Chapter 192: Bamboo Forest

The fire was too big for the main house to be saved, so the old lady immediately decided to let the little guys splash the nearby houses with wet, so as not to blow the wind and ignite the other houses. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

An hour later, the fire was gradually brought under control, the smoke choked, and Minglan covered his nose with a handkerchief.

Bizhu sneered, "Girl, let's go back." ”

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, the fire was extinguished, and knowing that the long house had suffered heavy losses, Minglan turned around and left.

In the room, the eldest lord was interrogating the maid, his face was gloomy and almost dripping ink, a huge room, the eldest lady had lived for nearly twenty years, and all the furnishings were the best, and the fire was all gone.

Several maids fell to their knees, trembling with fright, they saw with their own eyes that the fire was on fire, and the closed window suddenly opened, and a gust of wind rushed in, and the tall candlestick fell to the ground, and the blanket of the big red peony burned, and the curtain of the bed caught fire.

They shouted to the mother-in-law to extinguish the fire, but the fire was out of control.

The old lady frowned and said, "The tall lampstand is so heavy, how can the wind blow it down, and you don't tell the truth?!"

At that time, the two maids who were cleaning up the house insisted that it was the candlestick that fell down that caused the fire, but no one believed it.

The candlestick is very heavy, it is copper, even if it is placed in the yard so that the wind cannot blow down, let alone in the house, it must be that the maid did not tell the truth, maybe the maid stumbled and knocked down the lampstand.

The eldest lord let the staff scold the maid, and when the thirty boards went down, the maid's skin opened and the flesh bloomed, and the candlestick was blown down by the wind.

The maid didn't die directly, after all, it was the eldest lady's maid, she went to the meditation nunnery, and only left for a day, the main house was burned down, and the maid had to be left to her for interrogation.

After Minglan returned to Liushuang Garden, the Mu family sent Pearl to pass the word and told her to go to bed early and not leave candles in the house.

Usually there will be one or two candles in Minglan's house, which will not affect sleep, but it will not be dark when she gets up at night, but this night, the house is dark, and she is still very adaptable, and she falls asleep after half a night.

When I got up the next day, there were snowflakes in the sky, not the kind of goose feather snow, the snowflakes were delicate, and they turned into water as soon as they touched the palm of their hands, but the trees on the ground were white.

It was dark last night, and I couldn't really see it, so early in the morning, Sydney went to the east courtyard to take a look, and came back to tell Minglan, "The main house where the eldest lady lives, I can't find a good thing, and those precious porcelain vases are broken ......." ”

Yesterday, she was blown down by the wind and knocked down a beauty bottle, she was distressed for a long time, and now the eldest lady burned so many things, and that distress was cured in an instant.

In a good mood, Minglan had half a bowl of porridge and a bun in the morning, and then went to Youlan Garden, the old lady was sick, and Minglan didn't want to see her, so she didn't go.

Inside the house, the maid was also telling Mu about the loss of the long house, and after hearing this, Mu said, "The tall candlestick is indeed not so easy to be blown down by the wind, why is it on fire." ”

"Who knows," Zhao's mother said in a relaxed tone.

The long house is unlucky, she is happy to see it, and no one forces the eldest lady to go to the meditation nunnery, she wants to go by herself, and she wants to have a reputation for filial piety when she is punished, if she is in the house, the maids will not dare to be so negligent, but I am afraid that the eldest lady's intestines will be ruined at this time.

In this fire, everyone thought that the eldest lady was not there, and the maids were burning carelessly.

Early in the morning, the sky is bright, and there is a little girl who goes to the meditation nunnery to pass the bad news to the eldest wife, at this hour, even if it is difficult to walk on the snowy road, it is time to go home.

However, the eldest lady did not return for a long time.

An hour later, the little guy who had gone to pass the word came back, and then, everyone sympathized with the eldest lady even more.

The little maid told the main courtyard of the east courtyard that it was on fire, and the eldest lady immediately couldn't sit still, and wanted to go back to the Bofu to see, but it was snowing, and the meditation nunnery was on the top of the mountain, and the road was not particularly easy to walk, and it was even more difficult to walk when it snowed.

In addition, the eldest lady was so anxious that she urged the coachman to hurry up, and the coachman shook the whip violently.

If you are in a hurry, it is easy to have an accident, no, the horse's hooves slipped, the coachman was thrown out, and the horse broke into the bamboo forest with the carriage.

The eldest lady was thrown out and smashed heavily on the bamboo, although there was no worry about her life, but her arm was dislocated, and her forehead was a little bruised.

Fortunately, when he prayed, the third girl was still sleeping in the bed, and the eldest lady couldn't take care of her when she returned home in a hurry, otherwise there might be one more injured.

This is also a blessing in disguise.

The eldest lady was so unlucky, Minglan exclaimed happily, thinking that God couldn't see that he was cleaning her up.

Although the eldest lady did not come back, but her dowry burned generally, the old lady still sent someone to inform the Zhu family, the eldest master of the Zhu family came to the Bofu in person, and saw that the courtyard where the eldest lady lived was burned beyond recognition, and it hurt for the eldest lady, but half of the dowry was burned because of the high candlestick, such an explanation, Lord Zhu did not believe it.

He personally met the two beaten and dying maids, and questioned them face to face, and finally the maids changed their words and said that they saw someone throw stones into the house and smash over the candlestick, which caused the fire.

Minglan was doing needlework, and Qingxing Balabala poured beans, and her face was cold when she heard it.

Bizhu looked at Minglan and said, "Who will lose the world and smash the candlestick?"

It can't be sent by Wang Shizi to smash it, right?

This...... It's not impossible.

But Minglan felt that this was not very possible, if the maid really saw someone throwing stones, why didn't she say it yesterday, and then talk about it when she saw Master Zhu? It was obvious that the eldest lady had suffered heavy losses, and she wanted to put the charge of arson on the head of the second room, after all, there was only the second room in this mansion where the eldest lady was dying.

The long room is unlucky, the second room is the most profitable, and more importantly, the eldest lady goes to the meditation nunnery because of the second room.

The eldest lady knew that she was wrong, and she also went to Jingxin Nunnery to reflect, but the second room took advantage of her absence to ruin her marriage, and her heart was extremely ruthless, not to mention what the old lady felt when she heard it, these words spread, it was to ruin Gu She's reputation, and more important things, which paved the way for the eldest lady to come back and make trouble for compensation.

Minglan was angry when she heard these words, not to mention the Mu family, she said angrily, "Why didn't she say that the carriage had an accident, and it was also our second room's hands and feet!"

Mother Zhao brought tea to Mu's family, "Mrs. is angry, you are still pregnant, why should you be angry about the words of Master Zhu and the maid, you are so angry that you have no luck in the middle of someone's arms." ”

In fact, Zhao's mother didn't dare to say everything in her heart, the east courtyard was on fire, whether it was the hands and feet of the second room or not, the eldest lady would hate the second room, this is a matter that cannot be reasoned, it is useless to be angry.
