What to Do About Calcium Deficiency [Cross ABO]

This cold winter came very late, and the first snow fell only in the twelfth lunar month.

In the morning when I opened the curtain, I saw goose-feather-sized snowflakes fluttering outside, and Duanmu Rui was having breakfast with Ping An An in the room.

"Dad, it's snowing so hard today, let's take a day off..." Pingping drank the hot soup and ate the crispy rolls bought by Yuexiangzhai.

"Yes, Daddy will play with us for a day! Ah Quan is bored to death." An An also echoed, "I can't kick a fart without kicking three times!"

Duanmu Rui tapped An An's head with his chopsticks, "A girl, you are so shameless!"

An An buried her head in her meal, while Ping Ping continued to eat the crispy rolls on the table.

Duanmu Rui seriously considered whether to take a day off. In order to save some money this year, he hardly took a day off. Thinking that today is not the end of the month, and all the prefectures are not busy, there should be no one to do accounts, and it is snowing heavily God, no one will come.

"Alright, dad won't be going today, so I'll stay with you at home."

Ping Anan was overjoyed, picked up the bowl and gulped down the soup, then wiped his mouth with his sleeves, "I'm full, let's have a snowball fight!"

Duanmu Rui silently looked at the two guys who were almost four years old in front of him, they were really getting more and more tossed, and they didn't look like a young lady at all.

"It's snowing heavily outside, why don't you go play again." Duanmu Rui suggested.

Ping Anan was wearing a thick cotton robe, "Don't!"

Duanmu Rui let them go, so he had to wear thick clothes. By the way, he asked his servants to put two more braziers in the room in advance, prepared a change of dry clothes, and brought them thick cotton hats and gloves. The two went to the yard.

The courtyard was completely white, and even the bumpy stones on the path could not be seen clearly, only the slight undulations on the snow surface.

"Sir, Mr...." A person came in directly from the door. He was a helper in Duanmu Rui's bookkeeping shop. He was a helper Duanmurui recruited in the second half of the year. "Go to the shop and have a look. Today's guests are here to do the bookkeeping. It's very urgent."

The helper is called Shitou, and he takes care of everything in the shop except the accounts. He hurried in to find Duanmurui, without even having time to put on his hat and gloves.

"Today's guest?" Duanmu Rui was still holding a freshly held snowball in his hand, and shouted on the opposite side, "Dad, throw it away!"

"Yes, sir. I'm waiting in the shop right now. I tell you to go quickly." Shitou ran to him and looked at him in embarrassment. "Those people said they were introduced by acquaintances, so I didn't refuse."

Duanmurui thought about it, put down the snowball in his hand, "I'll go there," he called Ah Quan, "You pay him for a few minutes and take them back to the house, I'll be back when I go."

After hearing this, Ping Anan immediately blushed, "Daddy promised to accompany us, so let's go again!"

Duanmu Rui couldn't bear it, so he knelt down and explained to them seriously.In the end, Mu Rui went to the shop, and went back to the house with his mouth pouting Ping An An, intending to read and write.

Not knowing the background of the people who came to the shop, Duanmu Rui felt that they were not ordinary people at the first sight when he opened the door.The clothes looked a little unusual, both of them were wearing large cloaks with fringed edges, reaching to the ankles, and the fabric was of such good quality that even a snowy day couldn't conceal the luster.The hats they put on the table are also full of fur, which is many times more expensive than cotton ones.

"I don't know if you two will come today. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." Duanmu Rui greeted quickly. Such customers come with business at first glance, and they are not stingy. It is best to have more such high-quality customers. .

"We are the ones who bothered you, and we will call you here in this weather..."

"It's okay, it's okay," Duanmu Rui quickly stopped the other party, and went straight to the topic so as not to waste time, "I don't know what accounts you two are going to do today? If you do it at the end of the month, I'm afraid it will be too late. The end of these months has already been arranged. Not open."

"No, it's not the general ledger at the end of the month. I just entrusted Mr. as a third party to sort out a batch of accounts under the supervision of the government." The two explained their purpose and paid the deposit by the way.

