, and Zhao Changning obediently returned to Mr. Su's courtyard to continue studying.

Zhao Yong was actually not tired. After eating, he lay on the kang and talked to Ling. Ling said softly, "I used to be so worried about others when I heard about wars. I didn't even agree. It was my turn to know what it felt. For most of the day you went out, my mother and I were so worried that I couldn't even drink saliva."

Zhao Yong held Ling's hand and played with it, laughing, "What are you worried about? You're not going to fight."

"I said it wasn't going to fight, but I was also ordering troops to arrange the camp. I was not afraid of ten thousand, but I was afraid of it. Fortunately, the two girls were sensible and knew that Kuanjie and the old lady were and I." Ling sighed, "Changqing, this girl, is really smart, and is better than others. Arong is more considerate than Changqing in terms of being caring, and her temper is worse than Changqing. After all, she is younger and less knowledgeable than Changqing."

Zhao Yong disagreed and laughed, "You are so biased, why is Changqing not caring anymore? I think she is very good. But Arong, last time I rushed to the garrison and didn't say anything about her, how could he say such unrestrained words to Changqing? Otherwise, if Changqing beats her, I have to scold her if I hear it!"

"Oh, what kind of life it has happened, you still remember it. I asked Arong, it was a misunderstanding, and the child did not intend it."

After all, Zhao Yong is a big man who walks outside every day, and is not as easy to fool as Ling. He said, "Whether it is intentional or not, what should I say to Changqing misunderstand like that? I want me to say, "Arong is too busy in the room and write poetry every day. The things that are all long and swearing and sighing without a spirit. There is a teacher like Mr. Su at home. Look how good Changqing gets with Mr. Su, Aning and Ayu are also enlightened by Mr. Su, let alone Abai. Arong is not very close to Mr. Su. This is also about learning with Mr. Su. When he is a child, he has to look at himself. Arong was smarter when he was a child, and he was smarter than Aning. Now I see her, and he can't keep up with Aning. Don't look at Aning's rough and carefulness."

Ling smiled, "Just let me tell you about her. The child has no temperament. If Arong is like Aning, I will be anxious. A girl must be like a girl. Arong is a little softer and has a bad temperament."

Zhao Yong thought of his own children, so he naturally had to think about the benefits and said, "Tell her some needlework and thread, and stop reading poetry."

Ling's answer.

Ling asked curiously again, "What does Your Highness look like? Have you seen it?"

Zhao Yong said, "I just took a look from a distance, but I didn't see the Qing Dynasty."

"What about Miss Song? How old is it?"

"Look at how two or three years older than our Changqing, he looks less than our Changqingjun." Zhao Yong said, "I almost forgot about the matter. Remember to remind me that when I go to the temple to have a good day and give Changqing a wedding ceremony."

"I understand." Ling said, "I have a few taels of gold here. I will give her two taels of gold to make a gold hairpin and a hairpin gift."

"Very well." Zhao Yong said, "the new clothes are also cut."

Ling all responded with a smile.

A few days later, Zhao Yong brought back twenty taels of silver. Ling asked, "Where did you get it?" Since her husband was demoted, his gray income has also been reduced.

Zhao Yong said, "Didn't I save Miss Song? Miss Song rewarded her today."

Ling raised her eyebrows, "Why did you see Miss Song? Didn't you break your leg?"

"Oh, it was said that Miss Song was sick a few days ago and woke up. To see the person who saved her, I and General Qi were called to the General's Mansion. Each of them received Xie Yin, who had twenty taels of silver."

Ling asked, "Is Miss Song better now?"

"It should be better, I don't know this." Zhao Yong and Ling said, "When I went to the inner house of the General's Mansion, there were two fierce nannies who were following the rules with me and President Yu, saying that they would not be allowed to raise their heads and talk nonsense when they entered. God, we both bowed our heads and came out."

Ling smiled, "This is also a waste of money, so I put it away."

"I asked you to put it away."

Ling asked another stupid question, "Miss Song was kidnapped from the imperial capital to the border town, did she still carry ready-made silver?"

