Unknowingly, Ji Ruoxue had been wandering outside alone for more than half a month.

During this period, she changed a lot.

For example, making the bed, folding the quilt, washing and cooking... Well, okay! In fact, she still hasn't learned these things, but she has still made progress. At least she has realized the value of money and learned how to spend money.

What happens again is the shocking thing of taking out ten taels of silver to buy the other person's one-penny wallet on the street...

However, even so, the money she had hidden in her sleeves began to slowly decrease at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Although the Xiliehou Mansion had business offices in various places, she could go there at any time with her identity.

Withdraw some money, but she has never dared to go to the store to withdraw money because she knew that if she went to withdraw money, she would leave traces.

…

"Ideals are full, reality is cruel." This sentence is the most true portrayal of Ji Ruoxue now.

Although she knew that going to her own store to withdraw money would leave traces, and she was prepared to be careful and save money in the future... But soon she found that she had thought too much, and all the preparations she had just thought of were used.

It's not there, because just after she had breakfast, when she was about to pay, she found nothing. The wallet containing money on her body was missing. She searched all over her body, even on Elk Xiaohua, but nothing happened.

Still haven't found her purse.

Well, you guessed right, just as you thought, her wallet was lost.

Ji Ruoxue stood in front of the breakfast stall with her face flushed with anxiety. She had lost her wallet, and she had not paid for breakfast, and she had no way to pay now... When she was at home, Ji Ruoxue had heard Mr. Shu say this.

The storyteller calls this situation of not paying for a meal, eating a king's meal.

"Do you mean you want to eat the King's meal?" Ji Ruoxue murmured in a low voice.

"No, Mr. Storyteller has said that those who eat Overlord's Meal are generally not good people... I can't do that." Ji Ruoxue quickly rejected her idea of ​​eating Overlord's Meal.

After thinking seriously for a while, Ji Ruoxue didn't know what she thought of? Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said to herself: "Xue'er, you can do it, come on!"

Just when Ji Ruoxue finally plucked up the courage to explain the situation to the store shyly, and said that she could stay to wash the dishes and pay off the debt, fortunately, the kind-hearted store owner saw her embarrassment and generously forgave her. But then, Ji Ruoxue

She faced the biggest problem again, that is, she was really penniless now. Although the breakfast was solved and she would not have to eat the Overlord meal, the next lunch and dinner were not available... which meant that she had to

I have to think of ways to make money. I have to say that the eldest lady who comes from a noble family is actually quite active. Ji Ruoxue soon thought of ways to make money, and her first way was to help the boss of the breakfast stall wash the dishes.

, in exchange for his own meal money. After explaining his idea to the boss with a shy face, the boss also readily agreed. But Ji Ruoxue applauded her idea, full of expectations, hoping to earn her own meal money with her own hands.

At that time, when she followed the breakfast stall owner to the back kitchen, she was dumbfounded. She had never seen such a messy kitchen. Even when she looked at a large basin of greasy dishes and chopsticks, her first reaction was that

I felt a little nauseous, so I ran out, and then I vomited out all the breakfast I had just eaten...

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can completely understand Ji Ruoxue's true reaction. She is the legitimate daughter of the Xiliehou Mansion, and her status is even more noble than those of the princesses who are not taken seriously. Since she was a child, she has been

She has to live a life where she can open her mouth to eat and stretch out her hands... Although she has been in the kitchen and learned to cook, she has never seen such a dirty and messy kitchen environment. But it makes sense, how can the kitchen here be different from the Western kitchen?

Liehou

How does the kitchen in the house compare?

…

"Xue'er, you have to overcome your heart. You have no money anymore. You have to work hard to earn money for yourself..." Ji Ruoxue said to herself to cheer herself up.

After a cup of tea, Ji Ruoxue, who was wrapped up tightly, finally overcame her inner fear and entered the kitchen again. This time, Ji Ruoxue was prepared and did not run out immediately after entering, but then there was a sound coming from the kitchen.

There was the sound of clattering dishes and broken dishes.

…

Ji Ruoxue once read in a book that a penny can defeat a heroic man.

She didn't really believe this sentence before, but after personally trying various ways to make money this day, she finally believed it completely.

So, she comforted herself and said: "A penny can stump even a hero, let alone a weak woman like you..."

After convincing herself, Ji Ruoxue also gave up her method of making money with her hands and decided to withdraw money from her own business.

Soon she took action and withdrew a large sum of money from her own business.

However, although this money provided for her own basic necessities, the disadvantages were also obvious. Just as she thought, her traces were exposed... Although she successfully got rid of two batches of people with her own disguise.

People came to look for her, but in order to avoid meeting those people who came to look for her again, she had to choose to go to the relatively secluded wilderness mountains and forests.

…

…

For people who run away from home for the first time, usually during the first period, they will feel that everything is new, they will be full of curiosity about everything, they will feel that the outside world is wonderful, and they will feel that they are out of the world.

