Chapter 7 Walking the Water
Xia Cunlu looked up at the thick smoke as thick as the city gate rushing into the sky, and his heart suddenly jumped non-stop, that direction seemed to be where their second room lived?
But how is that possible??
These days, Second Master Xia and Second Mrs. Xia are busy with the old lady's birthday, especially in the past two days, the second lady is there with the old lady almost every day, and she is running out more. Even so, they didn't beat the people below.
Even if it is so strict, something still happens, could it be that the girls are lazy, or accidentally knocked over the candle flame?
Wrong! It's daylight!
Xia Cunlu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly confessed to King Kang: "Please forgive your Highness, something happened in the mansion, and it is inconvenient to ......"
"Go ahead and get busy, and don't bother with this king."
King Kang's gaze swept over the billowing smoke, and he left the Xia Mansion with Hu Shizi with a hint of doubt. His Majesty's Mansion has Jing Zhaoyi to deal with it, and if he rashly intervenes, he will not end up with the impression of forming a party for personal gain, which is not what he wants.
At this moment, the main courtyard of the second room of the Xia Mansion has already become a pot of porridge!
The maids ran back and forth carrying water, and the fire-fighting servants flew up and down with the guys in their hands, a busy scene.
Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, Xia Cunlu was already dead in the mind of extinguishing the fire, and while he was busy ordering people to wet the surrounding houses to prevent the fire from spreading, he ordered people to report to the old lady and the old lady.
Who knew that the old lady had already gotten the news, and sent the eldest lady He to accompany the second lady Wang to rush over. Seeing that his residence was engulfed in flames, Wang's heart was so painful that he fainted all of a sudden, so frightened that He hurriedly asked someone to hire a house doctor, and then gradually rescued.
"Ouch! Oh my God, what's going on, my treasures, my silver tickets...... Ouch, my heart...... It hurts to death......"
When Wang woke up, she clutched her chest and cried and shouted, so that she could watch the fire in front of her rag like a demon raging in front of her, and she felt like a knife cutting into her heart, so painful that she cried for a while, scolded for a while, begged her grandfather to tell her grandmother, and then begged the Bodhisattva for a while......
Second Master Xia looked at her battle and only felt that his eyes were black for a while! Why don't you think this woman is so useless on weekdays? When he encountered something, it seemed that there was nothing else but crying, and he was really- really ...... Blind!
"Enough!"
Second Master Xia was so noisy that his brain hurt, and as soon as his roar fell, Wang's side quieted down as if he was frozen. The eldest lady He took the opportunity to persuade: "Brother and sister, this thing has happened, and the top priority is to think of ways to put out the fire." If you cry like this, if you hurt your body, how can it be good? ”
Wang turned his head and glared at Xia Erye, and in a blink of an eye, he grabbed He's hand and cried: "Sister-in-law, what else can you do now?" Look at the fire, ouch! My heart hurts like I've been cut off a piece of flesh! Ouch! Tell me, tell me, now our old lady's birthday is coming, but there is this thing in our second room, so how can I explain it to the old lady! Ouch! Which one is this unlucky! Originally, I thought that this year's old lady's 60th birthday would have to be done well, and there was a fixed amount of silver that could be taken in the public school, and I also told the old lady that the second room was going to take out a few thousand taels this year, so let's have a good time together, who would have thought that this fire would burn...... Ouch, my heart, ouch, now I don't have any ideas! ”
When He heard this, he secretly pursed his lips and couldn't help but slander in his heart, if he really wanted to take the silver out, as for the old lady's birthday, it was almost coming, and she hadn't seen a copper plate pop out of the second room? Now it's a good thing, this fire is burning, which is a ready-made reason not to pay!
Looking at Wang's distressed and calculating face, He secretly hated it!
Who doesn't know that the second room is the best at management, and now in this summer mansion, if you want to say that the richest day is the most comfortable, I'm afraid that the one in front of you is the one in front of you, but it's just a birthday silver, but you want to be famous and don't want to make silver, these days every day to the old lady's house to offer some small courtesy, oh, the small abacus is really fine! Hmph, maybe this fire happened because God couldn't see it!
This fire made He's heart very happy, but the words on his face were still true: "Look at what my brother and sister said, if such a big thing happens, no one will feel good in their hearts." But in any case, we have to solve the matter in front of us first. As for the old lady's birthday, what should I do, how much money should be spent, the old lady has the final say, second uncle, don't you say? ”
Well, this ball was kicked to Xia Erye!
Second Master Xia really wants to scold his mother at this time! When is this time, and there is still the mind to fight with the big house, isn't it just a little silver? Their second room is not short of this bit of silver, as for such a calculation?
"Sister-in-law, rest assured, the silver that should be given will not be less than a penny in our second room, and the old man's birthday is important. There is such a bad thing in the second room now, so the sister-in-law will be more responsible for the birthday, and I will let people go to the silver number to bring the silver back and send it to you! ”
As soon as He Shi heard this, his eyebrows and eyes soared! If she knew that the second uncle was so easy to talk to, she should have bypassed the Wang family and asked the master to find him directly, maybe things could be done more beautifully.
On the side, after listening to Xia Cunlu's words, Wang's face turned from white to blue, and the handkerchief in his hand was about to be torn!
Seeing this, He Shi was afraid of going on a business trip, so he hurriedly smiled and took Xia Cunlu's words: "Ouch, I know that you are a very clear person, second uncle." You also know the situation in our house, maybe this year the noble concubine will also come back to save the family, if it is the same, that part of the public is far from enough. The old lady was going to take out her own body and use the silver, but if she really used the old lady's money, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of our two rooms? Now that I have the words of the second uncle, I am much more relieved to get things done! ”
On the side, Wang only felt that a mouthful of old blood was almost spurting out!
With the money in her second room, can she feel uncomfortable? If it were her, she would be comfortable! Besides, Concubine Xia Guifei went out of the big room, and it has nothing to do with her second room, why did she let the second room take the silver to please the daughter of their big house?
Wang was about to say something more, but she caught a glimpse of a cold look handed over by Second Master Xia, and she didn't dare to speak again. The real person in charge of this silver is Xia Cunlu, if he makes him unhappy and snubs himself, wouldn't he have cheapened that group of aunts for nothing? Hmph, this kind of thankless thing, she resolutely can't do it!
Besides, as soon as the second master opened his mouth in this matter, there was no way to recover it, so if you are aggrieved, you will be aggrieved!
It took the little guys more than half a day to extinguish the fire, and looking at the dark ruins, Wang wanted to cry without tears!
"Second master?"
Xia Cunlu sighed and said, "Let's take it as a disaster breaker!" ”
Wang's heart still hurts, but it hurts, things are already like this, so it can only be like this! Fortunately, most of the money she earned was kept in the study of the master in the outer courtyard, otherwise she would really cry to death!
"Second master, why did you say that this house, which is good in the middle of the day, is out of the water?"
“……”
That's exactly what he wants to ask, okay?
"Check! Let people check it out, if you let me find out that this thing is caused by someone's lack of dedication, I will be killed directly! ”
Wang nodded, "What the second master said is true!" ”
The matter is in her main house, so none of the maids in her yard can be missed!
