Quickly wear a life of peace

There are many elderly, weak, women and children in my family, and there is also a pregnant daughter-in-law who needs constant care.

In addition, the deceased grandfather Song was an old acquaintance of Imperial Physician Zhou. Grandfather Song had been weak since childhood, and later when he met Imperial Physician Zhou, he often asked Imperial Physician Zhou to help him with treatment. The two families still had some relationship.

Only Zhou Imperial Physician's family was exiled, and no other clansmen were implicated.

In this matter, the emperor was indeed a bad person. The concubine was weak to begin with, and she couldn't understand the intrigues in the palace, so it was easy for her to be killed.

Unless the imperial physician provides round-the-clock protection without blind spots, how can she be saved?

Even the emperor, the most powerful person and the number one in palace fighting, couldn't save his beloved concubine. How could he expect an imperial physician to prescribe two prescriptions to be enough?

This is something that everyone knows, so Imperial Physician Zhou's network of relationships has not been affected.

Since ancient times, countless imperial doctors have been exiled, but few of them have lived a bad life.

On the contrary, because they had served as imperial physicians, they were still very popular in the local area.

There were five people in Dr. Zhou's family, including the old couple, their son and daughter-in-law, and his eldest grandson. Zhang cleared out a mule cart for them to use.

The problem of food was solved, the officials were relieved, and they treated the exiles with more leniency.

But problems always come one after another, and new problems arise every day.

Just two days after they left, the officers could no longer bear the loneliness and started to target some of the women in the team.

This is a common occurrence in the exile community.

Being exiled to Lingnan was still better. If they were exiled to the frontier, then the fate of those women was basically certain and there would be no good outcome.

The prisoners who were sent to Lingnan were equivalent to exile, but the living conditions were more difficult.

However, the hardships along the way were enough to wear down the spirits of these once high-ranking ladies and gentlemen.

Even if the men in power in the family are cowardly and only care about their own enjoyment, and do not treat them as human beings, then whether they are willing or not, they will be handed over to the escorting officials.

Among the prisoners this time, the military general Cheng Jia is a ruthless character who even dares to attack royal relatives, and he has a backer. Cheng Yong, the head of the Cheng family, has many good brothers in the army!

The Zhou family are doctors. If you make them angry, they won't be able to bear any food you give them. Besides, the Zhou family is close to the Song family, which has a prince as son-in-law.

The only ones who could be bullied by them were the Gong family and the Xie family.

The Xie family is like a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. It is because they are not united that they are bullied.

But it’s different for the Gong family. The exiled members of the Gong family have no relatives or friends to support them.

Gong Shuhong himself was not a good person. He was not only greedy for money but also lustful. He had more than ten concubines, seven or eight of whom had children.

His brothers, nephews and nephews were no less capable, with many women in their backyards.

So, when the two families were running out of money, they started to come up with evil ideas.

Seeing the officials looking at the women with strange eyes, some men who could not bear the hardship took the initiative to offer their own women in exchange for benefits.

Some women went there voluntarily because the road of exile was too hard and they wanted to find someone to support them.

The first choice was actually several men from the Song family, but after Jia found out, she called the men from the Song family together and gave them a lecture.

“I know men are lustful, but you have to know who you can touch and who you can’t mess with.

Those women in the exile team, no matter what kind of people they are, now they are all troubles behind them.

To get involved with these women is to make enemies with the exiles.

Don’t think that it’s okay just because the men sent the people out themselves.

But the more such people are, the smaller their minds are, and they might stab you in the back at any time.

Those women who come to you on their own initiative, although they are also pitiful, are not suitable to be taken home. They have weak wills and too many thoughts. Taking them home will only bring trouble.

So, I don’t care if you had any thoughts before, but put those thoughts away now.”

Song Changgeng is fine. Even though he is so old, he has come into contact with a lot of messy things, but he is still relatively calm.

Song Ji Yang and the other two blushed and waved their hands, saying they dared not.

Jia was quite satisfied with the performance of the few people and gave them a few more instructions, which were nothing more than asking them to get along well with his wives.

Song Jia would definitely not get involved in these messes in the team.

