Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Lin Qingyu thought that Lu Wancheng was just talking casually, but unexpectedly he really worried about his funeral.He thought the murderer’s quilt was ugly, and said that he would wear his own clothes into the coffin; he also thought the white clothes were too monotonous, so he asked if he could change them to colorful ones; Argued with Lin Qingyu for a long time.

"Why not?" Lu Wancheng said angrily, "I don't have the right to decide on my own epitaph yet?"

Lin Qingyu taunted: "'If you lay down a salted fish, you will sleep after death'. After thousands of years, how do you think the future generations will look at you?"

Lu Wancheng smiled leisurely: "Probably think that I am an advanced talent, and then I will be listed as the head of some 'Dayu Eight Great Masters'..."

Lin Qingyu interrupted ruthlessly: "Dreams must also be measured."

Lu Wancheng looked very disappointed that the carefully composed doggerel could not be engraved on the tombstone, sitting in a wheelchair and sighing, watching Hualu's maternal nature overflowing.Lin Qingyu ignored him and went to the study to do his own business.

Not long after, Hua Lu came to him with a plate of washed fresh dates, and hesitated to speak: "Young Master, do you eat dates?"

"Speak straight."

Hua Lu hesitated for a long time, and said: "Master, it's the last month, I think you should treat him better and be more accommodating to him."

Lin Qingyu smiled faintly: "But, he doesn't want to be accommodated."

Hua Lu was surprised: "Huh?"

"He tried every means to make us relax, how can we live up to his intentions." Lin Qingyu's voice was full of subtle tenderness, "Tell everyone in Lanfeng Pavilion, in the last few days, we can do whatever we want , as usual."

Hualu seems to understand, but she believes in Shaojun.She has been serving the young master for so long, and she dare not say that she understands the young master. It has been less than a year since the young master married, and she has already seen through the young master.

This is probably the confidant in the mouth of literati.

The coffin is the resting place of the deceased, and it is the most important thing in the funeral ceremony.Lin Qingyu remembers what Lu Wancheng said, when choosing the coffin, he really took him with him.Ji Si couldn't move the coffin into the Hou's mansion for them to choose, so he could only trouble them to make a trip.

A special shop like Jisi is usually opened in a dark corner on a street corner.This entire street is almost full of shops dealing with the dead, and the largest one is called Wuwangtang, which is the fierce shop entrusted by Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng to walk in front, and Huantong timidly followed behind, rubbing his hands with his arms folded, feeling that this street was much colder than the outside, and the wind was whistling, and he passed by a door from time to time with paper figurines The shop, you can see goosebumps all over the place.

The staff of Wuwangtang learned that the Young Master of the Hou Mansion was coming, so they were waiting at the door early in the morning. "The villain respects the young master." The man was surprised when he saw Lu Wancheng in the wheelchair, "Could this be..."

Huan Tong said: "It's my little lord."

Lu Wancheng greeted the buddy with a smile, which stunned the buddy for a while.He has been in this business for so long, and he has never seen someone go to the Jisi to choose a coffin for himself.

Lin Qingyu asked, "Where are the things?"

The guy was clever and quick to respond, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Everything is ready, Master Hou, please."

Although the front of Wuwangtang is small, there is a hidden cave behind it.The newly-made coffins were neatly arranged in the backyard, and they were of different types. The coffins introduced them one by one: "This is made of catalpa, and that is made of nanmu. Catalpa is not easy to rot and is resistant to moisture and moisture; nanmu has fine grain and is not easy to deform... "

Lu Wancheng found a blind spot: "Why are all the coffins here for two people?"

The clerk said: "Since the young master is married, it is natural to use a double coffin. The so-called married couples live in the same quilt and die in the same hole. A hundred years later, the young master and the young master will be buried together in the same hole, and the next life can continue. Fate."

For a while, both Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng fell silent.

Lin Qingyu had never thought about being buried with Lu Wancheng, and only after being reminded by the assistant did he realize the meaning of "married couple".

Even though he and Lu Wancheng were reluctant and the other ignorant of this marriage at the beginning, their marriage was still arranged according to three media and six hires, worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping high hall, which is completely different from Xiao Cheng and Lu Niantao and others.

The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love.

Life should come back, death should be longing. ①

The words "married couple" are too heavy.

Lu Wancheng smiled and said to Lin Qingyu: "Let's use a single coffin. I'm used to sleeping alone. I have no objection to a joint burial, but it would be too wronged for you to be buried in the Lu family's ancestral grave." If Jiang Family grave, he can still think about it.

