"Hush!"

A carriage stopped, and the surroundings were dark and there was no one around.

"Master, why did you stop?" asked Grandma Zhang.

After a few days of getting along, Sun Chunxu got along very well with Aunt Zhang and the former maid Li Xiran, who was holding the child along the way.

"Mother Zhang, we are in Tongzhou now." Sun Chunxu replied.

Grandma Zhang opened the car curtain and saw a dark place with no one around.

"Master, it's getting so late, what are your plans?" asked Nanny Zhang.

After hearing this, Sun Chunxu looked up at the closed city gate, then looked at the day, and replied: "Aunt Zhang, it's getting late and the city gate has been closed. It seems that we have to endure the grievances for one more night tonight. Tomorrow morning we will go to the city to buy some food. Do you think it is okay? "

"Okay. It's wrong for the young master to be outside in the cold wind again." Grandma Zhang said.

"It's okay. I'm thick-skinned, so I can't bear any trouble." Sun Chunxu said with a smile.

Sun Chunxu tonight seems to be very different from before. Now with his half-bundled hair and that handsome face, he seems to be about to become a young hero.

Li Xiran, who was holding the child in the car, seemed to have begun to like this kind of life without being criticized or criticized by others. Hearing what the young master said, his lips raised slightly.

Soon, Nanny Zhang had noticed Li Xiran's movements.

The considerate Nanny Zhang did not scold Li Xiran. After all, she was also a slave and knew what it felt like.

"This child is so good." Nanny Zhang smiled and looked at Chen Ziyuan, who was sleeping soundly.

"Nanny Zhang, how long do I have to feed this child?" Li Xiran looked at Nanny Zhang with a smile on her face.

Looking at Li Xiran's innocent and ignorant smile, Grandma Zhang smiled together: "From today on, you will be the mother of this child. As long as these eight months pass, you can stop feeding him."

"What? Mother? No, no, no, Granny Zhang, this...I...I can't do it." Li Xiran declined.

"It's okay, you are too worried. This child is the child of the young lady, and now the young lady is no longer here. In our No. 3 Middle School, you are a girl and a young one. Who should you be? Besides, haven't you always thought Live a life where you make your own choices without being guided by others, that’s how it will be from now on.”

Under the persuasion of Granny Zhang, Li Xiran had no choice but to stop refuting and gradually accepted the child.

"Master!" Nanny Zhang shouted.

"Mommy, tell me."

"Early tomorrow morning, go to the city to buy some supplements for Xi Ran, and some other necessary things. Leave the city as soon as possible, choose a piece of land, and live a leisurely life for the four of us." Grandma Zhang ordered.

"Okay. Aunt Zhang, I understand."

Listening to the conversation between Nanny Zhang and the young master, Li Xiran felt happy again.

The sound of cold wind and the sound of peace all night soon came to the morning of the next day.

Early in the morning, after Sun Chunxu woke up, he carefully drove the carriage to Tongzhou City.

Since Granny Zhang and Li Xiran were women, and the journey was quite difficult, Chunxu did not wake them up, but continued driving towards the city.

Sun Chunxu, who thought he could keep driving for a while, was startled by the loud crying.

Chen Ziyuan's crying soon woke up Li Xiran and Grandma Zhang.

"Xi Ran, is the child hungry?" Nanny Zhang asked.

Li Xiran looked at the crying baby, then lifted up his clothes and fed the baby.

Nanny Zhang, who had just woken up, felt the carriage moving and couldn't help but open the curtain.

As soon as the car curtain was lifted, Grandma Zhang seemed to fall in love with the city immediately. She pursed her lips and continued to look.

The street seems to be the same as the capital, but it seems different from the capital.

Since Tongzhou has no sea and many mountains, most of the stalls here are wooden products such as masked figures. However, unlike the capital, it is not as prosperous as the capital.

"Master, where are we going?" Nanny Zhang asked with a smile on her face.

Chunxu said while driving his horse: "First go buy some supplements for Xi Ran, and then stock up on some goods."

