Chapter 6: Out of Control

At the same time, Weiyuan Houfu.

Outside the study, Lu Xi looked at the sky, and saw that it was all over, the door of the study was still closed, and there was no movement, he hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Childe ....."

In the room, Lu Yuancheng, who had been sitting all night, came back to his senses, and when he saw the sky outside the window, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked after a while: 'What time is it?' ”

"Hui Gongzi, just past the beginning of the year." Lu Xi replied outside.

Hearing this, Lu Yuancheng rubbed his sore forehead and stood up, walked around to the table, and said lightly: "Come in." “

With the order, Lu Xi hurriedly motioned to the maids behind him to follow, and he took the lead in pushing the door in, and the maids behind him were holding a basin of water, and their clothes were followed by him.

After a while, Lu Yuancheng was served by the maids to wash up, but he was still thinking about yesterday's events in his mind.

Yesterday, he took the opportunity to stay in the Imperial History Mansion for a few hours, during which he also avoided his subordinates and went to the study to investigate, but the result was nothing.

The list that shocked the government and the opposition three years later is not in the Imperial History Mansion at the moment!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown deeply.......

Seeing this, Lu Xi on the side said with concern: "What is the difficulty of the son?" ”

Rebirth is a big secret, and this matter is too complicated, Rao Lu Xi is his cronies, and Lu Yuancheng didn't intend to say it, so he only said lightly: "Well, I thought about something, by the way, how did you do what I told you yesterday?" ”

Lu Xi immediately replied: "Hui Gongzi, I have inquired clearly, but that Wen Xiaolangjun is not a permanent servant of the fourth division of Wang Ji, but a substitute sponsored by an acquaintance. ”

"Then find someone who asked him to do the work." Lu Yuancheng straightened his sleeves.

"The villain also thinks the same way, I have been to that house yesterday, but unfortunately, the family happened to go out, and the little one wants to run again today."

Lu Yuancheng nodded, looked out the window and said, "I'm keeping an eye on this matter, and I'll report it as soon as I find my residence." ”

"Yes." Lu Xi respectfully agreed.

At this end, Lu Yuancheng saw that the green bricks outside were slightly wet and the leaves were fresh and green, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself, "It's raining?" ”

Lu Xi on the side thought he was asking him, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's been a quarter of an hour, and the rain is due to come in time, otherwise I don't know how many people will be involved in the fire in the north of the city." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuancheng's hand that straightened his cuffs slammed and said in shock: "What did you say!" The north of the city is watery? ”

Lu Xi didn't know why he was so excited, so he said with some apprehension: "Yes, it is said that the fire is quite big, and the submarine fire team tried their best to put out the fire for nearly an hour, but they still burned down more than forty or fifty houses. ”

Lu Yuancheng's brows furrowed after hearing this, and at the same time, a heart in his chest was beating rapidly.

Why didn't he remember that in the second year of Tiansheng, there was a fire in the north of the city!

Yesterday there was nothing in the Imperial History Mansion, and now there is an unexpected natural disaster, what went wrong?

Thinking of this, a sense of crisis popped up in his heart for no reason.......

It turns out that when you are reborn and return, not everything can be controlled.....

In Xiaocha Lane, Wentai was cleaning up the stagnant water in the low-lying areas of the courtyard, while looking at the blackened shop and sighing again and again.

Wen Shu moved a small square stool and sat by the well, cleaning all the pots and pans that had been brought out of the kitchen one by one, while calculating in his mind what he had lost and the money needed to repurchase.

Outside the door, the hawker's cries were clearly heard.

"Trowel...... Freshly steamed fish steamed buns, steamed steamed buns..."

"Vegetable cakes, meat cakes, hibiscus cakes.... It's all fresh out of the pot. ”

"Sell soup, cardamom soup.... There are all kinds of soup, jade soup, and mint. ”

Wen Shu heard many strange cries that he had never heard before, and said in his heart: Today is more lively than before.

After thinking about it, I also understood that now eight out of ten households in the alley have suffered a disaster, and this early in the morning, it is estimated that no one is in the mood to make breakfast.

Thinking of this, she felt the emptiness in her belly, so she put down the work in her hand, opened the courtyard door, and beckoned to a trowel seller outside the door.

"Little brother, do you have a plain trowel?"

"Yes, yes, how many do you want for the little lady?" The peddler came over with a cart diligently.

Wen Shu thought for a moment and replied, "Four." ”

"Holo." The peddler parked the cart steadily, neatly took out a piece of oiled paper, picked up four plain trowels and put them on, and then asked: "I still have the little lady's favorite sugar meat trowel here, do you want to take two of them?" ”

Wen Shu shook his head politely: "No, I'm tired of eating meat in the past two days, so I want to eat some vegetarian." As he spoke, he handed the two pennies for the trowel to the vendor.

Turning around and closing the courtyard door, she said to Jishui Wentai, who was cleaning the courtyard, "Dad, eat something first, and then get it later." ”

Hearing this, Wentai put down the broom and walked over, he got up in the middle of the night to fight the fire and was busy this morning, and his stomach was already hungry.

Taking the trowel handed by Wen Shu, he said with a slightly stunned face: "Why is it a trowel, don't you like to eat Zhang's meatloaf the most on weekdays?" As he spoke, he broke the trowel and said, "It's still unstuffed." ”

Wen Shu said sadly: "This time is different from the past, our shop has just suffered a disaster, and I don't know how much money it will cost to rebuild in the future. ”

Wentai shook his head again and again when he heard this, but he didn't say anything at the moment, and the father and daughter stood at the stone table like this, and ate the two palm-sized trowels dryly in the slightly humid and cold air.

After breakfast, the father and daughter continued their unfinished work.

After all the cleaning work was done, the two got together again and began to take stock of the things lost in the fire at home, and finally listed two long lists, which Wen Shu memorized, and later went to the market to buy them back.

After a rough estimate of the prices on the two lists, Wen Shu's already worried face was wrinkled together in an instant.

"Three times money! It's not easy to earn some silver in this world, but it's like flowing water! As he spoke, he slapped the list on the table angrily.

Wen Tai on the side shook his head and sighed, then took the list on the table and said: "The statute of the government has not come down yet, I have nothing to do today, leave the work of this purchase to me, you still have to study next day, and you will study more while you are free now." ”

Thinking of the silver that would be spent like flowing water, Wen Shu nodded with the concept of not being out of sight and out of mind.

As soon as Wentai left, Wen Shu looked at the courtyard and there was no work to do, so he went back to the room to warm the book as he said.
