When Aruo heard the sound, she quickly stopped her hand and looked back at her, "Mianmian, you're awake."
Mianmian looked at the sweat on his forehead and said distressedly: "You don't need to do these heavy tasks. Come on, let's go have breakfast first."
She said that and walked towards him.
Aruo said quickly: "Mianmian, this place is dirty, don't come here."
The ground in the backyard was full of sawdust and some tree trunks with soil.
Mianmian paused, and then she realized that she was too impatient to put on her shoes when she got up.
She happened to step on the mud.
Aruo immediately put down the ax in his hand, "Mianmian, don't move, I'll come over." ?.?????.???
Mianmian stood obediently and didn't move.
Aruo strode up to her, picked her up, and strode towards the house.
After carefully placing Mianmian on the chair, he turned around and fetched a basin of clean water to wash her feet.
These things were done by palace maids in the past.
Aruo was mostly outside the palace, but now in this old house, he could only do it himself.
Mianmian looked at his hanging hair and was slightly lost in thought.
After a long time, she suddenly asked: "Aruo, how were you during those years in Nanyi?"
Aruo paused, then continued to wash her, "If having food and clothing is good, then it is good. If being beaten and scolded is bad, then it is bad."
Mianmian's always smiling eyes showed a hint of sadness. She looked at him in trance and said slowly: "It would be better if I could meet you earlier."
A Ruo smiled and said: "It's early enough. The time I spent in Xuanyue Kingdom is not as short as in Nanyi."
"No." Mianmian retorted, "I mean earlier."
"Earlier?" Aruo smiled and wiped her feet with a handkerchief, "Earlier when?"
Mianmian looked at him deeply and said seriously: "Of course it was when you were just born."
A Ruo was slightly startled, holding the handkerchief and staying in mid-air.
Mianmian continued: "If I could meet you when you were just born, I would definitely take you away from Nanyi and come to our Changliu Village."
"Changliu Village may not be as nice as the Imperial Palace, but here we don't have to worry about food or clothing, and we are free."
"This way, you won't be scolded by your father, you won't be looked down upon by them because of your mother's background, and you won't have your legs broken by someone sent by that princess."
"What's more important is that you don't have to be Nanyi's hostage, you just have to be yourself."
"You can go wherever you want."
Mianmian said, put on her shoes, stood up slowly, and came behind him.
A Ruo turned his back to her, his eyes slightly red. After a long time, he turned around and smiled: "It's a pity that there is no hypothesis, but it's good now. Now I am not a hostage of Nanyi Kingdom, I am the princess's bodyguard."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the backyard without waiting for Mianmian's reply, "Princess, you go have breakfast first, we have to go to Cheng'an County later."
Mianmian was immediately disappointed. She wanted to say something to him, but Aruo never gave her a chance.
She slowly raised her eyes to look at the cornmeal in the kitchen, gritted her teeth, turned around, and started eating.
After breakfast, Aruo had already prepared the carriage and arrived at the door of the old house.
Mianmian changed her clothes and strode into the carriage.
They came to Changliu Village and couldn't see their grandmother for a few days.
Mianmian missed her a little.
In Cheng'an County.
Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince have been living in seclusion in Cheng'an County for three years with Zhouzhou.
They live in the house that Du Wanchun bought in the past, next to Zhang Qiuhe's family, and continue to look after their own incense shop.
Xiangfang is in Zhuangzi. Doctor Xu and Du Damei live in separate courtyards. Although they are two families, they get along like one family.
The daughter of Du Damei's family and the son of Mrs. Miao's family are already engaged, and they are more closely related.
Zhang Qiuhe's son and daughter have grown up a lot and can help look after the shop together.
Even if Du Wanchun did not personally come to Cheng'an County to manage these shops in these years, Zhang Qiuhe and Wang Qiu could manage them in an orderly manner.
None of them expected that Mianmian would come back alone.
Zhang Qiuhe was about to go out to the shop when he looked up and saw a carriage driving towards the door of Zhou's mansion.
She felt something, and quickly pulled Wang Qiu and said, "Ms., do you think the spring has returned?"
Wang Qiu said with a smile: "Wan Chun is the queen now. How can I say I will come back?"
Zhang Qiuhe shook his head, "No, no, let's go to Zhou Mansion and have a look."
Wang Qiu smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Zhang Qiuhe pulled Wang Qiu and walked quickly towards Zhou's house.
At this time, Xiao Mianmian's carriage happened to stop in front of Zhou's mansion.
Aruo glanced at the door of Zhou Mansion, then turned back to Mianmian and asked, "Is this here?"
Mianmian opened the curtain of the carriage to take a look, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's right here."
She had lived in this mansion for some time, so she remembered it very clearly.
Aruo stopped the carriage and then helped Mianmian down.
Mianmian walked towards the door and was stopped by two boys.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
