"Lan Xi, the journey is long and winding, so you must save some money!" The Shen family has fallen into such a state. His daughter must not have brought much money with her when she left the palace. After Shen Congwen spent one or two taels of silver to buy a bag of water yesterday, he deeply realized that a penny can make a hero fall!
Such words should have been said by his wife. Now that his wife is sick, his daughter has been living a life of luxury at home and has never had to take care of the household chores. He is worried that if his daughter continues to spend money lavishly as before, with such a large family in the Shen family, the money his daughter has might not be enough.
Shen Lanxi understood what her father meant.
"Father, I bought a lot of fashionable goods from the capital this time. I should be able to sell them for a lot of money when I get to the next town. I plan to buy a batch of goods every time I go to a place, and then take them to the next place to sell, so that I can increase my income!"
Shen Congwen heard from his daughter's words that she had some money, but not much. She had to do some small business to ensure her future life!
"I will punish your grandmother and the others. Go now. The bailiffs have looked over here several times!" Shen Congwen said with a worried look on his face.
Shen Lanxi nodded, turned and left.
Shen Congwen immediately began to scold his children: "In the future, you must always remember the kindness of your elder sister. Your elder sister used to be such a proud person, but now she has compromised to take care of us..."
Shen Lanxi walked up to Liu Lao Hu and saluted: "Brother Liu, is it time to set off?"
Liu Lao Hu thought to himself, if your eldest son hadn't gone to deliver the meal, we would have set off long ago.
"Yes, it's time to go!"
After he finished talking to Shen Lanxi, he immediately scolded the yamen runners and left. While Shen Lanxi was walking away, he secretly looked back. Until now, he still couldn't imagine what it would look like for a frail and elegant young man to kill people with a bloody stick.
Thinking of the scene last night, Liu Lao Hu shuddered and quickly whipped the criminals to drive them away.
Because of the beating in the morning, the woman ran to Shen Yuantang and kowtowed to ask for food. Shen Yuantang did not give her any, which made the woman throw a tantrum and curse. Shen Yuantang was so angry that he cried.
After finally getting the woman away, she was knocked to the ground by a child who appeared out of nowhere. She sprained her foot and bruised her palm. The three brothers from the eldest wife's side had to take turns carrying her.
The men in other rooms were unhappy. With fewer people taking turns carrying the old man and the old lady, they had to carry them for longer periods of time. If it weren't for Shen Lanxi, they would have quit long ago.
"Miss, there is a village ahead!" Chunxue reported.
Shen Lanxi lifted the curtain of the car and looked into the distance. Smoke was rising from the village. It was a village with people living in it!
"Go to the village later and exchange some for use on the road!"
"Yes!"
The entrance to the village was guarded, and the exiled prisoners could not enter the village. It was still early, and Liu Lao Hu planned to ask for some water to drink, get some food, and continue on his way!
Shen Lanxi and the others were also stopped. A dark-faced man looked at them warily.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"
Haruyuki: "Brother, we are merchants, transporting some rare goods to the big town to sell. We passed by here and wanted to exchange for some food and daily necessities!"
The dark-faced man relaxed his guard when he saw that Chunxue spoke politely and was a little girl.
"As long as you are not refugees from the north, what do you have in your car?"
Shen Lanxi always remembered every piece of information revealed to her during her coma, including the severe drought in the north.
Before Chunxue could speak, Shen Lanxi said, "Silk, porcelain, and rouge and powder, does Big Brother need anything?"
There was a flash of disdain in the black-faced man's eyes. Who would want that thing when he could barely afford to eat?
"If there's nothing you need, we can just buy it with money!"
The black-faced man shouted towards the village, and someone came to take his place and guard it.
"Are you going to have someone go with me to buy it, or are you all going together?"
Shen Lanxi: "Chunxue, ask Mother Li and her son to come with you!"
"Yes!"
They were heading north all the way, and they had to inform Liu Lao Hu about the refugees!
"Brother Liu, I heard a piece of news from the villagers!"
Liu Lao Hu also heard about it.
"The road to the north is probably not easy to travel!"
Shen Lanxi looked at the road ahead: "We must prepare early!"
Since Shen Lanxi got the news and came to remind him, it was a give and take, so he also reminded her.
"Your horse-drawn carriage and ox-drawn cart are too conspicuous!"
Shen Lanxi smiled: "Thank you Brother Liu for the reminder!"
If the speed of the horse-drawn carriage is in danger, you can run faster and the ox-drawn cart must be replaced!
Chunxue and Li's mother bought a lot of eggs, dried vegetables, and dried meat from the village. They also bought a few live chickens and ducks, and pickled foods. Everyone was loaded with things, and they filled all the water bags in the car with water before setting off.
The exile team had already walked five or six hundred meters.
"Master, I have bought the household registration you asked me to buy!" As soon as they walked out of the village, Chunxue immediately took out the things in her arms and handed them to Shen Lanxi.
There are seven in total, one for her, one for each of the two maids, and the remaining four are for the four adults in Li Mama's family. The two children are too young to be registered!
"Send it to others!" She took out her own. In order to make it easier on the road in the future, Chunxue Qiushuang would change into men's clothes from today on, and the household registration she bought would also be a man's!
The next stop is Nancheng, a relatively large town nearby, and we are expected to arrive there tomorrow afternoon.
The road was getting hotter and hotter, and more and more people came. Many people rode mule carts with their families towards the capital.
Even if no one told the news, the exiled prisoners could tell that something was wrong.
"Everyone is heading to the capital, but we are heading north. Is there something wrong in the north?"
"I don't know. When we stop to rest later, I'll find a chance to ask passers-by."
So many people were heading in the same direction, but they were going in opposite directions, which made them panic!
"Master, something doesn't look right. Do you want to ask the young master?" The old servant of the Shen family stepped forward and asked.
Shen Congwen thought of a possibility: was there a war in the north?
"If there is something wrong, the yamen runners will definitely be notified. Don't ask the young master first." It costs money to ask the yamen runners to pass on the message.
The old servant of the Shen family looked at the people who looked like they were fleeing famine with worry, and said hesitantly: "Master, they look like people fleeing famine!"
Shen Yuanjing was currently carrying his mother on his back and walking was very difficult.
"No way, I haven't heard of any disasters anywhere?"
Shen Yuanjun: "Yes, housekeeper, are you overthinking it?"
Just as the butler was about to speak, the sound of a whip was heard.
"Go quickly! If you keep talking, you'll be whipped!"
At first the prisoners were just suspicious, but then one of them couldn't help but pay for water, but the yamen runners refused to sell it to them!
The prisoners really started to panic!
"We can't go any further. There's a severe drought ahead. If we continue, we'll all die!"
