In the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven, on the third day of the fifth month, the good sky suddenly became gloomy, dark clouds were surging all over, and there was a faint thunder flashing in the black clouds. For a time, the wind was blowing. Several of the braided bamboo baskets were scraped away, and the vendors hurriedly caught up, tied up the rest by the way, and hurriedly closed the stalls. The trots on foot and the horses in the cars rushed to their homes. The shopkeeper of the restaurant on the street stood at the door with his hands in his hands, watching the pedestrians hurry, looking up at the sky, and muttering, "What the hell is the weather, it's really weird." Yay! Light an oil lamp! ”

"Hey, it's the third time, isn't it? Every time it is like a tengu swallowing the sun, but there is no half raindrop, and half an hour is fine. The guest officer who was eating wine by the bedside was no longer surprised, took a sip of wine, and waited for the dark clouds to disperse.

In less than a cup of tea, the sky was already extremely dark, and the sky was suddenly split one by one, and the sky was suddenly split, and the rumbling thunder was deafening.

There was a faint flash of fire in the distance, especially conspicuous in this dark sight.

"Whose house was struck then?" Someone jumped to look into the distance.

"Look at the direction like the Su family."

The wind swept the tongue of fire into the sky, and the Su house was already in chaos, and the corridor was full of people in a hurry, including masters and slaves carrying water, and buckets of water were splashed on the fire, and the fire did not turn smaller.

Fortunately, it did not take long for the wind to pour rain and extinguish the fire, which still engulfed a dozen or so houses, and was charred and black. The rain did not stop, and the little man in the coat began to liquidate the burned materials in the rain.

The small side room that was temporarily moved out was full of people, and the old lady of the Su family sat on the edge of the bed, and pressed the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Sister Qiao? Look at me, what's burning on my body? Are you uncomfortable? ”

Bai Qiao lay on the bed, looking at the roof with his eyes open, and did not blink an eye or say a word for a long time.

"Sister Qiao was originally timid, but this day when the thunder fell, she must have been frightened! Have you boiled the soothing soup? This cook is getting less and less useful! Doctor! Why hasn't it come yet! Don't hurry up and rush it! Old Madam Su slapped her leg suddenly, swept the crowd below with cold eyes, and cried even more. Mrs. Su cried, and the next room of people also cried.

The eldest lady of the Su family glanced at Cui'er beside her, and Cui'er immediately nodded and hurriedly went out.

"Mother, don't worry, it's hard to walk in the heavy rain, it's late. The cook really doesn't work, and another day it happens. The soup has already been served by Cui'er, and it will be coming soon. ”

"And you, how did you protect Sister Qiao!" Old Lady Su looked at Bai Qiao's maid Bi Tao again.

Bi Tao was so frightened that she knelt down, her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say a word.

"If Sister Qiao has a good one, I will sell you all! What is the use of letting you idle all day long! Mrs. Su snorted angrily.

There was a sudden silence in the side room.

Cui'er trotted in with the soup, Mrs. Su took a breath, stepped forward and took it to the bedside: "Let Sister Qiao drink the soothing soup first." ”

It was fed by Mrs. Su herself, and everyone was relieved. This chaos is so far, before he even deals with the chaos in his house, he was called here and given a lecture!

The doctor also went to the door in his cloak and carried the medical box into the house. Everyone immediately made a way, and the eldest lady hurriedly greeted her: "The road is slippery on a rainy day, I shouldn't have looked for Dr. Liu, but the matter was too urgent, and I bothered Dr. Liu to take a good look at our sister, this day the thunder happened to hit my sister's house, and my sister was timid, and she still refused to say a word." ”

The eldest lady quickly said the reason, Doctor Liu understood in his heart, touched Bai Qiao's pulse, and then nodded: "Today's thunder is really scary, Miss Bai was scared, I prescribed a few pills to suppress the shock and tonify the body, Miss Bai drank it on time, and she will take care of it in the past few days." ”

"That's the doctor." Someone followed the doctor to prescribe medicine, and the people in the side room walked a few and became more spacious. Mrs. Su also breathed a sigh of relief, and when she went to see the person on the bed, she wiped her tears with distress again, and said for a long time before leaving with someone.

A crowd of people rushed in and out. It wasn't until everyone had left that Bai Qiao moved. It's not that she doesn't want to speak, it's just that she just opened her eyes. Moreover, she didn't know any of the people in the room just now. Including this maid beside him.

She seemed to have lost her memory.

Or because the thunder struck the house, scared of amnesia.

Looking at the small side room, except for the bed where she was lying, there was only a small cabinet next to the bed, a square table and a wooden shelf for the washbasin at the entrance. It's pitiful that there are so few things. This room was probably for low-class maids and servants, for even second-class maids and servants lived in a room with more furnishings than this.

"Peach." Bai Qiao spoke.

