The carriage soon arrived in the town, and the six of them had breakfast on the roadside first.
Xia Qingfeng first came to Jirentang to say goodbye to shopkeeper Chang, and repeatedly promised to go to Wutinghou Mansion to deliver ginseng and treat the old lady. I was worried about Yongan Village, but before I left, I still asked shopkeeper Chang to take more care of Yongan Village. Shopkeeper Chang also promised that he would take more care of the supply of medicinal materials.
After leaving Jirentang, he went to Bufang to say goodbye to shopkeeper Chen, and then set off by car.
The first stop is to the capital, which takes about five days by carriage. Well, the original owner took Xu Xiaoxiao and fled to Yong'an Village for more than two months. According to Xu Xiaoxiao's speculation, the original owner was a young lady who had never traveled far away. In addition, they were hiding and had not enough to eat, so they probably spent a lot of time walking around in circles.
Along the way, they went smoothly. Several foodies often took turns to go hunting in the mountains. Xia Qingfeng was also willing to cook all kinds of delicious food for these young men. In her eyes, they were just a group of children. Braised rabbit, roasted venison, beggar's chicken, chestnut chicken, it's all about meat. Fortunately, Xia Qingfeng bought herself a lot of cabbage and pork belly stewed cabbage in the town. Well, there was not much left in a big pot.
Once, Xu Xiaoxiao accidentally mentioned that she wanted to eat kebabs. Cang Ji, the most greedy person, approached Xu Xiaoxiao and coaxed her into asking what the kebabs were like a child. Xu Xiaoxiao was "deceived" by Cang Ji with an innocent look on her face.
Then, when passing through the next county town, Cang Dao rented a small courtyard in the inn, and Cang Qian bought cabbage, leeks, garlic, eggplant, and a large strip of pork belly. Cang Jian also brought a fat sheep, Cang Ji According to the sketch drawn by Xu Xiaoxiao, I went to the blacksmith shop to add money and rush to work, and watched the blacksmith build the barbecue grill and barbed wire.
As long as a foodie thinks about it, there is nothing he can't do. This is one of the basic qualities of a foodie. The two best swordsmen, Cang Dao and Cang Qiang, are naturally good at cutting sticks.
In the small courtyard where they rented, the meat skewers were skewered from morning to noon. They still had swords, guns, swords and halberds. They couldn't wait any longer, so they spent a few coins to hire two waiters in the front yard, and they finished it before lunch.
The seasonings are all ready-made. Put the skewers on the grill and grill them until they are golden in color, sizzling with oil, and fragrant. Then sprinkle with seasonings mixed with cumin and chili powder. The taste will make you want to cry. . Not only Xu Xiaoxiao and Xia Yingjun, but also four people with swords, guns, swords and halberds, even the innkeeper in the front yard came over on the pretext of sending charcoal.
Xia Qingfeng didn't want the shopkeeper to watch, so he sent him a handful of meat skewers before sending him away.
The second basic quality of a foodie is to make delicious food, which you can master as soon as you learn it. No, the smartest Cang Ji immediately took over the work from Xia Qingfeng and started baking quickly.
Xia Qingfeng ignored them and started eating with Xu Xiaoxiao and Xia Yingjun with the grilled meat skewers and vegetables. Dao Qian Jian Ji ate while grilling, while Cang Dao lamented that there were too few grills to make, and he had to watch the blacksmith make another one tonight.
The blacksmith who didn't sleep all night last night...
Xia Qingfeng knew that he would not be able to leave today because of the kebab meal, so he also took out the beer and poured it into a jar and gave it to the four of them. "Barbeque skewers and beer, drink and drink all night long", come on, let's start.
One of the great advantages of these four guards is that they eat whatever they are given without asking. Once, in order to get to the next town before dark, there was no time to start a fire and cook at noon. Xia Qingfeng took a lot of self-heating rice, ham sausages, and various pickles from the space. When Xia Qingfeng gave the food to several guards with some anxiety, and made up a very unreliable reason to explain. Several guards were just stunned for a moment, and then they started to eat hungrily, wiped their mouths after eating, and continued on their way.
