He knew about it, but he still pulled the corners of his lips casually, "Oh? Is it? ”

"I know you're a high-minded person, and even if you lose, you won't kowtow to me three times. The guards who followed me that day were all my brother's cronies, and according to my brother's temperament, he would never let you go easily. ”

"Don't worry, this son won't take your life." His fingers slowly slid down her jaw and landed on the buttons around her neck. "You're like a cat and dog raised by the son of this world, you haven't teased enough, how can you be willing to kill it?"

His cold fingers inadvertently touched her neck, Lian Zhi'er gritted his teeth and said urgently, "His Royal Highness the Prince ......"

"Don't worry, this world doesn't look down on you." Until he unbuttoned her two clothes, revealing her snow-white slender neck, he saw that he brutally stretched his cold hand behind his neck, ripped off her washed white belly pocket, and then sneered, "Get out like this." ”

Lian Zhi'er's face turned pale, "Yes." ”

After Lian Zhi'er went out, everyone was really stunned, because they all saw the open button on Lian Zhi'er's neck, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, but Lian Zhi'er just lowered his head and silently tied the button on his jacket, silent, and didn't look at everyone.

The broom in Qingqi's hand also stopped there, and even the arrogant single warped gaze fell on Lian Zhi'er. A thoughtful look.

Qingqi only wanted to rush over immediately to ask Lian Zhi'er what was going on, but when he saw that Grandma Sun had already come, he pursed his mouth and quietly looked over here.

The grandmother Sun stroked her chest and walked over by herself, looking like she was about to die, and only scolded in a low voice, "What did you do in the house?" But what is the despicable thing, I usually see you like a gourd with a saw-mouthed mouth, why are you so bold and reckless today? ”

She knew she couldn't explain it. Just silent.

And at this moment, I saw that Ruan Lu had already walked out of the house, and he had changed into a shirt, and the red cloak had receded, but it was a dark cloak.

He walked straight to Lian Zhi'er, threw Shicai's belly pocket into her arms, and said lightly, "Your things have fallen in the house." ”

Lian Zhi'er clutched the belly pocket tightly, as if he had been stripped naked and thrown there, letting everyone point and point, but he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

However, he didn't let her go so easily, just tugged at the corners of his lips lightly, and sighed to Grandma Sun with a smile, "This girl in your family is really unchangeable." ”

His words were tantamount to admitting her guilt in person.

Grandma Sun was so frightened that she almost knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said, "The old slave will clean up this girl who doesn't know how to be rude." ”

"Punish her to kneel here for two hours." After he gave a cold order, he turned and entered the house.

Soon the snow in the courtyard was cleared, and everyone left with their things. Only Lian Zhi'er was still kneeling in the cold snow, the cold wind blew her sleeves, and the whirring cold wind blew down the sleeves to her limbs.

And the plum blossoms on her head have gradually withered.

Ruan Lu called his little servant Fushuang in, grinded and laid the paper beside him, and looked at the drawings sent by the overseers carefully, and then only sketched a few strokes.

After only one hour of work, he was done, and only took a cup of tea. But I saw a kneeling figure outside the window from afar, and it looked more and more weak.

Fushuang was about to retreat, but Qingqi's bright smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him, and then said with a smile, "The slave has been with you for so long, and I still don't know what kind of girl you like?" ”

Ruan Lu's gaze was retracting from the figure outside the window, and there was a trace of boredom on his face, "Women in the world are generally boring, as long as they are not the ones kneeling in the snow outside, they can do whatever they like!" ”

Fushuang couldn't understand what he said, but he didn't dare to ask further, so he had to bow down and retreat.

After Lian Zhi'er knelt down, it was noon, and she went straight to the kitchen.

It was only from a long distance that she could smell the aroma of the food, and when she entered, she saw that the food on the table had been wiped out, and only a few pickles remained.

