Chapter 199 The Governor
The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. Ye Yunchu held the reins and just looked at the closed gate.
It was as if I could see her through the gate.
I haven't seen her for four years. I wonder what she has become.
And their children.
Ye Yunchu seemed to want to see a hole in the door.
Heavy snow fell on him, and soon he was soaked into a snowman.
His hands holding the reins were frozen red, and he rode his horse in circles several times.
In the end, he rode away.
Li Runrun went to bed very late. Logically, she should have been very tired and slept very soundly, as winter is the best time to sleep.
But she didn't sleep well and was dreaming the whole night.
I dreamed about the past, where I lived in a lowly servant's room where I couldn't even lift my head, hiding from Nanny Song and her fat son.
Then I dreamed that I was embroidering with Ye Qiaoqiao in the east courtyard, but I couldn’t hold the needle properly.
She dreamed of the prince again, coming from outside covered in snow and standing by the bed looking at her.
She couldn't understand the complicated look in his eyes at all. She thought he had forgotten her, but he seemed to want to kill her.
But what is more than hatred is sadness.
It made her heart ache.
Li Runrun suddenly woke up from her dream, her heart beating like a drum. She stood frozen for a long time, not daring to move.
It was a long time before she mustered up the courage to turn her head to look at the bedside.
There was no one by the bed, and it was already light outside the window. It should be dawn now.
The kang was burning, and no matter how cold it was outside, Li Runrun slept very warmly.
She turned over in the comfortable quilt, her hands and feet were warm.
She stared at the bedside in a daze. The dream was so real that she was really scared. When she opened her eyes, the prince was standing beside the bed.
Because she didn't know how to face him.
It would be best if they never see each other again. They have been separated for so long, there is no need to see each other anymore.
They have become strangers.
Li placed her soft hand on her heart and closed her eyes again, but she was no longer sleepy.
Li Runrun simply sat up.
When Li Da got up, she saw that Li Runrun had already cooked the porridge.
I was startled: "I'm really tired recently, why are you getting up so early?"
"I can't sleep, but it's nothing."
"Put it aside, I'll do it, don't touch the cold water."
When Li Da saw Li Runrun was about to wash the vegetables, he hurriedly called her to stop.
Li Da took the dish from Li Ruan Ruan.
Li Runrun sat down and burned firewood. Her face was warmed by the firewood. Looking at the firewood crackling from time to time and smelling the fragrance of the food, she felt a rare sense of peace.
After a while, Limutou also got up. He first stretched his hands and feet, then twirled the broom like he was playing with a spear, with his left hand moving around his back and then holding it in his right hand.
The performance is beautiful and neat.
Then Limutou started sweeping the thick snow on the ground as if he had endless energy.
The family had breakfast happily.
Not going out today.
The family took their two children to build a snowman in the yard.
Pear wood is the best for making piles. With his skills in carving and painting, making a snowman is more than enough for him.
In the end, five snowmen were built, four big snowmen and two small snowmen in the middle.
Tiantian said happily: "It's my mother, my grandfather, my uncle and my aunt."
An An said: "It's still missing."
Li Runrun's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the child had grown up and had the concept of a father.
Although the child has never asked, I am afraid that he will think too much.
Li Runrun thought it was time to have a good talk with the child.
Tiantian immediately said, "We're still missing Donkey, Xiaobai, and Xiaohei."
It's the donkey and the horse in the stable.
An An nodded vigorously.
Li Ruanruan: “…”
Tiantian urged Limutou: "It can't be less, it can't be less, uncle, hurry up."
Li Mutou had nothing else to do anyway, so he said, "Uncle will take a piece of ice and make an ice sculpture for you two. How about carving both of us into it? It won't melt all winter."
Tiantian clapped her hands and said in a baby voice: "Okay!"
An An also nodded.
Li Mutou did what he said. He looked around and poured out the frozen ice in the wooden barrel outside the stable, then he was ready to go.
The two children were dressed warmly and were not afraid of the cold, so they squatted down and watched the pear head show off his skills.
Li Runrun didn't sleep well last night. She felt a little sleepy after dinner and planned to go back to her room to sleep for a while.
There was a knock on the door in the courtyard.
Li Runrun was halfway through a yawn and was very alert.
Li Da had already opened the door. Li Ruan Ruan hurriedly grabbed him and walked to the door cautiously: "Who?"
"Ruanruan, it's me."
Hu Fenghua's voice came.
Li Runrun cautiously opened the door a crack, looked outside, and saw that Hu Fenghua came alone.
The streets were deserted, but the sound of snow being shoveled could be heard.
After making sure that there was no one behind Hu Fenghua, Li Ruanruan opened the door and looked at him: "Why are you here in such a cold day?"
"I'm looking for you."
"I'm not going out recently, so don't look for me."
"Are you afraid of the governor? Don't be afraid. The governor and his entourage have gone to the lower counties."
Li Ruanruan was a little surprised: "Gone? So soon."
"No, I'm just doing my regular inspection. I have to inspect all eight counties before I come back. This is the governor's rule."
Li Ruanruan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "After touring eight counties, are we leaving? We shouldn't be touring further after this."
Hu Fenghua nodded: "Well, this should be the last one to be inspected. After inspecting the eight counties, the governor should return to Beijing in less than two days."
After Hu Fenghua said this, Li Runrun no longer felt so stressed.
I think Ye Yunchu came here just to do his job and has nothing to do with her.
Liruanruan is not closed.
Hu Fenghua spotted the snowman behind the door immediately. He walked over, looked around, and said, "Why am I not here?"
Then Hu Fenghua narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Mutou, who was carving ice sculptures with his butt sticking out: "Li Mutou!"
The pear wood carving had a face full of ice chips and ignored him: "We are family, why would I carve you?"
"When I marry your sister, we will be a family, and you will still have to call me brother-in-law."
Li Mutou sneered: "Let's deal with your father first."
He is indeed a true brother, he just knows how to stab someone in the back the most painful way.
Hu Fenghua was immediately hurt, but he didn't feel depressed for long. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll build one myself."
Li Ruanruan saw that he was really going to pile up, so she also pulled him: "Are you three years old?"
Hu Fenghua hummed, "Yes."
He tried to grab Li Ruanruan's hand, but Li Ruanruan was caught off guard and was pinched by him.
She shrank back, but didn't pull back and elbowed him.
Hu Fenghua finally let go, smiling sweetly and triumphantly.
"What do you want from me?"
"Please help me count the silver in the government treasury. I can't figure it out by myself. If there's anything missing, I'll ask the governor to find it. I'll be dead."
Li Ruanruan held her forehead with her hand: "Is there no one in the government office?"
"I feel safe with you."
However, they were on the same boat, so Li Runrun still went to the government office to help.
It was lunchtime by then, and Hu Fenghua dragged Li Ruanruan to eat.
But it was not the small hall where we usually ate, but the hall where we entertained guests.
"Why are you eating here? Is there anyone else here?"
Hu Fenghua smiled and said, "And the Governor."
