As the commander-in-chief, Chu Lixuan naturally knew that the weather was abnormal.
However, his little wife has space and can farm, so no natural disaster can harm them.
He would be in a better mood without his mother and little sister howling.
The officers escorted the exiled prisoners, cursing and hurrying in the scorching sun.
After a day of traveling, the group of them finally arrived at the next station in the capital.
The county lieutenant of Shangni County and other officials came out to greet and count the number of prisoners and go through the handover procedures.
No matter how many people they take in, they will let them go. If there are fewer people, the county captain will be responsible.
The officials were arranged by the county captain to go to the county government office to take a bath, drink and eat.
The criminals were all locked in the stable, and Chu Xiong and his son did not receive special treatment.
Uncle Chu and his son had no choice but to spend their own money and bribe officials to arrange accommodation for them.
At the beginning, it was the eldest prince who promised him that he would treat them preferentially along the way.
Chu Xiong was puzzled and resentful, and secretly blamed the eldest prince for not being trustworthy.
However, there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, he had a lot of money, otherwise it would have been a disaster!
Uncle Chu Hua Yinzi took his son and concubine to live in a room prepared by the county government.
The conditions are naturally not good, not to mention having a beautiful woman waiting for him!
Compared to living in a stable, Uncle Chu and the others are still much better.
As usual, Chu Lixuan gave Chu Lixiang and Chu Lizheng one tael of silver each and asked them to go to the county government officials to buy food.
This time, the charges are still much higher than those on the street.
However, the county government officials treated all criminals equally and were more generous than the officials who escorted them.
This made Chu Lixiang very happy. He and Chu Lizheng bought ten meat buns each.
As an exception, I gave them a bucket of water for them to drink, so that they could wash their hands if they could save a little.
There is no need to wash your face, and even less to think about taking a shower!
I was sweating profusely along the way and smelled bad, but there was nothing I could do.
It would be nice to have water to drink!
The people in the second room are responsible for their own food, so these twenty meat buns are enough for each person in their first room.
Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan still don't want meat buns, so the other nine people in the big room can each share two meat buns, and there are still two left.
Two aunts, Chu Lizheng and Chu Jiao, Chu Nuo and Chu Ye, the eldest princess' grandmother and Jin Niang, and Chu Lixiang.
"Xuan'er, you and Yan'er can each eat one!"
After the eldest princess and her grandmother finished dividing the portions, there were two left, and she said to Chu Lixuan.
"Grandma, let's share it with Zheng'er and Xiang'er! As a couple, we can just eat the steamed buns. I'll heat them with my internal power. They taste pretty good."
Chu Lixuan lied for the first time, and he didn't want to draft anything!
Jinniang said, "Mom, we'll have one for each of the two you have."
The eldest princess's grandmother took a deep look at the eldest daughter-in-law and gave one to Jinniang without saying a word.
She gave the other one to Chu Lixiang.
This time there was water and an extra meat bun. The people in the big house once again ate the steamed buns heated by Chu Lixuan's internal power.
They were all very full, but Chu Ye was becoming more and more dissatisfied with her mother!
She felt that the extra meat buns should be given to her.
Chu Ye pouted and said, "Mom, why are you so selfish? Those meat buns should be eaten by my eldest brother and sister-in-law. They are still injured!"
Jin Niang saw Chu Ye blushing and didn't know how to express her guilt.
Chu Lixiang wanted to hand the meat bun to Chu Ye, but after thinking about it, he kept it and hid it without eating it.
