Wen Yi quickly supported the Jiang family, and was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, aunt, we are just watching the fire from a distance, what the truth is, we still don't know, it's better to send someone over to take a look, thinking that there are so many girls and mothers-in-law waiting around the sixth sister, they must have escaped." ”

Jiang Shi stabilized his mind and said breathlessly: "You are right...... Come...... Someone's coming," but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice couldn't be louder. Wen Yi hurriedly shouted: "Come on, someone" The frightened girls outside heard it, and a clever one hurriedly ran over and said, "Madam, Miss's yard is out of water."

Everyone knows this kind of thing, Wen Yi saw that Jiang's breathing became tighter, and hurriedly asked the girl: "Can Miss Six be rescued?" What is the fire really like? Can the housekeeper take someone to put out the fire? ”

The girl was speechless for a while, squeaking and squeaking: "The slave has been waiting in this courtyard, and I don't know it, I think the housekeeper should have ......."

"Then hurry up and explore" Jiang Shi finally breathed smoothly, and shouted at the girl, who shivered, and hurriedly responded, and was knocked right at the gate of the courtyard, and it was the big girl next to Wen Hui who stepped on the snow.

I saw that Treading Xue's hair was messy, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was still black and gray, but he was washed away by tears, and the clothes on his body were also in a mess, and the whole person stumbled in, and I don't know where the strength came from, I actually knocked the girl who rushed out away, but as if she didn't notice it, she only stumbled a few steps, looked up and saw Jiang Shi and Wen Yi standing on the steps, and immediately rushed over, and fell to the ground with a plop...... Miss ......"

Jiang's eyes were red, and he grabbed her arms suddenly: "How is Miss?" ”

"The young lady has been rescued, and a piece of hair has been burned, but the person is safe."

As soon as Jiang's whole body was loosened, he was almost about to fall backwards immediately, Wen Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and comforted: "Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the sixth sister is safe and sound, which is the greatest luck. ”

Jiang Shi smiled weakly and nodded: "You said very much. Holding Wen Yi's hand, he stabilized his breath a little, calmed down, and then asked Taxue: "Where is Miss now?" How bad is the fire? Wen Yi asked next to her, "But someone is injured?" Burned out something? How did the fire start? ”

Treading Xue didn't know why, he looked hesitant, and said in a squeak: "The fire started from the main house, Miss is now in the South House, everything is fine, there is no shortage of people around, the things in the house are burned, and there are a few boxes of clothes for Miss, no one is injured......"

Burned up from the main house? Wen Yi had doubts in her heart: "It's still daylight, and the weather is not cold enough to burn a charcoal basin, how can there be a fire in the house for no reason?" ”

Taxue glanced at Wen Yi with pleading eyes, then lowered her head and stopped talking. Wen Yi chuckled in her heart, and knew that there was an article in it.

Caring for women, Jiang couldn't bear it, and asked repeatedly: "Why are you dumb?" Tell me, how did the fire start? Did you wait carelessly, thinking that the young lady was not as good as in the past in front of the old lady and the master, so you slackened off? When he asked, his eyes were full of fierceness.

The circles under the eyes of the snow were red, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes. She raised her head and glanced at Wen Yi timidly, gritted her teeth, got up and walked to Jiang's side, leaned over and whispered a few words. Her voice was too quiet, Wen Yi only vaguely heard the word "arson", and she didn't have time to show her shock, and there was already a heavy feeling of falling in her hand, but it was Jiang Shi who fell softly.

Wen Yi hurriedly supported her, a little hesitant: "Uh...... Auntie, you ......"

Jiang Shi quickly stabilized his body, glared at Treadxue sharply, and asked in a low voice, "Who is there?" ”

Taxue quickly replied in a low voice: "There are only slaves and maids, Xunmei, and Mother Qian." ”

Jiang's face showed a look of pain: "How could Mother Qian pass?" ”

She was ordered by the old lady to deliver the message, and asked the young lady to make a few more colors of needlework and prepare for the ...... Ready to ......" Treadsnow bit his lip and didn't say any more.

Jiang Shi understood in his heart, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and reluctantly smiled at Wen Yi: "Nine girls, the eldest aunt wants to go over to see how the fire is saved, so I won't send you out, go back and say no to your grandmother for me, and I will personally apologize to her old man when I catch up with Ming'er." ”

Wen Yi nodded with a dry smile: "You are too worried, grandmother won't care." It's all a family, what do you do with these rituals? Sixth sister is important, you hurry up and take a look, don't be frightened, she has been sick for a long time, and it is just right. ”

Jiang's face turned pale and sad, and he nodded, and Wen Yi said goodbye and left.

