Ning Xia Qing stopped when he heard this, looked back into his eyes, and listened to him carefully. Ah Zhengdao: "I am an abandoned baby, since I can remember, I have been in the tribe on the grassland, I heard them say that I am a child they picked up, so they don't know who I am and who my parents are. ”

Ah Zheng casually leaned on a railing, looked at the half-missing moon in the sky, and said, "On the grassland, people wander around, and it is very common to abandon babies. Because every child can become an abandoned baby, there is a custom that whenever an abandoned baby is found, they will raise it as their own. ”

Ning Ningqing was slightly stunned and asked, "So, you grew up in the grassland?" Always wandering around with the people on the grassland? ”

Ah Zheng nodded and said, "The grassland is different from what you imagined, there is not only one tribe there. When I grew up a little bit, I left the tribe that took me in and began to wander around, and I stayed in many places, met many people, saw many things, and told many stories, and after that, I came to the Central Plains. ”

Ning Xia Qing asked again: "Are you planning to continue wandering?" ”

Ah Zheng calmly replied, "To you, wandering sounds far away, but to me, it is instinct. I was born to live like that, and I've long been accustomed to living as a wanderer. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that in this world, some people are accustomed to the tranquility of a family, and naturally some people are accustomed to the casualness of being a family from all over the world. ”

Ning Xia Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Since you are the kind of person who is used to wandering, why did you stop in Liu'an County, and it has been more than three years?" ”

Ah Zheng looked away slightly and did not answer.

Ning Xia Qing turned around and smiled, pointed to the stall at the entrance of the alley, and said, "Let's go and see what is fun, buy it back for Zi'er, it's hard to get out once, how can we not buy a gift for Zi'er?" With that, she ran in the direction of the stall at the entrance of the alley.

The stalls are full of children's toys, including windmills, rabbits, pottery whistles, push sounds, spinning tops, bamboo dragonflies, nine links, Huarong Road, Luban locks, twists, spinning tops, puppets, shuttlecocks, empty bamboos......

She picked up a piece of undyed and a seven-colored tangram, held it up to her face, and carefully compared the two.

"I didn't want to stay." Ah Zheng's deep voice caught up from behind: "I was just passing through Liu'an County, but I accidentally got sick." It was the first time in my life that I was sick, and I saw you just when I felt like I was going to die. I felt that if ......"

He paused and said, "...... If it's to stay with you, you can also consider it. ”

She held up two tangram puzzles in front of her face and folded them to cover the smile that bloomed on her face.

Ah Zheng said: "I have been wandering since I was a child, I am different from you, I never think about the future, because I may die at any time in the wandering, and the future is too illusory, so people like me are very concerned about having fun in time." I really didn't think about it that much before, I just wanted to stay with you first, and then live one day at a time. ”

He said with some hesitation: "But recently, maybe as someone said, I've become serious...... I feel more and more like a forward-looking Han person, not like the original me, and I sometimes wonder if this change is good or bad. ”

"I see why you're getting serious." She looked into Ah Zheng's eyes and said solemnly.

"Why?" Ah Zheng asked.

She turned her head to look at the tangram, no longer looked at Ah Zheng, and just said to herself: "Because you have to protect me in the future." ”

Ah Zheng stood up and stopped talking. Ning Xia Qing put down the colored tangram, paid for the uncolored tangram, and said to herself: "Zi'er likes to draw, buy an uncolored one for her, she can paint colors on it herself." ”

She looked at Ah Zheng's eyes, smiled brightly, and said, "Let's go, we have to go to see the silkworm field tomorrow, let's rest early." ”

After speaking, she walked towards the Xibao Inn, and Ah Zheng followed patiently behind and carefully protected, showing a faint smile.

Ning Xia Qing and Ah Zheng left the stall at the entrance of the alley, and they didn't notice at all that a figure had been standing in the alley for a long time.

Tan Wenshi came to Liuyang County because of the silkworm farm, and was drinking with some local merchants.

