Luo Xuyan looked around, and after making sure that there was no problem, she asked the guys to take good care of them, and they must not leave anyone.

Liu Rong is still eyeing her, racking her brains to find out her mistakes, she will not give this woman a chance.

Not long after the city gate was opened, several of Zeng's sons and nephews arrived with their families, all of whom looked young and talented, and bowed to the spiritual seat in a humble manner, and then whispered a few words to Mrs. Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng said, "I'm going to trouble you today." ”

"Auntie need not be polite to us," said one of the young men, "in the old days, my uncle treated us very well. ”

Mrs. Zeng was sad for a while and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Zeng Assassin's sons and nephews also instructed their daughters to stay in the mourning hall to take care of them, and a few of them went to familiarize themselves with the people in the coffin shop about what to do in the funeral.

Luo Xuyan glanced at the mourning hall where the figures were swaying, and instructed the maids of the Zeng family to prepare tea and pastries in the next room.

The maids did what she told them to do.

After Luo Xuyan confirmed that Liu Rong was also in the mourning hall at the moment, she went to find Zeng Tingshi's big nephews.

The young man named Zeng Xia, who had been polite to Mrs. Zeng before, couldn't help but feel strange when he saw a teenage girl standing in front of them generously, calm and calm.

"Girl, where are you from?"

"My surname is Luo, and Zeng Shi's funeral was handled by my family's coffin shop."

A few young people, you look at me, I look at you, and then laugh.

"Miss Luo, would you like to ask your father and mother to come and talk to us?"

"Yes, how can there be a little bit of a mistake when my uncle is buried? It's better for your father and mother to say it. ”

A few people, you say a word, Luo Xuyan looked at them, still calm.

Zeng Xia said: "More relatives and friends will arrive in a while, and the time cannot be delayed, please Miss Luo to find your father and mother." ”

"Miss Luo's ability, haven't you already seen it?"

Suddenly, a male voice sounded from behind everyone.

Luo Xuyan frowned slightly, this voice sounded a little familiar.

Immediately afterwards, the figure flickered, and a person walked out from behind Zeng Xia and the others without hurry, wearing a moon-white robe that made him gentle and handsome, with a romantic posture.

His obsidian-clear and bright eyes fell directly on Luo Xuyan's body, with a touch of softness like a spring breeze.

Luo Xuyan was a little surprised, "Zhao Gongzi? ”

Didn't he return to his hometown and prepare for the scientific expedition? How could he appear in Jingzhou and mingle with Zeng Shishi's sons and nephews?

Zhao Ying owed a debt to Luo Xuyan, "Miss Luo, I haven't seen you for a few days, but it's okay?" ”

Luo Xuyan returned the salute and said, "I'm tired of Zhao Gongzi, I'm fine." ”

Zeng Xia asked curiously, "Zhao Gongzi, do you know this Luo girl?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Ying glanced at Luo Xuyan, and naturally would not mention the false marriage contract in front of irrelevant people, "I have had dealings with the Luo family, so I know what Miss Luo can do." I think the funeral arrangement should be from Miss Luo's hand, right? ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Thanks to the appreciation of the Liu family, I recommended it to Zeng's house to organize a funeral for the assassin history." ”

Zeng Xia saw that this girl spoke decently and generously, and couldn't help but change his previous concept, glanced at each other with his brothers, and then clasped his fists and said, "I was a little reckless just now, and I ask Miss Luo to forgive me." ”

Luo Xuyan said: "It's just human nature. ”

The more she didn't mind, the more embarrassed Zeng Xia felt, so the subsequent communication became quite easy and fast for Luo Xuyan.

As long as all the affairs are told once or twice, Zeng Xia and the others will understand, and they will not have nothing to do like Liu Rong.

The voice outside gradually became louder, indicating that relatives and friends had come to the door to offer condolences, Zeng Xia knew that Luo Xuyan must still have something to do, so he arched his hand and said: "We all understand, but when the time comes, please ask Miss Luo to give you some advice." ”

"I will." Luo Xuyan nodded.

Zeng Xia replied with a faint smile.

Luo Xuyan said: "There's something going on outside, I'll go out first." ”

After speaking, she came out of the house, and Zhao Ying also came out.