If this fire was caused by Wen Hui, it would be a scandal, not to mention outsiders, even if it was heard by the clansmen, it would be extremely shameless. Taxue was originally considered to be close to Wen Yi, but it was just a matter of Changfang's face, and she didn't dare to act carelessly. Wen Yi didn't blame them for concealing it, so she just left quickly and joined Mrs. Lu. Old Madam Lu also knew about the water in the west of Shilang's Mansion, but she didn't know that it was Wen Hui's courtyard, and she was also surprised when she heard Wen Yi's words.

She lowered her head and thought about it, and sighed: "Maybe your uncle and grandmother ordered her mother-in-law to spread the word and scare your sixth sister, she is ruthless, but this is too nonsense, put a fire, burn some house objects, burn a little hair, what does it matter?" ”

Wen Yi was also puzzled, but she didn't want to say anything, so she didn't mention it, and the grandparents and grandchildren went home.

In the evening, Liu Dongxing came back from the barracks and asked about the situation in Shilang's Mansion today, Wen Yi mentioned a few words, thought about it, and asked, "Do you know about the prince of Han?" Today, I heard in the house over there that the second uncle pulled the strings and intended to tell the sixth sister to the prince of Han Wang to fill the house. ”

Liu Dongxing frowned: "Why is he?" This man is a well-known bastard, and no one in the capital will marry his daughter to anyone who has some roots. He is the daughter of the Houmen, although the family background is not as beautiful as before, but it is still somewhat decent, because of the tragic death of her daughter, her family has gone to the front of the palace, it is the queen mother who came forward to appease, only to suppress it, but then also broke off contact with the Han Wangfu. When the prince heard that he also regretted it, he fasted seriously for a year and prayed for his deceased wife, but a year later, Princess Han wanted to renew the strings for him, and said that several families did not succeed, so he was annoyed, and simply reverted to his old ways, but it was ten points worse than before. It's just that he didn't get involved in court politics in the first place, and he has been friendly with the prince since he was a child, so he loves to mess around, and he is also on the female sex, and the harm is limited, so outsiders don't care about him. If the Gu family really marries their daughter, it is not a good thing, firstly, it will ruin its reputation, and secondly, it will bury its own flesh and blood in vain, but it will not benefit at all. ”

When Wen Yi heard this, he happened to match the gossip he heard in his previous life, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said: "I said the same thing, the eldest aunt is dying, and the eldest uncle has not made up his mind yet, listening to the tone of the eldest aunt, it seems that he is also unwilling, but the second uncle is urging him tightly." I'm afraid that the eldest uncle will be implicated by the second uncle in the court, and he will be dizzy when he is in a hurry. But this is just wishful thinking on the part of the second uncle, even if he really comes to the door to say, then the prince of Han may not be willing to agree, right? ”

Liu Dongxing shook his head and said, "If you really say it, most of you will agree." Your sixth sister used to be very famous in the capital, everyone was a beauty, she was good at learning, and she knew how to please people, although her reputation was bad now, but there were still many admirers. If it weren't for the concerns of the parents in those people's homes, after Brother Ning made a marriage, there should be many people who went to the Shilang Mansion to propose marriage. According to me, your uncle and aunt don't need to worry, after waiting for another year and a half, no one has mentioned the previous turmoil, and it's still too late to talk about your relatives. Even the prince of Han is willing to fill the house, and there are many people in the capital who are slightly inferior to each other, and there are many gentlemen who are mediocre in appearance, character and talent, and they will not be able to live like that, and it will not damage the dignity of the Gu family. If you really want to talk about it, the daughter of the Shilang family, her status is not so high that she has to climb to the emperor's relatives. ”

Wen Yi opened his mouth and closed his mouth again, thinking that Changfang originally planned to marry Wen Hui to the Guihai Luo family, since even the imperial merchant family was willing, what did it matter to the ordinary official eunuchs? It's just that the Jiang family is unwilling to marry his daughter low, and has always refused to give in, maybe after this incident, she will change her mind? To tell the truth, instead of really marrying the prince of Han, it is better to choose a similar official family to marry as soon as possible.

Although Wen Yi has a lot of grudges against Wen Hui because of the experience in her previous life, she really wants her to watch the other party marry a non-human and end up in a desolate end, and she can't bear it, she would rather the other party marry someone casually, and in the future, like a few aunts, she will wear off all the brilliance of her body in mundane things such as her husband, mother-in-law, concubines, and concubines, and relatives in housework.

