Chapter 9

Aunt Mu felt the despair that came to her face, and her eyes were black for a while, she really wanted to faint, and she didn't have to face everyone's strange eyes.

This matter will definitely spread, and she doesn't dare to think about her husband's reaction.

But she held on, she couldn't just pass out like this, and she would be finished if she didn't settle the matter.

Will definitely be abandoned!

She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Okay, I promise you, but you have to settle things."

"Give me the money first." Mu Wanqing didn't scatter the eagle when she saw the rabbit.

The second aunt's chest hurt in anger, and she took out five hundred taels of silver bills and handed them over.

I didn't expect that one day the boat would capsize in the gutter and be ruled by the niece of the family once looked down on. It was a shame.

The useless second brother actually gave birth to such a cunning daughter, she underestimated others.

In front of everyone, Mu Wanqing accepted the bank note generously, smiling like a flower.

Just let everyone open their eyes and take a look. Getting out of prison does not mean that he can turn over and become the master. The key point is that it is Mrs. Mu.

Dare to bully her head, no matter who it is, she will not be polite.

This is called killing the chicken to warn the monkey, and the second aunt is the chicken.

"It turns out that I heard it wrong. My second aunt just wanted to give me money, but I can't even ask for it. Isn't that right, second aunt?"

"Yes." Second Aunt Mu's face turned red as she squeezed a word out of her teeth, gnashing her teeth a bit.

Crowd: ...

Your aunts and nephews really know how to play.

Mu Wanqing smiled and hugged everyone, "I'm sorry, I can't eat well in the prison, I can't sleep well, I'm not very awake, it's my fault for talking nonsense, I'll make up for it."

She said so, and it is hard for others to say anything. As for whether they believe it or not, only they themselves know.

Mu Wanqing felt in a good mood when she touched the banknotes. She had to pay for food, drink, and Lhasa along the way.

She didn't care about the glares from the rest of the Mu family and the resentment of the second aunt.

Money is delicious! Having money is good!

She walked up to Master Zeng, who was leading the team, raised her head, took out two hundred taels of silver, and presented them with both hands.

"Lord Zeng, here it is, this is money for the road."

As the saying goes, if you take someone's money, you should protect one or two if you take her money.

Mr. Zeng: ...

He lowered his head and looked at the skinny little girl. He had never seen such ability before, "What's your name?"

"Mu Wanqing, from the second room of the Mu family."

Master Zeng was stunned for a moment, "It turned out to be you."

Sure enough, she is an unconventional girl. She is open-minded, eclectic, flexible, sober and rational.

Mu Wanqing was slightly surprised, "Have you heard my name?"

Master Zeng nodded slightly, but accepted the money without explaining much.

Mu Wanqing's heart was settled, she happily returned to her parents, and handed the remaining three hundred taels to Mu Erye. After all, he was the head of the family.

Second Master Mu refused, "You can take the money you got from your ability."

He has been abandoned and has a cowardly personality, but he has given birth to a courageous and determined daughter.

He's not smart, but he knows a truth. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, just follow smart people.

He believed that Wan Qing would not treat her family badly.

Every meal in the prison is a meat bun, and she never fails. She has never eaten alone, which gives him enough confidence.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, she was better than countless people just by grasping this clearly.

The gongs and drums rang, and it was time to set off.

Everyone reluctantly said goodbye to their relatives and friends, no matter how reluctant they were, there was a difference.

This parting, the mountains are high and the water is far away, and will never see you again in this life.

The road ahead is vast, when is the way back?

When the second aunt sobbed softly, she didn't forget to stare at Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing didn't care, she was a tool for sending money.

Everyone was in a bad mood, shrouded in depression and depressed.

But soon, they couldn't care less.

Prisoners all walk on their feet. After walking for a while, their feet are about to die, and it hurts deeply.

Although it is autumn, the sun is quite poisonous, and the sun will soon sweat like rain.

The physical strength was rapidly lost, the hands and feet were aching, and the whole body was aching, exhausted.

