Since the completion of the construction of the memorial arch of filial piety, Ran'er and Qinglian have been receiving local officials from nearby prefectures and counties who have come to congratulate them.

Ran Er also knows that she and her sister Lian'er, the nominal county monarchs, should be thanks to Lord Rui to put it bluntly. Therefore, the state and county officials who came to congratulate him all came to see the face of Lord Rui. Naturally, the most important thing to come to the Bamboo Forest Villa is to bow down in front of the archway that was built. This is a sign of respect for the saints of today.

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, counting the days, Guan Zhongping has been away from Zhulin Villa for nearly two months, and often thinks of Guan Zhongping, who has been guarding here for nearly two years.

It's just that as the war at the border continued, news gradually came in. At first, there was nothing, but this time the war was fierce, and the imperial court was mobilizing a large number of troops and food and grass. Gradually, the news of some war tensions also reached Ran'er's ears.

For no reason, Ran Er became more and more nervous.

"Sister, do you have something on your mind?"

Ran'er's abnormality was naturally seen by the elf's eccentric Qinglian.

"No, where did my sister come from?"

"I still said no, I can hide it from others, can I hide it from Lian'er?"

"You're smart."

Ran Er stretched out the index finger of her right hand and poked it lightly on Lian'er's forehead.

"Did I say yes?"

"No, my sister has no worries."

Of course, Er finally understood that the nervousness in his heart was because Guan Zhong usually wouldn't say anything to Lian'er.

However, as the rumors increased, it was even rumored that the imperial army suffered several defeats one after another, and the soldiers in front were killed and wounded countless times. Ran Er became even more restless. Even her grandparents could see that Ran'er was abnormal.

"What's wrong with Ran'er, do you have anything on your mind?"

Facing her grandmother's questioning, Ran'er was not as good as she was to Qinglian.

"Grandma, Ran'er doesn't have anything on her mind, but she heard rumors that the war at the border is unfavorable, and she feels sorry for the soldiers and their families who died in battle."

"Alas, wars, wars, wars, every few years there must be wars. If you fight, you will die, they are all young and middle-aged, who does not have a wife and children? ”

Ran'er, who didn't want to say anything more on this topic, said to her grandfather instead:

"Grandpa, eldest cousin Liang'er should be finished at this time, right?"

"It's over, I don't know how I did in the exam?"

"With Cousin Liang's talents, I don't think there will be a problem."

"It would be nice if this was the case, our Ge family has not had a scholar for many years."

Not long after the three grandchildren said this, they received a letter from their uncle, in which they first reported the good news to their grandparents, as well as Ran'er and Qinglian, saying that Ge Liang had won Xiucai. Because he had to entertain friends and relatives at home, my uncle would not be able to leave until mid-March.

The eldest grandson was admitted to show talent, which naturally made his grandparents happy, so the Bamboo Forest Villa was lively for several days.

One evening at the end of February, the village chief of Xia Village suddenly came to Zhulin Villa and handed Ge Zhuang a letter, saying that it was brought back by a merchant from a neighboring village and sent to Ran'er. Ge Zhuang didn't dare to delay, and quickly handed over the letter to Ran'er.

Looking at this inexplicable letter, I heard that it was brought back from the border pass, and Ran'er's heart couldn't help but pound.

He hurried back to his room, closed the door, and opened the letter.

Sure enough, Ran Er was not mistaken, it was the letter sent by Guan Zhongping.

Miss Ann? Farewell to Zhulin Villa, it has been more than 50 days in a hurry. There are still frequent wars at the border gates, and Zhongping always thinks about the bits and pieces in the villa whenever he has leisure. In the past two years, Zhongping has thanked the eldest lady for her care. In my dreams, I often dream of the filial piety archway that was built, but unfortunately Zhongping was not able to worship in person, which is a pity.

In addition, he also said some customs and things at the border, etc., and finally told Ran'er to cherish it, as for how the war happened, Guan Zhongping said four words tightly in the letter, "The war is frequent", which makes it difficult for Ran'er to let go of the letter after reading the letter.

However, if you think about it carefully, since Guan Zhongping was able to write a letter, at least more than half a month ago, people were still safe. This is somewhat good news.

For Guan Zhongping to be able to write a letter to himself, Ran Er didn't expect it at all.

I thought about it again and again, thinking about whether to reply to the letter as well. But

"The letter is easy to write, how do you send it, and where do you send it?"

This is indeed a difficult matter, not to mention that there is no suitable messenger, even if it is found, the war at the border pass will definitely not be fixed in one place, so whether Guan Zhongping can be found and handed over the letter to him is the biggest problem.

It's not that Ran'er didn't think about sending the letter through the Guòrui Palace, so that it would definitely be delivered to Guan Zhongping. But can you? Ran Er just thought about it, after all, between himself and Guan Zhongping, in the eyes of outsiders, there is nothing to do with each other, and suddenly there is a correspondence, wouldn't it arouse suspicion?

Ran'er, who had been worried and hoped to get the news of Guan Zhongping's safety, suddenly got Guan Zhongping's letter, which added extra worry to her heart.

The days passed, and finally ushered in the uncle and Ge Liang. What Ran'er didn't expect was that her aunt also came to Bamboo Forest Villa together. Only the little cousin who needs to take care of the shop is left at home to take care of the house.

When they met each other, after greetings, they inevitably gave Ge Liang a congratulatory gift.

Of course, there is no need to worry about this matter, after all, there is a mother. Today's Ge Wei, as long as she doesn't stand under the sun for a long time, access is no longer a problem, and there are already vague shadows under her.

With the fame of the Bamboo Forest Villa, the people who come to play all bow in front of the filial piety archway built by the erection of the house, naturally, because of admiration, go to the ancestral hall in front of Ge Wei's tomb, that is, the incense of the Fang Soul Shrine is more. Under the peak of the incense, the speed at which Ge Wei and Lord Lingyin condensed their bodies naturally accelerated. Therefore, in just a few months, Ran'er's mother Ge Wei has made great progress. In addition, staying in the space of that jade pendant day and night, and being nourished by the rich aura of heaven and earth, the condensation of the body is afraid that it will soon succeed.

The things that followed, for Ran'er and Qinglian, and for Zhulin Villa, were all good things.

Occasionally, when it is difficult to fall asleep at night, Ran'er will silently muttered in her heart.

"It is said that things must be opposed, since inadvertently saving Uncle Yao Wenlin, except for being harassed by his biological father Xie Yu, the villa has hardly encountered any other twists and turns, not only have there been no twists and turns, but even one thing is bigger than one thing, and one thing is more surprising than one thing. Is it really good to go on like this? ”

Ran'er, who couldn't make up her mind, decided to take a time to discuss with her grandfather. After all, my grandfather is also a person who is proficient in the art of yin and yang. The yin and yang news of this and the other, my grandfather should know much better than himself.
