Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 20 Farewell
"Yes."

Cheng Ying responded and immediately sent two people over.

Their names were Chengke and Chengyang respectively. When they arrived in front of the Lu family, they asked directly: "Are you going to the city? Madam sent us to escort you."

This was an unexpected surprise to the Lu family. The other families also hurriedly squeezed forward, so that everyone could stay closer to safety.

"Thank you madam for your kindness, but we are not going into the city yet. Someone in our family is separated, and we need to wait here to find him. Is it convenient for you two?"

He Jiuniang remembered that Mrs. Sun had always cared about her daughter and her family. If she didn't look for her at this time, she might not have a chance.

The two of them were really hesitant. Chengke couldn't make the decision, so he went to ask Jiang Ruoya. Jiang Ruoya said: "In that case, we will take the first step, and you two will escort their family safely out of Qianzhou City. You won't come to me again." Late."

The Lu family got two free bodyguards, and instantly felt more at ease. Even if they were planning to spend the night outside the city, they were no longer so panicked.

The Lu family occupied a shady place under the tree, and the women and children rested there. The eldest brother Lu and the second eldest son Lu decided to look for their sister's family.

Several other families also left their children to be looked after by the Lu family, and then the adults went to find their families.

Qianzhou City is their last hope. If they can't find it again, there will really be no possibility of meeting them again in this life.

The Lu family was protected by Cheng Ke and Cheng Yang, so it was relatively safe. He Jiuniang took this opportunity to meet Jiang Ruoya.

Speaking of which, after knowing each other for many days, He Jiuniang still hasn't been able to talk to Jiang Ruoya, or even get a chance to get close.

Jiang Ruoya and his party were already preparing to enter the city, and Ling Yue was paying the city fee when He Jiuniang arrived.

Yes, you have to pay money to enter the city, three taels of silver for adults and two taels of silver for children. It is precisely because of this that there are so many people outside the city who are not allowed to enter, and there are even scenes of exchanging children and eating them openly.

"Miss Lingyue, can you let me have a few words with your wife?"

He Jiuniang stepped forward with a smile. Ling Yue didn't know what she could say to her wife. Just when she was about to refuse, Jiang Ruoya took the initiative and said: "Let her come in."

Ling Yue was immediately unhappy. She always felt that this woman had good intentions, but she couldn't find any evidence, so she could only accompany He Jiuniang on the carriage.

As soon as she entered the carriage, He Jiuniang felt the gap between rich and poor.

The interior of the carriage is very spacious, almost like a miniature version of a luxurious room. The scent of green smoke lingers on the incense table. There are several exquisite refreshments on the coffee table. There is even a small bookshelf next to it with a few books scattered here and there.

There is a soft cushion behind the coffee table, and the cushion is covered with a layer of white fur, which looks fluffy and soft.

There are gauze curtains around the cushions, which should be used to prevent mosquitoes at night. Now that the gauze curtains are lifted to both sides and tied up, He Jiuniang can see the whole picture clearly.

Jiang Ruoya was half-lying on the soft cushions, and another maid named Ling Xue knelt beside her and fanned her, like a noble lady.

He Jiuniang's eyes swept over Jiang Ruoya's face. She was a young woman around 30 years old, with very fair skin and beautiful facial features. Even if she didn't put makeup on her face, she still gave people a very stunning look.

"Does it look good?"

Jiang Ruoya's voice with a smile sounded, and He Jiuniang woke up from her country bumpkin consciousness. She was not ashamed to be caught peeping, and nodded generously: "Madam is very good-looking, I seem to have seen her in my dream." Yes. The one that really felt familiar, He Jiuniang thought, maybe the original owner had seen it somewhere before.

"Hehehe, you girl is so nice to talk to. What did you want to say when you came to see me?"

Jiang Ruoya pursed her lips and smiled lightly, looking more gentle.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after eating with the Lu family these days, Jiang Ruoya feels that her health has improved a lot and she has strength. This is a good sign, so she is in a good mood.

"It's nothing special. I just thought of my lady's care along the way and wanted to say thank you to her."

Jiang Ruoya pursed her lips: "It's just a little effort, don't take it to heart."

He Jiuniang continued: "Having said that, without the help of my wife and a few others, our family would not have been able to come to Qianzhou so smoothly. I will keep your kindness in mind and will repay it when I have the opportunity in the future. "

She hugged her fists like a person in the world, and her look was a little cute. Jiang Ruoya was immediately amused by her. She felt a little regretful when she thought that she would not be able to eat their food in the future, so she took the initiative to ask: "Then where do you and your group plan to settle down?" ?”

"If nothing else, it should be Anzhou. I heard that it is recruiting refugees there and there is no drought. We are just farmers. As long as we can go to a place with mountains and water, it will be convenient."

If there are mountains and water, no one will die from hunger.

At least that's what He Jiuniang thought.

Jiang Ruoya nodded, feeling that what she said was reasonable, and asked reluctantly: "Have you ever thought about going to Jingzhou? Jingzhou is more prosperous than Anzhou, and it is not troubled by drought. Maybe there will be better opportunities. "

He Jiuniang shook her head: "Thank you madam for your kindness. I am just a young woman and cannot be the head of the family. However, if I have the chance, I will definitely go to Jingzhou to learn more."

As far as He Jiuniang knows, although Jingzhou and Anzhou are both close to the capital, Jingzhou is indeed more prosperous. Many businessmen like to go to Jingzhou to do business. If He Jiuniang were alone, she would still prefer to go to Jingzhou, but She was not alone now, so she still had to respect Old Man Lu's decision.

The most important thing is that currently only Anzhou is willing to accept refugees, not Jingzhou.

"Forget it, then we will meet again by fate."

Jiang Ruoya sighed with some disappointment, took off a jade token from her waist and handed it to her, saying, "If you go to Jingzhou, you can use this jade token to find me at Anlanfang, the largest teahouse in Jingzhou."

"Thank you ma'am."

He Jiuniang took it over unceremoniously. No matter what era, relationships are easier to develop if they have more paths.

Jiang Ruoya smiled faintly: "You don't have to be so polite. Your family also takes good care of me. Speaking of which, you and my daughter who have been separated for many years are also destined to be together. She also has the character "[-]" in her name...forget it. Okay, if we don’t talk about this, we will take the first step and take care of you and your family.”

The soldiers guarding the city gate outside were already urging them, and He Jiuniang didn't waste any more time. She seized the opportunity and said the last sentence: "Madam, everything has a fate. Please relax and take care of yourself. I think your daughter also hopes that you will be healthy." May you live a long life. Although the cinnabar calming pills I gave you last time are effective, if you use too much cinnabar, it will be poisonous. It is better to use less. Madam, see you later."

She finished speaking in one breath, got off the carriage directly, and left quickly without waiting for Jiang Ruoya to say anything else.

Jiang Ruoya was stunned and smiled bitterly. This child is really smart. If her Jiu'er was still alive, she should be as old as this child.