The old ladies and gentlemen who are accustomed to health care have suffered such hardships. The feet of the women wearing embroidered shoes are worn out, and every step they take is so painful that they gasp like torture.

It is even harder for men to wear shackles. Someone proposed to take a break, but was whipped by the yamen and completely stopped. No matter how hard or tired they were, they had to go on.

Mu Wanqing was fine wearing men's soap shoes, and her will was firm.

But Qian suffered hardships. She was already weak.

Second Master Mu saw his wife's face as pale as paper, out of breath, unable to open his eyes, and collapsed.

He felt extremely distressed, squatted down, "I'll carry you."

He himself is wearing shackles, and it is inconvenient to move, and it is even more inconvenient to carry people.

Mrs. Mu also felt sorry for him, "No, no, I'm okay, I have to adapt to this kind of life, there is still a long way to go."

Mu Zicheng's brothers are surrounded by their parents, helpless and full of frustration.

mu Zi'ang is more worried about her delicate and weak sister, "Qing'er, are you okay?"

Mu Wanqing was also very uncomfortable. She was extremely thirsty, her throat was unbearably dry, and she was about to smoke.

But facing the worried eyes of her parents, she licked her chapped lips, "I can do it."

A scooter passed by them, and the old lady Mu was sitting on it, surrounded by several great-grandchildren.

When she passed the second room, she glanced lightly, full of disgust and hatred.

Actually blackmailing her daughter's money! A bunch of evildoers.

What's the use of a few hundred or two? They have nothing to eat or drink, and they have to walk every day to see how long they can last.

She would bet that it was impossible for them to reach Liangcheng safely.

She opened the lid of the sheepskin water bladder and took a big mouthful of it, a strange sense of satisfaction filled her heart, as if she had returned to the era of the old lady who said nothing.

Rich, car, and filial sons and grandsons, perfect.

The only bad thing is that the second room gets in her eyes! However, it will soon disappear.

The eldest lady of the big house and the two daughters-in-law took turns pushing the cart, and the two delicate daughters walked behind with difficulty, sweating and breathless.

Another trolley was full of luggage and supplies, pushed by Mrs. Mu San, tired and panting.

"Mother, you have to find a way to get rid of the shackles of the men, otherwise it's not enough for us women to push the cart."

In fact, the men of the Mu family were not good either. They couldn't keep up with their physical strength. They were so tired that they collapsed.

But who can push them?

You and I discussed each word for a long time, but no result was reached.

When it was finally time to rest, everyone was tired and lay down. No matter how dirty the ground was, they sat on the ground.

Mrs. Mu Er took off her embroidered shoes, her socks were stained red with blood, and blisters appeared on her feet.

Second Master Mu squatted down to treat her wound, and when the powder was sprinkled on her, her aching face was deformed.

This is just the beginning, what will happen in the future?

Not only the second room is like this, but others are also miserable.

"How long did it take?"

"It's only a few miles." He hadn't left Gyeonggi.

Everyone looked at each other, their heads were big, how long would it take to reach Liangcheng.

At lunch, each person was given a dumpling of wild vegetables mixed with black and green, and Mu Wanqing took a bite, wow, it was made from the worst flour, and it was also mixed with bran, which was even more unpalatable than prison rice.

This is outrageous.

Many people didn't eat wild vegetable dumplings, they took out the dry food sent by relatives and started eating. As for the relatives who didn't send them, they would spend money to buy food from the yamen.

This is also the reason why the yamen is rushing to escort the exile road for thousands of miles, all the way through wind and rain.

A few years of salary can be earned after a hard trip, which is a great allure for the yamen who came from a poor background.

Mu Wanqing looked around, everyone was eating steamed buns and pancakes.

Sixth Aunt came over with some white flour pancakes, "Brother-in-law, try my parents' craftsmanship."

Qian was stunned for a moment, and politely declined, "You don't have many, so keep it for the children."

"Give it to Xiaoqing." Sixth Aunt just shoved the pancake in her hand, and then went back to eat.

