Speaking of the hardships along the way, Housekeeper Zhou felt it would take several days and nights to fully explain. Talking about the Southern Border, the biggest impression was still those white thighs, from initially chanting "see no evil" all the way to becoming comfortable; it can be said they adapted to the local customs.
After all such hard work and exhaustion, Marchioness Jingguo couldn't blame them for returning late. Coming back safely without missing a hair, and bringing the people back, was already a great achievement.
Housekeeper Zhou rewarded them with twenty taels of silver, and each of the accompanying servants received six taels.
Upon receiving the rewards, all tiredness vanished, and eating something became the top priority.
The food from the Southern Border really didn't suit their palate; the cuisine of the Marquis Mansion was much tastier.
