Xiaowan didn't expect that the good news brought by Xianggong turned out to be that the queen mother was pregnant. And it was the queen who personally wrote a letter to Ling Chaofeng to tell him on his behalf, and the world does not know about this happy event at present, and it will not be announced to the world until the fetus is stable.

This made Xiaowan overjoyed, and what was even more unexpected was that the mother of a dignified country really regarded her, a little country lady, as a close friend, and told her about the happy events that she couldn't say to the people of the world.

A few days after that, Xiaowan made a wish to the jade ring every day to bless the safety of the queen's mother and son, and went to the City God Temple with Su Su to pray for blessings.

Su Su naturally didn't know that the inn had received the current emperor and queen, and when she saw Xiaowan making a wish to give birth safely, she only thought that Xiaowan was looking forward to her and the shopkeeper Ling being able to get a noble son as soon as possible. I decided to go back to the inn to work early, so that Xiaowan would not work too hard.

When they returned to the village, they had to pass through Siyun Pavilion, the door of the store was still closed when they came, and it was already open at this moment, and the faint fragrance emanated from the store, but in the past, countless women in Baisha Town were invited to see the fresh rouge shop, and now the door is full of birds, and it is very deserted.

They walked across the street, originally by the way, not to avoid Siyun Pavilion, but unfortunately, they heard the guys at the grocery store talking to each other: "Have you heard, now the county magistrate is raising that woman." ”

Another said: "I have seen it a long time ago, otherwise those catchers would have come to calm her down." ”

The one just said: "It's really a good thing from the kiln, no wonder she walks and talks very demonically, that day she was beaten all over her body, and the feather duster was interrupted, how can she be well raised in just a few days, if she can't raise it well, how does she serve the county master?" ”

Xiaowan and Su Su hurried by, but they could hear it clearly, both of them looked a little embarrassed, and walked farther, Su Su couldn't help asking: "The town is so big, you can't look up and see you when you look up, Xiaowan, can we really be like this?" ”

Xiaowan thought for a while and said: "Xianggong said, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, you don't have to avoid her and you don't have to be afraid of her, if you see her in the future, if she is not embarrassed, we don't feel comfortable doing anything." But if she is still entangled and dares to do something hurtful, if she doesn't wait for her to do it, Xianggong will end her, Su Su, don't worry. ”

"I'm naturally relieved, and I still want to go back to the inn tomorrow to work." Su Su said.

"Don't worry, you have a good rest, there is no business in the inn." Xiaowan was concerned and smiled shyly, "Naturally, if you are in a hurry to take Daqing's board car, I can't stop it." ”

Su Su hurriedly said: "You are getting worse and worse, when the shopkeeper comes to pick you up at night, the shopkeeper must take care of you well." ”

Xiaowan said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of him, he's afraid of me." ”

Su Su sneered: "Forget it, when I see the shopkeeper, I will be cowardly, I am very well-behaved, and I don't know who it is." ”

They frolicked to their homes, walked through the entrance of the town, and saw two people setting up stalls, thinking that they were selling groceries, but when they got closer, they found that they had come to receive the goods.

It is said that 500 years ago, there were princes and nobles who built a palace here, and after a landslide, the palace was buried in the mountain.

Now they have to ask the local people to collect it, to see if anyone has picked up or dug up anything, and after they have identified it, they will definitely collect it at a high price.

Xiao Wan and Su Su looked at each other, remembering the two guests who lived in their inn before, always leaving early and returning late, but Su Su had never met them on the road when he came, and Xiao Wan was curious at that time if they had entered the mountain.

After returning to Baisha Village, it didn't take long for several ladies to come, saying that there was someone in the town who came to collect antiques, and they didn't know what antiques were, but the family at the head of the village took a pickled vegetable jar and got five taels of silver.

"Su Su mother, your tiled house is also some years, you look through it, if there are any strange things, take them to those people to see, maybe you can exchange a lot of silver." The women in the village were very excited, and they went home to rummage around, and there were really people whose things were taken a fancy and came back with real money.

Aunt Chen said that this house belongs to the shopkeeper Ling, even if there is a baby, they shouldn't have it, since Xiaowan doesn't care, if the shopkeeper Ling doesn't care, he won't be too lazy to toss.

