Carriages were a rare sight in the village, so when two magnificent ones rolled in, they immediately attracted a crowd of curious onlookers.
By the time Zhi Wan and her party reached the end of the village, they realized a crowd of villagers, eager to see what was happening, had followed them.
Ouyang Zhenzhu had never seen villagers before. Looking at their simple, honest faces, she was filled with curiosity. She showed none of the airs expected of a Miss of the Marquis Mansion, even waving to the crowd. When she saw children, she pulled out some candy to give to them.
"Pretty Sister, are you here to see Brother Daniu and Brother Erniu?" a boy who had received some candy asked, mustering his courage.
Before Ouyang Zhenzhu could reply, the boy turned to the fenced-in yard ahead and shouted, "Brother Daniu! Brother Erniu! Some important people are here to see you!"
