C28 Heart Talking

"You're here too?" The one who had turned over was Dai Ziqian. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and half of his face was covered by the fur. Only his eyes were shining as he looked at her.

"Oh …" Su Jin didn't know what to say this time. She started to regret her impulsive action.

"Come in a bit." Dai Zi Wu saw another wave of people rushing from behind her, so he carried her by the shoulders and entered the shed.

Su Jin took the opportunity to ask, "What are you doing?"

"You want to try writing a riddle?" Dai Zixian turned the lantern over and saw that there was indeed a riddle written on it.

"No, I won't." Su Jin waved her hand and refused.

"Aren't you going to hang out with your family?" Dai Zi Wu looked around her and asked curiously.

Indeed, on the Lantern Festival, which one of them didn't come out with their family to enjoy the lanterns? Only Su Jin herself seemed a little strange.

"They'll go back first. I'll walk by myself, then." Hearing him mention his family, Su Jin couldn't help but think of the memories from her previous life and replied in a low voice.

Dai Zi Shi looked at the swirl above her head, he could hear the bitterness in her words, he was stunned for a moment, then said: "I have nothing to do, then let's go."

"Huh?" Su Jin was caught off guard, so Dai Zi Wu straightened up his clothes and walked forward.

"…" Su Jin had no choice but to follow.

The two walked side by side, looking all the way. The two of them were silent, while Su Jin quietly turned her head.

Dai Zi Shi's side face shone with a jade-like luster under the flickering light of the lantern, it was even more exquisite in the light and even more exquisite in the cold and dark. For the first time, she noticed that his eyelashes were very long and thick, casting a large shadow before her eyes.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, her eyelashes moved, and she turned her head in her direction. That warm eyeball also turned towards her.

Their eyes met, she was clear, he was dark.

Dai Zi Shi stopped walking, Su Jin came back to her senses from that look, and looked ahead while avoiding him.

It turned out that they had arrived at the dock. At this moment, the various boats on the dock were decorated with all kinds of lanterns, and there were also flowers floating on the water. Su Jin remembered that there was such a tradition here.

She walked away from Dai Zixian in a camouflage, brought him to a stall, bought a lantern, and handed one of them to him.

"Are you going to release it?" she asked.

Since he had already received it, he would naturally put it aside. Dai Zi Shi crouched down and gently pushed the lantern into the water, very quickly, it floated a few meters away.

"Hmm? You don't wish for it? " Su Jin looked at him and said.

Dai Zi Shi's body seemed to freeze for a moment, then he recovered his composure: "I have nothing to say."

"…" Su Jin walked over and knelt down as well. She placed both of her hands together and silently wished that everything would go well for the modern families, then opened her eyes and placed the lanterns into the water. The lanterns floated and quickly caught up to the one Dai Zixian had put down.

"Miss Su seems to be in a rather low mood tonight?" Dai Zi Shi held his hands together into fists, and coughed softly.

"Just call me Su Jin." Su Jin stared at the two lights and said.

Dai Zi Shi's hand trembled, he silently thought in his heart: "Su..." "Jin."

This name seemed to have become somewhat unfamiliar, causing him to be somewhat at a loss.

Su Jin also spoke up, "Has Young Master Dai ever been terrified before?"

"Just call me by my name." Dai Zixian said first, then replied, "A few times."

Su Jin turned around and looked at him, "What kind of feeling is that?"

"…" Dai Zi Shi avoided her gaze and said with a sidelong glance, "It's been a long time, I don't remember."

"I still remember that feeling. It was as if you fell into an abyss and no one saw you. No one could pull you up. You could only climb up on your own, step by step."

Dai Zixian shifted his gaze back to Su Jin, who was already looking back at the river.

He did not speak, and the two fell silent. Dai Zi Wu looked at the river and seemed to recall something, and his eyes became even deeper.

"I'm going back." Su Jin said after a long while.

"Let's go."

"..."

After the Lantern Festival, it was time to start work, the two women hired had already started work, Dai Zixian had also brought the first batch of cloth accounts.

The accounts clearly showed that this batch of cloth had sold for a total of 44 taels of silver, which offset the initial 65 taels Dai Zixian had given her. She only owed him 21 taels, and after the second batch of cloth was sold, she would be able to return it.

However, Su Jin was not satisfied with just such a scale. There were still four machines left in the room. She planned to expand the scale to six looms.

Just when they were busy reforming the ship, Su Jin found her cousin Su Jin and said that she could take on the job. Su Jin immediately familiarized her with the new machine and started boarding the plane tomorrow, because her cousin's house was in the village. After discussing it with her, they agreed on a time and Su Jin gave her three hundred gold coins in advance.

"Since cousin's illness is getting better, then I'll pay you some wages in advance and buy you some food to supplement your cousin's health."

The weather was still as cold as before. All the shops on the street were lit with a stove, the shop assistant sat on a small stool and roasted a fire, occasionally calling out to people who passed by.

Su Jin walked under the eaves of the houses on the side of the street, occasionally glancing at the goods in the shop.

"Miss, would you like to buy some fruit cakes?" A waiter of a pastry shop said as he saw her stop in front of him.

Su Jin opened the lid and took a look. She nodded her head and handed over the 5 liters of money. "Give me a piece of it."

The waiter cut off a piece of the ground quickly, wrapped it up and handed it over. Su Jin took it and nodded, "Thank you."

The waiter waited until she had walked past before talking to the waiter at the dried fruit shop beside her, "Who's the girl from earlier? "She's really pretty."

"Kid, don't even think about it. Don't you know who she is? " The waiter looked at him in surprise and called out.

"I don't know her. Is she very famous?" Was it a lady of one of the houses? It doesn't look like it either? " He scratched his head and asked.

"Her surname is Su, and she's from the slums east of town. However, I heard she's related to the Dai Family's young master."

"Miss Su from the east? I got it! " The waiter slapped his thigh. "My mother's aunt's daughter-in-law works at her house. Rumor has it that her family has a powerful loom that can weave five pieces of cloth a day! Because of this, she suddenly became rich. Who doesn't know?

"Isn't it! Everyone is talking about her. " Another guy echoed.

Su Jin had already walked a hundred meters away, so these words naturally wouldn't reach her ears. When she entered the cloth shop, the waiter saw her and became extremely excited, "Miss Su is here! This way, please. " He let Su Jin into the inner hall, "The shopkeeper is waiting for you inside!"
