Chapter 11: This is not exile, this is tourism
Chen Xue got on the carriage with her maid and her mother. As for Chen's father, he did not come in, but sat outside driving the carriage.
Except for another servant who could drive the carriage, everyone else followed the carriage and guarded it.
After entering the carriage, Chen Xue collapsed on it and said, "It's still more comfortable to ride in a carriage!"
“You!”
Mother Chen shook her head and wanted to say something, but she sighed instead, thinking about how she had never suffered hardship since she was a child and had always gone out in a carriage.
Even she felt some back and leg pain after walking for only two hours.
"Okay, now that no one can see, stop being so sneaky."
Chen Xue suddenly got up, opened the small table in the middle of the carriage, and pretended to get something from the table.
After a while.
She took out a small stove, a teapot and some teacups.
In addition, there were fruits and pastries. In the blink of an eye, the empty little table was filled with snacks.
Both Chen's mother and Xiaodie were dumbfounded.
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing..."
"Oh, that's the secret technique my master taught me."
I see! "
Mother Chen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xiaoxue could easily create so many things.
Not only did she quickly accept this statement, but she also felt happy. Xiaoxue had suffered with them, but unexpectedly by chance she became a disciple of an immortal master, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
"Call Dad in too!"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother lifted the curtain and pulled Chen's father outside, and Chen's father quickly came in.
As soon as he came in, he saw the small table in the middle of the carriage filled with food, and each person even held a cup of tea. He was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
"you……"
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He looked down at the shackles on his body and realized that he was still in exile. He was not dreaming!
Why do I feel like I'm the only one in exile, while everyone else is just traveling?
Good job!
Hot tea, cakes, and a carriage!
Seeing these things on the road of exile was like a dream. He recalled that when he was still the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, this was the scene when he went for an outing with his classmates and friends.
Now, on the road of exile, I actually have a feeling of being on an outing. What the hell is that?
Seeing that he was stunned, Chen's mother stepped forward, pinched his arm, pulled him back, and repeated Chen Xue's explanation.
"This matter must be kept secret!"
Father Chen said seriously, "Except when no one is around, try to keep a low profile at other times."
If people knew that his daughter could cast spells, the entire Dayue Kingdom would probably go crazy, and His Majesty the Emperor would definitely bring their family back to the capital.
Not to mention, if other people knew about it, they would definitely do whatever it takes to get this method.
"That's right." Mother Chen nodded, then looked at the maid next to Chen Xue, "The most important thing is Xiaodie. If I find out that you leaked the information, you know the consequences..."
Chen's mother looks kind, but when she gets angry, she is still very scary. Everyone in the Chen family is afraid of her in their hearts.
The reason why she didn't stop Xiaoxue from taking the maid with her was because she was now in the exile team and had no peers to communicate with, so Bian Fan let her take the maid with her.
But letting things go doesn't mean anything is allowed, so she has to give the maid a lesson.
Upon hearing this, Xiaodie quickly knelt down to express her feelings, "I understand. Even if I die, I will not reveal a single thing about the young lady."
"Okay, Mom, don't worry."
In fact, there are various things in her space that can be exchanged, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.
For example, in the simplest hypnosis, even if everyone sees that she can create things out of thin air, as long as she hypnotizes them once, everyone will think that what they saw before was an illusion and will not take it seriously.
This is the simplest way. There are other methods, which I will not list here.
Several people were eating, drinking and chatting in the carriage, which was like a completely different scene compared to the group of disheveled prisoners outside.
"Damn it! Why do they have horse-drawn carriages while we only have donkey carts?"
Next to them, a family was sitting on a donkey cart, looking at the horse carriage not far away, and they were suddenly jealous.
They asked Xu Tian for help, but Xu Tian ignored them, so they had to ask other yamen runners for help.
But after spending nearly one hundred taels, what he got was a tattered donkey cart.
Not to mention the bumpy ride, there was also a foul smell. I wonder if it was used to carry donkey dung or cow dung.
In short, as long as you sit on it, you can smell a bad odor from time to time. Even if you get off the car, there is still a faint bad smell on your body. This makes those who have never smelled it vomit out the food they ate last night.
They felt extremely jealous when they thought about their donkey carts which were smelly, hard and leaky everywhere, while the Chen family's horse-drawn carriage next to them was old but much more upscale than theirs.
"It's all your fault. Look at you, you're the Minister of Revenue. Although he's poor, he still has his dignity. What about you? What's your use?"
The woman next to her pointed at her husband and started cursing. In the past, they had a good relationship with the Chen family. After all, their men were both assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, so the women often visited them.
In fact, she had been to the Chen family several times. At that time, the Chen family did not look poor at all. But when she thought about hearing these rumors, she felt that the Chen family was just pretending to be rich and deliberately let her see that their Chen family was not poor.
Because of this, she became even angrier. Normally, she would compare herself with others. After all, although they were both assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Yuan's official position was higher than her man's, so she was not convinced.
Now, everyone has been exiled, everyone has lost their official positions, and everyone is on the same side.
But who knew that although the Chen family was poor, they had great reputation and easily got a carriage.
But their family only had a donkey cart.
"Zhang Yiquan, Zhang Yiquan, I was really blind to fall in love with someone like you. I worked so hard to give birth to a son for you, but I haven't even enjoyed the happiness yet, and now I have to suffer like this in the end!"
The more the woman thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't help crying out loud. Zhang Yiquan, who was standing next to her, was already feeling dizzy from the stench from the donkey cart.
Now, hearing his wife throwing a tantrum, he immediately became angry, "That's enough, what's the point of crying like that? Aren't you ashamed enough?"
"Shameful!" the woman looked up and sneered, "You've been exiled, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Zhang Yiquan was speechless. Yes, being an official now is not as prestigious and dignified as it used to be.
"Mom, look at him. Even if he doesn't understand himself, he should understand our Wei'er. He is so young, yet he has to suffer this kind of pain. He is the only child of our Zhang family!"
The woman turned her head to look at an old woman next to her, couldn't help crying, and pinched a little fat boy next to her.
The little fat boy couldn't help crying out loud. Seeing this, the old woman felt distressed and looked at Zhang Yiquan quickly.
"Quan, it's all your fault that our family is in this state now. Our Wei'er originally had a bright future, but now he has to suffer because of you..."
Although the old woman didn't scold him, her constant mumbling made Zhang Yiquan's scalp tingle.
"Go talk to the Chen family. They're broke, aren't they? We are." The old woman finally got to the point. "Why don't we just give them the money and buy their carriage?"
"Why would they sell it!" Zhang Yiquan shook his head. He knew Chen Yuan's character very well. How could he bear to let his wife and children suffer?
"Why not? Don't they have any money? We give them the donkey cart. They get a cart for free and make some money. Only a fool would refuse."
"How will you know if you don't try? Or do you want to tire me to death so that no one will care about you in the future? Oh my, I didn't expect to give birth to an ungrateful person like you..."
When Zhang Yiquan saw that his mother was about to throw a tantrum, his scalp suddenly went numb.
"Okay, okay, I'll try!"
