109 The Problem of Jade

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the funeral, but fortunately, Luo Xuyan arranged everything, and the funeral procession came to the cemetery outside the city, and the coffin of Zeng Assassin Shi was buried in the loess safely and rested here.

Back at the state yamen, Luo Xuyan asked the family members of Zeng Assassin to change into gray mourning clothes, and asked the master in the temple to continue chanting for the souls of the dead in front of the mourning hall.

Although Zeng Tingshi was buried, she couldn't go home for the time being, because the round grave ceremony would be held three days later, and when she went to the cemetery again, the affairs of the Zeng family would have nothing to do with her.

She returned to the side courtyard, stretched her waist, and sighed, "I can finally take a good rest." ”

Waiting for Yue smiled: "Miss Ayan, why don't we take the opportunity to go out and have fun?" I see that there are things in Jingzhou City that are not fun and delicious. ”

"You," Luo Xuyan tapped the tip of her pen lightly, "It's been a few days since Zeng Tingshi's death, so it's better for us to keep a low profile." ”

Zhiyue thought for a while, "What Miss Ayan said is also right, I'm afraid that Aba is going to make trouble." ”

"Then stuff him with more delicious snacks, doesn't he like to eat very much?" Luo Xuyan smiled, and gradually, she saw that Cui Jing didn't seem to be able to eat snacks anymore, but in order to continue to play a fool, he had to be force-stuffed.

In the house, Cui Jingshi, who heard the word "dim sum", immediately covered his mouth and almost vomited.

Spare him!

Waiting for Yue said: "I've been ordering and eating for so many days, I think I should be tired of it, I'll go see if there is anything else delicious." ”

Cui Jingshi patted his chest, or the girl who waited for the moon would take care of people.

Luo Xuyan said: "No, I just think the dim sum is very good." Who is going to be tired of dim sum crooked? Look at Ah Ba, how fragrant is the food? ”

"......" Cui Jingshi raised his eyes to look at the roof beams.

Zhiyue said: "Okay, listen to Miss Ayan!" ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan patted her on the shoulder, "You buy more snacks, I want to eat them too." ”

"Okay!" Zhiyue held Luo Xuyan's arm, and the two walked to the wing room together, "Miss Ayan, can you rest for a while?" ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan turned her head sideways, looked at the room where Cui Jing was, and entered the room with a smile.

I didn't hear any more talking, Cui Jingshi leaned against the wall helplessly and let out a long sigh.

Luo Xuyan, this little girl!

Cui Jingshi rubbed his eyebrows, and then smiled.

As a "fool", isn't it good to make a fuss and not eat snacks?

Although they have been in shifts with Bai Butler and Qian Dawu in the past few days, they have taken turns to stay in the mourning hall or deal with various things, but because of the complexity of things, they have not been able to sleep well in the end.

And now, Zeng Tingshi was buried in advance, and all the big and small things were over, and only a round tomb ceremony remained, in fact, it was enough to leave Qian Dawu or other coffin shop guys to preside, but in order to leave a good impression on the Zeng family and the officials in Jingzhou, she decided to stay until the end, but as soon as she lay on the bed, she felt that she could close her eyes peacefully and not have to worry about anything going wrong.

This night, she slept quite steadily, she didn't even dream, and when she called her up to wait for the moon, she felt comfortable and in good spirits.

It seems to have eased up.

Luo Xuyan looked out the window and asked, "I can't sleep all night, right?" ”

Waiting for Yue smiled: "Yes, I originally wanted to call Miss to get up and eat, but seeing that you slept soundly, I couldn't bear to call you up." Miss Ayan, how did you sleep? ”

"It's good." Luo Xuyan put on her shoes and straightened her clothes, a little sorry that she didn't see the miserable situation of Cui Jingshi's dim sum, "You all ate that dim sum?" ”

"Divide it among the people." Zhiyue said: "This Ah Ba is also strange, he refuses to eat dim sum, Miss Ah Yan, he is really tired of eating." So I asked everyone to eat more. ”

"......" Luo Xuyan snorted coldly: "It seems that I am going to ask Ah Ba to compensate us a sum of money." ”

"What money?" Zhiyue asked curiously.

"The money to support him." Luo Xuyan said: "He is not from our coffin shop, and it is not a matter of course to raise him." As she spoke, she took the warm towel from the hand of the moon and carefully washed her face.

Waiting for Yue to cover her mouth and smile: "Then you have to find his family first?" ”

"I'll find it soon." Luo Xuyan thought that they would be able to leave the Zeng family in three days, and couldn't help but smile.

