Li Mengming looked a little flattered, the concubine did not have to cover the Xipa, at this time, her beautiful face became more and more dazzling under the candlelight, and the few wrinkles that appeared slightly at the corners of Dou Qing'e's eyes formed an ironic contrast.

Li Mingming was still hesitating, and Qin Zhen on the side took the initiative to speak: "It's rare for Qing'e's wife to be so polite, it seems that this half-month ritual Buddha can really purify people's hearts." ”

He called himself "Qing'e's wife", he hadn't called himself like this for many years, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Dou Qing'e's mouth, she had done so much for the Qin family, he had never praised it, and now he just sent two hairpins to his new favorite concubine, but he was full of tenderness, this is the man she struggled to monopolize.

"Hmph, it's not all face-dependent." After the tea, it was naturally Qin Zhen who was carrying the flower candle in Li Mingming's cave room, and Aunt Liu, who had been aggrieved for a long time, finally couldn't help it, she spatted at the happy room with the big red happy word, and continued, "If it weren't for her appearance like ......." ”

"Sister Liu," Aunt Chang suddenly pulled her to stop her mouth, motioned to Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan, who were sitting on the side, and frowned, "The children are still here, why do you bother talking about those old things." ”

At night, it should have been a very stable time, and it should have been a time when Qin Zhen scored twice.

But when it was almost the third watch, a noisy shout rushed into Qin Yunuan's eardrums.

"It's on fire! Begonia Temple is on fire! Come and put out the fire! ”

On the night of the concubine, there was a fire, but I don't know if it was man-made or calamity. Qin Yu sat up warmly, hurriedly shouted to listen to the snow on duty at night to take care of Qin Baochuan, pulled up the coat on the hanger and rushed out of the door.

Qin Yunuan saw that Liao's mother had already taken Qin Baochuan out of the room, and hurriedly came to her side, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"The slave doesn't know either," Liao's mother looked at the monstrous fire in the east, which seemed to light up half of the sky, and it seemed that the fire was not small.

Man'er Tong'er also rushed out one after another, putting on a warm cloak for Qin Yunuan.

"Oh no, my father is also in the Begonia Courtyard." Qin Yunuan was startled, and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard with her skirt.

"Three girls, three girls, everyone is fighting the fire, it's too dangerous for you to go." Liao's mother hurriedly stopped Qin Yunuan, not wanting her to take this risk.

"If I don't go, it's the real danger," Qin Yunuan turned around and said, "The snow is melting for a while, the air is humid, and we can't even light a firewood on weekdays, why did the yard that was built suddenly catch up, Mother Liao, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Liao's mother was stunned, she understood in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. There is no doubt that this fire is man-made, if it is aimed at Aunt Li, who has just entered the door, and it can be seen as the intrigue of several aunts, but if it is implicated in Master Qin, it is a great rebellion and a great crime.

Thinking of the previous few times of walking on thin ice, Qin Yunuan at this moment no longer dared to take the slightest risk, not only for herself, but also for Baochuan, for Liao's mother and Tong'er Man'er in the yard.

In the Begonia Courtyard, a one-zhang high tongue of fire was beating on the roof tiles, staining the entire sky with blood red, even if it was more than ten zhang away, Qin Yunuan could feel the heat wave rolling in, and the skin seemed to be plated with a layer of red-hot stones, and the burning sensation in the heart of the cone was so real, it couldn't help but make Qin Yunuan think of the fire in the sedan chair in his previous life.

With palpitations for a while, Qin Yunuan took a few steps back, and happened to be helped by a pair of powerful big hands.

"Cousin Su?" Qin Yunuan raised his head, Su Chenghai under the light of the fire was like a towering tree in the long sea of flowers, solid, calm, and unfazed.

Surrounded by people carrying buckets to scoop water from the well or the courtyard gate to save water, Su Chenghai was most likely also in a hurry to run out, wearing only a white shirt and a wide crane, he saw that although Qin Yunuan was dressed tightly, he only wore an autumn cloak to cover the wind, and frowned.

"How did you come out dressed like this?" The corners of Su Chenghai's mouth twitched slightly, and he took off the warm crane with the bottom fleece and put it on Qin Yunuan, looking at Qin Yunuan subconsciously wanting to refuse, he said in an irrepulsible tone, "Put it on, if it freezes you badly, Aunt Chang has to beg me to find good medicine for you." ”

Qin Yunuan knew that Chang was good to him, but he didn't expect that Su Chenghai would talk like this, domineering but gentle, which made people irresistible, this feeling was terrible, Qin Yunuan shrank his hand, trying to calm himself down.

The fire has been roughly controlled, but this fire came suddenly, plus Qin Zhen was in a good mood today, hugged the beauty, and made an exception to let the mother-in-law and maids who guarded the door go back to pour yellow soup to keep warm, so that the fire had already burned out of the window before it was discovered.

Qin Zhen and Li Mingming, who had just entered the door, rested in the side hall of Cuixuan Courtyard, and the people were busy going in and out of the charcoal fire and adding incense burners.

"Okay, okay, don't be busy, let's go down." When such a thing happened, Qin Zhen was very depressed.

The little maid's eyes flashed: "It was Mrs. who instructed the slaves and maids, she said that let the slaves and maids serve well, Aunt Li is delicate, the charcoal fire is about to burn enough, the lord loves sandalwood, the incense burner should be put away, in addition, Mrs. said that she has now sent someone to clean up a yard again, and she can let Aunt Li move over immediately, as for the cause of the fire, she will wait until the fire is completely extinguished and cooperate with the master to investigate thoroughly." ”

Qin Zhen's heart moved slightly when he heard this, Dou Qing'e's arrangement was intimate and not organized, calm and timely, in the end, she was the housewife who had been in charge for many years, and she could have such thought and courage at a critical juncture.

