Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Chapter 35: I didn’t bring them any food. Did they starve to death?

The four siblings nodded listlessly.

Shen Lanxi: "Instead of sitting here in a daze, why don't you go check to see if there are any treasures hidden in the bandit's den, or see if there are any food or clothes you need on the road, or things that can be exchanged for money."

Shen Yuanjing and his three siblings suddenly became enlightened.

"Big...Brother, you should have a good rest. We are going to look for something!"

Shen Lanxi nodded and watched them leave!

When Chunxue and Qiushuang saw her wake up, they went to prepare food.

Their young master doesn't want to eat from the same big pot!

Mother Li is a great cook. She cooks braised lamb, crispy bamboo shoots, stewed chicken with sausage, sweet and sour spare ribs, assorted vegetables, a bowl of fish ball soup, and a small bowl of crystal clear pearl rice.

We slept in the open air during the whole journey, and this meal was the best!

After a day's sleep, she was indeed hungry. Just as she picked up her chopsticks and took two bites, she heard a low cry from the side.

"Master, you have been wronged. In the past, these simple meals would not be worthy of being served on your table!"

The ribs in Shen Lanxi's mouth were in a dilemma. She couldn't swallow them, and she couldn't not swallow them!

Did she have so many second-generation rich people before?

If this doesn't fit her table, then what does? Dragon meat and phoenix meat?

Don’t you see what kind of family it is now?

"Chunxue Qiushuang, do you want to have dinner with me or eat on your own?"

Qiu Shuang and Chun Xue didn't dare to have dinner with the young master.

"Sir, Madam Li left some food for us!"

Shen Lanxi: "Then go eat. Your Master doesn't like being watched while eating!"

"You can share the sausage stewed chicken and braised lamb with Mama Li's family!"

"The slaves dare not!"

Habits cultivated since childhood cannot be changed overnight. She did not want to change them. After all, this was the era of imperial power, and this was the operating mechanism. She came back here not to overthrow the imperial power and promote equality.

"I just woke up, so I shouldn't eat anything too greasy. The mutton smells too strong, take it away!"

Chunxue and Qiushuang quickly took the mutton and went to eat.

This small courtyard is quiet. Shen Lanxi was eating while thinking about what to do next.

Liu Yanhui had just brought some food and drinks to his mother and sister. He wanted to see if Shen Lanxi had woken up, but unexpectedly he saw her eating!

He straightened his already washed brocade clothes, looked down at his spotless brocade boots, and then straightened his hair crown before walking over respectfully.

"The young master is awake."

Shen Lanxi had known that he was coming, but she had never exposed him. When she heard the voice and looked over, she thought he was just a swaggering peacock!

"Have you had dinner?" she asked casually.

Liu Yan turned around with a somewhat embarrassed face. Seeing the young master eating, he should have avoided him.

If he wants to eat, it's not time to eat yet~

What if he said he had eaten it and the young master thought he was a person who was sweet-talking but not sincere?

"No!" He answered honestly.

Shen Lanxi: "Go and see if Liu Lao Hu is busy. If not, ask him to come over and have dinner with you!"

Liu Yan understood and immediately treated this matter as a mission and went to do it!

Soon Liu Lao Hu arrived. Without Shen Lanxi saying anything, Liu Yanhui went to ask Mother Li for bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing that there were guests at the banquet, Mother Li added a large plate of scrambled eggs and two large bowls of brown rice.

There are only two bowls of fine rice, one for the young master, and the other is reserved for him as a spare.

Looking at the exquisitely presented food, Liu Lao Hu was so hesitant that he couldn't even use chopsticks.

Liu Yanhui had been refined twice before, so now she was much more natural, at least more natural than Liu Lao Hu.

While eating, Shen Lanxi discussed the next matters in a negotiating tone.

"I suggest taking away everything that can be taken away, and burning everything that cannot be taken away!"

Liu Yan nodded: "There are so many refugees now, and there may be some who will go into the mountains like us. We can't leave them with the conditions to become bandits!"

Liu Lao Hu: "Yeah, that makes sense!"

Shen Lanxi twitched the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, she asked Liu Lao Hu to come over to listen, not to follow his decision. Otherwise, she would have been choked to death by the word "makes sense"!

"Black Wind Village has enough carriages, we'd better make use of them."

Liu Yan replied: "The situation outside is changing rapidly. I don't know if we will encounter refugees. I suggest that we all take a carriage."

Liu Lao Hu nodded: "That makes sense!"

Shen Lanxi: "Rest one more night tonight. Tomorrow we will organize the prisoners to boil water, load all the necessary things, and prepare three days of dry food that can be stored and not easily spoiled."

Liu Yan nodded to Liu Lao Hu.

The meal was finished unknowingly, and Liu Lao Hu and Liu Yanhui left one after another!

After dark, Shen Yuanjing came over secretly.

“Big sister, grandma forced father to ask you for food and money, and I lied to them and said you were injured, so I got nothing!”

Shen Lanxi smiled: "I remember, have you eaten?"

Shen Yuanjing immediately smiled slyly: "I have eaten, I ate with the yamen runners, rice and meat and vegetables, the rice is enough to fill me up!"

That’s normal. The yamen runners were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to take the food away, so they kept producing as much as they could!

"Big sister, you don't know that grandparents, uncles, aunts, and two aunts are so angry that they are going to die. There are also two aunts and their children. They still have the nerve to ask us to bring them food. Even if the yamen runners don't stop us, I won't bring them food!"

Shen Yuanjing unconsciously revealed his lively personality.

Shen Lanxi: "That's how it should be. If you don't want to fight for it yourself, and you get it, they will cling to you and ask for it. Why? You don't owe them anything!"

Shen Yuanjing's eyes flashed: "Big sister, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

The fact that he can still say such things shows that the beatings life has dealt him are still not enough!

"You didn't bring them food. Did they starve to death?" she asked.

Shen Yuanjing's eyes darkened: "They bought it with their own money!"

She continued to ask: "Did the yamen runners give them free steamed bread?"

"Give it to me!" He saw with his own eyes that they threw the dry and hard steamed bread aside.

"Yuan Jing~! You have to know that they can live well without you! If you don't miss them, you will live a better life!"

Shen Yuanjing: “…”

"Go back and think carefully about what I said!"

Shen Yuanjing went back as if in a dream.

The next day, none of the four siblings of the Shen family went to pay their respects to their grandparents. They had a very good reason: they had to work for the yamen runners, and if they behaved well, the runners would give the Shen family preferential treatment!

No one in the Shen family could find fault with this reason!

Four siblings working

"Brother, I feel much better now that I don't have to pay respects to my grandparents!"

"Me too. Every time I go to pay my respects to my grandparents, I have to offer them tea, massage their shoulders and legs. It's like being exiled. There's not only no less to do when paying my respects, but there's more!"

"Okay, if you don't want to go in the future, we won't go. These past few days, only a few of us have been showing filial piety, it's time for others to show filial piety!"
