You Shi got the hot water and brought a lotus leaf bag, "What should I do with this mung bean cake?" It's hot, and I've been covering it for a long time, and if I don't eat it again, it'll be bad tomorrow. ”

Luo Xuyan said: "Take it and share it with everyone, such a good thing, if it is broken, it will be ruined." ”

You Shi was stunned, "Miss Ayan, isn't this your favorite food?" ”

"Good things should be shared." Luo Xuyan smiled sweetly, "All the way over, everyone has worked hard, nurse, please take it." ”

"Okay." You didn't say much, walked out of the wing room quickly, carefully avoided Zhao Gongzi, and distributed the mung bean cake to the accompanying guys and the nurse.

There was nothing to say all night, and when it was dawn, everyone set off after breakfast, Xu Yaoyao took Luo Xuyan to deliberately avoid Zhao Gongzi, and Luo Banghao was in the way, so when the team arrived in Jingzhou, Zhao Gongzi didn't say a word to Luo Xuyan again.

Zhao Gongzi still smiled lightly and chatted happily with Luo Banghao.

When I arrived at the door of Liu's house, the white lanterns and white cloth were hung, and the chaotic crying could be heard in the distance.

After Xu Yaoyao got out of the car, she looked around, and then led everyone into Liu's house from the small door.

"Let them stop crying like that," she commanded, "crying messily, what is it like, not crying loudly, but making a scene." ”

Zhao Gongzi nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

Luo Xuyan looked at her mother, the originally gentle and quiet woman became capable and serious in the blink of an eye, speaking and doing things vigorously, and the Liu family had been properly arranged in a short period of time.

In the mourning hall, there is a white curtain tent, there are five grains and snacks on the table, and a bowl of rice, and the daughter of the Liu family kneeling there next to the paper tile pot, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, while putting the paper money into the flames.

The subordinates who had been crying all the time were kneeling neatly under the porch at this moment, crying quietly, and their voices were mournful, which moved the listeners.

Xu Yaoyao walked behind the curtain next to the offering table, looked at Liu Haiwen, who had come to life, and nodded to the guy who was guarding the side: "Good job." Then, he whispered to Luo Xuyan, "I said in the book I gave you that after a person dies, he should bathe him with clean water, then comb his hair, trim his face, and then change into a shroud." ”

Luo Xuyan nodded, "I remember everything." ”

"Hmm." Xu Yaoyao waved her hand and asked the guy to send a wooden box, and said to Liu Haiwen's eldest son, Liu Qing, "This is a silk shroud with a crane pattern, please let the eldest young master wear it for Lingtang, remember, don't let the tears fall on the clothes, otherwise Master Liu will be restless." ”

Although Liu Qing is the son of a wealthy businessman and is used to being flattered, he took the wooden box from the coffin shop guy very respectfully at this moment, took out the shroud inside, and put it on for his deceased father with his wife.

After putting it on, Xu Yaoyao took out a nine-link ring with both hands and put it in Liu Haiwen's palm.

"It's going to be buried tomorrow, there are some rules, the eldest young master is clear?" She asked.

Liu Qingdao: "Thanks to Zhao Gongzi for recommending you, I have cleaned up all the mess at home, and I have also explained the rules clearly, which is much better than the local ones in Jingzhou." ”

Xu Yaoyao said: "The eldest young master praised it falsely, tomorrow's things will be more cumbersome, let's go over it again, right?" ”

Liu Qingdao: "It's all up to the shopkeeper Xu to arrange." ”

Xu Yaoyao asked Luo Xuyan again: "Ah Yan, I'll take a closer look later." ”

"Hmm." Luo Xuyan nodded seriously, took out the book given by her mother from the small cloth bag she carried, and looked at the situation of the Liu family while comparing the contents of the book.

Tomorrow will be buried, so the relatives and friends of the Liu family will come to see the last face of Master Liu Haiwen, there are many people coming and going, so there are many things to pay attention to. Moreover, before the burial, there are still some cumbersome matters, and for the Liu family, who has a head and a face, there is no room for a single mistake.

Although she was running all the way and was now young, she was easily tired, but Luo Xuyan held on to her spirit and watched carefully.

The first time she really came into contact with the funeral, she knew how troublesome the whole process would be, all kinds of rules, customs, etiquette, and miscellaneous matters, large and small, the person who presided over must take care of all aspects, and at the same time, she must also have the momentum and majesty to control the overall situation, so that everyone can obey their own arrangements.

She admired her father's strength, even a wealthy merchant like the Liu family, obeyed her father's command and carried out everything in an orderly manner.

With the rehearsal of tomorrow's burial, it was already dark.

Liu Qing apologized and said, "Excuse me with Shopkeeper Xu and Mr. Luo, I have already sent someone to arrange a side room and food, please go over and rest first." ”

Luo Xuyan felt hungry and growled, and was led by the Liu family's maid to the west courtyard.

Xu Yaoyao asked, "Ah Yan, seeing now, is there anything you don't understand?" ”

"Hmm!" Luo Xuyan raised the small notebook in her hand, "I've written it down." ”

Xu Yaoyao took the small notebook and looked at it, "When I'm free, my mother will tell you one by one." ”

"Good!" Luo Xuyan responded happily, and the moonlight fell in her eyes, shining like stars.

Xu Yaoyao could see that her daughter really liked this line of work, and a little emotion rose in her heart, and she couldn't help sighing. Luo Banghao stretched out his hand, interlocked his fingers with her, and at the same time, he smiled softly.

Before she reached the courtyard, Luo Xuyan saw a long figure standing under the lantern at the door from a distance.

She felt that the shadow was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while, but without thinking too much, she could guess that this person must be Zhao Gongzi.

Sure enough, as they got closer, the man came up to them.

"Shopkeeper Xu, Mr. Luo, Miss Luo." He said with a smile.

Xu Yaoyao said: "Zhao Gongzi? It's so late, why don't you go to rest? ”

"It's been a hard few days, and I'm relieved when you're rested." Zhao Gongzi said, before Luo Xuyan deliberately dodged, he nodded at her.

Xu Yaoyao said: "Thank you Zhao Gongzi for your concern, I have been doing this for many years, and I can bear any hardship." ”

Zhao Gongzi said: "The yard is cleaned, and the meals are hot, please come in." ”

"Hmm." Xu Yaoyao nodded, took her daughter's hand and walked into the yard, "Zhao Gongzi too, go back and rest, it won't be long before the sky will be cold." The process of burial is very complicated, so be sure to rest well and cheer up. ”

Zhao Gongzi said: "Okay." If you need anything, just tell the maid. I took my leave first. With that, he bowed his hand and turned to leave.

Luo Xuyan followed her father and mother to the wing room and heard the maid of the Liu family chatting.

"See, Zhao Gongzi is really the most gentle and considerate person in the world, if he can form a good relationship with the third lady of Qin and Jin, it would be wonderful."
