Chapter 245: Fire
Song Tian fell from the bed in shock, the letter paper in his hand fell, was swept away by the tongue of fire, and disappeared in an instant. She got up from the ground, cried out for help, and picked up the cold tea on the table and poured it into the flames. But the bed is flammable, and the mattress and pillows are made of silk, which is even more flammable. This little bit of tea can't extinguish even half an inch of fire.
Song Tian lost her mind in fright, and only stood in front of the increasingly hot fire in a daze, until Xia Zhi broke into the house and dragged her out of the inner room.
Immediately followed by the chaos, the steward of the outer courtyard came to put out the fire with a group of small servants, and the female dependents naturally wanted to avoid it, Song Tian was carried out of Lexiangzhai by Yingchun and Xia Solstice, and took refuge in Song Ling's courtyard for a while, Lin's sideburns were scattered, and he looked panicked, and the nurse and mother-in-law were holding the crying baby, and they were holding a thin quilt in their hands.
Song Ling just returned to the courtyard, and when he was about to take a bath and rest, he was told by his subordinates that Le Xiangzhai had a fire, and he hurriedly wrapped a robe and came out.
Song Ling's courtyard is still a big girl in cicada clothes, she quickly asked people to prepare tea and supper, and people ate hot tea, which made up her mind.
"Fourth Miss, will you go with the slave maid to wash your face first?" Cicada Yi looked at Song Tianyan's black and gray traces and said.
Song Tian got up like a puppeteer and went with the cicada.
After washing his face, Song Tian's mental head seemed to be weaker, Song Ling just wanted to ask Song Tian to sleep, but he heard Lin say, "Tian'er, what's going on?" Why did you catch fire? ”
Lin learned about the fire point from Aunt Zhou, and couldn't help but ask Song Tian.
Song Tian lowered her head, so that people couldn't see the anger on her face clearly, and only heard her sobbing pitifully like a cat: "I just wanted to drink saliva, and I called Xia Solstice a few times and didn't get a response, so I got up and lit the lamp and drank water, but people were confused, and somehow they overturned the oil lamp and lit the curtain." ”
Xia Zhi was trembling beside her, she really didn't hear Song Tian call herself, didn't she sleep too hard?
Song Ling withdrew her inquiring gaze and didn't say anything. Lin raised his eyebrows, looked at Xia Zhi, and said: "You sleep like this, you have slept enough, it is better to receive the punishment and be a girl who pours night incense!" ”
Song Tian stood up with his forehead in his hand, and said to the Lin family angrily: "Mother, the summer solstice takes good care of me on weekdays, don't punish her for this matter, after all, this fire is caused by me, if you want to punish it, you will punish it......
Song Tian fainted before he finished speaking, and everyone in the house was in a mess, but Song Ling scolded, carried Song Tian to the side room to rest, and asked a doctor to come.
This happened one after another, and after all, everyone kept people awake all night.
When Song Zhi knew about the fire in the Song family, he was playing chess with Jiang Changwan in the lakeside pavilion, and the black chess pieces fell on the wood-colored chessboard mountain, making a crisp sound, and the chess player looked up at Cha Yun and frowned: "How could it be a fire?" It didn't hurt anything, did it? ”
It seems that the fourth lady drank tea in the middle of the night and was careless, and knocked over the oil lamp. Fortunately, no one was injured, but Le Xiangzhai was nearly half ruined. Tea rhyme.
Jiang Changwan poured the chess pieces back into the chess box in her hand and said to Song Zhi: "Sister, is it here today?" Let's go back and have a look. ”
Song Zhi nodded, and smiled at Jiang Changwan: "Okay, ask someone to write down this chess game, I am about to win, but I can't waste this game." ”
Jiang Changwan said angrily: "You girl, you are the mother of two children, and you are still so naughty." ”
Song Zhi smiled, and his appearance was no different from when he was out of the cabinet before. Jiang Changwan returned to Zhou's mansion and saw Zhou Jue turning over at the gate of the mansion. Although the two of them were still awkward, in front of so many people, it didn't seem like a matter if they didn't say hello, Zhou Jue walked over and said to Jiang Changwan: "Where did you go?" ”
"Where else can I go? It's just going to the child. Jiang Changwan said nonchalantly, seeing Zhou Jue stretching out his arm to support, he hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand on it. Ruoquan and Ruomei glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Jue and Jiang Changwan walked into the mansion slowly, and met the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Zhou who was about to go out to buy, and saw that the two of them were intimate, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's all back, the old lady is waiting for you." The mother-in-law said with a smile, but was reprimanded by Zhou Jie, "I come back every day, you all say this sentence, can't you say something fresh?" ”
Jiang Changwan looked at Zhou Du suspiciously, I don't know why he is talking like this today, could it be that he has been cold for a few days, but he has made him have the same heart as himself?
Zhou Jue and Jiang Changwan left directly, and the woman stood in the courtyard for a while, and did not go out, but hurried back to the courtyard to report the news.
Seeing that the relationship between the two of them was relaxed, Ruoquan and Ruomei were overjoyed, and even on the way to the small kitchen to deliver food, Ruomei trotted there.