Duanmu Rui was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. After confirming that his duty was only to check the accounts, he happily took over the job.

It was only when he went to the government office with the abacus and other tools that he saw the accounts. They were scattered all over the table, very messy and clueless. List of items and silver.

This is an audit?Duanmu Rui's first reaction was this.

Next, he made the accounts with peace of mind. The more he did it, the more trembling he felt. There were many obvious sources of corruption and bribery, but the accounts in the mansion obviously did not match the market value. It took eight days for Rui to unite the small ledger of expenses in the mansion, as well as the details of various items. Except for sleeping at night, the rest of the time was spent in the mansion, and finally handed over the complete account to the magistrate.

I don't know who is in that family, who actually embezzled and accepted tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Duanmu Rui heaved a sigh of relief after handing over the accounts, and then the two people who came to him that day delivered the remaining silver taels to his shop in person.

Duanmurui thought that this matter was over, but unexpectedly, a few days later, the stone in the shop chatted with him, telling him that the Cao family in the upper capital was ransacked, and the Cao family members were beheaded, allotted, and exiled. None remained.

"Who is this Cao family?" Maybe there are many dignitaries in Shangjing, but Duanmu Rui didn't realize which family it was for a while.

"This family is not ordinary!" Shitou seemed to know something serious, "Several people in this family are officials in the court. The high-ranking second-rank and the low-ranking six-rank are said to have embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver and were confiscated. I don't know how many people were involved."

"Corruption?" Duanmu Rui immediately contacted the previous few days, but that time the government came forward and did not reveal the family name of the government, so he stopped asking, "Stop talking about this matter here, don't spread it casually!"

"It's sir!" Shitou replied, but he still didn't stop his gossip, "It is said that Cao's family is the mother's family of the Empress Dowager..."

Duanmu Rui gave Shitou a warning, Shitou shut up quickly.

This kind of thing is too much to say and wrong, especially the accountant's mouth must be tight, and the judgment must not be influenced by the message, and it is the terminator of all kinds of messages.

Duanmu Rui didn't have much interest in the message, but the emperor was frowned all day long by this matter.

"Don't tell me that you secured your position as a first-rank general just to get rid of the Cao family!" The emperor threw the zhezi on the face of the Ninth Prince.

"I dare not..."

"Don't dare! I didn't see you being so strong-minded earlier. Now that your wings are hard and you don't guard Nanyang, you come to torment the Cao family. How do you make the Queen Mother Huangquan look at me!" People dared to come in, even the eunuchs hid far away.

"But the Cao family is indeed a moth, and the copied money has offset a lot of national treasury expenses." The Ninth Prince hurriedly stood away after finishing speaking.

"To copy Cao's house today, you really slapped me in the face in front of everyone! The Queen Mother spoils you so much that you are blind, and even messed with people from the matrilineal side!"

The Ninth Prince still insisted, "It's their unrighteousness. If they behave righteously, even if I want to punish them, it will not be easy!"

"A third-party audit is also used! It's ridiculous! Is the Ministry of Accounts a display?"

"Because the Cao family can't find a way, and for the sake of fairness in the audit, I don't know which family the third party is. These are all entrusted by the magistrate and kept secret. It would not be easy for the Ministry of Households to come forward."

"It's ridiculous! Even if you ransacked your house, you should have communicated with me in advance. Today, you are forcing me to make a decision. It's a leopard's guts!"

Ninth Prince quickly knelt down, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"That's all," the emperor waved his hand, "I also wanted to get rid of those moths in Cao's family, but it was because of the empress dowager's face, and I was busy with other things for a while. Get along with me, or let others see the joke? Zhenzhen has been in your house for more than half a year, and I don’t know if I can adapt to it? Why didn’t you take back the Omega I gave you during the general election a few days ago?”

The emperor calmed down as he spoke. Although the move of the Ninth Prince refuted his face, he took down the unfavorable statement and brought praises for killing his relatives. Apart from giving him a poke, everything else was fine. It was the voice of praise, so the emperor made a fuss and chatted about other things.

