The sun is rising higher and higher, and the snow on the ground is shining with crystal light. The breeze brings coldness, cold and fresh.

There is Baihe Town ahead. There is a man in a blue shirt at the intersection. He is tall and standing facing the donkey cart, as if waiting for someone.

Madam Li recognized that it was her third son Li Jinbao. Tongxin came up and deliberately hid on the side of Ningxiang, shrank her neck and said, "Ningxiang lowered her head, and we will scare him later." In the past, she had been taking Guo Laosan's mule cart home, and the third son would definitely not have thought she would be in another car.

Ningxiang laughed silently, listening to Mama Li, she shrank her body and her head tilted toward the back of the car.

This joyful atmosphere infected Lu Cheng. He shook his whip and the donkey cart walked faster. However, when the distance was closer, Lu Cheng felt puzzled. This man was wearing a silk dress. No matter how rich Baihe Town was, it was just a small town. Why did he dress up like the New Year when he came out to pick up his mother?

They were all men, and Lu Cheng quickly understood the other party’s thoughts.

He looked back at Ningxiang.

The little girl tilted her head back, and he only saw half of her white face and the corners of her raised mouth.

The two should be very familiar with each other? Perhaps, Madam Li’s son is not wishful thinking?

For some reason, the relaxed mood just now disappeared. Lu Cheng pursed the corner of his lips, and at this moment, he suddenly laughed again.

So what if they are in love with each other, what does it have to do with him?

The gray-haired donkey shook its tail as he walked. Lu Cheng's eyes were attracted by the donkey's tail. But when he got closer, he couldn't help but look at the people on the roadside. Seeing that the other party was still pretty, his face was a bit stupid, and he looked at the distance and turned a blind eye to his donkey cart. Lu Cheng shook his head and stopped the donkey cart in time.

Li Jinbao then turned to the donkey cart.

"You silly boy!" Madam Li laughed loudly, raised her head from Ningxiang, and looked at her son happily.

"Mom!" Li Jinbao was very surprised. He ran to the donkey cart in three or two steps, and while helping his mother carry the bag, he asked her strangely, "Why didn't you get in Guo Laosan's car today?" He talked to his mother, but glanced at Ningxiang several times.

"Brother Li San." Ningxiang also got out of the car with Mama Li, stood still and greeted Li Jinbao with a smile.

She stood there pretty, her cheeks were white and red like a red plum blossom. Li Jinbao was nervously sweating and said stutteringly: "Ningxiang, why do you seem to have lost weight?"

The only man Ningxiang often deals with is Pei Jinghan. Although she lived a lifetime, Ningxiang only lived to be fifteen years old in her previous life. The little girl had to worry about her family and was afraid to guard against the bullying Pei Jinghan, so she didn't know much about normal men. At this time, Li Jinbao's eyes were warm but pure and simple, and she did not have the desire for aggression and desire that Ningxiang had experienced from Pei Jinghan, and the relationship between Li Ma, she regarded Li Jinbao as her brother from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she did not notice Li Jinbao's intentions.

"Is there any?" Ningxiang didn't want to mention that she had just recovered from a serious illness, so she smiled and perfunctorily passed by.

Of course, Madam Li knew her son. Ningxiang was so beautiful. There were few young men who were not moved when they saw her. However, seeing the prince's favoritism towards Ningxiang Suyue, he obviously wanted to use it. Madam Li had no choice but to hope that her son would not fall too deeply.

She pulled her son to introduce Lu Cheng to him.

Li Jinbao looked at the tall man in front of him who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes but handsome, and then looked at Ningxiang. When he thought that the two of them had to spend more than ten miles alone, his brows frowned, fearing that Ningxiang would be bullied.

But Madam Li didn't give her son a chance to talk nonsense. She looked at the sun and urn Ningxiang was about to get on the bus, "Okay, let's go first, you can continue to rush, and we'll go back together tomorrow afternoon." She is an old man in the mansion, and her monthly leave is one more than the little maids. Before, the two of them just went home with each other. Now Ningxiang has Suyue's leave and can take a car when she returns.

