down. 。Chang Xue Qiao thanked the second madam and stepped aside. Next, Ye Wu Shang served tea. 。This time the tea wasn't spilled, but Xiao Shūbái asked another question: "Whose teachings are you foll..."Since you've taken possession of the house, it is only right to provide silver to bury the deceased with respect, rather than just a flimsy coffin and not even be willing to hire a carriage to take him out of town." 。"And—," he glanced at the high sun in the sky and let out a cold snort, "What hour is this What family would hold a funeral at this time I just want to know why you didn't send off your dead in the morning. Is there some particular rule in your house" Someone from the onlookers, who lived next door, spoke up right away, "What rules are there They simply couldn't get out of bed! They wanted to sleep a little longer." 。They're always eating and doing nothing, the whole street knows what they're like. 。“Very well,” said Quan Qing, nodding. “Then sentence him to a more severe punishment!” The official clasped his hands together. "Yes," 。"And——," Quan Qinghua continued, "this king just heard them talking. They said they were going to sell this nephew to a slave trader and use the silver they got from selling him to buy a woman to serve…" 。"Remember this, it is even a greater crime!"

The official bowed again: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the Lin'an Prefecture will certainly handle the case impartially." 。Uncle Two and Aunt Two were dumbfounded. As the officers approached to take them away, Aunt Two suddenly started throwing a tantrum. 。The official reminded her, "Look clearly, the one who sentenced you is His Royal Highness the Dust King. This isn't a neighborhood brawl with neighbors fighting and rolling around." 。If you keep shouting, be careful not to anger the Dust King. He'll cut off your head! Even the government won't intervene then. 。"Aunt Two was startled and dared not cry out anymore. Uncle Two, even more timid, hugged his head and kept begging the officer: “Don’t hit me, don’t hit me, I know I was wrong, Your Honor, please spare my life, I won't do it again!” 。The officials were all amused by him, "Do you dare There won't be a next time! Let's get through today first! With your kind of crimes, occupying someone's land and selling their son, you wouldn't be able to get out of jail for ten or eight years. You could even be beheaded!" 。" His uncle's eyelid twitched, and he fainted right away. 。Aunt Two could still struggle for a while, but she was no match for the officials and was soon taken away. 。The onlookers scolded Uncle Two and Aunt Two for a while, then pitied Tiger, and finally dispersed. 。Then only the four pallbearers remained standing there, looking at each other, then back down at the coffin lying on the ground. Finally, one of them, bolder than the rest, asked Quan Qinghua, "Lord, my Lord, what should we do Should we continue carrying the coffin" Tiger had already reached the coffin and knelt down, mimicking Quan Qinghua's posture by placing one hand on it. But his hand wasn't as steady as Quan Qinghua's. 。He was crying, silently, only his shoulders shaking. A young man carrying the coffin saw how pitiful he was and squatted down to say to him: "Child, people can't come back to life after they die, you should try to open up a bit" 。It's good that you are now with the Fourth Prince, so you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future. Even your father would be able to rest in peace knowing this. 。You're lucky to have the Fourth Prince wanting you. Otherwise, you'd be in the hands of your second uncle and aunt, who knows what they'd do to you! Especially that second aunt... well, let's not talk about it. Anyway, just be good and live a happy life. 。“

Tiger still cried, tears streaming down his face.

” 。He turned his head to look at Quan Qinghua's actions. He saw Quan Qinghua hand a silver note to the pallbearers and say, "First, take the coffin back into the house, and then go buy a new thick coffin and re-dress it." 。The funeral will not be held today. We'll discuss it again on the fifth day. 。When the time comes, hire a hearse to carry the coffin out of the city. You'll have to work hard and accompany us to the burial site. 。Also, arrange for someone to carve a tombstone. Just say it's by my order, and it must be finished by midnight tonight. 。This silver note, after deducting the necessary preparations, all belongs to you. But if you are greedy for money and fail to prepare a proper coffin and tombstone, this king will show you no mercy. 。The pallbearer who received the silver note looked at it and saw that it was worth one hundred taels. 。This is simply too many for them, even if they were to prepare coffins and tombstones, there would still be so many left over. 。Besides, they didn't need to carry the coffin out of town for him. They just followed the carriage and helped dig a grave in the suburbs. This job was much easier. 。Generally, for this kind of work, four people would only get two taels of silver, at most with a noon meal, and even that would be from a wealthy household. 。If one were just an ordinary person, they would put in the same amount of hard work, but they wouldn't even be given half a tael of silver. 。This man was really something, he kept saying, "This is too much, there aren't many valuable coffins in the outer city, the best ones are only worth a few dozen taels" 。After all, big families' coffins are ordered in advance. The one hundred taels of silver we bought this ready-made coffin for won't be spent at all. 。"

Quan Qinghua waved his hand dismissively. One hundred taels of silver wasn't much to him, but it could give Huzi some peace of mind

