Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

After Zhou Xinyue put it on, Erdan and Grandma Li were surprised and said, "Dan girl, this outfit really suits you. You look so heroic, just like those handsome young men. It's really nice."

Zhou Xinyue didn't care about that and said happily, "I don't care whether it looks good or not, I just want to get out of here quickly. Let's go, let's go, don't let the mistress wait anxiously."

Everyone went out together in a lively manner.

There were two small carriages, one for the mistress and Grandma Li, one for Zhou Xinyue and Erdan, and the others were either driving horses, riding horses, or walking, about seventeen or eighteen people in total.

Grandma Li came over and said, "Dan girl, the lady wants to ask you if you want to rent a carriage from her?"

Zhou Xinyue was naturally unwilling in her heart. She was so happy chatting and laughing with Erdan, but she would definitely not be able to let go with the Madam. So she said sadly, "Grandma Li, I am often sad in my heart. If I can't help but talk about the past in front of the Madam, I am afraid that it will bring more sadness to the Madam. I finally came out, and I just hope that the Madam can be more relaxed and happy. The Madam is old, and I sincerely hope that she can be happier and less sad, which will be better for her health."

Grandma Li nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, that's right. The lady couldn't stop crying when she thought of those things. Dan girl, you have grown up and become sensible. I am so happy. Well, then you can stay with Erdan. If you need anything, just tell me. There is water and dry food in the carriage. If you are hungry or thirsty, just eat. I will go first."

The two girls nodded vigorously.

Zhou Xinyue lowered the curtain on the carriage, and Erdan couldn't help but say, "Goudan, you have really grown up and become much more sensible. There is really no trace of your past self left at all."

Zhou Xinyue gave a guilty smile and stopped talking.

Finally they set off. Zhou Xinyue and her group passed through the bustling streets. The streets outside were so lively with people selling vegetables, dolls, firewood, food, clothes and daily necessities. People were coming and going, and the lively laughter of the children chasing each other made Zhou Xinyue unable to take her eyes away from the outside of the car.

Zhou Xinyue stared at the bustling street market, feeling very happy. She was thinking that one day she must become independent, move out of the house, live on her own and make her own decisions about her life.

The group gradually walked out of the city, and both sides of the city gate were filled with soldiers guarding the gate.

We got out of the city gate very smoothly. There were still people coming and going outside the city. Many were trading horses, and many were carrying the pork they had just bought, going home happily. The carriage moved forward slowly, and Erdan handed us some water and a piece of peach cake.

Zhou Xinyue continued to look at the scenery outside the window. She took a bite of the peach cake in her hand and spit it out, saying, "Sister, I don't want it. It's too sweet. I don't like sweets."

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue continued to look out the window happily. Suddenly, Zhou Xinyue noticed from the corner of her eye that Erdan was looking at her with strange eyes.

Zhou Xinyue turned around and said with a smile: "What's wrong, sister!"

Erdan said doubtfully, "You used to like eating this the most. You didn't like anything else but this peach cake, and you especially liked the ones I made. Don't you like this peach cake anymore?"

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "Maybe my brain was injured and I forgot everything. Since it was made by my sister, I will eat it."

Zhou Xinyue took it and put it in her mouth, tasting it carefully. It was sweet and crispy. In fact, it tasted really good, and it had a unique fragrance, which was very pleasant.

Zhou Xinyue said happily, "Wow, it's delicious. The scenery outside must have confused my eyes and my stomach just now. Now I realize that this peach cake is really different. The taste is incomparable. It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, and has a light fragrance. It smells very good. Sister, your cooking skills are really great."

Erdan smiled and said, "This is what godmother taught us, you forgot. This fragrance is also the unique peach cake made by godmother using osmanthus and motherwort. This is your favorite."

Zhou Xinyue sighed: "She, I mean my mother is really a talented woman."

Erdan said proudly: "Of course, it's the only one in the world."

Zhou Xinyue suddenly had an idea and said, "You mean, this flavor of peach cake is unique? Doesn't anyone else in this city make this flavor?"

Erdan continued proudly, "Of course, it's one of a kind in the world. No one else can make this flavor."

Zhou Xinyue said happily, "That's simply great. Oh my god, this is a way to make money sent by God! Sister, this is the source of income for us to live independently in the future! Hehehe! That's great. With this skill, are you still worried about not being able to find a job? That's great, very good!"

Erdan frowned and said, "What? Wei Ergude? What?"

Zhou Xinyue put her hand on Erdan's shoulder and said, "We won't have to worry about going hungry anymore. You're a little genius!"

Erdan looked confused, while Zhou Xinyue smiled happily.

They had unknowingly walked into a dense forest. As the road was too long and too steep, the mistress' body was jolted too hard, so they had to stop the car urgently and the convoy paused.

Zhou Xinyue lifted the car curtain and asked, "What's wrong?"

The entourage outside told Zhou Xinyue about the situation. Zhou Xinyue was worried about the mistress's health and hurriedly got out of the car to see her.

Sure enough, the lady was vomiting beside the carriage, and Grandma Li was handing her water.

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly said, "What's wrong, Madam, are you feeling better?"

The lady hurriedly sat on a small bench and said helplessly, "Alas, I am old and useless. I can't bear it after sitting in the car for a few hours. It's like a raging sea here. It makes me feel sick and uncomfortable."

Zhou Xinyue said worriedly, "Yes, this kind of motion sickness is very uncomfortable, I can understand."

Grandma Li asked worriedly, "Are you carsick? I remember that you didn't get carsick before."

Zhou Xinyue reacted, yes, she used to suffer from motion sickness, but now Goudan is no longer motion sick, she is so happy.

Zhou Xinyue said quickly, "I didn't feel sick before, but I can understand how uncomfortable it feels to be in a carriage. Madam, you should have a good rest. I will go find you a flower that can relieve the nausea caused by motion sickness. Please wait for me for a while."

The mistress said hurriedly, "Don't run too far. I'll get someone to help you."

Zhou Xinyue said hurriedly: "No, Madam, that flower is easy to find. You take a rest first, I will be back soon."

Grandma Li also said, "Dan girl, just walk around nearby. If there's nothing there, forget it. Don't run too far. Come back quickly."

Zhou Xinyue replied as she ran: "Okay, I understand."

Grandma Li couldn't help but say while taking care of the lady, "Oh, if I had known earlier, we would have gone to Xihua Temple, or Nanhua Temple, or at worst Beihua Temple. Donghua Temple is the farthest of the four temples, and it makes the lady suffer so much. I feel really sad."

The lady said, "You deserve a slap on the mouth. Stop saying such things. Other temples are too popular and there are too many families lining up to hold sacrifices. Some have already lined up for three months. Only the Donghua Temple, which is a little further away, allowed us to postpone the ceremony because of their friendship with the master. I am very grateful. Don't say such bad things again. Do you hear me?"

Grandma Li quickly clapped her hands and said, "Madam, you are right. It is me who talked too much."
