Hearing this voice, a look of disgust appeared on the face of Princess Wei of Luling, but it was obvious that this person was already very familiar with this place, and before he could get a response, he stepped into the courtyard.

The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a smile on his face, and his appearance was quite handsome, but a pair of small eyes ruined the whole appearance, making people feel a sense of cunning.

"Ah, Princess, you are here! Xu wants to meet you and King Luling, what did you think about what you said before? ”

Although Concubine Wei was extremely tired in her heart, there were many places where their family needed this person, and as the county magistrate of this county, she and Li Xian had taken care of them a lot on weekdays in the past few years, and she and Li Xian were also very grateful, but if they were always grateful for the past few years, it was far from enough. Everyone helps others to a greater or lesser extent.

For example, this county order, when he first arrived in Fang County, he needed people's hope, and he had no credit for the county, and he had no hard work, for the sake of people's hope, he had to visit the king of Luling every three or five times. said that it was a visit, but in fact, there were some thoughts, that is, to monitor the king of Luling. But after a few years, the king of Luling is simply not out of the door, trembling and living, he did not find the opportunity, so he was gracious in disguise, and now he is about to be transferred, he has a mind. So, last month, Xu Shaorong and Xu Xianling put forward the intention of marrying Li Xian's daughter, because Li Xian's daughters and sons, except for the youngest daughter Li Bao'er, the rest had already reached the age of marriage.

Li Xian is a member of the imperial family of the previous dynasty, and he has been the emperor for two months, and his identity and status are unparalleled, in this era of paying attention to the family. It is undoubtedly a high door, but it is not a big family, but it makes people think. Because Li Xian and Concubine Wei have not been producing since childhood. I have never had any experience in business and farming, if it weren't for Wu Chu's box of silver and gold, I'm afraid the family would be bare-chested now. Even so, after more than ten years of use, the box of belongings is almost exhausted. It was precisely because of this that Concubine Wei had to sew clothes and copy scriptures for others to supplement the family.

In this way, Xu Xianling got a chance. He was originally a Jinshi, but his wife was the daughter of a merchant, although she had supported him when he was poor. And it also gave him the energy to study hard and gain fame. But for several years, his wife did not give birth to a boy and half a girl, which made him think differently.

After all, "there are three unfilial pieties." No queen is great". He had to think about the continuation of his children. His wife also asked him to take a concubine to try, but after Xu Xianling learned that Concubine Wei sewed and mended laundry for others, he immediately remembered a fairy-like girl, that was Li Xianhui, the sixth daughter of King Luling!

Li Xianhui is the second daughter of Concubine Wei, with a quiet temperament and a very beautiful appearance, because she lived in this mountainous place when she was more than a year old, she did not have the arrogance of the royal family. And it is contaminated with a lot of rural atmosphere. She is also the most virtuous among all Li Xian's children. The most sensible one, deeply loved by Li Xian and Concubine Wei.

Since Xu County's order proposed to marry Li Xianhui, King Luling and Concubine Wei did not agree at that time, no matter what, they are royalty, even if they marry their daughters, they should find a high-ranking person, not a nouveau riche like Xu Shaorong, not to mention, now that Wu Zhou is in the world, they don't know what their fate will be, and few people come to the door to ask for marriage, so the marriage of the two daughters has been delayed. Now Xu Xianling is asking to marry Li Xianhui, which has made the husband and wife discuss it many times. But in the end, they decided not to marry for the time being, and if they were in a hurry, they would go to the empress.

At this time, Xu Xianling came to inquire again, and Wei didn't know whether to refuse or agree, if he refused, then they would have a hard time in the future.

Suddenly, a voice came from the room.

"It turns out that Xu County's order is here, come to the house, let's play a game!"

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in the room walked out, only to see that his temples were a little gray, his face was withered, and his eye sockets were deep. If it weren't for that unique temperament, who would have thought that the person in front of him would be the emperor of the previous dynasty and the current deposed emperor Luling King?

Xu Xianling didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he bowed down and said: "Xu has seen the King of Luling!" ”

King Luling stroked his sparse beard and said, "Xu County Order, let's enter the house!" ”

"Thank you King Luling, Xu will bother!" Xu Xianling bowed again.

So the three of them stepped into the guest room.

King Luling has four sons and eight daughters, and the eldest son Li Chongrun is seventeen years old, born by Concubine Wei, and now he is also a handsome young man, but the clothes on his body are old and wide cloth. But this is already the best of all children. Except, of course, for the youngest sister Li Bao'er. Li Bao'er is eccentric, she was born very good-looking, and now she is thirteen years old, and she is a beautiful embryo. Because he is the youngest, he can be coquettish, so he is most loved by his father and mother.

At this time, Li Chongrun looked at the guest room with cold eyes, he couldn't remember what the palace looked like, and he forgot what it was like to wear silk, but he was very much looking forward to it, and even eagerly hoped that he had been taught that they were royals since he was a child, but for more than ten years, his life was so poor, he didn't even have a new clothes, and the clothes of his younger brothers and sisters were almost cut from his father's old clothes and then re-sewn, and a piece of clothing often had to be worn by several children until it was so rotten that it could no longer be worn.

