Chapter 123 Loneliness

In November, it snowed several times in a row, and there were tall and fat snowdrifts everywhere in Kaiping Mansion. Su Zicheng passed on the words of Princess Ning and invited Lu Feng and Li Xiaoyao to the house to enjoy the snow.

Lv Feng was reluctant, but Su Zicheng passed on the invitation of Princess Ning. Lv Feng was not in tune. He never had a good gift. No matter how reluctant he was, he still dressed neatly and turned to Liushu Hutong to pick up Li Xiaoyao and went to Ning Wangfu together. The little man led Su Zicheng and Lu Feng to the garden to enjoy the scenery, but Li Xiaoyao was led by two little maids to the main courtyard where Princess Ning lived.

The main courtyard where Princess Ning lives is a little east, with pink walls and green tiles hidden in the dead trees. There is a kind of clean beauty of washing lead. Li Xiaoyao followed the little girl, along the corridor, passed through the hall with huge jade screens, and passed through two hanging flower doors before entering the yard where the princess lived. Several of them wore The exquisite big girl hurried out and greeted her with a smile. She surrounded Li Xiaoyao and entered the main room. The two maids attentively waited on Li Xiaoyao to the cloak. Princess Ning greeted her at the door of the east wing. Li Xiaoyao wanted to bend her knees and looked down to see that she was dressed in men's clothing. She quickly smiled and bowed to the end. Princess Ning smiled, reached out and pulled Li Xiaoyao, and said gently, "Don't pay attention to those. Come in. It's cold outside."

Li Xiaoyao gently let Princess Ning hold hands and followed her into the east wing. She sat on the bed. The girls served tea like running water and served snacks. Princess Ning looked at the tea and snacks, turned her head to look at the girl and ordered, "Go down, let's talk quietly for a while." The little girl standing all over the house quietly retreated. Princess Ning turned her head, looked at Li Xiaoyao carefully, and praised with a smile, "Xiaoyao is getting more and more watery." Li Xiaoyao smiled shyly, but a trace of vigilance came to his heart. What does this mean? Princess Ning's face was softened by Li Xiaoyao's shy and clean smile. While letting Li Xiaoyao eat snacks and tea, she chatted with her about her parents. The two talked for most of the day. The princess looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?"

"17." Li Xiaoyao replied with a smile,

"I will be eighteen years old after the Spring Festival, and I'm not young. Have you decided to get married?"

"None!" Li Xiaoyao lowered her head shyly and felt clear in her heart. Did she come to do it? To whom? Who else can work for her? No matter who it is, don't let her say it!

"I really can't think of a girl like you who deserves it, just•••••"

"The princess is flattered. This is the princess's love for me," Li Xiaoyao gratefully intercepted Princess Ning's words and said, "The princess also knows that I escaped from the pile of the dead with my own lives. I was seriously injured on the way to escape. I couldn't wake up for more than ten days. Several brothers carried me to seek medical treatment behind my back. The brothers themselves for a day or two There was nothing to eat, but it didn't make me hungry. Later, I finally survived, and my legs were stiff and unable to move. In order to treat my leg, the four brothers carried me on their backs from Chizhou to Taiping Mansion day and night to ask for medicine. Xiaoyao was able to live to this day, which was exchanged for their lives. Li Xiaoyao almost burst into tears. Princess Ning was sad and inexplicable when she heard it. Li Xiaoyao pressed the tears from the corners of her eyes with a veil, looked up at Princess Ning, whose eyes were red by what she said, and reluctantly said with a smile, "At that time, I vowed to repay my brother well, to help my brothers get married and get married, and then Speaking of me, now the eldest brother has decided to get married. In addition to serving next December, the sister of the Fan family will get married. The third brother has also decided to get married in March next year, and then help the second brother and the fourth brother to get married, alas!" Li Xiaoyao stretched out, took a long breath, bent his eyes and said with a smile, "When the second brother and the fourth brother get married, my wish will be half done!"

Princess Ning was stared for a moment and didn't know what to say for a moment. How could she get to this? Li Xiaoyao looked cautiously at Princess Ning and continued with a smile, "Anyway, I'm still young. It's not too late to think about finding a family after the age of 20. At that time, I will ask the princess to help me find a good family. As long as he is good to me, doesn't dislike me, and doesn't bully me!" Princess Ning laughed and pointed to Li Xiaoyao: "You are full of marriage and looking for others, and you are not shy, really! What do you want me to say?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled so much that her eyes bent into a line, spread her hands and said, "I'm very shy. The princess didn't see it!" Princess Ning laughed hard by what Li Xiaoyao said. She smiled for a long time before she stopped laughing. She wiped her tears with a veil, took the tea handed over by Li Xiaoyao and took two sips. She looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "Since there are such words that don't seek wealth or nobles, I won't say more. It's not enough after 20 years old. I really become an old girl. Although our Beiping is not as early as Wu Guo's marriage, it's time for girls to get married at the age of 19 or 20. If you look for them after the age of 20 and wait for a good family, how old are you to go back and forth?

