With one adult and three children, one carriage obviously couldn't accommodate them all.

Liu Ping drove a donkey cart to take them to the town.

The three little ones like riding in the donkey cart. After all, they raise their own donkeys, so they have a special feeling for them. Also, the donkey cart is open, so it’s so cool to sit in it!

They want to sit with their mother!

Then Su Xiaoxiao was also dragged onto the donkey cart.

The family of five were all present and well, but Liu Ping was the one who was squeezed out and sat on the carriage.

The donkey kicked its hooves and flew away in a cloud of dust!

Shopkeeper Sun looked at the donkey running away and suspected that he was seeing things: "No, you bought a donkey, didn't you?"

How come it runs faster than his horse?

After arriving in town, Su Xiaoxiao found a carriage shop and hired another carriage.

Wei Ting saw that there was only a carriage but no driver, so he asked, "Where is the driver?"

"It's far away in the sky, yet it's right in front of you." Su Xiaoxiao said, and handed Wei Ting a horsewhip.

Lord Wei: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, "It costs money to hire a driver, and it's not cheap. It's eighty copper coins a day, and he has to provide food and accommodation. Let's save as much as we can! Right, Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu?"

The three little ones nodded.

Xiaohu clenched his fist and said, "We need to save money!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at someone: "I see that you know a lot about horses, so... you can't even drive a carriage, right?"

Look, even the method of provoking is used.

What could Wei Ting say? If I had known this earlier, I might as well have sold cakes on the street.

Wei Ting, with his handsome face that was so handsome that it enraged everyone, drove his carriage through the city.

This has much higher exposure than selling pancakes.

So, after the pancake man Xi Shi, Xinghua Town has another carriage man Zhaojun.

The carriage left Xinghua Town and drove onto the official road leading to the provincial capital. There were endless rice fields on both sides of the road.

There is still half a month before the planting time of early rice, and now the rice fields are bare and desolate like a desert.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing to see, but the three little ones squeezed their little heads in front of the car window one by one.

"Mom, is that a dirty touch?"

"weed."

"that!"

"Birch."

"Birch."

"The one next to it is not a birch tree, it is a camphor tree."

Xiaohu talked the most and asked questions all the way.

Occasionally Dahu and Erhu would ask a few questions, and Su Xiaoxiao was very patient.

Wei Ting snorted and continued to be the coachman for the adult and three children.

When the little ones went out in the morning, they were as energetic as chickens, but they were no longer able to move by the afternoon. They were listless and yawning one after another.

"Are you sleepy?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The three shook their heads: "Not sleepy."

The next second, he fell asleep in a daze.

After a day's long journey, they arrived at the city at dusk.

This time I’m not staying at Yuelai Inn.

Shopkeeper Sun lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Su Xiaoxiao in the carriage, "The place for ancestor worship is at Banyue Mountain. Let's go another seven or eight miles east. There is an inn there, near Banyue Mountain."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "It seems to be not far from the nunnery of Master Huijue?"

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Yes, it is much closer to the nunnery than Yuelai Inn. Are you going to visit Master Huijue this time as well?"

"Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded. Not to mention that Aunt Fu asked her to bring something, even if she didn't bring it, she had promised Master Huijue last time that if she came to the city again, she would go to the nunnery to sit with her.

"Are you going tonight?" asked Shopkeeper Sun.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dark sky and said, "No, it's too late today. Let's do it another day, after we finish our business."

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Okay."

Focus on your business first, and then go visit and travel after you are done.

Since I brought three little ones out, I have to take them for a good stroll around the city.

It is not easy for children to come out and see the world.

The inn they stayed in was called Half Moon Mountain Inn. Its conditions were a little worse than Yuelai Inn. It was not because Manager Sun wanted to save money this time, but because there was only one such inn nearby.

And because a large family wanted to worship their ancestors, the room was full.

"Are all the rooms gone?" asked Manager Sun.

The innkeeper looked up at him, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao beside him, looked her up and down, and asked, "Are you Miss Su?"

"I am." Su Xiaoxiao said, "Do you know me?"

The innkeeper smiled politely: "Master Huijue told me about you. You... are easy to recognize."

Why don't you just say I'm fat? The innkeeper said amiably, "The nun asked me to reserve four rooms for you. Do you think they are enough?"

