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

At this time, the Lingxi people who were far away at the border had just buried their mother when they heard that the king of Cangnan not only sent people to secretly look for him, but also personally launched a war against the Yuan Kingdom.

Ling Xi and others decided to settle down in the border town first, and then bought a cheap small yard. After settling Hui Niang and her son, they began to search for beggars from the whole city.

Imitate what my previous master did, and arrange for people to teach them martial arts and some information-seeking techniques, so that an information network can be formed between the border city and Cangnan, which can be used by them in a timely manner, and can also accumulate some strength for the master in the future. .

In Ling Xi's heart, he was still his master's subordinate no matter where he was, and everything he did would be for the sake of his master.

"Tian'er must take good care of your mother while we are away. When we come back, you must not miss out on your martial arts practice. I will check with your master when we come back."

Lu Er was admonishing Hui Niang from the side. This time spent together made Hui Niang more and more dependent on Lu Er, and she would discuss everything with him.

This time they left, Hui Niang was also very worried, and took out the new robes she had sewn for the two of them and put them in his hands.

"You two must be more careful outside. You don't have to worry at home."

After saying that, Ling Xi called Lu Er to set off. The two of them looked at the small courtyard, then turned and left. The west corner of the courtyard was piled with firewood that they had chopped before they left.

The water tank in the kitchen is also full. As for food, Ling Xi left enough money for Huiniang, which can still ensure the lives of mother and son.

Chu Haochen and Lu Anping from the capital had already set off towards the border today. Jingyi took a carriage and rushed to see her husband off at a pavilion ten miles away from the capital early in the morning.

But she still didn't catch up. The team had already set off. She stood under the carriage and looked at her husband's retreating figure. Her nose felt inexplicably sore and her eyes became red.

The maid next to her persuaded her: "Young madam, don't be sad. The general feels so distressed when he sees it! Go back. It's windy today. How can you stand standing in the wind?"

Jingyi wiped the tears from her eyes and was supported by the maid, then she turned and walked towards the carriage.

On the way back from the carriage, Jingyi thought about going to Huangjue Temple to offer incense to wish her husband a smooth expedition.

"Car driver, go to Huangjue Temple."

The little maid in the carriage shouted to the coachman outside.

"Oh, okay, Madam, sit down and I'll turn the car around."

As he spoke, the coachman shook off his whip and drove in the direction of Huangjue Temple. Jingyi didn't know that her good sister Lu Yayun was also heading towards Huangjue Temple at this moment.

This time she heard from some noble ladies in Beijing that the marriage lottery in Huangjue Temple was very accurate, and that was what she was going for this time.

Lu Yayun often asked her personal maid to inquire about some information about King Yi, just so that she could meet King Yi occasionally, but King Yi always treated her with courtesy and simply said hello.

It was not that she had no money to beg her father before, but her father always used various excuses to frustrate her.

Here Lu Jingyi and the maid got off the carriage and walked towards Huangjue Temple. Looking at the temple gate halfway up the mountain from a distance, it was already full of people.

"Young Madam, the incense in Huangjue Temple is really prosperous. I heard that the lottery in the temple is very effective. Do you want to go and ask for a fortune as well?"

Jingyi smiled slightly and shook her head, she would not join in the fun.

"Eldest sister? Why did the eldest sister leave the house and come to Huangjue Temple today? Is it because..." As she spoke, Lu Yayun looked at Jingyi's belly, her slender fingers pressed against her lips and teased her Raise your eyebrows.

Jingyi knew her temper and didn't bother to argue with her. She just said softly that she was just here to offer incense and pray for peace, and then asked her where she came...

Lu Yayun curled her lips and said with a sarcastic face that she was not as lucky as her eldest sister. She wanted to ask for a fortune: "I hope that my little sister can have such a good fortune as my eldest sister and be able to find a good husband."

When the maid next to Jingyi heard her words, her face was full of anger and she wanted to refute. At this time, Jingyi had already ended the useless conversation between the two and called the maid to turn around and leave.

Looking at Jingyi's leaving figure, Lu Yayun stamped her feet unwillingly and muttered: "What's the big deal, scoff!"

Jingyi's maid asked her master why he didn't say anything against the second young lady. It was the master's soft temperament that made the second young lady act so sinister every time he spoke.

Jingyi smiled: "Okay, don't be angry, she didn't do anything to us, right?"

After saying that, she took the maid and walked towards the main hall. At this time, the person offering incense in front of her just left. Jingyi lifted up her skirt and walked slowly into the main hall.

Jingyi prayed devoutly in front of the Buddha, asking him to bless her husband's expedition and end the war as soon as possible so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment and no longer suffer from the war.

She knelt down and prayed in front of the Buddha for a moment and then stood up. The maid stepped forward to help her and donated a lot of 100 taels of sesame oil money before walking outside. The great monk who just walked out of the hall came to Jingyi.

"Amitabha! Everything my wife wishes for can come true. Although there are some twists and turns in the process, I can still get through it safely in the end. Madam, don't worry!"

Jingyi felt much relieved after hearing the great monk's words. She said a few words of thanks to the great monk for his blessed body, and turned to leave.

However, this scene was seen by Lu Yayun who came from afar, and he recognized at a glance that the great monk should be the host Ji Ran that the noble ladies in the capital called him. He was not easy to explain to others.

Her face instantly darkened, and she muttered displeasedly: "Eldest sister is really scheming, just like the eldest lady. She didn't even tell her that she knew host Ji Ran and just followed me."

Lu Yayun called to the maid beside him and walked towards the master and servant Jingyi, stopping them as they were about to leave.

He glanced at Jingyi with a sinister tone: "Sister, do you know host Ji Ran? Why don't you say anything to me? If you want to see my sister's jokes at this time, you..."

"Okay, second young lady, you have been disrespectful with your words since you just met my sister-in-law. Now you come here to stop the master. What are you going to do? And where is the young lady who Jiran is presiding over?"

The little maid's words not only did not make Lu Yayun lose her momentum, but instead angered her. She was about to slap the little maid with her backhand, but was stopped by Jingyi beside her, who grabbed her hand and threw it aside.

"Lu Yayun, don't look for trouble. If you continue to mess around, don't blame me for being rude. I don't think I'll go back to my house to chat with my father for many days. You have learned to be so aggressive. How have I ever known anyone who presides over Ji Ran?"

A trace of resentment flashed in Lu Yayun's eyes. Looking at her eldest sister who had been provoked by her, she began to wonder in her heart whether the eldest sister really didn't know her...
