Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

"of course!"

Bai Zhi looked at the blank envelope on the table, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she said, "I'll go with you."

"Ah?" Qiaoqiao almost jumped up when she heard it, "Sister, you are worried about me!"

"That's not what I meant." Bai Zhi waved her hand quickly, "Your elder brother Yun happens to be in Ningzhou too. When I get there, I will go my own way and definitely not follow you."

When Chu Yunchuan was mentioned, Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered her lover who was also far away in Ningzhou. She blushed and whispered, "I... I will also go to find Brother Yuanshan."

When Bai Zhi saw Qiaoqiao's expression, she knew that she must have been thinking only about building the city wall and had forgotten Qiao Yuanshan, so she immediately burst into laughter without mercy. Qiaoqiao's face became hot because of her laughter, and she raised her voice in shame and anger: "I... I'm going to complain to my mother! I won't take you with me!"

——Then it took Bai Zhi a whole cup of tea to finally coax this ancestor into submission.

Ningzhou is a long way away, and the round trip, plus the time spent there, would take at least one or two months. While her mother was forcing her and Qiaoqiao to drink tonic medicine to recuperate, Baizhi was also making some preparations.

Writing a letter to Chu Yunchuan, packing bags, taking care of everyone at home, and saying hello to several old friends in Qing County were not difficult. There was only one thing that made Bai Zhi scratch her head - Lin Chuqi.

The autumn examination was approaching, and those scholars who were preparing for the exam were already anxious. With her and Qiaoqiao leaving, Lin Chuqi didn't even have anyone to talk to or make fun of at home - he couldn't just let him chat with his busy mother all day.

Bai Zhi felt a headache just thinking about Lin Chuqi's dark face after she found out about this.

So the next afternoon, she went to the school gate to pick up Lin Chuqi. Showing her courtesy first would make things easier for her.

Unexpectedly, before she even started to show her courtesy, Lin Chuqi came over quickly after seeing her and said in a serious tone, "I want to go too!"

Bai Zhi didn't react for a moment: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Ningzhou with you guys." Lin Chuqi said, "Qiaoqiao told me about this this morning. I want to go to Ningzhou too."

"Wait a minute." Bai Zhi scratched her eyebrows. She was really surprised. She thought it was okay to take Lin Chuqi out for a walk, but the Autumn Examination was approaching, and Lin Chuqi was actually willing to go out for fun at this critical moment. "What's going on?"

Unfortunately, Lin Chuqi obviously didn't want to say more, and only urged: "When are you leaving? I will pack my luggage tonight."

"..."

This time, there was one more person who wanted to drink the tonic.

Seven days later, Bai Zhi packed her bags and took her two children to get on the horse-drawn carriage that brought them from the capital. Before leaving, Lin Ruogui held the hands of the three and gave them instructions one by one, repeating the same words about eating well, sleeping well, and being safe. After Lin Ruogui finished speaking, it was Bai Zhi's turn. She held the hand of the maid who was waiting beside her and said seriously: "Yingtang, during this period of time, I will rely on you to take care of my mother. Just do as I told you yesterday, and turn off the lights and candles at midnight. If the master scolds you, you can move me out."

Lin Ruogui: “…”

The maid's eyes were filled with tears: "Miss Zhi, don't worry, I will serve the master wholeheartedly, and you must return safely."

"Do not worry."

Lin Chuqi interjected, "And Dahei, he loves to eat carrots and potatoes, so you need to feed him more."

The maid nodded vigorously.

Lin Ruogui looked at the two half-grown children and still felt uneasy, so he asked Bai Zhi, "Azhi, did you bring enough money?"

Bai Zhi patted her chest and said proudly, "One hundred taels is enough for a stroll for half a year."

"One hundred taels?" Qiaoqiao was surprised, "Sister, so much?"

"A poor family can be rich on the road, so it's always a good idea to take more." Bai Zhi saw that the sun was almost setting, and if she was any later she would miss the next town to stay overnight. She was just about to sit in the coachman's seat, but unexpectedly a dark figure flashed onto the carriage faster than her, and sat upright, waiting for Bai Zhi's order.

Bai Zhi: "..."

He was the most considerate among the secret guards who had been protecting her diligently, but his considerateness seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi were also confused, and they all looked at Baizhi. Baizhi stared at the dark guard for a while, then cleared her throat and said, "I'm going to find your master this time, not to go through fire and water, so you don't need an escort."

The old guard shook his head like a rattle: "Miss Bai, if we let you go, His Highness will definitely blame us later, so just think of it as a kind gesture. My brothers and I have discussed it, and I will be the only one to follow you and give you a hand. I can drive and cook, and I can serve you and the two young masters, and I won't get in the way of your business."

Having said that, Bai Zhi couldn't refuse any longer and had to agree.

A quarter of an hour later, with the sound of a long whip breaking through the air, the carriage slowly started up.

The secret guard's name was Cheng Mingmao, and he was an excellent driver. Bai Zhi didn't feel any shaking at all when she sat in this broken carriage. Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi had planned to sleep right after getting in the car, but they didn't expect it to be so stable, so they started chatting.

"I knew you would come." Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows and said as if she had expected it. "Sister, guess what I said?"

Before Bai Zhi could speak, Qiaoqiao continued: "I said, Ningzhou has crispy paper candies, stove-baked steamed buns, pig blood cakes, and the three most beautiful stone formations in the south. That is a legendary formation that the White Tiger Army spent several months to build. It is very effective in resisting the barbarians. If you don't see it once, you will regret it in your life. You see, after I said that, Chuqi is tempted, right?"

Bai Zhi: "..."

She always felt that Chuqi couldn't be fooled so easily.

As expected, Lin Chuqi said expressionlessly: "It has nothing to do with these. I just listened to the teacher's advice."

Qiaoqiao: “Ah?”

Bai Zhi: "Listen to the Master's advice?"

"I asked Qiaoqiao before, how to be cautious when studying and doing things, but this living ancestor only told me -" Lin Chuqi rolled his eyes at Qiaoqiao, "She said she didn't know either, so I came with her this time."

Qiaoqiao: "What? Don't blame me. How can this be related to you?"

Lin Chuqi: "Of course it is related. After that conversation, I went to report to the teacher the next day. The teacher said that you have a pure heart and asked me to learn more from you." He patted the carriage board, "So this time I followed you and learned more from you."

Bai Zhi: “………………”

No matter how you look at it, this kid seems to be stuck in a dead end.

Qiaoqiao was even more shocked: "Are you out of your mind?"

Lin Chuqi: “…”

Seeing that the two children were about to quarrel again, Bai Zhi hurriedly intervened: "Well, well, people always need to travel and see the world. As the old saying goes, enjoy life while you can. Once you pass the imperial examination, you won't have such a free life."

Qiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "Let me be frank. I'm on a business trip. Please don't get in the way."

Lin Chuqi turned his head and said, "So much nonsense."

Bai Zhi: "..."

God bless her, this trip gave her ears some peace and quiet.
