Chapter 27 Three souls and seven spirits scare most of them away!

"Ouch, mother, it's on fire! Go home, Zhuzhu wants to go home!"

Naituanzi hugged her mother's neck tightly, her chubby little body trembling all the time.

Yang Lihua was so distressed that she hugged her daughter in her arms and patted her gently.

"Zhuzhu, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Mom is here, she is protecting you!"

Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye were also surrounded by one side, and they didn't know how to help even though they tied their hands.

"Zhu Zhu has arrived, call Hun Er!"

"I guess it's sleeping hair! Zhuzhu, the third uncle is here, and I'm making money soon. The third uncle will buy you delicious food, don't cry, don't cry!"

It's a pity that Zhuzhu, who is usually well-behaved, couldn't be coaxed well. The teardrops in her big eyes fell in pairs, and she kept yelling and bursting into flames.

Tai Jizu came forward, wanting to help his wife change hands and hold her daughter for a while.

But Zhuzhu stretched out her chubby hand and kept waving it over his head!
Why is Daddy's head turning gray again!

Don't, don't!
Don't let daddy be unlucky!

Hurry up and go away!

Nai Tuanzi worked hard, but her anger could not dissipate, so she cried even harder.

Tai Jizu put his head under his daughter's hands, wishing that her daughter would be happy immediately.

But when he clapped his fleshy little hand on his head, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The last time my daughter cried like this, he fell from the tree.

this time……

Could it be that the house is on fire? !

He was concerned at that time and was just about to suggest that he go home and have a look.

As a result, the girl shouted again, "It's on fire, it burned a lot of trees and flowers!"

Trees and flowers?
There are no trees or flowers in the dilapidated courtyard. Could it be...

Tai Jizu raised his head suddenly, meeting Yang Lihua's eyes.

The couple had a tacit understanding and guessed a possibility at the same time!
"Hurry and take a look in the garden. If there is a fire, we will be in trouble!" Yang Lihua backed away from her husband.

Tai Jizu easily took away his confused brother and went straight to the garden.

The Min family had unexpectedly many guests today, and the number of servants was not enough.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye walked all the way into the garden without anyone stopping them.

The two of them looked at the lotus pond in the distance, and there were many guests playing, so they quietly walked around the edge of the garden, looking at the ice lanterns that were placed in a relatively remote place.

Coincidentally, Manager Min happened to be leading someone to deliver hot tea. When he saw the two brothers, he followed him and asked, "Why are you out? Our master cannot see you until the banquet is over..."

Tai Jiye quickly smiled and said, "Brother Min, we can't stay idle in the house, just thinking that your house is so busy, why don't we help you too.

"But it's the first time we've seen such a big scene, and we're afraid that it won't help us. We simply come to the garden to have a look. If any ice lantern goes out, or is blown crooked by the wind, we'll clean it up quickly."

Manager Min was happy to hear that, and he was even more satisfied when he saw that they were indeed walking aside, looking cautious and honest.

Thinking that there is nothing else to do right now, he said, "Just now I really saw that the ice lantern in the southeast corner has gone out, let's go and have a look."

The three of them were talking and laughing as they walked all the way. Before they got closer, they noticed that the light seemed a bit bright.

Guanshi Min rushed over a few steps ahead, and then shouted, "Come and put out the fire!"

Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye came here just for this, without any hesitation, they took off their cotton jackets and joined in.

The ice lantern here was a crane guiding the way. The small lantern hanging from the crane's beak fell to the ground, igniting the grass and shrubs, and was about to burn the big tree not far away.

The three of them beat them with cotton jackets, covered them with snow, and spent a lot of effort trying to extinguish all the sparks. They looked at each other at last, and their legs were weak from fear.

Although this is a corner of the garden, it has the most flowers, plants and trees, and the north wind is strong. If it wasn't discovered in time, it would probably burn the entire area.

But outside the wall is also the garden of the neighbor next door. In order to block the line of sight, a lot of big trees are planted beside the garden...

Almost, almost burned the whole camp, and even hurt the neighbors!
Guanshi Min wiped his darkened face, and then looked at the two brothers Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye. The cotton jacket was burned with holes, and half of the cotton shoes were burned because of stepping on the fire, which was even more embarrassing.

At this moment, he wished he could recognize these two as brothers.

If they had not come to the garden to check the fire, they would not have discovered the fire, and even if they discovered it, they would not be able to control it.

At that time, he who proposed to the master to arrange the ice lantern will not only have no credit, but will be severely punished. If he loses his errand, it will be a small matter, and he will be completely finished if he is sold out.

"Brother Tai, it's really thanks to you! Thanks to you!"

He grabbed their hands and refused to let go in excitement.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye were also so frightened that most of their three souls and seven souls flew away!

The two of them hadn't come back to their senses yet, so they instinctively treated each other politely.

"It's all as it should be, as it should be."

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence!"

At this moment, a woman next to Mrs. Min sniffed the smoke and came over to take a look.

Manager Min quickly whispered the matter, and the mother-in-law took one look at the Tai brothers and left.

Manager Min didn't dare to neglect any longer, and continued to patrol with Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye.

They waited until the guests had returned home having enjoyed themselves, there were no outsiders in the garden, and the ice lanterns everywhere were turned off. The three of them were really tired, and the soles of their feet were sore from walking.

Mr. Min entertained the guests, enjoyed the lanterns, drank wine, wrote poems and paintings, and enjoyed himself very much.

After seeing off the guests, he didn't go to the concubine's place, but got the main house, praised his wife a few times, and promised to give the two sets of fine jewelry from the south to his wife for hard work, then washed and rested.

Mrs. Min was in a good mood and began to reward people for their merits.

Needless to say, the servants were all given double the monthly silver.

When it was the Tai family's turn, she specially met Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye.

It stands to reason that in such a midnight, she would not easily meet outsiders.

But there was almost a fire in the garden before, and it was the Tai brothers who discovered it and helped put it out.

Otherwise, instead of being praised by her husband, she was scolded head-on and face-to-face.

She had met Yang Lihua before, and the Tai family left a good impression on her.

Now she was even more satisfied when she saw that although Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye were in a mess, they kept their heads bowed respectfully and never glanced at them. They were very polite and well-behaved.

"I heard about what happened in the garden. Thank you both for your help, a disaster was avoided."

Tai Jiye took a step forward, still not looking up, and responded, "Madam, you're welcome, the ice lanterns were made and delivered to us at home, and we have the responsibility to take good care of them.

"Furthermore, your mansion is blessed with profound blessings, and it is blessed by God's will. Even if we didn't meet by chance, we would definitely not be able to burn it."

These words were beautiful, and Mrs. Min felt more at ease when coaxed.

She glanced at Manager Min and said, "A lot of people asked about the ice lantern just now, and they all wanted to decorate some at home. Let Min Chang take you to identify the door tomorrow. Whether you can take over this job depends on your ability." gone."

"Thank you Madam!" Tai Jiye hurriedly thanked, "We will definitely not disappoint Madam's recommendation."

Tai Jizu couldn't speak, but he also saluted, which was more simple and honest.

Mrs. Min nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the old nanny next to her brought a tray covered with a red cloth.
