Chapter 384 - 384 Xuanyuan Ce (1)
384 Xuanyuan Ce (1)
After Shen Yijia vomited, she felt her tense nerves relax. Immediately after, hunger overwhelmed her.
The last time she felt so hungry was when she first transmigrated.
Her stomach growled at the right time.
Song Jingchen didn’t laugh at her. Instead, his heart ached. He had seen how uncomfortable Shen Yijia had been for the past half a month.
He said softly, “You must be hungry. Mother and the others are about to come ash.o.r.e. Wait here for a while. I’ll buy you something to eat.”
!!
Perhaps because she had embarra.s.sed herself too much in a day, Shen Yijia no longer felt any shame. She didn’t feel embarra.s.sed to be discovered by Song Jingchen.
She hugged Song Jingchen’s waist a little aggrievedly and rubbed her head against his chest. “I want to eat ten big meat buns.”
“Okay.” Song Jingchen rubbed her head.
The two of them hugged in public. This was supposed to be a very private matter, but the surrounding people felt that the couple was really compatible.
She looked at the people around her and felt a little disgusted.
Both sides despised each other and noticed each other’s gazes.
“You despise me, and I despise you. Forget it, I’ll make do with it.” she thought.
Some of these people were purely watching the show.
The people sent by the various factions to guard this place exchanged glances with their companions and quietly left to report.
“Miss!”
A surprised voice sounded behind her. Shen Yijia turned around and took a while to remember who the three people in front of her were.
The three of them were all dressed as men. When they saw Shen Yijia, the excitement on their faces was obvious. They looked at each other and knelt down.
“It’s us, Pinellia, Ginkgo, and Kaempferia.”
“Greetings, Miss.”
Shen Yijia was stunned for a moment. She recognized them, but she couldn’t remember who they were.
Their kneeling could be considered a reintroduction of their names.
“Get up. Why are you here?” Shen Yijia was still not used to the way they knelt down.
“We heard that His Majesty had summoned Young Master back to the capital and knew that Miss would definitely come,” Pinellia explained. “However, we didn’t know when Miss would arrive, so we’ve been keeping an eye out since half a month ago.”
After not seeing them for four months, the three of them had clearly changed a lot. They looked much more confident.
Shen Yijia nodded and did not say anything else. It was mainly because she was not in the mood to talk.
At this moment, Madam Li’s boat also docked.
“Sister Jia, are you alright?”
They had also seen the scene on the sh.o.r.e just now. Seeing that person put his sword to Shen Yijia’s neck, Madam Li was shocked.
“Mother, it’s fine.” Shen Yijia comforted her and asked Brother Hao and the others if they felt terrible.
The reason why they felt dizzy was most likely because of Shen Yijia. They looked much livelier now.
Song Jingchen returned after buying food and handed a bun to Shen Yijia. “You’ve been hungry for too long. You can’t eat too much all of a sudden. Eat this to fill your stomach first.”
He bought a few and gave the buns to Brother Hao and the others. There were still two left.
Madam Li would never stand by the roadside and eat something. Song Jingchen knew this.
He was about to hand the rest to Rooster when a hand suddenly reached over.
They froze and looked at the owner of the hand.
“Well, I’m hungry too.” Eunuch Deng felt a little aggrieved.
He had spent so much money to rent the boat. Initially, he thought he would be fine even if the food on the boat was bad.
However, the soundproofing on the ship was not good, and he had to endure listening to Shen Yijia vomiting every day. He lost his appet.i.te. The only thing that made him glad was that he had finally arrived in the capital.
Shen Yijia took a bite of the meat bun. “Hubby, how much does this bun cost? Its skin is thin and it has so many fillings. It shouldn’t be cheap, right?”
The hint was too obvious.
Eunuch Deng’s mouth twitched. Without waiting for Song Jingchen to speak, he said, “I’ll pay one tael of silver for two buns, alright?”
With that, he did not care if Shen Yijia agreed or not and reached out to s.n.a.t.c.h the bun.
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “That’s fine.”
“Where’s the silver?” She held out her hand.
Eunuch Deng had never been in such a sorry state. The problem was that he didn’t know where his anger came from. These two people had saved him twice, and they originally bought the buns for themselves.
He snapped, “Add it to the IOU.”
He didn’t even think about who had put him in a sack and carried him onto the boat.
He didn’t even have any money on him right now. He was also wearing clothes that he had borrowed from Rooster.
Back then, he felt humiliated by writing an IOU because it was the first time.
He got used to it.
