Chapter 321 Lin Zi meets Chang Yuan's family again

Shen Yunyue agreed immediately, and Shen Ma heard that they were going to the temple.

He also brought ten taels of silver and asked Shen Yunyue to help add some incense.

Fu Xuanheng, Yingfeng and others rested in a small woods near the official road. Yingfeng was feeding the horses with hay.

An Wu lit a fire from a distance.

Set up a small iron pot.

Pheasant meat stewed with vermicelli was cooked in an iron pot.

Normally, Fu Xuanheng would not eat like this when he was in a hurry. Today, in order to wait for Chang Yuan and his group, he specially asked Yingfeng to hunt a pheasant.

I cooked the vermicelli brought from Baijia Village.

The fragrance wafted out from the grove.

Fu Xuanheng sat under a tree, with a teapot beside him containing fragrant Yunwu tea.

He held the teacup and savored it carefully, just like a student traveling around the mountains and rivers.

Chang Yuan and his family escaped another hunt.

Rushing towards the north in a panic.

Seeing that her mother couldn't bear the shaking, Chang Tingting burst into tears.

"Brother, mother can't bear it anymore. We need to find a place to rest."

Chang Yuan, who was riding a horse following the carriage, quickly rode over.

"Yuen Niang, how is mother?" Chang Yuan didn't believe Chang Tingting's words and asked his wife Yue Niang for confirmation.

Yue Niang was sitting in the carriage with her two children.

She kept fanning Chang's mother gently with a fan.

Hearing this, he said worriedly:

"Husband, we need to find a place to rest. Mother has been sweating profusely. We've already put a mattress under her, and her back pain is coming back."

Chang Yuan fell silent.

After a pause, he raised his head and looked ahead.

There is still some distance to the next village.

The further north you go, the worse it is than the south. You may not see a village for two or three hundred miles.

They have been busy escaping these past two days.

There was no time to buy food for the journey.

The little food on the carriage also disappeared during the escape.

Chang Yuan's two children were very hungry, but they licked their lips sensibly and huddled together, not daring to say they were hungry.

"Let's rest in the woods ahead."

Chang Yuan said coldly.

"Major General, there is smoke in the woods ahead." The follower following Chang Yuan pointed at the smoke rising ahead.

"Go and see who it is?"

"yes."

As the attendant spoke, he rode his horse quickly over.

When we arrived in the woods, we saw Fu Xuanheng and two others.

He silently changed direction and went to report to Chang Yuan that there were only three people in the forest.

Like a traveler.

This follower had never seen Fu Xuanheng before, so he described the appearance of Fu Xuanheng and several others.

Chang Tingting in the carriage couldn't help but get excited, "Brother, are you here to save our benefactors?"

"Is there something urgent?"

Chang Yuan replied unhappily.

He still felt relieved. If it were Fu Xuanheng and the other two, he could rest assured.

Although he had to be cautious, Chang Yuan still had a good impression of Fu Xuanheng and the others.

At the edge of the woods.

Fu Xuanheng was still drinking tea.

Anwu took out a dagger and cut three pairs of bamboo chopsticks.

"Master, come and have dinner."

Fu Xuanheng stood up and the fire under the pot was extinguished.

An Wu took a few steamed buns and said, "It's really hard to find a village in this area. I looked around and it seems we have to walk at least two hundred miles before we find a village."

"Well, remember to buy some more dry food when you get to the next village."

Fu Xuanheng took the chopsticks.

The three of them sat down around the iron pot.

Everyone held a steamed bun in their hands and ate it with the pheasant and vermicelli in the pot.

Chang Yuan and his family got off the carriage.

Chang Tingting swallowed involuntarily. She lived a comfortable life, but she couldn't stand being so hungry.

"My benefactor, it turns out to be you."

Chang Tingting hurried over, showing the shyness of a little girl.

Fu Xuanheng frowned unhappily. Why was this woman so noisy? She spoke harshly and looked ugly.

How did Chang Wei give birth to such a disgusting daughter?

Fu Xuanheng continued eating without even raising his head.

Chang Tingting: ... She then thought that her benefactor must be angry with her brother.

"My benefactor, it was my brother who was wrong the day before yesterday. I apologize to you on his behalf. I will always remember your life-saving grace."

Fu Xuanheng became impatient.

Yingfeng noticed that Fu Xuanheng was unhappy.

He raised his head and gave a cold look, "Miss Chang, you'd better leave here. Our master doesn't need you to remember him. You are grateful for saving his life, but at the same time you are suspicious of him."

"We knew you were coming here when we were in the woods, so we deliberately met you, didn't we?"

Yingfeng spoke bluntly.

Chang Yuan, who helped Chang’s mother get out of the carriage:…

He helped Chang's mother down from the carriage and gestured to Yue Niang. He walked over and saluted Fu Xuanheng, "My benefactor, I was wrong about what happened the day before yesterday."

"I apologize to you here."

"No need to apologize, just stay away from us. If you get too close, there's nothing for you to eat." Fu Xuanheng hated being disturbed while eating the most.

These people have no tact.

If I didn't really want to get to know them, I would really want to run away with the pot.

Chang Yuan:……

Chang Tingting: .... She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

She wanted to ask for some steamed bread and meat soup to give to her mother.

Unexpectedly, Fu Xuanheng saw through her intention at a glance.

