The fifth aunt is also a person who "knows people". Combining the owner's attitude towards her yesterday and the fact that they slept in the same bed last night, she can guess some of the relationship between the two. In her opinion, there is already a relationship between them.
Husband and wife, all they need is a wedding!
Naturally, her fifth aunt did not dare to interfere with the master's affairs, but since she was the woman chosen by the master, she would definitely respect her and do her best to serve her.
"The master went out to do errands early in the morning and will probably come back later. If you have anything to do with him, miss..."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Su Tong waved her hands hurriedly, interrupting the fifth aunt's words, so as not to turn into a nymphomaniac who must be Xuanyuan Hao in the eyes of the fifth aunt.
She smiled nonchalantly at Fifth Aunt, washed up, and sent her away as quickly as possible before turning to Huo'er again: "Did you go out with Xuanyuan Hao this morning?"
Huo'er's pointed ears fluttered, and he shook his body vigorously on his front legs, shaking off some of the slightly dry mud on his body, then stretched out his paws and pointed in a certain direction...
"Is this where Xuanyuan Hao went?" Su Tong frowned, and before he could finish muttering, Huo'er jumped out and jumped out.
"Hey!" Su Tong growled angrily, not caring about "asking" clearly about the right and wrong, and chased after him...
***************
The light rain fell for a while and then stopped. There was still a thick layer of moisture in the air, and it was filled with the smell of earth.
Su Tong sniffed and followed Huo'er impatiently. She felt that the soles of her shoes were getting thicker and thicker, and there was more and more mud on them. Finally, she glanced at Huo'er in front of her maliciously -
If she flew up with a kick at this time and threw all the mud on the sole of her foot on it, would it be possible to relieve her anger?
"Huhu!" Huo'er, who was walking in front, roared and turned around at this moment, causing Su Tong, who had just raised his feet, to stumble with guilt and almost fall to the ground in embarrassment.
Huo'er was obviously shocked by her actions, looking at her blankly and in astonishment, his animal-shaped face also slightly distorted.
"What's wrong?" Su Tong smiled guiltily. She was so embarrassed that she quickly stood up and spoke to it, "Aren't you walking well in front?" Why did you turn around suddenly? Really!
Huo'er whimpered, then looked towards a coffin shop nearby and motioned for Su Tong to go in.
"Coffin shop?" Su Tong looked up at the remote but large-scale shop and muttered again, with a puzzled look on his face, "Why would you enter such a shop?"
Huo'er couldn't speak, so she could only anxiously circle around Su Tong, put her head on her legs, and motioned for her to step in and take a look.
"This kind of place is unlucky..." Su Tong sighed softly, and raised her feet helplessly, "Forget it, just take a look."
***
This coffin shop, which looked grand on the outside, was also magnificently decorated inside. If it weren't for the pure black coffin parked in the center of the hall, Su Tong would have thought she had walked into some wood shop.
"Girl, do you need to buy anything?" There was only one person in the cold store who seemed to be the waiter. When he saw Su Tong coming in, he quickly greeted her enthusiastically, but when he asked the question, he couldn't help but hesitate.
This kind of store is not something a girl of her age should enter! Buy a birthday coffin. She is still too young. If it is for her relatives to "use" it, it won't be her turn!
"I want..." Su Tong faltered a few times without saying a complete sentence. She moved her fingers on the wooden board beside her twice intentionally or unintentionally. She glanced at the fire on the ground from the corner of her eye, feeling angry in her heart.
Scolding - why did you ask her to come in? Is it interesting to pretend to be buying a coffin?
"Girl?" Seeing that Su Tong didn't speak, the store clerk looked at her doubtfully, and then called her urgently.
"Um... do you have good mahogany here?" Su Tong held back for a while, her eyes wandering over the coffins in the corner of the room, and finally stopped on a finely crafted mahogany coffin, and said something casually.
"This is no longer available in the past few days. Is the girl buying a birthday coffin or...if we can wait until next month, there will definitely be new and high-quality mahogany delivered." The clerk hesitated in embarrassment and rushed apologetically.
Su Tong smiled slightly and then explained.
"Isn't that made of mahogany?" Su Tong casually pointed towards the exquisite coffin, but she couldn't help being shocked when she saw the pattern on it - it turned out to be a dragon pattern chassis, a totem of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix!
Wait, whose custom-made coffin is this? Can it use such a pattern? She remembered that Xuanyuan Hao had said before that ordinary people couldn't just use dragon patterns and phoenix patterns to make things.
"This is something from the palace." The clerk was stunned, and turned his eyes in the direction Su Tong was looking at. When he saw the fine mahogany coffin, he couldn't help but be startled, and quickly covered it with red cloth.
Even the patterns on the edges and corners are well hidden.
"Eh..." Su Tong couldn't help but say. The guy's reaction made her interested. She finally understood the reason why Huo'er brought her here. It was indeed weird!
After coughing lightly, Su Tong mocked unintentionally: "Can't you just take a look at the things in the palace?"
"This is for decapitation!" The man gestured to his neck with his hand, then deliberately lowered his voice and explained in Su Tong's ear, "The Second Prince's people asked us to make it overnight a few days ago.
It will be used by the Queen when the Emperor is buried tomorrow! But the Queen is not dead now. If others find out, wouldn’t it be a curse on her? Are we, those of us who run small businesses, still alive?"
"The Queen is not dead?" Su Tong was stunned, and suddenly thought of Xuanyuan Jin's declaration at that time, saying that the Queen's lovesickness had become a disease and that she would never appear in the deep palace.
