Zhou Hongmei felt extremely anxious following Hua Yan to the Capital City, and Zhou Rui also felt considerable pressure.
Having lived in the remote Qingyuan City since childhood, Zhou Hongmei had almost never stepped out of Qingyuan City. Zhou Rui, being quite young, had only gone hunting with his father and brothers within a hundred miles of the city. Thus, during the long journey to the Capital City, Zhou Hongmei sat in the carriage, occasionally looking outside, while Zhou Rui rode beside the guards, taking in the scenery along the way. Both of them truly realized how vast and rich Nanchu was.
It is said that traveling thousands of miles teaches more than reading thousands of books.
The thoughts that Zhou Hongmei had repressed in her heart about leaving Qingyuan City erupted as they traveled each segment of the road. She thought, the things recorded in travel books somewhat differ from reality; seeing is indeed believing.