That's right... But after a while, when the freshness has passed, they can't help but think of the good things at home... Once they have thoughts, they will be unable to control them, and the more they

If you don't think about it, you will become more and more tempted to think about it... and eventually form an unbreakable cycle.

This situation is not pretentious, but a true expression of one's own emotions... If it were more literary, then this might be called "nostalgia."

As for "nostalgia", if you think about it too much, it will slowly attach itself to a specific thing, and most of it will attach to the food you once liked most, and then you will miss that kind of thing extremely.

The taste of food makes me think it is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten, and I will never forget it.

Ji Ruoxue was like this at this time. All her "nostalgia" fell on the bowl of chicken soup in the Hou Mansion.

…

There were scattered snowflakes in the sky. Ji Ruoxue rode on the back of the elk Xiaohua and walked slowly in the forest. The elk looked back at its owner from time to time, as if she wanted her owner to carry it and run...

But now Ji Ruoxue does not have the same interest as before in walking in the wind and snow, nor is she happy, but rather listless.

Looking at the elk's eager eyes, Ji Ruoxue caressed its neck, lay in its ear and whispered softly: "Xiaohua, I miss home, my father, my mother, and my elder brother. I miss you so much now."

Drink a bowl of chicken soup made by my mother..."

The elk seemed to understand Ji Ruoxue's words and sensed that its owner was in a bad mood, so it snorted in response and continued to walk slowly with its head lowered.

"Xiaohua, why do you think you can't taste the chicken soup at home when you drink it outside?" Ji Ruoxue continued to ask.

The elk turned its head and glanced at its owner, thinking: How do I know this? But the fodder outside is really not as delicious as the fodder at home.

"I know, it must be done differently. I remember when my mother made chicken soup, she would put the chicken in an urn and stew it slowly over charcoal fire...My mother would also put some soaked tea tree in the chicken soup.

Mushrooms...yes, yes, what they did must be wrong? But...the chicken soup I drank yesterday also had tea tree mushrooms in it? The taste was still wrong?" Ji Ruoxue murmured to herself.

"What should I do? Xiaohua, I really want to drink the chicken soup made by my mother! I used to be full after drinking a small bowl, but now I feel like I can drink a big pot in one breath... But I can't now

When I go back, it’s all the fault of that big bad guy Mu Qiuhuang. It’s all his fault. If it weren’t for him, I would be able to go back and drink the chicken soup cooked by my mother now... That big bad guy Mu Qiuhuang, how could he go to a brothel? He is really

…”

When she thinks of Mu Qiuhuang, Ji Ruoxue can't help but gnash her teeth at him, then blame Mu Qiuhuang for all the sins she has suffered, and then angrily scold Mu Qiuhuang... I have to say, Mu Qiuhuang

The role of phoenix is ​​still very great. At least when Ji Ruoxue scolded Mu Qiuhuang, the desire for chicken soup in her heart became lighter.

And the three words that appeared most frequently in Elk Xiaohua's mind during this period were also "Mu Qiuhuang".

…

After silently sulking at Mu Qiuhuang for a while, Ji Ruoxue's thoughts turned to the chicken soup again, recalling the taste of the chicken soup.

"It would be great if I could have a bowl of chicken soup right now..." Ji Ruoxue thought this way. Gradually, her eyelids seemed to feel a little heavy, and then she slowly fell asleep on the back of the elk.

…

"Xue'er, you are finally back?" Her mother looked at her with concern and said, "Xue'er, why have you lost weight? Did you not eat or drink well outside?"

"Crazy girl, you are so brave. You dare to leave your brother and me and sneak out alone. Are you looking for a fight?" The elder brother scolded himself, but his face was full of joy when he saw that he had returned home.

I pinched the corner of my clothes and carefully peeked at my father. I was already expecting my father to be furious at me for sneaking out, but I never expected that my father would say calmly: "Just come back!"

Daddy's eyes were a little red, and he continued: "Daddy is wrong. If you don't want to marry that boy Mu, don't marry him. I will send someone to Beiyu to cancel the engagement tomorrow..."

"Yes, daddy is right, little sister, you are never allowed to sneak out again..." the eldest brother scolded.

…

"Mom, I want to drink your lazy chicken soup..."

"I know you like to drink this. Mother has already prepared it for you..."

Looking at the golden chicken soup in the bowl on the table, smelling the alluring aroma, and looking at her family, Ji Ruoxue picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, put it into her mouth and swallowed it, and finally couldn't help crying.

…

…

Elk Xiaohua heard her master crying on her back, turned around and licked her cheek with concern.

After being licked awake by the elk, Ji Ruoxue rubbed her eyes. When she saw that she was still alone outside, she remembered that she had fallen asleep just now, and that all that was just a dream.

"How wonderful would it be if everything in the dream were real?"