Everyone was wiping the corners of their mouths, and when they saw her come in, Zhenying was the first to run forward, and said sarcastically, "Yo, did you come back after kneeling shamelessly?" I'm so sorry, we're all done eating. ”

At this time, someone came over and said, "Mama ordered, this bowl of chopsticks for you to wash, if you dare to be lazy and slippery, see that she comes back and does not peel your skin." ”

Qingqi walked over, took out a wild vegetable bun from his cuff, and handed it to Lian Zhi'er, "Today, the grandson steward rewarded everyone with a bun, and mine is left to you." ”

Lian Zhi'er was already hungry with her chest against her back, so she only took two bites and ate it.

At this time, everyone had already left, and while Qingqi was helping her put away the dishes, she suddenly said with a smile, "It was my fault for letting you get close to Ruan Lu before, and you don't want to be like this in the future." Since he doesn't look down on you, you don't have to put it up. ”

Lian Zhi'er was moved in her heart, and only nodded, "En." ”

However, he saw Qingqi stop cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Lian Zhi'er thoughtfully, with a faint flush of unnatural flushing on his cheeks, "I didn't know that he was such a handsome person, and he was really a world-famous person, as long as I could marry him, I would be a concubine, and I would be willing." ”

Lian Zhi'er had just finished eating the bun in her mouth, and she only felt choked on her chest. It's extremely uncomfortable.

"He's not a good person, stay away from him, don't get close to him, otherwise you won't even know how he died in the future."

Hearing Lian Zhi'er's words, Qingqi's cheeks became red, but there was resentment and unwillingness in his eyes, and even his voice became sour, "The reason why you say this is not that you want to climb the high branches?" Today, you dare to throw yourself into his arms in public, why don't you allow me to seduce?! ”

Lian Zhi'er never thought that she would speak to herself with such a strange emphasis, but she didn't know how to explain it, did she want to tell her that she was the county lord of Beiliang, and the enemy in the mouths of those of them who were exiled.

Qingqi regretted it after finishing speaking, hurriedly dropped the basket in his hand, and came over to pull Lian Zhi'er's hand, "I'm sorry, it's my cheap mouth, I shouldn't have said you." But don't worry, when I become Ruan Lu's woman in the future, I will definitely save you out, I am for our lives. ”

*************

At noon on the second day, Lian Zhi'er and a few women were assigned another extremely hard task, that is, to deliver food to those who were repairing the embankment, and they had to pass through the mud that had been dug out, but the mud was so smelly that they were disgusting for three or four days after only one trip.

Besides, everyone has to carry baskets full of things, if they are sprinkled with a little bit of it. I'm afraid it's going to be a good fight again.

Lian Zhi'er knelt for two hours yesterday, and his two knees seemed to be broken, and he only followed behind, and every step seemed to be walking on the tip of a knife, and soon he fell far behind.

And at this moment, I heard a faint voice coming, "I'll help you get some." ”

Lian Zhi'er was stunned, but it was a single warp.

She has always been arrogant, and she doesn't welcome Zhenying and those people, let alone take advantage of the situation to bully her and Qingqi, this is the first time she has been close to herself in the past three years, and she can't help but be a little stunned.

"Don't bother, you already have two in your hands."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that she had already snatched the basket from her hand.

Lian Zhi'er felt a lot more relaxed at this time, and her steps became faster, and when she was about to say something grateful, Shan Qiao opened her mouth, "You and Ruan Luke have known each other before?" ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt a tightness in her heart, and she didn't know how to return, so she only asked, "Why do you want to ask like this?" ”

"I just think he treats you differently from others, even his eyes, I thought you used to be familiar." She walked a few steps and continued, "Maybe you'll be out of here soon, it's just that I met Ruan Lu three years ago, and he's a complete lunatic. You'd better be careful. ”

Lian Zhi'er was about to ask, but saw that she had already walked far with three baskets.

Sure enough, it was a disaster, and Lian Zhi'er still met the person she didn't want to see the most. But he saw Ruan Lu standing at a river dam, and several overseers were standing behind him, while he was holding a scroll in his hand, looking down, with a worried frown, as if he was very displeased.

