Originally she was a little worried that it would take some time, after all, it was not an easy job.

However, Hu Panxia's actions were faster than she had imagined.

Not long after, the clothes were altered and handed to Zhang.

"So fast?" Zhang took the clothes in surprise and examined them carefully.

She found that Hu Panxia did not simply cut off the excess parts like most people did, but cleverly folded back the oversized parts and then sewed them up with fine needle and thread.

This way, not only will the clothes fit better, but if the baby grows up and feels the clothes are too small, you can remove the seams and let him continue to wear them.

It doesn't cost much to dress children, and this also saves a lot of fabric.

Hu Panxia smiled shyly and explained, "Aunt Yue, I think the material of this dress is quite good. It would be a pity to cut it off directly. So I thought of this way, which can not only let Xiaobao wear suitable clothes, but also avoid wasting such good fabric."

After hearing what Hu Panxia said, Zhang was stunned for a moment.

She couldn't help but think of the old days at home.

Before Youyou came to this family, the Yu family had always lived in poverty and had almost no new clothes to wear. They just used the adults' old clothes and altered them to make them smaller for the children.

At that time, every piece of clothing was reused over and over again until it could no longer be repaired.

Who would care about details like cotton and coarse cloth?

Nowadays, although living conditions have improved, seeing Hu Panxia cherish her clothes and know how to be frugal, Zhang couldn't help but feel a sense of time has changed.

I think it was because things at home had been getting better and better since Youyou came home that she actually felt that it was normal to cut off items when they were too big or replace them when they were too small.

Zhang sighed, "Pan Xia is right. Children don't waste clothes. Clothes like this can really be worn for a long time."

She took out two more sets of Yu Anan's clothes and asked Hu Panxia to continue altering them.

It is not expensive for children to wear clothes, but they have to change them frequently.

And diapers and other things, it’s always a good idea to prepare more.

Just as I was thinking about what additional things I needed to prepare, the carriage slowly stopped.

Zhang turned around almost reflexively and blurted out subconsciously: "I guess we have arrived at our destination."

Yu Lin echoed, "Then let's get off the car first and talk about other things later."

After Wei Sujuan and Hu Panxia looked at each other, they got off the carriage, holding Xiaobao, who had fallen asleep.

However, as soon as their feet touched the ground, they both froze in place, completely stunned.

Because this place is not anywhere else, but the post station of Yucheng.

What was even more unexpected was that at this moment there was a group of people standing at the door of the post station, and at the front of the group stood a man.

They were not unfamiliar with this person.

This man turned out to be the county magistrate of Yucheng—Mr. Qiao!

Wei Sujuan and Hu Panxia, ​​mother and daughter, could not help but look at each other again, their faces full of astonishment.

Why did A Yue (Auntie Yue) bring them to the post station? !

My heart was filled with disbelief and fear.

After all, this kind of place is not something people of their status can set foot in!

Wei Sujuan hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms, leading Hu Panxia while following closely behind the Zhang family.

Looking from afar through the crowded crowd, one could see that the county magistrate, Lord Qiao, was extremely respectful and polite to the young woman walking at the front of the team.

Cai Wen nodded slightly and smiled, "We have come back with great success from this visit to Daliang. We are passing through Yucheng on our way back. I hope you will forgive me for any disturbance."

Huang Linghua said nothing and left all matters to Cai Wen.

Lord Qiao examined the situation and pondered in his heart.

He had heard that the Nvhuang Kingdom respected women, so it was normal for it to send female envoys.

However, this reminded him of another thing.

"It is a good thing that the two countries have friendly relations, but I have heard that your envoys have passed through Yucheng a month ago. I wonder if Your Excellency..."

The implication is self-evident. No further elaboration is needed.

Cai Wen explained with a smile: "That was just the advance team. My master stayed for a few more days because he was looking for his relatives."

Lord Qiao gazed at Huang Linghua's unique demeanor, as well as Zhang, who could be identified at a glance as a native of Daliang. Then, looking at the car full of men, women, young and old, he already understood.

Moreover, the other party took the initiative to reveal his identity and expressed his desire to stay overnight at the inn, which can be said to be aboveboard.

In his heart, Master Qiao held the thought that less trouble is worse than more trouble, but on the surface he still smiled and said, "In that case, everyone should take a rest first."

"It's just that Yucheng is in the middle of winter, so there may be some shortcomings in the hospitality. I hope you can bear with me."

Cai Wen quickly responded: "This is what we should do. We just want to find a place to rest. After a little tidying up, we will leave early tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, the smile on Lord Qiao's face became more sincere, and he made a gesture of invitation, inviting Huang Linghua and his party to enter the post station.

However, when he saw Wei Sujuan and Hu Panxia in the crowd, he couldn't help but frowned.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Lord Qiao did not say much. He still warmly settled everyone before turning around and leaving the post station.

On the way back home, Master Qiao turned around and asked the person next to him: "Do you remember that three months ago, an old woman came to the police to report that her son-in-law was missing?"

The man next to him nodded and replied, "Your Excellency, I remember this incident. The investigation at that time showed that the son-in-law took all the money and ran away."

His voice paused for a moment, and then as if he suddenly remembered something, he continued, "Eh? The old woman just now seemed to be her."

"But how did she know the envoy from the Female Phoenix Nation?"

Mr. Qiao shook his head: "I don't know, send a few people over there in case they need anything."

The people around him understood and said, "I understand!"

After returning home, Lord Qiao quickly asked his servants to deliver a secret letter to Qiao Anbang outside the city.

After receiving the letter, Qiao Anbang couldn't help but frown.

"There is no woman of noble status among the envoys on this mission? How come one suddenly appears?"

"And you still want to find your relatives? Whose relatives are you looking for?"

Qiao Anbang realized that the matter was serious, so he immediately left the military camp and rushed to the city at full speed.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the post station was also very tense. Wei Sujuan and Hu Panxia were always fidgeting and looked a little uneasy.

Zhang noticed their strangeness and took the initiative to explain.
