Cupid winks

Chapter 44

, recite the scriptures to the deceased, Xiaobao will recite, follow along.I learned a few words from him temporarily, and he said that as long as I read these few words, I can also accumulate virtue for Feng Fangfang.

Do this for your own sake, and live together in the Kingdom of Bliss.

Do this for your own sake, and live together in the Kingdom of Bliss.

At midnight, the monks got up and circled the coffin, and we followed, Xiaobao, Manager Fan, and Ye Haowen, none of them left. The four of us followed the five monks, holding three sticks of incense sticks in our hands, and walked around the coffin. Turned the coffin around and around.It seems that after reciting the scriptures once, the monks sat down, and we sat down separately. The fat monk took out a small book and said: "Your mother owed a man named Li 300 million silver in her previous life. After burning so much, pay off her debt."

I heard it, and said with a headache: "This... I didn't count it before."

Xiaobao said: "Burn some paper money, 100 sheets, one box is [-] million."

He said, "What we burned for her was the money to buy her way."

I asked the fat monk: "Master, can you see how much money I owed to someone in my previous life?"

The fat monk asked me my date of birth. I only know the solar calendar. He calculated the lunar calendar and flipped through the yellow leather book in his hand. Yan's 600 million silver."

Ye Haowen murmured in a low voice, "Do you believe this too?"

I asked him, "You haven't changed your last name, have you?"

Ye Haowen raised his voice: "Why should I change my surname?" After finishing speaking, he was stunned, and answered in an awkward manner, "My mother's surname is Yan..."

Xiaobao shouted: "The case has been solved!"

I thought of what Xiuxiu said.If there is a wrong, there is a debt.

I laughed, Ye Haowen's face was long, and he was speechless for a long time.Later, Xiaobao and Manager Fan went to lie on the sofa for a while, and Ye Haowen and I kept watch at night. Tian Fuhai left at three o'clock. He explained that he would come back in the morning, and he would be there for the first seven days.

At night, I am quite energetic, and the monks are even more energetic, chanting scriptures and beating drums, with their eyes wide open. Ye Haowen and I stacked ingots, and our hands were all stacked with silver and tin. It is inconvenient to smoke. Stop, wash your hands, light a cigarette, smoke.At dawn, Ye Haowen and I rested, Xiaobao and Manager Fan took care of us, we didn't go out, we cooked and ate by ourselves, the monk would leave in the morning and come again in the evening, after three days, a cousin of Feng Fangfang showed up up.She came in, I looked at her, she looked at me, I wanted to kneel to her, she rushed over and grabbed me and asked, "Who are you! What are you doing here with my cousin! Who are you all?!"

Ye Haowen pulled her away, and said: "We were arranged by the nursing home. Seeing that she was a widow and no one died, she arranged it without authorization. Don't worry, the cost is the same as that of the nursing home, and it will all be borne by a friend of her son's."

Tian Fuhai listened at the side, looked at me, and said nothing.

Cousin Feng Fangfang looked at Ye Haowen from head to toe for a long time. She also looked at the car keys on the table in the living room.The cousin didn't say anything, and called her relatives one by one.Feng Fangfang's cousins, cousins, and cousins ​​appeared one after another.The living room of Feng's family soon had no room to sit, and people crowded into the bedroom and onto the balcony, and there were people standing and talking in the kitchen.Someone said, why did Qinqin call the third aunt?She has the most work!Someone came back, all the calls came, forget it, she didn't have anything to do anyway, there was a distant room that couldn't be reached.Someone lowered his voice and said, you have been close before, but you have no idea of ​​the password?Some people stripped me of my mourning clothes and put them on by themselves, kneeling and weeping. Some people smoked, made tea, drank tea, washed rice and cooked rice, and asked me if Feng Fangfang had any last words and Feng Fangfang's birthday.A few people got together and wrote something on a piece of paper, showing embarrassment and distress. Xiaobao said that they were thinking about Feng Fangfang's bank card password.They found two bank cards and a key to a bank safe in a bedroom drawer.They suspected that the real estate certificate was kept in the safe.Several female family members gathered in the bedroom, counting Feng Fangfang's jewelry.

This is what she wore, don't you remember?It's Ayu's 20th birthday!

This is the same, this string of pearl necklace, do you think it matches my skin tone?

Alas, don't you want these clothes and shoes?When the time comes to burn a set, right?What a pity, what a pity.

I remember there was also a jade bracelet, right?won't be...

I took them to see Feng Fangfang's body. The jade bracelet they said was on her wrist.I put it on for her so she could look better.

They were still sorting out who would be her closest blood relatives, with a relative who worked at a notary leading the drafting of the list of heirs.

