Chapter 29 Instigation
She comes from a world hundreds or even thousands of years in the future. It is biased to use modern standards to measure the quality of Xu's father and Xu's mother.

The cognitive differences of the times are like an insurmountable gap. Not only today, but we will encounter more in the future.

Perhaps she will have to struggle with this cognitive gap throughout her life.

She sighed slightly, but there was no sad look on her face. She just said lightly: "Since everyone is not ashamed of the materials I exchanged for my marriage and my kindness, I don't want to force it. It happened that this batch of materials was given to me. After snatching it away, it is up to you to decide how you want to live your life in the future. Here, I give you the ointment, which is my last contribution to the Xu family."

Xu Zhenying handed over the ointment.

There was still such a leisurely look on her face, and now Aunt Mei didn't dare to reach out to take it.

Xu Zhenying smiled, but his tone was inexplicably oppressive, "You take what I give you. Remember to return it to the Fang family after you use it."

Xu Zhenying put down his things and left.

Grandma said sullenly: "What did this girl say? What did everyone mean by their own abilities? She said it as if she wanted to separate from us. She has such a bad temper that I don't know who to follow."

Xu Degui felt vaguely that something flew out of his palm, and felt that his father's authority was being challenged. He felt uneasy but refused to keep it.

Miao looked at her husband for a while, and then at Xu Zhenying's back. She bit her teeth lightly and stomped her feet to catch up, but Xu Degui caught her, "Why are you chasing her? Let her run, she is so undisciplined." , probably because you are too indulgent."

Miao's heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire. She didn't want to make her husband unhappy, but she felt wronged for her daughter, "Master, why do you say that? Even if it's inappropriate for her to exchange her marriage for supplies privately, you can't get those things from you." You've already used it, so how can you bite back and ask if Ying'er is here? Besides, the Zheng family forced Ying'er to be their concubine, making it clear that they planned to break off the engagement. What Qing Ying did at that time was inappropriate, but What else can we do? Is it possible to tell the Zheng family what is right and wrong?"

Xu Degui was speechless for a moment. He rubbed his neck and said: "As the saying goes, a son will not tell his father's faults and a minister will not expose the emperor's evil. Even if her elders have done something wrong, she cannot be so merciless. The daughter of an ordinary family. If you break off the engagement, you will be so ashamed that you can't even lift your head. Look at her, she is so sharp and sharp in public, what will people outside think of our Xu family——"

Miao turned around and said angrily: "Where are the outsiders from? Do you think we are still in Bianjing City now? Look around you, there are a bunch of exiled criminals, how can they care about my family's affairs - "

"Spoiling a child is like killing a child. How can you just indulge and pamper her? Look at her temperament that has changed drastically in the past few days. She wants to be strong in everything and has big ideas. She just asked her second brother like this, where is the once docile and well-behaved person? What does it look like? If you don’t discipline me harshly, will you go against the grain?”

Xu Zhenying didn't care about the quarrel between Xu's father and Xu's mother, so she turned around and walked out.

The accommodation at night is Datongpu in the post station, which is specially prepared for exiled prisoners. The conditions are as you can imagine.

The dilapidated windows were in disrepair and were crumbling. The mattress was yellow, and there were only cracked mats underneath. The surface of the bamboo was oily, and I don't know how many people had slept on it.She could smell it from a long way away, and she didn't want to go in even if she pinched her nose.

More people were on fire and gathered around, planning to put on their clothes and spend the night outside.

In the evening, the guards were not careful enough, so they took off their shackles and went to the inn to eat.

The cost of being a fugitive in the Zhou Dynasty was very high. Under such harsh conditions of the household registration management system, it was almost impossible to move forward without household registration, and you could only hide and hide all your life.Therefore, the guards were not worried about anyone escaping.

Liu Jiejie entered the house, Huang Yazi followed closely behind, stamping his feet, and the fire jumped.

Huang Yazi quickly walked over and squatted down, close to the fire. His teeth were chattering with the cold, and he cursed: "Damn it, how come it's so cold in October? It's been getting colder every year in the past few years. Bianjing City More and more people are fleeing from the north, and if this continues, the price of food will rise again next year."

There is a pot of porridge on the wooden table in the room, along with several pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

Those who had just entered the house had obviously eaten and went to the second floor to choose rooms with better conditions.

The job of exile is hard, with many difficulties and dangers along the way, and you may even lose half your life.Therefore, only people from poor families dared to try this kind of work. They also had to be in good health, otherwise they would not be able to survive in the exile.

Fortunately, there were always prisoners who continued to take care of the prisoners along the way. Although the journey was long, the rewards were rich, so many people were willing to take risks.

Liu Laoshiwu moved a ladle and sat down, then scooped two more spoons of hot porridge. He handed one bowl to Huang Yazi and held the other bowl himself.

Huang Yazi took it and took a look. The white rice porridge was clear and watery, with a few wild vegetable leaves mixed in. He cursed again: "It's so watery, why are you sending a beggar away?!"

Liu Laoshi smiled slightly, held Huang Yazi's shoulders, and narrowed his eyes into a line, "Brother Huang, don't worry, I have something good."

As he said this, he turned around and walked outside. The cold wind blew in, and Huang Yazi shouted: "Lao Lao Liu, why don't you close the door..."

"Hey!" He stood up tremblingly and was about to close the door when he saw Liu Laoshi walking towards him with two bags in his hand. Huang Yazi took a look and recognized that they were the Xu family's things.

It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Xu family was exiled, and what they took away must be good things.

Huang Yazi's eyes became a line, "Oh, it's really good. Bring it over and let me take a look. Is there anything to eat?"

Liu Laoshi threw it over in the air, and Huang Yazi immediately opened the baggage. When he saw that there was everything in the baggage, including a few steamed buns, dried meat, and some pickles, he immediately took it out and wolfed down the bowl of porridge, chewing it and saying : "These scumbag officials will have a better life in exile than us. If I had known, I should have given them more whips just now. I hate corrupt officials the most in my life."

Liu Laoshi also chewed the dried meat hard, but did not answer Huang Yazi's words. He only said: "We will divide the Xu family's things later. I see there are a few boxes of medicine in it. They are all from Huichun Hall. I guess they are not It’s cheap. Send it to Team Leader Zhao.”

"Yo." Huang Yazi's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and as soon as his mind turned around, he smiled and said, "You are trying to drag all of us into the water. Come on, such a good thing is wasted for the Xu family. It's not as good as us. If you use it, it will be used to eliminate harm for the people."

Liu Laoshi patted Huang Yazi on the shoulder and chuckled, "Brother Huang is right. The Xu family is not a good thing. I heard that their girls got these things in exchange for their own marriage. You In such a turbulent time, who would dare to marry someone who has offended Uncle Zhu Guo? It is natural for people to break off the engagement, but the Xu family refused and had to extort hundreds of taels of silver from them before they let go. You Are you saying this is taking advantage of the situation?"
