Chapter Seventy-Three: Intentions
The people who were fighting the fire, seeing that the female bodhisattva in their minds were fine, gave up the futile rescue and said some words of relief, and then dispersed.
Li Siye was wrapped in a sheet, and Jiang Yun carried the cabinet and walked slowly. Jiang Yun grinned, God, the advantage of this big man's height is too obvious. The two of them carried the cabinet, and most of the weight was transferred to him. But Xiaoxiao insisted that the two of them carry it, and he didn't say anything. After all, the mood of this brother and sister is ...... now Very bad!
Xiaoxiao walked in front with Qing'er, planning for her future life: the Jiang family's courtyard has been reduced to ashes, which is already a fact that cannot be changed. The nervousness and anxiety I felt when I first knew that the house was on fire was instinctive. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be much. After all, there was nothing precious in that house.
The few silver taels have been brought to the farm by themselves. The Xie Yuan and the first banner that Qin gave were thought to be turned into ashes, but they were unexpectedly carried out of the fire by Li Siye. In this way, the damage of this fire is really not large. Except for some cheap and simple daily necessities and those books in Zhixuan's study, even the clothes and quilts are in that cabinet, safe and sound!
looked back at Li Siye, who was wrapped in a sheet and carrying the cabinet, and nodded with satisfaction: This security guard is really tough, such a big fire, he dared to rush in! I made up my mind that I must take advantage of this rare talent. Even if it is not for himself, if Zhixuan really becomes an official in the future, he will be a good candidate to be a guard.
As for the rest of my life, I really don't have to worry too much. If Zhixuan was still at home, he might feel a pity. But now that Zhixuan is in the palace, he has to take care of the farm, and it is more convenient to move to the farm. Those daily necessities don't cost a few taels of silver, and it looks like autumn is still two or three months away. By then, the farm should be profitable – many hens are now singing in the afternoon, which is a precursor to the start of laying eggs!
With these earnings support, there is no need to worry about life problems at all. In late autumn, when the fish and pigs are strong, it is time to consider renovating the house.
However, there is one problem that must be solved: the fire in the house must have been caused by man. You don't even have to think about it to know that it must have been Wu Siyuan's doing. Today, I expected the enemy to be the first and escaped. But there is no guarantee that the thief will not come again, so he must find a way to stop his plot. The trouble is that he has no evidence to prove that he was responsible for the fire in the Jiang family's house. There's no reason to even trouble him......
Yes! Trouble! A flash of inspiration flashed in the little one's mind, so I did it and gave him some trouble. If the people knew about it, the county lord was resentful because he couldn't seize the land, and he ordered someone to burn down the house of the Duke of Yuan. At that time, public opinion will be in an uproar, and he will definitely not dare to be so presumptuous and have scruples.
Well, that's a good idea, and I'll get people out into town tomorrow to spread the rumors. After making this decision, Xiaoxiao kept shouting in her heart: God, it's not that I want to hurt people, I'm just doing this to protect myself, you old man should open your eyes and see clearly......
Back at the farm, Li Qin called at the door for a long time, and Uncle Jiang and the others opened the gate with shovels and rakes. After the group rushed in, Uncle Jiang and Brother Wang immediately closed the door again, and then hurriedly ran to the dining room to see what instructions Madame had.
Xiaoxiao sat back at the dinner table, let Qing'er lead the way, and took Li Siye and Jiang Yun to carry the cabinet to the bedroom. Then Li Siye took out the only set of clothes from the baggage he brought, took a few buckets of water to the bathroom to wash his body clean, and changed his clothes before returning to the main hall.
The food on the table has not been removed, and it is still hot. However, after everyone sat down again, they didn't say a word, and no one moved their chopsticks. After all, such a disaster happened, and everyone was speculating in their hearts: Madame must be in a very bad mood at this time.
Xiaoxiao saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, and smiled unexpectedly: "Everyone doesn't need to be like this, come, continue to eat!" ”
Everyone still didn't move, and Uncle Jiang opened his mouth to comfort him, but his mouth opened, and the words of consolation still didn't come out after all. Li Qin's face was not good-looking at this time, he was angry:
This Wu Siyuan, knowing that his son and his sister live in that house, even dared to ask someone to set fire, which is obviously to kill our sister and brother! This bastard doesn't take me as a governor too much.................. The son of the dish is a dish, right?
Seeing that everyone was still so heavy, Xiao Xiao knew that they were worried and unhappy about themselves. I couldn't help but feel comforted, so I smiled again:
"I know that everyone is worried about me, and I am grateful in my little care. But I want to tell everyone that I really don't care. The house was already in disrepair, not to mention, the important things in the house had been brought to the farm, and there was no loss. So you don't have to worry, Xiaoxiao originally planned to renovate the house when the farm has a surplus after the autumn, and when the time comes, you have to ask everyone to help! ”。
When everyone heard her say this, their heavy hearts were lightened a little. Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:
"Brother and sister, I'm not worried about the rest. However, there are still so many poems and books of Brother Xuan in that house! He was preparing for the spring festival again, and when he came back, he saw that so many poetry books had been burned, and I was worried that he would ......"
Xiao Xiaowen nodded: "Uncle is reasonable, but now that Zhixuan is still in the palace, I'm afraid it will take a few months to come back." Over the course of a few months, we slowly bought those poetry books back. As he spoke, he turned to Li Qin:
"Brother Qin, I'll hand it over to you at this time, you also want to participate in the Spring Festival, and you know that you should buy those poetry books!"
Li Qin nodded when he heard this, and then became embarrassed again:
"Sister, it's not difficult to make ordinary poetry books, but my brother-in-law has a copy of "Daxian Collection", which is a rare book, and it is difficult to buy in bookstores......"
"There's no way around it, let's buy the necessary poetry books for Chunfu first! I've seen that book too, and if I really can't buy it, I have to ask my father and mother to think of a way! ”
Li Qin nodded and stopped talking, and Xiaoxiao turned his head to look at Li Siye again. The future famous general of the Tang Dynasty was frowning and listening to their conversation, but his eyes were looking at the dinner table, thinking that he had been tossing for a while and was hungry.
Xiaoxiao hurriedly raised his chopsticks and beckoned everyone: "Okay, everyone, you can rest assured, right?" Come on, don't waste this table! ”。 As he spoke, he picked up a piece of chicken and sent it to Li Siye's bowl:
"Heiye, don't work so hard in the future, no matter how important things are, after all, they are all dead things, as long as you have silver, you can buy them back! In my eyes, your life is the most important thing, and once you lose it, no amount of money can be replaced! ”
A flash of light flashed in Li Siye's eyes, and Jiang Yun, Jiang Feng and the others also paused slightly. Then everyone returned to the way they were, but their hearts were turbulent!
At the same time, a man in black was rushing towards the county seat of Wu Mansion in embarrassment......
