The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

When they arrived at the provincial capital, Cheng Fang had been waiting for them at home for a long time.

During these twenty days, the printing plates for "The Kingdom of Strange Animals" have been completed and are waiting for Zhou Dajiang's wire binding.

The old man even had a counter set up in a prominent location in the bookstore to display Chen's mother's doll collection. It was truly all ready, except for the east wind.

Fortunately, both the wire ring and the doll arrived on schedule. As for the fact that the second and third issues of "Wonderful Animal Kingdom" were also drawn, that was a pleasant surprise.

Like Mrs. Qi, Mr. Cheng was very fond of the eccentric Zhou Sisi. He asked someone to take out a piece of the Duan inkstone from his collection in the study and gave it to Zhou Sisi.

Zhou Sisi didn't reach out to take it immediately. Instead, she looked at her grandmother and Zhou Dajiang. When they nodded, she took it with both hands and said thank you crisply, "Thank you, Grandpa Cheng."

This made Old Master Cheng sigh, thinking how great it would be if this little girl was his granddaughter. What a pity.

With Qi back, Cheng Fang no longer had to arrange for her food and lodging. After meeting his elder sister and Zhou Dajiang and having the goods inspected, he went back to work in the store.

I have to arrange for people to bind the books overnight, and also to make the plates for the middle and lower volumes of "The Kingdom of Strange Animals". I'm very busy.

After all, Qi was old, and after all the hard work, both she and Chen's mother were exhausted. They had a quick dinner, and Qi arranged accommodation for Chen's mother and the others, and she went back to her room to rest.

Zhou Sisi lived in the same room with her grandmother, and after a long journey, she quickly fell asleep. The next morning, she was woken up by a noise outside.

"What's going on here?"

Grandma was still asleep, so Zhou Sisi tiptoed to wash up, put on her clothes, and ran to the door to watch the fun.

It turned out that the servants of the Cheng family were moving books, and part of the upper part of "The Kingdom of Strange Animals" had been bound.

"Little girl, whose family are you from?" a servant nearby asked curiously.

"I am Zhou Dajiang's daughter." Zhou Sisi answered crisply.

"So she is Mr. Zhou's daughter. This "Land of Strange Animals" must have been painted by Mr. Zhou. It's amazing!" A burst of admiration came from the crowd.

Zhou Sisi felt very happy after hearing this. Who said it was painted by Mr. Zhou? It was painted by me, Miss Zhou.

Zhou Sisi was feeling proud when a well-dressed young man from the nearby garden approached. He picked up a copy of "Strange Animal Kingdom" and flipped through it casually. Unexpectedly, the more he read, the more interesting it became.

“This book is really interesting!”

The boy said to Zhou Sisi, "I've never seen such a wonderful picture album. The author has a great imagination."

Zhou Sisi felt a little shy when the handsome boy in front of her praised her. She lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you for the compliment."

The young man smiled, not expecting to be complimenting someone directly. He rummaged through his purse, pulled out a candy, and handed it to Zhou Sisi, saying, "Are you Zhou Sisi? I've heard my grandfather talk about you. My name is Cheng Yunxiang, and Cheng Fang is my grandfather. Nice to meet you!"

Zhou Sisi took the candy, feeling surprised. This young man had a unique way of expressing himself, giving a piece of candy to someone he knew first. However, since he had given it to her, she couldn't be impolite.

So, she smiled at the boy and said, "Hello, Cheng Yunxiang, nice to meet you. My name is Zhou Sisi, thank you for the candy."

At this time, Old Master Cheng happened to walk over. Seeing Zhou Sisi and the young boy getting along well, he was moved and said to them with a smile, "You two children are so compatible that you already know each other without waiting for my introduction. Sisi, this is my grandson Yunxiang."

Then he said to Cheng Yunxiang, "Sisi is a guest. Take Sisi for a walk in the garden. When your grandmother wakes up, come over and have breakfast together."

