The fastest update of the latest chapter of the blessed wife is hard to find!
The mourning hall was full of people, and it was not until the time of the day that it was quiet.
On the first night, Mrs. Zeng took a pair of children to stay in front of the spirit, and bowed in front of the spirit, so she asked the nurse to take the young master back to rest, and she continued to kneel on the soft cushion, looking at the light smoke on the candle flame stupidly, and wiping the corners of her eyes from time to time.
After Luo Xuyan gave instructions on the things during the day, she walked into the mourning hall lightly.
She glanced at Madame Zeng, and with a twist of footsteps, slipped behind the curtain.
Although her steps were as light as a kitten and came silently, Cui Jingshi would still find her arrival through the swaying figure on the ground, leaning against the pillar, tilting her head, and pretending to be asleep.
Luo Xuyan took a closer look, this guy's eyes were closed, I don't know if he dreamed of something delicious, his mouth opened slightly, and the corners of his mouth were ...... It seems that saliva is about to come out.
"......" She gently pushed Cui Jingshi's shoulder, and called in a low voice: "Ah Ba? ”
Cui Jing didn't react at all, and even licked his lips, as if he was reminiscing about the okay in his dream.
Luo Xuyan tilted her head and glanced at Mrs. Zeng and several subordinates of the Zeng family not far away, she didn't dare to make any movement, she thought about it, and simply sat next to Cui Jingshi.
"Ahba?" She leaned into his ear, put her hand over her mouth, and shouted again.
Cui Jing didn't move at all, made up his mind and ignored her.
Luo Xuyan sighed lightly, and also leaned her back against the pillar, relaxing for the time being.
As soon as the carriage and horses arrived in Jingzhou, they were busy taking care of Zeng Tingshi's funeral, and the only gap in the middle was to sit down and eat a few bites of food, and only now can they take a breath and take a good rest.
She kneaded her aching legs and feet, and her mind habitually pondered what would happen after dawn.
Suddenly, her shoulders sank, and when she squinted, it turned out to be Cui Jingshi's head tilted on her shoulder.
"It's really ......" Luo Xuyan didn't know what to say, raised his hand to hold his head, and then sat down next to him, fortunately there was a wide enough curtain to block it, and no one else could notice that they were sitting here.
Cui Jing paid attention to the breathing of the people around him, time passed little by little, and as the night deepened, most of them were sleepy, and gradually they couldn't support it.
The maid who was guarding the brazier drooped her head, her shoulders trembled coldly, and she woke up in shock, and saw that the flames in the brazier were already weak, so she quickly took a few pieces of paper money, carefully lit them, and put them in the brazier.
The flames regained their vigor, and she stole a glance at the others, and pinched her thighs fiercely, but she couldn't stop the sleepiness from coming, and after putting the paper money a few more times, her eyelids closed heavily.
And the others were not much better, only Mrs. Zeng looked at the spirit card with a pair of red eyes without blinking.
A woman walked in from outside, came to Mrs. Zeng's side lightly, and said, "Madam, Ming'er still has a lot of miscellaneous things, and you also have to take care of your own body." Go and rest for a while, and the slave will keep watch over you. ”
Mrs. Zeng turned her head for a while, and when she saw that it was Aunt Feng, she nodded and said, "You must be careful." ”
"Slaves will, don't worry." Aunt Feng bowed her head and replied.
This Aunt Feng was originally Mrs. Zeng's dowry maid, and later because Mrs. Zeng had never given birth to children, she was taken away Aunt Feng Later, Aunt Feng gave birth to Zeng Thornshi's first son, but she still served Mrs. Zeng obediently and wholeheartedly, and never had the slightest arrogance and willfulness, so she has always been loved by Mrs. Zeng, so she was relieved to leave her to guard the mourning hall for herself.
When the maid next to her heard the voice, she woke up suddenly, and her sleepiness was gone for a moment, and she carefully helped Mrs. Zeng to leave the mourning hall.
Cui Jingshi felt a trace of irritability in his heart, he had been waiting quietly for a day, originally wanted to seize the opportunity when everyone was drowsy in the middle of the night, and sneaked to Zeng Tingshi's side to find out, but now the person in exchange for it listens to the voice, and his spirit is good, I'm afraid he won't doze off.
His eyes quietly opened a slit, and when the daughter of the Zeng family was talking just now, Luo Xuyan's breathing was still steady and shallow, and she seemed to be asleep.
Also, how big can a teenage girl be so spiritual that she can go without sleeping for ten hours in a row?
