Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!

Seeing this, Lu Ce couldn't help but let out a mischievous laugh, "Yeah, that makes sense."

"I feel so too!"

Jiang Qiu tried hard to block out the horrifying images that kept replaying in his mind. He looked up and saw the front. The city wall was very high with soldiers standing guard. The flag of the Dongliang Kingdom was fluttering in the wind, looking majestic. But when he looked down, he saw a few ragged beggars sitting on both sides.

Seeing them coming, the beggars perked up and gathered around with broken bowls in their hands, "Sir, please be kind and give us something to eat."

They were not targeting Jiang Qiu and Lu Ce, but Luo Yunchun and others.

Judging from the appearance of Jiang Qiu and others, they are from the same family.

The same style of dirty, thin and bitter.

Those pairs of gray eyes made them lose all desire to pray.

But Luo Yunchun and the others had no sympathy for them. Without waiting for them to get close, they drew their machetes from their waists, and moved faster and more ferociously than when they were facing bandits: "Get out!!!"

Jiang Qiu pursed his lips.

She really stayed in the prosperous times for too long.

I forgot that the weapons of officers and soldiers could be pointed at civilians at will.

The beggars realized that the officials were not easy to deal with, so they didn't dare to approach them again and shrank back in embarrassment.

Wait for the next sucker to appear, and then use all your energy to beg.

Jiang Qiu turned her head and saw that Lu Ce was surrounded by a stern indifference, like a god without any emotions, but his eyes were suppressing the surging emotions. He and his family were the patron saints of Dongliang. Seeing the scenes now, he would be more sad than her. Alas, the villain has not yet cultivated to the bloodthirsty state in the later stage.

She bumped Lu Ce's arm to bring him back to his senses: "Can we go in?"

Lu Ce's eyes choked, "Let me ask."

He walked towards Luo Yunchun's place. The other exiles were also staring at him closely. They were all at the city gate. If he could get in, he wondered if he could get a discount.

Luo Yunchun was chatting with the local county magistrate. He noticed a tall figure behind him and stopped to greet him: "What's up?"

"May I ask Lord Luo if we can go into the city to buy some things?"

"One ounce of gold per person." Luo Yunchun paused, "Except for Miss Jiang, but she has to tell us the ingredients she will need in the future."

"Okay." Jiang Qiu was very sharp-eared and agreed immediately. He stood on tiptoe and waved to Luo Yunchun with a smile on his face.

The little girl had vomited miserably just now, looking pitiful, but after a while, she became lively and alert again. Luo Yunchun looked at her brilliant smile and the haze in his heart was swept away: "Then you can explain it in detail to Hu Zi."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Qiu was so happy that he almost jumped up and down just to save one or two taels of gold.

Alas.

She's awesome.

Saved a pound of gold with my cooking skills.

"Hu Zi!" Jiang Qiu shouted.

Hu Zi came over quickly: "I am here."

After Lu Ce took a deep look at Luo Yunchun, he stepped aside and waited for Jiang Qiu and Hu Zi to finish their conversation before setting off.

The others were thinking about whether to go into the city. Compared with the expensive price last time, this time it was very cheap. Many of the exiled people were from wealthy families, not like Ni Yihui, whose family was honest and poor. Especially those with mistresses in the family were thrifty and controlled the economic lifeline. They distributed the gold, silver and jewelry well, hid the money secretly and did not show it to others easily. They would not be as high-profile as the grandfather of the Lu family, lest they could not bear the journey for the next six months. Last time, ten taels of gold were considered expensive by many people. No matter what they bought, they could not get their money back. This time was different. One tael of gold could easily get their money back.

So more people paid money than last time.

Ni Yihui looked at everyone paying money to enter the city and felt quite envious, but she really couldn't enter the city and could only watch.

But it didn't rain along the way. Ni Yihui was really worried about the rain, so she stayed beside Jiang Qiu. After she finished talking to Hu Zi, she shamelessly stepped forward and said, "Mother Qiu, can I ask you to bring me some things? I don't have money, but I'm usually good at work, so I can help you when you cook breakfast and dinner."

Help her with work?

That's really good.

Qian is weak, and walking for such a long time every day is already beyond his limit.

Mingyue is her master, and as an apprentice she cannot command her master, so only she and Lu Ce are busy. She sees that Ni Yihui's family is indeed in difficulty, so it is not impossible to do something that benefits both others and herself.

Jiang Qiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you need?"

"Five straw raincoats, two pounds of ginger, and..." Ni Yihui saw Lu Ce standing aside, and was too embarrassed to talk about women's matters. She pulled Jiang Qiu's clothes a little further away before she dared to say, "And some plant ash. My menstrual period is about to begin. Can you help me buy some?"

"Okay!" Jiang Qiu agreed immediately. Since they were all female comrades, it was only natural for them to help. "Then do you have a menstrual belt?"

"some."

"Rain gear, ginger, and ash, right?"

"Ah."

Ni Yihui really didn't dare to ask for too much.

It is not easy to exchange these for your own labor. Don't be greedy and make things difficult for Miss Jiang.

Jiang Qiu: "Okay, I promise you, I'll help you carry these things, and you have to help me do the work for eight days."

"no problem."

"Then I'll go into town."

Jiang Qiu and Lu Ce were the only ones who came into the city this time.

The two men repeatedly warned Qian Mingyue: "Don't leave the officers' sight."

Jiang Qiu was afraid of accidents, so he asked a few officials to help keep an eye on the food, and would send them a portion of the fresh food next time.

"Miss Jiang, don't worry, I'll show you everything."

"Okay, thank you all."

Jiang Qiu clasped his fists.

Very social.

The old man of the Lu family secretly hated!

He had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to capture the three members of the Qian family, but now that it was impossible, he could only enter the city.

This time he doesn't trust his grandson.

Take action in person.

Lu Guangzong was so angry that he yelled at his grandmother after he left. The others looked at him with contempt. The old man of the Lu family gave him whatever he wanted, but he turned out to be an ungrateful person!

After entering the city, Jiang Qiu hesitated whether to buy a cart to load his things, but when he thought about the road conditions, he was really disappointed. Although it was a compacted dirt road, it would be really muddy if it rained. "It would be great if we could have a carriage like Lord Luo."

Lu Ce: “It’s not possible at the moment.”

Jiang Qiu sighed and looked at his legs again: "You can walk without crutches."

"Yeah." Just trying to hold on.

The crutch made the bandits too conspicuous, and although Lu Ce was not afraid of them, he did not want to cause trouble.

All the way into the city, the two men were discussing what to buy and how to make money, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to do some big buying and selling.

Someone was watching them from a distance.

Lu Ce's senses were too sharp and he noticed the different gazes. He subconsciously stood behind Jiang Qiu and when he noticed that the gaze had left, he frowned slightly. Who sent this person?

Seven days later.

Prime Minister's House.

In the room of the eldest lady Jiang Rourou, there was a large chair placed in the center. The cushions were made of soft silk and embroidered with exquisite peony flowers. She was lying on the chaise longue, supporting her head with her hands, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

"Miss, there is a letter."
