The empty and quiet mourning hall is so silent that even the whistling of the wind is very clear.

'Hua' nine wears mourning clothes, and binds up his hair with raw linen, combed into a mourning bun, the decay clothes are made of the coarsest raw linen cloth, and the broken place is 'exposed' without seizing the edge, in Dayin, those who wear this kind of mourning clothes will serve for three years.

The raw hemp is not 'fine' at all, the 'flower' nine is worn on the body, rubbing the wrist, only a few times, you can see the red marks.

However, 'Hua' Jiu didn't say a word, she knelt beside the coffin close to the dead spirit, and looked at an everlasting lamp beside Xi Zixiao's corpse.

I heard that this lamp was specially sent to the temple to ask for it to come back, just for the purpose of Xi Zixiao to guide the way in the past three days.

The night of the winter moon is still quite cold, and after the fog, even the vest will get cold.

The oil lamps in the whole mourning hall were dim, and occasionally the wind blew in, the flames flickered, and the white veils hanging around were flickering, and the ground was mottled with deep and shallow shadows, like terrible ghosts.

But, 'Hua' Jiu is not afraid at all, she is a person who has died once, what else can scare her. Seeing that the flame of the ever-bright light was a little smaller, she pinched a silver needle and picked it gently, and when the flame was a little bigger, she raised her eyes and looked at Xi Zixiao on the coffin lying peacefully, and the corner of her mouth hooked a smile, "Didn't you expect that it would be me to guard your soul." ”

The low voice echoed in the mourning hall, of course, no one answered, and the 'flower' nine continued to say to themselves, "Look, there is no one in the Xi family here, but you have an 'illegal' child, and you still 'operate' such a big mourning hall for you, but it gives you enough face......"

This is the first night of the vigil, Xi Huayue was supposed to stay, but was pulled away by the Duan family, and even Xi Qianqian was the same, and was walked away by her mother as if she was avoiding bad luck.

The others, naturally, mourned for a while, and then went back to their rooms late at night, and 'Hua' Jiu even saw that there were those children of the Xi family, but they only covered the clothes they wore with a layer of white.

"If I die, probably there won't be anyone......" 'Flower' nine heads leaned against the coffin, she pressed the weight of her body to her feet, and moved gently to make her knees feel better.

"Papa" has the sound of abacus beads being plucked, and 'Hua' Jiu doesn't need to look back to know that the person who came is Mr. Xi.

"For a penny, I'll keep you." The sound of the abacus stopped abruptly, and Mr. Xi paced in front of 'Hua' Jiu, and then the gray 'colored' cloth shook for a while, and he squatted down and looked at 'Hua' Jiu.

"No profit is not early, Mr. Xi, but it is late, and this profit will expire." Under the dim oil lamp, the nine long and dense curly eyelashes of the 'flower' trembled slightly, covering the good-looking pale 'color' eyes, and the 'lips' were a little sharper than ordinary people's, and the plain white little face was cold and indifferent.

Mr. Xi didn't speak, he just looked at 'Hua' Jiu, and then sat on the ground, opposite 'Hua' Jiu, shaking the golden abacus in his hand without saying a word.

After a long time, he was so quiet that he only heard the sound of the keyboard beads sliding, and 'Hua' asked suddenly, "Mr. Xi met Xi Zixiao in the capital." ”

Mr. Xi's movements paused, and then he took the abacus, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the gold ingots tied around his waist, "Yes." ”

Hearing this answer, 'Hua' Jiu bent between her fingers hidden in her sleeve, and even when she asked just now, she didn't know what kind of answer she wanted, "Then why did he die in Dongzhouyan County?" ”

Mr. Xi stretched out his hand, his knuckles were well-proportioned, his fingers were slender, and his right fingertips were slightly thick because he often dialed the plate, and his fingertips combed the red 'colored' silk silk hanging on the gold ingots, "You...... Regret? ”

'Hua' Jiu picked the wick of the oil lamp with a silver needle, but the wick burst with a spark, splashing a little hot oil, and almost didn't burn 'Hua' Jiu's hands, and it was at this time that Mr. Xi saw the red, swollen and broken skin burns on the fingertips of 'Hua' Jiu's ten fingers.

"Who?" He asked, his voice a little anxious.

'Hua' Jiu spread out his palms and looked at it self-deprecatingly, there was a deep and cold undercurrent in his extremely pale pupils, "You said, I can't make fragrances anymore because of this......"

Before she could finish this sentence, Mr. Xi grabbed her hand violently and interrupted her words, looking at 'Hua' Jiu with burning eyes and said solemnly, "No!" ”

As soon as 'Hua' raised her nine eyes, she saw that Mr. Xi's face was so white that it was surprisingly smooth, and she almost didn't want to reach out and 'touch' and 'touch'.

"If you want to regret it, send you back." Mr. Xi let go of 'Hua' Jiu's hand, and then his eyes drooped, and he kept playing with the decorated gold ingots, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

Who thinks, 'Hua' Jiu shook his head, "You also know the situation of 'Hua' Mansion, it is estimated that I am more comfortable in this Zhaozhou." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Xi's hand stopped, and he was silent for a long time before he responded in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

At this time, when it was ugly, 'Chun' Sheng quietly flashed in with a thin hooded cloak, and when she saw that Mr. Xi was also there, she was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the arrival of 'spring', Mr. Xi immediately got up, patted the hem of his clothes, and then left without saying a word.