Waiting for Yue asked puzzledly, "Miss Ayan, are you so sure?" ”

Luo Xuyan nodded, "Yes, I'm sure." ”

"Huh?" Zhiyue grabbed her hair, carefully recalled what Luo Xuyan had done these days, and after thinking about it, she didn't find that Luo Xuyan could spare time to care about Ah Ba's family.

Luo Xuyan freshened up, took Yue seriously and said: "This matter is still uncertain, so don't tell Ah Ba first, lest you make him happy in vain, and finally cry with us and quarrel to death." ”

"I see." Zhiyue picked up the comb, stood behind her, and combed her hair.

Luo Xuyan picked up the small jewelry box and looked at the contents inside, except for the plain velvet flowers and jade hairpins, it was the jade plate engraved with the word "Jing".

Because of the complicated things in the past few days, she has been busy coming and going, she is afraid that she will accidentally lose the jade plate, so she took it out and put it in a small jewelry box.

She picked up the jade plaque, placed it in her palm and looked at it.

The sunlight falls on the transparent and crystalline jade, reflecting the warm brilliance, which is very beautiful.

When Zhiyue saw her take out the jade plate, she asked, "Miss Ayan, do you want to wear this jade today?" This jade plate is light in color, very elegant, and it's okay to wear it. ”

Luo Xuyan said: "No, I'll take a look." ”

Waiting for Yue to continue combing her hair, her fingers dexterously pulled her long black hair into a small bun, and then added a hosta.

Luo Xuyan was still looking at the jade card, recalling that this jade card was forcibly brought over by Ah Ba from Xu Yunzhi, why did he have to take this jade card back? If you value the value of this jade plate or something, it makes no sense to transfer it to her again.

Moreover, she has to take it with her, and she can't leave it.

Although a jade plate is valuable, there is nothing out of the ordinary, why do you have to stay on her?

Luo Xuyan couldn't understand why the man did this.

"Miss Ayan, it's done." At this time, Zhiyue said, putting down the small wooden comb, "I'll bring you breakfast." ”

"Wait for the moon," Luo Xuyan stopped her, "Have you eaten everyone?" ”

Waiting for Yue said: "The white steward and Brother Dawu have all eaten, and Ah Ba is still getting up slowly, but he hasn't eaten, and Zhao Gongzi doesn't seem to have either." By the way, Ah Ba has always looked at Zhao Gongzi unpleasantly, and he didn't let Zhao Gongzi enter his house. I've been busy these days, and I forgot to mention it to you. ”

"What's the conflict?" Luo Xuyan was stunned for a moment, she was so busy these days that she only cared about the man being trapped in the side courtyard and couldn't get out, but she didn't notice that he couldn't get along with Zhao Ying?

Zhiyue said: "I don't know, Ah Ba just doesn't like Zhao Gongzi, and he doesn't want to be with him anymore." No matter how I persuade him, it's useless, I think that Zhao Gongzi is such a good person, and it is impossible to bully Ah Ba? Could it be that the two of them don't get along? ”

"Poof," Luo Xuyan smiled softly, "This Ah Ba is really getting more and more interesting." ”

"Getting interesting?" I don't understand it anymore.

Luo Xuyan said: "Since they haven't eaten yet, let's have breakfast together, so as not to have to put dishes and chopsticks everywhere and trouble cleaning up." ”

"Okay." Waiting for the moon to trot out.

Luo Xuyan's fingers hooked the rope on the jade plate, then raised it, facing the sun, and looked at the jade plate carefully.

After a while, the sound of waiting for the moon sounded in the courtyard, calling the two to have breakfast.

Luo Xuyan lowered her hand, tied the jade plate around her waist, and then walked out of the wing room and came to the stove without hurrying.

Waiting for the moon has already set up breakfast, the mung bean porridge that has been cooled, a few hot white steamed buns and big meat buns, and a few side dishes, bursts of aroma came to the nose, making Luo Xuyan finally realize that she was hungry.

She sat down at the table, served herself a bowl of mung bean porridge, and just took a bite, Cui Jingshi and Yin Huaizhao came in one after the other.

As soon as Cui Jingshi entered the house, the ghost envoy saw the jade plaque hanging from Luo Xuyan's waist.

His eyelids jumped, remembering that Luo Xuyan hadn't worn the jade card these days, and he thought that she had to handle the funeral and was not easy to dress up, so he didn't pester her to ask about the jade card.

Seeing that she put it back on now, she should remember what he said before?

Cui Jingshi thought of this, and his melancholy mood because of Yin Huaizhao finally improved.

He sat down at the table with brisk steps, picked up chopsticks, and looked at Luo Xuyan with blank eyes.

