Chapter 6 Prosperity is a dream

At night, when the lights came on, the people of Ye Mansion also began to be busy lighting the lamps for the masters.

Ye Mengyan was scolded by her father for the first time today, and she always felt a little aggrieved and unwilling in her heart. But this unfortunate thing has nothing to do with Ye Menghan, so she sat and watched a play. This loss of face made her unable to swallow. But her father's rules are set there, no matter how bitter she is, she will grit her teeth and swallow it in her stomach. I can only eat this nausea mixed with dinner. So much so that now it's entangled in five times, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, so I can't sleep. She thought about it, and she couldn't sleep left and right, so it was better to go with the maid to watch the fish and enjoy the scenery under the lantern and the moon.

Her yard is called Laurel Temple. Just because she likes osmanthus and koi, she plants osmanthus everywhere in the yard and builds ponds in every pavilion. The building is elegant, and it can be said that it is the most chic place in Yefu. In particular, the fish viewing pavilion in the middle of the courtyard is an excellent place to enjoy and feed fish.

The maid Yu Gui'er placed a lotus lamp in her hand on the lamp, and let the soft light attract the swimming fish in the pool. In less than a moment, the fish gathered around. She watched the red and white tail swim over before she said happily to her young lady

"Miss, come and see, this four-stage red and white is welcoming us!"

Yu Gui'er jumped to her feet happily, and sighed in her heart that this fish was really spiritual. You must know that your own lady's favorite thing on weekdays is these four red and white, and she has to serve it more carefully than serving the master. It can be seen that the curtain is hanging from the sky, and this effort is not in vain. At this moment, the young lady is in a bad mood, so it swims to please the young lady, isn't this spiritual!

Ye Mengyan originally watched the fish just to eliminate food and relieve sorrow. But as soon as he saw the red and white koi coming, he hurriedly gathered under the lamp to look.

Just looking at the warm light of ginger reflected in the water, it seems that it is extraordinary. The red and white lines on the fish's body are soaked in the water, like fine silk. The gorgeous scales that scatter a faint stream of light are even more luxurious.

The fish circled around Ye Mengxi, as if playing with her, making her laugh. Yu Gui'er saw that the young lady was in a relaxed mood, and she made a great contribution to the carp in her heart. Just as he was about to fetch fish food to feed it, he saw some fire suddenly reflect in the turquoise water.

"What is this?"

Ye Mengyan also found the different colors in the water, so she wanted to take off the lotus lantern on the lampstand and shine it on the water surface to see what was going on. But before she could take off the lamp, she heard a scream from Gui'er.

"Miss!"

Yu Gui'er's voice trembled, and she subconsciously pulled Ye Mengyan's sleeve.

The two looked up and saw that the dark night sky was being torn apart by a tongue of fire. The sky-high flames even burned the sky white. The fire was so big that even if the two of them didn't have to hold the lamp, they could see each other's stunned looks.

"Is this a drain?"

The first time Ye Mengyan touched the water, she felt that the fire was dazzling and dazzling, and she could feel its boiling heat just by looking at it. With such a ferocious flame, it is no wonder that the water of the pond reflects such a large ball of light.

"Miss, what else are you looking at? Let's go! ”

Yu Gui'er didn't know which yard started the fire. It's just that just looking at the laurel garden, there is such a situation. She was worried about her young lady's life, and shouted screaming while pulling Ye Mengyan.

"Come on, people, go to the water!"

The two of them shouted and ran, and they didn't even bother to pick up a lamp, and stumbled out of the laurel garden by the light of the fire.

At this time, the people in Ye Fuzhong had not yet fallen asleep. Hearing Yu Gui'er's shout, the maids and servants rushed out one after another with a basin of water. But a group of people searched left and right, and turned the whole house up, but they didn't see even a single spark.

Master Ye, who was invited out to take refuge temporarily, was also puzzled when he sat in the courtyard. They have seen the sky-high fire, but they really don't have water!

Zhao's eyes rolled, and he called the housekeeper Xiangrong to command

"You go out of the house to inquire and see which one burns so badly?"

This fire is so strong, even looking at it in the Ye Mansion is so clear, I mistakenly think that my own family has gone to water. Presumably the fire source is nearby! Seeing that the fire was so big, she had to ask her subordinates to prepare in advance, so as not to affect the Ye Mansion.

Xiangrong hurriedly went out and looked around. But all of them are closed doors, and it doesn't look like there's something wrong. I had to run farther away and find a watchman to ask.

As soon as Zhao Si, who was on the watch, understood what he was asking, his brows raised. replied with an exaggerated look on his face

"Where's this street! It was Prime Minister Fang's family who walked the water. The fire is so big that even the mansion of Lord Zhongcheng next to him is going to burn down! ”

Zhao Si was excited, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he leaned into Xiangrong's ear and whispered

"I heard that this fire was set by the eldest son of the Fang family! Didn't his father be imprisoned for gambling and curses, and they all said that this fire was a witchcraft to change his father's life. But looking at this tonight, he must have suffered a backlash.

What Zhao Si said is serious. Although Xiangrong didn't believe it all, he didn't dare to delay even after getting the news, and hurriedly ran back to Ye's mansion to report to the Zhao family.

