Yin Huaizhao smiled, looked at Cui Jingshi's back meaningfully, and asked, "So, why did you come to Jingzhou without working hard and enduring the pain?" Why do you care that Miss Luo can go home early? ”

Cui Jingshi said: "I care about her. ”

"Oh?" Yin Huaizhao frowned slightly.

Cui Jingshi turned his head and said with a smile: "When I return to Xiazhou, I plan to propose to the Luo family." ”

"......" Yin Huaizhao's eyes were deep, "What kind of kiss?" ”

Cui Jingshi noticed that his simple words had aroused his emotions, and his smile was even stronger, "Naturally, I asked Mr. Luo to marry his pearl, Miss Luo Xuyan Luo." ”

"Really?" Yin Huaizhao's expression quickly regained his composure.

"yes." Cui Jingshi said very seriously: "Otherwise, why did I go all the way to Xiazhou?" ”

When Yin Huaizhao looked at Cui Jing, since he knew this man, he had the impression that he had a gentleness and modesty that did not match his identity, and to put it mildly, he was a little weak and couldn't get the momentum he should have.

And when we met today, it felt different.

He spoke, "Still, I advise you not to get your hopes up. According to Mr. Luo's temperament, he will definitely not agree to his daughter marrying you. ”

Cui Jingshi said: "You don't need to worry about this. ”

"Yes, it's me who has a lot of trouble." Yin Huai Zhao said.

Cui Jingshi turned around again and continued to face the wall, closing his eyes, but he couldn't sleep at all.

Yin Huaizhao glanced at his back, the reason why he came here was just to ask to marry Luo Xuyan?

As far as he knows, there are several young ladies in the Luo family who have not yet decided on marriage, although their appearance, character and ability are not as good as Luo Xuyan, but they are far easier to marry than Luo Xuyan.

He also closed his eyes, and he had already caught Cui Jing's whereabouts anyway.

Luo Xuyan returned to the side courtyard when it was almost dawn, and before she had a mouthful of hot breakfast, the white steward sent someone to inform her, saying that Mrs. Zeng invited her to talk about things in the flower hall.

The two men in the room heard the movement outside, and each thought thoughtfully.

Yin Huaizhao said: "I want to come, it's the day to discuss the burial with Miss Luo." ”

"Good." Cui Jingshi hooked his lips and smiled, "The people in this yamen are quite active. ”

Yin Huaizhao said: "Don't you feel sorry for Zeng Tingshi's hasty burial in such a hurry?" ”

"Where's the sloppy?" Cui Jing looked at him puzzled, "Didn't you see Luo Xuyan and they arranged everything properly?" Even if the date is suddenly advanced, I believe that Zeng Tingshi can still be buried with dignity. ”

Yin Huaizhao said: "I think you and Miss Luo shouldn't have been together for too long, right?" You believe in her like that. ”

Cui Jingshi said: "Seeing is believing, I have seen everything she has done, and I can see it better than you." Why, you treat Luo Xuyan as a friend, but you don't trust her so much? ”

"Nope." Yin Huaizhao immediately denied it.

At this time, Qian Dawu shouted for them to have breakfast outside.

Yin Huaizhao responded, walked out of the house first, and after a while, he saw Cui Jing tearing up his clothes and coming out of the wing room slowly.

Qian Dawu stepped forward with a smile and grabbed his arm, "Look at you, you're not dressed, I'll sort it out for you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Dawu!" Cui Jingshi shouted.

Yin Huaizhao watched him start pretending to be crazy and stupid again, smiled, and went to breakfast.

On the other side, Luo Xuyan came to the flower hall, and there were already five or six middle-aged men and some people dressed as officials sitting in the room, talking about each other.

Her arrival did not attract the attention of these people, and she continued to talk, so she put on an unconcerned appearance, but in fact secretly listened to what they were saying.

It turned out that Zeng Assassin Shi died suddenly, leaving behind some official business, as well as Jingzhou's follow-up government affairs, which needed to be handled by them before the new Assassin Shi arrived.

Luo Xuyan lowered her eyes and stood by the door in an orderly manner.

After a while, someone raised their voice and said, "You're the coffin shop manager?" ”

Luo Xuyan raised her eyes to look at the man who spoke, it was the long history of Jingzhou, surnamed Cai.

She replied, "It's me." ”

Cai Changshi looked at her a few times and said, "I'll get straight to the point, I hope you understand." ”

"Speak, please." Luo Xuyan nodded.

