The carriage slowly moved toward the Zhou family’s graveyard. They only arrived at the Zhou family’s graveyard at midnight.

After the group came out after paying their respects, it was drizzling. They met Old Master Zhou at the intersection. The Zhou brothers walked over with offerings on their backs. When the brothers saw Li Yu and the others, they stopped and looked at them darkly.

Old Master Zhou turned around and patted them. “Why are you standing there?”

Zhou Yu spat and sneered. “It’s none of your business.”

Old Master Zhou was furious. “I can’t be bothered with you. Learn from that family and you’ll be the unlucky one.” With that, he turned around and left.

Li Yu brought the child back to the carriage. Yangyang asked curiously, “Mother, who are those two people? Why are they rude to Uncle?”

Li Yu thought of Zhou Yu’s dark gaze and frowned. “Those two are your grandfather’s sons. It’s wrong of them to do that. No matter when you see them, ignore them.”

Yangyang nodded. “Yes! Their eyes are so scary. They don’t look like good people.”

“Some bad people you can tell what they are like at a glance. As for others, you can’t tell from the surface what kind of people they are- Yom have to illdge from

what they do.”

Seven Pounds looked at Li Yu. “Madam, that brother just now is the kind that can be judged at a glance.”

Li Yu rubbed their heads and nodded with a smile. “Yes, they’re the kind that are bad on the surface. The other kind is something that we have to distinguish with our hearts.”

Yangyang thought for a moment and said to Seven Pounds, “Brother Seven

Pounds, and Uncle Liu. They look a little fierce, but they don’t scare people.”

Li Yu leaned against the carriage and listened to the two of them discussing who looked like a bad person and who didn’t. The carriage slowly returned to the city.

The rain lasted for a few days before the sky cleared. Mr. Wen and Old Master Zhou brought Yangyang, Seven Pounds, and Little Stutterer to the hot spring manor outside the city.

The large group of people played in the hot spring manor for two days before returning home. Yangyang said happily to Li Yu, “Mother, Brother Seven Pounds and I know how to swim. Brother Loach taught me.”

Seeing his sparkling eyes, Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, you can’t swim in the river. If you like it, I’ll bring you to the manor to swim in the future.” “Why can’t we swim in the river?” Yangyang asked.

Li Yu pulled him in front of her and said solemnly, “The water in the river is very deep and the current is very fast. There are also water weeds and rocks in the river. If something happens, you won’t be able to see your parents and brothers. We’ll be sad.”

Yangyang looked at Li Yu and nodded. “Mother, I’m not going. I don’t want to be unable to find you. I don’t want you to be sad.”

Li Yu picked him up and kissed him. Yangyang looked at Li Yu shyly. “Mother, Sir said that we’re big children and can’t let Father and Mother carry us anymore.”

A child who was less than six years old said that he was a big child. Li Yu smiled and kissed him again. “Yes! I’ll just carry my big baby.”

Yangyang looked at Li Yu. “Mother, when will Father come back? I miss

Father.”

Li Yu thought for a moment. “Your father might not be back until before the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

“It’s taking so long. Summer’s over.” Yangyang pouted.

Li Yu pinched his nose gently. “That’s why he asked you to take care of Mother and your brothers!”

Yangyang looked at his sleeping brothers in the cradle and replied softly, “I’ll remember.”

After Zhou Jia and the others left Lin County, they left Tiezhu in the convoy with Ruyi, Zhao Cai, and two secret guards.

One of the secret guards protecting Zhou Jia was actually Ding Yi. After a few people disguised themselves, Zhou Jia became a bearded man. His original appearance could not be seen at all.

Ruyi and Zhao Cai also changed their appearances. The few of them quietly left the convoy carrying the decree and rode towards Yuezhou.

It took them less than a month to reach the city gate of Yuezhou City before noon.

Looking at the city gate close at hand, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Zhaocai smiled and said, “If this continues, our butt will split into eight pieces.”

Ruyi turned to look at him and teased, “I’ll help you count when we get to the inn later. How many pieces are there now?”

Zhaocai rolled its eyes at him and said disdainfully, “You’re not a delicate woman. I’m not showing you.”

Ding Yi and the secret guard, Hu Cheng, looked at the crowd queuing up to enter the city. After a while, Hu Cheng pulled his horse closer to Zhou Jia and said with a smile, “Master, didn’t you say that you wanted to eat sweets?

There’s one in front.”

Did he want to eat sweets? In an instant, Zhou Jia understood. He glanced at the thin old man in front of him and saw him hunching his back toward the soldiers guarding the door. He smiled carefully and gave the copper coins to enter the city.

“Look! There’s a sugar seller in front. Let’s buy from him when we enter the city.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll listen to you.” Hu Cheng smiled apologetically.

Soon, it was their turn to enter the city. The guards checked their travel passes and collected ten copper coins each before letting them in.

When they entered the city, they saw the old man selling sugar. He shook his rattle and walked slowly in front. Zhou Jia glanced at Hu Cheng. “Hey! The sugar seller hasn’t gone far. Go buy some. ”

“Yes, Master.” Hu Cheng led the horse a few steps and stopped the old man selling sweets. “Old man, give me ten copper coins of sweets.”

“Aye!” The old man put down the burden with a smile and nimbly picked up some sugar packets. He handed them to Hu Cheng. “Take these ten copper coins worth of sugar.”

Hu Cheng took the candy and a paper ball from the old man. Hu Cheng took the candy back and handed it to Zhou Jia.

Zhao Cai smiled and said, “Master, there are sesame seeds sprinkled on it. It looks quite delicious.”

Zhou Jia opened the candy and placed a piece in his mouth. “It’s indeed fragrant with sesame seeds.”

He took another piece and handed it to them. “You guys eat too.”

The few of them smiled and took a piece before walking towards the street market.

The pedestrians on the street rubbed shoulders. There were people carrying poles, riding horses, sitting in sedan chairs, driving ox carts, and donkeys pulling goods. There were luxurious restaurants, teahouses, and pawn shops on both sides of the street. There were also many shops selling porcelain.

The group led their horses around the street. Hu Cheng brought a few people and slowly walked to a quiet river in the east of the city and got onto the stone arch bridge.

After crossing the bridge, they walked into a quiet alley and entered an inn that called for guests. The shop assistant took the reins with a smile and shouted into it, “Shopkeeper, the guest is here.”

A lean old man came out to welcome them happily. “Please, please. The guests are still at the front.’

Zhou Jia smiled faintly and said, “Stay in the shop. Does the shopkeeper have a separate small courtyard?”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded. “Yes, it’s in the backyard. I’ll bring you guys to take a look.”

The few of them followed the old shopkeeper through the inn and arrived at the small courtyard at the back. There was a stone arch bridge not far to the right of the small courtyard. There was an alley diagonally opposite and a street not far away.

Opening the courtyard door, she saw a small path paved with limestone. The courtyard wall was filled with gardenia jasmine and roses, as well as a few blooming spring flowers. Under the eaves of the porch were a few bamboo chairs and a small round table..
