Happiness System

Chapter 344: True Gold's Escape 6

Meng Yuxi was feeling very annoyed, and when she saw Wen Yujin coming over, she followed him out.

After staying in the specially cleaned-up planting base for a few days, he pulled Wen Yujin up the mountain to become the chosen one.

After hiding outside for nearly ten days, Meng Yiyun asked someone to tell her to go back.

Meng Yuxi guessed that things were almost quiet at home, so she quickly and quietly ran back home.

"Get married?" She was stunned and stammered.

Meng Yiyun looked at her with amusement, "I see that you and Ajin get along well, so you should have no objection."

Meng Yuxi pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Daddy, I'm still young! Besides, it's not good to be displaced for two months..."

Meng Yiyun sighed, "It is because of the need to escape famine that we need to get married quickly! Whether it is for you or for the family, it is better for you to get married as soon as possible!

But it is not appropriate to make a big deal about the current situation. It will be unfair to my daughter."

Meng Yuxi thought for a while before she realized that her grandfather had retired and her uncle was only a fourth-rank official. No one in their family held a position of real power.

The last time they found salt crystals, Wen Yujin only helped them get ten guards and five good horses...

This time, the Meng family wanted to use Wen Yujin's relationship to improve their ranking, and her identity as a fiancée alone was naturally not enough.

Meng Yuxi didn't mind the plotting at home. In fact, she felt more comfortable marrying into the Wen family.

The Wen family has only one master, Wen Yujin. Wen Yujin has little market in this era when ancestors stick together, but he is a hot commodity in later generations!

The wedding date was set for August 16, twenty days before the departure of the famine escape!

After the marriage, the Meng family's crops were ripe and ready to be harvested, and then Wen Yujin would help them to offer them and improve their travel ranking.

In the original owner's life, she insisted on observing mourning for her father, and she had nothing to offer as sacrifice, so her family was ranked quite low, far behind some small families, and behind them were ordinary people.

Moreover, at that time, there were only two of the five horses left in the Meng family when they set out.

One group of people pulled the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled in the family, while another group pulled supplies. Even adult men had to push carts and pull luggage together with the guards.

"Sister Xi, do you want to go find the Chosen One?"

Meng Shibai had been dismissed from his post as an official, and he could not stay at home, so he ran here.

Meng Yuxi was fiddling with her wedding dress. She looked up at him and said, "My aunt asked me to embroider the wedding dress at home. Aren't you afraid of being scolded if you ask me to go out?"

"It looks really good!" Meng Shibai pulled her wedding dress and put it down again, "You can't embroider two more flowers, you might as well go out for a walk!"

"That's right!" Meng Yuxi put the things away. "In fact, according to me, when the auspicious time comes, we can just carry a red sedan chair over for the ceremony and that's it. Why would we waste food by hosting a banquet?"

The corner of Meng Shibai's mouth twitched. "Stop talking about this. The elders are feeling guilty and wronged for you!"

As it was not convenient to meet other men as the wedding date was approaching, Meng Shibai did not invite the Li family to go up the mountain with him. Only his brothers went with him.

This time, Meng Yuxi brought back a lot of cabbage, radishes, and mustard. She also brought a lot to her own yard and asked people to make a lot of sauerkraut and pickles, saying that she would bring them to the Wen family as a dowry.

No one in the Meng family said anything. In this year, grain was indeed the most decent and simple dowry!

On the fifteenth day of August, Meng Yuxi had people make some simple mooncakes, and the family had a meal together. The next day, she got married and became a wife of the Wen family.

The wedding was simple, but Wen Yujin gave her all the dignity she deserved, and there was no dissatisfaction or regret.

Three days after returning home, Meng Yuxi once again became the Chosen One with the people from the Wen and Meng families. She also secretly did a lot of small things, and then she stayed at home and prepared to escape the famine.

The Wen family is no worse than the Meng family, whether it was more than ten years ago or now.

Fortunately, the Wen family's housekeeper is used to worrying about things and is very capable, so Meng Yuxi doesn't have to worry about household affairs.

It's a happy and leisurely time!

"We will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go out and take a good look at our Tianyuan City?"

Wen Yujin had been either in the palace or in the military camp during this period. He finally managed to spare half a day to come out, and when he came back he wanted to take his wife out for a walk.

Seeing his serious look, Meng Yuxi burst out laughing, "What is there to see outside? All the shops are closed, it's a mess. Can't we ask the artist to draw us showing our independent characteristics in 'Panic City'?"

Then she pulled him back to the room, "Ask someone to get you some water, wash up and take a rest! Starting tomorrow, it will be hard for you to get a good night's sleep, and I don't know how long it will take to find a place to survive..."

Wen Yujin listened to her patiently before saying, "I've pushed our family's position down a bit, so it's a little ahead of the Meng family. If you feel bored on the way, you can ask the Meng family sisters to go up and accompany you, or you can go down and walk with the Meng family!"

"Brother Jin is very thoughtful. I was born in the countryside. If you put me in front with those nobles, I might offend others with my outspokenness and hold you back!"

"Xi'er, just be happy. We don't need to curry favor with anyone, nor do we need to worry about offending anyone!"

Wen Yujin slept for a few hours and was called away again that night.

