Chapter 32 Traveling Together

Chapter 32 Traveling Together
Hearing that the Liu family had two children under the age of ten, Pan Yingying specially asked Yu Chaosheng to bring two bags of half a pound of osmanthus sugar, and also packed a few bags of pastries that could withstand storage.

Nine-year-old Liu Zhizhen and six-year-old Liu Ru were so happy that they kept smiling sweetly at Yu Chaosheng.

Yu Chaosheng saw the two black coal balls showing their white teeth at him and closed his eyes silently.

It's really horrible.

"I would like to thank my brother-in-law for being here." Liu Lin stood up and bowed solemnly to Chaosheng.

My aunt told me that she gave the banknote to my younger cousin without telling her cousin's husband, and she specifically told her not to tell anyone.

He knew very well how difficult it was for his daughter to get married, and he was very grateful to his cousin-in-law for his generosity in giving so many things to his little cousin.

Yu Chaosheng quickly dodged and said, "No need to thank me, we are all family, no need to be so polite."

The woman was the one who made the decision, so he had no room to object. She had the final say anyway.

At this time, Ding Si came over from the room next door and said that Liu Mingxuan wanted to see Yu Chaosheng.

Yu Chaosheng followed Ding Si to the next door.

Liu Mingxuan changed into his cleanest and most decent clothes. When he saw Yu Chaosheng coming in, he waited for him to perform the junior’s etiquette, then raised his hand to the broken door beside him and said, “Sit down.”

Yu Chaosheng sat down calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, and Liu Mingxuan became more satisfied.

He took out the 500 taels of silver notes he had prepared, and said, "This is our first meeting, and as an elder, I don't have much to show you. I only have these few gold and silver items. I hope you don't mind."

Yu Chaosheng was flattered. He didn't expect that his trip would bring him such a pleasant surprise.

He stood up and took it with both hands, "I dare not refuse the gift given by the elder. I thank my uncle for his kindness."

Without even looking at the banknote in his hand, he put it straight into his arms.

He appeared calm on the outside, but he was roaring like crazy in his heart.

He is also a person with private money, hahahaha!
The two didn't talk much because the escorting officers rang the gong to assemble.

Standing on the side of the road, watching the exile team leave the village, when the Liu family passed by, Pan Yingying nodded to Liu Mingxuan and others.

The thin Liu Pianran smiled at Pan Yingying, then lowered her head, covered her mouth with her sleeve and started coughing repeatedly, looking like she was not feeling well.

Zhao's eyes were filled with worry. The Liu family was truly old, weak, and sick, and no one knew whether they could make it to Yaocheng alive.

But she couldn't mention it in front of Yingying. Yingying's safety should be the most important thing. She thought the people in the Liu family should think so too.

Pan Yingying looked at the sickly group and suddenly said, "Why don't we follow the exile team?"

She turned to the crowd and explained, "First, with the officials here, we will be safer. Second, maybe we can do some business. There are still three pounds of nails in the broken boat. I think most of the convicts are ignorant and lazy, and they can't enter the county town."

She stopped at the point. Wang Yougen and Liu Juhua, who were quick-witted and sensitive about money, were the first to react.

Liu Juhua was the first to raise her hand high, "I agree with my little sister's plan."

Wang Yougen also raised his hand and said, "I agree. We can sell the things we buy in the county to the prisoners and collect money for carrying things for them."

Pan Dayin looked at his wife, hesitating whether to raise his hand. Liu Juhua stepped on the back of his foot, causing him to scream in pain.

Everyone laughed, and Pan Dayin's face turned red. Yu Chaosheng gloated over and raised his hand slowly, "Yingying makes the decisions on small matters at home, and I make the decisions on big matters. This is a small matter, so I'll listen to Yingying."

When the two default leaders of the team spoke, the others naturally had no objections and voted in favor.

They absolutely believed in the fighting ability of this young couple. Although they fought the bandits that night and everyone was injured, these two people took care of two-thirds of the people. Apart from a few blisters on their hands, they had no other injuries.

With such a powerful leader, they will definitely be able to reach Yaocheng safely.

After confirming that he would go with the exile team, Yu Chaosheng pointed to the oxcart loaded with water.

"Everyone, take out the water from the buckets. Yingying and I will go out to find some water."

Everyone worked together to divide up the remaining half bucket of water, packed their own luggage, and fed and watered the cattle and horses.

Yu Chaosheng drove a ox cart and took Pan Yingying out of the village.

The two of them wandered around the back mountain of the village for half an hour and only found two kinds of herbs to sell to the mall. Before returning to the village, Pan Yingying scooped water from the water bucket in the space and filled several buckets on the ox cart with most of the water.

The water was enough to support them to reach the county town.

When they returned to the village, everyone had packed up. Yu Chaosheng handed the ox cart to Pan Li and went back to their own carriage with Pan Yingying.

After the last time the bandits robbed food, Pan Li had obviously matured a lot. He was more stable and no longer childish in his words and deeds. Everyone was relieved when they handed over the team's waterwheel to him.

They all took the car, and the speed was not slow. They soon caught up with the exiles, but they did not stop. They passed them and walked ahead.

Liu Ru sat on a handcart pushed by Liu Lin. She looked at the oxcarts with envy, "It would be great if we could ride on an oxcart, too."

Wu Shuxian, who was holding Liu Zhizhen's hand, smiled. Their family had spent 200 taels of silver on this only handcart. If it was an oxcart, wouldn't it cost 2000 taels?
Even if they hid the banknotes, that would be the money they would use to bribe people in Yaocheng in the future. They couldn't waste it now. Didn't you see that your father-in-law was being supported by Ding Si to walk?

Liu Mingwu and Liu Pianran supported each other and whispered to her about Pan Yingying all the way.

"You were thinking about your cousin Yingying last night. Did you see everything just now? The most beautiful one is her."

Liu Pianran nodded, but her heart was in turmoil.

She was now finally sure that she had truly been reborn.

In the previous life, all the members of the Liu family died on the way to exile, and all the property they left behind fell into the hands of Liu Pianran.

After she found an opportunity to escape, she met the fleeing Zhao on her way back to Jiangnan for revenge. At that time, the Pan family had already died out and Zhao was also dying. Before she died, she gave her all the things left by the former Crown Princess.

It was also because of the jade token left by the former Crown Princess and the money in her hands that she was able to help the Fifth Prince ascend the throne smoothly.

It's a pity that the Fifth Prince used her from beginning to end. The person he loved the most was Lu Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. After squeezing out all her value, he turned around and made Lu Qingqing the queen and gave her a cup of poisoned wine.

Before closing her eyes, Liu Pianran thought of the gentle Sixth Prince. If she had chosen the Sixth Prince at the beginning, she would definitely not have ended up like this.

That bamboo-like man had carved a wooden hairpin for her and cooked soup for her. However, she was young and hot-tempered at that time, so she chose the Fifth Prince, whom she liked more.

 It’s on the shelves, and I’ll add another chapter.

  I still have 60,000 words in reserve, hehe.
