The carriage drove slowly into a cave, where the road was rarely bumpy, swaying a few times, and the whole carriage was pitch black.

On the side of the cave, you can still hear the faint sound of water, and even the air around you has become a little colder.

About a moment later, after driving out of the cave, I could faintly hear a burst of lively shouting, and even the air was filled with a sweet smell.

"Hey, it's here."

Ruan Ruan couldn't help but lift the curtain, only to see that the carriage was still halfway up the mountainside, but under the mountainside, there was actually a town, which was bigger than the imperial palace but smaller than the capital.

The high walls are built against the mountains, and it seems that all the mountains are the strong walls of the city.

Seeing that Xiao Tuanzi was curious, his uncle shouted:

"Qiaojia Village has arrived."

Qiaojia Village?

Xiao Tuanzi looked left and right, but he didn't see a small village there, but saw a bustling city close in front of him.

"Mother, where is home?"

Ruan Ruan finally couldn't help but ask.

Seeing this, Qiao Ruan Qing poked his head out of the car window and pointed to the most central location in the city: "Well, our house is in the middle, and there is the highest attic." ”

Looking in the direction, Ruan Ruan was already dumbfounded, and his mouth opened widely:

Who said that the mother is a rough girl in the countryside? No matter how you look at it, who is the lady of a wealthy family!

Ruan Ruan retracted his thoughts, nodded, and pretended to be calm: It's okay, Ah Ruan is already mentally prepared.

After entering the city, ah no, entering the village, Ruan Ruan followed his mother home, and along the way, there were many enthusiastic villagers who fed some grain into the carriage.

"Young City Lord, take it back and eat it! These eggs are fed with grain! ”

"Young City Lord, I heard that Miss is back? Where's the young lady? ”

“…”

So enthusiastic, in the face of a bunch of sweet snacks in his hand, Ruan Ruan went back to write a peach blossom spring story overnight.

As soon as he arrived at Qiao's house, Xiao Aruan saw many people waiting at the door, and the leaders of them were a middle-aged couple.

"Qing'er is back! My youth! ”

The old woman hurriedly stepped forward, stretching her neck, as if she wanted to see her daughter immediately, with a pair of slightly relaxed eyes and flashing tears.

"Auntie, Daddy."

Xiao Tuanzi was carried out of the carriage by his mother, with a relieved smile on his face.

The middle-aged man is relatively stable, but in those deep eyes, there are tears:

"It's good to come back, we only know your situation in the palace, we knew this was the case, we would have brought you back a long time ago!"

That emperor dared to treat Qing'er like this! At the beginning, Qing'er did everything for him without hesitation...

"It's okay, I'm back anyway, and I'll never return to the palace again."

Qiao Ruanqing smiled, feeling the little group behind him grabbing the corners of his clothes hard, looking a little timid.

"Ah Ruan, this is my grandfather and grandmother!"

The mother pushed Ruan Ruan to the front and began to introduce them one by one, and the smile on her face never stopped.

The little girl like glutinous rice dumplings looked at the two old men in front of her timidly, blinked her clear apricot eyes, and said, "Grandmother and grandfather are fine~"

This soft little milk voice really softened the hearts of the two old men.

"This is Ah Ruan, good boy!"

With a smile on her face, her grandmother immediately took out a small object and gave it to Nguyen.

At first, Ah Ruan didn't care, and after taking it, he thanked him sweetly, but unexpectedly, an elder brother behind him immediately exclaimed: "Grandmother, this is a gold bracelet that can buy a city!" That's how you gave it to your cousin! ”

The exclamator is Qiao's family grandson Qiao Yunchuan, who has followed his father Qiao Ruan Zhi to understand the ore since he was a child, and he is naturally a knowledgeable person.

"What are you exclaiming, we have a lot of mountains behind us!"

Qiao Ruan glanced at his own son, and then took the mother and daughter into the Qiao family's compound-

Xiao Aruan was so shocked that he couldn't speak, just saying that the bracelet on his hand that looked ordinary was actually worth a fortune, and the Qiao family, there were still a bunch of them in the back mountain...

Who said that the mother is a rough girl in the countryside???

As soon as you enter the courtyard, there are many gentle garden-style buildings, pavilions, and rockeries on the lake, and even more prosperous than the imperial garden in the palace!

Xiao Tuanzi's eyes were dazzled, and he even doubted his life.

Qiaojia Village, what kind of magical place is it?

Although the Qiao family's compound is not as big as the palace, it is several times more luxurious than the palace. Or pick up a random stone, which is also a strange ore...

[Look at Ah Ruan's stunned appearance, I won't think that our Qiao family is money except for money. 】

Hearing her mother's heart, Ruan Ruan closed her slightly open mouth, straightened her voice, and continued to follow her uncle into the main courtyard.

What else does the Qiao family have besides being rich? Xiao Aruan was also a little curious, this Qiaojia Village, isolated from the world, looked like another small country.

Isn't it, my grandfather is the emperor of the soil here?

Actually, it's no different from the Earth Emperor.

In other words, it is just a monopoly on the lifeblood ore of the entire continent, and no emperor is willing to offend the so-called hidden Qiao family-

It's just that Xiao Aruan doesn't know so much, he only knows that the Qiao family is rich.

When they came to the main hall, the family sat together in harmony, eating tea and chatting.

Xiao Ah Ruan was sitting beside her mother obediently, silently eating the snacks in her hands, and threw herself on the food, full of joy: Huh, fortunately, there are a lot of delicious foods here! Ruan Ruan doesn't have to worry about her mother's life!

At that moment, a boy of about ten years old approached:

"Little cousin, let me tell you, there is a lot of fun on this mountain, and I will take you to catch crabs and dig bird eggs in the future!"

Hey? Crab? Bird eggs?

Tears flowed from the corners of Ah Ruan's mouth: "Brother, isn't it delicious?" ”

Eat?

Qiao Yunze was stunned, and nodded again, as long as it is made, it is delicious, but he prefers this process.

"My name is Qiao Yunze, Sister Ruan! The conspicuous bag of the right talent is my eldest brother, named Qiao Yunchuan, we are all your cousins! ”

The little boy pointed to the thirteen-year-old boy not far away, who seemed to be quite steady, and he was extremely fascinated by the study of ores, so he exclaimed in front of Ah Ruan.

Qiao Ruan Zhi has two sons under his knees, that is, Ruan Ruan's two cousins.

The Qiao family, except for Ruan Ruan's mother, who is the only daughter, finally has a little girl now, and she is such a cute, soft and well-behaved little girl!

Who can not be rare!

The sons of the Qiao family are not angry! Can't give birth to a daughter!

"Daddy, aunt, I'll take Sister Ruan to play in the future! Don't worry! ”

Qiao Yunze patted his chest, and had already pulled Xiao Aruan to the front.

At this time, Qiao Yunchuan was not convinced: "That's also my cousin, why can you only play alone?" ”