Cai Changshi said: "We plan to bury Zeng Thorn Shi in advance, so that he can blind his eyes as soon as possible." ”

"This ......" Luo Xuyan frowned slightly, "According to the old rules, it should be buried at the auspicious time on the forty-ninth day after death." ”

"I know this," Cai Changshi's tone revealed a hint of impatience, "but in the current situation, we have decided to arrange it in advance." You don't need to ask too much, just follow our instructions and let Thorn Shi be buried as soon as possible. ”

Luo Xuyan pursed her lips and stopped asking.

The real cause of Zeng Thorn's death, he walked in the water for no reason, and now he is going to be buried in advance, and it looks like it is full of conspiracy.

If she said more, she would be killing herself.

So, the only right thing to do is -

"Okay, I'll ask Mr. Feng Shui to count the days right away. Once the days are calculated, I will ask someone to hurry up and get to work. ”

"Don't bother Mr. Feng Shui, we have chosen a good day here, and it will be set in three days." Cai Changshi nodded with satisfaction, "Miss Luo, is there enough time?" ”

Luo Xuyan thought for a moment, "It's best to have about five days." ”

It's just two more days, but Cai Changshi shows a little embarrassment.

Several other people looked at each other, did not speak, and finally looked at Cai Changshi in unison.

Someone whispered: "If the time is too hasty, the arrangement is not thorough, and it is undignified, it will not only be disrespectful to the assassin history, but also a shame for our state yamen." ”

"Yes," echoed another, "besides, Madame Zeng won't agree." ”

Cai Changshi's clenched fists rubbed a few times on his knees, and he seemed to be more and more embarrassed.

Luo Xuyan waited quietly.

"Alas......" Cai Changshi sighed, "Well, it's set in five days." He looked at Luo Xuyan fixedly, "I hope Miss Luo can arrange it as soon as possible." ”

"I will." Luo Xuyan said.

Cai Tingshi said: "Then, the only thing that is a little troublesome now is to persuade the daughters of the Zeng family to agree." ”

Luo Xuyan pretended not to think of a way and looked at him blankly.

Cai Changshi took the initiative to say: "Actually, it's quite easy to solve, but I need Miss Luo to tell a lie, and I hope Miss Luo doesn't mind." ”

Luo Xuyan nodded, "Please speak." ”

Cai Changshi said: "You said, because of the matter of walking on the water that night, Mr. Feng Shui watched the sky at night, recalculated the days, and found that if you want Zeng Assassin Shi to be peaceful after his death, he can be reincarnated in a rich and noble family in the next life, and if his life is safe and smooth, he must be buried in advance." ”

"I see." Luo Xuyan said, "I will do as you tell me." ”

"Good." Cai Changshi smiled slightly, a big stone in his heart could finally be removed, and he glanced at his colleagues with a bit of meaning.

A few words of other flattery.

"Or Cai Changshi is thoughtful."

"Yes, it's good that Zeng Tingshi can sleep peacefully as soon as possible, alas, ......"

"In this way, we can also handle political affairs with peace of mind, this is also to make the spirit of Zeng Assassin Shi in the sky feel at ease, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, Zeng Assassin Shi has done his best for Jingzhou, we can't let Jingzhou become a mess."

As soon as everyone said a word, Mrs. Zeng crossed the threshold with a haggard face, and this time, the people in the room got up one after another and saluted her.

"I don't know what happened when Cai Changshi invited me over?"

Cai Changshi arched his hand and said, "Madam, there is something on Miss Luo's side, and I saw that you were not feeling well, so I told us." ”

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zeng looked at Luo Xuyan.

Luo Xuyan didn't speak, but asked Cai Changshi to inform Mrs. Zeng 1510.

When Mrs. Zeng heard this, her face turned pale and she asked, "Really...... Is it really necessary to be buried early? ”

Her body shook, almost not standing firmly, and the maid next to her hurriedly held her tightly.

Cai Changshi sighed, nodded and said: "This is also a matter of no way, Mr. Feng Shui said that only by burying Zeng Assassin Shi in five days can he be at peace after death and have a smooth future life!" Madam, you don't want Zeng to be unstable, do you? ”

Mrs. Zeng's eyes turned even redder, and in front of everyone, tears continued to pour out of her eyes.

Tears wet her face, and she didn't want to wipe them away.

She turned her head to look at Luo Xuyan and asked, "Miss Luo, is this really the only way?" ”

After Cai Changshi gave him a look, Luo Xuyan nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Zeng." ”

Mrs. Zeng could only lean on the maid's body to barely stand, and choked up: "...... I still want to accompany the assassin Shi more and look at him more, but why, we are about to part here? ”

The men in the room all bowed their heads, as if they were also immersed in sadness.

