"Look at them. They are a family of three with hydrated faces, fair and delicate skin, and full of energy. They look radiant. Even their donkey is in good spirits, smooth and plump. They even have a useless clown cat! And what about us? We live worse than dogs! Uh-huh-"
"Wow, my feet are all calloused, my hair is greasy and gray, my face is tanned and rough. I used to have a pair of slender hands, but now my fingers are much thicker. I was once a noble lady in the capital, but how did I fall to this point now?"
After that, many women thought of their own experiences and changes, and could no longer hold back their tears and burst into tears.
A woman cried and said, "Oh, we are so pitiful! Who made us not have a good daughter?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many women expressed their regret.
"It's all my fault. When my daughter was climbing a tree, I whipped her with a whip and ordered her to learn embroidery and piano. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have stopped her. Maybe she would have climbed up the tree to get bird eggs for me."
"Me, me, me, and me. My son insisted on going to the pharmacy to be an apprentice, but I rejected his request. I even banned him from traveling. Whenever I think of this, my heart aches. I regret it so much. Otherwise, I could have treated Lord Meng and our family would have lived a much better life."
"Wow, and me too. My daughter wanted to learn martial arts and archery from her uncle, but I refused to let her. If I had known she would be exiled today, I would have let her learn no matter what. What's the point of learning those things to please men and gain fame? It's better to hunt a pheasant!"
"And I..."
A group of women were holding steamed buns in their hands and crying with their mouths open.
Amid the rhythmic crying, Feng Jiuyan and his family of three moved all the things in the wing room into the donkey cart.
After a while, the officers urged all the prisoners to pack their luggage and leave immediately.
The weather was not good. Not long after we set out, the sky became gloomy, covered with dark clouds and thundered from time to time.
Isn't it obvious that it's going to rain?
The officials hurriedly took out straw raincoats and hats from the horse-drawn carriages that were transporting grain and put them on.
Seeing this, everyone's face turned green, especially those who came into the town to buy things. They only had food in their minds and eyes, and did not even think of preparing straw raincoats and bamboo hats.
I regret it so much!
There was already a lack of medical care and medicine on the road of exile. If one was caught in the rain and accidentally caught a cold, the worst case scenario would be a fever for several days, or even death.
Thinking of this, the people who came to the city beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting their actions so much!
People's joys and sorrows are not shared.
Feng Jiuyan's family has a donkey cart and is not afraid of wind and rain at all.
Of course, when she went to town, she had already prepared her straw raincoat and bamboo hat.
She accidentally glanced over and saw Feng Zixuan, the little white lotus, biting her lips lightly and striding towards her.
Feng Zixuan stuck out her butt, and Feng Jiuyan knew what she was going to do.
Feng Jiuyan curled the corners of his lips slightly, waiting for the little white lotus to come to him.
Feng Zixuan walked to Feng Jiuyan's donkey cart, raised her head slightly and looked at Feng Jiuyan who was sitting at the shaft of the donkey cart, with a flattering smile on her face, "Big sister, we forgot to prepare cloaks and hats. Grandma is old and in poor health, and her legs and feet are not convenient. If she gets caught in the rain again, I'm afraid it will be bad. Look, your donkey cart is still spacious, can you give us a ride?"
Feng Jiuyan raised her eyebrows, she knew it!
She looked at Feng Zixuan with a half-smile, "Of course! However, there are five people in your family, and the donkey cart is too small. I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people."
Hearing this, Feng Zixuan's eyes lit up slightly. It seems that there is hope this time!
The smile on her face became sweeter and sweeter. "It's okay. We can just squeeze in. If that doesn't work, my father and brother can sit outside the shaft with my elder sister."
Oh my, this little white lotus is really good at making arrangements!
He rode in her donkey cart and even wanted her to sit on the shaft. How dare he do that!
Feng Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and smiled even more deeply, "So, let me drive for you."
"No, we would like to drive the cart for our elder sister, but my father, brother, me and my mother don't know how to drive." Feng Zixuan was anxious and explained quickly.
"Oh, so, what's the point of having you? Are you going to squeeze into the carriage with my family? Or squeeze in with people like you who haven't showered in days? Isn't this polluting the air? Also, you want to take a ride and make me a donkey driver. How dare you do that?"
Feng Zixuan choked and her face instantly turned red, "You!!! How can you insult others!"
Feng Jiuyan crossed his arms and said, "I advise you to rush to the front to buy raincoats and bamboo hats if you have time. Otherwise, oh, your family of five will get wet in the rain!"
After saying that, Feng Jiuyan shook the reins and drove the donkey cart forward.
Feng Zixuan glared hatefully at the slowly departing donkey cart; hatred surged wildly in her eyes, almost swallowing her up.
Song Chen and Song Ning didn't have much money, and the raincoats and cloaks sold by the officials were simply astronomical. Usually, you can buy a raincoat and a hat for thirty coins, but now, they are asking for five taels of silver!
The brother and sister simply couldn't afford it.
Song Chen looked at Song Ning who was standing beside him, worry in his eyes.
His sister was already frail, and she disappeared one night. After being brought back by the officials, she had not yet recovered. If she was caught in the rain today, the consequences would be disastrous.
Song Ning saw the worry in his brother's eyes, smiled, and comforted his brother, "Brother, I'm fine. It's okay to get wet in the rain, I can handle it. Besides, haven't we taken a shower in a few days? Just treat it as a shower."
Song Chen's eyes were slightly red, and he blamed himself, "A Ning, it's all my fault that I'm incompetent and couldn't even buy you a raincoat."
"Brother, our exile was caused by me. Do you blame me?"
Song Chen looked at her disapprovingly, "How could I blame you? Protecting you is my responsibility. Don't mention this matter again!"
Song Ning smiled heartily, "That's it. Brother, don't blame me, and I don't think you are useless. On the contrary, you are the best brother in the world."
As they were talking, the brother and sister suddenly felt a strong gaze behind them.
They turned around and were shocked to see a pair of big donkey eyes staring at them resentfully. They almost had a close contact with the arrogant donkey.
The Tsundere Donkey snorted and glared at the two of them.
Song Chen: No, why does he feel that the donkey hates him?
Song Ning: Did she do something bad to cause this donkey to glare at her?
Feng Jiuyan felt a little apologetic and patted the arrogant donkey's buttocks with his hand, "Sorry, did this stupid donkey scare you two?"
Song Chen hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'm not scared. Miss Feng, is there anything I can do for you?"
