Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Lian Sheng remembered what the prince said and looked at Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Dazhuang, wanting them to leave.

It's a pity that it is useless to show your charming eyes to a blind man. Of the two, Jiang Dazhuang didn't understand, while Jiang Huaixu pretended not to see it.

Lian Sheng had no choice but to say to the soldier: "Master Jun, please take a moment to speak."

The two moved away.

Jiang Huaixu thought for a while but did not follow. From this distance, she could still hear roughly the conversation between the two even if the sound was low.

Lian Sheng told him about the current situation of Huai'an Mansion that Yun Qi had told him. During this period, he had been struggling with whether to inform these people about Prince Duan's anomaly.

After thinking about it for a while, he still made some insinuations.

Regardless of whether King Duan succeeds in the future, he and the prince have been together for so long, and in the eyes of others, he has become a party to the King of Yan. It's better to do it realistically.

After eavesdropping for a while, Jiang Huaixu heard what he wanted and left slowly.

When they returned to the outside of their tent, Li Qiaoer and others, who were still cautious at first, had a lively chat with the women in the village. In order to repay the villagers for giving them food, they were helping the villagers make winter clothes with needle and thread.

Jiang Huaixu curled his lips slightly when he saw this scene.

She met many people along the way, but not many of them reached out to help. Those who helped her got what she wanted from the other person, and the other person's character was trustworthy in her opinion. It was perfect for both parties to be mutually beneficial.

Now it seems that these girls are repaying their kindness, and I just hope that they can all find their families smoothly.

"Axu!"

Hearing someone calling her name from behind, Jiang Huaixu turned around and said in surprise: "Sister Xiu'er, why are you here?"

The visitor was Lian Yuji, the third daughter of the Lian family. Although she was on the run, she was still wearing a green skirt and small beads on her hair, which attracted everyone's attention.

On the way here, the villagers had never seen the young master and miss of the Lian family at all. They relied on servants or guards to communicate with each other. This was the first time they saw the young master of the Juren family. Everyone looked at her with curiosity and envy.

Lian Yujiao felt the gazes of the villagers, her face flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "I came to talk to you."

Sensing her discomfort, Jiang Huaixu pulled her towards the tent and said, "Don't mind, the folks have no bad intentions, they are just curious."

"Of course I know." Lian Yujiao touched his slightly hot cheek, "It's just that I'm not used to it."

Jiang Huaixu looked at her with a smile on his face, "The way you are dressed is really not down to earth. Not to mention that you are on the run now, even if you are in the village, you will be looked at by people looking like this. The villagers think it is strange and they have never seen it before."

Although Lian Yujiao didn't know what "down-to-earth" meant, she knew the meaning of Jiang Huaixu's words. She knew that Jiang Huaixu was telling her why the villagers looked at her, so she wasn't upset.

She looked down at her clothes and then at the dresses of the little girls around her, feeling a little annoyed.

Her thin white fingers tightly grasped the dress, and she said in frustration: "I don't know what my mother was thinking, but she deliberately dressed up for me before coming..."

Jiang Huaixu blinked when he heard this. She might have guessed it.

He said jokingly: "Is it your mother's idea to come over to play with me this time? If it wasn't your idea, I would be annoyed."

"Don't be upset, don't be upset. Of course I want to come and play with you. I feel envious listening to your bustling life here every day."

Jiang Huaixu led the people into the tent, and after talking for a while, he heard the sound of horse hooves outside.

The two of them opened the curtain and took a look, and happened to see a man in front of him who looked to be in his thirties riding a horse. The murderous aura in his body was frightening. Jiang Huaixu looked at the snow-white horse under him. The horse's eyes lit up.

Knowing that this person had a lot of background, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

"I hope they can expel the Southern Xia people from our territory in Jin Dynasty, so that the people will not be displaced and have to flee." Lian Yujiao murmured with expectation in his eyes as he watched the army go away.

Jiang Huaixu's heart moved.

