Chapter 271: Jingzhong (4)
Seeing Aunt He coming over, Zhen Xuan didn't know why.
Duan urged.
Aunt He opened her mouth and said, "There are people outside who are walking on the water, it's so smoky, look at the direction of Qinghua Hutong." ”
Zhen Xuan's heart tightened, and he confessed to the eldest master and the Duan family, and walked out of the house. Sure enough, standing in the courtyard, you can see smoke rising in the distance, and it is black and straight into the sky. Zhen Xuan had just lived in Qinghua Hutong, and she only knew the approximate location, but she couldn't see it accurately. Aunt He has lived in Beijing for so long, and she will not deviate too much after all.
Duan's also came out, and when he saw this posture, he frowned, and instructed Aunt He, "Go and prepare a car for Seventh Aunt and Grandma." When Aunt He answered, she said to Zhen Xuan again, "Walking on the water is a big deal, and I can't tell whose house it is from a distance, but it's close to you, so it's better for you to go back and have a look earlier." ”
Zhen Xuan thought so too.
Duan's perennial housekeeper is very experienced in doing things, so he comforted Zhen Xuan and said: "Don't worry, there are not many people you bring into Beijing, and I will call a few mothers-in-law to go with you in the car in a while." When walking the water, everyone is busy putting out the fire, and the neighboring people are often exposed to the water. When they come back, they will report to me again, and we are all at ease. ”
The Duan family has good intentions, and the Xia family is indeed short of manpower now, so Zhen Xuan did not shirk and responded.
Aunt He came in a hurry, and said, "The carriage is parked outside the second gate, and my aunt can leave at any time." ”
Zhen Xuan was about to go with Aunt He, when she suddenly thought of something and entered the main house with Duan.
The eldest man is still watching Zhen Heng's article, and he is very fascinated.
Zhen Xuan couldn't delay, so she could only interrupt loudly: "Uncle." Do you recognize the prefect of Suzhou? Mr. Zhang. ”
The eldest lord raised his head. looked at Zhen Xuan in confusion.
Duan was mentioned by Zhen Xuan. I remembered the post that Zhen Xuan handed to her on the boat that day, I don't know how Governor Zhang knew that the Pei family was on the Xia family's boat, and asked someone to send two maids to serve Zhen Lin.
Duan Shi hurriedly told the eldest master about this, and asked Zhen Xuan again: "Those two are still with you now?" ”
"Yes, I don't know the background of Master Zhang, and I don't know the origin of those two, so I don't dare to send them at will, so I just let people watch." Zhen Xuan replied.
"Zhang Pei, is this person......" The old man's face was pale. He snorted heavily.
Seeing this, Duan personally added tea to him.
The eldest man took a sip, and it was difficult to suppress the anger in his heart, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of idea is this from the Zhang family!" The last time I was used as a gunman, this time I want to add a few more grudges? ”
Seeing that neither the Duan family nor Zhen Xuan understood it, the eldest lord explained again: "Zhang Pei is the same brother of the queen's mother. ”
The two suddenly realized that they had not been connected before because the surname Zhang was too common.
Empress Zhang is the biological mother of the Six Princes, and Cheng Langyuan took refuge in the Six Princes to sing such a big drama in Beijing, which harmed Zhenlin, if it weren't for the current peak. Zhen Lin's whole life was ruined.
And the six princes and the Zhang family obviously didn't take much advantage. It's too ugly to do, and it's true.
But no matter who contributed more and who did less in the fight of the gods, the Zhang family was put at the forefront, and the relationship between the Pei family and the Zhang family was self-evident.
Zhang Pei sent two maids and wanted them to marry Zhenlin.
Thinking about it, I also know how the Pei family let these two people enter the Seven Princes' Mansion, it is still a trivial matter to win favor, and it is a troublesome thing to be an internal assassin.
If you have the intention to add hatred, this hatred is not added like this.
But if it is a gesture of goodwill, it is even more inexplicable.
Although the people around the six princes have had some difficulties since Zhen Lin was given marriage.
In the Jinluan Palace that year, it was they who kept accusing the Pei family of having no way to teach their daughters, but the original sin of the Pei family's "goddaughters without a way" Zhen Lin actually asked the emperor to point out to the seventh prince as a side concubine, can a woman who can be a royal daughter-in-law be immoral and unhonorable? Even if they are of bad character, they don't have the courage to sing against the emperor at this time.
The words have already been spoken, even if he kneels on the Jinluan Palace, he can't swallow back the spit that spewed out, I just hope that the emperor will not turn over the old accounts at this moment, the Zhang family and the six princes are very careful these days.
No matter how careful you are, you don't have to do anything to send a maid.
Zhen Xuan thought about it, but didn't understand what Zhang Pei was trying to do, and he didn't know if this was the meaning of the Six Princes, or if Zhang Pei figured it out alone.
However, those two maids can't always be locked up in the backyard, they have to be dealt with.
Zhen Xuan asked what the eldest master meant.
The eldest lord pondered for a while and said: "No matter what their identity was in the past, if the deed of sale is complete, they are your maids, you sent two maids, Zhang Pei is not happy, what can you do?" ”
Zhen Xuan nodded, the maid beside her, as long as she found a mistake, she would naturally be able to get rid of it.
And if you really want to find the fault of the maid, how can there be none.
Bidding farewell to the eldest master and the Duan family, Zhen Xuan was sent by Aunt He to the second gate, the carriage was ready, and Zhen Xuan saw that there was still a car parked behind her.