Those officials will not offend the Song family easily, and the Song family will not seek trouble by meddling in other people's affairs and causing trouble. These officials are also a powerful force, and there is no need to offend these people if it does not benefit them.

The first people to be targeted by the officials were the concubines of the Gong family, especially Gong Shuhong's concubines. After all, they were the only ones without any backing.

Who was it Gong Shuhong who caused them to be exiled? Moreover, Gong Shuhong was beheaded, so there was no one left to protect them.

Some of them volunteered because they had been bullied in the team before and had a hard life.

They have no money and no ability to protect themselves, and are bullied by other members of the Gong family in the team.

The Gong family has not done them any favors and has not treated them well, so they certainly would not choose to be completely loyal to the Gong family.

With these women who were either willing or forced, although the officials were envious of the unmarried girls, they did not dare to go too far.

Especially after Xie Wanying, the third daughter of the Xie family, was targeted by Wang Dahu, her uncle, the second eldest son of the Xie family, wanted to give her to Wang Dahu.

Xie Wanying has received the most authentic education of a lady from a noble family since she was a child. She has her own pride. How could she break her pride and degenerate into becoming someone else's plaything?

But she is still a weak woman after all and is no match for those men.

Her mother was also unable to protect her. Her eldest brother was beheaded along with her father. Her younger brother was still young, and her half-brothers did not stand by her.

It can be said that we are truly surrounded by enemies on all sides and isolated and helpless.

In order to save her daughter, her mother Jiang brought her and her younger brother Xie to the Song family and volunteered to be slaves.

The Song family would be fools to agree to take them in as servants.

The mother and her two sons hit a snag at the Song family and returned home with sad faces.

After that, there was a commotion in the Xie family’s team, and the second son of the Xie family was beaten to death in the melee.

The officers came over after they had been beating them for a long time. Everyone was whipped several times, and only then did the team stop.

The team continued to move forward, and the chaotic situation finally became less chaotic.

A few days later, we encountered heavy rain again. There were strong winds and lightning, and the pouring rain soaked the entire team. Everyone was soaked like a drowned rat.

Fortunately, the Song family's carriage was waterproofed, and in order to prevent such weather, baffles were added around the carriage.

The prisoners in the team didn’t have such a good thing. They had to keep moving forward even in the heavy rain.

The successful people have already bought an umbrella and a rain cloth to carry with them, which can be used to block the rain.

More people could only continue walking in the rain and against the wind. Fortunately, the rain was not falling continuously, but was intermittent, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

In this way, everyone continued walking for more than half an hour before finally reaching the post station.

When they arrived at the post station, the rain had stopped completely. The soaked people all paid money and asked the post station chief to prepare some food and hot water for washing.

These people all had symptoms of a cold, so they asked Imperial Physician Zhou to prescribe medicine for them and asked the postmaster to prepare some medicine for them to boil.

Song Qingning looked at these chaotic scenes and was very curious. Why did the heroine Xie Muyan want to follow along and suffer this?

I wondered in my heart, is there some hidden secret in this? Is it revenge or does she know what will happen in the future and it is safer in this team, so she wants to follow?

But no matter how curious she was, she would not come forward. She did not want to be influenced by the will of heaven and become the heroine's assistant.

Song Qingning no longer paid attention to the heroine, but went to get the medicine prescribed by Imperial Physician Zhou to prevent colds, boiled it and shared it with his family.

"Brother Zhou, I'm here to get the medicine. Have you got it?"

Zhou Huaixi, the grandson of Imperial Physician Zhou, is only ten years old. He is very intelligent and learns things quickly, but unfortunately he is born weak and spends half of the year taking medicine.

It is said that for some unknown reason the baby was not well taken care of in the womb and that he was able to survive because of the superb medical skills of Imperial Physician Zhou.

Song Qingning just smiled when he heard that. His parents were cousins, he had healthy hands and feet and a smart brain, all of which were blessings from God.

"It's ready, Miss Song, take it." Zhou Huaixi picked up a bag of medicinal herbs and handed it to Song Qingning.

The boy had a pale complexion, the kind that was sickly pale, with almost no blood in it. His fingers were slender and powerful, the kind that a hand control freak would absolutely not be able to resist.

