The Liu Family and the Yang Family have always had a consistent approach: they do not ask their children how they performed on exams.
Because regardless of whether the results are good or bad, the exams have already concluded, and the outcomes are set in stone. Asking about it would only add unnecessary pressure.
As the wedding date of Yang Yichen and Liu Qingxi approaches, the festive atmosphere surrounding the Yang Family and Liu Family grows increasingly vibrant.
The Yang Family is adorned with decorations everywhere, and smiles have not left the faces of the Wen Family. Their son is finally getting married, and to Liu Qingxi, whom they regard as their own daughter, it is indeed a double joy.
In Ten Li Pu, early March brings melting ice and the return of spring.
A long caravan departs from Ten Li Pu, heading south. They pass through various places, experiencing different customs and cultures that open the eyes of those who have never traveled far.
Their destination is the capital city.
After half a month of bumpy travel, they are close to reaching the capital.
For many in Ten Li Pu, this is their first journey away from home, and arriving in the capital—the most prosperous political center of Western Moon—fills them with excitement but also some trepidation.
The capital is a place they dared only to dream about. They never imagined they would actually come here; it felt like a fantasy because they never believed it could be realized.
Stepping onto this land, they find themselves immersed in a dizzying dreamlike state.
Is the land of the capital really paved with gold and silver? According to its residents, everyone here is either rich or noble. As ordinary poor folk, will they be allowed entry? Will they...
Despite their anxieties, they have finally arrived in the capital.
Gazing at the towering city gates and the imposing soldiers, they feel a sense of awe as if facing someone of great importance.
The leader, dressed in a black satin spring shirt, had his hair styled high and sat upright in the first carriage.
"Village Chief, are we heading into the city now?" the young man driving the carriage asked from inside.
In the carriage behind, Ten Li Pu and Liu Qingxi's acquaintances also leaned out, eagerly looking at the first carriage, clearly expecting Zhang Wuliang to be their leader.
Zhang Wuliang sat upright, not admitting that he was feeling a bit nervous at the moment. He took a deep breath and steadied his voice: "Let's head into the city!"
At the city gate, two men in blue uniform Guard outfits looked on eagerly. Upon seeing the long convoy, they quickly walked over to greet them.
"But Zhang Village Chief?" The two men did not recognize the driver and approached the carriage to inquire about the person inside.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted from within, revealing a rugged face. The middle-aged man in black exuded a strong aura: "That's me."
"Zhang Village Chief, hello. Young Master Yang sent us to pick you up. Please follow me into the city."
It turned out that anticipating Ten Li Pu's convoy would arrive in a few days, Yang Yichen had already arranged for people to wait at South City Gate Tower. Upon seeing someone resembling them, they came forward to inquire and were responsible for escorting them to the capital.
"Thank you, gentlemen." Zhang Wuliang did not expect Yang Yichen to be so considerate.
Indeed, Liu Qingxi was fortunate; perhaps the hardships endured in his early years were meant to accumulate luck, leading to a beautiful fate with Yang Yichen.
"Zhang Village Chief, my young master and Miss Liu have been quite busy these past few days and couldn't come personally to welcome you. The young master asked me to convey his apologies."
"No, no, it's fine." Zhang Wuliang waved his hand; having such a reception exceeded their expectations.
"Chief Zhang, we have now reached our destination. The young master has prepared accommodations for you. You must be tired from your journey, so please take a moment to rest. Over the next few days, the young master has arranged for me to show you around the capital."
"Alright, Lord Yang is indeed very considerate," Zhang Wuliang replied with a smile and a nod.
After all, it was a rare opportunity for them to visit, so they should make the most of exploring the streets of the capital.
Compared to the large cities they passed through on their way, the splendor of the capital was unmatched. The shops lining both sides of the road were all exquisitely decorated, with a steady stream of customers.
In comparison, Biqi Town's mostly gray houses seemed insignificant.
Perhaps only the Six-Story Restaurant built by Liu Qingxi could rival it.
The carriage rolled smoothly along the wide Main Road paved with Bluestone Slabs in the capital, and the bustling scene was captivating, as if they were in a dream.
Along the way, with the introduction from two Guards, Zhang Wuliang gained some understanding of the streets they passed.
After a moment, the carriage stopped in front of an unusual house: "This is the house built by Miss Liu last year. It has not been occupied or sold yet. The young master has asked you to rest here first."
Zhang Wuliang glanced around at the house and nodded with squinted eyes: "Alright, thank you." Just one look at this house told him without thinking that it was Liu Qingxi's work.
Because any house with such unique design and innovative layout must be Liu Qingxi's creativity.
Otherwise, if it were someone else's work, this type of architecture would have appeared many years ago.
"Then Chief Zhang, we won't disturb you any longer. In the evening, the young master and Miss Liu will personally host you."
"Understood, we can understand that both of you are busy. You can go ahead and take care of your tasks; we can manage here ourselves." The house was bright and clean, with a well-arranged interior. The desk was spotless, and the large bed was covered with pink bedding that the girl liked.
At this moment, the long line of carriages had arrived, and those accompanying them quickly got off, following Zhang Wuliang's instructions to find their respective rooms and unpack their belongings.
In the quiet new house, ever since winning the bet against Lin Shuhong, many had tried various means to take over the property but were rejected by Liu Qingxi for different reasons.
In the charming courtyard, it was March, and the temperature was warming up. However, after enduring the cold winter, everything still looked somewhat desolate.
Having traveled a long distance, they were already exhausted and had no energy left for meticulous tidying up. The bumpy journey had left them feeling sore.
Upon seeing the comfortable large bed, they couldn't resist sitting down. They flopped onto it, rolling around twice before falling into a deep sleep in less than three seconds.
In the suburbs, Liu Qingxi looked at the nearly completed foundation with great satisfaction because she had once again accomplished what others deemed impossible through her own efforts.
"Everyone, let's put in some extra effort! Once we finish this, we can all take a good rest for a few days!"
As soon as Liu Qingxi finished speaking, the workers erupted in cheers.
These days off had excited them immensely; they had been digging foundations all day long, covered in dirt, and were eager to treat themselves afterward.
At that moment, a young man dressed in white approached slowly. His white clothing was as pure as snow, his lips curled slightly in a smile. His voice was gentle yet magnetic: "Xier, I need to talk to you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxi quickly explained to the workers nearby: "I have something to attend to, so I'll step away for a bit. Once you finish your current tasks, you can all head home and take a good rest."
