Ling Chaofeng came down from the stairs and opened the door. Xiaowan carried Little Pei and prepared to go upstairs.
With permission, someone went outside, followed by a young man with a high nose, blue eyes, snow-white skin, and an outrageous beauty.
Xiaowan had never seen such a person in her life, nor had she ever thought of using beauty to describe a man. However, she knew that they must have come from somewhere else.
The Aunt Zhang and the Uncle Biao came out to receive guests. After the Xiaowan brought Little Pei upstairs, they made a trip to the second floor of the tavern, where there were eight rooms. The beautiful man stayed in the south side of the forest.
The Xiaowan brought the tea over, and the beautiful man chattered a lot of things to her. While the Xiaowan stayed there, he smiled and asked with a weird tone of voice: "How far is this place from the capital?"
Xiaowan shook her head, "I don't know either. Guest, please wait for a moment, I will go ask."
Before long, Ling Chaofeng had followed the Xiaowan upstairs and told his guests how to go through the dry road and the water path. It was obvious that these people had stopped their boat at the Baisha River Pier in the middle of the night and had come by the water route.
After settling down the guests, Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan returned to the third floor. Xiaowan felt uneasy, so she went to the opposite room and carried Little Pei over.
Little Pei happily turned over his parents' bed and fought even more. Being glared at by his father, Little Pei pouted and muttered, "It was mother who carried me here."
Xiaowan looked around the second floor a few more times before returning to lock the door.
Little Pei was the best at coaxing Xiaowan to be happy, coaxing his mother to hug him and kiss him again.
Ling Chaofeng watched on from the side as the little fellow's eyelids gradually grew heavy. It slept peacefully in the arms of the Xiaowan, and he said softly, "In the past, when you pestered me to sleep together, we never stopped until midnight. Sometimes, when I was tired, you would beat him up, and only fell asleep after crying."
Xiaowan gently said: "Hubby is already very amazing, it's not easy for males to bring up children, but Little Pei is still young, don't always hit him, he's scared."
"He's acting good in front of you, making you like him. He's a ghost, you'll know after a while." Ling Chaofeng laughed, "When he gets that far, your teeth will start to itch."
"Then I can't bear to fight either." Xiaowan looked at the sleeping Little Pei. With such a cute treasure, who wouldn't like it?
"But don't spoil him." Ling Chaofeng said, "Boys cannot be spoiled."
Xiaowan nodded: "I'll listen to you. Little Pei is not obedient, but you scold him. I definitely won't interrupt." But after that, his face reddened as he laughed, "That day Little Pei said he wants a little brother. He wants to be a big brother."
Ling Chaofeng laughed and asked: Let's go to town to buy?
Xiaowan blushed, she hugged Little Pei and ignored him.
Ling Chaofeng came over and kissed her on the cheek, and said lovingly: "It's late, and we're not in a rush to give birth to children. We'll let nature take its course, and do what we need to do."
"Yes." Xiaowan laughed. She then asked, "Master, did those people come from another country?"
Ling Chaofeng nodded his head, "He should be quite a distance away, but since he can speak Chinese, he must have some background. We'll just deal with it carefully, don't worry. "
"That person is really pretty, so it turns out that men can be this pretty, if Susu saw it tomorrow, she would definitely be shocked too." The Xiaowan said in a strange tone, "The inn is really amazing, we don't even need to go out to know what is going on outside."
Ling Chaofeng asked: "Do you like it here?"
"I like it." Xiaowan said, "Especially since you like my husband."
"Then why did you place this little thing in the middle?" Ling Chaofeng said, intentionally acting somewhat displeased.
Xiaowan immediately hugged Little Pei: "I'm not at ease. Those guests are so strange, what do I do if I take my son away?"
Ling Chaofeng then turned around and pulled both his son and wife into his embrace. "Is this it?"
Xiaowan slept peacefully. The next morning, before her husband and son woke up, she woke up first. She combed her hair, woke Little Pei up and peed his pants, seeing that he was still unconscious, she put him back to sleep.
The couple came downstairs to entertain their guests.
Uncle Biao had already woken up early to make breakfast. It was a hot day and he was sweating profusely as he sat in the backyard enjoying the cool air. Aunt Zhang said, "I don't know if those foreigners get used to eating rice porridge as a side dish. "Regardless of them, you guys eat your breakfast first."
