Chapter Forty-Seven: The Rebellion (Part II)
Chapter 47: The Rebellion (Part II)
The steward of the Tao Mansion quietly peeked out the door. "There seemed to be a lot of torches outside, and the rebels wearing red scarves were shaking around, and they were saying something about the restoration of the former dynasty." ”
Before the steward finished speaking, he heard another little guy come to report like a gust of wind, "There is a chaotic party throwing torches into the house." ”
The eldest lady was shocked, and she almost didn't slow down in one breath, "Quick, go and tell people to keep an eye on it, don't ...... Don't set the house on fire. Yaohua stepped forward, and the eldest lady grabbed Yaohua's hand tightly.
Yaohua said: "Mother, don't worry, there are so many people in the house, those chaotic parties are just wandering around the city, and they will probably leave in front of our house in a while." ”
The eldest lady nodded, and instructed the steward, "Be careful not to climb over the wall to get in." ”
The steward hurriedly went to patrol the places.
Although Mrs. Cai didn't speak on the side, her face was extremely bad. That's what she's afraid of, being surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the court, those desperate and red-eyed thieves don't know what they're going to do, in case they target the homes of dignitaries......
Everyone was terrified. After surviving for a while, the voices outside the house gradually became quieter, thinking that those thieves had gone elsewhere, and the steward hurriedly came to report.
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Who knew that not long after, the mother-in-law guarding the back door heard someone hissing and shouting, "What are you going to do?" Come on, come on. The mother-in-law looked at each other, and an older woman was the first to react, "I'll go and tell the eldest lady." He went to the big lady's house in a panic.
When the woman left, the rest of the people were still listening to the movement outside, there was the sound of something falling to the ground, the woman's cry for help, making people listen to the hair erected, separated by a thick door panel, but it seemed to be in front of them, the door crack was filled with the light of the torch, the mother-in-law looked at the outside carefully, and suddenly the fire flashed at the crack of the door, and the mother-in-law thought that the fire was burning, and they were suddenly startled, and they were shocked.
Some mothers-in-law suddenly couldn't suppress their exclamations.
This exclamation immediately led to the firelight.
The light of the fire was bright again, and it seemed that the torch rolled over the door again, and then it was kicked again, and from then on it could not be stopped, and the people outside kicked the door in full swing.
The eldest lady sat down and just took a sip of tea. I heard a mother-in-law come in and report, "Mrs., Mrs., those thieves have gone to the courtyard where the fourth aunt is recuperating." The mother-in-law continued to speak, and when she saw the sharp eyes of the eldest lady, she immediately stopped talking, and then looked at the house, and there was still Mrs. Hou Ye of the Marquis of Yicheng Mansion.
The eldest lady asked, "I have already arranged a lot of manpower for the fourth aunt, how can the thieves easily enter?" Who saw it? ”
The mother-in-law's voice suddenly became quieter, "I didn't see it, but I heard what seemed to be Liu Er in the fourth aunt's house shouting." ”
"I didn't see it, but I was panicking here." The eldest lady was about to speak again, and another mother-in-law crawled in outside, "Madam, it's not good, those thieves are kicking the door." ”
The eldest lady got up suddenly, her eyes were dark, Dong Rui and Yaohua hurriedly held her up, Mrs. Cai saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly asked Chen's mother, "What kind of sobering medicine is there in the house, hurry up and bring it." ”
Chen's mother remembered this and hurriedly sent Yaqin to get the medicine. Yaqin brought the An Kun Dingshen Pill from the house to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady's face gradually eased, and the eldest lady opened her eyes and beckoned to Chen's mother, "Go and let the men in the house guard the back door, go and ...... quickly."
Mother Chen hurriedly went out to make arrangements, but the eldest lady was still not at ease, so she stood up, "I'm going to go to the back door to have a look," and turned her head to look at Yaohua, "You just stay with Mrs. Cai." ”
Mrs. Cai said: "How can I sit still here, I'll go over with my in-laws." ”
The eldest lady had a difficult face, "How can this be made, in case ......"
Mrs. Cai said: "Needless to say, the wife of the in-laws family, at this time, there will be more reliance and care when there is one more person by your side, and you can't take care of too much." ”
The eldest lady looked at Yaohua, "You are a girl, it is always bad to show up." ”
Yaohua insisted: "The mother is over there, and the daughter is really not at ease. ”
The eldest lady sighed, and then went to the back door with Mrs. Cai, Yaohua and others.
When I arrived at the back door, I saw the fire slowly rushing into the air, the maids and mothers-in-law were in a mess, some people told them to get water quickly, some people told them to resist the fire at the door first and not come in, and some people said: "What about the fourth aunt?" Did you save the fourth aunt first? ”
Although the situation was in full view, the eldest lady still asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The housekeeper's mother-in-law replied, "Mrs., those thieves couldn't open the door, and somehow they burned down the small courtyard where the fourth aunt lived. ”
The eldest lady hurriedly asked again, "Will the fire spread?" ”
The housekeeper said: "At this time, the north wind usually blows. But the small courtyard is close to this side, and it is hard to guarantee that it will ......."
The eldest lady commanded, "Go and get some water." This matter is careless, Dali Temple Wang Shaoqing's family was affected because the temple was on fire. "In the end, a huge mansion was burned to the ground.
"The fourth aunt."
