Chapter 38 Arrival at the County Town



When they left in the morning, all the neighbors came to see them off and wished that Amu and the other two would pass the exam.

After thanking the neighbors, Linlang and Amu set off, met up with the Song family outside the town, and headed for the county town.

It takes half a day to get to Guliang County. If you leave early in the morning, you can arrive in the county town for lunch at noon.

Song owned a cloth shop, a grain and oil shop, and a rouge shop in Guliang County. These were all private properties that the Marquis had bought for her after her marriage, giving her confidence in the Marquis's mansion.

Of course, there are shops not only in Guliang County, but also in the capital and other places. Song has no worries about having no money to spend. The old lady can't control her and can only set rules for her.

Song and Su Jinyao sent Linlang and the others to their residence, telling them not to worry about cooking and that they would go to Baixianglou later.

As soon as they left, Rong Bowen and Lord Zhao and his wife arrived together.

Linlang, Amu and others came forward to pay their respects.

Zhao Yuning walked up to Lord Zhao and his wife, "Father, Mother, your son is back."

Mrs. Zhao hadn't seen her son for more than half a month. When she heard that her son's speech had improved a lot, she excitedly grabbed Linlang's hand and said, "Doctor Rong, thank you so much. You are our family's benefactor."

"Mrs. Zhao, you're too polite. It's a woman's duty to heal the sick and save lives. Mr. Zhao's current condition is the result of his unremitting practice."

"No, no, no. Without Doctor Rong's medical skills, Ning'er wouldn't be cured." Madam Zhao invited them to the county government office for dinner. "Just consider it a welcome dinner for you."

Zhao Yuning knew that Linlang and the others had an appointment with the Song family, so it was difficult to refuse. He came over to support the excited Madam Zhao, "Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you. I want to host a welcome party for Doctor Rong and the others. Let's do it tonight."

It means I have something to tell her.

"This..." Mrs. Zhao hesitated. There was no way to take back what she had said. Wouldn't that be disrespectful to her benefactor?

Linlang smiled and said, "I won't disturb Madam Zhao's family reunion. I will definitely come to visit once I have finished cleaning up here."

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao insisted that Linlang and the others go to the county government office for dinner in the evening, firstly to thank Linlang, and secondly to welcome them.

Before Linlang and the others had packed their luggage, Mrs. Zhao sent someone to deliver many gifts and insisted that they accept them.

"Thank you, Madam Zhao. I'd be grateful to you for the gift." Linlang accepted the gift. She didn't expect Madam Zhao to be so enthusiastic.

The Rong family's courtyard in Guliang County is relatively remote, in Liuhua Hutong, which is famous for the many pomegranate trees planted in the hutong. At this time, the pomegranate trees at the door and in the courtyard are full of fruits.

Rong Yi looked at the yard and praised with a smile, "Dad, this yard you found is really nice, especially these pomegranates, they are so red and prosperous."

"I came here because I heard about Liuhua Hutong. The pomegranate flowers were in full bloom at that time, and the combination of red and green was very beautiful."

Rong Bowen was very satisfied with this yard. "Linlang has always liked flowers and plants. Pomegranates symbolize fertility and good fortune. It's very nice."

Ever since listening to Linlang's account of what happened in her previous life, Rong Bowen has been sad for a long time. It was all because of his incompetence and failure to protect his two children.

When he was working at the Dali Temple, he was so busy with the cases that he neglected his wife and children. When he came to his senses, his wife was already seriously ill and passed away soon after.

He raised his two children alone and did not give them a good life. His son is an ordinary pig butcher, neither high nor low, and has not yet found a wife.

My daughter met a scumbag, and it almost ruined her whole family. Fortunately, everything is over. My daughter is married now, and I have no other requests. I just hope that they will love each other until they are old and live in peace and happiness.

Just like the pomegranates on the tree, they are bright red and bring many children and blessings.

Rong Bowen picked the reddest and largest pomegranate and said, "Mo'er, eat the pomegranate."

"Wow, this one is so big." Mo'er hugged the pomegranate excitedly, "Dad, that one is also big and red."

"Okay, okay, let's pick it." Rong Bowen picked up Mo'er, put him on his neck, and let him pick the pomegranate.

Ah Mu asked Lin Lang to rest while he packed his luggage. Lin Lang sat by the window and watched her father holding Mo Er picking pomegranates. "Amu, I seem to have seen the future life of our family."

The years are quiet and good, so beautiful.

Amu came over and said, "Yes, we will live happily."

Yes, they are all alive, and being alive is happiness.

Just as they finished packing, Su Jinyao drove a carriage to pick them up. "It's a bit far from here to the restaurant. I'll pick you up quickly."

The Song family has always been thoughtful. They booked two tables at Tianxiang Tower. Rong Bowen and Chen Dong were there, so they split the two tables.

"Linlang, order whatever you like." Song handed the menu to Linlang, "We are not like them, ordering whatever you want."

I wanted to follow the host's wishes, but Song insisted. Linlang smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."

"This shrimp is delicious, and this crab is so tender and tender right now. Don't miss it."

Linlang ordered another vegetarian dish, "Madam, these three dishes are enough for me."

The better the restaurant, the smaller the portion; three dishes are enough.

"I didn't expect that Linlang likes eating shrimp and crabs as much as I do. The shrimp and crabs at this time of year are indeed the most plump and delicious, with rich roe. They are absolutely delicious."

Before, Linlang could eat anything and didn't show any particular concern for any food. How could someone who had suffered so much have the right to be picky about food?

Linlang nodded. "The crab roe noodles are also very good. I'll buy some crabs and make them at home when I get a chance. If Madam doesn't mind, we can go and try them."

"You can also make crab roe noodles, so I must try it. I used to make crab roe noodles several times a year. Not only do I like it, but the Marquis and the four children also like it."

Song smiled and said, "Then let's exchange cooking skills and learn from each other."

She could hardly suppress her excitement. Rong's father and son didn't like shrimp and crabs, but Linlang did. She also liked crab roe noodles.

Linlang must be his little Lisheng, that’s for sure.

The dishes Song ordered were all based on Linlang's taste. "If only we had met a few years earlier, we missed each other for so long."

If Song had met the original owner a few years earlier, perhaps the original owner would not have been killed by Li Guangping and would have had a happy future.

"This must be fate. When destiny comes, we will naturally meet." The original owner and Song had no fate. Song came to the villa every year to escape the summer heat, but the two had never met.

Looking at Song's rosy face, Linlang changed her fate and hoped to change the fate of Marquis Anchang and the four princes. If she lost them, Song would not be able to survive.

There is still one year left, I hope it’s not too late.

Changing everything starts with driving Gu Yuanfang out of the Marquisate. She is the Fourth Prince's person, and she has exploited the Marquisate of Anchang thoroughly.
