Chapter 120: Fire (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The ninth lady of the Yan family is not yet in time, but she is very tall and tall, and her appearance is not stunning, but her facial features are soft and charming, and she has a unique charm.
There was only one personal maid by her side, and the rest of the servants were also waiting outside. This is done out of pure respect, after all, the Buddha Hall is different from other places.
Wei Yimi and the others came in, but she didn't look up to see who it was because she was concentrating on chanting the scriptures.
She is restrained by nature, does not like to socialize, and is most afraid that someone will be inexplicably close to her, which often overwhelms her.
But because of her noble birth and her brother Yan Kentang, many officials in the capital took the initiative to show her goodwill.
This made Miss Yan Jiu quite distressed, but the Yan family was extremely strict, and even though Yan Tingzhen was displeased, she had to reluctantly deal with it.
So she didn't go out of the house as much as possible.
But today's events are very different, my grandmother is sick, and praying for blessings and worshipping the Buddha is the business of the female dependents.
Her mother has to take care of her mother-in-law, and several sisters have already left the cabinet, leaving Miss Nine alone.
Yan Tingzhen is a filial child, so she asked her brother Yan Kentang to accompany her to Daxiangguo Temple.
The Maitreya Hall is specially built for the female dependents of the rich and noble, and the incense is expensive, and the poor family cannot enter here.
Wei Yimi knelt down not far from Yan Tingzhen, and the twin daughters knelt behind her.
There were only two eight or nine-year-old novices in this hall, and they all withdrew after filling the sea lantern in front of the Buddha with lamp oil.
Wei Yimi peeked at Yan Tingzhen, but the other party didn't notice it.
This Miss Yan Jiu is a rat, and her guts are really as small as a mouse.
Wei Yimi knew that she was particularly afraid of snakes, and heard that once Miss Yan Jiu saw a grass snake in her garden, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, and then fell ill for more than a month.
Today, Wei Yimi saw Yan Kentang, and her heart was both sweet and bitter.
But when her eyes unintentionally swept over Wei Yining, she suddenly had an idea.
She remembered that Wei Yining, who was not amazing in appearance and speech, was regarded as a great benefactor by the Qingxi Royal Mansion because she saved the little prince of the Wei family, and was even recognized as a righteous daughter by the old princess.
Because of this relationship, Wei Yining often goes in and out of the Qingxi Palace, and he is even more familiar with it than in the Zhiyong Mansion.
Wei Yimi has always been distressed that she has no chance to have a deep friendship with the Yan family, because the other daughters of the Yan family are several years older than her, and Yan Tingzhen is too introverted, like a closed door.
But what if she was her savior?
Not only will Yan Tingzhen open her heart to herself, but even the Yan family will be grateful to her.
Wouldn't it be possible to get close to Yan Ken Hall in this way?
As for the future, as long as you plan carefully, are you afraid that there will be no chance?
Wei Yimi is confident that as long as she gets off to a good start, her resourceful mother will definitely let her get what she wants.
Miss Yan Jiu easily did not go out, today can be said to be a godsend, Wei Yimi is already sixteen years old, and she understands the importance of seizing the opportunity.
Seeing that half a bowl of Buddha beans was already in the bowl, Wei Yimi glanced at Wei Yijia.
Wei Yijia didn't dare to disobey, and immediately started acting.
With a bang, the bowl in Wei Yi's hand fell to the ground tilted, and the beans in it spilled out.
"Snake!" Wei Yijia screamed at the top of his voice, as if it were real: "There are snakes!" ”
Yan Tingzhen immediately screamed in fright and hugged her head tightly, completely frightened.
Her personal maid hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and coaxed her in every possible way: "Miss, don't be afraid! There are no snakes. ”
Wei Yijia deliberately pretended to be flustered and got up, and kept shouting: "There is really a snake, I saw it, and it went under the offering table!" ”
Yan Tingzhen was kneeling in front of the offering table, and when she heard her words, she was so frightened that she cried, but her whole body was paralyzed and she couldn't stand up at all.
Wei Yimi also hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, while giving Wei Yi's room a look.
Wei Yifang had no other way but to grit his teeth, pretending to miss and knock down the sea lantern in front of the Buddha, the flames were lit, and the hall was full of curtains and prayer flags, which soon burned, and even the skirt of the Yan family maid was also burned.
The twin girls had already been instructed by Wei Yimi, and ran out pretending to be panicked.
And Wei Yimi wants to play a good person and wants to take Yan Tingzhen out.
The maid of the Yan family extinguished the fire on her body while supporting her own young lady, but Miss Yan Jiu was already overfrightened and fainted at this time.
The body of the fainted person was extremely heavy, and Wei Yimi and the maid worked hard to barely stand her up.
But as soon as I took a step, I found that it was only a short period of time, and the room was already full of smoke, and I couldn't see the road clearly.
Wei Yimi's heart was anxious, she stepped on the beans that had just been sprinkled on the ground, and her ankle hurt sharply, and she actually twisted her foot at this juncture.
The fire and smoke turned the Buddhist hall into a purgatory on earth, where did Wei Yimi see this formation?
She originally planned very well, thinking that it was just to design a fire and be a lifesaver herself.
But she lacks common sense and doesn't know that water and fire are ruthless.
She is a rich daughter, how much strength can she have? I don't know how to lower my body as much as possible when there is a fire. In addition, her foot was twisted and she was unable to move, and she didn't take a few breaths, she was choked with tears and dizzy, not to mention that she couldn't help Miss Yan Jiu, and even she herself became a mud bodhisattva to cross the river.
Life and death were at stake, Wei Yimi couldn't care about anything else, only the instinct to survive was left, she lay on the ground and crawled out with all her might.
The maid waiting outside saw that there was a fire, and at first she thought about coming in to save people, but the fire was too big, and the lamp oil and cloth curtains were extremely flammable, and the doors and windows were also ignited.
This Buddha hall has a history of hundreds of years, and the wood is unusually dry, burning and crackling, and it really has the potential to destroy and decay.
The Maitreya Hall is remote, and it is blocked very tightly by the main hall in front, and the maids and women hurriedly went to call people, but all their legs were weak, and they couldn't run fast at all.
Wei Yining found that there was a fire here, and hurriedly ran this way, and at this time, many monks and pilgrims from the temple also rushed over.
I heard that the ninth lady of the Yan family was trapped inside, and they were all busy fighting the fire.
Wei Yining tore off a collar robe from a monk beside him, and there was a large water tank in the courtyard, and there was half a tank of rainwater in it.
Wei Yining put the robe inside and soaked it, then put his head on his body, and rushed into the sea of fire with a sigh of relief.
She had tried to keep her body down, but the room was now full of smoke and the air was hot.
Wei Yining could only rely on touching, but fortunately, the Buddha hall was not big, and she finally found the two people trapped here.
She went to pull the man on it first, only to see that her clothes were already burning, and her temples were smashed by falling wood, and she was no longer saved.
Fortunately, the person under her protection was still breathing.
Wei Yining put the robe on this person, then carried her on his back and rushed out as fast as he could.
Compared with ordinary weak women, Wei Yining can really be regarded as a strong man, thanks to her perennial work and hunting, and her waist, legs and arms are strong.
"Look! Rescue one! The descendants of the Yan family rushed up, and after seeing that it was her family's ninth miss who was rescued, everyone chanted the Buddha in unison.
If Miss Nine has three longs and two shorts, they will really die dead.