Zhou Sisi and the boy looked at each other, and then walked into the back garden together.

This was Zhou Sisi's first time visiting an ancient garden. Cheng Yunxiang was a chatterbox, explaining everything he saw to her, which made her feel like she was following a tour guide in modern times, which she found quite amusing.

After strolling around the garden and having breakfast with Qi, Cheng Yunxiang said goodbye to Zhou Sisi as he had to go to Cheng Family School to study.

Chen's mother was also pulled away by Qi to play mahjong, leaving only Zhou Sisi and Zhou Dajiang, staring at each other.

Zhou Dajiang originally planned to go to the bookstore with his mother-in-law and Sisi today, but he didn't expect his mother-in-law to just ignore them.

That's right, the book was just bound this morning. Even if it's selling, feedback won't come that quickly. It'll take at least two or three days. Since his mother-in-law isn't anxious, he isn't either.

Zhou Sisi was bored and wanted to go out and play, so she asked Zhou Dajiang: "Dad, how about you take me out for a walk?"

Zhou Dajiang also wanted to go out, but after all, he was unfamiliar with the place, so he said helplessly: "I have come here three times, and each time I arrived at Cheng Mansion, I went back early the next morning. I am not familiar with this city either."

"What's there to be afraid of? Just use your modern driving skills to remember the road. As long as we don't get lost, that's all that matters!

It doesn't matter where you go, there's always something new and exciting about exploring unknown areas. "Zhou Sisi has perfectly inherited Zhou Dajiang's ability to deceive people, and she's no slouch when it comes to fooling her own father, either."

"Okay, let's go out for a walk." Zhou Dajiang's principle in coaxing children is to stop them from crying, not to mention going shopping. He always agrees to their requests.

The two planned to go to the bookstore first.

After asking the doorman, they learned that the Cheng Mansion was located near West Street in the city, and the bookstore was a little further away on East Street. If they wanted to go to the bookstore, they could just walk east along the street. So, they walked directly east along the street.

This was a bustling commercial street. Zhou Sisi and Zhou Dajiang walked and looked at the shops along the way. The shops were dazzling and dazzling. Zhou Sisi looked left and right excitedly. When she saw something interesting, she would pull Zhou Dajiang to take a look.

Before they knew it, they arrived in front of a shop selling rouge and powder.

Zhou Sisi wanted to see ancient rouge and powder, so she pulled Zhou Dajiang in. The shop owner enthusiastically introduced the effects and colors of various rouge and powder to them, and Zhou Sisi listened with great interest.

Finally, Zhou Sisi picked out two boxes of lip balm, one bright red and one light pink. She gave the bright red to her mother and the light pink to herself. Zhou Dajiang paid, and the two continued walking east.

After walking about a hundred meters, I finally saw the bookstore sign, Qiancheng Shuzhai.

Walking into the bookstore, it was filled with all kinds of books. Zhou Sisi's picture album was also prominently displayed in the children's reading area. There was also a special counter in the back, displaying more than 20 kinds of small dolls. Because the counter was just set up, there were not many people in the morning, so it was not possible to see any effect for the time being.

Zhou Sisi stopped paying attention and excitedly wandered through the shelves, searching for books that interested her. She finally chose a copy of "Agriculture Overview" and a copy of "Donghua Encyclopedia." "Agriculture Overview" was for her mother. Chen Xiuying had been nagging about buying a book on agriculture and sericulture, as she was going to plant fruit trees at home next year, and learning more would be helpful. "Donghua Encyclopedia" was an encyclopedia, and she hoped it would be helpful for their lives in the countryside.

Zhou Dajiang also bought a copy of "Taiping Yulan", a book on criminal law. Coming to this ancient time, he should learn more about the ancient laws. Moreover, his future imperial examinations will also have law-related content, so he should study it in advance.

After paying, the two left the bookstore contentedly and prepared to move on to the next one.
