Chapter 358 Harvest Chapter
At the end of October, after nearly two months of trekking, Meixiang and her companions finally arrived at Fuzhou, a provincial capital with distinct ethnic characteristics.
Fuzhou is located at the outermost edge of the capital's economic circle. The advantage of its geographical location has allowed this provincial capital to remain simple while being influenced by the capital, allowing the people to live a comfortable and easy life.
"Madam, you came at a very fortuitous time. We are holding this year's Harvest Festival in Fuzhou these days. Tomorrow is the main day and the city will be very lively. You can go for a stroll." The official in charge of the post station suggested.
Half a month ago, the city lord sent someone to tell them again and again that if they stayed at the post station, they must be well served and nothing must go wrong. He also asked someone to help clean and repair the post station carefully inside and out.
Although the visitors did not reveal the specific identities of the group to him, the elaborate preparations were something that had never been done before, so he worked extra hard to entertain them.
"Oh, how do you celebrate?" asked the beautiful woman sitting at the top. As they walked, her condition had visibly improved. Her personality became more cheerful and her smile became more sincere.
When she was in Liuzhou Prefecture, she was beautiful, but in Meixiang's eyes, it was a kind of ethereal beauty, empty, like a portrait of a lady. But now she has a touch of fireworks, real and vivid.
This is also what Meixiang wanted, and it is also what she likes most.
The official looked at everyone in the room happily without saying a word.
"What's fun? Can you tell me in detail?" Little Seventeen, who was leaning on the left side of the beautiful woman, asked anxiously with his big round eyes, "Are there any jugglers?"
"Are there still operas?" Little Eighteen, who was holding the beautiful woman's right arm, asked unyieldingly, "The kind that has a tall wooden stage, with people putting on makeup and singing in a humming voice?"
When they were in Liuzhou Prefecture, the four gentlemen would occasionally tell Xiao Shiba and the others who stayed by their side stories about the outside world, the local customs and habits, and anecdotes when they had free time.
As Mr. Shi became interested and sang, singing opera in the temple fair became their deepest yearning. So when they heard the postman's words, they couldn't wait to ask.
Facing the children's sparkling eyes, the postman nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah!" The children cheered immediately after receiving a positive answer.
"Mother, mother, little Eighteen wants to go and take a look, can I?" Little Eighteen shook the beautiful woman's arm and acted coquettishly. Little Seventeen, who was standing on the other side, was not to be outdone. She boldly imitated her brother Eighteen and gently shook her other arm.
Over the years, the children learned how to manipulate the adults, and within the principles, everyone in the Liu family was willing to pamper the little ones, so the beautiful woman at this time had already been swayed by the two little ones.
"Okay, okay, go ahead. Let me take you all with me." The beautiful woman smiled and patted the two children, agreeing repeatedly, "But there will definitely be a lot of people there, so don't run around. Follow me closely and be sure to pay attention to your own safety."
He turned to Xiao San who was standing behind Mei Xiang and instructed: "Xiao San, you and Mei Ying should work harder and arrange a few people to look after them. Also, go to Nanny to get some money and buy them some snacks. It's a rare occasion to see something lively."
"Okay, I'll thank Madam on behalf of the kids." Xiao San smiled and thanked her upon hearing that.
Then she waved to Little Seventeen and Little Eighteen, "It's getting late. Third Sister will take you downstairs to rest. Go to bed early and get enough rest so you can have fun tomorrow, right?"
The little ones nodded repeatedly, and happily followed me downstairs to wash and go to bed, smiling in their sleep.
"Madam, do you need me to arrange guards to look after the young masters and young ladies tomorrow?" Seeing the attitude of the group of people towards the children, the post officer thought for a moment and asked with a bow.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. They are used to living in the countryside and are not that pampered. Even if it is difficult for them to come out, you cannot restrict them too much." The beautiful woman shook her head and politely declined the post officer's kindness.
Firstly, they didn't want them to be too conspicuous. Going out with a group of people was not the style of the Liu family. Secondly, the people of Haoyue were simple and honest, and the children were not particularly naughty, so it would be enough for Meiying to arrange someone to keep a close eye on them.
Who would have thought that they had already been targeted by someone, and a tight net had been set up long ago to wait for them to enter the game.
The next day, the little ones got up early, got themselves dressed, and chattered, unable to wait to go out and join in the fun.
"Mother, you and Mammy should come with us to see the fun. I'm afraid it will be hard to happen to encounter their harvest festival again in the future."
After breakfast, Meixiang looked at the beautiful woman beside her and suggested softly.
"Aunt, what Sister Xiang'er said is right. Due to Fuzhou's geographical location, the people living here, their clothing, and their food are very different from those in other places. Now that I'm here, I must take a look."
Feng Yizhen saw the beautiful woman's hesitation and naturally joined the lobbying. For sixteen or seventeen years, the most noble woman in the entire Haoyue Dynasty had been living in the small Liu Mansion for the sake of her family, country and daughter, rarely stepping out of the courtyard, wasting her best years.
Returning to the capital, this beautiful woman might enter another "cage" and continue to guard her duties. This is also one of the main reasons why they accompanied her patiently along the way, wanting to fulfill their filial piety for Meixiang and to make up for the Haoyue royal family and the people.
Hearing this, the beautiful woman turned to look at Nanny Chen who was standing beside her refilling her tea, "Li Niang, shall we go take a look?"
Nanny Chen first glanced at Meixiang and the other children, then laughed, "Since it is the young lady and the gentlemen's sincere intention, the young lady should take me with you to broaden your horizons and see what is the difference between Fuzhou and other places."
Finally getting the beautiful lady's approval, Meiying and Xiaosan happily hurried to arrange vehicles and manpower.
Half an hour later, Meixiang and her group moved as a group, getting on their own carriages and heading towards the city.
Before arriving at the city, we could already see from afar a long queue of people waiting to enter the city at the city gate.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa."
“Are there really so many people?”
"Look, look, what is that?"
In the carriage, the children would occasionally scream when they saw something rare and chatter about it.
When they were within twenty feet of the gate of Fuzhou Prefecture, the carriage could no longer move. If they wanted to drive the carriage directly into the city, they had to use the identity tokens of Meixiang and her group.
"Mother, what do you think we should do?" Meixiang looked quite distressed.
