Chapter 510
"Speaking of which, God really gave me a special gift. Not only did I meet Yu Sheng, but he didn't dislike me as a widow and married me, and even gave me a child. Many imperial physicians said that I would never be able to have another child. You've even seen it yourself, haven't you?"

"Well, you were hurt by that bitch Qiangwei that day. In addition, you had some aftereffects from eating saffron before. Afterwards, you had a miscarriage and your body was extremely weak. It is difficult, or almost impossible to conceive again. How could that be? ?”

"Let's just say my luck is good. After leaving Chang'an City, I hired a carriage and met a beggar woman on the way. I saw her pitifully and asked where she was going, and I took her for a ride. It turned out that she was not a beggar. It's a doctor. I told her that I couldn't get pregnant. She gave me a pulse and didn't know what medicine I took. Then I met Yu Sheng, and I told Yu Sheng that I couldn't get pregnant. Yes, now that I think about it, I thought that woman was so crazy that she didn't believe her words, but she really didn't lie to me."

Meng Baiyun smiled and said: "Isn't it so called that people should not be judged by their appearance, but Aoxue... no, Mrs. Yu, I am really happy to see you doing well."

"What about you, where are Aohan and Auntie?"

"I'm fine. My mother has gone to an old friend's place. As for Ao Han... Hehe, he's fine too. He's gone out to play. I'm going to meet him."

She had such a good life, Meng Baiyun couldn't bear to let her worry about it, so he lied.

Long Aoxue looked relieved: "It's good, it's good, it's good, then I can feel relieved, I miss you all the time, but I never dare to ask you, I'm afraid that I will know my identity for the rest of my life."

"Since he can accept your sterile widow status, why are you afraid that he will know who you are?"

"Some identities are too heavy for the Yu family, and I have been with that person. This is something that I feel ashamed when I think about it in my life. I also want to change my identity and start over."

"I know."

In fact, for Long Aoxue, cutting off everything and starting over can reap today's happiness, which is quite good.

The two chatted for a while, and a servant brought tea in. Not long after, Boss Yu also came back.

Meng Baiyun didn't want to stay for a long time, so he pretended that he came to buy silk cloth, bought a few bolts of high-quality silver silk and left.

When I arrived at the inn, I felt relieved when I thought of Long Aoxue.

Caressing those two horses of silver silk silk dyed maroon, she looked at Fu Rong with a faint smile: "Fu Rong, look how happy Sister Aoxue is now."

"Yes, ma'am, Princess Jin is doing well now."

"She is no longer Princess Jin, and she will be Mrs. Yu Li Xi'er from now on. Don't tell anyone what happened to her today."

"My servant knows, Madam, you don't want to disturb her life."

"Well, I've lived in this small town for a while, let's set off tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am."

*
In the early morning of the next day, through the morning mist, Meng Baiyun's carriage left this quiet, serene, bookish town.

All the way north, stop and go, half a month later, I arrived in Jinzhou.

Golden State hasn't changed much from a few years ago.

There was an air of savagery in the city.

At the junction of the two countries, years of battles have left the city riddled with holes.

There are bandits entrenched in the surrounding hills, which makes passing caravans afraid to come to this place to do business.

This place is getting more and more backward, even the plaque of the government yamen is dilapidated and hangs precariously at the door, and the sheepskin of the big drum for grievances at the door has long been damaged, and the drum is also covered with thick dust.

Going to the city can only be described in terms of depression and decline.

A few years ago, the two countries fought. The war continued here, and the people fled one after another, leaving only piles of empty houses.

There are a few ragged people sitting at the door of several dilapidated houses, dozing off, chatting and chatting.

When they saw Meng Baiyun's carriage, their eyes lit up and they all surrounded him.

"Miss, please give me a stutter."

Meng Baiyun asked Fu Rong to distribute the dry food in the car, but unexpectedly, the group of people showed greed when they saw the bracelet on Meng Baiyun's hand.

It was confirmed that there were only two women in the car with the woman driving the car, they exchanged winks, and started to snatch Meng Baiyun's baggage on the side of the car, and someone took the opportunity to snatch Meng Baiyun's bracelet.

This is not a group of ordinary beggars at all, but a group of bandits.

Just pretending to be a beggar, specializing in robbing passing carriages and horses.

It's just that they obviously picked the wrong person.

"court death."

As soon as Furong's palm came out, the first few who were trying to snatch Meng Baiyun's bracelet were shaken far away, lying on the ground and screaming.

This action undoubtedly deterred the group of bandits, they didn't dare to move, and took a few steps back.

Fu Rong wanted to teach them a lesson, but Meng Baiyun stopped her: "Forget it, you guys, do you know the Mu Family Village?"

Several bandits looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of them bravely responded: "I know, but Mujiazhai has changed its name a long time ago. If you want to go up to Mujiazhai, our brothers can help you, but you have to pay, and Those who were injured by you also have to pay for medical expenses.”

