While the two were drawing, their ideas were still flowing. Chu Shiyu also occasionally mentioned some problems encountered by the carriage, such as the wheels were easily damaged and cracked, and the five horses were difficult to coordinate and could not exert their full strength...

Little Qin Hao is just a child after all. Although he can occasionally come up with a wonderful idea, most of the time he can only remember it in his heart. His mother said, remember what you don’t understand first.

After the two of them finished drawing the drawings, Chu Shiyu looked up and stretched his waist, and saw Liu Rusi standing next to Xiao Qinhao, slightly tilting her head to look at their drawings.

Was he so absorbed in it? He didn't even notice her coming!

"Haohao, half an hour has passed since the agreed break time." Liu Rusi looked at Qin Hao with a smile.

Little Qin Hao was shocked to realize that he had forgotten the time, and quickly admitted his mistake with a pitiful look on his face: "I'm sorry, Haohao was too focused on drawing."

"You and your uncle have done a good job painting. Let's forget about it this time, but don't do it again in the future." Liu Rusi smiled and pulled Qin Hao over. Then she looked at Chu Shiyu and bowed slightly, saying, "I will take Qin Hao to bed. Mr. Chu should also go to bed early. Good night."

The mother and son walked into the big tent hand in hand. Chu Shiyu curled his lips slightly. Although he was still very polite, one could feel that his attitude had relaxed a little. Well, that's not bad.

Maids and servants are required to follow their masters in all aspects. Since Xiao Qinhao and Shi Yu did not rest, they would naturally keep people to serve them. After Xiao Qinhao entered the tent, Zhuqing and Juxiang brought hot water to help him wash and change clothes.

"Madam, please let us serve the young master. You should rest early. We will do our best." Juxiang pleaded carefully. Although the prince did not punish them today, he did not look satisfied... Madam Liu and the others could not force them, but it would be good to be able to serve the young master. How could they, as maids, feel at ease if they did nothing?

Liu Rusi found it hard to understand why there was so much need for help with washing and brushing. It would have been fine if little Qin Hao was not independent before, but now that he has started to become independent, how could she let the child become dependent on others again?

Although she felt that these maids were pitiful and miserable, Liu Rusi would not give in on the upbringing of her children.

"Just help us carry water and pour it like before. And didn't you wash our clothes? You have done enough. If the prince wants to punish you again, I will go to the prince to explain."

Juxiang still requested, Zhuqing beside her pulled her and said hurriedly: "Thank you Madam for your consideration, we understand."

Day and night alternate, and it is early morning again.

Liu Rusi woke up naturally and heard the sound of raindrops hitting outside the tent, and the air was filled with dampness.

Should we hurry on the road after the rain? Liu Rusi was puzzled, but she still woke up little Qinhao and took Caiyun, who had also changed her clothes, to do morning exercises together.

After finishing a set of morning exercises, several maids came over to bring them basins of water. It seemed that the rain was not heavy. Several maids did not hold umbrellas, so there were some water droplets on their bodies but they were not soaked.

"If you want to travel in the rain, do you want to walk in the rain?" Liu Rusi couldn't help but be curious.

"We, the servants and some of the stewards, rode in carriages all the way so we wouldn't get wet in the rain. Mr. Sun who was beside the prince rode in his own carriage, and we, the servants, were a little more crowded, with three or four people in one carriage." Meihong smiled and explained in detail. She was not like Juxiang, who only pursued superficiality, and quickly adapted to Madam Liu's peculiarities.

"Well, that's not bad." Liu Rusi suddenly had a more realistic sense of the hierarchy in this world. Sun Zhizhao, who bowed and scraped in front of Chu Shiyu, was also a big shot who enjoyed a car all to himself in the eyes of others. In addition, this world oppressed women a lot, but it also regarded women as the weak and gave them some basic care.

The rain was not heavy, so we still had breakfast under the awning outside the big tent, but there were gauze curtains hung around to prevent rain from coming in.

