Chapter 4 The mourning hall caught fire
Sheng Yanming died on the wedding night, and asked Shen Yu to say, this is too coincidental.
One day earlier, the marriage between the Sheng and Shen families would not have come to fruition; One day later, Shen Yu had a room with him, and he could no longer mention the words of the Shen family.
Only that day, neither sooner nor later, can the Sheng Shen family have the reality of in-laws, and will not let her be trapped in the Sheng family for a lifetime.
This uncle of the Sheng family doesn't seem to be simple.
Xie Changli stood speechless for a moment, and replied, "Uncle is a good person." ”
With that, he saluted her and withdrew.
Neither of them saw the figure that flashed behind the heavy curtains.
Shen Yu opened the box and flipped through it, and saw that there was a pile of thick silver tickets inside, as well as some house deeds and title deeds, although they were valuable, they were not coveted.
Uncle Sheng, he was really thoughtful.
Shen Yu admitted his affection, and kneeling was a little more sincere.
The mourning hall was quiet all around, and Shen Yu leaned on the coffin when she was tired of kneeling, looking at the spirit card high above.
"I don't know where people will go when they die, and can they see these three thousand worlds in the sky?"
"If you have a spirit in the sky and can see the old man...... Excuse me, take care of him a little more. ”
Shen Yu closed his eyes, recalling the face that had always been as cold as a reef in the wind, and he taught himself to recognize tea hand in hand, Biluochun, Longjing before the rain, and Lu'an Gua Pian......
A room of tea.
In the second half of the night, Shen Yu was tired of guarding the spirit, and unconsciously squinted.
When I woke up, I only felt the hot wind blowing on my face, which looked particularly strange in this late autumn time.
Shen Yu stood up suddenly, only to find that the curtains around her had been burned. The blazing flames licked the heavy banners, and the fluttering white flags turned to ashes in an instant.
It's on fire!
Shen Yu bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down, walked around the mourning hall a few times, and found that there were some incense, candles, paper, money, white flags and the like placed inside, just give a fire, and the mourning hall can be burned clean.
She alone probably can't save this mourning hall.
The top priority is to save your life!
Shen Yu poured a few pots of cold tea on herself in the mourning hall, tore off a piece of clothing and soaked it with water to cover her mouth and nose, and after clarifying the direction, she gritted her teeth and rushed out.
Bang dang!
The beams of the mourning hall were overwhelmed and staggered down, and Shen Yu narrowly retreated a few steps to escape. No one was hurt, but the road ahead was blocked!
She looked around, and her eyes were full of arrogant flames, and when Shen Yu turned around, she saw Sheng Yanming's tablet looking at her from above.
Tablet ......
Shen Yu's mind changed sharply, in order to be auspicious when the mourning hall was arranged, the two rooms were opened, so that there were more windows out of thin air, I don't know where this window was opened?
"Big lady! Our young lady is still inside, please save her! ”
Outside Jiaxi Courtyard, Hexiang knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the eldest lady, and her forehead was bruised.
The eldest lady Lu Qinfang kicked her aside and scolded: "This Yanming Mourning Hall, which has been affected by the disaster of the Mourning Gate, has been burned, and it can't be buried in the ground, even if it is burned alive, it can't offset her sins!" Besides, now that the fire is like this, wouldn't it hurt others if I sent someone in to save her? ”
A smug flashed on her face, and she said resentfully: "This slut should have died a long time ago, and I have allowed her to live a few more days, and I have already been merciful to accumulate virtue for my son." ”
The lotus fragrance made her body tremble, and she was the first to notice the fire in the mourning hall, but before she could rush over, she was blocked outside the Jiaxi Courtyard by the eldest lady and her party. The eldest lady also stopped no one from calling the fire brigade, and Hexiang watched the fire that could be controlled get out of control and swept through Jiaxi Courtyard.
Miss......
She is the dowry maid given by the Shen family to the young lady, and as early as the Shen family, I heard that this young lady living in the house is a very good person.
Not far away, a group of people hurried over, and it was Sheng Yanqing who took the lead, followed by Xie Changli.
"Changli, hurry up and lead someone to extinguish the fire!"
"Yes, Second Master." After Xie Changli finished speaking, he took a group of people to extinguish the fire.
However, the eldest lady was angry all of a sudden, and said hatefully, "Sheng Yanqing! The Sheng family is not your turn to be the master! I said, don't go to help! ”
Sheng Yanqing's eyebrows did not move, and her eyes looked at the eldest lady with indifference and mockery, "The Sheng family can't let people say a word about human life, the eldest lady wants to have blood on her hands, but I don't want the eldest brother to walk quietly." ”
After saying that, he didn't bother to talk to the eldest lady anymore, turned around and disappeared into the night.
The eldest lady was so angry that her face turned pale, and her eyes were even more poisonous.
At this moment, with a "boom", the beam in the mourning hall fell, blocking the door in and out tightly.
Hexiang finally couldn't help but wail and cried bitterly: "Miss!! ”
"Lotus?"
He Xiang looked at the person standing in front of him in plain clothes, his face was full of disbelief: "Miss you, you're not dead?!" ”
Shen Yu bent down and pulled Hexiang up from the ground, and said softly: "There is a small window behind the mourning hall that is covered, I jumped out of the window." ”
Hexiang looked her up and down, and saw that her clothes were just a little wet, and everything else was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good." ”
The two didn't say a few words, and the eldest lady walked towards her with a fierce attitude, and when she saw Shen Yu, she didn't say a word, and raised her hand to slap her!
"Slut! Why don't you die! ”
Shen Yu couldn't dodge the slap and received it, and her face immediately swollen.
"Ouch, why did my sister-in-law start teaching her new daughter-in-law here?"
Shen Yu followed the sound and saw a group of people walking around a woman in her thirties.
The maids beside the eldest lady saluted one after another: "Second lady." ”
Second lady, Song Baoqin.
Shen Yu lowered her eyes, thinking about the gossip she had heard from Hexiang before.
The second lady was also born in a merchant family, and entered the door more than half a year later than the eldest lady, and the most resentful thing in her life was that the power of the family fell on the eldest lady, and she had to find something to do with the eldest lady from time to time.
Sure enough, Song Baoqin saw Shen Yu being beaten, covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Sister-in-law's slap is too heavy, how can this little face like tender tofu withstand this?" ”
"Tsk, this little appearance is really painful." The second lady's sharp nails cut across her face, "It's just a pity that my eldest nephew is not blessed, and he wasted such a beautiful woman." ”
She poked Lu Qinfang's lung tube with this, and the eldest lady's face turned purple, and she couldn't wait to tear Song Baoqin's mouth apart.
"What do you mean?!"
"Oh, why is my sister-in-law still angry?" The second lady pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just a few jokes." It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law's life is exactly the same as my sister-in-law. ”
Shen Yu knew that she was going to make a fuss about old things.
The eldest lady was widowed for many years when she was young, and then lost her son in middle age.
"Song Baoqin!!"
"I don't understand what the second aunt says." Shen Yu suddenly stood up and said to Song Baoqin, "Just now I saw my second aunt coming, and I thought it was because I saw the mourning hall on fire, and you were worried about your nephew and nephew, so you came here on purpose." But now that I hear you say this, I know that I misunderstood what you mean - as long as there are some elders, they will not force the reputation of 'Kefu' on the juniors. You're here today, I'm afraid it's just to watch the excitement, right? ”
