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

Qiaoqiao: “Really?”

Lin Chuqi: "Then Sanfu...how do elder sister and elder brother address each other?"

"Since we are just playing house, we should call each other by our given names. But too many people in the capital know the name Gu Yan, so to avoid any trouble, I have to give him a nickname. Um... worrying about the world but optimistic about the world, the next sentence is..."

The two children added in unison: "Why not sing about this cloud river!"

Bai Zhi patted Gu Yan's shoulder and smiled mischievously: "Just call me Achuan."

Achuan.

The expression that was unique to a romantic scholar on Gu Yan's face suddenly shattered, and the true nature of Chu Yunchuan was revealed from the broken gap.

Ah Chuan, look at this new satin that I bought. It has a pattern of flowers that I asked the embroiderer to embroider... Where are the flowers? Oops, I got the wrong one. I'll go back and change it now. Hahahaha, wait for me.

Ah Chuan, come quickly. Daddy brought some jujube paste cakes from the capital. Ask your mother to come and eat them together. After you finish eating, go to Xiwei Mountain with Daddy to hunt some game. Then let Daddy see how well you have practiced your horse riding and archery skills.

Achuan, don't be afraid. Dad is going out to fight. You and mom stay in the palace and don't go out at all. Wait for Dad to come back.

Achuan, you just stay in the palace and don't leave Changfeng at all. Mother will be back soon.

Master Achuan! It's bad! Something's happened to the prince! Hurry and run for your life with me!

Master Achuan, it is useless to stick to your principles. The princess's last wish is that you can grow up and live a peaceful life.

……

Your Highness! Go!

"...What's wrong with you? Chu Yunchuan, are you okay?"

Gu Yan came back to his senses all of a sudden. Bai Zhi was waving her hands in front of him with some concern. He smiled and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

Bai Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Well...if you don't want this alias, I'll change it for you."

"This nickname is very good." Gu Yan said, "My parents call me that."

But Chu Yunchuan's parents had already... and ended up like that... Bai Zhi cursed herself for having good intentions but doing bad things, and always hurting people's hearts. She also said something good, maybe she didn't want to embarrass her. Thinking of this, Bai Zhi quickly made amends: "Ah, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, how about calling it Mingyue, or Yutu, Yutu sounds interesting, or..."

"Bai Zhi." Gu Yan interrupted her and said in a gentle tone, "It's true. This nickname is very good. There is no need to change it. I haven't heard anyone call me like this for a long time."

Bai Zhi tried very hard to discern Gu Yan's expression, trying to see whether what he said was true or false.

After all, she had never had a father or a mother, so she really didn't understand the most complicated feelings in the world.

Gu Yan looked around and asked, "Where are Qiaoqiao and Chuqi?"

"They both ran ahead a long time ago." Bai Zhi tried to call out, "Achuan?"

This call was made carefully, as if he was holding a fragile piece of porcelain. Gu Yan lowered his voice and carefully raised the call: "I'm here."

Bai Zhi then smiled, grabbed Gu Yan's sleeve and said, "Let's go, they will run away soon."

According to Lin Chuqi, Donkey Shop Street is three miles long. People from nearby come here to buy vegetables after work, see a doctor when they are sick, and buy cloth to make clothes. There are many small shops selling food here. People often go to places where they care about quality and low prices. If someone is short of weight, once the neighbors spread the news, the business will be bleak the next day, and the third day they will have to pack up and leave. Therefore, the things sold here are ridiculously cheap. A bowl of plain noodles costs three cents, a pound of cooked pork head costs ten cents, a consultation costs two cents, and a carved copper hairpin costs fifteen cents.

The four of them first found a bank and exchanged a few coins for a handful of copper coins. Bai Zhi bought a beautiful purse for Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi, stuffed two handfuls of copper coins into it, and told them to buy whatever they liked. The two half-grown children had money in their hands, so they ran to the candied haws stall.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath of the white steam coming out of the steamed buns and boiled noodles, and she felt that her chest was filled with the smoke and became as broad as Donkey Shop Street.

"Sister! Brother!"

Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi each came running back with two strings of bright red round candied haws and stuffed them into Baizhi and Gu Yan's hands. Baizhi took a bite and shuddered at the sour taste, which made the three people around her laugh.

Lin Chuqi smiled and said, "Sister, there is a century-old donkey meat restaurant ahead. Let's go there for lunch."

Bai Zhi responded readily: "Okay!"

The storefront of the century-old donkey meat restaurant is quite plain, with only a wooden signboard reading "donkey meat" at the door. The business is quite prosperous, with a long queue of more than 30 people lining up at the door. The four of them each took a bowl of grape juice, sipped it and chatted in line under the scorching sun. After more than half an hour, it was their turn to go into the house and eat donkey meat.

There was no menu in this restaurant, and the waiter asked the customer how much he wanted to bring. Lin Chuqi explained, "He asked how many pounds of meat and offal he wanted."

"Oh, this is your first time here, sir. Our donkey meat is 20 yuan and donkey offal is 15 yuan. For the four of you, two will be enough. If you like to eat offal, you can take two."

Lin Chuqi asked, "Do I have to take it into the water?"

"If you want to eat only meat, that's fine, but our offal is really delicious. You have come all the way here, I'd be sorry if you didn't try it."

Bai Zhi asked, "Chuqi, don't you want to eat offal?"

Lin Chuqi shook her head: "I'm afraid my sister and brother won't eat it."

Gu Yan said: "That's right, Chef Xu has never cooked anything."

After Gu Yan said this, Bai Zhi remembered that Xu the chef had never used offal to cook, and offal had never appeared at family banquets. Could it be that these big families had a rule not to eat offal?

Bai Zhi glanced at Gu Yan and remembered the package of braised large intestines she gave him on his birthday.

But he was enjoying the meal so much, so he probably wouldn't mind it...

Gu Yan continued, "Don't worry, on the seventh day of the lunar new year, I don't mind eating fish, and neither does my sister. You two can order whatever you like."

The word "sister" made Bai Zhi feel a tingling sensation in her lower back. She glared at Gu Yan, and the instigator blinked twice innocently.

"Qiaoqiao, Chuqi," Bai Zhi cleared her throat and asked, "Which do you prefer, meat or offal?"

Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and said, "Meat!"

Lin Chuqi: "I choose meat too."

Bai Zhi: "Shopkeeper, two for one."

"Got it!"

After a while, the waiter brought two large plates and a bowl of dipping sauce very quickly, and said, "Sir, eat the original flavor first and then the dipping sauce."

The four of them followed suit and each of them took a piece of the original donkey meat. After taking a bite, Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi's eyes lit up, and even Gu Yan praised: "It is indeed delicious."