Peony's long whip swiped a pattern in the air, which frightened the group of people into stupidity.

"What are you doing?"

Mudan sneered: "You want money or your life, you choose."

The bandits trembled in fright. It was really bad luck. They met a master who was not easy to bully. They thought they were just three girls, but they never thought they would be so powerful.

"Yes, terribly, the heroine doesn't want to kill us, we are also forced to do nothing, and want the heroine to reward us with food."

Meng Baiyun got out of the carriage and walked up to one of them: "You just said that the Mu family village has been occupied."

"Yeah, a few years ago, Mu's village was suddenly deserted. Later, a wave of bandits from outside occupied Mu's village and renamed it Wild Wolf Village. Since they came, several nearby villages have been destroyed. It was annexed, and those who could be used were left behind. Those of us who were weak and without martial arts were kicked out. If we were not forced to panic because of hunger, we would not dare to grab your things if we had ten guts. .”

Meng Baiyun looked in the direction of Mujiazhai thoughtfully, turned around and got on the carriage, and threw an ingot to those people, and the group of people instantly rushed towards the silver like wolves, fighting over it, and finally fought .

The scene was very chaotic, but Meng Baiyun just glanced at it and got into the car.

Peony asked her for instructions: "Madam, where are you going now?"

"Go to the market and find an inn."

"Yes, ma'am."

With a whip, several bandits who had been fighting to the side of the carriage and bumped into the carriage were twitching and jumping. Peony shouted sharply, "Get out of here."

Fu Rong helped Meng Baiyun into the carriage, looked at the scuffle outside the carriage, and teased: "It's really a man-made death, why didn't Madam give some money."

"Even if they give you broken money, they have to fight. I have seen too many of these bandits. As you said, people die for money."

Fu Rong nodded, admiring Meng Baiyun: "After seeing the appearance of these bandits, and then thinking of the Mu Family Village that Madam you took care of, it is a world of difference. These people can kill each other for profit, but the Mu Family Village is You can go through fire and water for your brothers, greed and righteousness are completely different."

"Yes, even when the Mujiazhai was the poorest, they were of the same mind. We ate together when we had food, and worked together when we had difficulties." Meng Baiyun thought of the first time she went to Mujiazhai, that poor village was about to dig trees. The roots have been eaten, but even so, everyone is concerned about the food and clothing of the elderly, children and women, unity, friendship, and righteousness.

  It's just that in the current Mujiazhai, the head of the family has betrayed everyone, leaving an empty shell and being taken over by others. The Mujiazhai back then no longer exists. Today, the prosperous life is called Mujia Village.

When Meng Baiyun came back, he originally wanted to go up to the mountain to have a look. Maybe Long Aohan would come here. Mujiazhai is a place that is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. Outsiders can't go up without knowing the mechanism. She is afraid that Long Aohan will have nowhere to go here.

Now, it is obvious that Long Aohan cannot be on the mountain.

Even so, she planned to stay for a while, she wanted to go to Nanchu and meet Yan Hongyi.

Entering the Southern Chu Palace is naturally not an easy task.

But the so-called money can turn ghosts, Meng Baiyun bought a local well-known man known as a know-it-all with a 1000 tael bank note on the third day after arriving in Jinzhou.

Under Wanshitong's arrangement, she successfully entered the territory of Southern Chu, drove a carriage for three days, and arrived at Yangcheng, the capital of Southern Chu.

The difference between the north and the south is obvious from the clothing. Although the names of the Southern Chu and the Northern Liang are one south and one north, the land boundary is one north and one south.

The folk customs of Southern Chu are tough, and most of the small affiliated countries are nomads. However, Southern Chu is dry and rainless, so they mostly eat cakes and noodles as the staple food. There are also brick and tile houses in the big earthen building, but Wanshitong told Meng Baiyun that those brick and tile houses are generally not places to make a living.

The so-called is not a good business, it means places like brothels and brothels.

Southern Chu's masculinity is prevalent, so it is not uncommon to see handsome, white-faced men standing in front of brick and tile houses on the street soliciting customers.

It was the first time for Fu Rong to come, and she was surprised to see it, but Meng Baiyun was not surprised.

Wanshitong hired three bamboo sedan chairs, because it was quite a distance away from the palace city of Nanchu, and it was too tiring to walk by foot.

Bamboo sedan chairs like this are everywhere on the road, a wicker chair is supported on two simple bamboo sticks, carried back and forth by two porters, the price is not expensive, but the people sitting on it are all well-dressed people with some money.

Sitting on a bamboo sedan chair, watching the customs and customs of Nanchu along the road, the biggest difference from Chang'an City is that the road here is very lively, both sides of the road are full of various small stalls, and the shouts of merchants are also the same. His voice was louder than before, compared to the merchants in Chang'an City, they were too reserved.

That difference is like a big man and a scholar, they are very different.