He told those people, "Buy the best coffins you can afford and get a tombstone made of good material, but time it right." 。Normally, the period of mourning lasts three or five days. Today is exactly the third day, so if we are delayed, we will bury him on the fifth day. 。This child's family is small. If you have the time after finishing your business, please come and help keep watch over his remains. Afterwards, this king will bestow rewards. 。"Hu Zi's father's funeral was finally done properly. The four pallbearers were very willing to help with the vigil, and they even went out of their way to buy white cloth, white banners, and things like that. They also replenished a lot of paper money." 。There were also fruits and snacks on the spirit offering table, and nearby neighbors came over to incense too. 。Huzi, looking at this scene, thought of the events from a few days ago. 。Even though his uncle was his father's own brother, he showed such reluctance when bringing his father's body home. 。Originally, the spirit altar was supposed to be set up in his house, but because there was a murder at his house and the whole place was covered in blood, his second aunt was scared, so they moved it to their house. 。Because there was a funeral altar in the house, Uncle Two and Aunt Two felt it was unlucky and kept nagging him, as well as his father and mother. 。The insults grew increasingly harsh, but he had to endure them all. 。Because he couldn't bear to do otherwise, if he didn't, his aunt would throw his father's coffin out and take down the altar, and wouldn't allow him to be buried. 。He was still young, and things at home had happened so suddenly. He hadn't even had time to go out begging. So he could only endure it. 。Besides, even his own family members wouldn't help him sincerely. What reason did he have to expect outsiders to genuinely assist him He just didn't expect that this outsider, the Fourth Prince, not only helped but helped so well. 。He not only set up a proper mourning hall, but also hired people to keep vigil with him. The coffin was replaced with high-quality wood, and it was said that the tombstone was chosen from excellent stone as well. 。He thought to himself, such a great kindness is beyond repayable. Even if he served the Fourth Prince his whole life, it wouldn't be enough. 。Then perhaps in the next life, one might come again and continue to serve the Fourth Prince as a cow or a horse, repaying his great kindness. 。But for his parents, just as the Fourth Prince said in front of Lady Li's tomb, never see each other again in the next life. 。Whether it's father or mother, never meet again in the next life. 。These few days, Ye Wen has also been busy, but this kind of busyness is not tiring. Moreover, because there are few people at home and there are no such things, no matter what he does, he feels good, even when sleeping, no one comes to disturb him. 。Even Ye Qingmei said, “If I had known life would be so peaceful now, I shouldn't have wasted time at the manor. We should have just moved out directly.” 。As long as you stay away from that group of people, you'll sleep soundly. 。"

Night Wenyan didn't think that way. She told Ye Qingmei: "Even if we are going to move, it should be them who move." 。This is our Ye family's ancestral home. Why should we leave and allow outsiders to stay here Even if it were for convenience, it wouldn't work because it would only be a temporary solution. In the future, there will still be endless trouble. 。To get a permanent solution, you have to outlast them and uncover the whole truth. 。"You've thought this through thoroughly. I can only see the surface, I still have much to learn from you." 。"Oh, how much of this spice should I add What was the name of that floral scent you mentioned earlier" Night Qingmei was learning to make scented candles with Night Wenyan. The Prince's Mansion had sent over many flowers, all picked from the mountains outside the city. 。He also said that the flowers on the mountainside were almost harvested, and the seeds were all kept. They could be replanted immediately. 。You can still harvest it in the autumn, but after that you'll have to wait until next spring. 。Ye Wen collected all the flowers into his storage bracelet in front of his family, then gave a matter-of-fact explanation: “Shi Lifen gave me a magical tool for storing things and taught me some minor spells. There’s no need to be surprised.” 。It's not strange for family members to do this, after all, she is the woman of an emperor. Giving her a treasure and teaching her some techniques is only right. 。On the contrary, if they were not taught anything at all, then they would suspect Emperor Zun's intentions. Wouldn't they wonder if he truly liked their younger sister The fragrance used in incense candles is different from ordinary spices. It was Ye Wenyan who carefully selected flowers and extracted essential oils using magic. 。It's very precious, only a small bottle the size of a fist. She really couldn't bear to use up too many flowers. 。But even this small bottle is purer than any essential oil you can buy today. This was extracted using magic, so besides the flower itself, it also contains magical essence. Its effectiveness and fragrance are dozens of times stronger than ordinary essential oils. 。

Just a tiny drop of essential oil is enough to make many, many scented candles.

Besides, she also added medicinal ingredients to the essential oil, making its effects more prominent. 。She also found some containers, including glass bottles and cups of various shapes, as well as small porcelain vessels. In short, anything that looked pleasing or unique could be used. 。Ordinary wax is mixed with color dye to create the desired color, and then essential oils with medicinal properties are added for fragrance. A wick is inserted in the middle, the wax is poured into a container, and allowed to cool naturally. A scented candle is complete. 。Ye Wen told Ye Qingmei: "Although the containers are different and we've added dyes, the colors of the candles made aren't the same. However, we shouldn't classify these scented candles based on their shape and color." 。We should categorize them by essential oils, as each has different effects. For example, this bottle is for calming and relaxation. Put all the scented candles with this essential oil together. 。For example, this bottle is for soothing nerves, and if you put the candle with this essential oil together... 。"And these, for eliminating room odors, invigorating the spirits, relieving nasal congestion, and moisturizing the lungs—in short, all categorized. Can you remember" your memory How heartbroken would I be! Should I keep you then or not " She stood up and walked around him, "Keep him, unwilling to let go, don't keep him, even more unwilling to let go. After all, h...
