A cool breeze invaded, and when I looked around, I saw that the room was placed on three walls with countless large ice cubes one meter square, the ice cubes were pure and unstained, crystal clear and crystal clear, and in each ice cube, there were strange things frozen, such as an octopus that was ready to escape with ink, a delicate apple that had been bitten a few bites, and a pair of wavy shells of a pair of clams......

The pieces are as vivid and varied as amber.

Looking at such a strange pile of things, Mingyue couldn't help but laugh, it was really a tyrannical thing, these ice were worth more than the frozen things inside.

In the middle of a pile of things, there are several pieces of ice that are abnormally protruding, which were chiseled into a person's height with a chisel, Mingyue stepped forward suspiciously, and accidentally found that this ice cube was the same height as his own height, not much at all, not much at all, carefully observe what is carved, Xu is the embryonic stage, so I can't guess at all.

was suspicious, he was already wearing a heavy coat on his body, and his trembling body was a lot warmer, Mingyue naturally knew that it was Luo Ping who put it on herself, and still looked at the ice sculpture for a moment and said: "This ice room can be used to make money every day in the middle of summer, why do you freeze so many strange things?" And half an apple? Mingyue couldn't help but think of the modern apples that used broken apples as icons.

Luo Pingyun smiled lightly, looked at the ice cube as if he was looking at his favorite thing, and said softly: "I like it." ”

I really don't have the money to accept my fate, and I have money to be capricious. Mingyue muttered, and said with some regret: "You have a huge ice room here, in the middle of summer, if I ask for some ice, you won't be reluctant, right?" ”

Luo Ping walked noncommittally to the ice room, and pushed open the innermost door again, the inside was even larger than the outside space, pushing thousands of ice cubes, each much smaller than the outside, only a ruler long square, there was a light red ice bowl on the middle piece of ice, Luo Ping directly handed the ice bowl to Mingyue, so frightened that Mingyue couldn't help but shrink, and her face was sad.

This ice bowl reminded her involuntarily of the ice bowl that Wei Zhixing used to punish her in winter, although she knew that Wei Zhixing was trying to save her life from Princess Luo, but it was very painful, it was a hand pain at that time, and as Wei Zhixing's negative heart left, her heart also hurt.

Luo Ping scooped up a piece of red snow with a spoon, ate it first, ate it safely, and handed the second bite to Mingyue's lips again, Mingyue obediently opened her mouth and held it in her mouth, it was sweet and glutinous, the fragrance of goat's milk and the sweet and sour strawberry fruit overflowed in the mouth, which made people have an endless aftertaste.

Mingyue looked at Luo Ping gratefully, it turned out that he had made sweets to entertain himself, and these sweetness might dilute his grievances and hurts.

Luo Ping put down the ice bowl, walked out of the ice room with the girl's hand, felt that the girl's hand was unusually cold, put his hand to his mouth and sighed hot, and then held the girl's hand and warmed it until the girl's face regained a little blood.

Luo Ping poured another cup of warm tea and put it in the palm of the girl's hand, and said cautiously: "Beijiang has already passed on the book, and someone will be sent to pick up the goods in the next few days, I inquired, Li Fang was placed under house arrest by the Marquis of Zhenbei, and it was not him who led the team, you can rest assured." ”

Mingyue nodded silently, as far as she knew, although this Li Fang would not take his own life, his ability to toss people is really strong, and it will definitely be beneficial and harmless if he doesn't come.

Mingyue sorted out her emotions and said with a slight smile: "Luo Ping, I know that you have made a meritorious contribution, so you will be able to be idle in Chaoyang County for five years, and I now have a merit, which will not only allow you to earn a lot of money, but also may let you stay in Chaoyang County for five years in exchange for five years of leisure." ”

Mingyue took out an oiled paper bag from her arms, opened it, and a small piece of black paste appeared in front of her, with a special taste, not good-looking, not smelly, but not unpleasant.

Mingyue picked off a small piece with her fingernails, threw it into an empty teacup on the table, poured some hot water, and shook it vigorously, and the black sauce cube melted into the water and turned jet black.

Luo Ping raised his eyebrows and said, "What is this?" Squid ink? ”

Mingyue rolled her eyes, dipped her fingers directly, and handed it to the man without hesitation, the man hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and licked it, the slightest saltiness, and for a long time it was sweet and fresh, more touching than this taste, it was the light scratch of the nails and the touch of the fingertips, well, some sweet, some fresh, and full of heart-pounding, flustered.

