Chapter 407: Han Shiyi's snow scene looks appealing

Chunyu laughed, turned around and went out.

It happened that Chunyu met Han Shiyi when she went to see Manager Liu.

Han Shiyi was sitting in the pavilion, tea was boiling on the stove, and a guard in black was sitting next to him. Chunyu was running fast.

Han Shiyi thought something had happened to Nian Nian.

He dropped the teacup and walked towards the spring rain.

"Miss Chunyu, you left in such a hurry, but what happened?"

Chunyu was stunned by Han Shiyi's sudden concern.

After she realized what was happening, she said, "It's not that the young lady has something to do. Aunt Tao said that the young lady wants to see the snow scene, but she is afraid of the cold and can't go out. She wants me to ask Manager Liu to find a few people who can make snow scenes and put them into beautiful shapes."

So that's it.

Han Shiyi nodded and felt relieved.

He had not been with Nian Nian in these years, but he knew her a little bit through exchanging letters with his sister.

Her sister Nian Nian always gets sick and has chills during the change of seasons and in winter.

There are no big problems, but there are many small problems.

"I happen to know a little bit about styling. If the girl doesn't mind, I can do it."

"Mr. Han, you are a guest. How dare I ask you to do such heavy work?"

Han Shi translated: "It's a snowy day, and I have nothing to do."

As long as it was something for her, no matter what it was, he would be happy to do it.

Chunyu still went to find Manager Liu and asked for two capable people. When Manager Liu heard that they were going to work for the young master, he asked his two sons and daughter to go.

"Miss Chunyu, don't look down on my Yinggu because she's a woman. She's very strong, so just treat her like a man."

Yinggu listened, her mouth twitched, and she glared at her father.

She was very happy when I praised her for her strength.

But why does it sound so awkward to say that I treat her like a man?

"Yinggu is a woman, so she doesn't have to do heavy work. Our maids don't do heavy work."

Yinggu's eyes were full of envy.

"Sister Chunyu, I can do it. I can do any job. Thank you, Young Master, for not pursuing this matter. My father, my mother, and our whole family can continue to live on the farm."

"Our whole family is very grateful to the young master."

That's why I thought of giving a helping hand.

Chun Yu said helplessly, "Okay, then you three brothers and sisters can go together."

Nian Nian looked at the snow for a while and then went back to the inner room. The view of the snow from the outer room was great, but it was a bit cold, and she would cough whenever she caught a cold.

This is an old illness.

Nian Nian's second uncle is a doctor. Although he is now a businessman, he has put a lot of effort into taking care of Nian Nian's health, but it is of no use.

I went back to the inner room to rest for a while and read a storybook by the stove.

Xiaotao was worried that Nian Nian would feel uncomfortable and bad for her eyes if she stayed in the house for too long, and she was also worried that she would catch a cold if she went outside.

"Girl, do you want to get some sleep?"

Nian Nian shook her head, "Not sleepy."

"I heard some noise outside. What are you doing?" she asked.

Xiaotao did not hide anything and expressed her thoughts.

Nian Nian was very interested.

"You have so many ideas. Why didn't I think of making some snow scenes?"

Xiao Tao smiled and said, "Actually, I learned this from my wife. When she was traveling abroad, we went to a place where the sky was covered in snow. There was a small village there called Snow Village. Every winter, the whole place was decorated with snow scenes. There were also many things carved out of ice, including the twelve zodiac animals, various flowers, and so many more..."

Xiaotao said excitedly.

Nian Nian listened attentively.

"That's great! If I could have the opportunity to travel around and see the world like my mother, it would be worth it."

Xiao Tao was only concerned with talking about herself, not hearing how her words would arouse the girl's yearning.

Then he immediately said: "Miss, it's Xiaotao who is unruly."

"Aunt Tao, it's nothing. I just can't go. It's good to hear you talk about this."

"Let's go out for a walk. It's okay. Daddy and Mommy are not here. Please don't bother me too much."

Xiao Tao couldn't stand Nian Nian's coquettishness the most. She couldn't stand it and immediately acquiesced.

"Girl, put on more clothes."

In the end, Nian Nian’s outfit when going out to play was dressed like a clumsy bear, with a thick fox fur coat on her body, a white furry hat on her head, and a heater in her hands.

Only a pair of big watery eyes are revealed.

She stood at the door and looked at the people piling snow in the yard.

Han Shiyi first built a snowman with his bare hands. The snowmen he built were not simply two bald little snowmen, but looked like two little girls.

Nian Nian was very happy when she saw the snowman's eyebrows and eyes gradually appear.