The buddy looked at Lin Qingyu in embarrassment: "Young Master, this..."

Lin Qingyu said calmly: "Just listen to the young master."

The clerk didn't dare to say anything: "The coffin for one person is at the back, please come with me, Young Lord and Young Master."

Suddenly, a woman whispered faintly.Huantong leaned on Lin Qingyu in fright: "Young master, did you hear the crying?"

The clerk explained: "Don't be afraid, brother, that's another visitor to see the coffin."

Several people followed the buddy through the coffins, and they saw a woman.The woman is dressed in plain clothes, her eyes are out of focus, her description is haggard, and she is as weak as a willow.Even so, it is not difficult to see her once beautiful appearance.

The clerk whispered: "This is Mrs. Huo. Her husband contracted tuberculosis three years ago and died at home yesterday."

Mrs. Huo was originally a talented actress in the Jiaofang Division. She met a scholar by chance and fell in love with each other, and she made a private decision for life.The scholar gave away all his family wealth to redeem her body. He thought he would be able to accompany her forever, but unexpectedly, it has only been a few years since the day of raising the case and meeting his eyebrows.

The clerk was not very sorry: "Mrs. Huo is a weak woman who was born in the world. She has no father or mother. She lost her husband in her early years, and her appearance is so outstanding. I'm afraid her life will be difficult in the future."

Several people were standing not far from Mrs. Huo, but Mrs. Huo seemed to be unable to see them or hear them speak.She gently caressed the golden nanmu coffin with her hand, and murmured: "May it be the southwest wind, and die forever in your arms...②"

After finishing speaking, a line of clear tears slowly slid down from the corner of her eyes, falling to pieces.

Lin Qingyu looked away and said, "Let's go."

Lu Wancheng was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I think the golden nanmu coffin is pretty good, is there a single version?"

Wuwangtang is indeed a time-honored brand in Beijing, and it handles things quickly and well.In a few days, everything was ready except for the golden nanmu coffin.In Lu Wancheng's own words, he can say goodbye to everyone at any time.

After everything was ready, the man went to the Hou's mansion to settle the bill.Lin Qingyu thought that he had done a good job, and personally rewarded him.The clerk accepted the reward and said with a smile: "There is still something to do in the hall, so the villain will not bother the little lord and young master."

Lu Wancheng asked casually: "You are all Wuwangtang, will you be busy in winter?"

"Who says it's not." The man said, "There are many old people who can't survive the winter every year. But today, a young lady went... The young master and the young master should still remember that it was the day we Mrs. Huo whom I met in Wuwangtang."

Lu Wancheng was taken aback for a moment: "She was fine the day before yesterday, why is it so sudden?"

The clerk sighed: "That Mrs. Huo couldn't bear the pain of losing her husband. After finishing the funeral for her husband, she drowned in the lake at night and died in love."

Hearing this, Hualu covered her mouth with red eyes, and Huantong was quite moved.Lin Qingyu glanced at Lu Wancheng, and said to the clerk, "Thank you for your hard work, go."

After the buddy left, Lu Wancheng was obviously much quieter.Lin Qingyu can probably guess why he is like this, and it must have something to do with Mrs. Huo.

Sure enough, after Lu Wancheng finished drinking the medicine, he suddenly asked him: "Qing Yu, you should, you haven't regarded me as your husband yet, have you?"

Lin Qingyu said: "I said before, I regard you as a friend and a bosom friend."

It's okay, it's just a confidant.

But if the confidant is gone, I will be sad and sad.

"Don't do it with your bosom friend." Lu Wancheng was a little anxious, "Just treat me as... just as a tool."

Tools... throw away after use, tools that don't involve any emotion?

Lu Wancheng expected him to do so?

Lin Qingyu sneered: "Lu Wancheng, who do you think I am?"

Lu Wancheng was stunned: "...Qing Yu?"

"Do you think that after you die, I will be like other widows, washing my face with tears all day long, looking for death?" Lin Qingyu's voice was cold, like a snow in winter, "You think I will give up on myself, stagnate, and live for you You are wrong, Lu Wancheng. If I were so vulnerable and indecisive, when I married you, I would have bumped my head to death on the wedding bed." Lin Qingyu looked at Lu Wancheng, his Adam's apple rolling up and down , calmly said, "Don't worry, I will watch you go, and then... live well."

Lu Wancheng stared at him for a long time, his eyes seemed to contain Lingling Qiushui, and he said almost sighing: "What should I do, Qingyu, you really... have grown into my sexual addiction."