In the night, Ling Chaofeng came to pick up Xiaowan, Daqing also came back, recently he got a mule cart, no longer blindly pulling boats to sell coolies, every day to send goods to merchants, give more money than being a slender man, and then there is an inexhaustible supply of fat and forage all over the mountains, and it does not cost too much money to raise a mule.

As for the cushions and cloth shoes that Su Su made for him, he was reluctant to wear the cloth shoes, and the mats were also very cherished, and he refused to sit on them for those merchants, so he hid them when there were people.

Su Su knew, and when he saw it, he said weakly: "I'll make you a few more, it's not good to snub the guests." ”

At this time, sitting under the eaves, Aunt Chen cut the melon sent by Xiaowan and distributed it to everyone to eat, Daqing was reluctant to eat it, saying that this melon was very rare and wanted to take it back to his mother to taste, Su Su pushed his two pieces over, lowered his head and did not speak.

Xiaowan leaned on Xianggong, hehe, he laughed, and was disgusted by Ling Chaofeng, so she coughed dryly and said seriously: "Then from tomorrow, we will pick up Su Su every day in Daqing, and we will calculate the salary for you, and you will be regarded as our Lingxiao Inn in the future." ”

Daqing and Su Su glanced at each other, Su Su's face was red to the root of his ears, and he nodded, and Daqing said: "I don't dare to ask for wages, the shopkeeper gives me mules and carts, and I earn more money these days than I have earned in the past two months by pulling boats." ”

Xiaowan said: "Of course, you have to earn more money to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Daqing stammered, scratched his head and said, "Yes, yes......"

Su Su's face was almost ripe, and she said to get water for everyone, turned around and ran.

Ling Chaofeng whispered in his wife's ear: "Don't bully Su Su, can you bear it?" ”

Xiaowan smiled: "I didn't say anything." ”

Aunt Chen saw it in her eyes, and then sent Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan out, she said to Xiaowan that she also looked at Daqing very much, but Su Su was married, even if Daqing's family was poor, people were not allowed to pay attention to it.

On the way home, Xiaowan chattered to Xianggong: "Su Su has always coiled her hair, and anyone with a discerning eye understands why, if Daqing is taboo, he will not interact with us." What's more, when something like that happened, not only did he not dislike it, but he took the initiative to care, telling me that day before that, they met on the road, and they didn't know who was waiting for whom. ”

Ling Chaofeng listened to her chatter, but he just smiled and didn't speak, thinking that if this trip was saved, this little lady would be able to live for a lifetime.

Their horses were walking slowly, and they called some of the quickest people to catch up, but they did not go to the pier of the Baisha River, but turned a corner and went to the mountains.

Along the way, Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng met many such people, she remembered that there were antiques in Baisha Town, it turned out that the news had already spread, and people within a radius of ten miles had come to the mountains to treasure treasures.

Early the next morning, Su Su came to work on Daqing's board car, and saw a lot of people along the way, holding sickles and hoes.

Su Su asked Daqing: "Are you going to dig treasure?" ”

Daqing said with a smile: "My mother told me last night, if I can dig up the life of the treasure, my family can't be so poor, and it is easy to get the promotion of the shopkeeper, and it is important to work hard." ”

Su Su said softly: "You can't bear to leave your aunt, so you don't go to work far away, and you are not hungry and freezing with your aunt, why are you poor." ”

Daqing looked at her and said seriously: "I have already saved two taels of silver." ”

Su Su was stunned, wondering if she was thinking nonsense, and smiled shyly.

In front of the inn, Xiaowan was already sweeping the floor, Su Su hurriedly ran to pick up the broom, and said with a smile: "Inner shopkeeper, you go to rest in the house, let the little one sweep the floor." ”

Xiaowan and Daqing waved their hands, watching the cart go leisurely, she said in a pinch tone: "In the past, you didn't work hard, I could still clean you up, but now it's not good, someone is protecting, where do I dare to work as a vegetarian girl." ”

Su Su said behind her, "Shopkeeper, you're early." ”

Xiaowan immediately coaxed, turned around and smiled, for fear that Xianggong would accuse her of bullying Su Su, but there was no one in front of the door, Ling Chaofeng didn't come out at all, Su Su was so happy that Xiao Wan came to tickle her.

