Fragrant willow catkins

Mo Xi was indeed reminded of the Second Madam because of this mother and son. When she was young, she thought that the Second Madam was just partial because she had bad behavior, so she only took Mo Sheng and not her. When she grew up, she found that her mother really didn't like her. No matter how good or excellent she was, she could not get a single compliment from her mother. And her father didn't care whether she was good or bad, he just wanted her to be happy. Over time, she lived more and more recklessly, and didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and lived only for herself.

Outside the carriage, Mr. He waved to a guard and whispered something in the man's ear. The guard then rode away on his horse. Mr. He also sat back and drove the carriage with peace of mind.

In the last carriage, there was some concern on Lady Bai's face, but because the woman was too dirty, Lady Bai only gave verbal instructions to the maid, asking her to hand her a towel and help her hold the child.

Lady Bai kept her distance from the woman, but still asked, "Miss, it must be very hard to flee with a child, right?"

The woman held the child and nodded with a smile, "It's hard, but for the child to survive, everything is worth it."

Noble Lady Bai nodded affirmatively, "Indeed. Hey, girl, how many months old is your baby?"

As a concubine in the palace, Bai Guiren wanted to have a child of her own more than anyone else to consolidate her position. However, the emperor had never visited her since she entered the palace, and her path to becoming a concubine was nowhere in sight.

Now seeing such a little baby, she felt very happy.

The woman kept her head down after getting on the bus. She knew that this group of people were all wealthy and did not dare to be too presumptuous. So when Noble Lady Bai asked how many months the child was, no one noticed that she paused, and then she calmly answered Noble Lady Bai's question, "Three months."

Lady Bai: "Oh. Where is your hometown? Why didn't I hear about floods anywhere along the way?"

"I……"

Before the woman could answer her, the child in her arms suddenly started crying. The woman avoided Bai Guiren's words and focused on coaxing the baby in her arms.

I saw her skillfully checking the baby's swaddling clothes, and after making sure that the baby had not defecated, she picked the child up upright and coaxed him.

But after a long time of coaxing, the child's crying was almost heard throughout the whole team. At first, seeing how skilled she was, Lady Bai thought she would be able to coax the child quickly. After being tormented for a long time, coupled with her nausea, Lady Bai finally frowned.

Lady Bai: "What a noise! ​​Is he hungry? Are you going to feed him?"

"I...I don't know..."

"Don't you know what it means? He is already three months old. Can't you tell why he is crying?" Lady Bai spoke with some anger. She had worked so hard to pretend to be a good person, but ended up acting like this.

"No, I..." The woman looked embarrassed. She seemed to be confused for a while and then slowly said, "I haven't eaten for several days. I don't have any milk anymore..."

It turned out that she was not unable to figure out why her child was crying, but that she was in an awkward situation and really couldn't give her child anything.

After hearing what she said, Lady Bai felt too embarrassed to lecture her any further, so she had no choice but to ask her maid to get off the carriage and find Mr. He, to stop the team, and to ask the chef what food she could give to the three-month-old baby.

The team stopped again. Listening to Mr. He's voice, Ningxu poked her head out from behind the curtain of the carriage. At this time, Mr. He had just jumped off the carriage.

Ningxu: "Mr. He, what's wrong?"

Mr. He: "It's okay, Miss. They said something happened with that girl. I'll go take care of it and we'll be able to set off again soon!"

"Oh..." Ningxu watched He Lao holding clothes and running towards the carriage behind. Looking back, she could see Mo Xun also sticking his head out to look outside, but he was only looking at the window.

"Hey! Do you know what happened?!" Ning Xu shouted to Mo Xun.

Mo Xun was concentrating on looking towards the carriage at the back, but he didn't expect to hear a sound from the front. He turned around and looked at the window of the carriage in front for a long time, but didn't see anyone coming out.

Just as he was wondering, he looked down and saw Ningxu's head sticking out from the driver's seat.

Mo Xun: "You are really good at hiding. I don't know, I just heard the child crying all the way, maybe he is hungry."

"It's normal to be hungry. They came here to escape the disaster, so they must have not eaten anything." Ning Xu looked up at the sky. "It's almost time for lunch, right? How about we get off the car and set up camp to eat?"

Mo Xun winked at her and looked into the carriage in front.

Whether to set up camp or not is up to the person inside to decide, you go.

Ningxu understood and stopped lying on the ground. She stood up and walked into the carriage. "Brother, I'm hungry. Shall we go downstairs to eat?"

Among all the people in their group, Ningxu was the one who adapted to the change of identity the fastest. She was just a little maid before, and her ability to accept things was very strong. It was just pretending to be a family member.

The Third Master put down the scroll in his hand. "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, go down and let the chefs cook."

"Okay!" Ningxu ran out of the carriage happily, and the Third Master stood up after her. "It's time to eat! Let's find a place to camp! Let's take a nap here!"

"Yeah!" Mo Xun was still at the window. He stood up and walked out when he heard Ningxu's cry. Sitting was uncomfortable to begin with, and now he was surrounded by the crying of a baby. He couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to go down and have fun!

Everyone looked for a place to set up camp, and everyone rested on the spot, except for the chefs who were swinging their spoons so hard that sparks were almost coming out.

Old He came back and reported to the Third Master that the baby was crying because he was hungry, and the mother had no milk, so he had to ask the chef to cook some rice porridge and feed the baby rice soup.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. It still depends on the woman's physical condition in the future. If that doesn't work, she will have to find a wet nurse.

The reason why the Third Master took this endless mountain road was to explore the terrain structure and climate here, and see what kind of industry could be developed here that was suitable for the common people to get started. It would be a waste to leave this vast expanse of beautiful mountain forests like this.

So he knew before entering the mountains that there were almost no people living in the mountains, and they had to bring their own supplies. It would be impossible to find a wet nurse in this mountain range.

Now they could only hope that the woman would recover, otherwise they would have to send a small team to escort them via another route to the town.

After the meal was ready, the guards set up a large table. The woman sat in the corner feeding the baby, while Ningxu and the others ate around the dining table. The guards behind them all held their own bowls and ate in groups of three or four.

Inadvertently, Ningxu glanced at the table and saw that there seemed to be one person missing...

"Where's Mo Xi?"
