Su Mian became the unpopular concubine of a minor official in the Ministry of Industry.
The aunt's mother suspected that her biological mother was weak, so she carried a small sedan out of the back door - and gave it to the powerful governor of the East Factory as a meal.
She thought: It's over, Gong Dou and Zhai Dou serve the master, this class must be joined.
As a result, on the wedding night, the man stood three feet away without even lifting his hijab:
"The west wing belongs to you, and the main hall is off limits." "If you are alive, I will send someone to take you out of the palace; if you die, someone will collect the body."
After that, he left.
Su Mian clutched fifty-two months' money and moved into Sanjin House in the west of Beijing.
There was a cook and a maid, but no one cared about her sleeping in the morning or dusk, and no one forced her to serve tea and water.
She began a life of lying down and waiting for death.
——Until the person who said "the main hall is not allowed" started to drop in.
Drop by to see her, drop by for a meal, and drop by a basket of oranges that she casually said she wanted to eat.
He stood outside the hanging flower door and never came in.
But on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he was supposed to be at the palace banquet, he appeared at the door of the house holding a rabbit lantern.
"Passing by," he said.
She didn't expose it.
——The palace banquet is in the east of the city, and the residence is in the west of the city.
This road is too far.
She found out later.
He is not a powerful factory boss.
He is a tired bird that cannot find a nest.
And she is the only direction he wants to go back to after ten years of walking.
---
He has never said a word of love in his life.
But she knew it all.

What does this book say? It broke away from the conventional routine, but I was so exhausted watching it. It felt like the male and female protagonists were keeping accounts, and I was also keeping accounts. Aren't they tired of eating elbows every other day? I'm thinking [laughing and crying]
