I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 971
At least, she likes the fireworks on the [-]th night of this year very much.

When Gu Tuo saw this, he immediately said: "I'll prepare a bigger and more lively event for you later, and I'll show it to you alone."

"Okay, then I'll just wait!" Xia Ying nodded with a smile.

Gu Tuo nodded. "Just wait at ease, it won't be long!"

While speaking, his tone was firmer than ever before.

The eyes of the children also followed the continuous fireworks in the sky. Everyone watched for a long time, and they reluctantly looked away until the fireworks dissipated.

"I still remember when I was a child, I saw a lot of such grand sights. After so many years, I never thought I would see them again now. Even, the fireworks are much more abundant now than when I was a child." Gu Yuanlong said in a low voice.

It's just that the person watching the fireworks with him has changed.

But fortunately, although the people have changed, the people who are with me are still my close relatives, and the population is even more than before!This is enough.

After finishing speaking, Gu Yuanlong turned his head slowly. "Father, mother, should we go to worship our ancestors together now?"

Gu Tuo immediately shivered.

"It's time to go. So much has happened this year!"

He just turned around. "Xiaoqi, look at Sister Bao, Brother Long, Brother Hao, and Sister Fu, you follow us."

Sister Bao and her children are still too young after all, so they can't let them know about these things for the time being.

Xiaoqi nodded quickly, and she told Bao and her children to go back to the room to wash up.

Gu Tuo Xia Ying took the three children and went to the side room again - since they moved here, apart from tidying up and settling down, the first thing Gu Tuo Xia Ying did immediately afterward was to quickly tidy up a clean room. house, and then properly placed the tablets brought over from Jiangbian Province.

Up to now, these tablets have finally come to see the sun again once a year.

After entering the house, Gu Tuo lit a candle, and then brothers Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao stepped forward to uncover the red cloth covering the memorial tablet.

Seeing these tablets that had been with them for many years again, Xia Ying didn't feel scared, on the contrary, she felt a sense of closeness in her heart.

The same goes for Gu Tuo.

He hastily lit the white candles on the altar, and then picked up the sticks of incense and lit them. Everyone offered three sticks of incense.

"Brother Gu, and seniors, we came to see you again. A lot of things happened to us this year. Fortunately, everything was safe and sound, and we all made it through safely. I think, there must be you in the process Because of the blessing behind us..."

Gu Tuo took his time and told all the things that happened to their family this year.

While speaking, Gu Yuanlong, Gu Yuanhao, and sister Fu also came forward to offer incense and salute in turn.

Although it was just a seemingly simple little ceremony, and there was not even a formal charter, the whole family put on an extremely dignified and serious attitude, and everyone was meticulous in everything they did.

The ceremony lasted for an hour before finally coming to an end.

It's almost midnight now.

After finishing this matter, Xia Ying was already yawning profusely.

"It's getting late, everyone, go back to your room and go to sleep! Tomorrow is the new year, and next year will start, and we have a lot of things to do at home!"

The children nodded quickly, and everyone obediently went back to their rooms to wash up.

The same goes for Gu Tuo and Xia Ying.

For the whole year, they have almost felt a string in their hearts.Until now, when the year is at the end of the year, they can relax a little bit and take a breath.

Now that she didn't want to say anything, she put on her pajamas and fell directly on the bed.

Gu Tuo didn't say much, he just hugged her tightly with both hands, and the husband and wife fell asleep with their necks intertwined.

It's just that this year is destined to be an uneasy year, and the next year will be the same.

and so……

Not long after the family rested, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Immediately following Gu Yuanhao's shout——

"who is it?"

Gu Tuo and Xia Ying didn't dare to rest assured and slept too hard.So as soon as they heard the movement, they quickly got up and put on their clothes and got out of bed.

The couple rushed out the door and saw the house was on fire.

Moreover, it was not anywhere else that caught fire, it just happened to be the side room where the memorial tablet was placed!

When Xia Ying saw this, her heart immediately rose to her throat.

She quickly pulled Gu Tuo. "Sir..."

"It's okay, I'll go and see first. You go and see the children."

Gu Tuo comforted him softly, and he walked towards the ear room together with Gu Yuanhao.

Xia Ying also hurriedly turned her head to call Lai Fu and Xiao Qi, the two children had already woken up.As for the three sisters and brothers Bao, they still slept like piglets.When Xia Ying went to look at it, the three of them were still sleepy, muttering that they wanted to continue to sleep!
Since the child is fine, Xia Ying is relieved.

She quickly put the three little ones back to sleep, then closed the door and went out.

When she got outside, she saw that Gu Tuo had already come.

"The fire was ignited from the red cloth covering the tablet. Now all the tablets have been burned, and even the side room is almost burned. But fortunately, except for the side room, other houses have been affected. It's not serious, brother Hao, me and the servants in the house brought water in time and put it out." He explained the situation to Xia Ying in this way.

After Xia Ying finished listening, her eyebrows frowned even tighter.

"How could there be a fire in the side room? Didn't we make sure that all the candles were extinguished before we left?"

"Someone wants to set fire on purpose, so of course we can't stop it." Gu Tuo said, "Besides, it looks like the arsonist is clearly helping us."

Xia Ying's heart sank again.

Of course she understood that most of the tablets covered under the red cloth were shady.If they were found out and moved out, then their family would die!

Even if the crown prince protects and the side concubine of King Qin helps to speak, it won't work!

So it's a blessing indeed if it's just burned instead of taken away.

only……

"Who did it?" Xia Ying just wanted to know.

"If he wanted to help us, why didn't he come to remind us to hide it, but he just set it on fire?"

Their family is also very affectionate to these tablets.It's burning like this now, God knows how much pain their family has in their hearts!
"If he can't come to remind, there must be a reason why he can't remind." Gu Tuo said in a deep voice.

The figure whose face could not be clearly seen appeared again in Xia Ying's mind.

The couple were discussing this matter, when Gu Yuanhao said: "Actually, I heard the movement from the very beginning, and the people who did it were all hidden guards. One of them wanted to grab the card position, but the other Someone stopped them. He was the one who set the tablet on fire, and . . . he got hurt."
