Chapter 1108

By the time they got to town, it was late the night before the birthday celebration.They got off the car at the clothing store owned by their mother Shana's brother, slept in a corner of the store, and were woken up by their mother's whining voice.

"Oh, with such a bad face, can you see His Majesty the King and Queen?"

Xia Enxue rubbed her eyes and got up, looking at the scenery outside the window, she gradually came to her senses.It was still dark when they arrived in the city, and Xia Enxue wanted to sleep again, unable to see clearly the appearance of the city they visited for the first time.

The houses are built densely together, just like all the houses in the village are gathered together, but the number is far more than all the houses in the village.She thought it was the sound of hammers striking iron, but it was actually the sound coming from the towering bell tower.Mother said it was the bell ringing when the city gate was opened, and the unfamiliar creaking sound was the sound of the carriage wheels pressing on the cobblestones of the street.

"Stop dawdling, change your clothes quickly. You go wash your hair first!"

Although Shana's eldest brother's store is not wide, it is very spacious inside, and there is an atrium separated from the place where he lives.Xia Enxue took some cold water from the well in the atrium and quickly rinsed her body.

In the end, Xia Enxue didn't make new clothes. She just took a skirt with embroidered patterns and lining that Xia Sijia had worn at the village celebration and went out.Only the top was the new one given to her by Uncle Doma last night.It seems that the daughter of a merchant came to the store to make orders, but she didn't come to pay for the leftover clothes.

Xia Enxue's crescent-shaped guardian knife hung quietly under her clothes.The blade of the single-edged sword was cast at the last moment before going out, and a hole was punched in the handle, which was tied with the other end of the leather cord tied to the scabbard.Once the knife is put into the scabbard, the new moon will lie on Xia Enxue's chest and become a necklace.All she had to do was pull the rope to draw the knife, though she probably wouldn't have much chance of drawing it in front of anyone.

After combing and parting her wet, tangled hair, Xia Enxue was finally ready.The mirror reflected a slightly more decent self than usual.

Uncle and aunt gave them white bread and thick slices of ham for breakfast.These are delicacies that cannot be eaten in the village unless there is a celebration, but the cousins ​​who are younger than Xia Enxue complained while eating: "Is there no celebration meal today?"

When Xia Enxue involuntarily wanted to reach for the second piece of ham, her mother stomped on her, while her father almost didn't eat anything.

"You are in the castle, you must have a celebratory meal. When you come back, you have to tell me what you said to the king, Shana!"

Hearing what his uncle said, my father laughed nervously.

"Brother, the person being served is Xia Enxue, not Shana."

My mother immediately retorted sharply: "You don't need to tell me, everyone knows it!"

"We are here to represent the village, so we must not embarrass everyone."

On the way to the city, the two always had similar quarrels, which made Xia Enxue feel annoyed.

However, after Xia Enxue said goodbye to her uncle and came to the street, she had no time to think about it.Perhaps it was because of the celebration, the road was crowded with people, and even all the windows on both sides of the road were poked out, shouting at each other excitedly.

As they got closer to the castle, Xia Enxue and her father were immediately overwhelmed by its size. The city wall extending from the gate was almost as high as the windbreak forest outside the village.Just looking up at the main building of the castle and the towers on both sides made Xia Enxue's neck feel sore.It was the first time she had seen such a large building, and she couldn't even imagine how many stones would be used to build such a building.
