Chapter 197: The Last Snow
Cha Xiang paced back and forth in the room, looking at the goose feather snow floating outside the window, and said worriedly: "Young lady, the snow is too big, the pipes are blocked, we have to stay here for a few days, and we can only set off again when the snow melts." ”
"This could be the last snow of the winter." Li Li didn't take the snow to heart, she even pushed open the window in a very good mood, stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake, and the snowflake quickly turned into water droplets in her palm.
The heavier the snow falls this year, the better the harvest will be next year.
Seeing her standing by the window blowing the cold wind, Cha Xiang took two steps forward, immediately pulled the window back, closed it tightly, and complained: "Young lady, you don't have to worry about it at all, how can you still blow the cold wind, now you are not alone, you have to take care of the little master." ”
Li Li, who was standing by the window, showed a helpless look on her face, and one hand subconsciously supported her slightly convex lower abdomen, because she was wearing extremely thick clothes, so this belly could not be seen very well.
However, this little belly really lives a small life.
It's been four months.
In six months, she will become a mother, and a little person will appear with her blood.
Thinking of this, Li Li only felt incredible, she was only seventeen years old at most now, and if she wanted to change to her era, she only went to high school at the age of seventeen, which is like here, she became a mother early.
Hua Xiang asked for hot water from the inn, and brewed a cup of the best tea leaves she carried, and after hearing Cha Xiang's words to teach Li Li, she nodded approvingly and said: "Cha Xiang is right, if we had known that there would be this heavy snowfall, we should have listened to the words of King Dongguo and set off half a month later, so as not to be stuck here." ”
Seeing this heavy snowfall, Cha Xiang only felt worried in his heart.
God knows how long they're going to be stuck here.
At that time, when the young lady was leaving, the king of Dongguo tried every possible way just to keep her for a longer period of time, but the young lady was too stubborn, once she made a decision, the nine cows could not be pulled back, and in the end, even the king of Dongguo had nothing to do.
"It's already gone, it's useless to talk too much now," smelling the faint fragrance of tea on the tip of his nose, Li Li smiled, and was not angry because of the words of the two girls.
She is pregnant, and for the sake of the child's health, she can no longer taste tea as unscrupulously as before, so she can only smell the fragrance to satisfy her cravings.
Holding Cha Xiang's hand, Li Li sat carefully on the edge of the bed, there were two braziers lit in the room, even if it was cold outside, there was no cold air in the room.
When it comes to pregnancy, she is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, so she has to be careful, and on weekdays, as long as her movements are a little bigger, the two maids will instantly straighten their backs like frightened birds.
Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she had some suspicions that Cha Xiang and Hua Xiang were too nervous.
Just like now, she just sat down too quickly, and she was taught a good lesson by Cha Xiang: "Young lady, be careful, don't startle the little master." ”
She stroked her forehead, and wanted to tell Cha Xiang that the child in her belly might not be as big as her palm, so she didn't need to be so careful. But looking at her excited appearance and thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
Just because she is in a good mood, she feels happy to watch everything.
Hua Xiang keenly sensed Li Li's mood, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Young lady, we are blocked here, not only are you not worried, why do you still look happy?" ”
Can she not be happy?
Once again, I went back to the point in time when she had appeared.
A smile overflowed in Li Li's eyes: "A long time ago, when I went to the capital to defect, I also passed through Longhu Town, and I also lived in this inn, and now I think about it, more than ten years have passed, and I feel a little emotional for a while." ”
More than ten years ago she was a little bun, and more than ten years later she was pregnant with a little bun.
Cha Xiang became interested and asked with interest, "Is it?" The slave maid had never heard of this matter, and the slave maid only knew that the young lady was taken back by the eldest young master. ”
"Of course you don't know, the news that my mother sent to you was just that I came from afar and asked you to be careful, but when he came to pick me up, his face was really terrible."
Not only is it terrible, but he also pinched her face with a calm face, like venting anger, scaring her heart to stop.
She still remembered the scene, when she pretended to be asleep, his claws were not polite at all.
Thinking that when she saw that person with fear at that time, Li Li shook her head with emotion, at that time, she never thought that the two of them would have feelings for each other today.
For An Yichen's stinky temperament, the two Huaxiang sisters, who grew up in An's family, know best, and after hearing their young lady's merciless complaints, the two of them nodded one after another.