Mingyue continued to explain unconsciously: "This thing is called soy sauce, which is used as a condiment, dipped and eaten, stir-fried vegetables, stewed vegetables, and even pickled vegetables, it is omnipotent, and over time, every household cannot do without it." I just experimented and made a small piece first, without drying and fermenting well, I have already started to make a large batch, and within two months, I can produce thousands of catties. ”

Luo Ping nodded with satisfaction and asked solemnly, "Why did you tell me first?" ”

Mingyue rarely slapped Luo Ping in the chest and said, "What are you kidding, we are old partners, and no one can abandon anyone." ”

Luo Ping looked at Mingyue unexpectedly, with mixed feelings in his heart, until he saw that Mingyue lowered his head, and the girl was quite embarrassed and said: "Okay, I'll be honest, I can't believe in other people's character, and I can't keep other people's power, although I don't know who your backstage is, but I know that your backstage is very hard, and ordinary people don't dare to mess with you." ”

Luo Ping was just moved by the sentence "no one abandons anyone" just now, but he knew that Mingyue would be wrong, but the next words were so straightforward, so straightforward that the emotion that Luo Ping had just sprung up came to an abrupt end.

Knowing that it would be like this, the man sighed softly, and said lightly: "Mingyue, if you don't say something, I won't ask." But I can guarantee that if others ask, as long as it is not the princes and generals who are in power, I can find a way to calm down the others, and I will do my best to protect you. ”

Mingyue looked at Luo Ping fixedly, but he didn't expect that the two were just general friends, or a cooperative relationship, Luo Ping actually said such a promise, it was really unexpected by Mingyue, as he said, isn't he below a few people, above tens of thousands of people?

Under Mingyue's intentional or unintentional misdirection, including Wei Zhixing and Li Fang, they all thought that Mingyue's home was worry-free about salt and stone, all because of Luo Ping's sake, and after finding out Luo Ping's origin, everyone was silent, and collectively lost his memory, and Mingyue also deduced from this that Luo Ping's backer was afraid of which nobleman in the capital.

Regarding the "black cauldron", Luo Ping not only refutes the rumors, but also admits the cooperative relationship with Mingyue in front of everyone, diverting the attention of everyone, including Wei Zhixing, and pointing the finger at himself.

Others no longer doubt it, but it is impossible for Luo Ping not to doubt it, and he can insist on not asking, which shows the depth of his thoughts.

Mingyue nodded gratefully, her little face wrinkled into ravines and mountains, and she was extremely annoyed: "When I first came here, I lacked food and clothing, and was bullied, so I only thought about making money. Now, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there is no shortage of money, but after experiencing so many things, or killing or injuring so many people, I suddenly discovered that only insidious and cunning can run rampant, and the power can be arbitrary. ”

Luo looked at Mingyue calmly, her eyes were filled with too much helplessness and hesitation, like a headless fly scurrying around, her head was bleeding and dizzy; It is like a mayfly that shakes a tree, trying hard but helpless.

Luo Ping understands that there may be no way, so Mingyue has researched this kind of food made from salt stones, although she has not yet seen its results, but it shows her efforts, she wants to quickly improve her status and become powerful, at least, on the day of the incident, she will not be despised because of her insignificance, and increase her bargaining chips.

Luo Ping pondered for a moment, nodded firmly: "Okay, I believe in you, and I will wait for you, after you create new things, I will help you maneuver and make up for the mistakes you made in the past." During this period, if anything goes wrong, you can push it on me, and I may be worth a little more than you. ”

Mingyue nodded, blurting out what she had been worried about, and it seemed to be much easier.

......

Back at the city gate, Liu waited on the ox cart early, bowed his head and said nothing, his hands were empty, there was no fabric for the shoes she said she wanted to buy, his fingers were stirring in front of him in a panic, and a layer of fine sweat was oozing on his forehead.

Mingyue sat in the ox cart, Liu raised his eyelids, and then lowered his head in a panic, his shrunken appearance was like a frightened rabbit, and he couldn't stop worrying.

Mingyue knew that Liu was worried about what happened in the county government, she fled in a hurry, and I don't know who saw her living in the same room with Cheng Hongluo, a lonely man and a widow, for fear of making another reputation incident, if she wasn't worried about her four children, she really wanted to meet and die in shame.

If she hadn't told Liu the results, she might have had to sleep all night.

Mingyue said in a low voice: "Mother, don't worry, I will support you in whatever decision you make, as long as you are happy." ”

"Huh?" Liu's eyes narrowed red, and his confused head didn't understand the meaning of Mingyue's words for a long time.

Mingyue had no choice but to pointer at the jade pendant on Liu's ear and said, "Mother, this jade pendant is so beautiful." ”

Liu's face was pale with a white brush, and he hurriedly picked up the jade pendant, but the more he picked it, the more panicked he became, and even the ear piercings were red and swollen.

Mingyue knew that Liu's wanted to be crooked, so she grabbed Liu's hand, carefully took off the jade pendant, put it in Liu's palm and tightened it, and whispered: "Mother, it's me in the county government, there is no one else, don't be afraid." ”

Liu's face was flushed, and he was silent for a long time, full of hesitation.

Mingyue left Liu time to think, this remarriage, for ancient women, is undoubtedly a lifelong event, married well, prosperous, married badly, lost everything, and did not even have a chance to turn the tables. The most terrifying thing is that it is not only about the fate of one person, but also the fate of four children.
