The further north you go, the colder the weather becomes.

Along the way, all the leaves on the tree trunks fell off, and the lonely branches stood on both sides of the road, revealing endless coldness and desolation.

But the cold in the north is different from the bone-deep chill in the south. As long as the severe cold is isolated from the outside, it will be a different scene inside.

Xu Rongrong sat in the carriage, with two charcoal basins placed at the bottom of the carriage, making the carriage full of warmth.

She was wearing a flimsy goose-yellow flowered jacket, and her face was flushed.

He was leaning on the table in the middle of the carriage, flipping through an already somewhat hairy medicine book.

There was a plate of pastries on the table, as well as a plate of red fruits, which were so bright that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

In the middle was a small mahogany carved incense burner with gold and silver patterns. The incense was really burning in the burner, and the green smoke was curling up, making her whole body seem like she was in a dream.

Mu Rong sat opposite her and asked while she was flipping through the book: "What kind of incense is in the furnace? It makes people feel refreshed."

Xu Rongrong's eyes were still locked on the book, and she didn't raise her head: "I used ordinary Xinyi incense, just added some mint and green leaves."

"You really like adding mint to spices." Mu Rong remembered that she also burned incense in Xu's house, so he asked, "This recipe is very strange. Did you learn it from a medicine book?"

"Well, you have to verify it yourself before you know whether it works." Xu Rongrong nodded.She closed the book and glanced at Mu Rong, "Now that the Marquis personally praised it and said that it is refreshing, that is enough to prove that this formula can be used."

Mu Rong: "..."

He once again felt like he was a guinea pig.

Oh, this time it’s not a medicine test, but a fragrance test?

However, this can be regarded as the reward for his kindness.

When setting off from Yujiacun, he jumped into the carriage with great excitement.

At that time, Xu Rongrong, thinking of the commotion he made in the village, was so angry that she wanted to drive him off the carriage.

But the man lost his voice as he spoke.

When I looked again, I found...he was already asleep!

He was half-leaning against the wall of the carriage, his head tilted to one side, his brows and eyes full of tiredness.

Perhaps in order to make enough room for Xu Rongrong, his slender legs had nowhere to rest and had to be folded together. His slender body actually looked a little aggrieved at that moment.

Xu Rongrong was originally annoyed, but seeing him like this, she couldn't bear to wake him up anymore and kicked him out of the carriage.

Thinking of how busy he has been these days, and how he stayed outside his room all night last night, no matter how powerful his anger was, he had to extinguish it at this time.

After all, he hadn't slept a wink for two nights and was still experiencing a fierce battle in the Imperial Mansion.

Even so, he arranged everything properly and meticulously before leaving the village.

Xu Rongrong had no choice but to sit down and wait for him to wake up before making plans. She originally didn't want to pay attention to this person, but...

The road in and outside the village was uneven, and the carriage was always swaying. During the bumps, his head hit the wall of the carriage from time to time, making a "dong-dong" sound.

But even so, he never woke up, he just frowned in discomfort, looking rather pitiful.

Xu Rongrong sighed and had no choice but to move over.

She pushed the desk as far away as she could to make more room for him, and then helped him lie down.

In order for him to sleep comfortably, she had to gently help him find the best position.

While playing with it, the warm man's breath hit her face, which did not cause her any discomfort.

After he lay down, Xu Rongrong took another blanket and covered him.

His eyebrows gradually relaxed, revealing a gentle and elegant look.

This reminded her of when she was ten years old...

On the day of his mother's death, Xu Yaoyao happened to be ill, so no one in the house mentioned the memorial ceremony, and no supplies were even prepared.

She sneaked out of the house while no one was paying attention.

It was her first time out of the house, standing on the streets of the capital, she looked at a loss.

Unknowingly, I walked into an alley.

The two men came forward with sarcastic smiles on their faces: "Little sister, can't you find your family?"

She knew at a glance that they were not good people, but the two of them surrounded her one after another, leaving her panicked and at a loss.

At that moment, a young man in red came over: "What? Don't tell me that you want to find a family for her?"

The chilling aura emanating from his body made the two men immediately faint. They said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I just saw her alone and wanted to ask if she needs help. I'll leave now!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, they turned around and wanted to leave, but several guards appeared from behind the young man in red and rushed forward to hold them down.

The young man looked coldly at the two people who were pinned to the ground and shouted that they were unjustly accused: "Check it out, look at the way they are stalking the young girl, it doesn't look like they were unjustly accused."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Xu Rongrong, and said coldly: "Don't run around if you have nothing to do. Go find your master quickly."

This was the first time Xu Rongrong saw such a good-looking person, and she stared blankly at the young man in front of her.

But this kind of look was not strange to the young man in red. He glanced at him and wanted to leave.

However, his robe was grabbed by his bare hands.

He lowered his head in displeasure, only to see that the little hand holding his robe was skinny and his finger bones were white.

He turned around and frowned: "Where is your home? I will order my subordinates to take you back."

"I don't want to go home." Xu Rongrong shook her head, "I want to go shopping."

juvenile:"……"

He is a person who has little patience with others, but the look in the girl's eyes made him not know how to refuse: "What do you want to buy?"

"I want to buy paper money..."

juvenile:"……"

Xu Rongrong was about to get angry when she saw him, and said hurriedly: "No one in the house remembers my mother's death anniversary... I want to burn some paper money for her."

juvenile:"……"

Finally, in front of the nearest white shop, Xu Rongrong picked out five strings of ingots and some other things, and bought a large bag of them.

She was thinking in her mind that on the anniversary of her mother's death this year, those people didn't know whether it was intentional or they really didn't care, so they all forgot about it.

What about next year?She couldn't leave the house every year, so she might as well buy more at once.

Then he emptied his purse and took out a silver coin.

The boy and the shopkeeper were both stunned.

Xu Rongrong didn't understand. She looked at the shop owner: "What's wrong?"

She has never had the concept of money in her mind. What she sees every day is that after a servant has finished his errand, Mrs. Xu Liu throws out a silver coin, and then sees the servant leaving happily.

Presumably, her money should be enough, right?

After a long silence, the young man's face lost some impatience and became more elegant. He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I will make up for whatever is missing."

The young girl Xu Rongrong stared blankly at the boy in red.

The young man's expression gradually overlapped with that of the man lying in the carriage.

Xu Rongrong took back his thoughts.

It was that encounter that made her heart firmly locked on him.

Even sacrificed his whole life.

In her previous life, after marrying into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, she tried many times, but the final result made her understand:

That unforgettable encounter with her didn't even leave a trace of ripples in his heart.
