Xiaoguo worked day and night to make shoes for Qin Anming, and Zhuangzhuang felt a little jealous.

Mom hasn't been close to me these two days!

His strong little eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about something.

Xiaoguo was in high spirits. He had just learned how to make shoes, and he wanted to make a pair of shoes out of all the small animals in the house.

Zhuangzhuang tried his best but failed to attract Xiaoguo's attention. But it would be a lie to say that she didn't pay any attention to him. Occasionally, she would lower her head to kiss Zhuangzhuang, but before Zhuangzhuang was ready to kiss her back, Xiaoguo would continue to bury her head in her shoes.

It took three days to sew a pair of shoes, which was finished one day later than expected because there was a spot in the middle that was sewn the wrong way around, so Xiaoguo took it apart and sewed it again.

"Zhuangzhuang, can you please send it to your uncle tomorrow?"

Xiaoguo cut off the last thread of her shoe and threw it away, then placed it on the table and spoke to Zhuangzhuang who was watching over her.

"Yeah, okay!"

Zhuangzhuang saw Xiaoguo finally put down the shoes and jumped up happily. His mother finally finished making the shoes! !

Xiaoguo got Zhuangzhuang's consent and happily prepared to go to bed.

The next morning, Xiaoguo didn't get ready to go after dinner because the weather was a little cool in the morning and evening. Xiaoguo is not afraid of heat but cold, so she chose to go at noon when the temperature was highest. The sun would warm her body and she was not afraid of freezing.

Xiaoguo prepared lunch in advance, ate early and went early, and then got home before the sun set.

Zhuangzhuang was watching Xiaoguo while she was lighting a fire. Xiaoguo was cutting vegetables on the chopping board. The clanging sounds covered up the knocking on the door. Xiaoguo didn't hear it at first, but Zhuangzhuang was close to the kitchen door, so he heard the knocking at the front door.

Zhuangzhuang reached out and pulled Xiaoguo's clothes, asking her to stop.

Xiaoguo felt Zhuangzhuang's little hands pulling at his clothes, so he put down the kitchen knife, looked at Zhuangzhuang, and motioned him to speak.

"Mom, there's someone."

Zhuangzhuang pointed at the door, and at this time there was a knock on the door again.

After getting Xiaoguo's consent, Zhuangzhuang ran out to open the door first, and Xiaoguo followed closely behind.

Zhuangzhuang was quite cautious. He only opened the door a crack and looked outside. Seeing that it was a stranger, he did not open the door but moved two steps to make room for Xiaoguo.

Xiaoguo looked at Zhuangzhuang and felt a little strange. He was not a shy kid. Looking at his expression, could it be that he was an unfamiliar person? Who was this person?

Thinking of this, Xiaoguo walked over and opened the door.

"Hey?" Xiao Guo looked at the person who came and found that he was not a stranger. She had met him before. She was the village chief's wife who came to see her and gave her the land deed.

"Auntie?"

Xiaoguo was curious about how she got here, so he opened the door wide and let her in.

The village chief's wife waved her hand, indicating that she would not go in. "Xiao Guo, are you free now? I have something to tell you."

Xiaoguo nodded strangely, "I'm free."

The village head's wife asked Xiaoguo to go to her house with her as soon as possible.

"What are you doing at your house?"

Xiaoguo was a little puzzled seeing how anxious she was. Normally, the two families didn't have much contact with each other, so why was she so secretive today?

"I don't have time to explain in detail. Someone is coming from the capital. Come with me quickly. I will explain in detail on the way."

The village head's wife pulled Xiaoguo and was about to go out, fearing that the adults in her family would be waiting anxiously.

Of course Xiaoguo couldn't go with her as there was a fire at home.

"No, Auntie. I'm still cooking at home and can't leave. What's going on?"

Seeing that she had an expression that said, "If you don't explain clearly, I won't go with you," the village head's wife felt helpless and could only tell her roughly. She also blamed herself for being too impatient.

"It's like this. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law were from the capital when they were alive. They were wrongly accused and sent here, and they were never allowed to enter the capital. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he overturned the case for your Jiang family, restored their reputation, and allowed them to enter the capital. Now the emperor in the capital has sent people to take your father-in-law and mother-in-law's graves back to the capital to be buried with the ancestors."

The village head's wife told the whole story in one breath. Xiao Guo was stunned. She seemed to have heard these things from Jiang's mother and the younger Zhuangzhuang. At that time, Xiao Guo had just given birth to Zhuangzhuang. Jiang's mother looked at the baby in the cradle on the bed and said with emotion, "If you were still in the capital, you would definitely speak with a silver spoon in your mouth." It seemed that this was the sentence.

Xiaoguo, who was still in confinement at the time, didn't take it seriously. But now after hearing what the village head's wife said, she remembered it.

What was the Jiang family's background that could have alarmed the emperor?

Xiaoguo felt a little puzzled, because he only knew that the Jiang family was quite rich in the past, but he had never heard of what they did specifically.

"Let's go, Xiaoguo, the adults have been waiting for a long time."

The village head's wife was a little anxious. Seeing that she was still not moving, she was so anxious that she wanted to reach out to pull her.

"Yeah, I understand. I'll talk to Zhuangzhuang first."

Xiaoguo was not going to take Zhuangzhuang with him. Seeing that Mrs. Yang was so anxious and kept saying "adults, adults", Xiaoguo didn't understand the situation and decided to go and find out what was going on by herself.

"Okay, hurry up."

Xiaoguo took Zhuangzhuang back to the kitchen, "Zhuangzhuang, mom is going to go out for a while. You are alone at home, so don't light the fire yet. Don't worry about the boiling water. Lock the door from inside. No one is allowed to open the door except mom. Do you understand?"

Xiaoguo really didn't know what was going on there. How come there was no news for such a long time and now such a thing suddenly popped up?

After watching Zhuangzhuang sincerely agree, and seeing him lock the door from inside, he followed the village chief's wife to her home.

Along the way, the village head's wife told Xiaoguo the details of what happened. Xiaoguo listened carefully and finally understood the origin of the whole thing.

It turned out that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he rehabilitated all those who were wrongly accused, including several major families of the Jiang family. The person who received the order was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital, and the county magistrate of Yonghai County, who were waiting for Xiaoguo at the village chief's house.

Xiaoguo understood after listening to this. She was wondering why he was so anxious. So that was the case. It was indeed true. How could he not be anxious? For a small village chief in a small county town, the other two officials were dozens of times more powerful than him. How could he not be extremely nervous?

Thinking of this, Xiao Guo felt a little confused. Would she have to kneel down to pay her respects when she went there? Should she kneel down on one leg or both? Should she bow her head or lie on the ground? What words should she use? She only remembered the words "a concubine" and "I" in the ancient imperial palace. How did ordinary villagers pay their respects? It was so confusing.

After a long journey, Xiao Guo followed the village head's wife to her home.

Before he even entered the door, he was shocked by the large army of carriages and soldiers guarding outside the door.

This was the first time Xiaoguo saw real soldiers. He had only seen such a big battle on TV.

Because the village chief lived at the entrance of the village, the entire large army stretched from the door of his house to the outside of the village, and even reached the small river outside.

Other people's carriages are what you call a carriage. Xiao Guo carefully looked at the carriage parked at the door. If ancient carriages also had grades, this would be a modern BMW. Then he compared it with his own donkey carriage.

Forget it... Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry...
