All the female relatives of the Xiang family, including the fourth princess, were sitting in another carriage. The driver was replaced by Fugui Hepingan and Jixiang, who had a carriage without a carriage. A group of boys were sitting on it swaying.

Mr. Xiang and the Sixth Prince crowded into Shopkeeper Zhao's carriage, and Wu Anwei held the carriage and followed Fubao's carriage closely, not daring to be careless at all.

The Sixth Prince took out the map and checked it. He had traveled almost a month since escaping from the famine in Xiangzhang Village and had just left the boundary of Xiangzhang.

According to the current pace, it would take at least a month to walk from their current place to the provincial capital. Although the food was enough for the time being, the water would definitely not be enough.

But the fourth princess came up with a good idea, asking everyone to dig a shallow pit in a sunny place every night, spread an oilcloth, and pile some clean smooth stones on top.

The condensation on the stone will drip on the oilcloth. In the next morning, remove the stone and collect the dew on the oilcloth to drink. Although it is not much, it is enough to quench your thirst.

Most people didn't believe it at first, but the village chief and Han He did as they were told, and even dug more than a dozen shallow pits to cut some oilcloth. If there was really water, then they would make a profit.

Early the next morning, everyone heard the village chief and Han He's shouts of surprise. Sure enough, there was water in the oilcloth. Although there was not much water in each oilcloth, the water in more than a dozen pieces of oilcloth added together actually produced enough water.

There can also be more than half a bowl of water.

At this time, everyone was paying attention to the fourth princess. This little girl looked like she was from a noble family. Although she was not dressed very well, her air of demeanor could not be concealed.

She was also knowledgeable and knew how to collect dewdrops. For a time, the fourth princess was talked about by many villagers. Some people even got close to Grandma Xiang and had the idea of ​​​​marrying the fourth princess.

Mr. Xiang and others couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. What was the identity of the fourth princess? How could villagers like them be able to marry her home at will? It's just that it was not convenient to reveal the identity of the fourth princess now.

"We have just met these siblings, so we don't know."

Grandma Xiang and Mr. Xiang said this to everyone who came to inquire about the fourth princess and the sixth prince. Their tone was cold and polite, leaving the villagers unable to resist at all.

"It seems that the old man of the Xiang family wants to leave that girl to his grandson. You see, Xiangchu is already old enough to get married, so why don't you just marry a wife and go home?" a villager guessed.

"Yes, there are six boys in the Xiang family. Xiang Qian from the wealthy family is the master of the family. His three sons will not worry about marrying wives from good families in the future, but the three from the Ping'an family are a little anxious."

"What's the hurry?"

"They are just the next-door cousins ​​of the Juren master. Naturally, their marriage cannot be compared with that of three children from a wealthy family. Isn't this just more than enough than above?"

"So what you are saying is that this baby girl is going to be given to the three children of the Ping An family. It is suitable, but which baby should be allocated to it? Xiangchu seems to be a few years older, and Xiang Jin is just right. She is thirteen this year.

"

"What are you thinking? How can the eldest son let his younger son get married first before he is married? If he wants to get married, it will be the first time he gets married."

"It's not because you want to marry your daughter to Xiangchu, right? But your daughter looks like a weakling. She can't even find her ass. How can anyone like her?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Then I'll give my daughter more food to help her grow some fat. I'm going to ask Uncle Han Lin now if he can take a liking to my daughter."

A villager ran away in a hurry. Villagers with daughters at home were all thinking about their own calculations. Xiang's family had food, and if their daughter married, they could always get some rice back.

Ping An never thought that someone would bother his three sons. Before fleeing the famine, Ping An and his wife were still looking for a matchmaker in the county town, but now that they were fleeing the famine, they no longer had this idea.

There are fifteen people in the Xiang family, and everything they eat and drink is provided by Fu Bao. Fu Bao is their niece in the next room, so there can really be a few more people to eat for free.

"The first few of my Xiang family have indeed reached the age to marry, but now they are running away from home. They have less and less to eat and drink, so how can they support more people." Ping An refused directly.

"Peace, my daughter has lost a little weight, but she eats less and works more. She can only get by with a bowl of porridge a day. I don't ask for much as a betrothal gift. Just give me a bag of rice and a jar of water.

."

"Haha, you are planning to sell your daughter." Mrs. Ping'an sneered.

"It's not for sale, it's just a gift."

"Then what is your daughter's dowry?" How could Mrs. Ping'an be fooled by them?

"There's no way to get a dowry at this time. If you have a stutter and don't starve to death, that's fine." The villager said angrily.

"So, you are not planning to sell your daughter to have the same virtues as the second son of the Xiang family." Aunt Ping'an snorted coldly.

"You, you mother-in-law, you eat well and drink spicy food, but you don't care about the life and death of the people in the village. You use the food and money of the Xiang family to subsidize your mother's family. The Xiang family is really unlucky to have a daughter-in-law like you for eighteen lifetimes.

"

"I'm taking it from you, you're so lenient, and how do you know that I use money from my husband's family to subsidize my parents' family." Aunt Ping'an knew that her younger siblings once sent money and food to her parents' home, so it must have been her younger siblings who said it.

"Why didn't I know that my wife's good sisters live next door to your in-law's house? They told us all." The man snorted contemptuously.

So that's it. Ping An smiled, patted his wife's arm, indicating that she didn't have to worry, and then said slowly:

"Maybe your wife's good sisters don't know, but I asked my brother and sister-in-law to send money and food to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Do you have any objections?"

"Yes, I asked my son and daughter-in-law to send food, drink and money to their parents' families. They are all relatives. Can't I subsidize my parents-in-law if I have the conditions?" Grandma Xiang stood up and glared at the villager.

.

"This, you..."

The villagers looked at Xiang's family in disbelief, and at the same time they became more determined to send their daughter to Xiang's family. Since it didn't make sense, then they were trying to trick her.

"Aunt Hanlin is still very generous. Being able to become in-laws with your family is a blessing gained in my previous life. I don't know if I have this blessing."

"My family doesn't want to marry anyone at the moment. It's too late to escape, so why are we still thinking about this?" Grandma Xiang refused.

The villagers went back, and when they rested that night, they cooked rice for the first time and even let their daughter eat alone.

The surrounding villagers ranged from surprise to disdain. They had already guessed what this guy was thinking. But are the Xiang family really that stupid to fall for your family?
