The snowy day did affect the journey, and Xu Ning finally had to take the official road.

I don’t know if it’s because the Chinese New Year is approaching, but there are so many people and carriages on the official road.

Combined with the carriages and people walking on them, the official road became extremely muddy after the snow melted.

Xu Ning was wearing warm clothes and a down jacket inside, and a layer of cotton clothes of the Daqing Dynasty style that was very popular on the outside. He wore a hat with a cotton outer layer and a rabbit fur inner layer on his head. Except for a pair of eyes, nothing was exposed on his body. From a distance, he looked like a fat penguin.

There were people walking in all directions on the official road. A kind-hearted coachman saw Xu Ning walking unsteadily, so he stopped the carriage and called out to Xu Ning.

"Little girl, get on the carriage. I'm going to Porcelain Town on my way." The uncle who spoke had a beard, big and bright eyes, thick and long eyebrows, and a square face. At this time, his face was red from the cold, and there was snow on his eyebrows and beard.

"Uncle, how did you know I was a girl?" She was wrapped so tightly, how did the uncle recognize her?

The uncle chuckled and replied, "Hey! I have a girl at home who is about your age. In winter, she walks just like you, hopping and skipping, for fear of getting her clothes dirty."

"Huh?" Xu Ning didn't expect this.

Hearing this, Xu Ning couldn't help laughing out loud: "So that's how it is..." His gender was revealed because of this action.

Then the uncle continued, "And your eyes are very bright. Usually only girls have such a pair of smart eyes." The uncle has traveled all over the country, and his eyesight has been trained long ago.

Not only that, this experienced uncle also saw that Xu Ning was skilled in martial arts and was a trained martial artist! This was the conclusion he came to after observing Xu Ning for a while.

At this moment, Xu Ning was carefully observing the middle-aged man in front of him. His face was well-defined and righteous, and he asked curiously, "Uncle, how did you know I was going to Porcelain City?"

The uncle laughed heartily and introduced himself, "Haha, little girl, my last name is Qiu Ming, and I happen to be a native of Cidu Town. This road leads to the nearest place, Cidu Town. Come on, little girl, get in the car quickly. Girls shouldn't be out in the cold for too long, it's not good for your health."

After saying that, he reached out and gently patted the empty seat next to him.

Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't refuse. She nodded lightly and climbed onto the carriage nimbly. Uncle Qiu didn't let her sit in the front of the carriage, but let her go into the carriage.

After she sat down, she realized that although the interior of the carriage was not large, it was filled with more than half of various items, and there was just a small space left for her to sit down.

She looked carefully and found that most of the things in the car were thick and warm quilts and various New Year's goods. She thought that Uncle Qiu must have just finished his business in another place and bought some New Year's goods, and was rushing home.

Seeing this, Xu Ning pondered inwardly and then took the initiative to chat with Qiu Ming: "Uncle, my name is Xu Ning. I'm out for a trip and passed by Porcelain City Town on the way."

Sitting in the carriage, Xu Ning, who had nothing to do, simply started chatting with Qiu Ming.

"How dare you, a girl, be so bold as to go out and play alone? Does your family know about this? Did you have a fight with them?"

"My family knows."

"Then your family didn't come to see you?" Uncle Qiu must have been wearing a mask or something, and his voice became muffled.

"I was smart enough not to let them look for it."

"It seems that you, little girl, are quite capable. Otherwise, ordinary families would not be able to be so assured." Uncle Qiu couldn't help but admire.

"Well... maybe you can put it that way. Uncle Qiu, I wonder if there are any special activities during the New Year in this Porcelain Capital Town?" The weather was too cold, and Xu Ning was a little lazy to travel, so he asked Qiu Ming curiously.

"Hehe, Ning girl, you really asked the right person! Our Porcelain Town does have unique programs! Have you ever heard of the kiln god sacrifice?" Uncle Qiu said excitedly.

Xu Ning shook his head. "I've heard of offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, but this is the first time I've heard of offering sacrifices to the Kiln God."

"Haha, actually the two are quite similar, except that the worship of the Kiln God is more lively than the worship of the Kitchen God! However, the most fun thing is the intoxicating porcelain music performance, which is much more interesting than the worship of the Kiln God! My little girl's favorite thing every year is the porcelain music performance." Uncle Qiu became more and more excited as he spoke, because he also grew up watching porcelain music performances.

"It's so interesting. I'll have to stay and take a look." Xu Ning took over and said.

"Then just follow me home. This porcelain music performance has to be led by a local. Outsiders have to pay to participate."

"Hahahahaha, it's Chinese New Year, there shouldn't be so many outsiders in Porcelain City Town."

"Isn't it? So outsiders who want to join in the fun have to pay, otherwise who will spend the New Year with you?"

Xu Ning laughed heartily at the sight, and could not help but recall the time she spent celebrating Chinese New Year with the Xu family. Every year, the Xu family's New Year celebrations were always tidy and organized, very different from her old home.

"Uncle, I'm not used to staying in other people's homes. Can I just stay at the inn in town and wait for you?"

"That's all right, I'll bring my girl over to play with you early then!" Qiu Ming agreed naturally. After all, they were still strangers they had just met, and being too enthusiastic would make it seem like he had ulterior motives.

Fortunately, the girl didn't agree directly, otherwise he would have wondered if he had been tricked.

But it was true that he liked this girl at first sight. Otherwise, why would he only pick up her when there were so many people going the same way?

After all, Xu Ning was not a real little girl. When she arrived at Cidu Town, Xu Ning quickly bought some food on the street and gave it to Qiu Ming to take back.

Qiu Ming did not refuse. There is a give and take. He accepted it this time and would bring something else for the little girl next time. The little girl would not refuse.

Finally, Qiu Ming introduced Xu Ning to an inn he was familiar with. The innkeeper gave Xu Ning some discounts for Qiu Ming's sake.

Xu Ning was very satisfied. A few days before the Chinese New Year, she settled down in the Porcelain Capital.

During the day, when Qiu Ming has time, he will bring his daughter, who looks very clever, to play with Xu Ning.

Like his father, Qiu Tingting fell in love with Xu Ning at first sight.

With Qiu Tingting, this lively girl, Xu Ning has no time to rest during the day. Every day he is either taken to see porcelain or to eat delicious food.

At night, after washing up and getting into bed, Xu Ning would wonder what was going on at the Xu family.

Xu Ning did not turn on the drone over there to check, but asked about the treasure chest and learned that everything was normal in the Xu family. She wrote a letter back to the valley to inform the Xu family that she was spending the New Year in Porcelain City Town, and by the way, she also put some exquisite porcelain in the treasure chest as a New Year's gift for everyone in the Xu family.

When the Xu family discovered and received the New Year's gifts, it was already New Year's Eve. In the afternoon, Xu Ning was dragged by Qiu Tingting to watch the worship ceremony for the kiln god.
