Xia Hua didn't eat any more after finishing one piece. Kan Shu Shu finished one piece and wanted to take another, but Xia Hua picked up the bowl and put it in the storeroom. "Eat tomorrow. It's already very late. Go to sleep!"
“Okay, I’ll eat it tomorrow morning.” After An Shuyi finished speaking, she took out a washbasin from the warehouse, poured some water into it, and the two of them washed their hands before lying down to sleep.
Xia Hua looked at her helplessly as she got up in the morning, "Eating durian so early? You should eat some breakfast first. You can have the durian at noon."
From the moment she woke up and finished washing up, this silly woman stared at her expectantly. It was obvious what she meant; she just couldn't understand what was so delicious about durian, and why the trading system should have included durian in the first place.
An Shuyi shook her head, "I ate durian for breakfast. I'm tired of those wontons and steamed buns. Shushu, when we go back to the village, make me a durian mille-feuille cake! We have durian now, so we can make it."
She used to buy all her cakes from cake shops, but they don't sell them anymore, so she can only ask Huahua for help.
Xia Hua thought about the taste of durian and wondered if the villagers would accept it if she brought it back. They might even seriously doubt whether Shu Shu had enough money to afford good food, but she couldn't just not do it.
She took out the durian and gave it to her. "Okay, I'll make it for you when we get back, but don't eat too much, otherwise the smell will be too strong and it won't be good for others to smell it." She didn't want others to look at her strangely.
“Okay, I’ll just have one piece. You should eat your breakfast quickly,” An Shuyi said, and then started eating the durian.
Xia Hua had no choice but to take out a steamed bun, a meat pie, and a glass of milk before starting to eat breakfast. After finishing, she saw that there was only one piece of durian left in the bowl, but she ignored it and pretended not to see it.
Put the bowls away, take out a basin to wash them, wash them clean, and put them in the storage room.
An Shuyi watched as Xia Hua cleared the dishes and realized that all the durians had been eaten. She only had one piece left in her hand. Seeing that Hua Hua didn't say anything, she could only continue eating the durian. After finishing, she washed her hands and looked at Xia Hua ingratiatingly.
"Huahua, let's set off and get to the capital as soon as possible."
Seeing her so ingratiating, Xia Hua didn't say anything. "Let's go!"
Going down the mountain was faster than going up. By noon, the two had reached the bottom. When they got up in the morning, they had already changed into children's skirts and styled their hair into a mature woman's hairstyle, with only a simple hairpin as their headdress.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, they came to the main road. There were not only people on the road, but also horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts, all of whom seemed to be going to the city. Before the two could decide how to get into the city, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of them.
"Are you two ladies going into town? My carriage can seat two more people, it will only cost fifty coins," the old man driving the carriage asked.
He was a driver, and he could earn a lot of money a day by driving a horse-drawn carriage to transport people, which was faster than driving an oxcart.
An Shuyi nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, sir." She and Hua Hua then jumped onto the carriage. It was still quite a distance from the capital, and walking there would be too tiring.
I originally wanted to flag down an oxcart, but I didn't expect there to be horse-drawn carriages. It seems that the capital city is better than other prefecture cities, with horse-drawn carriages specifically for taking people. It's almost like a modern taxi.
Inside the carriage was a woman dressed as a married woman and a young girl, who appeared to be mother and daughter. They were carrying bundles, but the girl kept her head down and seemed to be crying. When they came in, the married woman nodded in a friendly manner.
An Shuyi smiled and nodded in response, pulling Hua Hua to sit on the other side of the carriage. She didn't talk to the mother and daughter during the journey because she was busy. She kept the carriage curtain open and looked outside. As for Xia Hua, she just sat quietly and didn't look anywhere else except when answering her questions.
Seeing that they were approaching the capital, An Shuyi stopped looking outside and quietly sat down. Soon the carriage stopped. "Guests, we have arrived in the capital. I will not enter the city and can only take you this far."
Seeing the mother and daughter get up, An Shuyi could only wait for them to get off before pulling Xia Hua down from the carriage. The warehouse was full of silver, so she could only take out one hundred copper coins from the trading system and hand them to the driver before the two of them entered the city.
"Huahua, let's find an inn to stay at first, then find a restaurant to eat at, get a good night's sleep, and go to the brokerage tomorrow, okay?"
Xia Hua nodded, "Okay!"
The two found an inn to stay in. Although they didn't know how long it would take to buy the house, they only booked one night. After booking the room, they went to a restaurant for dinner. Although they didn't order as much food as they did in Baiyun City, there was still a large table full of food.
After the dishes were served, they left a few dishes behind, poured the rest into bowls, and put them in the storeroom before starting to eat. Finally, they left a table full of empty plates. The two left the restaurant and returned to the inn, where they asked the waiter to bring water to their room. After taking a bath, they went to sleep.
After getting up in the morning and washing up, I changed into a new double-breasted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress). It was made of silk, and the fabric and style were of the highest quality. An Shuyi's dress had a white top with blue floral patterns and a white bottom with small red flowers. Although it was bright, it wasn't too outrageous.
She wore a pair of red bracelets on her wrists and a pair of ruby jewelry on her head; she simply wore a few items, making the overall look more understated.
Xia Hua's lower body was made of light blue fabric, while her upper body was white with blue patterns. It looked rather plain, not as flamboyant as An Shuyi's. She wore a pair of green bracelets on her wrists, and her headdress was just a simple hairpin.
Although her outfit was simple, it made her look more dignified, especially her overall demeanor, which made her appear even more refined.
"Huahua, have you been eating well lately? You look so much younger than before, and I can even see a bit of what you looked like in modern times." She used to look like she was in her fifties, but now she looks like she's in her forties, and she even looks a bit like her modern self.
When we get back, we'll have Doctor Liu research and develop the prescription for the medicine to regulate their bodies. Maybe after they take it, they can become even younger.
Xia Hua looked at herself in the mirror, then looked at Xia Hua again, "Have you looked at yourself? You don't look thirty-eight at all, you look much younger than before."
The original owner of Shushu had never suffered much hardship before. It was only in the last few years that she ate poorly and had a lot of psychological pressure and worries, which made her look older. But after Shushu transmigrated into the body, she didn't see that sorrowful look.
With good food and a positive attitude, Shushu looks very young. Dressed like this, she could easily pass for thirty. But this is the best look, more like the modern Shushu. Perhaps if Shushu takes better care of her health, she might look like she did in her twenties.
Hearing her say that, An Shuyi looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she looked much younger than before, like a young widow with some charm. "It's good to be young. Otherwise, if I always look old like before, it would be really scary."
