Why was it again?
Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment and remembered. Wasn't it because they were eating at the same steamed bun shop and were close to each other, that she kindly reminded the other person that there were wonton crumbs on their chin?
And then when they met again, he just kept...? Hong Xiaoduo couldn't find the right words to describe that feeling for a moment.
Even though he didn't have any obvious sarcastic or strange behavior, the way he looked at her and the expression on his face just made her feel strange.
"Forget it, it's not worth mentioning. Anyway, it's not what you think. Brother Quan, don't you think about what kind of person I am? Someone as narcissistic as him would only look down on me, how could he possibly like me?"
Even if he likes me, I can't marry someone I don't love just because I want someone to rely on. And now that I've taken care of the seven children, I'll definitely find a way to support them.
"People can always come up with solutions; a living person can't just die from holding their pee, can they?" Hong Xiaoduo ultimately didn't tell her the reason.
I feel that whether I say Mu Zitao is extremely narcissistic or self-righteous, it's just an evaluation.
But, was Mu Zitao's reaction because he misunderstood her meaning at the time, making him feel embarrassed? Ashamed?
Therefore, it's best not to tell others about this, even if Brother Quan and Mu Zitao don't know each other and may not meet in the future.
Seeing that she wouldn't say, Quan Jinghuai became even more curious.
But he's a grown man, and it's inappropriate for him to gossip and pry like a woman!
“Everyone says this world is chaotic and unstable, but there are still many good people. After learning about our situation, they will help us out. Speaking of which, I haven’t earned any money myself yet.” Hong Xiaoduo said this without any smugness.
However, she began to examine herself in her mind.
She has been using funds provided by others all along, and she still keeps asking Old Man Luo at the science museum for some kind of slush fund, hoping he can prepare banknotes or something like that for her.
Is what she's doing wrong?
After learning the value of the sword at her waist, she immediately made a plan to sell it for money when she ran out of cash!
They lack the sense of crisis about not having enough money, which is why they lack the ambition to earn money.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo was deep in thought and her brows were slightly furrowed, Quan Jinghuai felt that something he had said might have stirred up her worries, and he regretted it very much.
He's already taken seven disciples as his master, so why is he becoming less and less composed in his dealings with others?
I wanted to apologize, but after thinking about it, I worried that I might say the wrong thing and make things more complicated.
Finally, Quan Jinghuai reminded himself to be more careful in the future, and then walked towards his disciples.
That night, after lying down in the tent, Hong Xiaoduo went into the lower space again and checked the exchange interface, only to find that the exchanged energy had not changed.
In other words, trivial matters like deciding which way to go in daily life do not earn energy rewards.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't think that Old Man Luo's arrangement was unfair. To be honest, the old man was quite good.
Old Luo would change the restrictions and rules he set before, instead of being rigid and stubborn and refusing to change the rules he had set.
For example, even after the cabinet in the space had a redemption system, Old Luo would still put new things in it from time to time—face masks, massage guns, massage devices, and so on.
Although these are all items that cannot be taken out of the spatial storage, she can still use them inside; Old Man Luo is quite thoughtful.
I happily left the room, forgetting all about the self-reflection I had just done, and slept soundly as always.
The next morning, while eating, Hong Xiaoduo told everyone that they couldn't dawdle on the road for the next few days and had to reach Fengzhou within three days.
"Mother, how many days will this rain last?" Yao Guang asked curiously, swallowing the porridge in her mouth.
The number of days you can stay in Fengzhou depends on the rain in the next few days.
I heard my master say a few days ago that Fengzhou City is very big and the salted chicken sold there is very famous.
"Well, I estimate it will take at least four days," Hong Xiaoduo told us.
Wow, the kids are so happy to be able to stay in Fengzhou City for four days!
Mother bought them all oiled boots for rainy days. They were made of fine silk coated with tung oil or wax, and the soles were nailed with iron nails to prevent slipping.
So even if it rains, it won't stop you from shopping.
"Don't get too excited yet. This time it's not just raining; there will be strong winds, thunderstorms, and hail. We'll have to stay in the inn and won't be able to go anywhere," Hong Xiaoduo said, pouring cold water on our hopes.
The current energy in the exchange system isn't enough to exchange for a place to stay, so we'll have to plan our trips in advance.
Hearing her words, even though he had witnessed her predictions of the weather many times before and she had never been wrong, Quan Jinghuai was still shocked.
Her ability to read the weather has become increasingly sophisticated. Not only can she accurately predict the weather for seven days, but she can also predict complex weather conditions such as strong winds, thunderstorms, and hail at the same time.
With that, she was already qualified to enter the Imperial Observatory.
Only he was surprised; Feiyan and the seven children were not surprised at all. After she gave them instructions, they immediately started packing after breakfast and soon set off.
Around noon, Tianxuan started to simplify her lunch preparations, no longer making porridge or soup.
I just heated up the dry food I brought, ate it with some pickles, and that solved the problem.
We eat three meals a day, with the evening meal being slightly more substantial.
So, the group of three adults and seven children arrived in Fengzhou half a day early.
Fengzhou is indeed very large; the inns on the main street have surprisingly reasonable room rates.
"Should we go to the back street and ask again? The price should be cheaper there," Tian Shu discussed with Hong Xiaoduo.
Hong Xiaoduo looked to the left and right. To the left of the inn was a steamed bun shop and a noodle shop, and to the right was a restaurant.
After asking about the price at Tian Shu, the innkeeper followed them out and stood to the side, pondering how to keep these guests.
"Excuse me, do you have your own dining room?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, seeing that he had come out with Tian Shu and didn't seem like a tenant living here.
"Yes, yes, but you have to book in advance. You can book lunch in the morning, and dinner in the afternoon," the shopkeeper replied hurriedly.
After thinking for a moment, she added, "Our head chef is very skilled. If you don't like what you've tried, young lady, look, I'll cook over here. There are food options all around, so it's very convenient."
"Tian Shu, have you asked if there are any rooms available for us?" Hong Xiaoduo asked Tian Shu upon hearing this. Seeing him nod, she immediately said, "Then let's stay here."
Hearing her approval, the shopkeeper was very happy and hurriedly called the shop assistants to come out and bring the horse-drawn carriage and donkey cart to the stable.
"Manager, we need to stay..." Tian Shu stopped and asked Hong Xiaoduo, who was riding in the carriage.
"Seven days, at least seven days." Hong Xiaoduo knew that Tian Shu was going to haggle with the shopkeeper.
The innkeeper glanced at the man who had dismounted, then at the woman who had gotten off the donkey cart, and then looked at Hong Xiaoduo with some confusion...
