Yan Qianqian

Hongdou looked at Qianqian, who had not yet gotten up, and asked softly, "Miss, what would you like to eat for lunch?"

Qianqian replied with sleepy eyes, "Anything is fine."

Seeing this, Hongdou looked outside the carriage curtain and said to Ouyang Chengren, who was sitting in the driver's seat, "Miss says anything is fine."

After hearing this, Ouyang Chengren simply grunted, then drove the horse away.

After a while, the carriage arrived in front of a Jiu Lou ahead and slowly came to a stop.

After the carriage stopped steadily, Hongdou said to Qianqian, "Miss, get up, we've arrived at the Jiu Lou."

Only then did Qianqian slowly get up. Since leaving the Jun Ying, Qianqian had spent all day doing nothing, and her days of idleness made her increasingly lazy.

After sitting up, Qianqian stretched her arms wide and moved her muscles and bones. Hongdou had already gotten off the carriage first and was waiting by the carriage.

Qianqian slowly lifted the carriage curtain and carefully stepped down onto the small stool. Seeing this, Ouyang Chengren quickly stepped forward and held Qianqian's arm, in case she fell.

The two smiled at each other; this scene was like a pair of a talented scholar and a beautiful lady, very well-matched, even Hongdou beside them was stunned.

Afterwards, the two entered the Jiu Lou together. They did not want a Bao Jian, but found a seat in the main hall to sit down. Ouyang Chengren and Qianqian sat at one table, while Hongdou and the other Servants sat at another table.

After lunch, Qianqian did not sleep again in the afternoon, but leisurely looked at a Picture Book. After a whole afternoon of rushing, they finally found an Inn in a nearby Chengchi and decided to rest there for one night.

Just like that, for three consecutive days, they rushed on the road during the day and stayed at inns at night.

At noon three days later, the sun was shining brightly, and several people sat around the table enjoying lunch.

While eating, Ouyang Chengren said to Qianqian, "After we finish eating, we will continue rushing on the road. After passing Chunqiu City, it will be Chunding City; we should arrive this afternoon."

Qianqian ate elegantly. Hearing Ouyang Chengren's words, she replied, "Finally arriving, these days of rushing on the road have been truly boring."

Ouyang Chengren hurriedly comforted her, "Once we arrive at Chunding City, I will send you back to the General's Mansion. An Ye has already arranged everything in advance. After you return, you can take a bath first and rest well. As for me, I need to go to the Imperial Palace to handle some matters."

Qianqian nodded and said, "Alright, then you must go quickly and come back quickly."

Ouyang Chengren smiled at Qianqian and said dotingly, "Don't worry, I will definitely return before dark. By then, I will take you out for a stroll; the nights in Chunding City are very lively, much more interesting than Chunning City."

After hearing this, Qianqian showed an expectant expression on her face and said, "Then you must come back early."

Ouyang Chengren guaranteed again, "Definitely, definitely, I will rush back as soon as possible."

After speaking, the several people sped up to finish eating, then tidied up their luggage and continued their journey.

Since everyone knew they could reach their destination in the afternoon, they did not stop along the way, rushing toward Chunding City without rest, and Ouyang Chengren announced that everyone would have a day off tomorrow to rest well.

However, as Qianqian's personal maid, everything was decided by Qianqian, so naturally Ouyang Chengren's word did not count. But when Qianqian heard Ouyang Chengren say others could rest tomorrow, she decisively decided to let Hongdou rest for a day as well.

Not only that, Qianqian additionally rewarded Hongdou with two taels of silver, so she could go out for a stroll tomorrow and relax.

The reason Qianqian did this was because she had seen those two books that had troubled her endlessly.

She knew Hongdou was meticulous, so she specially asked Hongdou to bring the books. Hongdou indeed did not disappoint Qianqian; she had tidied the books up neatly.

Qianqian knew very well in her heart that Hongdou was a good girl who had always served her wholeheartedly. Therefore, she took extra care of Hongdou.

But just then, Qianqian suddenly thought of something—she would soon leave Xishang. This thought made her heart heavy.

Sitting in the carriage, Qianqian looked at Hongdou and couldn't help but ask, "Hongdou, if one day I leave, what will you do?"

Hongdou almost didn't think and immediately replied, "If Miss leaves, Hongdou will continue serving the young miss, or the young master."

Qianqian's heart sank; she knew Hongdou had misunderstood her meaning. However, hearing Hongdou say this, her heart felt somewhat bitter.

Qianqian couldn't help but start thinking: when she left, should she take Hongdou with her?,

Suddenly she remembered that Hongdou had a happy and fulfilling family, with parents who doted on and loved her dearly.

With such a family environment, presumably Hongdou would not be willing to follow her to a faraway place. Qianqian secretly thought, since that was the case, then she would give Hongdou more silver money so she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Qianqian silently calculated in her heart; after a while, she no longer dwelled on this issue, picked up the Picture Book again, and continued flipping through it.

However, before she could finish reading the Picture Book in her hand, she heard Hongdou's unusually excited voice: "Miss, look quickly! We're almost at Chunding City!"

While speaking, Hongdou impatiently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain, revealing a round little face, her entire face filled with uncontainable excitement, her eyes even smiling into a slit.

Hearing Hongdou's shout, Qianqian also felt a surge of excitement in her heart.

Chunding City, she had finally arrived. She did not rush to the carriage curtain to look out like Hongdou, but sat quietly there, listening to the various sounds coming from outside.

As the carriage slowly stopped, the Picture Book in Qianqian's hand was also gently placed aside by her.

She lazily leaned against the carriage, slightly narrowed her eyes, pricked up her ears, and listened intently to the movements outside. However, apart from faint, indistinct chattering voices, no other sounds entered her ears.

"Hongdou, have we entered the city?" She finally couldn't hold back and asked softly.

Hongdou hurriedly replied, "Not yet, Miss, we're still lining up."

Qianqian made an "oh" sound, felt slightly relieved in her heart, and continued waiting.

After a while, Hongdou seemed to remember something interesting and excitedly said to Qianqian, "Miss, you don't know, although we're lining up here, those commoners lining up can't help but turn back to look at our General!"

Hearing this, Qianqian slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, "Oh? Really?"

Seeing this, Hongdou became even more interested and continued, "And, the guards guarding the city came to ask the General, saying they could enter directly without lining up!"

Qianqian's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then what did the General say?"

Hongdou smiled proudly, "The General is truly upright; he said this General is not in a hurry, since everyone has to line up, this General is naturally no exception!"

After hearing this, Qianqian's admiration for the General grew a bit more, and she couldn't help but nod, praising, "Truly the General worshipped by everyone in Xishang Kingdom!"
