Xiao Lian was familiar with frying fish nuggets, so naturally it didn't take too much time.But when Xiao Lian packed everything up and brought the fried fish to Bai Jiao's cabin, he found that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Bai Jiao slept curled up under the quilt, only a small bulge in appearance.
I must buy some charcoal tomorrow. It is inconvenient not to buy charcoal fire, and the house is deserted.
Probably because of the cold, Bai Jiao put the oversized winter clothes on the quilt.
I bought this winter coat as a set. The outer clothes are too big, so the inner clothes probably won't fit.
Underwear that doesn't fit properly can be uncomfortable to wear, and it can make people feel empty and always go for a ride.
Xiao Lian put the fish pieces on the table beside Bai Jiao's bed, tucked the quilt for him, then went to the room where his mother lived and brought another quilt to cover him, and after blowing out the candle, he took Bai Jiao Unworn new winter clothes, turned and returned to his cabin.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and it was still snowing outside. From time to time, there was a sound of branches being broken by the snow.
On the riverside, in the cabin in the middle of the painting, a candle flickered, flickering, reflecting the figures who were still busy.
Xiao Lian rubbed his eyes, put down the clothes in his hands, went to the wooden bucket containing the crabs and checked carefully, and saw that the crabs were still in the wooden bucket in good condition, so he was relieved.
Then he picked out the dimmed candle wick, turned the fire up a bit more, then turned around and sat back, continuing to fly the needle.
Hurry up, whether it's helping Bai Jiao remake clothes, or catching more crabs, you have to be quicker.
There is not much time left for yourself.
The next day, when Bai Jiao woke up, he found that the newly bought winter clothes had changed.
He shook his head, but still put on the soft little coat.
Needless to say, although mortal clothes are not as large or small as vestments, they are surprisingly warm.
When Xiao Lian came in with warm water, what he saw was Xiao Baijiao in new clothes, swinging his arms and legs in novelty.In particular, Bai Jiao's winter coat is decorated with a fluffy white collar, making him look like a little golden boy in a New Year painting.
Xiao Lian's heart suddenly seemed to be hit by something.
It's so beautiful, if he can live a few more years, he will have such a cute doll.
What are you thinking?
Xiao Lian shook his head to drive away the inappropriate thoughts in his mind, and then brought the basin of warm water to Bai Jiao.
Bai Jiao stretched out a pair of small hands and asked Xiao Lian to push his sleeves for him, very calmly.This guy has always been Jingui's master.
Xiao Lian smiled, and worked hard to help him fasten his sleeves, and grabbed those little hands to help him wash his hands.
It's a pity that Boss Xiaobai won't let others do it for washing his face.
After the two of them had dinner and packed up the affairs of the boat, they set off.
The snow had stopped, and the snow on the ground could almost bury half of Xiao Baijiao's calf.
Xiao Lian carried a small burden on his back, and carried the two buckets of crabs on a pole, stepping on little Baijiao's footprints behind him.The original intention is to be able to watch Xiao Baijiao all the time, so as to support him in time when he is about to fall.
But after putting down the pole again to fish out little Baijiao from the hidden snow nest, Xiao Lian became dumbfounded, so he could only say: "I'll go ahead, you follow my footprints."
Xiao Baijiao blushed a little, probably from the cold, he stubbornly raised his head to meet Xiao Lian's face, insisting that the other party accept his point of view: "Let me tell you, this is a special situation."
"Well, I know." It was a special case that happened two or three times in succession.
Xiao Lian watched Xiao Baijiao being smoothed, and contentedly moved aside and waited for him to leave first.
He picked up the pole and walked in small steps, with a smile on his face: "I will see old doctor Chen later, can you act like a three or four-year-old child? If you are too mature, you should be like you , might scare the old man over."
There were soft footsteps behind him, and a clear and clear child's voice: "I know, it's so cold today, if you want to say more, I'll go back to the boat."
"But don't, if someone takes you away, I won't have a place to cry. Just don't say anything."
"If you talk about people taking me away again, I'll make you cry right now."
"Stop talking, stop talking..."
