Chapter 41 I’m coming to find you
In the morning, Ou Zanghua opened the door and looked outside at the vast expanse of white. He subconsciously chanted: "The bridle is flying on the streets of heaven, and I look around and I suspect I am in Yujing."

Qu Feiyan trotted over and said with a depressed look: "Sir, I just tested it and the snow has covered my ankles. In this case, our carriage can't go too fast!"

Ou Zanghua walked out from under the eaves, and the snow made a "crunching" sound when he stepped on it.

As a native southerner, he rarely saw such thick snow.

"Fei Yan, call Da Nian Zhi Xue Han Yun, let's build a snowman!"

"what?"

Qu Feiyan was stunned, but looking at Ou Zanghua who was full of interest, she didn't want to disturb her master's interest, so she smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll get the gloves and scarf for you first."

As she spoke, Qu Feiyan ran into the house, took out a pair of sheepskin gloves and a mink scarf, and put them on Ou Zanghua. Then she went to call Zhixue, Hanyun and Danian out.

Under Ou Zanghua's command, the five people acted quickly, first rolling out a big snowball and then carving it carefully.

When Tan Wuxia came over with breakfast, he heard a burst of laughter before entering the yard.

She quickened her pace and came in. She first saw Qu Yang standing under the eaves on guard. Then she turned around and found that Ou Zanghua and the other five had already built a row of snowmen.

From the simplest Snow King, to the slightly crafted Maitreya Buddha, to the exquisitely crafted Chang'e Flying to the Moon, Tan Wuxia could clearly see the improvement in this group of people's snowman-making skills.

"Miss Tan, do you want to join us?" Ou Zanghua asked cheerfully when he saw Tan Wuxia coming in.

"No need," Tan Wuxia refused with a smile. She didn't really play things like making snowmen after she was six years old.

"That's a shame!"

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua sighed and said, "I would like to see the difference between the snowmen in the north and the snowmen in the south! Perhaps they are not as delicate as those in the south."

Tan Wuxia paused, and said to his cousin beside him: "Go get my tools!"

"elder sister.?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel like I want to show off my skills."

My cousin glanced at the handsome guy opposite her, then turned away speechlessly.

After a while, she brought a shovel, a bucket, a wooden stick and a knife. Tan Wuxia smiled slightly and started to work under the surprised gazes of the four southerners, Ou Zanghua, Xiang Danian and Zhixue Hanyun.

After watching the other party's skillful operation for a while, the outline of the snowman emerged. Zhixue said solemnly: "Sir, she is so strong!"

Ou Zanghua looked at the little girl speechlessly. He didn't know that Zhixue actually had a bit of a desire to win.

Although Zhixue and Hanyun had been on the road since they followed them, they ate well and slept well. Their originally thin and frail bodies became stronger, their complexions became much rosier, and they gradually acquired the gentle beauty of southern girls.

It didn't take long before a simple and cute snow bear appeared in front of everyone.

Tan Wuxia clapped his hands and said calmly, "Let's have breakfast first and then continue. Today, let everyone see what it means to have a hundred beasts travel."

"Ms. Tan's craftsmanship is beyond reproach!" Ou Zanghua gave a thumbs up decisively, but unfortunately he didn't have a camera, as he really wanted to take a photo with the snow bear.

This time, Tan Wuxia brought the traditional Cangzhou breakfast - beef stewed pancakes. The beef was stewed until it was delicious and fragrant, and then paired with handmade pancakes. The beef was tender and the pancakes were crispy and delicious. It was paired with a bowl of salty tofu pudding with a delicate texture and rich bean flavor.
Wait a moment,
Salty?

Ou Zanghua and Xiang Danian looked at each other and silently put the tofu pudding aside.

Tan Wuxia didn't notice the two's little movements. She took a sip of tofu pudding and said with some expectation: "Mr. Ou, the snow is thick today, I'm afraid it's not easy to go out. Why don't you stay in the Tan family compound for a few more days and then see whether you can go out. How do you think?"

Ou Zanghua looked out the window and said with some melancholy: "I'm afraid it won't work. We are in a hurry. How about this!" "I trust Miss Tan very much, so I want Zhixue and Hanyun to rest here. Qu Bo, Da Nian, Feiyan and I will go to the capital first. After we finish our business in the capital, we will come here to pick them up."

As he spoke, he looked at Qu Yang and Xiang Danian.

Qu Yang thought about it and agreed: "I think it is feasible."

Xiang Danian also thought it was okay, so he nodded.

"Since Mr. Ou trusts me, I will definitely live up to your trust!" Tan Wuxia responded seriously, as if he had taken on some important task.

After breakfast, Ou Zanghua called Zhixue and Hanyun and explained the situation to them in a gentle manner.

After hearing this, the two girls' eyes turned red and they asked anxiously, "Does the Master not want us anymore?"

"Where did you think you were?"

Ou Zanghua sighed and said, "It's just that the road ahead is difficult, and we can't bear to see you suffer, so we asked Miss Tan to take care of you. But you can't just enjoy yourself here, I will come back next year and check your homework."

As he spoke, Ou Zanghua took out the "Three Character Classic" and "Family Instructions of Zhu Xi" and continued, "These two books are enlightenment readings. When I come back, you must be able to read them fluently. In addition, you must not drop the Kong Kong Fist. I will let Fei Yan test your practice results then."

After hearing this, the two girls' panic and confusion gradually disappeared.

Since the young master has assigned them homework, it means that he will not abandon them. It is enough to know this.

"We understand, please rest assured, sir."

Seeing this, Ou Zanghua smiled and encouraged: "Come on! Reading, writing, and learning martial arts to strengthen your body will also be good for you."

"Yes."

After comforting the two girls, Qu Feiyan asked them to go out and pack their luggage.

Tan Wuxia walked in and said gently, "Mr. Ou is indeed a gentle gentleman. He is so patient with his servants."

"We are all family. Just a few more words can resolve unnecessary misunderstandings. That's good." Ou Zanghua waved his hand indifferently, thinking it was just a trivial matter.

Tan Wuxia listened to it and sighed in her heart. She thought that many times she was too lazy to explain, which made the family a mess, so that her eighty-year-old grandfather had to come out to calm things down.

Thinking of this, Tan Wuxia suddenly had an idea and said, "Mr. Ou, I travel back and forth between Cangzhou and the capital all year round, and I know the roads well. Why don't I give you a ride?"

Ou Zanghua was speechless for a while, and could only remind her: "Miss Tan, the New Year is coming soon."

"That's true." Tan Wuxia was stunned and nodded helplessly.

She herself didn't care, and was even a little annoyed.

Because every Chinese New Year, in addition to dealing with the other three families, I also have to deal with my second and third uncles, which is tiring and thankless.

But my grandfather attaches great importance to festivals. If I am not around, the old man might feel lonely.

After thinking about it, Tan Wuxia thought of another way, so he asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time, Mr. Ou?"

Ou Zanghua thought about it and realized that if he passed the Spring Examination smoothly, he would need to stay in the capital for more than a month before taking part in the Palace Examination. He said, "Probably until April!"

"Okay, then after the New Year, I'll come to Beijing to find you!"
