The raging flames lit up half of the sky between Ning Rong and the two mansions.

Tianxiang Building was originally one of the few largest buildings in the two mansions, and this burning was unstoppable, so even if Ning Guofu and even the people of Rongguo Mansion came to fight the fire together, it was almost ineffective.

The fire burned from the second and third floors of the main building, and it became a momentum again, and no one dared to go up, so except for the housekeeper who was still directing the family to fight the fire, everyone else could only watch from afar, watching the fire get bigger and bigger, watching the flames burn higher and higher, and jump to the sky.

Ning Guofu was scarcely populated, and You Shi also rushed over in a coat, looking at this inevitable situation, she immediately decided: "The main building can't be saved, let them go to the side buildings on both sides to see if they can save the side buildings." ”

The practice of losing the handsome and protecting the army is also a helpless move, otherwise, the huge Tianxiang Building will really be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The family obeyed the order and immediately gave up splashing water on the main building, and instead poured water on the side building, pouring water from both sides to the middle, hoping to prevent the fire from spreading horizontally.

I have to say that the firefighting teams of hundreds of people in the two prefectures, and the fact that Huifangxi is not far away, has formed several long firefighting queues, which can suppress the fire on the side of the main building.

It's just that it's only a matter of time before it burns over.

In this regard, You Shi was helpless, so he had to turn around and ask, "Uncle?" How did you go out? ”

It was impossible for Jia Zhen not to know that something so big had happened, but it didn't appear from beginning to end.

It was only when she turned around and asked Jia Rong a question, and saw Jia Rong, who had just arrived, with a panicked face, looking at Tianxianglou in front of her with a frightened face, and even took a step back when she heard her question.

You Shi was dissatisfied: "Brother Rong, let me ask you!" ”

"Yes, yes...... No, no, no, it's not ......."

Jia Rong's tongue was knotted, and she couldn't say a word at all. Seeing this, You Shi was very dissatisfied, he was also a man's family, and he was so frightened that he was like this, fortunately it was not his own son, otherwise he would have died.

So he ignored him and personally commanded the firefighting.

Jia Baoyu also paced over slowly, looking at the raging fire, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he was very confident in his arrangement, he had never set a fire after all, and if the fire was saved, maybe the matter might be revealed, and now this situation is foolproof.

Jia Zhen forced her daughter-in-law to adulterous her, and her daughter-in-law was humiliated, set fire to the building, and died together, a reasonable scandal.

The Jia Mansion will not be extended, and the government will not investigate, and the investigation will not find anything.

In this matter, he used a Bao Yong, and he didn't even know that Bao Yong was relatively simple-minded.

Originally, he wanted to use Jiang Cun, but unfortunately, although he also trusted Jiang Cun, Jiang Cun was the second prince after all. I don't know when he became wary of the second prince, and he didn't dare to expose all his affairs under the eyes of the second prince anymore.

He walked up to You Shi and said, "If this continues, the fire will burn sooner or later." Taking advantage of the fact that the fire is upstairs now, let them move as many valuable things as they can from the attic, and they can always stop losses. In addition, water alone can no longer save this fire, so we have to find another way. ”

Due to the limitations of the times, there is no high-pressure water cannon, the fire-fighting conditions are too simple, the bungalows are barely saved, and the effect of saving the buildings is almost equal to zero.

You Shi was also a little flustered, if Tianxiang Tower was completely burned down, the loss to Ning Guofu would be too great.

So she hurriedly asked, "According to you, what should I do?" ”

Jia Baoyu didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "Pick up the mud and sand from the Huifang Creek, and pour it down from the side building to the middle crack." Then take the thin mud and put the corners of the place with mud, the thicker the better.

As for whether the wings on both sides can be saved, it depends on whether the time comes up in time. ”

When You Shi heard this, although she didn't know why Jia Baoyu felt that it was better to use soil than water at this time, she also saw that the previous method was not very effective, so she had to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

was about to ask Jia Rong to arrange, but when he turned around, where was there any trace of Jia Rong? cursed Jia Rong and Jia Zhen father and son thousands of times in his heart, and finally could only say to Jia Baoyu: "Good brother, I am a woman's family, I will ask you to preside over here, if you can suppress this fire, sister-in-law, I thank you heavily!" ”

Jia Baoyu glanced at her and nodded.

So You immediately called Lai Sheng and his wife and several other housekeepers, told Jia Baoyu what he had said before, and told them to obey Jia Baoyu's arrangement.

