Chapter 6 On the Road

The Chen family began to work hard, and the dozen servants left behind began to load the few remaining rice and silk items onto the carriage.

After Chen Rong's money was scattered, the remaining property could only be loaded with ten carriages, three of which were used to hold rice and silk items, one of which was her clothes, and the remaining six were used to hold bamboo slips and book books.

The previous time, Chen Rong only loaded a book of a carriage. These book of books were used to hide gold leaves, and the rest were paid for one stick. After decades after returning to the south, she was known as a "vulgar thing". The scholars blamed her, saying that she would rather fill the carriage with clothes than bring the extremely precious book of books.

In this era when even the air was filled with "Qingyi Fengfeng", the reputation of common things could completely destroy the future of a gentry girl. In the past ten years, even if she tried her best and tried her best, she could not recover the image she had already destroyed.

It's night.

That night, the gate was closed and the Chen Mansion, which was guarding in turn, was quiet from beginning to end, and there were no unexpected guests to visit. I think so, during the day, Chen Rong's behavior of going away from home and land had spread throughout Pingcheng. Which thief who didn't look would take the risk of robbing this kind of fish and shrimp?

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, the prince's mansion sent servants to come and informed the Chen family to go directly to the south gate to meet.

At this moment, the Chen family had already sorted out their luggage. Chen Rong got on the carriage and drove towards the south gate in a mighty manner.

There were carriages everywhere on the streets, crowded with people rushing towards the south gate.

When Chen Rong's carriage was driving in the street, people looked at her from time to time. There was a vague discussion, "She is Chen's Arong."

"What a beautiful woman."

"I heard that she had dispersed all her family fortune to the servants and maids in the mansion yesterday. Look at her carriage, the huge Chen Mansion, there are only a dozen carriages, and the news is indeed true."

"Of course it's true. The fairy-like Wang Qilang went to visit him in person."

"It's a sign of people's hearts in times of crisis. This Chen family Arong heard that she was a bad guy, but it was really difficult for her to do such a righteous act of making money when Hu Qi was about to come."

As Chen Rong smiled slightly as he talked one after another, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

After a while, Chen Rong left the south city gate. As soon as she left the city gate, she saw the Wang family's convoy. At first glance, from the end of her vision to the city gate, there were flags of the royal palace. It was indeed very loud.

As soon as Chen Rong's carriage approached, a young man in his twenties rode his horse and shouted loudly: "But Chen's Arong?"

In one day, the Chen family's Arong resounded throughout Pingcheng. If it were the past, the young man would only call each other with the "Chen family".

Chen Rong lifted the curtain a little more and replied crisply: "Yes. I am Chen Rong."

The young man was wearing a purple cloak and had a handsome face. He smiled and said, "It turns out that he is a beauty. You Chen's family has few people, so come to the middle of the queue. It's safer."

A hint of gratitude appeared on Chen Rongqing's beautiful little face. She saluted the young man in the carriage and said, "Thank you Goro."

Wang Wulang looked at Chen Rong with a bright look and shook his head, "Qilang said that although Chen Arong is a woman, he has a sparse personality. He didn't expect Arong to be so polite in front of me." When he said this, he shook his head repeatedly, as if he was disappointed.

Chen Rong pursed his lips and smiled, thinking to himself: You are not the King of the Wang family. You are not polite enough in front of you, but you will be hated!

Under the guidance of Wang Wulang, the Chen family's carriage drove to the middle of the queue. There were so many carriages in the royal palace that they were so powerful that they could not see the edges. Compared to them, the Chen family was too insignificant to see.

As he walked along the way, Chen Rong heard the people in the royal palace whispering. From his words, he learned that there were countless small families who wanted to walk with the royal palace this time. Many families even offered items that were more precious than the coral that Chen Rong took out, but the royal palace refused.

As soon as the carriage of Chen's mansion joined the team, the convoy drove away. The smoke and dust rolled up as the horse's hooves flew, gradually obscuring everyone's vision.

Chen Rong turned around and looked at the wall of Pingcheng that was getting farther and farther away. In her memory, Hu Qi stepped into the city a month later, and after robbing all the people who had never left in the city, he turned the prosperous little Jiangnan into ashes with a torch.

From then on, Pingcheng, where she lived for fifteen years, became the name in her memory. Only when she dreamed of it at midnight did she walk into the familiar courtyard and see those familiar faces.

As he thought about it, Chen Rong sighed softly.

Suddenly, Wang Wulang's laughter came, "Why is Arong so resting?"

Chen Rong replied in a low voice: "I feel uncomfortable when I think of seeing each other again."

Wang Wulang became silent.

After two hours of the team, Wang Wulang, who had fulfilled his master's etiquette, said goodbye and left, and returned to the forefront of the team.

Next, Chen Rong spent his time closing his eyes and resting. From afar, laughter from the girls in the Wang family who were walking in the forefront kept coming. Those girls were usually in the boudoir, so where did they go far? Although this time it was a escape, in their hearts, freshness was better than everything.

When they arrived at noon, everyone started to have a meal.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Rong looked at the white satin spread on the grass in the royal palace and the long tables of satin that were arranged in long dragons, and shook his head secretly.

On the collapse table, the wine and meat smelled. She noticed that four collapse tables were placed in front of each girl and husband of the royal palace. The collapse was full of food.

She knew that people would throw away the food they couldn't finish.

After thinking about it, Chen Rong said to Shangsou who was driving, "Son, come forward."

"yes."

As soon as Chen Rong's carriage appeared in front of the people in the royal palace where they were dining, dozens of eyes looked at her. From a distance, Wang Wulang stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and shook it at Chen Rong, and smiled and said, "Arong is here? Come on, come on, let's eat together."

Chen Rong shook his head and gave him a blessing to express his gratitude. Then she ordered Shangsou to drive the carriage to the place where Wang Zhuo, the parent of the royal palace.

Chen Rong glanced briefly and quickly withdrew his gaze before he saw Wang Qilang.

She walked out of the carriage, said crisply to Wang Zhuofu who was eating, "I have met the prince."

Wang Zhuo looked at her in surprise, and a kind smile appeared on Yuanyuan's face, "Why did Arong come?"

Chen Rong was blessed again and said, "The little woman has something to say."

"speak."

"In the future, in addition to our gentry, there are also a large number of common people moving south. I think that even if the common people spend all their money, they can bring food for ten or half a month."

When the people in the palace were having a meal, she suddenly came and talked so much. For a moment, the girls and children of the palace frowned: It is said that they don’t eat or sleep. This Chen family Arong came when they were eating. When they came here, she actually talked about the dirty and crude commoners, and they were really unfavorable. I don’t know what Qilang’s vision is, but he actually praised such a woman?

Chen Rong accepted all the dissatisfied eyes of Wang's brother Wang's family. But she just smiled and continued to talk, "There is a saying: Only after having enough food and clothing will you know honor and disgrace. Rong thought that after eating all the food, those common people would probably take risks due to hunger and cold."

Chen Rong's eyes swept to the pile of food that was like a long dragon, "One or two refugee princes are probably not afraid, what if it is hundreds or thousands? I think that at this time, the diet can be simpler."

After saying that, she shouted at Wang Zhuoyingying again, and ordered Shangsou to drive back the carriage.