Ningxiang nodded, got back on the donkey cart, and sat firmly. She waved to both Madam Li.

Madam Li replied with a loving smile and continued to stand for a while before pulling her son away. I don’t know how many times she reminded him, “Ningxiang may not be able to leave the house. You should give up as soon as possible. If you dress like this, you really don’t mind being laughed at by others!” So ​​Ningxiang simply couldn’t see it.

Li Jinbao looked back at the donkey cart that had gone away, and begged his mother again, "Mom, our family has money, can't you help Ningxiang redeem herself? You obviously like her too..."

"Do you think the Marquis' Mansion is the one you want to go in if you want to go?" Madam Li twisted her son's arm hard and stared at him, "You know Ning Xiangmei, isn't the prince's eyes blind? Don't you play tricks on me, marry me as soon as possible this year..."

The mother and the mother were quarreling all the way, and most of the things they said were Ningxiang, but Ningxiang knew nothing.

She was still sitting in the previous position, but there was no Madam Li next to her. When Madam Li talked to him, the car suddenly became deserted, with only the sound of the wheels crushing the snow, creaking. She peeked at the straight back of the man in front of her. It was the first time that she was alone with a strange man, Ningxiang was a little uncomfortable.

"You go home once a month?" Lu Cheng asked for a while, looking ahead.

Seeing that he did not turn around, Ningxiang relaxed a little and nodded softly. After ummy, she felt that her attitude was a little cold. Ningxiang quickly said, "Fortunately, I met you this time, otherwise we would have to squeeze in the car with those people." Madam Li thanked, but she hadn't thanked him yet.

Lu Cheng smiled, "Our neighboring village will take you all the way."

Everything was difficult at the beginning. Now that it was time to start, Ningxiang completely thought that the other party was a villager. He asked him curiously, "The city is so far away, why don't you go to the town in the north to sell firewood? The price should be no different. When you go to the city, you have to get up at the time of Yin?" There is a town to the north of the two villages, only six miles apart.

Her voice was soft, the best voice Lu Cheng had ever heard, and finally couldn't help looking back at her.

Ningxiang suddenly realized that she was talking too much, her face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head.

If someone wants to go to Fucheng, she goes to Fucheng. What are she doing so much?

Her thoughts were written on her face, and Lu Cheng sniffed and said, "My third uncle lives in the capital city. I have something to ask him for, and I will take the firewood to sell it."

Ningxiang suddenly realized, but because of the embarrassment just now, she didn't want to say anything more.

Without saying anything, Lu Cheng thought of her sweet smile at Li Jinbao and asked in a chat: "How many years have you been in the Marquis' Mansion? What are your plans in the future? Always be a maid, or save money to redeem yourself?"

This girl is beautiful and gentle. Lu Cheng cannot deny that she is a little moved. The nearby village is not without beautiful girls, but she is the first person to make him have a close idea, so she wants to ask clearly. If she always wants to be a maid, he can only give up. If she is determined to redeem herself, he will want to give up.

I was thinking about getting married, but my tone was very casual.

Reincarnation is to restore good family life. Being a maid may lead to wealth, but it is a low family life.

Ningxiang was afraid that the villagers would misunderstand her. She was so mean, so she pinched the oil paper around the corners and lowered her eyes and said, "I want to redeem myself. My brother is too young. I want to go home to take care of him, but I am not sure when I will leave the house. Please don't tell others, otherwise it will reach the master's ears, and I'm afraid he will be unhappy."

Redeem yourself and go home to raise your younger brother.

It turns out that she is not the kind of maid who is fascinated by wealth and wants to be an aunt or marry a maid.

Lu Cheng stared at her soft side face, and the more he looked, the more he liked it, he tentatively said: "Where are you doing things in the Marquis' Mansion? It's hard for the people above to talk to?" Madam Li talked so much, but did not mention Ningxiang's errand.

Ningxiang pursed her lips.

Last year, she became Pei Jinghan's eldest maid, and there were gossips in the village that she could be an aunt. She didn't want people from other villages to misunderstand.

