Chapter 296: Freezing to death

Seeing this, Shen Youqiu hurriedly took off the bracelet.

"How can this be done, it's too precious, Sister Huishu, don't be like this, what kind of greeting gift do you get?"

Xiao Ruyue also kept shaking her head, "Sister Huishu, Ruyue, Ruyue can't ask you for such a valuable gift, otherwise, you can buy a bunch of sugar gourds for Ruyue, Ruyue likes to eat sugar gourds."

Hearing this, Song Huishu laughed, liking this girl doll more and more.

"You little girl is so stupid, how can the sugar gourd compare to this, this can buy a lot of sugar gourds."

"Ruyue is not stupid."

Xiao Ruyue shook her head and said very seriously: "It's just that Ruyue knows that she can't ask for other people's things for nothing, Sister Huishu is good and beautiful, it would be good to buy a string of sugar gourds for Ruyue, if you give Ruyue a bracelet, Ruyue will not be able to sleep."

"You doll!"

Song Hye-sook pretended to be angry and glared at her.

"Okay, Sister Hye-sook, don't give it." Shen Youqiu also persuaded, "Didn't you say to go to eat and drink? Let's go to the bar, Ruyue hasn't been to Shengjing Mansion yet, the food in Shengjing Mansion is delicious, let her try it too."

"Okay."

Seeing that both of them were so persistent, Song Huishu had no choice but to take back the bracelet, but she was still helpless in her heart.

"You sisters are also more sincere, not to mention that this bracelet is not valuable to me, it is really a valuable object, just because of your character, I am willing to give it, but those cousins and cousins in my family who think about stealing my jewelry and deceiving me all day long, I am a broken stone on the ground, and I don't want to give them an extra one!"

"County Lord!"

The maid shouted again helplessly.

"Got it, got it!"

Song Huishu hurriedly said, "I won't talk nonsense, I'll go eat and drink."

"The princess told you to go back early."

"Isn't that early?" Song Huishu pointed to the surging flow of people outside, "I didn't see that there were still so many people outside, and it wasn't noon yet, what was the hurry, wait for me and Sister Shen Ruyue to go to Shengjing Tower to eat some delicious food, and then go back, and then bring some delicious food to my mother when the time comes, my mother will definitely not be angry."

The maid couldn't resist her, so she had to go with her.

Then a few people walked towards Shengjing Tower, there were a lot of people along the way, and there were noisy voices everywhere, Song Huishu took Shen Youqiu's arm, suddenly leaned into her ear, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Shen, do you know martial arts, and that kind of martial arts is particularly powerful?"

Shen Youqiu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I understand something, it's not very powerful."

Song Huishu instantly became excited, her eyes were shining, "Then you teach me well, I also want to learn, do you know that when you were outside the city that day, you were so handsome, I didn't see your movements clearly, I feel that you are more powerful than those in the barracks, as well as those guards in front of the palace, you teach me!"

"Let's talk about this when we get to the place."

Shen Youqiu smiled helplessly: "Besides, learning martial arts is not something that happens overnight, if you really want to learn it at that time, then you have to be prepared to endure hardships."

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to endure hardship!"

"That's good, but don't scold me for deliberately mistreating you."

"How is that possible?"

The two talked and laughed for a while, turned a corner, and suddenly saw a large group of people surrounded in front of them.

"What's going on?"

Song Huishu has always been a person who likes to join in the fun, as soon as she saw this scene, she immediately couldn't move her footsteps, and immediately wanted to squeeze into the crowd, but the place in front of her was like a bucket, Qiu looked at her small body, and then looked at Xiao Ruyue, helplessly pulled her back, and said, "You two are waiting here, I'll go see what's going on."

"Sister Shen, don't go."

Song Huishu also grabbed her, then looked at the family who was following her at any time, and ordered, "Go and see what is going on in front of you."

The family received the order and immediately went to check.

A few people were waiting in the back, and they also heard some scattered discussions.

"This man looks like he froze to death?"

"Who knows, it's so cold, if you don't find a place to shelter from the wind and rain at night, you won't freeze to death."

"What can that man do, many of these victims have their houses crushed by the snow, and they have nowhere to go."

"Hey, didn't you say that the imperial court distributed cotton clothes and food, and also built temporary shacks? Why are there still people who are freezing to death outside?"

"I see that the clothes he is wearing are also quite thick, so thick that he froze to death, speaking of which, the court can be regarded as a conscience, and the cotton clothes are so thick."

"I heard that two people also froze to death in the west of the city yesterday, what do you say is going on, the weather today is similar to the winter of previous years, why are so many people freezing to death?"

At this time, the inquiring family also returned.

"County Lord, the little one inquired, there was a person dead in front, it seems that it should be a disaster victim, it seems that they froze to death, they have already reported to the official, and they want to come later."

Hearing this, the faces of both of them were a little unpleasant.

Song Hye-sook, who was originally excited to go to drink, also lost her appetite for a while.

"Today doesn't look good, I think, why don't we make an appointment another day." Shen Youqiu couldn't help but say.

The maid also stepped forward to persuade her: "County Lord, let's go back, if you let Her Royal Highness the princess know that you have met a dead person outside and still don't go back, she will definitely scold you, maybe you have to invite those monks in the temple to come and go for three days."

Hearing this, Song Hye-sook's little face suddenly became bitter.

Suddenly, a stern cheer came.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

It turned out that someone from the government was coming, and everyone quickly got out of the way, and then the people from the government cleaned up the body, wrapped the body casually with a straw mat, and carried it away.

When passing by Shen Youqiu's eyes, Shen Youqiu seemed to see something fluttering in front of him floating over, grabbed it casually with his hand, and put it in his hand to see that there was a small wisp of reed tidbits.

She was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the rolled up straw mat, and always felt that something was wrong.

"I think, let's go back."

The maid looked at the straw mat being raised from her eyes, and immediately lowered her head in disgust, and kept persuading Song Huishu, "County Lord, let's come out next time, let's go back today, haven't you heard what others said?" There have been a lot of people who have froze to death lately, so if we see another one later—"

"Alright, then go back!"

The more Song Huishu listened, the more frightened she became, interrupted the maid, then looked at Shen Youqiu, and said embarrassedly, "Sister Shen, let's not go to eat and drink today, let's make an appointment, how about meeting again next time?"
