Bai Yuegang of Prince Ning's Mansion

When everything was silent, two fast horses rushed out of Prince Ning's mansion.

On Zhuangzi, Ruixue had regained her composure, flipping through the blueprints sent by Laoqian.

After the spring thaw, the reconstruction of Shibalipu and the expansion of the racecourse are planned.

Xiaoxing sat on the side and helped Ruixue light the candles, picked up the unfinished female worker in the needlework basket, and began to sew.

Ruixue twisted her stiff neck and rested for a while.

I caught a glimpse of the needle and thread in Xiao Xing's hand, and the figure that flashed by in the posthouse during the day appeared before my eyes again.

"Ryan!"

Xiaoxing was startled by Ruixue's sudden words, and the needle in her hand almost pricked herself.

"Miss, what's the matter, is something wrong with Master Ryan?"

Ruixue walked to the cage next to the bed without saying a word, opened it, and took out the boots on the upper shelf.

It was for Ryan, but it hadn't been delivered to him yet.

During the years when their siblings were separated, Ruixue would prepare shoes, socks, sweat towels and other things for Ryan every year.

The figure I saw today was wearing the boots that Ruixue made for Ryan.

No wonder it looked familiar at the time, but why did Ryan hide from him.

The two of them, siblings, have something to hide.

She didn't believe that Ryan would do something bad behind her back.

But if he was bewitched by Li Jiuchen and Li Ningjue, it would be hard to say.

Although Ryan looked stable, in the final analysis, his mind was not mature, how could he be an opponent of an old fox like Li Ningjue.

Ruixue always felt that Rui'an's entry into the palace meant she was freed from Jiang Huai's control over him.

Even though Jiang Huai would still use him to do some things, fortunately he was out of the oppressive environment of Zuo Xiangfu.

He is able to distinguish right from wrong and make his own choices.

Didn't he do well when he cooperated with Zhao Fengnian years ago?

Why didn't we see each other for a few days, and got mixed up with Li Ningjue and the others.

It's already this hour, and it's unrealistic to go to the palace to see him and ask him what happened.

I just hope he won't be coaxed into doing something that won't clean up the mess.

I wanted to wait for Xiao Taogulian to come back and ask about the affairs of Prince Ning's mansion while sleeping.

Clothes waited, then fell asleep in a daze.

In the dream, Ruixue went back to when she was a child, A Niang had just passed away, and Rui'an cried and hugged herself and did not let go, no matter how coaxed she could not be coaxed.

The injured Xiao Ruixue could only hug her younger brother and cry together.

Sobbing and crying woke himself up.

Xiaoxing looked at Ruixue with some worry, and handed over a hot handkerchief.

"Miss, wipe your face. What did you dream about? You're crying so sadly."

"It's nothing, I don't remember some things from my childhood."

He took the veil and wiped his face, and saw that the lights were still on in the room.

"How long have I been sleeping, what time is it now, have Xiaotao and Gu Lian come back?"

"It's still early, miss take off her clothes and go to sleep, he probably won't come back today, the city gates are closed now, miss don't have to wait any longer."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoxing put down the veil and went to help Ruixue make the bed.

The young lady is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, saying that she doesn't care about the affairs of the prince and the mansion anymore.

In fact, I worry more than anyone else.

It is true that I feel sorry for the prince, and it is true that I want to help him.

But he has never been affirmed by the prince, whoever he is, he will feel wronged in his heart.

Rui Xue rubbed her eyes, then returned to the desk.

"Xing, you don't need to be busy, I can't sleep, I will sort out these plans."

Xiao Xing wanted to persuade her, but there was a knock on the door outside.

He hurriedly put down what he was doing and went to open the door, thinking that Xiaotao had come back.

It was Rong Niang who entered the room with a food box.

"I saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came here. I made wontons, come and eat some. Seeing that you don't eat much at night, you should be hungry now."

Ruixue smiled, got up and walked to the table.

"When did you learn to cook? You are so virtuous. I can't bear to let you go."

Rong Niang covered her mouth and laughed, extra shy.

"What are you talking about. I am no longer a noble lady in the capital. When I go to the northern border, I have to rely on myself for everything. If you learn these life skills early, you will be able to suffer less in the future."

Ruixue took the bowl, and the delicious smell made her articulate, and she was really hungry.

"The belongings your mother bought for you are enough for you to live comfortably in the north, why bother yourself so much."

Rongniang sat down beside Ruixue.

"Today is different from the past. I'm living a new life. I want to see if I can live a different life on my own."

"I'm not hypocritical, I just want to know if a woman can live a good life without the blessing of her family and parents."

Although this experiment is meaningless in Ruixue's eyes.

Rongniang is miserable, but at least she has a friend like her to help her, and a mother like Mrs. Youxiang loves her.

Even if she broke away from the family, she still had the financial and material resources to support her new life.

But most girls living in this era do not have the luck and resources like Rongniang.

If the same thing happened to a girl from a common people's house, she would have turned into a handful of loess long ago.

But Rong Niang's thought and awareness are definitely worthy of affirmation and praise.

If she can make up her mind to continue living independently and tenaciously, she is already very brave.

Ruixue once suggested to the noble ladies in Kyoto to open charity halls to take care of those old, young, women and children who were left behind.

I just hope that one day they can empathize with the hardships and helplessness of women living in this world.

After eating the delicious wontons, Ruixue felt her heart was soothed.

Sure enough, in this world, only food can soothe her soul.

Rong Niang swallowed a mouthful of wontons: "I think all the money A Niang gave me will be used for the operation and maintenance of the Shantang. I don't need rich clothes and fine food, as long as I live with peace of mind, I will be satisfied."

Ruixue patted Rongniang's hand: "Sister, what you said is good, and your idea is also very good, but I am afraid that you will encounter many difficulties in the actual operation of this matter. You must be prepared in your heart, and don't think too much about it." Easy."

Rong Niang blinked at Ruixue: "I know, but I'm not afraid, don't you have to help me?"

Ruixue laughed dryly: "I knew your bowl of Chaos is not so delicious, so tell me, what do you like about me?"

Rong Niang was not polite to Ruixue: "I heard that you have specially trained manpower in your village, can you spare some of me and accompany me to the north."

Seeing that Ruixue didn't answer, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will never treat them badly. I will allow them to come back when things in the northern border are on the right track. I won't be stingy with wages."

Ruixue thought for a while and replied: "If you don't tell me about it, I will arrange it for you, but whether they are willing to let you go or not depends on their own wishes."
