Xiping Street, Thorn Mansion.

In the huge study, only a few candles were burning by the bookcase.

Master Thorn Shi sat upright behind the table, reading the case file on the table with a focused expression, and after reading one book, he took the pen and wrote down the key points in the blank book, and then picked up a new one, and continued to read it by candlelight.

Shen Yun came in with a pot of spicills, gently placed it on the corner of the table vacated by the bookcase, and said to Lord Thorn Shi: "The skeletal soup boiled in the kitchen, adults taste it." ”

Shen Ye glanced at the bowl, took a sip, and praised: "It tastes good!" Then he put it back and continued to read the case.

Shen Yun had no choice but to persuade: "It's good for adults to drink it while it's hot, the master said that this soup has the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep." ”

Shen Ye glanced at him and said, "Then I'll have to drink it later, I'm going to finish reading this tonight." ”

"My lord, you haven't slept for days, so rest early tonight!" Shen Yun couldn't help but say more.

Shen Ye knew that he cared about himself, so he obediently put down the case file, picked up the bowl, drank it in a few sips, showed him the empty bowl, and said, "I'll look at it for a while, you go and rest first, don't worry about me." ”

Shen Yun had no choice but to pick up the bowl and prepare to go out.

Shen Ye looked at the case file, remembered something, called him and asked, "What is the situation in Su Mansion?" ”

When Shen Yun heard the question, he replied: "A mourning hall has been set up, and many people have gone to mourn in the past two days. Miss Xu takes care of everything, and today Young Master Li went to Su Mansion to help. ”

"Can you set a date for the funeral?" Shen Ye asked with a heavy expression.

Shen Yun shook his head, "Not yet." When do adults go to mourn? ”

Shen Ye thought for a moment and said, "You go and prepare, and I'll go tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Shen Yun immediately answered, turned around and walked out of the study.

Shen Ye leaned weakly on the back of his chair and sighed deeply.

When I thought of the woman's tearful appearance, I felt a little heartache.

During the day, he was forced to deal with his uncle's funeral, and at night he should hide and wash his face with tears-

I should be with her, and I should always be by her side......

But now, she can only stay in the Thorn Mansion powerlessly, feeling the woman's sadness in vain.

——

Xu's study, the lights are as bright as day.

Xu Qinghe was under the bright candlelight, looking at the newly delivered stack of account books.

Xu Yao came in with the food and saw five or six candles burning on the desk, two of which were clinging to the young lady's hand. The little girl was so shocked that she immediately put down the tray in her hand, walked over quickly, removed the two candles, and put them on the corner of the table, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and complained: "It's so close, and the young lady is not afraid of burning her own hair!" ”

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to take the ledger closer to the light and said, "Isn't it clear that I can't see clearly...... Ah Yao can rest assured that her hair will not burn. ”

Xu Yao was helpless and said to her: "The food is here, Miss hurry up and use it while it's hot." ”

Xu Qinghe said hello, put down the account book in his hand, came to the round table in the middle of the room and sat down, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to take a bite, caught a glimpse of the little girl staring at him without blinking, and asked, "What do you see?" ”

"Look at the young lady's dinner!" Xu Yao said, "I can see it clearly, and I will answer Madame's question carefully tomorrow." ”

Xu Qinghe thought for a while and said to the little girl: "If my mother asks, she will say that I have a big appetite and can eat two bowls of rice." ”

"This is false as soon as I hear it, and Madame will definitely not believe it." Xu Yao said immediately.

Xu Qinghe saw that she couldn't understand what she meant, so he explained: "You just said to my mother in detail as I used to do when my appetite was at its best." ”

Xu Yao looked at her and said, "But Madame knows, Miss can't swallow these days-"

"Then you say that I have improved a lot and can eat a bowl of food." Xu Qinghe continued to instruct her.

Xu Yao looked dazed, "Then the young lady eats quickly, if she finishes eating this bowl of rice, A-Yao will reply like this tomorrow." ”

Xu Qinghe was so choked that he was speechless to refute, so he had to take a chopstick dish, and as soon as he brought it to his lips, he smelled the aroma of the vegetables at the end of his nose, and a feeling of nausea surged up in his throat.

Immediately put the meal on top of the rice, suppressed the discomfort in the throat, and said to the little girl: "You have also been busy all day, go down and rest first!" ”

Xu Yao saw that Miss had a different expression, and hurriedly said with concern: "Miss can't eat it?" Or drink some porridge and water! Ah Yao went to the kitchen to bring it. ”

Xu Qinghe shook his head and said, "I can eat it, the porridge and water are not hungry, and the food is better." Go down and rest. The dishes and chopsticks will be cleaned up tomorrow morning. ”

Xu Yao was about to say something, but when she saw the young lady looking over, she repeated again: "Go down and rest!" ”

Xu Yao had no choice but to respond: "Okay." Miss don't want to stay up late, she will rest after dinner. Then he reluctantly walked out of the study and closed the door.

Xu Qinghe looked at the three plates of vegetarian dishes on the table, still unable to swallow and had no appetite. But during the day, my mother's exhortation was in front of me, and I could only force myself to chew and swallow it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Qinghe's stomach was extremely uncomfortable, and finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, helplessly glanced at the rice and vegetarian dishes that still had more than half left, stood up, returned to the desk, and continued to read the account book.

The night was getting darker, and there was silence in all directions.

An hour later, Xu Qinghe finally finished proofreading the account books, stretched his body, and sorted the account books into categories. She stood up and picked up a candle and blew out the others. When he came to the door, he put the candle in the empty lantern, then carried the lantern out of the study, closed the door, and walked towards the bedroom.

In the dark of the night, only a faint candle flame accompanied her all the way.

When passing by the small garden, Xu Qinghe looked at the shadows of the trees in the dark night, and sadness came from it.

She carried the lantern and walked up the stone path to one of the silver laurel trees, and looked at the shadows of the leafy trees, and tears welled up in her eyelashes.

Breaking a small piece of silver laurel branch, she sat down against the trunk and set the lantern aside.

In the darkness, it was impossible to see the branches and leaves, but the woman still held the branches, stared at the blurred shadows, and muttered to herself, "Father, my uncle is gone." I wonder if you'll be able to meet ...... It's better not to bump into it. The daughter hopes that her father has already been reincarnated as a human being, and it is best to live in Jiannan Province as well. If it's in Meizhou City, it's even better. ”

"My father is gone, and so is my uncle. My mother is very old, and sooner or later she will leave me. Birth, old age, sickness and death, I understand the truth. But it's still sad......"

The woman pinched a branch and looked sad, tears falling silently into the night.

"Father, Jingshu is pregnant with a baby, and my uncle has a grandson. Although the uncle did not know about it before his death, the daughter felt that the uncle now knew that he would definitely bless his grandson in heaven......"

"Is the father going to ask his daughter, where is your grandson?" The woman smiled with tears in her eyes, "My daughter doesn't know either." But my father couldn't push me as much as my mother did. These things are not rushed......"

There was silence and darkness all around, except for the woman's whispering to herself from time to time.
