On the south bank of Nurgandus, in the old north wind pasture, in a thick felt tent, a pungent woman's voice came from time to time.

"Lu Ning, hurry up and finish sweeping the horse manure in the No. 5 stable, what are you doing slowly? I didn't see the white horse in the sixth stable looking for a partner, since you don't cooperate, you go and help! Zhenzhen is about to get up, is the meal ready?"

And still muttering, do some work grinding and chirping, I really don't know what the use of recruiting you into the door, it is better to let you freeze to death in the ice and snow.

In the ranch compound, Lu Ning was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and he often put down a rake or a broom.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ning, the protector of the Ming Dynasty, is now actually outside the Saiwai and becomes a son-in-law.

Since solving the problem of the return of the Siamese prince, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Fengyang, the central capital, to recuperate.

Lu Ning also felt that there was nothing to do in the capital, and if he stayed for a long time, he would be impeached by the ministers of the imperial court.

So, after accompanying several ladies in the capital for half a year, he flew outside the customs in an airship.

Who knows, it was winter when he left, and he landed directly in this icy and snowy land on the bank of the mixed river.

When he was about to freeze to death, he was rescued by Ma Zhenzhen, the owner of the old North Wind Ranch.

saw that he was a talented person and could write and calculate, so he recruited him into the door as a son-in-law.

At that time, Lu Ning was hungry and cold, and he had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to find a place to stay for the time being, and wait until the beginning of spring to make plans.

Who knows, the old city lord of this ranch died early, and it was all up to Mrs. Ma and her daughter to run it.

Although they also have maids here who serve the old lady and young lady, this family obviously looks down on this door-to-door son-in-law.

So, the poor Royal Highness of the Protector, without even touching the little hand of his nominal wife, was driven to live in a small grocery house next to him.

is nominally Ma Zhenzhen's husband, but in fact he is just a long-term worker in his family who doesn't need money.

When all this was done, he prepared the old lady and young lady's breakfast.

The old lady glared at him fiercely, and drove him into his own hut to eat the leftovers of yesterday.

Before he could eat a few bites, he heard the old lady in the main room shouting again.

"Lu Ning, you don't have to go to release the horse today, the old man of Daning Wei's family sent someone to send a message yesterday, asking us to rush to celebrate the old man's birthday, you also go with us, and you can serve along the way."

Is this going to Daningwei?

In the winter of last year, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, to attack Nahachu, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

After defeating the people of the Northern Yuan, he rebuilt the Acropolis of Daning there, and now his men and horses are stationed there.

Lu Ning smiled bitterly, I didn't expect that I hid outside the plug, and I couldn't avoid meeting acquaintances.

I wonder if these acquaintances will laugh at me when they see my recent situation.

Joining the Ma family is just an expedient measure, the Ma family has never regarded him as a son-in-law, and he has never regarded Ma Zhenzhen as a wife.

Now that spring has begun, the weather is high and warm, and it is time to leave the Ma family's ranch.

The old lady Ma sat in a fancy carriage, and the young lady of the Ma family was quite manly, riding on her peach blossom horse, commanding the maids and servants around her, and following their footsteps.

Lu Ning, on the other hand, had no horses to ride, only a big green mule to walk.

Because he was disgusted by his nominal wife, there was no way, so he followed the team far away until it was time to eat.

Now I went up to help them serve food and vegetables, and I went back to the place where I stayed to eat the leftover steamed buns.

Lu Ning pondered, he originally planned to invent something in this ranch, but instead they used it as a miscellaneous servant.

Find a time in a few days and slip away quietly.

If you really can't do it, find a hill where beards live, destroy those bearded horse bandits, recruit troops and horses, and open up a farm.

Slowly work here, and one day your farm will be able to reach the Siberian side.

On this day, their team came to the Buyeo Wei district, and a group of horses came in the distance.

The leader was a young man with a face like a crown of jade and a heroic posture, and he urged him to come forward to greet Ma Zhenzhen and say.

"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect to meet here again, will I be lucky, I've been missing you a lot lately."

Ma Zhenzhen, who was as cold as frost to Lu Ning, was quite kind to this young man.

"It turned out to be Xu Gongzi from Buyeo Ranch, is he going south to do business this time?"

This Xu Gongzi's father has several large farms in Fuyu, and he also has his own medicine picking field in Changbai Mountain, and he is a very wealthy businessman outside Saiwai.

And when Ma Zhenzhen went out to do horse business, she often followed Xu Gongzi together, and the two were very close invisibly.

For a while, they were almost about to talk about marriage, but because Xu Gongzi's father did not agree with his son's marriage, the two parted ways and started their own families.

When Ma Zhenzhen was at home, she also missed this gentle and young Xu Gongzi very much.

When she met again when she was going south, she recalled her years of affection, and her words became much softer. new

Xu Gongzi's expression also became very gentle, and he said.

"We want to go to Guanli and sell these horses, where are you going?"

Xu Zhenzhen smiled and replied.

"Daningwei's grandfather is about to have a birthday, and my man and I went over to congratulate him."

Speaking of the word man, Ma Zhenzhen inadvertently looked at Lu Ning, who was eating cold steamed buns on a green mule, and there was a trace of disgust in her eyes.

"Lu Ning, didn't you see the distinguished guest coming, why don't you hurry over here, what are you doing, why did I find such a wreck like you!"

Xu Dashao said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Don't be angry, I'm sorry when I'm angry."
