Chapter 787

Most weeds are astringent, but it's delicious to eat them after blanching water and frying with oil.

Today's dinner is obviously not as rich as yesterday's, but fortunately, after filling some fruit, I also had a full meal.

There were no candles or oil lamps at home. When it was dark, everyone went back to sleep.

The next morning, the family cleaned up the yard, turned the floor, and planted some wild vegetable roots.

Now they don't have seeds in their hands, and they don't have enough wild vegetables.

Chen Wu thinks about it and plans to go out of the mountain to buy some things. There is a small town here. Although the food has been looted, there must be vegetable seeds and so on. He also needs to buy a pair of shoes for his family. The most worn shoes are up and down the mountain.

Chen Wu is not a local. No one here knows him at all. If he disguises himself as a peddler from other places, he will not be suspected.

In this big family, only he can go out. Tao Lei will be recognized every minute.

No one objected to Chen Wu's proposal, but asked him to pay more attention to safety and come back earlier.

The family had plenty of silver, and the one hundred taels of silver Xu Qing stuffed in the bamboo basket was enough for them to use for a long time.

Chen Wu Chuai on ten Liang silver, carrying an empty bamboo basket out of the mountain to the town.

When he went to the town, he found that the prices here had changed dramatically. The prices of clothes and daily necessities were several times higher than usual!

Chen Wu was surprised. He asked a boss and found out that the price of grain had risen several times. In order to afford food, they had to raise the price.

Now there is no control in the small town, and there are no people from the southern Qin Dynasty. Some people secretly carry grain to sell, and plan to take advantage of the opportunity to save some silver. They don't even accept copper, just gold and silver!

Chen Wu curiously went to see what kind of food he was selling. Seeing the potatoes and sweet potatoes, he couldn't help thinking. When he asked about the price, he felt cold again.

It's not much to spend a few taels of silver to buy a few catties to grow potatoes. After a few months, the potatoes will grow, and the court may have accepted them.

After thinking about it, Chen Wu was still not willing to buy such expensive food. He went back to the seed shop to grind the price with his boss.

On the other side.

Xu Qing had a rest in the small town for a day. On the third day, he was urged to go on the road by Du Ying. He also said that if Xu Qing felt uncomfortable, they could walk slowly.

Xu Qing just wants to get to the destination early and have a rest early. She doesn't want to stay in the carriage all the time. If she doesn't suffocate, she will have to bump half her life.

Xu Qing wants to speed up her journey, but Du Ying can't wait for it. Fortunately, there is a place to rest all the way at night. Xu Qing can take a bath every day, lie down in bed and have a good sleep, so she's not in a bad mood.

Five days later, the group arrived in Xiangzhou city.

Du Ying can't wait to send Xu Qing to situ Xiao's residence. The housekeeper arranges Xu Qing in the backyard. The accommodation and food items are the best. She also sends several servant girls to serve her. In fact, they are looking at her.

Du Ying receives a letter from situ Xiao, which praises him and promises all kinds of benefits. At last, she tells him to take good care of Xu Qing.

After the arrival of Xu Qing, the guards of situ's house quietly doubled.

They arrived at dusk. When they entered the residence, it was almost dark. Xu Qing was arranged to live, but he didn't see anyone else in the residence, so he went to bed early.

These days, Xu Qinglu continues to convey her recent situation to the space. Du Ying just doesn't treat her as her ancestor. She's afraid that she's short of weight. When she wants to use it, it's like a drop in price. It's also funny.

Just after dawn, there was a loud noise outside.

In fact, Xu Qing has been awake for a long time, but he is used to staying in bed for a while, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a few hours.

She listened to the voices outside, one of which was quite familiar.

After a while, Xu Qing remembered who this man was, situ Xiao's eldest daughter, the arrogant and domineering lady situ min.

She still has a grudge against situ min. when she went to the capital, she scolded situ min in front of everyone that he was not a thing, and even his wife didn't give him a good face.

When he came here, Xu Qing felt that the mother and daughter would come to her to settle accounts, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

With a sigh, Xu Qing got up from the bed, dressed and washed.

Outside, situ min and Du Ying are about to fight. Situ Min wants to come in, but Du Ying won't let him. Seeing situ min's fierce posture, you can see that the comer is not good. In case of what happens to Xu Qing, situ Xiao must strip his skin!

So how dare Du Ying let situ min in, even if she is the first lady of situ family.

Situ min called a group of people, but they couldn't break in. He was so angry that he was panting. Then he cried at the door, and Xu Qing, the turtle with a shrunken head, came out quickly.

After washing and gargling, Xu walked out slowly, then sat down at the table in the outer hall and began to enjoy breakfast.

It's very comfortable to be served by someone. If you want something, you don't have to do it yourself.

When situ min saw Xu Qing, her voice was even higher, but no matter how hard she scolded or how insulting her tone was, Xu Qing was as if she had not heard her. He took her as air.They secretly cast a look of admiration at Xu Qing, which is even more arrogant than situ min.

Situ min was so angry at the door that he was about to explode. His hands were akimbo and his face turned red.

However, she scolded her for a while, and soon called Mrs. situ. As soon as she saw Mrs. situ, situ min was as clever as a lamb.

Mrs. situ stood at the door: "get out of the way."

Du Ying

Du Ying is almost entangled to death. Although Mrs. situ is not liked by situ Xiao at all, she is, after all, the mother in charge of the family in this house, and her status in the house is equal to that of situ Xiao.

Mrs. situ repeated: "get out of the way."

Du Ying wanted to talk and stop, so anxious that his head was sweating. At this time, he heard a lazy voice coming from behind.

"Let them in."

Du Ying surprised to see eye Xu Qing, dun dun, or get out of the way.

Mrs. situ glanced coldly and walked in nobly. Situ min followed him like a cockerel. She was very proud.

Mrs. situ sat down opposite Xu Qing, and immediately someone brought up three cups of tea.

"Are you used to it?" Mrs. situ asked casually.

Xu Qing leaned lazily in his chair: "it's OK, the bed is soft enough, the food is good, but it's too hot."

Mrs. situ looked at the housekeeper and said, "send someone to send some ice."

Housekeeper Leng Leng, cover the surprise in the eye, bow body should descend to retreat to go out.

Situ min looked left and right. The atmosphere of chatting made her feel confused. It seems strange to say "you have today" at this time.
