Chapter 36 Inviting Pets?
As she finished speaking, there was the sound of porcelain shattering from the wall of Wang Jia's car. After a while, Anu lifted the curtain of the car and came out with a bitter face, holding a broken teacup in one hand.

Xia Jing gave him a helpless look, and then walked away. She was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would be so angry that King Qian would really chop her with an eight-meter-long sword.

With the established route, the chief guard and Zeng Yan have a firm mind, and they will be more organized in arranging things.

We passed several villages on the way, which were unsurprisingly deserted.

The only surprise was that there was water in the wells in the village. This discovery lifted the spirits of the team, and everyone seemed to have seen the end of the drought.

"Mother and Concubine, we passed by a few villages. Why is there water in the wells in the villages, but the whole village is empty? Where are the villagers in these villages?"

At night, the team was placed in a village, and Li Chengmu sat in a dilapidated low house and asked Xia Jing.

Xia Jing took a bite of the multigrain pancake. After listening to her son's question, she didn't think her son was stupid. She waited until she swallowed it down before answering patiently: "We walked all the way, you should have seen a lot of refugees. Just imagine, if you are hungry A refugee whose eyes are blackened suddenly saw this village, what would you do?"

"This"

Where did Li Chengmu suffer when he was born in the palace, and the only time he has suffered since he was a child is probably his escape.In the past, even the servants below would not eat such multigrain cakes in the Wangfu.

Because he fled the capital in a hurry and encountered bandits on the road, he lost more than half of his supplies, so he was naturally more frugal in life than before.

He pondered for a long time before he hesitated to express his thoughts, "When I am hungry and thirsty, I may rush into the village to find food, and when I am full, I will reward some money."

"Pfft!"

After hearing what he said, the girl Baimei couldn't help but laugh first.

Li Chengmu turned his head and asked her, "Why are you laughing? Could it be that the answer is wrong?"

Xia Jing smiled lightly, but did not stop the maid from speaking.

Baimei brightened the oil lamp a bit, put down the scissors and replied with a smile, "Once you hear Fifth Master's words, you will know that you are a person who has never suffered. You think of human nature too kindly."

"Really?" Li Chengmu was obviously unconvinced, "If it's the master, he will definitely give a reward if he eats the food from the villagers. This is the principle that the master has always been a man."

Baimei nodded her head, "Yeah, the character of those refugees can't be compared with my master's. But I have experienced fleeing when I was a child, and I know how terrible the refugees are. The hungry and crazy refugees are like jackals descending from the mountain. In the village, they don’t talk about humility and courtesy like Lord Wu, they just want to take everything they can eat and use for themselves! Burning, killing, and looting are very common.”

"Then" Li Chengmu's experience is limited, he has never really seen the suffering in the world, and he can't imagine this kind of picture in his mind, "then the refugees we met along the way are not as terrible as you said?"

Along the way, the refugees in Li Chengmu's eyes were pitiful, but he had never seen a fierce side. Even in the scuffle that night, he was well protected and did not directly confront the refugees.

Everything that happened that night was just a few words heard from others.

After hearing what he said, Xia Jing shook her head, "How much darkness have you seen in the world when you were young? The refugee didn't show a fierce and aggressive side in front of you, because we have enough force to suppress it. If you change your identity, you will be an ordinary person." Let the common people see, as long as you show a steamed bun or a pancake in front of them, do you believe it is possible for them to rush over and eat you as a pancake?"

Li Chengmu shivered all over, scratched his nose embarrassingly, "Mother, I believe it."

Xia Jing warned: "Well, don't think too much of people's hearts, but don't think too bad of people's hearts! When you make friends in trouble, you should watch more, listen more, and talk less. You should leave three points for yourself when you talk and do things, and don't be a little bit right by others. Take care of yourself, and you will reveal your old bottom to the bottom of your heart and soul."

"Oh, I see." Li Chengmu frowned, as if digesting Xia Jing's warning just now.

Xia Jing ignored him and began to eat seriously.

Seeing Xia Jing eating seriously, Hongmei glanced at the simple food on the table, feeling distressed.

She comforted: "The further south you go, the water source should be more abundant. Now I have found that the wells in the two villages have water. After a while, you should be able to eat green vegetables. You can persist for a few more days."

"Well, I'm not picky when it comes to food."

After dinner, Li Chengmu went back to rest first, and Hongmei came in with tea, "Princess, it's still early, and I finally found a village with well water to rest, would you like to invite the prince to come and accompany you. Well, Appreciate the moon?"

Xia Jing raised her eyes to look at the moonless night outside, and said with a half-smile: "Hehe, my concubine is not as elegant as you."

Hongmei smiled apologetically, "Hehe, elegance is cultivated, and elegance depends on who you are with. With the prince accompanying the princess, you will definitely have elegance."

"It seems that you know me better than this concubine." Xia Jing shook her head helplessly. This girl is not very old, but she is playing the heart of an old woman.

Hongmei poured good tea and stood up joyfully, "The servant girl, go and invite the prince over."

"Sit down!" Xia Jing was funny and angry, why is this girl always thinking about how to invite pets for herself?

"Princess." Hongmei sat down reluctantly.

"Anyone with him tonight?"

"Ah."

"Who is it? Mrs. Sun or Mrs. Wang? Or which maidservant?"

Hongmei looked at Xia Jing Bafeng curiously, "Princess, are you not angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Xia Jing touched her pretty face, "You don't know how easy it is to get old when you are angry? So in order to maintain your appearance, your master, I will not make things difficult for me."

"It's Aunt Sun." Hongmei lifted the teapot to pour tea for her in frustration.

"It's her." Xia Jing felt that this person was Xiaoqiang, "Her face has gone down swelling?"

"Even if her face hasn't fully recovered, just put on more powder."

These words almost made Xia Jing choke, "Ahem, you girl is telling the truth. Go and see if Baimei's water is boiled, my concubine is going to take a bath."

After Xia Jing took a bath, she dragged her tired body and just lay on the bed when Baimei came in to report, "Princess, Marquis Changping is here."

"Marquis Changping?" Xia Jing sat up and looked at the sky outside, "It's so late, why didn't I hear the sound of horseshoes?"

Marquis Changping certainly did not come alone. A family came here, and the number of horses alone was quite considerable. Even if so many horses went outside the village, they could still hear their noises.

"It's the messenger of the Marquis of Changping. The army of the Marquis of Changping's mansion is still ten miles away. Princess, do you want to get up?"

Xia Jingjin pulled her shoes out of bed, "It's better to get up, my in-laws always come to greet me when they visit late at night."

Hearing the words, the two servant girls hurriedly looked for clothes and jewelry to wear when going out to entertain guests.
