Huaicheng.
The back house of the magistrate.
"Madam, I asked around in Nanguan Town and found out that the little girl from Shenshu Village is indeed as rumored..."
Aunt Qian told the prefect's wife what she had learned about Xiao Fuyuan in Nanguan Town.
"Li Fu went to Shenshu Village and saw her. She said she has very delicate features and is a pretty little girl." Grandma Qian said.
"I didn't expect that such a child would be born in that remote country. It's not an insult to be a member of the Shen family." The prefect's wife said.
Aunt Qian was a little confused as to why the wife of the magistrate, as the first lady in the officialdom of Huaicheng, was willing to be driven by Mrs. Ru of the Shen family to be a matchmaker for the sick young master of the Shen family.
No matter how much money the Shen Mansion has, it is still a merchant.
The magistrate's wife glanced around and saw what Nanny Qian was thinking.
"There are some things you shouldn't think about," the prefect's wife reminded.
"Yes, madam." Aunt Qian said respectfully.
The prefect's wife also felt that Mrs. Ru was a concubine, not even worthy of carrying her own shoes. But Mrs. Ru is not an ordinary concubine, she is the niece of the old lady of the current Zhenguo Palace, and the entire Zhenguo Palace stands behind her.
Her husband's husband was able to become the prefect of Huaicheng, thanks to the blessing of the Zhenguo Duke's office.
In other words, she and Mrs. Ru are on the same vine.
What's more, her father-in-law ordered her to facilitate this marriage and let the lucky girl of Shenshu Village marry the legitimate son of the Shen family.
"By the way, ma'am, that little girl is the village head now..." Aunt Qian said cautiously.
"The village owner is just a false name." Mrs. Ru said.
The village owner is not a princess, who would recognize her except Yangfeng County?
Sacred tree village.
"Brother A Zhen, I'm going to Huaicheng tomorrow. I'll bring you whatever fun things you want." Xiao Fuyuan came to the mansion opposite and said to A Zhen.
A Zhen asked her: "What are you doing in Huaicheng?"
Xiao Fuyuan said: "I'm going to be a guest at Sister Aheng's grandfather's house."
When A Zhen heard about Feng Zhiheng, he was like a cat that stepped on charcoal and said, "What's so fun about that?"
Xiao Fuyuan said: "It's definitely more lively and fun than Yangfeng County."
A Zhen said: "I don't want you to bring fun things. Just eat and drink well when you get there."
Xiao Fuyuan nodded, thought for a while and said, "Sister Ah Heng said that her grandmother is from Suzhou, and the Suzhou-style snacks made by the cook at home are delicious. I will ask for some for you later."
Ah Zhen shook his head like a rattle: "No, I don't like Soviet-style dim sum."
"Oh well."
After Xiao Fuyuan left, A Zhen called Wu Xiaoying and said, "Send a few more people to Huaicheng with the Bai family."
Wu Xiaoying: "Yes!"
It's already very hot in June.
On the day of going to Huaicheng, the Bai family got up early in order to rush before the sun came up when it was not so hot.
Little Fuyuan was woken up before she could fully wake up. She let her three sisters-in-law and Qiuniang dress her up with her sleepy eyes.
After putting on new clothes, washing her face and applying perfume, Zhen carried her into the car.
All the female relatives of the Bai family, except Qiuniang, set out collectively to Huaicheng.
Originally, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen asked Qiuniang to go with them, but Huaicheng was the place where Qiuniang fell into prostitution, so she naturally didn't want to go, so Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen didn't force her.
Bai Sanzhuang hitched up his own carriage, followed by a carriage filled with gauze. He planned to send his sister and other female family members to the Zhou family first, and then he went to deliver the gauze to the place where Grandma Sun met.
When Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen saw the carriage full of yarn, they did not ask where Bai Sanzhuang had sent it because they knew they didn't understand business and never interfered with Bai Sanzhuang's business affairs.
If Mrs. Bai and Zhen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that Bai Sanzhuang was going to the Shen family to deliver Qingrong gauze, they would naturally stop it.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Xiao Fuyuan finally woke up. The carriage had already gone a little half way.
Little Fuyuan got down from Zhen's arms, sat on the side of the carriage, and opened the curtain.
This can be considered a true journey into this world.
Everything is so fresh and my mood is so exciting.
The carriage traveled for a whole day and did not enter Huaicheng until evening.
Except for Zhen and Tian Maimiao, Xiao Fuyuan and Mrs. Bai were all visiting Huaicheng for the first time.
Xiaofu looked out curiously.
Huaicheng deserves to be called a capital city. There are many restaurants and teahouses. Even in the evening, the streets are still bustling with people.
"Mom, Huaicheng is so big and lively." Xie Chuntao sighed to Zhen.
"Yes, this road seems to have no end." Yu Jingui took over Xie Chuntao's words. The carriage had been walking on this road for a long time and had not seen the end.
"This is Fucheng after all." Zhen said with a faint smile.
Xiao Fuyuan had an instinctive feeling that Zhen was a little nervous when she entered the boundary of Huaicheng.
"Mom." Xiao Fuyuan leaned in Zhen's arms obediently.
As the carriage passed by a small alley, Zhen's heart suddenly lifted.
When Zhen and Bai Banban left the Shen family, they rented in that alley. Little Fuyuan was thrown into the snow at the door on a snowy winter night.
Mrs. Zhen touched Xiao Fuyuan's head.
"Does my sister like Huaicheng?" Tian Maimiao asked with a smile.
"I like it." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"After attending Mrs. Zhou's birthday, my third sister-in-law will take you for a nice walk, okay?" Tian Maimiao said.
"Okay." Xiao Fuyuan nodded.
"Nai, let's go shopping with our third younger sister when the time comes. I heard from my third sister that there is a jewelry shop in Huaicheng that sells jewelry learned from those in Jingcheng. Then we will also give my sister a pair," said Eugene Gui. .
Eugene Gui is now well-behaved. He wants to go shopping but dare not say so, so he uses the little Fuyuan as an excuse.
"Okay." Old Mrs. Bai answered simply.
Eugene Guimei was overjoyed.
"If you are really serious, you can give your sister a set of jewelry when the time comes." Old Mrs. Bai said.
When Yu Jingui was asked to pay, Yu Jingui was so frightened that she shut up. She didn't have that much private money.
However, Xie Chuntao showed off her sister-in-law's style: "Let's give my sister a few more sets of gold to preserve its value."
Tian Maimiao looked at the shops on both sides of the street and said, "My fourth brother and Erlang are studying in Huaishui Academy. We might as well buy a house in Huaicheng."
Mrs. Bai had a different opinion and said: "This matter is not urgent."
The carriage covered almost half of Huai City until the sun was about to set, when it stopped in front of a large house.
Xiao Fuyuan opened the curtain and saw two stone lions on both sides of the vermilion door, with a "Zhou Mansion" plaque hanging on the high door.
Xiao Fuyuan knew that this was the Zhou family of Feng Zhiheng's maternal ancestors.
Bai Sanzhuang took the post and went to knock on the door.
The door opened, and first a maid in green ran out and said with a smile: "Little Yuanbao is here. The old lady and madam have been thinking about her."
Xiao Fuyuan took a closer look and saw that it was Lihua Hua, the maid next to Mrs. Zhongjing Houfu.
Then there was a commotion inside, and Feng Zhiheng ran out and shouted: "My sister is here!"
