Chapter 1: The Fire

Next Chapter

The fire rushed to the sky, crackling and reflecting half of the sky, and the heat wave was higher than a group of people rushing to rush to each other: "Walking in the water!" Walk the water! ”

Yu Tang's legs were weak, if it weren't for the maid Shuangtao supporting her, she would probably have fallen to the ground.

"Miss, Miss!" Shuangtao was so frightened by the scene in front of him that she couldn't speak, "How can this be?" It's not that the Pei family's nursing home will get up in the middle of the night to inspect their shops with the people of the yamen, the third master of the Pei family said that this year's summer is particularly enthusiastic, the weather is dry and dry, and he is afraid of going fire, and a few days ago, he specially let people set up thirty-eight large water tanks on both sides of Changxing Street, and let the shopkeepers of each shop fill the tanks with water every day, how can Changxing Street go on fire? So, what about our shop? ”

Oh, yes!

What about their shop?

Yu Tang's eyes were moist, and the image in front of him was a little blurry.

She's actually reborn!

and was reborn on the evening of the day their shop was burned.

She has a harmonious family, a close brotherhood, and has grown up smoothly. Before that, the most unsatisfactory in life was that her parents didn't let her climb the tree and go down the river, and she was not allowed to go out to study as a female celebrity, so the memory seemed smooth and warm, but it was not impressive. Only this summer, a sudden fire burned down all the shops on Changxing Street. Her family and her uncle's lacquerware shop were not spared. Not only were the materials in the shop burned, but the warehouses and workshops in the backyard of the shop were also burned clean, the goods that were about to be delivered were gone, and the precious templates left by the ancestors were gone.

Not far away, someone was about to rush into the shop to put out the fire, but they were buried in the fire by the suddenly collapsed beam.

"Boss! Boss! "The woman ran over to save someone, but she didn't know what to do and was stopped by someone.

Some men sat on the ground, clapping their legs and crying, "How can we live here?" ”

Yu Tang and Shuangtao were hit on the shoulders by people who rushed over one after another after hearing the news, and Shuangtao came back to his senses.

She hurriedly pulled Yu Tang to the side, and said eagerly: "Miss, my wife is still sick, and my lord is not at home, so you ran out without saying a word......

Yu Tang also came back to his senses.

For Shuangtao at this time, she just didn't stand firm, fell from the sky, and was in a coma for a long time; But for her, she has already experienced the fall of her family, her parents died, her fiancΓ© died early, and her widow was coveted by her uncle and brother, and she finally escaped from her husband's house, but she was killed in the nunnery that sheltered her.

The fire was important, but even more important was her mother's condition.

Her father Yu Wen and her mother Chen's plaice are deeply in love, even if her mother hurt her body and bones when she gave birth to her, his father also loves his mother and her like a treasure, and has never had a gap, but her mother has been sick since she was born, and she has been on medication for seven days out of ten days. A few days ago, his father learned from a friend that the imperial doctor Yang Douxing had returned to his hometown, and he rushed to Suzhou City to seek medical treatment for his mother.

In his previous life, his father returned in vain, and his mother was frightened because she fell off the swing, and her condition worsened, and she was bedridden. My father decided to take my mother to Wang Bai, another imperial physician who lived in seclusion in Putuo Mountain, for treatment, but on the way back, he capsized in a storm and died of a storm.

"Let's go, hurry up and go home!" Yu Tang was suddenly anxious, and ran home with Shuang Tao.

"Wait, wait!" Shuang Tao panted and ran after her, and said, "Where are you going?" Home over there! ”

Yu Tang stopped and was silent for a moment.

She hadn't been back to her home in Qingzhu Lane for ten years, and she couldn't remember that there was such a path from Changxing Street to Qingzhu Lane.

Maybe it's because Changxing Street is flooded, and there are people walking around in this secluded and uninhabited alley on weekdays, but everyone is in a hurry, and when they look up at her, they pass by her with a heavy face.

The courtyard of the back hall of the Yu family is quiet, and a few tall bamboo branches and leaves of Xiangfei stand quietly in the moonlight, and the noise and chaos of Changxing Street seem to be a matter of another world.

The mother's cough was clearly audible, with a faint hissing that cracked her lungs: "How is Ah Tang?" Are you awake? β€œ

The answer to her mother was Mrs. Chen, who served her closely: "I woke up early in the morning, saying that I had to eat fried chestnuts with sugar to be good." You say, at this time, where am I going to find her fried chestnuts with sugar? deceived me into drinking a bowl of osmanthus syrup, and ate three pieces of peach crisp before resting. ”

Yu Tang's tears welled up at once.

In her previous life, she had no heart and lungs, her mother was sick all the year round, and she didn't think it was a thing, but she used her to fall from the swing to cheat and eat and drink, and did all the things that her mother didn't let her do on weekdays. When her father took her mother to ask for medicine, before going out, she clamored for her father to bring her two packets of Poria powder, otherwise she would not endorse it.

"Mommy!" Yu Tang stood in front of his mother's door and couldn't help shouting.

The door creaked open.

