Chapter 168: Strange
Xiao Jinyue lowered her eyes and looked at the celadon tea bowl that rolled in front of her, and the smile in her eyes flashed. I was surprised that it wasn't smashed, and it seems that the quality of this bowl is not bad.
When she raised her head again, the smile in her eyes had disappeared, and she exclaimed, "Oh, Mama Gong, although I am the princess, I am not a princess, you don't have to pay such a big respect, so let's get up quickly." ”
Mama Dong was motionless and fell to the ground in a large shape. It's not that she doesn't want to get up, it's that she's already stumbling. She was clearly holding the tray, and walked steadily, neither slipping under her feet, nor trembling on her legs, nor did anyone secretly make her tricks stretch her feet and trip her.
She was pretty sure there was nothing out of the ordinary. But she had only walked a few steps past the threshold when she suddenly felt uncontrollable. It's just that before he could react, the whole person had already snapped and fell heavily in the direction of the princess.
In the hall, when everyone heard Xiao Jinyue's sentence, they were speechless about her cheekiness, but at the same time, they felt that today's events were really weird.
Just now, the maid served the soothing tea twice, The first time she didn't fall, but the tea bowl was smashed, and the second time it was even more strange, the medicine bowl, But in front of everyone's eyes, suddenly exploded.
If the first time was when the maid's hands shook and smashed steadily, the second time was when the bowl was cracked and broken, it would be reasonable. But Mama Gong has been serving Mrs. Tai for most of her life, and she has always been steady, and she is very strong and has no problems.
But just now, under the eyes of everyone, Mama Dong suddenly fell on a big horse.
Mrs. Tai looked at Mama Dong who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, her face was so gloomy that she could drip ink, but she returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but her eyes were full of suspicion.
The change in Mrs. Tai's expression did not escape Xiao Jinyue's eyes, but her heart was also full of suspicions.
The county lord of Chang'an frowned, and said softly, "Mama Gong thought that she was old at the end of the year, and she accompanied Mrs. Tai to walk so far, and she was tired, so she accidentally fell." ”
After looking at Mrs. Tai, whose expression had eased for a while, the county lord of Chang'an turned his head to the maid behind him and said, "Why don't you go and help Mama Gong up." ”
"Yes, ma'am." The two maids bowed and walked quickly towards Mama Gong.
"Mrs., no, no, no......"
Outside the main hall, a rough woman ran over in a panic.
The county lord of Chang'an's face sank, and he frowned and scolded angrily, "Can you speak, Mrs. Tai is sitting here dignifiedly, what are you shouting." ”
The mother-in-law ignored her reprimand, but said to Mrs. Tai who was sitting on the top with a white face and trembling, "Mrs. Tai, the ancestral ...... Ancestral Hall, Walk ...... Gone out of the water. ”
Mrs. Tai's face changed, and she suddenly stood up from her seat, "What did you say?" ”
The mother-in-law swallowed her saliva and said nervously, "The ancestral hall, the ancestral hall, suddenly caught fire......"
This time, everyone heard her words clearly, but at the same time, their expressions changed.
Everyone was muttering in their hearts, why did Mrs. Tai let the princess drink a soothing tea There were accidents one after another, and now the ancestral hall is even more inexplicable and suddenly on fire.
Today's incident, no matter how you look at it, there is a strange feeling.
"Quick, go check ......"
Hearing that the ancestral hall was on fire, Mrs. Tai didn't care about letting Xiao Jinyue drink any calming tea, held the maid's hand, walked out of the Songhe Hall quickly, and hurried towards the ancestral hall.
Seeing that Mrs. Tai was gone, the lord of Chang'an County also hurriedly followed with the maid.
The second lady and the third lady glanced at each other, did not hesitate, and also chased after the maid and the maid.
The water in the ancestral hall was a big deal, and several girls looked worried, and they hurriedly ran behind the ladies with the people waiting around them.
But in the blink of an eye, the huge main hall of the Songhe Hall, Hulala was gone, and only Xiao Jinyue was still standing inside.
Looking around, the entire hall was quiet, and there was no figure of Chi Yan on the beams.
Xiao Jinyue frowned, just now she was afraid that someone would find out about Chi Yan's existence, so she didn't dare to look at the beam, and she didn't pay attention to when Chi Yan left.
It's good, and I don't know why the ancestral hall suddenly went to water.
Everyone was gone, Xiao Jinyue wanted to go back to Shi'an Garden, but after hesitating, she still turned around and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
As the princess of the Zhenguo Mansion, there is such a big thing in the ancestral hall, if she doesn't go over to take a look, it seems a little unreasonable.
As soon as I walked out of Songhe Hall, I was met by ginkgo and fennel running over in a hurry.
It turned out that Bai Guo was waiting outside the door of the main hall of Songhe Hall just now, and saw that the maid smashed the bowl twice, and Mrs. Tai insisted on letting Xiao Jinyue drink a bowl of soothing tea.
Who knew that she had only walked halfway, and happened to meet fennel who was rushing to Songhe Hall, and after asking, she knew that the prince heard that the ancestral hall was on fire, and he had already rushed to the ancestral hall in a hurry.
Afraid that something would happen to Xiao Jinyue, Bai Guo had no choice but to hurry back to Songhe Hall with fennel.
rushed to the ancestral hall with two maids, Xiao Jinyue saw a bunch of maids and maids in front of the ancestral hall from a distance, carrying buckets and hurriedly running to the ancestral hall.
The fire started in the wing room on the side of the ancestral hall, and the guards, under the command of Lu Chengting, were methodically taking the bucket brought by the maid and splashing it on the location of the fire.
Lu Chengting was sitting on the foot bowl and directing people to put out the fire, originally he was in Shi'an Garden, and he didn't see Xiao Jinyue come back for a long time, and he was worried that something would happen to her, but now he saw her standing not far away, and his hanging heart finally fell.
Xiao Jinyue looked at the location of the fire, and wondered in her heart, it is said that the ancestral hall has always been guarded, and there should be no fire, and this is not the main hall for incense, but an empty side room, which feels a little strange no matter how you look at it.
Fortunately, there was no wind today, and the mother-in-law guarding the ancestral hall found out relatively early, and the screams attracted the guards in the house, and there were many people who rushed over when they heard the news, and everyone worked together to extinguish the fire in a short time.
Mrs. Tai calmly faced, took the maid's hand and walked a few steps forward, and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on, how can the ancestral hall suddenly catch fire?" ”
As soon as Mrs. Tai's words fell, no one expected that a loud thunderous "click" sound suddenly sounded in the sky without warning.
Everyone was taken aback by this thunderbolt.
Before he could react, the second master's angry shouts suddenly came from his back.
"What's the matter, why was the ancestral hall burned?"
Xiao Jinyue turned his head with everyone, the second and third masters, as well as several young masters in the mansion, were looking at the blackened ancestral hall in front of them with a look of anger.
It turned out that they had gone out early in the morning and were not in the house, and on the way back, they saw a fire in the direction of the Zhenguo Mansion from a distance, and they were startled and hurried back.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
As if in response to the second master's words, there was a sudden crackling sound in the ancestral hall.
Everyone turned their heads again, and through the gate, everyone was shocked to find that the ancestral tablets that were originally densely placed on the table were now all falling forward.
In front of the tablet that fell, it was really the Queen Mother's decree on marriage.
