Chapter 116 When it rains, it pours. This is the norm in life.
A certain official road.
Jiang Qinian in the carriage thought of his dream last night, and his old face was full of worry.
In the dream, the disheveled, ragged beggar... seemed to be Yaoer.
Could it be that the silver Yaoer brought was stolen by robbers again?
The weather was already hot, and many worries came to Jiang Qinian's mind, making him extremely irritable.
He suddenly felt a little regretful about taking on this task.
Having served as an official for many years, he can be said to have lived a life of luxury.
Besides, he was originally a civil servant, and his physique was not as good as those who practiced martial arts.
This time he went to Jizhou to deliver disaster relief food and funds. He traveled day and night, sleeping in the open air, and his bones were almost broken.
Moreover, what if what Yao'er said about rebirth was just a beautiful dream she made up?
The more Jiang Qinian thought about this, the more uneasy he felt.
We are already halfway there, and we still have the Holy Order.
When he took on this task, he boasted shamelessly in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
We will ensure that the disaster relief food and funds are delivered to Jizhou as soon as possible and will never let the people of Jizhou go hungry.
It would be good if these disaster relief funds and grain could be delivered to Jizhou smoothly.
If anything goes wrong, he will not only be accused of failing to provide disaster relief, but will also most likely lose his position as prime minister.
Oh, he was really dizzy.
He prayed in his heart: I hope everything will go according to what Yaoer said.
In fact, Jiang Qinian knew very well that it was too late to say anything now.
I can only think more positively and comfort myself.
Otherwise, I would get angry and sick before I even reach Jizhou.
An official came up to Jiang Qinian's carriage on horseback and said, "Prime Minister, Shengzhou Post Station is just ahead. Should we take a break before continuing on our journey?"
Jiang Qinian looked up at the scorching sun, then at the exhausted escorting officers, and gave the order, "Rest for a night at the post station ahead before continuing on our journey!"
If we don't take a break, these people will complain.
Shengzhou?
Suddenly, Jiang Qinian suddenly remembered that after the Nangong family left the capital, they seemed to have settled in Shengzhou.
After not being in touch for so many years, he almost forgot the existence of this family.
The only person involved has also severed ties.
Never mind, they have no...relationship anymore anyway.
The night deepens.
Jiang Ruo tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, her mouth almost stretched from ear to ear.
Before dinner, An Er came back to report that the money Jiang Yunyao brought with her was stolen by a thief.
For this reason, Jiang Yunyao and his servant were kicked out by the innkeeper.
When she thought of Jiang Yunyao huddled pitifully against the wall, she felt a bit "gloating"... and was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
Although she knew it was wrong to think this way, she just couldn't help it!
When it rains, it pours. This is the norm in life.
People, you always have to pay for your choices.
Jiang Ruo rubbed her stiff cheeks and forced herself to close her eyes.
Broken sleep!
Xiao Chengjin was lying on his side with his back to Jiang Ruo. He looked asleep, but in fact he was not sleepy at all.
He was the one who arranged for someone to steal Jiang Yunyao's money.
Since she is asking for trouble, we can't let her live too comfortably.
He wanted to let that bitch know what it meant to be desperate.
After all, his Ruoruo loves to watch the fun the most.
On the streets in the dark.
Jiang Yunyao, who was kicked out of the inn, huddled in the carriage, shivering.
Her face was covered with tear marks, and her red eyes were full of regret and helplessness.
what to do?
All the silver was stolen by the thief.
What will happen next...are they going to starve to death in Jizhou?
No, I have to think of a solution.
Not to mention Mrs. Zhou. After she found out that Jiang Yunyao's silver was stolen, she went crazy with anxiety.
She immediately became furious and started scolding Jiang Yunyao.
She had even anticipated the miserable life that was to follow.
That is, they go to the streets to beg together.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou felt even more disgusted with Jiang Yunyao.
The arrogant Jiang Yunyao naturally noticed Zhou Pozi's dissatisfaction.
In the current situation, Nanny Zhou is her only support, and she dare not act like a master anymore.
She groped around in the darkness for a few times, patted Mrs. Zhou's arm gently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry. I won't let you go hungry as long as I have something to eat."
"My father will soon come to Jizhou with relief grain, and then we will return to the capital together."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly and did not reply.
The government office is giving out porridge, so let’s go and ask for some tomorrow!
It's really strange that she would give up being a good young lady and choose to be a refugee.
Also, knowing that there was a drought in Jizhou, you still insisted on coming here. That's simply stupid.
Jiang Yunyao, feeling embarrassed, shrank back, and when she smelled the sweat on her body, tears started to flow again.
She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child.
She suddenly missed the days of luxury in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Thinking of what Mrs. Zhou warned her about at the inn, she realized how terrifying Xiao Chengjin was...
She knew very well that it was too late to say anything now.
So, helpless and desperate, she could only pray that her father would come to Jizhou as soon as possible.
The coachman and several guards who were arranged by Jiang Yunyao to stand guard beside the carriage whispered to each other from time to time.
It's not hard to tell from their tone that they are also a little, uh, gloating.
They all secretly thought that after enduring hardships and sleeping in the open air all the way, now that they had the eldest lady by their side, the resentment in their hearts suddenly... disappeared.
It's not yet dawn.
Several horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of Jiangji Grain Shop, and the people who got up early to get porridge gave thumbs up.
With affordable food available for purchase and the prefect also setting up stalls to distribute porridge, perhaps this drought can be overcome.
If this had happened in the past, the family would have been destroyed.
According to the officials from the government office, the idea of digging wells to combat drought was also learned from a book by the owner of Jiangji Grain Shop.
After the guys who were transporting the food left, Jiang Ruo quietly released some more food from the space.
She spent a lot of effort to secretly put grain into the grain store.
After breakfast, Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin took a carriage back to Huaxi Village.
When passing by the porridge stall, Jiang Ruo suddenly saw Jiang Yunyao standing in the crowd with her face covered to get porridge.
Jiang Ruo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled Xiao Chengjin over to watch the fun.
Although you are pitiful, I don't sympathize with you at all.
Hey, I want to watch you have fun with my man.
The dog man who was watching the fun said: Ruo Ruo, I specially arranged for the driver to take this route so that you can watch the fun.
