Chapter 176: They Didn’t Get What They Wanted
Fu Xuanheng drove the carriage quickly to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a protruding area, more than three zhang deep and seven or eight zhang long, and the whole area was very open.
It is this wind that makes people feel pain.
It’s okay for those who are close inside, but those outside will definitely be drenched by the rain.
Fu Xuanheng took a quick look and found that there were not many people here.
Everyone naturally chose to hide in the middle. Fu Xuanheng and Shen Yunyue both liked places with good air circulation.
After looking around, I finally decided on a location in the south corner.
There is also a tree there whose diameter is so large that it takes three people to hug it.
Now in winter, the dark green leaves on the tree are still standing strong.
Fu Xuanheng parked the carriage under the tree.
He opened an umbrella and said, "Yunyue. Come down."
Shen Yunyue was not wearing a straw raincoat and just lifted the curtain of the car to come out.
Fu Xuanheng hugged her and said, "You're not wearing rain boots, I'll carry you over." He came to the open space with an umbrella in one hand and Shen Yunyue in the other.
After putting Shen Yunyue down, he said slowly, "I chose this place to rest."
Shen Yunyue let go of her hand and looked around.
"Yeah. I would choose this place too. What happened just now?"
In response to Shen Yunyue's question, Fu Xuanheng took out the needle from his sleeve.
The long, thin needle was stuck in the horse's neck and could not be seen at all.
If Fu Xuanheng didn't have the ability to communicate with animals, if this horse hadn't been given special treatment by Shen Yunyue using the grass in the space from the beginning.
I'm afraid the horse will go crazy today.
When the time comes, they will be the ones who are thrown to the ground.
Shen Yunyue's face darkened. "Huh, what a great skill. But it's a shame they didn't get what they wanted."
"But, who is it?"
Shen Yunyue looked at the carriage team that was gradually approaching from behind with indifferent and cold eyes.
Fu Xuanheng glanced sideways coldly, the coldness in his eyes clear. "No matter who he is, he'll reveal his true colors."
He turned around and took the thatch down from the carriage.
Shen Yuncheng took out the mattress and copper stove from the carriage and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't have to get in."
Da Niu, Fu Xuanheng and a few others were busy downstairs.
Shen Yunzheng and Fu Xuansheng jumped down, and the two little guys automatically ran to take up space.
This is a skill they have developed.
Looking at the place where Shen Yunyue put the thatch, you can tell that it is theirs.
Another cup of tea passed.
Ah Si and Ying Feng drove here. Ah Si wiped the rain off his face and said:
"We were delayed a little, and another carriage fell behind us. The wind was like a knife, and the rain was too heavy."
Ah Si helped Mr. Shen and the others get off the carriage, then unloaded it and led the horses to the tree.
Old Madam Shen clasped her hands together and muttered something.
After a while, he put down his hand.
"Yunyue. Why does it seem like something's wrong with this weather?"
Shen Yunyue supported Madam Shen and said softly, "Grandma, let's be careful. Everything will be fine."
"Oh. Fortunately, my son-in-law is in good health now. You have finally come to the end of your suffering." Old Lady Shen glanced at Fu Xuanheng who was busy inside and outside.
The place where the Shen family lives has been cleaned up.
In the past, it was Shen Yunyue and Ah Si who were cleaning up.
"Grandma, just relax."
Shen Yunyue comforted them. The only escorts who arrived here were Xiao Liuzi and two people from the other two pairs.
The rest of the escorts were behind.
Xiao Liuzi came over and saw that the Shen family had settled in, and he quickly said:
"Miss Shen, can you please ask Ah Si and Ying Feng to go over and help?"
Ah Si shook the rain off his hands and walked over. "I'll go. Yingfeng, stay and help set up the stove. When the messenger arrives here, he'll need some cold medicine, right?"
When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he found that it was indeed true.
My stomach is full of cold wind and rain, so I have to drink some hot wind-cold medicine.
"Okay. Come with me. Miss Shen, please make an extra bowl of medicine for us. The herbs we need will be converted into silver and then compensated to you."
“Also, you all have to prepare dinner together. If there are not enough people, Miss Shen can spend some time to select a few people to work.
We will be responsible for the necessary steamed bread and food."
"Okay. Everything else is easy."
Shen Yunyue agreed immediately.
Xiao Liuzi took half a bag of coarse rice and half a bag of flour from the carriage to Shen Yunyue. "Miss Shen, thank you for your help."
Mu Ya hurriedly took it.
Someone gulped with envy. "Sir, we can help too."
"That's right, we're very quick."
Xiao Liuzi looked over coldly and said, "Get out of here."
Those people were so frightened that they shuddered and quickly shrank back.
Xiao Liuzi left with another escort and Ah Si, leaving only an escort with a small mustache watching them.
Just as they reached the corner, Xiao Liuzi caught a glimpse of Feng Bu. He nodded towards Feng Bu and said:
"Come and help later."
Feng Bu nodded in agreement, then glanced deeply in the direction of the Shen family.
Fu Xuanheng chose a good place, the wind is weaker here.
The people from other families looked on with resentment.
"Shen family, why are you so selfish? You always take the best position."
"It's time to move somewhere. Why are all the good spots given to you guys?"
"In the past, you relied on flattery to get a good position. Now, we are almost in Shihanzhou. Are you still bullying others with your power?"
…….
The people who came later started talking one after another.
Those hiding in the innermost part wanted to speak up for the Shen family, but were afraid of causing a fight.