Li Chongrun knew that this was the life given to them by the emperor's grandmother who was far away in Luoyang, and he hated it in his heart, very hateful, because of his identity, he could not gain fame, let alone the life of a free man.

The children of ordinary families have already married and had children, but he can't even eat two meals. He also hated Xu Shaorong, this villain, after seeing his sister's beauty, he tried every possible way to take it for himself, if he could, he would be the first to kill this person!

"Don't look any further, go back to reading!" Li Chongrun muttered, and walked towards the backyard first.

Immediately, the younger siblings followed.

By the small river, a slender figure squatted on the bank, holding a stone with both hands, and kept smashing the ice.

Boom!

After smashing it several times in a row, the ice surface did not have the slightest intention of breaking apart except for the splashed ice slag. Her little hands were already red from the cold. This year is better, in previous years, her hands were as cold as the steamed buns in the market, red and blue.

Li Xianhui stopped the movement in her hand. Gasping for air, she looked up at the river, where she had to find a spot where the ice was thin to break through. If it weren't for the fact that the well in the house was often out of water, she wouldn't have come here to wash her clothes.

"Girl, it's so cold, why do you have to work so hard, don't you have adults in your family?"

A man's voice came from behind him. The man's voice was loud, and it shook Li Xianhui's eardrum with a feeling of exploding.

Li Xianhui turned around and looked, and a young man in a gray coat not far away looked at him. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a somewhat rugged appearance, but he was tall and slender, with a sword hanging from his waist. It's a ranger!

For the Ranger Child. Li Xianhui still knows something, she looks forward to such an unrestrained life, but she doesn't envy it at all. She didn't know her future, and she didn't know what her fate would be. At the age of sixteen, she only wanted to help her mother relieve some of her burden.

Seeing that Li Xianhui didn't answer, the ranger smiled and said: "It seems that the girl has misunderstood, and there is no malice in the next, but when she passed by here, she heard the sound of knocking on the ice." Let's come and see, so be it. Let's smash the ice for the girl! ”

After that, Ranger walked not far from Li Xianhui, stood on the shore, his palm was close to the ice, for a moment, he suddenly exerted his strength, and drank softly, only hearing a few clicks of ice cracking, and the ice surface cracked with Ranger's palm as the center.

"Broken!" The ranger shouted angrily.

Poof!

Suddenly, a large piece of ice shattered open, and a hole in the ice appeared more than a foot long, and the ice stubble, which was half a foot thick, was impressively visible.

Li Xianhui's heart stirred for a moment, and then she quickly regained her composure, and said, "I didn't ask you to help me, why did you break this ice?" ”

Ranger obviously didn't realize this, paused, and said with a smile: "It seems that the girl is very vigilant about the subordinates, so let's take it as a good deed." Along the way, I have really done a lot of good things, and I have been misunderstood, and it is really not easy to travel the world. ”

After saying that, Ranger slowly turned around, looking very disappointed, until he walked away, Li Xianhui stomped his foot and muttered: "People helped you, but you didn't even have a word of thanks?" ”

At this time, a coquettish voice came from behind him, "Sister, who was that man just now?" ”

As soon as Li Xianhui heard the voice, she knew that it was her sister Bao'er, but she didn't answer, but asked, "Sister, it's cold, how did you come out?" ”

Li Bao'er jumped to Li Xianhui and said, "The family is suffocated, it's okay to come out to play, sister, when I came out, I saw that Xu Shaorong from afar, didn't you see it?" ”

Li Xianhui's face darkened, and then she shook her head and said, "No, what does it matter to me when he comes, sister, you go play, I'm going to do the laundry." ”

With that, he turned around and took a robe from the bucket and soaked it in the icy river water, Li Xianhui endured the biting cold and began to wash it.

Li Bao'er pouted, and when she saw such a big ice cave, she suddenly exclaimed, and said, "Sister, you smashed such a big ice hole?" ”

Li Xianhui clenched her teeth, and when she heard her sister ask, she said, "It was the ranger who smashed it." ”

"The Ranger? Sister, are you with him? "Although Li Bao'er is thirteen years old, she also knows some things about men and women, and in this era, women can marry over ten years old, and if it is an ordinary family, most of them start to find their in-laws at the age of thirteen.

"Don't guess, I don't know him, he's also passing by!" Li Xianhui was shivering with cold, but she had to deal with her sister, she didn't want to worry about her mother and father because of this matter.

Seeing that Li Xianhui was in a hurry to clear up, Li Bao'er smiled slyly and said, "Okay, okay, I know that my sister is virtuous and virtuous, if anyone marries you, it will be a blessing that he has cultivated in eight lifetimes." ”

Li Xianhui clenched her teeth and stopped talking, her sister was spoiled, she was naughty, and she loved to show herself very much, if she said more, it would only make her mother more hearty, so it was better not to say it, so stop it.

When Li Bao'er saw that her sister stopped talking, she knew that she was angry in her heart, so she said something else, but Li Xianhui endured the biting cold and stopped talking.

When the clothes were washed in the icy river water and the two girls returned home, a fate was facing Li Xianhui. (To be continued......)