Tan Wenshi always remembered the guy from the Ning family, that guy seemed to have some kung fu on his body, and he was also handsome, but he didn't talk much, Tan Wenshi didn't even hear that guy say a few times. But Tan Wenshi clearly saw that although the guy just now still had that indifferent expression, the ripples with a smile in his eyes almost overflowed his eyes.

Tan Wenshi also clearly saw that Ning Ningqing's eyes were gentle that Tan Wenshi had never seen.

Just looking at the expressions of Ning Xia Qing and Ah Zheng when they looked at each other, Tan Wenshi could guess what was going on between the two.

Tan Wenshi suddenly felt angry!

He boasted that he had been among thousands of flowers, perhaps because his nature had nothing to do with love words, although he had passed thousands of sails, although he understood the hearts of women, he had never paid half of his sincerity to those women.

His pitiful sincerity was all given to Ning Xia Qing, only he knew, only he could tell the difference, between those true and false, the only thing that really made him miss was Ning Xia Qing.

Almost at the first sight of Ningxia Qing, he couldn't help but lose his soul. At the beginning, even he felt that he was just interested in seeing lust, but later he felt that he would never fall into such a deep trap when he saw lust, and he didn't understand what evil he had fallen into.

But Ning Xia Qing had never looked at him squarely.

Ning Xia Qing had never looked at Ah Zheng with the kind of eyes that seemed to hide the stars and moons, with a smile and bright gentleness!

He knew that he was not a woman's beloved, but the only bit of sincerity he had was not reciprocated, and he was even abandoned, which made him feel that no matter how beautiful he was in front of outsiders, in front of Ningxia Qing, he was humble to the extreme!

The sourness in his heart suddenly couldn't be suppressed!

Luzi hurriedly trotted over and said, "Master, I can be regarded as looking for you!" Why don't you go back? Those shopkeepers are waiting to drink with you! ”

Tan Wenshi looked back and went back to the wine bureau with Luzi, sad in his heart, but he remained silent.

It's still too late, he thought...... Ningxia Qing still has two years of filial piety to keep, and within these two years, she and that guy can't do anything, Tan Wenshi is confident that she can snatch Ningxia Qing over! He thought he would have time to delay the matter......

Cuiyu smiled and said: "I still think, if the girl doesn't come back, I'll go to the other side to find someone, but I didn't expect the girl to go to buy toys for the second girl." Jade carefully wrapped the tangram and put it away, and said, "This tangram is so beautiful, the second girl will definitely like it!" ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I originally wanted to buy another pottery whistle for Zi'er to play, but after thinking about it, Zi'er is so skinny now, if she really bought her a whistle, she will definitely blow the whistle at home every day, and she must not annoy her mother to death......"

Cuiyu giggled, and then served Ningxia Qing to take a bath.

After the two girls washed up briefly, they made up the bed and luggage at will, and Ningxia Qing went to lie on the bed, and Cuiyu lay on her outside.

Jade soon fell asleep, this girl has always been dead in sleep, and once she fell asleep, she would make a very well-proportioned slight purring sound.

Generally speaking, snoring subordinates are not allowed to serve their masters to sleep, but Jade is an exception, because Ningxia Qing doesn't mind Jade. The snoring sound of jade is even and peaceful, and many times, as long as Ningxia Qing listens to the snoring sound of jade, he can feel the satisfaction of jade in his sleep.

Speaking of which, Ning Ningqing drank wine today, and it was such a strong wine, it should have been very sleepy. But I don't know why, she can't sleep at all, since she lay down now, it's been almost half an hour, and she still has a pair of eyes that are so sleepy that she can't open them, but she can't fall asleep.

She suddenly stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and the whole person trembled and laughed slightly, as if a wind was blowing into her heart.

The wind was like the warm river of the town, gently rolling in her heart, like a fish constantly jumping out of the water, leaving a ripple of stars.

Next.

When Ningxia Qing was going to the silkworm farm, he happened to pass by the Luo family's house.