As if he heard footsteps, he raised his head, his gaze swept coldly towards everyone, and finally fell on Lian Zhi'er's face, his long eyes narrowed slightly, but he showed disgust and disgust.

When the four eyes met, Lian Zhi'er only felt trembling, and the basket in his hand almost fell into the mud.

Seeing this, the supervisor hurriedly leaned over, and said to Ruan Lu with a flattering face, "It's time for lunch at this hour, and the subordinates have already prepared a table of wine and food." Please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to move. His Royal Highness has worked very hard in the past two days, and his subordinates have specially invited the most famous chef from the city ten miles away, and he will cook a few dishes from the capital, and he is waiting for you to taste them, so that we blind people who have opened their eyes can have a long insight. ”

Ruan Lu closed the scroll in his hand, his handsome face was a little angry, and he only snorted coldly, "You are really only thinking about these crooked ways, if you have this half of the intention in these projects, you will not drag the project until now." ”

His temperament was originally arrogant and uninhibited, and he treated his subordinates without the slightest favoritism. In the past, the people sent by the capital, as long as they sent some gold and silver things to bribe, most of them would not be too harsh, and this Ruan Lu was a person who did not eat oil and salt, but it was common for him to be pointed at and scolded when he was caught wrong.

Everyone who was scolded by him didn't dare to speak, so they had to turn pale with fright on the side.

Ruan Lu then ordered everyone to eat, and then Lian Zhi'er and all the women distributed the steamed bun eggs to everyone.

Lian Zhi'er just wanted to finish the division immediately, and then leave this place of right and wrong, but Bisheng met that Zhao Mane.

That Zhao Mane was originally an unbearable person, and he had a crooked heart, every time he ate, he took the opportunity to bully these women, and they all hated him to the core, so when he was assigned to eat, everyone avoided him.

He is also a small official, but he is extremely flattering to the people above him, and he is a celebrity in front of Sun Sheng. Naturally, everyone didn't dare to say anything, so they had to swallow their anger.

Today, he sat on the stone and looked at the young women who passed in front of him, and he had already moved his heart crookedly, and he had forgotten that Ruan Lu was still standing in the distance.

"You terrible little hooves, why don't you even give my uncle and my food." He looked around with a pair of squinting eyes, and finally landed on Lian Zhi'er, after all, she was the most beautiful of all women.

"You send it to you." He foamed at the mouth and leaned against the stone and screamed loudly. It attracted everyone's attention.

Lian Zhi'er had no choice but to carry the basket over, took out two steamed buns and two boiled eggs, and said in a low voice, "My lord, please." ”

Zhao Mane only took the steamed bun in her hand, then took advantage of the situation to touch it in her palm, and then said with a smile, "Yo, uncle, I can't peel eggs." How about you peel it for me? ”

Soon the people who were eating were shouting yes, and it was commonplace for such things.

Lian Zhi'er seemed to be numb, and only reached out to peel off the egg, because her hands were full of chilblains, and she could not do such a delicate work, and soon pus flowed, itching and painful.

After she peeled it, she respectfully handed it to Zhao Mane's hand, and then he became more and more bold, thinking that Lian Zhi'er was a person from Beiliang, and everyone hated it the most, so he reached out and pinched her miserable little face, and then chewed the egg with a smile.

"Fragrant, sure enough, the eggs peeled by the beauty are very fragrant, but I'm afraid that even the gods can't eat them."

Ruan Luru's gaze kept falling here, his face was very calm, as if he didn't care about everything here at all, just like everyone else, just watching the excitement, and wouldn't say a word for a lowly slave.

The overseers behind him breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him like this, and they just wanted to go over immediately and punch the troublesome Zhao Mane to death, but they didn't think that person would dare to do such a thing in front of Ruan Lu, but it was not a cowardice.

"Has it always been like this?" Ruan Lu turned around and asked.

