Chapter 198: The official road is blocked
Chu Ye and Chu Jiao won the praise of their eldest sister-in-law, and their hearts bloomed like butterflies, happily setting the dishes and chopsticks.
Jiang Xinyan walked up to the eldest princess's grandmother and Jin Niang, "Grandmother, mother, it's early!" ”
"Yan'er, Xuan'er Zao, this cloak grandmother likes it very much, thank you."
"Grandmother is polite! When the weather is cold, you and your mother should take care of your body. ”
"Don't worry, Yan'er, my mother will take care of your grandmother, let's go over for breakfast."
Breakfast was made by Chu Wan and several cousins-in-law and daughters-in-law in the second room.
Chu Hua and Chu Fang were making clothes early in the morning, and Chu Fang was naturally made by her sister who pulled her together.
The sisters were very good, and made a long cloth with some cotton from the sky blue fabric.
Sleeveless, with a neck tie, draped over the shoulders to protect against the wind and cold, and a long hood like the cloaks worn by rich ladies and ladies.
The rabbit fur cape of the eldest princess's grandmother and Jin Niang is a hooded cloak.
Because it was sleeveless, it was done quickly, and the sisters made four pieces each in one morning.
Aunt Chu has one, and the women in their second room each have one.
The third aunt and the fifth aunt also made two each, one for each of them, and one for Chu Wan.
Chu Wan saw that there was one more, so she gave it to Luo Yuqi, who was the sister of her life-saving benefactor.
Luo Yuqi was flattered, and the snub he received from Zhao Yu was instantly cured.
"Thank you, Sister Chu Wan, with this big coat, I won't be afraid of any cold."
The grandmother of the eldest princess was very happy to see that the women in the big room and the second room had a big house.
This October day, the day is fine, especially the night in the north is already very cold.
She glanced at Jiang Xinyan and saw that Jiang Xinyan was not happy, and the eldest princess grandmother was unhappy in her heart.
"Yan'er, why don't you have it yourself?"
"Grandmother, don't worry, my husband said that I will hunt fox fur to make a cloak."
In Jiang Xinyan's memory, there was a pure white fox fur cloak in her dowry.
It's just that she hasn't had time to rummage through it yet, so she doesn't say it at all.
Chu Lixuan remembered that she liked the cloak made of fox fur, and she said that she liked pure black and red.
Foxes, only white and red are the purest, gray and black are almost all variegated fur, white nine-tailed foxes and fire foxes are more difficult to encounter.
However, it was not a matter for him, Chu Lixuan stood quietly beside her, doting on her and laughing.
There were still bones last night, so breakfast was a gnocchi soup made of bones.
Each person has a bamboo tube, and now it has become a wanderer to share the food, and the officials obediently hold the bamboo tube and take the soup to eat silently.
Chu Lixiang squatted beside Jiang Xinyan and them, "Sister-in-law, when I grow up, I will buy beautiful clothes for you to wear." ”
"Brother Xiang, I'm optimistic about you, waiting for your beautiful clothes."
"Does Grandmother have any beautiful clothes to wear?" The grandmother of the eldest princess joked about the little grandson.
Jin Niang also teased her youngest son: "Xiang'er, when you grow up, you bought it for your sister-in-law, so what about your grandmother and mother?" ”
Chu Lixiang touched his nose, grandmother and mother, he really didn't think about it!
Do you want to say yes? But how much silver does that get! Can you earn that much?
Chu Lixiang frowned and struggled, he didn't know how funny his little appearance was in everyone's eyes.
Jiang Xinyan's heart is cute! She held back her laughter and felt uncomfortable, she was afraid that laughing would hit the cute baby.
Chu Lixuan looked at his little wife's shoulders trembling, he was not happy, and was about to talk about his little brother.
"There must be both! My grandmother and mother have them, but they are cheaper than my sister-in-law's, and I'm afraid I won't be able to earn so much silver. ”
"Hahaha......"
"Hehe......"
The grandmother of the eldest princess smiled, her eyes full of tears, and her face was full of folds.
Jin Niang looked at it with a smile on her face, the little son who looked like her husband.
Jiang Xinyan smiled back, this cute baby is still an iron Hanhan!
Why are you so honest? Is that really good? Won't your mother and your grandmother be jealous?
Even the daughters-in-law and Chu Yue in the second room laughed and burst into tears.
Chu Lixuan never knew that his younger brother would be so stupid, he was still quite clever before!
was cared for by his little wife, and the old and serious things that Chu Lixiang had before were gone!
That's what the little wife said, it's innocent and childlike, that's it! As long as everyone is happy.
Especially, as long as the little wife is happy, it is not a matter if a Chu Lixiang does not grow up.
Breakfast ended in a burst of laughter, and everyone packed up and hurried away.
Zhao Yu taught everyone early in the morning how to tie the quilt and carry it on the back.
Jiang Xinyan looked at the team in front of her, and there was really a trace of the marching team in the TV series of the era.
The team moved forward quickly, walked for two hours, and saw the official road at the gate of Jicheng Mansion.
The refugees who fled the famine sat on the official road, their clothes ragged, their eyes glazed over, and their faces full of despair.
This official road is at least fifty miles away from the city gate.
From here to the gate of Jicheng Mansion, there are dense refugees, and you can imagine how many people there are.
The city gates have been closed for more than 40 days, and the refugees have not had a drop of food.
There were no bodies on the side of the road, not even bones, presumably these people were just ...... survived.
Jiang Xinyan saw a woman holding a child of a few years old in her arms, and now she was so hungry and skinny that she couldn't tell her specific age.
The woman held the child tightly and did not let go, as if she would be snatched by someone else as soon as she let go.
Jiang Xinyan took a closer look, the child had already lost his breath, but the woman just wouldn't let go.
Jiang Xinyan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, the refugees were just chanting words, and they couldn't hear what they were saying.
They hate the injustice of fate! But there is nothing to be done.
Chu Lixuan hugged Jiang Xinyan, flew to a high place, and then looked at the city gate.
On the city of Jicheng Mansion, the soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands, and looked at the ragged and skinny refugees under the city with a wary expression.
The people in the city were expressionless, some looked indifferent, and some looked in a trance.
There is nothing left in their eyes except the idea of living.
If there was no locust plague, these people would not be so desperate, and the road would not be so miserable.
I no longer saw the smoke curling from the cooking, and the hard-working people, those who picked firewood, and those who drove cars.
Those, particularly vivid and beautiful, like a painting landscape, seem to be gone forever!
That picture was only seen a few days before Jiang Xinyan first came to this ancient world!
It's a pity that she wasn't in the mood to watch it at that time, when she stabilized her mind.
What I saw was the Shura field in front of me, which was full of refugees and now there were no corpses.
"Husband, what should we do, this is obviously not going to go?"
Jiang Xinyan asked worriedly, they can't walk over, if they cook something to eat, all these tens of thousands of people will come around, how is it good?
