The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 154

Selling private salt?Baozhu really wanted to laugh out loud, how could the Rong family sell private salt?The Rong family didn't lack that money at all, and the Rong family, who owns the mother's shop, had a share. They didn't lack money, so how could they sell illegal salt?

But wasn't it good before?Why did the emperor suddenly trouble the Rong family?

"Then the married sisters of the Rong family have been implicated?"

The humane said, "No, that is, all the members of the Rong family were sent to the frontier, and those who were married and the branch clan were not implicated. Hey, are you really an in-law of the Rong family? I heard that the Rong family has always been pretty good. , why do such a thing suddenly?"

Another person said, "Hey, don't worry about the Rong family. I heard that the business tax is going to increase again recently. Isn't this killing people? It's a small business. If it goes up, you will have to pay all taxes."

"What can you do? Can you still fight against the imperial court? Not only the business tax has been raised, but many other taxes have also been raised. Jiangnan is not bad. It is said that there are many complaints from the people in other places. Hey, there are no days. The law is over."

It was getting darker and darker before Baozhu's eyes, and she felt that she was going to pass out. The two people beside him saw that something was wrong, they hurriedly stepped aside to let her sit down, and poured a glass for her, "Little brother, you have to hold on." , if your younger sister is really married to the Rong family, hurry up and find out the news, this happened half a month ago, and now I don't know what's going on."

Baozhu drank a glass of water and finally recovered, thanked the two of them and got up to leave.

Instead, she calmed down now, and now is not the time to be worried, she must go back to Luling to find out the news.

Ma Long also heard it, and followed Baozhu to persuade him, "My lord, don't worry too much. If His Highness knows about this, he won't let it go. Besides, it's just distribution to the frontier, and there is nothing else. The Rong family is There are a lot of relatives in the family, and the soldiers on the road dare not abuse them."

Baozhu took two breaths, and clenched her trembling hands into fists, "I know." What Ma Long said was the truth, if the Rong family just ransacked their home, their lives should not be in danger, but she was afraid that the Rong family would not be able to bear it. Live, fell ill on the way.

Distributing to the frontier is even worse than killing them, I'm afraid uncle and father will not be able to bear it.

On the way back, Baozhu kept thinking, why did the emperor suddenly attack the Rong family?

After returning home, she still didn't have a clue. As soon as she got home, Baozhu immediately asked four maids to help her pack her things and planned to go back to Luling.

When the four guards heard this, they immediately persuaded, "Princess, absolutely not, there is nothing you can do now when you go back, and if the Rong family is really sent to the frontier, I'm afraid it will still be on the way, why don't you let the subordinates go to the hut?" Let Ling inquire about the situation."

The last time His Highness was about to leave, he had already explained that the princess must not be allowed to return to Luling during this period.

Baozhu snapped, "Get out of the way!"

The four guards were suffering from headaches, and the princess was His Highness's favorite, but His Highness had explained it at the time, so it was really embarrassing at the moment.

The four servant girls absolutely obeyed Baozhu, and quickly packed up their things. Baozhu said to the four guards, "If you don't want to go back, I'll go back by myself." , It takes a month and a half to get to Luling by horse-drawn carriage, but it takes only four to five hours to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

The four servant girls said, "Princess, won't you take us back?"

Baozhu said, "You stay in Jiangnan first, I may come over again, if not, someone will come over to pick you up."

The four maids nodded, no objection.

Baozhu said again, "Mumian, you go to Fang's medicine hall and tell me that I'm afraid I can't go to sit in the hall anymore. Mujin, you go to Wang's house and tell Second Master Wang that I have something to do and I have to leave Jiangnan for a while."

Kapok Hibiscus nodded.

Baozhu only carried a bag, which contained two changes of clothes, some pills, some silver taels and dry food. He was still planning to wear men's clothes, and it would be more convenient for the road.

Baozhu ignored the four guards and went directly to the backyard to lead Xiao Jiu, and Xiao Ba followed suit.

Of course, it was impossible for the four guards to let the princess go back alone, so they could only lead the horse and follow them together.

Baozhu didn’t stop on the road, but it was the first time she rode a horse, and both sides of her inner thighs were so painful. After two days of driving day and night, Baozhu couldn’t stand it anymore, and she was afraid that Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu couldn’t bear it. When passing through a small town, I found an inn to rest for the night.

The inner thigh still hurt yesterday, but today it is much better. Baozhu thought the inner thigh would be worn out after washing up at night, but she didn't expect to check and find that there is nothing wrong with it.

Baozhu knew that her body's resilience was better, and she found that sometimes a small wound on her body would heal almost the next day without leaving a single scar, probably because of the effect of using lotion all year round.

In the next three days, Baozhu was almost used to it, and he didn't feel anything except a little tired. He arrived in Luling on the fifth day.

But when he was about to enter the city, Baozhu stopped, thought for a while and went directly to the border, planning to ask Brother Wu first.

Baozhu still sent Wang Chao and Wang Hu to Luling first to see if His Highness was there, and to inquire about some situations by the way.

After running for a long time before arriving at the border, Baozhu went directly to Fifth Brother.

Fifth Brother was in the military camp, and the border was very difficult, so there was only one small house at the border, and Baozhu knew the address before, so he quickly searched for it.

The gatekeeper was an old woman in her fifties and sixties, she was a little stunned when she saw a young man when she opened the door.