After all, Wen Hui's matter is a housework in the long house, and the two of them talked a little bit, and then stopped mentioning it. Wen Yi asked if Liu Dongxing could do things smoothly in the camp today, Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "Naturally, everything is going well, the handover between the military department and the battalion has been completed, but the brothers refuse to let me go, so I have to invite another guest." I said that I had already been invited, how could I still ask for it? They still wouldn't give up, so I agreed to invite them to drink again. You can start preparing at home, the industry under our name, but everything that is around the capital, except for the two places in Shannan Town, the rest should change hands, let's leave Beijing, don't think about coming back after three years, there is no need to keep these fields, so that the second uncle and aunt have a hole to drill. ”

Wen Yi was taken aback: "Do you even want to sell this house and the two Zhuangzi you shared?" ”

Liu Dongxing thought for a while: "This house is left, and it is impossible for the servants in the house to take it away, just bring what they can use, and let them stay to look at the house." The two Zhuangzi, the one in Jingnan will be left, and the other one will be sold. In the southern part of Jingnan, my colleagues in the camp helped take care of it, and it was not far from the camp, so it wouldn't be too troublesome. When we get to the south, let's buy a few more properties in earnest. ”

Wen Yi responded, and asked again: "This year's Halloween is approaching, didn't your brothers make an appointment to make a big gift?" What do you have for you? Don't go wrong. ”

"You can rest assured about this, the thing was prepared by the Luo family, the thread I pulled, a good turquoise carved longevity screen, the bottom of the ebony, and the carver is also a famous jade craftsman, and it has been sent. Brother Luo said that the saint likes things made of turquoise, and he has asked the people in the inner house to check it again and again in advance, and there is no problem before entering it, and it will be fine. As long as something passes through the eyes of the saint and goes directly into the warehouse, no one will mention it again. Nowadays, there are too many such birthday gifts, and it is not rude to be inconspicuous, which is the most suitable. ”

Wen Yi was puzzled: "When did Big Brother Luo tell you about this?" He's back? He smiled again: "I also heard in the mansion over there today that Brother Luo is engaged to Sister Jiang's sister, is it because he is back to Beijing to get married?" ”

Liu Dongxing secretly regretted his words, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo didn't come back, it was because I saw that the time was urgent, and I only heard that I was going to prepare for a birthday gift after the class teacher returned to the court, and I had nowhere to look for anything for a while, so I could only ask the Luo family for help." I heard that Brother Luo went to Dongping Mansion, and I heard from the people in the trading house over there, so I wrote to me to mention this matter. Is he engaged to Miss Jiang? I didn't hear him talk about it, but if so, I had to prepare a congratulatory gift. When is the wedding date? ”

Wen Yi looked at him suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't see it, so he had to reply: "I heard that the marriage date has not yet been decided, I think, maybe it's because Brother Luo is still busy with the affairs of King Zheng's mansion, and Uncle Jiang is involved in it, and the two families probably hope that when things are settled, they can handle the marriage with peace of mind, right?" ”

Liu Dongxing laughed dryly: "Really? Then let's prepare the gift slowly, but we have to be careful. Then we quickly moved on to something else. Wen Yi didn't think much about it, and changed the topic according to his tone.

Two days later, the Li family sent a post over, saying that Li Chunxi's wedding date had been set, and the Fu family was preparing to marry at the end of the year. Wen Yi counted the days, but she didn't have time to participate, so Mrs. Lu said: "This is also helpless, business matters." In this case, let's prepare a few exquisite jewelry and add makeup to Sister Chun. ”

Wen Yi responded with a smile, and ordered Shu Bo to inquire about the famous gold bead shop in Beijing, planning to pick out a few good jewelry for Li Chunxi. As soon as Shu Bo received the order and left, Qiu Guo came in to report that Jiang and Wen Hui had arrived.

Jiang's face was not powdered, his body was just dressed in family clothes, his eyes were red and swollen, and the whole person was weak, as soon as he saw Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi, tears came down.

But Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi didn't care about her, they only stared at Wen Hui.

Wen Hui was wearing the same clothes she wore during the Chongyang Chrysanthemum Banquet that day, from head to toe, she was still meticulously dressed, and she couldn't see that her hair was burned, only a white cloth was covered on the left side of her face, and there was a maroon blood halo oozing from it. But her face was indifferent, as if she didn't care about the situation on her face, and when she saw Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi, she smiled casually as usual, and gave a blessing: "Uncle and grandmother, ninth sister, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?" ”

Wen Yi asked in a trembling voice, "Sixth sister, are you ...... ...... on your face What's going on? ”

Wen Hui touched her face and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a little flesh wound." I can't help it, who told people not to die no matter what? Now that I don't have this face, I guess no one will beat me again, right? ”

Jiang suddenly burst into tears.
