Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

As soon as the three-month rental period was up, Luo Xiaoran moved into her new home.

In just a few days, Luo Xiaoran put a lot of things in order, making sure that she and Luo Xingchen could live comfortably.

After nearly half a month, I finally decorated my home to my satisfaction.

Only then was a housewarming party arranged, which was a formal announcement that the Luo siblings had settled in Hexi Village.

The guests invited by Luo Xiaoran were all those people she had dealt with most recently.

Du Kongqing was the first to arrive. In her words, "As Xiaoran's assistant, how could I not help prepare the banquet?"

Luo Xiaoran also invited her mother Du Kang, but she did not come.

According to Du Kongqing, her mother was not feeling well and therefore could not come.

I specially asked Du Kongqing to bring two jars of freshly brewed medicinal wine as a gift.

However, Luo Xiaoran made a reasonable judgment based on Du Kongqing's somewhat unnatural expression:

Du Kang probably didn't want to come here on her own initiative. After all, she was a "widow" and had to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, in the past two years, she and her daughter have suffered cold violence from the villagers, and she was afraid that she would not dare to attend such a crowded occasion for the time being.

Luo Xiaoran took the wine from Du Kongqing and said with a smile:

"Last time Chen'er had a fever, I used all your medicinal wine to wipe his body.

This time, I must try your Du family's unique medicinal wine."

After that, he handed the wine jar to a short, sallow-cheeked but energetic girl next to him:

"Ruyi, please help me put the wine away."

"Okay, miss."

In the kitchen, Aunt Ji was already busy preparing the banquet.

Aunt Ji and Ruyi are mother and daughter, and together with Uncle Xiang they make a family of three.

They were all bought by Luo Xiaoran from the Dongfeng Caravan.

According to Uncle Xiang, their family originally consisted of four people.

They also had a son who fled here because floods in the south had destroyed their crops.

As a result, he encountered robbers on the road and killed his son.

Later, when he was starving to death, he met the Dongfeng caravan. They sold themselves to him for only one steamed bun per person per day.

"Too many people starved to death along the way. Wild dogs ate the dead, and the living people ate the wild dogs.

The girl babies were eaten one after another, and eventually even the boy babies died."

Luo Xiaoran still remembers that when Uncle Xiang said this, a strange light appeared in his numb eyes.

Selling themselves into slavery became their family's last straw.

"That day, my family decided that if we couldn't find anything to eat, we would just jump into a river.

This will save your body from being eaten by wild dogs after death, leaving no intact body.

But God showed his mercy, and a group of people found us. We didn’t care whether we sold ourselves or not, as long as we could survive, that was the best thing. "

Aunt Ji and Ruyi were feeling very sad as they listened to this. Those days seemed like something from the past life and they didn't want to remember them at all.

Uncle Xiang continued: "Then we followed the caravan here, and then we met you, Miss.

Miss, you are the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara who saves people from suffering!

They gave us a place to stay, monthly wages, and food that was thousands of times better than what we had before we fled the famine."

Luo Xiaoran quickly helped up Uncle Xiang, who was so emotional that he wanted to kowtow to him.

There is no need to do this, after all, I have signed a contract to sell myself.

Therefore, their family is different from hired farmers such as Du Kongqing, Sun Qingyuan, and Niu Shubao.

They became Luo Xiaoran's "property".

Although Luo Xiaoran's soul is that of a modern person, she receives education that everyone is equal.

But Daliang was a feudal dynasty after all, and human trafficking was very common.

Only she and Luo Xingchen live in this new house, which is very spacious and very troublesome to take care of on a daily basis.

After much consideration, she decided to buy out Uncle Xiang's family and help manage the house.

Uncle Xiang is responsible for guarding the gate and some external affairs.

Aunt Ji mainly helps in the kitchen, and is also responsible for sweeping and cleaning the house with Ruyi.

Chou Li was also brought over by Du Kongqing on the day Luo Xiaoran moved in.

Du Kongqing did not drive the carriage as usual, but led the carriage step by step.

It can be seen that she is still reluctant to part with Chou Li.

On the other hand, Chou Li didn't have any special emotions. To it, it was just a change of place to eat and sleep.

The second wave came from the village chief and his family.

Those present included the village head and his wife Zhang Changzong, Wang Baobao, their eldest daughter-in-law Zhao Cuilan and their youngest daughter Zhang Xiuqiao.

Also coming with them was their relative, the construction team leader Wang Dandan.

I heard that the village chief has three children, two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Zhang Shougen, is Zhao Cuilan's husband. He works on the farm and takes care of his parents at home.

The second son, Zhang Shoucheng, works as an accountant in the county and seldom comes home often.

The youngest daughter, Zhang Xiuqiao, is not married yet.

As soon as Zhao Cuilan entered the room, she gave Luo Xiaoran great praise:

"Oh my God, Xiaoran, your house is so magnificent!

It’s bigger and more beautiful than some of the houses in the city.”

"That's right, it doesn't matter who built it!" Wang Dandan said proudly.

With Miss Luo's house sample, more and more people will come to him to build their houses in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Dandan quickly changed his words:

“However, the main credit still goes to Miss Luo.

If it weren’t for her design, I would never have been able to build such a beautiful house even if I thought about it to death.”

“Fortunately, you still have some self-awareness and said that this house is good mainly because of the good design drawings.

Otherwise, I really thought you were the one who could build such a beautiful house!"

The village head's wife, Wang Baobao, glanced at her younger brother, then took Luo Xiaoran's hand affectionately:

"Thanks to you for giving him this job, he can have a good year this year."

"That's not the case, Auntie. I should also thank Uncle Wang for helping me build the house in such a short time."

"Don't be so polite, just call me Aunt Wang."

"Okay, Village Chief and Aunt Wang, please come in!" Luo Xiaoran said with a smile.

"And Uncle Wang, Sister Cuilan, and Xiuqiao, you all come in and sit down too."

Zhang Xiuqiao followed Zhao Cuilan in, and when she passed Luo Xiaoran, she couldn't help but lower her head.

This Miss Luo looked so stunning in female attire. When I first met her, she was dressed as a man. I actually...

After several people from the village chief's family came in, the house finally became more lively.

Especially Zhao Cuilan, who had a loud voice and said whatever came to her mind, and the room instantly became lively.

Luo Xiaoran recalled that when she first arrived in Yizhou, she was actually very passive.

At that time, she had just experienced an assassination attempt and Uncle Li entrusted his son to her care. She only knew that Uncle Li's destination was Yizhou, and if he came to find Chen'er, he would definitely come here.

But she was confused about where to settle down.

I ordered "Little Rooster" and the ox cart, and I followed them all the way to Hexi Village, where I still am today.

Although only a few months had passed, it felt like half a lifetime.

She finally had her own home in this strange world.
