Walking along this river, it takes about a day to enter the boundary of Qingyuan County.

Of course Qi Huan didn't plan to leave, he could go, but Ke Xi couldn't.

So Qi Huan tied up a bamboo raft.

The river was a little rushed, but Qi Huan could easily control the direction, and Ke Xi looked at Qi Huan with bright eyes.

"Master Qi, why do you even know this?"

"If you learn it, you will."

Qi Huan replied casually, Ke Xi didn't think much about it, he just thought that Qi Huan would go to study if he suddenly wanted to.

Ke Xi sighed: "Lord Qi's hobby is quite special. ”

Qi Huan smiled and did not speak.

With the bamboo raft, the two arrived at the boundary of Qingyuan County in less than half a day, a village called Xiaoyuan Village.

There is a clear difference between Qingyuan County and Lin'an County.

Some parts of the village outside the county have been flooded, some houses have collapsed, and there are no people in sight, so the two of them walked to the county seat of Qingyuan County, and along the way there were refugees rushing to Cangzhou City from other places.

The two went to the county seat, which was also affected by the disaster, and the two went to a makeshift shelter where many victims were taken in, as well as a soup kitchen.

Just in time for someone to give porridge, the two went to ask for a bowl.

Ke Xi held the porridge and burst into tears: "I didn't expect that I would have a day to beg for porridge." ”

At that time, Ke Xi had already changed out of the luxurious brocade and satin, wearing an ordinary linen dress and hemp skirt, without a delicate hairstyle, with messy hair, and his face was also smeared by Qi Huan with mud so that he couldn't see the original appearance clearly.

Qi Huan was not much better, at first glance, the two were no different from ordinary victims.

Although the porridge in the bowl was not thick, it was not too thin, Qi Huan quickly drank it, and when he heard Ke Xi say this, he rubbed her hair: "Regret it?" ”

To be honest, Ke Xi has never drunk such a thin white porridge, and nothing is added to the white porridge, and the taste of drinking water directly is stronger than the taste of this bowl of porridge.

But if you ask Ke Xi and don't regret it......

Ke Xi shook his head: "Since you have decided to do it, there is nothing to regret, you can help too much...... Brother, I'm very happy, and ......" Ke Xi suddenly couldn't control his whole body and trembled, "I've eaten something even more unpalatable, and the result will be unforgettable!" ”

Qi Huan looked at Ke Xi suspiciously, he couldn't believe that Princess Pingle of the golden branches and jade leaves had eaten something unpalatable, so much so that she was thrilled at the thought of it.

"My mother."

The imperial concubine is also from small to noble, and her ten fingers do not touch the spring water.

It may be that life is too simple and unpretentious, and the imperial concubine finds it boring, so she wants to learn to cook.

Thinking about it, being able to cook a meal for the people around her to eat, the imperial concubine is like being beaten with chicken blood, regardless of everyone's obstruction, and plunges into it.

The palace maid couldn't stop it, so she went to ask the emperor for help.

The emperor is also favored, and it is a fantasy to let the emperor take care of the imperial concubine.

That night, the imperial concubine made a table of colorful and fragrant dinners, and invited the queen mother, the emperor, the crown prince and Ke Xi to taste it together.

When the queen mother saw a table of dishes, she praised the imperial concubine for her talent.

No one expected that this exquisite, good-looking and delicious meal would fit into their mouths......

At this time, the young Ke Xi didn't know how to hide, so he took a bite and spit it out directly, with tears in his eyes.

The imperial concubine felt that Ke Xi didn't know how to appreciate it, and looked at the queen mother expectantly.

The Queen Mother took a bite, swallowed it without changing her face, said that she was full, and ran away with Ke Xi.

The prince didn't eat a bite, put down the chopsticks and said that there was still homework to be done, and he would rush back to do it.

The emperor was left alone, facing the expectant eyes of the imperial concubine, and he couldn't take half of the steps, so he could only sit down, grab a piece of pork ribs and eat it, and in the imperial concubine's more expectant eyes, he said something that tasted very good.

The imperial concubine was particularly moved, and in the end, most of the dishes on the table were eaten by the emperor.

The three grandparents and grandchildren who peeked outside were touched by the emperor, which is really a touching love story.

It's just that this love story hurts the ass a little.

They don't know how many times the emperor ran to the thatched house afterwards, but Ke Xi and the prince's buttocks hurt for a few days, and Ke Xi remembered it clearly.

Thinking of the funny things from the past, Ke Xi couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, I don't remember how unpleasant it was, but I remember that my butt hurt."

Qi Huan looked at Ke Xi with a smile, and there was a look in his eyes that Ke Xi couldn't understand.

It is much closer to Cangzhou City from Qingyuan County than from Lin'an County to Cangzhou City, and it only takes two hours to walk.

After filling their stomachs and resting for a while, the two set off.

When passing by a place, Ke Xi saw a woman kneeling there to bury her father.

The people around were pointing and pointing, and some people lamented that the woman was pitiful, but no one went up to help.

There are too many poor people in the world, and now there are floods, and the money to buy food is not enough, who has the spare money to buy an extra mouth to go back?

And this woman sells it too expensive! For ten taels of silver, you can buy several such maids when you go to the tooth shop.

Ke Xi came out this time and learned a lot, according to the decree promulgated by Daliang, the price of a pound of white rice is 25 yuan, and the price of bran rice is 8 yuan a catty.

The common people farm, and the harvest of a strong laborer's crops a year is about one or two to three taels, and this woman sells ten trucks for silver, and ordinary people can't help if they want to.

What's more, now is a time when everyone is in danger and taking care of themselves?

Ke Xi quietly asked Qi Huan, how much money does it cost ordinary people to hold a funeral, and only after asking did he react, Lord Qi shouldn't know what this is, just what he wanted to say, Qi Huan spoke first.

"Ordinary people buy funerals, one or two pieces of silver are enough, and in the current situation, it is almost enough to have a coffin to use."

That is, it costs no more than one or two.

Ke Xi looked at Qi Huan and stopped talking.

It was Qi Huan, seeing Ke Xi's appearance, as if he guessed what she wanted to ask, and said: "When my mother died, I did it for her, so I was clearer." ”

Ke Xi didn't say anything more, just took Qi Huan's hand and held it tighter.

Although now that he thinks about it, he doesn't have much to do with it, after all, too much time has passed, and he has to forget what that woman looks like.

But Ke Xi felt sorry for him, and he was still very useful.

Qi Huan rubbed the back of Ke Xi's hand with his thumb.

Ke Xi was afraid that Qi Huan would be sad when he remembered the past, so he changed the topic: "Then why does this woman sell her body for ten taels of silver?" Didn't she know that for ten taels of silver, ordinary people wouldn't buy her? ”

"So she's not just waiting for ordinary people."

Ke Xi didn't understand what Qi Huan meant at first, until a richly dressed boy in the back paid to buy her, and Ke Xi understood.

Ke Xi can't say anything, everyone has their own way of living, that girl looks pretty good, and it is normal for people to want to sell themselves into a rich family.

Who wouldn't want to live a little better?

As long as you don't steal or rob, it's also people's ability to live a good life.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.
