The fire burned for a whole night, burning the entire He Mansion beyond recognition.

Fortunately, because the subordinates on duty at night issued an early warning in advance, there was no casualty in the entire He Mansion.

At this time, it was close to noon the next day, Mrs. He, Yaoguang and her aunts temporarily stayed in the inn, and after Steward He handed over the box containing the iron box containing the He family's belongings to Mrs. He, he led He Peng and others to report to the official and clean up the destroyed objects in the He Mansion.

Yaoguang washed up, changed into the dress that Qiu Yue bought from the ready-to-wear store, ate two bites, and walked into Mrs. He's room.

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Tian were also sitting, but looking at their faces, they had not slept all night.

Yaoguang greeted An, and saw that Mrs. He was pointing at Aunt Tian and making an abacus, while holding a brush and writing something on the paper.

Yaoguang was inconvenient to disturb, so he went to talk to Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang is a master who is used to sad spring and autumn, and when she encounters great changes, she sits by the window, shaking her head and sighing.

"Aunt Zhang, if you frown again, your forehead will have wrinkles. Yaoguang put his arm on the window flute and comforted him softly.

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she smiled at Yaoguang reluctantly, "It's time for this age, it's time to grow pleats." ”

"Auntie, what are you talking about! Let outsiders see, aren't you just a cardamom girl!" After speaking, Yaoguang couldn't help but wink at her.

Aunt Zhang's face plate is small, her bones are small, and her height is half a head shorter than that of Mrs. He and Aunt Tian, but because her facial features are extremely exquisitely combined, she has a kind of green water spirit and beauty in a small family.

She used to be the Oiran in the flower building, and the bustard in order to sell her at a good price, she also took a lot of thought to teach her, although the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting can not be compared with the famous everyone, but it is also a small success, at least, in this small place in Luo County, is an out-and-out talented woman.

And Master He, it was when Aunt Zhang first listed to pick up customers that he was overwhelmed by her unique appearance, so he spent a lot of money to redeem the person, and since then he has lived a stable life.

She has lived in Hefu for more than ten years, not to mention people, but also to every grass and tree there.

However, the sudden fire last night caught her off guard.

Now, everyone is safely staying in the inn, and the most important things in the He Mansion have also been taken out by Steward He and handed over to Mrs., but Aunt Zhang just can't control the lost and sudden mood in her heart, and she always feels that this good day is coming to an end.

After getting along for more than two years, Yaoguang naturally knew her temperament, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hold her, "Don't worry, Madam will repair the He Mansion exactly the same as before." ”

"Hmm!" Aunt Zhang wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, turned her head to see that Mrs. Hetian was busy, and finally patted Yaoguang's shoulder, and said, "Fortunately, everyone is fine." ”

yes, thankfully, everyone is fine.

However, Yaoguang didn't know why, and always felt that things had passed without being so simple.

............

The Hefu family has a great business, the main house burned down, and of course there are other annexes and Zhuangzi scattered everywhere.

And the reason why Mrs. He chose an inn closest to her home to live in was nothing more than to wait for the housekeeper to report the loss of the family to her as soon as possible, and at the same time, it was to reward and appease the subordinates.

The house was burned, and it was necessary to wait for the county government to investigate, and then to find someone to rebuild it, and it didn't take many people to gather around during this time.

After Aunt Tian's abacus for a while, Mrs. He found that the amount of money that could be mobilized immediately was quite limited!

And this, in addition to donating half of the family property to the temple half a year ago, and now is the time when the two jade mines begin to go down, there are only a lot more places to use money, and last night the people worked hard to put out the fire and protect the safety of the master, and the dismissal of a group of subordinates also requires a large amount of silver.

"Hey!" Mrs. He put down the brush, raised her fingers and pinched her eyebrows.

Aunt Tian slowly closed the ledger.

She usually takes care of the account books of the He Mansion, knowing that the main mansion has been burned, and there are a few jade mines and shops that can temporarily alleviate the urgent need.

However, she looked at Madame's expression, and did not see a trace of relaxation, so she guessed that those words and documents were probably burned by the fire.

Although the ownership of the mine has also been filed in the county office, it is not easy to re-apply for documents.

Moreover, the hundreds and dozens of people in the He Mansion also need silver for food and clothing, and then, the restoration of the main house, the wages of the mine, etc., which do not need to make silver!