Sun Sheng hurriedly smiled, "This is the first time I have seen it, it must be them who are playing the woman of Beiliang, this Beiliang people are as lowly as livestock, and everyone hates them to the bone." Then the subordinates will deal with the offender. ”

Ruan Lu's half-squinted eyes were cold, only looking at the red marks on her pale cheeks, and snorted coldly, "She flows down by herself, what do you care about her?" ”

Sun Sheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief at this time, for fear that Ruan Lu would be angry.

And at this moment, I saw Lian Zhi'er walking over slowly, stepping on the ice on his feet, walking and slipping, as if he could fall down at any time.

until they came to the crowd. She saluted respectfully and said in a low voice, "My lord, this is Grandma Sun's new orange to honor you, let the slave maid give it to you." ”

Sun Sheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a busy smile, "Presumably, when I went to the city today, I bought it to honor you, but I'm afraid that I saw you working hard all these days, and I didn't think about tea and rice, so I sent it to you, and I ask you to smile." ”

Lian Zhi'er used a hollow carved silver plate to bring up the new oranges in the basket, but saw a full plate, yellow, orange and orange, held in her hand.

In this desolate and frozen land, these oranges are worth sky-high prices, and they are more expensive than a plate of gold ingots. It's just that Ruan Lu is from Beijing. His mother was the eldest princess of the dynasty, and these things were just mustard things in his eyes.

Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath and walked towards him slowly, although he lowered his head, he almost faintly smelled the faint incense on his body.

This errand was originally forcibly stuffed to her, after all, no one dared to take it in the ice and snow, and if it fell on the road, or froze, I was afraid that these lowly people would not be able to afford to pay for their lives.

The cold wind blew on Ruan Lu's face, his face was endlessly cold, and his tone was not very good, as if he was trying his best to endure it, "This son of the world never eats what a slut sends. ”

He scolded even Sun Sheng and his wife, obviously not wanting to save any face for them.

Sun Sheng knew that Ruan Lu was a moody person, and when he saw him arrogant like this, he only hated the root of his teeth, but as if he didn't understand, he hurriedly scolded Lian Zhi'er and said, "Cheap thing, who let you go to a high platform here, don't hurry up and get out of your things." ”

Lian Zhi'er hadn't heard any ugly words over the years, and these were nothing to her ears today.

She then left with her basket, the cold wind blew the whimpering branches, she walked very fast, as if there were hungry wolves and beasts chasing behind her, just want to run away desperately.

*****************

The sky is high and the earth is wide, the cold wind is flying and the snow is flying, and the jackdaws are crying.

Qingqi said such heavy words to Lian Zhi'er today, and he felt very sorry in his heart, thinking all day long, and even doing things carelessly.

In the past three years, she and Lian Zhi'er have relied on each other, just as sisters, but now there is a rift, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to fill it in the future.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, she still had to go to the mountain to collect firewood, so she came down from the mountain with a Louzi on her back, but she didn't expect to run into Zhao Mane.

In this barren mountain and wilderness, there was not even a person around, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and was about to faint with his head down, but he heard his laughing voice coming, "Isn't this Sister Qingqi?" How can such a slender body carry so much firewood and grass, if I am tired, my brother will be sad and sad. ”

After saying that, he pretended to come up to the back basket on her body, but his hand fell on her cheek, and he looked very obscene.

"Lord Zhao......" Her face turned pale with fright.

"You are from Beiliang, sooner or later you will die here, if you follow me, you will be able to live in peace in the future, wouldn't it be just right." He became more and more bold, and there were no rules in his hands.

And at this moment, he heard a gust of wind coming very quickly, and before the two of them came to their senses, they saw a cold arrow shot at his wrist, and the arrow was still buzzing and trembling.

Accompanied by Zhao Man's painful, pig-like wail, he saw Ruan Lu walking out of the woods in the distance, he was still holding a curved bow in his hand, while Fu Shuang, who followed behind him, was holding a few feathered silver arrows with both hands.
