I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Wen Shutang distributed the strips of cloth to the children and said, "Go back and fix these strips of cloth on your kites. After lunch, I will find an open space to teach you how to fly kites."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Ye was the first to nod and agree, and said excitedly: "Okay! When my little sister and I bought a kite this morning, the old man taught us a little bit, but the kite didn't fly at that time."

"Yes, if you want to participate in the kite competition, you still need to practice more." Xiao Wan nodded in agreement.

She learned some tricks from an old man selling kites this morning, but her kite couldn't fly at all.

Listening to the two people's description, Wen Shutang couldn't help but smile: "Then it's just right to take a break after lunch. When the weather is not so hot, I will take you out to fly kites. Anyway, the kite competition will be held in a day."

A few people returned to the inn chatting and laughing. The innkeeper saw them come back and asked a question with a smile.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"Yes, I found it and have already registered." Wen Shutang responded politely with a smile.

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

"By the way, please ask the shopkeeper to bring lunch to the second floor later, we won't go downstairs." Wen Shutang nodded slightly and instructed.

"Okay, don't worry, young lady. I'll ask someone to deliver it to you later." The shopkeeper responded.

Wen Shutang took the children upstairs to the room, took the kites from the three children and looked at them carefully.

She had seen how kites were made in a book before. Generally speaking, kites can be divided into six types based on their structure: hard-wing, soft-wing, string-shaped, plate-shaped, barrel-shaped and free-shaped.

The uses of various structures are different.

Hard-wing kites have the characteristics of good take-off performance, stable flying performance and easy rise.

When soft-winged kites are released, their wings are slightly arched and can also gently vibrate. When imitating birds, insects, bats, goldfish and other animals, they are almost indistinguishable from the real ones. The colors are extremely bright and eye-catching, and they are easy to carry.

The three kites that Xiao Yizhuo bought for them all had hard wings, which were more suitable for competitions.

Wen Shutang carefully examined the details of the kite and found that every part was made very delicately without any flaws.

She couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart that the craftsmen in this place were so skillful.

"The kites are fine. We'll go out and fly them when it's cooler in the afternoon." She smiled and returned the kites to the children.

Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Yizhuo stood up and opened the door. The waiter was standing at the door with lunch in his hand, bending over: "Sir, your lunch."

Xiao Yizhuo slightly stepped aside to let someone in. After the waiter placed the dishes on the table, he bowed and left without looking at anything else.

"Okay, let's eat." Wen Shutang distributed chopsticks to the children.

After lunch, Wen Shutang urged the three children to go back to their room to rest. It was the hottest time of the day at noon. If they went out now, not only would they be sweating all over, but the children might also get heatstroke, which would be bad if they fell ill.

Although Xiao Ye and Xiao Wan were excited, they had no choice but to go back and rest.

Xiao Ze was obviously better able to control his emotions and took his younger brother and sister back to their room.

Only Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo were left in the room, and they began to discuss their next itinerary.

Xiao Yizhuo took out the map from his arms, pointed to the next location with a red circle and explained: "Starting from Tian'an Village, it's about ten miles to the next place, Yongquan Manor."

Wen Shutang looked in the direction where he pointed: "Ten miles? It doesn't seem very far."

"Well, Yongquan Manor is a small place. There aren't many people there. It's not much different from Da'an Village. Compared to the prosperity of Tian'an Village, Yongquan Manor seems relatively ordinary." Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly and patiently explained to Wen Shutang.

"Well, then we don't need to rush. It's only ten miles away, and we can get there in one day at most by horse carriage." Wen Shutang nodded and said, touching his chin.

In this case, they were not in a hurry to leave Tian'an Village. Wen Shutang was a little worried at first that staying here for too long to participate in the kite competition would affect the subsequent itinerary.

If that's true, Tian'an Village and Yongquanzhuang are only ten miles apart, then it shouldn't delay the rest of the journey.

"Yes, so you can attend the Kite Competition with peace of mind." Xiao Yizhuo naturally knew what Wen Shutang was worried about. He looked at Wen Shutang with gentle eyes and said what she was thinking.

Wen Shutang curled the corners of his lips and responded: "Yes, I'm sure the children will be very happy."

Xiao Yizhuo nodded in agreement, then reached out and put the map away.

"Okay, you should take a rest too. Take them out when you wake up." Xiao Yizhuo said.

"Well, what about you? Don't you want to take a break?" Wen Shutang stood up and tilted his head to look at Xiao Yizhuo.

After Xiao Yizhuo put away the map, he also stood up and shook his head, saying, "I'll ask Muzhu about the situation and come back later."

"Okay, then go ahead." Wen Shutang nodded, but didn't say anything else. He turned around and went to rest.

Xiao Yizhuo left the room quietly, closed the door gently, turned around, went downstairs and left the inn.

Turning into the alley on the side, Muzhu and Mucha had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Yizhuo coming, the two of them knelt on one knee respectfully and saluted, "Young Master."

Xiao Yizhuo responded in a low voice, glanced at the two of them, his eyes calm: "Any news?"

Mu Zhu lowered his head and responded, "There was news from Mu Yin that Master Fang did secretly send people to Qingshui Town to investigate the situation, but they found no trace."

Before Xiao Yizhuo could say anything, Mu Xia on the side quickly added: "And the people who stayed in the capital to keep an eye on him also sent news that Master Fang seems to be no longer in the capital. As for where he went, they haven't found out yet."

Hearing this, Xiao Yizhuo frowned slightly. Fang Wenhe is no longer in Beijing?

Seeing that Xiao Yizhuo looked unhappy, Mu Xia hesitated and said, "Young Master, do you think it is possible that Young Master Fang personally brought people to Qingshui Town to find out about you?"

Xiao Yizhuo pursed his lips and said nothing. He lowered his eyes and thought. What Mu Xia said was not impossible. With Fang Wenhe's impatient personality, it was possible that he would come here to check the news himself.

"Go and tell Mu Yin to keep an eye on those people. If Fang Wenhe really comes to Qingshui Town, be sure to tell me immediately." Xiao Yizhuo said in a cold voice, not at all the obedient and docile behavior he showed in front of Wen Shutang.

The murderous aura emanating from him made Mu Zhu and Mucha tremble uncontrollably.

Especially Mu Xia, who had been used to seeing the young master being obedient around his lady these days, and now she felt a little uncomfortable seeing him being so cold.

"Yes, I obey."
