Chapter Ninety-Five: The Idler Hero (Part II)
Ying ripped open my sleeve and pulled out the broken thread, "Second girl, bring the needle and thread." also said that the clothes ordered outside were good, and they only wore them for a few days before they spoke, and they were not as strong as what the second daughter made for you. ”
"Of course, I don't sew as carefully as I am, I'm afraid that you two will be tired," I took off my coat and threw it to Ying, "I'm afraid that few ladies are willing to use needlework, you are a tired life, and you don't learn to enjoy the happiness of others." ”
"No, the more identity of the needlework, the better, Princess Lanling's veil is embroidered by others, the concubine is not so good at craftsmanship, and it can't be embroidered after depicting it." Ying dipped her saliva and wet the thread, tied a knot lightly, and glanced at me flexibly with her eyes: "Speaking of the princess, I haven't been here for a few days, and the concubine misses her, and the husband is also worried, right?" ”
As soon as the second daughter heard the mention of Lanling, the monkey leaned on Ying, pulled the work in Ying's hand and did it, looking like she was on the same front as Ying.
"Go, go, kids, play!" was looked at by the two women on the opposite side, and dug in his heart, and cheekily pulled the second daughter into the kang.
"Don't go." Ying took the second daughter into her arms and glanced at me with a smile, "Although the girl is a little smaller, she is also the mother-in-law of her husband, why did she drive her away." I'm mending your husband's clothes, what a virtuous woman, where can I find it? As he spoke, he touched the second daughter's chin, "In another half a year, I'm afraid that I will be more handsome than the Lanling Duke." ”
The second daughter blushed, lost her needle and thread, and threw her head on Ying's body, twisting her body around.
"Careful!" I quickly pinched the thread and needle and put them in the basket, "It's no joke to stab someone." Why doesn't this light turn on, it's easy to damage your eyes like this, so I'll go down and carry a wax table. You two play first, and I'll go to a thatched house by the way. After speaking, he wanted to slip out, and stretched out his foot to probe his shoes under the kang.
"Giggles," Ying hugged the second daughter and laughed, "As soon as you ask, you will diverge, if you don't hide in the thatched house, sit back quickly, just don't ask, look at the husband." Reach out and drag me back," joked, husband, don't take it seriously. The concubine is not a jealous Mrs. Fang, what are you afraid of? ”
"Vinegar? Mrs. Fang? I was puzzled and asked, "What allusion?" ”
Ying patted her second daughter, who looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong commended the important minister Fang Xuanling for his merits in assisting the country, and specially gave two beauties to replace Mrs. Fang. Fang Xuanling didn't dare to refuse, and reasoned that his wife was so hot and temperamental that he didn't allow it. The emperor asked Mrs. Fang to choose between "agreeing" and "giving drink to commit suicide", and did not want Mrs. Fang to be loyal and martyrful, so she actually held a pot to drink, but it turned out to be a pot of old vinegar. Laughing as she spoke, "The concubine doesn't have the ability of Mrs. Fang, and the matter between the husband and Princess Lanling is over, and it can't be true anyway, but she is the eldest princess." ”
After growing knowledge, the second daughter fortunately does not have the bloodline of the Fang family. When Ying said this, he felt a loss in his heart, so he turned around and hugged Ying and the second daughter in his arms, unable to speak.
"It's hot, why don't you sew clothes quickly!" Ying leaned on me for a while, maybe she felt a little dull, and pushed the second daughter to work, "Don't worry about it, husband, just talk nonsense as a concubine." In a few days, I remember to invite back the new big seal issued by the imperial court, and the concubine has a seal for the first time. ”
was hugging Ying to speak, the maid outside called the door, and the housekeeper had something to look for.
"What's wrong?" I put on a dress and ran out, and when I saw the housekeeper splitting my head, I asked, "Students from other places are making trouble again?" ”
"The Yun family's Zhuangzi is on fire, do you want to send some people from our house to put out the fire?" The housekeeper was ashamed of what I said, and said, "Originally, it was not our turn to go to our family, but the old man just let the little marquis know about it." ”
"What are you doing? Call someone to put out the fire! "As soon as I heard about the fire, I immediately became anxious, this season is dry, once the fire starts, it will be troublesome, and it is a big crime not to save the fire, "Call me the miscellaneous servants in the house, and all the men will go with me to put out the fire!" ”
"Wait!" Ying also came out after packing up, "Uncle Qian will go and gather people first." After sending the money housekeeper, Ying pulled me aside, "Don't go too early, pinch the time to pass, let the fire burn just right." Our family will smoothly take down the territory of the Yun family. ”
"Nonsense!" Although Ying has plans for her family, there is a conflict between her principle of not saving her when she sees death, "You don't care, stay at home, and I'll take someone over." ”
"Don't go, husband!" Ying held me and didn't let go, "Just go to the next person, you are not allowed to go!" ”
"Go away! Boon! I threw Ying and rushed to the yard quickly, shouting: "The pots and pans are ready, you two go to the Zhuangzi to call people, and hurry up to put out the fire." Seeing Ying also came out, she picked her up and threw her to the back house, closed the door and locked it, "Stay at home, I'll be back soon, don't worry!" ”
When I rushed to the courtyard of the Yun family with people, the fire was raging, and it was the back house that caught fire and was spreading to the front yard. The people on the Yunjia Zhuangzi are in a mess without a command, the firefighters, the fleeing, and some female relatives crying and shouting, depending on the situation, they may have died.
