After removing the heavy shackles, Shen Lianxin gave them some disinfectant and trauma medicine, and took out some gauze.

"First, use this disinfectant to disinfect the wound to prevent infection. Then apply medicine powder and bandage it with gauze, just like this." Shen Lianxin explained while demonstrating to July.

July will understand it after reading it once, and takes the medicine to Princess Chaoyang.

Princess Chaoyang felt a little awkward, but July just applied the medicine silently without looking at her, so the two of them didn't feel so awkward anymore.

After the wound was bandaged, Princess Chaoyang said softly, "Thank you."

July was slightly stunned, with a smile on her face. She turned around and applied medicine to the four incense sticks, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Like a magic trick, Shen Lianxin took out a few large white flour buns and some sausage slices from her bag and distributed them to everyone.

"Block it a bit. If someone sees it, it will be difficult to explain." Shen Lianxin whispered to July.

Qiyue understood what he meant and took a few maids to eat secretly behind her back.

Princess Chaoyang did not refuse Shen Lianxin's food this time, mainly because she had finished eating the cakes she exchanged for. If she didn't want any more, she would only be able to eat the cakes given by the officials, which were as hard as rocks.

After spending the past two days together, she also felt that Shen Lianxin was not that annoying after all.

Perhaps, she never really hated her because she had never really gotten along with her.

We were on the road again, without the shackles, and everyone felt much more relaxed.

It was not until dark that the exile team gradually arrived at Jizhou City.

"Li Si and Zhou Wu, you two stay here and watch over me. Wang Er and I will go into the city to purchase some supplies. The rest of you can rest where you are and spend the night here tonight." Zhang San chose a less crowded place to spend the night, which was two miles outside Jizhou City.

Shen Lianxin came over quickly and said, "Brother Zhang San, can we go into the city to buy some supplies? It's freezing cold, and it would be good to have a car."

The corner of Zhang San's mouth twitched. You are in exile, and you still want to buy a carriage. What are you thinking?

"We can buy some supplies, but we definitely can't take a car. After all, we are exiled. It will be difficult to explain if we are too conspicuous when we return."

Gu Dingbei came over and wanted to go into the city together, but Zhang San quickly stopped him, "General, you are too conspicuous, please don't embarrass me."

After thinking about it, Gu Dingbei walked back angrily.

"Ma'am, you can only go with one person, who's going?"

If too many people go, they won’t be able to afford it if one of them runs away.

Shen Lianxin didn't even think about it, "I'll go!"

If Gu Dingbei stays, Shen Lianxin won't be able to run far. Zhang San nodded in agreement.

No one in the Gu family disagreed. Gu Dingbei had the final say, but he listened to Shen Lianxin.

"You guys wait here, I'll go buy as many supplies as possible."

Princess Chaoyang rolled her eyes. Doesn't it cost money to buy supplies? How much money can this poor general's wife have? What can she do with the little money Chu Mingzhu gave?

She knew Chu Mingzhu was not considered wealthy among the noble ladies in Kyoto. How much silver could she prepare for Shen Lianxin?

She took off two gold hairpins and earrings from her head and handed them to Shen Lianxin.

"You can pawn this so you can buy more supplies."

Seeing Zhang San's greedy eyes looking at her, Shen Lianxin grabbed the gold hairpin and earrings and put them in her arms.

Are you kidding? This is exile. You have gold hairpins and earrings, and you stick them on your head. It's only because Gu Dingbei is here to keep you here, otherwise, you would have been snatched away long ago.

Princess Chaoyang is naive and inexperienced. Her status is different now, and wearing such precious jewelry would be a curse rather than a blessing.

Shen Lianxin put the gold hairpin and earrings into the space.

He gave Gu Dingbei a reassuring look and followed Zhang San and Wang Er towards Jizhou City.

When we arrived at the city gate, soldiers asked us to collect a fee: "20 coins per person to enter the city."

The purpose of setting this threshold is, firstly, to increase some revenue in the city, and secondly, to prevent disaster victims and refugees from entering and leaving at will, causing unnecessary trouble to Jizhou City.

Zhang San glanced at Shen Lianxin, who immediately understood and took out 60 coins and handed them to the soldier guarding the gate.

"This is for the three of us."

The officer weighed the copper coin and waved his hand, signaling them to go in.

The three of them entered the city, and Zhang San and Wang Er went straight to the restaurant.

"We've been through so much on this journey, let's have a good meal first."

Shen Lianxin followed him and when they arrived at the store, they ordered meat and drank some wine. Shen Lianxin threw down two taels of silver.

"Brother Zhang, you guys eat while I go buy some things you need."

Zhang San was also happy to see that Shen Lianxin was sensible.

"Go ahead. We brothers are waiting for you here. Don't worry. Madam, go shopping with peace of mind. We will be back in an hour."

"Okay!" Shen Lianxin nodded, turned and left.

As soon as they left the restaurant, Leng Feng appeared beside Shen Lianxin.

"lady!"

"Have you been following us?"

Leng Feng nodded. Since Leng Feng was no longer a slave, he was naturally not on the exile list.

He has been protecting Shen Lianxin and Gu Dingbei in secret.

"Here!" Leng Feng handed Shen Lianxin two hot meat buns.

Shen Lianxin took it and smiled happily.

"It's more comfortable to eat something hot! Thanks." Shen Lianxin didn't care about her image and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Leng Feng was stunned and just smiled foolishly.

"It tastes good. Where did you buy it? I want to stock up on some."

"This way!" Leng Feng led the way, and the two came to the market. Although it was night, it was still lively.

“Dumplings!! Big, delicious meat dumpling!!!”

Even from a distance away, I could hear the shopkeeper's shouting.

When I got closer, I saw five trays of big buns just out of the pot. There were 10 in each tray.

"Boss, what's the filling in this bun?"

"Fresh meat buns. Sir, these big buns are filled with pork. They are so delicious! Would you like to try two?"

Shen Lianxin gestured, "I want all five drawers! Please pack them for me!"

"All, do you want them all?" The shopkeeper couldn't believe it, there were 50 buns in total!

Seeing Shen Lianxin nod, he happily started packing, "Okay, please wait a moment."

A big bun costs three cents each, and 50 buns cost one and a half taels of silver.

After paying, Shen Lianxin asked, "Boss, do you have any more fillings? Steam some more, I want more, come and get it later!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Madam, we also have beef ones, which are also very delicious!! How many more would you like, Madam?"

"Beef is good. I love beef. Steam five more steamers for me. I'll come back in half an hour. If it's not done, I won't want it."

"Okay, okay! I promise to do it well."

Shen Lianxin smiled and paid a deposit of half a tael of silver.

Leng Feng was carrying several bags of big meat buns at the back. The two of them found an alley entrance with few people and entered. While no one was paying attention, Shen Lianxin put the buns into the space.

Leng Feng's eyes widened. He knew that his wife was capable, but seeing this miraculous technique with his own eyes still shocked him.

Shen Lianxin patted his shoulder, he calmed down, and quickly caught up with Shen Lianxin.

Shen Lianxin's space mall has everything except hot food, so Shen Lianxin wants to seize the time to stock up on some hot and easy-to-carry food.
