The snow was everywhere, and the donkey cart slowly left the gate of Zhangcheng.

Fortunately, the donkey was fed strongly. Xiao Zhen, Su Jinniang and Uncle Liu's family were seated in the car. Ruyi Jixiang. Including Agui who was driving the car, the donkey was able to move, and his nostrils were whispering.

Agui and Uncle Liu occupied one side of the seat, and Aunt Liu and the four female volleyball teams were crowded at the rear of the car, crowding each other to keep warm, facing the front, and in the center of the donkey carriage, Su Jinniang and Xiao Zhen formed a small, relatively closed world.

Su Jin wrapped the big red quilt again. Aman lay in his mother's arms, covering it tightly. No one could see the girl outside. Only Su Jin lowered his head could see the beautiful face of his daughter in the cradle. Opposite her, Xiao Zhen put a cushion under her body. Archer wanted to sit alone, but Su Jin was afraid that his son would be frozen, so he asked Xiao Zhen to hold the baby for her.

Xiao Zhen also felt sorry for the thin Archer, and pulled the boy on his legs without saying a word, and then wrapped the Archer with a quilt.

Archer was stiff all over. When he came to Changcheng, he was five years old and was hugged by his mother. Now he is eight years old...

After Su Jin coaxed his daughter to fall asleep, he looked up and met his son's stiff little face.

Su Jin couldn't help laughing. This son was young, but he looked like an old man seriously.

Xiao Zhen had something in his heart and kept looking at Su Jin. Then, he saw Su Jin's smile. There was snow everywhere. In the vast white world, she sat there wrapped in a red quilt, revealing only a white and tender face, thick black hair, moist eyes, bright like the bright stars at night.

She was so energetic, as if his loss of office had no effect on her.

But how could it not have any impact? He became an official, she was an official wife, and now he lost his official position, he was penniless, she...

In a daze, those bright phoenix eyes met him directly.

Xiao Zhen subconsciously avoided.

The strong-willed man, the moment he lowered his eyes, could make the viewer feel a little wronged.

Su Jin sighed silently.

She was annoyed that Xiao Zhen did not listen to advice before, and instead offended the commander Li Yong if he had a advantage. Now Xiao Zhen suffered because of his integrity and integrity. Su Jin did not have any thought of mocking him for not listening to advice, but only felt sad and helpless for Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen was right, really gave him the opportunity to show his ambitions. Xiao Zhen must be a good general and a good official. Unfortunately, the world is like this, and it is like Xiao Zhen who is unwilling to change his "stubborn donkey" for his career. It is difficult to survive.

"What are your plans next?" Su Jin asked after knowing that Xiao Zhen had something to say.

Xiao Zhen looked up and looked around, with no clue.

Su Jin followed his sight and forgot about it, and felt the same way, the world was so big that there was nowhere to go.

She and Feng Shi also have a small courtyard and a small shop in Yangzhou, but the neighbors in Yangzhou were full of malice towards her. Su Jin was not afraid, but she did not want her children to be criticized. She wanted to go to a place where no one knew her. Feng Shi died, and no one would suspect the identity of Archer's biological father because of his appearance, which made him missing gossip.

But, where to go?

"I heard that the ancestral home of Mr. Tongzhou?" Su Jin asked tentatively.

Xiao Zhen understood what she meant and lowered his eyes and said, "The house has been destroyed, and it is useless to travel a long distance."

Su Jin observed his expression and vaguely felt that Xiao Zhen did not want to go back to his home in Tongzhou, but the reason was hard to guess.

"Then let's just choose a place in Liaodong. Yangzhou is too far away, and the three of us are used to the climate of Liaodong, so we will no longer move." Su Jin said as the leader. It was cold, so she wanted to rent a house as soon as possible to prevent her children from being frozen.

Xiao Zhen was very familiar with Liaodong and proposed several prosperous cities for Su Jin to choose from.

The more prosperous the city, the easier it is to sell. Su Jin said without hesitation: "Just go to Fengyang!"

Fengyang City is the provincial capital of Liaodong and the place where the Liao Prince's Mansion is located.

For Xiao Zhen, it is the same wherever he goes. After pointing the way for Agui, he was finally willing to face Su Jin and said in a stern manner: "My brother and sister, I am penniless now and don't want to drag you down. Zhangcheng is still four or five days away from Fengyang. I will escort you here first and wait until you settle in Fengyang, and I will say goodbye."

