"He likes me?"
Lian Suisui wiped the tea water on his face with a handkerchief, dumbfounded.
"You didn't see the look in his eyes that he wanted to kill me. Would he like me?"
Even Xiaoxiao is not sure.
"But King Cheng blushed at you just now."
"You're wrong. He's so thick-skinned. It's definitely not because I'm blushing. Maybe it's because of the heat."
Lian Xiao glanced out the window suspiciously. It was the coldest month of winter, and the snow on the road had not yet melted. How could it be hot?
But what the third sister says is whatever it is.
The storyteller outside was frothing at the mouth, and bursts of cheers came from the lobby at the highlight. Lian Xiao was fascinated by the story.
Lian Suisui trembled with goosebumps. He was not interested in the love story between the scholar and the lady. He opened the window facing the street and looked at the crowds of people coming and going on the street outside.
There was no sun in the gray sky, as if the weather had been like this since the winter months.
It's snowing again.
She reached out and caught a snowflake. There was a lot of snow this year.
The New Year atmosphere in Beijing is already very strong. I miss my parents in modern times all year long. They should be very sad. Her parents have taught many apprentices. Without her this year, her senior brothers and sisters will probably accompany their parents.
Lian Suisui was a little depressed.
The window next door was also opened, and Lian Suisui saw another annoying person.
When Sun Mingwei saw her, she didn't choke her like she did every time they met before. She seemed to be more honest recently.
"Hey, why are you looking down?"
Sun Mingwei's face was full of displeasure. Seeing that she didn't have many friends in this time and space, Lian Suisui asked a question.
Xiao Xuehua blocked the eyes of the two people, and Sun Mingwei's eyes were empty.
"I'm getting married. My husband's family is not in the capital. I'm afraid I won't be able to see him in the future. You must be happy."
When I was young, I would always care about small things. Sun Mingwei's father and Lian Suisui's father were sworn enemies. If they didn't deal with each other, the female relatives of the two families wouldn't deal with them either.
After talking about marriage, Sun Mingwei felt that it was boring to argue with Lian Suisui at all times as she had to stay away from the capital.
We will never see each other again, and the previous caress have become very special memories.
"Congratulations."
Lian Suisui said dryly.
"What am I happy about? It's not because I'm getting married..."
However, there is nothing fun about getting married, it is just being trapped in one cage in another.
"When will you get married?"
Sun Mingwei was younger than her and was getting married so soon. Even Suisui felt sorry for her when she thought of herself.
She didn't say anything bad. Sun Mingwei was a little surprised and closed the window with a chuckle.
Lian Suisui thought she didn't want to say it, so forget it.
She closed the window and sat back to warm herself by the fire.
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Tao opened the door and found it was Sun Mingwei.
"Miss Sun?"
Sun Mingwei came in unceremoniously, sat down next to Lian Suisui, and poured a cup of tea herself.
"My wedding is scheduled for the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. On Laba Festival, relatives and friends will come to add makeup. Do you want to come?"
Liansui pouted.
"You are about to marry out of the capital, and you have to collect wool from me before leaving. I don't owe you anything, so I won't go!"
Sun Mingwei laughed.
"mean!"
Lian Suisui felt that she was not familiar with her yet. Why was this person so thick-skinned?
"Lian Suisui, you are really different from before." Sun Mingwei looked at her, "Sometimes I wonder if you are a different person..."
Her gaze made Lian Suisui feel a little guilty.
"Actually, I haven't done many things against you. They are all trivial things. Don't worry about me."
Lian Suisui was not used to her sudden gender change.
"My mother said that after getting married, having more friends will provide you with a way out. Although you can't help me with anything, it doesn't matter. I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine."
Lian Suisui raised his glass and clinked it with her.
"Where are you going to marry?"
"Pingyang Xie family."
Lian Fangyu's hometown seems to be Pingyang.
"Then maybe we'll meet again."
She had nothing to say to Sun Mingwei. She sat quietly drinking tea for a while, and then the maid came to call Sun Mingwei back home.