Jia Baoyu took the order and was not perfunctory, and immediately took action.

In this way, the arsonist became the captain of the fire, which is also a wonderful thing.

In the Yihong Courtyard of the Grand View Garden, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others gradually came here.

The fire was so big that even Jia Mu and the others couldn't calm down at all, so they had to come to this place very close to Tianxianglou to watch, and ordered Yingchun and the others to stay in the garden and not run around.

"Old lady, it is indeed a fire in Tianxianglou, which has become a trend, and it is estimated that it will not be saved."

Zhou Rui's family ran into Yihong Courtyard and said so.

"How can this be, how can it burn so badly......"

Jia Mu and the others all gathered in the backyard, looking up at the blazing night sky in front of them, and there were many frightened people.

After Mrs. Wang heard this, she asked Zhou Rui's family again: "You go and see it again, maybe it will be burned in the garden?" ”

Zhou Rui's family immediately said: "Mrs. Hui, it shouldn't be burned, Second Master Bao has already asked the little servants to move all the things that can be burned around, and even the trees that should be cut down have been cut down, so it shouldn't burn into the garden." ”

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in surprise: "What, Baoyu went over there?" ”

Madame Wang almost jumped up. When the fire broke out just now, she immediately ordered to call all the little guys to go over to put out the fire, which is also reasonable, the two mansions were originally one family, but Jia Baoyu couldn't go.

He was already injured and physically inconvenient, so what if he burned and smashed it again?

So he ordered Zhou Rui's family to immediately call Jia Baoyu back.

Mother Jia also heard it here, she and Mrs. Wang were almost the same, and immediately scolded: "What did Brother Zhen and Brother Rong do when such a big thing happened, and they still want him to command the firefighting??" ”

Zhou Rui's family couldn't answer, so they had to run out silently and pass along a corner gate between the garden and Ningguo Mansion Huifang Garden.

Downstairs in Tianxiang, when she heard Zhou Rui's family come to pass on the orders of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu just asked her to go back, saying that he would take a look outside and would not risk himself, and then he didn't pay attention to it.

At one time, a housekeeper came to report: "The officers and soldiers patrolling the city outside the gate came to ask what was going on, and also asked if they needed men and horses to come in to help put out the fire." ”

In any big city, fire prevention is an important task for the government to do, let alone the capital. Because once burned, the damage is immeasurable.

Although Tianxianglou was in Jiafu's own house, the fire that rushed to the sky still attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers on the night patrol.

"I don't need to go back and say no, as for the cause of the fire, we don't know it ourselves, and when the fire subsides, we will go to the government to report it."

The steward took the order and departed.

It was not surprising that those officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night saw that the Jia family refused to ask for help. Knowing that the Jia family was not worried about them entering the house, and second, they were afraid that they would collide with their families.

Besides, there are many people in the Houmen Mansion, and they do have the ability to fight fires by themselves. Therefore, the officers and soldiers did not force it, but just watched the surrounding streets, and as long as the fire did not spread, they would not care.

Jia Yu's east courtyard also borders Huifang Garden, and he was so frightened that he jumped left and right in the room, constantly urging people to fetch water, watering the wall behind him, and watering some trees.

The housekeeper said don't worry, Tianxianglou is far away and can't burn it, but he scolded: "Nonsense, such a big fire, when the wind blows, where can't it burn?" If you don't go quickly, you really have to burn it over, and burn the things in my courtyard a little, and you can't afford to pay for your life. ”

Jia Yu is really worried, although his East Cross Courtyard is not big, but there are many valuable things!

It's all squandered and piled up by him for most of his life, all kinds of curiosities, and his little wives......

The housekeeper had to go down to make arrangements, and came back for a while and said, "If the master is not at ease, it is better to cut down all the trees in the backyard, so that no matter how strong the wind is, it will not be easy to blow over." ”

Jia Yu scolded: "Fart, those are all rare and exotic species that I bought from all over the world, each one is a treasure, how can I cut it down?" If you say anything like that, I'll cut off your head! ”

The steward was speechless, and could only command his subordinates, and there were people standing under every tree and every section of the courtyard wall, constantly watering them.

There are also hundreds of people in the East Cross Courtyard, although most of them are women, but there are also some small families. When the fire broke out, they originally wanted to go to Ningguo Mansion to put out the fire, but Jia Yu asked them to protect their homes first......