Moreover, he did not give people the impression of being weak. There was a scholarly air lingering around him, and his speech and behavior were decent and generous.

Song Qingning took the medicine bag, thanked him, and went back to boil the medicine.

The rain was very unkind to the entire team. Even though they took hot showers and drank medicine, many people still fell ill the next day.

Especially the elderly, the weak, women and children who did not have umbrellas and were caught in the rain, basically all fell ill.

And those who didn't have umbrellas didn't have dry clothes to change into, so they all got soaked, and many people fell ill afterwards.

In order to survive, these people had to spend high prices to buy supplies and get medicine.

Money was spent like water, and some people started to have evil ideas again.

Some people from the Xie family once again set their sights on the girl from the Xie family.

They didn't dare to touch someone like Xie Wanying who had family protection and was strong enough, so they set their sights on girls like Xie Muyan who were unloved and cared for by no one.

It is true that a few girls were molested.

Not only did Xie Muyan escape, she also taught them a lesson, and gained their recognition by protecting Xie Yuwei, who was also a concubine's daughter but had an aunt and a younger brother. After that, they helped each other and formed a team.

Next, careful people will notice that the complexion of the four people is getting better day by day, and they are more energetic.

Song Qingning saw them eating secretly several times, and also saw many people watching them.

Song Qingning watched the show with great interest. Let alone sympathy, no one could tell who were the humans and who were the ghosts among these people.

Recently, Song Qingning had nothing to do, so he started learning medicine from Zhou Yuyi.

I am very busy memorizing medical books and identifying medicinal herbs every day.

Imperial Physician Zhou was also very satisfied with her smart little apprentice who learned everything quickly.

Everyone praised Song Qingning all the time, and Song Qingning accepted the praise without blushing at all.

However, when facing the real genius Zhou Huaixi, he still felt a little guilty.

As the number of patients increased, Imperial Physician Zhou often took Zhou Huaixi with him to see patients, but would never bring Song Qingning with him.

During this period, Zhou Huaixi's medical skills improved rapidly.

Song Qingning didn't have to go with them, he just wanted to get out more often. It was quite boring to stay in the carriage all day.

Seeing that Song Qingning was unhappy, Wang sewed a cloth tiger for her to cheer her up.

Song Qingning was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Aunt, do you still think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Zhao, who was sitting in the same carriage with them, also teased Song Qingning, "In your aunt's heart, you are still three years old, aren't you?"

There was laughter coming from the carriage, and Song Jihong, who was driving outside, couldn't help but laugh too.

Women have been confined within square walls all their lives, so this incident is actually a good thing for them.

But they didn't dare tell anyone about this idea, otherwise everyone would want to beat them to death.

Especially the exiles, they walked step by step, and when they passed by a big city again, a month had passed.

It’s not that there are no big cities along the way, it’s just that they may not pass by them.

By the time they got here, they had already covered a little more than one-third of the distance. It felt as if they had been walking for a century and they felt like they were used to this journey.

When they got here, those who could afford it quickly gave silver to the officials and bought themselves donkey or mule carts.

Those with less money also bought a cart. At least they could lie down on it to rest when they had a break, and they could also carry more luggage without having to spend a lot of money to buy anything they needed on the road.

The officials were willing to turn a blind eye, and many people had died in the past month.

If too many people died, they would have a hard time explaining themselves, so they are willing to let them off the hook and not let these people die of exhaustion.

Song Qingning discovered that Xie Muyan and Xie Yuwei bought two mule carts, and Song Qingning also saw that it was Xie Muyan who paid.

Song Qingning and his brother were accompanying Dr. Zhou's family to buy a mule cart. They met by chance and nodded to each other in a friendly manner.

"This Xie Muyan is not a simple person. She is quite rich, much richer than those born of legitimate parents!" Song Jihong said with emotion.

"Then don't you think she is very capable?" Song Qingning was still very concerned about Xie Muyan, and now she could answer her brother's questions.

"There are many girls in their family who have suffered. She has no parents, but she can not only protect herself, but also live a comfortable life. She is also good friends with Xie Wenjun, the most promising man in the Xie family. Also, everyone else had a hard time along the way, and they all looked pale and thin. Only the four of them still had rosy complexions and looked healthy."
