Lian Lanlan had already visited on the second day of the new year, and it ended in an unpleasant departure. Coming again at this ti, and now it was already late afternoon...
Lian Lanlan must have sothing important! Lian Manman pondered for a mont, then guessed.
What could be important now, could it be related to Si Lang and Yin Suo? Otherwise, why would Lian Jizu stamr and hesitate to explain to Steward Han Zhong?!
It’s estimated that the old residence over there is in chaos again. Lian Manman felt a bit displeased; today was a good day for her family to entertain guests, yet the old residence wouldn’t settle down at all.
Lian Yeye was also unhappy, frequently glancing at Lian Jizu. She knew that Lian Jizu might also go to find Lian Shouli. Especially if they couldn’t invite Lian Shouxin, then Lian Jizu would certainly go to find Lian Shouli.
Lian Shouli wasn’t watching the opera here; he was at ho working on tables and chairs.
Lian Shouxin, after listening to Steward Han Zhong’s report, frowned slightly. The noisy commotion at the old residence had beco a regular occurrence, and Lian Shouxin was a bit annoyed. Moreover, as long as it wasn’t concerning Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou’s health, Lian Shouxin was not willing to get involved in other matters.
Moreover, Lian Shouxin sowhat guessed why Lian Lanlan and her husband had co.
"As long as it’s not sothing concerning the Old Master and Old Lady, that’s good." Lian Shouxin thought for a mont, then said to Steward Han Zhong, "Go tell them, I’m still with guests and can’t get away."
Lian Shouxin’s words were relatively tactful; to put it bluntly, it was really none of his business, and he wasn’t keen on handling it. What a glorified matter that is!
Steward Han Zhong went out and spoke a few words with Lian Jizu again. Disappointnt and so anxiousness showed on Lian Jizu’s face, and he kept looking into the tent, seemingly reluctant to leave. Lian Manman saw Steward Han Zhong tugging Lian Jizu’s sleeve, talking while walking away.
Lian Manman nodded to herself and turned her attention back to the opera stage.
However, these movents startled Lady Zhang and Lady Li, who were intently watching the show.
"What’s going on, why is Jizu here?" Lady Zhang wiped her tears and softly asked Lian Manman.
Lian Manman told Lady Zhang that it was Lian Lanlan and her husband who ca and that the old residence wanted Lian Shouxin to go over.
"I guess there’s a commotion." Lian Manman added.
"It’s the New Year, can’t people have so peace? Treating quarreling as a livelihood." Lady Zhang mumbled discontentedly.
"Sothing has happened at the old residence, maybe you should go and have a look?" Lady Li said softly.
This was about calming the situation, advising her daughter to yield first when sothing happens.
"No need to go; it’s almost every day like this. If we went every ti, we wouldn’t have any ti to live our lives. My husband and I might as well pack our things and camp outside their door." Whether it was because watching the opera released her pent-up emotions, Lady Zhang’s words surprisingly bore so boldness.
"Eldest Sister, you should always be like this." Said Lady Zhang Wang beside her with a light laugh.
Everyone quickly forgot about this little matter and focused on watching the opera again. Only Lian Yeye was restless, glancing outside the tent several tis.
"Sister Manman, I need to go ho and check." Lian Yeye said to Lian Manman, "I’ll go see if my dad has been called over."
"So, you won’t watch the opera? Alright, go ahead, when you co back, I’ll tell you about the play... Our family will still invite the drama troupe, there will be no shortage of plays to watch." Understanding Lian Yeye’s concerns, Lian Manman nodded and said.
"Alright." Lian Yeye nodded, "Sister Manman, I also plan to go check the old residence. Whether my dad goes or not, I’ll still go... I’ll let you know when I get back..."
As Lian Yeye spoke, she greeted Lady Zhao and hurried off.
What Lian Yeye ant, was whether Lian Shouli was called over to the old residence or not, she would go to the old residence, gather news and report back to Lian Manman.
Lian Manman chuckled inwardly; although Lian Yeye was so reluctant to go whenever the old residence summoned, in usual tis, she quite often ran to the old residence openly to gather news. Even if Old Master Lian and Lady Zhou knew, they couldn’t do anything about Lian Yeye.
...
Returning ho, Lian Yeye didn’t see Lian Shouli, so she quickly headed to the old residence. The village was exceptionally quiet today, the streets were even emptier because those who were free had gone to Lian Manman’s ho to watch the opera.
From a distance, she saw a donkey cart parked at the entrance of the old residence. As Lian Yeye approached, she almost jumped in surprise with a gasp.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?" Lian Yeye pointed to a man who was half concealed by the donkey cart and asked. When she walked in from the village entrance, she hadn’t seen anyone at the door, and unexpectedly seeing soone up close startled her.
Moreover, this man was a stranger.
", I’m a seller of sugar-coated haws, not a bad person. Just resting here. I’ll be going, going now." The man chuckled at Lian Yeye while truly shouldering a pole of sugar-coated hawthorns, striding away quickly.
Lian Yeye saw that he had a kind face and was indeed a seller of sugar-coated haws, so she didn’t dwell on it. Because today, with the opera at Lian Manman’s house, many vendors ca to do business. This particular vendor must have co to the village hoping to make a few more sales from the crowds.
Thinking this, Lian Yeye walked through the old residence’s main gate, throwing the sugar-coated haws seller behind her. After all, she was still young and didn’t notice that the vendor, leaving hurriedly and turning into the back street, made no more selling cries.
Before entering the main gate, Lian Yeye already heard loud noises; opening the gate and stepping into the courtyard, the noise beca even clearer.

My eyes were uncomfortable, went to see a doctor, and after asking about my habits, the doctor appeared enlightened, followed by a rather "alarming" lecture,... severely limiting my daily computer use (>_
