In the world, the cold town inn, after a night of strong winds and blizzards, finally died down in the early morning, but left a colder breath to continue to occupy people's breath, so that when the long-lost sun shines, there is no change in temperature at all, but let the people who have to get up to do things in the bed for a long time complain silently:

It's so cold!

Wang Quan, who had been tossing and turning all night, finally got up and looked at the two people on the bed:

Su Yu was still lying flat, with a strand of hair hanging down on her cheeks, as if she hadn't moved her body all night, while Qi's mother straddled Su Yu's shoulder with one hand and hugged her, but her face was buried in Su Yu's shoulder blade, and she was sleeping soundly.

Wang Quan carefully observed Su Yu's face again, well, it seems that it is not so pale?

He tried it on Su Yu's head with the back of his hand, and it was not as bad as yesterday's burn, and he was a little relieved, and when he was about to turn his head to clean up, he suddenly saw Su Yu's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, looking directly into Wang Quan's eyes, and suddenly blinked and smiled, Wang Quan was stunned.

"Morning."

"Uhhhh Early. ”

Wang Quan didn't turn his face away, but he was still reminiscing about the rare playful color in Su Yu's smile just now:

The mysterious woman, what is she tossing so for?

After a few people had breakfast, Qi's mother asked the shopkeeper to bring a huge kettle to boil on the stove cover outside, but she took out a bag of good tea leaves from her bag and grabbed a few handfuls in the teapot.

Su Yu leaned on the quilt, although his face was not as haggard as he was when he first saw him yesterday, his lips were still white, and his expression was shriveled.

Qi's mother saw that she drank a sip too hot, so she took it and put it on the machine next to the bed, and returned to the table to make a cup for Wang Quan, and greeted Wang Quan, who was standing in front of the window and watching the snow scene, was careful that the tea was cold, and saw that Wang Quan responded, so she also made a big cup for herself, and carefully hugged her hands on the bed, but put the teacup between her legs and hugged it to keep warm, looked up at Su Yu, and asked slowly:

"What's wrong with you? What about the Flower Dance Workshop? ”

Su Yu sighed for a long time before he said:

"The Flower Dance Workshop has been taken!"

"Huh?? Who is so daring? Even Zhang Ge's old people dare to provoke? ”

Qi's mother is a little unbelievable, the backstage of Suyu is Zhang Ge Lao, this is an open secret, although Zhang Ge Lao has not paid much attention to the government, but he has a very good relationship with the prince, and ordinary people can easily provoke him.

Su Yu replied softly:

"How can a semi-retired scholar with no real power have the power to protect a friend who lacks it when power comes? Do you still remember Liu Shangshuxinna's concubine? Her brother fell in love with the Flower Dance Workshop, and forced me to resell it to him three months ago, and I had no way to ask for help, so I had to sell it at a price of 300 taels, and there was no place in the capital, so I wanted to find a clean town to make do with it.

Unexpectedly, when passing through this place, I encountered robbers who robbed the road, not only looted my belongings, but also ran away from the accompanying servants, but finally did not hurt my life, and ended up here, fortunately this store took me in, and I am also grateful. ”

When Mother Qi heard this, she had already left her past grievances behind her heart, grabbed Su Yu's hand, and shook it:

"Thank goodness you're okay!"

Su Yu looked at her originally charming eyes, worried and sincere at this time, and her heart was moved, so she held her hand and said:

"Thank you, Ah Qi! Thank you! ”

Mother Qi continued to ask:

"So what are you going to do in the future? Where are you going to live? ”

Su Yu was silent for a while before he said:

"Alas, I have to go back to the capital to resume my old business, but I don't know if there is a man willing to touch this old skin? Otherwise, it's just a matter of finding a nunnery for the rest of your life. . . ”

Qi's mother was speechless for a long time, thinking again and again, and several times she made a gesture of wanting to speak and stopping, but in the deep expectation hidden in Su Yu's eyes, she swallowed it back, and after a few times, Su Yu did not hold out hope, excused herself for sleepiness, and lay down and fell asleep again.

Wang Quan stood in front of the window, listening to the narration of the two without saying a word, until this time he whispered to Qi's mother:

"I'll go out to see how the road is going, although we are not in a hurry, but we also have to return to our hometown before the end of the year to celebrate the New Year, so I can take office, right?"

Qi's mother agreed, but then walked out of the room, grabbed the corner of his shirt and asked:

"What do you think?"

Wang Quan said strangely:

"What do I think?"

Mother Qi looked at his eyes with a smile, there was no answer she was looking for, so she was a little puzzled:

"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"

So she diverted her words, turned around and was about to go back to the room, but she heard Wang Quan stop her again:

"Uh, Ah Qi, I know you are a good-hearted person. However, everyone has their own life, and we can't force the same, it is not easy for us to take care of ourselves, and then add a senseless burden to ourselves, you and I do not have that ability, let alone that obligation, do you say? ”

Mother Qi looked at Wang Quan in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she had to nod and go by herself.

After two or three days, the wind and snow stopped, the snow disappeared, although the exposed mud was muddy, it was also frozen by the extremely low temperature, it was the best time to go on the road, the guests in the inn were almost gone, Wang Quan also hinted several times that Qi's mother would go as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, Qi's mother looked at Su Yu, who had been lying on the bed and had never recovered, but she couldn't leave without making up her mind, Wang Quan finally gave an ultimatum:

Tomorrow is going to start anyway!

Only then did Qi's mother make up her mind, and when she slept with Su Yu for the last night at night, she took out the purple wood box that Su Yu asked Wang Quan to hand over to her, and said to Su Yu ashamedly:

"I haven't saved much money over the years, you and I both know that the daily flow of water does not know how many officials and bandits who enter the door to blackmail, but fortunately, in the end, I still relied on Wang Quan's face to sell Yunxian Building at a good price.

Here are the congratulatory gifts you gave me at the beginning, I have always been a thought and did not use it, now, I will add some more to you, although I can't let you have a yard of the scale of Hua Wulou again, but do some other small business, or you are willing to make a small yard to support yourself. ”

Saying that, he opened the box, in addition to the hairpin ring jade that he gave that day, there were two hundred taels of silver tickets, Su Yu was very moved in his heart, held Qi's mother's hand and choked up:

"Ah Qi, in fact, you don't have to do this, these silver are not easy to come by, besides, you and Lord Wang are going to their hometown, there are still many places where you need silver, and I have long been tired of the hook bar business, well, I have already asked, there is a nunnery not far away, it seems that it can take in desperate people, and in a few days, I will look for it when I am healthy, so these silver two hairpin rings and the like are useless to me, thank you."

Saying that, the force of pushing in her hand was quite strong, and Mother Qi finally said in annoyance:

"You have to accept these entanglements, and you have to accept them if you don't accept them, otherwise, how can you let me and Lord Wang set off!"

She is a straightforward character who does not hide it, and she must say what she has in her heart to be happy, Su Yu was silent after listening to it, and said half-loudly:

"Okay, I'll take it, thank you!"

After speaking, he put the box under the pillow and said:

"Don't sleep in my room tonight, go to Lord Wang's room, lest you wake me up when you leave early tomorrow morning, and make me sad and sad."

Qi's mother listened, and she reluctantly hugged Suyu, although she couldn't bear it, but she still opened the door.
