Ask for collections, ask for tickets~~——

The door of the corner door had been removed, leaning against the gray and white wall, and all that remained in the courtyard was the blackened beams and pillars of the roof, and only the frame of the three rooms was still standing, and the wood was charred by the fire, and it was unknown when it would collapse.

Even so, there are still many mothers-in-law in and out of the East Cross Courtyard to clean up, and the two bodies have been carried out.

Chu Lunxu sat on the steps outside the main house, the cloak that Li Shi held in his hand was draped over him at night, his face was stained with a few pieces of black ash, his clothes were not clean, the wolf was unbearable, and there were a few blisters on his palms, it seemed that he rushed in to look for it as soon as the fire was extinguished.

Li accompanied him with red and swollen eyes, and held Chu Weixuan, who was already asleep, in his arms.

Seeing everyone coming back, Chu Weichen stood up, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and asked for peace.

When Li heard this, he also got up and went to pull Chu Lunxu again.

Chu Lunxu didn't move, Li even pulled and dragged him, and got the help of the mother-in-law on the side to pull Chu Lunxu up.

"How can you go out of the water......" Chu Lun muttered a few times, suddenly looked up at Mrs. Zhang, and said hoarsely, "Mother, how can you go out of the water?" ”

Without the slightest cover-up, Chu Lunxu put his suspicions on his face.

Old Lady Zhang pursed her lips and sneered, and walked over to the concubine, and when she passed by Chu Lunxu's side, she paused, looked up slightly at the concubine who was a head taller than her, and said word by word: "Yes, Lunxu, you sue me, you took Wei Xuan to watch the fireworks in the yard last night, why didn't you find out that your aunt's yard was burning for the first time?" ”

Chu Lun shook his body, staggered back a few steps, hid his face and cried: "Why didn't I notice it......"

Mrs. Zhang didn't pay any attention to him anymore and went straight into the house.

The fire dragon in the main house burned all night, and it was warm at this time.

Mrs. Zhang untied her cloak and leaned crookedly on the Luohan bed, and Chu Lunyu went to pour the tea in person, only to find that the water in the teapot was already cold.

There was a wooden barrel under the table, Chu Lunyu took a look, the thick cotton blanket was still a little warm, and he was about to take out the teapot in it, but asked Mrs. Zhang to stop.

"Don't toss, let the people below do this kind of thing. You all go back first, freshen up and change into new clothes, and don't delay for the New Year. ”

Chu Lunyu hesitated a little, Holly came over to take over, and then he bowed and withdrew with a pair of children.

In the yard, the water trail froze last night, and Zhao's mother was leading people to clean up, and when she saw the masters coming out in turn, she hurriedly said: "But be careful of your feet." ”

Chu Weilin looked down at the road, but heard an "oops" at the door, and when she looked up, she saw that it was a woman dressed in joy who slipped her foot, and the little maid in the concierge quickly held it up, so she didn't sit down.

Mother Zhao went out to see when she heard the voice, and when she saw the people coming, she smiled: "Why is the old sister here?" ”

"When I got up early in the morning, my wife heard that she was walking in the water last night, and she was anxious to remember it, so she asked me to come and have a look." The woman said while going to the main house with Zhao's mother, passing by the masters, and stopping to say hello.

Chu Weilin looked up and down, and it turned out to be Xu's mother, who was in charge of the Huang family.

Yishuntang walked the water, and it stands to reason that the Huang family should go in person, but today it happened to be the first day of the first lunar month, and there were a bunch of things inside and outside the long room, and the Huang family couldn't pull away, so he had to let Xu's mother come over.

Chu Weilin and Chu Weicong followed Chu Lunyu to their own yard.

Along the way, Lu's mother talked about the arrangements carefully, knowing that the time was tight today, Chu Lunyu and Chu Weicong were afraid that it would be too late to go back to the front yard to change clothes, and the hot water had already been prepared in the main courtyard, and the people who were waiting in the front yard were also asked to bring new clothes over to save this fatigue.

Qinghui Yuan naturally has everything, and Baolian waits for Chu Weilin to bathe and change clothes.

"What kind of clothes do you have?" Chu Weilin asked.

"The new one made two months ago," Baolian said, seeing Chu Weilin frowning, she understood after a little thought, "Change that goose yellow one, right?" ”

Chu Weilin nodded, and Baolian called Bao Jin to quickly go to the smoker, although Bao Jin was puzzled, she still did it obediently.

After cleaning up, I went to the main courtyard, and boarded the car with my father and younger brother to Changfang Zhangrong Courtyard.

Zhangrong Courtyard is the residence of Mrs. Wen, located in the middle of the inner courtyard of the long house, and it is convenient to go to the courtyard of the wives and girls below.

Xu is Chu Weilin has not spoken and looked preoccupied, Chu Lunyu soothed: "I know that you are not in good spirits if you haven't slept all night, but in the first day of the new year, the rules of the elders in the family are unavoidable, and when it gets dark, rest early, and you must not go out to visit your relatives these days." That...... There are elders in the water, you don't have to worry, maybe the firecracker star fell into the East Cross Courtyard. ”

Chu Weilin looked at her father, in the green curtain car, the light was not bright, and the sunlight fell on Chu Lunyu's face through the curtain, with a tired face, but what Chu Weilin read was more about the worry about his children in his father's eyes, and her heart tightened.

My father always thinks about them like this, no matter the wind or rain, he wants to do his best for them.

Chu Weicong on the side tilted his head slightly, opened his mouth to ask something, Chu Weilin held his brother's hand and shook his head: "Father is right, let's celebrate the New Year happily." ”

Chu Weicong looked at Chu Lunyu, then at Chu Weilin, and finally responded with a smile.

Chu Lunyu smiled lightly, the car stopped and swung his pedals, he went down first, and then helped his children get out of the car with his own hands, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the car of the old lady in front of him had just arrived, and he walked over quickly.

Chu Weicong leaned over and winked at Chu Weilin, and said in a suppressed voice: "What are you happy to celebrate the New Year, if that's the case, what did you do to change the goose yellow?" ”

After that, without waiting for Chu Weilin to react, he chased after Chu Lunyu.

Chu Weilin was stunned in place, shaking her head with a smile, Chu Weicong's mind was also meticulous.

It doesn't matter if it's red or goose yellow, it's always a new dress, and you can wear that set, but she reads the burned East Cross Courtyard, and she really doesn't need to use red to attract her eyes, which makes Mrs. Zhang unhappy and causes trouble for herself.

Chu Lunyu comforted them with kindness, but neither Chu Weilin nor Chu Weicong, who forcibly suppressed the doubt, didn't believe that it was just an accident.

There are no piles of things in the patio of the east courtyard, and the roof tiles are neat, so it is unlikely that even if a spark falls, it is unlikely to ignite, and such a big fire should have started from the house.

In the situation like last night, if you hadn't deliberately paid attention to the East Cross Courtyard, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to find out that there was a fire there.

The east cross courtyard is not high, standing in the courtyard of Yishun Hall, you can't see there, and the corner gate has dropped the key early, so you can't see the inside. On weekdays, you can still detect something wrong from the burnt smell, but yesterday happened to be the most lively time for firecrackers, and the air was full of the smell of gunpowder, which would not attract attention at all.

By the time the flames of the East Cross Courtyard soared into the sky and attracted everyone's attention, it was already beyond the reach of the whip.
