No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 329 Qin Ning Shocked (Part [-])
Snowing.

The first snow in Shangyong was originally thought to be just a little snowflake, but after one night, the entire imperial city turned into a piece of snow white.

In the morning, Luo Junyao stood under the eaves and looked up. In the garden, on the big trees in the corner of the courtyard, and on the roof, two inches of snow had already piled up.

There is also a clean and cool smell in the air, which is the smell of snow.

The sky is still full of snowflakes, but it seems to be a little smaller than last night, but there is no sign of stopping.

Lan Yin came over with a thick white fox cloak in her hands, put the cloak on her body and said, "It's cold outside, don't let the princess freeze."

Luo Jun shook his head and smiled, and closed his cloak casually.

The snow-white down around her neck made her face more fair and delicate.

"I don't feel cold, but the snow looks like it won't stop for a while."

Lan Yin said: "The princess is naturally not cold at home. The prince can tell you before going out that the princess must wear more clothes if she wants to go out." There are earth dragons in the house of the prince, so it is not cold at all.But if the concubine is not afraid of being cold and beautiful because of her young age, and refuses to wear more clothes to freeze, the prince will not let them go.

Luo Junyao sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "Understood, let's go and see Ah Cheng first."

Lan Yin said: "The prince brought His Majesty into the palace early in the morning."

Luo Jun was stunned, a little puzzled, "What is he doing with Ah Cheng into the palace with such heavy snow?"

Lan Yin naturally didn't know this, so she shook her head to show that she didn't know.

Luo Junyao didn't make things difficult for her, "Since Ah Cheng isn't at home, I'll go see Sister Luo and General Yu." In fact, she didn't want to see Mrs. Luo and Yu Mingqiu, but wanted to see the yard that Mrs. Luo was in charge of before. , and those housed there.

"It's snowing so much, why doesn't the princess stay at home well." Lan Yin muttered softly.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "It's the first snow this winter, of course I have to go out and have a look."

Before Luo Junyao had time to go out, Song Jue came looking for her, and Qin Ning and Shen Hongxiu came with her.

He was also very happy to see the three of them, Luo Junyao. The three girls had already put on thick winter clothes, which were a bit more dignified and rich than the elegant and refreshing autumn clothes.

The youngest Qin Ning was wrapped in thick clothes, she looked rounder than before, but she seemed smaller.

Qin Ning was wearing a coral red narrow-sleeved shirt, a pair of small leather boots on her feet, a fox fur scarf around her neck, and a whip hanging around her waist. hunting.

Seeing Luo Junyao walking in slowly, Qin Ning looked at her with some distaste, and said, "Is it so cold at home?"

Luo Junyao thought to himself, don't you know that there is a kind of coldness, which is called that others think you are cold?
Ignoring Qin Ning, Luo Junyao looked at Song Jue and Shen Hongxiu with a smile and said, "Why do you come here to find me in such heavy snow? But what's the matter?"

Song Yu smiled and said: "It's nothing. I talked with Mrs. Luo two days ago, and she said that the other side has been settled. I thought that there was such a heavy snow and I didn't know the specific situation over there. I wanted to go and have a look. .”

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I was just about to go and have a look."

Song Yu laughed and said, "Didn't I just pull Hongxiu and Ah Ning to come to you together? Sisi was detained at home and couldn't get out, and Huihui was too young to take her around, so I didn't call she."

Luo Junyao didn't sit down anymore, and simply said: "Then let's go."

Shen Hongxiu nodded and said: "Let's go then, we haven't been together for quite a while, today is just a good time to walk together."

The four of them went out together in the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion. The carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion was spacious and comfortable. Even though it was snowing outside, it was still warm and comfortable inside.

Qin Ning opened the curtains and looked out curiously. She used to live in a place further south. Sometimes it didn't snow for a year or two, and sometimes it seemed to be just a formality when it snowed. Like this, the whole city turned white overnight. The sight is very rare.

Song Ju and Shen Hongxiu saw more, and they didn't bother to care that she just sat back so as not to be blown by the wind.

On the way, Song Yu and Luo Junyao chatted about Anlan Academy, obviously she also knew what Su Rui told Luo Junyao before.

But Shen Hongxiu and Qin Ning were a little surprised, Qin Ning turned her head and stared at Luo Junyao, "You want to be the head of the mountain?!"

Luo Junyao said reservedly: "I haven't decided yet."

Qin Ning's expression gradually became frantic, "You want to be the head of the mountain?!"

Luo Junyao looked at her with a smile, Qin Ning's expression was a little dazed, and she looked at Luo Junyao quietly: "Your homework...is not as good as mine." She still remembers how Luo Junyao was in trouble for homework every day when she first arrived at the academy .

Luo Junyao was not ashamed at all, and said calmly: "I am from the Martial Arts Academy, and my grades are more than enough to graduate from the Martial Arts Academy."

Liberal arts or something... it's actually not that bad.

It's because the original owner's foundation is too poor. Of course, she also doesn't know some articles and poems.But isn't this just relying on memory?After a short period of hard study, she was more or less able to handle it.

Qin Ning turned to look at Song Ju and Shen Hongxiu. Although Shen Hongxiu didn't know it before, she accepted it well.

Song Jue pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Qin Ning and said, "Ah Ning, it is a unanimous decision between the head of the mountain and our dean to be the head of the mountain. This is a good thing for the academy." Why did you make such a decision.

Luo Junyao patted the back of Qin Ning's hand comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, even if I really become the head of Anlan Academy, I won't stay in the academy every day, let alone take care of you."