"What the princess said is, thank you for your advice. The princess is all for my good, and the little one has written it down." Li Xiaoyao restrained and sat down in danger and thanked solemnly. Princess Ning gently patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder and smiled without saying anything more. The two tacitly changed the topic and began to gossip.

After dinner, Li Xiaoyao said goodbye. Lv Feng followed Su Zicheng to the second door. Li Xiaoyao saw Lv and squeezed his eyes at him. Lv Feng was understanding and dawdling. He watched Su Zicheng get on the horse. After turning the corner, he couldn't see it. The two jumped into the car. Li Xiaoyao pushed Lv Feng and whispered, "Let's find a quiet one. Let's drink in a place with good scenery.

"Is it quiet and the scenery is good? Let me think about it. There is a restaurant by the Guo River outside the city. There is a big boat and a small boat. In spring and summer, the boat can be moored on the bank, and it can also be rowed to the river. The prepared dishes are sent up by boat. At this time, the river is cold, and the boat is moored on the bank••••••”

"It's there!" Li Xiaoyao interrupted Lv Feng to agree without waiting for his words. Lv Feng lifted the curtain and ordered the driver. The car passed through the alley and ran out of the west gate.

Su Zicheng got off his horse in front of King Liang's mansion, went straight into the outer study, went into the room and went to the cloak, turned his head to look at Nanning and ordered, "Xiao Wu came back and let her come." Nanning agreed, took a few steps back and went to the door to guard Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao and Lv Feng bumped in the car for a long time, so they went to the restaurant next to Guohe. The restaurant was built like a separate courtyard of a large family. Two or three neatly dressed maids had already rushed to the gate. They came forward to help lead the horse, lifted the curtain, and diligently let Lv Feng and Li Xiaoyao, and Lv Feng did not Entering the courtyard door, he walked familiarly to Guohe and ordered, "Tell Xu Dangtou to make a few wild animals carefully and let people go to the river to catch a few fish. There are some fresh dishes next to him, and send a few more. The wine will be pear white and turbid rice wine." The servants who followed him wrote down one by one, answered, and rushed back to send a message. Lv Feng took Li Xiaoyao and picked up a ship at the far end.

Li Xiaoyao stood in the bow of the boat and looked around. This was really a good place. Except for the other courtyard-like winery, it was empty. The wide Guohe River was covered with thick ice and flashed soft light in the weak sunlight. Black trees dotted with white snow in the distance, and occasionally flew over a few unknown things. The bird stopped on the withered tree and shouted a few times, flapped its wings and flew away. Li Xiaoyao stretched his arms and praised Lv Feng with satisfaction: "This place is good! You have worked the most hard to have fun here.

Lv Feng has walked around the cabin, stood beside Li Xiaoyao, looked around with her behind his back, and said with a smile, "I knew you must like it here. When I came back last time, the river was not frozen. At night, I went to the middle of the river to see the moon. It's a special taste. Let's come back next spring!"

"Good!" Li Xiaoyao simply agreed. The two stood in the bow of the ship and looked at the scenery for a while. The river wind blew and gradually felt cold. Li Xiaoyao wrapped his cloak, stamped his feet and stamped his feet and smiled, "No, it's freezing me to death. Let's go in."

The two entered the cabin, and the four corners of the cabin had risen to Wangwang's charcoal basin. Two middle-aged women in blue skirts were half squatting in the corner of the cabin. One was busy boiling water and hotning cups to make tea, and the other was carefully putting the wine in the jar into the fat-bellied wine pot and scalded it in hot water. The cabin is very spacious and clean and shiny. There is a low couch on one side of the river, with thick cushions on it, and there are yellow poplar trees that are only a few wider than ordinary couches in the middle, and four plates of snacks have been placed on it.

Li Xiaoyao stood in front of the charcoal basin and baked his hands, took off his cloak, took a sip of the hot tea handed over by the woman, took off his shoes and sat on the couch. At that, the two little man carried a few dishes in a carrying box and brought them over. The woman took it and put the hot wine to the table. The two retreated to the back cabin to wait. The two had just eaten and ignored the dishes. They each took their own wine pot and cup and drank by themselves.

Lv Feng drank a few glasses of wine and took a breath. He looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked with a smile, "Who made you unhappy?"

"None." Li Xiaoyao replied sully, "No one provoked me. The weather is bad and I'm in a bad mood."

"What's wrong with this day? The sun is shining well.

"Well, the sun is so good that I'm in a bad mood." Li Xiaoyao pushed the window open and squinted at the wall of Kaiping Mansion standing silently on the other side of the river. Lv Feng came over and looked at Li Xiaoyao carefully and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? What's bothering you?" Li Xiaoyao slowly siped the wine, sighed sullenly, turned around and looked at Lv Feng sadly and said sadly, "It's okay. I just feel very lonely. It's okay. Let's drink."