This morning's breakfast still had milk and eggs, but the snacks on the table had changed a lot. Everything Liu Rusi had eaten yesterday was still there, and she had replaced the ones she didn't want to eat with other ones. Liu Rusi didn't notice it, but Xiao Qinhao did. After all, he would never forget anything he wanted to remember.

Little Qinhao looked at Chu Shiyu thoughtfully. His big black and white eyes conveyed his meaning. Chu Shiyu felt a little guilty. Little Qinhao actually discovered his little thoughts...

After breakfast, the big shots in the car would not stop because the light rain could not wet them.

But Liu Rusi didn't expect that Chu Shiyu didn't take the carriage. He just wore a large black hat with gold edges and a black oilcloth cloak embroidered with gold patterns. He still sat upright on the horse and followed their carriage.

This outfit makes him look more like a knight-errant than a prince... But that's not the point. The point is why do you have to ride a horse or a carriage even when it's raining? Is there any meaning?

Did he want her to keep seeing him until she got used to him? Or did he simply like riding horses?

Liu Rusi felt annoyed, so she stopped looking at him and turned to look at the entourage next to her.

The horseback guards were dressed similarly to Chu Shiyu, except that their equipment was obviously simpler, with plain brown or brown hats and cloaks, while the walking team behind them were all wearing straw raincoats and hats... It wasn't that they couldn't move once it rained, she still underestimated the ancients.

The novelty of studying the carriage yesterday wore off, and today little Qin Hao was thinking about reading again. As a mother, she naturally couldn’t always stop her son from making progress.

No matter how stable a luxurious carriage is, it will still shake. The sand table and pen and ink are not convenient to use, but little Qin Hao is content because Chu Shiyu, who can teach him, is walking next to him. He took out a book and leaned against the window to ask questions about the parts he didn't understand that had not been answered yet.

They had a pleasant conversation, asking and answering questions. Liu Rusi looked at this scene and no longer felt annoyed with Chu Shiyu...

She felt somewhat relieved when she saw the look over there. Chu Shiyu was a very good mentor and friend to the child. If he hadn't always wanted to develop a relationship with her, she wouldn't have treated him with the cold shoulder.

The two were studying by the window. Liu Rusi was feeling a bit bored. Seeing Caiyun was also bored, Liu Rusi suggested, "Caiyun, I remember you don't know how to read, right?"

"Well... no one in my family can read." Caiyun felt a little embarrassed.

There were only ten people in Dongshan Village who could read. Although Liu Rusi's grandfather was only a student, he was considered a much better scholar in the eyes of the villagers. Because his grandfather could write and read letters for others and used to teach children to read and write to earn some extra money, the Liu family was considered a rich farmer in the early years. Otherwise, how could the scumbag father have the spare money to gamble in the beginning?

"Then I'll teach you some simple words. It's not good to be illiterate." Liu Rusi planned to live as independently as possible in the capital, and maybe try to do some business at that time. Caiyun would definitely follow her, but if she couldn't read, she wouldn't be able to help with many things.

"Haohao, can you lend me your Three Character Classic?"

Qin Hao naturally agreed, while Chu Shiyu outside the car window was distracted by his thoughts. He knew that Liu Rusi could read and write, but he had never seen how knowledgeable she was... There was still a lot he didn't know about her.

Liu Rusi took the book and began to teach Caiyun how to read. Although she spoke softly, she soon attracted all of Chu Shiyu's attention, and she didn't even bother to answer the questions asked by little Qin Hao.

She seemed to like to use the method of association. The character "人" (person) was a person standing with legs apart, the character "大" (big) was a person with arms outstretched but unable to hold, and the character "天" (sky) was a person with arms outstretched and head against the sky...

Seeing that Chu Shiyu was busy looking inside, little Qin Hao was not angry. Instead, he said in a low voice with pride: "Mother's teaching of calligraphy is very interesting, so when I was learning calligraphy, I wanted to learn it every day. The Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic were almost all taught by mother!"

"But later, my father passed away... My mother didn't have time to teach me, so she sent me to study with my great-grandfather. My great-grandfather mostly didn't understand the deep meaning of words and could only teach me new words and their meanings. But later, my great-grandfather became old and sick and didn't have the energy to teach me..." Little Qin Hao became a little sad as he spoke.

