"I don't know this as a teacher." Zhou Wuchang said truthfully.

"However, it seems that the Chen family has not stopped lately."

Not only does it not stop, it seems to be pretending to be a ghost.

The woman named Han Yueniang kept publicizing that her daughter was a lucky star who came to the world. She said that when she was pregnant with this daughter, she dreamed of a lotus flower in her bosom, and Qilin stepped on the clouds and circled around her.

He also said that when her daughter was born, groups of magpies were flying around the roof of her house, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Yingbao had expected that Chen Tiantian's mother and daughter would not stop, and she was not too surprised, but she was worried that Chen Guanglu would harm her family in the dark, and even wanted to drive a wedge between herself and her master.

After all, the master's identity is here, so Pei Shixian and Han Yueniang's mother and daughter have both suffered from the master.

They are afraid of Master, so they will definitely move their minds elsewhere.

"Master, my family has enmity with Chen Guanglu's family, so the Chen family will definitely speak ill of my family in the dark, and even sow dissension. Master, don't believe it."

"Yeah." Zhou Wuchang smiled and nodded: "Is a teacher someone who is easy to trust others?"

Yingbao smiled when she heard the words, turned around and ran to pack her things.

Early the next morning, Jiang Quan took Li Dao, Li He and his younger junior sister back home.There were two carriages following behind, and Zhou Wuchang's master and apprentice were on the carriage, as well as a lot of luggage.

After traveling for more than two hours, the three carriages arrived at Dongchen Village at noon.

Yingbao saw many trees fall along the way, probably blown by the strong wind that day.

Fortunately, my orchard is fine, and the grapes and peppers are also fine, but a lot of fruit was blown off.

"Bao'er!" Chunniang rushed over when she saw her daughter came back, hugged her and began to cry.

Jiang Wu also ran over, followed by Rhubarb wagging his tail desperately.

Ying Bao wiped A Niang's tears, said a few words to comfort her, and then hugged her younger brother.

Seeing that his little master ignored him, Dahuang was so anxious that he kept circling around Yingbao, bumping his head against her from time to time, which was very obvious.

On the other side, Jiang Sanlang didn't have time to inquire about his daughter's recent situation, because her master and senior brother also came, so he had to lead Zhou Wuchang's master and apprentice into the room.

Dani helped cook tea for the guests, and Old Man Jiang and Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang also came to accompany them.

As soon as Jiang Quan came back, his father arranged for him to go to the market outside the village to buy some pork, mutton and tofu. When there were guests at home, he had to tidy up the table and invite the patriarch and some respected people in the village. Come over for dinner and wine.

So, the three sisters-in-law of the Jiang family joined forces, and together with Dani, they quickly made a banquet.

Yingbaoquietly Mimi took out her own wine and peach wine from the cave, as well as a large jar of peach juice and apricots in syrup, pretending to bring them back from the county town, and handing them to Auntie.

Chunniang didn't suspect him, so she gave all the fruit wine and juice to her husband who was sitting at the table, and asked him to pour drinks for the guests.

Patriarch Chen took a sip of wine and couldn't help but sigh: "This wine is mellow. It has been brewed for a long time, right?"

Jiang Sanlang responded with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Chen just drink a few more glasses, this fruit wine is not good at all."

He raised his glass to everyone again: "Everyone, please! This fruit wine is made at home, and it is not intoxicating."

After all, he drank it first.

The things my daughter brought out were all good. In such a hot weather, it was still freezing cold. There was a layer of water vapor on the outside of the wine jar, and it was very refreshing to drink.

Zhou Wuchang also took a sip from the wine cup and nodded: "This wine is sweet and long-lasting in the mouth. It is better than the wine brewed by the first-class restaurants in the capital."

The rest were also full of praise.The wine is not only sweet and delicious, but also cold, which is really refreshing to drink on this hot day.

After Zhang Min drank a glass, the senior brother forbade him to drink any more, "The juice is also good, you can use that."

Although Zhang Min was dissatisfied, he also knew that he should not drink too much in other people's homes.

Although this wine is not good, if you get drunk, it will embarrass the master.

Let's talk about Yingbao, I ate in the kitchen with my aunt, my uncle's mother and my second aunt, and then I took my younger brother and Dahuang to Luyuan to visit you.

Since the little master left, Yoyo prefers to stay in the deer park, and brings a large herd of deer out of the deer park every day, wandering around the village very leisurely.

Before the siblings arrived at the deer park, they saw the tall and majestic deer standing in the middle of a herd of deer, big and small, like a king.

"Yo Yo!" Ying Bao shook his hand at Da Lu.

The big deer turned its head and stared at it for a while, then suddenly galloped over, stood still in front of the little girl, and couldn't stop butting its head against her.

Yingbao hugged Youyou's neck, touched its antlers, and took out a piece of candy she made from her bag and stuffed it into its mouth.

When Jiang Wu and Da Huang saw each other, they quickly stretched their necks and came closer: "Sister, what did you give Yoyo? I want it too."

Yingbao had no choice but to take out another small bag of sugar with Wudingzhi added from the bag and hand it to his younger brother: "Eat slowly, and get it from me when you finish eating."

Now that the weather is hot and humid, the candy melts quickly when placed outside, making it sticky and hard to preserve.

Jiang Wu immediately pinched a piece and threw it into his mouth. Seeing Rhubarb screaming anxiously, he had to give it another piece.

The two siblings just took a herd of deer for a walk around the village, and went to see the saponins trees that circled the village.

These saponin trees grow densely, tall and compact, and the trees are covered with sharp thorns. It is estimated that even a dog cannot get in.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, the saponin trees of Yingbao really formed a wall, and now it has grown to two feet high, with ferocious spikes on it, and goose bumps all over the body when you get close.

Jiang Wudao: "Sister, the trees you planted ended up benefiting outsiders."

Yingbao turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Wu pointed at the saponins tree, and then pointed outside: "The saponins grows a lot. People in our village only occasionally come to pick some saponins to wash clothes, and the rest are picked by foreigners."

"What are they doing picking so many saponins? Are they making soap?" Ying Bao was curious.

Jiang Wu: "Well, they picked it as soon as they picked it, and no one in our village cared about it, but those outsiders chopped off the branches with knives, and some even tried to cut off the whole tree. My father knew about it and drove them out of the south. It’s too late, and now those foreigners live in the old village, there are dozens of households.”

"Why do so many foreigners come to our village? Why do they cut down saponin trees?" Yingbao asked.

Jiang Wu: "They all escaped from outside. It is said that there are often military disasters and robbers outside. They couldn't survive, so they had to flee to other places. At first, my father looked at them pitifully and allowed them to pick some saponins and sell them for money. As a result, the foreigners were very happy." Dishonest, trying to cut it off so that it can live in our village."

Ying Bao frowned.

She planted a circle of saponin trees around the village to guard against foreign enemies. If they were cut down, wouldn't the people in her village be in danger if bandits came like a few years ago?

"It's not a problem for them to live in the old village, is it? Lizheng doesn't care?"

Anyway, the old village is also the site of Dongchen Village. If it is occupied by people for a long time, there will be no fights for land in the future.

Jiang Wu: "Father went to Lizheng and asked him to come forward to solve the problem. Grandpa Lizheng came to see him once and said that he had already reported it to the county government, and only waited for the county magistrate to give orders to resettle these foreigners. But it has been half a year. There is still no news from the county government."
