Chapter 196 He Arrived
Li Runrun went to inspect the winery and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that all the steps were correct.
Praise the steward: "Well done, I'll give you a raise when this batch of wine arrives."
The steward knew that Li Ruanruan was a man of clear rewards and punishments, and had his own methods. He didn't resort to empty flattery, but bowed his head and said hurriedly, "Thank you very much, sir."
Li Runrun mounted her horse and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind her.
Li Runrun turned around and saw Hu Fenghua, who had been traveling day and night and looked exhausted, riding a horse towards her.
The young man tightened the reins and dismounted gracefully.
I reached out and wanted to hug Li Ruanruan.
Li Ruanruan calmly stepped back and dodged it.
She still called out respectfully and politely, "Young Prince."
Hu Meng was also riding his horse behind his son. When he saw this scene, he started coughing violently.
Hu Fenghua put down his hand that was about to hug someone, and was listless for a moment, but soon his eyes lit up again: "I'm back, I'm the prefect here now, if you want to do any business in Longhu City in the future, I will protect you, I am your biggest supporter."
Li Runrun didn't expect that Hu Fenghua would take this mission back. This guy wouldn't think this is a good job.
She didn't even know she was being cheated. Was he protecting her, or was she helping him?
Li Ruanruan found it funny. If he wasn't so sincere, she would be happy to just watch from the sidelines.
But since he said he would protect her, she still had to help him when it was time to give him advice.
Li Ruanruan didn't say anything for the time being. Seeing Hu Fenghua so happy, she didn't want to spoil the fun and said with a smile, "Congratulations."
Hu Meng also looked Li Ruanruan up and down, thinking that this was the woman that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince particularly favored, and she was indeed beautiful.
Hu Meng coughed violently twice over there.
Hu Fenghua seemed to have a headache caused by his father's cough. He stretched out his hand and ignored Hu Meng's louder cough.
He patted Li Ruanruan on the shoulder before saying, "I'll go and get settled first. I'll come find you tomorrow when I'm free."
"good."
Li Runrun could see that Hu Fenghua's family did not agree with them being together.
But she didn't expect that Hu Fenghua would ride back after he had already mounted his horse and left, saying to her, "I said I would marry you, and I will definitely let you marry me in a grand ceremony."
He rode away again, but his words came back on the wind: "Wait for me, wait for me to marry you!"
Hu Meng looked at Hu Fenghua's back, and chased after him with a roar, whipping up his horse: "Smelly boy!"
Li Runrun watched the father and son walk away, and she shook her head slightly.
He wants to marry her, but for now, she doesn't want to marry him.
The border was far away, and it took two months for the news of the old emperor's death to reach us.
Li Runrun looked at Hu Fenghua who refused to leave her yard and insisted on running around the yard with the child on his back, and she had no idea what to do.
Pian Tiantian was still so happy: "Run faster, horse, run faster."
Tiantian went to pull Hu Fenghua's ears.
Li Ruanruan scolded her: "Tiantian, you can't disrespect Uncle Hu like this."
Hu Fenghua, however, didn't have any temper at all: "It's okay, sweetie, uncle will take you to buy candied haws."
Hu Fenghua hugged Tiantian in his arms and walked outside.
At this moment, the Tongzhi from the prefectural government came running over anxiously with his men.
"Sir, I finally found you!"
Hu Fenghua held Tiantian in his arms and looked at the sweaty visitor: "Why are you so flustered?"
"Just received urgent news from eight hundred miles away: His Majesty has passed away."
The Tongzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Hu Fenghua's face changed. This was a big deal and there were many things to arrange.
Li Ruanruan was also stunned for a moment, then reached out to take Tiantian from Hu Fenghua's arms and said to him, "Go and get busy."
Hu Fenghua left in a hurry.
Li Runrun held Tiantian in her arms and turned around, looking at the apricot tree that was already full of small green fruits.
She was a little dazed for a moment and thought of Xiao Jing.