Since it was the first time for them to come here and they were not very familiar with each other, Chunxu hurriedly called to stop the horse.

"Hush!"

The horse yelled and stopped in front of an inn.

Chunxu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and looked up happily at the name of the inn - Tongzhou Inn.

"Nanny Zhang, Xi Ran, let's go have a meal first." Chunxu asked happily.

Nanny Zhang opened the curtains, said yes, and came down together with Li Xiran.

"Come on, be careful." Chunxu hurriedly supported Li Xiran who was holding the child.

At this time, the child seemed to be full and no longer noisy.

As soon as a few people got off the carriage, the waiter from the store hurriedly came over to greet them: "Sir, please come inside."

"Hey, okay." Chunxu happily stepped into the threshold.

Sun Chunxu looked at the store where there were almost no people, and instantly became interested: "Why are there not many people here?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper with a thick beard at the counter said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know. This is Tongzhou, which is sparsely populated."

After speaking, the boss looked at these people from beginning to end and said, "Are you from the capital? Your accent doesn't sound like locals."

Chunxu smiled slightly and nodded in agreement.

"Okay. Please come in and tell me what you want to eat." The shopkeeper looked at the waiter out of the corner of his eye.

"good."

Chunxu found an empty seat and sat down.

"Guests, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked.

"What kind of food do you have here?" Chunxu asked.

"There are fried rice noodles, shrimp, fish and tofu, and there are many more. Which ones do you guests want to eat?" the waiter said with a smile.

When she heard about the rotten pot, Grandma Zhang was shocked: "Bad pot? How can you use a rotten pot?"

After hearing this, the waiter smiled slightly and explained patiently: "Bad pot is a recipe made in Chuchuan. Our shopkeeper went to Chuchuan a few years ago and brought back good craftsmanship. Now we open a shop here. It's probably : Knock off the pot and sides of the pot, so that the fried noodles will taste better."

After hearing this, Grandma Zhang swallowed her saliva and couldn't wait.

"Bring in all the specialties you have here." Sun Chunxu said boldly.

"Okay, some guests will wait a moment."

Seeing the young master spending so much money, Grandma Zhang felt a little distressed. She looked at the young master and said, "Young master, we are here for the first time. If you are like this, how can you have money in the future?"

"It's okay, mama. We are here for the first time, so it's good to try some delicacies that are not available in the capital. Besides, you have worked in the Sun Mansion for many years, and you haven't been able to eat these delicacies yet. It's okay."

After saying that, Sun Chunxu looked at the child in Xi Ran's arms, touched his little face, and said with a smile: "It's so good and cute."

After eating and drinking, the three of them went to buy various clothes and goods, and soon the carriage was almost full.

"Mommy, Xi Ran, can you sit down like this?" Sun Chunxu asked while arranging the carriage.

"It's okay, I can sit down." Li Xiran replied.

"That's good."

After straightening the front of the carriage, Sun Chunxu quickly jumped on the carriage and began his life in the world.

"drive!"

After hearing the call, the horse quickened its pace and rushed out of the city gate.

Driving far outside the city, Sun Chunxu discovered a good place.

There are overgrown weeds here. The road is no longer visible. It is completely covered by weeds. There is a bush around and there is not a soul.

The carriage couldn't get in. In an emergency, Sun Chunxu could only unload the carriage and use horses to transport the goods to the secluded place.

"Mommy, Xi Ran, you can stay here. I'll explore the way and find a suitable place."

"Okay. Be more careful." Grandma said.

Chunxu immediately took the hatchet and slashed into the jungle, quickly cutting a path.

As he chopped, the sky became darker, but it stopped raining. Fortunately, Chunxu finally found a suitable place.

This place is surrounded by several mountains, and there is a big pit in the middle. If it is the rainy season, it will be filled with water. It is a good place.

After finding the place, Chunxu immediately went back. After informing his grandmother and Li Xiran, he moved all the goods inside, prepared a place to live, and began to live in seclusion.
