Girls love to joke [Zhan Zhao colleagues]

Since that day when he helped Su Lin find the branches, Zhan Zhao never heard from Su Lin again. He only had two or three days off, and soon he was busy again.He understood Su Lin's behavior, and she must have asked for something when she came to the door, otherwise she would seldom visit.She told him to go to her stall on the Lantern Festival, and he knew that her petty thoughts were nothing more than using him to solicit business, and he could tolerate it by turning a blind eye.

What surprised Zhan Zhao was that Cuiming came to Kaifeng mansion alone to look for Mr. Gongsun. In his impression, Cuiming was always a quiet and well-behaved little girl. After she followed Su Lin, she was almost inseparable from Su Lin. Why did she come to look for Gongsun alone today? gentlemen?Zhan Zhao guessed that she probably came for Su Lin, but he didn't know what it was.He only led her to Mr. Gongsun's small courtyard and left first.

Mr. Gongsun was tending flowers and plants in the courtyard, when he saw Cuiming visiting, he stopped what he was doing, and greeted the little girl for tea and snacks.Cuiming was a little cautious, holding his teacup for a long time without saying a word.Mr. Gongsun smiled kindly: "Miss Cuiming came here for Miss Su?"

Cuiming nodded: "Sir, just call me Cuiming." After a pause, he continued: "Sir, thanks to the help of Mr. Zhan, Cuiming was taken in by the eldest sister, so that he has a comforting life today. However, we are only There are two girls in the family, there are no elders in the family, and some things are difficult to handle. Sir, Cuiming respects you very much in my heart, and I want to ask you for help."

"Just tell me, if you can help, you will do your best." Mr. Gongsun nodded in response, and the little girl was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears. What made her so anxious?Sure enough, when Cuiming saw Mr. Gongsun's answer, he seemed to let go of the stone in his heart. Then he smiled and said happily: "Thank you, sir! Cuiming will feel at ease with your help."

Mr. Gongsun took a sip of tea with a smile, and asked: "I think you didn't come here for your own business. If it was for Miss Su's business, the students thought it would probably be futile. Miss Su's idea is very big, you should be more serious than me." Get to know her as a person."

Cuiming hurriedly stood up: "Sir, I don't know something. A few days ago, I accidentally learned that the elder sister gave Mr. Zhan the New Year's money. Mr. Zhan should be in his early twenties, right? This New Year's money is given by the elders to the younger ones. The elder sister came here." Doesn't it mean that she is older than Mr. Zhan?" Mr. Gongsun was stunned for a while, and Miss Su gave Zhanwei the new year's money?Which one is this?He only heard that on the first day of the new year, Miss Su accompanied the exhibition guards to patrol a section of the street, but he didn't expect such an episode.However, Miss Su likes to joke on weekdays, maybe she was just playing around with Zhan Huwei.He comforted him: "Could it be Miss Su playing with Zhan Huwei?"

"It's fine if it's just a joke. I asked my eldest sister later, and she said that she is seven in her twenties this year!" Cuiming's thin eyebrows were knotted, and she could hardly accept this fact.

27? 27!Mr. Gongsun was also very surprised. It is rare for a Zhanwei to have a family of [-] or [-] without a family. A girl has a family of [-] or [-] and is still living in a boudoir. This... Although he also thinks that Miss Su is quite old, but no matter what. It was unexpected that she was so old.Cui Ming sighed: "I can't repay the kindness of the eldest sister. Now that I know that her marriage is difficult, I must help her find a good home. But it is impossible for me as a little girl to handle this matter, so I can only ask Mr. coming."

Mr. Gongsun frowned slightly, Miss Su was arrogant and arrogant, her eyes were higher than the roof, and ordinary men might not be able to catch her eyes; however, she is an orphan girl, and she is very old, so it is really difficult.Furthermore, there were very few unmarried men her age.If you really want to look for it, it's either someone from a poor family who can't marry a wife, or someone with a handicap, or a widower.This is not easy!After thinking about it, Mr. Gongsun said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. I wonder who Miss Su has her mind on? It would be much easier if we can match them." Instead of finding someone to match her, it is better to match her. People come to please.

