Liang Shuyan was reborn as the mother of a group of children. Being a mother was one thing, but she also happened to be in the midst of a famine. With originally precarious meals and the added hard...
"Your aunt made the decision? How come such a thing happened? How come I didn't know about it?"
Zhao Heng said something simple, then turned to leave.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Heng said, "Auntie, I'm back!"
When Liang Shuyan turned to look at Zhao Heng, she found that he had already turned around and gone back to his room.
"What's wrong? Did his father confiscate our property? Is that why he's so unhappy?"
Jin Dashan shook his head: "Mother, you're not going to take Sanwang out, are you? You take Sanwang first, and leave the things at home to me. I'll handle them."
Jin Dashan and Zhao Heng have had a long-standing relationship, so Liang Shuyan didn't say anything and let Dashan comfort her; perhaps that would be more effective.
When Grandma Jin learned that Liang Shuyan was taking Sanwang out, she saw him off all the way to the village entrance before reluctantly saying, "Going on a long trip is not like being at home. You must take good care of yourself, Sanwang. You are a man, you must take good care of your mother."
This was the first time Liang Shuyan had been nagged by her mother like this. She smiled and said, "Mom, you should go back quickly. It's only a few days. You'll be back soon. I'm an old woman, so there's nothing to worry about."
Before leaving, Sanwang carried some tea leaves in his basket as samples. Liang Shuyan mainly wanted to open up the tea market in the provincial capital. At the same time, she wanted to explore the cosmetics market in the provincial capital and find a few key formulas so that she could start researching and developing cosmetics and skincare products when she returned.
After traveling for about two days in a swaying horse-drawn carriage, the carriage stopped in front of a post station.
For some reason, Liang Shuyan felt dizzy and lightheaded. As soon as the carriage stopped, she quickly covered her mouth and ran out.
The carriage swayed and rattled into the post station.
Sanwang looked at the tea leaves in the basket on his back, feeling somewhat troubled. He glanced back at his mother in the carriage; she was pale and clutching her lower back with one hand.
"Mother, are you alright? Why don't you wait in the carriage for a while, and I'll get off and buy you some medicine?" Sanwang said with concern.
The coachman reined in the carriage, glanced back at Sanwang's mother, and said, "No need to buy medicine. This is the post station. You can rest here for now and continue your journey after you've rested."
As they entered the inn, a man dressed in a purple robe approached them. He glanced at Sanwang and Liang Shuyan's attire and said with some disdain, "Where are you country bumpkins from? What are you doing at our inn?"
Upon hearing this, Sanwang immediately bowed his head and apologized: "Brother, we are just resting here temporarily, we didn't mean anything by it."
Upon hearing this, the man snorted coldly: "You country bumpkins always like to run around and break the rules. This is a post station, not a place for you to trespass."
Upon hearing this, Sanwang couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He looked up, about to argue, when he suddenly noticed an official's hat on a table behind the man.
The official's hat was inlaid with jewels, sparkling brightly.
Sanwang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood. This man must be someone from the government. He immediately lowered his head and dared not speak again.
Seeing that Sanwang was no longer speaking, the man snorted coldly, turned around and walked back into the post station.
Sanwang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his actions just now had been somewhat impulsive.
He looked up at the signboard inside the post station, which read "Daling County Post Station," and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He knew that he and his mother needed to rest here, but the inn did not seem to welcome them.
Sanwang and Liang Shuyan found a corner to sit down in the post station. He looked at his mother's pale face and couldn't help but feel worried.
He knew his mother got carsick, but she had to travel with him to make a living.
He sighed, and carrying Liang Shuyan on his back, he was about to walk ahead when a group of servants suddenly appeared in the inn and blocked their way.
"What's wrong? They haven't left yet, so don't blame us. Men, seize these country bumpkins!"
"You, you've become lawless! Can't we just stay at your inn now?"
"You two country bumpkins offended the postmaster earlier and haven't left yet, so don't blame us for that," a servant holding a wooden stick stepped forward and said menacingly.
Upon hearing this, Sanwang felt a sense of panic.
He knew his actions had been somewhat impulsive, but he hadn't expected to offend the postmaster. He knew he and his mother needed to rest here, but the post station didn't seem to welcome them.
The servants swarmed forward, surrounding Sanwang and Liang Shuyan.
Sanwang clenched his fists, knowing that these servants were not to be trifled with.
He looked up at the signboard inside the post station and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Liang Shuyan was clearly much more sober now. Pointing at the group of people in front of her, she said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you treat a woman like me like this?"
That's right. Liang Shuyan wanted to register her identity as a tea lady and then see how these people acted. Once she went out, there was nothing wrong with using her identity as a tea lady to protect herself, right?
"Hmph, what kind of identity could a country woman have? We don't care who you are, as long as you offend the postmaster, you can forget about leaving here alive," a servant said arrogantly.
"You..." Liang Shuyan was so angry that she couldn't speak. Seeing this, Sanwang immediately said, "Brothers, we are just resting here temporarily and have no other intentions. Please be lenient and let us pass."
Unexpectedly, a man walked out from the crowd, wearing a royal blue robe with a dark green jade pendant tied at his waist. Upon seeing Liang Shuyan, he said, "Oh, madam, what are you doing here?"
The servants exchanged glances: "Madam? What madam? Is it the woman the Emperor bestowed upon us a few days ago?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately said, "That's right, that's right, this is indeed Lady Cha from Daling Village. Release her immediately, otherwise, if the Emperor punishes you, you will all be guilty of the heinous crime of having your families wiped out!"
Upon hearing this, the servants immediately said respectfully, "So it's Lady Tea. We apologize for our rudeness."
Upon hearing this, Sanwang breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew this man was the manager of Qiongxianlou Restaurant, so he immediately said, "Manager Yu, thank you for your kindness, but we are just resting here temporarily and have no other intentions."
Upon hearing this, Manager Yu nodded, then looked at Liang Shuyan and said, "Perfect timing, I have a pill here, please have Madam take it first."
Upon hearing this, the servants behind him immediately said, "Sir, could you please intercede for the lady and spare us? We did not do it on purpose."