"Fortunately," the Ninth Prince said, "Zhenzhen adapted very quickly. I was worried that Zhenzhen would not accept it, so I didn't let those Omega enter the mansion. I don't want it this year, and I will talk about it next year."

The emperor directly exposed him, "Why can't you accept it, it's obvious that you can't forget your Omega, right? You are in love, you didn't die, and you took half your life back to raise your child."

Ninth Prince smiled, "I'm the only heir, if I don't raise it, whoever will raise it."

The emperor made him so angry that he told the Ninth Prince to go back to the mansion to take care of his children early. The Ninth Prince took the opportunity to sneak out and bought some snacks to take back with him.

As soon as he entered the Ninth Prince's Mansion, he saw Zhenzhen practicing his sword in the open space, "Fang! Really! Really!" the Ninth Prince shouted.

Seeing that it was the Ninth Prince, he immediately stopped his sword dancing hand and cupped his fists at the Ninth Prince, "Father!"

"Come and eat delicious food!" He shook the greased paper bag in his hand.

With a calm expression on his face, Zhenzhen walked towards the Ninth Prince with a serious face. His body was much taller, his face was stern, and his cool appearance seemed very mature.

When he arrived in front of him, he seriously proposed to the Ninth Prince again, "Don't call me that, Father, it's too stupid!"

"Fang Zhenzhen?" The Ninth Prince smiled and called out again on purpose.

Zhenzhen raised her eyes to look at him, her momentum was very calm, and she warned the Ninth Prince in a childish voice, "The name given to me by the emperor is Fang Hongzhen, not Fang Zhenzhen!"

Ninth Prince pinched his face, "I like to call you Fang Zhenzhen!"

Zhenzhen ignored him at all this time, took the pea yellow wrapped in oil paper and started eating.

"I remember you loved eating this when you were one year old, but I didn't expect you would still love it now!" The Ninth Prince simply sat on the stone bench and ate with him.

"Father, are you really not going to bring those Omegas in?" Zhenzhen said for no reason.

"how do you know?"

"I heard that there are less than ten people in the prince's house? Only your family, besides you, is me. I don't know if your palms have calluses."

Ninth Prince slapped Zhenzhen on the forehead, "How dare you make fun of me!"

Zhenzhen still looked serious, "Honestly, you can connect in, I don't care."

The Ninth Prince immediately put away his joking expression, and said seriously, "...let's talk about it."

Afterwards, the Ninth Prince patted Zhenzhen's head and went back to the house by himself.

He leaned on the couch, took out the dagger of the Western Feudal Kingdom and put it on his chest, touched it again and again, the blood had long since disappeared, but he could still feel the feeling of the knife point piercing his chest that day.

It's like a relief and a new beginning, ending the annoyance on one side and letting go of everything to follow the footsteps of that person.

Just like what the fourth brother said in front of the tomb that day, everything is fine if you take it lightly.

Sure enough, if you take it lightly, your heart will no longer hurt so much. Touching the dagger in front of your chest, thinking about the injury that has only been relieved in the past half a year, thinking that now it seems to be reborn, half of your spirit has already gone to that world to pursue Ruier It's good to leave half of it here to take care of Zhenzhen.

The Ninth Prince didn't take care of Zhenzhen too much, he has no experience in taking care of children, he is rough in everything, I don't know how long it took me to lie down before remembering Zhenzhen in the yard, and I don't know what he is doing now.

Seeing that it was getting dark and it was snowing heavily outside again, he went to Zhenzhen's room with some anxiety.

Zhenzhen, who is only seven years old, sits at the desk and writes alone, quietly in her own small world. There is only a brazier in the room, which is not warm at all.

The Ninth Prince suddenly felt distressed, why didn't he think of buying him two servants to accompany him, even though the mansion has been vacant for three years, but now someone has finally moved in, it is always impossible to make do with it.

He went to the servant's room to get another brazier, quietly put it into Zhenzhen's room, Zhenzhen didn't look up at him from the beginning to the end, but concentrated on practicing calligraphy, and slowly wrote one after another. open.