Cuiming thought for a while, then shook his head: "She usually has a lot of contacts with Mr. Zhan, and recently because of business, she also has a little contact with Mr. Zhuo's bodyguard. Others... I can't see who she cares about." Gongsun When Mr. Cui Ming mentioned Zhan Zhao, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Miss Su is really interested in Zhan Huwei?Although Zhan Weiwei's age is about the same as hers, how can the two of them get along with each other?Zhanwei is young and promising, with a bright future, so he naturally chooses a woman of comparable family status to accompany him for life.Ms. Su...Mr. Gongsun sighed: "This marriage is about matching the family. Ms. Su is very high-minded. I'm afraid the person we are looking for won't catch her eye. It's better to keep it a secret from her until there is something serious about it."

Cuiming also knew that this matter would not be possible for a while, since Mr. Gongsun agreed, it doesn't matter whether it will be possible or not, at least there is something to look forward to.Back home, Su Lin is decorating her branches. Yesterday she painted the branches white and planted them in flower pots. Now she is hanging bells on the branches.Cuiming looked at her focused side face, and really thought that the elder sister was a beauty, but she had a weird temper.Mr. Gongsun's words are very reasonable, the eldest sister is high-minded, and men from ordinary families are not in her eyes, and they are not worthy of her.Marriage is a matter of satisfaction, so you might as well find out the elder sister's tone to see what kind of person she likes, and there is a direction to make arrangements.

Cuiming stepped forward to help hang the bell, and said casually, "I heard that Chunya's eldest brother is engaged. Chunya said that her future sister-in-law will be very capable, beautiful and gentle." It's the first time I do it, the eldest sister is so shrewd, she won't be able to see the clues, right?She was a little apprehensive: "Sister, what will my brother-in-law be like in the future?"

Su Lin took a few steps back to look at the overall shape of the branches, and followed Cuiming's words and replied, "Brother-in-law? Uncle Shunzi from the steamed bun stall next door looks good. Hmm... two more hanging on the left would be enough." Two more bells were hung up: "The old strength of the pork stall is also very good!"

Uncle Shunzi?Old man?Cuiming's hand to hang the bell froze, Uncle Shunzi looked forty, right?His daughter-in-law died of illness ten years ago, and she has never been married since then, living with her children.Lao Jin is also in his thirties, his face is full of flesh, and it is said that his wife ran away with someone.Eldest sister, do you look down on Mr. Zhan and prefer middle-aged uncles?Seeing that Cuiming hadn't moved for a long time, Su Lin turned her head and glanced, and asked, "What? You think they're not good?"

Cuiming felt that his throat was dry, and replied with a half smile: "What's wrong with them?"

Although Su Lin was still fiddling with her precious branches, her tone was quite serious: "Uncle Shunzi will love others when he gets older. If I marry him, he will definitely hold me in his palm and offer it to him. He already has three My child, I don’t even have to have a child, which saves trouble and worry. As for Lao Jin, every time I see him playing with that bone chopping knife, I feel very masculine. Marrying him and eating meat will not Worry, no meat makes one thinner!"

Cuiming felt powerless: "Sister, you love to joke all the time! How can Uncle Shunzi and Lao Jin be a good match?" Su Lin smirked and said, "Cuiming has a crush? Whose man is so lucky? Tell me, Eldest Sister will serve as your staff." Cuiming was just a little girl, her ears turned red when she heard this, and she stared at Su Lin for a long time without being able to hold back a word.

Although the matter was left as it is, Cuiming couldn't help but began to observe Uncle Shunzi and Lao Jin secretly, and also began to pay attention to the man beside Su Lin.Most of what the eldest sister said was nonsense to coax her, but she couldn't be sure that she was joking, ouch, look at this... She always thought that the elder sister's eyes were high above the top, but she didn't expect her to be so pragmatic...

