The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 181: A lifetime of prosperity and wealth
Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-One
This fire spread very fast, Xiao Tuo directed the evacuation of the guests, but all the old, the weak, the sick and the young were evacuated first, and the remaining young men participated in the firefighting.
There is a Xuncheng Secretary in Beijing. After learning of the fire in the prime minister's house, Xuncheng Secretary also sent people to put out the fire.
The remaining fire dragons have all been thrown into the lake to extinguish the flames, and the people holding the fire dragons also participated in the firefighting.
Ximen Xiaoyuean sat in the room, listening to the noise outside, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile.
She even admires herself a little, killing two birds with one stone, removing the second aunt for her mother, and removing Xia Zian, the daughter of the Yuan family, who can oppose her in this Xiangfu in the future?
"Miss, do you want to go out and have a look? It's lively outside." The dowry maid Shiliu said with a smile.
Ximen Xiaoyue sat in front of the dressing table, quietly drawing her eyebrows, "If you don't go, what's so beautiful? I'm most afraid of seeing a dead body."
At the same time, the dowry maid Safflower stepped forward and said: "Miss, the second master is also fighting the fire outside. If you don't go, I'm afraid that you will be held accountable in the future, saying that you are cold."
Ximen Xiaoyue hooked her lips, "I am a bride, how can I go to such a dangerous occasion? My grandfather will not blame me, and if the second house does not have a savage woman like the second aunt, the second uncle will not be more than that. It's a paper tiger, it can't be fierce, I'm not afraid at all."
Safflower said with a smile, "That's true. If it wasn't for the second lady to support her, the second room would have been beaten to the cold palace by the old lady. Now that the second lady is gone, my wife can come forward."
"My mother has been bullied all her life, and it's time to turn over." She looked at the jade-like appearance in the mirror, and was very satisfied, but suddenly frowned, "Hong Hua, come here, my Kodan's color and lips Isn't the color of honey not suitable?"
She raised her finger and curled her lips, "It's really not a good match. You take out the lip gloss that the Empress gave you when you entered the palace last time, and make the color brighter. Today I'm the bride, always. I can't let the women outside take away my brilliance."
Pomegranate said: "Miss's favorite is to put pomegranate red on her lips and her eyebrows are dark blue, which makes her skin very fair and clean."
"I haven't dressed up for many years. If I hadn't remarried this time, I would have succumbed to the blue light all my life." Ximen Xiaoyue sighed softly and looked at the person in the bronze mirror left and right, "You said, I With Yuan Shi, who looks better?"
Safflower puffed, "You're not afraid of insulting yourself when you ask this, Mrs. Yuan is an old woman, how can she compare to you, Miss?"
Ximen Xiaoyue scolded her with a laugh, "Hong Hua, your mouth is too mean, how can you speak like this? Yuan Shi was indeed a beauty when he was young, but now that he is old, he should be There is also a bit of the charm of her youth, maybe she should not be allowed to go out of the house today, so that I can meet and toast the guests together."
Pomegranate asked, "Have you not met Yuan Shi?"
"I haven't seen it before, in fact, I am somewhat similar to Yuan Shi. She lives in a secluded place, and I live in a secluded place, but my mood is calmer than hers. She is not at peace in this prime minister's mansion. , especially talented women, who are even more vulnerable, if Yuan shi comes back, I have to treat her better than when Chen Linglong was in charge."
Pomegranate can't help but say: "Miss's heart is soft, this Yuan Shi is now named Danqing County Lord, I am afraid that the arrogance will be more arrogant than before."
"I can't be arrogant. After Xia Zian's death, she has no more support, and the Prince Regent will not take care of her. Moreover, since the Yuan family's house has moved out, she can be said to have no one to rely on in Beijing. In this prime minister's residence, you will still know how to be a man."
She always felt that her makeup was not enough, so she ordered Honghua to throw some rouge again, and when she saw the flower-like face, she grinned lightly, "Although Mr. Xiang is older, he is stable and mature. It's good, I don't look old at all, I don't know how many times stronger than those sons and brothers."
Her face, whether it was because of the rouge or the shyness in her heart, turned crimson.
"By the way, if something happens to the second lady, can the dowry be taken back and stored here?" Pomegranate asked suddenly.
"Don't be in a hurry, take it back to the central warehouse first, and wait for Yuan to pack up and leave the Xiazhi Garden. As for this place, I'll be living here soon. I'll take advantage of the decoration of the side room, so I'll take care of the Xiazhi Garden by the way. Pack up and change some furniture."
"Also."
She stood up and walked to the window, watching the fire in the side house, and sighed softly: "This fire is too big, the side house is afraid that it will be terrible, or it's better, tear it down and rebuild it, be a graceful It's fine."
"No, the place is pretty good, near the garden." Pomegranate smiled.
Safflower sniffed the smell in the air and suddenly asked, "What smell can you smell? It smells like fire."
"Of course," Pomegranate said with a smile, "such a big fire must have the smell of burning."
"No, no," Hong Hua looked around, ran out, and was startled, "Oh my God, it's on fire."
Ximen Xiaoyue and Shiliu rushed in her direction, only to see that the wing next to the yard was on fire, and thick smoke was coming out of the wing.
"Oh my God, there are a lot of cannonballs in it, it's for the new house tonight." Shiliu was taken aback, "Somebody, somebody!"
Safflower rushed out and found the door to the yard tightly closed. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, "The servants must have gone to the side room to put out the fire."
Ximen Xiaoyue was shocked and said solemnly: "Quick, find a way to open the door."
The door was locked from the outside, and the sound of the chains could be heard when the two of them pulled hard.
"Someone locked it outside." Hong Hua was shocked.
Ximen Xiaoyue is anxious, "How is this good? Is there a way out here?"
"No, there is only one front door in this yard. There used to be a side door, but it was sealed." Pomegranate took out a chair from the house and slammed the door hard, seeing the fire rising higher and higher, thick and thick. The smoke reduced and the open flame rose, accompanied by a "crackling" sound, followed by a continuous "bang, bang, bang" sound, the sound was so loud and scary that the doors and windows of the wing flew out.
The flames burst out and quickly swept along the corridor. Originally, there was nothing in the corridor, and it was reasonable to say that it couldn't burn. However, as if kerosene had been poured on the ground, it suddenly started to burn.
"Help, help!" Safflower and Pomegranate shouted openly.
Outside the door, there was a person listening to the howls with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Then she untied the silk ribbon on her body, threw the tung oil jar directly at the gate, and then lit it with a fire stick and fiddled with it. Shaking his hair, Shi Shi left.
The door was splashed with oil, and soon it was lit, and soon, the door would be broken, and they could escape from here.
"People are trying to kill me, but I'm just trying to scare them. I'm really too soft-hearted. Xia Zian, you will be rewarded for being so kind, and you will definitely... be rich and prosperous for a lifetime!" Zian sighed softly , Once again, I feel that I am following a lot of second-hand goods, and my thinking has become a bit second-hand.
