When Chunxiao woke up, she found that her family was about to change drastically. Her husband, who had just passed the imperial examination as a Xiucai, wanted to demote her from wife to concubine ...
The carriage left on the 19th and arrived in Wei County on the 23rd. That evening, she and Xiaohua went to several clothing stores and bought more than 20 sets of winter clothes. Each family member had two sets, spending about 70 or 80 taels of silver. Xiaohua was amazed by the purchase. So many clothes could buy a whole house. She was the one who suggested buying clothes, but she didn't say anything so crazy. She even had a set of clothes herself.
"Miss, you bought so much at once that there's not enough space in the carriage."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, but winter clothes are thick, so it's inevitable that they take up space. Oh, I just don't know if I can get home tomorrow afternoon. I hope nothing unexpected happens on the way."
"Don't worry, we'll definitely make it." Xiaohua was becoming more and more adept at driving the car. "Miss, I guess your family must have thought you wouldn't make it back. Let's give them a surprise."
"I'm still surprised. My mother will probably scold me to death for not coming back until the last day and not being able to help at all. But they must have made preparations a long time ago. I also want to go back quickly. Everyone in the village should have returned by now. My father and eldest brother will definitely be hosting a banquet for the whole village. It will definitely be a lively occasion."
"I want to see it too. When I got married, I was just covered with a veil and carried by my eldest brother. No one in the village attended the wedding banquet. Other weddings in our village were not very lively either. It will definitely be lively this time with Shufeng."
Thinking of that scene, their minds flew away. Around noon the next day, they finally arrived in Zuoyuan County.
"Let's not look for a place to eat at noon. Let's go to the roadside and buy some buns and eat them while walking."
Xiaohua went to buy a bag of buns and handed them to Chunxiao, and stuffed one into her mouth. "Then please sit down, miss, I need to hurry." It would take about three and a half hours for the carriage to get from here to the village, and even if it went faster, it would still take three hours. It would be time for dinner when they got back.
Chunxiao looked at the things in the carriage and thought that they would be home soon. She was so happy that she couldn't sit still. She asked Xiaohua to stop the car and sat in the driver's seat, driving the car with Xiaohua on both sides.
"Miss, please wrap your hood and coat tightly. It's very windy when you're driving. I heard it snowed here a while ago."
"It's good that it snowed. I'm glad it snowed. If it snowed again, I really wouldn't be able to make it. I finally made it on the last day."