Xiaobao and Manager Fan had left long ago, and because Ye Haowen had given himself a job in a nursing home, he was dragged and questioned.I stacked silver ingots in the crowd for a while, there were too many people talking around, and the smell of cigarettes was too strong, so I washed my hands and went downstairs to smoke.Tian Fuhai also came down to smoke, and we both nodded in greeting.

He said, "Aren't you her godson?"

I smiled: "I'm not a liar."

"You can tell," he said.

He smiled: "There is no taboo, there is no taboo."

I finished smoking, looked upstairs, and left.

I went back to the dormitory, entered the door, saw the sofa, walked over and fell asleep, and slept for a whole day.When I woke up, it was another night. Ye Haowen called me and asked me if I wanted to go to Sun Yu's wedding. He said: "Sun Yu said that Xiuxiu won't come, I always have to take someone with me."

I said I?"

He said, "You." He said, "Are you home? I'll pick you up."

I went to Sun Yu's wedding.His husband is a Frenchman named Louis, with a high nose, brown hair, light green eyes, and a lot of freckles on his face. He looks smaller than him, much smaller.They found a wedding in a foreign-style house in the Republic of China, which was both Chinese and foreign, which fit the identities of the two grooms.The guests also dressed in the style of the Republic of China. The men were all in suits, bow ties, gloves, leather and cloth, and some came with silver-headed walking sticks under their armpits. Their hair was all glossy. Liang, I seem to see a lot of Manager Fan.For women, they wear round-toed cat heels, their hair is close to their scalps, they wear cheongsams, and they wear loose dresses made of sequins and beads. They also love gloves, lace, velvet, and a full set of jewelry, a lot of pearl necklaces Shine bright under the crystal chandelier.I seem to see a lot of Daisy Fay and a lot of Anna May Wong.Ye Haowen prepared a suit for me, I changed it in his car, the size was right, he also prepared shoes for me, and the shoe size was correct.According to him, this bungalow with a garden and a pond used to be a summer resort for the owner of a textile factory in Shanghai. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and the surname has not changed. The current heir is keen on collecting antiques and paintings, so he turned it into an art gallery. , open to the public, 51 tickets, open to the public free of charge every Wednesday from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm.The heir is Ye Haowen's friend and also Sun Yu's friend. Hearing that Sun Yu was looking for a place to treat guests to dinner, he volunteered to lend the house and help with the arrangements.I followed Ye Haowen into the bungalow, and before I had time to look at the rare paintings and famous collections, I was dragged into the living room by him.Ye Haowen said that even if you have a meal with friends and the family atmosphere is more open, after all, not all elders accept same-sex unions.I really didn’t see any elders. Ye Haowen roughly introduced them to me. The people who came were either acquaintances from Sun Yu’s dance circle or old classmates, old friends. There were also a few friends from Louis’s place. There were many girls, and they were those. Daisy Fay.

Ye Haowen's seat is at the main table, and a long bar is placed in front of the dance floor. There are two round tables on both sides of the dance floor. There is a jazz band with a lead singer on the dance floor. When we entered, the band had already started.The female lead singer appears to be of Southeast Asian origin, wearing a high-waisted tight skirt, pointed high-heeled shoes, and red lips.This is a bit of a cross-cutting scene, like running over from Monroe's studio next door.

I have no place to sit at the main table. Ye Haowen was looking for a seat for me. Sun Yu saw us and walked through the crowd to say hello. He shook hands with Ye Haowen and hugged me. I was flattered and speechless for a while. on my shoulder, patted my arm, and said, "It's really you."

At that time, I didn't have a serious meal in three days, and I slept all day. I drove from the dormitory to the wedding venue for a full hour and a half. Banana, I was still hungry enough. At that time, there were already cold dishes on the round table. I just wanted to sit down and eat, and I didn't have the energy to figure out the meaning of Sun Yu's words.Later, when I was half full, listening to the music and watching the handsome men and women flying on the dance floor, I finally got a taste.

It's really me.

Could it be that it wasn't me?Of course it might not be me, it might be someone else, but the point is not here, the point is that he is guessing who Ye Haowen will bring to his wedding.

I think it was from that moment that I began to rethink the relationship between Sun Yu and Ye Haowen.

But the wedding was so loud that I couldn't quite stop and think.Singing, footsteps, laughter, the sound of wine glasses clinking together, and many people talking, some people said that the chef of the garden made it himself, how much does it cost?Some people said, more than that, the cake was hired by Michelin chefs from France, and some people touched the tablecloth and said, we will also use this kind of cake in the future, how much is it?

Someone pulled me to talk, and a man at the same table asked me, "Are you Ye Haowen's friend?"

I said, "I'm here to eat."

The band's playing can-can, the dance floor is full of girls
