For more than ten days on the boat, it was calm as they expected.

There were very few types of food on the ship. Even if Aunt Chen took the money to borrow the kitchen to cook for the two of them every day, she would only eat this when she came and went.

Su Cai'er dug out these chili sauces and ate them every day. Although her mouth and tongue didn't get blistered, she didn't feel any discomfort. However, when she got off the boat, the bottom of one jar was gone.

There is still about a month to go.

In order to take care of this greedy little cat, Zhao Ce chose to get off the ship in Hankou and take the carriage again to the north.

This came and went, and a month passed.

And their journey is still about half way.

It's already mid-October and the weather is getting colder and colder.

Zhao Ce looked at the gloomy sky and Su Cai'er, who had been wrapped into small rice dumplings, and was a little worried that it would snow that day.

Once it snows, their path will become even more difficult.

Because the autumn water has dried up, a large number of civilian ships are no longer allowed to use waterways, and only official ships responsible for water transportation can travel.

So there are quite a lot of people disembarking in Hankou.

Most of them are family members of wealthy families, or people who come to Beijing to take the exam.

If there are more people, it will be much safer to walk together.

Although Zhao Ce prides himself on having some martial arts skills, he still errs on the side of caution.

Therefore, he also brought his own carriage and marched into Beijing with the large army.

After this journey, Zhao Ce felt that even he was a little overwhelmed.

My health is fine, but I'm really bored.

In such a cold weather, it is unrealistic to take Su Cai'er to ride a horse. After all, the wind from the north, even if you don't ride a horse, will be like a knife on your face.

The further north you go, the more snow there is on the road.

They didn't know if they were lucky or not. Everywhere they went, it would just stop snowing, or it would snow in the middle of the night and stop during the day.

Su Cai'er was no longer bored. She lay in front of the car window all day long and looked at the snow outside.

"Husband, there is so much snow!"

After nearly two months of traveling, Su Cai'er ate well and slept soundly, and her face looked better than before.

As soon as she arrived at the inn, she was wrapped in a thick cloak and was carried out of the carriage by Zhao Ce.

When she got off the carriage, she immediately exclaimed. She squatted on the outside of the inn wall with some difficulty in moving, and poked at the white snow that was about to cover her shoes.

When it's the coldest in their hometown, there will be a few small snowflakes here and there. When the snowflakes fall, they will only be a thin layer, no more than frost.

This is the first time Su Cai'er has seen Bai Xue, which is so soft that it will sink in when you poke it with your hand.

Zhao Ce also squatted down with great interest and played with her.

"Here, my husband will build you a little snowman."

"Snowman?" Su Caier exclaimed: "What is a snowman?"

Zhao Ce smiled and directly held the snow in his hands and started to pinch the snowballs.

The snowball is not big, about the size of two palms put together.

Two southerners who had never seen heavy snow squatted on the snow in the north and had a great time.

"Where does this country bumpkin come from? He can play so hard in the snow."

The two people squatting on the ground raised their heads and saw an elegantly dressed official lady with her children beside her. She looked at the two people squatting on the ground with some disdain.

After seeing the two men raising their heads, the lady was stunned for a moment.

The man was handsome and the woman was delicate. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces that she had no time to take back, which inexplicably made her feel a little dazzling.

She looked away and hummed softly: "Go inside."

After saying that, he took his servants into the inn.

Su Cai'er curled up her red hands that were frozen by the snow, and whispered: "Husband, how about we go in too?"

After saying that, I looked at the two little snowmen that were almost finished and cuddled together with some reluctance.

Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows and said, "What does she care about? Let's play with ourselves."

After saying that, I broke off a few small branches from the nearby branches and inserted them on both sides of the two little snowmen.

After inserting it, I asked Aunt Chen to take out a few pieces of charcoal to make a nose and eyes.

As for the mouth, I just picked a red pepper and stuffed it into it, but I could barely read it.

After finishing, Zhao Ce clapped his hands and said, "Okay."

Su Cai'er looked at the little snowmen nestled together in front of her, clapped her hands happily and said, "It looks good!"

"This is my husband and me!"

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "Let's go into the house."

After saying that, he pulled Su Caier to stand up from the ground.

Feeling that her little hands were as cold as popsicles, Zhao Ce quickly gave her a few breaths and rubbed them gently.

"My hands are so frozen."

Su Cai'er looked at her husband holding her hand to warm it, and said with a smile: "It doesn't feel cold."

After saying that, he looked at the two little snowmen again: "Husband, don't you take these two snowmen into the house?"

Zhao Ce said with a smile: "Take it into the house and bake it over the charcoal fire. Will it melt?"

Su Cai'er looked at the two little snowmen with some pity.

She and her husband had done this together, and she was a little reluctant to just leave it on the roadside.

Su Cai'er also felt that she seemed a little too sentimental recently, but she couldn't control it.

Seeing that she looked a little disappointed, Zhao Ce said funnyly: "Forget it, I'll let Chen Wu come and put the snowman on the carriage."

"Let him find a place to put it. If it doesn't melt, we will take it to Beijing."

Su Cai'er became happy again and was pulled in by Zhao Ce.

...

Finally, on this day in mid-November, they finally saw the towering city wall of Beizhili.

The snow near the city gate had been swept clean and piled thickly aside, at least half a person deep.

The weather was gloomy and the cold wind was blowing constantly.

Despite the bad weather, there were not many people lining up to enter the city.

Zhao Ce's carriage followed behind, slowly moving forward.

Su Cai'er just woke up from a long sleep, opened the curtain enthusiastically, looked at the thick snow outside, and happily pointed to Zhao Ce.

The carriage moved slowly, and Su Cai'er lowered the curtain after watching it for a while.

When they arrived at Zhao Ce's car, Su Cai'er hugged the quilt she had just covered herself with and felt a little drowsy again.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not know Zhao Ce, so they asked them to lift the curtain and take a look.

Zhao Ce hugged Su Cai'er and nodded slightly to the inspecting officers and soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers saw that Zhao Ce was holding a thickly dressed man who was sleeping soundly in his arms, they were not embarrassed and waved directly to let them go into the city.

The first people to enter the city were already waiting in the city, meeting up with Zhao Ce and others, and preparing to take them to the inn where they would stay temporarily.

The carriage pressed against the road covered with a thin layer of ice, making the sound louder than usual.

Su Cai'er, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly opened her eyes for some unknown reason.

Her expression changed and she said to Zhao Ce: "Husband, I want to get off the car!"

After saying that, he struggled to lift the quilt and put on his shoes haphazardly.

Seeing her panic, Zhao Ce quickly knocked on the car wall and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Su Cai'er shook her head, and when the car stopped, she hurriedly opened the curtain and got out of the car.

Zhao Ce was startled by her move and took her hand first. He got out of the car first and then took the little girl out of the car.
