In the middle of winter, the clouds on the feather mountain are pressed by the clouds, and there is a small courtyard with three entrances under the mountain, which is delicate and deserted.

At night, a slender figure came to the firewood room in the backyard with a cat. He hurriedly threw down a fire fold, and then the figure quickly disappeared into the night.

The wind rose in the mountain, and the fire was blazing, and the tongue of fire was about to swallow up the whole courtyard.

"Ahh Walk the water! Walk the water! Mother Li, who got up at night, was frightened by the crackling and burning flames in front of her, and ran out of the door and shouted.

Then he ran to knock on Yu's door desperately, and when he saw that Yu was not there, he thought about it and ran to the second lady's Liluo courtyard.

Yes! On the half-old carved bed in the small courtyard of Liluo, Gui Mingyue sat up with a scream, sweating profusely.

"Yue'er, but you're having a nightmare again?" A soft voice full of tiredness came, and a woman with a beautiful face in a half-worn wide-sleeved embroidered purple and gray skirt stood up from the end of the bed, only to see that her eyebrows were as picturesque as timeless, green silk as ink, and curled into a ruyi bun, without any jewelry.

Gui Mingyue immediately hugged the visitor and shouted "mother".

Just as they were about to say something, the mother and daughter smelled the smoke in the air at the same time, and heard Li's mother shouting outside the door.

Gui Mingyue hurriedly put on a middle coat, thought about it and touched a box at the head of the bed, and rushed out of the house with Yu.

At the same time, standing in the yard in horror, not knowing what was wrong, there was also her twin sister Gui Jingxue, her father Gui Hongyuan and eldest brother Gui Chengzhi were hurriedly pouring water to put out the fire.

It's just that the fire has shown the momentum of burning the prairies, coupled with the night wind howling, the villagers in the nearby villages saw the fire and hurried to come, but the small courtyard of the return house was too late to save and turned into ruins.

Everyone was panicked, the eldest son Gui Chengzhi settled down, and quickly counted the number of people, his father Gui Hongyuan, his mother Yu, the two sisters-in-law Jingxue and Mingyue, the younger brother Gui Chengqi, and his mother's dowry Li's mother......

The only thing missing is Gui Caiwei, this Gui Caiwei and Gui Chengqi are both born to the concubine Liu.

Half a month ago, for some reason, Gui Mingyue and Liu fell into the water at the same time, and when they were rescued, they were both dying. But in the end, only Gui Mingyue was rescued.

Gui Caiwei believed that it was the Yu family who asked the doctor to treat Gui Mingyue first, delaying Liu's life, and hated Yu and Gui Mingyue's mother and daughter in her heart, and she had been closed door for half a month and refused to see anyone.

When the fire weakened, a charred body was found in Gui Caiwei's room, and the body was about the same age as Gui Caiwei.

Gui Chengqi is only five years old, although Su Rili was raised by Yu's side, and he is the best friend of Gui Mingyue, and he is not close to his sister Gui Caiwei, but when he heard the bad news, he couldn't help crying.

The fire burned all night, leaving no choice but to return to the family and the people of the village.

Until midnight, the sky was not yet bright, and the dark clouds in the sky were low, and snowflakes were falling.

At present, the only shelter was burned to powder, and Gui Hongyuan, who lived the rest of his life, was full of gloom.

Gui Hongyuan is a small master of the county, since Emperor Wen ordered the power of the minister Cao Xiang to be beheaded eight years ago, after the rectification of the bureaucracy, reduce the officials and power. And the county master's book is only five quintals a month, although it is a clan relative to the general's mansion in the middle and upper households of the county, but it is only the most neglected side branch, and his wife is a merchant.

It can be described as a small person, a light word, and a thin fortune.

Although the days in Su Ri are not easy, there is still a house that was divided when the family was separated, and now even this shelter is gone.

"Return...... My lord, there are a few vacant rooms in my house, and I wanted to give my eldest son a wife, but who knew that the woman thought that our Yu Village was poor, so she regretted the marriage...... If you don't dislike it, why don't you go to my house and live first? ”

It was Zhuang Daqiang, a tenant in the village, who spoke, and the villagers next to him also spoke out kindly when they heard it.

Gui Mingyue's family moved to the poor but simple Yu Village on this snowy winter day.
