The fire burned inexplicably, looking at the color of its flames rising into the sky, the place where it burned was probably not small, but after more than an hour, the fire was extinguished.

Not long after, Yan Xiuyu also returned, and his body was full of the unique cold smell of the cold winter night.

After entering the door, he said to Yan Qingge: "I asked my brother, there is nothing wrong with the Hanlin Academy, but it has been affected by the road closure, and he will release him back when the matter is settled." ”

Yan Qingge breathed a sigh of relief, didn't ask what was going on, and immediately went to relay the words to the Gu family.

When Gu Shi heard this, his tears slowly stopped after nearly two hours, and his eyes were swollen like peaches.

Yan Qingge hurriedly said to the maids: "Why don't you go to the hot water for your aunt, and the towels are also boiled two piping hot." ”

Gu knew that Yan Qingge was asking someone to put her eyes on her, so she asked the maid to take a look at the mirror, and when she saw the shape of her eyes, she smiled embarrassedly: "It's true...... I was really panicked. ”

Here, Yan Qingge gave the order to go down, and saw Caizhu coming up with a basin of water and a hot towel, and at the same time carrying a small bowl with freshly fished out boiled eggs in it, which can better help reduce the swelling of her eyes—it turned out that she had already prepared these things.

Seeing that she was so clever, Yan Qingge couldn't help but glance at her and said, "You have a mind." ”

Caizhu replied softly: "The master is the champion, he is a blessed person, and the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and there will definitely be no accidents." That's why slaves and maids dare to prepare these things without permission. ”

She didn't dare to tell Yan Qingge that when she followed Aunt Hai and Yan Shuyu in the past, these two would cry in the house when something unpleasant happened, and once they cried here, they had to immediately prepare something to help reduce the swelling of their eyes, so that they could finish crying, because Aunt Hai's mother and daughter would never let outsiders see their swollen eyes.

Gu Shi was skillfully served by Caizhu, but after a while, the swelling on his eyes disappeared by half.

She heard that Yan Xiuyu had come back to report the news, and she insisted on getting out of bed to meet Yan Xiuyu. Yan Qingge pressed her down and said, "Auntie, don't run away, I'll send him to the study, Brother Xuan is there to accompany him." ”

Hearing that Le Xuan was in the study again, Gu Shi was angry and funny, shook his head and said, "This kid, his father has such a big incident, he still has the heart to study." ”

Looking at Gu's crying and laughing look, Yan Qingge laughed slightly in his heart, Le Yi and Gu both looked down on this cousin, when he was really a nerd.

She didn't tell the Gu family, when the Gu family was crying in a mess, Le Xuan was outside directing the whole family to be busy, except for the Gu family's room, the valuables and softness elsewhere in the house had been packed up and loaded, and she was thinking about everything, and even explained to the servants where to stay on the road and where to receive water. Once the bad news of Le Yi came out, he would immediately ask someone to carry Gu Shi and Xi Ruan back to Heshan, and he would stay in the capital alone to support him.

After everything was arranged, Le Xuan went back to the study, lit the lamp and read, as if he was not the one who did those things just now.

This kind of heart and forbearance made Yan Qingge have to obey. It's just that now that Le Yi is fine, there is no need to say what Le Xuan has done.

After taking care of the Gu family, Yan Qingge gradually stabilized his mind and went to the study to see Yan Xiuyu.

Because the fire in Beijing and the closure of the street are implicated, it is a secret, and I am afraid that she will not know.

Yan Qingge didn't ask Yan Xiuyu about this, but arranged for Yan Xiuyu to rest at Lejia like a hostess. The night was dark, he was running back and forth, and it was not like a word to ask him to go back to the Yanwang Mansion at this time.

Yan Qingge didn't sleep well this night, and the next morning she was also in good spirits, although Yan Xiuyu said that the Hanlin Academy was fine, but she really couldn't feel at ease if she didn't see Le Yiren.

She was locked up in Yanfu at this time before she was reborn, and she didn't know if there was any closure of the street, but in her impression, there was absolutely no fire last night, after all, the fire was shining in the sky last night, and the whole capital saw it, even if she lived in the boudoir, it was impossible to turn a blind eye.

After being reborn, too many things have changed.

Yan Qingge's heart was unstable, because the scientific examination that her uncle participated in in the previous life was not held until nearly two years later, and he did not get the top prize.

When one place changes, the other will change with it. Yan Qingge didn't dare to guarantee that Le Yi would come to the capital as an official early in his life, and it would become a disaster in his life.

And if Le Yi really encountered something bad, then she, who caused the source of all this, would naturally be to blame - although others didn't know, Yan Qingge couldn't get over his own hurdle.

She was so worried that she often sat in a daze.

Yan Xiuyu saw her stunned appearance, so he sat next to her and accompanied her. Although in terms of the information he received, Le Yi would not be in any danger, but on the sealed street, there was no more good news coming back.

Caizhu entered the house and winked at Ruyi. Ruyi quietly took the hot water sent by Caizhu, and after a while, he also went out.

Waiting for Ruyi to come back, Yan Qingge looked at her, and suddenly said, "What did Caizhu say to you?" ”

Ruyi didn't expect Yan Qingge to even see that Caizhu was talking to her, her face turned red, and she said cowardly: "Miss, it's nothing." ”

"Say it, I don't blame you." Yan Qingge said tiredly.

