The Queen Mother and her entourage returned to the city first, and Liu Yunxiang rested in the camp for one night because of his inconvenience, and was escorted back to the city by Jiang Yuan the next day.

In the carriage, Liu Yunxiang looked at the bags of grain piled in front of him, and was speechless.

According to Jiang Yuan, this is the food they raised for the camp on the outskirts of Beijing outside the city.

Well, it's only enough for one person to drink a bowl of gruel.

Although Yan Dui, under Liu Yunxiang's reminder, had an early insight into the situation of the granary and urgently dispatched it from various states, man-made disasters could be prevented but natural disasters could not be prevented.

It rained continuously for more than 10 days, and the official road into Beijing was washed away, and grain could not be transported in at all.

The car stopped at the back door of the Hou Mansion, and Liu Yunxiang was helped out of the car by Jinyan.

"Madam, the master asked you to carry a bag of rice back. ”

Seeing Jiang Yuan carrying a bag of rice, she shook her head at him.

"You saw it on the street just now, and the people who leaned against the wall had not eaten for two or three days, and the grain shops in the whole city were closed. Oh, there is only one newly opened grain shop called 'Unzen', because of the preparation for the opening of the new shop, a large amount of grain has been prepared, but there are too many hungry people, they sell in limited quantities, only 5,000 stone a day, and each household can only buy half a bucket. The proprietor is an honest and honest man, although the food is so scarce, he has not increased the price, it is still 600 yuan a stone. This grain shop has become a bodhisattva for the people's lives, and every day before dawn, there is a long queue outside. ”

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he realized that the more he spoke, the farther he went.

Remember https://m in a second.

"In short, the big eunuchs, the ordinary people, everyone is hungry. Madam, you eat this bag of rice first, the master will never let you go hungry. ”

Liu Yunxiang snorted lightly, she accepted his love.

"Take it away, we have food to eat, and we can't go hungry. ”

"Huh?"

"If your master is really helpless, let him save me. ”

"Please?"

"If I'm in a good mood, I'll give him a bite to eat. ”

After speaking, Liu Yunxiang turned around and entered the back door.

Back in the courtyard, everything is as before. Liu Yunxiang sat on the Luohan bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

This trip has really experienced life and death, and I am still afraid when I think about it.

But since she has returned home, she still has to go to the old lady to say goodbye as soon as possible.

I didn't see anyone along the way, so I guess I was fired.

This kung fu was just in time for noon, and she entered the courtyard, and Yulian was slightly surprised to see her.

"Third Madame, have you returned home?"

"Hmm. ”

When I entered the hall, I saw that the eldest lady and the second son, the two husbands and wives in the second room, and the third son and the four girls were all there, and they had lunch with the old lady.

When the old lady saw her, she frowned, "Why did you come back?"

"Mother said this, I went with the Queen Mother to pray for blessings, and when the Queen Mother returned to the palace, I naturally went home. Liu Yunxiang said with a smile.

Xue snorted, "Didn't you want to become a nun?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You said this, second sister-in-law?"

"What are you pretending to be confused, it's clearly ......"

"Alright, shut up!" the old lady glared at Xue.

Xue knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly lowered his head to eat.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the dining table, he used to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but now he has a plate of meat dishes and two plates of vegetarian dishes.

"Yo, just in time for dinner, my daughter-in-law accompanies my mother to eat. ”

Liu Yunxiang was about to sit down, but the old lady snorted, "No, I see that you are upset, hurry back to your own courtyard, don't run to the front yard if you have anything to do." ”

Liu Yunxiang pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

"Bear it when you're hungry, I don't have your food here!"

Liu Yunxiang stood up and saw that the rest of the people were hurrying to eat, as if she was afraid that she would rob them of their jobs.

The second son is full of poetry and books, very cultivated, and eats wolf-like at the moment. The third son is strong and healthy, and he can't raise his head at the moment, but the fourth girl looks at her, but she gloats.

The eldest lady was so sick that she could only take care of herself, and the second master stood up to the sky and bent over this bowl of rice at this moment.

In the last life, she didn't miss a bite of food from them!

"Third brother and sister, the Hou Mansion does not raise idlers. Xue sneered.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Who is not an idler?"

"But some people are from the Hou Mansion, and some people are outsiders after all. ”

Heh, she's an outsider?

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Then I, an outsider, will leave first, and you can eat well." ”

Leaving the East Courtyard, Liu Yunxiang was not angry, he just thought it was funny. Back in the side courtyard, Jin Yan had already cooked the meal.

Cooked a pot of rice porridge, a plate of green vegetables, and a plate of salted meat.

In the evening, Zijin came back with a pair of fresh lamb chops.

It turned out that there were sheep keepers at home, and they couldn't afford to buy food, so they killed their own sheep and exchanged mutton and lamb chops for food.

"It's not easy to put this fresh, let's roast it at night, right?" Jin Yan turned his head and asked Liu Yunxiang.

"Roast it, satisfy your cravings. ”

As soon as he heard that there were grilled lamb chops to eat, Zijin was happy to help.

Jin Yan said: "You go to the Orchid Garden to pick up the five girls first." ”

Zijin took a sip of saliva: "Okay." ”

A charcoal fire was set up in the courtyard, and soon the smoke rose, and then the aroma of barbecue also overflowed, and it drifted over the high wall to the east courtyard.

The fourth girl, who was eating in the old lady's courtyard, sniffed hard, "Who's roasting lamb chops?"

Xue knocked on her head, "You're confused!"

The fourth girl flattened her mouth, "It's really fragrant." ”

"Hurry up and eat, or the greens will be gone." ”

There was still a plate of meat dishes at noon, and only two plates of green vegetables were left in the evening.

The old lady ate a few bites, but she really had no appetite.

"The old body can smell the smell of meat. ”

As soon as the old lady said this, the others began to echo it.

"It's really fragrant!"

"Isn't it the warden next door?"

"No, they borrowed food from us yesterday!"

The old lady asked Yulian to go outside to take a look, and after a while, she came back with a somewhat ugly face.

"Which one?" asked the old lady.

Yulian paused for a moment and said, "It seems to be the third lady." ”
