Chapter 34 Midnight Fire
Li Qiqi looked a little flattered, and her concubine didn't have to cover Xipa when they got married. At this time, her beautiful face became more and more dazzling in the candlelight, forming a satirical contrast with a few wrinkles slightly floating in the corners of Dou Qing'e's eyes.
Li Qi was still hesitating, and Qin Zhi, who was beside her, took the initiative to say, "It's rare for Qing'e's wife to be so polite. It seems that this half month's ceremony to Buddha can really purify people's hearts."
He called himself "Qing'e's wife". He hasn't called himself like this for many years. Dou Qing'e's mouth smiled bitterly. She has done so much for the Qin family. He has never praised it. Now he just sent two hairpins to his new favorite concubine, but he is full of tenderness. This is the man she struggles to monopolize.
"Well, it's not all about the face." After tea, it was naturally Qin Zhi with Li Qi's bridal chamber candles. At this moment, Aunt Liu, who had been aggrieved for a long time, finally couldn't help it. She said to the wedding room with the red word "If she hadn't looked like..."
"Sister Liu," Aunt Chang suddenly stopped her mouth, motioned to Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan sitting aside, and frowned, "The children are still here. Why do you talk about those old things?"
At night, it should have been a very stable time, and it should also be the time when Qin Zhimei opened twice.
But when it was almost three days, a noisy shout crashed into Qin Yunuan's eardrums.
"It's on fire! Begonia Courtyard is on fire! Come and put out the fire!"
When I got a concubine that night, there was a big fire, but I didn't know whether it was man-made or a disaster. Qin Yu sat up warmly, quickly shouted to listen to the snow on duty to take care of Qin Baochuan, pulled up the coat on the hanger and rushed out of the door.
Qin Yunuan saw that Liao's mother had already taken Qin Baochuan out of the room and hurried towards her side. She quickly asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I don't know," Liao's mother looked at the huge firelight in the east, which seemed to illuminate half of the sky. It seemed that the fire was not small.
Man'er Copper also rushed out one after another and put on a warm cloak for Qin Yunuan.
"Oh, my father is also in the Begonia hospital." Qin Yunuan was shocked and rushed out of the courtyard with her skirt.
"Three girls, three girls, everyone is fighting the fire. It's too dangerous for you to go." Liao's mother quickly stopped Qin Yunuan and didn't want her to take the risk.
"If I don't go, it's the real danger," Qin Yunuan turned around and said, "These days, the snow has melted and the air is moist. Usually, we can't even light a firewood. Why did the yard that has just been built suddenly rise up? Mother Liao, do you understand what I mean?"
Liao's mother was stunned. She knew it, but she didn't dare to say it. There is no doubt that this fire is man-made. If it is aimed at the new aunt Li, it can be regarded as several aunts, but if it is implicated in Master Qin, it is rebellious and heinous.
Thinking of the previous few times like walking on thin ice, Qin Yunuan did not dare to take any risks, not only for herself, but also for Baochuan, for Liao's mother and Tong'er Man'er in the yard.
In the Begonia Courtyard, a ten-high fire tongue beat on the tile, dyeing the whole sky red. Even if it was more than ten feet away, Qin Yunuan could feel the attacking heat wave rolling in. His skin seemed to be coated with a layer of red stones. The burning sensation of the cone was so real that he couldn't help but make Qin Yunuan think of it. The fire in the sedan chair in my previous life.
For a moment, Qin Yunuan stepped back a few steps and happened to be helped by a pair of powerful hands.
"Cousin Su?" Qin Yunuan raised his head, and Su Chenghai under the fire seemed to be a towering tree in the sea of flowers. He was solid, calm and calm.
Surrounded by servants who carried buckets to save water from the big tripod that stored water from the well or courtyard gate, Su Chenghai also mostly ran out in a hurry, wearing only a simple white shirt and a wide crane cloak. He saw that although Qin Yunuan was dressed tightly inside, he only wore an autumn cloak outside and frowned.
"How did you come out dressed like this?" Su Chenghai squeezed the corners of his mouth slightly and took off the warm crane cloak with bottom velvet and put it on Qin Yunuan. Looking at Qin Yunuan subconsciously refused, he said in an irrefusistible tone, "Put it on, if you are seriously frozen, Aunt Chang will have to beg you to find good medicine for you."
Qin Yunuan knew that Chang was kind to him, but she didn't expect that Su Chenghai would speak like this, domineering but gentle, which made people irresistible. This feeling was very terrible. Qin Yunuan shrank his hand and tried to calm himself down.
The fire has been roughly controlled, but the fire came suddenly. In addition, Qin Zhi was in a good mood today and hugged the beauty back. As an exception, he asked the doorkeeper's mother-in-law and maids to go back to warm up the soup, so that the fire had been burned out of the window before being discovered.
Qin Zhi and Li Qi, who entered the door with the new door, rested in the side hall of Cuixuan Courtyard, and the people were busy going in and out of the charcoal fire and adding incense burners.
"Ok, okay, you don't have to work. Go down." When such a thing happened, Qin Zhi was very depressed.
The eyes of the little maid's head flashed: "It was the lady who told the maidservants. She said that the maidservants should serve them well. Aunt Li is delicate and the charcoal is about to be burned. The master loves sandalwood and the incense burner should be put away. In addition, the wife said that she has now sent someone to clean up the yard again, and she can let Aunt Li immediately. Move there. As for the cause of the fire, she will wait until the fire is completely extinguished and cooperate with the master to investigate thoroughly.
