The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile
Chapter 18 Adding Obstacles
Everyone came to the foot of the mountain. The roads on the mountain were paved with sand and gravel, which was very uncomfortable to walk on.
In summer, the soles and uppers of the shoes they wore were made very thin for breathability. The roads in the capital were all flat, so they didn't feel uncomfortable, but it was a different story in the mountains.
Soon, people began to feel as if the soles of their feet were burning. Some of the soles of their shoes were already worn out. The skin on their feet came into direct contact with the sand and gravel, forming blisters one after another. Every step felt like walking on the edge of a knife.
People complained bitterly, but the soles of the official boots on the officials' feet were very thick, and they had no effect at all when walking on the sand and gravel.
Seeing that the crowd's pace was getting slower and slower, he raised the whip from behind and whipped the last few people.
"Hurry up! What are you dawdling for?"
The few people walking at the back were wearing straw sandals that had long been worn out.
The blisters on the soles of his feet had long been worn out, leaving many bloodstains along the way.
The people in Dingguo Palace were not much better.
"Mother, how are your feet?" Qin supported the old princess and asked softly.
The old princess's face was pale. Although she didn't have blisters, the sand and gravel hurt her feet, and the soles of her feet were now burning with pain.
The old princess shook her head, she could no longer hold on.
More and more prisoners were unable to walk. At this moment, the officer walking in front suddenly stopped and looked at the cliff more than two meters wide in front of him with a frown.
"Boss, why is the wooden bridge on the cliff gone?"
"It is said that there was an earthquake some time ago. I guess it was broken at that time."
"We can get through by going around from behind here, but the road there is rugged and difficult to walk on, and it will take a lot of effort."
The leading officer thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In that case, let's take a detour!" He looked at the time and it was already noon.
"Let's have lunch here before we leave!"
They opened the box of food, and found nothing but brown rice cakes.
Shang Ruoyi took out the cold buns and distributed some to the officials. The few that were left were not enough for the people in Dingguo Palace.
But if the second wife is kicked out, then there will be just one bun for each person.
Shang Ruoyi distributed the buns according to the number of people, and there was not a single one left.
The people from the second house smelled the fragrance of the buns, then looked at the dry biscuits handed out by the official in their hands and found them even harder to swallow.
He Ning'an snorted coldly and said, "I say, eldest wife, where are our buns?"
"Uncle, you are such a forgetful person. Didn't your son say he wouldn't eat charity?" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Then you and your aunt should just be on your own. Besides, we don't have enough to share, so how can we have extra buns for you?"
"Shang Ruoyi, don't go too far." He Jinghe said loudly: "I didn't expect you to hold a grudge like this, you are really petty."
"That's right. I always thought that girls from the prime minister's mansion would be well-mannered." Zhang pouted: "She's not as good as my daughter-in-law who comes from a small family."
Mrs. Qiao paused while eating the cake and looked coldly at her complaining mother-in-law.
Shang Ruoyi sneered and finished the last bite of the bun: "I made it very clear this morning. From today on, even if there is any leftover food I bring back, even if I give it to others, it has nothing to do with you."
"Mom, listen to what Jing Heng's wife said?" He Ning'an said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who speaks to an elder like this?"
The old lady took a bite of the bun and glanced at him: "Elders should act like elders. These things were obviously brought back by Ruoyi, but you guys didn't even say thank you? This is how I teach you normally?"
Shang Ruoyi felt very happy when she heard this.
She knew that the old princess was very clear-headed.
He Ning'an blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.
Shang Ruoyi took out an insole and put it inside her shoes.
I don’t have enough time right now, so I can’t make the shoes, but adding two layers of insoles will make them much more comfortable.
When the He family saw her actions, their faces lit up with joy.
In this way, you can avoid some physical pain.
"Ruoyi, do we have these insoles?" Qin walked forward and asked softly, "Can you give me a few more pairs?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Although it's not as good as shoes, it's still useful as a pad."
Just then, a prisoner walked up to her and asked flatteringly, "Can you sell me a few pairs?"
"What do you buy it with?"
He took out a silver bracelet from his bosom and said, "This is my wife's bracelet. I wonder if I can exchange it for a few pairs?"
Shang Ruoyi shook the bracelet, which was quite heavy. She took out four pairs of insoles from her bag, two for men and two for women. "Want to exchange?"
"Change, change, change!" He quickly took the insole and returned to his seat.
When everyone saw that Shang Ruoyi agreed to exchange items, the prisoners who had money on them couldn't help but become interested.
Zhang saw that the He family members all had insoles in their shoes, except for the second branch. She limped to Shang Ruoyi, stretched out her hands and asked, "Hey, where are the insoles for our second branch?"
"No."
what?
No?
How are they supposed to live without insoles?
The mountain road is steep and there are sharp rocks everywhere. If you are not careful, your feet will be scratched and bleeding.
My feet were sore before I even got down the mountain.
"Shang Ruoyi!"
"Aunt, everyone here knows that they have to give money or something in exchange. Are you blind or deaf?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Or are you used to eating for free and asking for money?"
"Shang Ruoyi, is this how you talk to your elders?"
"Aunt, please don't let those elders or not elders come to pressure me. I'm on the way to exile. Who is not a clay Buddha crossing the river and can't save himself?" Shang Ruoyi just finished speaking, and heard Lin from the third room smiled and said: "Wife Jingheng, I want a few more pairs of insoles. Do you think it's feasible to exchange them with this?" She took out a pair of gold earrings: "I don't have anything good, you take a look!"
Zhang knew that Lin did this on purpose.
She has always been at odds with me, and I always try to make things difficult for her.
"Third aunt, you are too polite. We are all family, why should we exchange them?" After that, he took out a few pairs of insoles from the package and gave them to her: "I have a lot here, if you need them, please come and get them."
"In that case, thank you very much." Lin smiled, looked at Zhang proudly, and turned back to her seat.
Seeing this, Zhang was so angry that she trembled all over.
He Jingheng looked at her package suspiciously.
How can this small package hold so many insoles?