Xiao Zhen knew that Su Jin had some savings in her hands, and she was also a woman who could make a living by herself. With Agui and Uncle Liu's family, Ruyi Jixiang helped her. Without his burden, Su Jin would only live a easier life.

Su Jin still doesn’t know that Xiao Zhen is poor now?

Xiao Zhen proposed to leave at this time, and his conscience was at ease. Xiao Xiao was free and easy to go out alone, but Su Jin had to bear the reputation of ungratefulness. When Xiao Zhen was well developed, she followed her to eat and drink. When Xiao Zhen poured her down, she would clean up the snow in front of the door.

Looking at Xiao Zhen, Su Jin sneered: "Is it possible that in the eyes of adults, I, Su Jin, are the villain who is waiting for power, wealth, and loves wealth and hates poverty?"

The little woman's eyes will become brighter when she is angry, but the corners of her mouth are smiling, but it is even more scary than not smiling. Xiao Zhen hurriedly explained: "Xiao has no intention, don't want it..."

Su Jin interrupted him impatiently: "Since the lord is willing to call me brother and sister, how can the family be in trouble? The elder brother abandons orphans and widows and mothers? We are not familiar with the place in Liaodong. If the lord leaves, if Wu Youcai comes out to bully us again, who will we ask for support?"

Xiao Zhen was speechless.

Archer, who was sitting on his lap, suddenly looked up at him with peach blossom eyes, with black and white eyes: "Sir, don't leave."

The young boy was calm and sensible, not as sweet as his sister, and he could act coquettishly, but his closeness at critical moments was like a bowl of hot wine, warming Xiao Zhen's heart. Touching Archer's head, Xiao Zhen didn't dare to mention leaving, but...

He looked at Su Jin and smiled bitterly: "I have no official position now, I am poor and useless. I really have no face to rely on my brother and sister to eat and drink for free."

Su Jin raised his eyebrows and stared at him and snorted: "The adults think about it beautifully. Who said that you can eat and drink for free? You are strong and healthy, and you are worried that you can't find a good job to make a living? If it really doesn't work, you should sell buns for me. I, a woman, shouldn't show up in public. You are so handsome. If you go to set up a stall, the little ladies and girls on the street will definitely support you and compete to buy our buns."

As soon as this said, Ruyi couldn't help but laughed first.

Spring peaches, good luck follows closely.

The first time she was ridiculed by girls in person, Xiao Zhen was very uncomfortable and whispered to Su Jin: "Don't talk nonsense with brother and sister."

Don’t say this in the streets and alleys too often, Xiao Zhen couldn’t even erase it. Su Jin curled his lips and stared at him, “Anyway, sir, I can’t find a suitable errand, so I’ll sell buns for me. I’ll pay you every month.”

Xiao Zhen looked at her helplessly.

Su Jin imagined that he was selling buns in a stall, and smiled again. His eyes were curved, charming, and as lively as if the flowers were trembling in the spring breeze.

Xiao Zhen looked away politely, but Feng Shi's words sounded in his ears:

"Of course I do, Jinniang is so good."

After five days of walking and stopping, a car of people rushed to Fengyang City on the eve of the Lantern Festival.

During the Chinese New Year Festival, the Chinese New Year atmosphere in the mansion was full of joy, and the people entering and leaving the city gate were all happy.

Su Jin and several women were sitting on a donkey cart. The men went to find out which house had a house to rent. Finally, Agui first found a two-entry courtyard located in the east of the city. The rent was one tael of silver per month. It was quite expensive, but Shipan Lane where the house was located was quiet and peaceful. There was a famous private school two streets away, which was suitable for Agui to study.

Su Jin paid the rent for half a year in one go.

With the house, Su Jin slept comfortably and peacefully. The next day, Xiao Zhen went to find an errand alone, and Su Jin and Agui went to find a rented shop together.

On the first day, both gangs returned without success.

The next day, Su Jin still couldn't find the shop, so Xiao Zhen found a rice shop for him to carry goods.

Su Jin firmly disagreed: "My lord once reached the fourth rank and was brave and resourceful on the battlefield. How could he be so despised by himself?"

Xiao Zhen laughed at himself: "If my brother and sister look down on me, call me elder brother. Xiao is now white and can't be the name of an adult."

The eldest brother was useless, Su Jin just disagreed with him to carry the rice.

