"Yo, whose child is this, look strange and pitiful." People came and went on the street, Luan Qingyao knelt at the intersection with tears on her face, and a white cloth was spread next to her, on which only four big characters were written: "Sell yourself to bury your father".

Luan Pu'an finally didn't carry it, and quietly swallowed his breath in the early morning. By the time Luan Qingyao got up, Luan Pu'an was already cold. Touching Luan Pu'an's cold body, Luan Qingyao almost collapsed, I don't know how long she cried, she only knew that her crying attracted the neighbors left and right, with the help of the neighbors, Luan Qingyao simply packed up Luan Pu'an's belongings, and when she thought that Luan Pu'an really couldn't be by her side anymore, Luan Qingyao's tears collapsed again, and she couldn't stop it.

"Kid, good boy." The neighbor's grandmother took her in her arms and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, if you cry badly, how should your uncle's bones be buried." ”

"yes, don't cry." The surrounding neighbors persuaded one after another, "Let's hurry up and set up the mourning hall." ”

"Uncles and aunts, I beg you, take pity on poor Qingyao, my uncle left suddenly, and the family really has no money......" Luan Qingyao's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and everyone was distressed.

"It's okay, there is a white cloth left over from my old man's errands last year, I'll go get it for you." An aunt on the side already had red circles under her eyes, wiping the corners of her eyes and hurriedly walking home.

"Thank you! Thank you! Luan Qingyao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her aunt's back.

"Arise, child, arise." Someone on the side helped Luan Qingyao up, "I have it there too, you wait." ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Luan Qingyao couldn't kneel down, so she had to bow and thank you again and again.

The neighbors comforted Luan Qingyao and dispersed one after another, and after a while, they all brought white cloths, white candles, white table curtains, white futons and other things from their homes and returned to the small courtyard where Luan Qingyao was.

There was no coffin, so Luan Qingyao had to place Luan Pu'an's body on the door panel and cover Luan Pu'an with the white cloth brought by the neighbors. The snow-white cloth covered Luan Pu'an's gray face, and Luan Qingyao couldn't control her tears again.

Luan Qingyao found a slightly square wooden board in the kitchen, and wrote "The Position of Loving Father Luan Pu'an" in black ink, making a simple tablet. White candles stand on both sides of the tablet and crackle automatically without wind. The white wide cloth wrapped the room in plain white, and the white flowers made of white cloth were reflected behind the spirit card, trembling slightly.

"Kid, that's all we can do to get you here." Although the neighbors are enthusiastic, they are not very wealthy families after all, and it is not easy to take out these white cloths for Luan Qingyao to use.

"Thank you! Thank you! Luan Qingyao didn't know what to say at this time except kowtow and thank you.

After seven days of spiritual guarding, Luan Qingyao almost cried dry tears for a lifetime, looking at Luan Pu'an's cold and lonely corpse, Luan Qingyao was reluctant to stroke Luan Pu'an's deformed fingers, and the pain in her heart almost suffocated herself. After all, people have to settle in the ground. This is what Luan Puan said to himself. In addition to this sentence, Luan Puan has also taught her a lot, but no one will teach her anymore.

Push up the daisies! Luan Qingyao moved to the kitchen and scooped up a scoop of water, washed away the tears on her face, wiped Luan Pu'an's body up and down, wrapped Luan Pu'an again with a white cloth, tore off a piece of the white cloth on the side, and tearfully wrote "Sell yourself to bury your father".

The people around Luan Qingyao became more and more crowded, and people chattered and whispered about the girl kneeling at the corner of the street.

"Let me see." A slightly old woman squeezed to the front, looking Luan Qingyao up and down.

"Girl," the woman squatted in front of Luan Qingyao, "would you like to come with me?" ”

Luan Qingyao raised her head, a greased and powdered face came to her, Luan Qingyao was stunned, the woman asked again, and Luan Qingyao nodded silently.

"Then you come with me. I will help you bury your father. The woman reached out and took Luan Qingyao's hand. Luan Qingyao broke free of the woman's hand, and under the woman's surprised gaze, Luan Qingyao kowtowed three times at the woman. When the woman saw Luan Qingyao like this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Aunt Mei," Luan Qingyao's neighbor's grandmother took the woman's hand, "Aunt Mei, I'm an old bone, I want to ask you for something." ”

The woman smiled: "Grandma Lu, don't shout like that, I grew up watching you, what's the matter with you, just say it." ”

Grandma Lu looked at Luan Qingyao with tears in her eyes: "This child has a hard life, he is very well-behaved, and he has many talents, my wife only begs you not to let this child get dirty, if there is a chance, let her marry a good man." My wife kowtowed to you. As she spoke, Grandma Lu knelt down. The people around were all moved.

"Grandma Lu, I can't help it, get up quickly." Aunt Mei didn't let her kneel when she landed on Grandma, "I know, don't worry." This girl looks smart, don't worry. ”

Aunt Mei is a woman in the skin and meat business, which everyone knows, but apart from this road, Luan Qingyao has no way out. Grandma Lu could only show her old face and beg for Luan Qingyao, in order to beg Luan Qingyao not to get dirty.

Luan Qingyao knelt down and moved in front of Grandma Lu, and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, grandma!" Grandma's kindness, Qingyao will never forget it for life! May my grandmother be free of diseases and disasters in the future, and live a long life! After that, Luan Qingyao got up and gave Aunt Mei a deep blessing: "Aunt Mei." ”

"Get up." Aunt Mei was very satisfied with Luan Qingyao's courtesy.