"What? Fangfu! ”

The Zhao family was very puzzled when they heard Xiangrong's words, wasn't the prime minister's family a few streets away from them! Why did Fang Mansion go to the water, it seemed that it had burned to their Ye Mansion.

"Madam, it is indeed Fang Mansion. Zhao Si, who was on the watch, also said that the fire was set by the eldest young master of the Fang family, and he wanted to use witchcraft to save his father. ”

Xiangrong 1510 said.

Zhao snorted coldly and said disappreciatively

"What kind of witchcraft, I think he just doesn't want to die alone. Before you die, you always have to pull two pads."

are all going to die, and they are still tossing and turning in the night, making them unsafe! She doesn't care whose house is out of the water, she just hates this unlucky thing and even affects herself and has to run out.

When Master Fang heard the conversation between Xiangrong and Zhao, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The huge Prime Minister's Mansion only went to the house and died in a day or two, and the days when Prime Minister Fang was respected at the head of the court were only half a month ago. This companion is like a tiger, and these courtiers are really always on the tip of the knife.

Seeing his three children standing in the hall together, especially the second daughter still had a look of panic on her face. I also knew that I was frightened of them, and now that I knew that it was the Fang family, there was no need to stay here. He instructed all the people in the courtyard to be vigilant tonight and take their young lady and young master to have a good rest.

Coming out of the front hall, Ye Menghan dared to relax his mind. It's just that she was sad in her heart, just in the hall to prevent being discovered, she pretended to be ignorant, but as soon as she walked out, her tears couldn't stop falling.

Qiao'er looked at her like this and exclaimed

"Miss, what's the matter? But I was scared just now."

She spoke loudly, and Ye Menghan hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head at her.

Other people in the Fang family may think it was just an accident, but she knew the inside story, but she knew that this fire took away two lives. At this moment, the gentle sheng song and the loyal man must be gone!

Tears ran down her cheeks and soon wet her collar. The night was as cold as water, and she only felt that everything around her seemed to be so cold, as if she was going to grow up overnight. In the past, there would be no one who treated her gently. Those good things are like dreams that go away with this fire.

Qiao'er took a handkerchief to wipe her tears. She saw that Ye Menghan's little face was full of teardrops, and she just wanted to coax her in distress.

"Qiao'er, if something happens to me in the future... You have to live well! ”

Ye Menghan said with tears in his eyes. Qiao'er didn't understand where she was talking about, but she still took her hand and said

"Miss will be fine, Qiao'er will always accompany Miss."

Her own lady must have been frightened by this fire, for fear that she would also encounter this natural disaster. Although the young lady's behavior is sometimes quite mature, the age is here. It's just that I was so frightened that I showed my feet.

She took out a pill of plum candy from her purse and put it in her mouth, and when she saw her frowning sourly, she took her hand again.

"Miss, don't be afraid, everything will pass as soon as it dawns tomorrow."

Ye Menghan looked up at the night sky where the firelight had disappeared, and thought to himself, will all this really be better tomorrow?

The pitch-black night sky gave him no answer, only a few faint stars that seemed to flicker.

On the outskirts of Hecheng, Lin Yuan counted the silver in his hand with a sad face. The aunt standing across from him was waiting patiently

"I also leave this yard idle, and the price is by no means high. If the little brother misses it, it will be difficult to find such a house in this Dutch City. ”

The aunt's voice was not loud, but in Lin Yuan's ears, it was like a few slaps in the face. This house is indeed not expensive, but at this moment he has all this money in his hand, if he rents this house, where will the two brothers and sisters have the money to put in the pot?

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Xi rubbed his sore legs, and after retreating from the carriage, they walked all the way to the outskirts of the city with only two legs. She was already soaked in sweat under the sun, and now she couldn't walk a single step. Lin Yuan looked at his sister's messy sideburns, and ruthlessly put all the silver taels in his aunt's hands. My sister is a boudoir daughter, and it is really not suitable to show her head. Let alone... He couldn't even move his own legs...

The aunt happily took the silver, and when she saw the two of them like this, she knew that she must not be able to endure any hardship! She handed the deed to Lin Yuan before she said

"Judging by the appearance of your brother and sister, they must have just arrived. My aunt has just steamed some dumplings, and I'll bring them to you later. In the future, you will inevitably have to move around, and you don't have to be too polite! ”

The villagers speak straightforwardly, and when they see such two beautiful dolls, they can't help but get closer. The aunt patted Lin Yuan's shoulder to show closeness, and the strength of his head made him take a few steps back. When the aunt saw that he was weak, she smiled and went to get them bread.

Only then did Lin Yuan support his sister and lead her into the hospital.

The yard they rented was only a small two-in, and it was said that there were two entrances, but in fact there were only a few pieces of turf in between. But the room is still clean and airy, so it doesn't look so shabby.

Lin Xi looked at the empty room, and then thought about his own Accord in the past. There are no things and objects, and some sadness inevitably arises in my heart. His father and mother were imprisoned and beheaded every day, and he and his brother fled in a hurry and barely picked up a life. Where are they going in the future?