The road was slippery, and the two of them walked for a long time before arriving at Tong Shan Tang.
With such a long distance, Bai Jiao often had short legs, and when he arrived at Tong Shan Tang, he was so tired that he sat on the stool and didn't move.
Xiao Lian sent some new fried fish nuggets to old doctor Chen, seeing how he and Li Qingzhen teased Xiao Baijiao like a child, he couldn't help laughing.
However, he noticed that Xiao Baijiao had an obviously tired face when he was dealing with old doctor Chen. He still felt distressed and said, "Old man, Bai Jiao has just recovered from a serious illness and doesn't have much energy. I want to sell crabs for a while." I can't take care of him, I want to ask you to take care of him a little bit more, so that he can go back to sleep."
"Don't worry, you just leave the doll with me, and I'll take care of your son for sure, all right?"
"Huh?" Son?Xiao Baijiao raised his head instantly, looking at Xiao Lian dangerously.
As soon as Xiao Lian heard this, he felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly bid farewell to old doctor Chen, picked up his shoulder pole and ran away.
As soon as he left Tong Shan Tang, Xiao Lian smiled.Today, he is going to Zhongninghou Mansion.
Xiao Lian walked a few more steps, and temporarily hired a driver to drive a carriage, "Handlebar, go to Zhongninghou Mansion. I have something to do, so wait for me to come out. You will not be missing the money that should be paid."
The coachman responded happily, and when Xiao Lian's people and goods were all in the carriage, he said, "Guest officer, sit still." Then, he whipped the horse and said, "Drive!"
The carriage rolled on the thick snow, making deep ruts.
Xiao Lian unpacked his bag, quickly took off his coat on the swaying carriage, and put on the expensive winter coat he bought yesterday, and a matching cap, which was refreshing.
Since people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, from today onwards, he is an out-of-town businessman living in Jiangcheng because of the closure of the river——Lian Xiao.
The road was slippery with thick vertical snow, and the speed of the carriage was faster than that of human feet.Not long after, Xiao Lian arrived at Zhongninghou's residence.
Overnight, the gate tower of Zhongninghou Mansion was completely covered by heavy snow.The rich door was closed tightly, there was no one in front of the door, and there were no footprints on the steps in front of the door.
Xiao Lian got out of the carriage, asked the groom to wait for him, and then went up to call for the door.
After taking a few shots, he heard the old grandson of the concierge respond: "Here we come."
The door opened with a "squeak", and the concierge appeared in front of Xiao Lian again, but obviously he no longer regarded Xiao Lian as a beggar, and he didn't even recognize him.
The concierge looked Xiao Lian up and down, and a smile appeared on his face: "This guest is unfamiliar, who are you looking for?"
Xiao Lian walked around, recalled his new identity, and said in a Baijiao tone: "Tell you Guanshi Liu to come out, I have a business to discuss with him."
"Dare to ask the guest's name? Can you ask what it is about? I can answer."
"Miangui's surname is Lian, Crab." Xiao Lian summed it up concisely, as if the concierge was not worthy of his talking.
"Okay." Old Sun was not angry at all, and after calling the messenger to call someone, he greeted him more enthusiastically, "It's cold, why don't the guests come in first?"
"I still have stock."
"Hey." Old Sun saw that he didn't want to talk more, so he stopped talking. He just walked around rubbing his hands to breathe, and waited with Xiao Lian.Every time he met Xiao Lian's eyes, he would laugh to himself.
The guy who watches people order dishes.Xiao Lian remembered what happened yesterday, and didn't want to say a word to him at all.
Fortunately, Guanshi Liu came out soon.
Liu Guanshi was dressed thicker, although it was a little cold, but he didn't make small movements like Lao Sun, and looked more stable.
"You are?" Guanshi Liu also looked Xiao Lian up and down to confirm that he did not know this so-called person surnamed Lian, and he was a little suspicious at this time.
"I'm Lian Xiao. I'm living in Jiangcheng due to the sudden closure of the river. I heard that Guanshi Liu of the Hou's Mansion bought crabs. I just have a boatload of crabs, so I came to make this fate with Guanshi Liu."
