Chapter 34 Strange
About ten people came to inquire about the order. Liu Juhua was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Her family made the most dried chickens, 15 in total, and sold 8 of them at once.
And now you don’t have to pay money to the public. You only need to give 10 taels of silver to your parents-in-law to settle down after you arrive in Yaocheng.
All the money she earned on the road was in her own hands, how could she not be happy?
She secretly counted the money in her home last night and found that the family's savings were almost 50 taels. She just sold 8 dried chickens and two pieces of bacon, so there was definitely 60 taels left.
The adults were selling grain, meat and water, while the children were selling wild vegetables they picked on the road. Yu Chun'er and Yu Qiu'er couldn't finish the osmanthus candy in their hands, so they took out most of it to sell.
Every time she cooked for her uncle's family, her aunt would give them some snacks or candies. Now that the weather was hot, they couldn't eat much, so they might as well sell them for silver so they could buy what they wanted when they went to the next county. The two sisters decided to make a new set of clothes for each person in the family.
Pan Yingying smuggled a lot of rice out of the space and sold it, especially the cheap rice bought from the mall, which sold the best. Almost every prisoner who came bought a piece of rice. The least he bought was ten kilograms, and the most he bought was 50 kilograms.
Then came the prepared medicine packages. She and Yu Chaosheng filled the prescriptions themselves. Since the names were on the medicine cabinets anyway, and they used a small electronic scale to strictly weigh the medicines, there would basically be no problems. It was just a little troublesome and a little slower, but they managed to get a lot out during this time.
Both sides had a very happy night.
The fleeing team exchanged their excess supplies for silver, and the prisoners also improved their lives.
When everyone finished their work and sat by the fire to rest, Wang Youcai, who was always honest and dull, came up with an idea.
Only a few people in the exile group had carts, and since he knew carpentry, he thought that maybe he could make a few carts and sell them to them.
After hearing what he said, Old Man Pan slapped his thigh and said, if the cart is OK, then he can also make some backpacks. It is so inconvenient to carry a bundle, so a backpack is more practical! It can also be used to carry children, and there are many children in the exile team.
Yu Chaosheng didn't interfere and just let them do their job.
A few women discussed it and decided to make shoes. The fabric was already there, and the convicts had to rely on their legs to walk, so their shoes would definitely wear out.
Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, and the younger ones were not to be outdone. They sat together and put forward their own creative ideas.
Pan Yingying leaned back in the carriage, playing with a dagger in her hand, thinking about her cousin.
The person who came to the Liu family to buy things just now was Liu Pianran.
Yu Chaosheng went over and huddled together with her. "What are you thinking about?"
Pan Yingying frowned unconsciously. There was nothing that could not be discussed between her and Yu Chaosheng except money, so she said directly, "I think that Liu Pianran is very strange."
Yu Chaosheng took out an orange from the carriage, peeled it and handed half of it to her, and asked casually, "What's strange about it? What did she tell you?"
Pan Yingying didn’t know how to describe it, “It’s just… she mentioned to me the things left behind by her original mother.” Logically speaking, the Liu family should not know about it.
She remembered what Liu Pianran had said to her.
"Cousin, you must take good care of the things your aunt left for you."
She repeated what she had said to Yu Chaosheng, "Tell me, isn't it very strange?"
Yu Chaosheng swallowed the orange and hummed. "It's a bit strange. How did she know that the original mother must have left something behind?"
After thinking for a while, he suggested, "Why don't we ask my mother-in-law? Did the original mother tell the Liu family? She must know." Pan Yingying thought this was feasible, so she took out two oranges from the carriage and put them in her arms, then jumped off the carriage and walked towards Zhao.
Yu Chaosheng looked at her from behind, rubbing his chin and muttering to himself, "This woman is so nervous, it seems that she left a lot of things behind..."
Pan Yingying called Zhao aside and told her what Liu Pianran said. Zhao's face changed instantly.
"Impossible! In order not to implicate the Liu family, Her Majesty has never sent a letter! It is even more impossible for her to tell them such an important thing!" She herself had not yet told Yingying about the Dragon Shadow Guard.
She grabbed Pan Yingying's hand and said, "You must keep your things safe!"
Pan Yingying was puzzled, "Mom, what on earth is it?" If it was just the treasures and banknotes, Liu Pianran would not have come here specially to mention them.
Zhao sighed, lowered her voice, and said in a very serious tone: "It was the Dragon Shadow Guards left by His Highness. There were 2000 of them. After His Highness passed away, they escorted Her Majesty to escape and were dismissed by Her Majesty. They can be recalled using the jade token."
After saying this, she also felt confused. The Liu family couldn't possibly know this. She only found out about this before the Queen's death. This was the life-saving talisman that the Queen left for her daughter.
Pan Yingying pretended to be relaxed, took out an orange from her bosom and handed it over, "Don't worry, mother, as long as I don't want to give it, no one can take my things from me."
Zhao looked at the bright red oranges and gave her a reproachful look, "I am an old woman and I don't have many years left to live. Your son-in-law has worked hard to find these for you, so you can keep them for your own health."
Pan Yingying pouted and stretched out a hand to hold her arm. "If you want to say that, I won't agree. You have to live a long life. Otherwise, what if I get bullied by Yu Chaosheng?"
"How can he still bully you? It's good enough if you can beat and scold him less every day." Zhao smiled and put the oranges into her arms. It turned out that when they were in Panjiaao, the two families were separated by some distance. In the beginning, Yu Chaosheng was always beaten and ran over to complain. Later, the relationship between the couple improved a little, and there was no news of beatings again.
It was not until she had walked this path that she realized that there was no such thing as not getting beaten. It turned out that both parties were willing to fight and to be beaten.
"Oh! Mom! Which side are you from?" Pan Yingying stomped her feet. She didn't hit or scold the boy at all. It was not like he didn't fight back or talk back. At most, what happened between them was a fight.
Zhao looked at her with a smile, "The relationship between the young couple is getting better and better."
Pan Yingying snorted twice and didn't want to explain this problem.
……
……
The two sat on the hillside again. Pan Yingying looked solemn. "My mother said that the original body's mother left behind a 2000-man Dragon Shadow Guard. It's impossible for the Liu family to know about it."
Yu Chaosheng's eyes fell on the camp of the exile team, "But Liu Pianran seems to know, and is very sure."
Pan Yingying turned her head and looked at him, "Why? When her original mother died, she should have been just over one year old."
Yu Chaosheng picked up a piece of dry grass and put it in his mouth, then lay on the ground with his hands behind his head.
"Based on my many years of experience reading novels, this Liu Pianran... is either a time traveler or a reincarnated one."
"Or to put it in a more fantasy way, the world we live in is a novel, and she is traveling through it."
Can you comment and vote to help me get on the list? Thank you, my dears.