Mrs. Chen poked her head out, winced at her, and said, "What is the eldest lady going to eat again?" At this time, the fire in the stove is extinguished, and at most you will make a bowl of fried rice to pad your stomach, and no more, but there is no more. ”

Yu Tang was stunned.

She is no longer the little girl who was held in the palm of her father's hand, carefree and didn't know anything.

Mrs. Chen's expression was different, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

Could it be that at this time in her previous life, her mother's condition was not very good?

Yu Tang's face sank, and she couldn't help but be a little dignified when she looked at Mrs. Chen's gaze, she made a gesture towards Mrs. Chen to follow me, but her voice was a little pampered: "Is my mother's illness better?" I'm not hungry, I'm trying to say a few words to my mom. ”

This kind of Yu Tang made Mrs. Chen very strange and very unexpected. She didn't have time to think about it, she nodded at Yu Tang, but what she said stopped her: "Mrs. has just taken the medicine, she has already washed and rested, what is the matter with the eldest lady, come over tomorrow!" ”

Yu Tang stretched his neck and looked at the wing.

The mother, who was still talking to Mrs. Chen just now, didn't say a word.

Apparently didn't want to see her.

Yu Tang's heart was heavy, and she tried her best to imitate the tone of her speech at fifteen o'clock: "That's good! I went back to sleep first. Do you remember telling my mom that I've been here. ”

"Remember! Remember! Mrs. Chen smiled and said pointedly, "This is cold and dewy, I'll send the eldest lady back to the house!" ”

This season, where is there any wind and dew? It's just an opportunity to talk to her in private.

Yu Tang responded, and went to his own wing next to him with Mrs. Chen.

Because of the hurry, the quilt was still messily thrown on the bed, and the soft shoes were all over the place, one in front of the bed and one in the middle of the room. Mrs. Chen scolded Shuangtao in a low voice: "How did you serve the eldest lady?" It's a mess in the house, and if your wife sees it, she'll teach you a lesson. ”

Double Peach blushed and turned to clean up the room.

Yu Tang pulled Mrs. Chen to speak: "What happened to Mommy?" Don't fool me. I knew that it was Liu Santi from Jimin Tang who often came to our house to see my mother, and I went to Jimin Tang to find him when I arrived. ”

Mrs. Chen glanced at Yu Tang in surprise.

Yu Tang was spoiled by his family and grew up, although he didn't raise crooked, but he was not a strong girl, and it was the first time he was so aggressive.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but hesitate.

Yu Tang knows his own business, and if he says it is good, he has no scheming, and if he says it is not good, he has no brains. If something happens at home, she naturally doesn't rely on it, and everyone won't tell her.

She simply said to Mrs. Chen: "Look at my appearance, unkempt, I ran out just now, Changxing Street was drained, and our shop was also burned." ”

With the light like a bean, Mrs. Chen found that Yu Tang's clothes were not neat, and she was shocked: "What did you say? Changxing Street is watery? ”

Yu Tang nodded: "The goods in the shop are gone, and the fields will not have income until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have to treat their mothers, and there is no money at home." ”

It's not that she is bluffing Mrs. Chen.

It was like that in a previous life.

The Yu family has a small amount of money, but it will not be that the two shops will be burned down and destroyed. But this time, a batch of goods ordered by others in the warehouse was also burned, and the Yu family lost a lot of silver, and his father bought a "Songhu Fishing Hidden Map" from a friend before Li Tang's "Songhu Fishing Hidden Map" was also about to give silver, and his mother did not want his father to be disappointed, so he took the initiative to sell the family's thirty acres of high-quality fertile land, and when his father took his mother to Putuo Mountain, he sold the family's twenty acres of fertile land behind his mother's back...... After her parents died, she sold the remaining fifty acres of fertile land for a decent funeral.

The property that her grandfather gave to her father was gone, and her uncle was in trouble, so he couldn't help her.

Only then will she agree to the marriage of the Li family.

The thought flashed, and Yu Tang's expression became a little heavier.

She said with a cold face: "If something happens to Mom, Daddy will not spare you when he comes back!" ”

Mrs. Chen couldn't cry or laugh.

She is Chen's companion and Chen's nurse, Chen's is not good, she is more anxious than anyone else, more distressed than anyone else, the eldest lady actually threatened her.

But seeing such a young lady, she felt inexplicably relieved.

She thought for a while and told Yu Tang: "The weather is too hot, my wife is bitter in summer, and I can't eat anything, I am worried about your injury, and I am worried that my lord is running around outside, and I can't eat well and sleep. ”

Yu Tang felt guilty and blamed himself.

In her previous life, she always worried her parents, and she never became her parents' intimate little padded jacket, let alone rely on it.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn't help but fold his hands and chanted "Amitabha" towards the west.

In her previous life, she was not a devout believer, but the Bodhisattva took pity on her and let her return to the present, back to the time when her parents were still there, she will definitely cherish the present time, not let the hatred of the previous life repeat itself, and not let this family be broken up and relatives separated.

Yu Tang's tears fell like rain.