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed: "Master Huijue knows that I am coming?"

She hasn't visited her yet!

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao turned to look at Shopkeeper Sun: "Where did you discuss your business?"

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Someone came to visit me. I told the guests at the Wang family's banquet where I live and left my name card."

Su Xiaoxiao finally understood that what was not said that Manager Sun had negotiated the deal himself was most likely introduced by Master Huijue.

She said that she had offended Li Futai, so how could anyone dare to support her? She thought that the person was from another place and didn't know anything. Now she thought that anyone who could get in touch with Master Huijue would not be afraid of Li Futai at all.

She would have to find an opportunity to thank Master Huijue later.

There are four rooms, one for Su Xiaoxiao and the three little ones, one for Wei Ting, one for Su Ergou and Xiao Wu, and one for Manager Sun.

Manager Sun was surprised that the young couple did not live in the same room.

But then I thought, the bed in the inn was not big, and with three children lying in the middle, it would be a bit too small for both of them to sleep.

Su Xiaoxiao has always been extremely rigorous and serious in her work. No matter whether it is a big client or not, or whether it was introduced by Master Huijue or not, she will do her best to deal with it.

"Shopkeeper Sun, it's me."

She knocked on Manager Sun's door.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Shopkeeper Sun opened the door for her.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I have a question for you. Did the family tell me what the taboos were regarding the sacrifices? For example, meat, lard, etc."

Shopkeeper Sun said, "I asked, and they said they didn't have any. Just make what you are good at."

The offerings are offered to the ancestors, but after the sacrifice, they will be distributed. These offerings are usually believed to be blessed by the ancestors, and after eating them, one can be blessed by the ancestors.

Su Xiaoxiao had a rough idea in her mind.

Shopkeeper Sun suddenly said, "What a coincidence! The family that asked us to make dim sum also has the surname Su."

Su Xiaoxiao returned to her room.

The three little ones opened their eyes wide and sat on the bed in high spirits.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyebrows jumped.

I slept for the whole afternoon...Are you guys...full of sleep?

Da Hu said, "Mom, I'm hungry."

Erhu said, "Eat chicken legs."

Xiaohu said, "Eat biscuits!"

Su Xiaoxiao ruthlessly refused: "You can't eat the cake."

Xiaohu feels aggrieved, but he doesn't say anything.

The three of them slept all day long, and if they woke up at this hour, they would not fall asleep again until the second half of the night.

There is a small market about a mile away. When I passed by just now, it was very lively there.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, then went next door to call Su Ergou, Xiao Wu, and Wei Ting, and went to the market together.

Shopkeeper Sun decided not to go because his old bones could not keep up with the physical strength of the young people.

Xiao Wu was driving the car.

The three little ones don’t want to take the carriage, they want bus number nine!

Da Hu and Er Hu quickly occupied Su Xiaoxiao's left and right hands, and Xiao Hu was so angry that he stomped his feet!

"I don't want to go to the ninth road." Xiaohu said to Wei Ting.

Wei Ting decisively picked up Xiaohu and threw him to Su Ergou.

The market here is not as good as the one in the provincial capital, but there are also many stalls.

The three little ones were drooling at the stall selling fried leek dumplings.

Su Xiaoxiao ordered six servings of chive dumplings and asked Su Ergou to go to the stall next door to buy some eggnog dumplings.

She wants to lose weight, so she stops eating these sugar and oil mixtures.

When sitting down, Xiaohu successfully grabbed a seat next to his mother and shook his little head happily!

Wei Ting suddenly stood up and left in silence.

Su Xiaoxiao thought he was going to the toilet, but when he came back, he had a roasted sweet potato in his hand.

"I just bought it." He said lightly.

Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Then why give it to me?"

Wei Ting took the sweet potato back and said, "Forget it if you don't want to eat it."

"Eat!" Su Xiaoxiao quickly snatched the sweet potato and broke open the crispy roasted skin. The skin was a little burnt, and there was a faint sweet and sour taste when she bit into the burnt part.

Compared to the purely sweet part in the middle, Su Xiaoxiao actually likes to eat this part more.

Her little round face was chubby, and after taking a bite, her cheeks bulged out like a fat little squirrel looking for food.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?" Su Ergou asked.

