After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 45 Three-win situation

A trace of disappointment flashed across Li Zhaodi's face, and she felt aggrieved, but she hid it very well, and then only agreed.

Li Xiucai saw that Li Zhaodi was timid in doing things, as if he was afraid of him. He lost his mood and waved his hand: "Let's go, don't get in the way here, I will be upset when I see you."

Aunt Hu said: "I have counted the fruits. Don't learn the bad habit of eating secretly at such a young age! You should always remember that your father is a scholar. You must not disgrace your father by doing things. face!"

The words made Li Xiucai's face light up.

Li Zhaodi came out, limped to the steps at the door of the inn, and then sat down.

Feeling a little hungry, she stared at the fruit in her hand and swallowed.

There was a bit of her blood on it and she wiped it off with her sleeve.

She looked at the people in the camp. The campfire was not extinguished. Some were just lying down on a mat in the wild with their clothes on, and some were cooking.

But not far away, I saw Xu Zhenying and Lian walking side by side.

Li Zhaodi stood up, and there was a little light in her eyes, but it quickly went out.

"Sister!" There was a crisp sound with a cheerful shout. Li Zhaodi turned around and saw his sister Yinzhang. Her sister was only 12 years old and was a little thin. Because she was the second girl, her life was worse than her. At this moment, Li Yinzhang opened his eyes. Those eyes that were as wet as a deer smiled heartily when they saw her. She took out half a piece of cold cornstarch from her arms almost like a treasure, and said happily, "Sister, what do you think this is?"

"Wotou?" Li Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, "Where did you come from?!"

Li Yinzhang laughed. Li Yinzhang was born well-behaved, with red lips and white teeth. She had been a beauty since she was a child, just like the little girl in the New Year pictures.Except for her parents who didn't like her, everyone else in Hu Nong used to like her very much. Now when she smiles, her eyes narrow into a thin line, so cute.

Li Yinzhang came closer and whispered: "Sister, this steamed bun was given by the old lady of the Fang family. She said she liked me, so she secretly gave me half a piece of steamed bun. Sister, let's eat it together!"

Li Zhaodi subconsciously touched her empty stomach, and then shook her head, "I'm not hungry. I've just eaten. Eat in a hurry."

"Sister, I have to take care of my brother and pick fruits today. It takes a lot of effort." Li Yinzhang shook his head and did not give Li Zhaodi a chance to refuse. He directly raised his hand and put the steamed bun to Li Zhaodi's mouth, and then looked at her expectantly. , "Sister, be good, take a quick bite——"

Li Zhaodi smiled helplessly, but only agreed to take a small bite.

Li Yinzhang said anxiously: "Sister, take a big bite..."

Li Zhaodi took a big bite, pushed the little bit of dough back, and gently scratched Li Yinzhang's nose, "Yinzhang will eat it too, and we sisters will eat it together!"

"Yeah! Let's eat together!"

The grievance and confusion in Li Zhaodi's heart dissipated instantly.

Captain Zhao walked slowly back to his room in the post station. This trip to Qianzhou was very cost-effective. The escorts were all exiled officials, and they were willing to spend money to take care of them. Therefore, this trip made a lot of money. I am also willing to spend more money to stay in a single room.

Bantou Zhao washed his face and lay on the bed, feeling a little sleepless. His mind kept recalling the conversation between Lian and Xu Qingying that he just heard under the tree, and then gradually figured out the taste.

Having traveled around the world for many years, Bantou Zhao was cautious, and he was also afraid that Lian and the girl from the Xu family would join forces to put on a show for him.

But it was true that the Xu family girl and the Fang family girl were quarreling at that time. He didn't want to care about the trivial matters between the girls, but he was entrusted by Xu Yinxi. Xu Yinxi was worried that the Lian family would be unfavorable to the Xu family girl, so she invited him Go check it out.

Listening to what Lian said, the Xu family was not exiled for offending Uncle Zhu Guo, but was temporarily implicated because they obeyed Uncle Zhu Guo to deal with Han Shoufu. Thinking about it this way, isn't it a certainty that the Xu family will be restored?
Moreover, he had heard from the brothers in the prison before that someone from the Lian family had come and wanted to reconcile, but he didn't know why the Lian family refused.According to this calculation, unless the Lian family knew from the beginning that this exile was only temporary.

Bantou Zhao carefully thought about whether he had offended the Xu family in the past few days. Fortunately, except for asking Huang Yazi to teach Xu Deyuan's sister-in-law a lesson on the first day, he did not do anything too outrageous.