She and the five daughters of the Lian family could talk to each other a few words, and the other four more or less showed the arrogance of coming from a scholarly family. Only Lian Yujiao did not feel it to her, and Lian Yujiao She has a gentle personality and doesn't fight or fight. This is why she and Lian Yujia are close.

"Sister Xi'er, can you study on weekdays?"

Lian Yujiao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I love reading among our sisters. It's just that although my maternal grandfather's family was from a scholarly family, they never taught their girls to read. Every time they admonished them, they just said, 'Women have no talent.'" That's virtue, so my mother doesn't like me reading too many books, so now I only have The Analects of Confucius and The Book of Songs around me."

Jiang Huaixu was really helpless now. A lady from a wealthy family only had two books by her side. Even in modern times, she couldn't believe it.

In fact, there are not only two books, there is another one she has seen, which is "The Female Ring".

She wanted to say something but felt that her words were too pale. Reading makes sense. Only when you read a lot can you tell right from wrong.

"Sister, my master once left me some books. If you want to read them, how about you come to my place?"

Lian Yujiao's eyes lit up like stars when he heard this, "Is it really possible?"

"of course."

Lian Yujiao looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but found it difficult to say.

"Sister, if you have anything to say, just say it. I won't laugh at you behind your back, I will only laugh in front of you."

Lian Yuji glared at her and then whispered: "Actually, I still have some story books. If you want to read them, we can exchange them."

Jiang Huaixu was interested. She hadn't seen the ancient storybook yet, but she really wanted to read it, so she nodded in agreement.

After that, the two of them talked about the books Jiang Huaixu had read and what they had seen along the way from Huai'an Mansion. It wasn't until the sun set that Lian Yuji reluctantly left.

Li Qiaoer and others have not had much rest since arriving at the villagers' camp. They have been busy with needlework, which relieved many people's worries.

Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, if you don't have thick clothes, you will freeze to death. Chongming Mansion is even colder than Huai'an Mansion, so it is only right to prepare more clothes.

Therefore, many families who had benefited from the benefits took care of the girls' meals. Qian Xiuzhu also prepared some cooked wild vegetable minced meat soup. There was not much meat in it, and it was only salty for people to taste.

The girls also cherished it very much. They only had leftovers to eat and drink in the bandits' den, and they were very grateful to have hot soup to drink.

Just when everyone was having dinner, there was movement on the mountain. The villagers took the pancakes and bowls and walked to the foot of the mountain to look up. They found that the people who came down first were carrying sacks.

"Er baby, what's in the sack?" an old man asked loudly.

"Food is all edible food!"

The villagers were overjoyed, and even Lian Sheng, who came after hearing the news, had a smile on his face.

After the bags of food were brought down, there were weapons, including many bows, arrows and swords.

The villagers exclaimed in surprise. The more Jiang Huaixu looked at it, the more he felt that he should go to the back mountain.

There is gold hidden in the horse pen of this small village. It is really unreasonable that there is no hidden thing in the back mountain specially designed for hiding things.

It's a pity that she was the most suitable person to take Li Qiaoer and others down the mountain at that time.

It doesn't matter, it's not too late.

She grabbed Jiang Wei who was about to squeeze in and said, "Sister, do you want to take the risk?"

"What is taking... a risk?"

Jiang Wei was still confused, and a head squeezed in between the two of them, "I'll go."

"Third brother, do you know what you are going to do?" Jiang Huaixu asked.

Jiang Sanlang replied firmly, "I haven't been to the mountain once. This time, I will go."

Jiang Huaixu lowered his voice and said, "I want to wait until dark to go treasure hunting in the back mountains."

"Back mountain? Behind this mountain?" Jiang Sanlang asked.

Jiang Huaixu nodded.

"But..." Jiang Wei's voice trembled slightly, "Didn't you say that all the bandits died on this mountain?"

Jiang Sanlang swallowed and said, "You have to pass through this mountain to go to the back mountain, right?"

Jiang Huaixu nodded heavily, "That's right!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

The two jumped back and shouted at the same time, then shook their heads wildly, "No, I won't go!"
