The yamen servant in front naturally heard the commotion here. Yin Tang went to a nearby village to fetch water. What came over was Yin Tang's colleague, holding a long braid in his hand and swinging it towards Mrs. Huang from a distance. Come over.

Mrs. Huang was so shocked that she directly pulled the concubine up from the ground and stood in front of her.

The long whip hit the concubine's waist directly, even tearing her clothes.

The concubine clutched her waist and pulled her clothes, not daring to cry, but her tears rolled down one by one. She didn't know whether it was because she was crying in pain or because she was embarrassed.

The yamen officer approached with a dark face, and he knew something was going on here when he saw the rice cake crumbs on the corners of the mouths of the two gentlemen who were hiding behind the old lady of the Huang family.

"It's you who are causing trouble here again!" the Yamen servant roared impatiently at the Huang family and his group, "Since your Huang family is already self-sufficient, we don't need to give you this lunch!"

After saying that, regardless of the Huang family's begging for mercy, the yamen officer looked at Ke Muqing, his attitude was not much better, he just didn't use the whip.

"Even if you are relatives of Yin Tang, stay away from me! Don't cause trouble for me!"

After saying that, the man rolled up his whip and went back to wait for his men to cook.

Ke Muqing returned to her carriage with a few frightened children in her arms. The government servant whipped them, frightening the children.

Although the whip did not hit the children, it hit them directly on their historical cognition.

Judging from the yamen servant's complexion, Ke Muqing guessed that he came from the capital. His skin was tanned by exposure to the sun and the weather. In addition, he had traveled a long way and his temper was getting worse day by day.

Ke Huanzhang and others also rushed over and asked, "Sister, are the children okay?"

Ke Baoxuan rushed over, tears streaming down her face, "Dad, it's so dangerous outside. When can we get to Linzhou?"

Zhang Lingyi and his sister-in-law Lin Shufu also came over. Zhang Lingyi called his daughter Ke Baoxuan over, "Isn't it interesting to shout out this morning? We'll be fine if we don't get close to the exiled prisoners in the future."

Lin Shufu looked at the messy hair of the girls and sighed helplessly, "We don't want to get together with those uncivilized barbarians. Let's go with my aunt, and my aunt will comb your hair."

Lin Shufu walked to her carriage with a few girls in her arms. She was very handy, and the children liked her best to help them comb their hair.

Several young boys also chased after her, noisily saying that they also wanted to tie their hair into nice hair.

After the children had left, Ke Huanzhang and Ke Muqing cursed in a low voice, "The Huang family really has no education at all. Seeing that the girl is already fifteen years old, Mrs. Huang actually pulled the concubine out to block the whip? Those men?" You only care about your own food, and don’t care about your elders or your brothers and sisters. If you have raised such white-eyed wolves, it’s no wonder that the Huang family has been ruined in this generation."

Ke Muqing nodded in deep agreement.

There is a division of labor when it comes to cooking. The men set up a makeshift stove and collect firewood, while the women cook. After a while, the aroma of kung fu spreads.

Zheng Qiushuang came over to call Ke Muqing and the children, and Yin Tang came back with a horseback full of water bags.

"Yin Tang, it's just right. You can take some of the food here and give it to your colleagues to try. You can go to dad's place again." Ke Muqing called to Yin Tang, took a large porcelain bowl and filled it for Yin Tang. A bowl full of meat.

Yin Tang understood and took the bowl steadily before moving forward.

Several families have their stoves set up in the same row, and when the meal is called, everyone comes here. The happiest thing is Yang Chengzhuo, who eats food in turns. When he comes back, all the rice in the bowl is empty, he pats his belly and burps.

"Grandma, if you eat like this every day from now on, you will be so happy." Yang Chengzhuo never dared to think that he could be this happy about eating.

"What we have is sent to other families, and what other families have is sent to ours. What's the difference between this and sitting here eating at home? Look at how well you run, aren't your legs tired?" Yang Shuangshuang was very happy. I don’t understand where Yang Chengzhuo’s happiness comes from.

"I just like running around eating with a bowl in my arms like this. It's so fun." Yang Chengzhuo replied unconvinced, then turned around and added another half of the bowl of rice.

After dinner, Ke Muqing, the elder, only had to put down the bowls and chopsticks and go to the carriage to rest. The children had slept all morning and were very energetic now, but they couldn't sit still, so they followed Yang Sanqing and others. Wandering around.

Ke Xiuyu and Yang Chengzhi were quieter and less active, so they followed Ke Muqing back to the carriage.

The two of them were both eager to learn. When the carriage finally stopped, they took paper and pen to practice writing.

Ke Muqing simply guided the two of them from the sidelines. Although she herself was not good at writing, she was still competent at teaching beginners.

Mrs. Li San was very surprised to see this scene when she came with her maid, and was stunned outside the carriage.

This scene in the carriage also touched Mrs. Li San's memories of family reunions in the past, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Girl?" the maid reminded in a low voice, "Do you want to go back first?"

Seeing that the people in the carriage were already looking towards her, Mrs. Li San and her maid shook their heads slightly, and then smiled at the people in the carriage.

"But have I disturbed you?" Mrs. Li San apologized, "I apologize for disturbing you. I just have a rude request..."

Mrs. Li San paused for a moment before continuing, "I wonder how many snacks and snacks Madam has here to keep me entertained. If meat and food are available, I..."

Perhaps she knew that she was a bit embarrassed, so the more Mrs. Li San talked, the more embarrassed she became.

In the middle of the sentence, I had to explain, "Although we stopped for a day in the county this time, the restaurants and grain stores in the county were not open. The three of us, master and servant, were unable to buy anything in the county."

As Mrs. Li San spoke, she took out a gold hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over, "If you don't mind it, I will exchange this gold hairpin with you for thirty kilograms of grain. If possible, Replace it with two pounds of meat and two bunches of candied haws."

Ke Muqing's eyes fell on the gold hairpin. Looking at the quality, he knew that the gold hairpin was not brand new. It was used, but it was well preserved. There was also a pearl inlaid on the gold hairpin. It was bright and round. He knew it at a glance. Extraordinary thing.

Unless it was a last resort, no one would be willing to exchange such good things for food.

But right now, for Mrs. Li San, nothing is more practical than food.

Although the exiled prisoners were allowed to eat three meals a day, each meal only consisted of steamed buns as big as a woman's fist, which were hard and difficult to swallow. Sometimes these steamed buns were smelly and turned green.

Adults can grit their teeth and carry it, but how can young children endure it?

Just when Mrs. Li San thought she would be rejected, Ke Muqing reached out and took away the gold hairpin.

"You guys write on the carriage, I'll go down for a while." Ke Muqing hid the gold hairpin in her arms and told the two children, then jumped out of the carriage and said to Mrs. Li San's master and servant, "Come with me."