The little woman obviously only reached his chest, but she was threatening like a tigress, so she dared not disobey. Xiao Zhen listened to her for the time being. However, by the end of the month, Su Jin's new shop was opened, and Xiao Zhen still couldn't find a decent chore that satisfies her. After eating rice for more than half a month, Xiao Zhen finally stopped listening to Su Jin and took on the job of carrying rice on her back. Anyway, he was going out, and Su Jin couldn't stop him.

Xiao Zhen was tall and strong, and had enough strength to support two or three ordinary people. He worked diligently for a month and settled the bill in early March. Xiao Zhen finally made a tael of silver. As soon as the boss gave the money, he handed it to Su Jin. The man held a hanging of worn-out copper coins in his calloused palms.

Su Jin was inexplicably sad.

When Xiao Zhen was still a thousand households, she had eaten with Xiao Zhen at the same table. Knowing Xiao Zhen’s appetite, after coming to Fengyang, Xiao Zhen reduced his appetite and only ate half of the previous ones. He refused to eat more after she did it. In addition, he did the tiring job of carrying rice. In just one month, Xiao Zhen lost weight.

Su Jin wanted to scold him very much, but he was worried that his abuse would hurt the self-esteem of the older man more and more.

Doesn’t he want to be an official? Doesn’t he want to be respected in food and clothing?

But he has no choice, and the officialdom cannot tolerate him.

Su Jin could not persuade Xiao Zhen to eat more, nor could he watch him lose weight.

That night, Xiao Zhen came back from work. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, the three-year-old Xiao Aman ran out and sweetly called him godfather.

As the little girl could say more and more, Su Jin finally corrected her daughter's name for Xiao Zhen.

The girl was wearing a clean white dress, Xiao Zhen was covered in dust, and his hands were stretched out to hug his goddaughter. When he saw the dirt on his palm, Xiao Zhen shrank back and coaxed Aman as if nothing had happened: "Godfather's body is dirty, go change his clothes first, and then hug Aman after changing clothes."

Aman didn't dislike his godfather, and raised his little arms high and continued to hug him.

Xiao Zhen was reluctant to refuse his daughter, rubbed her hands hard on the hem of her clothes, then lifted the girl's arm and raised it high, preventing Aman from touching him. Aman liked to be raised by his godfather, and laughed happily, his voice like a silver bell.

Xiao Zhen went to change his clothes, and after changing, he loved his goddaughter.

It was about to have supper, Chuntao brought four big meat buns over and a bowl of steaming pork ribs porridge.

If the porridge is not eaten, it will be broken. Xiao Zhenxin felt guilty and ate this bowl of good porridge. He only ate one of the buns, and Chuntao will take away the rest.

"Godfather has eaten it!" Aman refused to let Chuntao touch the buns, so Xiaopang grabbed one with him and stuffed it to his godfather.

Xiao Zhen said he was full.

Aman looked at his godfather, remembering his mother's advice, and insisted that he ate all the godfathers, but she would pretend to cry if he didn't eat it.

Xiao Zhen understood that this was Su Jin's idea.

He didn't want to eat too much, but when Aman cried, he knew it was fake, but Xiao Zhen couldn't bear to leave it alone.

In desperation, Xiao Zhen's appetite improved again.

In mid-April, Xiao Zhen followed his boss out to transport goods. The boss saw that he had the ability and promoted Xiao Zhen to be the guardhouse of the rice shop. If a thief ran out on the way to transport goods, Xiao Zhen could also help repel the other party.

The food transport convoy returned to Fengyang City smoothly and waited to enter the city gate.

Xiao Zhen rode on the horse and followed the team slowly forward. Before he knew it, his eyes turned to the direction of "Xiao House".

The two-entry courtyard was leased by Su Jin, but she insisted on engraving his surname on the plaque. Someone from the neighbors asked about it, and she said that the three of them were in trouble, and it was her husband's sworn brother who took them in mercy and continued to let him be the head of the family.

He has been away from home for half a month after this trip. Xiao Aman must have missed him, right?

Xiao Zhen also missed Aman. He hugged Aman as soon as he was born and watched the girl grow up day by day. In Xiao Zhen's heart, Aman was no different from his biological daughter.

Just as he was thinking, a neat sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind him, like a well-trained war horse in the army. Xiao Zhen's heart moved slightly and looked back.

There were more than a dozen riders in total. The leading man was wearing a round neck embroidered python robe, a jade crown, and a dragon-shaped phoenix seal. Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment and immediately recognized him. He was the fourth prince of the dynasty, the King of Liao. He had seen the King of Liao when he was attacking the remnants of Liang State.
