The summer heat in July and August this year is particularly unbearable, even if it was hot before, there were always a few days of coolness, but this year I don't know why, as if it was on fire, the steamed earth cracked out of the shriveled ravines, and the stone road became a hot iron plate, and you can feel the heat through the soles of your shoes.

Grandmother was afraid of the heat, and she didn't live in the house for long before she moved into the Xishan Courtyard to escape the summer, and the fifth sister naturally followed, but it was only the beginning of July, and it was only hard to see them packing up their big bags and small bags, and now they only have envy.

Pei rummaged through the cabinets and found the lightest soft smoky dress for me to change, although it was slightly more comfortable than other materials, but it still made me sweat just by sitting still, let alone walking back and forth under such a scorching sun.

The weather is dry and dry, and if you are not careful, you will go to the water, and the house is no exception, and it is still the fourth brother's yard that is burning. That night, I couldn't sleep because of the heat when I heard a shout and panic in the courtyard of the fourth brother.

Although it was night, the heat did not subside in the slightest, Pei'er and I were too lazy to move, and the others were very curious, but it was past the curfew, and they were lying on the stools on the wall on the edge of the wall one by one to join in the fun, although what happened was unfortunate, but their appearance was really funny.

Chen got the news and hurried over without even changing his clothes, and found the root cause of the fire under layers of interrogation: the subordinates on the night shift were reckless and forgot to replace the candles that were about to burn out, and the hot wax oil dripped onto the fourth brother's bookcase, and the paper was set on fire, and the fire burned along the bookcase to the screen, and the weather was dry and hot, so it was out of control.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, only the fourth brother, who slept peacefully in the house, was choked by the smoke, and now stood in front of a charred black building in his coat, quite pitiful.

It was caused by an accident, but Chen didn't think so, she always thought that someone was going to be unfavorable to their mother and son, and secretly intimidated everyone. Anyway, these things can't be pushed on my head, I thought I could sit back and relax, but I didn't expect that the Chen family didn't even let me go, and called me over to lecture if there was nothing to do, which is nothing, but it is particularly torturous on the way back and forth, and the concubines are also complaining.

The father felt that the Chen family was making too much of a fuss, so he asked the fourth brother to go to live in the Xishan Courtyard first, and then move back after the yard was repaired, which was just to escape the summer.

The Chen family did not object, the house is so hot, it is good for the baby son to go to the mountains to relax. Unexpectedly, my father's eyes swept around, and he said, "Take Xuan'er with you, she is young and can't stand the heat." ”

Naturally, I was happy, clapped my hands and jumped: "Okay, okay, I'm going to play in the mountains!" ”

The fourth brother smiled a little stiffly, the corners of his mouth were about to twitch, he promised in front of his father, and as soon as his father left, he changed his hexagram, and he packed up his things without saying a word, and slipped away so quietly without saying hello.

It's not been a day or two that he dislikes me, and I don't want to worry about him, so Chen naturally doesn't care about these little things, for her, only the matter of the fourth brother and the fifth sister is serious.

This was the first time I had met someone from the palace who came to give a reward, and after Chen politely sent the people in the palace away, large and small gifts were placed in her room. Pei'er, who was on the side, was a little angry, and said: "These were originally rewarded by the palace to the young lady, and the Chen family is so swaggering, I don't know how much I have been greedy over the years, I'm afraid the master doesn't know it!" ”

A reward from the palace? Oh, I almost forgot, I'm still the lord of Changle who is the emperor himself, if so, for the time being, regardless of the rewards in the palace, my fief alone pays a lot of tribute every year.

It seems that in Chen's eyes, I am still a little useful, although my brain is not very good, and it affects her mood a little, but it is better to fool her if my brain is not clear, and I can bring her a lot of extra income without bothering to take care of it.

My food and clothing in the house have not been deducted because of Chen's attitude towards me, and this is enough, I don't need those things, and it is ashes to keep them.