Aunt Zhang came to sprinkle water with a basin, and when she saw the two little ladies so happy, she smiled and said, "What is so happy, have you also dug up treasures?" ”

Xiao Wan looked bad, pointed to the east and said, "Auntie, Su Su's baby, I just went to the dock." ”

Just as Ling Chaofeng came out and glared at her, Xiaowan immediately ran over to sell her obediently: "Xianggong, have you had breakfast?" ”

Ling Chaofeng said to everyone: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, we all went to Lizhou Mansion to catch the market, and by the way, we can also go to see Miss Meng, it's a long way back and forth, and we will stay there for one night." ”

Su Su was very cautious: "It doesn't matter if there's no one watching in the store?" Shopkeeper, I came in the morning, the road is full of people going to the mountains, there are people in the nearest two miles away from us, I don't know how long they are going to dig, we are not at home when we turn back, how good is it for them to break into the inn. ”

Ling Chaofeng smiled faintly: "It's out of the way." ”

Xiao Wan said strangely: "Why haven't I heard from the people in the village, what kind of palace was here five hundred years ago?" ”

Su Su said: "Many people in our village have taken things to exchange for money, and the collector of antiques said that if he could dig out something from the mountain, it would be more valuable, and they could afford to give an extra few hundred taels of silver. ”

Xiao Wan glanced at it from afar: "It's so strange, where does this barren mountain and wild forest come from." ”

And this matter is not an exaggeration by Su Su, the news has spread all over the villages of Fangyuan, and the villagers who rely on the sky for food all year round can miss it when they see such a good financial route.

Even the people of Qingling Village were alarmed, and they did not hesitate to walk more than ten miles into the mountains, and then the Xu family came with their daughter Wenjuan and Aunt Wang's family next door.

When they came, someone came out with a sack of things, and everyone gathered around him to ask if there was really one, and where he dug it, but the man was secretive, saying that he wanted to make a fortune and find it himself, so he took the treasure he had dug up, and rushed to the town to find the money for the antiques.

In the afternoon of that day, news came that the man's sack of things in the morning had been exchanged for fifty taels of silver. Suddenly, almost all the villages within a radius of ten miles were dispatched.

Xiaowan has been married to Lingxiao Inn for so long, and they have not seen so many people on the road, and gradually they began to get closer to the inn, or crossed the inn to the Baisha River wharf, Uncle Biao took the pig-killing knife and turned around the inn twice, and the villagers did not dare to go down the mountain, and went directly over the mountain.

Before sunset, Xiaowan came to hang a lantern outside the store, and saw a little girl standing on the side of the road, she squinted her eyes and asked, "Juan'er?" ”

"Big sister." Sure enough, it was Wen Juan who ran over, the child was covered with dust, a foot of mud, and tears on his face, and whimpered, "Sister, my mother and I are lost." ”

"How did you get lost?" Xiaowan took out a handkerchief and wiped her face.

"She took me to dig for treasure in the mountains, but I couldn't walk, I rested under the tree, and I couldn't wait for her to come back." Wen Juan whimpered and cried, "Sister, did my mother let the wild wolf eat it." ”

If the Xu family was really eaten by a wolf, Xiaowan would be quite happy, but unfortunately the younger brothers and sisters are still so young, even if they are not obedient or not close, they are innocent children after all, and Xiaowan can't ignore this situation, so she took Wenjuan back to the store, washed her face and hands, and took the food.

Ling Chaofeng came downstairs, and as soon as the couple summed up, they decided to send Wen Juan back to Qingling Village first.

"What about my mother?" Wen Juan asked crying.

"It's dark, the mountains are so deep, where to find them. What about Aunt Wang's family? Xiaowan asked her sister, "Didn't you see it?" ”

Wen Juan nodded: "I haven't seen it, sister, does my mother don't want me anymore, she doesn't bring her brother to dig, only me." ”

Xiaowan sighed lightly: "Probably because Wenbao is small, don't cry, the eldest sister will send you back first." ”
