Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Once they reached the top of the mountain, building a snow house became much easier. Snow Young Master, who simply thought it was fun, even built a circle of ice and snow wall around it. Xue Chongzi was not to be outdone, so he built a few steps at the entrance. The two of them even staggered the exit of the outer wall and the exit of the snow house a little bit to prevent the wind. Jiang Xinxin could only give her a thumbs up when she saw this.

Even though Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi have martial arts skills, they cannot ski in one go. So Jiang Xinxin chose a relatively flat place for them to get used to it first. The most important thing was to improve their reaction ability so that their brains would not freeze when they rushed down and cause accidents.

Fortunately, Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi are both very smart people. Even though they seem to lack common sense due to their isolation, they are still very good at learning. After trying three or two times, they can slide well. Jiang Xinxin then took them to the route she had taken down the mountain before, made preparations, and took them to slide directly down the mountain.

No matter how high this snow mountain is, even if it takes two hours to climb up, it only takes two quarters of an hour to go down the mountain. Along the way, Xue Zhongzi and Xue Gongzi couldn't help shouting and yelling. Jiang Xinxin was still able to keep calm, but their voices soon attracted the attention of the people in the Snow Palace, and even people in the Flower Palace and Moon Palace next door noticed their voices.

The back mountain of the Old Dust Valley is so quiet that the elders of the four palaces of Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon don’t even marry, and their inheritance is all from orphans picked up from outside and raised from a young age.

Jiang Xinxin had just arrived here and didn't know the situation in the back mountain, so she just thought that their only rule was that they could not leave the valley, and she had limited sympathy for them. If it wasn't for the purpose of exploring the sealed area, she would probably get bored of staying in this Snow Palace after a few days.

But Jiang Xinxin's arrival seemed to open another door for Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi. They were reluctant to tear down the snow house on the top of the mountain and even wanted to spend the night in the snow house on the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, although Jiang Xinxin had a mission to accomplish, she was not in a hurry and did not wander around right away. This made Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi trust her more, and they even informed their father, Elder Xue, of her existence.

Elder Xue was the softest-hearted among the three elders. Although he had some thoughts when he first heard Master Xue and Master Xue say that Jiang Xinxin climbed up from the cliff at the back, but with the guarantee of Xue Chongzi and Master Xue, and seeing that Jiang Xinxin did not wander around, he acquiesced to Jiang Xinxin staying in the back mountain.

Elder Xue is an old man himself, but he has also been through childhood and understands young people's desire for the outside world, so he does not forbid Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi from understanding and being curious about things in the outside world. He even hopes that Jiang Xinxin can stay for a while longer so that Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi will not have so many regrets when they think about it in the future.

It would be best if Xue Chongzi or Xue Gongzi could marry Jiang Xinxin. After all, there is only one Elder Xue in the Xue Palace, and the remaining one does not have to abide by any rules that prohibit marriage.

The more Elder Xue thought about it, the happier he felt. He even included some things for girls in the supplies he sent to the front mountain. However, there were also women among the people working in the back mountain, so they did not attract the attention of the front mountain for the time being.

If there was one thing that Jiang Xinxin was most uncomfortable with, it would be the daily diet of Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi.

The two of them need to guard the trial ground of the Snow Palace, and this place is of great importance, so they are the only two here on a daily basis. The clothes can be delivered every one or two months, but it is not convenient for the servants to come here every day to prepare daily food. What's more, the servants can only get close to the periphery on specific days and cannot come to where Xue Chongzi and others live at all.

Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi only knew how to cook porridge and tea on a daily basis. Although the tea and porridge were added with snow lotus, a specialty of the mountain behind the Snow Palace, which was especially good for the body, not to mention the convenience of takeout in modern society, when she was in the previous world, she ate all over Xueyue City, the outside world, and the entire northern region of Beili.

No matter how rare these snow lotus porridge and snow lotus tea were, she could still accept them for one or two days, and she was too embarrassed to ask for more for three or five days. But after more than half a month had passed and they were still having these two things, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

"How about we quietly go down the mountain and buy some things? I really can't stand this bland food."

Xue Chongzi and Xue Gongzi finally made a friend from outside, and these days they have been living on Jiang Xinxin's stories, so Jiang Xinxin almost always responds to their requests.

Mr. Xue was simple-minded and lively. He raised his hand and responded, "Okay, okay. We just need to be careful to bypass those guards!"

Although Xue Zhongzi's determination was shaky, he was calmer than Master Xue and said insincerely, "I'm afraid it won't work. The guards are not only in our back mountain, the guards in the front mountain are even stricter..."

Master Xue immediately objected: "That's not right, I heard that Master Yu from the Yu Palace in the front mountain often sneaks out with his guard to play!"

When Xue Zhongzi heard this, the persistence in his heart was like a spider thread, which would break at the slightest breeze. Xue Gongzi continued, "Besides, someone once said he would take us out to play. We don't want him to take us. We can go by ourselves."

Xue Zhongzi immediately changed his mind: "That's right, we are not going there to play, we are going to find Gongzi Yu to find out why he broke his promise."

Master Xue jumped up happily and said, "That's right, we are going to find Master Yu to ask for clarification. It just so happens that he has gone down the mountain, so we have no choice but to do so!"

Wow! Jiang Xinxin watched the whole thing and couldn’t help but give them two thumbs up.

"But it's still daylight now. If we go out, we'll be a very clear target. Why don't we wait until after dark? We have some time now, so we can change our clothes. We can't keep using this bright white. Instead of black, we should use something darker like dark blue or dark green."

Well, that makes sense.

Master Xue volunteered to go to the Snow Palace to get clothes for everyone, and Xue Chongzi began to ask Jiang Xinxin what to prepare when going down the mountain to the town.

Jiang Xinxin saw that the two poor children's daily clothes were not bad, in fact very good, but they probably had never seen gold, silver, copper coins or silver notes.

Jiang Xinxin said, "You need to prepare silver and money for buying and selling things. Small expenses usually use copper coins or silver or gold ingots, and large expenses require silver notes, because gold, silver, or copper coins are not easy to carry with you if the amount is large."

"But tonight we are going down the mountain to buy food and spices. There aren't many things, but I have some ways to bring enough gold and silver ingots. If you want to buy things, be prepared to give 20 or 30 taels of silver. Anyway, we all know martial arts, so we can just cut as much silver as we need."

Jiang Xinxin showed Xue Zhongzi the gold and silver ingots in her space, and Xue Zhongzi really felt that he had broadened his horizons. The gold and silver he had seen were mostly decorations on clothes, belts, and hairbands, and he had never seen gold and silver ingots that were directly used to buy things.

Meanwhile, Elder Xue soon heard about Young Master Xue going to the Snow Palace to ask for three sets of dark blue clothes. Elder Xue thought that today was the day when the palace would welcome the bride, and if the three of them were really capable of sneaking out, then it would not be impossible for him to let them go out and play once, and he even considerately blocked the news for them.