Thinking that in fact, there are still some jewelry in my room, most of which are appreciated by the lord and his wife, and the value of a thousand gold is of course certain, but didn't there be a fire last night, it would be good for people to come out safely, those things should have been buried in the fire early!

So, after Mrs. He sighed for no reason, Aunt Tian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

When Yaoguang and Aunt Zhang saw their faces, they knew that the situation was not optimistic, but they endured it and did not ask questions.

Mrs. He had no intention of looking up, and was a little stunned by the solemn expressions of everyone, and finally realized that she might have conveyed her bad emotions, so she patted the table and signaled everyone to come back to their senses.

"Don't worry, the sky is falling, and I am still on top!

Don't worry, Hefu is fine!

Isn't it just the burning of the main house? Maybe it's still a good thing!

Haven't you always wanted to expand the pond in our house, so that you can make a small boat in the future, catch a small fish or something, now it's okay, what are the good ideas, hurry up and put it forward, and when the county government is done, we will start to rebuild!"

"But......" Aunt Zhang didn't relax when she heard this, her face was still solemn, "Where is there so much silver now!"

"Why not!" Mrs. He smiled shallowly and got up and walked to the head of the bed.

There was a half-human-high Nanmu chest, and when opened, it was a smaller box with iron wrapping.

The box was locked, and Mrs. He took out a bunch of keys from her purse, found one and inserted them into the lock hole.

Soon, she took out a smaller black box, opened it with a key, and then a stack of stamped documents appeared in front of everyone.

"Come here, all of you. Mrs. He beckoned to Yaoguang and Aunt Zhang.

The two of them naturally got up and went to the table.

"Look, our He Mansion has a thick background! This, and this, count, see how many Zhuangzi, shops, and fields we have?"

Yaoguang was stunned by the thick pile of papers, and really counted them while reading according to Mrs. He's request.

And the final result, of course, can only be described as "stunned"!

Obediently, Yaoguang thought that He Mansion was just a rich family in Heluo County, but he didn't expect that the He family's industry actually extended to several surrounding states and counties!

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Tian were also shocked at the same time.

They have been in Hefu for so many years, and they have eaten and dressed in every detail, so they naturally know what wealth and luxury are.

However, those Aunt Tian, who only stayed on the surface and had been helping to run the mines and street shops, had never seen the amazing wealth that is now!

Therefore, everyone finally realized that in fact, the burning of the main house this time is really not a big deal?

At this time, Aunt Tian thought of the so-called ordinary family property donated by her wife half a year ago, in fact, it was just ordinary family property for outsiders!

Well, Aunt Tian did not feel a trace of resentment because Mrs. He deliberately concealed her family background, but quickly accepted the good news, hugged Mrs. He's waist, and shouted: "Sister, you are a good means, I was really worried about my sister just now!"

"Hey!" Mrs. He was almost unable to stand by Aunt Tian, but Aunt Zhang slapped Aunt Tian on the face, "Speak well, no one is right!"

Aunt Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

And Mrs. He finally shook her head helplessly, and reminded her: "It is said that wealth is not exposed, but now, you have to be more careful." As for you, you must also tighten your mouths, and you must not let it out. ”

"What is saved, what is saved. ”

Yaoguang helped clean up the paperwork while nodding with his aunts.

And just when everyone suddenly had a good mood to see the clouds, suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Buckle!"

"Who?"

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent.

Aunt Tian was curious, walked to the door, suddenly realized something, and quickly looked behind.

Yaoguang was clever, and collected and sorted out the pile of documents in two or three times and handed them over to Mrs. He.

Mrs. He naturally put the paperwork back into the box as it was.

"Click!"

The last lock fell, and Aunt Tian saw that Mrs. He nodded, so she took off the latch and opened the door.

"Mother!"

Suddenly, an extremely familiar voice sounded.

I saw that a round ball of meat came in directly, and when I found that everyone was standing in front of me safely, I completely relaxed and walked towards Mrs. He.

When Mrs. He saw that the person who came was actually Brother Yu, who was chosen to serve the gods, she first hugged her son with excitement, but after the excitement, she began to break out in a cold sweat.

She pushed her son away, her lips trembling, and asked:

"You...... God made you let you out?"

"No...... No!" the thunderbeast showed a hint of apprehension, "I...... I sneaked away...... Run out. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale.

And Mrs. He was even worse, she directly closed her eyes and collapsed, completely fainting!