She immediately got up from her chair and walked towards the snowman.

"Two little girls?" Nian Nian asked.

Han Shiyi nodded.

"It's not done yet. Borrow some rouge later. It will look better."

Nian Nian looked at the snowmen, her eyes falling on Han Shiyi, "Aunt Tao said she wanted Chunyu to call a few people to create a snow scene for me, why did she call you here?"

"I happen to know a little bit, and I have nothing to do."

Nian Nian chuckled and tilted her head to look at Han Shiyi.

"When you talk to people, do you never look them in the eye?"

"No." Han Shiyi said and looked at Nian Nian. It's not that he doesn't want to look people in the eye, but he doesn't dare to look at Nian Nian. He is afraid that if he looks at her for one more moment, he will not be able to look away.

Nian Nian giggled non-stop.

Han Shiyi blushed first.

"Go get it quickly! The snow in your hand has fallen to the ground."

Han Shiyi finally came back to his senses.

I quickly went to make snowballs to divert my attention.

Yinggu, who was helping her brother to pile up snow in the distance, blew air into her hands to warm them, and looked at the young master who was standing under the eaves in the distance.

"The daughter of the young master is so beautiful, like a fairy. The clothes she wears are whiter than snow."

"You are so brave that you dare to stare at the young master. I dare not do that. What if the young master gets angry and digs out my dog ​​eyes?"

Liu Erlang said with a chuckle.

Previously, when he was leaving the village to sell things in the city, he saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes. Unexpectedly, the woman was very aggressive and threatened to dig out his eyes.

Liu Erlang was so frightened that he couldn't even look women in the eye.

He didn't even dare to look at Xiaofang, who had been shouting that she wanted to marry him.

The snowball Han Shiyi made was big and round, but when he pressed it on another snowman's head, the head became big and the body was small, which was very funny.

Nian Nian and several maids laughed.

Their laughter made Han Shiyi even more clumsy.

Nian Nian smiled and said, why not stack a few balls together and arrange them from big to small to see how many can be placed.

Han Shiyi was busy all morning under Nian Nian's command.

However, at lunch time, Nian Nian specifically asked the kitchen staff to give a portion of her meal to Han Shiyi.

Han Shiyi looked at the rich and exquisite food in front of him, and wondered happily in his heart whether his sister Nian Nian treated him a little differently.

Those dishes are so delicious, just looking at them is a pleasure to the eyes.

The black-clad guards looked at Han Shiyi, who kept staring at the food without eating and not allowing others to eat.

"Master Han intends to keep an eye on the food. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Han Shiyi didn't say anything, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

But a piece of fish was still snatched away by the black-clad guards.

Han Shiyi didn't care. All he was thinking about was the girl who had been smiling at him this morning.

I was trapped on the farm because of heavy snow, but I didn’t expect to have some fun.

But after looking at the snow scene for a few days, I got tired of it.

Unfortunately, after the snow stopped, the accumulated snow melted and the roads in the countryside became muddy and difficult to walk on. I originally wanted to walk, but the weather was not good. After the heavy snow, the sky did not clear up and it started to drizzle.

It's drizzling in winter, and it's colder than snow.

As expected, Nian Nian caught a cold and started to have a fever.

But there is no doctor in this small village.

Xiaotao, Chunyu and others saw that Nian Nian had caught a cold and had a fever, so they hurried to call for help.

He called Han Shiyi and the guards immediately.

When Han Shiyi heard that something happened in the inner courtyard, he quickly put on his clothes without even having time to put on his cotton coat, and ran out of the inner courtyard gate with the guards.

"Aunt Tao, what's going on? How is Miss Nian Nian?"

"Mr. Han, my daughter's condition is not very good. I'm worried that it will get worse. We must go back to the city now." Xiao Tao said anxiously but calmly.

Even if we go to ask a doctor, the journey back and forth will waste time. It would be better to take the young lady back to the city directly. Besides, the most important thing for Nian Nian is to get treatment instead of waiting.

"Okay, I'll arrange a carriage immediately and return to the city now."

"I did prepare some medicine to take with me when I went out. If there is any, give it to the girl first. Don't worry, we are here and we will definitely be able to return to the city."

Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "I brought some plasters and have applied them. The girl is still conscious now. I was worried that she would lose consciousness due to the high fever. I should have gone back in the snow earlier. Even if I walked slowly, I would have returned to the Marquis' Mansion in a few days. I saw that the girl was very happy at the farm, but I didn't expect it to rain these days."

Xiaotao felt very guilty.

But Han Shiyi no longer cares about Xiaotao's thoughts.

