Section 3: Survival in a desperate situation

It wasn't until Cui Lu came out of the courtyard that Su Shi sat down.

I originally wanted to have a house, at least I still have a home, I can shelter from the wind and rain and feel steady. Who would have thought that a stone would fall from the sky and completely smash her. My father and mother are gone, the house is gone, and I will really be homeless in the future.

There is no need to go out to buy paper and pencils, Su Shi just sat in the courtyard, from the rising sun, to the high wind and warm wind, to the sunset, and then to the moonlight. She stayed for a whole day, and finally thought of a way out.

Cui Lu's words of "being her own daughter", she didn't believe it at all.

If you really have that kindness, why don't you mention it when your parents pass away? Now I am in a hurry to get back to the house, and I don't linger at all. Seeing that her eyes were always evasive, she couldn't pretend to be a little pity. Such a person thinks she is a fool, and she can only listen to what she says casually. If she really went to the door, I was afraid that she would have to be swept away in a few days, and she would have to retreat 10,000 steps, even if Cui Fu really could tolerate her, she would not be able to live the days of receiving charity.

Without relatives and no reason, Cui Mansion can't go, so where else can he go?

Su Shi passed the figures of many people in front of him, and at this time, a corner of the lake's blue robe was torn out from the chaotic images, and then what was pulled out was a face with concern, and then a name that was quite gentle in his mouth: "Song Chen".

In fact, this is Su Shi's entire impression of Li Songchen. Compared with his appearance, the young man's soft temperament was easier for her to remember.

It's not home anymore. It's early to go, and it's late to go, so it's better to pack up and look for a future the next day.

Su Shi slept on the bed with such an intention. I slept a little restless this night.

It seems that there is a bit of a rush, and whether it is a very reliable decision or not, but now there is no other way. I can only go to the Li Mansion to ask, the Li Mansion is known for its benevolence in the township, and Li Yuanwai and his wife are also very good at getting along with each other, and being Li Songchen's companion must not make it too difficult for him.

When he woke up, Ah Shi began to pack his bags. Father's four treasures in the study, mother's sewing purse, with a bed, plus a few sets of clothes. Other than that, looking around, there is nothing else to bring with you at home.

After Ah Shi freshened up, he went straight to the Li Mansion, first went to ask for a letter, and planned to get something after it was done there. After a while, she was standing at the door of the Li Mansion.

In the end, Master Li entered the imperial examination, only to see the two Zhu doors are very magnificent, the lintel is written in cursive with "Tranquility and Far-reaching", and the two stone lions are also sitting there majestically. Looking inside, you can vaguely see the cornices and corners, and the Guidian Painting Hall is bathed in the early morning light, and it feels more graceful and magnificent, and the owner's charm is extraordinary.

Ah Shi stepped forward and explained his intentions. Zhang Chun at the door tilted his head to look at the sun, squinted his eyes and said, "Ouch, it's still early." The lord is busy with business these days, and the lights were only turned off yesterday at the third watch, but I'm afraid it hasn't gotten up yet. Even if I do, the door of the inner courtyard is locked, and I won't be able to get in at this time. Or do you wait? ”

When Su Shi saw it, he had no other way but to walk down the steps and go around to the mouth of the alley next to him. At this time, a few sparrows chirped on the branches overhead, and there were one or two songs of gnats, which was nothing on weekdays, but it made Su Shi sound even more irritated now. She picked up a branch and threw it at her feet and stepped on it, and her whole heart seemed to be fried over and over again in oil, which made her mouth dry and she tremble.

Just when Su Shi felt that he had to wait very hard, Zhang Chun beckoned, "Sister-in-law Yun, let's go in."

A woman in a green cloth dress came out of the side door and led Su Shi inside. It's a big house with three entrances and three exits. Directly facing the door is a shadow wall with reliefs. On the blue-gray brick wall is a lush pine tree, next to which is written "Smell the pine waves through the forest, welcome guests with a smile". The style of painting is beautiful, but there is no coloring, but it gives people a very stable and generous feeling.

Ah Shi thought that there should be a few clusters of tall roofs inside, but he didn't expect that when he bypassed the shadow wall, the first thing he saw was a cluster of emblem-style pink walls and tiles. I saw a few bushes of green bamboos, and several exquisite courtyards came into view. A few white jasmine flowers open by the carved window, swaying slightly in the wind.

Directly in front of the main hall of the Li Mansion, there is no fat powder, surrounded by the surrounding houses, but it is also full of the masculine style of the Yongzhou territory, with very high windows, simple and majestic, quite a bit like Li Heshan A man with a group of wives and concubines. The servants were sweeping, and in the distance they could see a cursive couplet, "Poetry and books have been passed down for a long time, and the cultivation and reading have been long", and a set of red pear tables and chairs, and a celadon vase with hibiscus in full bloom on the high stool.

Sister-in-law Yun was about forty years old, her steps were very tight, and she kept taking Su Shi through the Moon Gate, sweeping through several courtyards, sliding through several corridors, and finally came to the deepest part of the Li Mansion - a cluster of three-story buildings connected to a towering pavilion. On the top of the main entrance hangs the word "Zhegui", which is powerful and powerful.

This place can be described as standing out in the entire Li Mansion, the tallest, and it may be what Ah Shi saw outside.

Sister-in-law Yun stopped and turned around, and Su Shi looked at her carefully for the first time: a simple bun was tied at the back of her head, and a hollow silver hairpin was inserted on it, and a few plum blossoms were shallowly carved on the hairpin. With a pair of long eyes and two thick eyebrows, she is a good-looking woman, but her face is too cold, and her lips are pursed, which really adds a bit of old appearance to this face. Moderate figure, clean dress, embroidered willow leaves are also vivid, and there is no roughness on the hands.

It looks like a subordinate, but it doesn't look like a subordinate.

Su Shi didn't dare to be presumptuous, and he didn't look at it much, just waiting for the next sentence. Sister-in-law Yun didn't look at people as usual, but said, "You wait here for a while, I'll tell you." After that, he pushed the door and entered, and a cyan figure disappeared behind the door.

At this time, the sun was rising, and Su Shi turned her head to look, the light was not strong, but it also made her squint. When the wind blows, I don't know where the fragrance of flowers is brought, which makes people rejoice.

Then the door opened, and Sister-in-law Yun came out and said to her, "Go in."

Su Shi raised her feet to leave, but Sister-in-law Yun stood in front of her, looked at her with her eyes, and said, "Do you want to go in?" Su Shi didn't understand, and he didn't know what he meant. Then she pondered and said slowly, "Yes, I don't have anywhere else." So, Sister-in-law Yun's eyes were always breezy and calm, and something finally floated in her eyes, which was fleeting - Su Shi didn't grasp it, but immediately it was like the ancient well that had never been there, and there were no waves.

Later, when Su Shi dreamed back at midnight, when he was happy to enmity and revenge, and when he was bloodthirsty with a knife, he thought more than once that if he had doubts at that time, and was a little careful and vigilant, then would the later qiē not happen? I won't become what I am now?

It's a pity that no one has front and back eyes, and Su Shi is the same, these assumptions are assumptions in the end.

The piles and piles she encounters now are destiny and personnel. One day the truth will come out, not to mention, she is really not far from the truth.
