When the sky was light, the two gatekeepers ran into Qifeng Tower in a panic, and they saw Aunt Zhu, Aunt Hua'er, who was her personal grandmother, and hurriedly pulled her arm and asked, "Good sister, aunt, where is the aunt?"
” Aunt Zhu glanced at them impatiently, "At this hour, my aunt must still be sleeping." ” "The old man is out of breath," the two men lowered their voices, and looked terrified, "last night we took him into the stable and beat him at my aunt's orders, and stuffed him with horse dung, and then left, but when we went back this morning, we found that his eyes were bulging, his limbs were stiff, and he had been dead for a long time, probably choking to death by horse dung. ” "But my aunt hasn't woken up yet, who dares to call her," Aunt Zhu glanced at them, "You two too, the people who died in Qifenglou are not one or two, why are you still so panicked, this big family is lonely, even if he dies, no one is looking for him, you chop him up, just find a place to bury it, don't bother your aunt with this kind of trivial matter." ” "Is this okay?"
The little guys looked at each other.
"What's not good, you forgot the young master of the Xu family last year, you offended the nephew of the uncle of the country, you have to rob the girl with him, it's not that you were smashed by your aunt, the Xu family is a big family, you don't even dare to let out a fart, you only say that your son suddenly fell seriously ill, such a crazy old man, what else do you have to worry about."
Hearing her say this, the two little servants were relieved, and they laughed together, "Then we will take advantage of the fact that the sky is not completely bright, and take him away, and I bother you to wait for your aunt to wake up and inform her old man." ” "Out of breath."
Aunt Zhu stomped her feet and lifted the dust on the ground to their full shoes.
It wasn't until the sun came out of the bedroom that Aunt Hua looked in a good mood, completely different from yesterday's gloomy face.
Seeing that her face was good, Aunt Zhu sped up her steps to catch up, and told her about Zhang Dahu in her ear.
After hearing the news of Zhang Dahu's death, the expression on Aunt Hua's face did not change at all, and she raised her mouth slightly, "Just let them take care of the corpse, Xin'an Mansion has been staring at me closely." ” "Auntie, if there is anything happy, let me be happy when I say it."
Aunt Zhu'er's face was wrinkled like a walnut.
Aunt Hua spread her hands and said with a smile, "It's nothing, but last night, I had a dream, and the things in the dream were really happy, so I slept peacefully until this hour." ” Aunt Zhu leaned forward again and handed over a cup of tea, "What did Auntie dream about?"
” Hua Gu took a sip of tea, and the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were full of smiles, "I, I dreamed that it was on fire." ” "That's a good dream, the fire indicates that the fortune is open, it must be God in Aunt Kuan's heart, tell my aunt that our business in Qifenglou will be better day by day, so that you don't have to worry about it."
Aunt Zhu'er's tone was very exaggerated.
"But this fire is not a simple fire," Aunt Hua's smile lines under her eyes deepened, as if she was going to get into her thickly powdered skin, "I dreamed that the coffin opposite was on fire, and the whole façade was burned to the ground," she looked at the dumbfounded Aunt Zhu, "You say, dreaming that the coffin is burning, does it mean better?"
Promoted to become rich, no one will be left behind. ” Aunt Zhu was stunned for a moment, she had been with Aunt Hua for many years, and knew that she didn't believe in ghosts, so she wouldn't have such a big reaction to a dream, and with Aunt Hua's temperament, after being put on such a scene, she would definitely have to be repaid by others at ten times the price.
Aunt Zhu turned her head to look at Aunt Hua, "Auntie, what do you mean?"
” Aunt Hua looked at the clear blue sky outside, "It shouldn't rain these days, right?"
” "It's not like it's going to rain."
"That shop is full of coffins, if you add some flammable fire, you will definitely be able to burn it clean," she slowly stood up, her slightly squinted eyes filled with fierceness, "It's just to celebrate the opening of my new Qifeng Building, this fire must burn as hot as possible." ” A few wisps of night breeze blew from the hall, gently slamming the door of the study open, Cheng Muyou listened to the anxious scream, frowned, stood up from the desk, and walked over to close the door again.
He saw a figure slowly leaning out from the opposite side of the courtyard wall, a man with a bamboo basket in his hand, climbing up the ladder to pick ripe grapes.
Cheng Muyou stepped out of the door and greeted loudly, "Miss Yan." ” Yan Niang was so frightened by his voice that she was about to fall off the ladder, she barely stabilized herself in Cheng Muyou's exclamation, "Lord Cheng suddenly came so suddenly, it's really scary." ” "It's rude, it's rude," Cheng Muyou walked to the courtyard wall, he saw that Yan Niang was sweating, so he said softly, "I have some prescriptions here to reduce the heat, if the girl needs it, let the right ear get it." ” Yan Niang tilted her head and smiled at him, "I'm just hot, but some people are burning in their hearts." ” Cheng Muyou pursed his lips, "What does the girl want to hint at?"
” "Master Cheng made a good move, and it didn't take a single soldier to make Aunt Hua's new building unable to open, the adult was thoughtful, and Yan Niang really admired it."
"The girl has already guessed that I arranged it on purpose?"
"That façade has been abandoned for many years, and it was suddenly sold out a few days before the opening of Qifeng Building, and it turned into a coffin shop.
Yan Niang said and peeled a grape and put it in her mouth, "It's so sweet, do you want to taste it?"
” "Thank you, girl," Cheng Muyou was not polite, he walked to the wall, raised his hand, and turned out a bunch of grapes handed over by Yan Niang, and stuffed a few into his mouth without peeling the skin, "It's really sweet." ” "Your Excellency seems to have something on your mind?"
Yan Niang looked at him and found that the expression on his face was much more solemn than before.
"I'm thinking, what the girl can think of, Aunt Hua must have thought of too, so I can't help but be a little worried."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps through the hall, "My lord, it's not good," Shi Jin's figure was from far and near, he didn't care about etiquette, and almost crashed into Cheng Muyou's body, "The shop is on fire" "What?"
Cheng Muyou was shocked, "What's the matter?"
” Shi Jin stumbled, "An old man came tonight, saying that his wife went in the middle of the night and wanted to buy a coffin, but he was alone, with no children and no daughters, how could he transport such a heavy coffin, so the shopkeeper and a few men used their own carriage to help him transport the coffin back."
A few of us kept in mind the adult's advice and followed the shopkeeper half a step away, for fear that they would be calculated by the people of Hua Gu, but we didn't expect that the people were not calculated, but the shop suffered. ”
