Tower of Babel

Business will definitely be affected. It may take a lot of effort to invite monks and Taoist priests to perform rituals. It is still unclear whether the ten taels of silver will be enough. Although the shopkeeper feels unlucky, he dare not argue with the Jia family. Now that there is compensation, I feel much better! After taking the silver, he looked at Jia Lian, who was like a fairy. "Mr. Lian has changed his clothes. I dare not recognize him! What a handsome young hero, but I don’t know what happened to Mr. Lian’s family? Do you need my help?"

The flattery came over like it was free. Jia Lian sighed and said sadly, "Someone is dead. My wife was kicked to death by a shrew."

The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the dead person in Jia Lian’s arms. Although he was dressed in extraordinary clothes. But it is not difficult to see that this is the dead person who was reported just now. After all, no matter how she dresses up, she is still a pregnant woman. Her physical characteristics are very obvious and there is no way to make a mistake.

When she was reported in, she was dressed as a maid, but now she is called his wife. Then I remembered that Jia Lian got married yesterday and married Wang Xifeng! Although the shopkeeper has never seen Wang Xifeng, it is impossible for Wang Xifeng to be a pregnant woman. If I guessed correctly, she was at most a personal maid. This rich family beat the maid to death during the wedding. It was usually the trivial matter between the young master and the personal maid.

It is said that you should persuade gambling but not prostitution. It is not convenient to ask about emotional matters, let alone talk too much. So he said, "Second Master, please accept my condolences," and turned around and told a young man to lead Jia Lian.

Watching Jia Lian leave, he weighed the silver in his hand, and couldn't help but take a look and sighed: "The silver in the Jia family is really white!" After putting the silver in his arms, the shopkeeper always felt that something seemed wrong. Lian Erye seemed to be a completely different person. Although Lian Erye was handsome in the past, he was a little dandy and arrogant, but today he exuded a sense of long-term superiority, and even transcendent and unworldly. It exuded a sense of fairy spirit. Especially the clothes, the design is really good, I have never seen it before. I think it is worth a lot!

It is not only the shopkeeper who has this feeling, but everyone else has the same feeling. Although they are all ancient costumes, the fairy costumes are not the same as the real ancient costumes. They are completely derived from ancient costumes and are a kind of super-time design that is higher than ancient costumes. Ancient costumes have no concept of sleeves and no habit of waist-tightening. The belts in ancient times are not leather belts, but actually three feet of cloth. No matter how beautiful the cross-piece tube costumes are, they are still inferior. Zhang Cheng's fairy costume is from another era, high-end and classy. The same is true for Hu Mei'er. However, such a beautiful woman. How could she die young?

Since leaving the inn, although Jia Lian has not cried again, his eyes are swollen like peaches, which has explained everything. In terms of appearance and clothing, these two are a perfect match, but now they are separated by life and death, which makes people sigh.

What a miserable woman, what a lovelorn man. The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai will always be a good story for thousands of years. Once such a story happens, it will attract countless people.

But when there are many people, not all of them are good people. The gold and silver jewelry worn by Hu Mei'er also attracted greedy eyes. There are many people with black consciences who don'tNo matter what kind of misfortune you suffer, you just like to take advantage of others. Zhang Cheng marked these people and will give them retribution in the future. Let's not talk about this for now.

In fact, no matter what kind of people, they can't get close, as if there is an invisible force that separates people and pushes them away. After this invisible force acts on people with bad intentions, it makes these people shudder and feel awe, and no longer dare to have blasphemous thoughts.

This also makes the crowd of onlookers more and more, Jia Lian and Hu Meier become the core. Under the attribute of human blindly following, the law of fish school acts on the crowd. On the way to the coffin shop, a stream of people is gathered invisibly and slowly follows, and some people whisper about their own guesses. The streets of Xicheng are much more lively than before. The denser the flow of people, the more it attracts people's attention, and the denser the crowd.

Led by the waiter, the crowd came all the way to the coffin shop. As soon as Jia Lian entered the door, he shouted: "Boss, which coffin is the most expensive?"

No one asked that! People usually ask which coffin is the best. Isn't this a fool? The shopkeeper looked carefully and saw that the person was Jia Lian. He was familiar and strange at the same time. Who wouldn't know the second master Lian? Strange, this temperament was very strange, it felt like a different person!

Especially this dress, a white robe with gold patterns, gold is gold thread, silver is silk, the two are crocheted together, it's not embroidery at all, but weaving together, and this kind of weaving is not warp and weft weaving, but a weaving method that has never been seen before (knitted cloth). What's most noticeable is that this dress is spotless. The style doesn't look like clothes from the human world at all, giving people a feeling of unique fairy charm.

Although the shopkeeper of the coffin shop didn't look very good and was not sure whether the visitor was Jia Lian, he didn't dare to neglect him and bowed and said: "Excuse me, are you the second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion?"

Zhang Cheng said: "I am Jia Lian, shopkeeper, which coffin is the most expensive?"

Love? Only sell the expensive ones and don't buy the right ones. Besides, Zhang Cheng didn't lack the 18,000 taels of silver. The shopkeeper was a little confused. Although the Jia family was rich, they had never spent so much money! But the Jia family was not easy to mess with. It was confirmed that it was Jia Lian! He dared not to overcharge, pointed to the best coffin, and did not dare to ask for too much. He said: "This coffin is the best coffin in our store, made of Huanghuali, and the price is three thousand taels of silver. It is the best coffin in our store. I wonder if Mr. Lian is satisfied?"

"Okay! I want it." Jia Lian did not even bargain, and directly put the body on the coffin, came to the counter, waved his hand and took out a pile of gold bars from the space and put them on the counter. The means of the gods in his sleeves were right in front of him. The krypton gold dog eyes were dazzled. Everyone was stunned. If it were not for the funeral, I am afraid that countless knees would have been accepted. Now, except for whispering and guessing the ins and outs, no one dared to say more.

The coffin shop owner was also like this. In ancient times, the gold-silver exchange rate was 1:10. One cart of gold was equal to 10 taels of silver. After he weighed 300 taels of gold and settled the bill, Jia Lian opened the coffin lid, spread the bedding, and put Hu Linger in the coffin.After putting the coffin in, Jia Lian closed the coffin himself. The servants brought hammers and nails. In ancient times, the coffin nails were copper nails about a foot long and very thick. There were seven nails in total. Zhang Cheng took the nails from the servants, but did not ask for the hammer.

The copper nails were set in place with bare hands, and then a slap sounded like the sound of steel. The copper nails were slapped in about an inch, and then slapped again and again, like a hammer, and the coffin nails were driven into the coffin. Is this still a human hand? With the sound of slapping one palm after another, the onlookers exclaimed. Seven nails were driven in by bare hands. It was undoubtedly a way to vent the pain in their hearts.
