"Xiao Tao, let's go to the second floor and take a look!"
Lian Suisui opened the curtain, and the turbid air rushed in instantly. The smell of fireworks emitted by inferior charcoal was mixed with the inexplicable smell of feet, as well as the smell of flatbread, barbecue, and the sweat of a lazy man who hadn't showered in a year.
Many malicious glances fell on her.
A beautiful girl suddenly burst into the crowded teahouse, and the hall was quiet for a moment.
"Miss, let's go back!"
Xiao Tao was a little scared. A man with a scar on his face whistled at the two of them, and Lian Suisui glared at them.
"What are you looking at? If you look at it again, your eyes will be gouged out!"
The man didn't care at all about her threats, but became bolder.
"You're so delicious little girl! Do you want to play with my brother?"
Lian Suisui ignored him, but he actually caught up and pulled Lian Suisui's arm.
"Whose girl are you from? It's better to choose a different day. Why don't I come with you to visit my future father-in-law today? Haha!"
Lian Suisui took out the silver needle before his dirty hands reached out and poked him in the eye.
The man screamed and rolled down the stairs. Lian Suisui saw the blood on his back and raised his head to the second floor, where Shuying stood expressionless.
Lian Suisui went up to the second floor and entered the private room. Sure enough, she saw Chu Zhiyi smiling innocently at her.
"I didn't know that the third lady would go upstairs, which frightened the third lady."
Lian Suisui tapped the palm of his hand with a stick, and suddenly remembered why he felt that this scene was familiar. Isn't this the basic plot between Jin Lian and Brother Qing...
Why, he wants to learn Golden Lotus?
Lian Suisui deliberately kept a straight face.
"Uncle Emperor, you'd better be careful. Fortunately, I was riding in a carriage, otherwise this stick wouldn't have hit me on the head? Throwing objects from high altitude is a serious crime!"
Chu Zhiyi nodded cooperatively, wondering where she learned the words.
Lian Suisui sat down comfortably.
"Why do you feel like your uncle is avoiding me?"
Since returning to Beijing, she has not seen him again, has not even heard from him, and did not respond to the code in the yard.
"Tsk, you really should throw it away after using it!"
Chu Zhiyi felt even more aggrieved.
"How could Suisui say that to me...I'm not afraid that you don't want to have anything to do with me."
He lowered his head at the right moment, looking pitiful.
Lian Suisui was a little annoyed. She did think about keeping a distance from him after returning to Beijing, but she never thought that he would disappear so suddenly without even having time to say goodbye.
He is also in a wheelchair.
"Your legs aren't feeling better yet?"
He could stand up and walk two steps when he was in the other hospital. Could it be that he was tired again after returning to Beijing?
"Let me help you take a look!"
"Need not……"
Before Suisui even touched him, he stood up and took a few steps back. Although his walking posture was awkward, he recovered well.
"Don't worry, I will help you hide it."
He was in a difficult situation. If he had recovered from his injury a few years ago, he might have been able to compete for that position. The throne of the emperor was already firmly established, and he did not need a strong and healthy person who had the ability to serve him in the military. Threatening brother.
Lian Suisui poured a cup of tea by himself.
"The tea here is rough, why did the emperor fall in love with this place?"
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Lian Suisui, who is used to drinking good tea, only tasted it and never touched the cup of tea again.
"I'm bored in the palace, so I came out to enjoy the snow."
The snow curtain outside the window shrouds everything in white.
"It's the only time of year that makes the world feel less dirty to me."
The cold look he looked out the window pierced Lian Suisui's heart at that moment, but he pretended not to care and looked back at her with hope in his eyes.
Even when Suisui calmed down, she didn't understand the situation in the court, nor did she understand his forbearance and dormancy. She just wanted to practice medicine well and be a healer.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier. If we don't go on, it will be difficult to walk on the road."
Lian Suisui walked to the door and looked back at him. He was still standing in front of the window.
"Thank you for taking action just now."
The Lian family's carriage disappeared into the wind and snow. Chu Zhiyi closed the window and picked up the wooden stick she placed on the table.
"It's not enough to fan the flames any further."
A figure behind the screen answered yes.
…
The snow in Beijing showed no sign of stopping. The next morning, the snow in the courtyard was up to my knees.
"The capital has never seen such heavy snow!"
Xiao Tao muttered, "At least as long as I am, I have never seen snow like this!"
There were several charcoal basins in the room, and the servants were clearing the snow in the yard. Lian Suisui put on his cloak and was about to go to greet Mrs. Qin. On the way, he met the sneaky Lian Jialiang who came in from a side door, as if he was in the house. Stayed out all night.
"Brother, are you staying up all night?"
Lian Jialiang was startled, caressing his chest and complained: "Third sister, you did it so early in the morning and almost scared me to death?"
Lian Suisui glanced outside the door and asked suspiciously, "What did eldest brother do last night?"
"Nothing done."
Lian Suisui intuitively felt that something was wrong with him.
"Brother is back just in time. I want to pay my respects to my mother. Let's go together!"
"I'm feeling a little unwell, and I'm afraid that my mother will be sick. I'll go pay my respects to my mother when I get better!"
Lian Jialiang ran away without even catching up with Sui Suizhui, and went to pay respects to Mrs. Qin full of suspicion.
"Sister Si Xiaoping usually doesn't even dare to go out of the courtyard. Last night, everything was normal before she went to bed! This morning, when Ye'er went in to call for help, she realized that the fourth miss was not in the room at all! The fourth miss is timid, and her concubine is in the house. I searched around, but it snowed yesterday, and the ground in the yard was clean, without a single footprint. The person just disappeared out of thin air..."
"Madam, I'm guilty! I didn't take good care of the Fourth Miss! Ugh... I just ask Madam to find the Fourth Miss. Even if I sell my concubine to the Fourth Miss to atone for my concubine, I won't complain!"
"Please madam!"
In Mrs. Qin's yard, Mrs. Liu knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears.
Even Suisui paused before crossing the threshold. Did she come at the wrong time?
Mrs. Qin frowned, looked up and saw Lian Suisui, and asked, "Suisui, have you seen Xiaoxiao?"
"What happened?" Lian Suisui shook his head, "Mom, you also know that I haven't been at home recently, and what you taught me was to come back to my fourth sister at night to get my notes. Last night, Xiaotao went to my aunt's yard. "
"We'll search the house first. If we can't find anyone, we'll report it to the official."
"You can't report to the official!"
Lian Xiaoxiao's weak voice came from outside the door.
"Fourth Miss, where have you gone?" Mrs. Liu cried and ran over to hold Lian Xiao's hand, "Why are your hands so cold? Your face doesn't look good. Do you have a fever?"
Lian Xiaoxiao lowered her head and Mrs. Liu put her palm on her forehead. She didn't say anything and just cried. Mrs. Liu started to cry anxiously.
Lian Suisui looked over and saw that the little girl's clothes were a bit messy, with blood stains on some places...
She raised her head and exchanged a look with Qin. Qin obviously saw it and scolded: "Okay, the person has been found. What do you look like crying!"
Madam Liu held back her tears awkwardly, not daring to raise her head to look at Madam Qin for fear of offending Madam Qin.
"I'll take Miss Fourth back now!"
"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Qin stopped the mother and daughter, "You go back first, Miss Fourth will stay here. I have something to ask her."
Lian Xiao shivered a little, fearing that he would harm his aunt, so he stretched out his hand to push her.
"It's okay, my aunt will go back first."
Aunt Liu was worried, but she was timid and did not dare to challenge Mr. Qin, so she swallowed her worries.
