Regardless of what the county magistrate and Jiang Hexuan thought, Shangguan Ruolan's purpose in meeting these two female relatives was to show them that she valued Shangguan Ruoli's sister and her in-laws even more.

Of course, the words are not clearly stated. The upper-class people speak in a roundabout way. The words they say are nice and beautiful, but the meaning must be made clear.

Shangguan Ruoli observed secretly that the county magistrate's wife understood, and Jiang Hexuan's daughter-in-law smiled and seemed to understand. As for the sisters-in-law who accompanied the conversation, only the second sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu, understood.

Seeing that Mr. Xie was a little tired, the county magistrate's wife wisely said goodbye.

Jiang Hexuan's daughter-in-law asked: "Shall Madam Shizi and Xie Yiren stay here for a few days? My house has many yards and a few yards have been cleared for the two of you to rest."

Mrs. Qian said hurriedly: "No, no, we have already arranged a place to stay."

Ms. Xie said, "Thank you very much. Since the in-laws have already made arrangements, I won't bother you."

Mrs. Qian said: "That's right, I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Hexuan was not a good person. Although he did not bully them openly, he at least ignored or condoned them.

The Dongzhou family had all slept in the wilds when they fled, but how many yards could they still spare?

Every family has a big Kang, and the unmarried boys and girls in the family go to Aunt He's house. The three daughters-in-law and Wu Wenhui sleep in the same room, and the four sons sleep in the same room, leaving the main room of the two families free.

.There are two bedrooms and three rooms in the main room, which is enough for Shangguan Ruolan, Mrs. Xie, her maid, and her mother-in-law.

Xiaoyun's family moved to Dayun's house, and the guards and servants who came with them all lived in Xiaoyun's house.

With such an arrangement, you can see that there is a blood relationship, and if something happens, your relatives can still be used, so you don't have to be polite.

Of course, other people in the Dongzhou family did not sit idly by. There were so many people, including carriages, horses, cooks, wood cutters, and horse feeders. They actively divided the labor and cooperated, and took good care of them.

Shangguan Ruolan observed secretly and felt that this group of people were very united, well-trained, organized and had rules, unlike ordinary villages.

Ms. Xie took a break in the afternoon and ate vegetarian food in the evening. Shangguan Ruoli made her yam and wolfberry porridge alone, stir-fried minced garlic greens, salad shepherd's purse, steamed glutinous rice and honey lotus root, sea cucumber tofu, custard buns, and shepherd's purse dumplings.

.

Xie laughed and said, "How can I eat so much by myself?"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Let my mother-in-law eat with you, and you can talk too."

Mrs. Qian smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, "Wulang's mother is very good at cooking. Most of the wives in the village learned their cooking skills from her."

My daughter-in-law opened a small stove, and she didn't just let her official mother eat it, but invited her to join her. This is to give her dignity.

Xie said seriously: "I have to thank my mother-in-law for taking Li'er in and treating her so well."

Mrs. Qian waved her hand and said boldly: "Hey! Aren't you being heretical by saying this? She is my fourth daughter-in-law, and I should treat her well. Besides, Wu Lang's mother is sensible, filial, capable, and good-tempered, but

It’s so painful! I treat our daughter-in-law as my daughter.”

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Just, listen.

Not to mention the original owner, after she came through, the old lady divided the food and gave the least to her daughter-in-law. The original owner secretly saved his own food for the two children, who starved to death.

Of course Ms. Xie would not be serious about her past affairs. She felt that Mrs. Qian was unusual. She showed no timidity at all when meeting them and spoke openly and openly.

In fact, the old lady Renqian had met the two princes, and Rong Chuan even called her milk. When she saw this little official lady, she thought it was just drizzle.

After dinner, we talked for a while, and then we went to rest.

Early the next morning, Shangguan Ruoli, Ling Yue and Wulang took Shangguan Ruolan and Xie to the mountains to have a look. They were both women from a deep house, and even when they came out, they would stay in Zhuangzi. This kind of rural scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is really the first.

I saw it once and it was very refreshing.

A group of people picked wild vegetables and herbs in the mountains and forests. People who come from a medical family know about medicinal materials and can personally collect herbs. The sense of accomplishment and joy is different.

Shangguan Ruoli twitched his ears and saw two pheasants. He took off the small crossbow from his waist and shot two arrows, and the two pheasants fell into the grass.

"Oh! Hit!" Ling Yue and Wu Lang cheered and ran over to pick up the pheasant. Two crossbow arrows hit the pheasant's eyes and penetrated the chicken's head.

Mr. Xie put the wild vegetables she picked into the small basket, looked at Shangguan Ruoli with distress and love, and said with a gentle smile: "I didn't expect you to be so good at archery, and your arrows were all perfect."

Shangguan Ruoli pulled out the crossbow arrow, wiped the blood on the grass leaves, and said: "I learned from Father Wu Lang on the way to escape from the desert. I have to hunt game and defend myself."

Ms. Xie's eyes were red with distress, "I really made you suffer."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled nonchalantly and said: "It was hard at the time, but looking back, it was really thrilling and thrilling. After escaping, the children's courage, knowledge, and ability have all improved, and they are all sensible."

Wulang said happily: "Grandma, let me tell you, at that time..."

He talked about what happened on the way to escape, and his eyes were bright and cheerful, showing that no shadow was left behind.

Mrs. Xie smiled and listened to Wulang's clear childish voice echoing in the mountains and forests. She thought about Shangguan Ruoli's suffering after being kidnapped, and then remembered that the culprit had not yet been found. She felt sad and sorrowful for a while, and filled with hatred for a while.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at her in deep thought, his face was deep, his eyes were cold, and he asked with concern: "Mother, what are you thinking about? Your face is so ugly?"

Xie came back to her senses and said coldly: "The person who kidnapped you has not been found yet, and you have suffered so much, but they are getting away with it. I feel sad just thinking about it!"

Shangguan Ruoli helped her pick off the leaves from her hair and comforted her: "It is clear that they will not end up well! Besides, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have met Wu Lang's father, let alone Ling Yue and Wu Lang."

Two such good children, speaking of which, I have to thank that person."

Mr. Xie couldn't laugh or cry, and said dotingly: "You are always so kind, and your essence has not changed even if you lose your memory!"

Ling Yue joked: "Grandma, Wu Lang and I are my mother's lucky gift!"

Mr. Xie smiled and said, "Okay, okay! That's right! It's just fate."

The sound of "swishing, rustling" footsteps came from the woods. Shangguan Ruoli followed the sound and his face darkened.

Jiang Haoguang walked down the hillside with a backpack on his back. When he saw Shangguan Ruoli and the others, he was slightly startled, and his eyes fell on Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli was going hunting today, so he wore a men's spring shirt made of thick material, and his hair was styled in a men's bun, which made him look even more slim and graceful, with a slender waist and a handsome appearance.

Looking at Shangguan Ruolan again, he was even more fascinated by her skin as smooth as gelatin, her beauty and graceful appearance.