Aunt He saw that Zhen Xuan was watching, so she said, "It was Mrs. who asked for a few more people." ”
Zhen Xuan bowed her head and said to Aunt He: "I originally told my second master that he came to pick me up before dinner, but I left first, and I didn't have time to inform him. ”
Aunt He responded: "Grandma don't worry, the slave will tell the concierge, and when the aunt comes, tell him that the aunt has gone back." ”
Zhen Xuan got into the carriage and left the Shilang Mansion.
Xing Aya opened the corner of the curtain and looked out, and exclaimed, "Why does it seem to be bigger than the smoke just now?" ”
Zhen Xuan frowned, feeling uneasy.
The more you go to the direction of Dongdajie, the more people there are, and the closer you are, you can see that the smoke is really in the blue and white alley.
After turning the corner of the alley, Zhen Xuan looked out by herself, and couldn't help but feel cold behind her.
The one who walks the water is the Xia family.
Tao Aya Liao's face turned white and exclaimed, "Is it really our family?" Why do the good ones go away? ”
The fire was started from the inner courtyard, and the wind was not strong today, so it did not affect the two families next door.
Zhen Xuan got out of the car and walked directly to the place where the fire started, the courtyard of the third and fourth entrances was fine, and when he went around to the garden, he saw Fang Xianyu's family who was fetching water in the pool to put out the fire, and then went inside, and the warehouse of the fifth entry was burned.
There was a mess here, Fang Huaide stood on crutches and commanded people, Fang Xianyu and the two rough mothers-in-law went back and forth to fetch water, and the two second-class chess were also carried and resisted.
There are still some open fires in the warehouse, probably because it has rained and damp in the past few days, and the smoke is bigger than the fire, which is very choking.
Fang Huaide saw Zhen Xuan coming back, and hurriedly came over to pay his respects.
Zhen Xuan shook his head and said, "Steward Fang, let's put out the fire first." ”
Fang Huaide nodded heavily, and went to urge Fang Xianyu and the rest of the family.
Seeing this, the mothers-in-law brought by the Pei family asked the location of the spare bucket and helped carry the water.
After half an hour of busy back and forth, the open flames were clean, but the smoke could not be dispersed.
Zhen Xuan took a look, the north main house, the west wing room were already dark, and the temperature had not yet dropped, so it was not good to ask people to go in to check the loss. Seeing that everyone who had finished fighting the fire was all disgraced and embarrassed, he said, "Let's go and clean up first, and talk back and forth in the flower hall." ”
Fang Huaide was old, he didn't make any effort to stand on the side, he looked neat up and down, he didn't go back, and went to the flower hall with Zhen Xuan.
As soon as Zhen Xuan sat down, Xia Yiqing came back.
Xia Yiqing was in a hurry, anxiously written on his face, he stayed indoors, did not see the black smoke, and when he knew that the blue and white alley was gone, he asked Rijin to go to the Shilang Mansion to pick up Zhen Xuan, and he rushed back non-stop, and when he entered the house, he knew that Zhen Xuan had arrived.
After asking Zhen Xuan a few words, he was slightly relieved to learn that the fire was extinguished, and turned his head to look at Fang Huaide.
Fang Huaide's face was bloodless, his body was a little shaky, Xia Yiqing looked at the seat, he didn't push this time, and sat on half a chair: "Second Master Xie and Second Grandma, the slaves are old and a little weak." ”
Zhen Xuan could see that Fang Huaide was anxious and annoyed, his face was flushed with heat before, but it had turned white at this time.
He didn't wait for Xia Yiqing to ask, so he said what he knew.
Fang Huaide went out of the house for Xia Yiqing at noon, and he was afraid that his son would not do well, so he went in person. When he was about to return, he saw smoke coming out.
At that time, the smoke was a little big, and he came back in a hurry, his son and daughter-in-law were already dumbfounded, and Fang Huaide was also panicked, but he was finally an old steward, knew how to do things, and commanded people to put out fires.
Luckily, the fire didn't spread to the next door, and it didn't burn to the front, but the smoke was too big, and it took them a long time to suppress the fire.
As for how it was burned, Fang Huaide didn't know, he didn't have time to ask Fang Xianyu's two in-laws.
Fang Xianyu and his family changed their clothes and came over, looking very cramped, seeing Xia Yiqing and Zhen Xuan, he knelt down and said: "Second master, second grandmother, it's useless to be a slave, and I don't take a good look at my home." ”
Zhen Xuan looked them up and down.
Fang Xianyu wiped his face, probably absent-mindedly, there were still a few places on his face that had not been wiped clean, it was black, the back of his hand was red, it was permed, and his hair was also burnt; Fang Xianyu's family was slightly better, his eyes were swollen, and he seemed to have cried.
Listening to Xia Yiqing's questioning, Fang Xianyu trembled and said, "The slave only knew that there was a fire when he heard this mother-in-law screaming." ”
Fang Xianyu's family should be harmonious: "The slave maid took Tianbao to talk to the chess girl, and suddenly smelled a burnt smell, was going out to look for it, and met Xie's mother, she pointed to the treasury and said to the slave and maid that the water was gone, and the chess girl rushed over to see, and the slave and maid ran to the front yard to call the master." ”
Zhiqi also came at this time, and when she heard this, she nodded: "That's true." ”
Xia Yiqing didn't ask again, according to what he said now, the first one among them to find was Mrs. Xie.
Zhen Xuan knew what Xia Yiqing meant, and asked Zhiqi, "What about Mother Xie?" ”
Zhiqi leaned down and said to Zhen Xuan: "Mother Xie, Mother Luo, Musk Yue, and Huaixiang will come soon, and those two will be watched by Tao Aya and Xing Aya for the time being." (To be continued......)
