Shangguan Ruoli took Ling Yue and Wu Lang around the streets for a long time and bought snacks, snacks and vegetables. There was enough space for these things, but they also had to buy some to cover up others' eyes.

The woman kept following them, beating her legs in exhaustion and cursing secretly: She really has muddy legs! She can walk like this!

I followed them to the entrance of the alley from a distance and hid behind the corner. When I saw them entering the small courtyard, I rolled my eyes and dragged my tired body away.

"Sister-in-law, you are back!" Mrs. Shen, Jiang Tong's daughter-in-law who lives in the north house, was washing vegetables by the well. When she saw them coming in in large and small bags, she greeted them with a smile.

The couple looks about 16 or 7 years old. They are very young. They must be newlyweds and are very close. Judging from their clothes, they belong to a well-off family, otherwise they would not rent a room in this small courtyard.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Yes, are you ready to make dinner?"

In fact, most of the words used to say hello are nonsense.

Dongming Ziyu heard the voices and came out to help the three of them get their things. Wulang chattered with him about his experiences, and the family of four entered the house.

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Has the mutual guarantee letter been signed?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "There are two more families. They are not here. We have made an appointment to come tomorrow."

Shangguan Ruoli packed up the things he bought today and said, "How about chicken stewed with mushrooms, charred croquettes, garlic greens, stir-fried twice-cooked pork, bacon rice, and egg and spinach soup tonight?"

Wulang clapped his hands and said, "I want to eat bacon rice, it's delicious!"

Ling Yue was also very happy and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

Wulang also said: "I'll help too, I'll help too! I promise I won't delay daddy's studies!"

Dongming Ziyu rubbed his son's big head and said with a smile: "Keep your voice down so as not to disturb other candidates."

In the two rooms in the east wing where they lived, there were four other families living in the main room and the east wing. In addition to Jiang Tongsheng and his wife, the other three were with their servants and attendants.

The south room is a firewood house, livestock shed, and fodder house. If there are any animals, they are kept there. The money for firewood and fodder is included in the room fee.

Chen Mingdong and Chen Mingnan would come every day to clean up the livestock excrement and empty the buckets. They were short of firewood, charcoal and fodder, so they went to buy more.

Dongming Ziyu's family drove the family's mule cart. Not only did they bring pots and chopsticks, bedding and a basin, but also onions, ginger, garlic, rice, flour, grains and oils, mushrooms, pickles, bacon and sausages. Even Mrs. Qian got up early.

Slaughter a chicken and let them take it with them to eat that night.

Shangguan Ruoli put all these things into the space, replaced them with ingredients from the space, and cooked them with spiritual spring water. After a while, the tempting aroma of the food filled the entire courtyard.

It made the other four families gulp down their saliva, wondering what kind of delicious food they made, so delicious.

After dinner, Shangguan Ruoli divided the snacks he brought from home into four portions, took out four portions of fruit from the space, and asked Ling Yue and Wu Lang to deliver them to several families, which was regarded as a good relationship.

None of the families let their children come back empty-handed. They all gave some gifts in return and invited Dongming Ziyu to discuss knowledge tomorrow.

The next morning, several children went to the well to wash up. They officially met and got to know each other. After chatting, they found that they were not difficult people to get along with.

Wang Tongsheng, who lives next door to Jiang Tongsheng, is the oldest, in his early thirties, followed by Dongming Ziyu, who is twenty-five years old, and Zheng Tongsheng and Feng Tongsheng, who live in the east wing, are both fourteen years old.

When they heard that Dongming Ziyu was the head of the case in Liulin County, they all respected him, took the initiative to make friends, and gave him books and pens. In return, Dongming Ziyu gave him pens, ink, paper and inkstones of similar value.

The next morning, Dongming Ziyu carried the gift, finished the mutual protection matters, and continued to study. He was also willing to communicate with a few scholars. After all, he was self-taught, and he was crossing the river by feeling the stones. He would like to communicate more with local students.

There are benefits.

Holding a basket, Mrs. Shen called Shangguan Ruoli outside the door, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go shopping together?"

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Okay, let's go together."

The weather is still very hot, so I have to buy fresh vegetables and meat every day.

Ling Yue and Wu Lang, who were writing, both put down their pens and looked at Shangguan Ruoli eagerly, wanting to follow him.

Of course Shangguan Ruoli is willing to take them with him. They will gain a lot of experience and can even help carry their things.

The four of them went out and saw two dirty beggars squatting at the entrance of the alley. They didn't pay attention and walked around them.

When they were far away, the two beggars stood up and followed them from a distance.

When he arrived at the market where he was buying vegetables, Shangguan Ruoli saw a seller selling candied haws, and bought one for each of his two children.

"Thank you, mother!" Wulang took the candied haws, licked the candy on it, and narrowed his eyes in pleasure. He tilted his head and took a bite of the hawthorn, but he accidentally saw the two beggars.

"Sister!" He shook Ling Yue's hand, looked up at her, and whispered: "The two beggars at the entrance of the alley seem to be following us."

After Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue heard this, they turned to look at the same time and saw the two beggars turning their heads quickly.

This is obviously a ghost.

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes were slightly cold and he told the two children: "You two hold hands and come in front of mother. You can't leave mother's sight. Do you understand?"

Ling Yue took Wu Lang, walked to Shangguan Ruoli, and asked him: "Why do you feel that those two beggars are following us?"

Wulang said: "They are beggars. They are all grocery buyers here. They don't reach out to ask for food, but they look at us furtively."

Ling Yue shook his hand and said with a smile: "You are so smart."

Mrs. Shen bought a bunch of leeks and came over and said with a smile: "I bought leeks and made dumplings for you to try."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Okay."

She bought two heads of cabbage and a piece of pork, preparing to make pork and cabbage pie. She also bought a piece of fish, a duck, a piece of tofu, courgette, lentils and other vegetables.

As she walked back, she paid special attention to the back and saw that the two beggars had disappeared.

He told the two children: "Without your father and I accompanying you, you two should not go out of the hospital or open the gate. If strangers come into the hospital, don't let them approach you. Go into the house to find your parents."

Do you understand?"

Mrs. Shen also said: "Be careful of those who flirt with you, it's serious."

Ling Yue and Wu Lang nodded together and said obediently: "I understand~"

Mrs. Shen looked at the two beautiful children, and unconsciously put her hand on her belly. It would be great if she could have such cute children.

After returning home, Mr. Shen made leek and egg dumplings and gave a bowl to each family in the yard.

Shangguan Ruoli made pork pie, and the family gave two as gifts. He stewed the duck in Lingquan water all night, and made old duck vermicelli soup in the morning, and the family gave a bowl as a gift.

No matter if it’s enough, let’s have a taste. Neighbors come and go.

Several people found that the food cooked by Shangguan Ruoli was particularly delicious, especially the old duck vermicelli soup. After drinking it, I felt clear-headed and relaxed.

In the morning, Shangguan Ruoli took Ling Yue and Wu Lang to the theater to listen to a play, and saw the two beggars again. The key is that the two beggars had evasive eyes and were sneaky.
