Chapter 198 Official Road Blocked

Chu Ye and Chu Jiao were as elated as butterflies after receiving praise from their elder sister-in-law, and went to set the dishes and chopsticks happily.

  Jiang Xinyan walked to the eldest princess, grandmother and Jin Niang, "Grandma, mother, good morning!"

  "Yan'er, Xuan'er, good morning. Grandma likes this cloak very much. Thank you."

  "Grandma, why are you so polite! The weather is cold, you and me Mom, please take care of yourself."

  "Don't worry, Yan'er, Mom will take good care of your grandmother. Come on, let's go have breakfast."

  Chu Nu made breakfast together with several cousins-in-law in the second room.

  Chu Hua and Chu Fang were making clothes early in the morning. Chu Fang was naturally forced to do it by her sister.

  The two sisters made very good women's clothing. They used sky blue fabric and some cotton to make a long cloak for wearing.

  Sleeveless, tied at the neck, draped over the shoulders to protect against wind and cold, the long hood is the cloak worn by rich ladies and ladies.

  The long rabbit fur cloaks worn by the eldest princess, grandmother and Jin Niang are hooded cloaks.

  Because they were sleeveless, they were done very quickly. The sisters each made four pieces in one morning.

  One for Aunt Chu and one for each of the women in their second room.

  Third Yiniang and Fifth Yiniang also made two pieces each. Each of them had one piece of Chunuo and the other.

  Chu Nuo saw that there was one more piece, so he gave it to Luo Yuqi. It was the sister of her savior.

  Luo Yuqi was flattered, and the neglect she received from Zhao Yu was instantly cured.

  "Thank you Sister Chunuo. With this big cloak, I won't be afraid of the cold anymore."

  The eldest princess's grandmother was very happy when she saw that the women in the first and second bedrooms all had big cloaks.

  In October, the days are fine, especially in the north where the nights are already very cold.

  She took one look and realized that Jiang Xinyan didn't have a cloak, and the eldest princess and her grandmother felt unhappy again.

  "Yan'er, why don't you have one yourself?"

  "Grandma, don't worry. My husband said he would hunt fox fur to make a cloak for me."

  Jiang Xinyan remembered that her dowry included a large pure white fox fur cloak.

  But she didn't have time to search for it yet, so she didn't feel guilty at all.

  Chu Lixuan remembered that she liked cloaks made of fox fur, and she said she liked pure black and red.

  Among foxes, only white and red are the purest. Gray and black are almost all mottled. White nine-tailed foxes and fire foxes are more difficult to encounter.

  However, it was not a problem for him. Chu Lixuan stood beside her quietly, watching her lovingly as she talked and laughed.

  There were still bones from last night, so breakfast was soup made with bones.

  Each person had a bamboo tube, and now the prisoners were sharing the food. The officials obediently held up the bamboo tubes and took the soup and ate it silently.

  Chu Lixiang squatted beside Li Jiang Xinyan and the others, "Sister-in-law, when I grow up, I will buy you beautiful clothes to wear."

  "Brother Xiang, I am optimistic about you and waiting for your beautiful clothes."

  "Then grandma Do you have any beautiful clothes to wear?" the eldest princess and her grandmother teased her grandson.

  Jin Niang also teased her little son: "Xiang'er, when you grow up, I will buy it for your sister-in-law. Do you have grandmother and mother?"

  Chu Lixiang touched his nose. Grandma and mother, he really didn't think about it. Got it!

  Do you want to agree? But how much money does that cost? Can I earn that much by myself?

  Chu Lixiang frowned and struggled. He didn't know how funny his little appearance was in everyone's eyes.

  Jiang Xinyan's heart was melted by cuteness! She felt uncomfortable holding back her laughter, as she was afraid that her cute baby would be shocked if she laughed.

  Chu Lixuan looked at his young wife's shoulders trembling. He was not happy anymore and was about to talk about his little brother.

  "They must be both! Grandma and mother both have them, but they are cheaper than my sister-in-law's. I'm afraid I won't earn that much money."

  "Hahaha..."

  "Haha..."

  the eldest princess's grandmother smiled, eyes wide. Her eyes were full of tears, and her face was wrinkled.

  Jin Niang looked at the little son who looked exactly like her husband with a smile on her face.

  Jiang Xinyan threw her head back with laughter, this cute baby is still a fool!

  Why are you so honest? Is this really good? Will your mother and grandmother be jealous?

  Even the second wife's daughters-in-law and Chu Yue burst into tears from laughter.

  Chu Lixuan never knew that his younger brother could be so stupid. He looked quite smart before!

  Being cared for by his little wife, Chu Lixiang's previous sense of maturity was gone!

  This is what the little wife said, innocence and childishness, that's all! As long as everyone is happy.

  Especially, as long as his little wife is happy, it won't be a problem if Chu Lixiang doesn't grow up.

  Breakfast ended with laughter and everyone packed up and went on their way immediately.

  Zhao Yu taught everyone early in the morning how to tie the quilt and carry it on their backs.

  Jiang Xinyan looked at the team in front, and it really looked like a marching team in period TV dramas.

  The team moved forward quickly, and after walking for two hours, they saw the official road at the gate of Jicheng Mansion.

  Refugees fleeing famine were slumped on the official road, their clothes in rags, their eyes dull, and their faces full of despair.

  This official road must be at least fifty miles away from the city gate.

  From here all the way to the gate of Jicheng Prefecture, there are densely packed refugees. You can imagine how many there are.

  The city gate has been closed for more than 40 days, and the refugees have not had a drop of food.

  There were no bodies on the roadside, not even bones. These people must have survived by...

  Jiang Xinyan saw a woman holding a child of several years old in her arms. She was so hungry and skinny that she couldn't tell her exact age.

  The woman held the child tightly and refused to let go, as if someone would snatch her away if she let go.

  Jiang Xinyan took a closer look and saw that the child had already expired, but the woman refused to let go.

  Jiang Xinyan couldn't help but her eyes turned red. The refugees were just mumbling and couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

  They hate the injustice of fate! But there is nothing we can do.

  Chu Lixuan hugged Jiang Xinyan, flew to a high place, and then looked towards the city gate.

  On the city of Jicheng Mansion, soldiers held bows and arrows and looked warily at the ragged and skinny refugees below.

  The people below the city were all expressionless, some looked indifferent, and some looked in a daze.

  There is nothing left in their eyes except the idea of ​​survival.

  If there had been no locust plague, these people would not be so desperate, and this journey would not be so miserable.

  I never saw the smoke curling from cooking kitchens anymore, and the hard-working people carried firewood and drove carts.

  Those particularly vivid and beautiful scenery, like a painting, seem to be gone forever!

  I had only seen that scene a few days before Jiang Xinyan came to this ancient world!

  Unfortunately, she was not in the mood to watch it at that time until she calmed down.

  What he saw was the Shura field in front of him, where refugees were everywhere and there were no corpses.

  "Husband, what should we do? It's obvious that we can't get through this?"

  Jiang Xinyan asked worriedly. They couldn't get through. If they cook something to eat, tens of thousands of people will gather around them. What should they do?
