052 There are people in the shadows
Before Luo Xuyan could speak again, he held his head and ran away screaming, "Wow wow".
Xu Yunzhi was stupid, "What's wrong with Zhu Anyong?" ”
Luo Xuyan smiled and said nothing, four years have passed, and Zhu Anyong is still afraid of the "ghosts" on the wall of Qinghan Courtyard that night.
"Hey, Luo Xuyan, I'll talk to you!" Xu Yunzhi was in a hurry and went to pull Luo Xuyan's clothes.
"Oh, your worries are gone, do whatever you want." Luo Xuyan dodged away and said with a smile, "If you want to know what happened to Zhu Anyong, you should ask him, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Xu Yunzhi originally wanted to let Zhu Anyong bother Luo Xuyan, but it was difficult to say it clearly, she pursed her lips, snorted coldly, turned her head and left.
Luo Xuyan came to the shop and happened to meet Du Cheng's daughter-in-law who came to buy paper money, candles and choose a coffin.
She silently looked at the poor woman who had just experienced the pain of losing her father, pursed her lips, and went straight to the backyard through the small door.
Xu Yaoyao was counting the new batch of goods, and when she saw her daughter coming, she beckoned her to come and talk, "Ayan, do you know why your father left his illustrious and wealthy home back then, and ran a coffin shop with his mother in this small county town?" ”
Luo Xuyan said: "Daddy doesn't love that kind of life. To be rich and prosperous is to pay a lot of price. ”
Xu Yaoyao smiled, "Yes, he would rather not be a promising Tanhualang, and would rather give up a rich and glorious life, because these are not worth mentioning in his dreams." ”
Luo Xuyan stroked the satin on the shelf, the seemingly shiny fabric, but there were actually some to the touch, which was specially used for funerals for people who were not so rich and wanted to have dignity.
She said, "Zhao Gongzi will pull Daddy back to that abyss." ”
"Yes." Xu Yaoyao sighed, although her daughter is still young, her experience in the past four years has made her mature and stable, and some words don't have to be so subtle.
Luo Xuyan smiled: "I understand, mother, but this fake 'family business' has to be planned separately, after all, my aunt is not dead yet." ”
When she mentioned this, Xu Yaoyao had a headache, and it was really annoying to recall the situation before Zhao Ying didn't come yesterday.
If Zhu Ying was a boy, she would have more bargaining chips to grab this shop.
In the world's concept, men are the most qualified to inherit the family business, which gives Xu Dali and his wife the greatest advantage.
Luo Xuyan grabbed Xu Yaoyao's arm, "Mother, we have to hold on all the time." ”
"Hmm." Xu Yaoyao looked at her daughter's dark eyes fixedly, this persistence is not only determination, but also ruthlessness.
Luo Xuyan held the jar that was about to fall crookedly, and said coldly: "Mother, why didn't we end the incident when we met the mountain bandits four years ago?" ”
"The yamen went to check, and said that it was a gang of rogues, and they didn't know where they had gone for a long time." Xu Yaoyao made a note in the account book and asked puzzledly, "Why did Ah Yan suddenly ask about this?" ”
"It occurred to me." Luo Xuyan prevaricated, "From time to time, I have to go to other counties and take mountain roads, so I'm a little worried." ”
Xu Yaoyao said: "Shannan Dongdao has always been peaceful, Ayan doesn't have to worry. ”
Luo Xuyan said: "It is said that prevention is better than prevention, and there are so many mountains and forests outside the city, maybe there will be rogues hiding in them, waiting for the opportunity to move?" ”
"Ah Yan," Xu Yaoyao patted her daughter on the shoulder, "There are defenders in the city, there are people who check the entry and exit of the city gates, and there is a fixed time for opening and closing the city gates, how can the little rogues have the courage to break in and burn, kill and loot?" Don't be cranky. You little brain, sometimes you just think too much. ”
Luo Xuyan sighed helplessly, and didn't mention that she was going to go to the poetry club with Mr. Bai in three days, and turned her head to go to her own business.
In the afternoon, she took time to go to a ready-to-wear store with the moon. There are no scholar's clothes at home, the little girl's clothes look rougher, and her father's clothes don't fit her shape, so she needs to buy a set of men's clothes.
Coming out of the coffin, taking advantage of the cool weather, Luo Xuyan took the moon to wander around the street.
Waiting for the moon to jump forward, she saw a stall selling handkerchiefs, giz, and other gadgets, and looked at it excitedly, and beckoned Luo Xuyan to come and see it.
"Miss, this cloth tiger is so cute!" She held the cloth tiger and couldn't put it down, "Do you like it, I bought it for you, right?" ”
"It's cute, but this tiger-headed look is more suitable for you." Luo Xuyan snatched the cloth tiger and gestured a few times in the ear of the moon.
At this moment, she saw a tall and thin man looking at them sneakily not far behind Zhi Yue.
At the moment when their eyes met, the man whistled and looked elsewhere.
"Miss, it just so happens that there is a pair of tigers." Zhiyue picked up another one and threw it at Luo Xuyan's face, "Shall we have one for each of us?" ”
"Wait for the moon!" Luo Xuyan shouted, pushing aside the cloth tiger that blocked his vision, but the man was gone.
For no reason, no one should be following her as a person, right?
But...... That night, she went to take care of Du Cheng's remains, and the real cause of death made people more or less soldiers.
She raised her eyebrows, then paid for the two cloth tigers and let Zhiyue take them.
"Next time, I'll take you to see the real white-fronted worm, and see if you still say it's cute or not." Luo Xuyan quipped.
Zhiyue pouted and said very firmly: "Cute! ”
"That's what you said." Luo Xuyan smiled and walked into the ready-to-wear store, fortunately, there was no one in the store at this time, and she would not let others see it when she bought men's clothes from a girl's house.
The shopkeeper was an acquaintance, and quickly picked out a suitable set of clothes for Luo Xuyan for her, "What is Miss Luo going to do when she buys men's clothes?" ”
"I have to run around every day," Luo Xuyan took the clothes and looked at them, very satisfied, "It's more convenient to wear men's clothes." ”
The proprietress nodded, "Miss Luo is right. He didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that the young lady had bought the clothes, she went to the door first and prepared to open the curtain.
"Wait a minute." Luo Xuyan suddenly stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Zhiyue looked dazed.
Luo Xuyan stood at the door, looking out through the curtain, people came and went on the street, and she couldn't see if there was a tall and thin man.
She's really thinking about it, isn't it?
Luo Xuyan lifted the curtain, "Let's go back to the shop." ”
"Okay!" Wait for the moon to hug the two cloth tigers tightly and jump up to follow.
Luo Xuyan crossed the threshold and walked towards the coffin shop with Zhiyue.
Along the way, she deliberately paid attention to her surroundings, and there was indeed no trace of the man, she was still not very relieved, and wondered whether to arrange for two people to carefully check it, while stepping into the door of the coffin shop.
"Ayan, this guest wants to set the longevity materials for the old man in the family in advance, you can take him to have a look." Xu Yaoyao was behind the counter and ordered.
Luo Xuyan replied "yes", and then looked up.
In front of my mother, it was the tall and thin man!
