Genius one second to remember the address of this site: (vertex Chinese)., the fastest update! No ads!

The weather on the twelfth day of the lunar month is rarely sunny, but the sun shines on the body, but it does not feel warm at all.

This winter has not yet passed.

The porridge factory in Jinling City was directly set up at the entrance of the prefect's yamen, and the people wrapped in old cotton jackets lined up in an orderly manner, holding large and small containers in their hands, and from time to time stretched out their heads to look at the heat at the front of the line, their faces were full of expectation.

"These porridge factories are all run by local wealthy families in Jinling, and they are allowed to be set up at the gate of the yamen, and the officials are specially sent to maintain order!"

Lin Zhiyi walked over and introduced the situation here.

The palace guards with long knives at their waists have already attracted a lot of attention, not to mention that the two people who are surrounded by them are all outstanding in appearance and gorgeous clothes.

The man's inky daze and the girl's fiery orangutan felt are intertwined, and they are particularly fresh and moving in the faded and dilapidated cold winter wax moon.

Lin Jiaruo didn't approach, just stood far away, curious and quietly watching.

Lin Zhizhi smiled and asked, "Do you want to take a closer look?" ”

Lin Jiaruo eagerly took two steps forward, stopped again, shook his head, and said, "It's all about business, I'm going to add to the chaos!" ”

Lin Zhizhi smiled: "How can it cause chaos? You can also help! ”

Lin Jiaruo grinned and said, "What help?" I went to help, but they were afraid they were going to get even busier! ”

Lin Zhizhi touched her head with a smile and didn't say anything more.

The girl in his family is confused about small things, but clear about big things, and her heart is actually more transparent than anyone else.

Lin Jiaruo stood and watched for a while, and then was invited in by the Changzhou prefect who hurriedly greeted him after receiving the news.

As she passed by the door, out of the corner of her eye, she could vaguely see a person reaching out to take the bowl of porridge, but her eyes were glued to her.

Although this road has attracted a lot of onlookers from the people, this person's eyes seem to be a little different.

Lin Jiaruo subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

As soon as he met the man's gaze, the man seemed to be greatly surprised, his eyes widened, and he even forgot to pick up the porridge bowl that was handed over.

"Be careful!" Lin Jiaruo hurriedly shouted.

The man suddenly came back to his senses, but it was too late.

The porridge bowl suddenly overturned, and the bowl of broken porridge was spilled, and the ground was in a mess.

It wasn't a big deal, the most serious thing was the hot porridge that was poured on the man.

"He's burned!" Lin Jiaruo took Lin Zhizhi's hand in a panic and said anxiously.

Lin Zhizhi patted the back of her hand, ordered someone to pull the person aside, and took the unmelted snow in the corner of the wall to cool the burned place for him.

The man seemed to be frightened, his eyes glazed over, and he did not say a word.

Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but look at this person.

It was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and small, looking extremely frail, wearing only a tattered jacket, and he shivered when a gust of wind blew.

Most of the young people in the city have been sent to shovel snow and clear the road, and such a young boy doesn't seem to have much strength to work, so he may have come to get porridge and go back to take care of the old and young at home.

Lin Jiaruo looked at it with some pity, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Lin Zhizhi pleadingly.

Lin Zhizhi nodded and ordered, "Get a winter coat for this child!" ”

The little official of the yamen was a clever man, and immediately ran in and took out an old winter coat, and put it on for the young man himself.

The young man looked up blankly, his eyes still falling on Lin Jiaruo.

Lin Jiaruo saw that he was looking at him, so he took two steps forward and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

The burned area looked a little red, and it was not a big problem, but the young man still looked at her in a daze, as if he was frightened.

After the little official dressed him, he looked at his face and said in surprise, "You're not a local, are you?" I haven't seen you before! ”

Lin Zhizhi's eyebrows frowned slightly, took two steps forward, and stood beside Lin Jiaruo.

The young man seemed to have been discovered some great secret, panicked, and stumbled: "I, I just arrived yesterday, just arrived ......"

Lin Jiaruo looked a little pity, and asked softly, "Where are you from?" It's snowing all the time these days, how did you end up here? ”

The young man said: "I'm from Yangzhou, it's too cold there, I want to go back to Hangzhou......"

When he mentioned Hangzhou, his eyes suddenly turned red, which was clearly homesick.

"Are you from Hangzhou?" Lin Jiaruo raised her eyebrows in surprise, smiled at him, and said, "I'm also from Hangzhou!" Where are you from Hangzhou? ”

The young man's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said timidly: "I left Hangzhou when I was very young, and I don't remember where my home is......"

"What about your parents and family?" Lin Jiaruo asked.

The young man's eyes darkened, and he said, "They're all gone......

Lin Jiaruo's heart was sour, Yangzhou is in the north, it must be colder than Changzhou, and the disaster situation is more eye-catching, the young man's parents and family probably failed to survive this snow disaster, leaving him alone, turning to the south, looking for the warm hometown in his memory.

When things didn't go well in the capital back then, she didn't return to her hometown in a dream several times.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but know this strange poor young man, and his tone became more and more gentle: "Don't be sad, I'll send someone to send you back to Hangzhou, Hangzhou is warmer than here, and the local government will also take you in!" ”

The boy looked at her with tears in his eyes and muttered, "Thank you...... Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Princess......"

Lin Jiaruo bent his eyes at the young man and asked, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

A hint of panic flashed in the young man's eyes.

"I—My name is Ashou ......"

"That Ah Shou is a little strange!" The Way of the Forest.

When the young man looked at Ah Ruo, what he revealed was neither a cower of shame nor a gratitude for being favored, but an indescribable infatuation.

"What's strange?" Lin Jiaruo was unaware.

Lin Zhizhi couldn't quite figure it out, so he could only smile helplessly: "I don't like the way he looks at you!" ”

Lin Jiaruo touched his face and said with a smile: "Is it because I'm too beautiful?" ”

He laughed and said, "Come to think of it, this is the only possibility!" ”

Lin Jiaruo laughed for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Ah Shou's family is dead, and the disaster in Yangzhou is so serious, it can be seen that the west of Huainan Road is even more powerful, and it is necessary to clear the road blocked by heavy snow in Huainan Road as soon as possible!" ”

Lin Zhizhi nodded and said: "There should be no more disasters south of Huainan, and the garrisons from all over the country can free up their hands to clean up the official road to the north!" ”

After a pause, he looked at her deeply and said with a slow smile: "But even if the road is cleared, Her Royal Highness the princess will not be able to return to the capital for a while, but I am afraid that I will deign to stay with me for another three months!" ”

"Ah Ruo, we haven't celebrated the New Year together for a long time!" He looked at her with a grin.

The girl blushed quietly and glanced at the Jinling Palace, which was not far away, and Xu Danzheng came out impatiently and walked towards them.

"At the time of the Chinese New Year, huh...... Uncle Xiao should go back to Xu's house, right? She asked quietly.

Is that the only two of them celebrating the New Year together?