Baozhu glanced in, her face was extremely tired and anxious, "I'm looking for Fifth Master Rong, is he here?"

The mother-in-law said, "My fifth master is no longer here, so you should come back another day."

"Since I'm not here, I'll just go find Grandma Fifth." Bao Zhu is now dressed in men's clothing, and she subconsciously doesn't want others to know that she is the princess, as if there are other things that will happen.

The woman looked Baozhu up and down, and snorted, "You man, what are you doing with our fifth grandma! Get out of the way, don't make trouble."

Baozhu was anxious, and now she lost her good looks, and said with a dark face, "My Fifth Brother Xunrong has something to do with Grandma Fifth, if you delay it, you can afford it, why don't you hurry up and get out!"

The woman hesitated for a while, and said, "In that case, I'll go and report to Grandma Fifth, if I don't see you, I can't blame the old woman."

Baozhu nodded, and the mother-in-law went in and announced. The fifth grandmother heard that she was a son, and she was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, she let people in.

Seeing that Baozhu came in with the mother-in-law, Fifth Grandma didn't know her at all, she got up holding the child and asked doubtfully, "Who is this young master?"

Baozhu couldn't help but take a look at the child in Wusao's arms. When she left Luling, Wusao was only a few months pregnant, and she will give birth now. The child looks to be seven or eight months old and is hiding in the Fifth Sister-in-Law stared at Baozhu with wide eyes in her arms.

Baozhu waved to the maids and mother-in-law beside Fifth Sister-in-law, "Go down first, I have something to talk to Fifth Grandma."

The mother-in-law said angrily, "You are so unreasonable, young master, how can you see my fifth grandma in private!"

Grandma Fifth was also a little puzzled. She was worried about the meeting, and she felt a little impatient.

Baozhu looked at Fifth Wife and said, "The Rong family!"

Grandma Fifth's complexion changed drastically. Xianggong received a letter two days ago, after reading it, his complexion changed drastically, and he was about to go out immediately. When he left, he told her that the Rong family had been ransacked, and he was going to take a look on the road.This young master actually knew about the Rong family's affairs, Fifth Mistress immediately pushed back the servant girl, and then asked, "My young master, how do you know about the Rong family's affairs?"

When Baozhu heard this, her heart sank. When she was on the road before, she couldn't help thinking about whether she had made a mistake. Maybe it was the gossiping person who made a mistake. In fact, it wasn't the Rong family who had the accident.But now Grandma Fifth's words confirmed that something happened to the Rong family.I'm afraid that a letter from the capital has already been delivered, so the fifth brother told the fifth sister-in-law that something happened to the Rong's family and then went out.

Baozhu recovered her voice and said in a deep voice, "Fifth Sister-in-law, I am Baozhu."

"Baozhu?" Grandma Wu stood up abruptly and her eyes widened, "You...you are Baozhu, why are you dressed like this?"

Baozhu sat down next to Fifth Sister-in-law, and said wearily, "I was in Jiangnan before, and I overheard that something happened to Rong's family, so I rushed back immediately. Men's clothing is more convenient on the way." As she spoke, she looked up at Fifth Grandma, "Fifth Sister-in-law , did something really happen to the Rong family?"

The fifth grandma has also been very worried these past few days. Hearing this, her expression turned gray, "It's true. Two days ago, your fifth brother received a letter from the capital, saying that it was the Rong family who sold private salt and was confiscated. Frontier."

The child in his arms didn't know anything, looked at Baozhu curiously, babbled and stretched out his chubby hand to Baozhu.

Baozhu reluctantly smiled at the child, reached out to take the child, and hugged the little guy in his arms.

The fifth sister-in-law said bitterly, "How could the Rong family sell illegal salt? I don't know who framed the Rong family! The Rong family has several cargo ships. On the morning when the husband said what happened, many soldiers went to the cargo ships. I searched for private salt from several cargo ships, Baozhu, this..."

"Impossible!" Baozhu said, "It's impossible for the Rong family to sell private salt. The Rong family doesn't have many enemies. Besides, if you want to take revenge, you should think about whether the Rong family is doing well or not. You don't understand. There are many in-laws in the Rong family." , Most people dare not touch the Rong family at all, I'm afraid it was the emperor who did it."

Fifth sister-in-law nodded, "Your fifth brother said the same thing, he sent someone to the capital to investigate the situation two days ago, and he himself went to pick up Rong's family on the road, hoping that they are all well and still alive. "

Yes, as long as you are alive, you are not afraid. As long as you are alive, you will still have a chance. The world is about to change. As long as you are alive, the Rong family will be able to rise again.

Grandma Fifth asked, "Have you been back to Luling? Does Your Highness know about this?"

Baozhu shook her head, "I came here directly, and I don't know if His Highness knows about it. But I sent someone to inquire about the situation, and I should come to report tomorrow."

Grandma Fifth said, "I'm afraid you have traveled for a few days, so go to rest first."

Baozhu could sleep there, almost tormented until the next day.

Early the next morning, Wang Hu came over and told Baozhu about the situation in Luling, only that His Highness was no longer in Luling, and Luling didn't know about the ransacking of the Rong family.He also said that the dynasty had arranged for the guards in the mansion to go on the road to see if they could pick up the Rong family.

Baozhu's heart sank slightly, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
