Solitary pet

Chapter 56

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, and everyone in Wei's mansion was busy preparing for Mrs. Wei's birthday. He Sheng prepared a copy of Jade Guanyin. The gift was neither light nor heavy, just right.

In order to make Mrs. Wei happy, Wei Youguang set up a stage to hold a banquet early in the morning. By noon, half of the rich and noble families in the city had come. He can't close his mouth happily.

He Sheng watched from the crowd, and the tunes sung on the stage were very catchy.Suddenly remembered that the housewarming banquet in Shen's residence was also hosted by this "Journey to the West Lake".

The grand occasion full of guests and friends was in stark contrast to the empty Shen Mansion next door.He Sheng subconsciously looked to the west, stretched his neck, and his sight couldn't reach the wall of Shen's residence.

Suddenly someone approached him, He Sheng turned his head and saw that it was Song Wuzhi.

Probably came with Song Yao.He Sheng greeted her as usual and looked around. As expected, Song Yao stood not far away and winked at her.

Because of Song Yao's promise last time, He Sheng felt relieved, not afraid that Song Wuzhi would say any reckless and bold words.

Song Wuzhi looked at her carefully, for fear that his presence would cause her any trouble.After sneaking a glance for a long time, seeing her concentrate on watching the play as if she had nothing to do, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and watched it together next to her.

Hearing her humming a few words from time to time, Liuying tactfully forgot everything.

When she got up and was about to go to other places, Song Wuzhi remembered what he wanted to say, and chased after her.

He Sheng turned his head, "What's wrong?"

Song Wuzhi stammered, and said: "After this month, I will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination." The tone of the second half of the sentence changed, and there was a bit of determination in the tone, "This time I will go to Beijing, and I will definitely take the imperial examination. "

When he said this suddenly, He Sheng was a little surprised, maybe he came to say goodbye?Follow his words and say: "Well, I believe you will be able to return home in good clothes."

The usual words of encouragement changed the situation in Song Wuzhi's ears.He grinned, as if confirmed.

If she becomes the number one scholar in martial arts, her relatives in Wangjingwei Mansion will definitely look up to him.At that time, he will propose marriage openly and let her be the wife of the number one scholar in a glorious manner. After he has made meritorious service in the future, he will earn her the title of wife of the imperial court.

The old lady Wei in front is called He Sheng.When he got to the front, he found out that Wangjing Wei Mansion had sent a congratulatory gift, which was so rich that it contained three boxes.

Granny Wei's mouth was almost laughing to the back of her neck, and she grabbed Hesheng's hand, saying "my grandson" in one mouthful.

Wei Youguang and the grandma were also happy watching, Wei Youguang frowned at the grandma, "Look, I just said that there was a misunderstanding, Wangjing Dafu is dignified, how can he ignore his own girl, no, busy You gave our old lady so many gifts, so you hope we can take good care of Hesheng?"

The eldest grandma should be yes again and again.

He Sheng was surprised, looking at the congratulatory gifts sent by the mansion in front of him, he was in a daze for a moment.On the other side of Dafu, does it mean that she can stay in Shenghu and not have to worry about other things?

The banquet lasted until the evening, and it was only at Xu time that the crowd dispersed.The people in the Wei Mansion were all exhausted in organizing the birthday banquet, from grandma to servant girl.

Wei Youguang was sympathetic to his servants, and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest first. Wei's mansion, where people walk around during the holiday season, was quiet tonight.

He Sheng went to bed early, tossed and turned several times in his dream, was shaken awake in a haze, and half asleep and half awake was helped to walk outside.

I thought it was in a dream, my feet were limp, and I stood on the ground for a while, when suddenly I heard someone shouting from around: "It's out of the water!"

Waking up suddenly, he realized that Cuiyu was standing at the gate of the mansion with her support. The mansion was full of flames and thick smoke was flying everywhere.

Mrs. Wei and the people from Dafang ran out without even having time to put on their shoes. They were barefoot and wearing underwear, staggering every three steps, with fear on their faces.

Wei Lin was so frightened that he cried. He was held in the arms of Wei Youguang and the eldest grandma. Facing the sudden fire, apart from the joy of escaping from death, the rest of the family was the desolation of being overwhelmed.

The mansion that had lasted for 20 years was gone.

He Sheng stood there in a daze, like a puppet, with Cui Yu hugging her and wiping her tears beside him.

The fire spread with the wind, stained the doors and windows, and swept across the roof. The raging fire seemed to engulf the entire mansion.

People who escaped from Wei's mansion carried water to fight the fire one after another. Wei Lin's family wiped away their tears and fought hard to save their family.

He Sheng rolled up his sleeves and joined the fire fighting camp.From Yao's house to Dafu, and then from Dafu to Wei's house, this is her second home.

It was poured all night, and the fire burned all night. With the first light of the morning sun, the entire Wei Mansion was finally burnt to ashes, leaving only empty shelves, extremely desolate.

The sun poked its head out from behind the clouds, and the golden brilliance was like pen and ink, using the earth as paper, slowly rendering it.The old lady Wei screamed and fell to the ground, "It's gone! It's all gone!"

Wei Youguang lowered his waist to help the old lady Wei, who was always high-spirited, suddenly looked ten years older, dejected and unable to speak a word.

The Wei family used to have no worries about food and drink, but now they don't even have a place to stay.Wei Youguang took his family to the inn, and those who were close to him on weekdays were ready to send people to pick them up. When they arrived at the inn, they learned that Mr. Shen, who had left from the next door, had already sent people to pick them up.

"Before my young master returned to Beijing, I asked you in every possible way that if master Wei was in trouble one day, he would help you at all costs. Young master has a Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs. Please don't dislike Mr. Wei and accept your wishes."

How could Wei Youguang dislike him, so he brought his whole family to live in Dongjiao Zhuangzi.

This trip into the water burned two servants, but luckily no one lost their lives.Money can be made again when money is gone, houses can be rebuilt when houses are gone, but people are gone, nothing can be done.

Wei Youguang made up his mind to rebuild the Wei Mansion, sort out the property under his name, and found that he had almost nothing except the silk shop.All the real gold and silver have been burned up, and the jewelry and jewelry have also been reduced to ashes.

If the shop is managed well, there may be a day when the Weifu will be rebuilt in the future.The whole family looked sad, and even Wei Lin, who loved to laugh, didn't smile for several days.

He Sheng saw it in his eyes, but his heart was not happy at all.When eating in the evening, he took out the key and the account book, and handed over the shops Shen Hao transferred to her name to Wei Youguang, leaving only the original makeup shop.

Wei's family was shocked, and He Sheng was afraid that they would not want them, so he threw things on the table and left in a hurry without taking a few bites of food.
