Chapter 31: A tael of silver and a meat bun
Chu Lixuan frowned, not happy with the officer's shouting, which could easily wake up his little wife.
After the officials shouted for a while, they went to eat the meat buns that had just come out of the pot. Those who had money also went to buy some.
"Jie'er, I'll give you some money to buy some meat buns for grandma and mother, and for you to eat."
Chu Lixuan handed it to Chu Lijie and Chu Lizheng, one tael of silver each.
The two brothers took the money and went to buy steamed buns. The old lady of the house looked at her eldest son and asked worriedly.
"Xuan'er, where did you get the money? If the officials find out, will they come and beat you?"
"Don't worry, mother, they are all buying buns!"
Since Chu Lixuan dares to take out money, he has nothing to be afraid of.
His grandmother and mother were hungry all day yesterday. If they don't eat enough today, they will have to go on a journey later.
In particular, Chu Lixuan heard his young wife say that his third uncle had such thoughts towards his mother.
Chu Lixuan cannot let his mother face temptation. He has known since he was a child that the human heart cannot withstand the test!
Chu Lizheng and Chu Lijie each received one tael of silver, and the official gave Chu Lizheng five meat buns.
But he only gave Chu Lijie a meat bun, "Take it and get out of here. If you grind it again, I won't even give you one."
Chu Lijie burst into tears of grievance. Chu Lizheng did not dare to say anything and quickly pulled Chu Lijie towards the carriage.
The eldest princess's grandmother said: "Jie'er, you can eat it! Don't cry!"
Chu Lizheng handed five meat buns to his grandmother, "Grandma, here you go."
The eldest princess’s grandmother took the four and said, “Zheng’er, you can eat one too.”
She handed another one to her daughter-in-law, "Jin Niang, you can also eat one while it's hot."
Seeing that there were three more, Chu Lixuan said, "Grandma, eat one, and ask Jie'er to give two to Nu'er and Ye'er. I have the internal energy to heat up the cold steamed buns that are waiting for the delivery. I will use my internal energy to heat them up for the couple to eat."
.”
It was the first time for the eldest princess and her grandmother to see her grandson talk so much. What else could she say?
She had no choice but to do as she was told, not to mention her two granddaughters had already walked over!
When Chu Yeer saw her two younger brothers buying steamed buns, she pulled her sister over.
"Grandma, mother, morning." Chu Nuo was heartbroken all day and night.
She couldn't figure it out and had nothing to do, so she could only cheer up.
The eldest princess's grandmother handed her a meat bun and said, "Nu'er, it's good if you can figure it out. Only when people are alive can they have hope."
"Thank you grandma, Nuer let grandma worry about it!"
The eldest princess’s grandmother gave another meat bun to Chu Ye.
Chu Nu took the meat buns and wanted to take a bite, but she resisted and walked into the carriage.
"Brother, please eat it!"
Before yesterday, Chu Nu, who was well-dressed and well-fed, could not look down upon a meat bun.
However, after a day of hunger, the officer still looked at her.
Chu Nu knew that if her eldest brother was not good, their whole family would be doomed!
"Nu'er, you go ahead and eat! Brother will eat steamed buns later."
"Brother, you still have wounds on your body, how can you eat cold and hard steamed buns?"
Chu Lijie also handed one of his own: "Brother, give it to sister-in-law. I'll eat steamed buns later."
"I ate them all quickly. Do I have to wait until they are cold before eating them?"
Chu Lixuan said sternly, with an indescribable aura.
Frightened, several people quickly took a bite of the meat buns and chewed them slowly.
Jin Niang was the old lady of the Hou Mansion. She and Chu Ye couldn't wait to eat the meat buns after they got them.
It's not that Jin Niang doesn't feel sorry for her son, it's that she was born into a noble family and has lived in fine clothes since she was a child.
I haven't experienced hardship in forty-two years.