"gone."
When he returned home in the evening, a layer of white had fallen on the ground, and Lian Xiaoxiao kept thinking about the unfinished storyteller.
"Third sister, do you think Zhang Niang in the story can stay with her sweetheart?"
Lian Suisui didn't listen carefully. The storyteller told a story about a daughter of a high-ranking official who fell in love with a poor scholar, and then the elders in the family broke up with each other. The official's daughter forced him to die, and was finally locked up in the attic. In addition, he was betrothed to someone else.
"There are several endings like this. Either the official lady makes an appointment with the scholar to die in love, or the scholar studies hard and becomes a high school scholar to propose marriage."
Lian Xiao stroked his chest and prayed.
"I hope it's the second one, where lovers eventually get married. The first one is a bit too tragic!"
There is another sentence that Lian Suisui didn't say. In reality, most of the endings are the first. If a man is deeply in love, he will die with the woman. If he meets someone who is timid and afraid of death, he can only be an official. The young lady is a ghost and full of resentment, while the scholar marries another man and becomes a successful man.
She's not pessimistic, isn't that the story in Chinese fiction stories...
It rained all night, and it was still raining the next morning. The snow on the ground was so thick that I couldn't go out.
"If this continues, people's houses will be crushed."
When he went to ask Mrs. Qin to be on time, even Fang Yu was there. He sighed and asked Mrs. Qin to help prepare two more pairs of boots and prepare to walk to the Yamen.
After sending him out of the mansion, Mrs. Qin gathered all the servants in the mansion to make arrangements for clearing the snow.
Lian Suisui was worried about Miaoshoutang and asked Xiao Tao to go and see the situation.
"Miss, there are suddenly many disaster victims in the city. Shopkeeper Ning said that he is going to start giving porridge tomorrow and has put up a sign for a free clinic. I hope you can come and take charge."
This is a good thing, and it will make her famous.
Even Sui Sui appreciates it.
"Okay, I'll tell mother and let's go out early tomorrow morning."
"Go and tell Fourth Sister again and ask her to go out with me tomorrow."
It rained all night again, and a woodshed in Lian Mansion collapsed. Fortunately, the woodshed was usually filled with sundries, and there were no casualties.
Mrs. Qin presided over the servants in each yard taking turns to clear the snow, and at the same time sent people to each house to greet them.
The Qin family, Yongding Bo Mansion, Shouchang Marquis Mansion, families in the capital who have contacts with the Lian family...
There was no time to clear the snow on the street outside, and it was up to their knees. Lian Suisui and Lian Xiaoxiao had no choice but to walk there.
Even Xiaoxiao had never done heavy work or traveled so many roads.
"Xiao Tao, go and help Fourth Sister."
Lian Sui was strong and strong, so walking for such a short distance was not a problem. Xiao Tao and Ye'er almost carried Lian Xiao Xiao to Miaoshou Hall.
Ning Er and Jiang Shi were clearing the snow at the door, Doctor Qian was sitting in the hall for free consultation, and the job of cooking and serving porridge fell on Doctor Wu.
Seeing that he was not very skilled, Lian Suisui walked over and took over the work he was doing.
"Fourth sister, please rest for a while, Xiaotao, come over and help me!"
There were not many people giving porridge on this street, and there were quite a few people queuing up. Even Xiaoxiao wanted to help, but her shoes and socks were soaked through and she was too tired to stand up.
"Miss, please rest for a while."
Lian Suisui added a handful of firewood, and the porridge in the pot was boiling. Some of the victims in the queue were so hungry that they couldn't bear it and fainted on the ground. There was a woman with two children. The woman and Xiaodian fainted. of that.
Doctor Wu ran over and picked up the woman and took her to the medicine hall. The older child wanted to pick up his younger brother, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, so after picking him up and walking two steps, they both fell together.
"I come!"
Lian Xiao ran to pick up the child, and Ye'er helped the older child to the medicine hall.
"How can I help?"
Doctor Wu took the woman's pulse.
"Go get two bowls of porridge."