He thought about it, leaned to the side again, and gradually approached Luo Xuyan.
When the warm bodies touched, Luo Xuyan didn't react at all, and he was happy in his heart.
But then, a slap was given on his arm, and he was pushed back.
"Wake up, Aba!" Luo Xuyan shouted in a low voice.
Cui Jingshi leaned to the other side and continued to sleep.
"......" Luo Xuyan frowned, and there was a rustling sound in front of the table, followed by Aunt Feng's questioning-
"Who's there?"
When Luo Xuyan glared at Cui Jing, who looked like a dead pig, she stood out generously and bowed slightly, "Aunt Feng, I am from the coffin shop, and I will follow you to guard the mourning hall tonight, so that I can take care of it." ”
Aunt Feng recognized her and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Luo." ”
"It doesn't matter." Luo Xuyan owed again, and after Aunt Feng turned her head and continued to burn paper, she turned back behind the curtain.
She rubbed her eyebrows, if she had enough strength, she couldn't wait to carry this "dead pig" right now and quickly slip back to the side courtyard to the west, which was where the Zeng family arranged for everyone to rest.
However, she didn't have so much strength, so she had no choice but to sit down next to Cui Jingshi again.
Cui Jingshi listened to the movement next to him, and when there was only a small sound of the tongue of fire devouring the paper money, he opened his eyes slightly again.
When he fell down, he could peer through a small gap between the curtain and the ground to peek out at the offering table.
Although Aunt Feng was in front of her, the exhausted people still showed sleepiness, and their eyelids kept fighting. And Aunt Feng didn't seem to notice this, after changing the candles, there was a pile of value missing, and then she took a string of Buddhist beads, closed her eyes, and silently read something.
Cui Jingshi pondered that with his current skills, he was enough to quietly sweep behind the offering table without anyone in the room noticing.
The portrait and the white gauze tent hung between the offering table and the mourning bed, and the darkness of the night was so deep that only a few candles were not enough to illuminate the situation behind the white gauze tent, which could give him an excellent cover.
But the only thing that gave him a headache was Luo Xuyan, and several times of temptation showed that she didn't sleep at all.
Even though she kept her eyes closed, she just didn't fall asleep.
How strong is this girl's concentration? Cui Jingshi wanted to sigh.
Now he can only wait, when Luo Xuyan goes out, or really falls asleep, he will act again.
He didn't believe that this girl could really last until dawn!
Just as he was thinking about things, a series of footsteps from far and near sounded outside, and then several maids bent down and respectfully walked into the mourning hall.
Luo Xuyan got up and went out, and said to Aunt Feng, who was puzzled: "This is what I arranged, and the twelve family maids were divided into three shifts, each class was four hours, and they took turns to wait in the mourning hall to ensure that incense, candles, and paper money continued. ”
Aunt Feng looked at the maids who had woken up from their sleep, and nodded, "Miss Luo is thoughtful. Go and rest, and when you have enough spirits, you won't delay your business. ”
Everyone knew that Aunt Feng was a kind person who was easy to talk to, so she answered the voice, and then bowed down and withdrew, and the new subordinates took their place, kneeling in front of the offering table and burning paper.
Cui Jingshi understood what it meant to be called "the house leak happened to rain overnight".
There was originally a Luo Xuyan blocking his way, but now that it's okay, more trouble is coming.
He squinted at the little girl who had returned behind the curtain, his fingers moving quietly.
Originally, I didn't want to, but now it seems that there is no way.
After a while, the surroundings returned to tranquility, Cui Jingshi put his thumb in his mouth, and while snorting, he gathered his body and twisted a few times.
His actions really attracted Luo Xuyan to lean over to check.
"Ba, are you awake?" She still covered her mouth, afraid that the breath between talking and breathing would spray on his body, which would easily wake him up and make too much noise, and at the same time, she didn't want the Zeng family to find out that there was a fool sleeping in the mourning hall through a curtain.
Cui Jingshi twisted his shoulders, but did not open his eyes.
"Eight!" Luo Xuyan lowered her voice and shouted again.
Cui Jingshi said "um" softly, but his eyes were still closed.
Luo Xuyan had to get closer, and her body was only a punch away from Cui Jingshi.
"Ah Ba, wake up, it's cold on the ground, how uncomfortable is lying down?"
Before the words fell, Cui Jingshi shot out quickly, and his fingertips pointed at one of Luo Xuyan's acupoints.
Before Luo Xuyan could react, her eyes suddenly darkened, and her body collapsed softly.
