Chapter 279: Asking for Hardship
In fact, I don't blame Xiaomi for thinking too much, in the past, in modern times, when watching TV movies, the least favorite plot to watch was an unexpected accident. has already left the capital, Xiaomi wants to leave quickly, the farther she goes, the better, she is afraid of extraneous branches.
followed behind Luo Qingfeng with fear, and wondered in his heart, how did they find out that they were missing? Is it a maidservant in the courtyard? What she was even more curious about was that even if the people in the Zhong Mansion found out that she was gone, how did Yin Zixuan know?
Did Zhong Fu tell him in order to find someone?
Just thinking about it, Luo Qingfeng, who was walking in front, stopped outside a farmhouse, motioned for Xiaomi to wait outside, he pushed the door and went in, and when he came out again, he was holding a horse in his hand. "Wait until you get to the town ahead, and then buy a carriage."
"I want to buy a horse." Xiaomi has long wanted to buy a horse, and Yin Zixuan gave her one, but unfortunately she hasn't ridden it yet.
"You? Horseback riding? Luo Qingfeng asked uncertainly. In my impression, I know that Xiaomi has ridden a horse. It was at the eldest brother's house, Luo Hu and they all wanted to ride horses, so they let a few children get on the horses one by one to have a good time.
At that time, there were people leading horses, and others were following closely.
"Sixth uncle, don't look down on people, I can ride a horse now, although the carriage can shelter from the wind and rain, where is there a gallop on horseback." Facing this sixth uncle, Xiaomi's tone naturally carried a little bit of coquettishness from juniors to elders.
"Millet, you won't fall off on horseback, it's not the same thing as galloping on horseback." Luo Qingfeng reminded her very calmly out of safety considerations.
Xiaomi almost wanted to say, why don't you lend me your horse first and ride a few laps for you? But she knew it in her heart. This sixth uncle is for his own good. Therefore, even if Xiaomi was anxious, he didn't feel that he was verbose.
She said very solemnly that she could ride a horse, and she rode it very well.
"Did he teach you?" Luo Qingfeng asked curiously.
"Well, sort of." In order to have a horse of her own earlier, Xiaomi was very vague and did not deny it.
After Luo Qingfeng heard this. Squinted his eyes and looked at Xiaomi thoughtfully; "Xiaomi. When I asked him, was he talking to you about a person? How do you know who I'm asking? ”
Yes? Xiaomi was stunned and blinked her eyes. I feel inexplicably empty. "After I came to the capital, I stayed by his side for the longest time, not to mention him, which one else? I said, Uncle Six, what do you mean by that? ”
The sixth uncle asked casually. Why are you so nervous? Okay, if you want to buy Uncle Ma, it's enough to buy it for you. But there is no horse market here, so we have to go to the next town. Luo Qingfeng decided, no matter whether Xiaomi can ride a horse or not, it's a big deal to teach her to ride by himself.
When it comes to the horse market in the next town, pick a more docile one for her. A slightly smaller one will do.
Luo Qingfeng also thought about it, this girl is so young, just thinking about the pleasure of galloping on a horse. But I didn't care what season it was. At this temperature, galloping on a horse?
"Okay. Then Uncle Six, let's hurry up. When Xiaomi thought of the scene at the gate of the city in the early morning, she was a little frightened, and hurriedly urged.
Seeing that Xiaomi was so eager to leave, Luo Qingfeng nodded helplessly; "You get on the horse."
"Oh." Millet didn't think much about it, stepped forward and grabbed the saddle, stepped on the pedals and got on the horse's back.
Seeing that her action on the horse was so swift, Luo Qingfeng was stunned, and immediately smiled. She was a smart and bold person, and it was not unusual for her to learn to ride a horse.
"Hey, Sixth Uncle, aren't you coming up?" Xiaomi saw that Luo Qingfeng was holding the reins and walking towards the side of the road, and he had walked out of the road for a while, and he didn't mean to get on the horse yet, so he couldn't help but ask. If you go this way, you won't be able to get far until dark.
"Sixth uncle, look at the clothes of the two of us, obviously, I am an old servant. You say, I'm on a horse, and you're leading the horse, what will others think when they see it? Xiaomi looked at Luo Qingfeng's expression, and suddenly seemed to understand, this person has too many concerns.
Xiaomi guessed correctly, Luo Qingfeng did have concerns. Millet is not his niece, and men and women are not close to God. However, Xiaomi's words are not unreasonable. He looked down at the brocade robe on his body, and Mi was wearing the kind of coarse cotton jacket and cotton pants that his subordinates wore.
