Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

Yes, Su Xi'er is also Yu's biological child. Why not divide the money equally between the two of them? It's not because he passed the Tongsheng test that this mother valued him more and thought he was useful.

"Little Bai, don't cry. When you pass the exam, or even become a Jinshi, more and more people will treat you well. This is human nature." Su Mulan said seriously.

"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to give embers in the snow. The more capable you are, the more naturally others will be willing to treat you well. My parents are no exception." Seeing that he stopped crying, Su Mulan continued to listen carefully.

"Eldest sister, what will happen if I don't have the ability? Isn't my mother my mother?" Seeing the serious expressions of the two of them, Su Xi'er also interjected.

"Look at that hen with a group of chicks. When it is chased by a wild cat, the weakest one that can't keep up with the group will be abandoned. The hen can only do this in order to protect more chicks." Su Mulan said seriously. .

"Then I don't want to be the weakest chicken, I want to be the fastest one!" Su Xi'er said with a smile.

"Chickens are like this, and so are people. Learning female beauty is just the basics. If you have to learn more skills in the future, your mother will naturally treat you well. Do you understand?" Seeing her innocence, Su Mulan also smiled.

"Eldest sister, do you mean that there is nothing wrong with my mother being nice to me?" Su Xiaobai's thoughts were more complicated, and he still frowned and asked.

"There is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. Most people want to be rewarded for their kindness to you. It's up to you to tell the difference." Su Mulan shook her head and said.

"Then what should we do if we can't tell the difference?" Su Xiaobai stared at Su Mulan nervously.

"It takes time to see people's hearts, and time can help you distinguish those who are sincerely good to you and those who have other motives." Su Mulan sighed.

In this world, only parents’ love for their children is the most selfless and does not ask for anything in return.

Is that really the case? Or is this the case for every parent?

The sky is immeasurably high and the earth is immeasurably thick. If you fight with people's hearts, the world will be easily broken.

Su Xiaobai saw that this conversation seemed to arouse Su Mulan's sadness, so he pulled Su Xi'er and quietly exited the room.

Looking at the backs of the two little ones, Su Mulan also had a special feeling in her heart.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the system mission that required her to raise the two of them until they grew up. So will she be willing to survive with two oil bottles?

Apart from anything else, if there was no food in the system space, it would be difficult for her to feed herself. How would she be able to raise her older siblings?

Farming? Won't.

Doing business? No capital.

Family background? My father and mother got married, and they brought two oil bottles with them, one was ten years old and the other was eight years old.

With only a half-full of martial arts skills, she could only survive as a female bandit.

[Host, have you finally realized the benefits of Ben Tongzi? 】

[Although you are a bit useless, it is better than nothing. 】Su Mulan said lightly.

[When you talk like that, you’re talking to death. 】

[I usually pretend to be dead, but now I suddenly come out to increase my presence. If I have anything to say, please just say it. 】Su Mulan mocked.

[Well, something really happened. I sensed that the host had acquired a new piece of ancient jade, which is of great benefit to me. 】

[You mean this jade comb on my head? Could it be that instead of silver, you want jade instead? 】Su Mulan said in surprise.

This is the small box that Xie Chengan left behind when he left last time. Because the comb symbolizes love, Su Mulan just put it on her bun without any space.

There had been no movement in the system for so many days, so Su Mulan thought it was just an ordinary jade item.

Unexpectedly, this guy suddenly asked for it. It seemed that this jade comb was not a mortal thing.

Thinking back to the jade pendant that Xie Chengan originally used to pay for medicine and the jade hairpin that he later gave her, Su Mulan realized that the system was in great need of jade.

【Indeed. Stone is the essence of the earth, and jade is the essence of the stone. Some jade stones contain supernatural energy and are of special benefit to beings like me. 】

[Then what kind of existence are you? 】Su Mulan was confused and asked directly subconsciously.

【Existence that you cannot understand. 】

[I--you mean that there is spiritual energy in jade. Isn't that what some fairy tales say? 】Su Mulan's thoughts changed, and she suddenly felt that she had guessed the truth.

[With your wisdom, it is difficult for you to understand this. It's like if you draw a line on the path of an ant, it will think that the road is broken and go around. 】

【You can go to bed now. 】Su Mulan was so mocked that she wanted to vomit blood. I have no interest in communicating with the system anymore.

[Host, your piece of jade is useful to you, so I don’t want it anymore. That comb...]

【Hmph! 】Su Mulan had no choice but to take the jade comb out of her bun and throw it away bitterly.

He actually still misses Jade Pixiu!

However, if the system really wanted it, she couldn't. Can't live without it!

The next day, everything was settled, and Su Mulan packed five carriages in one go and rushed to Anlan County. Agent Lin was not traveling with Su Mulan, and he had to explain the case at hand before he could escape.

Su Mulan, Yu, Xi'er, and Yang Jing sat in one; the six maids shared one; the three brothers from the Wang family and the two brothers from the Yang family sat in one.

Xiaobai, Li Fan, Qingniu and half a car of Xinrou, luggage and other things shared a car. There was another carriage carrying various belongings and belongings of the Su family. The truly valuable things have long been taken away by Su Mulan.

There were eighteen people in the group, which was quite a large group.

Anlan County is a bit far away from Qingsong County, but closer to Fucheng.

Anlan County is located at the junction of three provinces and was once under the jurisdiction of this province.

The geographical location is surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing a river on one side. The three mountains in Anlan County belong to the boundaries of three provinces, and there are three inspection departments stationed there, resulting in multiple orders and some confusion.

In the end, the dynasty placed Anlan County under the Qingyang Mansion under the Jiangbei Chief Envoy. Qingyang Prefecture has eight counties and two prefectures under its jurisdiction. Anlan County is the most remote and is already a border county of the province.

Although Anlan County is located among mountains, it is not poor. Just because it connects the north and the south and connects the water and land key points.

Anlan County covers an area of ​​80 miles from north to south, 240 miles from east to west, and a total of 30,000 households within 72 miles. At that time, it had a population of more than 180,000, making it a large county with a large number of operas.

The so-called complicated drama refers to the large population and complicated affairs in the county. In such large counties, the county government office is often fully staffed or even overstaffed.

The county is rich in mineral resources, forest resources, water conservancy resources, and arable land resources, and there is even mountaintop grassland suitable for grazing!

That's all. Anlan County is also a large county with prosperous culture and education. In the more than 100 years since the founding of this dynasty, there have been 28 Jinshi and more than 100 candidates. There are more than 2,000 scholars.

So many great talents from the imperial examinations came out of Anlan. Although there are no top-level officials above the second rank, there are more than a dozen officials from the fifth to the third rank, and more than a hundred officials from the sixth and seventh ranks.

After these officials retired and returned to their hometowns, they naturally formed local forces.