'Chun' Sheng looked out, and after making sure that there was really no one, she shook off the cloak and covered it on 'Hua' Jiu's body, but under the cloak she also hid a small cup of rice porridge with red dates, angelica and other things to replenish the body, and the porridge was also extremely bad, almost not the same as rice soup.

"Girl, come, hurry up and drink." "Spring" Sheng stuffed the cup into the hands of "flower" nine, and people went to the "door" to take the wind, and kept the spirit for three days, not to eat oil and meat, at most they could only drink a little soup, for fear that "flower" nine would not be able to hold on, so the autumn harvest was to think of countless ways, and boiled a lot of supplements in the vegetarian porridge.

'Hua' Jiu was also unkind, she glanced at the corpse of Xi Zixiao on the coffin, immediately opened the lid, and ate it in two or three clicks.

At the end, after returning the cup to 'Chun' Sheng and eating something, she felt as if her hands and feet were beginning to warm up.

'Chun' Sheng hid the empty cup, she didn't leave, and walked to the side of 'Hua' Jiu, glanced at the corpse with some wistfulness, and then said, "The maid accompanies the girl." ”

'Flower' Jiu smiled, almond's eyes were crooked, and her whole person warmed up, "No, if you're afraid, just go back." ”

'Chun' Sheng tilted her head to the side, refusing to admit that she was really scared, but after a while, she remembered Mr. Xi who had left just now, and said in a more serious tone, "Now is not the same as before, in the future, the girl should not be alone with the man, at least she must call the maid to follow." ”

'Hua' Jiu understands the concerns of 'Chun', she is now Xi Zixiao's wife, although he is dead, but she has to be widowed for him, there is a difference between men and women, and she must be cautious in her words and deeds, so as not to be caught, and the crime of 'fornication' is to be ridden on a wooden donkey.

'Hua' Jiu then nodded, signaling that she understood.

There was nothing to say that night.

Early in the morning of the second day, when it was Kanyin, there were many footsteps outside the mourning hall, and the nine heads of the 'flower' leaned on the coffin, squinting slightly.

She was only a subordinate at the time, and she didn't care much, however, the footsteps got closer and closer, and finally 'Hua' Jiu frowned, because the footsteps were coming straight towards her.

"Yo, where are the seventh brothers and sisters, why don't you go to rest, looking at the little face white." There was a flowing voice in front of 'Hua' Jiu.

The eyelashes trembled, and when Hua Jiu opened her eyes, she saw a face with a frivolous face, she didn't have much impression of this person, she only thought that it should be a cousin in which room.

"As soon as I look at the appearance of the seventh brother and sister, I know that I don't know who I am." The man took a few steps in front of 'Hua' Jiu, and 'Hua' Jiu saw a turmeric 'colored' robe under the white shirt on the outside of the hood, which was not in line with etiquette.

She frowned slightly, and didn't bother to pay attention to this person, so she closed her eyes, preparing to raise her mind for a while, lest she would not have the strength to deal with it if the Duan family came over.

How do you think, the man is a person who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he saw that 'Hua' Jiu didn't 'want' to pay attention to him, and he actually 'lusted' and dared to reach out and want to 'touch' Hua' Jiu's little face, "The seventh brother and sister can call me the fourth brother." ”

'Hua' Jiu opened her eyes suddenly, a trace of anger crossed her extremely pale pupils, she looked at the hand that could touch her skin, and without hesitation, she reached out and pinched one of his fingers in the opposite direction, "Fourth brother? Two bedrooms and two uncles? The Book of Rest? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, seventh brother and sister, let go quickly......" Xi Huabo never expected that 'Hua' Jiu would have such a hand, if it was other 'girls' in the deep house, he would have panicked, and the pain in his fingers almost made him burst into tears.

"Fourth brother, next time you'd better let your hand be a little better, otherwise my brother and sister won't mind stomping on it with a knife." When 'Hua' Jiu said this, he approached Xi Huabo's ear, word by word, and the sound was extremely heavy, and when he really heard Xi Huabo's ear, he felt a deep chill.

"Okay, good ......" Like a little 'chicken' pecking rice, Xi Huabo hurriedly nodded in agreement, afraid that if he was so slow, his fingers would be broken.

'Hua' Jiu looked at him for a few breaths, and after confirming that he was not perfunctory, she slowly let go, "The fourth brother came over so early, presumably because he and her husband have a deep brotherly relationship on weekdays, so Ah Jiu will not disturb the fourth brother and her husband to get along, and let Ah Jiu take care of himself first." ”

Xi Hua choked, he was about to say who was in love with a dead man, he came here so early, not for her so young and delicate 'flower'.

However, 'Hua' Jiu didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and before he finished speaking, the person had already retreated to the 'door', and then, turned around and left.

There was a fool who came to the mourning hall so early, she happily went back to make up for a while, although she was asked to keep the spirit for three days, but she didn't say that she had to be there all the time to watch it.

It's just that this breath is thin, and it is really bold, or in front of his own cousin's spirit, he wants to openly tease his younger brother and sister, the second room of the Xi family, it seems that it is like that, it is good that she did not offend her head, but she remembers that day in the main house, she wanted her to be a concubine, but the second master jumped the most, here his son came to tease again, for the sake of her first entry into the family, this time she didn't care, just hoped that the people in the second room could be a little 'color'.
