Quick mission: We don't make trouble

In the city, snowflakes drifted sparsely, like willow catkins. Around noon, the snow gradually subsided. The snow on the streets wasn't thick, just a thin layer, and it was melting into pools of clear water under the sunlight.

The streets of the prefectural capital are all paved with smooth bluestones, making them very spacious. They are wide enough to accommodate three carriages passing side by side. Even when there are many pedestrians and busy vehicles, people will not feel crowded or cramped.

Despite the chilling winter weather, the streets and alleys were bustling with people. Beautifully decorated carriages rolled by, the crisp clatter of hooves echoing through the air. Sturdy mules pulled carts, their hooves splashing water. Old oxen leisurely pulled loaded carts, their lowing moos punctuating the occasion. Furthermore, numerous vendors, carrying heavy loads on their shoulders, weaved through the crowds, loudly promoting the advantages and special features of their wares.

The streets are lined with shops of all kinds, some bustling with activity, others relatively quiet, waiting for customers. Red lanterns hung high above restaurants sway in the breeze, as if waving to passersby. In silk shops, colorful silks and satins pile up like clouds, radiating a captivating luster. The rouge and powder shops are crowded with beauty-conscious women, carefully selecting their favorite powders and blushes, and exchanging their experiences.

The bustling scene was so dazzling that Zhu Qingqing and the others, who had just arrived, were dazzled. Zhu Yingying excitedly pointed ahead and said, "Sister, look! There's a magnificent restaurant over there!" Her gaze quickly shifted to the other side, and she continued, "And that silk shop looks so beautiful! And look over there, there's even a gold and silver shop!" Looking at the quaint buildings and the pedestrians dressed in ancient costumes, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. "It feels like I've stepped into a fantastic costume drama! It's like I've become the heroine, about to embark on a thrilling, legendary journey."

At this time, Wu Di on the side laughed and teased: "Auntie, you think too much, at most she is just the second female lead."

Hearing this, Zhu Yingying was not happy. She pouted and retorted, "Humph, what's the matter? Do you still want to be the heroine? But at your age, you are still far from that."

However, Wu Di shook his head and said seriously, "I don't want to be the heroine. I just want to quietly make a fortune. I'll be content with just being a supporting role."

Seeing this, Mother Zhu deliberately teased Wu Di: "So, if you were to choose the female lead, who do you think it would be? Your mother, or me, your grandmother?"

Wu Di blinked, nodded obediently and replied, "Well, if you really want to be the heroine, then I will definitely support you with all my strength."

Zhu Yingying became even more anxious when she heard this and quickly asked, "Then why can't I do it?"

Seeing Zhu Yingying being so serious, Zhu Qingqing quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Hey, don't be so petty with a child. You just came here and haven't even gotten used to life here yet. There are still many things you need to slowly adapt to. You can't compare to others in this regard."

Mother Zhu: "That's right. Also, if a man here has three wives and four concubines, would you agree? If there's another family feud or something, can you save your life?"

Wu Di added fuel to the fire, "Yes, the female lead can't survive one episode. The supporting actress is different."

After hearing what everyone said, Zhu Yingying immediately lost her temper and grumbled helplessly: "Alright, alright, I can't argue with you. You're all right, alright?"

Thinking that she couldn't win against everyone, Zhu Yingying couldn't help but feel a strong sense of frustration, muttering to herself: "Oh my god, what a failure."

At this moment, Zhu's father, who had been silent the whole time, spoke to comfort him, "Since we've come to this place, let's just let nature take its course. Don't overthink things, just take it one step at a time. Regardless of whether we're the protagonist or not, as long as our family can live this life diligently and happily, isn't that enough?"

Wu Di: "Grandpa is wise, Grandpa is right."
