My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The long ride made the legs swollen and swollen. When Zhong Wei told him to rest on the spot, people quickly took advantage of this rare respite and got out of the car to stretch their bodies.

As soon as Su Yunwan raised the curtain, she saw Qin Mu standing next to the car and reminded: "Sister-in-law, be careful when getting out of the car."

"Wanwan, let me help you." Zhao Keyan strode over and held Su Yunwan's hand.

Su Yunwan took her hand and stepped on the footstool to get out of the car steadily.

After her feet landed on the ground, she looked sideways with a smile: "Qin Mu, why didn't you go with your elder brother?"

Qin Mu's tone was a little lonely: "With Wu Shaohan and Ying Jiu here, there is no need for me."

With a puff, Su Yunwan smiled: "They are them, and you are you."

"I am in charge of punishment, and I need to see that everyone in the Qin family behaves themselves." Qin Mu forced his respect.

Su Yunwan couldn't help laughing: "That's true, but your eldest brother's most trusted and reliable younger brother is none other than you."

Qin Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face showed a hint of shyness.

Ever since Qin Junxian was on duty, he felt very awkward.

On the one hand, he was worried that Qin Junxian would replace him in his eldest brother's heart and marginalize him.

On the other hand, he wanted Qin Junxian to serve him well, and not to appear to respect his eldest brother like in the past, but repeatedly sided with the Pei family to do harm.

For this reason, he is in a dilemma whether he is competing for favor or not. He is really in a dilemma.

Now that Su Yunwan said this, he immediately felt relieved.

No matter how many people gather around my eldest brother, he is definitely the most admired and pious one, and no one can get past him!

Su Yunwan noticed his awkwardness in recent days and saw that he had regained his composure, so she said nothing more.

Zhao Keyan listened to them silently, and when she caught a glimpse of Qin Mu's expression, she seemed to have guessed something, lowering her head to hold back a smile.

Not long after, Qin Junyi and others came back, and they unanimously decided to bypass the war-torn Jizhou City and pass through from the north.

But in this case, we need to face the biggest problem: food and water cannot be replenished in time.

In the past, due to road closures in the cities they passed through, the exiled team often did not receive supplies, so they had to cut back on food and water.

Now we are about to run out of food and water. If we cannot go to Jizhou City to replenish supplies, the consequences will be disastrous.

It was inevitable that he would fall into a war, so Qin Junyi had no choice but to apologize and ask Su Yunwan for support.

After hearing this, Su Yunwan smiled nonchalantly and said: "The soldiers and horses in Jizhou are in chaos, it is the best way for us to avoid it, how can we still dive in headfirst.

Food and grass are not a problem, just use mine first. As for drinking water, my water storage capacity may not be enough for thousands of people to consume for a long time, but I can find water sources along the way. "

During the subsequent trip, Su Yunwan secretly placed the food in the space nearby at frequent intervals, and then Qin Mu, Wu Shaohan, Shi Er and other knowledgeable people were responsible for transporting it.

Either to the soldiers, to Qingxuan, or to be brought back to the exiled team.

Some of the shares brought back from the exiled team were kept for the Qin family's own use, and some were sold at market prices to Zhong Wei, the Chu family and other contributors.

Faced with the large amount of food mysteriously obtained by the Qin family's shadow guards, the shadow guards and soldiers led by Qing Xuan all followed the orders and prohibited them. Even if they were tempted, no one would criticize them.

Only the people formed a complex exile team, many people talked privately, and rumors spread everywhere.

Among them, the most popular rumor is that before the Qin family was ransacked and exiled, they hid a large amount of money, materials and manpower, enough to deal with various disasters.

Since there was no extra work, the prisoners' food was reduced to two meals a day, with each meal being served in portions of one woofou.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Even if they don't have to walk, many people can't stand the feeling of hunger.

However, because of the addition of the imperial chef and no shortage of ingredients, the Qin family's daily diet is as rich and delicious as ever.

Either for food or for a future, many people came to the Qin family to seek help.

The male prisoner wanted to sell himself to the Qin family, but he was already a criminal and was not free. He could only say that he would help the Qin family in exchange for food.

The female prisoner who had not yet left the chamber found another way and tried her best to challenge the men and guards of the Qin family, trying to recommend herself as a pillow.

There is even a branch of the Chu family that has split up and wants to sell their children to the Qin family, with the idea of ​​letting the Qin family raise their children for them.

For a time, both the master and the guards of the Qin family became popular among people.

Even Mr. Pei had many people show his kindness.

As for the Qin family, as they were on the road right now, they had neither work nor manpower. Qin Junyi only said that he would ask them for help if needed in the future.

Other people with impure intentions, Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan, did not show up at all, and were directly stopped and dismissed by the shadow guards.

However, after those people were sent away, they were still working hard in the dark.

In the early morning of this day, the old lady went out to relieve herself, accompanied by Mrs. Lin. When she came back, there was a petite and exquisite woman beside her.

She brought the woman to Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan who were waiting for the meal, raised a smile and said: "Brother Yi, Wanwan, my grandmother likes this girl and wants to keep her close to serve her."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the woman was blessed and introduced herself eloquently: "General, Madam, the little girl's name is Chu Qingqing, and she is a concubine from the second branch of the Chu family. The little girl's father has died of illness, and there are still people at home. My mother and four younger siblings are left, and my daughter wants to sign a living contract to share the burden with her family."

Qin Junyi looked solemn: "Grandma, our family only needs servants who have signed the death contract."

There are two types of maids today: hired help and those who sell themselves as maids.

The former sign a living contract with the master with personal freedom. Just like a long-term worker, the master must pay monthly silver as a reward, and cannot kill at will, nor can he decide her marriage.

As long as you have money to redeem yourself or the contract expires, you can leave.

The latter is a complete betrayal. The master takes care of food, housing, and occasional rewards, and does not need to pay for them. He can also kill them at will like private property.

In addition, the master can also order her to be the wife or concubine of the male son in the family, or betroth her to a useful domestic slave, and the children they have with the domestic slaves are also slaves.

No matter how humble a concubine and the concubine and concubine born to her are, it is better than being a slave and maidservant for generations.

This is why since ancient times, many maids have climbed into their master's bed.

The Qin family's family law in the Northwest General's Mansion is extremely strict. They don't even value the lives of their concubines, let alone slaves and maids. In addition, there are many military secrets in the mansion, so naturally they only use servants and prostitutes.

The royal palace in the capital has no shortage of household resources. In addition to the maids given by the royal family, in order to make use of them, they also directly buy them rather than hire them.

In fact, not only the Qin family, but also any well-established wealthy family would hire servants to serve them for a long time.

After several generations of accumulation, the Qin family has many servants in the northwest who are moving to Youzhou City.

As long as this period of time is passed, once they are in place, the Qin family will not be short of people to take care of them.

Qin Junyi didn't want to add new people during this special period to avoid being taken advantage of and to prevent Wan Wan's magical power from being leaked, so he just used the contract to get rid of it.

Chu Qingqing's face instantly turned pale when she heard this. Unlike other women who had ulterior motives, she really just wanted to make money to support her family.

Asking her to sell herself directly would be worse than killing her.

At this time, she did not know that the so-called exile of young female prisoners meant being sent to military camps to become camp prostitutes.
