As her words fell, the sound of broken porcelain came from the wall of the king's car, and in a moment, Anu lifted the curtain and walked out with a bitter face, holding a broken teacup in one hand.

Xia Jing gave him a helpless look, and walked away, she was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would be so angry that King Qian really raised an eight-meter-long big knife to cut her.

With the established route, the chief of the guard and Zeng Yan have a bottom in their hearts, and they will be more orderly in arranging things.

On the way, we passed through several villages, all of which were deserted.

The only surprise was that there was water in the village's well, a discovery that lifted the team's spirits and everyone seemed to see the end of the drought.

"Mother, we passed through several villages, why is there water in the well in the village, but the whole village is empty? Where are the villagers of these villages? ”

At night, the team was placed in a village, and Li Chengmu sat in a dilapidated and low house and asked Xia Jing.

Xia Jing took a bite of the multigrain cake, listened to her son's question, and didn't think her son was stupid, so she waited for swallowing before patiently answering: "We have come all the way, you should see a lot of homeless people." Imagine what you would do if you were a starving homeless with black eyes and suddenly saw this village. ”

"This ......"

Li Chengmu was born in the palace where he suffered hardships, and the only time he endured hardships since he was a child was probably this escape. This kind of multigrain cake in his hand would not even be eaten by the servants below in the palace before.

Because he fled the capital in a hurry and suffered bandits on the road, he lost more than half of his supplies, and his life was naturally more frugal than before.

He pondered for a long time before he said what he thought in his heart, "In the case of hunger and thirst, I may rush into the village to find food, and when I have eaten and drunk enough, I will reward some silver money......

"Poof!"

Hearing his words, the first girl who couldn't help laughing out loud was Bai Mei.

Li Chengmu turned his head and asked her, "Why are you laughing?" Could it be that the answer is not right? ”

Xia Jing's smile was shallow, and she didn't stop the maid from talking.

Bai Mei lit up the oil lamp a little, put down the scissors and replied with a smile: "As soon as I heard the words of the fifth master, I knew that you were a person who had never suffered hardships, and you thought of human nature too kindly. ”

"Really?" Li Chengmu was obviously unconvinced, "If it is the master, he will definitely reward the villagers for eating the food, this is the principle of the master's consistent life." ”

Bai Mei nodded like pounding garlic, "Well, the character of those homeless people naturally can't be compared with Ye." But the slave and maid experienced fleeing when they were children, and they knew how terrible the homeless people were, and the hungry and crazy homeless people were like the jackals in the mountains, and they would not be humble and courteous like the fifth master when they entered the village, they only wanted to take everything they could eat and use for themselves! Burning, killing and looting are commonplace. ”

"That ......" Li Chengmu has limited experience, he has never really seen the suffering of the world, and he can't imagine this kind of picture in his mind, "Then the displaced people we saw along the way are not as terrible as you said?" ”

Along the way, the homeless people in Li Chengmu's eyes, pitiful is really pitiful, but I have never seen the fierce side, Rao is melee that night, he was also well protected, and he did not directly face the homeless people.

Everything that happened that night was just a few words from other people's mouths.

Xia Jing listened to his words and shook her head, "How much darkness in the world have you seen at such a young age?" The reason why the displaced people did not show their fierce side in front of you is because we have strong enough force to suppress you, if you change your identity to an ordinary commoner, as long as you show a steamed bun or a cake in front of them, do you believe it or not, they will pounce and eat you as a cake? ”

Li Chengmu shuddered all over, scratched his nose in disdain, "Mother, I believe it." ”

Xia Jing warned: "Well, don't think of people's hearts too kindly, but don't think of people's hearts too badly!" When you make friends, you should watch more, listen and talk less, leave yourself three points of leeway when you talk and do things, and don't let others treat you a little better, and you will dig out your heart and lungs to people and turn your old bottom upside down. ”

"Oh, got it." Li Chengmu's brows tightened, as if he was digesting Xia Jing's words of warning just now.

Xia Jing ignored him and started eating seriously.

Hongmei looked at Xia Jing's serious eating, and then glanced at the coarse tea and light rice on the table, feeling distressed.

"The further south you go, the more water you should have, and now that you have found that there is water in the wells in both villages, you should be able to eat green vegetables in a little while, and you can hold on for a few more days," she reassured. ”

"Well, I'm not picky when it comes to eating."

After dinner, Li Chengmu went back to rest first, and Hongmei came in with tea, "Princess, it's still early, I finally found a village with well water to rest, do you want to invite the prince to come over and accompany you...... Well, moon viewing? ”

Xia Jing raised her eyes to look at the night without moonlight outside, and said with a smile: "Hehe, this concubine doesn't have Yaxing without you." ”

Hongmei smiled, "Hehe, Yaxing is cultivated, Yaxing depends on who you are with, if you have the princess to accompany the princess, you will definitely have Yaxing." ”

"It seems that you know myself better than this concubine." Xia Jing shook her head helplessly, this girl is not very old, but she the heart of an old woman.

Hongmei poured tea and stood up happily, "The slave maid went to invite the prince over." ”

"Sit down!" Xia Jing is funny and angry, why does this girl always think about how to help herself invite pets?

"Princess......" Hongmei sat down reluctantly.

"Someone's there for him tonight?"

"Hmm."

"Who? Sun or Wang? Or which? ”

Hongmei looked at Xia Jing's eight seals with surprise, "Princess, aren't you angry?" ”

"What's angry?" Xia Jing touched her pretty face, "Don't you know that it's easy to get old when you're angry?" So in order to maintain your appearance, your master and I will not get along with myself. ”

"It's Aunt Sun." Hongmei frustrated and lifted the teapot to help her pour tea.

"It's her." Xia Jing felt that this person was a Xiaoqiang attribute, "Her face is swollen?" ”

"Even if her face isn't fully recovered, just puff on some powder."

These words almost made Xia Jing choke, "Ahem, you girl is telling the truth." Go and see if the water of Baimei is boiled, and the concubine is going to bathe. ”

After Xia Jing finished bathing, she dragged her tired body and just lay down on the bed, when Bai Mei came in to report, "Princess, the Marquis of Changping is here." ”

"Marquis Changping?" Xia Jing sat up and looked at the sky outside, "It's so late, why didn't I hear the sound of horses' hooves?" ”

The Marquis of Changping definitely didn't come alone, a family came, and the number of horses alone was considerable, and so many horses could be heard even if they were outside the village.

"It's the messenger of the Marquis of Changping, and the large army of the Marquis of Changping is still ten miles away. Princess, do you want to get up? ”

Xia Jingjiao pulled her shoes and got out of bed, "Let's get up, my in-laws always have to greet them when they visit late at night." ”

When the two maids heard this, they hurriedly went to find clothes and jewelry to wear when they went out to entertain guests.
