The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 391 Let's go to Hu Family Village

After Old Wang and Ouyang Changjing had their conversation, Ouyang Changjing sent out a number of people that very night.

He needs to spend time verifying what Old Wang said.

“Young Master, we can’t linger here for too long.” On the second day, Ouyang Pei heard that they weren’t going to look for the Wang family yet, and he immediately became anxious.

He has the personality of a military general, and he believes in doing things quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. How could he stand such a dawdling process?

"After what we said last night, I thought about it some more. Regardless of whether that child is Ruan Ruan's descendant or not, even if he is, we can't let Ruan Ruan make too many decisions for him."

Ouyang Changjing's usually gentle expression turned solemn.

The departure of their younger sister caused a great shock to the entire Ouyang family.

Was my little sister really just being naughty?

For nine whole years, he never set foot in the capital of the Western Wind Kingdom again.

Even if they whitewash the situation and convince themselves that their younger sister is reluctant to go home because she misses the beautiful scenery outside, they will still find it difficult to maintain the peace and tranquility.

Nine years is far too long.

My younger sister has grown up to the point where she has a child outside of marriage.

Ouyang Pei: "Even so, the child should be taken back to Xifeng Kingdom. After all, that is her homeland. What's the point of thinking about other countries?"

Ouyang Changjing: "The child may not think that way."

The two argued endlessly, while Ye Yuncang leisurely finished a cup of tea and placed it on the table with a clatter.

Both of them looked at Ye Yuncang.

Ye Yuncang: "Haven't you noticed a problem?"

Ouyang Pei and Ouyang Changjing exclaimed in unison, "What?"

“The child looks to be about three or four years old, somewhere between three and four. Ruan Ruan looked just like that when she was a little over three years old.” Ye Yuncang gestured to his legs to indicate the height difference. “But the information we found earlier only said that the child was born on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Have you thought about which year’s August 15th it was?”

These words caused a slight change in the expressions of both of them.

The royal family of Xifeng Kingdom has a very obvious characteristic, especially noticeable in the women.

That is, they look different at each stage of their lives.

They look one way from one to three years old, and another way from three to seven years old. After seven years old, their appearance doesn't change as much as before, but there are still noticeable changes.

After the age of fifteen, their appearance and growth were no different from that of a normal person.

The child in front of me appears to be between three and seven years old.

It's quite amazing that, at that stage, Ruan Ruan and I were almost identical.

Ouyang Pei: "You mean to say that the child isn't as big as he looks?"

“The child’s age doesn’t matter much to you or me, but it has a huge impact on finding Ruan Ruan’s whereabouts,” Ye Yuncang said. “Right now, you’re both investigating from three and a half years ago, but if the child isn’t just over three years old, you can search high and low and still not find the evidence you want. You might even alert her and end up losing the clues.”

This sounds absurd, but upon closer examination, it may not be entirely false.

Ouyang Changjing: "Let's not go to the Wang family to ask for the child yet. Let's just spend some time with the child and have someone check his bone age so we can find out how old he really is."

Some children may have a bone age that differs from their actual age due to insufficient nutrition at birth. However, skilled martial artists are particularly sensitive to bone structure, and if they understand medical principles, they can make more accurate judgments.

They can see through all appearances and know a child's true age.

“It’s easier to estimate a child’s bone age before the age of seven, but it’s not so easy for adults to figure it out.” After a moment of thought, Ouyang Pei came up with a good idea. “Didn’t the Wang family say before that we don’t have much of a connection with the child? Let’s take advantage of this beautiful spring weather and take the Wang family and Ayu on a trip. We can find out along the way.”

Ouyang Changjing: "Do you know how to determine true bone age?"

Ouyang Pei honestly said, "I can roughly figure it out, but I can't guarantee the exact size." "Let my senior brother go with me." Ye Yuncang called his senior brother with particular ease, "He works at Puji Temple and also prescribes medicine for people; he's a medicine monk."

Incidentally, he's also a martial monk who also serves as the abbot.

Yunzhi is quite knowledgeable about everything except Buddhist principles.

Ouyang Pei shuddered at the thought of the other party's unfathomable martial arts skills.

They had a good plan, but when they told the Wang family about it, they were met with a flat rejection.

"Go to Feng'an Village to see the peach blossoms?" Old Mrs. Wang smiled slightly. "Speaking of peach blossoms, why not come to our Hu Family Village? The peach blossoms are in full bloom now, and the mountains are cool. They will probably remain in bloom for another seven or eight days. Why don't you distinguished guests take a stroll in our village?"

Little Ayu also said, "Yes, yes, I don't want to go to other villages to see peach blossoms. The peach blossoms in our village are so beautiful! Did you see the peach tree in front of the steamed bun shop? And the peach trees in our yard are all very pretty. They were all brought from the village!"

The busy farming season holiday hasn't arrived yet, but the village's sugarcane workshop needs to start operating, and the village school needs to be reorganized.

Grandma Wang planned to go and see for herself. Little Ayu hadn't been back to the village for a long time and now wanted to go with Grandma Wang.

Of course, I don't want to go to other villages to see peach blossoms.

In her personal space, the fairy had planted several peach trees. Every night, when Xiao Ayu went in, she could see the trees full of peach blossoms, which was incredibly beautiful.

Little Ayu no longer cared about the peach trees outside.

"Go to your Hu Family Village?"

"Yes, yes, our village also has a General Temple. People from other villages go there to worship the General. Every ten days, there is also a small temple fair in the village, which is a lot of fun."

After discussions among Village Chief Hu and the village elders and villagers, it was decided to develop Hujia Village into a tourist destination, following the example of Feng'an Village, which attracts outsiders with its peach blossoms.

If it can attract literati and scholars, the village will surely become more famous, and the villagers' income will naturally increase accordingly.

Everyone signed a confidentiality agreement, promising not to utter a single word about anything that shouldn't be said to outsiders.

"Uncle, our village is really nice! Why don't you all come and see it?"

Looking at Xiao Ayu's expectant eyes, Ouyang Changjing was about to refuse, but somehow he nodded.

"it is good."

Ouyang Changjing's bodyguards were on a stealth mission when someone suddenly patted them on the shoulder.

Red Hare handed over a porcelain bottle.

Bodyguard: "?"

"Hujia Village is a good place, with many secluded spots," Chitu said expressionlessly. "It's just that there are a lot of mosquitoes, and their bites are quite painful."

Bodyguard: "...Thank you."

He reached out and took the porcelain bottle, but the other person gripped it tightly and did not let go.

Bodyguard: "?"

Red Hare: "A special secret recipe, please accept ten taels."

Secret Guard: “…”

Red Hare: "We have houses in the village, which are very well hidden, ensuring that we won't interfere with each other's missions. There are also newly built secret passages. If you want to stay, it will cost 20 taels per person per day."

Bodyguard: "!!!"

Tell me, are you all former unscrupulous merchants who switched careers?
