Although it is already February, this year's winter is severe, and the snow on the roadside has not yet melted, and the sun shines on it, reflecting a dazzling white light, and the world looks white.

There were no pedestrians on this stretch of road, and there were occasional birdsong in the silent mountain forest, and the sun was getting bigger, although it was very warm, but after walking too much, a fine sweat came out.

"Girl, why don't you take a break. Lan Xin picked up a few leaves on the side of the road and used them as simple fans, fanning himself for a while, and for Yao Shi for a while.

Yao Xian wasn't too tired, but her mouth was a little dry, she nodded, and let Lan Xin sit on the side of the road to rest, while she went to find a clean snowdrift.

The snow was cold and cold, and it was very comfortable to hold in his hand, Yao Yan grabbed a handful of snow and ate it, and suddenly a cool water stain dripped down his throat, and the only bit of heat on his body was gone.

She ate a few more handfuls of snow until her teeth were a little numb. Came to Lan Xin and sat down, casually looking around, although there was still a lot of snow on the ground, but there were green shoots on the branches, which looked pink and lovely.

"Girl-----" Lan Xin glanced at Yao Xian, then withdrew her gaze, her toes poked the ground for a while, and after a while, a small pile of loose soil was poked.

Yao Xi saw that she wanted to speak again, and asked with a smile: "If you have something to say, there is nothing to shy away from." ”

Lan Xin glanced at Yao Xi again, retracted her gaze, her face was still hesitant, she looked at Yao Xi again, the gentle smile in the latter's eyes gave her a little more courage, she took a breath softly, and after a long time, she pleaded cautiously: "Girl----- when you enter school, can you ----- bring Lan Xin with you?"

Her voice was very small, so small that even if Yao Xi sat next to her, he only happened to hear a rough idea. She stared timidly at her feet, not daring to look at Yao Shi's expression.

She knew that she had made excessive demands, so although this idea had been there for a long time, she had never dared to bring it up, and to this day, if it were not for the current circumstances, she would not be able to open her mouth.

Lan Xin has been uneasy in her heart, since she came to take care of Yao Xi, she has nothing to do, most of the things in the house are done by the girl herself, which makes her panic.

She knows that the girl is not used to being served, but she was born to do things that serve people, if she doesn't do this, she can't find the value of her own existence, there is no value, and the girl will let her follow all the time?

Now that the old lady has returned to the village, and the girl will have to enter the academy in half a month, she seems to have seen that she has been persuaded to leave by the girl's kind words.

But she didn't want to leave, her deed of sale was in the Qiu family, if she didn't stay with the girl, she would have to go to the Qiu Mansion to serve people, but she would rather serve the girl and get less money than go to the house.

These days, she followed the girl, admired and envied the girl's talent, and she even secretly learned a few words. But in the house, the subordinates don't need to learn this, and they don't have the opportunity to learn it.

But she wants to learn, and what is in front of her is a good example. There is something called "thought" in her heart, but she doesn't understand it very well, she only has one thing clear, she doesn't want to leave the girl, and wants to follow the girl into Yangshan Academy.

But she knows what her identity is, but she is just a servant of people, not to mention entering Yangshan Academy, even if she holds a book in her hand, she will be ridiculed by others.

Lan Xin's breathing was a little short, she glanced at Yao Xian uneasily, and quickly withdrew her gaze, and said with a reluctant smile: "Lan Xin said something that shouldn't be said, don't blame the girl, Lan Xin is talking nonsense." ”

It turned out that just for this little thing, seeing that Lan Xin was scared like this, Yao Yan couldn't help but say: "What's so difficult about this, if you want to go, you can follow me, but it's best to pretend to be my scholar, and each person is allowed to bring a scholar in the academy." ”

Lan Xin was shocked and couldn't believe it, it was as simple as that? She said hesitantly: "Girl--- girl agreed, and the girl won't persuade Lan Xin to leave?"

Yao Yan smiled and nodded, she was also thinking about how to arrange Lan Xin, if she had thought before, she would return Lan Xin to Qiu Ji, Qiu Ji would definitely be able to give Lan Xin a good place to go.

It's just that she didn't expect that Lan Xin would be willing to follow her to the academy. Although it is a place that students yearn for, it is not the case for the girl's family, there are all men around, and everything is carried out in the academy, and the girl's family is inevitably afraid and shy.

But Ruolan wants to go with her, it's good, firstly, she has a companion, and secondly, it is also good for Lan Xin, although Lan Xin thinks that she is inferior to others, but Yao Xian doesn't see it that way, she feels that she and Lan Xin are the same, she can pursue herself, and Lan Xin can naturally pursue it.

Her thinking is rare in this era, and even more rigid than many men, she is the special one, and she naturally looks at problems in a different way of thinking.

Lan Xin was surprised and delighted, happily holding Yao Xian's hand and not knowing what to do, she could only thank her over and over again, and finally couldn't help it, but cried with joy.

Yao Yan comforted for a while, and when he saw that he was almost gone, he proposed: "Let's walk a little longer, see if we can touch a carriage or something, otherwise we can only walk back, so it will take at least an hour or two, and the road will not be delayed." ”

Lan Xin hurriedly followed, fanning Yao Shi diligently, and said with a smile: "Don't do anything by yourself if the girl has anything in the future, just tell Lan Xin, Lan Xin is now serving the girl." ”

Yao Yan smiled and said no more on this topic. The two walked for about two quarters of an hour, and Lan Xin suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look, girl, there is a carriage." ”

When the coachman who was driving the carriage saw Yao Xi and the others, he flicked the whip lightly, and the horse ran up, and soon came to Yao Yan, and asked, "Is one of the two Yao girls and the other Lan girls?"

Yao Xi was a little surprised: "What does the old man mean by this?"

The coachman smiled: "Don't be afraid, the old man is in a hurry, a son surnamed Qiu gave the old man ten taels of silver, let the old man go all the way out of the city along this road, if you see two girls who want to enter the city, send the two into the city." ”

Lan Xin was overjoyed, "Girl, it's Young Master Qiu, Young Master Qiu is really thoughtful, and he even thinks of sending a coachman to pick up the girl." ”

Yao Yan smiled slightly, although there was not much surprise on her face, but she was still shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Qiu Ji to even take this aspect into account, and she didn't know what to feel in her heart for a while, like a sweet sugar cane mixed with a trace of bitterness, which made her happy, but also a little more melancholy.

What are you thinking about! Yao shook her head, it would be nice to have a carriage, she said the names of herself and Lan Xin, the coachman smiled, invited the two of them to get into the carriage, and then got in the carriage and walked towards the city.

"The old man was supposed to be earlier, but he was delayed for a while. I didn't touch anyone else along the way, and when I looked at the two of them, I knew that it was the young master who said it. ”

On the way back, the coachman talked to Yao Xianlan from time to time, and he drove fast, only for more than half an hour, there were more pedestrians on the road, but it was because he wanted to enter the city.