Well, we'll have to find a suitable place to change her face. She also has to change her clothes, and she has to dress up as a son, and walk outside if she is commensurate with her uncle and nephew, which is much more convenient for a long time.
Look at the road is about to arrive, there are a lot of pedestrians passing by the road, and I really have to see Ni Duan carefully. Luo Qingfeng hesitated, motioned for Xiaomi to sit back, and he got on the horse and sat in front. This can not only block the wind chill for the girl behind her, but also block her face from arousing the curiosity of others.
After sitting down, he immediately noticed a tightness in his waist, tilted his head to look, and couldn't help but be happy, this girl was afraid of falling, and she knew how to pull his cloak.
"Sixth uncle, your horse should be able to eat, right?" There was Luo Qingfeng's burden on horseback, and there was another self, she asked with some concern.
"It's okay." After Luo Qingfeng finished speaking, he remembered again that he should take off the cloak on his body and put it on her. Thinking of it, he started to untie the cloak, and Millet asked what to do behind him, and when he heard that he was going to put the cloak on himself, he quickly refused.
"Sixth uncle, it's colder in front, otherwise it's fine." When Millet refused, he lifted his cloak and got inside.
Yes? Is that okay? Is it really appropriate? After struggling for a while, Luo Qingfeng laughed at himself. What are you doing, even if you are not related by blood, she is also her elder. She trusted herself so much, why did she think so much? If you want to make it simpler, she is her niece, isn't it just married?
Thinking like this, Luo Qingfeng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. As soon as the legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse understood, spread its hooves and began to run.
really left, Yin Zixuan, you must be well. Mrs. Zhong, you also have to be well, as well as a few big brothers from Yihai Commercial Bank, I, Yuan Xiaomi, am here to wish you good health and all the best.
In the cloak, Xiaomi silently prayed in her heart for the people she was worried about. Although there was a thrilling and smooth exit from the city, he also behaved casually in front of Luo Qingfeng, but. She was really sad in her heart.
Xiaomi likes to go out and play freely, but she doesn't like to experience this way again, although she walks very chicly, without dragging mud and water, but after all, it is because of necessity. This feeling of no roots, no stable home. It's really bad.
Come to think of it. Xiaomi even felt so sad about herself. As soon as his eyes were sore, tears could not stop flowing. Her face was against Luo Qingfeng's back, but fortunately, it was winter. No amount of tears will soak his cotton clothes, and he will not notice.
She suddenly thought sadly that the two times she ran away was because of men, and the first time was that Meng Qiyu. If it weren't for him, the Lu family would not force himself to go back, even if he had to face leaving sooner or later. That would be at least a few years away.
If you leave Yunling Town in a few years, it may be another opportunity, even if you go in the direction of the capital, you may not necessarily meet Yin Zixuan. Maybe you will live in the capital until you are old. It won't have anything to do with Zhong Fu.
For Meng Qiyu, she didn't feel it at all, but for Yin Zixuan. She didn't know when, and she didn't realize it. There was another thing that made her sad. That is, whether it is Yin Zixuan who feels it, or Meng Qiyu who doesn't feel it, although the appearance is impeccable and the family conditions are also superior, the key problem is that there are women around everyone.
Meng Qiyu not only has a wife, but also a small one. When I met Yin Zixuan, although he didn't have a main room, there were several concubines in the backyard. Even if there is nothing to do with Princess Ouyang, he does not meet Xiaomi's mate selection conditions.
The biggest problem is that the ancient people were not very old when they got married. It is actually really difficult to find a man who is of the right age and fully meets his own conditions, and there are no women around him.
Speaking of her mate selection conditions, it doesn't sound harsh. As long as the two of them have feelings for each other, but in fact, it is not as simple as it says!
Is this my first love after coming to the capital of this dynasty? Xiaomi thinks back to her first encounter with Yin Zixuan, and she really thinks it's beautiful to get along with each other and get along. It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is, it can only be cherished in the depths of memory and become a beautiful memory.
The sky was snowflakes again, and the pace of the pedestrians on the road became more and more hurried, and no one would notice that there was a man under the cape of the handsome man on a galloping horse.
When it was dark, I finally arrived at the town that Luo Qingfeng said. After getting off the horse, looking at the sky, Xiaomi did not go to the horse market first, but obediently followed Luo Qingfeng into a small inn.
