Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Jiang Nianwei took the tiger-head hat and shoes. The embroidery was exquisite and it was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into them.

Even if it is sold at the market, it is a rare fine product.

"How could I dislike it? Thank you for your kindness. This tiger head looks so lifelike. I will put it on my child later."

Yunniang lowered her head slightly, a blush on her face, "You are too polite, I just embroidered this for fun, I learned some embroidery to kill time when I was bored, so I tried to embroider this tiger head, it's great that you like it."

Jiang Nianwei suggested: "If you like embroidery, you can try to embroider more. When we enter the town, maybe we can sell them and exchange them for some silver."

After hearing this, Yunniang's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked in disbelief, "Can these embroidered things I made really be sold for money?"

"I think so. If you are worried about not being able to find a buyer, I can help you sell it for you."

Yunniang never thought that her embroidery could be exchanged for silver.

Looking back on the past, she was sold to a brothel when she was young. Although she later became Jiang Shen's concubine, she also served him with her beauty and had never been paid for her skills.

Yunniang smiled happily, "Then I will embroider some other patterns."

The next day, they continued their journey.

Last night, Jiang Lanxu hardly slept a wink, and stayed by Qiu Meixue's side the whole time, fearing that she might get into trouble.

Fortunately, after a night's rest, her originally pale face regained some color. As soon as she opened her eyes, she wanted to see the child. After seeing the thin child, Qiu Meixue couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Husband, this is our child, can you give him a name?"

Jiang Lanxu just now cast his gaze towards the young life, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, "The dawn is gradually coming, representing hope, why not call it Jiang Chen."

"Chen'er, my dear Chen'er." Qiu Meixue whispered softly, holding the delicate little baby tightly in her arms, feeling guilty.

Unfortunately, she found that she had not secreted any milk, and she couldn't help feeling anxious. What if the child was hungry?

Jiang Nianwei walked in quietly, holding a bowl of warm mare's milk in her hand.

She walked to Qiu Meixue and comforted her softly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. You may have been frightened and your milk hasn't come in yet. Give this mare's milk to Chen'er for now. When you recover, your milk will come naturally."

After hearing this, Qiu Meixue's anxiety was slightly relieved.

Jiang Nianwei brought another bowl of nourishing soup, "Sister-in-law, drink this bowl of nourishing soup first and take good care of yourself. Chen'er is under our care, so don't worry."

It was really hard for my sister-in-law to stay in a carriage after giving birth, but unfortunately she had no choice in the current environment.

The time had been calculated so that the birth could take place upon arrival in Yazhou, but now everything has been brought forward.

Jiang Nianwei gazed at this little life that had not left any trace in her memory of her previous life, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in her heart. The arrival of this little life might mean a rewriting of their destiny.

The carriage bumped along the rugged mountain road, and after several days, they finally left Longzhou.

As they gradually went deeper into the Nanling Mountains, the climate became warmer, forming a sharp contrast with the icy cold in Longzhou.

Passing by a village, the officers stopped to rest.

Beside the village, a small river flows quietly, and the water is clear.

The sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows on the river surface. The fish in the river swim freely in the water, occasionally jumping out of the water, stirring up ripples.

The officers wanted to catch some fish and roast them, but they found them extremely difficult to catch. After several attempts, they had no choice but to give up.

Jiang Lanxu volunteered, "Can I try?"

The officers had seen his abilities, so they let him go fishing in the river.

Jiang Lanxu came to the river and looked carefully at the fish swimming in the river.

He chose a branch of moderate thickness and used a knife to cut off the excess branches and leaves, making it sharp and smooth.

Then he waded into the river and began to carefully observe the movements of the fish in the water. He sometimes bent over and sometimes held his breath, as if looking for the best time to fish.

Finally, he spotted a fat fish and stabbed the fish with the branch in his hand.

He caught a fat bass. In this way, he caught five or six fat fish. The officers couldn't help but applaud.

He gave half to the officers and kept the other half for himself, thus getting the best of both worlds.

She was thinking about stewing the fish into soup to nourish Mei Xue's body and help her produce milk.

When he thought of this, the clouds of sadness that had originally shrouded his heart actually dissipated for the most part.

When Aunt Liu saw Jiang Lanxu coming back with the perch, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Young Master is really good. This perch is so plump and delicious. This old servant has never seen it before."

