As soon as he walked out of the Ma family's mansion, he was greeted by a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

This young man is seven feet tall, has arms and waist, a handsome face, bright eyes, and a smile that makes people like him.

"I've met the princess."

Jiang Shaohua recognized the person at a glance. This young man has been with Magistrate Ma today and is the direct grandson of Magistrate Ma.

Speaking of which, Magistrate Ma worked hard to get rich. He took all three of his sons out, but in the end only the youngest came back alive, and he got seriously ill on the grassland, which damaged his vitality. A few years after they got married, they gave birth to children. That is, Ma Yaozong, the grandson of the Ma family in front of him.

In fact, the Ma family had a huge gamble and many of their nephews and descendants died. In the past twenty years, everyone has worked hard to spread their branches, but there are few men. In Ma Yaozong's generation, there were only three men. This does not bode well for a family that was once prosperous.

No wonder Magistrate Ma still refuses to retire even though he is seventy years old. This means that we have to wait for the Ma family's nephews and descendants to grow up before they can safely hand over the family business to their descendants. It would be even better if the princess was willing to be extra merciful and let the Ma family continue to be county magistrates.

Everyone has selfish motives, so why is Magistrate Ma an exception?

Jiang Shaohua, who is well versed in people's hearts, saw this information flash in his mind, and said with a smile without showing any emotion on his face: "Why is Mr. Ma here?"

Ma Yaozong cupped his hands and replied: "My grandfather told me to stay here and wait for the princess to send me."

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly: "I want to take a look around Biyang County, but I don't know where to start. Since you are here, let me lead the way!"

Ma Yaozong perked up and immediately agreed, then cautiously added: "Since the princess is traveling incognito, she has brought a little more people with her."

It's true that Biyang is a big county, and there are only four or five households that can really be considered big. Even the young masters and girls from these four or five families only take two or three maids and servants with them when traveling. A group of people as powerful as the princess is really eye-catching.

Jiang Shaohua readily accepted: "What you said makes sense."

He turned to Song Yuan and told Song Yuan: "Uncle, your appearance is too eye-catching. There is no need to follow you out today. Let Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao follow, and the others will go back."

Song Yuan said: "The princess is traveling with only the two of them. How about this? The princess goes first, and I lead the others to disperse and follow."

Song Yuan's tone was very insistent.

Jiang Shaohua didn't worry about these trivial matters and agreed with a smile.

Then, Ma Yaozong led the way, while Jiang Shaohua and Chen Jinyu walked forward slowly, followed by Yin Zhu Tubai and two tall and strong young soldiers.

In this way, it looks like a group of young men and women traveling together.

"When the princess comes to Biyang, there is a place you must see." Ma Yaozong was obviously very proud of Biyang. He straightened his chest unconsciously when he spoke: "Not far ahead, there is a big tooth shop."

Chen Jinyu interrupted curiously: "What is there to see in the dental shop?"

Ma Yaozong did not dare to look directly at the princess, but he still dared to glance at the lively and pretty Chen Sheren: "Back to Chen Sheren, most dental shops elsewhere buy maids and servants. Most of our dental shops in Biyang are from outside the customs. Foreigners. They look different from us, some have green eyes, and some have blue eyes."

Chen Jinyu was very excited when she heard this, and grabbed Jiang Shaohua's sleeve: "Princess, I want to take a look."

Jiang Shaohua corrected him seriously: "Call me sister."

Chen Jinyu followed the good example and immediately changed her tune: "Sister, I want to go to the dental clinic."

Jiang Shaohua pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister, if you want to go, just go."

Ma Yaozong still didn't dare to look at the princess, and quietly glanced at Chen Sheren with a bright smile again: "Chen Sheren..." "You have to change your title too." Chen Jinyu said with a smile: "Well, you call me Miss Chen, call Princess Jiang. Don’t let anything slip later.”

Ma Yaozong has been with Magistrate Ma since he was a child. Magistrate Ma carefully trained his eldest grandson and often asked him to run errands. Therefore, Ma Yaozong's ability to observe words and emotions is first-rate, and he is extremely smart and thoughtful among teenagers of the same age.

For some reason, Ma Yaozong was much more clumsy than usual today, and he responded a little awkwardly: "To call her this way is too rude to the princess and Chen Sheren."

Jiang Shaohua answered with a smile: "It doesn't matter, just call it that!"

Ma Yaozong calmed down and changed his words: "Yes, Miss Jiang and Miss Chen, there are people coming and going in the tooth shop, and there are people from all walks of life. If the two girls hear anything vulgar, just pretend they don't hear it."

After entering Yahang, people immediately recognized Mr. Ma Yaozong and made way for him. Several people in the Yazi shop even left their respective customers and came forward to say hello.

Jiang Shaohua and Chen Jinyu also attracted a lot of attention because of their youth and outstanding appearance. However, for them, what is more important is to serve and flatter the good Ma family master.

Magistrate Ma has served as magistrate for more than 20 years. The people of Biyang County have no idea who the emperor is, and they have never seen the majesty of King Nanyang. In their eyes, Magistrate Ma is the sky above their heads.

Ma Yaozong is the grandson of the Ma family and the unofficial future head of the Ma family. His status in Biyang County is similar to that of the prince in the palace. Wherever he goes, everyone follows him.

Jiang Shaohua watched this scene and his smile faded slightly.

Chen Jinyu leaned into Jiang Shaohua's ear and whispered: "Master Ma is so majestic!"

This Biyang County is almost becoming Majia County.

Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed slightly.

In such an occasion, it is naturally inconvenient to say anything.

Ma Yaozong, who was surrounded by everyone, was also a little anxious. He was here to lead the way for the princess. Now that he is taking over the guests and taking the lead, the princess must be unhappy.

Ma Yaozong said with a serious face: "You are busy with your business. I am just here to take a leisurely stroll today. You don't need to follow me."

Several people stepped back in disbelief.

Ma Yaozong got free, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Jiang Shaohua and said, "Miss Jiang, please follow me inside."

Jiang Shaohua responded with a smile.

When everyone saw this movement, their hearts beat a little drum. Mr. Ma is usually so proud, but today he bows his head like this, which shows that Miss Jiang has an extraordinary background... The young and beautiful Miss Jiang is not really eye-catching in what she wears, but when she stands there, she is like a pearl, her brilliance cannot be concealed.

Even if they didn't think of the princess for a moment, everyone didn't dare to be rude anymore and retreated silently.

Jiang Shaohua stepped into the back hall.

It is indeed much quieter here than before.

A man in his thirties hurried over and greeted the distinguished guest with a smile on his face: "It's a coincidence that Mr. Ma and the two girls are here today. A batch of new goods has just arrived."

The "new goods" in Ren Yazi's words are actually people from the nomadic tribes outside the pass. Rouran Khitan and other dozens of ethnic groups are all foreigners in Ren Yazi's words.