"..." Am I worried about this?I'm just expressing shock, okay?

While the few people were talking, the carriage stopped on a street in the city.

The four got out of the carriage, and Song Jue led the way into an alley on the side of the street.Song Jue had been here before, and stopped in front of the gate of a yard all the way.There is no plaque above the gate, but the gate is very clean, apparently someone cleaned it.

Song Ju stepped forward and knocked on the door familiarly, and it took a while before someone hurriedly came to answer the door.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her early thirties who was wearing common clothes. The woman asked inside first, and then carefully opened the door a crack after getting a response from Song Jue.After seeing Song Jue and the girls behind her clearly, she opened the door and said with a smile, "Miss Song, why are you here so cold outside? And these few... please come in quickly." The woman was a little embarrassed, but looked very happy.

The other three could see that although the woman was well-groomed and well-groomed, she was a little sallow and emaciated, obviously she hadn't had a good life before.

Song Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it snowing? The princess wants to come and see you."

"Prince, concubine?!" The woman was also shocked, her eyes fell on Luo Junyao who was standing beside Song Yu, and she wanted to kneel down as soon as she bent her knees.

They have also lived here for several days, and they all know that this courtyard was set up by the Princess Regent, Lady Luo Song, and others.Not only do they take in weak homeless women like them, but it is said that they will also arrange work for them after the beginning of spring.

If it weren't for the kindness of a few nobles, nine out of ten of them would either be reduced to prostitution, picked up as wives by those who couldn't afford a daughter-in-law, or starved to death and frozen to death outside.Therefore, the people who live here are naturally grateful to their benefactors.

Not to mention these things, but the status of the regent princess is enough for them not to dare to offend.

Luo Junyao stretched out his hand to grab the woman who was about to kneel down, and said, "It's cold on the ground, so don't worry about these vain rituals."

The woman also came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's cold outside, Wangfei and three girls, please come in quickly."

A total of more than 40 homeless women lived in this yard, ranging from old women in their sixties to children as young as nine years old.

The rest of the women who are still in their prime, except for a very few, are mostly ordinary-looking or have some bad health.For example, the woman who came to answer the door for them, her maiden name was Mrs. Wang's family name was Fang. It seemed that everything was fine, but in fact her left arm was seriously injured and she couldn't move it.

Because he couldn't work and had no children, he was kicked out of the house by his husband's family when he was only 30 years old.Now she doesn't care about her former husband's surname in this yard, people in the yard only call her Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang led the four of them into the yard, and soon called the women who lived here to meet some benefactors.

Luo Junyao took a look and saw that they were all fine, so he felt relieved.Although it can't be regarded as a good life, at least I won't be hungry or cold here, and everything will be discussed in the long run after the spring begins.

Soon the others went back, leaving only Mrs. Wang talking to the oldest old woman.

The old woman had gray hair and looked very thin, but her eyes were very energetic.

She claimed that her husband's family name was Hong, and everyone in the courtyard called her Granny Hong.Not only is she old, but she can also read a few words, so the people who live here respect her very much.

Luo Junyao and Song Jue looked at each other, it was rare for ordinary women in this world to be able to read and write.Listening to Granny Hong's conversation, it is obvious that she does not come from an ordinary family.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and there is nothing we can do. Everyone will live here for the time being, and we will wait until the end of the new year to discuss everything." Luo Jun said, "If there is anything urgent, you can send someone to the Regent's Mansion to send it to me. If it’s inconvenient to send a letter, you can send it to Sister Luo.”

Granny Hong nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess Wang, and all the girls for their kindness, allowing us to have a place to live. Everything is obeyed by the Princess and the girls."

Song Yu smiled and said, "Mother-in-law don't need to think too much, we have already bought the two yards next to this yard. We are also making preparations there, and there will be work for everyone after the spring. At that time, you are willing to continue It’s okay to live here, or find another place to live separately.”

Granny Hong hesitated for a moment before asking: "There are two children here, and they are too young to serve the girl."

Song Yu said: "In such a big place, where are the two children's accommodation and a little food missing? Princess, what do you think?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Minmin is right, this yard was originally intended for you to spend the winter temporarily. In the future, I plan to change it into a place for homeless children. Although... there are Jisheng in the city hall or something, but it never hurts to have more.”

"My concubine is very kind." Granny Hong was obviously a little happy, and said respectfully.

Luo Jun shook his head and asked with a smile: "The people living here are all women. Is there any problem in terms of safety? Can someone come to disturb you?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Returning to Wangfei, Mrs. Luo came over a few days ago and said that there is that...some army soldiers living here. Someone asked them to take care of this place, but no one disturbed them."

Luo Junyao slightly raised his eyebrows, "Sister Luo is more thoughtful."

Seeing that there is nothing wrong here, everyone is relieved.These poor women were obviously uncomfortable staying here, and the four of them got up and left after saying something.

While walking out, Luo Jun said, "Go and see Sister Luo? I don't know how she is doing these days."

Song Jue also nodded in agreement, "It's just that, I also have some things I want to talk to Mrs. Luo." Most of the things here are handled by Song Jue and Mrs. Luo, and they spend more time meeting each other than with Luo Junyao.

Song Juan naturally also knew something about Mrs. Luo, so he hesitated, "Will it be inconvenient?"

Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "Sister Luo must be alone at home now."

That guy Yu Mingqiu must be forced to work his life in the army now, and snow is not a reason for not going to work.
