Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Five days later, the two set off.

Although they had an old horse, their speed was not much faster than before.

Along the way, either Qiao Shinian led the horse and Wen Jiu sat on it, or Wen Jiu led the horse and Qiao Shinian sat on it trembling with fear.

ten days later

Qiao Shinian was trembling as he rode on the horse with Wen Jiu, pulling the reins and walking slowly along the path.

"Sister, actually, I'm not twelve years old. I will only be nine years old after September this year." Wen Jiu straightened his back and said in a low voice.

Qiao Shinian was petrified on the spot. She, she was fooled around by a nine-year-old kid, and was even sold? !

She let a nine-year-old child carry her on his back for four or five months?

For a moment, Qiao Shinian didn't know whether to be angry or guilty, he remained silent.

Wen Jiu was anxious. He turned to look at Qiao Shinian: "Sister, are you angry?"

Qiao Shinian patted Wen Jiu's shoulder unhappily: "Watch the road! Don't turn your head to look at me, what if the horse takes us into the ditch?!"

"Oh." Wen Jiu didn't say anything, but just shrank his shoulders.

"How long will it take us to get back to Beijing?" Qiao Shinian decided to forget about the fact that she was sold by a child who was less than nine years old and abruptly changed the subject.

"At the current speed, it will take two months to get there if it's fast, and three months if it's slow." Wen Jiu said as he reached out to touch the map in his arms.

"Don't move, hold the reins tightly."

Qiao Shinian was really nervous. She had never ridden a horse before, and it was so scary to go straight on the road for the first time!

Wen Jiu was different from her. Wen Jiu said that before he left his mother, he rode a horse with his father. But come to think of it, that was four or five years ago.

Qiao Shinian was even more scared. What if the horse got frightened as a child, a weak modern person who couldn't take care of himself?

Wen Jiu changed the subject, "Sister, you brought 15 taels, plus the 23 taels and 70 copper coins we had before, the total is 38 taels and 70 copper coins. We spent 3 taels on the horse, 2 taels and 30 copper coins on clothes, and 80 copper coins on food, so now we have 32 taels, 9 coins and 60 copper coins."

Qiao Shinian nodded randomly. She was not familiar with ancient money.

If she had to stay for three months each time she traveled through time, she would have to stay for two months and fifteen days before she could go back and reunite with everyone.

The next time she goes back, there will be only four days left before Song Shunian's wedding. Four days in modern times is equivalent to more than a year in ancient times. She has plenty of time to think about how to snatch the bride!

"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Wen Jiu asked when he saw Qiao Shinian didn't speak.

"Robbery." After saying that, Qiao Shinian, who had been distracted, suddenly came back to his senses, coughed to cover up his embarrassment, and changed the subject: "Your mother, no, why does your mother hate your father? In your era, it is not that you follow your husband wherever he goes, but that you accept your fate after becoming a concubine, and believe that your life will be ruined by this man."

When Wen Jiu heard the question, his innocent look gradually changed. He looked at the open road in front of him as if he was looking at someone's sad life.

After a long time, the indifference in her eyes subsided, and her tone was slightly disgusted: "Maybe it's resentment. She had a childhood sweetheart to marry, but because she saved someone, she was forced to be a concubine. Her childhood sweetheart's family was destroyed because of her, and his life and death are unknown. She was trapped in a tile house all her life. She hated it. After her three children died in her womb, she was forced to give birth to the seeds of hatred because of her childhood sweetheart's family's underground stability."

At this point, Wen Jiu sneered, sounding both sad and sarcastic: "So, after she thought it through, she took me away from my father. She hated him so much that she cursed him every night! She also missed her childhood sweetheart and followed his trail all the way to the border. In the end, she died in endless regret and resentment."

Qiao Shinian silently looked at the child, whose height was only up to his chest, and gently hugged him: "Wen Jiu, have you suffered a lot of grievances?"

"It's okay. Mother was just a little strict and had more resentment towards me. But I am alive after all, and I am going to look for my emperor father!" Wen Jiu wanted to shrug his shoulders as if he was relaxed, but in the end he still quietly held the reins while being held by Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian felt even more distressed when she heard this tone. She could imagine how a child born in hatred would be treated by his mother: "It's okay, go back, your emperor father will definitely love you well."

"Wait!" Qiao Shinian suddenly let go of his hand, and all his pity disappeared in an instant. "Emperor Daddy, is that what I understand? Your dad, your dad is the emperor? The emperor who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else?"

Wen Jiu nodded, seeming to be satisfied with Qiao Shinian's reaction.

The morning sun shone across the earth, and Qiao Shinian felt as if he had encountered a strong thigh in this era.

Although she still didn't know why she traveled through time, she felt a sense of familiarity with this era. Since she had no choice but to adapt, the more she rejected it, the more dangerous it would be.

The sun was scorching at noon, and the two finally found a forest to cool off before they got heatstroke.

"My legs hurt." Qiao Shinian lifted up his wide trouser legs to reveal his thighs, which were already rubbed red. Wen Jiu lowered his head, occasionally looking in Qiao Shinian's direction.

Looking at the red roots of his legs, Qiao Shinian sighed helplessly: "Why don't we buy a carriage?"

"Not enough money." Wen Jiu looked up and saw that Qiao Shinian had rolled up her skirt to her waist, her trousers to her knees, her sleeves rolled up high, and the woman's white arms and legs were dangling in front of him. "Sister, this is not your world, so you have to be careful."

As he spoke, he walked forward, lowered his head and rolled up Qiao Shinian's trouser legs.

He had also seen Qiao Shinian in more refreshing styles. The first and second time they met, Qiao Shinian appeared in front of him wearing light pink summer super short pajamas, and she ended up shivering in the snow.

When Qiao Shinian appeared beside him this time, although his pants had become modern and refreshing cropped trousers, his clothes were still short-sleeved.

Qiao Shinian looked around and said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? There's no one here! It's really too hot here, and there's no air conditioning. I don't know how you're going to spend the summer."

"Rich families would use ice cubes, while poor families would just endure it. Men would use well water or go to the river to soak at night, while women could only wipe themselves with cold water in the house." As he spoke, Wen Jiu had already lowered the sleeves of Qiao Shinian's hands, looked up at Qiao Shinian's painful expression, and whispered, "This world is very dangerous."

"Oh~" Qiao Shinian fanned the air with his hands, and his heart softened as he looked at Wen Jiu's malnourished face. Modern college students don't hold grudges against children, and it's enough to just give the naughty kid a beating on the spot.

She pulled Wen Jiu over, asked him to sit next to her, and touched his head: "I'm telling you, don't do anything illegal in the future. Think about it, how pitiful are the people who are sold? The world is so beautiful, and there are many ways to make money. Trafficking women and children is a serious crime."

She decided to teach Wen Jiu well and make him a good young man. At least, when he has power, he will not easily control the life and death of others and will not become a prince who is indifferent to human nature.

"Sister, are your parents good to you?" Wen Jiu leaned his head on Qiao Shinian's shoulder and asked sullenly, "Are they in love?"

"Yes. Of course, they love each other very much. Dad is a photographer, he likes the wild and nature, and Mom is a dancer, she loves dancing. After I went to college, Mom followed Dad to travel around the world, and I receive many photos of Mom every month." Qiao Shinian looked happy.

Her life in college had been going well. The only thing that was not going well was that the brother Shu Nian, whom she had a crush on, was getting married. The bride was a very generous woman and was very kind to her, the girl next door.
