Because of the rain, there were many puddles on the road. The young man in the blue robe, holding an umbrella, carefully avoided the mud brought by the carriage, turned into the alley, and finally stopped at this gate.

There was a man squatting on the steps of the door. The light of the paper lantern was not bright. It seemed that it would go out at any time.

The young man took up the umbrella and shook the drops on its surface. The voice startled the man squatting on the steps. She raised her face from her knees and was stunned when she saw the young man.

A girl in her early twenties, even if her make-up was dizzy by the vapor in the air, still did not affect the beauty of her face.

"You Are you Shen Qingshi Gu Xuan pursed her lips and looked at the young man with hesitation. She probably didn't expect that the person she was looking for would be a young man in his early twenties.

The young man nodded, took the key from his neck, opened the copper lock, pushed the door open, looked back at her and said, "do you want to come in?"

She looked at the dark room with fear on her face. But she wanted to come here. She gritted her teeth, nodded and went in first.

Shen Qingshi smiles, reaches out and turns on the light. The room lights up all the time, and the furnishings inside are clear at a glance. A pair of black coffins are placed face to face. The walls and the ground are pale. There is a door with a copper lock in the corner.

"Are you here to buy coffins?" Shen Qing put down his umbrella against the wall and looked down at the girl not far away.

Gu Xuan was stunned for a moment. First, he shook his head and nodded. Finally, he simply said, "I'm here for you. Someone told me that you can help me..."

"I'm just a coffin seller." Shen Qing interrupted her with a smile, "just tell me if you want to buy it or not."

"Buy it! I'll buy it! " Gu Xuan answers quickly, and takes out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and hands them to him.

When Shen Qing didn't answer, "I'll check the goods."

He went over to the coffin and asked, "did you buy it for yourself or someone else?"

"I I don't know. " Gu Xuan follows Shen Qing to the coffin and looks at it with fear on her face.

When Shen Qing looked at her for a moment, his eyes swept between her eyebrows. After a moment, he seemed to confirm something. He said with a smile: "it seems that it's for your own use."

"No, no, no..." Gu Xuan shakes her head and looks frightened. In her opinion, the coffin is for the dead.

But the next moment her shaking stopped.

"I can't be wrong." Shen Qingshi said seriously, as if he didn't like being questioned.

Gu Xuan nodded in a trance, and there was no focus in her eyes. A moment later, she stepped into the coffin opened by Shen Qing, and then she lay down.

"If you take the money, you have to do a good job." Shen Qing sighed and covered the coffin again.

A few days later, Gu Xuan, who is in the Academy, suddenly gets up and runs out. She jumps into the beauty Lake in front of everyone. Her body is taken back by Gu's family.

"Master, the old lady said that the body of the young lady would not be allowed to enter the door." The housekeeper said to master Gu with a face of embarrassment.

Gu Xuan's reputation is bad. Even if she jumps into the lake and dies, people outside will only say that Gu Xuan will die if she has no face to live in the world.

It's no pity for anyone.

When the original letter from the Academy was sent back to Gu's house, the old lady called Gu Xuan back and scolded him. She knelt down in the ancestral hall all night and was driven to the academy the next morning.

Yan Ming doesn't apologize to Ye Yun, so don't go into the door of Gu's family in the future.
