Prologue: In the Firelight

Next Chapter

This night, Lu Yiyao and his family had dinner together and returned to the room early with the maid. After washing up under the service of the maid mother-in-law, Lu Yiyao looked at herself in the dressing mirror boredly, with her eyebrows and red lips without dotting, living up to her as the first beauty in Liucheng.

"Miss, rest early!" It was Lu Yiyao's nurse who spoke, who was once Lu Yiyao's mother, Liu Meiyin's eldest maid, and later married the Lu family's housekeeper, and also became Lu Yiyao's nurse, taking care of Lu Yiyao, "Don't catch a cold, a more revealing young lady!" ”

Listening to the nurse's concerned tone, Lu Yiyao smiled sweetly, "Got it, nurse!" You should go to rest early, too! It is enough to have a green bamboo vigil here. ”

The nurse answered, went out and carried the lantern and went straight back to her yard. Lu Yiyao also instructed the maid to retreat from the door, leaving only the big maid - Cuizhu, "Leave the light in the outhouse for a while, and go to the small room to rest!" Just be alert at night. ”

Cuizhu served her young lady to sleep, extinguished the light in the back room, lowered the curtain, locked the door from the inside, and gradually fell asleep with the faint light.

In the middle of the night, Cuizhu only heard a noise in his ears, someone shook himself vigorously, and was about to lose his temper, but he saw that it was his own young lady's grandmother, and only heard a cry in her voice, "Why are you sleeping outside here, didn't you let you guard Miss?" ”

"The slave is obviously guarding the young lady's boudoir, huh?" Cuizhu's head was blank at the moment, what was going on, how could he come out, rubbing his head, Cuizhu realized what kind of environment he was in, only to see that the originally magnificent Lu Mansion was surrounded by firelight at the moment, reflecting the night like hell, "How can this be?" Miss, what about Miss? ”

"But I want to ask you? You ran out, Miss? "Mama Grandma was scratched by Cuizhu, and she was also anxious.

"I don't know, I don't know!" was originally a half-old little girl, but at this moment she panicked, "Obviously I am accompanying Miss, how could I run out?" Miss, Miss she is still trapped inside, save Miss, go and save Miss. ”

Hearing this, Mama Grandma suddenly collapsed on the ground, and muttered, "It's over, it's over, my miserable young lady!" ”

Cuizhu was also in tears, wanting to rush into the sea of fire, but was forced to retreat by the fire wave, "Mama, where is the lord and the lady?" There must be a way to save Miss! ”

"It's gone, it's gone!" A group of people shuttled back and forth, and Grandma Grandma and Cuizhu stared at the gate, but no one came out. It wasn't until the second half of the night that the fire became more and more ferocious and alarmed the government, so people were sent to drink water to extinguish the fire.

"Alas! Why did you say that this good Lu family suffered such a disaster, Master Lu and Mrs. Lu are well-known good people! There are countless people in Liucheng who have been helped by the Lu family! The passers-by on the side sighed, "This Miss Lu is also well-known for her kindness, and she is like a fairy daughter, and she will be gone if she says no!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" The person next to him continued, "The last time I went back to my house, I was sick and had no money to get medicine, but Miss Lu met her with a kind heart and asked for a doctor." It also helped me find a good job for this cripple so that I could support my family. ”

"How can such a good person suffer such a catastrophe, God really has no eyes!"

"Hey, maybe this Lu family has done something unseemly! God is punishing them! ”

"Wang Er, don't talk nonsense, the Lu family usually helps you a lot, and you are not ashamed to say these heart-piercing words at this moment!"

"I didn't talk nonsense, you know that my brother-in-law is the big catcher of the Yamen, my brother-in-law can say that there is only the old lady of the Lu family in the entire Lu Mansion, the old lady and the old lady and the young lady of the Lu family have an accident, and those hundreds of subordinates have nothing to do!" Wang Ershen said mysteriously, "What's even more mysterious is that Miss Lu's eldest maid said that she was originally in the same room with Miss Lu, but she woke up at the door of Lu's mansion in the middle of the night!" ”

"Wow!" The four of them immediately became lively and chattering.

"Humph! I don't believe it. The young man next to him said in a stalk, "The Lu family has given me such help, and Yu Liucheng has done his best, so I can't do any damnation, but God has no eyes." ”

"Hey, if you don't believe it, forget it!" Wang Er rolled up his sleeves and left with his initialized head.

After this incident, Lufu gradually became a forbidden word for the people of Liucheng, and some people often said that they heard the wandering spirit of the Lu family and his party on the ruins of Lufu, and the truth was not known, and it became more and more mysterious later, and it was also considered to commemorate the Lu family, and the people of Liucheng collectively donated money to build an ancestral hall in the former Lufu. And the keeper of the ancestral hall is the former eldest maid of Miss Lu - Cuizhu. It is said that she never said a word after the burning of Lu Mansion, but silently guarded this ancestral hall and never married.

The only person who usually interacts with her is Lu Yiyao's grandmother, I don't know how many years, Cuizhu's body is declining day by day, when she feels that her time is running out, she finds someone to seal the ancestral hall, and she rolls a coffin to find death, and slowly everyone forgets Lu Fu, forgets the glorious family, the beauty who moved Liucheng - Lu Yiyao.

Later, only the former servants of the Lu Mansion would go to worship around the wall.

The former Lu family, as the first family of Liucheng, held most of the economic lifeline of Liucheng, and after the Lufu Incident, Liucheng's economy was also paralyzed for a time, falling behind step by step, and the prosperity of the past was gone, and it slowly fell silent......

Only the older generation still remembers how fierce the fire was and burned in everyone's heart. The children with good deeds did not listen to the admonition of their families, and secretly climbed into the Lu family ancestral hall from the wall, and were anxious for many relatives, but in the early morning of the next day, all the children were sent out, and each child came out with a high fever, and woke up but did not remember anything, but reflexively had a deep fear of the Lu family ancestral hall.

The Lu family ancestral hall became even more mysterious in the eyes of the people of Liucheng. It has also become a taboo that no one dares to touch.

After a few more years, there are always people who are not afraid of death who want to make a fortune, and they take a fancy to this piece, but they want to move away from the ancestral hall but suddenly get a bad disease, and finally the demolition and relocation ended without a problem. The people of Liucheng said that this was the Lu family punishing those who were disrespectful to him.

Everyone was more afraid of the ancestral hall of Lufu than they once were grateful, and there were fewer and fewer people who came to worship, and in the end, only the grandmother's family persevered, and the grandmother was not at ease, afraid that she would die and no one would go to worship, so that her old lady and young lady were wronged under the nine springs, and set rules for future generations, if those who did not go to worship would be expelled from the house. Therefore, Mama's family did their best to worship, and gradually became the first family in Liucheng over the past hundred years, but it was not as good as the former Lu family, and there was no woman as stunning as Lu Yiyao in the past.

The story of Liucheng continues......