She said, "Is there something wrong with Zhao Gongzi?" ”

"I want to see if there's anything I can do to help you." Zhao Ying said: "Actually, I don't know Zeng Xia too well, so I can't say anything." ”

Luo Xuyan felt strange, "Didn't you go back to your hometown to prepare for the exam?" How could you be with Young Master Zeng? ”

"For the sake of this, I can't tell for a while." Although Zhao Ying's words were vague, his face was not empty at all, as if he was not lying, "When I have time in the future, I will inform the girl one by one." ”

"It's nothing, I'll just ask." Luo Xuyan felt that Zhao Ying wanted to try her luck, thinking that she would meet her father at Zeng's house? Of course, Zhao Ying would definitely not tell such a truth, so why would she waste time listening to it?

She walked forward, watching the men in the coffin shop and the servants guiding the relatives and friends who came to mourn, although there were many people in the courtyard, everything seemed to be in order.

This is also face-saving for the bereaved family.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Liu Rong standing in the shade under the porch, and a trace of impatience flashed on her face for people coming and going.

Suddenly, Liu Rong looked at her, frowned for a moment, showing disdain, but after seeing clearly that the person next to her was Zhao Ying, she touched the plain silver hairpin on her bun in a panic, and nodded to Zhao Ying with a smile.

Zhao Ying nodded expressionlessly, and then said to Luo Xuyan: "Do you remember that Miss Liu San?" ”

"I remember." Luo Xuyan said.

"She's not bothering you, is she?"

"Nope." Luo Xuyan thought for a while and asked funny, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Back in the Liu family, I saw that she was not kind to you, and I thought that she was a person with great hatred, and she would repay her, so I was afraid that you would suffer." Zhao Ying said very considerately.

Luo Xuyan said: "This is Zeng Shi's home, and she is doing a serious funeral, where does she dare to mess around?" She should also be sober-minded, and understand that if she wants to deal with me, she will ruin Zeng Tingshi's funeral, so she doesn't dare to do anything. ”

Zhao Ying nodded, "What Miss Luo said is very true. ”

Luo Xuyan was reluctant to stay with Zhao Ying, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, it's sunny today, why don't you go back to the house and sit down?" If you like quiet, I can find you a room where no one is around. ”

Zhao Ying couldn't hear what Luo Xuyan said, but he wanted to pretend to be stupid and said: "I'm not pampered, what is this little sun?" I see that things are complicated today, so let me help Miss Luo, right? ”

Luo Xuyan sighed and said, "Actually, everything has been arranged, and there is no need to ask for help." ”

Zhao Ying complimented her words: "It's still Miss Luo who is thoughtful and well-arranged. ”

Luo Xuyan didn't react at all to this compliment, for her, it was her duty to do these things well, and only in this way could she bring a good reputation to the coffin shop and have more and bigger business to do.

The two walked around the courtyard, Luo Xuyan returned to the porch, found a shady place to stand, watched the relatives and friends of the Zeng family enter the mourning hall to salute Zeng Tingshi, and then led by the subordinates to other rooms to rest, the maids carried food boxes with refreshments, walked steadily through the crowd, and sent things into the house.

Liu Rong stood on tiptoe and looked again and again, and when he noticed that Luo Xuyan and Zhao Ying seemed to be looking at him, he hurriedly stood firm, covering half of his face with a handkerchief, looking elegant and delicate.

Zhao Ying watched it for a while and asked, "It seems that most of the people in the shop are here?" ”

"It mainly depends on the cooperation of the subordinates and officials here, after all, they are more familiar with the situation of the Zeng family than us." Luo Xuyan said.

Zhao Ying nodded, "I saw a few familiar faces. ”

Luo Xuyan didn't answer and continued to look at the people who came and went.

After a while, Zhao Ying said: "Miss Luo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to be with you for a while." ”

Luo Xuyan let out a "hmm" and didn't ask him what he was going to do, after all, she wasn't interested in knowing.

Zhao Ying came out of the courtyard and looked at the officers and soldiers standing on the path.

Today, the backyard is full of people, and the yamen has strengthened its vigilance for this, so it seems that it is better for him not to move around casually.

Zhao Ying asked an officer and soldier where the toilet was, went there for a turn, and returned to Luo Xuyan's side.

Time passed unconsciously, because the time of burial was set at the right time, so the arranged lunch was put on the table in advance.

Luo Xuyan specially asked the Zeng family and the tastes of Jingzhou in advance, and focused on recording the preferences of several of the Zeng family's most important relatives and friends, before ordering the cook to prepare lunch.

Liu Rong originally thought that since she couldn't find anything wrong in the process, she would pick on the food, after all, there were many people who came today, and the tastes were also mixed, so there would definitely be something wrong, so she could seize the opportunity to taunt and repair Luo Xuyan.

