Chapter 6 Saving the tablet by risk
"It's on fire! Fight the fire!! ”
"The ancestral hall is on fire! Come and put out the fire! ”
……
The howl in the backyard soon spread to the outer courtyard, and at this time, the banquet had just begun, and everyone gathered together to greet Bai Zhengzhong.
Hearing that the ancestral hall was on fire, the atmosphere of the banquet immediately became a mess, and everyone panicked. Bai Zhengzhong bore the brunt of Tengdi standing up from the seat, and he didn't even say a superfluous greeting in a hurry, and rushed directly to the backyard with the crowd. Zheng, who was sitting on the women's seat behind the screen, was also very flustered, and hurriedly let the visitors sit down for a while and left with the support of Dongmei.
But no one wants to miss the opportunity to wait and see, and at this time, everyone from the top and bottom of the Bai family rushed to the inner courtyard to put out the fire, and no one was left to take care of the remaining visitors. I don't know who started and said that they wanted to see if there was anything they could do to help, and everyone followed back and forth.
The location of the ancestral hall was selected according to feng shui a hundred years ago, and it has not been moved and renovated, although the wood used to build it is all good wood, but after a hundred years of wind and rain, there are some obsolete.
When Bai Zhengzhong arrived, the fire was already very fierce, and all the snow around him had turned into ice water and was quickly dried up, and the heat wave was blowing so hard that people's eyes were about to be opened.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a tendency to spread along the corridor to other small courtyards, Bai Zhengzhong shouted: "Break the road first!" Fight the fire again! ”
"Sir! The fire is so big that we have arranged for someone to go to the prison to put out the fire, but ...... The ancestral hall may ...... Can't keep it! ”
"Rubbish!" Bai Zhengzhong scolded, but he couldn't stop coughing because he inhaled a mouthful of hot air with ash in his mouth: "Cough! Ahem! Tablet ...... Go in and get me the tablet out! ”
The scolded servants don't dare to make it bigger, with such a big fire, who dares to go in again!
Seeing the servant's hesitation, Bai Zhengzhong was about to scold again, when he saw a maid running over in a hurry.
"Sir, sir! The eldest lady rescued a few tablets! The maid held a few blackened rows in her arms, and her voice was crisp, but she was anxious and crying: "But the eldest lady...... It's in again! ”
"Miss?" Bai Zhengzhong's brain was roasted by the raging fire, and he couldn't function normally at all. "Which lady?"
When Chun Tao heard this, she was so angry and anxious that she stomped her feet: "The eldest lady said that she would save the tablet of the ancestors of the Bai family first, and then save the first lady, so she just went in against the fire again!" ”
Only then did Bai Zhengzhong realize that the eldest lady that Chun Tao said was Bai Shuangshuang, the daughter he had forgotten for a long time.
"Frost? Frost in the ancestral hall?! ”
"Yes!"
Bai Zheng was in a big hurry, and immediately commanded the people who came and went around him: "Hurry! Go and get the tablet out! And the big lady! Fast! As he said this, he took a few steps back as the fire grew.
Chun Tao was so anxious that she almost cried, although Bai Shuang had told her to just take these tablets and tell Bai Zhengzhong to listen to them before she came out for the first time, but seeing that no one in this mansion really wanted to save Bai Shuangshuang, Chun Tao had already planned to throw away the tablets and rush directly into the fire to save people.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the crowd watching from a safe distance-
"Look! Someone is out! ”
"It must be the eldest lady of the Bai family, you hurry up and save people!"
In the midst of the fire, a thin body staggered out, with embers still on its clothes, and fell outside the ancestral hall.
"Miss!" Chun Tao couldn't care so much anymore, stuffed the tablet in her arms into Bai Zhengzhong's hand, and rushed over with a sigh and pounced on the fallen white frost who fell to the ground and moaned, extinguishing the embers on her clothes.
Chun Tao held the white frost in her arms, and her tears couldn't stop flowing: "Miss! Wake up, Miss! ”
Bai Zhengzhong slapped the servant on the side with one free hand, and shouted angrily: "Hurry up and bring the eldest lady here!" ”
"Yes! Be! ”
Bai Zhengzhong looked at the Zheng family who was frowning and standing aside and watching coldly, the anger in his heart was in his heart, so he said to the Zheng family angrily: "Why are you still stunned, don't you hurry up and ask a doctor!" Do you want Frosty to die here? ”
Where was Zheng scolded by Bai Zhengzhong like this, an unhappy look appeared on his face, but he still forcibly said to Cuiyu beside him: "Why don't you ask the doctor to come and show the eldest lady." ”
"Yes, yes."
The white frost was sent to a safe place, and the visitors came to watch with confidence, only to see that the white frost had her eyes closed, her hair was scattered, and her face was full of black spots because of the smoke and fire, but there were tear stains around her eyes.
"Mother...... Mother......"
The white frost seemed to have passed out, but tears kept flowing from under the closed eyelids, and her mouth kept muttering to herself, and her hands were clutching the hem of her clothes.
Bai Zhengzhong's eyes lit up, and he pointed to Bai Shuangshuang's hand and asked Chun Tao, "What is in Shuangshuang's arms?" Is it a tablet? ”
Of course, Chun Tao knew what was inside, but she was still distressed, and she broke off Bai Shuangshuang's hand with crying and took out the tablet she was protecting in her arms.
Half of the tablet had been burned, and only the words Bai Feng's words could be faintly seen on the blurred surface.
"Mother...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Mother......"
The chatter around gradually became quieter, and only the noise of firefighting in the distance could be heard.
After a long time, a sigh suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Alas, what a good woman." ”
One voice arose, and the sigh gradually increased.
"Give your life for your clan. This woman has great wisdom. ”
"Bachelor Bai is blessed."
"Mrs. Bai also has meritorious teaching, and she is worthy of being the daughter of a university scholar, and she has a family history."
……
Zheng listened to it in his ears and smiled on his face, but he was extremely embarrassed in his heart.
Bai Zhengzhong, who was originally seeing the scene of Bai Shuangshuang holding Feng's broken tablet and muttering, felt his eyes tingle, his heart was a little sour, and he felt very proud after hearing the praise around him.
He touched the top of Bai Shuangshuang's somewhat charred hair: "It is worthy of being my daughter in Bai Zhengzhong!" Fast! Doctor, please! ”
And all of this, Chun Tao listened to her and taught her to cry, she hugged the white frost to death, and silently thought in her heart: Miss, you have succeeded! You must see all this in peace!
Beside him, a clear gaze was cast on this unconscious delicate woman, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised an evil smile.
"I didn't expect that the Bai family would have such an interesting woman."
That Bai Zhengzhong turned around and saw the most noble five princes, so he raised his feet and stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Lord Jue, please forgive me, I didn't expect that the Bai family would come out, this matter, alas." ”
The handsome man in blue interrupted Bai Zhengzhong's words with a light smile and said, "Where is Bai Shilang, isn't it a blessing that Bai Shilang's family has such a righteous woman?" Where forgiveness is needed. Haha, since Bai Shilang is not available today, then the king will come to visit another day. ”
"Lord Wang, please!"