However, the group of guests seemed to be tired and only woke up when it was late in the morning. Susu curiously followed Xiaowan to look at them.
They also did not say that they were used to eating breakfast and would eat whatever they gave. The group of people were quiet and did not talk much.
After Da Qing went to the pier, he immediately ran back, saying that there was a huge boat parked there, none of the other boats could enter, and the people on the boat were in conflict with the people on the boat, so the group of pagans could not speak Chinese, so they were unable to communicate on both sides, causing a huge commotion.
Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan turned to look at the man who was gracefully eating the porridge. The couple looked at each other.
After breakfast, they went out. It was originally the look of a sightseer, but because of how eye-catching he looked, he was surrounded wherever he went. In the afternoon, Da Qing sent another message saying that Prefect Liang had rushed to Baisha Town and seemed to have picked up the morning guests.
As expected, all the way until nightfall, that group of customers still did not return. After the family finished dinner, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang stood at the entrance of the store and looked around. There were no movements on the distant road, no one would come back at all.
"Aunt, do we still count as room money?" Xiaowan asked.
"If it's related to the imperial government, then naturally, I won't accept it." The Aunt Zhang thought for a moment, then muttered, "Could it be that he is a prince of some western countries?"
When they slept at night, Ling Chaofeng told the Xiaowan that usually, foreign ships could not freely enter the borders of the Daqi and come to a place like the Baisha Town as they wished. There was only one possibility, and that was that the imperial government would allow them to enter the Daqi.
"And if not?" Xiaowan asked.
"If not, the first time I arrived at the port, I would have been intercepted and arrested." Ling Chaofeng said, "Otherwise, if anyone could just casually come in, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Master, have you ever seen the sea?" Xiaowan asked, and she laughed, "I have never even seen Baisha River before."
Ling Chaofeng asked in surprise, "You have never been to the pier?"
The Xiaowan smiled bitterly: "I've never been there before. I've only been to the town the furthest."
"Tomorrow morning, bring Little Pei with us to the dock to take a look at the big ship." Ling Chaofeng laughed, "Let's go check out your Baisha River, once we are done with the mountain opening, we will bring you to the coastal areas and have a look at the ocean."
Because they were separated by Little Pei, Xiaowan was unable to burrow into Hubby's embrace happily. Ling Chaofeng guessed what she was thinking and laughed, "Serves you right."
The Xiaowan was not convinced and said: "At the very least, I will have to wait until this group of guests leaves before I can send Little Pei back. He is so young, and lives in a room by himself. Even if he isn't afraid, I am afraid. I was always worried that Little Pei would roll down from the bed and burn his hands due to the candle flame. Husband, have you never been worried? "
Ling Chaofeng was stumped, and said guiltily: "It's my fault."
Xiaowan laughed: "There's still time. In the future, you have to properly love and care for our son."
The next morning, a few people came over and took away the things in the store. After settling the bill with the store, they didn't say who they were, but Ling Chaofeng heard from the yamen that they were indeed princes from Xiluo.
Xiaowan did not know which country the Xiluo was from, nor could she imagine where they were located. The happiest thing that happened this morning was that they followed their husband and brought Little Pei along in a carriage, arriving at the Baisha River Pier together.
Da Qing waited here for them, then brought them to walk around the dock. Currently, the most eye-catching thing was that luxurious ship.
In order to let other boats pass, the big ship moved to another location. Xiaowan stood on the shore in shock, looking at the boat that was two stories high, then looked at the Baisha River which was not as wide as she had imagined. She then asked Da Qing: "How did this boat get in?
Da Qing said: "I've worked at the dock for more than ten years, but this is the first time I've seen such a big boat."
At this time, a team of people rushed over. There were yamen runners, there were also foreign race people, Prefect Liang rode a horse, and the blue-eyed man also rode a horse. The official came to open a path, bringing all the servants on the dock to the side.
The Prefect Liang respectfully led the man to the dock, but the blue-eyed man only smiled and waved at Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan.
Ling Chaofeng nodded his head in greeting. Xiaowan bowed with Little Pei in her arms as she asked softly, "Are they heading to the capital?"
