Heavy snow fell, Qionghua falling.

The heavy snow fell all over the sky even more tightly. Luo Ming rolled up his clothes and looked up at the sky. The snow was falling in clusters, and all he could see was a silvery white. There were no pedestrians on the street. What time is it now.

Luo Ming stomped his feet and brushed off the floating snow from his body.He has been standing in the snow for nearly three hours, and he no longer feels the cold, only numbness and tingling constantly invaded his limbs and bones, drowsiness gradually came, Luo Ming could only walk back and forth in the alley Well, if he really fell asleep, he would really freeze to death here.

There was only one family in the alley, and the vermilion lacquer gate was tightly closed, and Luo Ming was standing at the gate.It was extremely quiet in the snow, and all the streets and alleys could only hear the sound of Luo Ming stepping on the snow as he paced back and forth.

After standing for a long time, there was finally movement in the door, a creaking sound, a small side door was opened next to the door, and there was only a narrow slit in the side door, half of a face was exposed in the slit, the man was very impatient, Glancing outside the door, he gave Luo Ming a lesson, "What's the matter with you? Mr. Ma said he won't see you, and you still come every day. This is the fifth day. It's like a dog skin plaster. You can’t even expose it. Go away, don’t block the door, let people see what you say. You are going to freeze to death here, and we won’t file this lawsuit.”

After the man finished speaking, he shrank back, and regardless of what Luo Ming wanted to say, he closed the door with a bang, bolted it and locked it, and the sound of his footsteps gradually walking away could be heard from inside.

Luo Ming glanced at the sky again, it was not too early, it seemed that today was a waste of time, if he waited any longer, he would really freeze to death, he should go back to Jiang Nianbai's house first, and come back tomorrow.

As soon as he turned into the alley where Jiang's house was located, he saw Liuyan's thin figure standing at the entrance of the alley. He had been waiting for an unknown how long, his cheeks were flushed from the cold, and he kept breathing on his hands.

Luo Ming saw it from a distance, and felt that he had forgotten all his worries. He walked over quickly and said angrily, "Who told you to get up? Yan Junyu, didn't he let him look at you?"

"Young Master Yan has gone out. I'm already healed. After being bored in the house for so long, I want to go out and take a walk."

As Liu Yan was talking, she shook out the clothes she was covering in her arms and put them on Luo Ming.

Luo Ming was already numb from the cold, and he couldn't distinguish between hot and cold. He couldn't feel the warmth even with this cotton robe on his body, but the warmth in his heart was so strong that he couldn't melt it. Luo Ming smiled and watched Liu Yan tie the clothes and belts for him , rubbing his palms to warm his hands.

There is a charcoal brazier in the room, and as soon as you enter, you feel the heat blowing against your face.Luo Ming asked Liu Yan to bring back a copper basin of snow from the snow outside. He took off the clothes that had been soaked for a long time, grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it on his body. Basin of hot water to scrub.

After changing into dry clothes, shoes and socks, Luo Ming felt that he was alive again. He sat at the table and drank two sips of hot tea, and asked Liu Yan, "Where is Zhongqing?"

Liu Yan picked up the clothes that Luo Ming had changed, "New Year's Day is approaching, there are many things in the palace, and the Ministry of Rites is responsible for sacrifices and other things in the palace. This is the busiest time of the year. The weather is not good today, Mr. Will be back."

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yan still asked, "Master Ma, have you ever seen you?"

Luo Ming held his breath when he mentioned this matter, and sighed, "No, that stubborn old man won't even let me enter the gate. He is still a great scholar in the world, and he doesn't understand the way of being a teacher!"

Liu Yan comforted Luo Ming: "You can't blame him. Mr. Ma used to be the crown prince's grand teacher, and he was named a grand protector. He was also the teacher chosen by the emperor himself for the prince. In the third year of Tianqing, he enlightened the prince. Unfortunately, the prince at that time was not He likes to study, so he made Madam Ma cold-hearted, and begged the emperor to dismiss his Taishi and Taibao, and from now on, he will not interfere with the affairs of the court. I am afraid that he still remembers that the prince is stubborn, so he will not see you easily."

Luo Ming has visited Ma Shizhan's residence for five consecutive days. Except for being driven out of the gate after handing over the greeting card on the first day, the rest of the days could not even enter the gate. Luo Ming has not even met Ma Shizhan's face not seen.

This is also unavoidable, the past prince can be said to be full of bad deeds, if he wants to change the opinion of the court, Luo Ming can only lower his posture everywhere, at least he must establish the image of a waste prince who is willing to change his past and become good.

"Go tomorrow?" Liu Yan was a little worried.

Luo Ming took a sip of tea and said with a hearty smile: "Of course I want to go! If I want to go back to the court, I must go back aboveboard. Being sneaky is not my style!"

Liu Yan saw that Luo Ming's expression was not depressed, and her heart fell to the ground.His injury was just right, and he was barely able to walk down. Now he was holding on for a long time, and there were beads of sweat on his head. He quickly wiped it off with his sleeve, and wanted to give Luo Ming Zhang Luo something to eat.

Luo Ming held Liu Yan back, "Don't be busy, I've told you several times, I'm not your hard-to-serve master, you don't need to be so cautious in front of me, just sit when you should sit, and lie down when you're tired Just tell me what you want," he said with a smug smile, "simple things don't bother me, I'll make them for you to eat."

Liu Yan smiled lightly, this kind of life was beyond his imagination, and he didn't expect anything else, he just wanted to stay by Luo Ming's side like this, seeing him take care of him tenderly, he was very satisfied, but he didn't Know how long such days can last.

