Chapter 206 Ancient World 23: Returning Home

It was another long journey, another wandering, and Zuo Zhizhi's forgotten memories gradually revived.

I had so much fun during this period that I forgot how painful it was when I came here before.

It is really hard to bear to still sit in such a bumpy carriage.

Fortunately, they were not in a hurry this time, so everyone slowed down their pace whenever possible. As long as the carriage did not move fast, the degree of bumps was still acceptable.

Zuo Zhizhi managed to survive, but of course the price she paid was that her return trip was repeatedly delayed.

Fortunately, I wrote a letter in advance and informed them of the time on the way, so that my family didn't worry too much.

Zuo Zhizhi secretly made up her mind that after returning this time, she would ask her sister to discuss the matter with the Sixth Prince's Consort Su Yun.

In addition to daily necessities, things that everyone uses frequently, such as carriages, also need to be improved!

Although he returned home late, Deng Zijin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived home safely.

Seeing her daughter come back safe and sound, she hugged Zuo Zhizhi in her arms and said, "My daughter, you are finally back. I was so worried!"

Zuo Zhizhi broke free from her arms, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. Look, I brought you a lot of gifts!"

The maids in the yard had already started to unload things from the carriage one by one.

Zuo Zhizhi introduced the things inside one by one.

Some of the toys are for their unborn nephews and nieces.

Some beautiful hairpins are given to mothers, sisters, sisters-in-law and oneself.

There are also local famous brushes, and Zuo Zhizhi gave away a lot of them according to various models and personal preferences.

As for the food, some that cannot be stored for a long time will naturally be eaten early, and some that can be stored for a long time will naturally be taken out and shared with everyone.

After resting at home for a few days, Zuo Zhizhi couldn't sit still any longer, so she chose to continue going to school.

After all, you haven't seen your parents for a long time, and their care is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

In particular, Deng Zijin was still very concerned about Zuo Zhizhi going on a long journey alone. The first thing he did every day was to look at her carefully, fearing that something might happen to her.

Although I enjoyed this kind of care very much at the beginning, I couldn't stand it after a long time.

Zuo Zhizhi came to the school and shared the things she brought back with several friends. Although they were not very valuable, they were rare items from other places, which made everyone very happy.

Especially since these friends of mine don’t particularly care about family background, they naturally have no shortage of money, so they like these small folk items more.

Only Gu Qingke, the daughter of Marquis Yuanzhong, was extremely dissatisfied with this.

"How petty! Bringing back these worthless things actually makes others laugh. Tasteless stuff!"

Before Zuo Zhizhi got angry, Qin Zhirong was the first to get unhappy.

She stood up slightly, looked up and down at Gu Qingke in the distance, and then showed a contemptuous smile.

"If you don't know, you might think you're some royal relative. You actually look down on these things. Are we, in front of you, just the same level as these common items?"

Gu Qingke didn't expect that someone would openly refute him. Although he wanted to speak, he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him. He could only snort coldly and leave with his maid.

But before they had gone far, Qin Zhirong's voice rang out again, "Some people, you have to remember where your roots are. Otherwise, if you become the kind of person who forgets their roots, you will be looked down upon by everyone!"

Naturally, some people in the leaving crowd heard the sound, but although they paused slightly, they did not stop.

Zuo Zhizhi smiled at Qin Zhirong and said, "Sister Rong, why should you worry about it? People like her who flatter the powerful and bully the weak don't need to be dealt with at all. She will naturally suffer in her time!"

Qin Zhirong shook his head. "It can't be helped. Qin Zhiwan has been following Gu Qingke all this time. She's not smart to begin with, and she's been used as a pawn all the time. I don't know how this person could be my sister!"

"Of course not everyone is as smart as Sister Rong, so let's just ignore her."

Qin Zhirong then continued chatting with others, putting the unpleasantness behind him.

Qin Zhirong is the niece of the fifth prince's mother. Although Qin Zhiwan is not from the same mother, they are from the same family, so they are naturally related.

Logically speaking, since they are relatives, they should naturally get together.

It's a pity that Qin Zhiwan has been influenced by her aunt for so many years and has become stubborn. She wants to marry the fifth prince. Although she can only be a concubine who is not worthy of being seen in public, it is much better than that of ordinary people.

What's more, although the Fifth Prince is weak, he is handsome and has gradually recovered recently. He is definitely the best choice for a husband.

Qin Zhiwan herself had nothing particularly outstanding about her, and her family was not prominent. The only identity she had as the fifth prince's cousin was barely impressive enough, so anyone with a bit of pretension would not be attracted to her.

However, she herself was unwilling to settle for a lower status, so she came up with this idea.

Zuo Zhizhi is the younger sister of the Fifth Prince's wife. If Qin Zhiwan wants to marry the Fifth Prince, she will definitely be the biggest obstacle. So since she entered the academy, she has been impatient with her.

Although I don't dare to cause trouble openly because of other people's face, it is not a solution to keep doing this.

Fortunately, Qin Zhirong was a reasonable person, and she had always been unwilling to let Qin Zhiwan marry the fifth prince, so wherever she was, Zuo Zhizhi could be happy and at ease.

He Zhiyan shook her head and said with a smile, "Alright, forget about them. Marquis Yuan Zhong particularly dotes on Gu Qingke, and she's inevitably irritable. If I get angry with her now, I'll inevitably lose my reputation."

"That's right. Gu Qingke is the daughter of a marquis, but Sister He is also a daughter of a marquis, but she is not as frivolous and self-centered as him. It shows that a person's character cannot be summarized by status alone. It also depends on each person's character."

"Okay, okay, I said a few words and you started teasing me." He Zhiyan smiled and covered her mouth. "Zhizhi finally came back today. Let's not talk about these annoying things. Let her tell us some interesting stories from outside!"

Zuo Zhizhi no longer paid attention to other things, but concentrated on telling everyone about her experiences during this trip.

Even if the daughters of wealthy and noble families were not allowed to go out easily, having the opportunity to go abroad like herself was indeed a unique treatment.

In particular, Zuo Zhizhi stayed outside for quite a long time, during which she saw many beautiful scenery and met many interesting people and things.

Any one of them would be enough to make these young ladies happy for a long time. After all, they hardly have the chance to see it before they are officially married.