As for what Liu Jie did, he turned a blind eye, so it can't be blamed on him.

Bantou Zhao was frightened for a while, but he still felt that it was not enough. He wanted to think more.

Now was the best opportunity to surrender. Xu Deyuan didn't know that he knew about it, so he continued to pretend not to know, and would take care of his Xu family and continue to show kindness to the Xu family. When Xu Deyuan returned to Bianjing City, this heart Isn't the big tree right next to it?

Maybe we can also get him a small official to serve as Dangdang?

The more Bantou Zhao thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

no--

Leader Zhao thought of all the things that Liu Jiejie had given him so filially, and his scalp went numb for a moment. He only hated Liu Jiejie for being so hateful that he had dragged him into trouble from the very beginning!

In two days, we must find an excuse to return those things intact!

Team leader Zhao was planning carefully, dreaming of one day returning to Bianjing City with beautiful scenery, and fell asleep without knowing it.

The next day, at dawn, Jie Chao ordered everyone to get up and go on their way.

The further south you go, the colder you feel. Just less than a hundred miles away from Bianjing City, Xu Zhenying has already clearly felt the temperature difference.

She quietly asked a few days ago that the territory of the Zhou Dynasty was not large. The entire territory map was somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty. The distance from Bianjing to Yelang was about 20 miles. According to their footsteps, 30 kilometers a day -[-] miles, it takes about three months to walk.Xu Zhenying saw that in the past two days, more and more people were binding their legs according to the method she provided, and even a few of them had their legs tied. I guess everyone couldn't bear the fatigue of traveling.

Xu Zhenying wakes up every day with hunger and muscle soreness, and then embarks on the road to exile in confusion.

It was only the sixth day, and she just felt a sour smell everywhere on her body.

It is simply unrealistic to take a bath and wash your hair. Not to mention how cold the river water is in October and it is impossible to go down into the river. Let’s just say that we have been walking along mountain roads and can’t see the river at all.

It was not a good time for the exiled prisoners to live in the inn. The inn was only willing to provide large bunks. If there were no bunks, there would only be hammocks in the backyard. 100 people were squeezed into the bunk that could only accommodate 30 people. The degree of crowding was evident.The only food provided was cold and sour rice, or gruel with wild vegetables, which was not enough to satisfy one's hunger.

As for hot water, firewood, etc., there is no such thing. Therefore, many people in the team have not bathed or changed clothes for several days in a row, and there is a strange smell when walking together.

Grandma saw Li Xiucai and Xu Deyuan arguing over the price of the donkey cart yesterday, and today she refused to sit on it again, fearing that the concubine's clever mouth would be sour and sharp, and she would be so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.

Xu Deyuan glared at Xu Zhenying bitterly and advised Huang: "Mom, I have signed all the credit documents. I have to pay within five days whether you can sit down or not. Since you have to pay, why don't you sit down? We are aboveboard. Sit down!"

Xu Zhenying also said: "Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely pay you the money as agreed within five days. Don't worry about money, just go and sit in peace -"

The more Xu Deyuan listened, the angrier he became. He felt that Xu Qingying had become more and more annoying since she was exiled. However, everything was done for the Huang family. The word filial piety was at the forefront, which made him unable to find fault with Xu Qingying.

So he asked angrily: "To put it nicely, what should I do if I can't get 20 taels of silver? Then Li Xiucai can't make trouble with me? You've embarrassed me for these 20 taels of silver!"

Xu Zhenying smiled lightly, "How could your second uncle say that? As the saying goes, filial piety comes first. In the past, my second uncle often taught us to be filial to our elders. Now my second uncle is willing to spend 20 taels of silver to rent a donkey cart for my grandmother to ride on. After a long journey, who in the team would not praise you for your filial piety? The four words "family of filial piety" refer to our Xu family!"

Xu Deyuan secretly held back a ball of fire and was so choked that he couldn't say a word. Looking at Xu Qingying's indifferent smile, he just wanted to tear her face apart.

Don't think that he doesn't know, Xu Qingying clearly did it deliberately.

She was sure that he would bear this secret loss because of his filial piety.

Looking back on these few days, Xu Qingying first broke off the engagement without permission, and then became famous in the team because of the leggings and backpack, and now she dared to use his name to borrow money. The more Xu Deyuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he only wanted to find opportunities. Xu Qingying must be disciplined and disciplined.

