Chapter 8 Strange
It is said that Chu Peijin was going to go back and rest for a while after seeing that his second uncle had left with King Kang, but he was glared at by Xia Shi and said, "What are you doing there?" Why don't you come with me to meet your grandmother? ”
Chu Peijin glanced at the billowing smoke over there, and felt that Xia's mother still 'cared' about her so much even at this time, which really made her speechless. Seeing that there is such a thing in Xia Mansion, who still has the heart to care if you please ask for peace or not! If Baba runs over to say hello now, he will either be hung there or will be misunderstood as a joke about running to see Xia Fu.
In addition, she came here at the beginning, and she was still very unaccustomed to these ancient rules or something, if she went to visit her grandmother, she would have to kneel on the ground and kowtow, and for a while, she really couldn't do it!
Well, to put it bluntly, she doesn't like to kneel around with people, so well, it will take me some time to accept and get used to.
"Mother, seeing that the fire over there is getting bigger and bigger, I think instead of going to make trouble for my grandmother, it is better to go over and see, if we can help, it is better, if we can't help, at least we should go to comfort the official, and then comfort my grandmother and know what to say and what not to say, you say yes?"
Xia Shi was stunned, this girl seems to have a bit of sense! But soon she frowned again, what did she say before, this daughter has never refutated, today is eating leopard gall?
Over there, Xia Yixue and Xia Qingluan were already a little anxious! There is such a big thing in his house, and no one can stay still. Therefore, after hearing Chu Peijin say this, Xia Yixue hurriedly nodded and said:
"Auntie, what Cousin Jin said makes sense, why don't you go over there first, I'm so worried about my mother'......"
In that direction, nine times out of ten, it is really possible that it is the place where their second room is, maybe it is the courtyard where their parents live, and the more Xia Yixue thinks about it, the more anxious she becomes.
Xia Qingluan was also busy and said: "Yes, aunt, let's go over there first, my niece is also worried......
"Mother......" Chu Peixuan gently pulled the sleeve of the Laxia family, "You can take us to have a look, my daughter also cares about her uncle and aunt and their ......"
Xia was helpless, so he had to glare at Chu Peijin again, and then he spoke: "That's what I said, my heart is also up and down now, let's go and take a look!" ”
Chu Peijin was a little speechless about Xia's unsympathetic attitude, and, obviously, the former lord didn't like this mother, and he didn't know what the former lord had done to make Xia's grudge like this, hey! She wasn't impressed!
When the group went to the side of the fire, the fire had almost been extinguished, only some sporadic flames were burning, and although the smoke was not as thick as before, it was still a little choking in the surrounding area. Therefore, the second lady Wang could only sit far away in the pavilion to wipe her tears, and the expression on her face was like a dead old man, and her face was loveless.
Chu Peijin saw this scene from a distance and twitched the corners of her lips without a trace, isn't it just a courtyard, don't you want to be so exaggerated!
The second master of the Xia family is no longer here, and the two grandmothers and two maids behind the Wang family are accompanied, and there is the eldest lady He next to him. It's just that He's expression is much more comfortable, after all, it is not his own yard that burns.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you're all here! What about the second brother? ”
When Wang saw Xia coming, he couldn't help but grab her arm and howl loudly: "Second aunt and grandmother, you're here!" Jingzhao Yin Yamen is here, and your second brother has just left. After saying this, she reached out and wiped a handful of tears and pressed them on Xia's sleeve and cried, "My good second aunt, look at it, look at it, what kind of sin I have made!" This yard, and the things in it, are gone if you say no! Ouch, there's really nothing left, and now my heart seems to have been stripped off a piece, it really hurts me to death! It hurts so much that I don't want to live anymore......"
Xia was hugged by his sister-in-law's arm and couldn't pull it out for a while, thinking about the tears and snot that had just been wiped on his sleeve, he felt a sense of disgust, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, after all, in her mother's family, her second brother was a god of wealth.
Therefore, Xia had to comfort him in a good voice: "Second sister-in-law, be relieved, money is just something outside the body, don't be too sad." Besides, my second brother has always been a capable person, and when the things in this house are gone, I can buy some more and come back. Now it's imperative to think about where to stay tonight. Also, if this yard needs to be repaired, there needs to be a charter, if you keep crying, who should you give these things to do? ”
Wang was stunned, wasn't he? The second aunt and grandmother are right, if her eyes are crying, the matter of the second room may fall into the hands of Aunt Xu, if she takes this opportunity to show her face, then her status as the head of the house is not in danger? Thinking of this, she stopped her tears again, and the little girl next to her hurriedly handed over a wet handkerchief that had already been prepared to Wang Shi's face.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this! She glanced at Xia and said secretly, although the second aunt and grandmother are not calm enough, they have really never been sloppy in major matters. No, everyone is distressed about the things that have been burned, but she is already thinking about the aftermath, sure enough, people who are used to being home are different! He thinks that although he is also in charge of the family now, he can't do many things, and he has to carefully beg for a living under the old lady on weekdays, so he is both envious and jealous of Xia.
Xia Yixue saw that the Wang family was better, so she hurriedly approached and leaned on her mother's lap, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, you have to take your aunt's words to heart." Nothing is as important as your body, you have to be well, otherwise your daughter will be worried about dying! ”
Wang gently stroked her daughter's hair, until this time she finally had a trace of comfort in her heart, her daughter is so well-behaved and sensible, she will rely on herself to find a good family for her in the future, no matter what, she can't be hit by the things in front of her and can't get up!
While they were talking, Chu Peijin silently cast her eyes on the house. After a fire, the entire roof of the house had collapsed, and even the wings on both sides were not spared.
She still remembered that she had looked around when she sneaked in quietly, and the decoration inside was luxurious and atmospheric, and it was obvious that this second aunt was a person who loved money and could spend money, and now a fire was really nothing.
If I had known this, I should have had more things coming out at that time, oops! What a loss!
But then again, there was no open fire in the house at the time, so what was the reason for this fire to be so big? Chu Peijin suddenly remembered that when she left, she had caught a glimpse of a maid ring who seemed to be coming to the main room, could it be her? Could it be that she found something that led to the fire?
But why? Chu Peijin's heart was puzzled.
After the Wang family quieted down, Xia Qingluan and Chu Peixuan also followed with a few words of persuasion, and the He family took the opportunity to persuade again, so the Wang family got up and went to the old lady's Chunhui Hall with them. In any case, the old lady should be informed about this matter.
The old lady of Xia Mansion, Jiang's face is really not very good-looking at this time. Seeing that it will be the old lady's birthday in a few days, this year her eldest granddaughter Xia Guifei begged for grace to come back to celebrate the old man's birthday, what a happy event, but at this juncture, the house is actually water!