"Knock knock!" There was a rough knock on the door, so startled that Qiu Tang almost punctured his finger.

Qiu Tang put down the silk handkerchief and needle and thread in his hand, turned his head to look at Mother Xu, who was still asleep, walked out of the room lightly, pressed his beating heart, and quietly opened a crack in the door. Qiu Tang never dreamed that Xiao Shunzi could touch here, and closed the door again with a clang.

"Miss Begonia," Xiao Shunzi outside the door pressed her throat, and the strange voice passed through the door panel like a ghost into Begonia's ears, "Miss Begonia must still remember me." ”

Hearing that no one answered, Xiao Shunzi laughed in a low voice: "You can't forget me, you can't forget me in your life." I'm telling you, if you don't want to make a big deal out of it, open the door and come with me, or I'll let everyone in the alley know that you're mine!" ”

Qiu Tang leaned against the door, slipped and fell to the ground weakly, she heard Xiao Shunzi's words clearly, she knew Xiao Shunzi's shamelessness, she also knew that if she didn't agree, he would definitely make a big fuss, diagonally opposite Xiwang Mansion, if it was a trouble, Boss Gu and Yuchen would definitely not be good at resting with Xiao Shunzi, but Qiu Tang also knew that none of them could fight this rootless Xiao Shunzi.

After thinking about it again and again, Qiu Tang opened the door in Xiao Shunzi's increasingly lewd laughter, and Qiu Tang struggled to control his trembling voice: "Shun Ye, don't shout." I'll go with you. ”

"That's right!" Xiao Shunzi saw Qiu Tang compromise, and the whole person was happy, "Let's go, the sedan chair is at the mouth of the alley." As he spoke, he grabbed Qiu Tang's waist and walked towards the mouth of the alley.

"Shun Ye, please wait a moment, I'll go clean up the house and change my clothes." Qiu Tang is shallow and blessed, his tone is as cold as frost, and he can't hear any emotion.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at the mouth of the alley." Xiao Shunzi knew that Qiu Tang couldn't run, and she wasn't afraid that she wouldn't come out, "You can hurry up!" ”

"Yes." Qiu Tang said, retreated to the courtyard, and closed the door again.

Qiu Tang moved back to the house step by step, glanced at Xu's mother, who was still sleeping peacefully on the bed, and returned to his west wing. He took out the whip that he had placed at the bottom of the box, hesitated, and finally wrapped it around his waist. I opened the dowry box and found the dart hidden at the bottom of the dowry box and hid it in the cuff. touched the coiled hair, brushed the steps between the hair, looked at the makeup in the mirror, put away the killing intent in his eyes, straightened the corners of his clothes, and stepped out of the west wing.

Qiu Tang, who went out again, was like a different person, his pace was steady and decisive, the spring light in his eyes was flowing, the corners of his mouth were smiling, the pink peach blossoms, and the beaded flowers in his hair reflected the whole person delicately.

"Shunye." When she arrived at the mouth of the alley, Qiu Tang smiled shyly and bowed down.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Seeing such a shy Qiu Tang, Xiao Shunzi was so excited that she almost didn't know what to say, "Get on the sedan chair, get on the sedan chair quickly." ”

Qiu Tang smiled lightly and got into the sedan chair.

About a cup of tea, the sedan chair stopped. The sedan curtain was lifted, and the entrance of the sedan chair was facing the door, and the left and right street scenes could not be seen at all. Qiu Tang didn't have the intention to look at the scenery, and stepped into this strange courtyard.

"Shunye." Qiu Tang stood in the courtyard, looked around the courtyard, and stopped.

"What's wrong with Miss Begonia?" Xiao Shunzi heard Qiu Tang call him, and rushed to Qiu Tang's side.

"Shun Ye," Qiu Tang Yingying bowed, and when he got up again, there was a grievance on his face, "Since Shun Ye took me here, why did he keep these people in the house?" Are you afraid that I will not be able to serve well? ”

"No, no, no, beauty, don't be angry." Xiao Shunzi had never seen Qiu Tang like this, so she couldn't help but feel pity, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't come, since you are here, and you don't like them here, I'll send them out." ”

"Come on!" Xiao Shunzi's face turned cold, and he looked around at the servants waiting around, "Go out!" All out! ”

Everyone knew Xiao Shunzi's temper, and they didn't dare to hesitate for a second, and they hurriedly went out of the yard.

"Miss Qiutang, how do you think now?" Xiao Shunzi saw that everyone was gone, and came to Qiu Tang with a shy smile on his face.

"Good, very good!" Qiu Tang looked charming, "Master Shun, I was ignorant before, but now I have also figured it out, you have been in the Holy City for a long time, and you are used to seeing the world, don't be like us with the general knowledge of a small family." ”

"No, no, no, I like you like that." Xiao Shunzi impatiently took Qiu Tang and drilled into the house.

"Shun Ye, you can hurt me last time." Qiu Tang pushed Xiao Shunzi with a shyly face.

"Okay, good, my little beauty~" Xiao Shunzi was tickled by Qiu Tang.

"Master Shun, you lie down, let me serve you." Entering the house, Qiu Tang closed the door with his backhand, secretly inserted the door lock, his face was coquettish, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he took out the whip on his waist and hid it behind his back, and walked step by step towards Xiao Shunzi, who was already impatient to lie on the bed.
