Chapter 248: The Years Are Quiet

The fact that Xixi was almost arrested was hidden from the outside, so as not to spread it and affect her reputation. The town is not big, and any abnormalities will cause suspicion in the eyes of others. Even if there is nothing, it can be made up by others. Besides, Zhuhua's group is already conspicuous, and there is a person who can't stay in the house suddenly stops leaving the house, and others can't help but think too much. I am afraid that outsiders will make up the more they make up the more outrageous they make, so they will spread it. When the matter is almost done, the group left the local area and went to Taihu Lake.

It was approaching Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was the time when Taihu crabs were fat. Among these people, a few young people didn’t like to eat crabs and thought it was troublesome to eat crabs, and only pearl flowers loved to eat them. Fortunately, there were other delicacies in the local area and the scenery was beautiful, so they had no complaints. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, King Ping took a boat to eat crabs and enjoyed the moon on the river, which also had a unique flavor.

This boat was specially prepared by the restaurant by the river for diners, and there were also children who specially dismantle crab meat for the guests. In the past, even if the servants were around, the adults would not allow them to be lazy, and no one would care about it outside. Since it was not troublesome, they all had a good meal. However, King Ping did not ask them to serve Zhuhua. The crab meat eaten by King Ping helped her peel it. The children were no longer surprised to see the children watching from the side, and the older generations exchanged glances. Who would like to watch their elders show their love in front of them?

Autumn goes and winter comes. When the grass and trees turn yellow, Huanhuan and others go back to Beijing first and ask them to take the Imperial College entrance examination at the end of the year. Xixi didn't want to go back, but she still asked Zhuhua to send it back. They also knew that it was cold now and there was nothing to play outside, but when they thought of going back to Beijing, they were still reluctant.

"If you don't go back to Chang'an obediently, I will send you to Liangzhou, and your mother is holding you with a stick."

When Zhuhua said this, they had to go back obediently. In fact, they didn't want to go back, even if she didn't want to go back, she didn't want to go back to Chang'an. After they left, Zhuhua rented a big mansion in an ordinary town, and even if she could only stay at home every day, she felt that being outside was more comfortable than being in Chang'an. King Ping knew what she was thinking, and did not mention words back to Chang'an.

It was snowing several times in the middle of winter. One day, when King Ping accompanied Zhuhua to read a book in the house, he said, "The snow is so heavy, the road to Chang'an may be blocked."

Zhuhua looked up at him, couldn't help but chuckled, and sighed with regret: "Then there is nothing we can do. We can't go back. I hope the elders won't blame him."

"How could it be? It's because the snow is too heavy."

In this way, they lived in this town until the snow melted after the New Year.

Even in the small town, it was lively during the New Year. Although the people living next to them didn’t know what Mr. Cheng, who had moved in, still asked his children to come to pay New Year’s greetings on the first day of the New Year. Zhuhua then remembered this custom. Fortunately, the more candies and snacks there were at home, he grabbed each of the children. When the children saw that this was better than what they had done in previous years, they were happy. Zhuhua took the opportunity to let Yuanyuan and Qijia go to play with them. Yuanyuan was a little reluctant, but later she thought about how to get the things for nothing, so she went. Every family didn’t dare to go alone, and only with her second sister dared to go.

After the first month of the year, every family and many children around him became familiar with each other, but unfortunately, they were about to leave as soon as the sky was warm. When he left, he was reluctant to leave them, so he gave them some small toys he bought from Jiangnan.

After leaving the remote town, they went straight to Liangzhou as soon as they left. Huanhuanlele knew that they were going to Liangzhou this year and couldn't get excited to make up for the lessons at the end of last year. As a result, they were only in the middle of the exam, so they could not go to Liangzhou anymore. They couldn't go, and Xixi couldn't go. Sun also wrote a letter to Zhuhua saying that she would keep Xixi to see others in Chang'an and didn't want her to run around anymore. Zhuhua also understood Sun's concerns. In fact, Xixi almost happened last time. She regretted it even though she thought about it, and she didn't want to bring these children who love to cause trouble.

The road to Liangzhou is different from when they went to Jiangnan. The more they walked, the more they were, the more desolate they were. Now, if they were walking, it seemed like winter was coming back. They still encountered several snows on the road. Fortunately, the snow was not there, so they could continue on the road after waiting for a few days. The spring snow melted faster than the winter snow and was gentler than the winter snow. It sprinkled on the trees that were appearing green buds, like white flowers.

Zhuhua likes spring snow quite a lot, and even thinks that rainy days in the north are better than sunny days. On sunny days, when the wind blows, dust on the road will come to her face, and even if she sits in the carriage, she will feel dust accumulated on her body.

Every family lost a tooth on the road, and he didn't panic. He remembered that he had seen his second sister missing several teeth and now they were growing. However, when the teeth just fell, a little blood was bleeding, which made him take the opportunity to stay in Zhuhua's arms for a while.

"It's also a spoiled person." Yuanyuan pretended to be an adult and shook her head helplessly.

Zhuhua laughed secretly when she saw it and said, "You didn't cry when you lost your teeth. But when you moved your teeth, you wanted to pull them off, for fear of swallowing them when you fell asleep at night."

As she said that, she looked at Tuantuan again, and Tuantuan turned her head guiltily and pretended to be reading seriously. At the beginning, Tuantuan cried so hard when she lost her teeth. Zhuhua rarely saw her eldest daughter crying like this, and deliberately said something unimportant to her to see how long she could cry. Ping Wang felt sorry for her daughter and immediately told her that the teeth would grow again. Zhuhua still remembers that Tuantuan stopped her tears and blushed in an instant. Tuantuan herself also remembers that she had not been embarrassed since she was a child, and she did not have many times to forget.

It was mid-April that the group finally arrived in Liangzhou. It has to be said that the city of Liangzhou is more lively and prosperous than the towns they saw along the way. There are many strangers in it. They followed the local merchants in a strange tone tone to price. When Zhuhua passed by, she felt that some people were more cruel than her.

After entering the city, they passed by a bustling street, and there were all kinds of goods sold. Some people were clearing the goods and putting the remaining items in piles, writing about how much they cost and not returning or changing them. Zhuhua was not resistant to such things, and Yuanyuan stood in front of them and couldn't move them away. This was really cheap. When she was in Jiangnan, she didn't buy anything, and she thought the things there were not novel enough. Some bamboo utensils were quite interesting, but the bamboo utensils were very large, so it was not convenient for her to buy them, unlike the small things she saw in front of the stall now.

"Sister may be waiting for us." King Ping reminded him on the side. Zhuhua thought about it and might find someone from the governor's mansion to help bargain for a better discount, so he left without looking back.
