"Want to eat?" Ji Yunshu asked her.
Xiao Xiyue's eyes were always on the book in her hand, but she nodded, "I want to eat."
So, she told Qiao'er to go there and get some cakes.
After Xiyue turned a few pages, she looked up and asked, "Brother, can you lend me this book? My house is next door. I'll give it back to you after reading it. My father's study door is locked and no one can enter. I haven't read this book in a long time."
"of course can."
"Then after I finish studying, can I borrow these books on the table?" She pointed to the other books on the table, her eyes full of desire.
Ji Yunshu smiled softly, "If you like to read it, you can take it and read it at any time, if you have finished reading it, borrow it from me again, let me know what book you want to read, or make a list, and I will have someone find it for you. "
"Thank you, brother." She was so happy that she closed the book of "Hundred Records" and placed it in front of her, loving it very much.
Although he had only met him twice, Ji Yunshu inexplicably liked this little girl. She always felt... She was very similar to herself, not in terms of looks, but in personality. She remembered that when she was ten years old, it was like that.
Xiyue also tilted her head to look at him!
This brother is really handsome, and the eyes that fell on him were very gentle, which immediately made her face feel a touch of shyness, and her face was faintly red, as if her throat was about to burn.
She asked, "Brother, will you be here all the time?"
"probably not."
She was a little disappointed, her eyes dropped slightly, "This house has been empty for many years, and someone finally moved in today. He is still such a good-looking brother, but you have to leave, why can't you stay?"
"It's just a temporary stay here."
"Oh!" He dragged the tone, his voice a little sad.
Ji Yunshu raised his hand and lightly tapped her forehead with his finger, "Isn't there anyone playing with you?"
She shook her head, "No, although they all like me and think I'm smart, but... they don't like to be with me, and people in private schools don't like to pay attention to me."
Some poor!
Looking at that face, Ji Yunshu felt a little distressed for him, and said, "If you are bored in the future, come and sit at any time, it's just right, I'm fine."
"real?"
"Don't you like to kick the shuttlecock? I also like to kick."
"Brother, I like you." She raised a refreshing smile.
This confession came unexpectedly!
Still being greeted by a little girl, Ji Yunshu gave a smirk, just thought this little girl was too cute.
Outside the yard, Qiao'er was coming in with a cake. Before she could move forward, she was stopped by the sudden appearance of Tang Si.
Without saying a word, he snatched the plate of cakes from her hand.
"Miss Tang?"
"This is for Aji, right? I'll take it in for you." Zhanyi.
He stepped forward.
Just saw Ji Yunshu rubbing Xiyue's head.
She walked over quickly and put the pastry down.
Instead, he stared at the cute little Xiyue, and then reached out and pinched her face hard, "Little girl, who are you?"
There is a hard taste in the tone!
Xiao Xiyue's face was a little painful from being pinched, she quickly rubbed it a few times, and then looked strangely at this strange woman who suddenly appeared, her thin eyebrows wrinkled.
"My name is Xiyue." He answered honestly.
"Xiyue? The name is really nice, but little girl, who are you from?"
"I live next door."
"Then what are you running here for?"
"Find my brother to play."
Asking and answering questions, like interrogating a prisoner.
Ji Yunshu quickly pulled Tang Si to sit down, "Don't frighten this little girl."
"Aji, how can I scare her? This little girl is very cute, I like it very much."
So, he reached out and squeezed her cheek again.
Xiao Xiyue has a good temper, and she is not angry at all.
Tang Si seemed to be addicted, and pinched it several times.
In the next two days, Xiao Xiyue always came over the wall to play with Ji Yunshu, but every time she was bumped by Tang Si, naturally, Xiao Xiyue was bullied again.
On the third day, he didn't come back.
But Zuo Yao ordered someone to bring news, saying that the coffin would be opened tomorrow, which would be a good day.
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything, agreed, and let the people who came to report go back.
The next day!
Zuo Yao brought people over and waited, intending to take them to the cemetery to dig a coffin, but also reported to Jing Rong, but because he had other important things, he did not go together.
Aunt Xie learned yesterday that she was going to open the coffin today, and she didn't sleep for a whole night. She insisted on going with one piece this morning.
After arriving at the cemetery, the people in the yamen were ordered to start digging the soil with the tools they brought.
A bunch of people are working hard!
After all, Mr. Ji next to the lord was watching, maybe she worked hard to dig the tomb, she was satisfied for a while, and it was possible that she would reward her with money after making a few words in front of the lord.
Thinking of this, those people worked even harder, digging profusely.
Aunt Xie choked quietly beside her.
During this period, Ji Yunshu also comforted a few words.
Seeing that those people had already dug halfway, she walked over and instructed, "Be careful, it doesn't matter if you slow down, the most important thing is not to damage the coffin inside and be disrespectful to the dead."
Someone raised his head and said, "Mr. Ji, don't worry, we all have a sense of proportion, and we are all professional, so we won't break the things inside."
profession
You think you are the archaeological brigade!
Ji Yunshu nodded and said nothing.
After a stick of incense!
Finally the coffin was dug out.
It was a coffin made of red wood. It was very cheap. Not only was it not waterproof, it was not preservative, and even the coffin felt a little stuffy and damp. The corpse would decay in less than a month.
Therefore, she didn't expect anything from the corpse inside. Maybe even the bones were affected.
Zuo Yao came up and asked, "Sir, are you opening the coffin here? Or carry it back?"
She walked around the coffin and observed it.
"Carry it back."
"Is that carried to Yizhuang? Or the Yamen?"
"My place."
"This..." Zuo Yao was sweating, "it's better to put it in the yamen. After all, the prince and Mr. Ji live there. If you carry the coffin, it may not be suitable."
"You just do it." She was tough.
Zuo Yao didn't dare to say more!
They ordered people to carry the coffin away.
When the coffin was carried to the yard where she lived, she took out some herbs and scattered them beside the coffin.
"Open the coffin."
The people in the yamen untied the rope that was entangled on it, and several people worked together to push the lid of the coffin open and put it on the ground.
The moment it was opened, a rotten smell and a strong stench came out, which was a bit pungent.
The few people covered their noses and quickly bounced away.
Ji Yunshu brought the raw hemp ginger that he had prepared earlier for everyone to drink.
Sure enough, the stench was reduced a lot.
She put on gloves, walked to the coffin, and looked inside, the skeleton inside had fallen apart, and it was still piled together very wet.
Unlike ordinary skeletons, the color of this skeleton is not ordinary light gray.
It's dark grey!
