MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 23 Reserve (Happy New Year)
Chapter 23 Reserves (Happy New Year)
Chen Xue had no time to pay attention to Zhao Guang, and excitedly collected the fish into the space. These were all meat and fish soup.
Catch more now and store it so you can eat it later.
The servants also had smiles on their faces when they caught the fish. There were too many fish and they couldn’t catch them all. They could only catch them and put them on the ground before running to the river to continue catching.
Chen Xue took the opportunity to collect the fish they caught into the space.
People catch fish from the river, pour them out, and then continue to catch them...
It turns out that there are fewer and fewer fish in the river, which is normal, but why are they catching fewer and fewer fish, which is a problem?
If Chen Xue hadn't explained that the fish ran back into the river, this problem would have troubled these servants for more than ten years.
They only kept a few fish. Chen Xue pretended to release the other fish, but actually kept them in the space, and then came back with the fish.
Have the servants give one fish to the captain of the Yamen, one to Xu Tian, one to the other Yamen, and then one to themselves, and then all the fish are divided.
"And me?"
Zhao Guang was dumbfounded, no, everyone has fish, why don’t I?
“Don’t you like eating fish?” Chen Xue asked suspiciously.
"Who said that?"
“Yourself!”
Zhao Guang then remembered that he had just borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, and then he also gave the fish to the Chen family on the pretext that he didn't like fish.
But the problem is, who knew you were so good? Others catch fish one by one, while you catch fish in groups.
Zhao Guang could only leave depressed because he had blocked the conversation.
“However, here is a small fish. If you don’t mind it...”
Chen Xue pointed to a palm-sized fish strung on a straw rope. This fish jumped up on its own and then hit a rock. It was hopeless.
"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Zhao Guang was immediately happy when he heard this, "I can't eat such a big fish by myself, the small fish is good."
As he spoke, Chen Xue was afraid that Chen Xue would regret it, so he quickly grabbed the small fish and ran away. He kept laughing on the way, which frightened the surrounding prisoners to stay away from him, thinking that he was ill.
Zhao Guang didn't care what others thought. Anyway, he felt that Chen Xue was willing to give him the fish, which meant that he didn't care about what he had done before.
Actually, he was overthinking it. Chen Xue obviously didn't want to give him the fish, but he still wanted it shamelessly.
…
“These two fish, take them and cook them!”
Chen Xue pointed to a fish contributed by Zhang Yiquan and the fish caught by himself. With so many people, two fish are enough.
“Well, it tastes good!”
On the carriage, Chen Xue drank a large bowl of fish soup and rubbed his belly with satisfaction.
“You are not popular in food, and you are not good at sitting down.” Mother Chen glared at her, “Look at you, you don’t look like a young lady anymore.”
Chen Xue curled her lips. She was not a eldest lady to begin with, and she had just traveled through time, so she was exiled before she could even enjoy her life.
So, she really doesn’t know how the eldest lady should eat.
“Forget it, it’s not the same as before, there aren’t so many rules anymore.” Mr. Chen was more tolerant towards his daughter and didn’t care about it.
“You, just spoil her.” Mother Chen turned around and glared at Mr. Chen again, “Although we are in dire straits, we still need to have etiquette.”
Mr. Chen didn't dare to talk back, so he hurriedly immersed himself in eating, which made Mother Chen so angry that she ate several more bowls of rice.
Three people, oh, no, four people killed one fish.
After the meal, Chen Xue took out the dessert, and the family chatted for a while before going to bed.
The carriage can seat four people, but not for sleeping. Chen Xue and the others had to dismantle the table in the middle, remove the seats on both sides, and put quilts on them, so that the three of them could squeeze in.
As for Mr. Chen, he went outside and slept against the carriage.
After all, it is impossible to sleep together with three women, Chen Xue.
“We still have to find a way to get another carriage!”
With one more carriage, he would not have to go out in the wind, and many things could be put on the carriage.
With one more carriage, they can also buy some things and use them openly.
It's just that it's hard to find a carriage.
If you were in the capital, it would be easy to buy, but now on the Exiled Road, you can only buy it in a larger city. In the past, you were very lucky to be able to buy it in a small village.
No words all night.
Early the next morning, the government officials waved their whips to wake everyone up.
There are regulations on how many miles the exile team must walk every day and how many days they must reach the place of exile.
That’s why the government officials kept urging them to hurry up. If they didn’t arrive within the stipulated time, they would be punished.
Bang!
The Chen family's carriage suddenly got stuck in a pit and could no longer walk.
Seeing this, the prisoners behind him hurriedly bypassed the Chen family and hurried away without stepping forward to help. Some even looked like they were watching a good show.
They fell down while walking and did not get up immediately. The yamen servants waved whips to tell them to get up quickly.
The Chen family's carriage is blocked on the road, and they will definitely be beaten and scolded by the government officials. Everyone is originally a prisoner, so why can they sit in the carriage, so the prisoners around them are actually unhappy with the Chen family.
Now it is a rare opportunity to see the Chen family being beaten and scolded by the government officials, how can you not be happy.
Sure enough, when a government official saw the Chen family's carriage stopped and blocked in the middle of the road, he immediately ran over with a whip.
Just when everyone thought that the yamen servant was going to whip the Chen family, they found that the yamen servant just looked at Mr. Chen and asked with concern what happened.
When he heard that the carriage had sunk into the pit, the yamen servant stuck his whip in his waist and helped the Chen family push the carriage.
Seeing this scene, the prisoners' jaws dropped in shock.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Cha!”
Mr. Chen was also a little surprised that the yamen officer would come forward to help. He quickly asked Chen Xue for the money, and then gave it to the yamen servant.
The yamen servant named Zhou Yu did not refuse, and even patted his chest, saying that if you have any questions in the future, you can contact him.
Mr. Chen was very satisfied, but he knew that it was not just the effect of giving them fish yesterday.
Actually, there are two types of people who can come to the exile team to serve as yamen servants.
One has a background.
One kind has no background.
For those with backgrounds like Xu Tian, the superiors can directly arrange for him to come in. After all, the exiled team has a lot of money and wealth, and not ordinary people can come in.
As for Zhou Yu, he has no background.
Those with no background spent almost all their savings to buy this official position, hoping to make a lot of money in the exiled ranks.
The reason why Zhou Yu helped the Chen family was not only because of the fish last night, but also because of Xu Tian's face.
After all, Xu Tian has a background, so people like them who have no background naturally want to have a good relationship with Xu Tian.
And Xu Tian often said in their ears that they should take good care of Mr. Chen and so on. They heard it often and remembered it.
After contact, they were willing to help, and Mr. Chen was also generous. Although he didn’t know where the rumors about him being penniless came from, Zhou Yu felt that it was somewhat untrue.
Mr. Chen, you are obviously very rich, okay? How can you be penniless?
