When the carriage stopped at the gate of the government office, the people who had followed it all the way chose a suitable position to watch the excitement.
Xiao Yunchen and Xiao Yunyu exchanged a few words with the prefect, and the carriage was allowed to drive into the inner residence of the government office.
Along with all their horses and the captured bandits.
When the two best friends got off the carriage, the prefect's wife greeted them warmly.
The magistrate's wife was not tall, with delicate features. If it weren't for the vicissitudes of a middle-aged woman on her face, the two would even have thought she was a young girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage.
"Madam, you two have traveled all the way from the capital to Yicheng. It must have been hard on your journey, right?"
Li Sisi smiled and responded: "It's okay. We took some breaks along the way, so it wasn't too hard."
The prefect's wife led the way and said, "That's very hard work. It's difficult for me to climb over a mountain to return to my parents' home, let alone you guys who have traveled nearly a thousand miles."
Li Sisi: "Almost, but it's worth it. The scenery and climate of your Yicheng are really lovely!"

Li Nian nodded slightly: "Thank you."
As soon as the prefect's wife left, Li Sisi immediately started chattering excitedly.
"Wow, I didn't expect that we could live in a wooden house made entirely of wood!" She jumped up the stairs happily and opened the door of the wooden house.
"It's very clean inside, and everything is available." Li Sisi glanced around the room, then turned to look at Li Nian. "This place is very close to Nanyue, right? I wonder what Nanyue is like? Maybe they also live in wooden houses, with all kinds of flowers blooming in the yard?"
Seeing that Li Sisi had already started to daydream, Li Nian smiled and curved her eyes: "It seems that they live in a wooden house, and A Yu said there is a stream passing by the door, and there is a hot spring resort at the foot of the mountain."
Li Sisi's eyes were almost starry from what she heard.
"I'm so anxious! I really want to go to Nanyue as soon as possible!"
