Chapter 22: Sharing the Sangma with You Chapter 21

"In fact, the previous rain has made the current drought situation much better. At least it brings hope." The young guard sighed.

The meal was ready over there. The girl was holding the bowl and looking at Lan Hanlu with hatred. Although Lan Hanlu had noticed it a long time ago, she didn't care. But that person didn't know how to restrain herself at all.

Lan Hanlu looked over coldly, a solemn expression on her face as she pursed her lips. "If you look at me like that again, I'll dig out your eyes."

The look and demeanor frightened the young girl so much that she shuddered and dropped the bowl in her hand. The old lady next to her turned around to glance at her granddaughter and sighed inwardly.

This is the only legitimate daughter of the old family. Her mother is the old lady's niece. She has been adopted by the old lady for two years and is spoiled by her.

However, after seeing the scene today, the old lady realized that the child had been spoiled to the point of having bad thoughts.

Lan Hanlu didn't care about what the people over there thought. She turned around and listened to what the young guard said. Her eyebrows curved when she heard this. She was so unkind. Seeing that group of people suffer such hardships, she felt inexplicably relieved in her heart.

"Eat quickly and stay away from those saints, so that you won't be implicated when they are struck by lightning." Lan Hanlu said as she picked up the spoon again, scooped a spoonful of dumpling soup from the pot, and poured it into the little guard's bowl.

The young guard didn't react at first. He said thank you and drank a mouthful of the dumpling soup before he realized what was happening. He almost spit out what was in his mouth.

But he managed to hold it back in the end, and Guard Li also had a smile in his eyes.

When going to bed at night, they had another round of calculations. The family should have three wives under the old lady, and the girl was the daughter of the eldest wife, named Jiaojiao.

The second wife and her husband had three concubines and three children.

The third wife and her husband had a concubine and a child, but the third wife was probably born out of wedlock. Although the family members called her the Third Master, they were less respectful than those in the second wife.

With so many people around, the dilapidated temple itself was not very big, and Lan Hanlu and his group occupied half of it. The people opposite had a dispute when they were sleeping at night.

Originally, they had a carriage to sleep in separately, so it was enough for one night.

But the girl named Jiaojiao was so stupid. When she saw everyone arguing, she ran over to find Lan Hanlu. She came to the group of people and pointed at Lan Hanlu and started talking.

"Hey, can't you see there's no room for us with so many people? Hurry up and move aside to give us some space."

Hearing her words, the old lady's face turned pale with anger. Lan Hanlu's two maids quickly stood in front of him. But they didn't say anything. After all, the master hadn't spoken, so it was better for them not to say anything.

Lan Hanlu didn't stand up, but simply glanced up at her. "If you have no manners, go back and learn some lessons. Don't embarrass yourself here."

When Jiaojiao heard this, she reached out to scratch him. She had been unhappy with this woman for a long time. She relied on her good looks to flirt with people everywhere.

This is really unfair to Lan Hanlu. Knowing her appearance and for the sake of her own reputation, she basically never comes out of the carriage, so how could she go there to hook up with anyone?

But as soon as the woman moved, all the guards around her stood up, their swords half-sheathed. The clanging sound of iron made her freeze in place.

The old woman gave a wink, and the second and third daughters-in-law hurried over and pulled the woman named Jiaojiao over.

The old lady came over tremblingly, supported by her maid, apologized again, and brought over a box of gold coins.

Lan Hanlu didn't refuse and directly asked the maid to accept it. After the group of people returned, she winked at the maid, and the maid distributed the gold coins to the guards.

It is always a pleasure to receive rewards, and the atmosphere here is very good.

Zhou Jiaojiao, who was pulled back, was frightened. She hid in her grandmother's arms and cried. How could a young lady have ever seen such a scene?

Not only that, his second uncle, after being reminded by the escort leader, walked over to the old woman. "Mom, escort leader Liu just said that although these people are commoners, their identities are definitely not ordinary. The swords they carry are all imperial style.

If you allow her to cause trouble like this again, our whole family will have to pay the price with him." The old lady's face turned extremely bad after hearing what he said, but she did not refute anything.

He stretched his face and nodded to show that he had listened.

The guards here saw that nothing was wrong, sheathed their swords and went back to their own business.

Lan Hanlu covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "I don't know which of you Miss Jiaojiao has chosen. I've really suffered an unexpected disaster."

Her words were a joke, and the men reacted quickly. They all turned around to look at the woman and then turned away again.

"Let's get up early tomorrow and set off on our journey. Don't worry about them." Wei Jian said in a deep voice.

Lan Hanlu nodded in agreement without meeting them. The next day, they got up early and packed up quickly, intentionally keeping a distance from that group of people.

Although these people tried their best to follow, they kept a certain distance, which made the road much quieter.

Lan Hanyue had been fine with the four servants Lou Xiao had chosen for her. There were two young maids, one thirteen and one fourteen. One, Grape, was lively but knew the rules.

There was another one named Lizhi, who was a little restless and always wanted to get close to the guards following the carriage. After all, these people were the emperor's entourage, and they were all outstanding in appearance, height, skills, and family background.

If I could really get close to her, I would be very lucky, but as a maid, doing so would be a bit unworthy of my duty.

The two maids were quiet and lonely, but they were very considerate when it came to taking care of people. They also gave Lan Hanlu some advice on how she wanted to make friends with everyone.

But he spoke with moderation, not making people feel restricted, and he was also tactful when interacting with the guards, not appearing too flattering or cold.

Lan Hanlu felt that all of these people, except Lizhi, could be trained. This would be discussed after arriving in the capital. If I remember correctly, there should be several loyal servants in the general's mansion in the capital. However, who they were in the end was still a matter of debate.

It would take only two days to reach the capital, and everyone felt relieved. They wanted to travel as quickly as possible and reach the capital as soon as possible.

But it started raining at noon that day, and the group finally arrived at an inn. Although the inn was not very prosperous, it was still quite small.

But at least we don't have to get wet in the rain. Although we didn't encounter any major disasters along the way, there were still many minor incidents. Although this rain is not good for the journey, with the previous rain as a foundation, this rain can be regarded as a complete end to the drought.

It’s just that it’s been a long time since the rain began, and Lan Hanlu couldn’t remember when it started, otherwise she wouldn’t have been caught in the rain.
