Good luck and fortune come to the end of the world, the boss brings prosperity to the whole village

Song Jixiang told this to several people from the Jiang family. They didn't know what to do. The northern barbarians were about to attack Jingzhou, so wouldn't Qingzhou where they were be in danger as well?

"Could it be that the border town of Youzhou has been lost, so these barbarians are heading all the way north? General Shangguan has been stationed in Youzhou for more than ten years and has never let the northern barbarians set foot here. Although we are not far from the border, we have never been invaded by the barbarians. This is all thanks to General Shangguan!" Jiang was not a woman who knew nothing. She had heard her father and brothers talk about General Shangguan's reputation. Those stories of fighting in the battlefield made her, as a woman, feel her blood boiling. She wished she could be a man, ride a horse, whip the horse, and kill the barbarians with a knife.

Several children gathered around Jiang, their eyes sparkling, "Is General Shangguan really that powerful?"

"That's not true. How could mother lie to you?" Jiang nodded affirmatively.

Xiao Ruyi interrupted at this time, "General Shangguan was deposed more than a month ago, and was exiled to the northwest wilderness with the Queen's family!"

"Ah——" Jiang covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Why does God treat people who have made great contributions in this way..."

"It's not God, it's the imperial power of Dayu Dynasty that can't accommodate him!" Song Jixiang said quietly.

"Since it's not tolerated, just rebel against it..." Wei Yang was hit by Xiao Ruyi before he could finish his shout.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If someone hears it, no one in this room will be able to survive." Xiao Ruyi raised the bamboo pole in his hand.

"This matter cannot be decided in a short time. I have to go to the county today. Mother, do you and Xiaoqi want to go?"

Xiao Ruyi thought that there was nothing for her to do, and was about to go back to the house to study the topographic map of this place, when Song Jixiang called her, "Don't leave, you have to go with me today."

"Why should I go?"

"Today's flower-fighting competition is a rare event. Are you sure you don't want to go and take a look?" Xiao Ruyi rolled his eyes in his heart. What a bullshit event. It's just that without his portable space, fresh flowers can't be produced. It sounds so nice, but it still can't work without him.

Jiang smiled happily, "That's great, our whole family will go to the county to cheer you on."

So the family set off in a lively manner.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, it was blocked by several other carriages.

Wei Yang had to stop waving his whip, lifted the carriage curtain and asked Xiao Ruyi, "I don't know what happened ahead, so many carriages are stuck there."

"I'll go and take a look and I'll know." Xiaohong said as she jumped off the carriage and ran forward.

Song Jixiang heard some familiar voices and got out of the car to see.

Four carriages stopped at the entrance of the village, attracting many villagers to come and watch.

Song Yanran was holding her head high and directing several maids to move things, while Song Bowen and a man who looked like a housekeeper stood aside. Song Jiawen and Wen Shi were sitting in the carriage, smiling and chatting with the villagers who were watching the excitement. Old Lady Song and Chen Cuihua were carried to another carriage, and Song Jiawu helped Song Youcai get on the carriage.

What day is it today? All the members of the Song family’s old house are here.

Song Yanran turned around and saw Song Jixiang who was watching the fun. She walked up to him and said with a smile, "Liu Ya, are you here to see us off?"

Song Jixiang rarely paid attention to her and avoided the hand she extended.

Song Yanran didn't seem angry at all, "Those things in the past were all misunderstandings. We will still be good sisters in the future!"

Seeing that Song Jixiang ignored her, Song Yanran became even angrier. She didn't understand why this little girl who used to be timid in front of her had become so tough now. However, she didn't want to know the reason. She only knew that Song Jixiang made her very unhappy now.

So she continued loudly: "I heard that you also want to participate in the flower competition. I'm not saying anything to you, but don't always take advantage of your young age to do evil things and bring disaster to the family. It's a pity that my third uncle is gone. You, an orphan and a widow, should be more careful with what you say and do." After she finished speaking, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and she looked as if she was really worried about Song Jixiang.

Mrs. Bai and several other women came up and said with a cheeky smile, "Yes, our Yanran is now the wife of the county magistrate. She is willing to remind you. It is a blessing for a country girl like you. Why don't you thank her quickly?"

"Yes, Liu Ya, no matter what, you are all surnamed Song. Now that Yanran is doing well, will she forget about you, the third room? Don't act like a child and apologize to your sister."

"The county's flower-fighting competition is not something a little girl like you can participate in. Don't get into trouble and ask your sister for help."

"Yes, Yanran is your sister after all. If a family has any difficulties, you should support each other instead of hurting each other."

Several women were talking at once, but Song Jixiang remained silent. She just looked at Song Yanran quietly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Song Yanran felt a little guilty when she looked at her. She suppressed her uneasiness and said calmly, "What are you looking at me with? I'm doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful."

Song Jixiang stopped and smiled, "Wife of the county magistrate?"

Song Yanran puffed out her chest, her face full of pride.

"Why didn't I see you being carried away in a sedan chair? Could it be that you were taken as a concubine?"

"You, you are talking nonsense. You just can't stand seeing me doing well."

"Ah! If she's not a concubine, could it be a foot-washing maid?" Song Jixiang covered his mouth and exclaimed.

Xiaohong pointed at Song Yanran and laughed, "How dare you, a foot-washing maid, be so arrogant? Go away and hold your stinky feet..."

"You are so presumptuous." He raised his hand and wanted to hit Song Jixiang, but Song Jixiang was not afraid at all. He met Song Yanran's gaze and said coldly: "If you dare to hit me, I promise to make you regret it."

Song Yanran was frightened by her aura. Her hand stopped in mid-air, and she didn't dare to put it down. She knew that Song Jixiang was no longer the little girl who allowed her to bully her. If she really hit her, the consequences would be disastrous.

"That's enough. We're all family, why are you making a fuss?" Song Bowen grabbed Song Yanran's hand and asked her to let it go. Then he whispered in her ear, "Remember your identity and don't cause trouble for me again."

Song Yanran felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and said, "Brother, I just wanted to remind Liu Ya to be careful when participating in the flower show. I didn't expect that she would not appreciate it and even throw dirty water on me."

"Oh, so Liu Ya also participated in the flower contest. As your brother, I have to find a way to help you." The sarcastic tone made people feel suffocated.

Just as Xiaohong was about to step forward to argue, Song Jixiang grabbed her and dragged her back to the carriage.

There was the laughter of a group of women coming from the back.

"It's useless for a girl who knows nothing to go there. Bowen, why are you helping her? Haven't you seen that she doesn't care about anyone?"

"She is so ignorant that she thinks she can grow flowers just because she can grow jujube trees. Flowers are precious things, but she knows nothing about them." Mrs. Bai spat in the direction where Song Jixiang left.
