"However, even if we obey, we will still get hurt."
The boy had become numb to the pain.
No matter how much he asked, he couldn't find out anything. He only knew that the boy's name was Xiaowei. He couldn't pronounce the specific word because he couldn't read.
Asked who caused the injuries on his body, he couldn't tell.
Yishantang was proposed by the current emperor in order to win over the people before he ascended the throne. Now it is under the name of the imperial court and is temporarily managed by the Ministry of Rites. With the official position of Lian Fangyu, he has the right to intervene.
But will he help with things that are not beneficial and can easily offend people?
Lian Sui Sui is not sure.
There used to be Yishantang, but it was always privately organized. The adopted orphans would end up being sold, the clever ones to be slaves, and the good-looking ones to the Qinlou Chu Hall.
And it is unclear whether it was an adopted orphan or a kidnapped child. Later, it was suppressed by the court, and Yishantang could not continue to operate. It was not until the current emperor mentioned it again that it became a public welfare court institution.
Forget it, she would first find a way to go to Yishan Hall to inquire about it, and then test Lian Fangyu's attitude later.
"Shopkeeper Ning, can you do me a favor?"
Ning Er chopped a lot of firewood and piled it in the woodshed, and wiped the sweat with a cloth.
"My boss girl, I just give you instructions when it's useful."
"Can you help me find out about Yishantang?"
If the orphans adopted by Yishantang are always injured, they will definitely ask a doctor, and they will definitely not ask a doctor from a big pharmacy. Most of them will choose a small drugstore like their Miaoshou Tang, which sounds like it should be easy to find.
Listening to her explanation of the situation, Ning Er also felt that the stewards of Yishantang were inhumane. Xiaowei dumped people in mass graves before they were dead. This was because he had escaped from his own death, and he happened to be handing out cotton-padded clothes to the government. Hot porridge, this is how I survived, otherwise I would have died of cold and starvation even if I didn't die of illness!
"Okay, leave this matter to me. If there is news, I will send someone to deliver a message to you."
In the twelfth lunar month, there were many social events at home, so Lian Suisui could not come to Miaoshou Hall every day, so he told Ning Er to take good care of Xiaowei.
"My dear boss, don't worry."
Neji patted his chest and assured her.
On the morning of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Qin ordered the kitchen to cook Laba porridge and deliver it to various courtyards. The red beans cooked overnight were soft and delicious. Lian Suisui drank two bowls of porridge and asked Xiao Tao to help prepare a pair of hairpins before going out. Sun Mingwei's house next door.
"Third sister, are you really going to add makeup to Sun Mingwei?"
Lian Xiaoxiao still remembers that when Weng Ling'er bullied them, Sun Mingwei was her follower. How could someone change things just because they said they had changed?
"You want to come with me?"
Lian Xiaoxiao waved his hand.
"I dont go."
Even Suisui didn't embarrass her and saw that she picked up the embroidery needle again.
"You have to rest for a while after embroidering flowers. Don't wear out your eyes. I'm leaving."
She and Sun Mingwei are neither friends nor rivals. It doesn't matter whether they are good friends or not. She just feels pitiful. She feels pitiful for women in this era. They marry blindly and dumb. Once they get married, they have to have children and serve their parents-in-law...
She came to Sun Mingwei's house in a sad mood, but the person involved was not as pessimistic as she was.
"The Xie family is a big family in Pingyang, and I am not marrying the eldest son of the eldest son. Naturally, they do not expect me to be a clan wife. There are many people from the second and second eldest families of the Xie family who are officials in the government, and although the third eldest brother is a bit weaker, Son, but I have the most shops and Zhuangzi under my name. When I got married, I had a group of servants and maids to serve me, which is much better than now!"
Sun Mingwei glanced at the golden hairpin given by Lian Suisui with disgust.
"When the time comes, I can buy a complete set of Jintou Noodles if I want."
It turns out that I still remember the last grudge.
"I spent a lot of gold on this pair of hairpins. If you dislike me, why don't you give them away?"