"A boatload of crabs?" Guanshi Liu was stunned, but he quickly realized that he was even more enthusiastic than Old Sun.He hurriedly bowed to invite Xiao Lian to come in, and said: "If Mr. Lian really has a boatload of crabs, then we are destined to meet thousands of miles away. Come, please come in."
Although Liu Guanshi behaved enthusiastically, he murmured in his heart, in this weather, dare to boast that there is a boatload of crabs in Haikou?To prove that he was making fun of him, let's see how he deals with this person.Merchants?It is easy for him who is not familiar with the place of life.
"Wait a minute, won't Manager Liu inspect the goods first?" Xiao Lian raised his hand to stop him.
"Inspection?"
"Come with me."
Xiao Lian walked directly to the carriage and took the two buckets of picked crabs from the carriage.
"This is just a small part of it. My crabs are all like them."
Guanshi Liu also followed him to the bucket, and when he heard the words, he lifted the lid of the bucket, and when he saw the crabs in the bucket, he took a deep breath: "Even your goods are this size?"
"The most important thing in business is not to deceive customers, and the Hou Mansion is so powerful, will I still deceive you?" Xiao Lian feigned anger.
"Where is it, it's cold outside, so as not to neglect rare guests. Please come in, Mr. Lian, and we will talk in detail in the room." Liu Butler bowed and invited.
Xiao Lian waved his hand, signaling the coachman to wait for him at the corner, and then walked into the gate of Zhongninghou Mansion with Steward Liu.
The old grandson's eyelids were lively, and he ran over in a hurry, picked up two buckets with both hands, and carried the buckets in.
After entering the gate, there will naturally be other servants to take over, and Lao Sun is still a little bit reluctant to part with it.
The servant knocked off Lao Sun's hand: "Old Sun, are you enough? You have to perform your duties, and you are just a janitor. Don't just want to pick it up when you see well-dressed clothes all day long."
"Cut." Old Sun rolled his eyes, but he didn't insist. He just went back to the small room beside the gatehouse, wrapped himself in the quilt again and didn't move.
"Well, the more well-dressed a nobleman is, the less oil and water he has. People froze to death today. If the beggar didn't freeze to death yesterday, I can drink more bowls of wine if I come back again."
Here, Xiao Lian was led by Guanshi Liu to the backyard.
"Come on, Mr. Lian, don't think my brother is shabby. I really can't stand on the stage, and I am not qualified to entertain Mr. Lian in the front hall. It is cold now, and the pavilion is beautiful, but I am driving around. Come to my brother's house to have a cup of hot tea to warm up Warm your stomach, warm your hands with a cup of tea."
"It's okay, don't stick to these formalities." Xiao Lian waved his hands, looking very casual.
"Young Master Lian, I will send the two barrels of crabs to the nearby firewood room. Since there is still a boatload of crabs, these will be served on the table first, so that Master Hou will be happy."
"Naturally, Guan Liu is easy to handle."
While talking, the two of them were not far from the firewood room.From time to time, a couple of cooks came and went, and when they saw Guanshi Liu, they would politely say "Guanshi Liu" to him.
Xiao Lian noticed that when a mother and daughter saluted among them, Steward Liu's eyes immediately fixed on the girl in pink.The mother was very nervous, and after saluting, she dragged her daughter into the firewood room.
It wasn't until the woman's figure disappeared that Butler Liu looked back at Xiao Lian.
Seeing Xiao Lian seeing himself, he was a little embarrassed, and laughed awkwardly: "A man's true colors, haha."
Xiao Lian also pretended to understand, and echoed: "Butler Liu has a good vision, that little lady is Shui Ling."
The two were about to continue walking, when Xiao Lian heard a painful cry from the kitchen: "Water, I want to drink water."
The voice was inexplicably familiar, Xiao Lian suddenly sank for some reason, and couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.
Bai Jiao slept curled up under the quilt, only a small bulge in appearance.
I must buy some charcoal tomorrow. It is inconvenient not to buy charcoal fire, and the house is deserted.
Probably because of the cold, Bai Jiao put the oversized winter clothes on the quilt.
