Chapter 019 Arson
Knowing that her son had been accompanying Zhang Hanqiu, and the two were still eating together, Wu was relieved. It was rare that she indulged her son to get close to Zhang Hanqiu, and her mind shifted to the meeting with Mrs. Qi tomorrow.
You must pay attention to your attitude. You can't be looked down on by your mother-in-law before your daughter enters the door.
He calculated his dowry again, and only felt that it was pitifully less than Xia Wei's.
sighed, and his unwillingness went up again.
Thinking that Zhang Hanqiu has always been close to Jiabao, Wu's eyes lit up. If he can't plan for his daughter, it's good to leave it for his son!
Yes, that's good. When the matter is settled...
Fumiru found another way, the corners of Wu's lips rose, and his irritable mood was all gone.
From beginning to end, all she thought about was how to get Xia Wei's dowry. If she just wanted to marry her daughter, it would not be Zhang Hanqiu who would marry Qi Zhensheng at the beginning.
Such a promising child, she didn't want to give it to Zhang Hanqiu.
It's good now. My daughter has a good match. After experiencing this experience, Zhang Hanqiu can't find a better one than Qi Zhensheng. It's impossible to live a better life than Qiao'er. If she plans well, she may be able to deduct all her things...
The more I thought about Wu, the more beautiful she felt. She turned over again, looked at the sleeping man beside her, and fell asleep for a while.
"It's almost time. Do it according to the plan." The weather in March was still a little cold at night. Zhang Hanqiu wore a well-moving coat. After thinking about it, he still took a big coat in his hand for a rainy day.
Ru Niang and A Jiu were a little nervous, but their expression did not waver.
"Miss, remember to stay away later." Ru Niang subconsciously touched her clothes. She sewed the silver ticket in her and the lady's clothes with waterproof oil paper. Even if it rained, she was not afraid. She only brought a few small pieces and some scattered silver on her body.
"I know it in my heart."
Open the door, and the three of them gently came to the east room.
No one comes in here on weekdays, and the tung oil sent by Xia Jing put the big thorns aside.
Thinking of burning all these things, your mother is so distressed. This is your wife's dowry!
Every thing was made of good materials. She overheard the waiter beside the old lady say that not long after the wife was born, the old man began to prepare. The young man of the Xia family really cares about his wife.
No matter how good it is, they can't take anything with them. If they stay, it will be cheaper for the Zhang family. Instead of this, it's better to burn it.
"Miss, you can see, here we come." A bucket of tung oil is not light. Your mother is not willing to let the young lady pick it up. She pulled the person behind her and stood, and called A Jiu to start working.
Xia Jing didn't know what his nephew wanted Tongyou to do, and he sent a lot.
"Go and spill my room."
Ru Niang paused and walked out with a bucket in her hand silently.
Ajiu helped deliver two more buckets and drenched the rest on a room of things.
"Miss, all right."
Zhang Hanqiu stood at the door and took a look at the room where he had lived for 13 years. There was nothing left after the fire. He didn't have to worry about his things being disgusted. That's all right.
"Light up the fire."
Ru Niang and A Jiu took a fire fold, and soon, the fire soared to the sky.
"Let's go of the water... Come on, let's go of the water..."
Your mother's voice is shrill in the dark.
Zhang Hanqiu stood in an inconspicuous corner, watched the mother and daughter running out in untidy clothes living in the west room, and ran out with a loud scream.
A Jiu silently took the big cloak in the young lady's hand and put it on her, covering her clothes that were too neat and neat.
The rapid and messy footsteps came from far and near, and the subordinates of the Zhang family ran over with buckets one after another. When they saw the fire in front of them, they were so scared that they stood there and dared not move.
Seeing this, the housekeeper who came later naturally knew that there was probably nothing left in the room after the fire was put out, but they were still saved by the fire, and they could not set up the whole Zhangfu.
"What are you all doing? Why don't you go to put out the fire quickly? Where's the young lady? Who of you has seen the young lady?"
"I'm here. Don't worry about me. Go and put out the fire."
Seeing that the young lady was fine, the housekeeper felt a lot of peace of mind. For a moment, he didn't have time to think about what was wrong with the young lady. He shouted and asked everyone to act quickly. He went to the main room to report the matter.
This is the time when Zhang Hanqiu is waiting.
With her understanding of the couple, as long as she knows that she is safe and sound, she will not think of going anywhere else, let alone come to this dangerous place.
The three of them quickly walked to the back door.
This is a place for servants to go in and out. There are many rules for the Zhang family. Usually, there is a special sruin-in-law to take care of this place, and it has been locked for a long time.
In a few months, Ru Niang had long thought of a way to match the key. As long as the doorkeeper was transferred, the problem would be solved.
"Miss, you squat here for aggrieved."
Zhang Hanqiu was so nervous that he didn't want to show his bottom in front of the two servants who saved his life for himself. He tightly pinched the tiger's mouth and nodded, "There's not much time, hurry up."
"Yes."
Your mother is also nervous, and she has seen sweat on her forehead.