Luo Qingfeng asked for an upper room, and originally wanted to go out for dinner together, but seeing that Xiaomi had been bumping on horseback for nearly a day, it was cold and tired, so he simply let Xiaomi rest in the inn, and he went out to buy dinner by himself.
For dinner that day, there were two meat and one vegetable, and there was also a crucian carp soup and a few large steamed buns.
Luo Qingfeng was worried that Xiaomi was in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that this girl's appetite was even better than his. I thought the fake beard was in the way, so I pulled off the beard and put it aside.
Looking at Xiaomi's eating appearance, Luo Qingfeng actually wondered in his heart, obviously the days by the side of that prince were not short, and the people who entered the Zhong Mansion again, why did they behave now as well as when they were in Yunling Town?
She is like this, Zhong Shangshu's family must think that it is the responsibility of the Luo family, and they didn't discipline her well.
"Tired, aren't you? Why don't we buy a carriage? If you like horseback riding, how about we buy it when the weather is better? Luo Qingfeng asked with a smile.
He felt that Millet had been on horseback for a day now, and he must have suffered enough and didn't want to ride a horse anymore. The little girl's family should take a carriage when they go out for a long journey. In addition, he planned not to leave in a hurry the next day, but to buy some necessities in the town.
Cotton clothes, charcoal or something, and buy her some dried fruits and snacks to prepare, so that she won't look bored in the carriage.
For Luo Qingfeng's proposal, Xiaomi did not immediately deny it, and this time on horseback, it can be regarded as experiencing the taste of winter horseback riding. If you ride a horse slowly in the snow, it may be good, as long as it doesn't take too long.
Now she knows that she speaks, and there are times when she doesn't go through her brain. What do you like to say about the feeling of galloping on horseback, but this one is still hiding in someone's back cloak, and because of the snow and slippery roads, the speed of the horse is not very fast, and it is frozen enough, and it feels like the bones are frozen.
If this was really a day of riding a horse, it is estimated that he would have been frozen into an iceman.
"Sixth uncle, can you do this, the horse is also bought, and the carriage is also needed. When the weather is good, we ride horses, and when the weather is bad, we sit in the carriage? However, in this case, will you have to hire a coachman? Xiaomi discussed with Luo Qingfeng, in the final analysis, he still wanted a horse.
No way, she really wants a horse so badly.
"It's okay, wait for an early rest, and go to the horse market tomorrow. If the coachman pays more, someone should be willing. Luo Qingfeng didn't object, and agreed in one bite.
After dinner, Luo Qingfeng asked the innkeeper to bring hot water, and he asked Xiaomi to wash up first.
The biggest advantage of going to the room is that there are two bedrooms, Luo Qingfeng asked Xiaomi to choose one, Xiaomi didn't care about this at all, and entered one casually. She didn't bolt the door when she closed the door, and the person outside was also a trustworthy person, so she didn't need to bolt the door at all.
Throwing the burden in his hand to the end of the bed, Millet went to bed. Although the charcoal brazier has been lit in the house, after all, the time is short, the temperature has not risen at all, and I can't feel the warmth. Pull open the quilt, touch the quilt, feel where it is cold.
Hey, who's to blame for this, but I don't want it myself. Is it because I was too blessed when I lived in Xuanwang Mansion and Zhong Mansion, so I can't endure hardship now? Xiaomi was not convinced, with a little angry mood, took off her cotton clothes and pants, gritted her teeth and got into the cold quilt.
As soon as I soaked my feet in hot water to warm up my body, I was immediately surrounded by cold, and if I didn't clench my teeth, I could definitely hear the sound of my upper and lower teeth fighting.
I am Yuan Xiaomi, I have enjoyed happiness and hardship, she silently muttered in her heart. I didn't bother to blow out the candles on the bedside table, anyway, there was a candlestick underneath, and if it was burned, it wouldn't cause a fire.
Luo Qingfeng in the other room, but he still didn't go to bed, he stood at the window, facing the direction of the capital, and his heart was very entangled. Is it really right to help this girl leave the capital by yourself? Do you want to write a letter to her father, Zhong Jiantang, telling him that he will take care of Xiaomi, and telling him not to worry?
In that case, what would Zhong Jiantang think? Will you misunderstand that you thought that you took Xiaomi away and tricked Xiaomi into running away from home? When the time comes, it will be possible for him to cure himself of the crime of abduction. Luo Qingfeng is not afraid to bear this crime, but he is afraid that it will affect the Luo family.
Otherwise, write a letter and tell Lord Xuan...... (To be continued)
