The journey back was extremely relaxing. Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng were also with us. From now on, they would be Jiang Weinan's people.

It was a pleasant experience to travel along the way, enjoying the mountains and rivers.

Xie Jiaojiao finally understood the human geography and regarded it as a trip.

Thinking about her previous life, after graduating from college, she found a class and worked hard in silence for several years. With the help of some money given by her parents, she finally made up enough for the down payment. After buying a house, she did not dare to slack off at work. After all, she still had a mortgage to pay every month. Therefore, after so many years of graduation, she had never even traveled far away, let alone travel.

Seeing that they had a rare leisure time on their way back, with no one chasing them or trying to assassinate them, everyone felt much more relaxed and walked much slower on the road. If Xie Jiaojiao saw a place with nice scenery, she would stop to appreciate it and have a picnic or something.

Moreover, whenever she saw some delicious food on the way, she would stop to taste it, thinking that if she returned to Jiangbo City, she could combine delicacies from all over the place and start some kind of business.

Jiang Weinan smiled and said to her, "After resting for half a year, have you been wanting to make money?"

Xie Jiaojiao just smiled: "Of course I have to make money well, so that our daughter will have money to spend in the future."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at Xiaoxiao in his arms: "Little one, don't you think so?"

Xiaoxiao babbled and looked very cute.

They walked and stopped like this for a month and a half, and it was already summer when they finally set foot into the territory of Jiang'an Prefecture.

Xu Shan stopped his horse and looked at the two roads in front of him: "Madam, should we go to Jiangbo City first, or go back to the village first?"

"Go back to the village first."

Xu Shan turned his horse right and headed towards the village.

Sun Ruhua has been looking forward to it for the past few days.

I had received a letter a long time ago saying that Xie Jiaojiao and the others were coming back. I was wondering, but counting the days, it should be time now.

Hanlu supported her and said, "Don't worry, old lady. If the young master and the young mistress come back, they will definitely come back to the village as soon as possible."

Sun Ruhua nodded, and suddenly a few carriages appeared in her sight. She was immediately happy, with a smile on her face: "I'm back, I'm back!"

Cold Dew is also happy.

The carriage stopped in front of Xie's house, and Sun Ruhua walked forward anxiously.

I saw only the green bamboo coming down first.

"Cuizhu pays respects to the old lady."

Sun Ruhua smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay."

The next one to come was Xie Jiaojiao.

As soon as he saw Sun Ruhua, he called out sweetly, "Mom."

Although Sun Ruhua was smiling, her eyes were red: "Okay, okay, you're finally back."

After saying that, he took Xie Jiaojiao for a walk. Fortunately... she didn’t lose weight.

Then he patted Xie Jiaojiao again and said with some complaints: "You damn girl, you've been away for more than half a year and just came back. Don't you want me as your mother anymore?"

Xie Jiaojiao quickly hugged her arm and tried to comfort her: "How could it be!"

Sun Ruhua wiped her tears, and Jiang Weinan got off the carriage holding Xiaoxiao.

Her attention was immediately drawn to Xiaoxiao again. She let go of Xie Jiaojiao's hand and smiled: "My Xiaoxiao has grown so big!"

Jiang Weinan shouted, "Mom."

Sun Ruhua nodded: "I'll hug you, I'll hug you."

Jiang Weinan handed Xiaoxiao over, and Sun Ruhua held the child: "Oh, my eldest grandson."

As he spoke, he walked inside.

Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan were left standing there.

"Hey, mom, now that you have a granddaughter, you don't want a daughter anymore?"

Sun Ruhua didn't even turn her head: "It's not like I don't have legs."

Xie Jiaojiao was speechless for a while and pulled Jiang Weinan inside.

Lai Fu and Manager Wang were responsible for unloading the things in the carriage.

In the room, Xiaoxiao sat on Sun Ruhua's lap.

Cuizhu handed over a box, and Xie Jiaojiao passed it to Sun Ruhua.

Sun Ruhua took it and handed Xiaoxiao on her lap to Hanlu.

"What is this?" Sun Ruhua asked, holding it.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."

When I opened it, I saw a pair of gold bracelets.

"Zhiyi bought it for you."

"Zhiyi bought it?" Sun Ruhua was surprised.

Xie Jiaojiao nodded and put the bracelet on her: "This is what Zhiyi bought for you with the money he earned from the pharmacy and his monthly salary."

Sun Ruhua's eyes turned red when she looked at the bracelet in her hand.

"This child, I haven't been willing to come back to see him for so long."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a noisy sound coming from the yard. Just as a few people stood up, Chen Shouren came in from outside the door, followed by many villagers.

As soon as Chen Shouren saw Xie Jiaojiao, he knelt down.

The villagers behind him immediately knelt down.

Xie Jiaojiao was startled: "What are you doing?"

Chen Shouren said to Xie Jiaojiao: "Now you are a first-rank lady..."

So that's what happened. Xie Jiaojiao quickly helped the man up.

Chen Shouren smiled and said, "Someone from the capital came to tell us a few days ago. I didn't expect that such a great person could emerge from our village."

Xie Jiaojiao stood there without saying anything, with a faint smile on her face.

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke up: "Ms. Xie, you are now a first-rank lady. For our village, that is a great honor. Do you want to set up a few tables and invite everyone to have fun?"

The villagers all nodded: "I think, it's better to set up more than just a few tables. If possible, we should invite everyone from the neighboring village."

Some people even said that they should go to Jiangbo City and set up a table.

Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, this was a good thing for the villagers, and since it was Xie Jiaojiao's treat, they just had to be responsible for the food.

However, everyone felt that Xie Jiaojiao really brought honor to the villagers. She went to the capital and was awarded the title of First-Rank Lady. Now, people from other villages wanted to marry the girls from their village, and girls from other villages also wanted to marry the men from the village.

After this news spread back to the village, the number of people getting engaged in the village increased a lot more than before!

Xie Jiaojiao: ...

Seeing that their words were becoming more and more exaggerated, it was time to speak up: "Your Majesty can grant me a title, and I am grateful in my heart, but this honor is given to me, but I am making a fuss about it. Isn't this undermining Your Majesty's trust in me?"

Everyone fell silent.

Xie Jiaojiao added: "Everyone, go back first. We just came back. Let's take a rest. If we want to treat everyone to a meal, we will definitely not forget you."

The crowd was a little silent, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.

It was Chen Shouren who nodded first: "Yes, you just came back, you should rest first. After you have rested, we can discuss other things."

Xie Jiaojiao glanced at him. Something else? What else? What did she need to discuss with him?

But in the end, nothing was said.

Chen Shouren led everyone away, and before leaving, everyone said goodbye to Xie Jiaojiao one by one.

It's really surprising.

When Sun Ruhua saw the people leaving, she said unhappily, "Bah, what kind of people are you? Some people here used to look down on you, and now that you've been given a title, you're sticking to them again."

Xie Jiaojiao comforted her: "It's nothing, they just want to take advantage of our family. If they want to take advantage, they have to see if I agree or not."

After that, he pulled Sun Ruhua and said, "Mom, don't tell anyone about Zhiyi's official career."

Sun Ruhua patted her hands and nodded: "Don't worry, mother knows it clearly."

"But, mother wants to ask, how did Zhiyi suddenly become an official? How did you get your title?"