Cai Changshi got up, walked slowly to Mrs. Zeng, and sighed, "Madam, you must be thoughtful." ”

"......" Mrs. Zeng opened her mouth, and she couldn't spit out a word that had already cried into tears.

Cai Changshi continued to sigh.

Luo Xuyan couldn't stay any longer, and said softly to Cai Changshi: "Changshi, I'm going to do something, so I'll leave first." ”

"Let's go." Cai Changshi nodded, he was afraid that if this little girl stayed here all the time, she would be questioned by Mrs. Zeng about something, which would not be good.

Luo Xuyan hurriedly went out, and the white steward stepped forward and asked, "Miss Ayan, it seems that the matter is quite serious?" ”

"Yes," Luo Xuyan rubbed the corners of her forehead, "The people in the yamen have decided, and they will be funeral in five days and bury the assassin history." ”

"This?" The white butler was surprised.

Luo Xuyan said: "What the people in the yamen think, it has nothing to do with us, let's do what they say." In fact, in this way, shouldn't we have returned to Xiazhou earlier? ”

The white steward shook his head helplessly, "Then we have to hurry up and make the tombstone and graveyard well." ”

"yes." Luo Xuyan said: "Anyway, the Zeng family gives a lot of money, add money to the craftsmen, and trouble them to get out as soon as possible." ”

"I see." The white butler quickly left and went to work.

Luo Xuyan glanced back at the flower hall and hurried to do her own thing.

At this time, in the side courtyard, Yin Huaizhao had breakfast, but he had no intention of leaving.

Cui Jingshi took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and his eyes fell on him from time to time.

Yin Huaizhao pretended to play with him, came to his side, and asked, "Did I stay here make you uncomfortable?" ”

Cui Jingshi said while throwing stones: "Your extraordinary concern for Luo Xuyan makes me very worried. ”

"Don't worry," Yin Huaizhao smiled, "I understand what it means to retreat in the face of difficulties." ”

"Huh." Cui Jingshi sneered lowly and threw the stone into the ancient well not far away.

It's not good for him to ask Yin Huaizhao directly why he hasn't left the state yamen, if he asks it directly, wouldn't it be to show Yin Huaizhao that he has ulterior motives?

Although he knew that he didn't say anything, Yin Huaizhao was still suspicious of something, but it was necessary to be less suspicious.

Yin Huaizhao also picked up a stone and held it in his hand, "Actually, I have had some dealings with Mr. Luo Banghao, and even when Miss Luo was forced to marry, I came out and pretended to be Miss Luo's fiancé to help Miss Luo out of the siege." ”

"Really?" Cui Jingshi glanced at him, and his tone was understated.

Yin Huaizhao said: "Naturally, we all understand that this marriage contract is fake. And now, with your business, maybe I can help you a little. ”

"You travel the rivers and lakes, but you like to take care of such idle things?" Cui Jingshi made no secret of the sarcasm in his tone.

Yin Huaizhao smiled: "Didn't you say it, we are so close to each other, so if there is anything to help, I am still willing to help." ”

"Don't worry about it." Cui Jingshi refused coldly.

Qian Dawu came back from outside in a hurry, saw the two of them talking, gasped and smiled: "You two have just met, just like old acquaintances." Zhao Gongzi, you are really a good person! ”

Yin Huaizhao said: "Where is it, Ah Ba is very cute." As he spoke, he also raised his hand and put it on Cui Jingshi's shoulder, rubbing it meaningfully a few times.

Cui Jingshi smiled stupidly back, too lazy to speak.

Qian Dawu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I still have something urgent, you two have fun." ”

"Brother Qian, what's wrong?" Yin Huaizhao asked, "Can I help in any way?" ”

Qian Dawu said: "The officials and masters of the state yamen have decided to go out for the funeral in five days, can our coffin shop not be busy?" Zhao Gongzi will accompany Ah Ba to continue talking, Miss Luo has arranged things! ”

Yin Huaizhao looked at Cui Jing deeply, "Then you are busy, we won't bother you." With that, he hurried into the house, called the men who were resting, and they all hurried out.

In the entire side courtyard, only Cui Jingshi and Yin Huaizhao remained.

Yin Huaizhao stood up straight and looked down at Cui Jing, "Look, I have been a colleague for so many years, but in the end, I have to bury the history of Zeng in a hurry, I have to suspect that these people are engaged in some kind of conspiracy." ”

Cui Jing ignored him, picked up another stone, threw it out vigorously, and fell into the water with a "poof".

Yin Huaizhao looked at her who was throwing stones and playing, shook his head and sighed: "You don't care about the heroes who have worked hard for the imperial court at all. ”
