Chapter 221 Extreme Night
Su Manrong just wanted to help the wet nurse and Chun Ming who really cared about the original owner, but she didn't expect that their family would be so determined.
To be honest, in this dynasty, Su Manrong is alone. She also wants to have a few friends who treat each other sincerely...
"Miss, we are willing to go to Sichuan and wait for you."
Seeing that the three of them were so determined, Su Manrong explained her thoughts in full.
Let the three of them go and settle down in the place where they served in Sichuan and Sichuan. There is a village of criminals there, and their lives are no different from ordinary people's lives.
It's just that the criminals' cultivated land requires more grain to be handed over to the government, leaving only enough food for the criminals to survive.
When the criminals arrived in Sichuan and Shu, they were registered as criminals and could move freely. In addition to farming, they could also find other ways to make a living, as long as they paid a lot of tribute grain.
Most people died before they were exiled, or they didn't know how to work in the fields. They would starve to death when they went to Sichuan and Shu, or they wouldn't adapt to the local climate and died of illness.
So when I talk about exile, I feel very scary.
But for Mr. Su, who was born in a rural area, relied on studying questions to get into college, and relied on involution to counterattack, as long as he is alive, let alone a land of abundance like Sichuan...
Even on the moon, she can make her life bloom...
After seeing off the wet nurse and her family, Su Manrong was not in a hurry to return to the inn. She quickly entered the space while the officers on duty were chatting.
I remember that she took a lot of kettles from the Rongfu kitchen. After rummaging through them, she poured the steaming beef soup, pumpkin porridge, and egg drop soup into three kettles in sequence, and then poured the gourd full of them.
milk.
Wrap an elbow of a roasted chicken in oil paper and stuff it into the luggage the wet nurse gave her.
When she came out of the space, she took another oil-paper umbrella. She didn't know whether it came from the Shangshu's Mansion or the General's Mansion.
It is the beginning of spring now, and the weather is a bit unstable in the morning and evening, but at noon the sun is shining directly on the body, which makes it still a bit hot.
She thought about the tender skin of the two little ones. If they were often exposed to direct sunlight and the underlying muscles were damaged, they would not be able to recover.
Yuan'er looks so dewy, and as a mother, she must protect her child's skin. After all, girls should be delicate from the inside out.
"Forget it, if you are too well prepared, you will inevitably attract attention."
Su Manrong had been walking with heavy loads all day, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead. She wanted to take a wooden basin out, soak her feet, and relieve her fatigue.
But considering that the wooden basin is not convenient to carry, I might as well forget it.
"I thought you ran away."
Xiao Chengxian looked around and saw that the old man's carriage was gone, but Su Manrong still hadn't returned. He handed the child to Xiao Chengxiao and hurried out.
I looked around but couldn't find Su Manrong, thinking that if she ran away, it would be best to run far away.
If she is caught and a woman is branded on her face, it would be better to kill her directly.
"I'm not that stupid. If I could run away, I wouldn't wait until now." Su Manrong came from the darkness, carrying two full luggages in both hands.
"Yeah, if I had known you were so tough-mouthed, I wouldn't have left any room for you."
Xiao Chengxian curled his lips, turned around and walked in front of Su Manrong.
The two of them returned to the inn room with their own concerns. Aunt Du and Xiao Chengxiao were each holding a child and were coaxing them to sleep.
"Don't let them sleep yet. There is pumpkin porridge in it to nourish their stomachs. They are still too young to digest eating so much meat."
Su Manrong handed the kettle to Aunt Du and reminded: "I have asked the two wet nurses before, and I also know the eating habits and work and rest patterns of the two children.
They are just learning to walk and they exercise a lot every day. It is best to massage their legs and limbs before going to bed, otherwise they will always cry at night."
"Okay, I'll remember it." Aunt Du nodded repeatedly, and she and Xiao Chengxiao hugged the two children and went to the corner of the room to sit down and drink porridge.
Su Manrong saw the packed luggage and mattresses in the corner, turned around and looked at the closed doors of the east and west wing rooms.
They also knew that the Xiao family would definitely not let them enter the room to rest.
There is not even a door in the main hall, and the cold wind blows in at night...
Everyone in the Xiao Mansion seems to have made up their minds not to give them a way to survive...
"Don't look, we will rest here tonight." Xiao Chengxian leaned at the entrance of the main hall, feeding his pigeons with rice grains: "Counting the time, my beloved concubine will be back soon, beauty, go and greet her
My beloved concubine.”
Su Manrong was eating meat and drinking egg drop soup, and then she felt like she was alive again.
She had been gathering strength to rush on her way before, and she didn't feel any discomfort on her body. Now that she could relax temporarily, she only felt that her whole body ached, and her shoulders were even more burning.
She rubbed her shoulders in pain, "Hiss..."
I took a deep breath, and I didn't know what was going on on my shoulder. It felt like it was on fire, and it was heartbreakingly hot.
Xiao Chengxian opened the pigeon cage and released the remaining pigeon. He stood up casually and came behind Su Manrong.
Su Manrong struggled and turned his head, unable to see what was wrong with his shoulder.
She thought she would find a chance to enter the space and look in the mirror later, so she continued to chew on the unfinished chicken legs.
Feeling a sudden coldness on her shoulders, she turned around and saw Xiao Chengxian tearing off her clothes and staring at her fair shoulders.
Those evil eyes are showing a mean look...
"Are you sick?"
Su Manrong pushed him hard and put on his clothes.
Although she is modern, when she attends a party, she wears a tube top dress, and her fragrant shoulders and beautiful back are seen by everyone.
She is not an ancient person, and her thoughts are not that pedantic. But this is not an excuse for Xiao Chengxian to be a rogue to her!
"The skin is worn off, but you are strong." Xiao Chengxian frowned, turned around and found a bottle of ointment from his luggage: "Apply it twice more, and there should be no scars."
"How..." Su Manrong was surprised by Xiao Chengxian's unwarranted concern, but out of politeness, she still had to express her gratitude.
"You're already in this state, how can you carry the child tomorrow?"
"..." Su Manrong twitched the corner of her mouth, but luckily she didn't say the word "Thank you", otherwise her mouth would have hurt a lot.
She thought Xiao Chengxian's conscience found out and thanked her for her efforts for her two children...
I didn't expect him to be so concerned about giving her the ointment, just so that she could continue to grind tomorrow?
"My beloved concubine is back."
Xiao Cheng raised his lips in envy, shook his head evilly, and rushed out with a quick stride.
Two pigeons stood obediently on his left and right shoulders. The officials who came after hearing the news could not hide their excitement on their faces.
It seemed that the pigeon had brought back good news. Su Manrong smiled at the official in the yard and continued to drink the egg drop soup from the kettle.
After eating, Su Manrong asked the official where the latrine was, and excused herself to stay there for a while because she had a stomachache, telling Xiao Chengxian to pay attention to the two children.
She covered her nose and entered the latrine. She dared not breathe until she entered the space directly.
"Master Jun, the woman just now was still a daughter-in-law. You knocked her unconscious and took her back. The two escorting officers just thought she had escaped halfway.