In the evening, Jiang Nianbai came back, had a hasty dinner, and came to ask Luo Ming about the progress of the day.

After listening to Luo Ming, Jiang Nianbai nodded and said: "It's expected. Ma Shizhan is a great scholar in the world, and his position in the scholarly circle is very important. Many people in the Qingliu school are his disciples. The second prince must get him. His support is not only to use his strength to return to court, but if you want Qingliu to be used by you in the future, Ma Shizhan will also be your greatest help."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Nianbai said with a smile: "So, Second Prince, you have to recognize this teacher no matter what. As for how to recognize you, whether Lord Ma will recognize you or not depends on your ability and ability."

Luo Ming did not show weakness, and replied: "I will not disappoint Zhongqing. Three visits to Maolu, Chengmen Lixue, Luo Ming has a lot of sincerity, and will definitely make Master Ma change his mind."

The two fought for a few words, and Yan Junyu came back from the outside and shouted, "Young master is freezing to death."

When he came in, he nestled in the couch, shivering into a ball wrapped in a fox fur cloak.

Luo Ming poured him tea, "You ran outside all day because you were afraid of the cold? What's so important?"

Yan Junyu didn't answer, holding the bowl of hot tea, he asked Luo Ming if he had been shut down again today.

Jiang Nianbai couldn't wait any longer, and said in a few sentences that Luo Ming had been freezing outside the Ma Mansion for a whole day.

Yan Junyu laughed loudly when he heard this, and the two of them got together, talking to each other, laughing about Luo Ming's miserable appearance.

Luo Ming was not annoyed either, he leaned against the table and saw the two people across from him laughing to and fro, he couldn't help laughing too.

Liu Yan has been standing by the side, watching the excitement of the two people talking, with a little panic on his face, looking at Luo Ming's expression anxiously.

Luo Ming pulled him to sit down and asked him if he was tired, if the weather changed today, and if there was any change in his wound.

Listening to Luo Ming's gentle questions, Liu Yan's heart gradually settled down, and she answered them one by one, and boldly said a little bit about his views on Ma Shizhan.

"I used to accompany the prince to study when I was young, and I had a few encounters with Mr. Ma. I remember that he liked the cloud cakes and mung bean cakes of 'Dexinzhai' very much. Why don't you buy some and take them with you when you give them greeting cards? ,Maybe will……"

Liu Yan hurriedly stopped, and said in a hurry: "I'm talking nonsense, don't listen to me, it's been a few years, maybe I remembered it wrong, don't listen to me, I've missed your business."

Luo Ming patted Liu Yan's hand reassuringly, and said with a smile, "Just listen to you, I'll buy Yunpian Cake tomorrow."

Liu Yan felt uneasy, he wanted to help Luo Ming, but he couldn't do anything, he searched his brain all day, only thinking about these unimportant things.He just said it quickly, and he immediately felt that it was inappropriate. He was afraid that what he said or did wrong would make Luo Ming despise him.

Luo Ming sighed inwardly, thinking to himself that he hadn't done anything terrible, why Liu Yan was not as comfortable as before when he saw him now, he always looked frightened, if he knew that he would still have feelings for him With other thoughts, I don't know how to be scared.

There was nothing to say all night, Luo Ming got up the next day, left Jiang Nianbai's house, went to "Dexin Zhai" first, bought two packs of snacks, and then walked slowly to Ma Shizhan's house.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. It took a long time for someone to come out. When he opened the door and saw Luo Ming, he said angrily, "Why is it you again? Because you and I have been scolded by the adults a few times, I won't inform you today. Let's go, this is sixth Damn it, Lord Ma won't see you!"

Luo Ming took out a silver key from his pocket, and handed it to the person who opened the door, "Brother, please, I have something important to see your lord, please bear with me a bit, and pass it on to me."

The man looked at the silver locket in his hand, hesitated and said: "Lord Ma has been very tempered these days, and he scolds everyone when he sees him. I'm rushing in now, isn't it just to ask for scolding?"

Luo Ming hastily handed over another silver lock, and the man weighed the two silver locks in his hands before he said with a smile, "Forget it, seeing how long you've been here, it's considered sincere, so I'll help you get through again. Pass it on."

Luo Ming quickly thanked him, and handed the two packs of snacks and greeting stickers to the man.

After waiting for an hour, the human bun beat the dog and never looked back. The gate of the Ma Mansion was still tightly closed, and no one came out to take care of Luo Ming.

Today came again in vain.

Somewhat discouraged, Luo Ming thought about waiting for half a day, and if no one came out, he would come back tomorrow.

With nothing to do, Luo Ming just looked at the scenery on this street, the alley was facing the street, the snow had just stopped during the day, and now there were more and more pedestrians, all in a hurry, stepping on the snow to get to work livelihood.Luo Ming is a little envious. Although these people have no food and clothing and are busy all day, they live without so many worries, and don't have to worry about their lives all the time.He and Liu Yan probably would never live such a simple life for the rest of their lives.

About an hour later, the gate suddenly opened, and the two vermilion lacquered gates opened simultaneously. A man walked out slowly, about fifty years old, wearing a gray cotton robe. He looked very respectful and looked out the door. Luo Ming saluted deeply, "Please come in with the young master and this old slave."

Luo Ming was overjoyed. After waiting for six days, he finally passed the threshold.

After straightening his clothes, Luo Ming smiled politely, "Dare to ask the old man to lead the way."

Seeing this, the old man became more respectful, with a faint smile on his face, he stepped aside and led Luo Ming into the mansion himself.