After being persuaded by the two men, Huang straightened her back and walked to Li Xiucai's donkey cart.Ever since the concubine knew that the Xu family took the carriage on credit, she didn't want to give the Huang family a good look, but then she thought about Li Xiucai saying that the Xu family was an official before. She finally suppressed her indifference, raised her butt, and asked Got some location.

Xu Zhenying patted Mr. Huang on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, grandma, I said five days is five days. Just wait for the good news."

"Hey..." Mrs. Huang responded, her wrinkled face finally feeling a little more relaxed, "Liu Yatou, I know you are capable, I trust you."

However, Mrs. Miao pulled Xu Qingying aside, as if she was about to speak but hesitated. Looking at the daughter in front of her who had great ideas but was becoming more and more unfamiliar, Mrs. Miao no longer knew how to communicate with her.

"Um..." Mrs. Miao coughed and lowered her voice, "Do you really have a way to help us get those things back?"

Xu Zhenying smiled, thinking about the dazed figure of Team Leader Zhao when he left yesterday. One night should be enough for Team Leader Zhao to make a choice.

"Probably. Leader Zhao is quite nice. Maybe he won't stand up for us if Liu Jiejie doesn't bully us?"

Miao's breath rose to her chest, and then she looked disappointed, "Ying'er, you... Then Bantou Zhao is the same as them, how can he stand up for our family? Not to mention the food he has eaten, what will he take? If you give us a refund, do you still expect him to pay us out of his own pocket?"

Speaking of this, Miao's tone was a little serious, "Ying'er, you were not like this before, why have you become so weird since you were exiled? Do you know that you say these empty words every day, which disturbs the hearts of the entire Xu family? , your eldest aunt is counting on your ability to help us get our things back. Do you know that if you don’t come back, we, the second room, will not be able to hold our heads up in the Xu family for the rest of our lives! Those people in the eldest room and the second room have to get this. This thing will bother us all our lives! We are all very down-to-earth in everything we do, how could you act so rashly and frivolously now!"

Xu Zhenying was stunned, but she didn't expect Miao to have so many emotions. Did she do something so outrageous?
If you think about it carefully, the parents of the original owner are both honest people. Although Xu Deyuan became prosperous and Xu Degui, his younger brother, also benefited from it, the third family never did anything to bully the people and dominate the market.

No matter what business Xu Degui does, he always pays attention to honest management and earns some hard-earned money. In recent years, Xu Deyuan's several small shops are still quite famous in Bianjing City.

Among the five children born to the Huang family, the eldest Xu Dechi liked to cheat and play tricks, the second Xu Deyuan was old-fashioned and pedantic, the third Xu Deyuan was the most honest, the fourth was taciturn, and the youngest aunt was said to be very docile.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenying became more patient. She took Miao's hand and said, "Mom, I just don't want to be too absolute. We are at a critical moment now, let alone the more than 1000 miles to Qianzhou. No matter how we go, even if we actually arrive in Qianzhou, we still face problems such as land reclamation, tax payment, and service. The people and things we will face in the future will not be as easy as in Bianjing City. Therefore, if we are still like before If we are just honest and tolerant, a place as poor as Qianzhou will probably eat us to the bone."

Miao felt a little hesitant for a moment when she said this. Of course she had thought about these things, but she subconsciously felt that with so many men in the family, it was not her turn to worry about a woman's family. The whole family was here, so what was the problem? Can’t survive?

"So..." Xu Zhenying continued seductively, "Urgent moments require extraordinary measures. Mom, you don't need to care about the process. As long as I don't hurt anyone and I can get things done, that's it, right?"

Miao's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Obviously, what Xu Zhenying said was completely contrary to her preparation for life. After thinking about it, she always felt that it was inappropriate, but she couldn't find the words to refute, "Then... if we can't get it, 20 taels, doesn’t that mean you deceived Li Xiucai?”

"As long as we find a way to get our luggage, it will be fine. In this way, grandma got on the donkey cart in advance, Li Xiucai also got his 20 taels, and we also got our own luggage. Isn't it a win-win situation? ?”

"But if you can't get it, wouldn't it be..." Miao thought seriously, "Li Xiucai is the only one who suffers the loss? How can that be done-"

Miao shook her head quickly. Even if she felt that Li Xiucai was not a good person, it was not an excuse for them to take advantage of him.

"So now I have to find a way to achieve a win-win situation." Xu Zhenying saw that Miao was still frowning, so she had to give up, "Don't worry, mother, just watch, in two days, Team Leader Zhao will definitely The things Liu Jie stole will be returned to us intact!"