During the banquet, Mrs. Zhou sent her mother to come again, saying that there was a meal in her courtyard, and the second lady wanted to see Zhou Jie, so she asked Zhou Du to come over to eat.
Zhou never paid attention, only said that he wanted to accompany Ya'er to eat, and he could also bring the second lady over and eat in this courtyard. In fact, how can a baby know what to miss, it's just that Mrs. Zhou herself wants to pull Zhou Du over.
Jiang Changwan glanced at Zhou Du and said, "What's wrong with you today?" ”
Ruoquan was waiting for Ya'er to dine, and when he heard Jiang Changwan ask this sentence, his heart tightened again.
Zhou Jue looked at Jiang Changwan, the two husbands and wives looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while. Zhou Jue sighed and said, "Wan'er, let's not do this, okay?" The mother did do something wrong, but now that Qianqian is gone, the child's health is not very good, and she is worried about it day and night when she is raised under her knees. You don't have to ask your mother for morning and evening, as long as the water from the well doesn't interfere with the river. ”
Jiang Changwan nodded and said lightly: "I only ask for this." ”
When the husband and wife talked, they respected each other as if they were guests, but they lacked the taste of you and me in the past.
That night, Zhou decided to rest in Jiang Changwan's house, when the candle went out, the sound of rain sounded outside, Jiang Changwan closed her eyes, and heard the sound of satisfied breathing from the person next to the pillow, she suddenly felt that there was a rain in her heart, this rain not only washed away the sorrow in her heart, but also washed away the joy.
Since a rain that night, it has rained for dozens of days, Jiang Changwan's courtyard originally had a koi pond, the rain made the pond water rise sharply, the fish jumped out of the pool, and there was a lot of water in the yard, it was able to swim in it.
Ya'er squatted at the door when she had nothing to do these days, watching the fish swim past her, spin around, and swim away again.
"Ma'am. The princess brought you a plate of pastries and a text message. Ruoquan took the letter and pastries written by Song Zhi and handed them to Jiang Changwan.
Jiang Changwan read the letter at a glance and said to Ruomei: "Zhi'er said that she made me a pipa cheese crisp, saying that it was puff pastry and soft-hearted, which was extremely delicious." Bring it quickly, and ask Ya'er to eat it too. ”
There were a total of ten pieces of pipa cheese crisp, Ya'er and Jiang Changwan each ate two pieces, and left two more pieces for Zhou Du, and there were four left. Jiang Changwan looked at the extra cakes and said to Ruoquan, "You guys eat it." ”
This pastry is full of milky aroma, although Ruoquan is a little greedy, but he doesn't dare to accept it.
"You're not going to tell me to flatter my mother-in-law, are you?" Jiang Changwan said. Ruoquan hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, took the pastries and went out to share the food with a few big girls.
Somehow, this little thing reached the ears of Mrs. Zhou two days later, and she was so angry that she called Zhou Du to cry again.
Zhou Jue only felt very helpless, although Jiang Changwan was unkind, but after all, it was a pastry given to her by Song Zhi, whether she poured it or rewarded it, it was not even Zhou Jie's turn to point fingers.
"Who doesn't know what kind of boundary the palace is, and they eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow every day, if it's an ordinary snack, how can the princess send it? She was good, she and her daughter were full, so she rewarded the maid! I didn't think there was an old one in this courtyard, and there was a small one! Mrs. Zhou cried.
The palace has held banquets several times, and Zhou Jue has also eaten it, and the taste is not much different from other high-ranking families. However, I once heard Jiang Changwan say that the dishes made by the princess's small kitchen are more delicious, but in the end, it is just food, how expensive can it be?
"The second grade is small, and I can't eat pastries." Zhou Jue heard her crying, so he said.
Mrs. Zhou was stunned, threw a cup lid at Zhou Jie, was grabbed by Zhou Jie, and put aside.
"Mother, it's just a plate of pastries, the monthly expenses in your hospital are one hundred taels, and I, as a son, have never been treated badly in terms of eating and drinking, why should I learn to be like the fourth aunt, it is inevitable that I will lose my identity."
The fourth aunt in Zhou Jie's mouth was the most pungent one among Mrs. Zhou's down-and-out relatives, and she was a little dissatisfied, so she cried, made trouble, and said that she was going to hang herself.
"When did I say pastry? I'm saying that she'd rather reward someone than honor me! Old Madam Zhou said angrily.
Zhou Jue shook his head, already losing his patience, "Aren't you clear about your relationship with Wan'er?" In the past, you said that Wan'er was arrogant, and she was a big lady. But whenever she brought something back from her mother, she didn't send it to your hospital, and she still disliked it when she sent it, saying that she was taking a tone in front of your eyes? You are still not satisfied, you have brought the relationship to this point, and you are talking everywhere about how unfilial Wan'er is, so that Wan'er does not want to step into your courtyard, and you yourself are uncomfortable. You say to yourself, what exactly do you want. ”
Mrs. Zhou was speechless for a while, her mouth kept puffing, but she couldn't speak, she was like a toad all the time, she struggled for a long time before she roared out and said, "You blame me, you only blame me!" I don't want to think about your lady's temperament, it's because she doesn't care about it, so she hurts your cousin's body so weak! ”
