Traveling through the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, a story of survival in troubled tim

"It's getting late and it's cold here. You should go to bed first." Wen Shu coaxed Xiao Fuer while eating.

She thought to herself that she had to let the little guy rest quickly, otherwise he would not be able to get out of bed again tomorrow.

"By the way, where did you eat? Are you used to the food?" Wen Shu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Baoju.

The journey had been a life-or-death ordeal for everyone. Despite their different identities, they'd lived and ate together. So Wenshu couldn't help but ask.

"Girl, we have eaten. The kitchen is preparing our meals. You don't have to worry."

Baoju picked up some food for Wenshu and said with a smile

"Are you used to the food here..." This is actually the question Wen Shu wanted to ask.

After all, the eating habits in the south and the north are different, and she was worried that everyone would not be used to the food.

"Compared to our food in the north, it's more about rice, but I got used to it during this trip."

Baoju replied.

Hearing this, Wenshu nodded with relief, then picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

How could she forget that there were no peppers, tomatoes or anything like that at that time.

If we talk about the differences between the north and the south, and the east and the west, it is just that the north eats noodles and millet, and the main meat is beef and mutton.

Although people in the south don't eat much rice, they do eat more vegetables according to local conditions, and their meat mainly consists of chicken, duck and fish.

The other flavors are pretty much the same.

"I know everyone is a little uncomfortable. Although we have lived in Luoyang for so many years, our roots are still here. Some of your parents, relatives and more are also here."

"I woke up"

Wenshu always felt like she had forgotten something important, but she suddenly couldn't recall what it was.

After finishing the last bite of rice in the bowl, he saw the girl Shaoyao, who looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wen Shu saw her like this, and looked around. They were all people from her own yard, no outsiders. She did not hide her feelings. "Girl, if you have something to say, just say it. It's not your nature to hide it in your heart."

"Girl, I..."

When Shaoyao saw the girl asking, she had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say.

But if she didn't say it, she would feel uncomfortable.

"Where were you bullied..."

"Girl, don't let your imagination run wild. Who can bully Shaoyao?"

The one who was speaking was Baoju. She went to prepare the toiletries that Wenshu had just used, and at the same time, she prepared the things the girl would use for practicing calligraphy, and prepared the clothes to wear tomorrow.

Hearing the girl's voice, he made a joke.

Under Wenshu's gaze, Shaoyao simply relaxed her temper and put down her bowl when she saw that Wenshu had just finished eating.

She sat down on the bed below Wen Shu, with a bitter face, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and said, "Girl, the master and mistress can't come back..."

After saying that, she squinted her eyes and peeked at Wenshu's reaction.

——Snap——

There was a loud bang.

The chopsticks on the table rolled off the bowl and ran all the way to the bowls and plates in the middle before they finally stopped.

Shaoyao jumped up after hearing a loud noise.

He glanced at Wenshu and saw that her face was ashen. The joy that had been in the room just now disappeared in an instant.

"Miss, please forgive me. I, I was wrong..."

Shaoyao had never seen Wenshu so angry before. For so many years, not to mention when she was still not well, at that time, the girl just had to coax her well and not let her get hurt.

Even after she recovered, the girl became easygoing and friendly to others, especially those around her.

He never even scolded me for talking big, let alone getting so angry like he is now.

He fluttered and knelt at Wenshu's feet.

Seeing this, Wenshu stood up and immediately helped Shaoyao up. She was not angry with the people around her, but when she heard them talking about her father and mother, she thought about the people behind them and wondered what kind of accidents they had encountered.

I thought to myself and couldn't help it.

"It's not your fault, and it's not my fault"

After saying that, he glanced around the room.

Perhaps they heard the noise just now, and several personal maids poked their heads over to look over here.

Wen Shu waved at them and said, "Come here!"

Looking at Shaoyao, Baoju, and Fangniang standing in front of him.

Thinking that they had just returned, and unlike their home in Luoyang where they had a father and a mother to run the household, even with their uncle who was fair in their duties and their aunt who was infallible in her appearance and took charge of the household affairs, this place was, after all, a place that had been run by others for many years.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are interests, there are selfish desires.

As masters, they are not living comfortably, let alone them, it will only be more difficult.

"You were brought here from Luoyang by your family, and you've seen a lot along the way. The people in this village have lived in seclusion, and they haven't seen the cruelty of the outside world, or the passage of a rebellious army. Although they may not have enough to eat, they've never experienced the heart-wrenching famine that starvation can cause."

"We were able to return here safely now, all thanks to my father's careful arrangements. If it weren't for their planning, we might have been captured by the beggars guarding outside Luoyang City as soon as we left..."

"So, no matter what people outside say, you must know in your hearts that the head of the family is fine, they just have more important things to do."

When Shaoyao heard this, especially when she heard that the heads of the families were still there and everything was peaceful, she felt more confident.

She didn't dare to say anything else. On the way back, she had experienced several attacks by refugees and invasions by bandits, but she managed to escape safely every time.

She has a simple mind. Along the way, she has Dalangjun and Mr. Liu paving the way in front of her, and Uncle Jun escorting her from behind.

Now that I think about it, it wasn’t something the head of the family arranged in advance.

"However, we have just arrived and this foundation is not yet firmly established. We must not advance rashly..."

Then he looked at Fang Niang and said, "Of course, you can't suffer any loss. If you are wronged in the house, tell me."

Seeing Fangniang seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Wen Shu pretended not to see it and continued, "It's my business to beat and scold the people in my yard, but I can't let others bully me."

"Do you remember this?"

Their eyes fell on several people one by one.

"Yes, girl."

"Got it, girl."

"Remember, Fifth Miss," Fang Niang's eyes were red.

After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed firmly, "Your servant, thank you for your protection, Miss."

Seeing Fangniang, Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief. Fangniang was a kind and sweet person. Although she was delicate, she was still a little soft.

That's all——

"Okay, Fangniang, please get up quickly. Xiao Fu'er is my sister. She is young, and since she is close to me, I will take this opportunity to consider her."

After saying that, he pointed at Shaoyao and said, "Help Fangniang up quickly. When Xiaofuer wakes up later and sees this, he might think I bullied Fangniang."

"Okay, everyone, go and have a rest. It should be the same as before.

We don’t cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either.”

After saying that, Wenshu called Baoju and went to the small study room next door to practice calligraphy.
