Chapter 6: Hanging out with my younger siblings, eating nine meals a day
There were ten white flour buns in the oil paper bag. Shen Xun took two and stuffed the rest into Chen Dexi's hands.
"You guys eat, I'll go over there."
Shen Xun nodded. The direction she pointed was where Zhong Danyue was.
Qi Yunzhou originally wanted to deliver food to Zhong Danyue himself, but then he changed his mind and realized that Zhong Danyue would not eat it if he delivered it, so he had to trouble his mother to go there.
He looked at the thin Zhong Danyue with concern. She hadn't eaten anything last night, and if she didn't eat something today, she would not be able to bear it.
"Thank you, mother."
Qi Yunzhou whispered.
Shen Xun patted his shoulder, "Zhou'er, let me ask you a question, you and Miss Zhong..."
After she left, Xie Lan handed Qi Yunzhou a steamed bun and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
Qi Yunzhou rolled his eyes at him and said, "No."
Xie Lan: “…”
He glanced at Chen Dexi, who smiled innocently, "Mr. Xie, don't ask me. I don't know anything."
Since his master doesn't like Xie Lan, he naturally has to unite with his master.
After traveling for a whole morning, Zhong Danyue was tired and hungry, and could not even chew the bread she received.
When Shen Xun sat next to her, a faint aroma of steamed buns filled the air, and Zhong Danyue couldn't help swallowing.
"Eat," Shen Xun handed the steamed bun to her. Seeing her resistance, he said, "Don't you still have to go find your fiancé? The journey has been very hard. If you don't eat, your body won't be able to bear it."
"This steamed bun is given to you by me. It has nothing to do with Yunzhou."
Having said that, Zhong Danyue did not refuse anymore, silently took the steamed bun, and whispered a thank you to Shen Xun.
She took a small bite and found that there was meat filling inside the steamed bun, which was very filling.
"I asked Yunzhou just now," Shen Xun suddenly said, "I asked, if you really can't fall in love with him, will he let you go."
Zhong Danyue paused, "Will he?"
Shen Xun shook his head, "He said he wouldn't."
The light in Zhong Danyue's eyes dimmed, and she said with hope: "Miss Shen, you said you could help me escape from Qiyunzhou, I wonder if this is true?"
Shen Xun handed Zhong Danyue a handkerchief, "Of course it counts."
"But, Miss Zhong, can you give Yunzhou a chance?"
"Chance?"
Shen Xun nodded, "It's a fair chance for Jiang Xinming to pursue you."
…
"Yue'er agreed?!"
Qi Yunzhou almost jumped up with joy when he got Shen Xun's affirmative answer!
Shen Xun curled the corners of his lips, very happy that his son was so happy.
I didn’t want to have too much contact with the male and female protagonists before because I was afraid that their family would end up like in the plot.
But the plot given by the system is wrong. Does that mean that the future is uncertain and it’s okay for the heroine and the villain to be together?
For the happiness of his silly son, Shen Xun decided to fight for it.
Shen Xun instructed Qi Yunzhou: "Let's make a deal. If Miss Zhong doesn't choose you in the end, you are not allowed to use any imprisonment or forced love again."
Qi Yunzhou nodded hurriedly, but he felt that with his mother's help, he would definitely be able to bring Yue'er back!
As his relationship with Zhong Danyue had made good (?) progress, Qi Yunzhou's appetite increased greatly and he ate three large steamed buns in one breath.
King Hu, who was chewing a hard biscuit not far away, was so greedy that he started drooling.
Prince Hu's son Qi Jingcheng spent some silver to exchange the cake for a softer one, but in front of Prince Hu's loose teeth, it was no different from the cake that had caused his teeth to break out before.
"Alas," King Hu sighed, "I have lived a life of wealth and luxury for half my life, but now, in my old age, I have to suffer this."
Qi Jingcheng gnawed on a hard biscuit and said unhappily, "Dad, please be content. It's good enough to have something to eat."
It’s okay for those of them who have enjoyed a good life, but poor his children, who are only six or seven years old, have to suffer with him.
Fortunately, he married a wife and had a son and a daughter, otherwise the silver he hid would not be enough to spend.
Qi Jingcheng kept muttering, "Dad, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you had a better relationship with the late emperor, I would be able to go to my cousin in Yunzhou and ask for a steamed bun."
But Prince Hu and the late emperor had never been on good terms. When the late emperor was alive, the two fought to the death. How could he ask for it?
King Hu glanced at his grandchildren, then looked at Shen Xun who was talking to Qi Yunzhou, gritted his teeth, and said, "You wait."
Qi Jingcheng looked confused.
Wait, what are you waiting for?
Qi Jingcheng watched his father stand up, slowly stroll to Qi Yunzhou, and start talking to the girl next to him.
Like Chen Dexi, King Hu’s eyesight was blurry due to his old age. When he looked at Shen Xun from a distance, he felt that Shen Xun looked somewhat familiar. When he got closer to take a look, he was so scared that he almost jumped up!
“You you you!”
King Hu said in horror: "You are..."
Shen Xun looked at him helplessly, thinking that it was really troublesome and he had to explain.
But before she could speak, King Hu exclaimed, "My dear nephew, not only have you found a replacement for your father, but you've also found a replacement for your mother?"
He looked Shen Xun up and down, and exclaimed in amazement: "You really look exactly like your mother."
The corner of Shen Xun's mouth twitched, and he said to Qi Yunzhou: "Prince Hu's temperament really hasn't changed at all."
Prince Hu exclaimed, "The voice is the same, nephew, where did you get this?"
"Crawled out of hell," Shen Xun said unhappily, "Prince Hu, I haven't seen you for many years, and you're still the same."
He has been with King Hu all the way. Judging from his behavior, he wants to take refuge in Qiyunzhou. Instead of letting King Hu discover the truth halfway, it is better to tell him directly.
King Hu was silent.
King Hu was shocked.
It took him a quarter of an hour to digest the news.
"So," Hu Wang's eyes were full of stars. "Sister-in-law, look, your uncle hasn't eaten yet..."
Shen Xun: “…”
You are so quick to learn!
Shen Xun gave him some food, and when King Hu took it back, Qi Jingcheng was very puzzled.
"Dad, you fought so fiercely with the late emperor, why would your cousin give you food?"
King Hu slapped him on the head and said, "Even food can't stop you from talking."
He and the late emperor fought fiercely, but that was an internal struggle. Once there was an external enemy, they would unite to fight against it.
Prince Hu took a bite of the steamed bun fiercely. This was not enough. He had saved the lives of the late emperor and his wife in the past.
Now Shen Xun is supporting their whole family, isn't that too much?
My sister-in-law is capable of getting food, so we won't have to worry about food and drink during the journey.
Prince Hu kicked Qi Jingcheng and said, "Son, see, the girl next to Yunzhou is his adoptive mother. From now on, we will follow that girl and have no worries about food and drink."
Qi Jingcheng rubbed his buttocks and said, "Oh."
Just let him get away with it, why kick him!
The staff in Prince Hu's mansion are simple, perhaps because they inherited Prince Hu's simple minds. They just do whatever Prince Hu says.
The family of five packed up quickly and gathered together with Shen Xun and the others to keep warm.
King Hu also whispered to Chen Xun if he had any meat. He loved meat and felt uncomfortable after not eating meat for just one day.
Shen Xun rolled his eyes at him, covered it with his sleeve, and handed him an oil-paper bag.
