As soon as the brazier barbed came to an end, on the second day, 'Hua' Jiu was still burning paper money for Xi Zixiao in the mourning hall, and someone came to summon him and said that the old lady had spoken, and the house had been restless recently, and tomorrow would be a good day, and Xi Zixiao would be buried in advance.

Hearing this, 'Hua' Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then she got up and went to the coffin, looking at the body that had no face, the 'naked' and 'exposed' skin was already covered with corpse spots, and there was a deep and shallow 'color' in the very light pupils, like thick ink into the water, smudging layer after layer, and finally dissipated.

On that day, there were a lot of Xi family members who came to the mourning hall to make incense, far more than usual.

'Flower' nine is still that shallow appearance, white 'colored' mourning clothes, and a white 'colored' small 'flower' pinned to the mourning bun, it has its own stubbornness of weakness and persistence, which makes people want to pity and feel distressed.

Liu Qingqing already looked like she was about to cry to death, she knelt half a step behind the 'flower' nine, she didn't count crying, and pulled Yaya together, Yaya was young, she didn't know how to part with life and death, but she couldn't cry at all, however, Liu Qingqing was ruthless, stretched out her claws on Yaya's ass is twist, and the little buttocks suddenly turned red, and Yaya Wow cried out of breath.

'Hua' Jiu received these small movements in her eyes, and her eyes were a little darker, but now it is indeed a big matter of Xi Zixiao's burial, and many things must be postponed.

Xi Huayue, who was stopped by the Duan family in the courtyard and not allowed to come out, also came over on this day, he was wearing a white 'colored' mourning dress, tied his hair with a white cloth, and the gentleness between his eyebrows in the past became a sad blue lake, coupled with the sickly white on his face, he looked a little more handsome than before.

After he finished offering incense to Xi Zixiao, he ignored Duan's horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, and went straight to the front of 'Hua' Jiu, with a guilty and sad look on his face, "I have heard about those things, the seventh brother and sister are very sorry, and I ......was not there at that time."

"Big brother, you don't have to say that," 'Hua' Jiu threw the last piece of paper money in his hand into the brazier, and watched the tongue of fire 'lick' and lick it past, and finally the yellow 'colored' paper money turned into ashes, and the wind came, so he took advantage of the wind, and there was a fine powder of soot swirling up with the wind, and finally to the distance, in the words of the old man, it was taken away by the deceased person who came back, "The eldest brother is dedicated to Qilang's thoughts, Ah Jiu understands, so Qilang also understands." ”

Xi Huayue has always been a gentle man, he doesn't say a word out loud, he is considerate and meticulous to anyone, and he can clearly feel the heart-warming softness when he stands beside him, this kind of man, 'Hua' Jiu has always felt that if he is a husband and is carefully cared for by this kind of care, it should be a happy thing, right?

Xi Huayue didn't say anything, he took care of himself and lifted a chair, and after placing it next to the place of 'flower' nine, he sat down, looking like he was going to accompany him all the time.

"How's the Ten Girls?" 'Hua' Jiu's eyebrows were half-narrowed, but he still asked this, since he fell off the ladder yesterday, the fourth lady Duanmu invited a doctor, but 'Hua' Jiu has never known the recent situation, first, Duanmu didn't want to see her, and second, she couldn't leave.

"I went to see her before I came, and she woke up, but she had a little headache from time to time, but nothing else, today, Aunt Duanmu didn't let her get out of bed, otherwise Xiao Shi would have come over early." Xi Huayue probably knew the thoughts of 'Hua' Jiu, he said it in detail, and tried to let 'Hua' Jiu know more.

His eyes condensed slightly, and 'Hua' Jiu looked at the brazier in a daze for a long time, and then said in an ethereal tone, "But it's good to come, she's close to me, and she will always be unlucky......"

He turned his head to look at the plain white little face of 'Hua' Jiu, the long and curly eyelashes 'hair' were slightly closed, and there was a slight tremor, like a butterfly shaking off its wings as quietly as a powder, and then the slightly upturned 'lips' were a little more upturned than ordinary people, with a sense of coquettishness.

However, the rare and rare sad 'color' between the eyebrows pierced into his eyes, becoming an unrelieved knot, "Ah Jiu ......"

Xi Huayue's name was Ah Jiu, not the seventh brother and sister.

However, 'Hua' Jiu seemed to notice the difference between the two names, she took it, and Liu Qingqing handed over the paper money, and silently burned one after another.

Xi Huayue turned his gaze to Xi Zixiao's body, and then there was a sigh like flowing water that whirlpooled in his heart, and finally sank into the deepest part of his heart.

In fact, he didn't understand 'Hua' Jiu, he didn't understand why she had to enter the mansion as a good 'girl', you know, this marriage is to start a lifetime of widowhood, he is a little unbearable, but he doesn't know how to help her.

The last day of the first three passed quickly, and it was only then, the sky was not bright at all, and the autumn harvest gave the 'flower' nine a little early food to resist hunger, and the 'flower' nine grass ate a few bites, and then rushed to the mourning hall, today is the day of Xi Zixiao's burial, she must be there.

The co-author is born of an illegitimate child, even if it has been entered into the family tree, it is not a little favorite of the old lady, so many ceremonies can be done together according to the old lady's meaning, then they will be done together, and it is appropriate to be buried in the soil as soon as possible.

