Chapter 165: Preparing for the New Year

The carriage was moving very fast, and Qin Chuchu and the others had a lot of fun in it, and they didn't leave until the big market.

"Princess, there are so many people here."

Linglong looked at the dense crowds of people on the street with a look of surprise on her face.

I thought that having so many people at home was enough.

But it's nothing compared to the people on the street, who are crowded together and wearing all kinds of clothes.

Seeing the surprise in the little girl's eyes, Qin Chuchu made a gesture to silence her.

"Shh, don't call me princess. If someone hears, I'll be in trouble. Just call me sister."

"Oh, okay!" The little girl nodded seriously.

Just as the two were about to jump off the carriage, Qin Chuchu was grabbed by the man and the dog-skin hat was violently put on her head.

“…………”Qin Chuchu.

She touched her head and glared at the man with a bad look, but still straightened her hat obediently.

Not only that, but like last time, she wrapped herself tightly with a scarf.

I have to admit that I feel really safe after getting dressed like this.

Just as he was about to jump off the carriage, he climbed back on after seeing the scarf on Linglong's head.

He took out a dog-skin hat from the cupboard and put it on her head.

Just like me, it was wrapped in a scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

The two of them jumped off the carriage. Linglong touched her head which was tangled like a pig's head and smiled with her eyes curved.

"Wang, sister, this hat is so warm!"

No wonder the princess always carries it with her when she goes out. It’s so furry and warm.

"Of course!" Qin Chuchu smiled proudly and was about to lead Linglong into the market when she heard a familiar child's voice.

"Tanghulu! Selling Tanghulu!"

“…………” She turned around.

She saw that it was the little boy she had sponsored. He was still wearing the cotton-padded jacket she had bought for him and carrying a pole full of candied haws.

"There are quite a lot of candied haws today!"

Coming closer, she pointed to the pole full of candied haws.

When I saw him before, there weren't many roots on the pole, not as full as it is today.

Seeing Qin Chuchu, the little boy's eyes lit up.

"Madam!" His tone was also very cordial, as if it was a relative who had not seen each other for a long time.

If it weren't for this lady in front of him, his mother's illness wouldn't have been cured, and their lives wouldn't be so good now.

"Yeah," Qin Chuchu reached out and pinched the little boy's face. He had gained weight after not seeing him for a few days.

And her little face looks much more delicate than usual. Although the weather is getting colder, the frostbite seems to have eased a lot.

It must be because of the frostbite cream, it’s obvious that life is much better now.

"How is your mother's illness?"

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. My mother is now well."

"Oh, is there enough food at home?"

Qin Chuchu nodded. Although she asked this, she had already guessed it in her heart. Just looking at the flesh on the child's face, she thought that he could have eaten his fill.

"Enough food. Princess Chen gave us silver, two taels per person. There are eight people in our family, so we received sixteen kinds of silver!

Not only can I have enough to eat, but I can also eat dry food, and I have money to make more candied haws to sell!"

The little boy pointed happily at the candied haws on the pole.

In the past, my family had no money, so we could only get a dozen or twenty sticks at a time. We had to wait until we sold them to make money before we could buy more raw materials.

Unlike now, we can make a lot at a time, and the money we earn in one day is more than what we earned in the previous seven or eight days.

His mother's illness was cured, the family no longer lacked food, and life was getting better and better. He was sincerely grateful to the lady in front of him and the Princess Chen whom he had never met.

Looking at the hope in the little boy's eyes, Qin Chuchu couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

"Really? That's great! Give me another twenty strings of candied haws."

After saying that, he started to take out the money. He felt very happy in his heart. He felt more and more that the money was worth spending. It was even more enjoyable than eating hotpot.

After returning the candied haws to the carriage, the two of them went to the market hand in hand. Qin Chuchu had not walked far when she realized that she had forgotten to bring her hand muffler.

After looking at the carriage, he was too lazy to go back to get it, so he followed the others' example and put his hands into his sleeves.

It’s not cold now!

Feng Er and Feng San followed behind and looked at each other.

His princess really doesn't care about her image at all. Now she is standing with her hands behind her back and looking around. She really looks like those people who are purchasing goods.

Linglong was so excited. She had never been to such a lively place before, and her eyes were not enough to see everything.

He asked here and looked there, very excited.

They were originally heading towards the blacksmith shop, intending to inspect the tricycle first, but when they passed Boss Wan's rice shop, they stopped.

"Master, that carriage is coming again!"

A man dressed as a servant came up to Boss Wan and pointed in the direction of the market entrance while talking.

Perhaps because he was too excited, his voice was not small at all, so Qin Chuchu and the others could hear it clearly.

Looking at the direction the boy pointed, and then looking at Boss Wan in front of him, Qin Chuchu felt that they were talking about their own carriage.

He didn't leave, but stood in front of the rice bag, pretending to look at the rice, but his ears were perked up.

After hearing the servant's words, Boss Wan suddenly became alert.

"Have you seen that woman?"

As he spoke, he also pointed in the direction of the market entrance.

The last time we sent someone to rob that woman, there has been no news since then.

He also sent people to look for him, but there was no trace. Thinking back to how Manager Sun also disappeared in such a mysterious way, he had already guessed what was going on.

I guess it was dealt with by that woman, and it was done silently.

This is enough to prove that the woman is no ordinary person. She sent people to wait for so many days, and finally she came again.

As the chief minister of Chuxiong State, how could Shang Gu swallow this humiliation?

I thought that if I caught that woman today, I would definitely teach her a lesson.

"Master, as soon as I saw the carriage coming, I came back to tell you the news. Didn't you see who was in the carriage?"

"Useless! You can't even do such a small thing, why don't you just go and keep an eye on me!"

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

Seeing the boy running away happily, Qin Chuchu glanced at Feng Er and Feng San behind him.

His expression was the same as his, and he felt that they were talking about his own carriage.

"Zhao Er, hurry back and inform the prince."

Qin Chuchu lowered her voice, thinking of reporting to the King of Hell first so that she could be prepared in advance.

"Madam, don't worry. The prince has Feng Liu and Feng Qi with him. It's better for me to stay here."

Feng Er lowered his voice and glanced at Boss Wan opposite him while speaking.

These few small shrimps are not worth the master's effort. Feng Liu alone is enough.

As he was thinking about it, Qin Chuchu frowned.

"No, you should go back! It's no use staying here anyway!"

Even though the Living King of Hell's martial arts were powerful, he was now defeated by her!

I am usually very careful when walking, so how could I take action?

Anyway, this guy is useless and I won’t need him when inspecting the goods. I might as well go back and maybe he can help.

“…………” Feng Er’s mouth twitched.

He was being disliked!