Chang Yuan and a few others built a fire not far from Fu Xuanheng and the others, and Yue Niang ordered the servants to fetch water.

The attendant also went to the woods and brought back a wild rabbit.

Chang Yuan's son is only four or five years old, about the same age as Shen Yunzheng.

Along the way, he heard Chang Tingting talk about how brave and powerful his benefactor was.

Saved several people from the Chang family.

The little guy put his hands behind his back and walked to a big tree not far from Fu Xuanheng. He leaned against the tree and looked at Fu Xuanheng quietly.

Fu Xuanheng turned his head and looked over, and the little guy smiled at him.

Fu Xuanheng waved his hand.

Chang Xiaobao secretly glanced at everyone in the Chang family, and only Chang Tingting peeked over here from time to time.

He ran to Fu Xuanheng's side in a flash.

"Are you the hero who saved my father?"

"What is a great hero?"

Chang Xiaobao was stumped by the question, scratching his mouth with his fingers. He tilted his head and frowned for a long time, "I don't know either, but he is a very powerful person anyway."

"So do you think I'm awesome?"

Chang Xiaobao nodded this time, "Great."

Hearing Chang Xiaobao's stomach rumbling, Fu Xuanheng handed him a chicken leg. "Eat it."

Chang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "My mother said that I can't eat other people's food casually."

"Didn't you say I was a hero who saved people? You don't even dare to eat something a hero gives you?"

Chang Xiaobao thought about it and bowed first.

Then he took the chicken leg with both hands and sat quietly on the ground.

“The chicken legs are delicious.”

"We have vermicelli here which is even more delicious." Fu Xuanheng instructed Yingfeng to serve Chang Xiaobao a bowl of vermicelli and chicken.

Chang Xiaobao enjoys eating.

"Can I have my sister come over to eat?"

"Can."

Chang Xiaobao hurried back and called Chang Xiaoe:

"Sister. The hero asked us to go eat."

Chang Xiao'e was a year or two older, and wore her hair in twin buns. Seeing Chang Tingting's cold gaze, she pursed her lips:

"Xiaobao, go eat."

"You come with us." Chang Xiaobao pulled Chang Xiaoe to Fu Xuanheng's side.

When Chang Yuan came over, he saw his children eating happily at Fu Xuanheng's place.

I don't know what to talk about.

Chang Xiaobao laughed so hard that he hiccuped.

"Brother, how did your sister-in-law raise her children? Xiaobao and Xiao'e are so shameful. Does our Chang family need a bite to eat?"

Yue Niang rarely speaks on weekdays.

This time I couldn't help but retort: ​​"Que, don't you know what our situation is now?"

"There's nothing wrong with Xiaobao and Xiao'e's behavior. I believe these two children are not the ones who actively beg for food. It must be that the benefactor couldn't bear to see them go hungry."

After saying that.

Yue Niang glanced at Chang Yuan coldly.

Chang Yuan pinched his nose when his wife glared at him, and said nothing for a while.

He knew that his wife was angry because of Miss Chang Tingting's temper.

He ran away without saying anything and got into so much trouble.

But she is his only sister.

He is also his parents' favorite child, what else can he do?

"Yue Niang." Chang Yuan saw Yue Niang packing her things and hurriedly followed her.

Chang Tingting: ... "Sister-in-law, were you kicked by a donkey?"

Chang's mother sat on the mattress under the tree, leaning against the trunk to rest.

The old maid serving her held the bowl and said, "Madam, here is some sugar water. Drink some quickly."

Chang's mother took only one sip and stopped drinking.

"Give it to Tingting. This girl has had a smooth life since she was a child. How could she have been tortured like this?" Chang's mother took two breaths and took out two pieces of malt candy from her purse.

"These two pieces of candy are for Xiaobao and Xiao'e. Is Yue Niang angry?"

The old nanny thought to herself: The eldest lady caused such a big trouble, but she acted as if nothing had happened. It's only natural that the eldest lady is angry.

Logically speaking, it's time to take care of the eldest lady.

But the old nanny had served Chang's mother all her life, and she knew that the old lady had become confused as she grew old.

In the end, I didn't dare to say much.

"The Madam is not angry, she is just frightened by such a thing. Poor Madam, she is with Master Xiaobao and Miss Xiaolao, she is panicking but can't help but make things worse."

Chang's mother could definitely hear the subtext.

She sighed, "You old bastard, didn't you say Tingting was inexperienced?"

"I know I've spoiled Tingting too much. But there's a huge age gap between Tingting and her brothers, so it's only natural that I should love her more."

"Besides, she's right. Yuan'er is being too cautious."

"I see that the young man is a little poor, but he's quite skilled and well-spoken. We've lived in the North for a long time, and the men we meet are all rough and rugged."

"It's understandable that Tingting fell in love with that boy."

Chang's mother was a wise old woman, and she knew everything. But knowing was one thing, and disciplining was another.

"That boy is not afraid of being poor, as long as he gives more dowry in the future."

The old nanny was very upset when she heard this and thought to herself: That benefactor clearly looks down on the eldest lady.

Since he is of noble birth, there is no reason for him to be from a poor family.

The clothes on your body mean nothing.

But she didn't dare to tell anyone about what happened to the eldest lady, so the old lady started to deceive herself again.
