The surrounding snow sheds were also full of people. It was steaming along the way, and I didn't feel cold at all while walking through them.

Although Mu Rong is not good at socializing, most of the people in the nearby snow sheds can tell their origins.

I have selected some people Xu Rongrong may have contact with in the future and introduced them:

"Over there is the palace of Prince Min. Prince Min is now nearly seventy years old and has already killed two of his sons. He is the most carefree and free-spirited person, and he is the most popular person among the elders of the clan. He and the Minister of Industry Mr. Lu has a friendship with half a teacher. When Mr. Lu was just the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he immediately fell in love with the legitimate daughter of the deposed envoy of the Northwest Road. Finally, he asked Prince Min to propose marriage, and then he married his wife and returned home. They are still in love with each other to this day. .”

"Next to me is the family of the Minister of Rites. Their wife passed away early, leaving behind two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter. I heard that Master Shangshu's son has not had any heirs for several years since he entered the palace. I think it was because of Mrs. Nianxian. The one under the snow shed The woman in red is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. She should be the same age as you, but she is very proud and arrogant. It has been some time since Xiao Pingyang took up the post of Minister of Rites. I heard that his wife has taken Xiao Linger with her. I have started to interact with the Minister of Etiquette, but I don’t know if Xiao Ling’er’s character can get along with this young lady.”

Hearing this, Xu Rongrong understood his good intentions: "Xiao Ling'er posted several messages to me a few years ago, but I was not in Beijing and could not keep the appointment. A few days ago, I talked about enjoying the lanterns together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When are we there? At that time, I told her a little bit about this young lady, so that she could avoid it."

Mu Rong nodded: "That's good."

Then, he briefly introduced several families passing by.

Some family members saw them coming and came forward to meet them politely.

When the two parties met, the other party also secretly took note of Xu Rongrong's appearance and preferences, and then called the little girl Xu Rongrong's age from his house. The two parties introduced her and agreed to play together after returning to Beijing.

After walking far away, Xu Rongrong murmured: "Master Hou, you don't have to be like this."

"No need to do anything?" Mu Rong raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"The Marquis said he came with me for a walk to eat, but he actually wanted to expand my connections in the capital... But I am not in the mood to deal with this, and I am afraid I have failed the Marquis."

Mu Rong looked at her: "If you don't want to deal with them, you don't have to deal with them deliberately. You are the county boss and I am the Marquis. They are the ones who need to find ways to suit their liking. If you find it interesting, just make an appointment to play together. If you find it boring , a few words will do. You are immersed in running your business now, and it is normal that you have no time to deal with it. But in the future, when all parties' affairs are arranged properly, you will feel bored. How can you, girl? Don’t you have two or three handkerchiefs to hand over?”

Thinking about it carefully, the few people Mu Rong had just introduced to her were mostly similar to her in terms of personality and preferences, and none of them were chattering or too noisy.Although she is not good at sociability, she is grateful for Mu Rong's carefulness and thoughtfulness.

Then he lowered his head: "In that case, thank you very much, Lord Marquis."

"As long as you like it."

After walking for a while, the noisy and lively sounds gradually disappeared, and the wind gradually became stronger.

Xu Rongrong's hood was blown by the night wind, and her hair became messy.

Mu Rong looked at her with a smile: "Is it fun today?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

"If you like it, I will bring you here every year." After Mu Rong finished speaking, he wrapped his hand around her little hand, "But now, we have to go back quickly, otherwise we will be frozen into little ice men..."

Her face, which was finally warmed by him, could not return to its original cold state.

……

Mu Rong took Xu Rongrong and the group returned to the village house.

Mrs. Xiao had already prepared hot water, and as soon as Xu Rongrong returned to the east wing, the hot water was continuously delivered.

Although we rode a carriage all the way back to the house from the snow shed, it was still extremely cold in the dead of winter.

So when Xu Rongrong sat in the wooden bucket full of hot water, she sighed comfortably: "It's so comfortable."

She felt like her bones were going brittle.

Wen Yao covered his mouth and snickered.

When Xu Rongrong heard the noise, she popped up and asked, "Have the two rabbits settled down? Do you want to feed them fresh grass?"

Wen Yao smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiao has just taken it. She said that such a small rabbit's stomach is too weak, so she might not be able to eat much and can only drink milk. But there are no rabbits in our village that can be fed, so she asked the servants to I'm going to the sheepfold to milk the cows, and I'll bring the milk over after a while."

"It turns out that there are these ways." Xu Rongrong's eyes were bright, "Fortunately, Mrs. Zheng Xiao is well-informed."

"Exactly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from the main room. After a while, Luo Shu went to the door of the inner room and sent a message: "It was Mrs. Xiao who sent goat milk. She asked the lady if she left the rabbit with us tonight." Come and take care of her? Or send her to the front."

Xu Rongrong thought for a moment. None of the three of them had any experience in taking care of rabbits.

After all, it was two lives. Since they were saved, they were somewhat responsible.

So she said to Wen Yao: "Go out and tell Mrs. Zheng Xiao that she should work hard these two days and stay with us, and free up the wing next to her for her to live in."

Wen Yao agreed and went out.

Mrs. Xiao was wandering around in the main room holding a rabbit nest in one hand and a bedroll in the other.

Hearing Xu Rongrong's instructions, he hurriedly said: "How can I live in the wing room, my mother-in-law? I can just bring my bedding and stay on the porch for one night. I can take care of these two rabbits and keep vigil for the county master."

Wen Yao said with a smile: "You can't say that! You are the steward of this house, how can you be allowed to keep vigil for the county lord? Besides, there are so many important things waiting for you in this house. If you really don't know how to take care of it, we definitely won't. I will bother you with something as trivial as a rabbit. In the final analysis, it is us who are begging you, but if you are unwilling to live in the wing, how can we have the face to bother you?"

"Oh, what Miss Wen Yao said is really going to expose my mother-in-law's face. In this case, I will bother you all night long."

After saying that, she followed Luo Shu to settle down next door.

Before going out, she added: "Just now, Vice General Ai came over to send a message, saying that the two girls were very cold tonight, so I asked my mother-in-law to prepare more hot water. I will carry it over in a while. The two girls also take a soak in hot water to feel comfortable."

"Thank you very much." After Luo Shu finished speaking, he looked back at Wen Yao with a knowing smile.

Wen Yao: "..."

Her cheeks were slightly red.

Why is she so squeamish?

When I looked back, I caught a glimpse of the hand stove on the table.

Muai had just given it to her.

I think of the man who neatly filled the fire charcoal, and then stuffed it into himself without any explanation...

She shook her head suddenly:

You little girl, what are you thinking about?

He is the deputy general beside the Marquis.