Cha Xiang: "Indeed, when I was a child, the young master had the strangest temper, he would get angry at every turn, and outsiders were not allowed to approach him casually. ”
Hua Xiang: "It's just the others, sometimes even the old lady and the old man can't find his figure all day long, and I don't know what the eldest young master was doing at that time." ”
The cold wind was gusting outside, the house was as warm as a spring day, and the three girls of similar age were talking about the same man with great interest, and what they said was not good, they were all complaining about what An Yichen had done over the years.
If it were normal, the two girls naturally didn't have the courage, but now it's different, everything they do is to please the young lady, only when the young lady is happy, the child in the young lady's belly can grow up healthily, so they don't feel sorry if they think they have done a good thing.
A few people chatted about the world, talked about it, and talked about Longhu Mountain, thinking of the rumors they had heard before, Hua Xiang said curiously: "Young lady, is there really a bandit den on Longhu Mountain?" ”
They grew up in the courtyard of a deep house, and they had never heard of a bandit's den, but when they heard it today, they only felt novel.
It's been more than ten years, how come the rumors of the bandits' den are still there?
Li Li: "There used to be one, but then there was none. ”
Cha Xiang: "Why not?" The slave maid heard from the shopkeeper that the bandit nest in Longhu Mountain was once a tyrant in Longhu Town, and even the imperial court suffered several losses. ”
"Someone served it in a pot."
Li Li said lightly, which aroused the curiosity of the two maids again, and asked in her ear: "Who is so powerful, the terrain of Longhu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many forks in the road, so ordinary people can't find the bandits' nest." ”
"Flowers, add two more pieces of charcoal, and open the window farthest away from me." Feeling that the room was getting more and more stuffy, Li Li waved her handkerchief to command, and when she saw the puzzled appearance of the two girls, she smiled and said: "You also know this person, not only do you know, but you can see it almost every day." ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the eldest young master!" ”
Li Li nodded and sighed, "It's him." ”
Before she figured out his feelings, she thought that he had leveled Longhu Mountain because of a momentary interest, he was a natural soldier and liked to fight.
But then the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, and it wasn't until not long ago that she realized that the reason why An Yichen did this extra thing to settle Longhu Mountain was to minimize her danger, and he was afraid that he would be surrounded by the bandits of Longhu Mountain again, so he simply snuffed out all accidents in the cradle.
This was the case in her previous life, because of that accident, she was delayed for a long time.
"It sounds like a story of a hero saving beauty." The tea is fragrant and enviable.
"Indeed." Li Li agreed: "But at that time, the hero was only ten years old, and the beauty was only five years old. ”
She was not polite at all, and divided herself into the pile of beauties.
The inn was once again filled with laughter.
The hundreds of soldiers who were eating in the lobby listened to the laughter coming from upstairs, and at the same time ate in a proper manner, General Helian, who led them to escort the eldest princess back to Beijing, stared at them with a serious face, who didn't know that the little Jiujiu in their hearts was just turning a blind eye.
In just two months, the name of the eldest princess was extremely loud in the Dongguo royal family.
According to the ancestral system of Dongguo, not everyone can be named the eldest princess, the eldest princess has real military power and a fertile fief.
The king of Dongguo gave her one of the most brave and warlike troops, and also gave her the most fertile land in the kingdom of Dongguo, not only that, but even the palace built a palace for the eldest princess.
In this way, she instinctively competes for the throne.
However, she gave up what was within her reach.
In front of the world's wealth, she gave up her position with a smile.
The soldiers were all curious about what kind of person such an eldest princess was, but when they saw the little girl sitting in the seat and smiling kindly, the mood in their hearts was indescribable.
General Helian also made a judgment for the first time.
A little fox, the little fox that most closely resembles the king.
But this little fox has a strange temper, and he talks and laughs with the maidservants along the way, and he does not have the majesty of his master at all.
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, General Helian knocked on the table and said in a low voice: "Team 1234 will take turns to keep vigil tonight, don't be careless, Her Royal Highness the princess is pregnant, so she should naturally be careful in everything." ”
"My subordinates understand!"
Everyone nodded.
The snow will continue for several days, and there is still a lot to be aware of.
Before it was dark, General Helian filmed a small team to go out to survey the terrain.
There were already deep and shallow footprints on the streets, and a thick layer of snowflakes was covered.
A small group of ten people left, and the fierce aura scared the faint-hearted people so much that they didn't dare to step into the inn.
Li Li and his entourage took the inn down.
Obviously the weather was extremely cold, but cold sweat oozed from the shopkeeper's forehead, and seeing that the military masters in the hall were all waiting for each other, they sent someone out to inquire about the situation, and only said to General Helian: "Military master, this heavy snow should last for three more days, and it will begin to melt after three days." ”