Wei Ting turned his eyes away from Su Xiaoxiao's face, picked up the chive box on the plate and said, "Eat."

Su Ergou smacked his lips and thought since you didn’t want to eat it, I would eat it for you!

After eating the chive dumplings and eggnog until they were about 60% full, Su Xiaoxiao did not allow them to eat any more: "It's too late. Eating too much will be hard to digest. Eat again tomorrow."

When he heard that he could come tomorrow, Su Ergou happily accepted it.

The group returned to the inn.

The three little ones were so excited that they didn’t want to sleep and rolled back and forth on the bed.

Wei Ting said: "I'll watch them, you go to sleep first."

Su Xiaoxiao had to get up early the next day, so she didn't bother to be polite with Wei Ting. She rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

When she woke up, Wei Ting was no longer in the room. The three little ones were lying on their backs, snoring loudly, one at the head of the bed, one at the foot of the bed, and one lying on the side.

Su Xiaoxiao put the little ones in place, covered them with a quilt, and then began to get dressed and wash.

Shopkeeper Sun went to bed early and got up early. He first woke up Xiao Wu, went to the stable to feed the horses, and then ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the lobby, the steaming hot dumplings were already out of the oven.

"Boss, did you sleep well last night?" asked Manager Sun.

"Not bad." Su Xiaoxiao sat down next to him.

Shopkeeper Sun said, "Xiao Wu has gone to call Er Gou. He will be down soon. This basket of buns is for you. There are new ones in the kitchen."

Su Xiaoxiao tasted the steamed bun and said, "It tastes good."

The ingredients are very fresh, and pepper and ginger are used to remove the meaty smell. When you take a bite, it is slightly juicy, and the taste is between xiaolongbao and soup dumpling.

"You eat too." Su Xiaoxiao said to him.

Shopkeeper Sun smiled and said, "You eat first. I'll wait for Ergou to come over."

Su Xiaoxiao has no sense of hierarchy in her bones, but Manager Sun will not forget his status because of this. The boss gives him face and it shows that he is generous, and he cannot take advantage of it.

You still have to have the proper sense of propriety.

Su Xiaoxiao said nothing more and ate two more.

Shopkeeper Sun: "Boss, I went to inquire again this morning."

"What do you want to know?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Shopkeeper Sun whispered, "Yes, it's the family that hired us to make snacks. I originally thought it was a deal I had negotiated, so I didn't think much about it. But when I thought about it at night, I realized that this deal was probably arranged by Master Huijue, so it must not be an ordinary family, so I asked around."

You didn't ask around, you dug up the truth, didn't you? Guests came down to the lobby one after another.

Shopkeeper Sun lowered his voice and said, "The Su family came from the capital. It is said that they are high-ranking officials in the capital! No wonder they are not afraid that we will offend Li Futai!"

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao continued to eat the dumplings.

No, why are you so calm?

We have received business from a nobleman in Beijing! What a big gimmick! If this gets out, Jinji won't even be worthy of carrying our shoes! Shopkeeper Sun was so excited for a long time that he even planned a hundred ways to brag, create momentum, and kill Jinji in his mind.

Shopkeeper Sun continued, "Their ancestral home is in Pingcheng, Qingzhou. They would return to their hometown to worship their ancestors every few years, but I heard that fewer of them have returned in recent years. Do you know why?"

Su Xiaoxiao said honestly: "I don't know."

Shopkeeper Sun: You are really a bad supporting actor! Shopkeeper Sun spent a lot of money to get the gossip, so he couldn't help but say: "It is said that many years ago, the Su family returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors and encountered robbers. A lady of the Su family and her child were brutally killed by the robbers! Since then, fewer members of the Su family have returned! This time, it is said that they are moving the graves!"

"sister!"

Su Ergou came downstairs, "It smells so good!"

Shopkeeper Sun said to Xiao Wu, "Go to the kitchen and ask them to bring out the remaining three baskets of buns."

Xiao Wu agreed: "Okay."

Just as Su Ergou was about to pick up his chopsticks, Su Xiaoxiao said, "Send a basket up to your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law hasn't woken up yet." Su Ergou said, "I didn't hear any movement in his room."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Just go if I tell you to go."

"Oh." Su Ergou obediently picked up a basket of buns and knocked on his brother-in-law's door.