Cui Jingshi hurriedly reached out to catch her, so that most of her body was pressed against her body, so as not to touch the cold ground.
Luo Xuyan was unconscious lying on Cui Jingshi's body, and the scattered hair slipped from her shoulders and landed on his face, but the smell of this long black hair was not good, and she was tired of traveling for several days, and she was busy as soon as she arrived in Jingzhou, so she didn't have time to clean and take care of it.
Cui Jingshi somehow felt a little distressed in his heart.
His sister is about the same age as Luo Xuyan, she dresses up exquisitely and beautifully every day, and when she passes by, she can always smell an elegant fragrance of flowers, and all unpleasant smells will not appear on her.
But Luo Xuyan didn't care about these at all, and worried about the family business all day long.
Cui Jing couldn't help but raise her hand, tidied up Luo Xuyan's scattered hair a little, and then helped the person sit up, carefully and gently letting her lean against the pillar.
Then, he stood behind the pillar and looked carefully at the people at the table.
They knew nothing about what was behind the veil, and they were concentrating on doing their own things.
Cui Jingshi looked around, and then the curtain and the shadow covered it, and the wind swept to the edge of the spiritual bed.
Zeng Tingshi still lay there silently, not reacting at all to a person who suddenly came to his side.
"I'm sorry, Zeng Assassin." Cui Jing said silently.
He leaned down, and then looked carefully at Zeng Tingshi through the little light of the white gauze tent, and at the same time reached out and untied his clothes, his fingertips gently pressing on his cold body.
Cui Jingshi quickly checked it and did not find any suspicious wounds on his body, and then looked at Zeng Tingshi's seven orifices and lip color, there were no traces of bleeding, and the lip color was not dark and blue, and the neatly trimmed nails were also pale in color, all kinds of signs indicated that Zeng Tingshi was not poisoned and died.
No matter how powerful the poison is, it will more or less begin to show signs after death, but Zeng Tingshi's body can't be found at all.
Could it really be that an old disease relapsed and died?
Cui Jingshi knew that when Zeng Assassin Shi served in the frontier in the early years, he encountered the barbarians of neighboring countries invading the border, and the generals in the city actually abandoned the city and fled. But after this tough battle, Zeng Thorn Shi was not lightly injured, and even an arrow pierced his abdomen.
Although Zeng stabbed Shi Fu with a big life and survived, he still left hidden dangers.
After that, the imperial court deliberately transferred Zeng Tingshi away from the war-torn border to the wealthy Jingzhou as an official.
It seems that the only way to find a doctor who treated Zeng Tingshi tomorrow is to test it.
Cui Jingshi carefully sorted out Zeng Tingshi's clothes, and then returned to Luo Xuyan's side.
She was still in a stupor, unaware of the man's every move.
He sat cross-legged beside her, raised his hand to untie the acupoint, and then hurriedly leaned over the pillar and continued to pretend to be asleep.
After a while, Luo Xuyan frowned, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at everything in front of her with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Soon, she realized where she was, and when she turned her head, she saw Cui Jingshi who was sleeping soundly.
"Strange......" she muttered to herself, rubbing her aching shoulders somewhere, and looking left and right.
Okay, how could she fall asleep?
Luo Xuyan's heart was filled with a lingering strange feeling, and she couldn't help but lean over to look at Cui Jing again.
Cui Jing shook his fingers, as if he had eaten delicious food in a dream, and he looked silly.
She got up, excused herself to check for anything unusual, and walked to the bed.
Zeng Thorn Shi lay on the spiritual bed unharmed, as if he had been tampered with.
Luo Xuyan looked at it again and again, and found that she really couldn't find a single thing out of the ordinary.
What the hell is going on...... She rubbed the corners of her forehead, could it be because she was so tired that she hallucinated?
She took a deep breath and returned to behind the curtain, and before she knew it, it was dark outside, and there were already birds chirping, bouncing between the branches a few times, and then flying away.
Cui Jingshi stretched out at the right time, smacked his mouth a few times, and then opened his eyes.
Luo Xuyan raised her hand and made a silent gesture to him, and then whispered, "I'll take you back." ”
The white steward is almost coming, and she can take advantage of the fact that people are coming and going, and quickly take people back to the side courtyard, so as not to cause any trouble.
Cui Jing was also eager to leave the mourning hall at this moment.
Zeng Tingshi couldn't find out the problem here, so he had to start from other aspects, and he couldn't forget the other purposes of coming to Jingzhou.