He pinched his thigh hard and quickly walked to the caretator who was sleepy and woken up by the noise.
"Mother Wang, wake up quickly. There is water in the young lady's yard, and the housekeeper called everyone to help."
Mrs. Wang got up quickly, took two steps forward and stopped. She turned around and looked at her doubtfully, "There is a fire in the young lady's yard. Why do you still have time to inform me if you don't take care of the young lady?"
"I wanted to accompany the young lady, but the fire was too big. The housekeeper gave me a sign of Zhangfu and asked me to go to the street to find an official to help put out the fire. Isn't it on the way? The housekeeper asked me to tell you by the way.
Mrs. Wang suddenly touched the key in her arms and walked out to the back door and laughed and scolded, "Since you're going out, why don't you say it? I'm going to leave like this to see how you get out of this door. Miss can't save you."
"I'm confused." With a pat on her forehead, Ru Niang smiled bitterly, and the cold sweat on it seemed to explain her anxiety even more.
"All right, go quickly, so that I can lock the door. You and the official will enter through the front door together later."
"My feet are numb. Let me slow down first. Why don't you go there first? Don't you usually take turns with Qin's mother? Anyway, I don't have to sleep tonight. Just wake her up and ask her to come and close the door later.
Looking at the fire over there, Mrs. Wang nodded, "Ok, I'll call her. Hurry up, but you can't let the fire ignite the whole Zhang family."
"Go, go."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang turned the corner and didn't need your mother to call her, Zhang Hanqiu held A Jiu's hand and got up. The three of them went out smoothly without even using the keys they had prepared.
Zhang Hanqiu walked far away and didn't look back. He didn't care, and it was because he was cold-hearted.
Wuyang City has been very peaceful recently, and the curfew is useless. The officers and soldiers who patrol the night rarely patrol outside, especially on this cold day. It is very comfortable to find a place to drink a little wine and block a little money.
If he hadn't known the situation, Zhang Hanqiu wouldn't have been so patient before his second uncle came.
It was foggy in the dark night, and they couldn't see anyone when they were a little far away, adding another layer of protection to them.
The three of them walked forward in silence.
As early as she realized that the young lady was going, she booked a room in the inn closest to the city gate, and gave Xiao Er some more money to let him wait for a while every night.
With money, things are going well.
After walking in fear for a quarter of an hour, the three of them stopped at the same time. This was the sound of horses' hoofs...
They didn't dare to take the path for fear of an accident. They chose the main road. Zhang Hanqiu looked around and ran to the shadows on the steps of the shop, and the other two hurried to follow.
It was not until they watched the carriage go far away that the three of them put their hearts back into their stomachs.
I wiped my forehead, and it was all sweaty.
"How far is it?"
Ru Niang walked down the steps and looked at the name of the shop. "It's right in front, Miss, thank you for your hard work. Let's hurry up."
She almost jumped out of her heart all the way. She was afraid of any accident. Even if she met a drunk, it was enough for them. Fortunately, it was safe all the way.
Your mother didn't dare to put the fear in her heart into her mouth. Zhang Hanqiu saw that her hair on her forehead was wet. How could she not understand her worries? She couldn't say thank you. At this time, she could only nod hard and reply with a word of kindness.
The second child of the returning inn sat at the table and doze off. After falling on the table again and kowtowed to his forehead, he finally woke up.
"You won't come tonight, will you?" After reading a sentence and muttering, he thought of the generous woman, and the shopkeeper decided to wait a little longer.
Just sleep less every day and wait for the first half of the night, the man gave him five taels of silver, which was almost his three months' salary. Wait a little more to be worthy of the five taels of silver.
After comforting himself like this, Xiao Er decided to wash his cold face.
As soon as he got up, the door was knocked.
Xiao Er's eyes lit up and hurried over to open the door. When he saw the person he was really waiting for, he smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you. Please come in quickly."
Ru Niang nodded to him and helped the young lady into the door.
When I went out in the middle of the night, I was nervous. Who still remembers to wear a hat?
The shopkeeper looked tender, and the young lady with exquisite eyebrows and luxurious clothes, who was obviously a noble lady, was stunned.
"What are you looking at?" Ah Jiu stopped in front of the young lady. She was a little taller than the young lady and just blocked all the sight.
"Small offense, small offense, guests, please come in quickly." Xiao Er hurriedly lowered his head, remembering that the door was still open, and hurriedly bypassed the three people to close it.
"Bever us to the room."
"Yes."
Taking the person to the second floor, Xiao Er explained in a low voice, "You didn't say that you wanted a few rooms at that time. The small one was only prepared. Look..."
"One room is enough, and we still need some hot water."
"The little one has been ready for a long time. I'm going to get it now."
The second child came quickly, and your mother picked it up at the door, "Ajiu, you take it to wait for the young lady to wash. Miss, while there is still time, you can rest for a while, and the old slave and the second brother will say something."
"Um, don't say it's too late. You have to take a break."
"Yes, old slaves can save it."
The voice was so beautiful, just like an thul. The shopkeeper secretly thought in his heart.
