The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

Because it took a month, winter had already arrived in the capital.

Even though he was wrapped in thick clothes, Lin Zhi was still freezing.

The biting cold wind was like a knife, penetrating into the seams of her clothes. She couldn't help shivering a few times, rubbing her hands and blowing out air, trying to warm herself up.

Seeing this, Daya reached out and grabbed the corner of Lin Zhi's clothes, saying with a worried look on her face, "Mom, it's really cold today. Come closer to me and keep warm."

Lin Zhi looked at the sensible Daya, and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "It's okay, girl. Mom is not cold. We should find a place to stay as soon as possible."

Lin Yi was in front, greeting everyone, and turned back to shout, "Madam, Miss, hurry up and follow me. I heard that there is a pretty good inn not far ahead. Let's go there to rest and avoid the wind."

Lin Zhi responded, then pulled Daya and quickened their pace, following the team towards the inn.

Along the way, the prosperous scene of the capital city came into view. There were a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street. Although it was a cold winter, there were still many pedestrians coming and going. There were also street vendors hawking hot snacks, which were steaming and exuding bursts of tempting aroma.

After finally arriving at the inn, as soon as he entered the door, the warmth hit him in the face, making Lin Zhi breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Yi was busy asking the shopkeeper for a room, while Lin Zhi took Daya and Lin Er to find an empty seat and sit down, looking around the environment of the inn.

After a while, Lin Yi came over and said with a smile: "Madam, the young lady's room has been arranged."

Lin Zhi stood up and said, "Let's stay here first and have a good rest. It's been a long journey. By the way, let's try the special dishes of the capital later to see how they are different from where we stayed before."

Daya nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay, everyone is hungry, let's eat something hot to warm up our bodies."

The group took a break at an inn near the city gate and took the opportunity to appreciate the unique style of the capital.

Lin Zhi took Daya and Lin Ergang to the room, ready to put down their luggage and tidy up.

Daya curiously walked around the room, looking at the exquisitely carved bed, the quaint tables and chairs, and the pots of elegant green plants placed by the window. She couldn't help but sigh, "Mom, are all the inns in the capital so exquisite? They are much more magnificent than the places we stayed along the way."

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded, while sorting out her clothes, she said: "Of course, the capital is under the feet of the emperor after all, and everything is different. After we have rested, mother will take you out for a walk and take a good look at the prosperity of the capital."

Daya has been sensible and well-behaved since she was young, and she was no different at this time: "Mom, we can put our playtime aside for now. I miss Dalang and Erlang."

Lin Zhi touched her head lovingly.

This is not about missing Dalang and Erlang, it is obvious that she wants to go home early to reunite and save money.

Before coming to Beijing, Lin Zhi asked someone to deliver dividends to Shi Feiyang and also took some money to ask him to help buy a house in Beijing.

After arriving in Beijing, Dalang and Erlang moved into the newly purchased house.

Lin Zhi smiled and pinched Daya's face, saying, "Daya, mother knows that you are thinking about Dalang and Erlang, and also want to save some money. But we have been traveling so hard, so we can rest for a while. We will go to the mansion to meet up with the brothers tomorrow, how about that?"

After hearing this, Daya nodded obediently: "Mom is right, then we will listen to her and take a rest first, and then go see Dalang and Erlang tomorrow."

Lin Er also agreed: "Madam is right, I feel exhausted after the journey. Now I just want to lie down on the bed and take a nap. I don't want to go out at all."

Although Lin Er was a servant, because she was young, Lin Zhi usually treated her as a child.

Lin Zhi looked at the two children with eyes full of doting: "Okay, then you two should quickly pack up, wash up, and have a good sleep. Once you have enough energy, there will be a lot of things to do tomorrow."

After that, the three of them started to get busy. After washing up, Daya and Lin Er fell asleep quickly. Lin Zhi looked at their peaceful sleeping faces, feeling very relieved. He also lay down on the bed quietly and fell asleep soon.

The next day, Lin Zhi woke up at daybreak. She looked at Daya and Lin Er who were still sleeping, got up quietly, and washed up simply.

Thinking that I would go to the house to meet Dalang and Erlang today, my heart was full of anticipation. I sat by the window, staring at the winter street scene of the capital city outside the window.

The place she traveled to was in the south. Even in winter, everything was green. She hadn't seen such white snow for a long time.

Soon, Daya woke up. She rubbed her eyes and saw Lin Zhi sitting by the window. She quickly stood up and said, "Mom, why did you get up so early?"

Lin Zhi came over with a smile and helped Daya tidy up her messy hair: "The scenery outside is so beautiful that I couldn't help but get up and take a closer look."

Daya turned her gaze to the window and saw that the scenery outside was indeed beautiful.

"Now that you're awake, go wash up."

Daya responded obediently and began to dress and wash quickly.

After a while, Lin Er also woke up. After the three of them had packed up, they went downstairs to look for Lin Yi.

Lin had been waiting in the lobby since early in the morning. When he saw them coming down, he hurried forward and said, "Madam, Miss, I have already hired a carriage. It is right outside the door. Shall we set off now?"

Lin Zhi nodded, took the two children out of the inn and got on the carriage.

The carriage started slowly and drove towards the house.

Along the way, there were more and more pedestrians on the streets of the capital, including people rushing to the morning market to buy groceries, peddlers carrying loads on their shoulders and walking through the streets to do business, and dignitaries riding tall horses and dressed in fancy clothes. All kinds of scenes were intertwined, showing the bustle and prosperity of the capital.

Daya and Lin Er were still leaning against the car window curiously, looking at everything outside, and asking Lin Zhi some questions from time to time. Lin Zhi also patiently answered them one by one. Time passed quietly in the question and answer.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the house.

Lin Zhi got off the carriage first. Looking up, he saw that the house looked even more magnificent under the warm winter sun.

The vermilion gate exudes a simple and solemn air. The snow on the eaves sparkles with silver light under the sunlight, as if adding a different charm to the house.

Daya and Lin Er also got out of the car. Daya excitedly took Lin Zhi's hand and said, "Mom, is this our home?"

Lin Zhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is our new home."

She asked Lin Yi to walk forward and gently knocked on the door.