It was precisely because these four people just ate without asking, that they were lucky enough to eat instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, eight-treasure porridge, fruit smoothies, potato chips, and even drink ice-cold happy water, which made their hearts soar and chilled after one sip... …and, by the way, grilled python meat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was the fourth day after Xia Qingfeng and his party left Yong'an Village. At night, just after Xia Qingfeng took Xu Xiaoxiao to take a bath in the space, the space spirit finally spoke again.
"Feng'er, is everything okay?"
The sudden sound startled Xia Qingfeng. "You are finally able to speak again. Why did you feel so exhausted from writing a letter that you rested for seven or eight days?"
"Yes, I can only rely on my mental strength to write letters, so it consumes too much and I can only sleep for a while."
"If you need to write in the future, just call me. I'll make you tired."
"Does Feng'er feel sorry for me?" Space Spirit said with a smile.
Xia Qingfeng couldn't help but shuddered and said, "Speak carefully...it's just that you are sleeping, which delays things, you know!"
Space Spirit stopped joking and said, "We are going to the capital. What are your plans?"
"What are your plans? Isn't it just to sell a ginseng to Wu Tinghou Mansion and then treat the old lady in the mansion? Oh, I have to stock up on more things in the capital. After all, the next time I go to the capital may not be .”
"Did Feng'er forget about the Xipinghou Mansion? You have not reconciled with that Xu Jingchen now."
Xia Qingfeng sat upright suddenly. She had really forgotten about this. Yes! The original owner escaped with his daughter, and they have not yet reconciled. Xu Xiaoxiao on the side also suddenly realized this and quickly looked at her mother. "Then what should we do? If we go back, we will definitely not survive two episodes, and it is too difficult to divorce in ancient times."
Space Spirit said: "Then it depends on your attitude towards Xu Jingchen. After all, he is the father and husband of your body. If I do something that harms them in order to get you away from him, will you be willing to do it?"
"He's just a scumbag. Why would you be reluctant to part with him? From the memory of the original owner, I feel that there is no good person in this family." Xia Qingfeng snorted lightly. Xu Xiaoxiao didn't feel anything at all and kept nodding beside her.
Indeed, the Xiping Hou Mansion has been in defeat since Xu Jingchen’s grandfather’s generation. Especially Xu Jingchen's father, Xu Shifeng, was the only son in the family. He was pampered by the whole family and grew up. He was a playboy who spent all day eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and had no knowledge or skills. The family property was almost lost. However, Xu Shifeng had many concubines and daughters. Yes, there are many daughters but few sons. Except for Xu Jingchen, the eldest son of the concubine, who was born by the concubine before marrying his wife, and Xu Jingsong, who was born by his legitimate wife, the other sons were either stillborn or died early. Therefore, as soon as a daughter reaches the age of hairpins, she will be married off quickly. Most of her husband's families are wealthy businessmen, so that they can continue to provide for the squandering of the prince's palace.
The title of Marquis of Xiping is hereditary for three generations. Since his descendants have made no further achievements, Xu Jingchen's generation can no longer inherit the title.
Therefore, if they want to continue to enjoy the glory of the Hou Mansion, they must find a way to do something.
"I suspect that the attack on Cang Qiyuan was the work of the second and third princes. Because the two princes had previously tried to win over Cang Qiyuan, but he only supported orthodoxy and ignored them. This should be their murderous intention. The reason is, after all, as long as he is here, the emperor and the prince will never be able to overthrow him. And this Xipinghou Mansion is the third prince’s minion, so when he was attacked this time, the Xipinghou Mansion may also be involved. "
"So, what do you want to do?" Xia Qingfeng really didn't know anything about these ancient conspiracies, especially those who killed people at every turn. This was still difficult for her to accept, living in an era of equality and peace.
"They have done a lot of bad things for the third prince. You can send Cang Dao to investigate and look for evidence. Da Sima has no shortage of manpower. When the time comes, you can present it to the emperor, kill the relatives out of justice, and ask for the emperor's decree to reconcile."
"Will it be self-defeating and involve us two?" Xia Qingfeng felt confused.
"Don't worry, there are many people in the court who are Da Sima's confidants. They will speak for you, and they will never let the Xiping Marquis Mansion go. Confiscation of the house and exile are frivolous."
"You're so cruel, Space Spirit, you seem to have a strong opinion on my scumbag husband!"
"Huh, he's not a good person to begin with."
