Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

She shook her head helplessly and sighed softly, "It hasn't been long since the warehouse was full again. We'll have to open a new one next time."

Gu Sinian's voice came from behind. He had just finished counting the guards in the tomb, and his face was still a little tired. "Wanwan, the woman I saw in the tomb yesterday looked exactly like you. What did she want to do?"

Bai Wanwan turned around, the light from the lantern reflected on her face, and her expression instantly became serious:

"In my opinion, she's probably a killer who wants to imitate me and get in, maybe even replace me.

We have to be more careful next time. How about we set a secret code?

If I say the king of heaven covers the earth and the tiger, you have to answer the pagoda suppresses the river monster.

I'll say again, "The breeze blows the willows, and you have to listen to the drizzle that hits the banana leaves. Remember that?"

As she spoke, she blinked deliberately, with a hint of childish mischief.

Gu Sinian stared at her for a moment, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and his voice lower than usual: "Okay, then I'll tell you a secret too."

Bai Wanwan leaned over curiously, only to hear him say, "Wanwan, I've actually always liked you, but it's not just the love between brother and sister."

These words were like a small stone, hitting Bai Wanwan's heart.

She blinked, and her smiling face froze instantly, and the lantern almost slipped from her hand.

She looked down at her small palm, then looked up at Gu Sinian.

Although he was taller than herself, there was still a boyish innocence in his eyes and eyebrows. He was only eleven or twelve years old at most, and she was only seven years old.

How can you say you like someone at such a young age?

"W-what did you say?"

Bai Wanwan's voice was a little shaky, but her cheeks flushed uncontrollably: "How old are we? Isn't it too early to talk about this?"

Gu Sinian's ears turned red. He waved his hands quickly, his tone urgent and serious:

"I, I don't mean anything else, I just feel...I feel I should let you know.

Every time I saw you arranging things, or when I saw you smile, I felt strange inside, but later I realized that it was love."

Bai Wanwan's heart trembled when she heard this, and she took a half step back.

The light from the lantern flickered, making her look helpless: "But, but we are still children..."

Gu Sinian looked at her flustered expression, regretting his rashness. He slowed down his tone and said softly, "I know it's too early to say this now. I won't force you to do anything. I just want you to know my feelings."

Bai Wanwan pursed her lips and said nothing more, but she tightened her grip on the lantern.

It turns out that the love of a person in his early teens is so straightforward and hot, like a charcoal fire on a winter night, which warms people's hearts unexpectedly but also makes people feel flustered.

Gu Sinian touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'm going back to sleep first. You should go back and rest early too!"

Bai Wanwan looked at his back and sighed, "What's going on? I treat him like a brother."

Zhiwei smiled and said:

"Actually, I think it's a good thing. The Eighteenth Prince is really good to you. He has made all your clothes since you were a child.

If there is anything delicious, I will send it to you from the palace. Such a man is rare in the world."

Bai Wanwan quickly shook her head and said:

"He is a prince, he will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future.

Bah! There will definitely be countless beauties in my harem in the future, and he won’t be the one I’m looking for.”

Bai Wanwan really liked Gu Sinian. She didn't know if it was out of habit or something else, but when Gu Sinian said it, her heart beat faster.

But this is not a reason for her to compromise. She comes from the modern era and will not change her mind for a man, so she and Gu Sinian will only be brother and sister.

Bai Wanwan tossed and turned until late at night before falling asleep. The next day, Zhiwei whispered:

"The Eighteenth Prince went into the mountains yesterday, saying he was afraid of being found by the assassins and becoming a burden to us. This is the note he left for you.

Prince Shen and several others are in the front hall. Would you like to meet them?"

When Bai Wanwan heard the servant announce that Shen Tao had arrived, her eyes lit up, and then she said, "Hey, that brat Shen Tao still remembers to come? I haven't seen him for two years. I want to see how he's doing."

Without any delay, she turned back to her room to wash up, changed into a clean moon-white lining, covered it with a dark blue official robe, and tied a jade belt around her waist.

Although he was young, he was very energetic. In just half a cup of tea, he walked towards the front hall.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard a burst of hearty laughter.

Shen Tao was sitting in the guest seat, playing with a jade ring in his hand. When he saw her come in, his eyes widened instantly, and he pointed at her official robe and laughed:

"Wanwan! Your clothes are really interesting. They are actually made by the county magistrate. What's the matter?

Are you secretly becoming an official?"

Bai Wanwan raised her eyebrows, deliberately glared at him with a stern face, walked to the main seat and sat down, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips:

"What's so funny? I'm the official in charge of Qingshui County now, a serious official.

Tell me, you came here suddenly, you didn't just come to see me, did you? "

Shen Tao stopped laughing and leaned forward, looking mischievous:

"Hey, I've been too bored lately, so I brought some brothers to see you.

I never thought you were living such a comfortable life, even becoming an official. I knew you would be successful wherever you go!"

Wang Jingheng raised his hand and waved. Just as he finished speaking, several followers came in carrying bulging bedding and neatly folded clothes.

Following behind were people carrying bags of rice and dry goods, filling up every corner of the front hall.

He turned to look at Bai Wanwan, his tone filled with helplessness and amusement:

"Now the news is spreading like wildfire in the capital, saying that you are living a hard and poor life here.

He also said that this place is so chaotic that people are eating each other, and your parents, grandparents, and grandparents are all scared to death."

He paused, remembering the advice given by his elders before departure, and continued:

"We were all worried, too, fearing you'd be wronged or suffer here, so we rushed over as soon as we had time.

Who would have thought that when I came over to see you, you were living a more comfortable life than anyone else, not at all like the poor people described in the legends!

Bai Wanwan said lightly:

"When I first arrived here, the situation was really bad, with starving people everywhere. It was only after we gradually cleaned up the situation that it became what it is today.

Put your things down first, and I'll take you out for a walk."

Everyone responded, put their luggage in place, and followed Bai Wanwan out of the city.

Not long after walking, Shen Tao looked at the smooth ridge in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You guys are really amazing. You transformed this place into this in such a short time. It's completely different from the rumors!"

Bai Wanwan turned her head to look at him, smiled and asked:

“How are your studies lately?

I have also set up a school here. If you feel that the education at home is not enough, why not go to the school for a few days and learn from the teacher?"