I hurriedly asked the people I brought to line up, and pulled back the two poles that were about to go in to save people, "Listen to the command!" Those who dare to rush in to save people are tied up! I saw a woman shouting at the door for her parents, trying to break free from everyone's pull and pounce into the yard, "Uncle Qian!" Tell someone to tie up this girl and throw her on the wagon! Don't make a fuss here! He turned around and ordered: "Arrange up, remove everything that can be burned around the yard, and line up to hand water in." Hurry up! He grabbed a subordinate of the Yun family who was passing by with a basin of water and asked, "Have you reported to the official?" ”
"Reported." The man was scared by the water I was scared and splashed on the ground.
"Is there anyone else in there?"
"The master is inside, I'm afraid it's ......," said the man, who howled dryly, and rushed in with half a basin of water.
At this time, the farmers from the Zhuangzi also arrived, and I organized them into several long lines to carry water, and delivered containers full of water to the inside in an orderly manner. The people of the Yun family gradually calmed down, and began to extinguish the fire as we did, and hundreds of people formed nine fire-fighting dragons, and finally controlled the spreading fire.
"Why are you here?" Seeing that the fire was slowing down, I breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and suddenly found Ying standing behind me, "Add to the chaos!" Uncle Qian! Tie up the lady and throw her in the carriage! ”
"Who dare!" Ying's sharp voice frightened me and a few subordinates for a while, and Ying stood next to me and said softly: "The concubine is standing behind her husband, so you don't have trouble." Seeing that the husband is steady, don't drive the concubine away. ”
"Okay, don't run around!" I pulled Ying to stand behind me, and shouted at everyone to knock down a large piece of wood in a wing room that was about to collapse, and made an open space so that the firefighting team could move forward a lot.
By the time the government sent someone to arrive, the fire had been basically controlled, and the back house was still burning badly, but it would not spread to other places. I'm afraid that the Yun family's back house can't be wanted, but the structure of the entire courtyard has not been fatally damaged, and it is indispensable to renovate it with a large amount of money.
The equipment and experience of the officials to fight the fire played a role, and it did not take long to extinguish the fire in the back house, and it was the middle of the night, and the fire was extinguished, except for dozens of torches, all of them were black, and the search and rescue work could only be carried out during the day. My title is too high, and the official doesn't dare to call me for questioning, so I can only politely invite the money housekeeper away and record the reason. By the way, I took away the woman who was tied to the carriage, the light was too poor, I couldn't see what she looked like, just listening to her call for a long time, and her voice was good.
"Everyone's worked hard!" I bowed my hand to the people in my own Zhuangzi who rushed to put out the fire, "This is thanks to you so that there is no big disaster, and the cost of going home is 100 yuan per person," As soon as the words fell, several villagers who came late hurriedly stood up from the team, saying that they did not participate in the firefighting and were not qualified to take money, and waved at me vigorously. I stepped forward and pushed them into the line, "It's hard work, forget it if you come." All go back with me to get the money. Seeing that Hu's account room was covered in muddy water, he also stood inside, "Mr. Hu, I have to work hard for you when I go back, I'm sorry." ”
"What's the reason, his house is on fire, and our family pays for it." Ying and I walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, full of reluctance, "I heard them say that the old man of the Yun family didn't come out inside." ”
"Little family, you see that his house is burned like this, can you take out the money? Let's not treat our own family badly," the road between the two Zhuangzi is not smooth, and I have a hard time walking, "It's not right for me to be angry with you just now, don't take it to heart, madam." ”
"I didn't go to my heart, my husband likes the concubine like this, and the concubine is not right today, it should be." Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Ying's words were relaxed, "My husband is really heroic today, I haven't seen it before." ”
"Really? Do you admire me? ”
"Well, but next time you are not allowed to leave your concubine and run away alone, you are panicked."
"Listening to Mrs. praise, this time I have all my strength, and I can't sleep at night."
"Be quiet, there's someone in the back."