The eldest lady immediately gritted her teeth, this scourge.
If the fourth aunt has been hiding in the old lady's house since marrying the third and fourth misses like the eldest aunt, or has been dying and sick like the other aunts...... That's it.
Who knew that she was hard-willed, and she didn't say anything about her son, and she used this as an excuse to cry and wipe her tears in front of the lord all day long, taking advantage of the lord's soft-hearted heart to tell right and wrong.
The corners of the eldest lady's mouth drooped, showing a little indifference, and finally got her out of the garden, and finally harmed the Tao Mansion.
The eldest lady's face was not good, and the subordinates didn't dare to ask anything, so they hurriedly went to work.
The burning smoke choked people and coughed incessantly, and the eldest lady, Mrs. Cai, Yaohua and others all took handkerchiefs to cover their mouths and noses.
The eldest lady walked up to Mrs. Cai, took away the handkerchief and wiped her tears, "What can I do?" How will I explain when the master comes back? ”
Mrs. Cai hurriedly persuaded the eldest lady.
As he was talking, Yanhua hurriedly ran over, and Yaohua hurriedly went up to stop it, but it didn't seem to stop. Advantech stretched out his hand to push Yaohua away, if Chu Xiao wasn't beside him, Yaohua would have fallen to the ground.
The eldest lady's eyes became gloomy again when she saw it, and even Mrs. Cai next to her frowned.
Chu Xiao beside Yaohua was still angry, Yaohua was still as usual, and took a few steps forward to rush to Yanhua's side, "Sixth sister, my mother and I are going to your ......" These words are already obvious.
Yanhua didn't take it to heart, and said to the eldest lady: "Mother, please, go and rescue the fourth aunt!" "I cried as I spoke. The makeup on his face was a mess, and he knelt down in front of everyone, "The fourth aunt is sick, how can she come out with such a big fire?" Mother, if you ask someone to go out and have a look, even if you do, you can't leave her there to fend for herself. ”
The eldest lady asked sharply, "Who said that she was going to be left to fend for herself?" ”
Yanhua was stunned for a moment, and the others in the mansion didn't dare to speak out again.
It took a long time for Advantech to say, "Why didn't Mother open the door?" Those thieves are out there! ”
The eldest lady said, "Do you still know that the thieves are outside?" If you know, why do you say these things? If I open the door, I'm nothing, what about you sisters? The eldest lady's gaze was like a needle, which made Yanhua shiver, "If it wasn't for the safety of the entire mansion, why would I do this." ”
Yanhua cried again, "Then my mother said, what should I do?" ”
The eldest lady helped Yanhua up with her own hands in front of everyone, and lovingly gave Yanhua Li sideburns, "Poor boy, I just said that no matter who has an accident in this house, I can't explain it to your father. I can only wait for a little too much outside, and then let a few people go out to find the fourth aunt, I must make sure first," she looked around, "this up and down is safe." ”
Yanhua followed the gaze of the eldest lady, countless pairs of eyes were looking at her, she was suddenly silent, only a pair of pitying eyes fell on her in one corner, she was startled and looked carefully, it turned out to be Miss Eight.
After the eldest lady finished speaking, as soon as she looked up and saw Rong Hua also standing far away, she stretched out her hand and called Rong Hua over, "Why are you here too?" ”
Hearing that the house where the fourth aunt was recuperating was on fire, Rong Hua came over with hibiscus, and saw Yanhua hurrying over from a distance, and wanted to stop Yanhua to ask about the situation. But seeing Yaohua coming over and stretching out his hand to stop Yanhua, Yaohua didn't speak, Yanhua was suddenly anxious to bypass Yaohua, and this circle accidentally "pushed" Yaohua, Yaohua staggered and almost fell.
It's a good show......
Rong Hua looked at the fire and said, "I also heard people talking about the fire, so I came over to take a look." ”
The eldest lady sighed, "I didn't expect this kind of disaster. ”
Calm was restored to the house, and the steward said, "It seems that the officers and soldiers are coming, and the thieves have fled in all directions." ”
The eldest lady nodded, "Wait outside for a while, and let people go out to see the fourth aunt quickly." As soon as he finished saying that, there was another knock at the front door.
The janitor called Steward Huo to listen.
I only listened to the people outside: "Save people, save people, our lady...... Let me...... Fast...... Hurry up ......"
The man's voice was intermittent, and Steward Huo only listened to it approximately.
The little guy said: "Is it a passer-by who came to ask for help?" ”
It's also possible to be chased tightly by thieves, but this is just the case...... Steward Huo was moved by compassion. But the eldest lady said that she was not allowed to open the door without permission, and Steward Huo could only repay the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was asking people to extinguish the fire that was burning, and Steward Huo came over, she frowned, "Didn't you ask who it was?" ”
Steward Huo replied in a low voice: "I asked, it seems that I was in too much of a hurry and couldn't say anything, so I asked people to continue to interrogate, and I came to Mrs. first." ”
The eldest lady said: "At least ask clearly, in case it is a means used by thieves, then how can you get it." Besides, it's not easy for us to protect ourselves now. ”
Steward Huo hurriedly agreed, and returned to the front door, the little guy who had just interrogated the person who came stepped forward and whispered a few words to Steward Huo, Steward Huo's face suddenly changed, "What?" Duchess of Anguo? ”
Hee-hee, no accident, I'll see the male silver tomorrow