The Ninth Prince retreated quietly and stood outside the window looking at the light inside. He remembered what he was doing when he was seven years old. , I also learned a lot by myself.

This self-reliance looks very much like Rui'er.

It was very bright on a snowy night, but the Ninth Prince didn't feel sleepy anymore. It was deserted inside and outside the house, and there was no life in the whole mansion. He led the horse out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion and walked slowly on the deserted streets.

He recalled the scene four years ago, picking Rui'er out of Fangfu every day, and then taking Zhenzhen to the restaurant to eat and drink. At that time, Zhenzhen liked to laugh and had no worries at all. She was as pure as the clouds in the sky, like the clouds at night. snowflake.

I don't know when Zhenzhen didn't like to laugh, and gradually he had a lot of things on his mind, until now he was only seven years old, apart from discussing his homework with him, other things were buried in his heart.

I don't know how long he thought about it alone and how determined he was to persuade him to bring those omegas into the mansion today.

If Rui'er was here, he would not have understood the matter of adults so early.

I don't know if Rui'er is in the sky, if he sees him copying the Cao family, will he forgive him.If you continue to resent him, there is nothing you can do. Four years ago, the power in your hands was too weak to shake the power of the queen mother. Now the queen mother who supports the Cao family is no longer there. He had an opportunity to take advantage of, if it wasn't for the position of a first-rank general to support him, if it wasn't for someone in the court to support him, he wouldn't even be able to drag out Xiao Jue who was hiding in Cao's mansion!

Thinking of Xiaojue, the Ninth Prince hated him so much, letting him live for another four years was the greatest grace, and there must be no room for maneuver, otherwise the Ninth Prince would not be able to exile him so happily.

He just regretted that he didn't have time to hand over the letter of divorce to Xiaojue before dealing with Cao's mansion, but it was also more convenient to take the blame for the emperor and pile all the praise on the emperor's head.

For some reason, the Ninth Prince thought of Hu Ya again. As soon as Hu Ya returned to Shangjing, he went to Yongping City to report to his parents that he was safe, and then plunged into Fang's residence.Although Boss Fang didn't kick him out directly, he didn't know how Hu Ya was doing now. He hadn't seen him for nearly half a year, and the Ninth Prince planned to go and see him.

He walked out of his thoughts and was about to run to Fang's mansion, but he was surprised when he looked up. Unknowingly, he rode a horse and wandered to the front of Duanmu's house.

The Ninth Prince in front of this gate can't forget it. He came back twice during the battle, and each time there was a big lock in front of the gate. It has been nearly a year since he finally came back from the battlefield. He bypassed it for the first time, he didn't want to see that big rusty lock again, every time he saw that big brass lock, he would be depressed for many days.

This day, I came here again thinking about something on my mind for some reason. The Ninth Prince was about to turn around and leave, but he suddenly pulled the rein and stopped the horse in place.

He got off the horse, rubbed his eyes, took two steps forward, and rubbed his eyes again.

I read that right, the brass lock on the door... is gone!

The Ninth Prince seemed to be unable to react for a while, and just stood at the door for a long time, the general who was fearless, but now his heart was beating like thunder, and he was extremely nervous. It lightly landed on the door, stayed for a moment, then retracted abruptly, not daring to touch it again.

The door was so cold in the snowy night, the Ninth Prince felt hot, and he didn't dare to push it open, let alone stay for a while.

There seemed to be something scary about this door, which made the Ninth Prince so nervous that he held his breath. He was in a daze for a moment, then slowly backed away until he got on the horse, turned around and ran away.

He also forgot about going to Fang Mansion, and also forgot about his plan to ask Hu Ya, until he returned to the Nine Kings Mansion and lay there again, his mind was still full of the same question, where did the big lock on the door go?

Was it taken away by someone, or was there someone living in it!The Ninth Prince was suddenly afraid of knowing the result.

In the early morning of the second day, he didn't care about how thick the snow was, so he rode his horse and went cautiously to that Yushi Street, looking for that Boss Luo.

