Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were the only two people in their carriage, with the old Lady Song and others sitting in the carriage behind, and only Song Xing, the coachman, driving the carriage.
Because Song Xing was there, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't chat much. Instead, they played chess all the way or Zhou Shuren read books to Zhulan.
Song Xing sat outside the carriage with a stern face—he had never seen a couple with a better relationship than Magistrate Zhou and his wife!
There were two pregnant women in the Zhou family, so the carriage did not travel fast. With the snow from the first month not yet melted and the roads flattened, the journey wasn't bumpy at all, and Zhulan really didn't suffer.
That evening, they arrived at the post station. With plenty of maids and young servants from home, everything was quickly settled.
Changing the entire room to their own usage, Zhulan felt sentimental, "What I imagined in the past has now all come true."