The old emperor is dead. Did Xiao Jing, the crown prince, ascend the throne?
Ye Yunchu, who is Xiao Jing's right-hand man, will probably have a smooth career from now on.
Then she smiled again, but it didn't matter to her anymore, she was at a distant border.
I will never have anything to do with him again in this life.
only......
Li Runrun looked at An An who was sitting by the window and reading seriously.
My son is so smart and has a photographic memory. He will definitely take the imperial examination in the future.
Will I be recognized when I arrive in Beijing?
Will Xu Wan target me then?
Shouldn’t I find a father with a good background for my son?
Actually, Hu Fenghua is also pretty good.
Li Runrun was moved for the first time.
But soon, she stopped thinking about it. The child was still young, so she let her think about it in a few years.
If Hu Fenghua still likes her after a few years, she will marry him.
Tiantian was held softly by Li Ruanruan. She stretched out her little hands to reach the fruits on the tree, picked one and put it in her mouth.
Li Ruanruan only realized it after she put it in her mouth. She wanted to pick it out of her mouth, but stopped.
Seeing Tiantian spitting out her saliva from the sour food, Liruanruan said with a smile, "Are you still going to eat?"
Tiantian shook her head, hugged Li's soft neck, and buried her wrinkled face in A Niang's neck: "I don't want to eat it anymore."
Li Ruanruan wiped her saliva with a handkerchief and pinched her nose: "Every failure is a learning experience."
The two children really look like one of them looks like Ye Yunchu, and the other one looks like someone else.
One likes quietness, the other is noisy and chatterbox all the time, with endless things to say, as if she has to say all her brother's words.
During the period of mourning, all entertainment activities are prohibited.
Liruanruan’s restaurant no longer sells alcohol.
Fortunately, life was still easy and passed quickly.
Li Runrun also began to help Hu Fenghua govern the eight counties under his jurisdiction.
There is a lot of work to do when it comes to governing. There is the suppression of bandits, the eradication of stubborn evil forces, new policies, the farming that is a major issue for people's livelihood, and the construction of roads. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year again. It has snowed heavily these days, so I have no free time, but I have not gone out.
Li Runrun discussed next spring's planting with Hu Fenghua in the government office.
While chatting, they talked about the new emperor.
Li Runrun has already learned from Hu Fenghua that the new emperor is Xiao Jing.
Hu Fenghua talked about several new policies after the new emperor came to power.
When Li Runrun heard this, she nodded. It was all beneficial to the country and the people. Xiao Jing was indeed a good emperor.
Hu Fenghua changed the subject again and praised Xiao Jing to Li Runrun, saying that he had a good temper and was a good person.
Then Hu Fenghua seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his forehead, and asked someone to look for it.
Then he said, "As soon as I came back, I was so busy taking up my post and dealing with the mess that I forgot about it. The Crown Prince, oh, should I call him Your Majesty now, once asked me to say hello to you."
The teacup in Li Ruanruan's hand fell to the ground. She looked up at Hu Fenghua in panic: "What?"
Hu Fenghua thought she was frightened. After all, how could the common people at the border have ever seen the emperor's mighty power?
Hu Fenghua laughed heartily and said, "When the emperor learned that you were my future wife, he came to ask how you were and asked me to send you a gift. The emperor really supports me marrying you, but my father is abominable."
The servant found something for Hu Fenghua. Hu Fenghua pushed an exquisite makeup box that looked like it was made in the palace style in front of Li Ruanruan and said, "I forgot to give it to you. Open it and take a look."
Seeing that Li Ruanruan didn't move for a long time, Hu Fenghua said, "Why, are you scared silly?"
Li Ruanruan reached out to take the makeup box.
At this time, the prefectural magistrate came in again hurriedly: "Your Excellency the Prefect, Your Excellency the Prefect."
Hu Fenghua looked at him, somewhat impatiently: "Why are you so flustered? When will you change your temper?"
The deputy magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Governor, Governor Ye has arrived. Why don't you change into your official robes and come to see him?"
