General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming - Chapter 174

174 The Su Family in the Capital (1)

Fifteen minutes later, the group embarked on the journey to the prefecture capital.

With the addition of one big and three small ones, a carriage clearly could not accommodate them.

Liu Ping drove the donkey cart to town.

The three little ones liked to take the donkey cart. After all, it was their own donkey and the feeling of attachment was different. Moreover, the donkey cart was open. It was cool to sit in it!

!!
They wanted to sit with their mother! As a result, Su Xiaoxiao was pulled onto the donkey cart.

The family of five was neat. On the other hand, Liu Ping was squeezed out and sat in the carriage.

The donkey kicked off and left!

Manager Sun looked at the donkey running away and suspected that he was seeing things. “Did you actually buy a donkey?”

Why was it faster than his horse?

After going to town, Su Xiaoxiao found the dealership and hired another carriage.

Seeing that there was only the carriage and no coachman, Wei Ting asked, “Where’s the coachman?”

“He’s far away but right in front of you.” With that, Su Xiaoxiao handed Wei Ting a horsewhip.

Lord Wei was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “Hiring a coachman costs money. It’s not cheap. It’s 80 copper coins a day and there’s food and accommodation. Let’s save as much as we can! Right, Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu?”

The three little ones nodded.

Xiaohu clenched his fists and said, “We have to save money!”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at someone. “I think you know a lot about horses. You should… know how to drive a carriage, right?”

Look, she even used provocation.

What could Wei Ting say?

If he had known, he would have sold pancakes on the streets.

Wei Ting drove the carriage through the city with a handsome face.

This was much more exposed than selling pancakes.

Hence, after the pastry man, Xi Shi, there was another carriage man, Zhao Jun, in Apricot Flower Town.

The carriages left Apricot Flower Town and drove onto the official road to the prefecture city. On both sides of the road were endless rice fields.

There was still half a month before the planting of the early rice. The rice field was bare and barren like a desert.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that there was nothing to see, but the three little ones squeezed their heads out of the carriage window one by one.

“Mother, what is that?”

“Weed.”

“That!”

“Birch tree.”

“Birch tree.”

“The one beside is not a white birch tree. It’s a camphor tree.”

Xiaohu was the most talkative and asked all the way.

Occasionally, Dahu and Erhu would ask a few questions. Su Xiaoxiao was very patient.

Wei Ting snorted and continued to be the coachman for Su Xiaoxiao and the three children.

When the little fellows went out in the morning, they seemed to be on steroids. They could not take it anymore in the afternoon. They were listless and yawned one after another.

“Are you sleepy?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The three of them shook their heads. “I’m not sleepy.”

In the next second, they fell asleep.

After a day of long journey, they arrived at the prefecture city at sunset.

This time, they were not staying at Yuelai Inn.

Manager Sun opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Su Xiaoxiao, “The place where they were going to worship the ancestors is on Half Moon Mountain. Let’s head seven to eight miles east. There’s an inn there, near Half Moon Mountain.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “That place doesn’t seem to be far from Grandmaster Hui Jue’s nunnery?”

Manager Sun said, “Yes, it’s much closer than going to the nunnery from Yue Lai Inn. Are you going to visit Grandmaster Hui Jue this time?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded. Not to mention that Aunt Fu had asked her to bring something, she had also promised Grandmaster Hui Jue that if she came to the prefecture city again, she would go to the nunnery to see her.

“Are you going tonight?” Manager Sun asked.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the dark sky. “No, it’s too late today. Let’s do it another day after we finish our business.”

Manager Sun said, “Alright.”

She would focus on doing business first and visit after she was done.

Since she had brought the three little fellows out, she had to stroll around the prefecture city.

It was not easy for children to come out and explore.

The inn they checked into was called the Half Moon Mountain Inn. Compared to the Yuelai Inn, the conditions were a little worse. This time, it was not that Manager Sun wanted to save money, but that there was only one inn nearby.

Moreover, because a large family was going to worship their ancestors, the rooms were already full.

“Is… is there not a single room left?” Manager Sun asked.

The innkeeper looked up at him and then at Su Xiaoxiao. He sized her up and asked, “Are you Miss Su?”

“I am,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “Do you know me?”

The innkeeper revealed a polite smile. “Grandmaster Hui Jue mentioned you to me. You’re… quite easy to recognize.”

“Just say that I’m fat!”

The innkeeper said amiably, “Grandmaster asked me to reserve four rooms for you. Do you think it’s enough?”
