Anping Street, Su Mansion, sunset gradually sinking westward.

The low and lingering sound of chanting resounded in the main hall, and seven or eight monks sat cross-legged, knocking on wooden fish, holding Buddhist beads, and chanting words with their eyes closed.

In the side hall, Li Bozhou and Xu Qinghe sat opposite each other, discussing the Dharma with the master of Xifeng Temple.

After the three of them deliberated carefully, it was already dark.

Xu Qinghe glanced at Li Bozhou, got up and saluted the master, and then said, "Just follow the process agreed just now, and ask the master to bother more." ”

"The old man must do his best." The master answered.

Li Bozhou also stood up and said, "It's getting late, and the food and lodging have been prepared." If there is anything missing in the master, just tell the servants to buy it. ”

"Thank you, donor. The old man took his leave. The master bowed down and recited the Buddha's name, and then slowly walked out of the side hall.

Li Bozhou straightened his sleeves and said to Xu Qinghe: "The funeral is scheduled to be held in ten days, will it be too long?" ”

Xu Qinghe replied when he heard this: "The day set by the master is suitable for entering the earth. ”

Li Bozhou had no choice but to respond: "That's it." Now I went to dinner, I was busy all afternoon, and I was hungry. ”

Xu Qinghe nodded and said to him: "When my brother-in-law passed, if I saw my mother, please say that I will not eat in Su Mansion tonight." ”

"Why is that?" Li Bozhou was puzzled.

Xu Qinghe replied: "There are some urgent matters, I need to go back to Xu's Mansion and come back tomorrow morning." For the affairs here, I also ask my brother-in-law to take care of it more. ”

Li Bozhou suddenly replied: "Cousin, don't worry, I will take care of everyone in the house." ”

Xu Qinghe responded: "Thank you, brother-in-law." Then I'll be gone. ”

After speaking, he walked out of the side hall and summoned Xu Yao, and the two rushed to Xu's mansion at night.

Li Bozhou looked at his cousin's much thinner back, sighed a few times, and slowly walked out of the side hall.

——

The night shrouded Meizhou City, and there was no starlight in the sky.

Xiping Street, Xufu.

Xu Qing and the master and servant rushed to the gate of Xu's mansion and were about to walk inside, when Xu Yao suddenly grabbed the woman in front of him and whispered, "Miss, there is a figure waiting there next to you." ”

Xu Qinghe followed the little maid's line of sight, but he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, so he had to shout: "Who is there?" ”

Xu Yao hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door in case of an accident.

When the porter heard the voice, he immediately carried a lantern, rushed over and pushed the door open, and when he saw the two people at the door, he hurriedly said, "Miss is back." ”

Seeing that no one answered, Xu Qinghe glanced at Xu Yao suspiciously, and said, "Aren't you dazzled?" ”

Xu Yao took the lantern in the porter's hand, walked down the stone steps at the door while shining ahead, walked a few steps to the left front, and had the courage to hold the lantern high, and when he saw the person leaning against the wall, he was so frightened that he hurriedly waved to the young lady.

Xu Qinghe came over when he heard the news, looked at the man through the dim candlelight, and shouted in surprise: "Liu Langjun? What are you doing here? ”

Liu Chengxu originally fell asleep against the wall, but there was a faint flash of light, and when he heard a woman's shout, he woke up sleepily. When he saw the two people in front of him clearly, he hurriedly stood up, hurriedly brushed off the grass clippings and dead leaves on his robe, and bowed with an embarrassed expression: "I've seen Miss Xu." ”

Xu Qinghe returned the salute and asked again: "What is Liu Langjun doing here?" The night wind hits people, and I am afraid that I will be cold. ”

Liu Chengxu looked at the woman by the faint candle flame and said: "Xiaosheng went to Sufu today to mourn, and the family has no money to spare, so I have to write a pair of couplets to mourn Su Gong." ”

Xu Qinghe was slightly stunned, and immediately replied: "Thank you Liu Langjun for coming to condole." ”

Liu Chengxu still looked at her and said, "Siren has passed away, please Miss Xu mourn and take care of your body." ”

"Thank you Liu Langjun for your care." Xu Qinghe said politely, seeing that the night was getting darker, and he didn't want to worry about why the man was here, so he said to him: "It's windy at night, so please ask Liu Langjun to return home early." ”

Then he turned around and walked straight to the gate of Xu's mansion, Xu Yao glared at the man, and hurriedly followed with a lantern.

"Miss Xu—" Liu Chengxu stretched out his hand to shout, but the woman's feet did not stop, and she entered Xu's mansion in a moment.

The door closed in an instant.

The man's body fell into darkness again.

"You've lost a lot of weight—" The man muttered to himself, sighed, and slowly stepped onto Xiping Street and went home......

——

In the Xu Mansion, Xu Yao carried a lantern to light the road, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Miss, why did Liu Xiucai lean against the wall of the Xu Mansion?" Is he waiting for the young lady to return home? ”

Xu Qinghe walked quickly towards the study, and when he heard the words, he responded: "How do I know?" ”

"But tonight, Miss decided to go back to the house temporarily, so how does Liu Xiucai know? And have been waiting there? Xu Yao continued to wonder.

"How do I know? Why are you so curious? Xu Qinghe hurriedly replied.

Xu Yao trotted to keep up with Miss, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, go slowly, it's not a matter of urgency-"

Xu Qinghe didn't hear it, and continued to walk briskly towards the study.

Xu Yao had to trot to follow, but still said without giving up: "Fang Cai Liu Xiucai didn't say anything special, just asked the young lady to take care of her body." Is he here just to say this? ”

That's incredible! Or even make a big fuss......

"How do I know? Why do you talk so much! Xu Qinghe reprimanded. She didn't want to delve into the purpose of Liu Langjun's move. But the little girl has been making noise all the time!

Xu Yao saw that Miss's tone was aggravated, so she cringed: "Ah Yao was afraid that Liu Xiucai had bad intentions, so she wanted to figure out his actions." ”

Xu Qinghe glanced at her, and said as he walked forward quickly, "Didn't you like Liu Xiucai very much before?" Why are you afraid that he has evil intentions now? ”

Xu Yao immediately replied: "The previous is the previous. Now that Lord Shen and Miss are in love, if Liu Xiucai has any strange thoughts, isn't it just ill-intentioned? ”

Xu Qinghe was stunned when he heard this, and said after a while: "What you said seems to have some truth. ”

"So—" Xu Yao responded, "Liu Xiucai was guarding outside the door of the Xu Mansion at night, and he must have something to find Miss, but Fang Cai didn't say it." There must be ulterior motives—"

Xu Qinghe glanced at the little girl's indignant appearance, and sighed: "You praised him like that before, but now your words imply that he has bad intentions. Even if I'm with Lord Shen, I won't do anything with him. Liu Langjun is still the same Liu Xiucai from the past, Ah Yao shouldn't slander him like this! ”

Xu Yao hurriedly nodded and admitted his mistake: "Ah Yao used inappropriate words, she shouldn't say that about Liu Xiucai." But he still looked at Miss and asked, "Isn't Miss curious about Liu Xiucai's actions at all?" ”

Xu Qing stood still, snatched the lantern from the little maid's hand, and said expressionlessly: "I'm not curious, and I don't want to know." Now go to the kitchen and prepare a dinner and bring it to the study as soon as possible. ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored the little girl, lit the lantern alone, and walked quickly to the study.

Xu Yao stood blankly in place for a moment before turning around and walking towards the back kitchen.