Bi Tao had just sent everyone away, and was stunned by this cool voice, and subconsciously 'belched', and walked quickly to the bed.

"Pour a glass of water, thirsty."

"Yes, miss."

With a glass of water, Bai Qiao only felt much more comfortable, as if he had slept for a long time, and his whole body was sour and tired. She raised her arms and sat up.

She didn't speak, and Bi Tao didn't speak, with a white face and a rag in her hand, she kept wiping the tables and stools, and the wooden shelves where the copper basins were placed.

The wind and rain outside were fierce, drowning out the sound of Bi Tao wiping things. Bai Qiao got out of bed and walked to the door, and gently opened the door. The old wooden door creaked, and the wind and rain immediately hit the face. In the lanterns under the porch outside, the candles were lit out, and many candles were extinguished by the heavy rain, and they kept swaying in the wind.

"Miss, it's raining heavily outside, beware of catching a cold!" Bi Tao put down the rag and walked over with a washed white cyan coat.

Bai Qiao glanced at Bi Tao, nodded, and put on his coat.

"Miss, the fire is too big, and we haven't taken out any of the things in the house." As soon as Bi Tao spoke, she couldn't hold back what she was thinking.

"If you don't take it out, you don't take it out." She couldn't remember what's in it anyway.

Bi Tao was stunned when she heard this: "But Miss, there is also a piece of jade that Mrs. gave you before her death!" ”

"Jade?" Bai Qiao was stunned. But the first reaction in her mind had nothing to do with jade. Just now, the people in the room were talking about the Su family, but they called her Miss Bai.

This Su family is not her home.

And since her mother has died, she must have another stepmother, so why is she in the Su family? Could it be that the Su family is her grandfather's family? Is it temporary or permanent? Looking at where he lives now, Bai Qiao already has the answer.

This is not her grandfather's house, and her grandfather's family will never let her live in such a room. And she is in the Su family, and she still lives permanently.

"Yes, Miss! Why don't you go and find it? ”

Bai Qiao shook his head, and the thunder outside roared, and the rain was pouring down. Even if you want to find it, you have to wait until the rain stops. Besides, everything that should have burned is burned, and looking for it now is no different from waiting and looking for it again.

Bi Tao felt that there seemed to be something different about the young lady when she woke up! Shouldn't what Madame left behind be retrieved immediately?

"When the rain stops, let's find a few little guys to look through it." Bai Qiao closed the door, and was cut off from the wind and rain outside.

Bi Tao watched Bai Qiao lie on the bed and close her eyes, pursed her lips, stepped forward to tuck the corner, and then exited the small side room. When you go out, tighten the door by the way to avoid being swept in by the wind and rain.

The wind under the porch was very strong, and Bi Tao put on a coat and went into the rain.

Bai Qiao in the side room fell asleep, but no one in the Su family slept. In the huge ancestral house of the Su family, Mrs. Su was crooked on the couch, and kneeling down were Master Su, Second Master Su, Third Master Su and their wives.

The second lady of the Su family couldn't hold back her words the most, knelt on the ground and took two steps forward, and took the lead in speaking: "Mother, this day the thunder struck the house and ignited a fire, but it is a big event that can't be hidden!" People outside will definitely say that Sister Qiao's life is ominous, and she will attract thunder! This kind of thing will not be heard by anyone in Qianjiang tonight. In a few days, it will be transmitted to Gangneung Mansion, and I still have to write a letter to that side. Sister Qiao is also older, so she can't stay until she looks at each other. ”

"Poor Sister Qiao, what kind of fate is this ominous, this is a natural disaster, what is the matter with Sister Qiao?" As soon as Mrs. Su said this, the tears came down again, and she hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it, "Sister Qiao has lived in the Su family for seven years, and she is obedient, I treat her as our family's own granddaughter!" ”

"Natural disasters are naturally not about Sister Qiao'er's business, but they can't stop the mouths of Youyou. This matter really has to be sent to the Jiangling Mansion, not only to the Zhao family, but also to the Bai family. We are figuring out the meaning of the Bai family, but we have always treated people and things according to the meaning of the Zhao family. Since the matter of sending Sister Qiao back is on the agenda, the Bai family always has to come up with a word to send people away seriously. Mrs. Su pondered for a moment and said.

"Isn't this a good reason to use at this juncture? Isn't it enough to cause thunder to split the house, and it means that there is an ominous fate? "The second lady is used to saying those hypocrisy! Seeing Mrs. Su's posture, Mrs. Su pursed her lips without a trace. How can you stay with Sister Qiao in the past seven years, don't you have any points in your heart?

"The more you should use it, the more you can't use it." The eldest lady looked at the second lady and looked at it fixedly.

"Well, let's go to a letter first and see what it says." Old Madam Su waved her hand, and this matter was finalized.
