On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 349 Flow
The brother and sister, who had never worried about food, looked at each other speechlessly.

In the end, it was Mrs. Li who spoke first: "Brother, we have to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Governor Chen was not willing to take care of these trivial matters, and said simply: "That's okay, you can just discuss it with your sister-in-law."

Mrs. Li could only go to her sister-in-law.

"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure?" Mrs. Chen was unhappy when she heard what she said. After thinking about it, she agreed with a smile: "You are right. We are sitting on nothing now, so we must be more frugal."

"We can set an example. From now on, we can just have two dishes and one soup for every meal."

"Aunts, reduce one dish, and the servants can only eat one bowl per meal. What do you think?"

Mrs. Li finally understood that her sister-in-law wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass the goblins, but was unwilling to come forward in person, so now she was killing someone with a borrowed knife.

But this is Li Mansion, her natal family.

Even sometimes, she would complain in her heart that her eldest brother would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason and would do nothing good when he came to visit. Either he asked her to help, or she wanted her husband to accompany him to socialize and support him.

She will also complain that her sister-in-law is too calculating and has too many little thoughts of her own.

But now that they were on the same ship, she still wanted to be in the same boat.

Therefore, I can only advise her: "We still have to rely on guards to protect us. Guards are just like aunts, right? They all have food and soup to feed them. What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Chen is particularly easy to talk to at this moment: "You are still thoughtful and I will listen to you."

She knew very well what kind of person she was sleeping with, and she was completely obedient to those young beauties when she doted on them.

But if you don't like something, just throw it aside and ignore it.

When she was young, she would still be jealous of this, but now she has long since looked away. As long as her sons' status is stable, she will treat them as playthings.

But this does not mean that Mrs. Chen is willing to tolerate them.

Now that I have the opportunity, of course I want to deal with them.

Mrs. Chen added: "We have almost eaten all the chickens and ducks on Zhuangzi. From now on, there will be no more than two chickens or ducks every day, and we will rotate them."

Even if they fled to Zhuangzi, the aunts would still have three dishes and one soup.

Fortunately, there were a lot of chickens and ducks in the village, but she didn't forget that Aunt Xie's eldest brother died mysteriously. Aunt Xie pretended to be sick, and the people around her went to the kitchen and asked for gold and silver hoofs. .

That is ham stewed elbow.

The kitchen didn't dare to act rashly and went to ask the steward. The steward went to ask Governor Chen. She happened to be there at the time and heard her husband agree immediately. He also said that Aunt Xie liked chicken soup and asked the kitchen to kill another chicken.

Mrs. Chen almost couldn't help scolding her.

Now the more she thinks about it, the more she thinks Mrs. Li's idea is a good one.

When it was time for lunch, the Chen family's masters had meat slices fried with celery, braised duck, and mushroom and chicken soup. The taste was pretty good, and it didn't make the masters unable to eat.

But the food for the aunts only consisted of a bowl of cabbage soup, a plate of shredded pork and fried celery, and a bowl of rice.

The first time Aunt Xie saw the food, she said to the maid: "That's wrong, why did you deliver your food to my table?"

The maid almost cried when she thought that she had only received half a bowl of rice and a spoonful of cabbage: "Auntie, the kitchen said that too much rice and noodles were consumed. Before we bought food, we had been eating like this for the past two months. "

After a few bites, Aunt Xie couldn't eat anymore, so she waved her hand to the maid to take it down.

The maid was overjoyed: Now she can be full and can eat well.

This is the advantage of serving at the master's side, being able to eat the leftovers of their meals.

After eating for three days in a row, Aunt Xie saw the bowl of battered noodles brought to her, and she could no longer hold back her anger: "Is this what's left in the morning? How dare you bring it to me?" She said After saying that, he got up and went to find Governor Chen.

At this moment, Governor Chen was drinking with his son. Seeing Auntie Xie rushing in, he felt uncomfortable. After hearing her complaint, he sneered: "You are picky about food, what do you think you are? If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Come on, get out of here!”

He is a face-saving person. Auntie Xie complained to herself that the kitchen was messing with her diet. This was not a disguised way of saying that she was useless and could no longer even support her own woman.

Can he not be angry?

Aunt Xie had only been serving Governor Chen for half a year. She had always been doted on by him, and she thought she was indeed different in his heart.

Only now do I realize that I think too highly of myself.

Aunt Xie suddenly thought of what the lady had said before: Use sex to serve others, but when sex fades, you will love Chi.

At that time, she felt that Madam could not bear to eat grapes and say sour things.

Only now do I know that Madam is telling the truth.

Aunt Xie could only let Governor Chen scold her, and waited until he told her to leave in disgust before she dared to retreat.

Who knows that she was given to Governor Chen by her eldest brother? There was no concubine document at all. She was said to be a concubine. He only asked his servants to call her like this when he liked her.

But now that he is not dissatisfied with himself, Aunt Xie is worried that her life will be difficult in the future.

She stood at the door, wanting to wait for the adults to come out before she apologized for being careless.

The boy guarding the door didn't hear clearly outside. He thought Aunt Xie was also kicked out and made to stand, so he didn't dare to chase her away.

I'm afraid that I'll offend her, and if I turn a deaf ear to the adults one day, I won't be able to eat and walk away.

Aunt Xie was leaning against the door and could hear what the father and son were saying inside.

Chen Dalang advised his father: "Chiang's side has a lot of food. I heard that he also stocked up on a lot of medicinal materials and supplements."

"Dad, you also know that he is very lustful. Dad, please choose two aunts to send over, and we can exchange for a lot of good things."

Over the years, Governor Chen was accustomed to taking supplements such as ginseng and deer antler, but he was in a hurry when he escaped, so he didn't take many of these supplements with him. When he was still escaping from the city, he lost some in the fight.

Now Governor Chen asked his son and nephew to look around for food and medicinal materials, and buy some even at high prices.

Only when you have food in hand can you not panic in your heart.

Governor Chen was still a little hesitant: "If I give my woman away, if people find out, I'm afraid they will laugh at me."

"Dad, this is for my aunt. This is an elegant thing..."

After Chen Dalang spent some words, he persuaded Governor Chen.

"Okay, take Xie Yun and Liu Qian away tomorrow." After Governor Chen finished speaking, he didn't forget to add: "Take them away quietly, just ask them to follow you out to do some errands, so as not to cry." Get up, the noise gives me a headache..."

Aunt Xie only hated that her ears were too pointed. In the surprised eyes of the young man, she left in despair.

I accidentally came to the hillside and looked at the lake below. As long as I closed my eyes and jumped down, it would be peaceful.

But she still took back her stepped foot.

At this moment, she suddenly realized.

If you are not even afraid of death, then what else is there to be afraid of?
If the Chen family doesn't treat her as a human being, then she will make the Chen family pay the price.

Anyway, she has nothing left except her own life.
