Chapter 63: Chapter 63 I Decided to Repay You

Shen Hua was brought by Cui Yun, and even if it wasn’t customary, the shopkeeper didn’t dare to refute.

The shop was filled with coffins large and small; the sight was spectacular, with finished products, semi-finished products..., and wood that had not yet been worked on.

The shopkeeper simply stood to one side, numbly watching the girl arrange her own custom coffin.

Then, from the corner of his eye, he saw the Marquis from Marquis Yangling Mansion nodding to Yicui with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Cui Yun even gave his friendly suggestions quite amicably. He casually lifted his hand and pointed to a coffin on the side.

"This one is made of sandalwood on the outside and white jade on the inside. It is indeed a creative choice."

Upon hearing this, Yicui hurried to examine it carefully.

She really liked white jade!

However, the young lady furrowed her brows: "This sandalwood seems a bit plain. The carved flowers on top are not quite satisfactory."

"What’s so difficult about that?"

Cui Yun: "If you like Emperor Wood, just spend some Silver to replace it. If you’re pleased with the rosewood I just mentioned at the shop, then use some Silver to buy and make it."

Yicui was tempted, looking towards Cui Yun’s beautiful eyes shining like the starry sky.

She picked up her skirt hem, unable to wait any longer, and with the assistance of Yangyang, carefully climbed into the coffin.

Shen Hua sat down, then lay flat.

The coffin was not big, but it wasn’t cramped either. It was spacious enough for Shen Hua to roll over twice.

She didn’t let anyone close the lid of the coffin, just closed her eyes.

Shen Hua could hardly imagine how dark it would be around her after being nailed shut and buried.

Perhaps within a few days, the face that she was most proud of would stiffen and become hideous, while her creamy skin would begin to decompose and stench.

Shen Hua’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

Maybe, Mama and brother are waiting for her in another world for a long time.

So, she personally managed, and got everything that needed to be considered and prepared, ready.

When she was born, the Shen Family put on a banquet in Fengzhou City for nearly seven days. Her arrival was loud and passionate, so her departure shouldn’t be too quiet.

The funeral of Shen Yangyang must not be taken lightly.

But, to die is to be forever forgotten, as though she never left a trace in this world, how could she not be afraid?

The hand under her sleeve tightened and then loosened, loosened and tightened again.

Shen Hua slowly hugged her knees and sat down.

Cui Yun saw everything in her eyes, having seen many death row inmates, no matter how fearsome and malevolent, they were just like this before death.

She felt insecure... she was afraid.

True to form, Shen Hua’s voice lacked the vigor from just a short time ago, yet she methodically instructed. She repeated everything the material shop had said, one by one.

Finally, she said.

"Let’s settle on the Emperor Wood for the outer coffin and the rosewood for the inner coffin, and the coffin boards to be embedded with white jade."

"We need to inlay a few Luminous Pearls inside the coffin. They say that the pearls from the East Sea can be as big as fists and are bright as daylight. Six pearls in total, an even number; odd is not auspicious."

Shopkeeper: ...You’re dead, what are you afraid of being inauspicious for.

"I will have someone send over some bells to adorn it as well, so that even in death I can have something to amuse myself with to avoid loneliness."

"For the customization, I may be picky but will not trouble others excessively. First, have the master craftsmen in the shop produce twenty designs so that I may choose."

Shopkeeper: ...

At his age, he really couldn’t handle the shock.

Shen Hua: "Right, as for gold, silver, jade, and all types of Jade ornaments, as long as they are made luxuriously enough to reflect my status, I can afford the price."

Shopkeeper felt troubled, his gaze sent towards Cui Yun, hoping he would intervene.

But Cui Yun simply played indifferently with the lustrous Vajra Bodhi Bracelet on his wrist. His thin lips moved, as indifferent as always.

"Are her requests that difficult?"

Clearly, he was asking him.

Shopkeeper: ...It’s not difficult, it’s just lethal.

Just listen to these requests!

This is a coffin, not the construction of heaven!

Shen Hua furrowed her brows and looked towards the Shopkeeper: "I’ve already tried to minimize my demands, can you still not do it?"

The Shopkeeper could only grit his teeth, forcing a stiff and reluctant smile.

"Of course, we can do it. We will certainly follow Miss Shen’s instructions to ensure your satisfaction."

With that, he called over a draftsmen so that Shen Hua could give her instructions on the spot.

Shen Hua’s mood had slightly lifted. She looked at Cui Yun.

Cui Yun also nodded to her.

Shen Hua’s anxiety finally settled.

The draftsmen arrived quickly.

The man had a full beard and was of an advanced age, yet he was remarkably spirited.

He had personally drawn designs for the late Emperor! Everything was grand and lavish, but with the New Emperor ascending the throne, who advocated frugality, the high officials coming here to buy coffins seldom splurged.

The styles gradually grew more uniform, and he even felt he had no room to demonstrate his skills, until! After negotiating with Shen Hua!

The craftsman’s old face flushed with excitement, and he patted his chest, assuring her.

"Miss Shen, rest assured, this old fellow will definitely show off his skills!"

"Shengjing Street? Sure, I can draw that! However, the engravers here are novices. But worry not, Miss Shen, I have acquaintances who specialized in engraving for the palace. Leave it to him, he’ll make no mistakes."

"Luminous Pearls, precisely six, no more no less. However, if you Miss really can find them, consider finding some smaller ones too, and gather more of various colored jade stones. I will incorporate them into the inner chamber, matching them with the carvings to create a scene like the stars and the sea. What do you think?"

Exterior like Shengjing Street, interior like the stars and the sea.

Shen Hua and the elderly man hit it off like they were made for each other!

Hearing this made the Shopkeeper’s eyelids twitch; this big project would mean the draftsman would have to drop everything to busy himself with Shen Hua’s request? He instinctively tugged at the old man’s sleeve.

"Stop talking, mind your step."

The old man: "Don’t pull on me. I’m busy!"

"Miss Shen, I feel that this place also needs to add..."

Shen Hua: "Right, right, right, do as you suggest!"

"Not only can I draw the designs, but I’m also somewhat knowledgeable about geomancy. The interior layout of the coffin is a science. Just give me your birth details, and I’ll naturally draw you the most suitable design."

Shen Hua’s view of the old man had completely changed.

With Yicui’s assistance, she came out with the coffin specifications.

Cui Rong hurriedly came forward, her small stubby hands grabbing at the plank. She listened intently. The talk of jade, pearls, and gems made her heart itch with desire.

"Uncle!"

She turned around excitedly: "I want one too!"

Cui Yun shifted his gaze from Shen Hua and then said indifferently to Cui Rong: "Don’t make a fuss."

Cui Rong pouted, her eyes quickly filling with tears.

Seeing her like this, Shen Hua couldn’t help but laugh.

"Ha!"

Cui Rong: ?

Shen Hua turned to inquire about the price.

"For a custom-made coffin, the price is fixed and non-negotiable, but if you order two, the smaller one can be a bit cheaper."

Shen Hua was never someone to be enticed by petty savings. But seeing that it was Cui Yun who was assisting again.

She pursed her lips and made a decision.

"Sir, I’ve decided to repay you."

Cui Yun had a bad premonition.

He narrowed his eyes.

He then saw the little girl looking up, her make-up meticulous, her expression full of earnestness.

"Shall I have one made for you following my standards as well?"

As she spoke, she realized her words might not be appropriate.

She tried to explain hurriedly, but her hasty words only made the misunderstanding worse.

"It’s not that I’m cursing you, just that good quality wood lasts longer. Buying it now means you have it for when the need arises."
