Chapter 72 Tragedy
After dinner, Lin Hongyang prepared to set off. They had to catch up with the large force ahead.
Zhao Qingfeng felt a little reluctant, but he also knew that they each had the responsibility to reduce the burden.
"I don't know when we will meet next time." He couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Hongyang was also a little sad. It had been more than three years since they last met, and after this separation, he didn't know when they would meet again.
"Brother," Zhao Qingfeng climbed onto Lin Hongyang's shoulders, "It would be a shame not to give me a gift before we part ways."
Lin Hongyang raised his eyebrows and knew that this guy had bad intentions.
really,
When he heard the other party wanted to make the braised food for lunch, Lin Hongyang's mouth twitched. He turned his head and looked at his subordinates busy behind him as if he hadn't heard the other party's rude request. "Is it ready? Once it's done, let's go."
After saying this, he clasped his fists towards Zhao Qingfeng and said, "Take care, Fifth Brother."
Zhao Qingfeng: “…”
Seeing the guy with the black sesame filling pretending to be dumbfounded, Zhao Qingfeng quickly grabbed his arm and said, "You can go, but leave your things behind."
Lin Hongyang pointed to the cleaned meat piled on the table. "That's all for you."
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't this enough to satisfy you?"
Zhao Qingfeng coughed lightly and said, "You can use less meat, but the marinade must remain."
"Want to eat?" Lin Hongyang raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of pride. "Go back and make it yourself."
Zhao Qingfeng: “…”
If he can do it, why would we need to argue with this stingy guy here?
However, the other party's words reminded him that he could learn from Mrs. Rong.
only……
Many of them are unique secret recipes. Wouldn’t it be rude for him to ask for them directly?
He looked at Lin Hongyang and said with grievance: "Brothers, share half. Don't be so stingy. I haven't forgotten you when I have something good."
Lin Hongyang was disgusted, but finally agreed to share some with them.
"You are indeed my good brother." Zhao Qingfeng was instantly satisfied.
Lu Yao was not surprised when she heard that the braised food would be distributed to them. In fact, she had prepared it long ago, but Lin Hongyang did not say it, and she did not want to act on her own.
She was also very happy that her products were so popular.
As a hospitable flower grower, she could have shared some braising recipes with the other party, but she rejected the idea as soon as it came to her mind.
It's not that she is selfish, but there are too many uncertainties in the future, and she must make more plans for her future life.
However, you can share some of the brine with the other person, and then just cook whatever you want to eat in the brine.
As long as the brine is well preserved, it can be used for a long time.
When Zhao Qingfeng learned that he could use this thing called braising liquid to make delicious braised food, he was overjoyed and quickly asked someone to pack all these things. As for the precautions and cooking requirements, he also listened very carefully and tried his best to understand every word.
Here, the soldiers had already packed up and got on the bus to set off.
Tao Xiangling, Sister Lu and others were very reluctant and uneasy to see that Lu Yao and the children were about to leave.
"Can't we come along?" someone asked in a low voice.
It was these people who rescued them from dire straits, and it was Lu Yao who helped them let go of the past and be full of hope for the future. They thought that, at least for a short period of time, the other party would accompany them. Who would have thought that they would be separated in just half a day.
Lu Yao smiled apologetically: "We are exiled prisoners and must arrive in Ganzhou before a fixed date."
!!!
Everyone almost forgot her other identity.
Tao Xiangling lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in her heart.
No matter how reluctant these women are, they still have to separate in the end.
Fortunately, people from the yamen had arrived, and with them came several kind aunts.
Because there was still a lot of food in the carriage of Lu Yao and the team in front, the children were still taken care of by Lu Mingxiu.
"You didn't get enough rest last night, so take a nap in the car." Lu Mingxiu instructed.
Lu Yao nodded with a smile, "These little guys will be hard on me."
Lu Mingxiu rubbed her head, which caused Lu Yao to protest repeatedly. Lu Mingxiu snorted coldly: "Let's see if you will be polite to me in the future."
Lu Yao directly raised the white flag to show her acceptance and promised not to do that again in the future. She also tried her best to prove her innocence and said that it was just a language habit and she really didn't mean it in that way.
Being polite to your own family members is alienation.
Of course, the efforts of family members must also be recognized and affirmed, and treated with the same affection, so that there can be harmony and peace.
They were half a day's journey behind the main group ahead. After packing up their things and making arrangements, the group did not linger any longer and set off directly.
The girls' eyes did not move away from the departing carriages and horses. They did not retract them until the carriages went farther and farther away and disappeared.
Lu Yao and Rong Yan returned to the carriage without preparing ingredients for the next meal as usual.
Rong Yan hugged her back and let her lie on him: "Go get some sleep first. You've been working hard these past two days."
Lu Yao snorted.
It's not like she's the only one busy; they're all very busy.
Rong Yanhui chuckled: "Let's go together."
Maybe they were really tired, or maybe they had just finished a meal and were easily sleepy. They closed their eyes and fell asleep in a moment.
I slept until I caught up with the team ahead.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Yao rubbed her slightly stiff neck and numb arms, and whispered to the man beside her, "What's going on outside?"
