Chapter 44: Bad News

It happened that she was also curious about the little prince Jiang who was going back on her word, so she said to Steward Hu: "You send someone back to him, saying that I am willing to go boating with him for a day on the lake, and by the way, talk about the matter of Yipinxiang." ”

Steward Hu was a little reluctant: "Miss, I don't know what the temperament of the little boy Jiang is, so I'm afraid that I will ...... if I agree to the appointment."

Liu Xuan knew what Steward Hu was worried about, so she smiled: "I'll find a few guards with strong martial arts to go with me." ”

Steward Hu saw that she had made up her mind, so he no longer persuaded Liu Xuan to send Liu Xuan to the carriage, and asked Liu Xuan to wait at the door for a while, and then went back to the house in the backyard of Yipinxiang to take the silver ticket and handed it to her: "This is the silver that sold those shops, and the young lady will collect it first." ”

Liu Xuan didn't accept it: "Uncle Hu is in charge of this silver." ”

Steward Hu shook his head, and he sighed: "The old slave is already old, although he has the heart to serve the young lady for a few more years, but now he is unable to do so." ”

Liu Xuan looked at his temples and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Uncle Hu, isn't this going to go with me?" That She Huanxue must know the relationship between you and me, and if you don't leave, you will definitely be implicated. ”

"The old slave is not afraid." Steward Hu raised a smile on his face: "The old slave has lived to such an age, he can serve the old lady when he is young, and he can follow the young lady for so many years when he is old, it is enough, even if he closes his eyes tonight, he is also smiling, and he is happy to see the young lady so presumably the old lady has knowledge under the spring." ”

"What nonsense is Uncle Hu talking about?" Liu Xuan saw that he had the heart to die, so he immediately stopped: "Even if Uncle Hu doesn't want to abandon Yizhou with me, he should live well, Uncle Hu and I are really relatives in the name of the master and servant, how can we have the heart to abandon Xuan'er." ”

Seeing that Liu Xuan was angry, Steward Hu took his mouth: "The old slave is old and says some nonsense, Miss don't take it to heart, please take these silver Miss please take it away, I have collected the money for the righteous son, although the old slave can no longer follow the young lady, but the money is a good one, when the young lady settles down, he will be able to help one or two, and the old slave will guard Yizhou and the Liu family for the young lady." ”

Steward Hu has made up his mind like this, Liu Xuan lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, and Steward Hu did not speak, but the hand that handed over the silver ticket with a resolute expression did not take it back.

Liu Xuan couldn't take him, so he had to take the silver ticket and take a step back: "If Uncle Hu really wants to stay, he will join the old servants of the Liu family, and it is true that Xuan'er has already met the old servants of the Liu family, and wants to buy a house elsewhere for them to support their old age, if Uncle Hu does not want to leave, he will join them." ”

Steward Hu smiled and touched his goatee: "That's right!" I also have some friendship with them, and it's good to have a companion together when I'm old. ”

Liu Xuan is reluctant to spend her old age like this in Steward Hu's heart, but she can't resist him, she can understand the old servants of the Liu family and move her feelings, but for Steward Hu, these are useless, he can see everything clearly.

After thinking about it, he may have left for a year or two and then came back, and he didn't persuade him anymore at the moment, Steward Hu was really old, and it was really inappropriate to run around with him, so he arranged it like this first.

When she returned to Beiyuan, Honglu was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Liu Xuan, she complained, complaining that she had left herself running around and only came back now, and Liu Xuan only smiled at her complaints.

The maid who was arranged by Liu Xuan to inquire about the house came back before her, and when Honglu went to prepare for food, Liu Xuan called the maid in to inquire about the situation.

The maid replied: "There is only one house that Miss likes is for sale, and the price is not low, I wonder if Miss can buy that house?" ”

Liu Xuan nodded: "You will do this tomorrow." ”

Liu Xuan finished eating and bathing and fell asleep, but she always couldn't fall asleep when she lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and for some reason she was always a little uneasy in her heart, maybe because of Steward Hu's words to close her eyes, or because of Liu Zhiqing's departure today, she tossed and turned for a long time before she fell asleep in a daze.

Halfway through sleep, he heard the noise outside, Liu Xuan was startled and hurriedly got up and put on a robe and walked out of the door, there was a scream of pain outside, Liu Xuan shouted loudly in the courtyard: "What happened? What about people?! ”

As soon as she finished drinking, Hongzhi stumbled in from outside the hospital, and Liu Xuan saw tears on her face, and her heart was groaning: "What happened to Hongmao?" Why is it so noisy? ”

Honglu stumbled to Liu Xuan, and as soon as she arrived in front of her, she knelt down with a pop, she cried and said vaguely: "Miss is not good, Yipinxiang was burned due to fire." ”

Liu Xuan's heart was flustered, and her feet were a little unstable, she hurriedly gathered her mind and stood up again: "How long has it been burning?" What about the people who live in the incense? What about Steward Hu? ”

Hearing her ask, Hongyu cried even louder: "It's been burning for more than half an hour, and it's ...... inside." None of them escaped, and it was only when the officials came to report to us that they found out. ”

Liu Xuan closed her eyes and felt desolate in her heart, she took a deep breath and asked, "What about the servant?" ”

"The official finished the report and left." Hongyu cried and panted: "Miss...... Steward Hu...... Steward Hu, is he gone?! ”

Liu Xuan's whole person was in a state of confusion, she didn't want to believe this, obviously Steward Hu was fine when she left, why did she sleep for a while and things became like this, she remembered Steward Hu's smiling face touching his goatee, thinking of his white temples, her eyes suddenly blurred.

Liu Xuan took a deep breath: "Go, prepare a carriage for me, I want to go and see it myself." ”

Hongyu hurriedly got up and wiped her tears, choked and ran outside, Liu Xuan put on her coat, she moved in an orderly manner, but the button was buttoned several times before it was buttoned, and she roughly lifted her feet out of the yard.

In a courtyard, I saw the red eyes of all the servants, these servants were all found for her by Steward Hu, and after they were all poor, they were all grateful to Steward Hu, and now they all cried when they heard the bad news.

When they saw Liu Xuan coming out, they were silent, they all knew the relationship between Steward Hu and Miss, but they were afraid that Miss was the most uncomfortable person now.

Liu Xuan's feet kept going directly out of the garden, the carriage at the gate of the garden was ready, the red lotus was waiting by the carriage, Liu Xuan walked straight to the carriage and sat down, the red lotus also sat in, the red lotus ordered outward: "Go to a pinxiang, hurry up!" ”

Liu Xuan sat on the carriage and her mind was still a little chaotic, she felt that she was very likely to be just in a dream, and when she woke up from the dream and dawned, she would find that Uncle Hu was still there, and Yipinxiang was still there.

The enchanting fire burned red and dark in the night, and it also shattered the last hope in Liu Xuan's heart.

The street where Yipinxiang is located has long been surrounded by people, everyone is pointing and pointing, the fire has been burning for more than half an hour, and at this moment there are only a few piles of residue left in Yipinxiang are still burning.
