Chapter 18
Xia Jing lay on the couch of the carriage, and waited for her body to recover before she got up and got out of the carriage.
This body gave birth to a child in her teens. Although there is no shortage of food and drink in the backyard of the palace, it lacks exercise. It really cannot be transformed by Xia Jing in a few days.
After getting off the carriage, Xia Jing found that the road stretched for more than ten miles, and there were motorcades and guards of various families on the side of the road.
Refugees passing by scattered or in groups on the post road, seeing the endless convoys and fierce guards, how dare such a big battle stay here, and move forward tremblingly, wishing to grow scuds , the farther away from these noble and rich people, the better.
Seeing that the team's carriages are rich in supplies, but they have no ability to grab them, they can only envy and envy them in their hearts.
Hongmei took down the basket hanging outside the carriage, took out a few small stools from the basket, turned the basket upside down on the ground, and turned it into a simple temporary coffee table.
Put two teacups on it, pour the brewed tea, and then invite Wangfei and Fifth Lord to sit down.
It was the first time in Li Chengmu's life that he sat on such a short stool, and he found it very novel to sit on it, and seeing that many guards beside him were sitting on the ground, he suddenly felt superior.
"Mother Concubine, you are still thoughtful. If anyone in the mansion would have thought that this kind of stool would have such a use. I heard from the housekeeper that this kind of stool is only used by the servants in the mansion to do laundry and choose vegetables. "
Xia Jing looked leisurely, took a small sip of tea, and looked up at the wilting leaves above her head. If she didn't encounter a disaster year when she came here, life here should be very comfortable.
Under a big tree not far away, a blanket was spread on the ground, and the second and fourth masters of the palace were sitting cross-legged under the tree, drinking water and eating dry food.
Although they are called Xia Jing's mother and concubine, they are separated by a floor after all, so they don't come close to Xia Jing like Xiao Wu.
But they could see the situation on this side clearly, and their legs would become numb after being crossed for a long time. Li Chengshang glanced at the baskets hanging outside the carriage, and glanced at the big housekeeper.
Zeng Yanzheng listened to his subordinates coming to report the situation, and noticed the uncle's glance over his eyes, with a dazed expression on his face.
Afterwards, following the gaze of the other two masters, he discovered the magical effect of the small stool, and immediately arranged for a servant to take down the baskets hanging on the carriage, and personally sent a few small stools over.
Xiaowu Li Chengmu saw the situation over there, secretly proud of himself, Xia Jing couldn't see the expression of being careless.
She turned her head and told the maid: "Go and take the food box out of the carriage."
"Princess, do you want to bring them all down?" Hongmei asked.
"Well, these foods are not put away, you go and send some to the boss, the second and the fourth."
It is summer, and the weather is gradually warming up. Coupled with the drought, the temperature will only be higher than that of the same period in previous years.
If the food made in the morning is not eaten during the day, 100% of it will go rancid if left overnight!
Li Chengmu leaned lazily on the trunk of the tree, stretching his two long legs forward, only then did he feel that his long legs, which had been suffocated for a long time, stretched.
He watched the guards not far away scrambling for the remaining stools, and with a smile on his lips, he tilted his head and asked, "Concubine Mu, how do you know that the stools have such a magical effect?"
Xia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly. From her memory, she knew that the original owner's life was not rich when she was a child, "Before I met your father, I had to work since I was a child, washing and cooking, choosing vegetables and lighting fires. grew up with me."
As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her eyebrows at him sideways: "Tell me, am I familiar with it?"
Li Chengmu blinked: "."
To be honest, he only heard that the concubine mother grew up in the countryside, but he didn't know exactly what happened.
Facing her son's sympathetic eyes, Xia Jing just smiled indifferently. She was originally from a low family background. As for how she married Prince Qian as his second concubine, it has always been a mystery. She only knew that Prince Qian had a quarrel with the current old emperor at that time. After leaving the palace, she sent the nurse in charge to Yuanshen's home to propose marriage.
Ordinarily, Yuanshen's family background was only suitable for King Qian to be a foot-washing maid, but for some unknown reason, King Qian gave up the noble daughter of the capital's aristocratic family, and chose Yuanshen who grew up in the countryside.
Of course, to be able to fall into King Qian's eyes, the original body's appearance must not be bad, but I don't know when he fell into King Qian's eyes.
Thinking of this, Xia Jing remembered her relatives in her original body. Because she had just crossed over to flee famine this time, she couldn't take care of many things. She forgot to notify them for a while, and she didn't know what happened to them?
After eating and drinking enough, everyone sat under the big tree, and there was a breeze blowing from time to time, which took away the heat caused by the rush. If it weren't for the haggard and numb refugees passing by on the post road from time to time, and the surrounding plants were withered and yellow.
In this situation, it is easy for people to misunderstand which young lady from a wealthy family is here for an outing.
Different from the coziness of the people beside the post road at the foot of the mountain, there is also a team moving quickly in the dense forest on the mountain at this time.
Walking in the dense forest, although there is no scorching sun, but the dense forest is airtight, coupled with the dry weather, it is really sweltering.
The man walking in the front was panting heavily, raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed down, cutting off the branches blocking the way, clearing the way ahead, and then he stopped.
With the big knife stuck on the ground, he tore at the hem of his clothes, wiped his face a few times indiscriminately, and wiped off the sweat on his face, then turned around and said to a big man who was following him: "Brother, let's rest here Take a break, it's too strenuous to travel all the way through the mountains!"
The man known as the big brother looked around. The brothers were sweating all over, and they were all panting heavily from exhaustion. They really should take a break to let everyone recover their strength.
He shouted to the brothers in front who were still clearing the roadblock: "Brothers, don't cut it down, everyone clean up and rest on the spot!"
As soon as the brothers around heard that they could rest, they didn't care about being particular. Those who were tired directly sat down on the ground, and those who had a little strength went to the team behind and loudly conveyed the command of the eldest brother to rest on the spot.
Careful people will find that the leaves of the forest in the distance are trembling with the sound of the order.
It can be seen that the size of the team in the mountains is really not small!
The funeral procession of Prince Qian's Mansion, who had encountered bandits a few days ago, would have been recognized if they were here. They were the bandits who robbed them a few days ago.
If you want to ask them to stay in the mountains and dominate the king, why did they follow the trend and play famine?
The country is broken!
Not only towns and villages are affected, but also bandits hidden in the mountains.
How can there be eggs under the overturned nest!
Bandits are also mortal, and they are also afraid that after Beidi soldiers and horses occupy the capital, when they recover, these foreigners will come to clean them up.
In the past, when they went down the mountain to rob, they lived a happy life under the rule of the old emperor Huiyuan. For the sake of a "happy" life in the future, of course they have to flee south with the old emperor!
Moreover, on the way to flee south, if they rob a few more caravans by the way, their life in the south will be more secure in the future.
With money to open the way, local bandits, water bandits and other local snakes in the south will also show them favor for the sake of money.
Once they gain a firm foothold, everything will be easy to talk about in the future.
