Mei Shuyu turned her head and saw that Zhao Qingxi was very thin, as if she would fall down when the wind blows, with her head down, she looked weak and helpless. He raised his hand and patted himself on the head fiercely, cursing himself for saying this at this time.
It is quite suspected of taking advantage of others.
So, he immediately said, "I just admire you. Don't worry about it. If you don't like me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't think you will like me. The prince's cousin once said that she would help me when I return to Beijing. I'm holding a red line with you to try our marriage, but after I returned to Beijing, she was so sick with morning sickness that she didn't have the energy to take care of me. Now my cousin's whereabouts are unknown, and something happened to Zhao Zaifu again. I shouldn't have mentioned this today, don't let it go In your heart, it is not easy for you to support the Zhao family, so you can plan whatever you want, don't pay attention to me, just treat me as nonsense just now, don't worry about it."
Zhao Qingxi raised his eyes slowly, as if meeting Mei Shuyu for the first time, looking at him seriously.
Mei Shuyu was embarrassed by her, touched her nose, did not dare to meet her eyes, and secretly scolded herself for being worthless.
Zhao Qingxi stared at Mei Shuyu for a while, then suddenly said, "Master Yu Er, go and burn two pieces of paper for my father. You are here, don't you still mourn him?"
Mei Shuyu was startled. When he came to Zhao's residence, he was busy with a thorough investigation, so naturally he didn't pay attention to condolences to Zhao Zaifu.
Zhao Qingxi turned around and walked towards the mourning hall.
Mei Shuyu stayed in place for a while, really not daring to guess what Zhao Qingxi meant, but he was originally a temperament who couldn't hold back everything without asking questions, couldn't eat, swallow and sleep, so he gritted his teeth and caught up with Zhao Qingxi , licking his face and asked, "Miss Zhao, what do you mean by that, I'm stupid, please explain more clearly."
Zhao Qingxi's footsteps paused, and his voice was filled with emotion, "You are quite stupid."
Mei Shuyu was annoyed and said nothing.
Zhao Qingxi didn't answer his doubts, and continued to walk forward.
Mei Shuyu thought about it, but she didn't dare to think too much, so she could only follow her and came to the mourning hall.
Because Zhao Qingxi put Zhao Zaifu's body in a coffin, and there were burning paper, paper money, braziers and other things in front of the mourning hall, at this time, the courtiers were almost gone.
Zhao Qingxi was supposed to kneel in front of the mourning hall to return the salute to those who mourned, but because Mrs. Zhao was incompetent, she had to take care of all the affairs of the mansion, and cooperated with Mei Shuyu to thoroughly investigate the people in the mansion, so the person guarding in front of the mourning hall was the side branch of the Zhao mansion. The relatives of the family, or cry or condolences.
When Zhao Qingxi came to the mourning hall, everyone looked at her.
When Zhao Zaifu was there, there was only one daughter, Zhao Qingxi. The relatives of the side branch wanted Zhao Zaifu to have an adoptive heir, but Zhao Zaifu refused desperately, saying that having a daughter was enough.
Everyone in the capital knows that 80% of the money used to control the rivers and valleys is from the Zhao family, and the Zhao family has been emptied long ago. Although Zhao Zaifu is in his position, in fact the mansion is already empty, not even as thin as a dead horse.
Now that Zhao Zaifu is dead again, orphans and widows, seeing that the Zhao family is in decline. The relatives of the Pangzhi clan feel that Zhao's mansion can't get anything now, and there will be nothing to get people in the future. Therefore, they are not very dedicated even in helping to guard the mourning, which seems to be coping.
Zhao Qingxi had been watching coldly since yesterday, and said nothing, anyway, she had plans to take her mother out of Beijing.
But today is different.
She came to the mourning hall, glanced at everyone, stood to one side, reached for the burnt paper, turned around and handed it to Mei Shuyu.
Mei Shuyu took a look at Zhao Qingxi, then at the other relatives of Zhao's family who were watching, and silently accepted it. With his current official position in the court, he took the burnt paper and threw it into the brazier, and then bowed three times to Zhao Zaifu. That's all. But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that even if he was wrong, it would be okay for the younger generation to kneel down and pay respects to the elders.
So, he knelt on the ground on one knee, gently placed the burnt paper in the brazier, and solemnly bowed three times.
After he bowed three times, Zhao Qingxi said softly, "Second Young Master, what can you say to my father?"
Mei Shuyu's heart beat twice, and she looked up at Zhao Qingxi.
Zhao Qingxi still looked pale with no expression on his face, and when he spoke, he was very calm.
Mei Shuyu called her mother in her heart, thinking that Ms. Zhao is smart, but she is stupid compared to him. What does she mean by this, so he knows how to do it? Now what is she doing