He chatted with the black-clad guards for a few words.

"It would be difficult to go now. The wheels are most likely to break on the road. I have a suggestion. Let's go back on horseback."

The black-clad guard said, "You take the young lady back on horseback first, and I'll follow behind to protect the rest of the group. Riding is fast, so half a day will be enough."

Han Shiyi also thought this method was good, but he needed to seek the consent of Nian Nian and Aunt Tao.

Han Shiyi turned around and went to talk to Xiaotao about this.

Xiao Tao felt that it was inappropriate. Her daughter would get married in the future. If she rode a horse back home with a foreign man now, if people saw her, it would affect her reputation and her marriage in the future.

But Xiaotao was really worried about Nian Nian.

Then he went back to the house to ask Nian Nian what she meant.

Nian Nian seemed to be feeling better, but her cough was still severe, getting louder and louder.

Xiao Tao stepped forward and patted her gently, then asked with a worried look on her face, "Miss, are you okay?"

"Ahem, ahem, I'm fine, don't worry, Aunt Tao. I know my body well and I'll get through it."

She was a precious girl who was raised by her father and mother, so she couldn't die so early.

In fact, Nian Nian also knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Compared to her previous lives where she never lived past the age of eight, she was already very content to live so long in this life.

"Aunt, let's go back. I miss my father and mother."

Xiao Tao said, "That's exactly what I wanted to tell you. The road is difficult to travel on. The carriage is slow and I'm worried that the wheels might break on the road, which will make it even more difficult. Young Master Han asked about it. Maybe I can take you back to the city on horseback first."

Nian Nian didn't hesitate and said, "Why not?"

"Aunt Tao, I'm not an ordinary girl from aristocratic family. I need to protect my reputation and choose a good family. I didn't think too much about it. What's more, I'm sick now. Nothing is more important than healing, right?"

Nian Nian said, and whispered to Xiao Tao: "Aunt Tao, I also think that Brother Han is very good."

No matter how stupid Xiaotao was, she could understand the meaning of Nian Nian's words.

No wonder when the young lady was making the snow scene a few days ago, she kept smiling happily while looking at the young master of the Han family.

However, the Marquis and his wife both said that as long as the young lady likes someone and his character is good, they will not stop him.

Young Master Han is a little poor and has no family background, but he is quite smart, calm and low-key. I think he is a good man.

Otherwise, the lady and the young lady would not both be so fond of him.

"Then you will go back with Master Han on horseback. I'm sorry to bother you. You've never ridden a horse since you were a child. It's so bumpy, I'm worried you won't be able to handle it."

Nian Nian chuckled and said nothing more.

If you talk while coughing, your cough will get worse.

At the Marquis' Mansion in Kyoto, it was drizzling and Yun Qiao was worried about her daughter, so much so that she couldn't eat or sleep.

It was no use Chen Jingyan's persuasion.

"I'll go to the farm to pick up Nian Nian tomorrow morning. It's cold, she's bound to get sick. You know her condition, she has a special body and can't stand the cold."

Chen Jingyan grabbed Yun Qiao's hand.

"Don't worry, it's not like there's no news. If there's no news, then it means everything is fine."

"Look how anxious you are."

Yun Qiao: "It's not your child, so don't worry."

The couple, who were so affectionate, still quarreled over their daughter's matter, but Yun Qiao was the one talking and Chen Jingyan was the one listening and then giving some advice.

***

Nian Nian agreed to let Han Shiyi escort her back to Kyoto.

She deliberately wore thick clothes and put on her hat tightly, standing at the door, waiting for Han Shiyi to lead the horse over.

Han Shiyi looked at his pale face and misty eyes, looking very pitiful.

"Miss Nian Nian." Han Shiyi called softly, but the words of concern came to his lips but he couldn't say them.

Nian Nian asked playfully, "Why doesn't Brother Han call me sister anymore? Does this mean he only cares about me after coming back?"

These words, tinged with a hint of joking, sound like something that only two people who are in love with each other would say.

Han Shiyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but he didn't dare to say anything or look.

"I'll take you back. Can I carry you onto the horse?"

"Brother Han, thank you for your help."

She was wearing very thick clothes, but Han Shiyi was tall and had been in the military camp for so many years, so he was in good health. He easily picked her up and put her on the horse's back.

Han Shiyi jumped on the horse.

"I need to protect you a little so that you don't fall off your horse."

Nian Nian whispered, "Okay, thank you for your help."

Han Shiyi then replied softly, "It's not a bother. For you, it's not a bother for me to do anything."