In fact, it is more convenient to go directly to the house to see what is going on, but the Ninth Prince is a little timid, he seems to be more accepting of going around in circles to find out the situation.

After entering the dilapidated storefront, Boss Luo immediately stood up when he saw him.

Ninth Prince sat on that simple stool, "Did you inquire about Duanmu Rui later?"

Boss Luo hurriedly pleaded guilty, "General, after you stopped this matter, I didn't bother you anymore, but once I seemed to be dazzled, I thought I saw Mr. Duanmu, and I ran to chase him for a long time before I realized that I was wrong. "

The Ninth Prince calmed down and calmed down, "When did it happen?"

Boss Luo said, "It was more than a year ago in Liucheng, a hundred miles east of Shangjing."

"Liucheng?" The Ninth Prince asked eagerly, "Where is Liucheng? Didn't you go to find out later?"

Boss Luo hurriedly knelt down, "I'm guilty of a crime. I went to squat for a while and didn't see the shadow again. I thought I was delusional, so I didn't pursue it anymore!"

The Ninth Prince didn't let him get up, but he didn't punish him either, "Which house? Follow me immediately."

"Yes!" Boss Luo hurriedly packed up the horses, and the two returned to the Jiuwang Mansion together, picked up Zhenzhen, and the three of them hurried to Liucheng.

Boss Luo introduced the master of the Kuai mansion to the Ninth Prince, and the master Kuai called out Kuai Fei.

Facing the Duanmu family's mansion without a copper lock, the Ninth Prince dared not push it open to look. He would rather run to Liucheng, a hundred miles away, to ask. Even if the answer he got was that he didn't know Duanmu Rui, his heart would not It will be a lot more practical.

But this is not the case, he heard the answer from Kuai Fei that shocked him so much that he forgot everything, "Young Master Duanmu and I are close friends, even if we return to Shangjing, we still have correspondence."

This sentence hit Ninth Lord like a bolt from the blue. It was obviously good news, but Ninth Lord felt that this scared him more than hearing that Ruier was gone. When Ruier resented him deeply, she never wanted to see him again.If it's just not in this world, he can still deceive himself, cover up the real situation, and create a reasonable reason for himself, but he is alive, and he has to face some problems that he has to face. Instead of being resented by Rui'er, he will never see each other again , It is better to believe that he is not in this world.

But he felt relaxed all over again, and his heart, which had been calm for so many years, was aroused by these words. The ripples slowly spread out, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Boss Luo immediately knelt at the feet of the Ninth Prince and begged for a light punishment, but the Ninth Prince had no time to answer him. He opened his mouth and looked at Mr. Kuai for a long while, until Mr. Kuai coughed a few times, the Ninth Prince knew he had lost his composure and hurriedly apologized.

"I don't know what you want to ask Duanmu Rui for? If it's urgent, I can convey it on your behalf, but it's not convenient for me to disclose Mr. Duanmu's address." Mr. Kuai saw that they didn't look like they were looking for trouble, so he took the initiative to ask.

The Ninth Prince bowed his hands to thank Mr. Kuai, took the opportunity to tell the whole story about him and Rui'er, and begged Mr. Kuai to tell him about Rui'er's situation in the past few years.

After listening to Mr. Kuai, tears were streaming down his face and he couldn't make a sound. The Ninth Prince didn't know why he was like this, but his heart was already in a ball.

Seeing the sincerity of the Ninth Prince, Mr. Kuai directly took the Ninth Prince to the place where Duanmu Rui lived before.

Other people already lived in this house, Mr. Kuai accommodated him, gave him two taels of silver, and brought the Ninth Prince into the house.

Several people sat in this courtyard for the whole afternoon, Mr. Kuai told the Ninth Prince that he was pregnant with twins when he first met Rui'er, and told him how difficult it was for Rui'er to raise a baby alone, and he never bought anything nutritious, Kuai He didn't eat much of what the young master specially brought over. The Ninth Prince seemed to have seen Rui'er sitting on the recliner in the yard with her huge belly in her arms, living alone.