She looked very elegant when eating porridge, slowly scooped a spoonful, her rosy lips like cherries opened slightly, and she drank the porridge carefully.

Luo Xuyan knew that Cui Jing was looking at herself, but she still drank porridge unhurriedly.

Yin Huaizhao coughed lightly when he saw Cui Jing like this.

It stands to reason that Cui Jing's temperament was not like this, but how can he look like a disciple now?

Cui Jingshi pretended not to hear Yin Huaizhao's deliberate cough, and continued to open a pair of eyes wide, looking straight at Luo Xuyan, like a chick waiting for a big bird to feed.

A sneer slipped through the corners of Yin Huaizhao's mouth, and he picked up the empty bowl in front of Cui Jingshi, "Ah Ba, what do you want to eat?" Shall I give it to you? ”

"I don't want it!" Cui Jingshi shouted, he didn't look at Yin Huaizhao, and he hated this guy very much that he was in a bad mood now.

Yin Huaizhao said: "I remember, you just shouted that you were starving to death, why don't you care about eating delicious food now, but only care about watching Miss Luo?" ”

Waiting for Yue said: "Is there something Ah Ba wants to ask Miss Ah Yan for?" ”

Cui Jingshi pointed to the jade card and said, "Sister Ayan has put it on again!" ”

Luo Xuyan lowered her eyes and looked at the jade plate, and asked quietly: "I haven't worn it for a few days, why don't you quarrel with me?" I distinctly remember that you had to wear it all the time. ”

"......" Cui Jingshi "chuckled" in his heart, he only thought about the jade card from the perspective of a normal person, but forgot that Ah Ba was a fool!

Luo Xuyan saw that he didn't speak, and asked, "What's the matter, Ah Ba?" ”

When Yin Huaizhao saw it, he couldn't help but feel funny, and waited slowly for Cui Jing to solve this dilemma.

Cui Jingshi grabbed his hair indiscriminately, and his eyes widened innocently, "Did I say this?" ”

"Don't you remember?" Luo Xuyan asked.

Cui Jingshi blinked a few times and frowned, as if he was meditating, "...... I don't remember......"

Yin Huaizhao was about to burst out laughing, he pursed his lips, picked up a white steamed bun, and stuffed it into himself, so he didn't really laugh.

Luo Xuyan raised her eyebrows, took off the jade plaque, held it up in front of Cui Jingshi, and asked, "Speaking of which, why did you like this jade plaque so much in the first place?" Do you have to snatch it from Xu Yunzhi's hands? ”

"I ......" Cui Jing is stupid.

Yin Huaizhao glanced at it casually, and when he saw the appearance of the jade plaque clearly, the steamed bun that was just about to swallow almost choked himself, and after swallowing the steamed bun with great effort, he looked at Cui Jing in disbelief.

He actually gave this thing to Luo Xuyan?!

Could it be that he is sincere to Luo Xuyan?

At this time, Cui Jingshi spoke, "I just like it?" And...... Didn't you agree to give it to me, so I didn't steal it. ”

The child-like tone made him look particularly innocent, and even in the eyes of the moon, there was still a little cuteness, she picked up his bowl and filled a large bowl of mung bean porridge.

"You just like it?" Luo Xuyan narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly, "You really like this jade plate." ”

"Who doesn't like nice things?" Cui Jingshi felt that this sentence was very meaningful, and asked blankly: "That's what my mother said?" ”

Luo Xuyan understood that the words couldn't be put out, with a flick of her wrist, she grabbed the jade plate, and did not tie it back to her waist, but stuffed it into her arms, "Yes, your mother is right, everyone likes beautiful things." ”

Cui Jingshi glanced at Yin Huaizhao's face, and smiled stupidly: "I also like Sister Ayan." ”

...... "If this man was really a fool, Luo Xuyan would probably laugh, but she knew that he wasn't, so this sentence sounded to her......

Of the four people in the room, only Zhiyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss Ayan, Aba is really cute!" ”

Yin Huaizhao said in a deep voice: "This is not something that is said casually. ”

Don't you think, "Ah Ba, you're still a child, and you're a child?" ”

Luo Xuyan finished eating the mung bean gruel in the bowl in one go, picked up another meat bun, and then got up and walked out, "I'll go out for a walk." ”

Zhiyue asked, "Miss Ayan, where are you going?" ”

"Just walk around and eat." Luo Xuyan felt that she had to ease her mood, and walked out without looking back.

When Yin Huaizhao looked at Cui Jing, there was a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it's not fake at all.

This person is too anxious now, but something is wrong, right?

Cui Jingshi didn't see his eyes, took a meat bun and ate it deliciously.
