Liu Qiaoruo was also worried about Huo Xiangning and was in a hurry because of this day, so she couldn't hold back her tiredness anymore, and unconsciously lay on the side of the bed and took a nap.

Huo Qiyou saw that she was asleep, took a cloak to cover her, and touched his daughter's forehead with his hand, making sure that the heat of his daughter's body had subsided, and he was relieved.

Because there were still things to deal with in the morning, he had to leave first, walked out of the abandoned house, stepped on the horse, he rode into the night, Qu Shaohuan and Shi Ding, who had been waiting in the hall, also followed.

The three of them walked forward for a long time, and Huo Qiyou suddenly spoke: "This road is too dark, let's deal with it." ”

"Yes." Qu Shaohuan nodded, most of this kind of thing was handled by him.

He, like Shi Ding, is a hard-working person saved by the young master, he grew up in the Huo Mansion since he was a child, and he is a master and servant with the young master, and he is also a close friend.

Just like now, he also knew what the young master meant, this road was too dark for the night walkers, and as for the so-called night walkers, nine times out of ten it was the young master himself.

The night is quiet and easy to do, he wants to visit his wife and beloved daughter, there are lights, it is naturally much easier to walk.

Of course, the bright lights are not enough, the abandoned mansion is really some distance from the Huo Mansion, and there are four women living here alone, Huo Qiyou is really not at ease in his heart, but Shi Ding has other tasks, and it is impossible to stay here day and night, so he commanded again: "Shi Ding, arrange some people to patrol day and night, if there is any situation, you have to notify me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

After the explanation, the three of them fell silent again, and the speed of progress was unusually slow, and the leader was reluctant, and the two people who followed behind did not break it, but they were very loyal and followed.

Chapter IV

Huo Xiangning's sudden illness made Liu Qiaoruo understand a truth, whether in modern or ancient times, no money is absolutely impossible.

She didn't want to ask for everything, so she had to be self-reliant, so she began to think about how to earn money to support the four of them.

First of all, she thought that she had the habit of writing calligraphy when she was a child, practiced good handwriting, and imitated many famous works in history, which often made people unable to distinguish the real from the fake, so as soon as the snow stopped, she asked Chun'er to go to the market to help her buy the four treasures of the study, wrote several words, and then asked Chun'er to take it to the calligraphy and painting shop on the street to sell.

Not long after, Chun'er came back with the silver, and said with a happy smile: "Young lady, the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop said that your handwriting is excellent, and he is willing to buy it for a long time!" ”

"Okay, in the future, if I write it, you will exchange it for silver taels, but don't say that it was written by the young lady of Huofu, so as not to cause unnecessary gossip for the young master."

After a while, she learned from Chun'er that Huo Qiyou was the imperial merchant of the rich side, and if it was known that his wife made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, it would definitely attract criticism, and she just wanted to support the family by herself in a low-key manner.

"Also, when you go to the street, buy some peas and come back, and we'll try to see all kinds of things."

"In this cold winter, beans can't be planted."

"Not necessarily, anyway, you can buy it back for me."

"Yes." The young lady commanded, and of course Chun'er didn't dare to resist.

The next day, Chun'er bought the peas, Liu Qiaoruo soaked the beans in water, then found a shovel, went outside to choose a small area, shoveled the snow, dug out the snow-covered soil, and moved the soil into the house.

She knows that it is not easy for plants to survive in the cold winter, and it is relatively difficult to eat fresh vegetables, and adults can tolerate it, but Huo Xiangning is growing, and her nutrition must be balanced, so she plans to use the house as a greenhouse and grow some vegetables.

Huo Xiangning asked curiously, "Mother, what is this going to do?" ”

"Grow vegetables."

When Chun'er and the nurse heard this, their eyes widened suddenly.

"The young lady wants to grow vegetables in the house?"

"yes." Liu Qiaoruo smiled and nodded, she knew that they must be very puzzled, so she explained: "The inside of the house is warmer than the outside, and it will not be damaged by the snow." ”

Is it feasible? No one has ever done that! Chun'er began to worry about the young lady's head again.

"Okay, don't just stand, help me bring in some dirt."

Oh...... Okay......" Chun'er and the nurse paused for a moment, and then slowly moved their steps and walked outside.

When she got outside the house, the nurse couldn't help but say, "The young lady looks a little strange. ”

I also think so, I just thought about finding an opportunity to talk to the young master, and ask the young master to find a doctor to help the young lady take a look, I am worried that if this continues, the young lady's condition will become worse and worse."

"Then you go quickly."

But the young lady asked us to help move the dirt......"

"I'll come, and if the young lady asks, I'll say there's no salt in the kitchen, and you can go and buy it on the street."

Then I'll go."

In fact, Liu Qiaoruo didn't notice that Chun'er was not there at all, she was thinking about what vegetables to grow in the "greenhouse".

After listening to Chun'er's report, Huo Qiyou decided to go to the abandoned house to see it in person, he asked him to send Chun'er back, and he rode a horse by himself.

When he entered the abandoned house, he saw Liu Qiaoruo squatting in front of the pile of dirt, sowing seeds very carefully.

The soil is not placed randomly, she is very careful to lay out the soil, and also use some tile areas to divide the piece, it looks like a small vegetable garden, but this vegetable garden is in the house.

Although he also felt that Liu Qiaoruo's behavior was very weird, he was not as fussy as Chun'er.

Liu Qiaoruo didn't notice Huo Qiyou standing behind her, after sowing the seeds, she stood up, but she crashed directly into his arms and was hugged by him, she was startled, and when she looked back and saw that it was him, she was relieved.

When the two looked at each other, they remembered the scene of riding together a few days before the heavy snow fell, and then a strange feeling flowed between each other.

She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to leave his embrace, so she took a big step forward, but she almost fell into the mound of dirt, only to be pulled back into his arms by him.

"Don't move!" Huo Qiyou clasped her waist and said in a deep voice.

His voice was very majestic, and for a while, Liu Qiaoruo was frightened by him, and she was also worried that it would be self-defeating like just now, so she had to be obedient and didn't dare to move.

It's just that she can't figure it out, what is Huo Qiyou going to do?

Although she came to the abandoned mansion only after being punished, she was happy to live a life where no one cared about, so that she was at ease, and it was not a good thing for her that he came here every now and then.

Time passed like this for a long time, and seeing that Huo Qiyou didn't mean to let go at all, Liu Qiaoruo had no choice but to speak, "That...... Can you please let it go? ”

It felt good to hold her, and he didn't plan to do what she asked, his big hands still wrapped around her waist, and asked, "Are you going to grow vegetables here?" ”

"Yes."

Think it's possible?"

Of course it works." By the way, how long did he plan to take advantage of her like this?

Liu Qiaoruo lowered his head and stared at his hand, but when he stared, he couldn't help but admire, his hand was too beautiful! The fingers were long, and from the strength with which he clasped her waist, she could feel his strength, far stronger than his handsome appearance.