Mr. Kuai also told him that Rui'er accidentally fell because she was going to register for twins, resulting in a premature birth two months in advance, and then donated half of her family property to the war, and finally made up her mind to return to Shangjing.

Mr. Kuai talked all afternoon, while the Ninth Prince remained silent all afternoon. He could imagine how Ruier had been living by himself in the past few years, and he could even feel how lonely he was alone. If he hadn't had a child Accompany him, maybe he is really not in this world.

It should be a happy thing to know that Rui'er is still alive, but the Ninth Prince felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Saying goodbye to Mr. Kuai at night, he took Zhenzhen and Boss Luo back to Shangjing overnight.

"Bring the brochure of the Omega that screened the twins last time and the roster of the donated war." He ordered his servants as soon as he entered the mansion. Boss Luo didn't dare to leave, and followed behind him waiting for punishment.

Zhenzhen insisted on following him, and didn't sleep all night. The Ninth Prince saw that his eyelids could hardly be opened, but he still insisted on sitting next to him, tilting it from time to time, and immediately regained consciousness.

"Go to sleep first."

"No!" It was really rare to disobey the Ninth Prince.

"Hey, father check something, and I'll tell you when I have clues." The Ninth Prince carried Zhenzhen into his room without saying anything, pushed him down on the bed and covered the quilt tightly, and there were two braziers in the room , It's warm and doesn't feel cold at all.

"Father," Zhenzhen was still worried, "If there is any news about Daddy, please tell me."

The Ninth Prince saw the rare begging look in Zhenzhen's eyes, he couldn't help touching his forehead, bowed his head and kissed him, "Definitely!"

Zhenzhen closed his eyes and fell asleep, Ninth Prince tucked him in the quilt and walked out gently.

Back in the study, the servants had already placed such a thick list in front of his case, and Boss Luo was still kneeling on the ground. The Ninth Prince glanced at him, "What crime should I give you?"

Boss Luo kowtowed again and again, "It's all due to the incompetence of the minister, please punish me lightly, please allow the minister to make up for his mistakes."

The Ninth Prince still didn't let him get up, he lowered his head and began to flip through the omega booklet that had already been turned upside down.

This booklet registered the Omega who gave birth to twins in June of that year. The Ninth Prince did not expect that Ruier might give birth early. According to Mr. Kuai, Ruier should have given birth at the end of April and early May, and it was difficult to give birth at that time... ...Almost really lost them, the Ninth Prince's heart was beating so hard, fortunately, Mr. Kuai took care of them, otherwise he would have really lost them.

Kuai Mansion must be very grateful, but Ruier... hey...

The Ninth Prince kept sighing, and Boss Luo didn't dare to let out a breath.

The roster of Omega really happens to be on the first day of June, so there will be no information about Rui Er anyway.

He dug out the list of war donations, and the first page was the donation from the Fang Mansion.

Ninth Prince still remembered being disturbed by Ruier's news that day, and didn't even intend to look at the roster carefully. Now that he thought about it, it was ridiculous. Many things just passed him by like Boss Luo.

The Ninth Prince only turned to the third page, and in the middle he saw the three words Duanmu Rui, followed by the silver he donated, and the buckle from the Liucheng government.

The Ninth Prince thought about it, and those who can be ranked on the third page must have donated less, and these silver taels may have been more than half of Rui'er's family property, or even more than half, what did he think at the time, all the money Why donate to the war?

If he had settled down to turn over a few more pages back then, he would not have missed Rui'er for so many years. He could only blame God for not letting him find Rui'er. See, even God felt that he was not good enough for Rui'er.

"Great general..." Boss Luo waited for a long time, and finally seized the time when the Ninth Prince seemed not angry but blamed himself, "Weichen also inquired about something yesterday..."

"Say."

"It is said that when the first batch of advance troops came back, they passed by Liucheng and caught two children who strayed into the official road by mistake, but they ran away because of the royal totem golden ball hanging around the neck of the two children... ..."

Ninth Prince asked, "Why didn't you say this earlier!"

"Yes, I should be damned. This matter is only rumored in Liucheng. It is said that the illegitimate son of the royal family is secretly living in Liucheng... As for why the advance troops didn't report it, it may be because they are worried about being punished..."

