Not only is it extra early, it’s also extra big and extra crazy. The soft scene of the first snow cannot match this moment at all. It is more like a long-planned war. The snow particles in the storm are like sand and gravel, scraping against the face.
There is no difference between punishment and punishment. Everyone
They were all hiding at home, and the small traders and hawkers who used to be able to weather the storm were nowhere to be seen, and there was not a single chicken, duck, cat or dog. The dead leaves that had not yet fallen off the branches in late autumn were also swept away, leaving the bare branches in the icy cold.
Trembling in the mist.
The narrow streets also seemed too spacious. The air was dyed gray by the blizzard. From any angle, it looked like a bustling, boring dynamic landscape. And on such an empty street, there was a small figure.
, moving forward slowly. In this gray world without any reference, she seemed to be standing still. But the snow had just fallen and the road had not yet been completely submerged. She could still take advantage of the fact that the weather was not so cold and the ground was not so slippery.
Go some distance.
She must leave today, and she can only leave today. Bad weather is the best cover. No one would have thought that the eldest daughter of a wealthy family would sneak out at this time. But to put it bluntly, Ling Huan
They are considered a wealthy family, but not all of them are like this
How rich? The family surnamed Ye is a businessman and has been prosperous for four to five hundred years until today. It is a rare "aristocratic family". There are many relatives and friends, and not everyone has dealings with this family.
Sometimes the blood relationship is so close that it’s hard to find the face.
They are similar. Even if they know each other's names while walking on the street, they may not think of saying hello. However, their family is still kind and righteous. Whoever has the surname Ye does not get along well. As long as they pull out the family tree and point to the name, they will say hello.
Who do you belong to?
Whoever belongs to you, our family and several branch families with good conditions will entertain you, introduce you to a job, or give you some money to do things. Of course, they will not really let you die of old age. The Ye family of the right blood, the family
The training is still very strict, although it is slightly different.
The Ye Linghuan family is a branch family, a branch family, and it can be considered a business. The antique business is quite famous in this small and unpretentious town. It seems that it was passed down from my grandfather or grandpa, and it seems that the idea was still decided by my mother.
.The Ye family has never looked down on women. Women are very sophisticated, especially those in the business family.
Those who are good at calculating multipliers in a big accounting office and can close their eyes and pinch their fingers in the blink of an eye are mostly women. Of course, this does not mean that men cannot do calculations, but they like to do more calculations. They prefer to run errands outside and are aggressive in collecting accounts.
. Later, more people were hired, and in addition to calculating the general ledger, there were fewer people doing it themselves, which was also a good thing to save time and effort.
Ling Huan stole... and took out a lot of things from home. In addition to the necessities that she had thought about for a few days and nights, she also had a lot of banknotes. She had counted the banknotes in detail. She didn't like spending money, so she saved a lot of money.
Young. Because the gold and silver ingots were too heavy, I only had a handful of broken silver. Copper plates? She had never seen them before. Aren't they used for kicking shuttlecocks?
The luggage is not big, but compared to her small body, it looks a bit heavy. She wears a white mink fur with a thick skirt that she usually wears. The color is green and grass green. But she also wears snow
Because the wind and snow were too heavy. The outermost part of the snow canopy was a layer of shiny satin, warm yellow.
, with a large piece of silver osmanthus embroidered on it. She was reluctant to wear it because it was related to a distant relative of hers. It was too troublesome for her to remember. In short, the one she called sister was cut from a piece of silk and embroidered with
Jin Gui. But after thinking about it for a long time, she decided that it would be too heavy even if she stuffed it into her luggage, so she decided to wear it on her body.
Well. Now she was very happy for her original decision. Her whole face was buried in the edge of the snow canopy and the fur of her fur coat, only a pair of eyes were exposed. It might look a bit sly to others, but no one looked at her anyway. She also
She wanted to wear something low-key, but what if she was robbed? But her parents didn’t give it to her.
She had prepared cheap clothes, or at least they could not withstand the snow. She had to wrap her little self into a ball, and the cut colors must be distinct. Walk through this section first and go to the next city.
Find another branch of the escort agency, find an excuse to hire a few people, and put your mind at ease.
First she has to be able to pass.
The wind and snow condensed into frost on the plush, and turned into water under her body temperature, which almost made her eyes wet. She felt that her face was wet, and the heat and sweat were mixed together, which was very awkward. Her skin was too tender, and there was
A bit of snow scraped directly on her eyelids made her grit her teeth in pain, but she carried it, which was really amazing. She had to walk faster and go to the civilian inn on the edge of the city. She had to find someone from outside the city.
, people in this city know her, and although she can get them to work by giving her money, she doesn’t want to be interrogated all the way like a household check. If she turns back to complain, she will be sold quickly. She ran out secretly and cannot be caught by her family. Ling
There was nothing she could do. If they hadn't agreed to anything, she wouldn't have taken such a risk. A girl in her early twenties, unmarried and unprotected, wouldn't this be troublesome?
