The surrounding snow sheds were also full of people. It was steaming hot as we walked along, and we didn’t feel cold at all as we walked through them.
Although Mu Rong was not good at socializing, he could still tell the origins of most of the people in the nearby snow sheds.
I picked out some people Xu Rongrong might have contact with in the future and introduced them to her:
"That's Prince Min's residence. Prince Min is now nearly seventy years old, having outlived two heirs. He's a very free and easy-going person, the most beloved of the royal family elders. He and the Minister of Works, Lord Lu, were half-mentors. Back when Lord Lu was only a Vice Minister of Works, he fell in love with the legitimate daughter of the Northwest Circuit Commissioner for Promotion and Demotion. He eventually asked Prince Min to propose marriage, and he finally married her, and they have been lovingly together ever since." "Next to them is the Minister of Rites and his family. His wife passed away early, leaving behind two legitimate sons and a legitimate daughter. I heard that the Minister's second wife married several years later and still has no children, probably because she's concerned about the previous wife. The woman in red under the snow shed is the Minister of Rites' legitimate daughter. She's about your age, but she's very proud and arrogant. Xiao Pingyang has been Minister of Rites for some time now. I heard that his wife has already started visiting the Minister of Rites' family, bringing Xiao Ling'er with her. I just don't know if Xiao Ling'er's personality will be compatible with this young lady."
Xu Rongrong understood his good intentions when she heard this: "Xiao Ling'er invited me several times before the New Year, but I was away from the capital and couldn't keep her appointments. A few days ago, she also mentioned watching the lanterns together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When that time comes, I will tell her a little about this young lady's affairs so that she can avoid it."
Mu Rong nodded: "That's good."
Then he briefly introduced several families passing by.
Several families also saw them coming and came forward to greet them according to etiquette.
When the two sides greeted each other, the other party secretly noted down Xu Rongrong's appearance and preferences, and then called a little girl from his own house who was the same age as Xu Rongrong. The two sides introduced each other and agreed to play together after returning to Beijing.
After walking a long way, Xu Rongrong murmured, "My Lord, there is no need to do this."
"What's the need?" Mu Rong asked with a raised eyebrow.
"The Marquis said he was taking me for a walk to help me digest my food, but in reality, he wanted to help me expand my network in the capital... but I'm not in the mood to deal with this matter, and I'm afraid I've let the Marquis down."
Mu Rong looked at her and said, "If you don't want to deal with them, you don't have to. You're the county lady, and I'm the marquis. It's them who need to find ways to please them. If you find them interesting, we can just go out and play together. If you find them boring, we can just say a few words and leave. You're busy with your business now, so it's normal that you don't have time to deal with them. But once you have everything sorted out, you'll find it boring. How can a girl not have a few close friends?"
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 and said: "In that case, thank you, my Lord."
"As long as you like."
After walking for a while, the noisy sounds gradually faded and the wind gradually became stronger.
Xu Rongrong's hood was blown up by the night wind, and her hair became messy.
Mu Rong looked at her with a smile: "Did you have fun today?"
Xu Rongrong nodded.
"If you like, I'll bring you here every year." Mu Rong said, and then he held her 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 brought Xu Rongrong back to the manor. Mrs. Xiao had already prepared hot water, and as soon as Xu Rongrong returned to the east wing, hot water was delivered continuously.
Although we rode in a carriage all the way back to the house from the snow shed, it was still extremely cold in the middle of the night in the coldest part of winter.
So when Xu Rongrong sat in the tub filled with hot water, she sighed comfortably, "It's so comfortable."
She felt like her bones were going to break.
Wen Yao covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
Xu Rongrong heard the commotion and popped her head out to ask, "Have the two rabbits settled down? Should we feed them some fresh grass?"
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiao has already taken it over. She said such a small rabbit has a weak stomach and can't eat much, it can only drink milk. But we don't have rabbits to feed on our farm, so she asked the servants to go to the sheep pen to milk them and bring them over after feeding them."
"So there are actually all these tricks." Xu Rongrong's eyes sparkled. "Fortunately, Zheng Xiao is well-informed."
"Exactly."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from the main hall. A moment later, Luo Shu arrived at the inner room door and said, "Mrs. Xiao brought goat milk. She asked if you wanted to leave your rabbit with us tonight and have her come over to take care of it, or if you wanted to send it 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, these are two lives. Since we saved them, we should be responsible for them.
So she said to Wen Yao, "Go out and tell Zheng Xiaoshi to stay with us for the next two days. We'll vacate the side room for her."
Wen Yao agreed and went out.
Mrs. Xiao was walking around in the main room, holding the rabbit hive in one hand and the bedding roll in the other.
Hearing Xu Rongrong's instructions, he hurriedly said, "How can such a filthy old woman live in the wing room? I can just take my bedding and stay in the corridor for one night. I can also take care of these two rabbits and keep watch for the county lady."
Wen Yao laughed and said, "You can't say that! You're the steward of the inner house, how can you be asked to keep watch for the county lady? Besides, there are so many important things waiting for you in this house. If we didn't really know how to raise rabbits, we certainly wouldn't bother you with such a trivial matter as rabbits. After all, we are begging you, but if you don't want to live in the side rooms, how can we have the nerve to bother you?"
"Oh my, Miss Wen Yao, you're really exposing my shame. In that case, I'll bother you for one night."
After saying that, she followed Luo Shu to the next room to settle down.
Before leaving, she added, "Just now, Deputy General Ai came over and said that the two girls were freezing tonight, so he asked the maid to prepare some hot water. I'll have someone bring it over soon, and then the two girls can soak in the hot water and get comfortable."
"Thank you very much." Luo Shu said, then turned back to look at Wen Yao with a knowing smile. Wen Yao: "..."
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
How could she be so delicate?
When I looked back, I caught a glimpse of the hand warmer on the table.
She had just received it from Mu Ai.
Thinking of that man neatly filling the fire coals in, and then stuffing it into my mouth without saying anything...
She shook her head suddenly:
You little bitch, what are you thinking about!
He is the deputy general beside the Marquis.