"Damn it all!" the Ninth Prince scolded.

Boss Luo hurriedly lowered his head even lower.

The Ninth Prince spent a day flipping through these books, and then ordered his servants to prepare the horses.

When the horse was brought to his side, the Ninth Prince began to hesitate.

Just now, she wanted to push the door of Duanmu Rui's house immediately, but now she was timid, afraid of seeing Duanmurui, and even more afraid of Duanmurui's reaction when she saw him.

He asked the groom to lead the horse back to the stable, and he returned to the bedroom, holding the dagger and falling asleep instantly.

This feeling seemed to be a buffer for him, and also for Rui'er. The Ninth Prince, who has always been brave, did not dare to move forward at this time, for fear that one step forward would lead to irreversible consequences.

When he wakes up again, the snow that has been falling for three consecutive days has finally stopped, the yard has been swept out of the path for walking, and Zhenzhen has long been waiting by his bedside.

"Why do you get up so early?" The Ninth Prince slept soundly, and the things that had troubled him for several days suddenly became no longer bothering him.

"Wait for father's answer." Zhenzhen habitually sullenly made a small face.

"Okay!" Ninth Prince rolled over and sat up, "Let's see the answer now!"

The heavy snow stopped for three days in a row, and the streets were all white. The merchants swept the snow in front of their doors, and people in every courtyard did not stop. They all came out to sweep the snow. The children in the streets were also suffocated. The snowdrifts came out to fight snowballs and build snowmen, and Duanmu Rui was not idle either. He took Ping Anan out to get some air, and stopped by the shop to see the situation.

Ping An An was still sitting in the sedan chair, Duanmu Rui wrapped them in a thick layer, and there was a heater in the sedan chair, which was very warm.

But even this couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the little devil to open the curtain to look outside.

The market also seemed to be suffocated. The snow had just stopped, and all kinds of hawkers came out. It seemed that to make up for the vacancy that they did not come out to make money a few days ago, the market was extremely lively today.

Ping Anan couldn't bear the hawker's cries in the market, and after begging Duanmu Rui for a long time, he was finally able to get out of the sedan chair and take a look slowly.

The candied gourd rattles on the roadside sounded one after another, and even the monkey-playing artists came out to perform. The two little ghosts squeezed their way to the front, rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, shouting hello to the monkeys!

Duanmu Rui didn't stop them from playing wildly, but stood aside and watched and waited.When they had had enough trouble and went crazy, they went to the shop. If Shitou didn't come to call, it was a customer who hadn't come yet.

Pingping and An'an shouted insanely in the innermost circle, and rewarded all the pocket money of several copper coins to the monkey, and danced twice for them alone after rewarding the monkey. Ask for a few more copper coins as a reward.

Duanmu Rui looked away at the right time and did not meet them. The two guys gave up their thoughts and continued to shout around the monkey.

Although the snow was swept, it was still very cold. The monkeys had to close the booth within a quarter of an hour after performing. It was too cold and the monkeys didn't last long.

Ping Anan waited for the monkey to go far away before turning back, completely dissatisfied, the two walked with their heads down, and accidentally bumped into someone, they apologized quickly, but they didn't wait for that person's forgiveness.

Ping Anan couldn't help but look back at the impolite person who didn't know how to reply, but found that it was a brother who was not much older than them. The brother looked small but had a cold expression on his face. They couldn't help shrinking their necks. Quickly lowered his head and ran back to Duanmu Rui's side.

"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Duanmu Rui looked at the panting guys who ran to him.

The two shook their heads in unison, "It's okay, Daddy, let's go buy candied haws!"

"Alright, can you get on the sedan chair?" Duanmu Rui asked.

The little guys continued to shake their heads, "No way, no way!"

Not far away was a hawker selling candied haws, Duanmu Rui led them over, and bought one each with copper coins.

"Oh... the big brother just now!" An An said behind Duanmu Rui.

Duanmu Rui looked back to see what happened, but he was stunned on the spot.