But Ling Huan had a reason to leave. If she could, she wouldn't want to leave her warm home. Once the snow stopped, the courtyard would be covered with a thick layer of snow. All she had to do was hold the stove and sit on the corridor with her parents covered with velvet.
On the wicker chair, she watched the dogs rolling in the snow, people having snowball fights, building snowmen, and taking a sip of hot tea. She stopped her mind and didn't dare to think about it. If she thought about it anymore, she would cry.
She walked for a whole hour. It was amazing. Even for a veteran soldier to reach this point in this bad weather, it was admirable. In the past, this distance could actually be reached in three quarters of an hour. Her home
The house is located farther away and the place is more spacious. It is not like other wealthy families who only choose expensive sites to display lavishly. The city is too chaotic and noisy, and they don't like it.
This is it! She quickened her pace. Her boots crunched on the snowy road. Because it was new snow and had not been stepped on, it was not crushed into ice and made the road feel slippery. But there was a row of cars here, but there were no
The horses were probably separated and pulled into the shed to avoid the cold. She opened the door and walked into the simple inn. Everyone turned to look at her. There were several dim places.
The candlelight made people sleepy and yawned one after another. All the old men were resting here, with cold tea in front of them. They glanced at her casually, then turned their eyes back and continued to stare at the tea cups, chatting in groups of two.
Boring topic. On weekdays, as long as there are many coachmen and few guests, this place is still very lively, but now everyone is lifeless.
"Close the door quickly! The wind is blowing in, and old rheumatism is killing me." An old man shouted, and she quickly turned around and closed the door.
"Here comes another one." Someone said casually, and then chatted with the person next to him.
Ling Hu took a few steps forward. Where he passed, the residual snow melted quickly, leaving behind a series of irregular footprints.
"Can someone please take the car?" she asked, pulling back the velvet in front of her.
No one paid attention to her. Only two or three people glanced at her and continued to pour tea and chat. She could understand from this attitude that no one wanted to do business today. How could this be done? Once the snow stopped, she still had to wait for the snow to melt.
, or hire someone to shovel the snow. While the road is not closed now, can she get to the bottom of the mountain in time? Go to another place.
In addition to an ordinary road, a city also has to climb a low mountain. Her goal is to go down the mountain and stay in a good hotel there. Her family has been there several times during summer vacation, and the conditions are very good. But if
I can't go, so I can only stop here, fearing that my family will carry me back as soon as the snow stops.
"Can anyone give me a ride? I'll pay two - no, three times the price! Just go to the foot of the mountain."
Everyone knows the foot of the mountain she is talking about. There is a mountain nearby, but it is not easy to get around. Although the mountain is not high, it is a small half ring, hugging the small city. Although a few people's eyes lit up.
It was a moment, but it was fleeting. They may all feel that their lives are at stake. It is not worth it to freeze such a small amount of money.
"Any amount of money is fine!" Ling Huan was anxious, "I can still leave now!"
"Oh, girl, it's not that we won't take you." An old man with a gray beard said, he was quite kind, "This heavy snow came suddenly. Look at you, you still know how to wear two extra layers, we were not prepared.
If it freezes, I won't be able to work all winter."
"I'm sitting in the car and can lend you my snow awning..."
A middle-aged man shouted: "It's too fancy."
"It's too short." Another old man said.
"Can you deliver it?"
A young man poked his head out from a small group of people, seemingly interested. I don't know if he wanted to exchange it for money, or give it to the girl he liked to please him.
"That's not okay..." She hugged herself tightly and shook her head. The young man rolled his eyes and lay down on the table again.
She stood blankly.
"Are you a girl from the Ye family?"
There was an uncle on her left who raised the teapot. She looked over and thought he looked familiar. He must be a local coachman. Ling Huan pursed his lips and said nothing. The uncle poured the tea and gestured towards the back of the room with the mouth of the teapot.
"What's the emergency? You can ask Uncle Qin. His wife is seriously ill and needs money to buy medicine. I just saw him going out and I wonder if he has to drive. His old horse can run in wind or rain, and
He is the same, but he is too stubborn and always loses his temper before going on the road. Maybe you can go and have a look if he hasn't left yet."
"Thanks!"
Ye Linghua rushed towards the back door, remembering to close the door this time. Sure enough, she saw a carriage on the road from a distance, and the driver slowly prepared to get up. She ran forward and asked eagerly:
"Uncle, are you leaving? Go to Shangen."
The uncle squinted his eyes. He didn't know that his eyes were not big in the first place, but he didn't know how to use his eyesight. His head was bald and he looked cold, and his face was crisscrossed with furrows, making it easy for snow to hide. He finally heard clearly, nodded, and pointed to the car.
Ling Quan was so happy that he climbed into the car.
After getting in the car, Ling Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She put her luggage aside.
"Why……"
Wenwen's weak complaint frightened her.
One hand grabbed her bundle and moved it away with difficulty, revealing a young man's face.
