Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Soon Lu Qingqing and her group were about to set off again. She asked the man if he had anything else to do.

Xie Kui smiled sarcastically and shook his head. He had nothing to worry about, so his master didn't have to delay his trip for him.

"Then let's go."

Ling Feng drove the carriage, Xie Kui sat next to him, wrapped around the thick cloak, and the Ziyao people behind him also followed in the carriage.

The group continued to drive in the direction of Qizhou.

Xie Kui asked at this time: "Master, do you want to visit relatives in Qizhou or go to the beach?"

Lu Qingqing heard that he seemed to know Qizhou well, so she asked what Qizhou was like.

Xie Kui chuckled and reached out to stroke his short beard, but the beard was awkwardly knotted. He could only put down his hand with an embarrassed smile and said in a deep voice that he was lucky enough to have been to Qizhou once.

"The entire southern part of Qizhou is connected to the sea. As the saying goes, if you rely on the mountains to eat, you will eat the water. Qizhou is also a very prosperous place, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. The previous famine years did not affect Qizhou at all."

When Lu Qingqing heard Xie Kui's words, she yearned for Qizhou even more. Several maids chattered and asked Xie Kui about Qizhou.

He patiently explained everything. During the conversation, Lu Qingqing found that Xie Kui was a wise and calm person, and his speech was also very tactful.

Such a person would be perfect as a shopkeeper, and it would save her a lot of worries.

"Then do you know of any small fishing villages in Qizhou that are suitable for living?"

When Xie Kui heard his master's words, his eyes flashed slightly, and he suppressed the doubts in his heart. He then talked about a small fishing village he had visited in Qizhou before. There were not many people there, but it was surrounded by mountains and faced the sea. It's quite comfortable, but it's a nice place.

"But the master's place is far away from Qizhou City."

Xie Kui talked about the pros and cons of small villages.

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and said softly that it wouldn't be a problem, and then several maids around her started chattering excitedly.

As the two carriages drove by, the sky soon darkened little by little. After running around for a long time, they finally arrived at the next town at sunset.

Shuguang City.

"Master has arrived in Shuguang City, should we inspect the inn first?"

Lu Qingqing asked Ling Feng to find an inn first, and then took Xie Kui to a medical clinic.

"Thank you, Master." Xie Kui thanked Lu Qingqing in the carriage with a trembling voice.

Lu Qingqing smiled faintly and said with a touch of majesty in her voice: "I only hope that you are worthy of my rescue this time..."

Xie Kui repeatedly promised that he would never let his master down.

Xie Kui soon pointed out an inn for Ling Feng. It was one of the few inns in Shuguang City. Safety was guaranteed because the owner of the inn was related by marriage to the county magistrate.

Lu Qingqing decided to listen to Xie Kui's advice. Ling Feng sent the master and others to the inn first. Ziyue went there and asked for four upper rooms.

The middle-aged shopkeeper with a mustache welcomed everyone into the shop politely: "Guests, please come in. The waiter will help the guests drive the carriage into the backyard and feed them some fodder and water."

Lu Qingqing's impression of this inn improved a lot after listening to the shopkeeper's thoughtful arrangements. Xie Kui said it right. This inn is quite good. No wonder it is one of the best in Shuguang City.

The shopkeeper personally led everyone upstairs, and the four upper rooms connected to the left belonged to them.

"These are the guest rooms. If you need anything else, just call."

Then he said hello and turned to leave.

Xia Yun pushed open the door, held the bundle and turned aside to let his master go in. Lu Qingqing walked forward slowly and entered the room. The furnishings inside were eye-catching.

Outside the light purple gauze curtain is a string of bead curtains, which shine softly against the sunlight.

The embroidered bedding on the soft couch inside and on the Eight Immortals table seemed to be from his Qianrou Ling Embroidery Pavilion. I didn't expect that there were people in Shuguang City who liked the things in her shop.

"The taste is quite good."

The maids behind him also expressed their approval. Biyun chuckled at the side. No wonder she felt very comfortable as soon as she came in. It turns out...

Listening to the chatter of several maids, Lu Qingqing came to the window. She stretched out her hand to open the window and saw the bright lights on the street below, and some pedestrians coming and going.

"Master and slave, I'd like to thank you for the hot water. Please freshen yourself up and enjoy your meal, right?"

Lu Qingqing nodded lightly and said that she would go to the space to wash up and let them wash up in the room. As she said that, she asked Biyun to close the window and disappeared into the room.

The remaining maids shrugged helplessly and asked Xia Yun to pour hot water first. After washing themselves, they would have to wait for their master to eat.

When Lu Qingqing came to the space, she first collected all the crops, fruits and vegetables in the spiritual fields in the space, then checked all the medicinal materials grown by the master, poured some spiritual spring water, and then walked towards the yard.

This time she simply took a dip in the spiritual spring bath in the room and did not go to the hot spring in the backyard.

When she was in the middle of soaking, she heard Bai Yan's shouting, which seemed to be right outside her door.

"Bai Yan? The master is taking a bath, go play by yourself first." She shouted loudly towards the door. When she heard her master's words, Bai Yan growled twice and then turned around and left.

When it became quiet outside, Lu Qingqing continued to take a bath with peace of mind. She stroked her belly and felt that there was a magical little life inside. The corners of her lips curled up and she smiled happily.

At this time, Chu Haochen, who was far away in the capital, was entangled in the emperor's orders and was busy all day long.

Having just sat down, he rubbed his brows and asked Mo Er with a tired look, had he received any letters from Qing'er recently?

"Master, not yet!" Mo Er responded softly, looking at his master's face, as if he was afraid that he would be angry.

When Chu Haochen heard the answer, his eyebrows tightened again: "This girl is really big-hearted. She has been gone for several days and didn't even send back a letter."

"Master, don't be anxious. Maybe Anning County Master has been tripped up by something. It will be time to write to the master in two days." Mo Er next to him calmed the master's mood with a clumsy tongue.

Chu Haochen sighed helplessly, really wishing that the matter in the capital would be over soon so he could go find the girl.

In the past two days, I heard that the annoying Chen Lanhui of the Chen family often sent messages to bother his mother. He said to Mo Er in a deep voice, "Go and remind Mr. Chen that my mother has not been well since the death of the Queen Mother. The imperial doctor asked her to rest and it would be inconvenient for her to be disturbed." .”

"Master said this, can Mr. Chen understand?" Mo Er expressed doubts about whether Miss Chen did this under Mr. Chen's instructions.

Chu Haochen sneered and did not continue to explain. He just waved his hand towards Mo Er and said that all he had to do was bring the words to him.
