Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 111 Fire

Yu Xianxin is the daughter of Nan Surou's third cousin. Like Jiang Yuemei, she often stays in Wei Guogong's mansion, but she is very ordinary-looking, fat and low-key, so she is easily overlooked.

Nan Surou doesn't care whether Yu Xianxin doesn't get people's attention.

But Yu Xianxin is an unmarried girl with yellow flowers, and the pork trotters stewed in ginger vinegar...is it for pregnant women?Although people who are not parturients can also eat it, but there is always something wrong with it, Yu Xianxin is very fat, do I need to eat this to make up for it?

Yun Rong continued to talk, completely oblivious to Nan Surou's face that was gradually sinking into thought.

Nan Surou recalled that in her previous life, Mrs. Wei Guo took Yu Xianxin around, looking for many doctors, and then, Mrs. Wei Guo quietly told Nan Surou that Yu Xianxin had eloped with others because of her ignorance. Seeing that she had no money to rely on, her true nature was revealed, so she had to run away. After she came back, Mrs. Wei Guo matched her with a good husband, but she was always worried that Yu Xianxin would not be able to have a child, so she ran around for it. Go west to find a doctor.

Could it be that Yu Xianxin's appearance in Duke Wei's mansion this time was the day after she eloped and escaped?
"Ginger vinegar? Pig trotters?" Nan Surou sneered.

Yunrong was still talking unconsciously at first, but when she heard Nan Surou's voice, she stopped immediately, "Miss, what's wrong with this? The black rice vinegar is very fragrant, and the fragrance overflows after boiling, so The servant girl was attracted by the smell and asked casually, this food is often eaten by many people, it is sweet and sour."

"Really? That black rice vinegar...is a good thing." Nan Surou picked up the teacup and smiled, eyes rolling, said: "Yun Rong, we have to be careful recently."

Yun Rong was stunned again, she didn't understand, how could ginger vinegar bring up a problem, walls have ears, Nan Surou didn't say it clearly, so she didn't ask, but just answered.

The two chatted tacitly, and didn't say anything more about sensitive topics.

Nan Surou took a bath before dinner, and after dinner, the sky became dark, and Yun Rong lit the lamp in the room.

Ever since Nan Surou fell ill once, the servants of Duke Wei's mansion, unless forced to do so, tried to stay away from Nan Surou's house as much as possible.

Nan Surou looked at Yun Rong, and suddenly asked, "Where are the others, what are they doing?"

"Miss, Du Juan said that she went to the kitchen to get some snacks, and Caixin and the others went to have dinner." Yun Rong said.

"What's going on at Xianxin's side?" Nan Surou lowered her eyes.

Yunrong glanced at the open door, and suddenly lowered her voice and said: "This afternoon, the servant girl went to the water room to order to carry the water, and saw Miss Xianxin went to the yard of Nan Peiyan and Nan Chuying, waiting for you to take a bath When it was finished, the servant girl personally ordered someone to carry the water away, and Miss Xianxin came back from there."

"Are you sure?" Nan Surou raised her eyebrows.

Yun Rong nodded and said: "Sure, miss, Miss Xianxinbiao's figure is too different from ordinary people, although she is so low-key that people can ignore it, but as long as you pay attention, you can always see it, miss, are you worrying too much?"

Nan Surou smiled: "Aren't you worrying too much? We have to see how things will develop."

Yun Rong's face became more and more confused.

Nan Surou raised her eyes to look at Yun Rong, and said, "Be careful during this time, we have to prevent something from happening."

Yun Rong's heart skipped a beat. Ever since Nan Surou complained of illness and Mrs. Wang visited again, the Duke of Wei's mansion has been quiet for many days. Could it be that after such a long period of calm, the storm will come during this time?
In the middle of the night, Nan Xiyuan's frenzied screams came from Huachun Courtyard.

There was chaos around the yard, and there were shouts of "fire" coming from the yard, as well as people's running footsteps, and high-pitched screams.

Amidst bursts of discordant sounds, Nan Surou sat quietly on a tree not far away, staring closely at the fire scene not far away in the dark.

Yun Rong squatted beside Nan Surou, holding on to the tree trunk with some fear, she had never climbed to such a high place, and now it was pitch black, for fear of accidentally falling off the tree.

Yun Rong took another peek at Nan Surou, who had a calm face reflected in the mottled firelight, and couldn't help feeling admiration in her heart, her master was really not an ordinary person.

The corners of Nan Surou's lips curled into a sarcasm, this fire was going to burn her to death, but do these people think she is a fool?

Something flashed through her mind, Nan Surou suddenly bent down and whispered something to Yun Rong beside her.

Yun Rong frowned, but still nodded. Although she didn't understand the meaning of Nan Surou's arrangement, she obediently hurried down the big tree at the fastest speed, concealed herself, and walked cautiously towards the fire scene go.

Through the dense leaves with narrow gaps, one can see long tongues of fire shooting out from a certain corner of Huachun Courtyard, which is the junction of Nan Surou's house and Nan Xiyuan's house.

Looking at the flames that dyed the night sky red, Nan Surou couldn't help feeling sorry for the precious furniture caught in the flames.

After a while, the whole yard was on fire.

There was a sound of crying and shouting, and everyone rushed to fetch water.

What is helpless is that the wind is very high tonight, and the fire is getting more and more violent, and the splashed water instantly turns into green smoke, choking the firefighters, coughing and panting.

In such a situation, many people were too frightened to rush forward, and could only watch helplessly as the two houses were engulfed by the fire dragon.

The burning house burned for a long time, and finally the burned empty house was not enough to support the tiles on the roof, and began to fall apart, pouring down like hail, with a "crash", the elegant courtyard in the past became tonight. It was in ruins.

The fire was so intense that it alarmed Mrs. Wei, Nan Xiyuan grabbed Mrs. Wei's hand and screamed from time to time.

Mrs. Wei Guo looked at the raging fire with an extremely ugly expression.

Mrs. Wei Guo suddenly said sharply: "Where is my cousin? Where is my cousin?"

Du Juan and Caixin were all stunned, completely unresponsive, and had been staring at the fire in a daze, and now they were shouted at by Mrs. Wei, and suddenly panicked.

After Nan Surou became seriously ill, these servants kept a distance from Nan Surou.

People's hearts are complicated, and they would rather believe what they have or not. Although the unfavorable rumors about Nan Surou have subsided, these people are still very afraid, so if they can't get close to Nan Surou, they won't get close. How can they think Have you ever encountered such a thing?

It's night now, Du Juan and the others are taking advantage of Nan Surou's fast asleep and not paying attention, wanting to be lazy and skip the night watch, and going back to the room to rest, who knows that there is a fire before entering the room, and the servants panic, They ran out in a hurry, and now they realized that Nan Surou was not in the crowd after being drunk by Mrs. Wei Guo.
