"Snowflakes flutter, the north wind blew ~"

Unconsciously, snowflakes floated down from the sky, landed on the shoulders of the black robe, and were gently patted by their hands.

Cao Hua walked in the alley, humming the past tune, looking up at the flying snow under the lights, and then realized that it was already winter.

This winter came a little early.

Chen Yu stretched out his little hand and then followed the snowflakes that were almost impossible to see clearly: "It's snowing."

After going around, I had already walked into the alley behind Yanglou Street. The back buildings of each shop were hung with dim lanterns, bringing a few hazy light to the quiet alley.

Cao Hua stopped humming and said casually: "A lot of people will be frozen to death again."

Chen Yu trotted a few steps to the side and muttered: "I heard that there was a drought in Huaidian and many people starved to death. The Chamber of Commerce is raising money. Do you... do we want to donate some?"

When Cao Hua saw Chen Yu, who had always been an iron rooster, talked about this, he was a little surprised: "You are willing to bear it?"

Chen Yu's face was full of reluctant words: "You are Kyoto Taisui, so you can't ask you to mention me and then pay me the money. What should you do if you lose less at that time?"

It seems that Miss Shen finally recovered and returned to her true nature after walking the road.

Cao Hua nodded: "I'm thinking about this, let you know if I've considered it."

Chen Yu whispered in a low voice, but he couldn't find the topic. He didn't dare to be too close to Cao Taisui, nor did he want to be distant from the surname Su. He could only follow behind his butt honestly and take a secret glance from time to time.

Miss Shen is not tall and short, and only two steps can catch up with Cao Hua, so Cao Hua is not walking fast.

The fine and dense snow fell in the alley, and only ice particles fell from the sky. When they fell on the ground, they melted, and there was no snow.

After leaving Fengling Garden and walking to the back of Yanglou Street, it was already dark. I looked at the lanterns that looked at the stars and the figures were desolate.

Cao Hua walked along the alley to the back of Minglou, and fumbled on the brick wall to see if there were any notes left by Huan'er. He used to come and checked, but Huan'er had no information since Zhang Xiang's incident.

Chen Yu was a little confused. Seeing him stop, he stopped and looked at Minglou for a few times:

"Hey... you don't want to visit brothels, do I... do I want to avoid it?"

"No, which one of us is with whom."

Chen Yu suddenly became nervous and thought to himself: No matter what, I am also a daughter's house, so why is it reasonable for a man to visit a brothel...

Obviously, she had forgotten the incident of taking Cao Hua to the brothel several times.

Cao Hua searched on the stone wall for a moment and found a loose brick. He unexpectedly found a note today, saying:

‘People from Shu, be careful recently. Xie has gone to comfort him and do not want to kill him.”

Cao Hua frowned and naturally understood the meaning of the note. Someone from Western Shu came over, maybe targeting him. Xie Yijun had already gone to intercept him and told him not to kill people casually.

Xie Yijun left for a month without saying goodbye. She thought she had returned to Western Shu, but she didn't expect it to help him stop the assassin.

After Cao Hua wrote down this, he put the note in his arms. At this moment, a conversation suddenly came from the back door of Minglou and slowly approached:

"Shishi, rewards are also the wishes of Mr. Su and me. There is not much money, so why should you be so polite?"

"Miss Xiao Su is now a shopkeeper, and her tone is different. I thought I was going to let me out of the box, hahaha... To be honest, I was still waiting in the room for a long time that day, but Young Master Su didn't come, and you didn't come either..."

"Shi Shi, if you really want to see Mr. Su, I will talk to him, but... Mr. Su is so beautiful, yes..."

"Isn't he good-looking?"

"No, Mr. Su is so handsome...well, she's very handsome, but she's dressed casually..."

It was scattered and arrived at the back door in a blink of an eye.

Cao Hua hid in the corner of the yard wall and looked at him sideways. Seeing Chen Yu being stunned on the spot, he pulled her in again and then got his beard on.

----

At the back door of Minglou.

Su Xiangning stood outside the door and said some private words between sisters to Li Shishi. She was a little thin in a water cloud dress and smiled on her face.

After a few words, she bowed to say goodbye.

It was snowing up and down the sky, and because it was relatively cold, Su Xiangning tightened the shawl on her body, exhaled the white mist and rubbed her hands gently. Looking at Li Shishi's back as she left, she didn't know what to think about. After a long time, she sighed quietly and turned to her Treasure Hall.

After walking a few steps, Su Xiangning looked at the fine snowflakes reflected by the lanterns above, raised her hand to take a little, and from a distance, she stood graceful and graceful as a white lotus.

Perhaps it is really boring to live alone. She walks around and stops, sometimes she looks up, sometimes she has her hands behind her back, and walks aimlessly in the alley, neither too fast nor too slow.

Turning around the corner of the wall, I was about to return to the shop across the street, but I found a man in black robe leaning against the wall next to me. There was a petite and delicate girl squatting beside me.

"ah-"

Su Xiangning was confused at first, and reacted with fear and shook: "Young Master Su...Yuer...you two?"

Cao Hua leaned against the wall and explained casually: "I'm afraid you're afraid of walking on the night road, so I'll come and pick you up with Miss Shen."

“That’s right….”

Su Xiangning turned around and looked at Shibaotang, which was close to the street, and looked at Chen Yu with an awkward expression.

A lonely man and a widow, in the alley at night...

Su Xiangning's face looked strange, obviously she was thinking wrongly.

Cao Hua was quite helpless: "Don't think about it, I'm not as hungry as I can eat."

Chen Yu nodded quickly, but he immediately reacted.

Hungry and eat?

Chen Yu glared at her eyes, and said angrily: "My surname is Su, what do you mean?"

Cao Hua coughed and pretended that nothing happened.

Su Xiangning knew that the two of them had a bickering and quickly changed the topic: "It's cold outside, I'm going into the house to talk... Just now, Shishi mentioned the reward again, and she wanted to see you in her words..."

"It's not convenient, I'll go see her when I have the chance..."

Cao Hua chatted casually with her and came to the account room on the second floor of Shibaotang.

Chen Yu did not dare to disturb Cao Taisui's Yaxing. He hurried to the bedroom on the third floor to hide on the grounds of being asleep.

Su Xiangning brought a pot of tea, sat down at the small table, talking about what was happening in the shop, and occasionally looking at the snowflakes outside the window.

The side face is beautiful, but it is a bit dazed.

Cao Hua was holding hot tea and was thinking about what happened today. Seeing that she looked wrong, she asked:

"What's wrong with Miss Su? Are you worried?"

Su Xiang pondered for a little while, but shook her head and chuckled: "I just miss home. When I was a child, I often lie on the windowsill to watch on the snow. I thought I had been used to it for so many years, but for some reason, the snow this year looks very beautiful."

I used to be under the throne of others, but now I have settled down and have a small business of my own. When I think back to my childhood, I feel different.

Cao Hua thought for a while: "What did your family experience before?"

“Nothing…”

Su Xiang gently brushed her hair in her ears with a faint voice: "It's all things from the past, nothing to mention."

Cao Hua didn't ask much, and looked at the neatly packed account room, but unexpectedly found a picture album on the table, which was opened with a sentence written on it:
Chapter completed!
