The Zhou Residence

The voices of people on the side of the road, was heard very clearly by Yu Jun from inside the carriage. The hustle and bustle of the main city has its own characteristics. After traveling all day long, only hearing the sound of the wind or carriage passing by once in a while, Yu Jun finally saw a crowd.

Yu Jun opened the curtain of her carriage window, looked at the buildings and atmosphere in the main city, there were many ornaments welcoming the spring festival which was in a few days. After being satisfied seeing the atmosphere of the main city from the carriage window, Yu Jun tidied up all the books on the carriage floor that had been scattered.

The driver drives a carriage at a slow speed, the busy road makes the carriage only able to run slowly. Qiuyue saw that in front was a T-junction leading to the alleyway of the Zhou residence.

"Sister Yu Jun" called Qiuyue in a rather loud voice.

"Yes, Brother Qiuyue." Yu Jun opened the curtains again to look at Qiuyue.

"In front of the T-junction, we will part here. The alchemy shop I'm going to go to is not in the same alley as Zhou's residence" Qiuyue told me.

"Fine, thank you for arranging me back. See you later"expressed Yu Jun with a polite smile.

Qiuyue stopped the horse he was riding, he looked at the carriage of Yu Jun until the girl didn't see him from the carriage window. After they had gotten some distance, Qiuyue followed closely behind.

Actually he didn't need to rush to the alchemy shop, what he said to Yu Jun was just an excuse. If Qiuyue is seen escorting Yu Jun to the gates of the Zhou residence, he is afraid that bad rumors will spread. Moreover, Qiuyue has never been seen socializing with anyone, girls or boys her age.

The carriage stopped at the red gate which was guarded by two guards. Yu Jun came out of the carriage and was approached by the two guards.

"Miss Yu Jun, you are back" uttered one of the guards

"Yes, please take all the books in the carriage, and bring them into the house," Yu Jun ordered to the guard.

"Oh, thank you sir" said Yu Jun to the carriage driver. Qiuyue had already told her that she didn't have to pay for the vehicle fare. So she doesn't have to worry about calculating carriage costs.

Qiuyue who was still watching from afar was relieved, and turned the horse back towards the alchemy shop.

Stepping into the Zhou residence, two female servants half ran over to her.

"Miss is back" declared the three of them at the same time.

Yu Jun's steps stopped to wait for the guard who brought her books, after the figure of one of the guards appeared, Yu Jun asked the female servant to bring the books into her room.

The residence of the Zhou Clan is very large, after entering the main gate is the first courtyard for receiving guests, then entering the second door, then the family's personal room.

Each stage of the room is bordered by high stone walls. When entering the second door, the structure of the building is square, with the inner courtyard or second courtyard in the middle. So that all the rooms surround the courtyard.

The back of the building is designated for the guest room, this room is behind the main building. The back of the building is also given a small gate for emergency access.

In the inner courtyard of the Zhou residence, Zhou Yubi was practicing martial arts with a wooden sword. Awakened by the presence of someone staring at him, Yubi turned around to see who it was.

"Xiao Yu is back" shouted Yubi with his dazzling smile.

"Where grandpa?"

"Not back from the meeting yet, have you eaten?"

"Yes, if possible I want to rest now. If Grandpa comes back, may brother Yubi tell him, I will meet him tomorrow at breakfast" Yu Jun request.

"Brother will say. Get some rest" affirmed Yubi.

Yu Jun walked following her servant who was holding the book, because she had never been at the Zhou residence, Yu Jun deliberately slowed her steps so she could follow her servant's steps without arousing any suspicion.

Talking to the original Yu Jun brother actually scared her, she had seen her face in the mirror given by brother Juan and her face was still her own face. Although she could not see her complete body appearance yet because the mirror she used before was only pocket-sized.

So far, everyone who knew Yu Jun didn't suspect her at all, which meant that their faces were similar. Their bodies may also be very similar, according to her analysis. That's why she wanted to shut herself up in the room, at least until tonight. Avoid interacting with people and inspecting her body in detail.