"The people in the mansion are very kind, just to train the maids. They have to find new ones after I leave, and they will be dissatisfied with some." She deliberately vaguely went over, afraid that he would doubt or ask questions, Ningxiang tried to raise her head naturally and asked him with a smile, "Did you buy chestnuts for your sister to eat?"

She was determined to change the topic, and Lu Cheng cooperated and said, "Yes, she was greedy and begged me several times last night."

"It's like this for children." He kept his head away, and Ningxiang still didn't have the courage to look at him all the time. He lowered his head and pretended to check if the oil-paper bag was tied tightly. "By the way, Anan is only ten months old, don't give it to him directly. It's better to cook it and mash it into a paste and feed it to him. Feed one at a time and feed it again a few days later. The chestnuts are raised, but it's not good if you eat too much."

He was gentle and able to take care of children. Lu Cheng looked at the little girl sitting there and suddenly had an impulse to take her home and become a wife.

But it's just thinking about it.

Retracting his gaze, Lu Cheng praised sincerely: "Thank you for reminding you that it is his blessing to have a good sister like you."

After helping someone, Ningxiang pursed her lips and smiled. The sun was warm and it felt very comfortable to fall on her body. She looked at the man on the throne and said softly: "I'll take a nap first, it's almost time to call me?" She said in advance so that he would not get an answer to the question, thinking that she was rude.

She spoke softly, inadvertently expressing her trust in him. Lu Cheng's voice couldn't help but soften, "Okay."

There was no movement behind her, and after walking for a while, Lu Chengcai turned around and saw her put her bag on her knees and slept with her bag on her pillow. Her face was facing outward, and her silhouette was petite and pityful.

My heart suddenly became soft, as if it was his wife. The two had just returned from visiting relatives.

Lu Chengduo glanced at her and drove the donkey cart steadily, for fear of bumping her.

Ningxiang was recovering from a serious illness and was indeed sleepy. However, she felt uncomfortable while sitting and sleeping. She woke up three or four miles away from Liuxi Village. She opened her eyes and recognized the familiar country road. The snow was even more severe at home. The fields were covered with white space, and only the snow was thin on the ridges, revealing brown soil.

The snow in the middle of the road was compacted by footprints and carts. The snow on both sides was as old as before. The poplar trees had lost all their leaves, and the top branches seemed to be about to pierce the blue sky above.

Silent and ethereal.

Ningxiang maintained a napping posture, looking at the snow scene in her hometown greedily. In her mind, she was the merchant ship heading south, the cold river water, and the figure playing on this road as a child, and the little body that her younger brother stayed in her arms.

The donkey cart suddenly stopped.

Ningxiang turned her head in surprise, and tears in her eyes suddenly fell down because of this action.

Lu Cheng staggered in front of the pedestal.

He was almost at Liuxi Village. He wanted to wake her up. He stopped because before waking her, he wanted to secretly look at her sleeping face. He jumped down and turned around. She also turned around. Tears rolled down from her beautiful almond eyes. She was quiet and sad and unaware of it, like a helpless child.

Lu Cheng believes that he is good at dealing with people, but when faced with such a thing, she doesn't know what to say.

Ningxiang knew that she was incompetent, so she quickly lowered her head, rubbed her eyes and smiled awkwardly: "The wind blew the sand in just now..."

"The wind is quite strong at home." Lu Cheng didn't want to embarrass her, so he followed her words. After saying that, he suppressed his confusion. He pretended to check the rope that was wrapped around the donkey, "There are a few people in the intersection ahead. Do you think you are here to pick you up?"

Ningxiang felt happy and looked around.

The road is north-south, and there is a fork in front of it. Ningxiang got off from Guo Laosan when he was in Guo Laosan's car, and then walked west along the path. He could get home in about a quarter of an hour. At this moment, there were indeed three figures standing on the west side of the fork in the road, one shorter than the other, like a ladder.

Ningxiang burst into tears and laughed, knowing that it was her family, cousin Xu Huai, cousin Xu Qiuer, and younger brother Amu.