But when she endured the hot weather and her identity as He Shao's grandmother, she went to see it room by room, and the relatives and friends of the Zeng family were almost dissatisfied.

There was only one old man, who seemed to be Zeng Tingshi's elder, and he was tired of eating the pasta that was served, but before she could go up to provoke, the family next to her coaxed a few words, and several people exchanged food with each other, and the old man didn't complain at all.

Liu Rong pursed his lips and said to the maid beside him: "What kind of ecstasy did this Luo Xuyan put in the food, and no one dislikes these foods?" ”

The maid had just gone out to inquire, and whispered, "I heard that the people from the coffin shop specially inquired about the taste of the Zeng family and cooked the food." ”

"This dead girl is as cunning as she was back then." Liu Rong was indignant, and suddenly saw a figure flash in the corner of his eye.

"Grandma He, I haven't seen you for a few years." Zhao Ying smiled.

Liu Rong was stunned for a moment, and his expression revealed a little humility, "Zhao Gongzi is good." ”

Zhao Ying looked at the people around him with his hands and asked, "What does Grandma He think of Xu Ji's coffin?" ”

"Uh......" Liu Rong was stunned, thinking of Luo Xuyan and Zhao Ying who were standing together, and felt that they seemed to be a couple in a trance, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "At present, it seems that it is very good." ”

"I think so."

Liu Rong suddenly had a strange feeling, these four words seemed to warn her not to do anything out of the ordinary in the Zeng family and hurt Luo Xuyan.

In fact, no matter how much she hates Luo Xuyan, how dare she do something plainly to frame her? Zeng made a scandal during the funeral, where did the Zeng family's face go?

Although Zeng Tingshi is dead, his children are still young, and his relatives have nothing to do in the officialdom, before coming to Zeng's house, her mother-in-law warned her to take care of Zeng Tingshi's funeral and not to go wrong.

Although I don't know what use the Zeng family has for the He family, since my mother-in-law said so, she still has to do it.

Thinking of this, Liu Rong's heart felt a little melancholy.

At this time, Zhao Ying said again: "I'm going to find Miss Luo, say goodbye." ”

"Zhao Gongzi walks slowly." Liu Rong lowered his head slightly, and only after Zhao Ying walked away did he raise his head and secretly breathe a long sigh of relief.

The maid next to her felt strange and asked, "Young grandma, what's wrong with you?" ”

This maid was sent by her mother-in-law to serve her, Liu Rong never thought that she could be encircled by herself as a confidant, so she naturally didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, "No, I'm a little hungry and want to eat." ”

The maid said, "Young grandma, I'll go to the kitchen and bring it to you." ”

"Hmm." Liu Rong glanced at the door, and saw that Zhao Ying and Luo Xuyan were staying together again, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

Although this little girl has grown up a little, she thinks that she is as bland and tasteless as cabbage in her eyes, I really don't know how she can attract Zhao Gongzi's attention with that honor?

Besides, Zhao Ying, who came to the door, said to Luo Xuyan: "Miss Luo is going to eat?" ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan handed the booklet in her hand to the white steward who came over after dinner.

Zhao Ying said: "I don't know if I can have a meal with Miss Luo?" ”

"If you are used to eating Jingzhou-style food, ask the maid to bring it to you, if you are not used to eating, you can ask the stove to prepare another." Luo Xuyan said coldly: "What we eat is similar to here, there is no difference." ”

Zhao Ying said: "But there is no one I know here. ”

"......" Luo Xuyan felt that her stomach was about to be hungry and sang the empty city plan, so she had to say: "Okay, then please don't dislike Zhao Gongzi." ”

"How so?" Zhao Ying followed behind Luo Xuyan and came to the side courtyard together.

Waiting for Yue had already delivered the food, and was standing at the table with chopsticks, when she saw Zhao Ying, her face was surprised and happy.

"Zhao Gongzi?"

Zhao Ying responded: "Wait for the moon girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhiyue looked at Luo Xuyan again and blinked.

Luo Xuyan didn't see it, and asked, "Can you start eating?" Wait for the moon, you go and get a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao Gongzi will eat with us. In addition, call the painter and Ah Ba and they will come over for dinner too. ”

"Good!" Zhiyue readily agreed.

After a while, the painter came, but Cui Jingshi was nowhere to be seen beside him.

Luo Xuyan asked casually, "What about the eight people?" ”

The painter said: "He said he was not hungry and wanted to sleep at this time." ”

Waiting for Yue to come in from outside with dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "This guy has stuffed a lot of snacks into his stomach, where is there any extra place to store food?" ”
