But after a while, the old man came in with three sesame sauce cakes and a big bowl of haggis soup with a smile.

"The fire on the stove is out, the soup is not hot, I am hot again, wait a long time."

Smelling the fragrance, the young man immediately took the tray, "Thank you, I'm embarrassed." ”

The front foot is embarrassed, and the back foot sesame sauce cake has already entered the mouth and bites, and said vaguely: "Delicious, delicious." ”

provoked the coffin shop shopkeeper to stare angrily.

The old man smiled and sat across the table from the coffin shopkeeper.

Knowing that he had something to ask, the old man didn't say a word, only smiled and watched the young man eat.

While the young man was eating, he gave the shopkeeper a look in the way he thought he thought quietly.

Your old man is talking!

I pushed you all the way away, not just to drink soup and eat cakes.

This soup is so delicious!

This cake is delicious!

It's like giving food to the emperor!

Coffin shopkeeper......

A big roll of eyes glared back!

It's as if you've eaten what the emperor ate! Little Bunny!

Drink your soup!

Eat your!

The shopkeeper of the coffin shop hesitated again and again, and finally mustered up the courage, "Brother, I will ask you about something." ”

The old man looked at the past lightly, "What's the matter?" I, who don't go out much every day, may not know. ”

The hand placed on the table by the shopkeeper of the coffin shop clenched his fist and released, released and pinched, tossed and turned several times, his shoulder collapsed, and he exhaled.

rubbed his sweaty hands, "Brother, I won't hide it from you, the girl you saved that day looks very similar to the girl I died of illness a few years ago." ”

As soon as the coffin shopkeeper said this, the old man's heart jumped.

Fuyun girl?

The scrutinizing looked at the shopkeeper of the coffin shop, with the kind of aura that only the chief manager of Ouchi had.

After all, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop is an ordinary person, and when he is stared at with this kind of gaze, he always feels like he has a mountain on his body.

took a few deep breaths and said: "It's not that the baby is my daughter, I just thought, if there is fate, I want to recognize her as a goddaughter, I am now, no children and no daughters, just such a little apprentice, originally I thought that when I closed my eyes, this little property in my hand was all this little rabbit cub." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop let out a long sigh.

"But since I saw the baby that day, I am honest and unsteady, sleeping at night, I can also dream of my children and mother-in-law who died of illness, my mother-in-law also scolded me for being cruel, I don't know how to hurt my daughter, I ...... I don't hurt. ”

Speaking of his deceased wife and children, the voice of the shopkeeper of the coffin shop choked up.

"I leave a sip of water for my children, but God wants to take them away...... At that time, my family was poor and couldn't afford medicine when I was sick...... I'm a father...... I can't steal the medicine and don't dare to give it to the child, it's medicine, not steamed bread......"

The tears fell so suddenly, and the old man looked at it and sighed in his heart.

"Being a father, watching his child breathe, that kind of taste ......"

Wiping a handful of tears, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop looked at the old man.

"I don't mean anything else, if the baby is willing to recognize me as a godfather, I will give her half of the family property in my hand, and the other half will be left to me as a rabbit cub apprentice, you can rest assured that I will not let her serve and honor me, I am ...... I just want my mother-in-law and a few children, I am ...... I really want to. ”

When the shopkeeper of the coffin shop spoke, the old man stared at him for a moment.

Judging from his every move, every look and look, what he said was true or false.

When the shopkeeper of the coffin shop finished speaking, the old man said: "That child, although it is very important to me, but I am not in charge of her affairs, I still have to ask her meaning to tell you." ”

"That's it, it's this." The shopkeeper of the coffin shop was busy and said, "You ask what the baby means, I will live in an inn in Kyoto today, you asked her, I will go back, do you think it is feasible?" ”

The old man shook his head, "It's not that I don't ask you, it's just that it's not convenient to see her now." ”

"What, she's sick?" The shopkeeper of the coffin shop suddenly became nervous.

That kind of tension is genuine.

The old man could feel it.

After thinking for a moment, the old man said: "It's not that she's sick, she is now the maid of a big family, and she is not so free to do things for others." ”

As he spoke, the old man continued to examine the reaction of the coffin shopkeeper.

Under the eyes of the shopkeeper, there was no special look flashing, but he said with concern: "Be a servant for someone?" What kind of people, bitter or not? How can a servant be kidnapped? Did she offend people or did her master offend people, she was implicated, can she be redeemed? I have sold all my family property now, and I have one or two thousand taels, is it enough to redeem her? ”

The old man glanced at the young man, "Your property is divided into two, even if it is sold, there will only be half of the silver to redeem her, and the other half will be reserved for your apprentice." ”

As soon as the young man heard him mention, he immediately swallowed the haggis soup in his mouth.

"Mine is given by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper gives me food and drink, everything is given to me by the shopkeeper, how can I have my own! Besides, even if it's mine, as long as the shopkeeper asks for it, I'll take it out. ”

The young man fell, bowed his head and went to eat again.

The shopkeeper of the coffin shop didn't answer him.

That kind of look is very clear to people, and the shopkeeper of the coffin shop knows what the young man thinks early on.

The old man said, "She may not be willing to come out of the house where she is." ”

"It's all kidnapped, almost dead, why don't you come out! It's hard for her to want to be an aunt to others! This stupid boy, what's so good about my aunt! I ......"

Listening to the shopkeeper, he was really anxious, and the old man stopped testing him.

"He is a maid in the Nine Princes' Mansion, and he is serving the Nine Princesses, who was originally from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and the Nine Princesses went out of the pavilion and followed him."

As soon as he heard the words of the ninth princess, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed brightly.

The old man frowned.

The shopkeeper didn't notice the look of vigilance on the old man's face, and only said to himself: "Did you marry with the Ninth Princess?" That relationship is good, it seems that the ninth princess values her very much! Su Shizi's well, although I am not in Kyoto, but I have heard of it, I never criticize people, I am very good to the people who follow her, this baby, can follow Su Shizi, good life. ”

The old man's eyebrows moved slightly, "I'll ask her if she would like to recognize you as a godfather." ”

The shopkeeper immediately waved his hand, "No, no, don't ask." ”

The young man also looked over, "Why don't you ask, we came all the way here, isn't it just ......?"

A roll of the shopkeeper's eyes kicked over and interrupted him, "You know a fart!" She's doing well now, I suddenly appeared, not to disrupt her life, if she doesn't have a good time, I'll recognize a goddaughter, and it can be regarded as subsidizing her life, she is doing well, what am I going to do! ”

The shopkeeper's words, with a relaxed look, propped up the table and got up.

"I'm in trouble with my benefactor today, and I'm done with this matter, so I'll go back."

The old man was about to speak, but the young man took a step ahead of him and said, "No, why don't you forget about this matter, don't you want to recognize a goddaughter?" ”
