Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Amid Zhou Xinyue's singing, they finally set out on the journey to Meizhi City.

We stopped and walked along the way, and before we knew it, it was night.

Finally arrived at a post station on the way.

Everyone rested one after another and had a feast on the first floor of the station.

After eating his fill, Yuan Mao picked his teeth and said, "If we take a fast horse to Meizhi City, it will take about three to four days to arrive. But because we have so many people and so much stuff, we were delayed and it may take about six days to arrive. There are four post stations along the way. If we are delayed a little, we may have to spend a few nights in the wild."

After dinner, Uncle Seven lit up a cigarette as usual, crossed his legs, took two puffs and said, "It's not a big deal. As long as we can arrive safely, a delay of two days won't matter."

Yuan Mao continued, "Are you planning to settle down in Meizhi City with Lady Yue?"

The Seventh Uncle smiled and said, "In fact, sometimes I also think that if there were no sons and grandsons at home, I would also like to settle down in Meizhi City where the four seasons are like spring. However, there are too many people in my hometown who I miss, and I have been away for so long, and I haven't seen my precious grandson for a long time. I really miss him. So I must go back, but before we go back, we must first settle Yue Niangzi and the others, so that we can return with peace of mind."

Yuan Mao nodded and said, "I see. But you don't have to worry. Since I, Yuan, have promised the prince, I will definitely make sure that Lady Yue can enjoy the rest of her life in peace."

Uncle Seven asked, "Master You Yuan, we absolutely believe what you said."

Yuan Mao continued, "But after we are settled this time, I will take you to visit Lord Balbu. It is always better to be polite to greet him."

The Seventh Aunt nodded and said, "Of course, of course. Wait until Madam Yue comforts the child upstairs and I will talk to her later."

Yuan Mao stood up, twisted his waist and said, "Okay, let's talk about Lord Balbu on the way. There are plenty of opportunities. Okay, I'm really tired after a day's journey. You guys can do whatever you want. I'm going back to my room to rest first."

After saying this, Yuan Mao bowed and left.

After eating, Aunt Seven took the food upstairs.

When I entered Zhou Xinyue's room, Kang'er was crying in her arms and insisted on going out to play.

Zhou Xinyue was so anxious that she spanked him, but Zhier was obedient and didn't cry or make a fuss. He played with his little hands on the bed.

Aunt Seven came over and hurriedly took Kang'er in her arms. She tried to coax him but he wouldn't stop. Zhou Xinyue said helplessly, "This little thing just wants to go out and play. It's so desolate here, there are no streets outside, and it's pitch black. I don't know how to deal with him."

Zhou Xinyue took a few bites.

Aunt Seventh Auntie couldn't comfort Kang'er anymore, and Kang'er cried even harder.

Zhou Xinyue took the child helplessly and slapped him on the butt a few times angrily, which made the child cry even louder.

Zhou Xinyue turned around and looked at Zhier, who had already fallen asleep in bed.

Fanxing covered him with the quilt, turned around and gestured to Zhou Xinyue, meaning that Zhou Xinyue should take the child out for a walk.

Zhou Xinyue nodded helplessly and said, "Maybe it's because I took him out to play every day in Sibei City the past two days, so he has formed a habit. Okay, I'll take him to the first floor for a walk. Xing'er, you stay with Zhi'er."

Fanxing nodded desperately.

Zhou Xinyue carried Kang'er down to the first floor of the post station. Seventh Aunt-in-law ran downstairs with a cloak in her hand and said, "It's as cold as water this night. Madam Yue, don't catch a cold. Put one on the child as well."

Sure enough, as soon as Kang'er left the room and went downstairs, he stopped crying immediately.

Curiously, he looked left and right.

Zhou Xinyue smiled helplessly and said, "This brat, I knew he wanted to go out and have fun."

The Seventh Uncle smiled and said, "He will definitely be a very smart boy when he grows up."

Zhou Xinyue shook her head helplessly and smiled, then let him look around.

Let him sleep whenever he wants.

In this way, Aunt Seven held the child for a while, and Zhou Xinyue held the child for a while, and the child soon fell asleep.

Zhou Xinyue looked at Kang'er in her arms, his cute and chubby appearance, and felt like a mother, thinking that he was the cutest baby in the world.

I couldn't help but bent down and kissed the child.

Just as Zhou Xinyue was intoxicated by the child's cuteness, Yuan Mao came out from the kitchen door on the left side of the first floor, gnawing on chicken wings.

Yuan Mao's mouth was full of oil. He saw them and said in surprise, "Oh, they are all here!"

Zhou Xinyue looked at him holding the chicken wing in his right hand, his mouth full of oil and said, "Haha, Master Yuan hasn't rested yet!"

Yuan Mao wiped his mouth with a handkerchief in his sleeve awkwardly and said, "I was just about to take a break, but my stomach started growling, so I went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. There happened to be a roast chicken, and I couldn't help but have a bite. Haha! Are you hungry? Want some?"

Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Yuan, thank you, I'm not very hungry, you can eat by yourself."

Yuan smiled, took another bite of the chicken wing, sat down, and said, "We will have to endure hardships in the next few days. Thank you for your hard work."

The Seventh Aunt said with a smile: "Master Yuan, this is what you said. This is our own business. How can it be hard? On the contrary, it is our Master Yuan who has to work hard. He has arranged and introduced us all the way. Thank you very much."

Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but ask curiously, "I wonder if the city lord is easy to get along with?"

Yuan Mao replied: "You mean Lord Balbu. His father is the 13th prince of the old emperor. His fiefdom is near the vast land of Lulu River. Unfortunately, when Lord Balbu was 12 years old, his father died of illness, so he inherited his father's title. He is over years old and is known as the youngest Lord."

Zhou Xinyue nodded and said, "He is so young but he is able to manage a peaceful area. He seems to be an extraordinary person."

Yuan Mao said: "You said he is not simple, sometimes he speaks like a spring breeze. But you said he is very kind, but sometimes he gets angry and overpowers everyone."

The Seventh Uncle smiled and said, "As the lord of a city, you must have your own dignity."

Yuan Mao said, "In fact, the prince has dealt with the city lord before about your matter. The city lord did not object nor did he make a clear statement of agreement at that time. So this time, everyone should meet the city lord together and make a good impression. This way, Lady Yue will be able to gain a foothold in Meizhi City in the future."

The Seventh Uncle smiled and said, "Who wouldn't be confused by my Lady Yue? Everyone likes her. Master Yuan, don't you think so?"

Yuan Mao smiled and glanced at Zhou Xinyue, who was very happy and said, "Of course, who doesn't like a woman like Yueliangzi?"

Zhou Xinyue couldn't help but turn her head away in embarrassment and said, "Thank you, Master Yuan, for your kind words."