Chu Shiyu raised his hand and rubbed little Qin Hao's head, and said earnestly to comfort him: "Uncle will teach you in the future, and will find you a knowledgeable tutor and enroll you in the most prestigious academy in Daxia. As long as you want to learn, you don't have to worry about no one teaching you."

"Uncle Shi Yu, you are so nice!" If there weren't a car and a horse between them, little Qin Hao would have wanted to go up and hug him.

Chu Shiyu was naturally relieved to hear this, but he was also sighing that little Qinhao's progress was really fast. He called him Uncle Shiyu so quickly. He just didn't know when he would hear Liu Rusi calling him Shiyu... Now it's still that damn "Mr. Chu"...

There were three people in the car and one on the horse. They soon found their state and taught each other in pairs. The atmosphere was particularly harmonious. Liu Rusi was willing to call it a bright learning car.

With the harmonious atmosphere of this morning, Chu Shiyu also found a way to get along with Liu Rusi, which was to stare at her less... As long as everything revolved around little Qin Hao, they could get along well indirectly.

Time flies when there is something to do on the way. Read and learn on the bus, eat and rest when you get off the bus...

The wheels were rolling, and soon it was already the sixth day of our journey.

In the past few days, we encountered many villages, towns and small towns on the way, but because of the simple conditions and the fact that we were in the middle of the journey, we only sent people to buy food and supplies. The entire team did not stay in these places, and we camped in the wild to rest.

This time, we happened to encounter a place with people just before the lunch break. It was a small town without city walls. Although it was a town, it looked more lively than Jinyan City at a glance, with people everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Qin Hao, do you want to go for a walk in town at noon? It must be boring to be in the car all day, right?" Chu Shiyu asked little Qin Hao, only paying attention to Liu Rusi's attitude with his peripheral vision.

And little Qin Hao naturally asked Liu Rusi's opinion. He asked with some anticipation: "Mom, can you go to the town with Haohao?"

"Sure, Mom wants to go for a walk too." Liu Rusi nodded gently.

Chu Shiyu immediately arranged for a small number of people to enter the town, sighing inwardly. At first, she thought this was good, as she no longer had to listen to her "Mr. Chu", but within two days, she felt uncomfortable again. Do they have to talk to each other only through little Qin Hao?

Compared to his dissatisfaction, Liu Rusi felt that the current situation was good. Maybe it was a little awkward to talk across the air, but there wouldn't be that inexplicable ambiguous atmosphere.

More than a dozen experts were protecting them secretly, and two guards and Sun Zhiming were following them openly. The people in the town saw six adults surrounding a child walking on the street, attracting most of the attention.

Not only because they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, but also because the three people in the lead were as good-looking as gods! The child in the middle had bright eyes and white teeth, the woman on the right had a radiant look, and the man on the left had a lush forest and bamboo.

It is rare to see someone with such appearance. When these three people walk together, it is like the gods in the storybooks have walked into the mortal world!

Liu Rusi has always been sensitive to gazes, and this time there was no malicious gaze, but she was stared at by all the people along the way, and she felt a little uncomfortable...

Seeing a shop selling various kinds of hats nearby, Liu Rusi walked over there and said, "I'm going to buy a veil hat..."

A big hand immediately grabbed her. Chu Shiyu recalled the day when she was almost lifted up by the dandy boy. Blood rushed in his chest. He blurted out a promise: "You don't have to wear this thing. I promise no one will dare to offend you."

Liu Rusi just stared at his tightly held hands. Indeed, no one dares to offend me, except yourself...

How many times has he pulled her at every turn? In the strict Daxia Dynasty, doesn't he realize that he is an offense?

Seeing her staring at his hand, Chu Shiyu immediately let go of it, impulsive... He pretended that nothing was wrong and added: "Anyway, you don't have to buy it. Maybe you should buy some snacks to try. It's not convenient to wear that."

Liu Rusi did not insist any longer. Being among such a group of people, even if she wore a veil, she would still attract attention.