The big brother reached out to An An with a copper coin in his palm, "You dropped it just now."

An An squeezed the copper coin from his hand, "Thank you." The voice was soft and small, full of fear of this brother.

This elder brother kept his face cold and didn't smile at all. What's more frightening was that the air pressure around him was much colder than that of his father, but he didn't feel that annoying, but he didn't dare to approach him.

The elder brother turned and left, turned around to report to Duanmu Rui safely, but saw his father whom he had never seen before, "Daddy, why are you crying..."

Ping Anan quickly came over and hugged Duanmu Rui, hugging his leg, "Daddy, we didn't run around, that brother paid us back, Daddy, don't be angry with us..."

Duanmu Rui stared at the leaving figure of the child, with tears in his eyes, ignoring the sideways glances of the people on the street, "Really..." This child looks very much like Zhenzhen, he has changed a lot from his childhood appearance, Thinner and taller, but I can't get rid of that feeling, and I have a slightly angular face carved out of the same mold as the Ninth Prince, just as stern and arrogant.

At that moment, Duanmu Rui was sure that he was Zhenzhen, who hadn't seen him for five years.

Whether to admit it or not, Duanmu Rui seemed to have an idea without thinking about it.

Zhenzhen seems to be living a good life. She is dressed in brocade and satin, with fur for warmth, a delicate short knife on her waist, and a horse that is not very tall behind her. The horse's fur is shiny and shiny. You can tell this person at a glance Life is good.

Recognizing each other rashly may bring confusion to Zhenzhen.

Duanmurui looked at Zhenzhen who left, and was full of relief. The Ninth Prince took care of him very well. He was very imposing like the Ninth Prince, and he had it since he was a child!

"Daddy, Daddy!" An An continued to shake Duanmu Rui's sleeve, "What's wrong with you, Daddy..."

Duan Murui quickly knelt down and carried him into the sedan chair, wiped away his tears and smiled, "It's all right, Daddy is all right, it's just that he lost his eyes."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhenzhen uneasy. Zhenzhen led the horse and looked at the small vendors on the street without looking back.Duanmurui smiled at Zhenzhen, at this moment he was extremely satisfied, how many times he had imagined meeting each other, all of them were hugging each other and crying, but he didn't know that when they really met, they couldn't recognize each other. Smiling and looking at the back that has grown up.

"Daddy, why is the uncle over there crying too..." Pingping pulled Duanmu Rui and pointed behind him.

Duanmu Rui turned his head, and three zhang away, there was another person with red eyes and tears in his eyes, staring at them blankly, motionless as if in a daze.

"Dad, is he also lost?" An An rubbed her eyes and looked at them puzzled.

Duanmu Rui didn't say a word, and he reacted instantly, whether that person is a human or a ghost...

But the next moment he realized, this person is not dead!

He should have thought of it when he first saw Zhenzhen, but he forgot.

The person who should have disappeared from his life suddenly appeared, and Duanmu Rui didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he greeted him easily?Or are they strangers?

He stared blankly at him, he was still so big, but his complexion was a bit vicissitudes, not as handsome as five years ago, but more experienced, more calm, less impetuous, a peaceful atmosphere covered up his edges and corners, But Duanmu Rui could clearly feel his inner aura, which was even fiercer and more powerful than a few years ago.

He felt instantly enveloped by this familiar atmosphere, which he hadn't felt in a few years, and he still felt very solid, comfortable, more reliable, and wanted to rely on it.But the reality told him no, it was just breath, if he could leave for five years, he could leave for ten years.

He thought that after five years, he would feel unfamiliar with this breath and would not feel dependent, but it didn't seem to be the case. He knew that this mark should be stamped. flustered.

When the eyes of the two met, not only Duanmu Rui was flustered, but the Ninth Prince was also flustered.

The person who once made him think that he was no longer in this world suddenly got news, if he could accept the news, then he could see Rui Er with his own eyes immediately, but it made the Ninth Prince feel like retreating.

The previous thoughts come back again, I don't know what kind of reaction Duanmu Rui will have, refuse?Come up?or hate him...

but not