Mu Wanqing often served the children of the Sixth Aunt's family to eat meat buns in prison. The Sixth Aunt's family was grateful, and the relationship between the two was getting closer, especially the Sixth Aunt and Qian's family were very close.

However, the three sons of the Sixth Aunt's family are all strong men, and they eat a lot, which is really not enough.

She thought for a while, then stood up, "Dad, let's buy some food too. Come with me."

"Okay." Even if she didn't mention it, Second Master Mu would accompany her to avoid suspicion.

The yamen servants buried the stove to cook and cook, a pot of white rice, a pot of simmering, and everything in it.

However, Mu Wanqing lost her appetite.

She found Master Zeng and took out a silver note, "Master, I want to buy five water bladders from you."

Master Zeng looked at the girl with a calm expression, she was so calm in this situation, she was really unusual. "Row."

With a wave of his hand, he sent five water bladders, along with the clean water inside.

Master Mu was overjoyed, took the water bag and handed it to his daughter, "Qing'er, drink it now, your lips are peeling."

He is really a good father, Mu Wanqing's heart warmed, and after drinking two sips of water to moisten her throat, she felt much more comfortable.

"Sir, can I cook my own rice? It's very fast, without wasting time, just sell me a few bowls of rice and a few eggs."

Master Zeng was stunned, his mind racing, "Okay, but if you delay the trip, you will be at your own risk."

"Good."

Six bowls of white rice, six eggs, a small spoon of lard, and three water bags cost a total of 12 taels of silver, which made Second Master Mu feel bad.

These things are not worth the price at all.

But there is no way, if you don't buy it, someone will naturally buy it.

Mu Wanqing searched the field again and found dogwood and wild onion ginger.

As a result, problems were encountered in actual operation.

There is no iron pan! They use ceramics for cooking, and they don't have a shovel for cooking, and naturally they don't have cooking oil.

How to do? There are no conditions to create conditions to go.

She found a flat stone, rinsed it in water, and heated it.

Beat the eggs, put them into the rice and stir well, so that each grain of rice is fully coated with the egg liquid.

Then add chopped green onion and sprinkle with fine salt. This salt was taken on the spot by her home, which is different from the coarse salt outside.

When the lard is fragrant, pour in the treated rice and stir fry with chopsticks and a long spoon. The whole process is smooth and smooth, flexible and skilled.

The conditions are very difficult, but with excellent craftsmanship and exquisite control of the heat, a pot of fragrant egg fried rice has been fried.

The strange fragrance is tangy, and it quickly spreads around, and the fragrance is particularly domineering.

At the beginning, the chef was still a little unhappy. Did he look down on his cooking skills? Still look down on his cooking skills?

But out of curiosity, he glanced at it from time to time.

Looking at it, he was suspicious of life, how could he still be like this? Amazing.

Vegetables are not like vegetables, and rice is not like rice, but it is really fragrant.

The Mu family watched eagerly, feeling that the meat patties in their hands were not fragrant.

Mu Wanqing first poured a bowl for Mu Erye, Mu Erye involuntarily sniffed and drooled.

He took a big mouthful and was instantly hit by the delicious fragrance. His taste buds were completely awakened, his eyes lit up, and his movements couldn't help speeding up.

Mu Ziang next to him was anxious, "Father, how is it? Is it delicious? "

Mu Erye's mouth was bulging, he nodded frantically, and he didn't even care to speak.

What else do other people understand? Immediately looked at Mu Wanqing and wanted to eat!

A voice sounded, "What is this?"

It's Master Zeng, he didn't know when he came.

"Broken Gold Rice." Mu Wanqing invited her with a smile, "Sir, would you like some too?"

Master Zeng had already eaten three bowls of rice and wanted to refuse, but looking at the golden egg fried rice, he suddenly felt that he could eat a little more.

"Then give me half a bowl."

Soon, he regretted it.

If time went back to just now, he would say, fill me up with a big bowl! Ocean Bowl! ! Ahhh, it's so delicious that I cry! ! !
