Chapter 14 A big gift!
What my daughter brought was the steamed buns mixed with white flour. They were freshly made and had a tangy fragrance of grain. They had already reached this stage, so why worry about gains and losses?
After Shen Congwen thought about it, his belly was like thunder. Just as he was about to put the steamed bun into his mouth, he heard a quarrel in the brothers' room not far away.
"How can these be enough to eat? Yuan Jing, we are a family, you can't leave us alone when you are full?"
"Yuan Jing, this is your fault. You have to eat "Why don't you go to your grandparents and show your filial piety first? You are being unfilial..."
...
Shen Lanxi returned to the carriage and had lunch. It was early spring and the weather was not good. Even if it was hot, the ready-made food they brought could not be stored for more than three days. You can relax during these three days. After these three days, you will have to make a fire and cook. If you want to have a meal then, you will have to wait for a while.
Taking a cherished bite of the sugar steamed bun, along with pickles and fermented bean curd, Shen Lanxi looked in the distance towards the capital.
The gift she left for Zhou Ruyuan should have been unboxed and accepted now!
Thinking of Zhou Ruyuan and Bai Qingling's funny looks, she ate another big steamed bun.

When Zhou Ruyuan and Bai Qingling returned to the house, it was almost dawn.
So many guards in the mansion were injured at the same time, and now many people were staring at the Zhennan Palace. They immediately called the palace doctor and mobilized the troops. There was no guarantee that no nails would be planted in the mansion.
Zhou Ruyuan endured it until dawn, and the thin sweat on his body was not broken by the pain, until the servants in the mansion started to move around, and immediately asked the injured guard to be taken to the martial arts training ground.
Zhou Ruyuan justly claimed that he was injured in a fight with the guards, so he sent the doctor to come for treatment.
"Your Majesty just strained his muscles and bones, his bones are not serious. If you don't exert any force on your right arm for half a month, it will be back to normal!"
Bai Qingling was filled with anger when she thought of Shen Lanxi, carefully. He quickly wiped the thin sweat from Zhou Ruyuan's forehead, and the distressed tears fell down.
"Your Majesty, how dare Shen Lanxi hurt the Prince so badly, she has a vicious heart."
"The Prince saw that she was a weak woman, so he deliberately let her go and didn't want to hit her. Rely on this to kill the prince!"
Zhou Ruyuan looked at his fingers that were still trembling occasionally. Only he knew that he really tried his best. When Shen Lanxi smashed his stick down, it was like a huge boulder. The reason why his arm was not broken like the guard's was because he dodged quickly!
Shen Lanxi has been hiding her clumsiness!
Thinking of her humiliating words when she left, Zhou Ruyuan's face turned red and he clenched his hands hard. Even the pain in his right arm could not resist the sudden reluctance in his heart.
When did she become so powerful and why didn’t she tell him?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let go of your hand quickly. The doctor said you can't use your right hand!" Seeing Zhou Ruyuan become so angry, Bai Qingling thought he had hated Shen Lanxi to the core.
While I feel sorry for the prince, I feel extremely happy at the same time!
The prince has given up on Shen Lanxi. The best outcome for her is to die in exile. It is best for her relatives to watch her die!
"It's not good, Your Majesty..." The servant from the palace quickly came to report.
Zhou Ruyuan recovered from his stupor, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "What's the matter?"
The boy was so frightened that his head almost dropped to his chest, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's full." Rumors about the palace are spreading in the streets.”
The boy didn’t dare to say the rest.
Zhou Ruyuan's intuition was that something was wrong, and he immediately shouted angrily at the card table: "If you hesitate again, I'll give you twenty sticks before I reply!"
The boy hurriedly lay on the ground, kowtowed and said: "They all say that the prince is newly married. I stayed in the outer room at night and asked for water three times in one night..."
Zhou Ruyuan stood up angrily and flipped the table. The tea set fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. All the slaves in the room were frightened. Shivering. Bai Qingling was angry at first, and then her face turned pale.
This is a royal scandal. If it gets too big, Your Majesty will not do anything to his son, and will definitely deal with her!
Bai Qingling lowered her head and glanced at her flat belly, her eyes immediately firm.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea..."
On that day Zhou Ruyuan requested an order to personally lead troops to conquer the northwest, but it was a pity that it was a step too late. In the morning, His Majesty had already decided to conquer the commander-in-chief, and Zhou Ruyuan was going to go. He can only be dispatched by the coach in the name of deputy general.
Zhou Ruyuan stood at the entrance of the palace for a full hour, then walked into the palace again. When he came out again, he took the appointment letter of deputy general, immediately ordered his troops, and set out to conquer the northwest three days later!
A group of people blended into the civilians when the city gate was about to close, and quietly set off in the direction of Dongchuan!

Among the exiled group, except for the Shen family, the other men over the age of fifteen were all wearing shackles and shackles, and they were not moving very fast.
The yamen also knew the identity of the Shen family and did not dare to embarrass them on the surface. This was not necessarily the case for other prisoners.
"Please do me a favor. My grandmother is thirsty and wants to ask for a bowl of water..."
The prisoner didn't even finish his words and was kicked and beaten. Snap the whip.
"Drink water. You are prisoners. You think you are a master. You are still drinking water. There is no water but urine. Do you want to drink it?"
There were curses and cries.
"Cry, cry, cry, wait until someone is dead before you cry. Whoever lets me hear you cry will be whipped..." The whip was slapped on several prisoners again, but no one dared to do so. Cry out loud.
Even if you cry, keep your voice in your mouth and cry!
On the first day of exile, the prisoners could still keep up with their physical strength. Except for some who were beaten before they understood their situation, they all persisted.
In the evening, a steamed bun with mixed noodles as big as a child's fist is served to each person as a dinner.
The prisoners all rushed to sleep in the stables. The yamen were in low-grade Datong shops. These were standard equipment and did not cost money.
After the government officials settled down, Shen Lanxi counted the time and it was too late.
Several government servants are eating in the hall.
Shen Lanxi walked over unhurriedly: "The yamen are working so hard and don't eat well. How can I have the energy to travel tomorrow and bring the best wine and food!"
The burly yamen When Shen Lanxi came to the road, she looked gentle and weak. The people she led were also old and young, and they couldn't make big waves, so they let their guard down a lot.
"Little brother, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
They have been following the exile team, and a blind man can see it. Coincidentally, it wasn’t just a casual comment!
Shen Lanxi smiled and clasped her fists: "We are destined, and in the end, I got the glory."
The burly Yamen raised his thick eyebrows: "How do you say this?"
Shen Lanxi immediately said in a flattering tone: "To be honest, when I shipped a batch of goods from the capital, I was afraid of encountering bad guys on the road. The adults wearing official uniforms can just scare Xiaoxiao so that they don't dare to take advantage of my goods! I don't want to Are you just taking advantage of the adults? "
The government officials felt comfortable and unburdened by Shen Lanxi's flattery.
Shen Lanxi shouted to the shopkeeper again: "I will arrange the best rooms for all the government officials. All of them are private rooms, and the money will be mine!"
If it were normal, the government officials would definitely want to It was uneasy to watch the weasel greet the rooster in the New Year, and because of Shen Lanxi's flattery, I felt that this arrangement was natural.
