Chapter 13 The Tang Ancestral Hall Rises to the Divine Fire 2
That night, the Tang family finished eating, dispersed, and went back to the room to rest. Qian Xiao'e entered the house, looking left and right, trying to find an excuse to go out, but Tang Qi pulled her to talk about it. Tang Qi is ten years old, the old lady is old, and all the things up and down the family, big and small, are all left to him to cook. In the past, with Qian Xiao'e's temperament, I like to listen to these things the most, and when I hear something energetic, I will inevitably have fun for a while. But today, she is full of worries, how can she still have the heart to listen to these idle things. Tang Qi saw that she was absent-minded, so she asked with concern, "Xiao'e, I see that you don't look very good today, but is there anything on your mind?" ”
What's on your mind? What a fire! Can you tell him this kind of thing! I know how to move my toes, of course not, I can't say it, Qian Xiao'e paused, and thought, it's inevitable! Why don't you test his tone, in case the two of them have one heart, then this matter will be half of it, with Tang Qi's status in this family, it is much easier to speak, so he asked, "Tang Qi, what do you think of this family affair between Hui Xian and the Lu family?" ”
Tang Qi stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at Qian Xiao'e carefully, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”
Qian Xiao'e explained, "Although Huixian is your own sister, you are busy with housework all day long and rarely care about her. I married into the Tang family and had more contact with her, and I knew that she was simple and kind-natured. I was afraid that when she met Lu Gongzi yesterday, she would be coaxed by his sweet words, so she agreed to this family affair in a daze. ”
Tang Qi smiled and said, "You have to worry about this." Our Tang family and the Lu family are not friends in a day. 's father and Mrs. Lu have the same surname, tracing back to their roots, and they are still a little related. The two of them have always been sisters and brothers, and their relationship is naturally not ordinary. The master of the Lu family is even more kind, their son is naturally not bad, I have also seen that Lu Gongzi a few times, he is loyal, but he is not the kind of person who can speak 'sweet words' as you say. You should put a hundred hearts on this matter. ”
Tang Qi only thought that Qian Xiao'e was kind, afraid that his sister Tang Wan would choose the wrong Lang, how could he know Qian Xiao'e's true thoughts at this time. Qian Xiao'e listened to his words, and knew that her husband was stubborn, and it was not easy to change everything if he had his own opinion, so it was useless to say more, so it was better to hurry up and fend for himself, the most important thing at the moment was to find an opportunity to go out as soon as possible. Pregnant! I saw her suddenly bend her waist slightly, hold her stomach with her hands, and let out a few moans, "Oops, oops, what's the matter, my stomach suddenly hurts." ”
Tang Qi saw her in pain, and quickly supported her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Qian Xiao'e waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, people have three urgency, I'll go out for a convenient trip." ”
Tang Qi was still not at ease, and asked with concern, "Is it really okay?" ”
Qian Xiao'e raised her head, put on a smiling face, and said, "Don't worry, my health is very good, it is estimated that I have eaten too much at night, so I just need to go out." With that, he walked out. Stepping out of the threshold, he secretly glanced at Tang Qi in the house, and saw that he was busy with his own affairs again, so he boldly called the maid who was giving advice during the day and went straight to the ancestral hall.
Qian Xiao'e's master and servant took advantage of the darkness of the night to secretly push open the door of the ancestral hall. The door creaked open, and on weekdays, the ancestral hall did not come less, and the sound of the door opening was not less, but at this time, the two of them felt frightened when they listened. As soon as he looked up, he vaguely saw the ranks of ancestors standing in rows in the dark, kowtowed a few times, and muttered, "Ancestors are above, Xiao'e is also a painstaking person, for the sake of the Tang family's reputation." If the sister-in-law Huixian marries a prince, the Tang family will definitely be glorious in the future. Ancestors, don't blame me. After worshipping the ancestors, I worshiped the three innocent people, "The real person is not strange, the little girl is really helpless, so she made this decision, and I hope that there are a lot of real adults, regardless of the fault of the little girl." In the future, high incense and high candles will be served. ”
Several Buddhas in the ancestral hall bowed in front of each other, and Qian Xiao'e urged the maid, "Hurry up." It's been a long time since I came out, and Tang Qi is going to come out to look for me. ”
The maid listened to the order, and quickly took out the fire candle from her arms, probably the first time to do such a trivial thing, the maid was nervous, and actually got rid of the fire candle in her hand. The master and servant searched in the black light and fire before finding it again. The maid's trembling hand finally polished the candle, the firelight reflected Qian Xiao'e's face, there was a little hope in her eyes, and a little fear, only to hear her voice ask a little timidly, "Click here, is it really okay?" ”
The maid whispered, "Young lady, if you don't order it, then the marriage between the young lady and the Lu family will be a certainty, if it is ordered, our young lady may become the 'lady of the prince'!" ”
Qian Xiao'e looked at the flickering firelight, yes, if you don't light it, there is no "possibility" left, success or failure is here, why not gamble. Besides, when he got out of this door, he hurried to find Tang Qi while the burned area was not large, so that he couldn't burn much. Thinking like this, his courage became fat, and he nodded at the maid and said, "Let's do it." ”
The maid brought the fire under the curtain of cloth, and the curtain immediately caught the fire, curled and burned, and when the two of them saw this, they ran out, hurriedly closed the door, and withdrew from the ancestral hall.
Qian Xiao'e ran halfway, looked back, and faintly saw a shaking fire through the window, she was afraid that if she waited a little longer, the fire would burn the whole house, so she quickened her pace and hurried back to the room to find Tang Qi.
Tang Qi was finishing freshening up under the maid's service, and saw Qian Xiao'e rushing in in a panic, I don't know if she had just had a stomach ache that caused some symptoms, so she hurriedly came up and grabbed her, "What's the matter, does your stomach still hurt?" ”
Tang Qi's words were heartfelt and heartwarming, and Qian Xiao'e was stunned when he asked him like this. Where there was any stomach pain, she just used this as an excuse to go out, or colluded with her subordinates to set a fire, a fire that burned the ancestral hall of the Tang family. People's hearts are long, and Qian Xiao'e is no exception, in the face of Tang Qi, who cares about her so much, Qian Xiao'e suddenly felt very weak-hearted, and complained to herself in her heart, what did she do just now, she actually joked about the ancestral hall of the Tang family. By the way, the ancestral hall, the fire in the ancestral hall is still burning, "I...... I...... See...... ...... fire" Qian Xiao'e was nervous for a while, and said a word intermittently. Tang Qi didn't understand and asked, "What?" What do you see? ”
Qian Xiao'e was afraid that if she was one step too late, the ancestral hall would not be able to be saved, so she hurriedly said loudly, "The ancestral hall is on fire." ”