Xiao Ji did it by 'Hua' Jiu and Liu Qingqing, tidied up the appearance of Xi Zixiao's body, put on a brand new shroud, and waited for Da Ji to enter the coffin, which was done by Xi Min, the fifth master.

'Hua' Jiu could see it clearly, Xi Wuye hugged Xi Zixiao's body, and nodded with a little disgust, after all, how could a corpse that had begun to grow corpse spots not smell.

The coffin is under the capital, the best camphor wood, carved with a variety of moire patterns, lacquer red 'color', painted with the auspicious Ruyi pattern of great wealth and nobility.

After the burial, the coffin is covered, before the coffin is covered, so the Xi family is going to step forward to see Xi Zixiao for the last time, 'Hua' Jiu looked at the somewhat blurred face, and was a little in a trance, until now, she felt that Xi Zixiao's death made her not feel the slightest real feeling at all, as if she was playing against him yesterday.

After the Xi family took turns to read it, a craftsman brought a shou nail to nail the coffin lid to death, and the shou nail was also very particular.

There are only four shou nails in total, three are nailed in the way of left and right, and the last nail is in the shape of a peach on the left side.

The last step is the burial of the coffin, 'Hua' Jiu followed behind the craftsman who carried the coffin, pinching the handkerchief in his hand, rubbing the corners of his eyes from time to time, she was followed by Liu Qingqing and Yaya, and then other people from Xifu.

It is necessary to carry the coffin out of the house at noon, and then bury it, but there is a long distance between the mountain and the rest of the house, and some people in the group sprinkle paper money, and some people take the spirit flag, crying and crying, mixed with the shouts of the 'yin' and yang Taoist priests, and go to the tomb 'cave' that has been seen in advance.

This time, after the coffin was successfully buried, it was still noon, and after all the people rushed back to the 'flower' mansion, there was still a ritual to be done in the afternoon, and the old lady said to drive away the 'yin' qi in the mansion.

After a tiring day, after 'Hua' Jiu returned home, she went back to the Bodhisattva Zen Garden to rest for a while, and she was not too late to be there when she was ready to do things.

What do you think, when she went to the front yard of the house at sunset, the ceremony had already been opened, and there was a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe holding a bell in one hand and a peachwood sword in the other.

'Hua' Jiu picked up a corner and stood, looking at it coldly, as if all this had nothing to do with her, and then a whisper of discussion floated in her ears and entered her ears.

"Did you hear? The old lady is going to give the eighth girl of the big house to Mr. Xi......"

"No, although the eighth girl is a concubine, she is also the master of the girl, Mr. Xi is good, but this is too wrong......"

"This is true, I heard someone say that the old lady still asked the seventh young lady for her opinion on this matter......

"It is said that it is to bring joy to this house and sweep away bad luck, so the grandfather wants to hold a happy event......"

Hearing such a discussion, 'Hua' Jiu lost his mind for a moment, and the old lady really gave Mr. Xi the eighth girl's rest?

Originally, she and Mr. Xi and Mrs. Xi mentioned this matter in the study, and no one else knew, but it had only been a long time, and it seemed that the whole mansion knew about it.

Thinking of this, 'Hua' Jiu's eyes condensed slightly, and she unconsciously found the familiar figure in the field, however, she looked at the entire front yard, but she still didn't see Mr. Xi's figure.

She was in doubt, when a voice sounded behind her ears, "You are the seventh sister-in-law, the 'flower' family Ah Jiu?" ”

'Hua' Jiu turned around, and saw a 'girl' with strange 'fine' eyes but a lazy smile on the corner of her mouth leaning on a chair, looking at her idly.

"Seventh sister-in-law, hello, I'm the eighth." The 'woman' smiled and beckoned to the 'flower' nine, and at the end she slyly 'licked' the tip of the lower 'lip', and 'exposed' two small sharp fangs, her little fangs seemed to be sharper than others', and when she smiled, she felt a different kind of cuteness.

"Hello Eighth Girl." 'Hua' Jiu nodded slightly, signaling that he knew, and his heart would match the name of Xi Wanwan with the person in front of him.

"Seventh sister-in-law, who were you looking for just now?" Clinker, Xi Wanwan suddenly approached the 'flower' nine, and the little fangs grinned, and her smile was a little ill-intentioned.

The eyes of the 'flower' and the nine pale 'colors' were a little darker, and then her slightly curled 'lips' were a little sharper, and she replied with a light smile, "It's not anyone, the eighth girl is wrong." ”

Oh, a chuckle poured out from Xi Wanwan's 'lips', and she covered her small mouth and smiled mysteriously, "Come, seventh sister-in-law, let me tell you, Mr. Xi will not be here, he is taking a bath in my room." ”

'Hua' Jiu was stunned by these words, and his brain didn't react for a moment-

What do you mean by "he's taking a bath in my room"?

It seems that he is quite satisfied with the look of 'flower' nine, and he is closer to 'flower' nine in the evening, and the little fangs seem to be shining a little bit, "Seventh sister-in-law, Mr. Xi, I won't let it go to you, although, I actually 'quite like' you Seventh Sister-in-law." ”
