Tong Huaqiong thought that Miss Lin, who was about to get married, and Gu Dashu would never cross paths in their lives.
How quickly that proved wrong.
Two days before Miss Lin's wedding, it snowed again in Shengjing.
The snowfall was heavy, even the local magistrate organized merchants to clear the snow.
Gu Dashu ran a fur shop in Shengjing, specializing in selling top-quality carpets, wool, and felt from Mo Bei...
A few days ago, a nearby silk shop caught fire, burning down half of it; if it weren't for the snow, half the street would have burned down.
Gu Dashu was cautious, worried that his own shop might face the same fate.
Since his shop was full of flammable items, if it did catch fire, in the dead of winter, even calling for help would take too long, not to mention where to find water in the freezing cold.
The clerks took turns keeping watch day and night, but Gu Dashu remained uneasy.
He decided to stay inside the shop, guarding it personally.
