Night.

Growing so big, Hu Qing couldn't sleep for the first time.

Could it be that God even helped him!

Shen Mingyan and Li Tianbao are really brother and sister.

After returning from Shen's house, Hu Qing lay down without even having dinner, and still couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Extremely irritable, Hu Qing got up and put on his robe.

Yingxue, who was waiting outside the crystal curtain, saw Hu Qing get up, and hurriedly greeted her: "The second master is awake, Yimei is still preparing supper, I know that you have no use for dinner and go to sleep, Mrs. is worried that you are tired and sick, and instructs the maid to call her at any time." Mrs. also said that tomorrow is the day of the funeral of the metropolitan governor, and it is okay for the second master to not go if he feels uncomfortable. ”

Hu Qing exhaled slightly: "When did my mother come back?"

"Not long after you fell asleep, Madame sent for you. Knowing that the second master went to the tea tasting conference today, Mrs. also specially told the maid to take care of you. Knowing that you went to bed so early, Mrs. also sent a special message that the imperial doctor was waiting in the house. ”

"I'm not sick!" Hu Qing said angrily: "Supper!"

"It's outside!" Ying Xue hurriedly pushed open the dark red carved door: "Second master, the maid knows that you are not happy today, but no matter what, you can't be hungry." ”

Yingxue also learned about Shen Zhai from Jinxin's mouth, as the big girl next to Hu Qing, Yingxue also knows Hu Qing's mind very well, and understands Hu Qing's temper better.

Hu Qing didn't answer, and strode outside.

There were only two eight-treasure glazed palace lamps lit outside, and the light was a little dim, and Yimei and Cai Ju were sitting on the soft couch chatting.

Seeing Hu Qing striding in, Yimei Caiju hurriedly got up and greeted him.

Hu Qing didn't look at the two either. He sat down at a round table covered with a white background and a fiery red plum brocade. On the round table is a set of blue and white tribute porcelain tea sets. Hu Qing stared at the upside-down teacup and said, "What about supper?"

"The second master will take a sip of tea first, and the supper will be here soon!" Cai Ju took the pot and poured the tea and put it in front of Hu Qing.

Yingxue glanced at Yimei, and Yimei walked out quickly.

Ying Xue casually lit the other six Eight Treasure Glazed Palace Lamps, and the room suddenly lit up.

Hu Qing took a sip of the teacup and spit it out: "How is it white water!

Cai Ju bit her lip and whispered: "Second master, it's late at night, it's not appropriate to drink tea, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well!"

Hu Qing put the teacup on the table and said in a deep voice: "Where can I not sleep well!"

Ying Xue hurriedly stepped forward and glanced at Cai Ju, Cai Ju lowered her head and stepped aside, Ying Xue smiled and said, "Second Master, Cai Ju is also kind." It's really not good to drink tea in the middle of the night. ”

"That's not right!" Hu Qing frowned: "I remember getting up in the morning." I'm not drinking silver needle tea. As he spoke, Hu Qing looked at Cai Ju who was bowing his head and hanging his hands on the side: "Cai Ju, you say, is the silver needle tea gone again?"

Cai Ju saw Hu Qing asking such a question, so she had to answer: "Back to the second master, it was only broken this morning." ”

"Got it. Go down and sleep!" Hu Qing waved his hand at Cai Ju.

Abominable Zhou Rong. It's so stingy every time. Can you die if you send a little more!

I drank it so quickly, and now that I'm in the right situation, how can I go to ask him for tea again!

Hu Qingzheng was annoyed when he saw Jinxin running in in a panic. Perhaps looking at Hu Qing's angry face, Jinxin took a few breaths before approaching Hu Qing and whispered, "Second Master, you're awake!"

Hu Qing frowned and roared: "What woke up? I didn't sleep at all! What are you doing in a panic in the middle of the night!"

Jinxin wiped the sweat on his forehead: "It's okay, the little one will come over to see the second master, if the second master has any instructions, the little one can run errands!"

Hu Qing glanced at Jinxin: "That's also worth your panic!" Speaking of this, Hu Qing became more and more suspicious: "Is something wrong?" Why am I faintly listening to the chaos in the house?"

"No!" Jin Xin settled down and smiled: "It's the second master, you yourself are upset!"

"Get out!" Hu Qing said angrily: "You came here to be angry with me!"

"How dare the little one, just come and see the second master. The second master is good, and the little one is relieved. ”

"Go! go!" Hu Qing waved his hand impatiently: "Ye is still waiting for supper!"

Yimei, who had been gone for a long time, didn't come back, and Yingxue whispered to Caiju again: "Go and see what's going on!"

Hu Qing sat at the table and felt more and more noisy outside, and said to Yingxue: "What's going on outside? It's not peaceful in the middle of the night! Let's go, go out and have a look!"

"Second master!" Jinxin hurriedly stopped: "Madam said, the second master will stay in the room." ”

"What?" Hu Qing frowned and stood up: "What happened?"

Jin Xin rubbed his hands and stomped his feet and said, "Second Master, the Governor's Mansion has suddenly gone out of the water, and Father Shang and Uncle Shang have already rushed over with people!"

"What?" Hu Qingyi pushed away Jinxin, who was blocking in front of him, and rushed out of the room in three or two steps.

In the darkness, the night sky due north was lit red by the firelight.

There is only one street between the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Hu Mansion, one of which faces south and the other which faces north.

Hu Qing was also in the north of Hu Mansion, so he felt that the sky-high fire was in front of him.

The fire burned through in the dead of night.

The rolling metropolitan governor's mansion was in a sea of fire.

At this time, on the side of the teahouse on the east side of the Shen Mansion in the east of the city, Lu Xiuying was wearing a red cloak and looked straight at the direction of the fire.

The little guy on duty at night trotted all the way to Lu Xiuying's side: "Mrs. Hui, it seems to be the north of the city, and it is not clear where the fire started." ”

Lu Xiuying's body didn't move, she only said in a deep voice: "Go and inquire!"

The little guy ran down.

Lu Xiuying tightened her cloak, squinted her eyes, looked at the direction of the fire, and stood stiffly.

Tomorrow is the day of Wang Rui's funeral, did Lu Xiuying not make up her mind after all, to go or not to go?

She tossed and turned alone for half the night and couldn't sleep, and finally got up in her clothes, and unknowingly walked to the place where she met Wang Ye that day.

Looking at the fire, Lu Xiuying had an ominous premonition in her heart, wasn't the direction of the fire the direction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

After a long time, the little servant trotted all the way to Lu Xiuying's side: "Mrs. Hui, I have inquired clearly, it is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that is going to water." I heard that it was very tragic, and the fire broke out suddenly, except for a few outside guards, hundreds of people in most of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were actually buried in the fire. ”

"What?" Lu Xiuying held on to the fence in front of her and stabilized her figure: "Only the courtyard escaped?"

"The little ones are also inquired. The little servant wiped the sweat on his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "When Master Shang rushed over, the fire had already burned. The Wang family is all guarding the spirit, and the mourning hall is in the middle, and no one in the Wang family has escaped!"

Before the little guy finished speaking, Lu Xiuying fell to the ground with a bang, and the little guy hurriedly shouted loudly: "Someone, someone! Madame fainted!"

By this time the East had broken white.

The family members who got up early rushed over when they heard the noise. (To be continued.) )
