Fifteen minutes later, Su Xiaoxiao embarked on their journey to Fucheng. 

With the addition of one adult and three children, a single carriage was clearly insufficient. 

Liu Ping drove the donkey cart to take them to the town.

The children preferred the donkey cart, as it was their own donkey and the open cart felt more exciting! 

They wanted to sit with their mother! 

Thus, Su Xiaoxiao was also pulled onto the donkey cart. 

The family of five was fully seated, Liu Ping was squeezed out from the cart and forced into the carriage.  

With the kicks of the donkey’s hooves, they are moving forward! 

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the rapidly departing donkey and doubted his eyesight, “Wait, the one you bought is a donkey, right?”

Why does it run faster than his horse?

Upon reaching the town, Su Xiaoxiao found a carriage dealer and hired another carriage. 

Wei Ting saw that there was only the carriage and no driver, so he asked, “Where’s the driver?” 

“He is so far away, and yet he’s right in front of us.” Su Xiaoxiao said, while handing Wei Ting a whip.

Lord Wei Ting: “……” 

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, “Hiring a driver costs money, and it’s not cheap. It’s 80 copper coins a day, and we have to include food and accommodation. If we can save some, then let’s save some! Isn’t that right, Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu?” 

The three children nodded enthusiastically. 

Xiaohu clenched his fists and said, “Save money!” 

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow at Wei Ting, “You seem to know a lot about horses. Surely you also can drive a carriage, right?” 

Look, she even provoked him. 

What could Wei Ting say? 

If he had known it would be like this, it might be better for him to sell cakes on the street. 

With Wei Ting’s exceptionally handsome face driving the carriage through the city, 

They would gain more exposure than selling the cakes. 

Thus, after gaining the name of the pastry-selling handsome man, the town of Xinghua now had its own ‘carriage-driving beauty’.

The carriage left Xinghua Town and drove onto the official road leading to the city, with endless rice fields on both sides of the road.

There was still half a month before planting rice. Currently, the rice fields are bare and barren, like a vast desert.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing much to see, but the three children kept pressing their little heads against the carriage window. 

 “Mom, wat is dat*?” 

*the child couldn’t speak clearly. 

 “Wild grass.” 

 “And that?” 

”White birch tree.” 

-White birch tree 

“White birch tree…”

“The one next to it isn’t a white birch tree, it’s a camphor tree.” 

-Camphor tree 

Xiaohu, who talked the most, asked questions nonstop. 

Occasionally, Dahu and Erhu would also ask a few questions, and Su Xiaoxiao patiently answered.

Wei Ting snorted lightly, continuing to act as the driver for them.

The children, who had been energized when they set out in the morning, were now exhausted by the afternoon, drooping with yawns.

“Tired?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. 

The three children shook their heads, “Not tired.” 

And the next second, they were asleep, leaning in all directions.

After a day of traveling, they arrived at Fucheng by dusk.

This time, they wouldn’t stay at Yuelai Inn. 

Shopkeeper Sun lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “The place for ancestor worship is at Mountain Banyue. Let’s go another seven or eight miles east, there’s an inn there, right near Mountain Banyue.” 

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Isn’t that close to Abbess Huijue‘s temple?”

Shopkeeper Sun said, “Yes, it’s much closer than Yuelai Inn. Are you going to visit Abbess Huijuetai too?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. 

Not to mention that Aunt Fu asked her to bring something. And even if she didn’t, she also had agreed to Abbess Huijue last time that if she came to Fucheng again, she would go to the temple to sit with her.

“Are you going there tonight?” Shopkeeper Sun asked. 

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dark sky and said, “No, it’s too late today. Let’s wait until we finish our business first.” 

Shopkeeper Sun agreed, “Alright.” 

They should focus on business first and visit the sights later. 

Since she brought the three children, they should explore Fucheng properly. 

It wasn’t easy for children to come here.

The inn they checked into was called Mountain Banyue Inn. 

Compared to Yuelai Inn, it was a bit less comfortable, not because Shopkeeper Sun was trying to save money, but because this was the only inn nearby.

Moreover, due to the ancestral worship of this large family, the rooms were already full. 

“Not… not even a single room left?” Shopkeeper Sun asked.

The innkeeper glanced at him, then glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, sizing her up before asking, “Are you Miss Su?”

“I am.” Su Xiaoxiao replied, “Do you know me?”
