Chapter 24

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sick? I'll take you to see a doctor." Su Niangzi touched his little hand, which was cold, and she couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Xichun shook his head, he knew that he was not sick, but he just felt inexplicably uneasy, and it seemed that his surroundings suddenly became cold, so he looked around in fear.

He didn't feel this way when he was by Su Nanzhen's side, even if he felt uneasy, because with her around, he wouldn't be afraid. Xichun took Su Niangzi back to his room, "Sleep."

"Do you want to sleep back in the cage?" Mrs. Su looked at him and thought for a while before asking.

Xichun looked at her seriously, guessing what she meant, nodded for a moment, then took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll stay with you here." Mrs. Su helped him cover the quilt and coaxed him to sleep.

Perhaps there was Su Nanzhen's aura on the quilt, Xichun felt less uneasy, looking at Su's concerned face, she really fell asleep in a daze.

"I'm really sleepy, so is Zhen'er. I didn't know to let you go to bed early last night." Su Niangzi couldn't help laughing. Seeing that he fell asleep, she wanted to go out and do something else, but she was caught again before she fully got up. Xichun grasped it firmly.

His uneasiness made her feel distressed, so she stayed with him in the room.

He had just woken up when Su Nanzhen came back.

"Mother, I plan to use those stones to pave the way up the mountain. It will be easier for you to go up and down the mountain." Su Nanzhen tidied up her things, and then said to Su Niangzi.

"That's good, but those rocks are so heavy, you and I may not be able to move them together." Su Niangzi looked at the pile of rocks next to the house, and said in embarrassment.

"Don't move the big stones first. I thought about it. I'd better set up a shady place here to put the plum blossoms. If I put them in the mountains, I'm afraid I'll be harmed by birds and beasts." Su Nanzhen looked at the big stones and thought. Think, and say.

"There aren't many small stones, I'll go and pick them up again." Su Niangzi looked at the remaining small stones, and it was not enough to pave a mountain road to get out.

"Okay, but don't go too far. It's near here. I'll sort out the mountain road." Su Nanzhen took out a hoe and started tidying up the mountain road outside the yard, digging grooves and tamping the road surface.

And Xichun went to pick up stones with Mrs. Su, picked up a basket, and began to spread them on the mountain road that had just been sorted out. The big stones were pieced together, and the small stones filled the gaps, and then a layer of soil was laid on it.

The three of them worked all afternoon to sort out more than a dozen steps.

As the sun was setting, Xichun leaned on Su Nanzhen's arms, and Su Nanzhen leaned on Miss Su's shoulder, looking at the mountain road at dusk, they smiled in unison.

"Can you still move?" Su Niangzi moved her shoulders.

"Let me take it easy." Su Nanzhen said coquettishly. In fact, she worked hard for this little family. She seemed to be unable to use up all her strength, but she couldn't let go of the warmth at this moment.

"Then you take a break, I'll cook, go to bed early tonight, and I'll teach Xichun, even during the day." Su Niangzi got up and said, inexplicably a little proud.

Su Nanzhen looked at her mother discouragedly, just wanting to rely on her, but she still had one in her arms, so she continued to sit, the mountain road was paved, and he could follow up and down the mountain, and fetching water was much more convenient.

The mountain road was finally paved before the Hundred Flowers Festival, but it would take some time until the grass grew in the crevices of the rocks to make the mountain road firm. Su Nanzhen walked Su Niangzi and Xichun on the mountain road he paved, feeling full of accomplishment.

The three-day Hundred Flowers Festival began. Su Nanzhen held her pot of Treading Snow Plum Blossoms in one hand, and Xi Chun in the other hand, looking around for a booth, while Su Niangzi held another pot of orchids.

If you have a fixed booth, you need to collect money, but you don’t need to collect money for walking around with flower pots like them, but you still have to pay some money if the flowers are sold.

They prepared two pots of flowers. Su Nanzhen didn't plan to pay extra, so she just hugged the flower pots and looked for a place to stay.

Most of the flower sellers are villagers from Baihua Town, and they basically know each other. When those people saw that she was also selling flowers, they couldn't help whispering. Su Nanzhen just smiled and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

The Duan family also paid money for the booth of the Ma family, but the money was handed over to the horseman, and the payment was relatively small.

Ma Zhenzhu grabbed the job of selling flowers, and of course there was a manager watching over the booth, she was in charge of entertaining the female relatives, and the manager was in charge of negotiating big deals.

Duan Yuying also came to join in the fun, after all, there were many sons and daughters at the Hundred Flowers Festival, even in front of Ma Zhuzhu, she had the cheek to put on her old clothes.

Seeing Su Nanzhen appearing, she couldn't help but said in front of Ma Zhenzhu, "Look at her, she is dark, thin and short, it is already a blessing from Sanshengxiu to be able to marry my brother, but she doesn't cherish it when she was born."

"Maybe she doesn't have that kind of luck." Ma Zhenzhu didn't even look at Su Nanzhen and then intimately complained to Duan Yuying about those things, and there were many things she could talk about, "I don't know what tricks she used to make Mr. Gu look up to her .”

When she saw clearly the flower pot in Su Nanzhen's hand, her eyes rolled around Duan Yuying's ear and muttered a few words.

Duan Yuying couldn't help but her eyes lit up, she walked up to Su Nanzhen and asserted that she couldn't afford such an expensive flower pot, and accused her of stealing other people's flowers to sell.

"The flowerpot was picked up, do you want me to write you an address? Oh, sorry, I forgot that you are illiterate, come here a little bit, and I will tell you secretly, lest someone listen to it and you won't find it cheap." Su Nanzhen hooked her fingers.

Duan Yuying looked left and right, saw other people whispering, felt ashamed and annoyed, stomped her feet, turned around and ran away.

Su Nanzhen curled her lips. They were very happy when they talked about her, but she just replied, as for?
The blooming flowers are still pleasing to the eye, and Su Nanzhen misses Xiu'er a little bit. With her around, perhaps all the flowers are inferior to her. It would be great if she could be recruited to help sell flowers.

In fact, Pei Songzhi hurried back to Yanjing after learning that the ancestors of the Duan family regarded him as a thorn in his side. Temper to leave.

Qi Ye wanted to leave, and Pei Songzhi couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to go back and ask the emperor for an official from Tongzhou to serve as a judge. Of course, he didn't want to come to this official position just because of his own status, but he relied on his own ability. Top pick.

Pei Songzhi's greatest luck is probably that he was safe once in the examination for the number one scholar. Emperor Qingyuan intended to let him experience it, but since he took office, he has caused many troubles. The kind that has nothing to say.

Pei Songzhi wanted to go to Tongzhou to serve as a judge, but Shen Zhiwei, the prefect of Tongzhou, was like the smelly and hard stone in the latrine, which made things difficult for him. The emperor agreed to let Pei Songzhi go to Tongzhou without much thought.

Princess Huairou probably thought the same way, with Shen Zhiwei watching over Tongzhou, it stands to reason that Liu Changqin would not make any big mistakes if he went to Tongzhou to be the governor, and he would not offend anyone.
