Su Mingshan sat up and said, "Invite them in!"
I saw Li Yuan and Cai Wei coming in with their hands full of things.
Seeing their posture, Su Mingshan knew what they were going to do.
She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, but said: "We don't need to pay attention to those empty things, just kneel down and hand over a cup of tea!"
As soon as Li Yuan put down her things, she saw her sitting upright by the kang, and knew that she was waiting for Caiwei to salute.
Although Su Jin on the side was depressed, she also knew that as long as the lady did not marry her off, she would not neglect her own work.
Perhaps if she behaves well, the young lady might give up the idea of marrying her off.
No, she was very discerning and quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Caiwei.
When Caiwei was on the road, her mother warned her.
She did not accept the tea immediately. Instead, she held the apprenticeship letter written by her mother just recently and knelt down twice and kowtowed six times.
This was the first time Su Mingshan had accepted an apprentice, even if it was just to learn embroidery, it was enough to make her excited for a long time.
If the other party is a stupid person, she may not react like this at this time.
But this is Li Yuan's child, and she knows that this girl is smart and precocious.
As she watched her salute and then hold up the apprenticeship invitation with both hands, her excitement gradually calmed down.
Caiwei took the tea from Su Jin and served Su Mingshan with steady hands.
Su Mingshan took a sip meaningfully, then looked at Caiwei and said, "You are my first disciple in this life, and probably the only one. I don't ask much from you, as long as you remember the purpose of becoming a disciple." , just stick to your heart from now on!"
Caiwei knelt upright and listened to the instruction. After hearing the words, she only had one request, and she responded crisply: "Yes, I would like to listen to the master's teachings!"
Li Yuan also handed over the things she brought and said by the way: "Miss Su, it's hard to find celery at this time. Do you think I can use green vegetables instead? Also, this pastry was brought back from my hometown. , you can keep it for the night. Starting tomorrow, three meals a day will be prepared and delivered by me."
Su Mingshan was in a very good mood at the moment. She helped Caiwei up, then took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Caiwei.
At the same time, he said to Li Yuan: "With the current conditions, your apprenticeship ceremony is not complete, and I am also unable to do it this time, so neither of us can take it seriously. Caiwei is a smart girl, and it is also your recognition of me that you want her to become my apprentice." . In this case, Sister Li can just call me Mingshan or Shanshan from now on. Miss Su, Miss Su, is too polite."
Li Yuan liked her generous personality and smiled when she heard this: "You call me Sister Li, how about I call you Sister Su?"
Su Mingshan felt that Sister Su was more cordial than Mingshan, so she readily agreed.
"That's great! By the way, Sister Li, how about letting Caiwei stay here tonight?"
Li Yuan looked at Caiwei and saw that the little girl was thoughtful, then turned her head and nodded to herself, and then she happily agreed.
"That's fine!"
From that day on, Caiwei learned embroidery from Su Mingshan.
No, it’s not just about learning embroidery.
I don't know if Su Mingshan has nothing to do, or if she is particularly interested in this only disciple.
From that day on, she not only taught Caiwei reading, literacy, painting, and even rules and abacus, etc., she would teach her a little bit here and a little bit there as long as she thought of it.
In short, it is not particularly boring and makes the little girl extremely happy to learn every day.
Li Miao also benefited a lot.
Of course, Qingsha, who was only three years old, did not learn to needle and thread, but she was influenced by it and her temperament changed a lot.
The snow in Liuyun County has never stopped.
There is only the difference between blizzard, heavy snow and light snow.
People in Liuyun County are either clearing snow, cleaning roads, or piling snow every day.
At this time, they all felt grateful to the county magistrate for his wisdom.
If he hadn't asked people to stock up on food in advance, consolidate the houses, stock up on firewood and charcoal, and stock up on cold medicine and other medicines in every village, street and alley, now they don't know how miserable the situation would have been.
Mr. Chen is a person who works according to rules.
He was afraid that if merchants contributed money and effort, the Yamen would delay fulfilling its previous promises while gaining a good reputation, which would cause those people to have thoughts about the Yamen.
Regardless of whether ordinary people would see it or not, a red list was posted outside the government office.
It says what mansion, how much medicine, how much food or how much money to donate.
When the list was posted, a government official was sent to the mansion to beat the gong and notify.
He also promised that when the snowstorm and cold wave pass, when the monument will be erected at the gate of the county town, the heads of each mansion will have smiles on their faces.
As the twelfth lunar month entered in the blink of an eye, Su Mingshan gradually became anxious.
It's been long enough since she left. If she doesn't go back, she might not be able to go back for years.
In addition, at the end of the year, there are a lot of things going on in the government. The account books of various shops need to be checked, the managers and shopkeepers below need to pay dividends, and every government has to give out annual gifts.
Even the government offices have to be managed.
Now that she is stuck here, what should she do?
Li Yuan, who had just figured out rice noodles in the past two days, came over to deliver the meal. Seeing her frowning and her eyes full of sadness, she felt guilty.
"Sister Su, why don't I ask Junzi to go to the escort agency in person and ask a few more people to take you back. You have to blame me. If I hadn't asked you to go back a few days later, you wouldn't be so sleepy now. At this."
Su Mingshan shook her head: "I don't blame you. After all, Sister Li, you didn't know it would snow so early and last for so long. Besides, you also said at that time that after I noticed that the situation was wrong, I should put myself first. If you leave, just leave. I want to keep it myself, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Li Yuan understood what was going on. How could she stay in such a good mood? After all, it was not for her sake.
Hearing this, she felt even more guilty!
After all, she knew how long it would snow for, but her prediction was wrong, thinking that it would start to fall on the 16th, and when it first started, the snow was not that heavy.
According to her own prediction, she would leave on the ninth day of the lunar month, arrive in Fucheng on the morning of the eleventh day, and go back and forth before the twelve city gates. She could arrive at the latest on the fifteenth morning.
Master and servant Su Mingshan can rush back at 15 p.m., and they will not be able to go back to the capital city until 18 p.m.
According to the description in the book, the most severe snow disaster was centered in Liuyun County, so it should not be that serious outside, so it was inferred that the amount of snow was not that heavy.
Who knows, it was a miscalculation.
She relied too much on that book, and Wang Can relied too much on the memories of his previous life.
Now that the plot has gone completely awry, she is increasingly confused about the drought in the coming year.
In the book, it rains very little after the beginning of spring, and all it rains is drizzle.
She was afraid that there would not be a drop of rain and the drought would last for half a year. Then the temperature would be unusually high in the summer. Just like modern news reports, the temperature in a certain country during the summer was as high as 70 degrees Celsius.
Not to mention that many people died from the sun, and ordinary people did not dare to go out during the day!
It’s just that modern times have high technology, so we don’t have to worry about water shortages at all.
In this era, once there is a shortage of water, it is really a shortage, and there is no way to get it from other places.