"This news is not very good, but it has nothing to do with my uncle, in fact, you don't need to know, eldest lady." Ruyi struggled to persuade.

"What's the news? Let's talk about it. Yan Qingge said calmly.

Ruyi knelt on the ground with a puff, lowered his head and said, "Miss, it's really not the slaves who deliberately hide it. This time the place where the fire broke out was the Wei family, and listening to the rumors outside, the Wei family had burned out, and none of the people inside escaped. ”

"What?" Yan Qingge stood up in surprise.

No wonder Ruyi and Caizhu wanted to hide it from her, it turned out that it was the Wei family who caught fire. The Wei family is nothing, but Ning Minzhi, the second young grandmother of the Wei family, is her friend, and she had a new child last year, so she hasn't had a chance to take a look. If it is really like the rumors, if no one escapes, Ning Minzhi will definitely not end well.

This is the first time in this life that Yan Qingge heard that her familiar friend had suffered misfortune, and a sadness rose in her heart. The last time she saw Ning Minzhi, she was still a pregnant woman, her face was full of longing for the future and the brilliance of being a mother, but now she is separated by heaven and man, and she will never see each other?

She was in a trance, and sat down in her chair, her mind so confused that she couldn't believe it was true.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yan Xiuyu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yan Qingge, who was leaning softly on the back of the chair. He glanced at Ruyi sharply, so frightened that Ruyi didn't dare to say anything.

Yan Qingge smiled bitterly, brushed Yan Xiuyu's hand away, and said, "I'm fine, don't blame Ruyi." She beat her spirit and said to Yan Xiuyu: "Ruyi also said it, it's all rumors outside, not necessarily true." ”

Yan Xiuyu listened to her answer, and his heart was empty.

In fact, on the night of the accident, he knew that the fire was caused by the Wei family, and it burned very badly. It is said that the wall of the courtyard of the Wei family was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one was allowed to go out, and some people who were covered in fire climbed over the wall and were burned to death on the street outside the door.

He didn't dare to tell Yan Qingge these things, who knew that Ruyi still said it.

With this, Yan Qingge slept more unsteadily, and dreamed in the middle of the night that Ning Minzhi hugged a child in the sea of fire and asked her for help, and the child's face later turned into the face of poor Ming'er before she was reborn. But no matter how she tried to save them, she couldn't succeed, and finally cried and was pushed awake by Ruyi.

Yan Qingge was stunned and startled. Yan Qingge grabbed her and said, "Don't get in the way, move the charcoal basin out, I'm very hot, pour some water to drink." ”

When the charcoal basin was removed, it didn't take long for the room to become cold, Yan Qingge felt better, but he couldn't sleep.

She got up in the morning, sat in front of the dresser, and was full of wandering thoughts, instructing Ruyi to dress herself, and when she reacted, the clothes and jewelry on her body had become a dress for going out according to her request.

Yan Qingge smiled bitterly and pulled off the hairpin ring on his head and said, "Change to a light one." She shook her head and sighed, "What's the use of me going out." ”

Yan Xiuyu could see that Yan Qingge's mind did not belong, but this time the situation was grim, unlike before when she could amuse her by buying a few things. And Yan Xiuyu was also worried about Le Yi, so he went out to inquire about the news, and always returned the latest information to the Le family. In a few days, he was busy in and out of Lejia, and he lost a lot of weight.

It wasn't until the evening three days later that Le Yi came back, and at this time Yan Xiuyu had not returned when he went out.

He had a scruffy beard, his clothes smelled sour, and his eyes were bloodshot, but he looked good.

As soon as he saw him, Gu began to shed tears again, and the calm on Yan Qingge's face couldn't hold back, and he couldn't help crying.

The family met and sat together to talk, and Le Yi talked about the experience of the previous few days.

There was nothing wrong with their Hanlin Courtyard, the courtyard was fenced off, and officers and soldiers came every day to deliver some water and food. But in the end, everyone didn't know what was going on, and they were very worried, and there were no bedding such as quilts and pillows, so everyone could only sit in the office hall and boil.

During this period, the people of the Hanlin Academy were panicked, everyone didn't know what was going on, they had everything to say, and even two timid ones were so frightened that they took off their belts and wanted to hang themselves in the courtyard, and they were finally stopped by their colleagues. However, most of my colleagues are like Le Yi, continue to work, and have completed the backlog of things for many days, so they can take a big vacation.

Listening to Le Yi talking about the "interesting things" in the Hanlin Courtyard in high spirits, Gu finally stopped crying. She wiped her tears and said, "I think you two are a virtuous person, you are not at home, and Brother Xuan still sits in the study every day to read." But Brother Yu helped a lot, I think your own son is not as good as the apprentice you accepted. ”

Le Xuan looked calm beside him, as if it was not him who the Gu family disliked at all, and he did not show what he had done before.

As he was talking, Yan Xiuyu ran in and shouted in surprise: "Good news! I heard that the street ban has been lifted, and I have already called someone to pick up Master and come back. Then, his voice of the annunciation stopped abruptly, because he saw Le Yi sitting in the hall.

"Master, you're back?" He laughed happily.
