Chapter 421 Luo Family (1)
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Jingzhe and Guyu came to help Shen Miao get up. When they entered the room, they saw Shen Miao sleeping on the couch, the quilt missing, and she was covered with a fox fur.
The two were immediately shocked. When they left yesterday, they didn't leave any fox fur behind. Where did this fox fur come from? Jingzhe woke up Shen Miao. After Shen Miao woke up, she looked at the fox fur in confusion.
Although the plum blossom wine had a strong aftereffect, just as the farm lady had said, she didn't feel dizzy when she woke up the next day. She didn't feel dizzy, but she couldn't remember anything about what happened last night. She didn't even know why she had to live alone in this room.
Guyu held up the snow-white fox fur and asked, "Where did you get this fox fur from, young lady?"
Shen Miao took the fox fur and shook her head.
"The boxes where the young lady keeps her clothes are all here. Did she dig them out of the boxes when she was drunk yesterday?" Jingzhe asked tentatively, "But why does it seem like she's seeing this fox fur for the first time?"
They didn't think anything else about it. After all, Shen Miao was staying here perfectly fine, and there were guards inside and outside last night, so nothing happened. But the fox fur came from nowhere, so Shen Miao said, "Take it and ask the farmers if it's theirs."
When she met the farmer's owner, he shook his head and said, "We don't have fox fur this fine at home. I think you must have misremembered it."
Chen Qiu took the fox fur and said, "This fox fur doesn't look ordinary. Sister, where did you get it? I'm afraid it's worth a lot of silver. The workmanship looks gorgeous, but the tailoring is not very good. It seems a little too big for you."
Shen Miao took the fox fur cloak, feeling perplexed. She truly couldn't remember having such a cloak. However, after hearing Shen Qiu say it was worth quite a bit of silver, she naturally took it back, lying without batting an eyelid, "Now that you mention it, I remember it. It seems I bought it in Dingjing City some time ago. Jingzhe, put it away."
Jingzhe was just pondering when exactly Shen Miao had bought the cloak. Hearing what she said, he didn't bother to think too deeply and immediately said yes, putting the cloak into the box. Shen Miao shook her head. No matter where the cloak came from, she was afraid that she would need a lot of money on her way to Xiaochun City. Shen Xin wasn't as well off as he used to be. If he really needed money one day, he could still exchange the cloak for a lot of money. With this thought, all those random guesses became unnecessary.
Time always passes by so quickly.
Different states of mind determine the different views one sees. Although the road to Xiaochun City was full of mountains, winding rivers, bumpy roads and muddy terrain, and despite being exhausted, Shen Miao never complained of being tired. Those soldiers in the front of the Shen family army who were considered a burden followed Shen Xin's remaining confidants and became closer to them because of the hardships they shared along the way.
After leaving Beijing in February at the beginning of spring, we finally arrived in Xiaochun City in early August.
Xiaochun City, nestled on the border of Mingqi, was a small city. Its highest official was the garrison commander, General Luo Sui. Luo Sui had always protected the people of Xiaochun City, ensuring their safety and well-being. However, due to its distance from Dingjing City, everyone knew this was not a comfortable position. Furthermore, over the years, the Luo family's army had largely disbanded, leaving the Luo family with little more than a passing reputation within Xiaochun City.
When the guards at the city gate saw Luo Xueyan pull the Luo family's badge from her bosom, they stood in awe and sent someone to pass on the news to the Luo family. Xiaochun City was so small, and the Shen family's arrival with such a large group immediately caught the attention of the surrounding residents. They flocked to inquire about the situation, and upon learning that it was the Luo family's married daughter and her family, there was a burst of excitement.
