C45 (2/2)
Without waiting for Su Zhi to reply, she had already hugged Xiao Qian's thigh.
The child seemed to feel that something bad had happened and frowned. He pouted and chattered for his father.
”Thank you for taking care of me all this time, General. This humble woman will always remember this in her heart.”
A Jin held Su Zhi's hand and sensibly waved her hand. ”Uncle Xiao, thank you for taking us in. Thank you for being willing to teach me martial arts.”
Xiao Qian reached out to rub his little head, smiling, ”You have to work hard in martial arts, don't waste it.”
A Jin smiled and nodded, ”Yes, I will definitely remember Uncle Xiao's teachings.”
Su Zhi smiled and reached out to take the green bean bun.
Dou Bao retracted her hands, refusing to leave the warm embrace.
”Yes, Father ~ ~ Yes, Father ~”
”Be good, stop messing around. Uncle is waiting to go back.” Su Zhi ignored her mischief and carried her back.
Dou Zi refused. She struggled to get back into Xiao Qian's embrace, crying incessantly.
Su Zhi's persuasion did not work for a while as she was sweating profusely from anxiety.
It was like saying goodbye to your wife and children when your husband was away.
The wailing of the bean bag had attracted many passers-by. Even the soldiers who had returned with her stood on tiptoe to see what was going on.
Su Zhi steeled her heart and said sternly, ”Don't cry. If you don't want to leave with Mother, then stay here!”
After saying that, she pulled A Jin to the other side. The little bean bun quickly cried as he chased after her. After taking two steps, he turned around to look at Xiao Qian.
”Listen to your mother, hurry up and go.”
Xiao Qian felt sorry for the child, but he couldn't take her away. At the very least, he had to bring the child back.
The small bean bag was standing between Su Zhi and Xiao Qian. As it slowly walked towards Su Zhi, it looked unwillingly at Xiao Qian.
The little figure stood under the blazing sun, crying until his nose was mucus and tears ran down his cheeks. His little face was red from holding in his emotions.
In the end, she cried loudly before running in Su Zhi's direction as if she had made up her mind.
”Mother ~”
Feeling pained, Su Zhi hugged her child and nodded at Xiao Qian before disappearing into the crowd with her two children.
After the three of them disappeared in the sea of people, Xiao Qian retracted his gaze and rode his horse towards the direction of the capital.
It had been a month from the border pass to Xuancheng, when the weather began to cool from the cold dew.
Now that Xuan City had arrived, Su Zhi was relieved. The most important thing was to find a place to rest.
Xuan City was bustling, and since ancient times, it had been the gathering place of the Shang family's illustrious families.
Smoky willow painting bridge, green curtain, traffic, endless streams of, city treasure, LuoQi from different places, caravans from different places, there are golden hair and blue eyes, there are mysterious Fusang customers …
Xuancheng scenery is unique, the sky is clear, the trees around the embankment sand, the raging waves frost snow, the heavy lake stack Qingjia.
Three Autumn Osmanthus, ten miles of lotus flowers, singing a soft melody, riding a pleasure boat, half covered the lute, singing all night long, drunk listening to the flute drums, singing the flute melody.
Su Zhi brought her two children and exclaimed in admiration at the prosperity of Xuan City.
This place was not a peaceful village with barren loess, nor was it a desert filled with sand.
The liveliness of Xuan City was just as she had anticipated.
”A Jin, you and your little sister are following closely. Mom will bring you guys to find an inn to stay at for a few days.”
”Mother, don't worry. I will definitely watch my little sister.”
Su Zhi brought her children to a few inns. Just by asking about the price of the shop, they were all extremely expensive.
A normal guest room would cost 2 or 3 taels of silver each night. This was a relatively inexpensive restaurant, so it would be much more expensive to change it to the other room.
It was no wonder that Xiao Qian had given her a sum of silver after learning that she wanted to live here peacefully.
With a sigh, she pulled the two children around in search of the cheapest inn.
The waiter of a restaurant in the busy city had told her that there was a restaurant on the street heading west. The restaurant's prices were fair and fair.
After walking around in a circle, the three of them finally found the hotel mentioned by the waiter.
Outside of the limestone street sat a restaurant with a rather big front. The restaurant was called Flowerland Restaurant.
At first glance, it sounded elegant and impressive, but in reality, it was a place where not even flies frequented. Looking at the signboard and the shop's front, it really did have a simple and unadorned feeling, one couldn't even see a customer drinking tea from the outside.