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Zhan Zhao entered the palace to be on duty. The palace was brightly lit and dazzling with colorful lanterns. Although it was lively, it was less easy-going.The majesty of the official family, although it is prosperous like a brocade, is always like a flower separated from the clouds, and it can only be admired.Zhan Zhao walked through the sea of ​​lights, silently performing his duties, thinking that he might lose his trust in Su Lin.

On the other hand, Su Lin was so busy that she had already forgotten about Zhan Zhao.Because it was the Lantern Festival, Su Lin specially decorated the stall to look beaming.The most conspicuous thing is her pot of branches, which she calls the wishing tree.The wishing tree is planted in a pottery pot, and it looks graceful after her careful grooming.The whole body of the branch was white, with bells and some small red paper bags with auspicious words hanging on the branches; a stack of auspicious words such as "peace", "ruyi", "shun", "blessing" and "wealth" were placed on the tables next to it. There is also a small red paper bag for words, and paper and ink are prepared for literati to express their wishes. After writing, they can be put into a red paper bag and hung on the branches to pray.

Su Lin's wishing tree was fresh, and she was the only one in the Northern Song Dynasty to have it.Although eight copper coins are required to make a wish, many people are still willing to spend money to hang a red bag on the tree for auspiciousness.Su Lin is eloquent, she can boast to everyone, and she never repeats the same.And after the nonsense festival, the wishing tree will be sent to Daxiangguo Temple to invite eminent monks to do deeds, and Bodhisattvas to bless everyone's wishes.After several agitations, her stall was completely surrounded.

After working for a while, this wave of people receded a little.Su Lin took some time to catch her breath, wiped the thin sweat from her forehead, and suddenly noticed that the two girls standing in front of the wishing tree looked familiar, and after careful scrutiny, she recognized that she was Li Changyi's fiancee, Zhang Yunxuan. Her personal maid, Qiubi.According to what she knew, Li Changyi and Ms. Zhang's wedding is coming soon. It stands to reason that Ms. Zhang should be extremely happy at this time. Why is she looking haggard and dull-eyed?Then Li Changyi is a good-looking talent, with a good character and family background, she is not satisfied with such a fiancé-in-law?

She doesn't care about anything else, Miss Zhang is a fat sheep, she must slaughter it well.She laughed and went up to say hello: "Miss Zhang, why are you alone during the Lantern Festival? But you got separated from Mr. Li? Why don't you rest here with a cup of milk tea and pray for a blessing. Maybe Li The young master came here on his hind legs." As he spoke, he beckoned the two girls to sit down at the small table, and Cuiming swiftly served two bowls of milk tea.

Zhang Yunxuan forced a shy smile, lowered her head and drank milk tea to cover her expression, while Qiu Bi was also frowning all the time.Su Lin couldn't help wondering, what made Miss Zhang so melancholy?It doesn't look like he got separated from Mr. Li, but rather brings this maid out alone.People with worries need a channel to vent, and her wishing tree was born for this. She pointed to the wishing tree and said: "Look at that wishing tree, all the branches are hung with wishes, and sincerity means nothing." Ling, Miss, why don't you make a wish." Zhang Yunxuan looked at the wishing tree and was speechless for a while, she just looked at it for a long time, and they all hung their wishes on the branches with great joy, but she...she was full of thoughts. Who should I tell?

Seeing the young lady's depression, Qiubi felt anxious, and persuaded: "Miss, since you are here, maybe you can make a wish, after all, it's just a wish." Zhang Yunxuan nodded, but she couldn't write until the people behind her could wait. When I got impatient, I wrote down the word "Ping An" and put it in a paper bag and hung it on a branch.Su Lin's sharp eyes clearly saw tears in her eyes.Soon, she welcomed another wave of guests, so naturally she didn't take this episode to heart.
