After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 361 Chen An

Lin Shuyue looked at the well-behaved Gousheng and smiled like a wolf grandmother.

"Gousheng, I'll help you dress up again. Once you're done, I'll take you out for some delicious food, okay?"

"I listen to my sister."

Gousheng answered obediently, his dark eyes, still moist, full of trust.

After an incense stick of time, Lin Shuyue, Qinghe and Qingzhi surrounded a fair-skinned girl with red lips and white teeth, who had her hair combed by a maid and wore a pink skirt. Their eyes were shining.

"Oh, this is not Gou Sheng, it's clearly a cute little girl!" Qing He held her face with both hands, looking like an infatuated girl.

Qingzhi also nodded continuously.

Gousheng looked embarrassed, his tender little face flushed red. He didn't expect that his sister would dress him up as a girl.

"Okay, okay, stop surrounding Gousheng, or he'll cry." Lin Shuyue didn't let him go either.

Gou Sheng stamped his feet in shame and pouted: "Sister, I won't cry."

"Pfft..."

Lin Shuyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Okay, okay, our Gousheng is the best."

"But..." She stroked her chin and looked Gousheng up and down, "How can such a beautiful baby be called Gousheng? I'll give you a different name."

"I listen to my sister."

Gousheng's eyes lit up when he heard this and he nodded happily. He also didn't like the name Gousheng and had long wanted to ask his sister to help him choose a new name.

Lin Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "Well... let's call you Chen An. I'll usually call you An An. It can be used for boys and girls."

"Chen" refers to the time and symbolizes the sun, moon and stars, implying dignity and auspiciousness, while "An" expresses the hope for peace and success.

Gousheng, now Chen An, smiled until his eyes became crescent-shaped. He nodded happily, "Okay, I'll call you Chen An, An An from now on."

Qing He and Qing Zhi were very flattering and said, "An An, this name sounds nice."

"Okay, let's go out for a walk. At noon, we can go to the mutton shop to eat mutton. I heard that the mutton in the north tastes particularly authentic." Lin Shuyue waved her hand and led them out.

The four of them walked from street to street in the city, and they were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods.

After a round of shopping, I bought a lot of things, such as rabbit fur scarves, deerskin boots, rabbit fur hats... and fragrant beef jerky.

It was almost noon when Lin Shuyue took them straight to the mutton shop.

The mutton shop is a small hot pot restaurant. There are already quite a few people sitting here, but most of them are big and strong men.

They sat at a table in groups of three or four, eating mutton with big mouthfuls, drinking Shaodaozi and chatting. The scene was very lively.

After finally finding an empty table in a corner and sitting down, Lin Shuyue couldn't wait to say, "Shopkeeper, give us five pounds of mutton on this table."

"Okay!" The shop owner was a man with a rough voice. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and kept busy with his hands.

When the mutton pot was served, the owner said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot. Don't worry, our mutton is famous in Yangcheng for its delicious taste. I guarantee you won't forget it after eating it."

As she spoke, the shop owner's wife brought over the sauce.

Lin Shuyue was the first to pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of mutton, dip it in the sauce and put it into her mouth.

Well, it tastes really good, without the strong smell of mutton. With the sauce, it is tender and fragrant.

She kept nodding as she chewed, and never forgot to praise: "Shopkeeper, your mutton tastes amazing."

"Hahaha, as long as the customer likes it, please enjoy your meal. I'm going to get busy now."

The shopkeeper smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, flicked his towel and turned around to continue his work.

Qinghe and Qingzhi also rolled up their sleeves and started eating.

Autumn in the north is colder than in other places, and it is so refreshing to eat a hot mutton hotpot.

Because Chen An was still young, we were worried that he would feel uncomfortable in his stomach if he ate too much. So after he ate a little mutton, we asked the store to serve some vermicelli, cabbage and mutton soup, which he paired with the meat buns he had just bought. He was able to fill his stomach.

They were enjoying their meal when they heard a few men at the next table suddenly change the subject and talk about the issue of inspections during entry into the city today.

Person A: "Daniel, don't you think something's really wrong? Not only are the city gates being strictly checked today, but even the exit gates are closed."

B: "Can't get out?"

A: "Yeah, didn't you know? It was closed early this morning. I heard from a few fur traders that they wanted to go through the customs to buy sheepskins from the herders, but they couldn't get out."

B: "Hiss, could it be that the Turks are really coming to attack?"

A: "Who knows? But with the Zhenbei Army here, there will definitely be no problem. It's not like we haven't fought before."

The shop owner, who had just finished serving mutton hotpot to the table next to him, interrupted and complained, "Alas, last year's snowstorm on the grasslands resulted in a lot fewer sheep this year. Now we can't get out of the country. I guess our shop will have to close soon. These damn Turkic barbarians."

"Old Hu, don't think too much. It might be open in a couple of days. We can still come and eat then."

"That's right, with the Zhenbei Army here, what are we afraid of?"

Several old customers came forward to comfort the store owner, and their words showed their trust in the Zhenbei Army.

Lin Shuyue chewed the mutton in big mouthfuls while falling into deep thought.

She remembered what Ye Han had told her about the snowstorm on the grassland outside the Great Wall last year. Since there was not enough food, the Turkic army's invasion was a foregone conclusion.

It is autumn now, and the snow falls early in the north. The Turks will definitely launch an attack before the snow falls, so it will only take one or two months.

Alas, she still wants to go out and take a look.

Qinghe and Qingzhi just thought about what they said and continued eating.

For them, they are not afraid of anything that happens. As long as the lady is there, they will listen to her.

As for Chen An, he took a bite of the meat bun with a fierce expression. Hmm, it smells so good.

In the end, the four of them left the mutton shop with full stomachs.

The four people who were full of food met a candied haws seller shortly after they came out of the mutton shop. So, under the pretext of hawthorn being good for digestion, the four of them each ate a string of candied haws and continued shopping.

It gets dark early in the north. When night fell, the four of them put the spoils of the day back into the inn and found a restaurant for dinner.

As soon as I came out of the restaurant after dinner, I met a few acquaintances.

However, those familiar people did not recognize her and passed by her while talking.

"Miss, that's Captain Hu and the others, right?" Qingzhi turned around and looked at the men who had just walked into the restaurant.

Lin Shuyue nodded and walked out, saying softly, "It's them. They probably didn't recognize us. Let's go back."

Now not only did she change back into women's clothes, but Qinghe and Qingzhi also changed back into women's clothes after arriving in Yangcheng. In addition, Chen An was a six-year-old child, so it was normal that Captain Hu and others did not recognize him.

However, since we are just acquaintances, there is no need to recognize each other specifically. Just let nature take its course.
