Chapter 42 Helian Yanran, who is simple and luxurious

Since Bai Sheng went to the Helian clan to seek medical treatment, Helian Yanran ordered that all his expenses should be compared with himself, food, clothing, and all kinds of expenses. At first, Bai Sheng suffered from poisonous hair, how could he have the heart to pay attention to this. Later, after detoxification, I focused on cultivation and paid attention to such trivial matters. When he finally recovered, he was accustomed to it.

In the inner city, only Helian Yanran thought it was the master, and the other was Bai Sheng, a "distinguished guest". The dishes of each of his meals are exactly the same as those of Helian Yanran, and even the clothes on his body are the same as those of hers. Helian Yanran likes to be quiet and simple, and prefers plain colors. Therefore, Bai Sheng at that time did not know that the ten dishes that looked light and pleasant at his meal were worth hundreds of taels, and he could consume more than 1,000 taels of silver every day just for one meal. Just a small soup soup requires several rare birds and livestock, supplemented by the warmth and nourishment of the same source as top medicine and food, and it takes enough time to simmer it, not to mention the complexity of the rest of the cooking. In case of New Year's Festival or big days in the clan, it will be doubled or even several times. And the plain clothes, which were so comfortable to wear on the body, were made of silk threads that were soft and tough enough to make peerless blades, and they were truly priceless. In the whole world, only Helian Yuanniang can use it to make clothes without even blinking an eye. The rest of the expenses are calculated for a total of two or three thousand taels per day. Bai Sheng is not a poor person, a few taels of silver can provide the whole family with food and drink for a year. He is a valuable prince of the Yue Kingdom, although he is not very favored, but there is never a shortage of silver, and there are times when he spends a lot of money, but in more days, two or three thousand taels is enough for him to spend a year. Bai Sheng couldn't think that his father was fainting with him, but the treasury couldn't afford him to toss like this. You must know that the annual salary of a first-class master is only seven hundred taels, which is not enough for him to pay for two meals. When Bai Sheng finally learned the truth, he had already been raised by Helian Yanran. The taste of the dishes made by the imperial chef in the palace became Er'er, and the fine brocade rewarded by the emperor was used to make clothes, but he wore it with a coarse and hard material. It is really easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

The Helian clan likes to be extravagant, especially women. Helian Yanran's adjustment fee alone is the largest in the clan. Bai Sheng knew that these were less than what she had paid for the clan. After more than a year of getting along, Bai Sheng saw that she was much busier than his father, who was in charge of everything. The things that the head of the family can't make up his mind and the fate of the whole clan have to be decided by her. Helian Yanran can always solve any tricky problem. It is not unreasonable for the long house to monopolize half of the Helian family's property. If it weren't for Helian Yanran's management, where would they have spent money like flowing water now, no, it was a comfortable life like a waterfall?

It stands to reason that he has only been "extravagant" for a year, and he has not adapted to the life of the prince, so Helian Yanran, who has grown up like this, should not be able to eat it. However, along the way, she never screamed bitterly and never shouted tired. The dry food that was hard and hard to swallow and made her throat hurt, she didn't even frown when she ate it, and she was as calm as if she was eating the rare and delicious food she was used to eating on weekdays. made Bai Sheng sigh and admire at the same time.

Maybe it's because the grass hut is bigger than the carriage, maybe it's because I've finally eaten a delicious taste, or maybe it's just because Helian Yanran is on the opposite side at the moment. Bai Sheng only felt extremely relaxed, his eyelids gradually sank, and he soon fell asleep.

When the person on the other side breathed evenly and long, Helian Yanran got up and gently covered him with half of the brocade cushion he was not lying on, and then sat back, rubbing the half of the jade that hung from his waist, recalling the old days.

Helian Yanran didn't feel that the journey was hard.

Once, she traveled north and south with Ah Injury, ran around, saw the sky high and the sea, the prosperity of the world, and also saw the various states of life, and the warmth and coldness of people. Many of the things she knew were taught by Ah Shen herself. Compared with the grinding at that time, what kind of hard work was a few days of traveling?

Ah Shen saved her life and kept her by his side, and since then, the fallen boy and the surviving little girl have depended on each other. He taught her everything he knew, and although life was hard, the two of them were happy and content. Feelings are gradually sprouted in such a day and night relationship, I don't know what to do, and I go deeper. She thought she could be married to her for a hundred years, but after all, she was naïve. She forgot her identity and lineage, and she also ignored his responsibilities and destiny. How happy and surprised she was on the day he promised her life, how desperate and sad she was on the day he married someone else.

Later, he was admired, and later she became famous all over the world. In retrospect, the happiest time was on Nanshan, the simple courtyard, the humble wooden house, and the acacia pears that bloom all year round. The hardships of trekking through mountains and rivers with him are far better than the riches of fine clothes and food later. All she wanted was to be with him from beginning to end, but in the end, she was disappointed.

Helian Yanran slowly closed her eyes and exhaled a long breath. All beings suffer, and she is not immune. What she couldn't ask for back then has long been untraceable, but now she must hold on to the glimmer of hope. She forced herself not to think about anything, and repeatedly recited the sword technique, and gradually fell asleep with pride.

The next day, when Bai Sheng woke up, he found that Helian Yanran had already packed up and made water for him to freshen up. She is always like this, thinking about everything first, and always seems to be able to think about him well. It's just that such a good Helian Yanran will one day leave her, thinking of this, Bai Sheng, who had a good night's sleep and was refreshed, suddenly fell down. He didn't like the feeling of being out of control. Helian Yanran seems to be able to influence his self-control and calmness more and more, and last night's incident is a good example. He couldn't sleep in the carriage, but by Helian Yanran's side, he easily slept until dawn.

Bai Sheng hastily ate some dry food that was hard enough to kill people in the entanglement, and absentmindedly poured a few sips of cold water, and then hurried away with everyone again.

The closer you get to Wanhuai Mansion, the more frightening the scene you see.

There were more and more displaced people on the road, at first they were only in twos and threes, and gradually they became groups. They were yellow-skinned, ragged, and numb in their eyes, dragging their heavy steps like walking corpses, running aimlessly on a life path where they didn't know where to go. On the way, occasionally their companions fell, some struggled to get up and continued to move forward, while others stopped moving, and even stopped breathing. Some people in the crowd still have sad faces, while others turn their heads numbly, and even have no strength to grieve. They didn't have the time or the strength to bury their companions, they had to look for food to fill their stomachs, and they were hungry, hungry and almost too hungry to hold on. They can't stop, and if they do, they may never be able to walk again. The dead are dead, but the living are alive. They can only keep walking, even if they don't know where to go.