Lian Suisui understood why the original owner had stopped dealing with her. With her character, she was really unlovable.
"No, can you come and add makeup to me regardless of past grudges? How can I be so stingy? Of course I will accept the makeup you gave me!"
Lian Suisui: "..."
"Okay, then I wish you and Mr. Xie a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Getting married is a happy event, so Lian Suisui didn't care about her. Sun Mingwei smiled and said, "If you can't get married later, I can help you find someone among the Xie brothers."
"Stop it!"
What kind of scary topic is this? Lian Suisui stood up and said, "Now that the gift has been given, it's time for me to leave."
"Thank you."
Sun Mingwei whispered behind her, "Thank you for coming to add makeup to me today."
The Sun Mansion was about to hold a happy event. Their daughter was getting married, and the house was decorated very festively. The servants carried red silk and hung it on the door frame. Lian Suisui walked out of the door, looked back, and pursed his lips.
The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is a good time to get married.
Firecrackers went off in the alley early in the morning, and the wedding team carried a bright red sedan and stopped at the door of Sun's house early.
The servants of the house were lying at the door watching the fun. Lian Suisui and Lian Xiaoxiao were crowded among the maids. They were all girls of the same age as Hua. It was hard to recognize them for a while.
"Third sister, why don't you think the Xie family opens their eyes to Sun Mingwei?"
Lian Xiaoxiao was left in the shadow of Sun Mingwei and was still worried that the Xie family would marry a fierce woman.
Lian Sui couldn't laugh or cry.
"Maybe the Xie family is not a good family? If the second young master Xie has a good reputation, can the Xie family come all the way from the capital to negotiate a marriage for him?"
After saying this, Lian Xiaoxiao understood, stopped talking and focused on watching the excitement outside.
Lian Suisui just said it casually, but it was really not good to say sarcastic words behind someone's back during their wedding. She quietly sighed. People can't have bad thoughts, otherwise they will easily be unlucky.
Just like Sun Mingwei, if she hadn't bullied Lian Xiaoxiao with Weng Ling'er, how would she have been talked about behind her back on her wedding day?
This logic is perfect!
They came out too late and did not see the groom. When the auspicious moment came, Xi Po carried the bride on her back and sat on the sedan chair, and the welcoming team finally returned.
The dazzling boxes passed by... and everyone finally saw the handsome groom, dressed in festive clothes and riding a tall horse.
"The groom is as handsome as Pan An. Miss Sun is so lucky!"
The betrothal gift given by the Xie family was very generous. In comparison, Sun Mingwei's dowry was a bit shabby. The explanation given by the Sun family was that Pingyang was too far away and the dowry had been shipped long before the wedding, so that everyone looked good.
"Okay, let's go back after reading."
Lian Suisui sighed, "I want to go to Miaoshou Hall to visit Xiaowei. Can Fourth Sister go with us?"
Lian Xiaoxiao nodded.
"go!"
Sun Mingwei's marriage was just an episode in other people's lives. When the two sisters arrived at Miaoshou Hall, Xiaowei was helping Qianhao make medicine. The two of them were about the same size. Xiaowei was squatting on the ground wearing Qianhao's cotton-padded coat, with a hat on his head. Felt hat, like two potatoes.
"Three sisters and four sisters!"
Qian Hao shouted obediently, and Xiao Wei also stood up and called Lian Suisui third sister.
Lian Suisui took out two candies and gave them one each.
"Are your injuries feeling better?"
The scabs on Xiaowei's skin are black and hideous, but his spirits are much better.
"I'm much better and can work."
In comparison, Xiaowei is a bit too obedient.
Lian Suisui rubbed the top of his head.
"Well, just help Qian Hao make the medicine. I'll go find Shopkeeper Ning."
I don’t know how the information that shopkeeper Ning inquired about went.
Ning Er was still chopping firewood, as if he was venting something depressed in his heart on the wood. He split the wood into several halves with a few clicks.
"My lady boss, it's not easy for you to interfere in Yishantang's affairs."