"Stupid." Zhao Yong laughed, "It must have been prepared by the General's Mansion for her."

Speaking of the General's Mansion, Ling sighed, "After you have a good life and have the ceremony to hold the wedding ceremony, you will really have to discuss the marriage to Changqing."

"yes."

The identity of Miss Song was not known until Old Mrs. Zhao took her family to Zhu's family to pay tribute. Because the rebellion was too shocking, the border town was far away from the imperial capital, and people had such topics of conversation, so there was nothing they could say. In the teahouses, people often used them in groups to recite them with relish.

Yuan smiled, "Your Highness the Prince is very blessed. The king is here. A few days ago, local gentry came to pay their respects. Our master is lucky to meet the palace king."

Ling smiled, "Oh, that's a great honor." He said, "Changqing's father lined up outside that day. I asked him, what does the prince look like? Changqing's father said, it's so far away that he couldn't see clearly."

Yuan smiled, "In our city, the retired minister Wang received a nanmu crutch from the prince. The rest is a pair of jade pillows from our old lady who received the prince's honor."

Ling praised him with no clues and was full of envy.

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "It's just decent. I heard that Brother Yong saved Miss Song, but I wonder if it's true?"

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "It's true. Oh, that girl is pitiful, I heard from A Yong that my leg accidentally broke."

Old Mrs. Zhu said in a gentle voice, "Miss Song is the daughter of Song Rong and Song's mansion, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Court."

When Zhao Changqing heard the name Song Rong, she moved slightly. She had heard Mr. Su mention this godly man. How could Mr. Zhu have the ability to ask, "Girl, know Mr. Song?"

Zhao Changqing said, "I heard before that Mr. Song was the top scholar. He was a scholar at the age of twelve, and was awarded the Jieyuan of Zhili at the age of 15. As soon as he arrived at the capital, he was appointed as his beloved daughter by the Marquis of Wu'an. He was admitted to the spring examination and was named the top scholar in the high school. I just don't know that Ms. Song was the daughter of Mr. Song." I thought of Mr. Song's resume, and he knew how tough this person was. Now Mr. Song and his uncle of the Zhu family were in the Ministry of Revenue. Uncle Zhu had been an official for many years and had a gray beard, but he was firmly suppressed by Mr. Song, who was in his prime, which shows his methods.

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "If you know, it would be a great thing for Brother Yong to save people in time."

Zhao Changqing was puzzled and took the opportunity to ask, "I always feel strange when I hear this. It makes sense to rebel the party and support the prince as a hostage. After all, the prince is noble. But why did the rebel even rob Miss Song? What's the use of robbing her if she is a girl?"

Yuan smiled with a smile on his lips and said, "I don't know if I don't go through this matter. In addition to a fourth prince, there are two top scholars from all over the country. They were originally twins, surnamed Wu and Wu brothers. Their origins are extremely complicated, so there is no need to say. Why did you say that the rebel party support Miss Song? It was because Miss Song and Wu Shuang, the eldest of the Wu brothers, had been married to Wu Shuang, the eldest of the Wu brothers! I thought that since I kidnapped people to the border town, I said that I would take Miss Song away. For some reason, I did not take her away, but instead left her in the border town. Although Miss Song was rescued, how could she be a human being in the future?"

Zhao Changqing said, "How Miss Song is still a story. According to the uncle, the Wu brothers must rebel, and they must implicate the Minister of Song."

Yuan sighed, "It's such a coincidence. At that time, the rebel party plotted to kill the lord, and the Minister of Song made contributions to rescue the emperor. Your Majesty was not even concerned about the marriage between Wu Shuang and Miss Song. Now, the Minister of Song has been removed from the title in the imperial capital and has gone to a higher level. Your father saved Miss Song this time, and the Song family must remember this kindness."

Zhao Changqing hurriedly said, "How dare you be this? My father is already a ward office, so it is worth saving people."

"It's always a good thing to save people." Old Mrs. Zhu smiled, "By the way, I remember that girl Qing is fifteen this year, why don't you meet for her? I'm still thinking about it, there's something for her."