They really wanted to say that those who came earlier were not as good at choosing a place as the Shen family.
Fu Xuanheng's hand, which was holding the stone, was slightly furious, and he wanted to throw the stone over.
Glancing at Fu Xuanheng who was about to go berserk, Shen Yunyue sneered:
"What's wrong with bullying others? You're not as skilled as others, yet you still have the nerve to nag here?"
"My Shen family isn't the first to come here. What does it have to do with us if you can't choose a location?"
"Want us to give up our seats? Sure, give me the money."
With the help of Rong Mu, He Luxue now considers herself a rich and beautiful woman among the exiles.
After figuring it out, He Luxue changed her previous appearance. She thought that her face was the most important.
I don't want to be crowded in a muddy place.
I didn't want to go to the vent position, and after hearing Shen Yunyue's words, I hurriedly said:
"How much silver? I'll give you a silver ingot."
She took out a silver ingot weighing five taels.
Seeing this, the hearts of the second old lady of the He family were bleeding, "Lu Xue, you are not the head of the family, you don't know the difficulties of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Give me this money, and you will see that our location is quite good."
Madam He Er reached out to grab the silver in her hand.
He Luxue withdrew her hand, and the silver fell into her sleeve. But her eyes were still looking at Shen Yunyue, "Do you want to switch? How about giving me a seat?"
Change?
Of course not.
Shen Yunyue would not make herself unhappy for five taels of silver.
"No. Go away."
"Didn't you say you wanted to change it?" He Luxue glared at her angrily.
"You can change it if you want. The starting price is 100 taels of silver per position, and the highest bidder gets it." Shen Yunyue looked at her indifferently, with a hint of contempt on the corner of her mouth.
"He Luxue, you'd better stay away from me. I feel sick when I see you."
Shen Yunyue gently fanned the air with her hand, then turned and saw Ou Ruoyang smiling. "Sister Ou, are you free to come and help?"
Ou Ruoyang was standing by, waiting to ask Shen Yunyue if she needed help.
Although there are many people in the Shen family.
There are not many people who actually do anything, either a few old people or children.
The Shen Zhou family and the others in the middle had so much work to do that they were simply unable to handle it.
Mo Yiran is not the kind of person who gets things done.
"That's great. Thank you, Miss Shen." Ou Ruoyang hurriedly asked Peng Xiyue to take her younger brothers and sisters to stay in the corner so that they would not get wet in the rain.
Peng Xiyue was a lively person. She found a place not far from the Shen family's house and arranged for her younger siblings to sit there without moving.
"You guys sit down and guard our spot. If anyone tries to take our spot, just call me." Peng Xiyue carefully instructed her younger siblings.
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
“I’ll go help. It’s too hard for mother to work alone, and besides, Sister Shen gives a lot of things.
How can we let our mother work alone and take a few steamed bread?"
Peng Xiyue tapped her brother's forehead, stood up and walked to the place where the Shen family set up the pot.
"Sister Chen, let me help too." Peng Xiyue is very nimble and can work just as well as an adult.
"Okay. Wash this mushroom clean."
Shen Yunyue called a few more people to help. After all, today is New Year's Eve. Even if you are in exile, you still have to celebrate the New Year.
Seeing the flour, Shen Yunyue started thinking about making dumplings.
But she doesn't know how to wrap it.
Quietly asked Ou Ruoyang, "Sister Ou, can you make dumplings?"
"Dumplings?" Ou Ruoyang asked her suspiciously, "What are those?"
Shen Yunyue gestured, "It's another kind of wonton. It's also a flour skin wrapped with fillings."
"Jiao Er, right?" Ou Ruoyang suddenly realized, "I know how to do this."
Let’s eat this today.
Because it was more convenient to eat this, Shen Yunyue asked Fu Xuanheng to pull a piece of wood down from the carriage.
She took the pork out of the basket.
This was the day before yesterday when I passed by a village and saw someone selling pork, so I bought half of his pig.
There are a lot of things in the space, and Shen Yunyue will also buy some things in front of everyone.
So that everyone wouldn’t wonder if the Shen family always has leftover food.
"Yingfeng, wash the meat here and chop it into small pieces." Shen Yunyue ordered Yingfeng.
Mu Ya also fiddled with the dried vegetables and wood ear mushrooms in the basket. She felt that life was hard, but she was very happy.
I am even more glad that I followed Shen Yunyue.
…
Shen Yunyue was busy here, and He Luxue was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
With the money in her hand, she also bought some pork the day before yesterday.
But the He family has a large population, and everyone uses filial piety to pressure her.
There were no two pieces of meat in her mouth. It was only because she said it had to be prepared for today that her family left a large piece of meat bone for her.
Now, all the meat of the He family depends on that bone.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes a mixture of resentment and jealousy. "Grandma, even if our two families don't interact, it's New Year's Eve, and cousin Xuanheng really hasn't expressed anything?"
Old Madam He Er felt a pang of pain in her heart.
I looked up and saw the bustle at the Shen family's house, and then compared it with the shabby state of my own home.
When I arrived in Yunzhou City, I thought I could make some money by going out for a day.
Unexpectedly, Mr. He’s former fellow practitioners only gave them a few hundred copper coins to send them away.
It's a shame to talk about it.
"How can I have the dignity to do this? People don't even recognize me as their grandmother. You black-hearted bastard, you deserve a bad death. You'll have to be struck by lightning one day before you realize you need to be filial to me."
