The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 134 Different
Jingli, who was scolded by Chen's mother, was leading a large group of people to set up cars and prepare to take everyone to the city to purchase new year's goods.

It was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and every time Wan Baoquan went out, he would buy some food and stock it up. There was no shortage of food at home, but every household had to buy something during the New Year, so everyone had to divide into groups and take turns to go to the county to buy.

Today it is Jingli's turn to take Aunt Fatty's family, Widow Qin, and Mrs. Zhang's family to go shopping.

Mrs. Zhang's four-year-old grandson woke up as soon as she left the house. She chased him out crying and howling all the way, insisting on following his grandma and grandma to the city. Mrs. Zhang didn't want to do anything about it, so she lay on the ground and acted like a fool. Rolling.

It hasn't snowed in the past two days, and the snow on the ground has begun to melt. When people step on it, it is covered in mud. When the child rolls around, he is covered in mud and turns into a rogue mud monkey.

Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law was so angry that she grabbed the child's butt and slapped her several times: "I asked you to follow, I asked you to follow, will you still follow?"

The child was just stubborn. After being beaten, he ran over and grabbed Mrs. Zhang's clothes: "Grandma! Good grandma, please take me there. I've never been to the city."

Madam Zhang coaxed her little grandson: "Come on, I'll take you there. You should hurry up and change your clothes. This dirty look will make people in the city laugh at us!"

The little grandson burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly took his sister's hand and went back to the house to change clothes. Seeing the little grandson enter the house, Mrs. Zhang said: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't let this little monkey delay us on our way."

Dalang flicked his whip, and the mule cart started running creakingly in the snow.

The fat aunt laughed: "Little Piggy will come out and see no one, so he must be so angry that he can't eat!"

Mrs. Zhang pulled her hat and covered her ears: "Little Bi Zai, no matter what he does, it's better to save money by not eating. These babies have never been hungry. If we hadn't escaped here, we would probably starve to death this year. The cub and the old man."

Widow Qin said softly: "In the first month and in the twelfth month, we look back at the end. We are living a prosperous life now, but we don't want to talk about life and death anymore, because we have to ruin the good days."

The fat aunt nodded: "Yes, Aunt Qin is right. Our days are getting better and better, but we don't want to say bad things. Zhang Erniang, what are you going to buy today?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled so hard that she showed her teeth: "I want to pull some cotton cloth to make some new clothes for the little ones at home. My ex-son, Ah Li, gave us all the cloth given by the nobleman. We thought the cloth was really good. I will save it for my eldest granddaughter to wear when she gets married. My daughter-in-law is not happy, saying that her granddaughter knows how to save money, so she asked her to make clothes for me and her father. My daughter-in-law feels sorry for us as an old person, and we should also feel sorry for our younger ones. .”

Widow Qin patted Mrs. Zhang's hand and said: "Sister is right, this family is harmonious and beautiful than anything else. Ah Li held a meeting and said that the family must be united and harmonious. I know she is afraid of us. These old people are embarrassing their daughters-in-law, if you ask me, then Nizi thinks too much, we are all busy making money now, who has nothing to argue about all day long."

The fat aunt also followed: "What you ladies are saying is that no one is making noise all day long nowadays. If you have the time, why not earn more money? Now, I just want to take advantage of these good days to give Da Lang some money." Save some money for your wife.”

"Ah Li is being unfair, otherwise life would be so wonderful these days!" Mrs. Zhang rubbed the hemp rope. She was afraid that there would be too many things to buy later and she would have to tie them to the roof of the car, leaving her free in the car. If you have nothing to do, do something.

Widow Qin sighed: "Her family is considered to be well off, otherwise they wouldn't be able to support such a scholar, but now I don't know whether they are dead or alive."

At the entrance a few hundred miles away, Mrs. Jing's hair was gray and her clothes were already torn into strips. She knelt in front of the city guard: "My lord, please be kind and let us go in. Don't stay any longer." I will starve and freeze to death if I go down there.”

The city guard had an expression on his face: "How many times have I told you, the pass is full and we can't squeeze in anymore. Don't bother us anymore. If you come again, be careful I won't be rude to you."

"Grandma, let's go back. If we make people angry again, we'll probably beat them up!" Jing Song stepped forward and helped Mrs. Jing back.Some of the refugees huddled in the piles under the city wall had died of cold and starvation, and all their clothes had been ripped off.

He shrank indifferently in the corner, and Jing Nan carefully leaned next to her: "Mom, I'm so cold and hungry!"

Jing Ruhong said to her younger brother with red eyes: "Anan, please stop annoying me, I feel uncomfortable!"

Jing Nan whispered: "I'm sad too. I miss my dad very much."

The siblings couldn't stop crying when they talked about their father Jing Laosan. Their family followed Jing Song's words and went to the fiefdom of King Nanyang.

On the way, they met the King of Nanyang recruiting soldiers, and the family fled in a hurry. Jing Laosan was beaten to death by the refugees while trying to find water for his family.

Jing Ru glanced at the main room with resentment. The brothers went to fetch water together, but everyone in their family made excuses not to go. As a result, her father was beaten to death because he was alone.

Sun's eldest daughter-in-law took out a black flour pancake and said, "Grandma, this is just one pancake, how do you divide it?"

Mrs. Jing curled her lips and glared: "What's the share? Keep it for Asong. As long as Asong is allowed into the city, everything will be easy to handle. Otherwise, the whole family will starve to death here."

The eldest daughter-in-law swallowed her saliva and silently put the pancake back into the bag, thinking to herself: Aren't scholars very powerful? Why did people ignore him when he talked in the past.

The city gate suddenly opened, and a very well-dressed steward came out. The city guard hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Steward Wang, thank you for your hard work! It's freezing cold. If you need anything, just give me a shout. Why do you have to go all the way?"

Manager Wang put his hands in his sleeves: "Doing things for my master, there's no such thing as hard work! Is there anything better at the gate today?"

The city guard pointed at Mrs. Jing's family: "There are two girls in that family who seem to be doing fine, but the rest of them, tsk tsk! They're too much to wipe the floor for nobles!"

Manager Wang raised his eyelids slightly: "Go, call over and let me take a look!"

The city guard quickly followed the wall and arrived in front of Mrs. Jing's family: "Old lady, I'm a soft-hearted person. I think your family is really pitiful. Let's do it this way. Now there's a noble person asking for someone. You can take your family over there to have a look." , is there such an opportunity?"

Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Sun hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: "Sir, you are a Bodhisattva who came down from heaven. I thank you for your great kindness!"

The city guard twitched his lips and pointed at Manager Wang: "Don't be too busy thanking me yet. The Bodhisattva is over there, so don't worship the wrong person."

Mrs. Jing hurriedly brought her family over and knelt down in front of Manager Wang: "Sir, thank you for your kindness in taking our family in. I kowtow to you!"

After Mrs. Jing finished speaking, she led the whole family and kowtowed in the snow. Manager Wang frowned and asked the city guard: "Why don't I just pick two little girls? There are so many people in this family to do this." What?"