She lifted the curtain slightly and said, "Ah Zheng, when we come back in a while, you remember to take this road, let's go to Luo's house to visit." ”

Before Ah Zheng could speak, a voice suddenly came from not far away: "Miss Ning! This voice was heard by Ningxia Qing, Ningxia Qing looked to the side in surprise, and saw that it was a carriage with a black nanmu body, and Guanqi was opening the curtain and calling her in surprise.

Immediately, a slender and jade-like hand lifted the curtain, revealing Gu Xuesong's wavy face, his expression was gentle, he bowed his head to Ningxia Qingchin, and said softly with a smile: "What a coincidence." ”

Ningxia's green eyes darkened, and Gu Xuesong had already stepped out of the car.

Because of the relationship between the mountains and the fact that there are not more people in Liuyang County than Liu'an County, it is relatively colder, Gu Xuesong stepped down from the car, and the whole person seemed to be surrounded by cold white gas, which made him look like a fairy.

Seeing Gu Xuesong get out of the carriage, Ning Xia Qing had no choice but to walk down as well, and lowered his eyes and said, "It's a coincidence that I met an adult here." It's just that it's so cold, it's better for Master Gu not to leave the carriage easily. ”

Gu Xuesong smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what the girl is here?" ”

Ningxia Qing replied flatly: "I'll come and see the silkworm farm here." Why is Master Gu here? ”

"I was on official business, so I came to Liuyang County to visit the Luo family." Gu Xuesong looked suave and elegant: "I heard my aunt say that the girl is also going to visit Luo's house?" ”

"Exactly." Ningxia Qing bowed slightly.

"Then I'll wait for the girl at Luo's house." Gu Xuesong shook slightly, and then got into the carriage, and the carriage drove towards the Luo family's mansion.

Ning Ningqing stood in place, his eyes were silent for a moment, and then he boarded the carriage and went to the silkworm field in the opposite direction.

She had planned to open her eyes and see what strange silkworm seeds were here.

Unexpectedly, no one sells silkworm seeds at all, all of them sell all kinds of silk and silkworm raising tools.

Ning Ningqing walked past several stalls, feeling a little depressed, and when he came to the next stall, he opened his mouth and asked the owner of the stall: "Boss, where is there a silkworm seed seller?" ”

The boss was stunned after hearing this, raised his head and glanced at Ning Ningqing, as if his eyes were not good, and narrowed his eyes slightly, and then smiled: "Girl, this is a joke, right?" The girl wants to buy silkworm seeds, why did she come here at this time? ”

Ningxia Qing was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand what the boss meant, the boss hehe, and said: "Girl, how can silkworm seeds be sold in the open during the day, then don't you dry all the silkworms to death." The boss also said kindly: "If the girl wants to buy silkworm seeds, she will come over in the evening, and after the third watch, silkworm seeds will be sold here." ”

The boss of the stall next to him heard this conversation, and couldn't help but look at Ning Ningqing a few times, and then laughed a little lovingly, obviously thinking that Ningxia Qing was a simple little girl who didn't know anything about the world and came to see the excitement.

Ning Xia Qing didn't have anything to say, so she had to smile and quickly leave this shameful place. She doesn't blame others for treating her as a child, it is true that she knows too little, and she comes to see silkworm seeds when she can't do her homework, but this time she was negligent.

She gritted her teeth, and turned back to ask the boss just now, the boss is indeed a solid heart, seeing that Ningxia Qing really came to ask, and enthusiastically told her a basket, it turns out that silkworm seeds are the most delicate, the most afraid of the sun, so there is no silkworm seed sold during the day, and it is sold in the night market before the third watch to sunrise.

But in fact, the better way than to come to the night market in the middle of the night is to simply contact the silkworm farmers, or simply go directly to the mulberry garden to have a look, which can more directly see the advantages and disadvantages of silkworm seeds, and it is not easy to be deceived and not easy to sell diseased silkworms.

Ning Xia Qing nodded, smiled at the boss, and left satisfied.