Rong Yanhui lifted the curtain to look outside. After a while, he lowered the curtain and whispered, "The old lady from the Shen family has fainted."
"Fainted?" Lu Yao was surprised. "Is it true?"
Are you pretending?
In her impression, Old Lady Wang was not someone who would suffer any loss. She had accumulated great prestige over the years, and Chen Shiren, the head of the family, always obeyed her orders. Even if she really lost all her money, she would definitely find a way to make herself live well.
Rong Yanhui shook his head, he didn't know either.
Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, unable to help but feel curious, but remembering that she had to go back to prepare dinner, she gave up the idea of lifting the curtain to see what was going on.
As if he could see what his sister Yao was thinking, Rong Yan pinched her hand and said, "I'll ask Brother Pu tonight."
Lu Yao nodded.
She was just curious. The old lady of the Shen family was such a mischievous person, and now she had lost the powerful filter of money. She didn't know how long those people in the Shen family could endure it.
Because they had to return to their residence to prepare dinner first, the carriage continued to move forward without any intention of asking those people to go with it.
According to today's itinerary, they will go to the post station to rest at night. The conditions are relatively more convenient and safer than sleeping outside. There is still a lot of wild boar meat in the car, and many people have not eaten braised food. What was made in the morning was left to General Zhao and others. She plans to make some in the evening as well.
Well, need to do more.
In addition to braised meat, braised bones also need to be prepared.
It will definitely be quite popular.
As expected, the sumptuous dinner once again captured everyone's hearts.
They all said that they wanted more of this delicious food, and if there was anything missing, they should be sure to tell them and they would definitely get it back.
The atmosphere here is the opposite of what has changed here at the Shen family.
Old Mrs. Wang did faint in the afternoon, and she was pretending to be fainted.
She fainted, but couldn't stop. What should she do? Isn't there a cart? Why not push it?
However, Shen Shiren was on the cart, and he was still lying on it. He was grimacing in pain every time he got off and took a few steps. It was impossible for him to get off and walk so that the old lady could lie on it instead.
What should I do then?
Finally, Shen Shiren suggested that he could move to the side and give half to his mother.
The people pushing the cart were instantly disheartened.
Pushing one person would make them lose a layer of skin, and now another one comes, they don’t need to live either.
Those who were already dissatisfied with the current situation immediately wanted to quit like Shen Yulian and the others. They couldn't get any benefits anyway, and there was no need to stay here and do hard labor.
only,
Shen Shiren seemed to have guessed what they were thinking and said immediately: "It's difficult to support the family alone. Our Shen family has not collapsed yet!"
His eyes fell on his proud son. As long as there was a chance, he believed that his son would be able to seize the opportunity and lead the Shen family to become a powerful family again.
Under the threat of Shen Shiren and the stares of the officers and soldiers, those who wanted to leave the family and work on their own had to retract their tentative feet and honestly push the carts and do the hard labor.
However, the sudden doubling of the weight did bring a huge burden. At the beginning, they did not grasp the angle and strength well. An inconspicuous little stone successfully caused the already shaky cart to overturn completely. The angle of the overturn was in the direction of the old lady.
After Old Lady Wang landed on the ground, Shen Shiren followed closely and pressed heavily on the old lady.
The old lady was so furious that after this blow, the person who was pretending to be fainted completely fainted.
Coincidentally, everyone hurriedly carried her and Shen Shiren onto the flatbed. Not long after they started walking, they encountered a downhill road. Just when they breathed a sigh of relief and thought they could relax a little, the flatbed cart was getting faster and faster due to inertia.
Fortunately, their hands never left the handlebars, and even if they reacted quickly and dragged everyone forward for a while, they finally managed to stabilize the cart. However, in the struggle with the impact, the cart lost balance again and overturned again.
Pu Zhiwen is not a good storyteller; it was his wife, Chen Hongwen, who recounted what happened.
After listening to her eloquent description, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh, wondering whether this old lady was lucky or unlucky.
But she also heard something else in it.
Shen Yaoming is the male protagonist of the original book. As long as the plot does not collapse, the protagonist's halo will definitely always be on his head.
Oh no, because he is the chosen one, even if the plot goes awry, or even his parents don’t recognize him, the world will open a big window for the chosen one.
No matter how energetic the old lady is, she is still in her sixties or seventies. How can she withstand such torture?
After doing this twice in a row, he became limp and twisted his waist.
Lu Yao: “…”
Sorry, she smiled in a very unkind way.
A gloating smile.
After all the hustle and bustle last night, we were both physically and mentally exhausted. After dinner today, everyone went to bed early.
A dreamless night.
I had a good sleep and woke up the next day feeling refreshed.
Lu Yao and Rong Yanhui got out of bed quietly, left the room, washed up quickly, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Lu Mingxiu and Mo Zhu were already waiting there.
Lu Yao frowned, disapproving. Lu Mingxiu seemed to know what she was about to say and spoke first: "I had a good rest."
"There's nothing to do in the morning, there's no need for everyone to get up." Lu Yao was helpless towards this stubborn brother.
But everyone was awake, what else could she say?
After making breakfast, Lu Yao and Rong Yan went back together to wake up the two children.
Just then, the miserable cries of Old Lady Wang were heard from next door.
It smells sad and makes the listeners cry.