On the day of departure, I came back, washed up, settled my home, and left in a hurry again.

Seeing that everything was ready at home, Meng Yuxi took the Wen family out of the city early to wait.

"Daddy, are you feeling well?"

When they arrived at the designated location, Meng Yuxi got off the carriage and walked towards the Meng family.

"Father is fine, Xier, don't worry!"

Meng Yiyun looks pretty good. In the past two months, the three of them have been eating fine food and taking nourishing medicine every day. His health has indeed improved a lot and he will not fall behind in the short term.

Moreover, the carriage that the father and son rode in was specially arranged by Meng Yuxi. The carriage was specially made and very comfortable.

Meng Yuxi stretched out her hand to feel his pulse, "It seems that father has indeed taken his medicine on time!"

She took back her hand and handed the box from the maid to him. "It's not convenient to boil the medicine on the road, so I asked someone to make it into nourishing pills. Dad and brother can eat one pill before going to bed every day. Brother, you can eat half a pill at a time. This is enough for two months."

After giving detailed instructions, she went to pay her respects to her grandparents and gave them some first aid pills.

Grandmother Meng sighed as she watched her leave, "After all, we are a burden to our children and grandchildren!"

Three months ago, they acquiesced to their son's self-harm and death, thinking that they would follow suit...

But the granddaughter rescued her son, and the family got back on track, and they were reluctant to leave.

There have been many funerals in the city in the past two months, all of which were committed suicide by elderly people in poor health in various mansions.

The more they see, the more they yearn for the happiness of having children and grandchildren around them.

Grandfather Meng patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't think too much. Take good care of yourself. We will try to follow the children to the New World!"

"Yeah!" Grandmother Meng wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled back at her husband.

Meng Yuxi did not stay at the Meng family for long. She went back to look at the hourglass, took a nap, and waited until the music signaling the imperial carriage to go to war sounded before she packed her clothes and got off the carriage.

After kneeling and paying homage, he stood up and climbed back into the carriage after the imperial carriage passed by, and then waited to set off.

The people in Tianyuan City lived a relatively affluent life, and with plenty of time, most people had made adequate preparations.

In the days before leaving Tianyuan City, nothing happened except that I was bored and a little tired.

It was as peaceful and stable as if the emperor was leading his subjects on a northern tour.

On the fifth day, conflicts began to arise in Heihe.

The convoy had been stopped for nearly half an hour, and the quarrels everywhere were becoming more and more intense.

Meng Yuxi vaguely heard something about crossing the river, land routes, water routes, and food, so he sent someone out to inquire about it.

The person who went out to inquire had not returned yet, and Meng Shibai turned over.

He climbed onto Meng Yuxi's carriage, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it, and then said: "Your Majesty and the royal family will take a section of the waterway, the nobles will also have a large ship, and the rest of the people will have to choose to take the waterway or the land route..."

The water route is naturally much faster, but the administrative historian here had already fled by boat, leaving only a few large ships for the royal family. The other ships, except for the ferry boats, were almost all ships of underworld forces.

Those ships were not very big and could not accommodate their carriages and horses, and they only accepted food and not gold or silver...

The royal family has already boarded the ship. His Majesty sent a message saying that they should go to Mo City ahead to rest for three days.

Meng Yuxi suddenly remembered that Heihe was the first stage in the great escape from famine!

"Brother, go back and tell Grandpa and the others that we should take a ferry to the other side and travel overland. We need to be fast, or we can find a knight's boat. Don't worry too much about gains and losses!"

After saying that, she asked the Wen family to find Wen Yujin, and instructed the housekeeper to find a boat to cross the river.

While everyone was still arguing and hesitating, they had to get to the other side first and then hurry on their way.

Don't be fooled by the scorching sun now, which makes people feel like they are melting. There will be a rainstorm in an hour.

It should be said that it is already raining upstream!

By then, the water level will rise rapidly and become even more urgent. The large ships built by the royal family will be able to remain stable, but other small and medium-sized ships will be in trouble and will almost certainly die!

Those traveling by land were not much better. The road was already difficult to travel when it rained, and on top of that the road ahead was either washed away by mudslides or floods!

It was during this period that the Meng family lost most of their wealth and nearly one-third of their staff.

The royal family members arrived in Mo City safely, having waited two days longer than the agreed time. The number of people who continued to flee the famine was reduced by one third, and most of those who arrived safely were in a miserable state!

In this situation, it was impossible to set off normally, and the large team rested for another three days before successfully setting off.

Meng Shibai thought that his cousin was not only lucky, but also a half-magician. He did not ask any more questions and ran back to convey his cousin's urgent order.

The Meng family also made a decision quickly. They had quite a few carriages and horses, and had no plans to separate the people, so they simply cut in line and left first.

Even if nothing happens on the way, they can go to Mo City to rest first.

Wen Yujin had to take the ship with the royal family. While supplies were still being transported onto the ship, he asked for leave and went back.

Meng Yuxi stuffed a small medicine bottle into his hand and said, "This is for saving your life! I feel like it's going to rain heavily. The waterways are unsafe. Be careful!"

Wen Yujin looked at the sky and frowned, "Don't let this word spread! Stay closer to the Meng family, don't get separated!"
