Su Liuer accepted the lantern, and Fang Yuanshan was very happy. His youthful and shy smile, which couldn't hide his excitement, looked really beautiful.
Youth is the time when sincerity is limitless.
Because of this, Su Liu'er should be cherished and treated well.
"Let's go, let's go release the water lanterns first." Su Liuer walked to the side first. There were tables, chairs, pens and ink set up on both sides of the bank for people to write inscriptions.
Fang Yuanshan followed with a silly smile. He felt his heart beating so fast, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time.
Su Liuer picked up a pen and simply wrote two words on the water lantern: peace.
Then light the wick, walk to the water's edge and place it on the water, and let it float away with the other water lanterns.
Fang Yuanshan was watching from the side, smiling all the time. He was very happy because Su Liuer accepted the water lantern he made by himself. Since it was his first time making it, he broke several before he succeeded.
"Do you know why I wrote the word 'peace' on it?" Su Liuer asked Fang Yuanshan beside her while looking in the direction of the water lantern.
"Are you praying for yourself and your family?"
Su Liuer shook her head and said, "I'm doing this for my husband. Everyone says he's dead, but I still feel like he's still alive. No matter where he is, I just hope he's safe."
Fang Yuanshan stopped smiling as he looked at Su Liuer's sincere and affectionate expression. It turned out that she loved her dead husband so much.
Su Liuer felt that her acting wasn't good enough. She smiled bitterly and turned her head to Fang Yuanshan and said, "I left the Zhu family not to remarry, but to be able to make my own decision not to remarry. That way, no matter when he comes back, I will still be his wife."
According to the laws of Dongling State, the remarriage of a widow is decided by her parents-in-law, and it is also reasonable for her to leave her husband's family because she does not want to remarry.
This was just the right excuse to reject Fang Yuanshan.
Fang Yuanshan completely understood Su Liuer's refusal. He frowned and said, "But you're only eighteen." Are you going to decide the next few decades of your life? Can you really decide?
Su Liuer looked at Zhu Hongan who was not far away and said firmly, "I will wait for him to come back with Hongan. If he really doesn't come back, then I will wait until I die to meet him again!"
Fang Yuanshan was so shocked that he could no longer speak. In the face of her unwavering loyalty, his love for her was nothing!
After a long silence, Su Liuer felt that she could not continue acting.
"It's getting late, I'm going home." Su Liuer smiled politely and left.
Fang Yuanshan watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, and saw her disappearing into the crowd holding Zhu Hongan's hand. His budding love was extinguished just like that.
Su Liuer didn't know if what she said could make Fang Yuanshan give up on her, but this was the best excuse she felt after thinking it over again and again. It was possible to win or lose a fight with anyone, but how could she fight with a dead person?
-
The Girls' Festival was over, but Su Liuer still had to sell her grass jelly honey, so she went to the town as usual in the morning.
The novelty of the grass jelly honey has almost passed. People's enthusiasm for new things rises and falls quickly. Su Liuer wisely controls the amount of grass jelly honey.
Although the cost is low, if she makes too much and can't sell it all, customers will feel that not many people like her grass jelly honey anymore.
Rather than making too much and having leftovers, it’s better to sell fewer bowls.
"Are you Madam Su?" A man came and looked at Su Liuer with surprise. He didn't expect that Madam Su who sold herbal jelly honey would be so young.
Su Liuer nodded.
The man took out a purse and placed it on the table, making the sound of copper coins colliding. Su Liuer could guess roughly how many copper coins were in it by the weight, about three hundred coins.
"Madam Su, I'm the steward of the Ning family in Anning Village. I'm here to discuss a deal with you on behalf of our boss. Do you have time?"
"Yes, sit down here and talk."