"Tell Madame how hard she will have to work in the future." Qin Zhen's words were simple, but the meaning of his words couldn't be clearer, and the day when Dou Qing'e would return to power was not far away.

When Qin Zhen said this, Qin Yunuan, who happened to be walked outside the door, listened to it, and when he looked up, he saw Dou Qing'e who was coming in a Mulan green embroidered satin dress, extremely elegant, with an emerald hairpin on his head, and the thin willow eyebrows were not anxious because of the half-month grounding, but became more and more relaxed.

"Mother." Qin Yunuan took the initiative to give a salute. She heard the words in the room clearly, the tyrannical Dou Qing'e in the past turned into a generous housewife, she didn't believe that Dou Qing'e had really changed her temperament, Dou Qing'e was born in the Dou family in Hangzhou, the Dou family has been an official for generations, quite famous, Dou Qing'e is the third lady of the orthodox descendant of the Dou family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is also used to seeing the conspiracy of the inner house.

Dou Qing'e's tone was kind and gentle, her demeanor was light, and she nodded in return, and before there was any more intersection, several people entered the house one after another.

After saluting, Qin Yun, who had already taken off the veil and revealed that beautiful face, had already leaned up with tears in his eyes: "Father, you are not frightened, father, I am worried about the death of Yun makeup."

Qin Zhen pulled out a smile that was not salty or light: "Old Doctor Chen has already come to see it, and it is no big problem, but it is a good ......" He looked back at Li Mingming, who was sitting on the side, but found that Li Mingming, who was originally delicate and silent, suddenly flashed a trace of surprise in her eyes, a slender hand subconsciously covered the corners of her lips, and looked at her gaze, Qin Zhen saw Su Chenghai who was about to enter the house, one was a beautiful girl who was eighteen years old, and the other was a high-spirited young man, Qin Zhen put his fist to his mouth and coughed dryly, Only then did Li Mengming, who had lost her demeanor, come back to her senses, "Mengming, the doctor said that you were frightened and needed to recuperate, what was there important in that room that made you run out of the house and desperately want to go in?" ”

Li Mengming was only wearing a white liner at the moment, and a cloud goose pattern brocade wide and green placket outside, it could be seen that he ran out in a panic, but there were burnt marks on his hair and skirt, and there were ashes hidden in his nails.

"Aunt Li, is there anything important still in the house?" Qin Yunuan naturally also noticed Li Mengming's gaze towards Su Chenghai, "If there is any jewelry, you can tell the maids and women to pay attention, maybe it hasn't burned out, and it's still kept." ”

"No need," Li Mengming rejected Qin Yunuan's kindness, and her expression slowly darkened, "It's just a worthless piece of clothing." ”

There are frequent people from the Begonia Courtyard to report the situation, and the maids are also busy adding tea to the masters, Su Chenghai naturally sat next to Qin Yunuan, at this time Qin Yunuan had already exchanged Su Chenghai's crane to him, so as not to leave someone to talk to, Qin Yunuan, who was originally wearing thin, trembled slightly, but the brazier was also far away, so he could only endure it for a while.

"Give." Su Chenghai handed the freshly brewed hot tea in his hand to Qin Yunuan, and then brought the tea that Qin Yunuan used to warm his hands to himself, raised it to his mouth, and made a gesture to drink.

"It's already cold." Qin Yunuan whispered.

Su Chenghai pursed his lips and smiled, and only said, "I like to drink cold." ”

"Master, the Begonia Courtyard has been clarified, the bedroom has been completely burned down, and the other two ear rooms can be remedied, in addition," the old housekeeper who came to report the news glanced at Li Mengmeng, bowed his head and said, "As for the wedding dress that Aunt Li must rescue from the little one, it should have been completely burned down." ”

Li Mengming looked stunned, and only waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing." ”

Qin Zhen said in a quiet tone: "It's just a piece of clothing, if you like it, I will invite someone from Yuman Embroidery Village to come over tomorrow and make one for you in spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”

Qin Qian's doting on Li Mengming had already stabbed Dou Qing'e's eyes clearly, but she still maintained a generous and generous appearance, and even took over the words: "How can four clothes be enough, now Sister Li is a member of our Qin family, and she is so delicate, if you want me to say, make three sets each in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it just so happens that my brother still has the silk brought by my brother from Jiangnan in the house, but unfortunately the color is too gorgeous, I am wearing, nondescript, my sister is wearing, but it makes people more and more energetic." ”

Seeing that Qin Zhen nodded very satisfied with Dou Qing'e's attitude today, Qin Yunuan's heart was even tighter, if Dou Qing'e was willing to come to the Ming Gun and the knife, it would be fine, just like the previous few times, but if Dou Qing'e was like today in the future, it would not be so easy to deal with.

While talking, everyone gradually arrived, and even Qin Baochuan was hugged by Liao's mother, Xu was already sleeping late because of crazy practice calligraphy, and Qin Baochuan was so tired that he was lying in Liao's mother's arms, sleepy-eyed.

"Last night, Baochuan practiced calligraphy late, and I was a little sleepy." Qin Yunuan explained to Qin Baochuan, but she understood that in Qin Zhen's heart, her dislike for Qin Baochuan was definitely more than he showed.

But there are only a room full of people, but only Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang, who are housekeepers, are missing.