Old Mrs. Zhao laughed, "The family was busy talking a few days ago, and I really couldn't get any time. Today I came here and told my mother that her father would go to the temple to invite monks to calculate a good day, and it was the third day of the August 2018. I wouldn't dare to disturb my mother at that time, but my cousin and daughter-in-law. If it's okay, would you please ask them to go and have a day out?"

Yuan smiled, "Aunt, I must go there."

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "It's good to have a life set. I'm always thinking about this in my heart, and you don't come to tell me. I've prepared it here, Luan'er, bring it over."

The maid Luaner held an old mahogany box. When the old lady Zhu opened it, she was a pair of beads dotted with green gold silk hairpins. The bead in the middle was the size of a lotus seed, and there were circles of rubies the size of mung beans embedded around it, with green silk silk on the edge, exquisite and luxurious.

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled, "I'm old, and it's not good to wear these colorful hairpins. I've ordered people to prepare this for you, so I'll use it for your hairpin and hairpin."

Yuan smiled and said, "I don't look like my ancestors, I have so many treasures in my chest. I happened to get a few good pieces of material before. Yesterday, Sister Ling came home, and I gave her a few pieces and a few more pieces, which were suitable for their little girls to wear. I asked someone to clean up later. Changqing and Arong are both such well-behaved children, and it's just right to take them back to make clothes."

The two of them hurriedly came forward to thank him, and Zhao Changqing smiled, "Every time I come, I prefer my ancestors to have so many things. Now my uncle also rewards us. I am worried that I will be spoiled by my elders."

Yuan smiled, "It's because you are sensible that your elders are happy to favor you."

As usual, Mrs. Zhu kept the meal and called Changqing alone to talk before the meal. Mrs. Zhu said, "This rebellion has been known to everyone in the world, do you know?"

Zhao Changqing said, "I heard some rumors outside, but some of them were gone. I don't know what the details are."

Old Mrs. Zhu looked at Zhao Changqing and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty's five sons, the second prince was sent to the vassal early, but it was a blessing in disguise. The third prince, the fifth prince, and the crown prince were killed by the rebels. Now His Majesty has only one second prince."

Zhao Changqing looked at Old Lady Zhu in confusion and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is in his prime, and you will only have more concubines and give birth to a prince." She suddenly became wise and seemed to understand the intention of Old Lady Zhu talking to her, and Zhao Changqing's face gradually changed.

Old Mrs. Zhu sighed, "It seems that you don't want to."

Zhao Changqing pursed his lips and said, "Now my ancestors look at me well. They are just in a small place like the border town. The world is so big that only Jiangnan is a place where beautiful women are abundant. My ancestors' plans are not novel. I think that there are probably many people who plan like the old lady. But girls like me are outstanding in small families. How can I compare to those ladies who have backgrounds? In terms of appearance, compared with truly outstanding women, I am afraid they are far inferior to those who are truly outstanding."

"Besides, our family, all three uncles are serious and have become officials, learn civil and military skills, and are in the imperial family. I read the history books. Most of the talented and learned people, as long as they gain the reputation of relatives in the harem, are not very good. From the history books, there are many families with prominent relatives at the moment. Which family has become famous by their relatives and lasts for a long time?" Zhao Changqing said softly, "According to my shortcomings, like my ancestors, they attach importance to clan studies and cultivate talents, so that those who are capable of clans emerge in many ways. Who doesn't admire your insights?"

Old Mrs. Zhu's face did not change much, and she said, "This is probably the only chance you can have a chance to speak up for the Chu family in the future."

Zhao Changqing was silent for a while and whispered, "I was so scared when Brother Chu said he liked me. Later, his family didn't want to do so, so I went to persuade him a lot of good things, thinking that it was not suitable for the wrong family. I was a very stupid person, and then I felt that I liked him very much. But how could I deserve him? At that time, I thought that although I was not worthy of him, I knew his goodness. I was looking forward to it. Even if one day he would marry and have children, I hope that everything would go well."