Qin Zhi's heart moved slightly after hearing this. Dou Qing'e's arrangement was considerate and not organized, calm and timely. After all, she has been the mother of the family for many years. Only at the critical moment can she have such thoughts and courage.
"Tell your wife how hard she will work in the future." Qin Zhi's words were simple, but the meaning of the words could not be understood. It was not far from the day when Dou Qing'e returned to power.
When Qin Zhi said this, he happened to be heard by Qin Yu Nuan who walked outside the door. As soon as he looked up, he saw Dou Qing'e wearing a Mulan green embroidered satin, which was extremely elegant, with an emerald hairpin on her head. The thin willow eyebrows were not anxious because of the ban for half a month, but stretched out more and more. .
"Mother." Qin Yunuan took the initiative to salute. She heard the words in the room clearly. In the past, Dou Qing'e, who was domineering, turned into a generous mother. She didn't believe that Dou Qing'e really changed her character. Dou Qing'e was born in Hangzhou. The Dou family has been an official for generations and is quite famous. Dou Qing'e is also the third lady of the Dou family. She has been spoiled since she was a child and used to it. The house is plotting. If she is willing to swallow her anger and restrain her temperament for Qin, only ghosts will believe it.
Dou Qing'e's tone was gentle and pale, and she nodded back. There was no more intersection, and several people entered the room one after another.
After saluteing, Qin Yun makeup, who had taken off the veil and showed his good face, came up with tears in his eyes: "Father, aren't you frightened, father? I'm worried about the dead cloud makeup.
Qin Zhi pulled out a salty smile: "D. Dr. Chen has seen it, and it's okay, but it's okay..." He looked back at Li Yu, who was sitting beside him, but found that a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in Li Yu's eyes, which was originally delicate and silent. A slim hand subconsciously covered the corners of his lips and pleasing her. Looking at him, Qin Zhi saw Su Chenghai, who was preparing to enter the room. One was a beautiful girl at the age of 18, and the other was an elegant young man. Qin Zhi clenched his fists on his mouth and coughed a few times dryly, which made Li Qi, who was a little disappointed, come to her senses. "Qi, the doctor said that you are still shocked and need to rest well. What's the important thing in that room that makes you run out of the room and desperately want to go in?
Li Qi is only wearing a white lining inside at this moment, and a cloud goose pattern on the outside. It can be seen that she ran out in a panic, but there are burnt marks on her hair and skirt, and there are still ashes hidden in her nails. Compared with Qin, although she is haggard but white, Li Yu He looks a little embarrassed.
"Is there anything important in the house?" Qin Yunuan naturally noticed Li Qi's eyes on Su Chenghai, "If there is any jewelry, you can tell the maids to pay attention. Maybe it's not burned, but it's still there."
"No need," Li Qi refused Qin Yunuan's kindness and slowly looked gloomy. "It's just a worthless dress."
People frequently came to report the situation in the Begonia Courtyard, and the maids were also busy adding tea to the masters. Su Chenghai naturally sat next to Qin Yunuan. At this time, Qin Yunuan had already exchanged Su Chenghai's crane to him to avoid leaving people's words. Qin Yunuan, who was originally thinly dressed, trembled slightly, but the brazier was also separated. Far away, I can only endure it for a while.
"Give." Su Chenghai handed the freshly made hot tea to Qin Yunuan's hand, and then brought the tea Qin Yunuan used to warm his hands in front of him, lifted it to his mouth, and threatened to drink it.
"It's already cold." Qin Yunuan whispered and wanted to stop it.
Su Chenghai squeezed his mouth and smiled and only said, "I like to drink cold."
"Sir, the other side of the Begonia Courtyard has been found out. The bedroom has been completely burned, and the other two ear rooms can be remedied. In addition," the old housekeeper who came to report the news glanced at Li Qi and bowed his head and said, "As for the wedding dress that Aunt Li asked the little one to rescue, it should have been completely burned."
Li Qiqi looked stunned and waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a dress."
Qin said in a quiet tone, "It's just a dress. If you like it, I'll invite the people of Yumanxiuzhuang to come over tomorrow and make one for you in spring, summer, autumn and winter?"
Qin's doting of Li Qi has already brightly stinged Dou Qing'e's eyes, but she still maintains a broad and generous appearance, and even took over: "How can four clothes be enough? Now Sister Li is from our Qin family and is so delicate. Let me say, make three sets of each in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It happens to be my room. There are also silk and satin brought by my brother from the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, the color is too gorgeous. I wear it, which is nondescript. My sister wears it, which makes people more energetic.
Seeing that Qin Zhi was very satisfied with Dou Qing'e's current attitude and nodded, Qin Yunuan's heart was even tighter. If Dou Qing'e was willing to come to open the gun and knife, it would be like the previous several times, but if Dou Qing'e was still the same as today, there would be no needle in the future, but there would be no such It's not easy to deal with.
While talking, people gradually arrived. Even Qin Baochuan was taken over by Liao's mother. Maybe he had already slept late because of crazy practice. At this time, Qin Baochuan was so tired that he lay in Liao's mother's arms and his eyes were sleepy.
"Baochuan practiced late last night and was a little sleepy." Qin Yunuan explained to Qin Baochuan, but she understood that in Qin Zhi's heart, her hatred for Qin Baochuan was definitely more than he showed.
But the only people in the room are Aunt Liu and Aunt Chang, the housekeeper.