Seeing that Ning Xia Qing was so concerned about silkworm seeds, Cuiyu couldn't help but whisper tentatively beside her: "Girl, are we going to buy silkworm seeds in the middle of the night?" Or go straight to the silkworm farmer to buy it? ”

"What are we buying silkworm seeds for? We don't have a mulberry garden now, and we can't raise it when we buy it. Ning Ningqing replied: "Just learn about the market of silkworm seeds, and talk about it in the future." ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed and said, "I'm just here to see if there are any silkworm seeds that can spit out similar colored silk, so let's go directly to a few silkworm farmers and inquire carefully." ”

Cuiyu nodded, thought for a moment, and asked in surprise: "In that case...... What are we doing here? Why don't you just go to the silkworm farmer? ”

Ningxia Qing replied: "There are many smart fabric workshops that will also come here to join in the fun, because the silkworm farm brings together almost all the peers in the vicinity, and you can contact more merchants here, and business is naturally easier." So I also want to see if I can come across a suitable cage tobacco yarn here in the silkworm field and go back to some of them. ”

Ning Xia Qing groaned for a moment and added in a low voice: "In addition, I also want to try my luck and see if any acquaintances have come here like me." ”

Jade was puzzled: "Acquaintance? What acquaintances? ”

Ningxia Qingdao: "It's a peer." I'm not the only one who wants to come and see silkworm seeds, I've just seen several familiar faces, all of whom are stewards under the old man. ”

The eldest man may also know the legend of the glazed silk back then, and want to re-display the style of the glazed silk? Or is the old man simply sending his men down to see if there are any new silkworm seeds?

In fact, what made Ning Xia Qing a little disappointed was that she didn't see Tan Wenshi.

In her previous life, Tan Wenshi coveted her family's mulberry garden, and according to Tan Wenshi's character of taking one step and thinking five steps, he should also come here to see if there are any silkworm seeds that can highlight the colored silk, so as to prepare in advance for the future in her family's mulberry garden.

Ningxia Qingzheng was pondering about Tan Wenshi, and suddenly felt that someone behind her pulled her sleeve, and she knew that it was jade by her strength, so she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cuiyu pointed to a stall not far away and said, "Girl, look over there." ”

Ningxia Qing looked over and saw that it was a stall specializing in selling northern goods, all of which were all kinds of fur fur things. Cuiyu said, "Girl, do you see, there is a black camel fur collar there, didn't you keep saying that you want to find one for your wife?" ”

Ning Xia Qing took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a black camel fur collar. Ningxia Qing has always wanted to get a black camel hair collar, because Cao's shoulder and neck always have problems, Dr. Sun said that this disease is taboo to suffer from the cold, so Ningxia Qing has always kept a mind, and wants to buy a black camel hair collar for Cao's neck protection, not only warm, but also beautiful, Cao's must be happy to see it.

Ning Ningqing walked to the stall that specialized in northern goods, and saw that the black camel collar was majestic in color, exuding a soft and beautiful luster. She followed the method of identifying fur collars in the industry, reached out and patted them gently, the fur collar felt comfortable and soft, smooth and warm, and then picked it up and weighed it, only to feel that it was extremely light, once it was not bulky, she knew that this must not be ordinary.

At this time, many people have crowded to the stall that specializes in northern goods, the goods on this stall are indeed good goods, so the business is naturally very good, many people began to point out different fur collar leather goods to the boss to ask the price, Ningxia Qing also asked the price of this black Luo fur collar.

It's a full four hundred taels!

Ning Xia Qing had no choice but to put down the fur collar in disappointment. She knew that the fur collar was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so staggering!

If it was usual, even if it cost four hundred taels, she would be willing to spend this silver for the sake of the Cao family, but now it is different. She did have money with her that she could afford to buy the collar, but it was for the purpose of basketing the yarn, and if she had used it to buy the collar, she would not have enough money to buy it.

This fur collar is indeed a rare treasure, although her family has never worn a fur collar, but she has seen those noble ladies wear it, and the fur collars of those noble ladies are also extremely high-quality, but the fur collar in front of her is not inferior to those worn by those noble ladies.