Jiang Siyu had already started thinking about how to cook these fish. She pondered for a moment and said, "The perch has tender meat and is best steamed. The crucian carp can be used to make soup for my sister-in-law. And those small fish will definitely be a good dish to go with rice if they are braised."

"You, you get excited when it comes to eating!"

Aunt Liu was going to make some crucian carp soup for Qiu Meixue first. She scraped off the fish scales neatly and washed it.

Then, she put the processed crucian carp into the hot oil pan and fry it gently until both sides showed an attractive golden color.

Afterwards, Nanny Liu poured in clean water and began to stew the fish soup. She carefully controlled the heat, allowing the fish soup to slowly boil in the pot, gradually emitting a rich and fresh aroma. Soon, the fish soup took on an attractive milky white color.

Following Jiang Nianwei's instructions, she added some tongcao into the stew. When the soup was almost done, she added some fresh and tender pakchoy. Then she asked Jiang Lanxu to serve it to her.

Qiu Meixue originally had no appetite, but when she heard that the fish was caught by her husband himself, she gently scooped up a spoonful of soup and carefully put it into her mouth. At that moment, the delicious taste instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue.

She couldn't help but praise: "Madame Liu's cooking skills are getting better and better."

She drank two bowls of soup and ate a bowl of rice before she stopped.

The next fish was cooked according to what Jiang Siyu said, but the conditions in the wild were limited, so they had to be more casual.

Jiang Nianwei gently picked up a piece of sea bass meat and put it into her mouth to taste.

The fish was simply flavored with some salt, ginger and wild onions, but surprisingly, the fish meat had no fishy smell at all. Instead, it was tender and juicy with an excellent taste.

Jiang Nianwei sincerely praised: "If Madam Liu opened a restaurant with this skill, it would definitely be very popular."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu shook her head a little embarrassedly and said, "Miss, you are too kind. With my limited skills, I dare not open a restaurant. The fish brought back by the young master is fresh. I only cook some simple meals. It's good enough to fill my stomach."

Talking about this, Jing Qiudie couldn't help but think, "Speaking of which, Aunt Liu's ancestors were imperial chefs. Now you have to suffer with us, it's really unfair to you."

Madam Liu smiled calmly and said softly, "Madam, you lent me a helping hand when I was down and out, and gave me shelter and help. I will always remember this kindness. Compared with Madam's kindness back then, how can these so-called sufferings now be called grievances?"

Jiang Nianwei became interested, "Madam Liu's ancestors were imperial chefs. How come I have never heard of it?"

Madam Liu sighed softly, with an indescribable sense of loss in her tone, "That was a long time ago. Now, I am the only lonely old slave left in the family. I had a son, but fate played a trick on me. He was kidnapped and I never heard from him again. Over the years, I have searched everywhere for him, but have never been able to find any trace of him. I only remember that he had a black birthmark behind his ear."

At this point, Aunt Liu's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Jiang Nianwei handed her the handkerchief and said, "Don't be sad, Mammy. You and mother are like sisters. From now on, you should treat us as your own children. Let's look for your son together. There will always be clues."

"Thank you, miss."

After eating and drinking, Jiang Nianwei carefully selected some horse grass for Meitan and Baixue, and took out a few red apples, and said softly: "You have worked hard on this journey, enjoy these and replenish your bodies!"

Abei stood quietly by and wiped the coal's body.

These days, he still did as Jiang Nianwei said and collected the mare's urine every day.

When he was traveling during the day, he would read books when he had time, and at night he would practice martial arts with Jiang Lanxu. However, in the past few days, Jiang Lanxu was accompanying his wife and children, so he could only practice martial arts alone, or find something else to do.

"Abei, do you feel it's hard to be exiled with us?" Jiang Nianwei's voice broke the silence.

Abei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Nianwei to suddenly ask such a question.

He shook his head gently, his voice firm, "No, I don't feel it's hard. Life is much better now than in the past. Back then, I couldn't even have a full meal, and I had to endure bullying and insults from others all day long. Now, I can be with you, young lady, have food to eat, books to read, and I can practice martial arts to strengthen my body. I am already very satisfied."

Seeing Jiang Nianwei every day made him feel satisfied even if he just had to wait by her side silently, and he had no other requests.

Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly. She looked at him, her eyes full of sincerity and honesty, completely different from the sinister and vicious image in her previous life, as if she had become a different person.

"Don't worry. Following me, although I can't guarantee that you will be successful, at least you will have enough food and clothing. If you are interested in pursuing a career in politics in the future, my father will definitely lend you a helping hand."

Upon hearing this, Ah Bei's face showed some hesitation again.

He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Actually, I escaped."

Jiang Nianwei looked at him in confusion, "Didn't your parents sell you out because of poverty?"

Very little was mentioned about Meng Huaibei's background, and she was not very clear about it, so she could only wait for him to explain it himself.

After spending some time together, Meng Huaibei had gradually let down his guard. He spoke softly, his voice heavy, "Have you heard of General Meng? I... am a slave who escaped from his mansion."

Jiang Nianwei sighed, "Is your indenture still in the Taiwei Mansion? It is really difficult for you to pursue a career in the government if things are like this."

"Miss, don't you think I'm a burden? General Meng is in a high position and has great power. If you offend him... you will definitely be implicated."

Jiang Nianwei showed a fearless look, "The mountains here are high and the roads are long. Meng Yuanwei's arms are not long enough to reach here. If you can't pursue a career in politics, you can stay with us with peace of mind. You will have your own way to go in the future."

But she already had other suspicions in her mind. Abei never told her his last name, but she knew that his last name was Meng. He was definitely not just a servant, right?

I only heard that Meng Yuanwei had two sons, both of whom were around 20 years old, but I never heard of a younger son who was 15 or 16 years old. Could he be an illegitimate child? If I want to know the truth, I can only explore it slowly in the future.

In his previous life, Meng Huaibei had always been an enemy of the Meng family. There must be some grudges between them, and the enemy of my enemy is naturally also a friend.

Ah Bei knelt on the ground, bowed his head and bowed deeply to her, with an unprecedented piety in his voice: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss!"

In the past, he sought help from Jiang Nianwei because he was forced to do so by the situation and was imprisoned.

But at this moment, his state of mind has undergone a drastic change.

At this moment, he sincerely wanted to stay by her side, to guard her, to protect her, and to keep her away from all troubles and harm.

This determination is as firm as a rock. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will move forward without hesitation.

Jiang Nianwei gently helped him stand up, with a hint of concern in her eyes, "Your injuries should have improved a lot in recent days, right?"

He bowed his head slightly, with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you for your concern, Miss. My injuries have fully recovered."

Jiang Nianwei nodded slightly after hearing this, and took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to him, "In this case, then you should take this pill."

This pill is a tonic that Jiang Nianwei recently carefully developed based on ancient medical books.

Abei took the pill without any hesitation, put it into his mouth, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Seeing Ah Bei's straightforward behavior, Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "Aren't you afraid that this pill is poisonous?"

After hearing this, Ah Bei slowly raised his head, his bright eyes staring directly at Jiang Nianwei, "I believe Miss, you won't hurt me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nianwei heard some noise.

Not far away, Jiang Shen's angry roar was heard. Jiang Nianwei hid in the night and heard the conversation between the two.

"I just asked you to please others, but you are so unhappy about it."

Yunniang's voice trembled in the breeze, with a bit of resentment and determination, "Master, although I am your concubine, I am also a person, not an item that can be traded at will."

Jiang Shen sneered, his tone full of sarcasm, "What's the difference between a concubine and an item? Don't forget who redeemed you from that filthy place."

"If you want to have a full meal, do as I say!"

Ever since he set out from Mingzhou, he had noticed a certain officer giving Yunniang a strange look.

He then realized that the officer also had some interest in Yunniang.

Instead of spending a lot of money to please and bribe, it would be better to let Yunniang take the initiative to approach the officers and use her beauty and tenderness to win their favor.

Yunniang looked embarrassed. She looked down at the bruise on her arm that had not yet faded. She said in a trembling voice, "But if other people knew... I would no longer be able to face them."

Jiang Shen smiled lightly, with a trace of disdain and indifference in his eyes: "Do you still have a reputation? I just asked you to seduce the police, you can't even do such a small thing! What's the difference between you and that vicious woman?"

Jiang Shen is addicted to beauty but does not respect women. In his opinion, women can be traded for profit.

"Are you planning to wait until I die so that you can take over my property? I'm telling you, that's impossible! Ahem."

The slap was about to fall, Yunniang closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not come.
